Ancient religious texts have tried to explain natural phenomena in the form of mythology and legends since before written language. The manna described in this legends is trying to explain a natural event that used to happen in that region of the desert during that time. Star Jelly. Much like attributing other unexplainable phenomena of that time such as rain to divinity, star jelly was seen as manna from heaven since it came from the sky. Not knowing what it was for a people unwilling to accept that some things were beyond their scientific understanding was unacceptable, so religion filled the gap with blind faith in a divine mythological reason. Personally, if someone ever did eat it, it would be rather deplorable and frankly disgusting. I would shutter at the thought of its taste, I was never a fan of caviar.
I agree with you Pete, just look at Kiera Knightly. Over bites dont always have to be a bad thing and does not need to be corrected unless its a really bad one that will affect the child as they are growing
The peopling of the americas is not a open and shut case, pre clovis and pre pre clovis is evident, the technology expressed in meso america and south america are much more advanced than in the northern latitudes. the story is not well understood. 30K artifacts in a Mexican cave speak to this false narritive. Additionally, in the amazon, the folks are related to native Australians and Melanesians. the story is not complete, we will fill in the missing pieces as we go, the beringia narritive is valid, one of the many waves of folks peopling the americas, however the folks from beringia is probably the last wave rather than the first wave, i think the earliest people came by boat, kayak and sailed the coasts and rivers. Most archaeological sites are underwater from the rise in sea levels, it is a story which will add many more chapters until it is written, it is only a matter of time before we find denisovian and neandrithal remains in the americas. sorry for the mis spells, no spell check on this.
Blood chemistry, alleles tell the story of human migration and of late, European “migration” into the Americas. Europeans initially migrated into their now respective countries in waves and eventually lost their melanine during the winter months. Indigenous South, Central and North America, see blood allele chemistry have UNIQUE DNA and they did not migrate from the land bridge, the lastest try to support that theory now say they boated along the coastline, the “boat people theory”. Consensus have the Olmec as the root civilzation of Mesoamerica and they seriously look African! Just check the #Olmec on this site. North American Indians aka Mayans migrated onto the plains, e.g., Iroquois Confederacy have Mayan DNA and were introducing agriculture (corn-beans-squash) to the hunter-gather tribes to the North, when the modern record starts, e.g., Cahokia. Oral and recorded history the “Navajo” are in fact Tli Cho Indians from Northern Canada. This strongly indicates, Africans are indeed the originators on both continents. The Moche culture in Peru also have unique alleles. WRT Asia & eastern Europe, DNA and allele evidence clearly demonstrate migrantion from the Tibetan Plateau, i.e., Mughars, Aryans, Saphafids, Chinese. In summary, Gondwanians evolved separately from a common root, imho.http://www.bloodbook.com/world-abo.html
If you are interested in early contact, search ‘”magna fuente” on here, and see about a stone bowl from S. America. Also, I have read (don’t recall where) that when Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce was captured, a clay tablet with cueniform writing was confiscated from him that he claimed had been passed on to him by his ancestors..
There must certainly been much contact before Columbus, just too many proofs.
Shopping at Whole Food's, or Sprout's Ezekiel Bread plain or Cinnamon Raisin advertised on The Bread Bag then once at Whole Food's mom bought Manna bread; it was round shape baked in to a circle.
The bread was soft an sweet; to be honest in comparison, there's a Chinese sweet bread that some time's custard is on The inside of it while another version of that same Roll has dried coconut within it.
The manna bread at Whole Food's was so good to eat.
I realized however, that this manna was made by human hand's so I knew the manna in The Bible; an people's manna, were two very distinct food item's.
I was about I'll say 9 or 10 year's old an while at Church read a pamphlet about of course The Son's of God (Angel's), remember, I was 9 or 10 so I'm remembering this vaguely the pamphlet was discussing The Manna sent by God for His Chosen People.
It did mention that the manna is Harvested by the Angel's in Heaven. Apparently, They plant the seeds' for Manna to grow in Heaven an when it came time to harvest the manna the Angel's ate what they had gathered.
