    Bees make great honey, and termites will destroy your home...

    It appears that the so-call smaller brain humans who used their intellligence to travel from Africa to many areas of the globe to such far away places as the Nicobar/Andaman islands, South Pacific, Australia, Americas, Europa, Asia etc, without the assistance of (GPS) Global Positioning System tells me that the size of the brain is not what illustrates intelligence, and that Smaller brain humans used their intelligence to aide the Big Brain humans to the evolutionary stage where we are today.  It appears that the Big Brain people of today still don’t understand how the small brain humans built pyramids, tunnels, aqueducts, Obelisks and the worlds first River dams along the Nile?  Also I wonder why was it that the so-call small brain humans out of Africa who NEVER left Africa and stayed behind, were the first to theorize in different religions in relation to God, invent paper (papyrus) and INK to write their first languages, as well as doors, locks and keys during ancient times while the ones that left AFRICA became barbaric, illiterate and incapable to create any civilized settlements farthest outside of Africa..  I have so many questions,but I will keep them to myself for now...

    I have questions too, and i like yours, Charles Bowles.  I agree, size of brain may have no impact on the ability to build pyramids, etc (look at Bees and termites), however they were built long after 1.5 million years ago...

    Very interesting.  Does this mean all humans now in Africa are descendents of hominids that left africa and then returned with a bigger brain, to wipe out the indigenous hominids?  Can this be tested genetically?

    I agree that there were civilazation before ours. They were as, if not more, advanced than we are today. Many people try to fit history into evolution by ignoring anything that does not follow the paridigm. Pole shifts can erase a lot of people, culture, and artifacts. We know they have happened before, and will again if we are honest with ourselves. Giants could have existed in another history of earth, some may have survived into our era, but not enough to propagate the species.

  • Reply to: Oxygen Deprivation Led To Altered States For Subterranean Artists   3 years 3 weeks ago

    The effects of most drugs result from more than lack of oxygen to the brain, though.  Getting high off of hypoxia is like asphyxiation or huffing.  I have never seen that lead to creative activity.  Just drooling, passing out, and splitting headaches, I assume there must be some euphoria too or nobody would do it.

    I wonder how they controlled the effects, and if there is a level where you could be euphoric for a long enough period of time to paint a mural.  It’s interesting to think about, and I am glad people are finally starting to look at the ancient history of drug use.  I believe evidence is starting to show it played a crucial role in human development.

    While I subscribe fully to the fact that the universe is a  mysterious place  and am not at all adverse to unusual ideas that are still not accepted by mainstream such as telethapy etc in terms of Giant footprints we still have to be scientific.The footprint referred to in the original post in Guizhou, China was in Granite and no being ,extraterrestrial or otherwise can leave a footprint in granite because it  forms kilometers below the earth as magma (and molten rock acceps no form) and once it reaches the surface of the earth through violent tectonic activity and revealed by weathering or other events it is solid.Sirius is not a planet ,but a class A star much hotter than our sun and about 17,000 degrees farenheight (9,500 C) with 26 x the energy of our son so NOTHING lived or lives there (and even if there were”things that could sustain endless nuclear fusions on Sirius caused by hydrogen being converted to helium they wouldn’t have feet !!!! ) ...and as “The Akashic records” (if you believe in them and I do not) are accessed only through the subconscious you should be aware of the inconsistant and unprovable nature of them .Sadly thinking a thought does not make it a fact…..

    makes the old saying, “the worst master is that of a former slave” bring true.   There was likely some sort of subconcious revenge motive towards the slaves.

    A highly methodical analysis of the Patterson-Gimlin film was undertaken by the Photek photo analysis company, which supports the authenticity of the what is still on of the best motion pictures of a bigfoot in existence.

    Having been to Peru, and having seen the variety of stonework styles and technology, it seems clear that the polygonal megalithic walls of Cusco, Sachsahuaman and many other ancient sites far preceded the Inca empire, as the Inca themselves maintained. Rather, as in Egypt, the Inca seem to have inherited and adopted the earlier work while their own masonry was nowhere as precise. This dichotomy can be viewed at many sites, such as Cusco itself, and at Machu Picchu, where the much cruder Inca stone work and buildings stand alongside megalithic works of far greater precision.

