  • Reply to: King Arthur’s Glastonbury Grave: The Greatest Hoax of the 12th Century   3 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Caesar A. Mendez

    This is a good story of  Medieval Counter-PR. Henry II who helped cause the death of Thomas Beckett & deeply disliked by his Welsh subjects decided to “discover” the grave of a mythical ‘King’ who’s existance is yet to be proven.  Well it didn't work.  As for King Arthur’s grave exhumation & reburial; if they did ‘discover’ & rebury some bones, I wonder who it really was? A Saxon King maybe? Personaly I would love to the existance of Arthur to be proven without a doubt but I've resigned myself that this prospect is unlikely to happen.

    Arthur was likely a title more than an individual given its similarity in name to  the Celtic/Welsh name for bear (Arth) and its association with leadership in the North.  If one takes all the Arthurian legends in chronilogical order and overlays them with actual known history it does fit quite nicely (albeit with a few fictional tales mixed in).  There could be AN King Arthur buried in Glastonbury even if it wasn’t the first King Arthur who was able to rally the tribes of Briton against the Saxons.

    Hi Chris , I just reviewed a number of Comments on the subject & noticed you have a couple noteworthy Replies , indeed the archealogy in the US is stifled with the Smithsonioan’s ’ only from Colombus on ‘  but , the trends are increasingly moving towards ‘ WE WANT TO KNOW MORE ‘ (!) , The Smithsonian’s attitude , not surprisingly is also following this , but the seem ‘ institutionally sluggish ‘ . I’ve read some information that was told by fishermen in the Chesapeake , that in the early morning hours as the fishermen moved their boats out to the traps & so on , that a boat was out already & , dumping what appeared to be bones into the water . My guess is the institution was ‘enforcing’ their policy , Disgraceful actions by a publically funded body – a coverup of essential history . The institution , when it established its American Archealogy Dept  , made John Wesley Powell the head ; a man who’s claim to fame was that he had navigated the Grand Canyon’s river system – that’s it . From that point on , whatever discoveries of monuments , gravesights , and such , were officlally quashed , This , I beleive , in view of ‘official policies ‘ also determining the welfare – or exterminatiion of the tribes here , the same as England’s shabby treatment of any ‘ Tribe ‘ the Crown deemed as ‘lower & unworthy’ of representation or way of life . One would expect ‘ the new world ‘ to have offered more , but it’s taken a long time for any actual education to be ‘unearthed’ ! Here’s to Enlightenment & upholding of Truth in Archeaology ! Thanks for your inputs ! Mike ( A Scot/Dane/French/Cherokee & All - American “ Heinie “ ! )

    Hi Charles,

    Kush is mentioned in Genesis he's the first born son of Ham followed by his 3 brother's...

    Mizriam-Egypt
    Phut-Libya
    Canaan-Father of Canaanites
    As for Kush-Ethiopia

    There is a History Book if interested (don't get mad reading it)
    The Black Biblical Heritage is Sort of an Encyclopedia of who's who in The Bible. The front Book Jacket should depict two men.

    One Man is sitting on his Throne; He would be a Pharoah because of the Egyptian headdress on his head, another stands before Him, drawing something in the dirt with a Stick also wearing an Egyptian Head dress.

    One could find This history book on Amazon although, I'm not certain if the Scythians are depicted on the page's.

    I do promise King's English is not found in This Bible History Book.

    Quick suggestion about King's English however you might not be interested but, practice reading thee and thou, Ye, by reading Anna Sewell's famous horse story Black Beauty.

    She was Quaker.

    Thought you maybe interested in the history Bible Book, that I mentioned. See you around Charles an until next time, Goodbye!