Since The Israelites were God's Chosen People The Lord bestowed the gift of The Manna which is the Food of The Angel's on to His People. That's odd I just remember something from The Ancient Greek Stories.
Food of the gods Ambrosia; I'm wondering, if the Ambrosia & an Manna were one an The same. All of the Ancient Stories passed down by our Ancient Ancestor's reference Food of the gods.
I do remember Ambrosia as the Food was called would often in other stories and language's identified by a whole other name.
The Bible says Manna then as far I'm concern It is Manna.
Well until next discussion Everyone, this where I end Goodbye!

We have Manna in Australia. The Manna gum, when it flowers, is absolutely covered with a thick white material,it looks like icing on a cake. And we're talking of trees 40- 60 ft in height. Apparently it tastes like honey
The birds go nuts over it...
Responding to Alicia Mc Dermott’s questions in her post, “Debating the Destruction of Tikal Temple 33” at the great Mayan City in Guatemala.
Only after they destructed Tikal Temple 33, did William RCoe’s archaeological team realize Tikal Temple 33 was a funeral Monument.
For that reason, it is NOT only a Temple but a sacred Funeral Monument built in honor of the fifth century King in the great Mayan City. In my mind that sacred structure ought to be called Tikal Funeral Monument 33. In the case of a psychological reaction, there is a great difference between the words “Temple” and “Funeral Monument”. No matter, all ancient structures must be respected equally. The actions of William R. Coe had shown how he had manipulated us all. How awful!
However, we have to consider a fateful fact … … Had the Guatemalan Cultural Authorities rejected William R. Coe’s request, that sacred Tikal Funeral Monument would never be destructed.
It is devastatingly sad to realize that William Coe’s archaeological team did NOT dismantle as carefully as they claimed they would. Not only that but they arrogantly failed to restore that sacred dismantled Tikal Funeral monument. For 57 years, the decision to destruct that sacred Tikal Funeral monument in 1964 has affected horribly upon (2+-) generations of people who are grieving over the devastating decision to destruct that sacred Tikal structure. And they still debate whether the discoveries were worth destructing that sacred Tikal structure.
Personally, because it was never restored in 1964, the discoveries were NOT at all worth destroying that sacred Tikal structure!
Because the sacred Tikal Funeral Monument was never restored, an archaeological team must never be trusted to investigate an irreversible archaeological site since we don’t know what is the ulterior motive of an archaeological team, unfortunately.
Ultimately, there are far too many sacred funeral monuments being destructed all over the world.
Finally, yes, I firmly support the best practice is to leave all irreversible archaeological sites untouched.
Discoveries worth a small sacrifice - not destruction
I think some small sacrifices have to be made it cannot be helped, but not to that extent though. When great discoveries are made, like in the excavations of the Egyptian pyramids to unlock their secrets, it was inevitable that we must take the opportunity to dig a little deeper into the past. If we were not prepared to do that. Then were not going to get a true overall picture of the people, their ancient culture & customs. then in effect we are merely scratching the surface, with what we already know so far, leaving us with more unanswered questions than answered ones, which intern raises our level of uncertainty around what facts we already know, leaving our interpretations of the whole truth to all manner of theories. As we have seen from some so-called experts, which mostly consist of fiction leading to speculation at best, to fill in the blanks, instead of reel tangible accessible results that we can rely on.
It would be akin to reading a great novel, shutting the book half way through, and putting it back on the shelf to gather dust. What would be the point of that, when the big reveal may be just within our reach, in our grasp. In doing nothing, we’ve learnt nothing, were none the wiser, why would we repress and deny ourselves the endless possibilities of what still lies undiscovered, in this case entombed in the past, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Not to proceed any further with caution in our future exploratory investigations.
