    To me it looks more like a dog with a human face than a sfinx.

    Which is more possible? A human coming from a human or a human coming from a dust particle. If it takes faith to believe the former, it also takes faith to believe the latter. Then, evolution is just as much a religion as creation. The Bible has withstood time & destruction contrary to popular books even of great philosophers. Many skeptics (Lee Strobel) who tried to disprove the Bible ended up becoming Christians. You can fight God all you want but where will that bring you? Better you try to sincerely seek the Truth before it's too late. May God bless you.

    to be absolutely certain it's a roman wreck they must have some kind of proof which they didn't release, the proof to absolutely convice us, surprise surprise, and the sword has no provenance in terms of photos of the people who found it in the 1980s, any idiot would find that's a roman sword and know the implications of finding it in the ocean could make him very rich on television, so i am all hoaxed out right now, but i will give them a 5% chance of giving us more clear info. The vikings traded alot with the romans even 1200 years ago so the world is smaller than it seems.

    Did you see the episode where Pulitzer brought his "cousin" and his own divers to the island? I thought Marty Lagina was going to soil himself when Pulitzer started yanking on the air hose when one of the divers got hung up in the debris. Good thing Lagina called off the dive. I called out Pulitzer on one of his claims and quoted his own statement back to him. He threatened to sue me for libel.Even sent me a cut and paste definition of the word. Ohhhh I was just quakin' in my Birkenstocks!

    Zazo...you are most likely correct. I'm of the opinion if any "treasure" actually existed on Oak Island, it was long ago recovered.

    Merlin's seductress sounds like a succubus. We may not think they are real, but I consider any one who is able to hold another in a relationship that is not good for them is an incubus or a succubus. Like the abused woman who keeps going back to the abuser because she can not break the hold he has on her. Most consider that to be a problem with the woman, but I think it has to do with a hypnotic spell as discussed in the book "The Dark Side of Cupid". There are forces of Light and of Dark in the unseen world as there are in the seen world and I think in some cases both of these different forces have been lumped into one category, just as the idea that all humans are the same when they are not.

    Although I'm convinced this is a hoax, I do have to say that bronze lasts in salt water quite a long time. Bronze is a very corrosion resistant material, as it accumulates a microscopically thin layer of oxidation and eventually copper carbonate which protects the rest of the metal, unlike iron or steel which must me oiled to prevent rust.

    That being said, bronze was replaced by iron 1000 years before the supposed age of this "site", and Romans used steel swords and iron for most other things - bronze was not a military material for the Romans. Additionally, this bronze "sword" is too short for a gladius or a typical bronze leaf-blade but 10-20 cm, so it's more of a dagger. A crappy dagger that's not even sharp. I suspect it's even tip-cast not hilt cast because it has such a fancy hilt (which would have to have been carved into stone in that shape first). Tip-cast swords are weaker and it's an early bronze age technique (3000 years ago!!!) - it allowed for fancy handles (not THAT fancy, though, as it still had to be functional when you swung it at someone's head or the likes) which were then covered in wood.

    It's entirely flat, not even sharp (bronze can actually hold a decent edge if unused for hundreds of years - but this one wasn't even sharpened to begin with), and poorly made on the blade. For "ceremonial" it's pretty poor quality.

    Also, bronze does hold up pretty well, but rarely *that* well. Most bronze blades are found in fragments.

    So, to sum it all up, this makes no sense. Why would Romans come all this way? Why would they send legionnaires (without shields if you believe the dubious pictograph) all the way across prior to any good established contact, conquer nothing, and leave a sword as old to them as they are to us? They simply wouldn't.

    True.. Proof of God then? A book isn't proof. What's stunning is that there are millions of tales worldwide of Alien visitors, yet not one of God. God didn't hand out copies of the 10 Commandments.

    Aliens? I mean, just because there is no proof that Aliens were involved, does not necessarily mean that they were not involved.

    Comment Author: the Oracle

    They were correct in realizing the timeline is off, and that forty is symbolic. It means many.

    They were right about the Egyptian Moses. He was a pharoah/high priest at Heliopolis.

    They were wrong about the rest, because they were looking in the wrong place and time for the first exodus.

  • Reply to: Khoisan people of South Africa were once the most populous humans on Earth   8 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: David Curtis

    From an analysis of my X chromosome DNA, it appears that my direct maternal line of descent goes back in time to the Kalahari (or perhaps the Drakensberg escarpment from where the Bantu drove out earlier inhabitants as evidenced by rock paintings they left behind). My known European ancestry goes to six generations in the Northern Cape - Griqualand region. I expected the "Ëve" in my family tree to be Dutch or German but the report on the DNA analysis said that the early ancestor in Africa was of a group that was statistically too small to define. In the interests of science, and for my personal interest I would be happy to collaborate with genuine researchers by contributing the data on my DNA.

    Please do not let this wackadoodle dig up our beautiful province. He is riding on Mr Blankenship and the Lagina Boys coat strings ....he is looking for his big break and money.... if you read up about J. Hutton Pulitzer or as i call him Mr. Wackadoodle....he is money hungry and just wants to exploit Nova Scotia nay way he can. He cares not for history just money. So please please please do not allow him to use Nova Scotia. Leave the shipwreck site alone let it be a grave yard like so many others around Nova Scotia.I don't see him wanting to explore the SS Atlantic site. He is just money hunger and wants fame.

  • Reply to: New discoveries redefine history of Angkor Wat   8 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: Mr. Black

    Angkor is much older than currently believed. My research indicates an age of at least 12,000 years and possibly very much more.

    This very old age is consistent with my findings for the extreme age of intelligent life on Earth, upwards of one billion years. See my black2tell blog for my research. Mr. Black.

    I dove for 5 months on a 1601 Spanish shipwreck. We recovered lots of bronze artifacts that were in great shape for being on the bottom of the ocean for 400 years. Smaller iron pieces were completely corroded away. Gold was unblemished.

    A Dutch kids program for television taught kids about some folklore about the Irish fairies. Quite entertaining. Nice article.

    I wonder if there is a metaphorical meaning to this which maybe being re visited today with the influx of Muslim refugees. The children all but completely vanishing points to the future of the town or region that may have been under attack or invasion from the ottoman empire losing it's Christian heritage(children all being born to Muslim invaders) or used like Janusaries to eliminate the previous Christian heritage of the town or region invaded by The Ottoman Muslims.

    It found off the coast of Oak Island. What makes you think it was freshwater?
