    Possibly the giant prehistoric ape, Gigantopiticus. The forrprint looks more like an ape than a human

    It appears this is just a marine reptile and not a dinosaur. Archaeosaurs are a group of creatures from which dinosaurs evolved, but the marine and flying reptiles are not dinosaurs. The term should not be used except for those land dwelling species which meet skeletal criteria.

    Hi All,

    The dino with the really long neck Tanystropheus that swam in water. Recently I had read on Ancient Origins an article that talked about People saw animals that hadn't yet gone extinct. In which I whole heartedly agree with 100%.

    In the 1700's a farmer spotted an odd creature on its land seemingly heading into the water farmer didn't know what type of animal it was but he took his staff and clubbed the animal to death with the staff on its head.

    After, killing the strange creature he then took its corpus and had it stuffed by a taxidermy. It had been an living Tanystropheus. By the 1700's of when this Italian Farmer saw this creature they had gotten much smaller I believe the environment had changed.

    What isn't mistaken was that long snake neck of Tanystropheus.

    I saw the bit about Tanystropheus in a documentary. It was a really good documentary. Which reminds did anyone know that in 1948, Daniel Webster Dictionary had the definition of Dragon in it's page's, which read in 1948, that Dragons were now very rare.

    It's possible Tanystropheus may have been considered a Water Dragon.

    Anyway that's all I wished to share about Tanystropheus honestly I think Dragon is easier too pronounce. So until next time, Everyone, Goodbye!

    Hadn’t thought about the inaccurate way we portray wolves. It is wonderful that we can learn about nature, and that helps us be kinder to our fellow creatures, but we still can enjoy our deep and frightening stories. Thanks very much for teaching about this cross-cultural set of stories.

  • Reply to: How King Arthur Became One of the Most Pervasive Legends of All Time   3 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Bruce Nowakowski

    Agreed.  I think the Arthurian legends were a retelling of the historical narrative from around the time of the Saxon invasion up to sometime after the Crusades.   It wasn’t about one King and his knights but rather the royal bloodline etc.  Gallahant = the St. Clair/Sinclair family tree.

    This is a fascinating article.  I have no doubt that hypoxia was involved in the expression of some of the paintings done in caves, but we must always acknowledge the fact that drugs like marijuana, cocaine and other drugs have been around and used by ancient people.  The need for a heightend state or awareness was connected with both godliness and the portal between this world and the world of creation and death.

    Comment Author: AldoZL

    Jim, I’d recommend you learn Hebrew and read attentively.  The Book of Kings (and for that matter, Ex. 16 and Num. 17) is right:  the only thing inside the Ark were the Tablets of Stone.

    Indeed, they seem to be some sort of intermediary between gods and humans, often, as in the case of the Nefilim, the children of the union between both realms. Perhaps the logic of their existence is inevitable – talking more about them on AO in June 

  • Reply to: Was Tamana a Universal Civilization of Mankind Before the Great Flood?   3 years 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Bruce Nowakowski

    I wonder how many more similar names would exist if etymological shifts were included.  Tamana =  Daemona the ancient name for demi-gods for example.  the T and D shift frequently in the Indo-European langauges probably others as well.

  • Reply to: Is Bigfoot Real? Let’s Look at Emerging Scientific Evidence   3 years 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hi All,

    Abominable Snow man, Big Foot, Snow Beast, Skunk Ape, an Yomen up around Canada I may have mis-spelled Yomen.

    These are but a few in which eyewitnesses has claimed too both see these unknown creatures but has said to have heard & smelled them that's with Big Foot and Skunk Ape in Florida.
    So either (I'm not making fun of witnesses), everybody up an used LSD or these things are out there oh and I found out about Skunk Ape from Unsolved Mysteries.

    I guess until more people continues seeing or video taping these animal's there never going to be accepted by traditional Science correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't Science supposed to be based on Nothing in Science is Impossible.

    I suppose we could keep in mind of this when thinking of Big Foot an unusual Idea about these possible encounters involving encounters with Big Foot, Loch ness monster, Lake Champy Monster, and Mokele-embembe.

    People only see these creatures when they're aren't Looking for Them. So perhaps develop a scenario that involves not expecting too Run into these things although, if still maintain keeping an Camcorder handy while Not Looking for Them.

    Though I understand from Canada's stories about Yomen or Yomel seeing them might be the last thing you'd do because Canada's Indigenous People maintain Yomels or if I'm spelling the name right, Yomens eat people.

    This is my take on Big Foot so until next time, Everyone, looking forward to more discussions on the existence of Big Foot, Goodbye!

    I did not see any dating of the bones found.  Were these recent or ancient bones? 

  • Reply to: “Accidental” Destruction of Aboriginal Stone Arrangement in Australia   3 years 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    If the farmer had been paid for protecting the site, this would not have happened.

    Payments to agricultural landholders for all conservation values would also make more sense than the trillions wasted on reducing levels of a plant food gas.

    While this destruction is appalling, so too is the nearby recent case of a single river red gum tree, just one specimen amongst millions and millions of one of the most abundant tree species on the planet. It caused the unnecessary halting of work on a major road upgrade to the tune of millions and millions all because of Indigenous and green activists and said it was much more important than even expert environmental opinion would. It should have been removed post haste and the upgrade should have continued.

    One could also mention the infamous case of the Hindmarsh Bridge in South Australia.

    To summarise, a farmer with a protected site on his land was not paid to preserve it, while a fortune was spent on protecting things which never needed protecting.

    It is not so much a change of law required, as a change of funding priorities. There are sufficient opportunities in Australia to better preserve things. What we lack is the political willpower.

  • Reply to: Native American History Destroyed In Georgia’s Track Rock Gap   3 years 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hi All,

    Georgia again huh? Unfortunately, the graffiti may not all have been an careless Act by vandals; the way things are going for Georgia will most likely see more such defacing of Ancient Sites dated Pre-Columbian.

    For now that's all I have too address this Subject, so until next time, Everyone, Goodbye!

  • Reply to: Connecting The Dots From Enoch To Sheba And Solomon   3 years 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Charles Bowles

    It is my 100% belief that the Queen of Sheba was the Ethiopian Queen Makada of Ethiopia and Yemen, and it is a fact that Yemen was simply a part of the Ethiopian empire.  There is no confusion here to me in that it would be true that since Yemen was a colony of the Ethiopian empire, that the Ethiopian Queen Makada would indeed be associated with Yemen, same as the present day queen of England is still associated with its former colonies such as with Canada, Australia, and some Caribbean Island nations, but the administration would be headquartered in England, right?   That was the same with the relationship between Ethiopia and its client state of Yemen, whereas, the administration headquarters was centered in Ethiopia on the African continent, according to documented history.   So therefore, Queen Bilquis of Yemen and the Queen Makeda of Ethiopia are indeed the same person since it is  a fact that a single Ethiopian Dynasty ruled over both ountries for more than four centuries (400+ years)..  I must have missed the part about the Ethiopian Prophet Enoch, who was the oinly prophet who walked with God...

    This is a great article. 

    The Roman furniture video had the background music so loud that I could only make out a fraction of the narration.  That’s a shame because the visual content was wonderful.

  • Reply to: Medieval Murder Victim in Scotland may have been a Pictish Royal   3 years 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Symbology

    I don’t know if this has been suggested already: the body looks as though the victim was already in a cross-legged position on the floor when he was first struck, and then fell backwards before being struck again. If this is the case, then the place he was sitting is interesting, as its shape would provide a comfortable seat. The rock-face on the left of it seems to be smoother than the  rest of the face (though not much is visible). Was this person a permanent resident there?
