“Sprouted chickpeas, which look like sperm, were viewed as ideal for the husband's sperm production in the heady days of medieval aphrodisiacs. ( Notches)”
How did medieval people know this? The microscope wasn’t invented until around 1600. Or is the comment about sprem-shape merely a coincidence and a modern addition?
The current castle at Tintagel is 13th century, Earl Richard of Cornwall building it on this site as the site was known to be connected with the kings of the past. Durocornouio, recorded in 400 AD in the Roman Ravenna Cosmography, has been identified as Tintagel and translates as “fortress of the Cornovii or Cornish". Some of the kings who would have been associated with the citadel of Tintagel would have been, starting from the earliest: Guyvor, Tudwal, Cynvor, who may be the Cunomorus named on Fowey’s Tristan Stone (Cunomorus is a Latinised form of the Celtic name Cynvor). He could also be the man mentioned in the 9th century Breton monk Wrmonoc’s Life of St Paul Aurelian as the king Quonomorius, also called Marcus, and therefore he may also be the famous King Mark of Cornwall.
The next king, Constantine, was king when the monk Gildas wrote around 540 AD. He castigated five contemporary British (Celtic) kings and called Constantine: “the tyrannical whelp of the unclean lioness of Dumnonia”. Welsh records refer to him as Custennin Gorneu (“of Cornwall”).
He was succeeded by Erbin, another name which crops up in Welsh tradition as does the name of the next king, Gerent I. He might have been the Gerent rac Deheu (“Gerent for the south”) who fought against the English at Catraeth (Catterick, Yorkshire) in 598. The next king was Cado, remembered by Geoffrey of Monmouth as Cador of Cornwall. After him come Peredur and Theudu.
The king list fizzles out at this point but we know of Gerent II, possibly Theudu’s successor. In 705, the Synod of Wessex wrote to “Gerontius Rex”, demanding that the Celtic (Columban) Church in Cornwall conform to the doctrines of Rome.
After Gerent II is a gap of 170 years before records of another Cornish king, Donyarth, recorded by the Annales Cambriae as having drowned in 878 AD. The Annales refer to him as “rex Cerniu” (“king of Cornwall”). Fifty years later, we find another one, Huwal, called by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles “king of the West Welsh”, a term exclusively used to describe the British Celts of Dumnonia and Cornwall (this was not Hywel Dda of South Wales). He was one of several kings who signed a treaty with Aethelstan of Wessex in 928 at Egmont Bridge
One would imagine these kings could have been buried near Tintagel.
Did someone say bad records? English Heritage knows all the above yet refuses to acknowledge it. EH can’t be accused of failing to live up to its name.
It's about time archeology starts to unravel the mysteries of parasites. We assume we know everything, but we do not. In fact even this article assumes humanure was used on gardening continuing the spread of paracites.. Geee? Can we finally do some real science for a change? And benifit the health of everyone yet? I do think this is step in the right direction though, as all branches of scientific inquiry should work together for a better world. This issue plagues people and animals yet today, and I find that barbaric. Are we still mental migits from lack of caring? Or are we that seriously controlled by a corporate adgeda?
Gary Moran nails it. More political science. Just trying to make evidence fit a flawed narrative. Just because we have limited evidence of human presence in ancient American continents, doesn't mean they weren't already here. Or even that they disappeared. The 'Clovis' evidence clearly shows that a high level of skill and adaptation was present at odd times, and in odd places. Clearly humans have always been exploring and wandering everywhere from the beginning. A missing link might never be found simply because there is none.
The proto-Sinaitic script that originated during the reign of Amenemhat III, apparently can be read as Hebrew, according to Rabbi Michael Shelomo Bar-Ron.
Egyptologist and scholar David Rohl has extensively researched the Serabit El Khadim inscriptions as part of his overall research into Israel in Egypt. Due to a chronological error, the Third Intermediate Period of Egypt (from the 21st through the 26th dynasties) has been artificially extended, and the 21st and 22nd dynasties actually overlapped, rather than being sequential. When this error is recognized, MANY biblical synchronisms become apparent - as Rohl has demonstrated in his books.
In chapter three of his latest book series, "Legendary Kings," Rohl explains his personal expeditions to Serabit El Khadim to document and study the inscriptions, and his dialogue with a scholarly rabbi who helped him "read" the inscriptions as Hebrew.
