    Yours is the most plausible explanation so far.

  • Reply to: Legendary Wizards: Philosophy Meets Magic in the Ancient World   8 years 1 week ago
    Comment Author: Geoff Cockayne

    No mention of Socrates, Plato or Aristotle, or of the ancient Chinese philosophers who explicitly rejected such stuff. The suggestion that the the distinction between philosophy and magic was blurred until the the middle of the 16th century is a self-serving West European myth.

    yep even the birth of religion come from thoth, and mans interpretation lead to latter religions like christianity and so forth, its pathetic to give all credit or any to greeks cause they got it from egypt, pythagoras waited 20 years to get into the mystery schools in egypt. The problem is that races existed long long ago that's not even mentioned in historical documents and only now is it starting circulate in the minds of leading thinkers

    Maybe it’s just me, but this Asian practice of sowing animals in half and re-attaching them togather seems inhuman. Kind of like Frankenstein’s monster. Are there any other forms of this ‘art’ known? As in, where other animals with the heads/tails/extremities of other species found?

    Hakim was actually not properly credited in this article. Far from being "shifty", he was a highly educated archeologicist AND indigenous oral wisdom keeper. He may have been a guide to many, but he was not a tour guide by trade; that statement does little credit to such a highly regarded individual in this field.

    The ancient Egyptians were Sumerians from Mesopotamia that took over so they are Caucasian and there is tons of physical evidence for it . You are just uneducated . Look at David Rhol work he proves it all.

  • Reply to: What if Cleopatra and Octavian Had Been Friends?   8 years 1 week ago
    Comment Author: AkhenatenII

    Octavian was a master politician.  By embracing Egyptian traditions and practices he cemented his progression as the rightful successor of Pharaoh.  He must have studied how the Greeks were able to pull if off and learned a mighty lesson for country conquest. By celebrating their culture (rather than doing what the Romans thought was warranted, destroy it) he secured the loyalty, and bread, of Egypt.

  • Reply to: Archaeologists find 12,000-year-old pictograph at Gobeklitepe   8 years 1 week ago
    Comment Author: Chris Culbert

    I love how this discovery is already changing the history books. Our collective understanding of our common history as humans is now in question. This area was obviously not a city or long term dwelling place. I would be highly surprised if they ever find the trash pit. I know that sounds silly,,,but everywhere there is poof of human habitation there is always the trash pit. The experts will never admit it,,,but 90% of what we know about early man is from the trash they left behind. The burn pits,,,the waste pits,,,and the graves. Not a single instance of any of that has been found here. Do you fint this odd? I do not. We as a species sell ourselves short on our own history. Its not easy to admit that we have a history so far back in the mist of time that we have no memory nor written account of it. The technology needed,,the planning,,the tools,,,the organization needed to build this monument did not spring out of the ground over night. The key to understanding this mystery will be in admitting the use of tools and technology at that time in our history. I believe this monument was built with technology developed over a vast amount of time in human history that we know nothing about. But in time. With luck. With faith,,,we will discover the truth of our origins. Something came before this building complex

  • Reply to: The Monumental and Mysterious Silbury Hill   8 years 1 week ago
    Comment Author: Colin Berry

    I put up a post yesterday on my own Neolithic site, recently re-activated after a longish break, hardening up on a theory some 4 years in the making, one that offers an explanation for the close proximity of Avebury, Silbury Hill and the Long Barrow at West Kennet.

    https://sussingstonehenge.wordpress.com/2016/04/17/might-the-standing-st...

    Very briefly, it’s as follows. The reason for creating standing stones, e.g. like those at Avebury, was to provide places on which scavenging birds (crows, ravens, seagulls) could perch between meals. The meals were the recently dead, laid out for excarnation (aka defleshing aka ‘sky burial’). Silbury was the home of a ‘token gesture’ interment, probably the heart only – harvested before excarnation, probably intended to assist release of the soul from mortal remains. The excarnated bones were then taken home by the relatives, or for more important folk, deposited in the nearby Long Barrow.

    I’m working on a similar narrative for Stonehenge/Durrington Walls and hundreds of barrows with the cross-piece lintels arriving finally as a superior bird perch. I think I can explain the initial preference for the Welsh bluestones over local sarsen sandstone, prior to lintels, apart from them being smaller. Clue: they’re easier to keep clean, igneous rock being more liquid-repellent than sediementary sandstone...  (go figure).

    Yes, it can make somewhat grisly reading, but the alternative options were difficult too (thin soil on chalk bedrock making grave-digging difficult, especially with pre-Bronze age antler picks, and shortage of firewood for cremation via funeral pyres).

    The hill has something to do with Avebury Henge which use to have a huge serpent of orthostats though it, maybe to observe night festivals. I would like to know if a bonfire is lit on top of Silbury Hill can it be seen from Stonehenge? All three are connected somehow because they roughly line up North/South. I believe that Avebury is a representation of a huge comet going around the Sun. https://sites.google.com/site/fromthedeepoceanabove/

    I agree with the aforementioned observations above. The "crown" does appear to be a base of chaffing dish of some design. Equal distant legs that would hold something level and an opening for a heating element... Heating a bowl of incense/potpourri?

    Seriously, do you use a monkey to do your conversions, or just a shortage of common sense.
    30 m - 98.4252 ft. I think one piece of pigeon droppings could change the 98.4252 feet considerably!

  • Reply to: What Became of Atlantis: The Flood from Heaven   8 years 1 week ago

    "Meet Me In Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City". - Mark Adams. Dewey Decimal System call number. 398.234 A215.
    This book presents several possibilities for the location of Atlantis. After reading the book I came to the conclusion that Malta may have been located in Malta, most of which is under water now. The book presents a geographical rationale for Malta as being the remnants of Atlantis. Atlantis was supposed to be beyond the Pillars of Hercules, there were several Pillars of Hercules most people think that it means the Strait of Gibraltar. The Strait of Gibraltar being the most recent site.

    The War between Atlantis and Athens is the main reason that I moved my choice within the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the possible locations would preclude that war because of distance. There are some need to treat some of the clues rather loosely. One example being the 1.2 million members of the armed forces that the Atlanteans put into battle. This would be, navy, foot soldiers, and charioters. The logistics of moving that number of men and animals that far, rule out that happening. Only 150,000 me went ashore at Normandy during WWII.

    Hello again, Any thing on the bottom of the Gulf that is exposed is not millions of years old. Sediments over millions of years would bury things so deep we would never find them. But If the were human dwellings built in the last 10 to 20 thousand years there, they could still be exposed to be found. During the time of ice the oceans were nearly 400 feet lower that today for thousands of years. Man has always lived near water because of the food found there. The Caribbean was once like a large lake like Superior and you can bet people were living all around its shores. The discovery of large stone structures down there is no surprise to me. Plato talks of Atlantis sinking in a day and a night, a subsidence event. Well about 11,600 years ago one of the largest subsidence events ever occurred in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. This event is reported as happening by geologists all over the world.

    Some how desecrating these remains puts us closer to unraveling secrets from the ancients.

    I think it's possible that human civilization could be millions of years old. But I also think that the Caribbean Sea was formed recently - as recently as the end of the last Ice Age. I don't think these positions are mutually exclusive.
