    In this day and age, the Brits have their own wickerman too – in the form of the Guy Fawkes and Guy Fawkes night. The article fails to mention WHEN and during which season the rituals with the wickerman took place. These were probably fertility rites aimed at granting the population plentiful crops. This is mentioned in the Wickerman movie as well.

    There is one main difference, but no use mentioning Him, I don't expect. I would be curious to know if you have in fact read the Bible, and if you have, did you read it with an open mind, and were you open to the Divine Presence? The evidence of a Creator is all around. The belief does not require evidence. Not everything is Empirical. Faith, for example. Everyone has Faith in something. What is your Ultimate Concern. Mine is my Relationship with God and being open to the Divine Presence in my life. To dismiss the possibility so cavalierly is, it seems to me, ShortSighted.

    Skeletons that have disappeared, having been sealed up for "security" purposes;
    Gold tombstones that disappeared into then-Soviet Russia and never resurfaced;
    Dodgy camera angles that skew perspective...

    Good grief, AO, you'll be telling us that Dark Matter really exists next!

    Look at that roof! Gotta be a smurf dwelling! Sadly, also, the making of the small-scale model means that Ms Ewbanks' Jenga set is unlikely to ever work properly again.

    As for music venue... the amount of effort that must have gone into shifting those huge stones would mean that the average Stone-Age pleb was about as likely to go there to enjoy a "rock" concert (sorry) as s/he would be to survive naked on Dartmoor in winter. If it was a meeting venue - an idea which is not actually without merit - only shamans and chief Smurfs would be likely to set their grubby soles down within its hallowed precincts, the latter only with permission of the former.

    A conference centre for maintaining the peace between local tribes would be more my guess, with the very outer ring being a high wooden pale to keep the hoi-polloi firmly out.

    As above so below, our ancient ones plotted the connection to the Celestial creative energies. By dividing the World into 12 zones around the equator a connection is made to the 12 zones around the night sky. By observing the 12 zones around the Earth the creative energies around the zodiac are interpreted. Our ancient ones discovered the World changed to the pattern of the body and unique animals existed in different regions of the World expressing body parts. The World was explored and unique characteristics were recorded from each zone of the World which related to the full body of the World and the full body of the Celestial sky. From this zone the crab or Dorset crab was a distinctive regional animal that expressed the breast region. 
    Stonehenge marks the zone of Cancer as part of the World anatomy as communicated through the ancient civilisations global community. The World was united as a complete body. The next zone of the World anatomy is Leo and this correlates to the Sphinx. The next is Virgo and Israel marks the zone of Virgo through Mr Christ and the Virgin Mary. The scales Buddha.......

    yes, of course! It is very exciting to see how a lousy article which gives history a short shift can bring out the best in astute readers---how did we ever as humans not only exist but thrive prior to antibiotics one must wonder...most folks had herbal gardens as part of their vegetable gardens..I was quite astounded this past winter when struck with a respiratory infection how quickly it was extinguished by the mundane garden sage leaves I had hastily dried for culinary use came to the rescue, steeped in hot water and tempered with honey....locally grown herbs unprocessed seem to pack a more potent punch than store bought ones (whose age is uncertain) A very materialistic medical establishment is forcing many to become their own doctors as costs and indifference turn more and more patients to seek alternatives...

    Ridiculous. Lenses do not work this way. Concave lenses make objects appear smaller, they do not look into some kind of negative light void. Is this a joke?

    Kathyrin, you need someone to front you alot of money, i have not that kind of amount at all. your best bet is leap of faith on a trip there, volunteer at big universitythat might send others there, and see if they pay for you to go on expedition with them, if they allow it. good luck with that :) volunteer as their baggage carrier.

    This was written by those with a vested interest in keeping humanity dumbed down.
    Cristie Columbus, Vice Dean, Texas A&M College of Medicine, Texas A&M University
    The Farm, supplying the Pharmacy had all kinds of herbs like Comfrey for the treatment of bacterial infections.
    The author actually makes it look like "doctors" of olde (read 'healers', practitioners of the wise craft and medicine (wo)men) were barbaric in their traditional methods which fails to examine the effectiveness of any traditional healing modality.
    One would have expected more research from a woman in such a place of high esteem.
    But thats the future of medicine where 'doctors' are paid drug pushers for the Pharmageddics industry.

    And how did a makeshift hoist made out of telephone poles lift stones that heavy? And how were they then moved laterally into place?

  • Reply to: Research on Bakoni ruins of South Africa debunks colonial perceptions of primitivism   8 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Stan Mrak

    There are way too many of these stone circles in South Africa to conclude that they were cattle kraal. Estimates range as high as 10,000,000 of them. The larger ones have as many as a million and a half stones in just one, each stone weighing 20-50 lbs. each, stones that had to be carried a long way sometimes. If you really want to know what they really were used for, look up Micheal Tellinger's lectures on YouTube.

    I am a firm believer in the veracity of the Bible and of it's ultimate author, God. I agree with you, concerning your statement that science definitely speaks to the existence of God, and i think that this is an excellent approach with those that fancy themselves to be unbiased and rational believers in science. i would urge you to consider pointing to other kinds of evidence before pointing to eucharist miracles. I am not convinced of the veracity of those particular miracles, but i am convinced of certain universally accepted scientific facts that force the consideration of a created universe. to me this is a great starting point. if we can get a committed atheist to consider the fact that available scientific evidence points to creation over curly naturalistic causes, we can build on that. good lines of thought concerning evidence for creation are: Abiogenesis, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, irreducible complexity, etc.

  • Reply to: Initial DNA analysis of Paracas elongated skull released – with incredible results   8 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Eduard

    How is the result of a blind genetic test a "speculation.

    Is it because the Paracas skulls have mtDNA with mutations and to be unknown in any human, primate, or animal? I suppose that is scary stuff for those who are afraid to look under their own bed for a missing sock.

    The same paranoia was seen with the Homo Floresiensis claiming it was merely a microcephalic anomaly. The Paracas skull size itself presents some evidence that these people were indeed different.

  • Reply to: Extensive Ancient Underground Networks Discovered Throughout Europe   8 years 3 months ago

    I have heard it postulated that, at one time in Earth's history, the atmosphere contained a "water blanket", consisting of an immense amount of water which shielded the earth from large amounts of radiation. This blanket would also have had the effect of distributing the Sun's heating effect evenly between the poles, resulting in a very mild climate over all the Earth. If this theory were true, it may have been possible that this "water blanket" was destroyed by some collision or near miss and could account for such a large change in the depth of the sea.

    In a 17th century medical book I read a physician thought he saw better results using bark from the tulip poplar to treat malaria.
