They've worked out how the pyramids were built bro, the long ramp method. What was known as the processional way is now recognised as the base of the ramp. Story headlined in between paragraphs of your story. Irony dude!
So much damage and destruction was done all over the world by the church in their drive to force their beliefs on people. And then they build monuments to celebrate cruelty and inhumane treatment? Doesn’t seem to fit with “christian” values.
In the northern lands of scandinavia. they learned to use some of the flish bladders as a form of transparent window… likely the roman othing was something similar. more like gelitan than glass as we know it.
Are you claiming that the word colony is derived from the surname Colon, or are you reporting this as a false etymology of a historian? Because it is absolute BS.
Not that we really need to go down this hole.. but it is interesting that known paracites have been detected. Just how thorough of analysis is possible is questionable. And just what difference does it really matter. Can beneficial organisms be detected? Seriously, microbiologists probably are more helpful to study current biology. There is so much we don't understand even yet. To make assumptions about ancient biology is just a 'educated' guess. Still a 'guess' based on very limited evidence. Archeologists thousands of years from now will wondering why we ingested such unhealthy substances today. Or even why we contaminated our biome with GMO's.
It should be a representation of a god linked to the death (or the father, or the clan leader) and cloth paterns at the side and back. All this in a sort of wicker basket with a lid on the top.
Sorry, but “lying pen of the scribes” (JER 8:8) re-arranged the order of events in GEN 1. The “LIGHTS/MA’OR in the heavens” were the first thing revealed/renewed and should be in verse 3. Then the sun’s LIGHT/OR was revealed/renewed (the 1st day of the MONTH). Then evening came and night followed. Then morning came, the 1ST day (of the WEEK!)… // For the corrected GEN 1 and 2, go to: http://thebiblewar.blogspot.com.
Too many “isms” for me. I would say that living beings have an innate desire for their species to survive and thrive, so they react to overcome or conquer adverse situations.
This is why we can’t always use the fossil record as irrefutable proof that an animal has gone extinct at a certain date, given how a low of a chance a body has to become a fossil in the first place. I think I read somewhere that it’s estimated that less than 1% of bodies become a fossil, or even have a chance of becoming a fossil. Didn’t we already learn this lesson with the coelacanth? I really hate the absolute cut-offs driven by standard archaeology and paeleontology. Just admit that they’re rough estimates and / or the best guesses given the evidence instead of preaching them as hard fact and irrefutable dogma. There’s always the chance the fossils do indeed exist, we just haven’t found them yet. Or we have found them but they’ve been misidentified, possibly even wrongly dated. I’m not saying there are T-Rexes still stomping around, I’m just saying that they could be a little more accepting that certain prehistoric mammals may have existed until far more recently.
That being said, this is fascinating. I’d certainly never heard of this before, even though it’s a debate that’s around 100 years old at this point. Prehistoric mammals always interest me, because they’re so rarely talked about. Even though there’s very good chances that earlier humans interacted with them. All you really hear about are the wolly mamoth and the mastadon. Maybe the saber-toothed tiger and the direwolves. Which is too bad, because a lot of them are so much more interesting.
thank you, i have an effective immune system too. here is my personal science. my PT has 5 relatives that all got 2 and 1 got 3 vaxs. she did not as she has an immune system too. all of them have had covid. 3 days feeling under the weather, my PT lost her sense of smell for 1 day. her bro now since his 2 vaxs, has chronic cardiac arrythmias, tachacardia speeding beating. i may have had covid last summer, but i am not sure. it was so smokey from all of the forest fires. if i did get covid it couldn’t penetrate all of the phlem and ash i was hawking up from all of the forest fires.
Darwins theory was that, a theory. to me natural selection is either you adapt to, or mutate in or die. desease, starvation, fires, environmental changes of any kind. be they regional, hemispherical, or global, shit happens, and we, the animals and plants, nature adapts.
excuse me but something was invented on the 4th day as you say 4th day – Late Proterozoic Eon, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: (Acknowledgement of the previous birth of the Sun, its development and purposes before the coming explosion of life in the Cambrian) it is blatantly obvious to me that the CALENDER was invented. we just ain’t figured out that paper thing. a big monkey wrench in making the “CALENDER” readable. then came the i-phone. just an observation...
The belief that Darwinism explains evolution is just a relic of the belief of gradualism. The term ‘survival of the fittest’ did not even originate with Darwin – Herbert Spencer introduced the concept. The alternate theory is/was punctuated equilibrium, the idea of Lamarkianism, or catastrophism as applied to other areas of study. Gradualism permeates human psychology due to the human tendency to fear sudden change, and can be observed in every human activity from economic forecasting (forecasts tend to be linear, until they drop off a cliff, thence to be re-forecast linearly) to biology, to the environment, to geological history, to politics. But all these beliefs are just a manifestation of human psychology imposed on the forces of nature. All evidence of history examined objectively reveals a combination of change by increment permeated by infrequent sudden and catastrophic change.
