    You forgot to tell the rest of that little story, the two kids out late, snuck up and saw rocks floating...then the towns people asked “ Well what did he use? “ kids reply “ Icecream cones. “

    You may have missed the main part of this Enigma,

    that being he cut eavery pice from the land, so he cut, lifted, moved, & placed eaverything there twice.

    Oh just one other thing Ed was a small man, and pullies take a lot of work.

    These Venus statuettes are a PERFECT depiction of the pygmy aboriginals of Asia - such as the Andaman Island negritos - google "Jarawa women" and you'll see what I mean. They are a perfect depiction of Asian "negritos".

    It’s true old world Scandinavian travellers reached the eastern Atlantic shores of North America - but their presence into the eastern woodlands of Ontario, Canada, around the time of the glyph’s creation, and 1,600 miles away, have never been verified.

    Just because an image in a rock panel is showing similar characteristics to another rock panel halfway around the world, doesn’t mean there is any connection to either group of original artists.

    Similar images of “squatting man” or “praying man” are observed on every continent excluding Antarctica, but that doesn’t mean its image was the sole creation of one society.

    To attribute the creation at Peterborough’s  Kinomaagewaabkonging , “Teaching Rocks” to early Scandinavian travellers just because they both appear to have similar boats in their petroglyphs, you might as well speculate that it was the ancient North Americans who created the Scandinavian “boat” images before they, headed out for North America!

    Or maybe it was the earlier people of ancient Azerbaijan (Beyukdash Mountain, Gobustan, Azerbaijan), who back in 12,000 – 8,000 made similar styled “boats” in their glyphs … you might as well credit them with travelling to Scandinavia where they created the rock art there.

    By the way, the type of “boat” depicted in the Canadian glyph has never been associated with the indigenous people of this Canadian petroglyph.

    Attributing a Scandinavian connection to these glyphs reveals a colossal misunderstanding of the artistic and spiritual relationships the ancient indigenous people of the Peterborough area recorded in their rock panel.

    Hi, what was the name of the book the map was shown in? :) I would like to buy a copy of it.

    LOL at "broader perspective", more like "pick and choose my facts perspective." Climate change has been happening ever since the earth developed an atmosphere. But mostly over long periods of time, ever heard of geologic time scales, you twit-made heretic? Human-made climate change gave us the warmest year on record, which statistical analysis virtually proves is our doing and not some once-in-eons fluke that we just happen to be around to observe.
    If you truly believe what you espouse, go start your car, close the garage and STAY in your car. Cuz, you know, greenhouse gases in a closed system have no effect.

    P.S. Evolution is fact, too. (no longer a theory) and that IS magical
    This is a great website when not everything is attributed to aliens, superhumans or divine intervention.

    Alcohol's ability to extract the oils of herbs as a solvent and preserve them as well. make it the perfect base for medicine, as a carrier for sure but as a medicine itself? Maybe not...

    Maybe they just used them to clean the stalls of their livestock; exactly as people that live on farms and keep animals in barns do today. Straw and poop, that endless task... Less mystic perhaps, but more necessary and they appear well suited to the task.

  • Reply to: The Sumerian King List Reveals the Origin of Mesopotamian Kingship   8 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: akinchana dasa

    I haven't read all the comments here so someone might have already pointed out that such lists involving long age spans also occur in ancient Indian literatures. In Indian thought ( as well as some other cultures, e,g, Native American), there are four distinct ages to a cycle of the universe: satya-yuga (people lived an average of 100,000 years), treta-yuga (an average lifespan of 10,000 years), dvarpara-yuga (1000 years) and the present kali-yuga (100 years). Each yuga or eon includes a 'sandhi' or conjunction/transition from one age to the next, which would account for the sudden decrease in longevity of life observed in Biblical/Sumerian accounts, e.g. the conjunction between our present age of kali and the prior dvarpara-yuga. Although I don't wish to comment in detail presently, the different lengths of these yugas are intertwined with specific measurement systems and astronomical configurations of the ancient Indian/Vedic culture (and probably those of other cultures at that time).

    Further, Mount Sumeru is an important cosmological/geographical feature of Vedic culture and, as the ancient Sumerians were engaged in trade with the ancient Indians, it would not be surprising that the name 'Sumer' is derived from 'Mount Sumeru', the world mountain.

    Perhaps Edward Leedskalnin's Coral Castle's enigma is in plain sight for all to see, leaving parts of the information as evidence. He used a chain and pulley-block system to lift the massive stones, the same types used in industry. He carried out his construction work at nighttime when everyone else was asleep, as he did not want anyone to see his operations.

    So even Hunter gatherers found uses for astronomy in their hunting seasons. This connection should go to show that astronomy, has been a focus on a lot of religion s because. An accurate clock is what allows a person to control the agricultural part of their environment.

    That is a really awesome find. To me it looks like a cross between a course thread bold and a pillar. Almost like something I would find on a set of woodworking clamps or on a pipe cutting machine.

    This is all true stuff, I wish my comments would get past the spam blocker. I think Neanderthals were an amazing group.

    This is really a cool find. Because it is in the neighborhood of Babylon and the Sumerian empire. doing casting requires a mold. I wonder if the original mold was a standard concave cuneiform style, that when casted in silver the silver piece became convex lettering.

    Could the loss of DNA over the years be contributed to the way humans control their environment, for example if a human gives natural birth it is usually done in a hospital. An animal can give. Birth usually without the help of anyone else. And humans also have trouble eating raw meat compared to domesticated pets.

    It is simply wrong interpretation of the ancient language. The word meant a day and not a year. Assuming that their year consisted of 360 days we get the following result.

    After the kingdom descended from heaven the kingship was in eridug. In Eridug , Alulim became king; he ruled for 80 years. Alaljar ruled for 100 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 1809 years.

    The early list names eight kings with a total of 241,200 (bout 726) years from the time when kingship “descended from heaven” to the time when "the Flood" swept over the land and once more "the kingship was lowered from heaven" after the Flood.
