    Comment Author: ancient-origins

    Actually both are correct. The word ‘than’ is classified both as a conjunction and as a preposition, so either can be used. However, ‘than us’ is generally considered a more natural way of writing, while 'than we’ can sound a bit odd, old-fashioned and pretentious. That’s why we chose the former.

    A few years off....
    The Temple was started in 973 BC, which was 480 years after Exodus in 1453 BC.
    That was 4 years after Solomon became king, so his dates are 977 - 937 BC.

    The Ark wasn't there to be found; it is buried by the Templar descendant Prince
    Henry Sinclair in 1398 AD at Oak Island.

    It's funny how people try to sound intelligent and use big words and confusing statements to do something super simplistic. Cover up their racism. Whites will go to any extent to cover up the truth. Mankind started in the Africas. This gibberish and anybody who agrees, is simply a racist denial of the truth. Lol, mankind started with the Greeks, because an alledged skulled discovered 700k years ago. Great comedy article. I was waiting for the "April's fool" line at the end. The "intelligent" comments suffice though.

  • Reply to: The Laguna Copperplate Inscription: An Ancient Text That Changed the Perception of the History of the Philippines   8 years 5 months ago
    Comment Author: Henry Chau

    I just want to post this comment to enlighten the experts on the Laguna copperplate scripts.It's not come from the Java or ancient Indonesia island.It's an old Khmer script that scribed by an amateur on the copperplate for the ancient people that took the journey from Danang area,Khmer-Champabury, to the Philippines.I can identify all the alphabets except one that look like the heart shape that the Khmer no longer use,but I had seen it in an ancient stone Stella at Danang when I was watching youtube at the story about his holliness samdech pras sangkraj Chaun nath went to study Buddhis in Vietnam around 1930. and I also see the old writing that write _r_ subtitute before _a_ on copperplate and on the stone Stella at the Angkor thom that we no longer do write like that any more nowadays.

  • Reply to: Syphilis widespread in Central Europe even before Columbus voyage to America   8 years 5 months ago
    Comment Author: Tom Carberry

    If this study does refute the Columbian exchange theory of syphilis, does that mean Europeans brought it to the Americas, or did it exist in both places before 1492?

    If it existed in both places before 1492, what does that mean?

    And from that wiki link to the Chromy page, a bit that really contradicts the part about the Catholic Church, as a copy of the sculpture was given to Pope Benedict (himself the head of the The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith - the modern successor to the Inquisition).

    QUOTE: In 2008 she presented a model of The Cloak of Conscience[5] to Pope Benedict XVI at Saint Peters in Rome to mark the creation of the Conscience Institute.

    Comment Author: Dermot O Connor

    Jesus, lads, a bit of fact-checking. Come on now, it's not hard. The wonderful labelling of Il Separatio is contradicted in the links to the photo, which label it as the Commandetore (from a Mozart Opera), by Anna Chromy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Chromý

    QUOTE: Chromy's best-known piece is the empty coat, known as The Cloak of Conscience, Piétà or Commendatore, located in Cathedral in Salzburg, Austria, Stavovske divadlo in Prague, National Archeological Museum in Athens and elsewhere. Chromy has since transformed The Cloak into a chapel over four metres high, carved out of a block of white marble weighing 250 tons in the Cave Michelangelo in Carrara.

    This was always the vibe I got from reading about Loki, A god that may hinder or help depending on his mood.
    Or perhaps depending on which he believes you deserved.

  • Reply to: What Happened to the Sunken City of Cuba?   8 years 5 months ago
    Comment Author: UPNYTT

    I found more source related to this sunken city. I noticed Mapquest has new website format and of course, if you zoom to a certain times close to Earth, you can clearly see the city in the water. but if you zoom too close, its all blured out blue. Does not make any sense. It is similar to Google with the blur out.

    We need to research for any online Sat photos and use that. It would be helpful.

    I both do and don't want to be abducted, on one hand I would love to know for sure aliens are around and what they're doing but on the other hand some of these things sound horrible to go through.

    I love websites that take alternative views and ideas seriously, There is simply too much evidence circumstantial or otherwise to dismiss this kind of thing simply because it wasnt what you were told growing up.

    This is a history website so it reports on history not modern day social and political issues.

    The reason the death ray worked in Greece, is because the sun rays are more intense there. Hollywood cameramen have always been baffled why there light readings in the sun there register twice the brightness of California.

    The glass window looks amazing. Any information on that would be greatly appreciated.

    Comment Author: Paulo Monteiro

    alien extraterrestrial or maybe interdimensional entity in disguise was my first thought. some entities have the capability to shapeshift, so i think these children were lured by it and taken to a spaceship / portal of some kind. i think this is one of the first cases of alien abduction, too bad we dont have a written record of what really happened.

    Comment Author: John beard

    Why are you writing like that?
    It's not very readable and makes it sound like it was written by some whiskey drinkin', pickup drahvin', good ol' boay who don' no nuthin bout no templ's 'cept the ones Our Lord Jesus Christ dun make me and mah wife and s'ster, Moreeen, guh t' on t'sabbath.

    If you want what you write to be listened to and respected then stop with the cute talk.

    Y'all tek care nah!

    The Death Mask of Tut is the one of the only one's in Ancient Egypt that has loops in the ears. Men didn't wear earrings. Most likely Howard Carter got it vastly wrong when he found the chamber. They will find more riches and more clues to who is Tut really?.

    My money is on (if and when they open it, and if there is a mummy there) that it is of a young (but older than Tutankhamun) male with close genetic links to him - say, a half-brother,

Lidar of the area obe half mile in the bade of a pyramid around the remaining sphinx should reveal the secind.