Archaeologists’ decision to dismantle Tikal Temple 33, - “Desecration”
But also at the same time, learning from the case of Tikal Temple 33, and similar cases, looking back we should have been more mindful of our responsibility’s first and foremost, in conducting ourselves in a more professional manner in doing the excavations to a high standard, “in that things should have been put back to how they were in the first place”, because if we don’t do that, were desecrating that countries and other countries ancient cultural shrines to their dead, and that’s disrespectful. We have no right, we’re not Toom Raiders, that’s not who we are, we are in the Archaeological business whose code and conduct First and foremost is in conservation.
Archaeological sites - That should be left untouched but Destruction not acceptable
I also tend to agree with people from religious War torn countries if it’s the will of that nation of people / government etc, that we do not trespass on their ancient sites, then so be it, we have to respect their wishes, but at the same time it’s also sad when a country and its people demonstrate a blatant disregard and a total lack of concern and common sense in not preserving their heritage, and instead commit senseless wilful damage and destruction of the ancient monuments etc from there past, when there’s basically no need for it really, what’s so ever, I think that’s probably the biggest travesty of all. at least we as educated intelligent archaeologists should at least know better, “well you would like to think so, wouldn’t you”???
Although this is a website for Archaeology, I’m going to go off-topic here and reply to your comment, sir. Have you thought about coming off oxycodone and trying cannabis? I, too, have a very bad back injury and I’ve refused to take opioids, but I have tried and currently use a very small amount of cannabis to help with the pain. It’s done wonders for me and sent me on a spiritual journey I could never have predicted. Please, do yourself a favor and don’t give up. Give cannabis tinctures and flower a try. It helps so many people in your position. Good luck.
First this article makes me want too visit ytube an look up History Channel's History of Sex from The Ancient World to the present.
Second I found this article intriguing on the History of Impotence an The Medical Science behind studying the subsequent treatment for the mysterious malay.
I vaguely recall that either National Geographic or The Science channel when I could get the Science Channel the story of a guy... actually, it might have been an miscellaneous chanbel, I can't remember the network.
The story related is that a guys girlfriend came by with groceries while assisting her with putting away the groceries something bit Him. It was quite painful but he soon forgot all about that bite.
He got intimate with girlfriend intimacy complete he noticed his body hadn't changed so he enjoyed more intimacy with girlfriend an well He wound up dropping dead from Heart attack.
Autopsy revealed that a Brazilian Spider bite was the cause of his Death. Apparently, while putting groceries up a Brazilian Spider had been in the bunch of bananas an bit the unfortunate guy.
The entomologist explain this specific Brazilian Spider had chemical component's within its venom that prolongs erections.
If one isn't aware they've been bitten by this type of South American spider then it's venom brings on a Heart attack an The person dies like the man would die.
That was a complete surprise to hear an see that then again this is the Rainforest so maybe we shouldn't be too taken aback with the Brazilian Spider.
Why did I bring up what happened to the guy with the Spider Bite?
Because, I wondered if pharmaceutical co.'s were conducting research on that particular specie of Spider. Figured it be added to the list of thing's used to cure Impotence Spider Venom.
I am curious how this being an example of Man controlling his destiny because their seeking Impotence help for Impotence?
Well I'm going say this and what I'm going to is the whole truth. I'm 58 year old male , and in my 20's , 30's and 40's until the age of 50 years old , I never had a problem at all when it came to sex , erection , never had any problems at all , I enjoyed sex as much as the nexted male or female, and then I had a very bad injury on my back and had an operation on it and that was great for 8 years then 9 years ago at 49 , 50 years old I never had any problems at all with an erection , then nearly at the age of 51 , the specialist put me on Oxycodone at first 20mg and over the last 8 years it went up to 80mg due to the pain on my back , spasms down the legs , numbness from the waist down and then they also put me on 5mg of Endone 6 times a day to top up the 80mg of Oxycodone , and with those medications I notice my erections were getting less and less till at the age of 55 years old I can honestly say I've made love to my wife once in 3 years even then I wasn't hard , so I went to my doctor he said it was nothing to worry about , now at 58 years old my wife has left me because I couldn't make love to get and took everything my daughter, my heart , my soul because of being impotent . People say life goes on well sex is a big part in man and women lives , and when you try to get help for impotence and the doctor don't give a shit and then you try to work out the problem yourself but it to late as you lost everything you love in your life because of impotence , honestly why keep going on , you have nothing now so for me because of the time I'm in unbearable pain with my back , being impotent, useless as a man , as a person and you have to give for life anymore, so what the point in going on living anymore, and with the day I lost the last thing because of my ex wife in what she did just to get our daughter was so wrong and now due to being impotent was the reason she left and after I finish writing this , I will be gone because no woman on this planet want a man who can not please her . If you put this up it up to admin , but my life is finished now , thanks for all your stories over the years ...
