  • Reply to: Why do Ice Ages occur? A New Paradigm Shift on a Prehistoric Problem   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Colin Berry

    Wiki gives a nett lifetime for methane – atmosphere mainly, a little in the soil – of 8.4 years, which is pretty quick if thinking in terms of planetary glaciation cycles.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane

    Mechanism of removal?  Again, according to wiki (let the user beware) it gets attacked by OH free radicals, the latter deriving from singlet oxygen, being turned first into formaldehyde,  HCHO, and then, after reaction with more OH, into CO2 and water.

    The dust theory is quite a promising one, given that it's testable in principle by looking at ancient ice cores. Now if they could just find powdered Gobi desert yak dung ...

    Perhaps animal methane can be added catalyst, once methane is formed or released, what counteracts methane ? or is there just simple dissipation ? amonia and other elements too.

    I suspect also that methane and ammonia concentrations can rise and fall as well, thus attributing aid in the off balances. Additionally, similarly other Whole Planets, such as Pluto show the same signs and results, just with different gases emissions being the culprit. Mars probably use to have them both, but now just dust storms are left.. Are there enough animals along geological timeline to add affect to legal climate enigma ? I think there may seriously be, a lack of scientists willing to work on all those drilled glacial cores we have. Yet also, it may be beyond suspect that there is nothing man can do to counteract the earths way of balancing. global warming is a hoax; climate change is only the earth, at work :)

    Neanderthals were thought to originate in Europe, so when the ancestors of present day Europeans arrived, interbreeding occurred.
    Neanderthals are considered to be Homo sapiens, as are Cro Magnons.

  • Reply to: Why Did Early Human Societies Practice Violent Human Sacrifice?   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Andrew B Brown

    I agree with the Social Control Hypothesis, but will go further, that the purpose was to create obedient women for selection by the chief.

    The sacrifices might be the elimination of male contenders, or it could be the result of a take-over.

    tsurugi,
    I believe the question arises from the fact that Ur of Sumeria was known in Ancient times, then forgotten about and was not rediscovered until the early 1900s.
    Ur of Chaldea was known in the more recent of Ancient times and was remembered into the present.
    Example:
    Hammurabi was given credit for the first written legal code for hundreds of years. However, in the early 1900s Ur-Nammu's written law code was found and proven to predate Hammurabi's law code by a few centuries.

    Ancient scribes translated the earlier Sumerian cuneiform tablets into their languages and made a reference to where the original information originated. This reference raised a question into archeologists' minds but the question was not answered until evidence of the Sumerian civilization was discovered.
    The problem was compounded because the scientists do not know the origins of the Sumerian people and the Sumerian language has not been deciphered.

    190 ppm is not the necessary trigger. but the gun when fired, the reverse gear engaged, yet not until climate glass (or delicacy) has gone just beyond overfill or underempty.

    Johnny Cope,
    The Garden of Eden is thought to have been in the northern regions of Mesopotamia. Abram left Sumer to make his journey to Canaan/Promised Land, where he changed his name to Abraham.

    Noah lived in Mesopotamia between the life of Adam and Abram/Abraham. Noah and the Sumerian flood stories would come from the same event. There are dozens of flood stories from all over the world, from widely spaced different cultures. Something happened to generate those Flood stories.

    There are several dangers with any expedition, greedy cartels, thieves to outsiders and they don't care who you are. Any expedition needs to be planned well, well funded, plan to stay a while meaning long term dedication which also means money. Besides money, food and water may need to be transported in, making it vulnerable to smugglers, thus archeological searches more difficult. Also articfacts found are vulnerable to smugglers, lying traders whop appear to be helpful. Also dangerous animals, insects and disease can make some fearful. I wonder however if there is a program where the curious and very interested can join some monthly Long expedition to go there. But one has to have time on their hands, have interest and willing to be in danger most of the time. Unpredictable.

  • Reply to: Palenque and the Great Temple of the Inscriptions: A Site Built for a King   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Joe Stitzel

    well, on the lid, if you took him out of picture for a moment, one can more clearly then make out that is a throne chair, it has very good cematrics to it, but then put him in picture again, he is sitting on the throne chair completely sideways, like as to face the sky, being a king, he desired to be facing upward for eternity in his own, depiction design. Perhaps he felt his chair would be a platform mount, that placed him inside his own personal temple, looking up ! I am wondering what the other symbols on lid mean, and being where their placed gives direct meaning of value to him. Would love to see pictures of trap door that is apparently hidden in plain site, seems hidden between the glyphs.
    Are they available ??
    Would like to see his death mask removed to see him. Something else i gather from his, chair , is the eyes and monkey face beneath him, perhaps depicting him above primates to having, thought, as he himself realized his intellect. Amazing temple was at least impart built around his sarcophagus.
    Are there pictures of this staircase ? That show sunlight piercing along side them ?
    And that tube itself, could also have been for those alive, to communicate with him, making them believe, he was still with them, as he believed his spirit was that strong/pure. Again i point to his throne chair, and the way he sits on it. I also wonder if the living poured sacrificial blood down it, in hope he would continually bless them. I am interested in seeing more pics of temple interior.
    I gather the wood posts are part of the tomb design, yet is he himself still inside ? or removed to a museum ? The space beneath the lid is strange..

    It just could be a marker for a grave site. a king ? or a treasure. Go in and investigate !
    Sonar beneath the surface couldn't hurt.. metal detector at least.
    What other ruins are near it, though it is remote, that don't mean no one has ever been there, i know kings search for places to place their tombs, with what they know they desire to take with them, treasure trinkets ! :)

    Comment Author: Tsurugi

    Well, with the Holocaust, we have serious hard evidence. Like, for instance, photos of large piles of bodies frozen together, just outside of massive prison complexes containing things like gas chambers and furnaces, etc. These facilities still exist to this day. They're pretty convincing, for anyone with at least two brain cells to rub together.

  • Reply to: Kuh-e Alvand: Searching for the True Mountain of Noah and his Ark   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: wally58

    Sefrefet above made the comment on the ark being used to build houses. David Deal discusses this in his book I referenced above. Noah and family were likely in the long process of stripping the ark of useful things when a heavy rain, presumably/apparently/possibly, caused the ark to lose its stability and slide down the hill in the mud where it came to rest and where it remains today. Deal also shows the remains of foundations and fire pits still there and pretty much worn down over several thousand years of erosion. He also suggests tens of thousands of graves at the site as well. Just finding the ark is one thing, but to show that a small city sprang up at the same spot pretty well solidifies the story as that place is an unlikely spot to travel to and build a city, otherwise. Even Deal's art work depicting the ark based on the shape left in the ground is interesting, as it is not the bulky, trudgy, clumsy, awkward ark of most biblical story illustrations. Of course, all the animals of the Earth were not required as this was a regional flood only. Some of the animals came in numbers of 7 each, which were (likely) to be used as food during the duration of the flood. I highly recommend his book on Noah's ark and his other books as well. Too bad he passed on. He was planning on coming to Texas to get some data on the Rock Wall just outside Dallas to do some work on a possible new book about the Giants and the Rock Wall. The city of Rockwall still bears the name of that formation.

    No, no, no. The Catholics wiped out the dinosaurs. The Jews killed off the Pleistocene Megafauna.
