Caption reads: “On the right Persephone, wearing the chiton and a cloak and holding a torch, blesses Triptolemus with her left hand. Votive relief. 5th-century BC relief. National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
In fact, the image clearly shows Persephone blessing Triptolemus with her right hand!
This ancient squash belongs to the Menominee Tribe of Indians in Wisconsin. It's amazing to me how widespread this seed has traveled, and even more amazing is the fact that many people who grow it and write about it don't even know the history behind it! Our ancestors prepared for us in more ways than they know. I hope that I will also have a positive impact in the future.
This people may have suffered from life long malnutrition and may have had small bodies, but they had a lot more strength than the average modern person if one person lifted a 70 kilo block.
Most people today have trouble lifting and carrying 50 pounds, much less 154 pounds.
What makes people so cruel to each other? Patriarchy, from the patriarchal family head to the pharoah and our current masters called billionaires, not pharoahs. The mass murder of others always has profited the rich in patriarchal societies and it continues to this very day and will continue tomorrow.
Immanuel Velikosky made the Amarna letters one of the center pieces of his Ages in Chaos. He cogently argues based on linguistic and other evidence, that the generally accepted timeline of the Amarna letters misses the mark by 4 to 5 hundred years to old.
If I remember correctly, Velikovsky dates the Amarna letters at around the time of Omri and Ahab.
Velikovsky makes a convincing case, while Egyptologists make a very unconvincing case for their own timeline, based on dubious historical records, such as Manetho, a priest writing many centuries later.
Why did people all around the world build giant structures visible only from the sky?
They had to have had a very good reason, or at least very good to their minds. I have built stone walls. Even a modest stone wall running 10 feet or so takes days of hauling stones and stacking them.
Where did the stones come from? Locally? How local? 20 feet? 5 miles?
People everywhere built these megaliths.
Cyrus H. Gordon, the philologist, argued that ancient people had vast sea faring networks and that people from the Middle East and the Mediterranean made most of the Stonehenge like megaliths we find in so many places, especially islands and places close to the sea. Stonehenge lies only about 30 miles from the sea.
We have found Hebrew and other Semitic scripts in North and South America. We have found Sumerian wedge writing in South America.
And not just the Semites. The Chinese had huge navies, as did many others.
All of our beliefs about civilization beginning at Sumer amount to just that, beliefs, unsupported by the facts. Something super bad happened to the Earth and humans to wipe out all knowledge of these past achievements, including maps of Antarctica without ice.
Rediscovery takes place everywhere today. One hundred years ago archaeology mostly consisted of rich white people off for an adventure.
I think people can find evidence of ancient people almost anywhere they look. Just a few years ago, people believed the Sahara had existed for millions of years. Today we know it had abundant water and life around 5 to 6 thousand years ago.
I think I may have found some ancient rock work high in the mountains of Colorado, but it will have to wait until next summer to check it out again because of the snow. I hike a lot and noticed a few rock formations that looked man made. My photos came out poorly because of bad light in a dense forest and a bad cell phone camera, so I will go back.
This article is definitely interesting. I looked up this site on google maps and noticed that it's right next to a Roman Catholic Church. I wonder if part of the labyrinth lies underneath the church, or is connected to it in some way?
I once read that one of the reasons that the Exodus story can't be true is that in the supposed time of the Exodus 'Jewish lands' were a province of Egypt. So in a way they actually were in Egypt..........
To Albert and Yeeepppp: I am aware that the whole 'Exodus' story and Moses are concidered a myth by science today. But it's clear there is a relationship between Akhenatens' monotheism and Jewish monotheism (and Christianity for that matter). I am an atheist but I am very interested in what moves people and what are the sources of 'beliefs' of people. And since almost half of the world population still beliefs in one of the Abrahamic religions (= monotheism) I am curious what the origins of these beliefs are. So... just legit rational interests...
(And I personally don't have ANY problem with Jews by the way...)
I'm a retired X-ray Technologist who was born and raised on Maryland's Eastern Shore, and currently live in East Prairie, MO.
I fell in love with Ancient Origins as a phone app, and decided it would be a lot easier to read the articles on my computer, so I finally registered on the site. Not only is it a lot easier to read the articles, there's a lot more to offer on this website, and I'm in Archaeological heaven! I vividly remember going with my parents on weekends, to the plowed fields and shorelines on Maryland's Eastern Shore, to look for arrowheads, shark's teeth, fossils, and anything else we could find of historical value. Needless to say, this fostered within me, a lifelong love of history and Archaeology.
Finally, someone that KNOWS what they are talking about! I have no problem believing what you say. Furthermore, I beleive that "our" archeologists, and so-called "scientists" have known for years (since the beginning???) that there was a GREAT civilization that streched across the FLAT EARTH we live on today.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

I agree with your comment, I also think she was highly powerful with at least equal power to the Pharaoh himself/
The printed version of the book will be out soon.
There is definitely something strange about this Rm.
I see the kindle version on amazon, but not a printed book. I will wait for the book. anyone know anything about that?
Burial chamber? Ha ha.
Why would the hippo be considered to be the big dipper when in the sky at the north pole, Draco is in that position? Much deception in this article.

WHERE CAN YOU BUY THE SQUASH SEEDS????
Hi Starla, thanks very much for your feedback. Glad you are enjoying the site!

The Jews are like the Brian Williams of history. They insist that they were there, but the evidence points to the contrary.
