  • Reply to: A Brief History of Homosexuality in Rome (Video)   2 months 1 week ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    Ancient Greece was a hotbed of homosexuality and Rome had its roots in Greece (no puns intended).

    The dichotomy between Ancient Rome and the Christianity that would eventually take root there may be explained by Paganism.

    Paganism is simply an alternative to God provided by the Devil. As such, it is opposite to true Christianity. It has become fashionable to gloss over any sexual relations between a Roman citizen and his male slave. From a Pagan Roman perspective, this was purely the domination of a subordinate.

    The same is used as a justification for paedophilia, something I have been unfortunate enough to experience. It is a disgusting practice and one the Devil is very fond of. Ancient Greece and paedophilia were very much bedfellows. Even calling it "paedophilia" is a deception. There is no love involved.

    I would suggest that whenever a Roman citizen had sexual relations with his male slave, there was no real love involved there either. There were just property rights.

    Is not glossing over that sin itself a sin? Or do we not worry about such things any longer?

    The Western Wall where worship occurs in Jerusalem today is not that of the ruined Jewish temple, as is claimed, but of the ruins of another Roman fortress.

    We are all descended from murderers. If one gets excited at being a descendent of an infamous murderer, one should simply grow up.

    Adding carbon to the soil aids plant growth. Attempting to lower carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere negatively affects plant growth and does nothing for reducing temperatures. In fact, if one truly wants to reduce temperatures, aiding plant growth is an effective way of doing this. Thus, releasing carbon dioxide is not necessarily bad.

    Global warming is a Satanist scam and that is bad. Indeed, it is truly evil.

    When an anti-heritical saint is himself influenced heavily by Pagan philosophy, a Latin saying could come to mind.

    Namely, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?"

    The Inquisition was underway when Aquinas joined the Dominican order. The order that Aquinas devoted his life to was devoted to and quite probably initiated for the very purpose of rooting out opposition to corruption within the Catholic Church

    Aquinas himself wrote, "As for heretics, their sin deserves banishment, not only from the Church by excommunication, but also from this world by death."

    I love this website and love reading in general. I'm here every day of the week though i don't often log in. I lost my hearing roughly 15 years ago so that love of reading really pays off these days. You guys have some great authors here at Ancient Origins though i have a hard time considering someone an author if they depend so heavily on the works of others, videos at that. This basically amounts to nothing short of plagiarism and at least a little credit should be given to the person that put in the real work. Another thing to consider is the future. Once these videos are no longer available at the link presented in these posts which is more common than most would assume, this site is going to wind up with a ton of empty content. I've been biting my tongue for a while now and felt that needed to be addressed.

  • Reply to: Undeciphered Rongorongo Script Found on Easter Island Predates European Contact   2 months 2 weeks ago

    "This is strong evidence that the island’s inhabitants invented a written language long before they encountered any Europeans."

    Strong evidence; yes. But not irrefutable proof. The peopling of the South Pacific is not without controversy. There is some evidence that the Maori, for example, were not the first to reach New Zealand. It has been suggested that Celts may have arrived earlier.

    This is not a popular possibility. Modern anthropology is subject to the whims of politics and of religion other than Christianity. The more that this is so, the more likely I am to believe the Biblical account of the confusion of languages, rather than the status quo of corrupted anthropology.

    Is it a full length sword and how was it embedded in the stone? Is the stone maybe a piece of frozen lava?

  • Reply to: The Majestic Amber Room that Went Missing From Charlottenburg Palace   2 months 2 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    World War II, like its predecessor, was a staged Satanic sacrifice event. Hitler didn't invade Britain, because he and Churchill were on the same side and such an invasion was not in the plan. Hitler and Stalin were also on the same side, but an unsuccessful invasion of the Soviet Union was planned. After all, Germany had to lose somehow.

    During the chaos, things went missing. This, again, was at times all part of the plan. The amber room is most likely now in the basement of a chateau or castle owned by one of the uber-wealthy people behind the Satanic sacrifice event. The new owner won't tell you where it is, but will enjoy it anyway, just as he likely enjoys undeserved victimhood status from all the deception that was World War II.

    Much of history is false. It is written by winners for their purposes and the cleverer they are the more they falsify it and the less historians notice.

  • Reply to: How Living Like a Hunter-gatherer Could Improve Your Health   2 months 2 weeks ago

    There's one big difference between the two - vaccines. Those behind the vaccines, and the pharmaceuticals for that matter, are bankers. They play the percentages.

    They help some and hinder more and most at risk have no idea their health is being deliberately hindered. The Covid vaccines are a perfect example of things that hinder one's health being not obvious because of the variety of weapons rolled out in them. This included snake venom, spider venom, cancer causing agents and other things.

    If all the vaccines were the same even the average person would have woken up to the threat posed to their health. However, utilising a wide range of bioweapons means the symptoms are varied and less traceable to the cause.

    It is a very clever strategy, relying on that which can be relied upon - the naivety and timidity of people.

    Hunter gatherers were less likely to be so timid. And perhaps less likely to be so trusting of strangers. In short, people have been tamed by others who see themselves as predators, and they don't even know it.

    ProfessorC suggests the skulls, leg bones, and rib cages were each in separate piles, but a glance at the picture and watching the video shows that the skulls were separate and the rest of all the bones were mingled together.

    In the article, it is stated that “When the remains were discovered, the skulls, leg bones and rib bones were arranged into separate piles.”, but probably should have been expressed as ‘the skulls, and the leg and rib bones were arranged into separate piles’. A subtle difference, but indicating that the decapitated heads were thrown into one pile, with the bodies thrown into another pile after decapitation, and suggesting that this was a mass execution of captured individuals.

    I know this isn’t the appropriate place but don’t know what else to do.

    I’ve sent several messages over the last couple of months to AO Tech Support using the AO contact form and never get a reply.
    In the past - like a year ago and before - they usually responded within a day it two max.

    Does anyone know why they seem AWOL these days?
    Or any other way to reach anyone on AO’s staff for answers to subscribers’ questions?

    Also, does anyone know whether access to AO Unleashed on Substacl is included in an AO Premium subscription? Or is “Unleashed” an entirely separate product that requires another, separate subscription on top of the charges for AO Premium Access?

    Thanks!

    Absolutely enchanted by your choice of The Singing Bone! The connection you drew to the Greek Myth of Meleager and the Calydonian boar is brilliant, showcasing the fascinating parallels between these tales. It's like uncovering hidden threads that tie together the rich tapestry of folklore. The absence of a singing bone in the Greek Myth adds a delightful twist, emphasizing how each culture puts its unique spin on timeless themes. Your exploration of the possible meanings behind these stories adds an extra layer of magic to the enchanting world of fairy tales!

    All religions are based on some truth. They are morphed into rules and regulations by those who want control of others. The truth is that we each have the ability to reach spiritualith knowledge but it comes from within rather than a God or another that can’t be explained
