  • Reply to: The Sumerian King List Reveals the Origin of Mesopotamian Kingship   8 years 7 months ago

    Mere shepherds and nomads had not he wealth to record their history, but kings and pharaohs did. But then, maybe it was politically safer to record all those things in a code.

    For example, how many Kings in England under the House of Windsor? They changed their House name for political reasons, too.

    If a King's birth name is Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David, House of Windsor, and his King name is Edward VIII, but his everyday name is David, maybe that's why the confusion between the historic, archaeologic Kings' list and the Bible.

    An amazing discovery

    Ojibway grandmothers would say to us often, as young children -

    "the days will come, during the time of 'the world turning over', that many plants and 'animals' will be found - these old and new friends will help the upright human beings to live full and complete life's, healing illness as they go"..."The 'first white brother' will find them deep in the earth and in the great waters of this world...and will chose wisely and with compassion to share it with all in need".

    Really did put much value in her 'old stories'' - until today.

    Thank you all for sharing this news, being relevant to the here and now and to this reality; introducing us all to our new 'friends'.

    be well

    but then... even the moon would not shine if the Sun had been 'covered in darkness'. That being told, the most logic (but not possible) explanation is, that on that day the Earth took a quicker spin than usually :D

    Or maybe the atmosphere was filled with some 'aerosol' that blocked direct Sun-waves, but permitted the infra red light reflecting from the moon? Can smoke do that? And are not there also infra red rays coming from the Sun, that could be seen in that case?

    Silly article, still.

    Haha. The 'smoke' 'scovered the sun' and turned the sky literally in black, but - hey - there came the moon (ok, a bit bloody coloured). That makes me think, that the greatest amount of 'smoke' filled the space between the Sun and the Moon, ha? This article is silly - or i should put it - the article is not telling the whole story, or the 'scientist' were more of 'local philosophers' than real scientists.

    Very interesting article and ideas. Whatever the truth about any ‘original’ King Arthur, I feel that the fact that the ‘legend’ has sparked so much debate and fueled the imagination of so many generations of people is a positive thing in itself, leading to much further thought and ideas.

    Many thanks for the article!

    http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/fuckebythenavele... says "fuck" has an Anglo-Saxon origin. What is the evidence that would lead to that conclusion?

  • Reply to: The Origins of Human Beings According to Ancient Sumerian Texts   8 years 7 months ago

    Richard Schiller, you replied:
    "dividing Tiamat in half is not the Milly Way dividing north galactic from south galactic. The horizon divides Tiamat the uper world of sky from lower world of earth soil ground (though that also includes Lower sky under the earth)"

    I agree that Tiamat does not divide the Milky Way in half. Tiamat represents the very contours of the southern hemisphere half Milky Way.

    Quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamat:

    “In Mesopotamian Religion (Sumerian, Assyrian, Akkadian and Babylonian), Tiamat is a primordial goddess of the ocean, mating with Abzû (the god of fresh water) to produce younger gods. She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation, depicted as a woman, she represents the beauty of the feminine, depicted as the glistening one”.

    How does this mythical interpretation fit to your planetary ideas Tiamat is a womanlike figure in the Sky? (Are you aware of the Roman naming of the planets when adopting Christianity, thus giving the ancient known 5 planets names which originally belongs to their Olympic deities of creation?)

    If the smoke and ash blocked the sun, how could they still see the moon?

    Hi Phil. It would be redundant to point out the Trappist monks lived there after whites arrived. If I edited the story to say that people would say “Obviously!”

    Are you saying Monks were here before Columbus?

    The real story is that a demon taught the anaasazi witchcraft and how to open up portals to other dimension though which the Giants came through and ate most of them. Do a little research and this is what the old timers said:

    " Exactly how much research did you do for this story?

    Like how about in 2003, when they analyzed them and found them to be organic, and found evidence of tree rings in the surrounding mountain, and concluded that they were fossilized tree roots.

    Which is why some are big, some are small, some are going to the water, some are not.

    Also there is no pyramid there, the “pipes” as you call them, or “roots” as they actually are, were found in caves, on Mount Baigong, and the only reason people refer to a pyramid, is because after they found the roots, people jumped to crazy speculation mode. They say the top of the mountain “resembles a pyramid”. Yeah, I guess it does, in the same way nearly every mountain in the world resembles a pyramid. Look it up.

    This amount of research took less time than it would have taken you to submit this article to BIN.

    Try harder next time. "

    Just dipping into forums, thought I’d say “hi” and make introduction. I’m enjoying Ancient Origins website immensely, full of fascinating articles and cutting edge discoveries and ideas. I write historical fiction focused on the ancient Mayas, and find new information in articles here. Good to be connected with this organization.

    There is no evidence at all, to connect this mention of an Arthur with the classical King Arthur. There is no description whatsoever, of Arthur's famous court.

    There are a few odd mentions of a warrior Arthur in pre-12th century texts. These, I believe, are mentions of Hercules. The birth of King Arthur is the same as Hercules, as is his twelve battles or labours. So these odd mentions of an Arthur warrior are merely Herculean hero figures.

    Cheers,
    Ralph

    You have to remember that the full spectrum of Arthurian history is not the same as you have been taught.

    The primary character in most of these manuscripts is Joseph of Arimathaea (ie: a 1st century story).

    'High History' and 'Merlin Grail' have Joseph of Arimathaea as the great uncle of Sir Perceval Galahad (ie: a 1st century story).

    'High History' and 'History of the Grail' say that the primary author of Arthurian history was Josephus Flavius (ie: a 1st century story).

    Eschenbach's 'Parzival' starts its story with the father of Sir Perceval in Babylon, and becoming a king of that region.

    'History of the Grail' has Galahad in Palmyra, and the king of Palmyra was the son of Jesus.

    This text also has St Peter as the Guardian of the Holy Grail.

    This text also demonstrates that the Gospels mention the Holy Grail.

    And so it goes on. Arthurian history is not all it seems….
