  • Reply to: Dogon Creation Myths   4 months 2 weeks ago
    Comment Author: nakiameadows

    I like learning aboout Sirius. As I konw, the Dogon are believed to possess knowledge about Sirius B, a companion star to Sirius A (the brightest star in our night sky). Their oral traditions describe Sirius B as a dense, invisible star with a 50-year elliptical orbit around Sirius A. Remarkably, this information predates modern telescopic observations. So surprised! I read them through https://www.slideshare.net/rbgstreetscholar1/the-akan-other-africans-and-the-sirius-star-system https://geometrydashsubzero.io .

    Can you tell me more about Sirius A and B?

    "The Aboriginal Didgeridoo Was a Tool for Healing and Peace."

    I guess that means this article won't discuss the times a didgeridoo has been used as an impromptu weapon...

  • Reply to: Little Known Facts About the Queen of Sheba (Video)   4 months 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    "The stories differ; some cast her as a wise convert to Judaism, while others depict her as a sun-worshipping queen resisting Islamic conversion."

    A sun-worshipping queen resisting Old Testament Judaism and turning Solomon's head would likely be more accurate. There is no evidence that Islam existed almost a millennium BC.

  • Reply to: How Humans Became (Mostly) Right-Handed (Video)   4 months 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: George Metaxas

    “The left hemisphere, controlling the right hand, played a crucial role in manipulating objects...” This contralateral connection of the brain, common to all mammals has its roots way back in the evolutionary track (it has to do with the eye evolution, in my opinion). But the prevalence of the right-handedness may have to do with the left – right brain “specialization” and the subsequent better ability of the left part for rationalization.

  • Reply to: Reggae Music Lyrics are Intimately Linked to Historic Babylon   4 months 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    When Ba'al worshippers talk of The Exodus, they mean the exodus from Christ. Popular music is at the vanguard of this exodus.

    When one understands the playbook, one can truly understand the lyrics. Love can be about love for the Devil. Pride can be about pride in successful deception. The 'boy upstairs' can be Lucifer, the morning star. Even the description of successful artists as 'stars' is a shout-out to Lucifer.

    I could have been a professional lyricist. Easily. But I refused to work for the Devil. Many in the music industry do, at various levels. Anyone who fails to see the Luciferian themes in popular music videos is blind to it, just as those who do not hear them are deaf to it.

    Modern humanity is increasingly blind, deaf and mute to the truth.

    People need to stop taking things at face value. The Zion of the song mentioned is not the Zion of the Bible any more than the nation state of Israel of today is the Israel of the Bible.

    One of the easiest ways to deceive is to use subtlety to change the meaning of a word. Most will not even notice the difference. In fact, some can even claim that the new meaning is the original meaning. Muddied waters spread widely.

    Rastafarian music is as Christian as voodoo, or not at all. But it is Babylonian, in a sense. That thread of the article is true.

    Reggae culture is linked to fake Judaism, which is modern Ba'al worship, precisely what the Old Testament warns against.

    It is catchy music, but then the Devil is highly entertaining.

    This discussion certainly went off the rails in a short time.    “a evil man a dickens evil steph father a jesuit World scavenger” isn’t about archaeology, scientifc enquiry, history. It’s conspiracy theory & paramoiac thinking more than anything else. That sort of conjecture contrubutes nothing toward answering legitimate questions.

    Without evidence of **enough”” humans living at this site long enough to prepare it for level 1, bring in materials, modify stones as needed, asemble, revise, bring in more stone, it’s just multiple layers / piles of stones. Human activities leave evidence in adition to the “finished product’,  What does the data for intervals of  *occupation* of the site say? What does the detritus at  level 1 say, about 20’ horizonal x 2 -3 ft deep? What exactly is  “evidence of advanced stoneworking techiques”?

    Most history is a hybrid of half-truths and fairytales designed to obscure the fact that the writings of Machiavelli were but a Sunday School picnic compared to many real events.

    'Power corrupts' is the slogan of the lazy and inefficient, from the point of view of corruption. Far better for corruption, itself, that power attracts the already corrupted, cutting out the waiting and uncertainty.

    "Al-Andalus witnessed the harmonious coexistence of Muslims, Jews and Christians..."

    This is overstated wokeness, which is probably a tautology. However, it is true that seemingly disparate religious groups can have coinciding aims, however temporarily. Or even permanently.

    The destruction of the Visigoths by Islam opened the door for Vatican Catholicism to later conquer the Iberian Peninsula in full, something that may not have been achieved otherwise.

    It is worth remembering that the Visigoths were of an entirely different brand of Christianity.

    In fact, it has been suggested that Vatican Catholicism was a willing bystander, if not silent partner, to the Islamic conquest, in the knowledge that it took out a rival.

    Catholicism could then claim to have been reconquering when, in fact, it was not reconquest but a very patient conquest, according to this view.

    It is also worth remembering that history is often dumbed-down to simplistic stories, when the truth is far more nuanced and often diabolical.

    Moslems, Jews and Christians should come together. But when their supposed leaders do, well, that may not be for the benefit of the ordinary folk at all. In fact, I know that this century it won't be, for such is already planned.

    I agree with you Elicia but from a different angle let's travel in time to an era where we were not much different from apes but with some improvements and prevalence of instincts in our acts over our early primitive thinking. No matriarchy, no patriarchy, no moral, no oppression, no preferences, no language structured mind, no politics, no nothing from our actual time, mental structure, culture, lies, political ideas, indoctrination, chaos or nonsense. Just the crucial need of a pack leader, female or male didn’t matter, a leader needed for the pack’s survival and improvement. A detail that is usually missed, women were considered as magical beings related to the moon, they were who generate life from nothing (magic based and structured minds) and admired for that power. Eventually mind and intelligence evolves, new data added to the moon relation, sex correlation to the life generating power, men were related to that power too, so power sharing, magic gone (procreation is still an outstanding capacity that women have). This direct relation between sex and procreation generated a new problem of fatherhood roles. Women have certitude on being a mother, beyond who’s the father, that child is her child, she gave birth to him, it came out from her after 9 months. But who’s the father, no certitude on the men, so how do men enter the fatherhood? That place is assigned or provided by a mother that affirms “this is your kid” and embraced by a blind trust on that mother's words. Then, evolution kept going and a new bunch of problems appeared. Population kept growing, moral values and responsibilities too (providing, caring, feeding, protection) in a world still lacking on resources access and food a daily concern. Hard work to do, farming (both have to do) didn’t grant survival, famine was a day to day reality, so male needed a job that eases survival probabilities. Soldier it will be, if he dies his wife and children will do too or maybe she could sell one of the kids to feed her and the others increasing their survival probabilities. Sometimes she manages to feed them by less drastic measures, this lucky man managed to survive after 2 years away he gets home and finds he has a new child, 18 months exactly, and another mouth to feed. Self preservation and procreation (basic on every animal) those who live in packs you can add the protection of the pack. Males spread their seeds mostly when they become Alpha or in sneaky ways if there’s a chance. His pack, his seed, his genes (the strongest) and his descendants without any certitude looks some kind of assurance on descendants to be his, those with the best genes survival, The right gained, after having hard times, many wounds and risking his pack permanency and maybe his life, by challenging the alpha and winning that place. You got me, any adaptation or evolution pushes us one step up, solving many problems we had on the previous step, and adding many new ones on the actual one. Under many layers of improvements that we got by evolution and time, we are still animals, basic and elemental instincts remain, they don’t prevail over our thinking but they still conserve the power to influence them. All my respect ma’am.