Rohl's theory is that the inscriptions are from Israelite work gangs in the Sinai, employed by Amenemhat III during the early "sojourn" period in Egypt. They represent an Israelite innovation to make easy written communication possible with educated but non-native Hebrews, engaged on far-flung projects for Amenemhat III.
Same old argument- not enough data, or not enough artifacts, now using a computer model to try to justify it. Hrdlika and Powell are long gone, but their predujice lives on. 23,000 year old seeds in the footprints at White Sands don’t really prove anything huh? They need to explain the mechanism that put those in place 10,000 years before the prints were made.
It has been my theory that Taxation drove the need for record keeping and was the driver of the symbols used to identify what was owed to the ruler. Cuneiform tablets were presented in rows and columns, much like how Excel is still used today by Accountants.
Sahir Pandey may have stumbled over an ancient artifact to only be interested in a sandal. Mention of a horse shoe is far more important. We assume the Romans were the first to nail metal shoes on horses, for a myriad of reasons. But so far, no Roman horseshoes have survived ! So in fact if a Roman horseshoe was found in Norway.. this would be a great discovery ! For y'all's information, horseshoes are no simple accomplishment. And each horse needs 4. And they must be replaced at 6-8 weeks. Archeologists are hilarious, how often do they stumble and step on a gem, just to get excited about a bottle cap.
Ahh, the politics of finders, keepers. Very 'proffessional' of this fella to call in the government experts. He don't get to keep none of it, but he doesn't have to spend the rest of his life in prison either. As for dating this hoard to a non- turbulent era, it's not too much of stretch to think someone was getting 'extra'. Bodyguards who pack thier wealth around with them, draw too much unwanted attention.
The more civilized we consider our selves, the more uncivilized we become. This is all disrespect of those who lived before us. Shameful that some people would want to eat mummy powder. Archeologists have a long way to go to ditch their grave robber origins.
I think. you can argue that public executions in the colloseums of prisoners of war and criminals were a form of human sacrifice as well as the gladiator fights themselves
I find it hilarious that people who believe in the cults of evolution and climate change, are the first to criticize other beliefs. In fact destroying our magnificent US Constitution, freedom to practice any religion. I don't care what you believe, but I will defend your rights. Clearly you won't
Empress Helena was an accidental tourist and had no clue of what she was doing. She fell for everything and apparently had no critical thinking skills. She identified the wrong location of Mt. Sinai and Bethlehem to start with. A piece of wood is holy? Seriously?
Let's start with the shroud as a forgery - just the depiction of a Northern European as Jesus is enough to confirm that, let alone any scientific tests. Secondly, and this is what really gets my goat, is the Roman soldier who came over and stabbed Jesus halfway through the carrying of the cross did no such thing. It defies logic, and would've been seen as defying Roman law, as well as sabotaging the carrying of the cross. So he didn't, he probably merely pricked Jesus with the point of the sword. Secondly, stabbing someone in the thorax is not going to get you cerebrospinal fluid, which is encapsulated around the spine in two tough layers that are hard enough to penetrate while doing spinal tap procedures! I now see why this Italian changed professions, because going by this article he was quite hopeless!
No amount of scientific evidence will convince non believers. Any evidence will confirm believers. I fall in this camp. To me the best evidence is the Popes will never let the real deal reside at the Vatican. Phony sinful vicars do know the power of the real Jesus. Amen.
The spear of destiny is also said to be in a museum in Austria where Hitler left it. The vicars are afraid of it too.
Sigh! Another year, another “expert” opinion about the shroud, or a piece of the cross, the ark, or the Holy Grail. Speculation, ideas, and theories, kinda like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere.

Curious why this study came out of BYU? Is there a link or reason relating to the Mormon religion?

If the Antonine Plague occurred from 160 to 190, why does the map date from 200 BC?

If we think that this is all so primitive and horrific, you should see what the medical profession does today.

If the inscriptions are in Greek, and it references a Greek holiday, maybe that’s why.
Sigh! Another year, another “expert” opinion about the shroud, or a piece of the cross, the ark, or the Holy Grail. Speculation, ideas, and theories, kinda like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but gets you nowhere.