In human and other animal evolution, the internal/external pressure argument could be resolved by recognising that in the male of the species sperm is produced every day and could incorportate response to change in the world whereas female eggs are produced only once in a generation. The male participation represents response to environmental change superimposed on the stability of the female of a species. So, not an either/or but a combination, and the immune system evolves accordingly to challenge new threats, the theory proposed by Lamark. For entirely ‘de novo’ mutations, these are the result of new threats unknown to previous generations but an adapted response to past threats of biologically similar threats/diseases and these adaptations will be passed to succeeding generations, which in turn will be exposed to new threats, ad infinitum.
The current ‘scientific’/political environment proposes that the immune system is no longer relevant and that chemical concoctions are necessary to provide immunity that ‘wanes’, a silly vanity that requires a new ‘vaccine’ for every variant. Shall there be a new ‘vaccine’ for every virus or other threat that comes along? Currently, people are being injected with a vaccine for a virus that disappeared a year ago, thus variants and mutations which anyway are constantly appearing in response to their earlier defeat – by the immune system. Considering that there is an estimate that there are 380 Trillion viruses and 38 Trillion bacteria that most bodies dismiss effectively that hope is ludicrous.
A large percentage of this article contains ideas that have been debunked by historians, including Neo-Pagan historians. On the subject of Joan of Arc: English government records and dozens of eyewitness accounts show that the English government manipulated the trial, using a group of “collaborators” to convict her on deliberately false charges, while also falsifying important parts of the transcript according to eyewitnesses who were at the trial. She had previously been approved by a large group of high-ranking clergy at Poitiers in April 1429, and her conviction was later overturned in 1456 by the Chief Inquisitor, Jehan Brehal, after the English were driven out of France. The idea that she belonged to a "Diannic cult" is not even alleged by the trial transcript : it was made up by Margaret Murray based very loosely on a tree which the judge claimed was a "fairy tree" but Joan said she didn't believe in fairies. The idea that she never identified her religion is stark nonsense: the numerous quotes we have from Joan both in the transcript and in the extensive eyewitness accounts, private letters, etc, show that she bluntly and repeatedly described herself as a Catholic on numerous occasions: e.g. she sent an ultimatum to the Hussites telling them she would take part in Pope Martin V's crusade against them unless they "return to the Catholic faith and the original light"; her banner and rings had the names "Jesus" and "Mary" on them; she said several specific saints (Michael the Archangel, St. Catherine and St. Margaret) had ordered her to help Charles VII; eyewitnesses at her execution said she called out the name "Jesus" several times before she died, etc, etc. Her only link to Gilles de Rais was the fact that he was one of dozens of commanders in Charles VII's army, but none of the 15th century documents even mention the two of them speaking to each other. On the issue of the "Malleus Maleficarum" : read Neo-Pagan historian Jenny Gibbons' summary of the consensus among current historians: the various claims in the "Malleus" about its authorship and alleged acceptance by the medieval Catholic Church are refuted by the other 99% of the evidence. Its sole author, Heinrich Kramer, was neither an inquisitor (except in his own mind) nor respected by the other clergy (who viewed him as a nutcase), but the Malleus claims otherwise by alleging that all of his clerical opponents were actually his supporters (e.g. Inquisitor Jacob Sprenger banned Kramer from preaching, and certainly did not work with Kramer nor serve as a co-author of the book; the Bishop of Brixen, George Golser, shut down Kramer's attempted trial at Innsbruck and then expelled him from the city while describing him as senile; the alleged Papal decree included in the book has long been viewed by historians as a forgery since no such Papal decree actually exists; the faculty at the University of Cologne condemned the "Malleus Maleficarum" as illegal and heretical rather than supporting it, leading the Church to ban the book three years after publication; and so on). On the wider issues of witch hunting: the "eight million executions" figure is a variation of the discredited "nine million" figure that has been traced to an 18th century author who just extrapolated using arbitrary math. The figure accepted by modern historians is about 40,000 to 50,000 from 1450 to 1750 (the period when the vast majority of these prosecutions took place). Most witchcraft prosecutions were carried out by secular courts for the same reason ancient Roman (pagan) law had also banned the use of black magic (viewed as a crime, not a religious matter), as did most other law codes throughout history. In medieval Christian Europe it was likewise generally prosecuted only if people thought the alleged witch was using it for harmful purposes, and hence was prosecuted much like any other crime except with witchcraft being viewed as the "weapon" or method. The medieval Catholic Church's standard view (at least for the majority of the clergy) was that witchcraft was a superstition, not a rival religion.

Hi All,
I only have 3 question's pertaining to The Serpent god. The 1st question is it true The Plum beared Serpent could Speak?
Was this Serpent's name changed to The Morning Star & The Evening Star operating from Venus?
3rd question are there any places in Mexico where Great Lake's could be found with odd shaped Lake Monster's sculpture's somewhere nearby?
Enjoyed article so until next discussion Everyone Goodbye!

Damn right it’s not true.
I’m with you, don’t really care what they do with what’s left after my soul moves on. No reason to fret about it.
So funny this idea of a measuring device, in a child tomb. Some people have so much imagination !

The DNA data, in my opinion, is more valuable than the actual tooth. To treat our human ancestors as sacred is ridiculous.

I think that most people who do think came to the conclusion that Darwinian evolution is not true, a long time ago.