    I beg to differ with Faylinn. I have seen no studies of Roman concrete that show the presence of hair and blood. One signal difference from our concrete is that the Romans used fist-size rocks in the cement, not the pea gravel in modern mixes. They also used, according to engineer David Moore, P.E., who studied the building of the Pantheon, a dry mix placed in a box into which a small amount of water was added, with the mix pounded until the water had permeated the whole, unlike our modern water-rich, pourable mix. In addition as the upper, much thinner levels of the Pantheon dome were fabricated, the stones used were switched to pumice, retaining the concrete’s strength while making it much lighter.

    Yes Chazzone...it is a great pity to promote easily provable hoaxes when facts are always more interesting. A lot of information on this site is really interesting ,but including hoaxes which as you point out  fosters and relies upon ignorance it ,totally undermines the credibility of the entire site  . It’s like adding mud to clear water !

    No evidence of either. Other dimensions are no more than mathematical musing. The same math that says there are other dimensions also allows for a universe that is a hologram, a universe that is a computer program, and multiple universes. There is only one math that disputes all these and it uses logic and is seldom referenced because they cannot make the other mathematics work under this one mathematic’s rules. So, you can believe what you want, but when it all is said and done, you have been believing in musings by science fiction writers since Mark Twain wrote the first time travel story. The rest comes from ancient religions and the way people have interpeted the meanings of such over the last 5-6 thousand years. You cannot distinguish reality from made for TV entertainment.

     

  • Reply to: Is This the Real Reason Why Pirates Wore Eyepatches?   3 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: One-eyed Jack

    I play a character with an eye patch and the loss of depth perseption eliminates the idea of fighting in one. The only time I can see it being handy on board ship is when loading a dark hold from a sunny deck. Carrying sacks of feed doesn’t need much depth perception. My character wears one as a disguise when dealing with pirates and when actually pirating. If the enemy thinks you have a blind spot but you can see through or around the patch you have the advantage. It doesn’t hurt that when the King’s men are looking to hang the pirate “One-eyed Jack” they ignore the two eyed merchant asking for directions.

  • Reply to: The Frightening Discovery of the Mount Owen Claw   3 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: EricaC

    This story popped up on my Facebook feed today. It looked exciting, until I read it. My suspicions were triggered by the article’s mention of ‘archaeologists’ exploring the Mt Owen cave system. It’s a  cave system in a remote wilderness with no history of human settlement. I’d be very surprised if anyone except hikers and speleologists were exploring it. Articles about the discovery of these moa remains are available online and as I suspected, they were found by cavers. 

    https://www.notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_36_1.pdf

    Secondly, I can’t believe the carelessness of this line, “The first discovery of the moa occurred in 1839 when John W. Harris, a flax trader and natural history enthusiast, was given an unusual fossilized bone by a member of an indigenous Māori tribe.”

    I thought we’d got past believing a thing isn’t known or discovered until a European knows or discovers it. The Maori, of course, knew about the moa. Discounting indigenous knowledge is a surprisingly backward and ignorant mistake in an article like this, that is supposed to inform people. Does this writer have any academic background at all? 

    I found the original report on the moa bone discovery with 2 minutes of googling;  it took another minute to find an article on Maori lore surrounding the moa.

    Honestly, is all the reporting on this site so lazy?

    We know there used to be giants of the Ohio Valley and many other places. I’m curious if what we are calling Bigfoot isn’t remnants of those giants. Forced in breeding due to population decrease would have dumbed them down to primative  from what they used to be. Their aversion to humans would be well understood.

    I believe these large creatures often called big foot or sasquatch have been visiting Earth from alternate realities as long as there have been beings living here. Their presence has been report on every single continent for thousands of years and isn’t it strange no body has ever been found? This is a big hint for me they do not come from here and will never be caught because their senses are very advnaced to evade us at will. I believe they have a mission on Earth to help and not hostile or violent in any way. This is my perception of these creatures.

    The only proven early civilizations are in China, Africa, and India/Pakistan. And they were either well documented, being, documented, or need to be documented. The other so called formations amount to nothing if no signs of habitation are found, which they haven’t found. Atlantis is most suredly a civilization destroyed when Thera (now known as Santorini) erupted 3500-3600 years ago or so. Plato was mistranslated or misinformed, and since he was in no way a first hand witness, but instead, a many times over reteller of a oral legend and not a documented story, it is pretty sure to have been a Mycenaean Greece city. No other proof has been presented, just ideas.
