    This just in: ancient people used weapons to kill each other! Starry-eyed researchers disillusioned; cry about it.

    Hi, It’s me again.  First I would like a chance to weigh in on crustal displacement.  Just like the Catholic Church finely decided the earth revolves around the sun, is it possible that the time has come for people to come to the realization that all the book learning and college degrees don’t make theories of what happened millions of years ago  actually accurate.  I like to go by what I can see and make my own conclusions. 

     

    On that note, once again looking at Google Earth I can see that the channel left by the Colombia River through the earth quake zone (about one hundred miles west of Coos Bay, Oregon on the ocean floor) is not disconnected in any place.  While there are still minor earth quakes in that area it is my observation that all the fissures and crustal displacement was done before the river ever entered the area.

     

    Is it possible that when the earth was first formed crustal displacement was very fast and has been slowing ever since?  Slowing even to the point that now we see it almost stopped?  If you follow the chronology,  then came the people and then came more water.

     

    Sorry, I can’t see all that billions of year stuff.

    @Starkissed(Connie Ashley):

    I think it is a certainty that the Sumerian texts we have recovered have their roots in much more ancient writings; often this is explicitly stated in the text itself or in the margins, the scribe gives his name and states that he copied the content of the tablet from some ancient, crumbling/deteriorating source document, which is itself a copy of an even older text, and so on.
    I think the oldest original source texts originated around 400,000 years ago, according to the texts themselves, and corroborated by working backward through all the scribes who made copies and the dates they gave. This corresponds with the timeline of civilization implied in the Sumerian Kings Lists, which stretches back 400,000 years or so.

    So often I see people refer to biblical texts as having been "stolen" or "plagarized" from the original Sumerian texts(as if a myth is something that can be "stolen", lol), while the mythologies of Egypt, Assyria, Akkadia, Babylon, and Greece had "adapted" or "emulated" or "adopted from" the original Sumerian. The difference in word choices reveals bias, IMO. Very interesting in a psychological sense as well.

    I think that a search of strategically located areas in the vicinity of this construction will discover the artifacts of a great military conflict.
    I believe these to be for the purpose of hiding a battalion of soldiers from an opposing army so that they would be caught between the main force and the hidden force. This surprise attack from high ground would have devastated the opponent if it didn't completely wipe them out!

    It's too bad climatic conditions will make it near unlikely to ever recover genetic material from "Hobbit" specimens: this would have answered many questions regarding our lineage considering that those hominids are even more "archaic".

    Justan,

    One of the largest underground salt mines is the Wieliczka Salt Mines near Krakow, Poland. I don't think the celts knew about these mines, but perhaps there were salt deposits in the area back then?

    Celt means salt. The Celtics harvested salt as a trading tool and for health reasons and it was very important in their society. Salt has always been the one mineral that has always controlled the societies of the world since civilization began. It was at one time equal in value per weight as gold. Many Celtic centers that still exist have salt in their name from Salzberg in Austria to Halstaed in England both communities that were founded by Celts to mine or harvest salt for trade. Gaul an old name for modern France also means Salt.

  • Reply to: Should Adult Humans Drink Milk? Study of Neolithic Farmers May Have the Answer   8 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Panait Ciprian

    liar liar pants on fire."Of all the mammals on earth, human beings are the only ones who continue to drink milk beyond babyhood" that is false. The reason why most members of any mammal family does not continue to drink milk past their babyhood is because parents force them to renounce it. In rare cases (this has been noticed on chimps) the "infant" manage to trick their parents into prelonging this period well into adulthood. Also compare bone density of people today that had until reaching adulhood (18 years) a diet rich in milk with those that did not. Do not compare random samples and then say it is proof.

    Comment Author: miamac

    Are you serious? The truth is, who cares the origination of Easter or any other man-made or celebrated holiday. The reality is, if you serve God and want to abide by his instruction and his instruction only, read and study his Word and therefore ONLY partake in his holy days and jubilees. It really is that simple. And nope, this holiday known as Easter is not one of them.

    Ancient windows and doors for monuments were built with an intelligence of an architect. In todays world the idea of windows and doors have been changed. Along with a creative look, it also provides safety to our home and workplace livings. It's been studied that locations like impact windows coral springs, west palm beach and others play an important role in getting the home safe and well maintained.

    Connie,
    With great respect to your historical knowledge, I wonder if you may comment on any influence some of the ancient Hindu beliefs may have had.

    Internet Quote....

    Purusha (Sanskrit puruṣa, पुरुष") is a complex concept whose meaning evolved in Vedic and Upanishadictimes. Depending on source and historical timeline, it means the cosmic man or it means Self, Consciousness, and Universal principle. In early Vedas, Purusa meant a cosmic man whose sacrifice by the gods created all life. This was one of many creation theories discussed in the Vedas. 

    Purusha is also, in one of the early creation myths related in the Rigveda, India’s oldest text, the primal man from whose body the universe was created. 

    Purusa ("person," or "spirit"), in Indian philosophy, the soul, or self. The existence of an eternal, unchanging self is accepted by most schools of Indian philosophy, though they differ in their description of its essence and the proofs for its existence.

    Hi All, I just wanted to start by adding a cut and paste....

    Amongst the Eastern Church communities there is none more clear about the feminine aspect of the Holy Spirit as the corpus of the Coptic-Gnostic's. One such document records that Jesus says, "Even so did my mother, the Holy Spirit, take me by one of my hairs and carry me away to the great mountain Tabor [in Galilee]." The 3rd century scroll of mystical Coptic Christianity, The Acts of Thomas, gives a graphic account of the Apostle Thomas' travels to India, and contains prayers invoking the Holy Spirit as "the Mother of all creation" and "compassionate mother," among other titles. The most profound Coptic Christian writings definitely link the "spirit of Spirit" manifested by Christ to all believers as the "Spirit of the Divine Mother." Most significant are the new manuscript discoveries of recent decades which have demonstrated that more early Christians than previously thought regarded the Holy Spirit as the Mother of Jesus. One text is the Gospel of Thomas which is part of the newly discovered Nag Hammadi texts (discovered 1945-1947). Most are composed about the same time as the Biblical gospels in the 1st and 2nd century AD. In this gospel, Jesus declares that his disciples must hate their earthly parents (as in Luke 14:26) but love the Father and Mother as he does, "for my mother (gave me falsehood), but (my) true Mother gave me life." In another Nag Hammadi discovery, The Secret Book of James, Jesus refers to himself as "the son of the Holy Spirit." These two sayings do not identify the Holy Spirit as the mothering vehicle of Jesus, but more than one scholar has interpreted them to mean that the maternal Holy Spirit is intended. http://www.pistissophia.org/The_Holy_Spirit/the_holy_spirit.html

    Assuming the hands were stenciled by the person the prints belonged to, these prints also show that some people back then were left handed.

    I'm on board with this comment by A Myers, and the response from Venusdemilo. Add in rats and mice, as well as diseases such as cholera, smallpox, typhus and there's reason enough for sterilising the area. Couple it with the intensive farming of a limited growing area, to feed a dense population, and it's easy to see that fallowing of fields would not have been a widely used option for nitrogen replacement in the soils. Famine was likely another reason for periodic moves, and maybe the first dead of each famine and disease outbreak was the key to the individual events, using the bone-fires to destroy any other human remains that had built up in the interim.
