    Well, yes and no. Saying that he was German would be incorrect, however, saying that he was Germanic would not be incorrect. I apologize if this across as rude, I truly am.

    I haven’t read any of his books, but based on his reputation, speeches, and examples of his findings, I’d say Cremo is meticulous in his research and keeps any speculation regarding his findings practically under lock and key.  He also gives a wide berth to his personal beliefs when dealing with academia, presenting distilled facts from which others are left to draw their own conclusions.

    Yes, sorry bigots, persons who would fall under the classification of transgender have existed for many thousands of years. But there is another possible explanation for this warrior. Could she also not have had Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, which means her phenotype was female but that she had xy chromosomes? Apart from trans people existing, Intersex persons have also always existed. Just a thought.

    Have trouble taking anyone seriously when a Google search of their name brings up 'people also searched for David Childress'... Although he looks a little more serious (about himself at least) than the imbiciles on Ancient Aliens, who are obviously now only in it for the money and struggle not to laugh as they present yet another bottom of the barrel theory!

    Tsurugi-

    I’m surprised you didn’t mention Michael Cremo’s research.  I assume you are fimiliar with it.

    @StuartN

    Err....no? Perhaps you should read my post again. I said nothing about plate tectonics, or ancient advanced civilizations, or dinosaurs, or any of that. I said roots can and do grow inside man-made pipes, I have seen this myself. The end.

    However, seeing as how you've responded so energetically to my post--albeit not to anything I actually said in that post--I feel I should reply in turn to yours(though I hope you'll forgive me for sticking to the actual content of your post; I'm afraid I lack your imagination).

    Fossil beds can span tens of millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of years. Other times they record a single frozen instant; these are usually the result of some catastrophic event.
    All of known human history where we have been advanced enough to build things has spanned no more than 10-12k years, a tiny, miniscule blip in comparison to deep geological time in which we find fossils of dinosaurs, etc. Advancement comes quickly, and unless it lasts millions of years, has far less a chance to become specially preserved like some of the life of earlier epochs.

    Still, perhaps the evidence is out there somewhere, still waiting to be found...? Perhaps some of it has already been found, but went unrecognized for what it was. Who knows?

    Plate tectonics is the last thing I would think of as causing the obliteration of possible previous advanced cultures. Large impacts from space would be my guess. Such an event would destroy a civilization, but would possibly preserve some of it as well. But the preserved bits would have to eventually end up being exposed on the surface for us to have found it, unless we found it completely by chance in a mine or something. They may be there, but buried under miles of basaltic lava or sediment from tidal waves.

    I am not claiming any of this is true, I am just saying it is by no meams out of the realm of possibility. Absence of evidence, and so on. :)

    +1 for sarcasm. Cheers!

    But that’s the claim, which you agree is false, therefore, it’s a fake artifact.

    No, it means that claim is false.

    For the shroud to be a fake, it would have to have been made specifically to fool people into thinking it was something it is not.

    People used to think dinosaur bones were evidence of giant humans. That claim was eventually shown to be false. Did that make the dinosaur bones "fake"?

  • Reply to: Orbs in Space: An Unconventional Phenomenon, and the Tether Experiment   8 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: Donald F Saunde...

    I remember using an old pentax K-1000 with a flash. If conditions were right (High Humidity or High Atmospheric Particle Count) it was possible to reproduce the orbs. Yes digital camera's seem to be adept at photographing Orbs. Probably why so many photo's are posted showing them. Another thing all camera's have a problem with is lens flair especially if taking photo's facing the Sun or another light source.

    Well, Tesla advocated AC and Edison wanted DC, but otherwise I agree with you on the whole Tesla/Edison issue.

    As for Columbus, calling him a capitalist is stretching it a bit, seeing as how he worked for a totalitarian monarchy hundreds of years before the concepts of free enterprise and free market capitalism took hold.

    The reason I said "as usual" is because people who don't know the actual definition of capitalism and thus don't know the definition of a capitalist, but instead define them as "evil", "greedy", "exploitative", etc., will almost invariably incorrectly label big-government interests as "capitalist". Sort of like you did with Columbus.

    “….Yet archeologists and anthropologists believed she was not only female - and a pig-tailed teenager - but a member of an elite corps….”

    Amazing what archeologists and anthropologists can come up with when they just want to sweeten the pot.  

    Okay, so give HER a haircut and let’s see what HE looks like! Simple.

    "I don't think the amount of ice in an area establishes temperatures."

    I think it does, when the difference is ice 2 miles thick vs no ice at all.
    Even so, it isn't just geological data(lack of glacial scarring) that indicates Siberia was somehow temperate. Mammoths and other ice age mammals have been found frozen in Siberian tundra with many different species of flowering plants in their stomachs--flowering plants that do not grow in arctic conditions.

    "New DNA analysis indicates unequivocally that the remains were male and not female."

    That seems like quite strong evidence to me.

    I'm not seeing any actual proof in this article that this female Pazyryk was actually male. Usually one can tell just by looking at the width of the pelvis if a mummy/skeleton is female or not. There are other burials of high status Pazyryk women with similar goods.

  • Reply to: Enigmatic Symbols and Carvings in Man-Made Royston Cave   8 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: HeatherMoore

    Well with all the stylized hearts, swords, & crosses (especially on pelvic regions), I doubt this was originally an Augustinian storehouse with all the female figures portrayed, unless the monks were allowed to marry, which is highly unusual/unlikely for a monastic order. With all the crowns, women in dresses, & men with swords perhaps it does depict a royal/religious family. Could be some secretive Templars preserving their family history or recording who they were serving. Because of the clothes & symbols depicted, I agree that these carved images can be no older than the so-called dark ages or early middle ages of English history.

    Not much to wake up to, really- Hitler was a superstitious, drug-addicted hypocrite in love with the sound of his own voice, a one-balled, pompous windsock of a man who had a bunch of people killed by others, slept through D-Day, destroyed his country, stigmatized his countrymen for years... and went out like a punk when he was about to get caught. Some leader.

    Maybe you're the one who needs to revisit school.

    Hello JustJudyg, if you want more information, you could get in touch with The International Union of Architects who met recently at the UNESCO World Heritage Site to present information about the accomplishments at Caral, including their building of earthquake resistant houses.

    This design is steller! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
    my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job.

    I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

    Members of the modern British monarchy might be described as calcified drones, yet when compared to the repugnant types given high status in the US by the media...wealthy industrialists, sleazy Hollywood elites and profane former government officials unable to tell the truth even in matters of life and death...the Royals have a soothing class absent in our country.

    No they look more white because they rub ash on themselves.
    They devote themselves to Shiva the destroyer, so they live on a cremation ground.
    Those ashes are from dead bodies.
