  • Reply to: English Nursery Rhymes with Unexpected and Sometimes Disturbing Historical Origins   2 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Alan C

    For the historical and anthropological record, in late 1950s Scots Irish northern Texas, we held hands in a circle per your J.W. Smith pic and sang:

    Ring around the rosies, a pocket full of posies,

    Ashes, ashes, we ALL FALL DOWN!

    Whereupon we gleefully laughed and fell down (can you imagine at our age now voluntarily falling down ??).

    Later at university in Texas, I heard it explained that it referred to “the” horrible bubonic plague in medieval England, where posies (which grew in Texas) were stuffed into pockets to mitigate the awful stench of death.

    This is fascinating interpretation of the data and I agree with you that there is no such thing as coincidence. Mankind was nearly wiped out approximately 70K BC and the evidence remains in our DNA.

    I really wish we could get some articles that correctly identify the people of Mycenae.  I think there even may be an Ancient Origins story in which the newest DNA evidence identified them as being the same as the Minoans, or Creatians, if you will.  They were just one of many city states littered about the Mediteranean and Aegean..

  • Reply to: Could the Directions of Pyramids and Sphinx Hint at Hidden Chambers?   2 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Barry Sears

    Hello Niels,
    If only one could travel back in time. I have a question or two if you dont mind please. The first is about your first picture with the stars above the pyramids. Is this an actual picture and if so what are these stars? 
    I believe that the origin of the zodiac is an ancient study of the 12 zones around the equator. The concept "as above so below" determines that if you study the World below then the energies of the sky above will be revealed. The zodiac being 12 representative anatomical positions of a full body is plotted around our zodiac belt and connects to the 12 anatomical divisions of Nut the Celestial body and connects to the 12 divisions of the Earth's body Geb. The sphinx sits in the Leo position of the Earth's body "the lung position" The Virgin Mary sits in the next zone Israel the land of Virgo, the womb position. The scale represents the midpoint and is where the Buddha balance is expressed at the next zone on the World's body. Take a few steps to the head position and you find Easter Island....

    My point being that the land of Egypt correlates to the constellation of Leo. I read that the sphinx looks towards the rising of Leo but I wonder if from the sphinx when looking back towards the pyramids, does the setting of the Leo constellation align with the apex of the pyramids. This exact viewing position would change due to astronomical changes. I have moved around google maps but this isn't night time. This fits your first picture.

    Another point I often read about is the sending of energy towards the stars from the internal compartments of the pyramids. It should be considered that the shafts and compartments are more to do with receiving the energy and power from the influential Celestial order.

  • Reply to: Pre-Columbian Murals and Norse Sagas Suggest Vikings Met the Aztecs, and the Outcome Was Not Pretty   2 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Crogonint

    I went looking for the book:
    "Probably composed soon after 1250, it has always been regarded as one of the most remarkable classical 'Sagas of Icelanders"..Eyrbyggja Saga has a complex structure in which eerie ghost-stories are interwoven with sober and realistic accounts of life in Iceland a thousand years ago. Its subtle and sophisticated narrative makes a searching examination of the internal conflicts which rapid social change arouses in any transitional society."

    UM… That sounds like an esoteric exposition on medieval life combined with some spicy ghost stories. Hardly a factual treatice on nautical journeys. I WENT looking for the book beause I fail to see how a Viking ship could “trip and fall” past Florida and the islands plastered all over the Gulf of Mexico to land on the mainland. ...but TWO of them?? NAH!! Not gonna happen. 

    Incidentally, we DO have evidence of Viking settlements spreading across North America for centuries prior.. We just haven’t found anything definitive like a Viking ship in South Dakota or some such thing. I would submit that the ‘Mississippians’ may very well have been Viking or Celtic. They sure as hell weren’t Native American. ALTHOUGH, there has been a sprinkling of evidence to suggest that Phoenicians were all over the place as well. We know they had mapped the coastline. 

    Plus, it’s HIGHLY doubtful that their ships could have survived a trans-atlantic crossing.. especially after having gotten lost. You could easily convince me that the Vikings had set up Colonies up and down the coastline, since their boats were built for coastal travel. After hop-scotching down the coastline for a year or two, THEN they could end up in Mexico.

