Apearantly amphitheaters were only successful in entertaining the already affluent and lazy. It seems the Germanic barbarians were not impressed. I can't help but notice bread and circuses don't placate the masses today either. I imagine archeologists a thousand years from now getting excited digging up Hollyweird, California.
This is the perfect example of why so many like totalitarianism. It works with a thoughtful and caring tyrant. Unfortunately leaders like this are few and far between. Gen. Patton described true leadership as telling people WHAT to do, not HOW to do it. He explained you will be amazed at how creative and productive folks can be given just a little freedom and responsibility. Blessings, happy truth hunting
The intentional cover ups of evidence of giants is all post human evolution theory. Obviously it is these folks who are crushing any other competing theories. Humans are not naturally born with tails.. except maybe those promoting the missing link. Blessings, happy truth hunting
My friend, try reading the Bible. That was a commandment about not killing people. As it was, the Old Testament is brimming with stories of animal sacrifice, usually done by people who God considered friends, and their sacrifices were pleasing to God.

Chris Morgan has hit the nail squarely on the head with this article. The imbedded delightful u-tube aside, curses were most likely to prevent grave robbers. But.. that is the question. When are today's scientific archeologists simply just more grave robbers?
I love this fable! The peices of evidence and legend are as elusive as the THEORY of human evolution! One over reaching fact that modern archeology is proving is from very ancient times, humans were indeed globe trotters. And very eclectic knowledge was global in antiquity. From pyramids on every continent, to knowledge of the precession of the equinox. This conundrum can only be unraveled with scientists from all fields, astronomy, math, geology, chemists, biology, ect, ect... Example, study of blood types. Until there is freedom of achedemia globally, and the quest for political world domination is ended.. Answers will remain elusive. My personal favorite theory on Atlantis is Antarctica. Seriously though, truth, it ain't gonna happen any time soon. Blessings, happy truth hunting
I applaud all open minded inquiry of ancient evidence. The bottom line is that a main stream dominance of narrative is fascism. The marriage of government ($ ) and industry ( achedemia). Real science is creative experimental inquiry that is duplicatable and scalable. So until the rock on rock hammerers or the parabolic focused laser believers can dupicate these ancient phenomena, we must keep looking with an open mind. Though we have many new ways to determine the age of artifacts, even that is no way difinative either. In the case of ancient megathic stone structures, it's clear we can not duplicate many of them today, and it's also clear that people mainstream archeology say built them, is wrong. Blessings, happy truth hunting!
This is the kinda tale that motivated the 49ers to California and the Yukon. Beale's doesn't add up. Thirty men? Hunting buffalo? In Colorado? Early 1800's? Thousands of pounds of gold, and silver "ore" transported to Virginia? First of all, even a pair of trappers would have trouble slippin past the natives without attention. A party of 30 would have a attention getter from StLouis to Bent's Fort. And that area would be bison hunting country. The plains. There are mountains that had and still do have gold and silver ore, even gems. It would have took a large herd of horses to pack "thousands of pounds" or even 30 riders. To go 2,000 miles east to bury & hide it. A ton is 2,000lbs divided by 200lbs maximum per horse is 10horses. Plus gear, you can't live off the land with out gear( axe, shovel, tents, bedrolls, pots,pans, food, and guns), 10 more horses + 30to ride. That's 50head, but truly not realistic, 100 is more realistic for this expedition. Simply not possible to do with out attracting unwanted attention. Here's what probably really happened if indeed Beale even made the trip at all. He and a few pals found some nuggets of gold panning in Colorado. Possibly a few gems as well. Returned with a tidy 'poke', and when their wealth ran out, their imagination and creativity didn't.
I think the Aztecs raided them and took so many of them that they could not keep their settlements flourishing. I believe the Hopi either moved in or they assimilated together is more like it. There must be some reason the Hopi didn’t use the old pueblos. Maybe superstition or maybe a fear of disease passed down from generation to generation? IDK. just conjecture.
The problem with being imortal is this, As we humans age time seems to go by at a faster rate. How many times have you heard someone note how time flies when they get older. So if say you were imortal and were living forever, don’t you think that time would be going so fast you wouldn’t even notice it? The Sun would seem like a strobe light.(maybe that is why the Vampires are said not to like daytime?)
Thanks Sahir for letting us know all about these amazing new discoveries. The sands of Egypt still hold more treasures than we have found, especially from the reigns of such prolific builders as Amenhotep III and Ramesses II. The mention of Sekhmet was particularly interesting, as the presence of these statues likely indicates that there was some king of plague during the reign of Amenhotep III. This idea is explored by author Arielle P. Kozloff in her book Amenhotep III: Egypt's Radiant Pharaoh (2012).
Thanks Jo for another trip around the world and look at an amazing geological and cultural wonder! As a geo, I've always been fascinated with seeing it, but alas I can no longer touch it. Too bad, but I understand. Great pictures, and makes me want to research it more.
@slowmo Very possible. More so, when you consider the (three) wise men who visited him before he went to Egypt, after they saw signs in the heavens. Think on how the Panchen Lama was selected for example. Then look at sayings and teachings like "the kingdom of heaven is within you"; the "Gospel of Thomas", his debate with Jewish scholars in the temple when he was only 12, and his apparently pacifist life. It is very possible.
I always sort of favored the Prince Madoc to Welsh/Mandan hypothesis, but I’ve read a report that their lamguage was not really related. Now they’re just another of the tribes/cultures that have been eradicated. We are a superior civilization, after all !
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

“Meat made us human” in another grasping, shambolic study of “evolution”. What an absolute screech.

To all of my friends who are Christian: “Thou shalt not kill”
It is either comprehensive or not. It cannot be "extremely comprehensive"
Damn Americanisms.
"The assemblage of data on this study has been extremely comprehensive."

What a great discovery when we can confirm something only documented in tomb paintings. Thanks for highlighting such an important find.