This is a fantastic tool! I can use it to check if there are any archaeological sites near me on a daily basis!
Although I have noticed that there are some sites I know that aren't on the map. I guess it'll be continually updated.
The only reference to Dr Ralegh Radford examining the supposedly giant bones from Glastonbury Abbey in 1962/3 comes from Roy Norvill's 1979 book, Giants: The Vanished Race of Mighty Men. Where he got that from I have no idea, as Dr Ralegh Radford never wrote or published anything about this supposed examination. Despite the fact that the notes on his 1951 to 1964 excavations at Glastonbury Abbey are freely available, and make no mention of any giant bones.
You can access his comprehensive notes here> https://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/glastonbury_ahrc_2014...
I find myself paying attention more readily to the Books of the https://biblegateway.com now. before it was just words on a page that were hard or repetative through each book & chapter. Vse. numbers were great for putting highlights from said Holy Book(s) to the transfer cards with 80 spaces back in the Qobal days. Now we set a timer (sic) and can listen to the entire Bible without getting up. Max does a wonderful job reading. The book of Ezekiel comes to mind Eric Von Danaagen does wonders with an astrophysiscist whose name escapes me now as a 70 year old. Both the Spacecraft & the launch platform with a Book on each one by God Almighty and my Mystery author. UAPs are fun. Saw one in ther sixties from ‘East Point GA.3rd Army HQ. (‘62)’ but it wasn’t close enough to call it an event of the first kind.(Speilberg)
The ground penetrating radar idea is cute but in 1964 was science fiction – as you pointed out. If the temple was not disassembled in a manner to allow reconstruction then some very stupid people were running the show. Not all professors have the best interest in mind – too many only care about their own self interest.
Conozco el lugar por haber estado 2 veces en e lmismo y haberme alojado en el parque en la posada Jungle Lodge. Con rerspecto al tema de opinion, me parece muy lamentable se hayan usado aun en 1964, tecnicas tan agresivas sin haber previsto enumerar los bloques o como dice muy bien JRO1940 usar radares de penetracion terrestre que yoy si contamos, pero se podia haber previsto la posterior reconstruccion. A mi me parece ha habido algun grado de connivencia entre las autoridades guatemaltecas y la Universidad en no concluir con la reconstruccion. Es muy triste y se deberia haber exigido la misma.

Hi All,
Shopping at Whole Food's, or Sprout's Ezekiel Bread plain or Cinnamon Raisin advertised on The Bread Bag then once at Whole Food's mom bought Manna bread; it was round shape baked in to a circle.
The bread was soft an sweet; to be honest in comparison, there's a Chinese sweet bread that some time's custard is on The inside of it while another version of that same Roll has dried coconut within it.
The manna bread at Whole Food's was so good to eat.
I realized however, that this manna was made by human hand's so I knew the manna in The Bible; an people's manna, were two very distinct food item's.
I was about I'll say 9 or 10 year's old an while at Church read a pamphlet about of course The Son's of God (Angel's), remember, I was 9 or 10 so I'm remembering this vaguely the pamphlet was discussing The Manna sent by God for His Chosen People.
It did mention that the manna is Harvested by the Angel's in Heaven. Apparently, They plant the seeds' for Manna to grow in Heaven an when it came time to harvest the manna the Angel's ate what they had gathered.