    It also begs the question.. if the Aztec imprisoned / enslaved them.. how did a group of Vikings, lost and down on their luck in Mexico.. make it back to Scandinavia?! You’re suggesting it happened TWICE?? Come on now!

    Also, I can’t get over the little hair-bob on the white peoples head, and the fact that the’re butt naked. I’m thinking islanders. Polynesian perhaps?

    I find the idea of the Aztec leaders being black people HIGHLY intrigueing! We know from the Bible and our other very earliest written records that Africa was COVERED in advanced and noble Kingdoms. We’ve seen where many cultures were displaced by disease and plague.. I WONDER, if one of them may have followed the Phoenicians to the New World? I have never seen records of any of them having sea worthy vessels.. but it’s certainly possible!

    I think that the evidence is clear that there have been previous civilisations that were, in many ways superior to our current, perhaps in different ways but their existance, in my view, is unquestionable.

    Carole.. I want you to close your eyes and try to picture a bunch of Christian Monks running around murdering Vikings. No.. just no.

    First off, Christians don’t DO that, ISLAMIC people murder people who refuse to worship Allah. The Bible tells us to share the good news about Christ with anyone who asks about it. Nobody who undestands the Bible would EVER try to force someone to convert!!

    Second off, I seem to recall that the Kingdom directly south raided the northern kingdoms disguised as Christians. I think that is what you’re referring to. It’s been a long time since I researched it, but I think you may find that that is what really happened.

    Does anyone have a different source fo this article? After browsing around the trashy articles on Ancient Origins, I don’t want to use them as a source.

    Do you even READ your own article??

    Quote:
    “..the so-called mermaid was probably manufactured… “for export to Europe, or for spectacles in Japan.”
    ..and then..
    “Supposedly caught off the coast of Fiji, and later sold into America by Japanese sailors”
    ..followed immediately by..
    “Barnum stitched the head and body of a monkey onto the back of a fish.”

    ..Yeah, sure he did. FYI.. P.T. Barnum paid INSANE amounts of money for actual cryptozoological animals. This must have been one HELLUVA good forgery for him to have bought it and put it on display. Go read about the actual Bigfoot he purchased which was later kidnapped by government agents. ;)

    This entire article is OBVIOUSLY Islamic slander, trashy propaganda which, like all lies, won’t stand up to the light of day.

    Jesus Christ was a citizen in the Roman Empire. The Romans recorded EVERYTHING. Travel Vouchers, Bathhouse records, Court records, Merchandise and Freight movement… EVERYTHING. HELL, Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to be part of the CENSUS. 

    In the really real world..? There is more forensic evidence TODAY to prove that Jesus Christ existed than there is to prove that HITLER existed.

    So… YEAH!! This article is 100% complete and total TRASH!!

    I demand that the article be deleted immediately! What in the HELL are you thinking, allowing trash like this to be published alongside scientific articles?! PREPOSTEROUS AND INEXCUSABLE!!

    I have known a couple of people with Kleinfelters.  Nobody would have thought either one of them was anything but a man.  They were taller than average, kind of doughy, not much facial hair and had manboobs.  Without a test for it, you are just a goofy looking guy like millions of other goofy looking guys, not enough to really stand out.

    Big problem with the sailing hypothetical is that the sub polar gyre/current goes from south to north along the Canadian - Alaska coastline. I'd find it hard to believe that sailing craft of that period would be able to make way against the current!

    Occultism is directly linked to politics, they developed together. They drain human energy for power. The more blood and emotion the more energy produced the better.  It’s all about feeding the beast.  But I think the beast died and now they are desperately stuffing us down its gullet hoping they can bring it back. It’s too late, it’s rotting and the whole stupid thing is collapsing. 

    That being said, I am really looking forward to this.  I know Mr. Cowie has done actual research on occultism, I think he even had a youtube series years ago. I am hoping it has more depth than this sort of thing usually inspires.

    Located between the front paws of the Sphinx, the Dream Stele of Thutmose IV refers to the Pharaoh Chephren/Khafre/Khefren, and the face of the Sphinx sure looks like him.  The names of the historical kings were known; the Abydos Kings List in the temple of Seti I lists them. Thutmose IV was 72 on the list, Seti I, father of Rameses II was number 76. (The kings of the Amarna Period, from Akhnaten to Ay were discreetly omitted.)
