    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!

    Comment Author: gregbowers

    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 

  • Reply to: What did the Egyptians think of Cleopatra?   2 months 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: gregbowers

    In "Egyptology: The Missing Millennium," Okasha el Daly contends that Arab scholars decoded hieroglyphics centuries before Champollion. Cleopatra, dubbed the "Virtuous Scholar" by Arab scholars, challenges traditional perceptions. Comments discuss Cleopatra's potential multilingualism and her diverse intellectual pursuits in alchemy, toxicology, mathematics, law, and medicine. The conversation showcases the evolving narrative around historical figures and emphasizes Cleopatra's multidimensional intellect.

    Stars are created through a process called nuclear fusion, specifically hydrogen fusion, in their cores. This involves the conversion of hydrogen nuclei into helium, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat.

    It is most probable the woman in the pre-chamber of Tomb II to be Cynane mother of Eurydice (and step sister of Arhhidaeus and Alexander). Indications are the older age (30-35yo), the fact that she was not buried in the same main chamber with Arhhidaeus and mostly that her greaves are of unequal length meaning a serious wound in one foot, something not compatible with Eurydice, whose body probably was not recovered after having committed suicide.

    Comment Author: Cataibh

    "Ultimately, Mesopotamian divination and omens were integral components of a society deeply interconnected with the divine."

    No. It was deeply interconnected with the Devil and the Devil is not divine, however much Devil-worshippers think otherwise.

    Comment Author: George Metaxas

    These stories with giants fighting between them, were the outcome of the discovery of the bones of giant mammals that were uneathed in various places in Greece, and of the effort to justify their existence. Plus, that the ancient Greeks had a very fertile imagination.

  • Reply to: Did the Ancient Greeks and Romans Experience Alzheimer’s?   2 months 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: George Metaxas

    ….”older Tsimane people, only about 1% suffer from dementia. In contrast, 11% of people aged 65 and older living in the United States have dementia”… Then what is the percentage of Tsimane people over 65, in comparison to US citizens? I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers are not far away from 1% and 10% respectively. I mean that in western societies medical care helps a much higher percentage of older people to survive with severe medical conditions, than in primitive cultures.

    The medicine of Galen was often based on poor science, yet the medicine of today is no different in that regard.
    Alzheimers is not a disease "of modern environments and lifestyles, with sedentary behavior and exposure to air pollution largely to blame."

    It is caused by pollution to the body, but that is intentional pollution in food, water, medicines (including vaccines), chemspraying* and whatever other ways we can be poisoned without our knowledge.

    This is because our Luciferian rulers want to rule largely without us. They don't need so many subjects and certainly not so many elderly subjects.

    They probably don't really mind me saying this, as you long as you don't believe it, which they know you most certainty won't.

    They rule because you and the billions like you allow them to. They regard that as acceptance. In that respect, they're right.

    * Chemsprayimg is deliberate aerial pollution, so in this respect they're telling the truth. It's just what they say doesn't mean what you think it does. This is a common Luciferian tactic, to tell revealing truth knowing it shall be misunderstood.

    These artifacts a very interesting and beautiful.  It’s breathtaking to know artisans in antiquity were capable of such fine and creative pieces.  I wonder what, if any, religious significance these items had?

  • Reply to: Why Are Mysterious Handbags Prevalent in Ancient Carvings Worldwide?   3 months 1 day ago
    Comment Author: Morgain

    Far too much religious/ cosmology fuss. The earliest or very early tool was the bag. There are many refs to stone tools because they survive millennia easily. But long before that we made tools from more easily worked materials: wood (digging sticks, staves) and BAGS of large leaves, grasses, skins. Essential as for most of our story we have been mobile gypsies so carrying stuff vital. Food, babies, and lined with clay, water, then fire. Carrying a bag would be a s strandard as wearing something around the loins.

  • Reply to: Has the Archaeologist’s Spade Been Replaced By Modern Technology?   3 months 1 day ago
    Comment Author: Archaeologist

    The archeologist’s spade can and never will be replaced.  It takes the archeologist’s sight and careful excavation to see what’s important and what’s not.  How many discoveries have been made because an archeologist saw something peeking through the dirt that needed further study, or, when really lucky, the glint of gold?

    You do a disservice to the field of archeology when you suggest we’re replaceable by modern technology.
