At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exists countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained.
The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe.
We’re the only Pop Archaeology site combining scientific research with out-of-the-box perspectives.
By bringing together top experts and authors, this archaeology website explores lost civilizations, examines sacred writings, tours ancient places, investigates ancient discoveries and questions mysterious happenings. Our open community is dedicated to digging into the origins of our species on planet earth, and question wherever the discoveries might take us. We seek to retell the story of our beginnings.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.
Now you want us top believe that Europeans are now descended from the filthy jews. Riiiiiiiiiight! Are you a jew? I figure that you have to be, writing this sort of tripe. As a 4 yr anthropology and archaeology, I call your mockery of a report a sham. Too bad the blacks already laid claim to their mythical Kwandana or you'd claim you started there.
Not to belittle the seafaring abilities of the Neanderthals, it sounds like a lot of this happened when sea levels were lower. Maybe they just walked to Crete through the Mediterranean plain?
I’m so glad to have found this site! So many fascinating articles and new information I wasn’t aware of before. I’ve studied ancient history and legends for over 40 years. I’m looking forward to discussing the information here with you.
Namaste,

There is a great deal of ancient evidence that's just sitting there waiting to be evaluated. Add what has been misinterpreted to what has been ignored to reveal the truth.

Such a shame on humans. Yet another paradise lost. The forest is all but gone and is not readily accessible. If one drives on the main road one can easily bypass what is left, just a distant view.
An accurate assesment by Micki.
Although I think modern humans have been around for longer than 100,000 years I don't believe in lost civilizations like Atlantis or Mu. I do wonder though if it hadn't been for the very long reign of the dinosaurs could an advanced race like us have appeared on earth c.250 million years ago? If so we'd either have destroyed ourselves long ago or just maybe we'd have populated our region of the galaxy, where in all that time our descendants on different planets would have evolved very differently from each other.
One historian said the Romans knew about the analgesic properties of opium when its smoke is inhaled, and when it was available it was used to treat soldiers' battle wounds. It became forgotten knowledge.
Conundrum. If a previous civilization walked softly upon the earth and did not trash it, they would have survived. If they did what we are doing they would have died out but left a discernible footprint.
The Crespi tablets were discredited as fakes long ago.
Thank you for a very interesting article.
Is there any idea how Sumerians made the journey from what is now the Middle East to South America? As the oldest know civilization, I would think this would put to rest the idea that the Ancients had no knowledge of the planet or the continents. I would love to see more about this.

While the article was good, so far as it went, it would have been nice to see Mexico, arguably the one country in North America most heavily influenced by Catholicism, featured along with Canada and the US>

An interesting hypothesis is raised by Robert Lomas & Christopher Knight in the Hiram Key.

In the land of old, The hill of Tara in Ireland was where the law was proclaimed. The law of Jew's is the torah. There are also similarities between Phoenician and the early Irish Celtic language

The question is ;:What is the price of Eternal Life? And did the Missionaries have the message of it? If they did the sacrifice was worth it and the Hurons were lifted out of Darkness. If not ALL was for naught. Relativism is illogical and stupid.
The fundamental question is : What is the price of Eternal Life? Either the Jesuit missionaries were correct or they were not. If right the Hurons et al received Eternal Life and if not it was all for naught. There is no in between.Relativism is illogical.
... and queue my last visit to a site I enjoy, despite that fact that the tiny non-stories are clearly just an excuse to drive ad revenue. First The Daily Grail goes full CAGW retard mode, now this. There have been hints before, but this empties the entire nail gun into the coffin.
"Social Justice" is no longer just a [modifier] + [noun] phrase but has become a unique compound noun meaning 'collective punishment'. If someone today shares a trait with someone who did something bad in the past, they must be punished for being a member of said 'community'; they, as an individual will be held accountable for the collective sins of past groups and can only be relieved of their guilt for someone else's action with proper obsequiousness and self-shaming constantly debasing themselves becasue someone else told them they were 'privileged'.
Continuing this narrative on this site will force me to end my paid subscription. I have no desire to pay for post modern indoctrination.
interesting article, just to point it's not 'donne' but 'donné'='given; that is, native children whom their parentshad given to the Jesuits to educate and who, now adults, accompanied and served them
