    Fascinating. These remains are obviously some kind of deposit of rubbish, although that was not entirely clear in this article. As with any new technic, time will tell more. It's fascinating what people did and ate. Why and how too. The huge stone buildings are the obvious draw, but to fully understand, the microscopic details give a larger picture. For instance, the high amount of charcoal, or 'coal' in this deposit is very suspicious. Is it simply a rubbish pit where fire pit refuse was added, or was the refuse burned? Or both, and why. Is it because they intentionally mixed this to compost for soil amendments? It did take a lot of food to provide for the many people who were nessary to build this place. How much was brought here? And how much was grown here? Why did they disappear? Was it deseise, war, or paracites? These answers may be found with a microscopic veiw. I just hope investigation continues and discoveries are not hidden for political reasons. Free open non-adgenda science must always be pursued.

    1) There's some evidence that some druids and went north
    2)Nexus doesn't mean what you think it means
    3) As pointed out, the Romans were usually tolerant of religions, however they hated human sacrifice, whether symbolic or rare. And no, Romans didn't sacrifice humans the example given was a political event, not religious.

    So, Joanna why are you still using April now that you have come out?

    May I humbly enquire as to exact scientific method used to determine that this happened (approximately) 3800 years ago.

    I have substantial and irrefutable evidence of human beings eating vegetable matter! Can you believe this, I am sceptical.

    Tall tales of historical embellishment aside, I'm apt to keep an open mind on this.

    An interesting read and not for the first time have I come across such tales. Can horses be cannibals, and with ill intent? Yes, of course, imo. Circumstance, era, treatment, or lack of, necessity, rogue elements, free will and personality, groupthink, etc, all apply to horses as much as they do humans.

    Whatever the arguments for and against are, I think it's pretty obvious that past cultures of ancient knowledge are lost to us. And that all knowledge didn't just pop up in Greece or northern Europe in our recent memory. Ancient Europeans clearly had engineering knowledge, as did African, South American and Asian peoples. More accurately what we would now call these people and places. There may well have been far fewer boundaries and more sharing of knowledge across continents than there is now.

    I've been a horseshoer for 50yrs. I did see a horse pick up a dead black bird flip it up and swallow it whole. Icelandic horses brought to that island survived for centuries on a steady diet of fish heads and guts left over from fishermen.
    As for killing a goat and devouring it, a herd no less, I call BS. I have a couple of horses pastured with goats. They show no interest in goats. I also find the mythology of Alexander's horse Busephlous, just that. Mythology. Same for the Japanese man-eater. The sport of 'Dressage' is a left over from medieval military training of horses. The Spanish Riding School was famous for the highest schooling of horses for war. In it's famous manuvers the horse was used as a weapon. In the Capriol for instance, horse and rider would leap straight up in the air then kick out with it's hind legs. The intent was to decapitate infantry wearing heavy iron helmets. The original idea of chariots was to trample infantry too. So mythology of man-eater horses is a propaganda pipe dream.

  • Reply to: Jewish-styled Alexander Legends Found on Silver Bowl from Tibet   2 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Robert105

    Setting aside the circumcision issue, could the left-hand figure in the top illustration be Chandragupta I, who claimed to have met Alexander when Chandragupta was mid-teen age, admired him, and who went on to conquer India? Is this a depiction of their meeting? The left-hand figure seems clearly Not to be Alexander – it does not even remotely resemble him.

    The weight stated (weight of 250 drachms (4.43 to 4.55 grams)) is ambiguous; each drachm is ~4.43 grams, thus the bowl probably weighs about 1100 grams, or somewhat over 39 ounces if the 250 drachm weight stated is correct. The dimension ‘21 centimeters (8 inches) in diameter around the rim’ should read ‘across the rim’.

    What charming ancient art! The hubris of UNESCO needs to go away. These locals like locals everywhere respect and value their stone monuments. The problem is, they act all benevolent like in everyone's interest and get the power to control access in order to protect. Soon locals have no rights to access. They are the United Nations, the agency of world domination. The authors of Adgenda 21, 2030, 2050. The political science adgeda of global warming. And have their own military. The only thing they should be benevolently doing is returning stolen artifacts to countries of origin.

    Thank you for such an informative article regarding Roswell.  I never knew so many military officials had publicly disclosed that Roswell was an alien craft and alien bodies were recovered! 

    I also had been left to believe from a few online sources that "Alien Autopsy" had been debunked, but perhaps not! 

    I went to another favorite website,  archive . org. 

    There are hundreds if not thousands of books there that can be accessed for free!  "The Day After Roswell" is there.  

    Again, thank you for this awesome article!

    I completely disagree with this view.  The Olympians are most certainly not dead. There are still those of us who worship Them. The Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid are the most beautiful and moving books ever written in the west.  They beat the bible handsdown.

    ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS. Wars cannot be waged without debt. The stranglehold of debt servitude is the cause of inflation. The profit of war is limited to the spoils, except for the banksters, who profit regardless of the victor. In the case when no spoils are managed, especially if reconstruction is needed, debt soars to unpayable heights. The NWO is bankrupt now. It finds itself in the same boat Hitler found himself in Germany at the end of WW1. Destroyed and in debt. He reversed this situation in a short few years by expelling the banksters, reniging on payments, and implementing social reforms. He started a new fiat currency, put citizens to work building homes and businesses, giving credits to families to have children. Rebuilt the industrial complex and again waged war against his former banksters. And nearly was successful. If his personal hatred for his former ideology foe Lenin hadn't gotten in the way, he easily could have run over Britain. Kinda makes one wonder if that's what E.Harriman& Brown of NYC had in mind by financing Germany again. The stolen Nazi gold was never found or recovered. Or was it? Funny how the pyramid cap corporation, IG Farben was still traded on the NY exchange until very recently. All it's holdings like Audi, VW, Nestle, Bayer, Solingen, ect are still all well and good under the new pyramid cap corporation Blackrock. Needless to say, ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS.

    What I find interesting is why do so many people have the need to disrespect the wishes of the deceased as to where and how they desired to be laid to rest?

    The Roswell event happened, but things are not always as they seem. High altitude primate research with chimpanzees in pressure suits was launched from White Sands and sent aloft in a mylar balloon. Mylar was classified at the time and not known to the public. One ruptured and went down. The deflated mylar balloon appeared as a metallic disk on the ground and chimps in pressure suits gave rise to the alien angle. The cover story of “crashed weather ballon” was not far off, but the nature of the mission was misrepresented to keep it secret. This is not my theory or idea, but I believe it because it is not fantastical or magical, it is consistent with the technology and research of the period and the official cover story fits the template much better than the alien craft story.

    Seriously? 100 million years ago? Ok, I'll swallow the dating, but the sensationalism of only the leg being transported all that distance to being the only surviving part? Seems contrived to me. There are so many children who just live in dinosaur land, and are just so excited extreme experts in everything dinosaur, I can't help but think theories like this from achedemia are targeting their known fans.

    Does this article deserve reading like normal articles?

    I think not.

    The title of the article is misleading. The leg was torn off during a tsunami, not blown off with a blast like the title suggests.

    This is a monumental find and it’s mindblowing.  It’s one thing to have a theory about the dinosaur’s extinction, but it’s another thing when it turns in to fact.  I can’t wait to see the BBC documentary.  This is a WOW! find and excavation.  Thanks so much for the info.
