  • Reply to: The Feet and Hands of Homo Naledi were Similar to those of Modern Humans – Could this be the Evolutionary Link Paleontologists Were Waiting for?   2 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: BLOCKED-USER-346

    Need to get back to studying the variation between modern races if we are to conclude anything about our past.  

    Why do they always seem to ignore the critical discussion on finger and toe nails?

    Ah, my Beloved , fill the Cup that clears
    Today of past Regrets and future Fears-
    Tomorrow ? – Why, Tomorrow I may be Myself with Yesterday’s Sev’n Thousand years.
     
    Lo ! some we loved the loveliest and best
    That  Time and Fate of all their Vintage prest,
    Have drunk their Cup a Round or two before ,
    And one by one crept silently to Rest.
     
    And we, that now make merry in the Room
    They left, and Summer dresses in new Bloom,
    Ourselves must we beneath the Couch of Earth
    Descend, ourselves to make a Couch – for whom?
     
    Ah make the most of what we may spend ,
    Before we too into the Dust descend;
    Dust into Dust, and under Dust, to lie,
    Sans Wine sans Song , sans Singer, and – sans   End ! …

  • Reply to: The Enigma of Prehistoric Skulls with Bullet-Like Holes   2 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: DavidS

    The most likely explaination for these holes in the skulls, is that they were hit by a high velocity projectile such as sling shoot bullet. In the hands of a trained prefessional (i.e. a Roman Soldier) the momentum/penetrating power of a sling bullet can reach that of a 9mm parbellum pistol bullet – this is more than enough to do the damage outlined (parameters 60 to 70 m/s and a 70 to 80 gram lead for the sling bullet, 330m/s and 7.8 grams for the pistol bullet). The other option (as listed above) is a high power long bow or cross bow – these also have increadable mementum/penetrating power.

    "enabled hunters to run in forests and jungles chasing fast moving prey"
    Very, very funny!
    A fast moving animal can move at least three times the speed of a human. So chasing it is a waste of time.

    Cinderella's shoes were not "magical"

    Please provide references to the DNA studies of the 6000 BC mummies and or the 1961 Black knight discovery. As is typical in articles of this nature the references provided in the text are not about the actual statements

  • Reply to: The Nephilim: Kings of an Epic Age: Secrets and Enigmas of the Sumerians and Akkadians   2 years 4 months ago

    Hi All,

    Happy New Year Everybody!

    I only found out about The Gigantic Nephilim's from descriptive narrative of Enoch through A&E's Mysteries of The Bible which aired from 1995-1998; & by the History Channel's Banned Book's of The Bible which aired in 1998

    My response first hearing this was this is supposed to be about The Bible not Greek Mythology an wrote Enoch off.

    Was I ever wrong looking back my response to Enoch is mirrored like one Jesus own disciple Diyamos Thomas.

    Hearing of the Ressurection from his fellow Apostles in Christ Thomas refused to believe it.

    See Jesus had forewarned his Disciple's that many would come in His name declaring I AM He and Do not believe Them because if So would be able too Deceive the very Elect.
    Jesus instructed his Apostles too be shrewd as Serpent's.

    Thomas remembered all of his our Teacher's warnings that's why he refused to believe that The Ressurection had ever happened. It wasn't till Thomas touched Jesus with his own hands that He Could Believe.

    That's how it was with me and Enoch I too remembered that The Bible through Jesus warned of False Prophet's both Apostle Paul/Peter warned Believers about False Teacher's an so I figured that they could deceive one with words they could certainly do it with the written Word too.

    An like Diyamos Thomas I felt a strong impression telling me it's okay Enoch is Real.

    I'm still a fledgling in learning all there is about Enoch. I've read and study the quote stories of The Ancient World; classified by Philosopher's/Scholars as Mythology.
    Enoch literally plugs up the gaps in those stories.

    Through Enoch I've been able too learn that Mt. Olympus exists. Through Enoch there is an Elysian Field's & Tartarus through the Ancient Writing's by the Egyptian's there exist 12,000 Hells I can tell you there might be one surrounding Earth itself but, those Hells is out in The Universe.

    Through The Book's of Enoch I know the Nephilim's are in fact The Nephilims Cronus/The Giant's of The Norse Stories and yes their Fallen Angel Father's are imprisoned in Tartarus in chain's possibly under a Mountain.

    Through The Book's of Enoch I've Seen the Creator for in The Books of Enoch He interacts quite a bit with The Ancient of Day's; in his testimony. I experienced the same sensation whenever I read Book of Number's.

    Moses request of God too see Him, I'm very Visual person whenever I read something from The Bible.

    As I've said I'm a fledgling with what I am learning about The Nephilims an this Book sounds like a good read.

    The question that I have is there anyway too read this Subject of The Nephilims in Sumeria as a E-Book with Ancient Origins?

    Until next discussion Everyone, here at Ancient Origins, just want too say Goodbye!

    In fact the more I think of it you don't need clunky machines. That would speak to the paradox theory. I often go back to sorcery as means of technology. Think of time travel or time more like a spell that you have to break in order to travel.

    The concept of time is like a cipher or puzzle. All the terminology reads like some sort of anagram. For instance all of its integrals add up to 666
    60 secs 60 mins 24hr. Also the terms allude to bondage. Ti me, C Lock & "Watch" wouldn't be surprised if the inventors of the terms were adepts in the concept of time travel. There's lots more...have fun.

    If these people get offended over a silly poem, we need to warn them to avoid the ruins of Pompeii at all cost! People who get offended easily are intellectually and emotionally weak.

    One wonders what will happen when these people are one day faced with reality. The Taliban, for example. There are many others out there in the real world, and for such students and professors, the horrors of the real world will surely send them over the edge.

  • Reply to: UK University Censors “Domestic Violence” in Ancient Greek Poem   2 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: elrotto

    As a woman unconcerned with Semonides opinion of me, I think the poem offers a lot of attractive options.  You can be anything you want to be, from a fat hairy sow to a goofy old ape.  

    While reading the actual poem, it struck me that maybe what he was writing about were totems related to earlier mantrilneal lines.  He picked insulting characteristics of the totems as part of the effort to diminish their standing as they were being replaced by a patrilineal order.  Just a random thought.

    And censorship is bad and stupid whether it comes from people associated with the right, left, or anything else.  Everyone needs to stop buying into ridiculous caricatures and stereotypes about people on “the other side”.  

    College students have always been virtue signaling and self important.  It is a stage of development, they are supposed to want to destroy the status quo.  But now they have been given the power to get people fired, and those people have huge student loan debt, so they have to be proactive.  They are kind of trapped at this point.
