    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"?

    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 5 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.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for the straight-to-the-point comment. The fact is that this world is stranger than anyone can imagine.

    "The people of Caral suspended their houses in baskets filled with stones that dissipated earth movement and prevented collapse."

    Say what?

    I've made an attempt at trying to find more information regarding this statement. But, haven't come across anything with a quick search.

    Any suggestions as to where I might look? Thanks!

    [...] Also even if there are good matured aliens you can bet there are not so nice ones. So why is it we never see any effects of the latter?

    Good bet. If anyone is interested in the "not so nice ones" please contact me.

  • Reply to: Historians claim to have tracked down remains of Vlad the Impaler   8 years 5 months ago
    Comment Author: BogdanEu

    This might be true as he went to Rome to see The Pope who at that time was Catholic. He promised he would leave his religion in order to wipe out the vermin of muslim invaders if only he would give him reinforcements, an army huge as Ottoman Empire to lead it against them.The Pope refused, probably betrayed by Catholics, by boyars, by Habsurgic Empire, and now by Pope. The whole Europe was at stake with inaction of these, Vlad The Impaler knew them, better than anyone. The whole Europe will see in these days the real face of muslim mind in their society!

    Another theory I'd heard and found interesting was that the story was an Alchemical allegory - that the dwarves represented various elements or chemicals, etc.