Since The Israelites were God's Chosen People The Lord bestowed the gift of The Manna which is the Food of The Angel's on to His People. That's odd I just remember something from The Ancient Greek Stories.

Well I'm going say this and what I'm going to is the whole truth. I'm 58 year old male , and in my 20's , 30's and 40's until the age of 50 years old , I never had a problem at all when it came to sex , erection , never had any problems at all , I enjoyed sex as much as the nexted male or female, and then I had a very bad injury on my back and had an operation on it and that was great for 8 years then 9 years ago at 49 , 50 years old I never had any problems at all with an erection , then nearly at the age of 51 , the specialist put me on Oxycodone at first 20mg and over the last 8 years it went up to 80mg due to the pain on my back , spasms down the legs , numbness from the waist down and then they also put me on 5mg of Endone 6 times a day to top up the 80mg of Oxycodone , and with those medications I notice my erections were getting less and less till at the age of 55 years old I can honestly say I've made love to my wife once in 3 years even then I wasn't hard , so I went to my doctor he said it was nothing to worry about , now at 58 years old my wife has left me because I couldn't make love to get and took everything my daughter, my heart , my soul because of being impotent . People say life goes on well sex is a big part in man and women lives , and when you try to get help for impotence and the doctor don't give a shit and then you try to work out the problem yourself but it to late as you lost everything you love in your life because of impotence , honestly why keep going on , you have nothing now so for me because of the time I'm in unbearable pain with my back , being impotent, useless as a man , as a person and you have to give for life anymore, so what the point in going on living anymore, and with the day I lost the last thing because of my ex wife in what she did just to get our daughter was so wrong and now due to being impotent was the reason she left and after I finish writing this , I will be gone because no woman on this planet want a man who can not please her . If you put this up it up to admin , but my life is finished now , thanks for all your stories over the years ...
This is a fantastic tool! I can use it to check if there are any archaeological sites near me on a daily basis!
Although I have noticed that there are some sites I know that aren't on the map. I guess it'll be continually updated.
The only reference to Dr Ralegh Radford examining the supposedly giant bones from Glastonbury Abbey in 1962/3 comes from Roy Norvill's 1979 book, Giants: The Vanished Race of Mighty Men. Where he got that from I have no idea, as Dr Ralegh Radford never wrote or published anything about this supposed examination. Despite the fact that the notes on his 1951 to 1964 excavations at Glastonbury Abbey are freely available, and make no mention of any giant bones.

I find myself paying attention more readily to the Books of the https://biblegateway.com now. before it was just words on a page that were hard or repetative through each book & chapter. Vse. numbers were great for putting highlights from said Holy Book(s) to the transfer cards with 80 spaces back in the Qobal days. Now we set a timer (sic) and can listen to the entire Bible without getting up. Max does a wonderful job reading. The book of Ezekiel comes to mind Eric Von Danaagen does wonders with an astrophysiscist whose name escapes me now as a 70 year old. Both the Spacecraft & the launch platform with a Book on each one by God Almighty and my Mystery author. UAPs are fun. Saw one in ther sixties from ‘East Point GA.3rd Army HQ. (‘62)’ but it wasn’t close enough to call it an event of the first kind.(Speilberg)
The ground penetrating radar idea is cute but in 1964 was science fiction – as you pointed out. If the temple was not disassembled in a manner to allow reconstruction then some very stupid people were running the show. Not all professors have the best interest in mind – too many only care about their own self interest.
Conozco el lugar por haber estado 2 veces en e lmismo y haberme alojado en el parque en la posada Jungle Lodge. Con rerspecto al tema de opinion, me parece muy lamentable se hayan usado aun en 1964, tecnicas tan agresivas sin haber previsto enumerar los bloques o como dice muy bien JRO1940 usar radares de penetracion terrestre que yoy si contamos, pero se podia haber previsto la posterior reconstruccion. A mi me parece ha habido algun grado de connivencia entre las autoridades guatemaltecas y la Universidad en no concluir con la reconstruccion. Es muy triste y se deberia haber exigido la misma.