    Hi Zucchini,   Well your ancestrial history appears to be very similar to mine,which started back in Northeast Louisiana, in the much smaller Madison Parish, instead of the second largest city in the state known as Shreveport?  Most of my childhood and school years were in the South,but by age 18 yrs old my mother moved to Las Vegas after a marriage that should have never happened.  Since I could not remain with my mother because of her alcoholic husband, I had to move to California where I eventually finished HS, community college, as well as earn Bachelors and Masters degrees at CSULB  in southern California.  So all of my Adult life had been in California before moving to SE Asia.  I am not so much a Biblical reader because i don’t understand  “OLD ENGLISH”, or even “MIDDLE ENGLISH” with all of the ‘Thous’s”, “Shalt Nots”,and “Say unto thee” ha ha ha.  So i simply stick to ancient History, and particularly, ANCIENT AFRICAN HISTORY, that involves not only history on the continent such as the Kushites, Axumites, Punt (Somalia), Egyptian/Nubia, BUT ALSO AFRICAN HISTORY OUTSIDE OF AFRICA, which I tend to have debating discussions about ancient Africans in ancient Chaldea, Colchis, Minoan (Crete island civilization).  Being from originally from the South where INFERIOR EDUCATION was taught to Black students in segregated and “unequal” school environments, I DEVELOPED THIS DEEP DESIRE TO LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, AS WELL AS IN THE BIBLE, FROM FROM A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS FROM ANCIENT AND PRESENT DAY HISTORIANS, SUCH AS HERODOTUS, DIODORUS SICULUS, J.A. ROGERS, AUTHOR OF “NATURE KNOWS NO COLOR LINE”. Being from a racist Louisiana environment, I ser out to find the truth about Black people in ancient times, and whether or not Black people had no ancient history until white folks plucked us out of the naked African jungles and taught us everything ha ha ha?????  I guess that is why I subscribe to this site to research and compare what I have already learned from my many researches, and simply analyze what is the truth to me….ciao

    They are not Sumerians, they are Andites. According to the Urantia Book, they made their way to South America by island hopping over the Pacific Islands from Japan.

    Hi Charles,

    Not too get off subject here but, your from Louisiana?

    I'm asking because I've got family cousins mostly living in Shreveport I think some others in New Orleans.

    The family history my grandma and family with the exception to the one's who remained in Shreveport, and New Orleans; moved after WWII during the Second Great Migration of African American's too California, only my mom and then myself were born in California.

    Okay away from homegrown family history too the Scythians it would make sense Cyrus undertaking the task; story goes the night of an drunken feast thrown by Beltshazzer and a hundred of his guest....

    Cyrus the Great flew into a rage because his favorite War Horse drowned in the Euphrates River. Cyrus summoned his Engineer's and the Engineering Corp of The Persian Army under Cyrus (remember the Medes was apart of this Battle), in one night drained the Euphrates.

    The Medo-Persian Army once the River was thoroughly drained then proceeded too crawl under the gate an invaded The Babylonian Empire through that way.

    Again I stress the phrase "story goes", since the draining the Euphrates River happened then I can see Cyrus chasing off the Scythians.

    Still there is another argument one tends too refrain from considering Today's Civilization wasn't present when the Scythians lived long ago.

    Which, of us can truly say whether, it did or didn't happen the way other Civilizations testified about the Scythians that interacted with The Nomadic People.

    As I've stressed in my case I solely believe in what The Bible teaches about The Scythians and Gideon in Judges.

    I definitely feel I've exhausted myself on this Subject so until next time, Charles I'll just say Goodbye!

    The Scythians should be renamed the “Scattians” because they always “Scat” while being chased from civilized settled areas where they committed what we would consider today to be criminal acts?  The word “SCAT” was used back in my southern northeast Louisiana town whenever we became angry at someone during a fight, and they began to run away, then we would say to them as they were running, “SCAT YOU LITTLE RAT” ha ha ha..I think that it was the Persian King name Cyrus or some other Persian King who personally rode on a horse with his soldiers and supposedly chased the Scythians at least 500 miles away from the Caucasus area into eastern Europa, and it was stated that they  never returned back to the area.  That was probably when they decided to settle down and take up farming in Ukraine?

    I would be very surprised if they were transported live. Wild Macaws have a very specific diet of Brazil nuts. Brazil nuts are toxic to Mcaws & they need to eat clay to balance this. I think they were carried as sacred deceased objects. It there any evidence they were alive at their destination?

  • Reply to: Author Details Institutionalized Murder and Violence in Ancient Rome   3 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    Where Rome is concerned, staid historians, writers, ultra-conservative politicians and political commentators etc almost invariably speak of them as 'civilised'.

    This is fuelled by a wholesale swallowing of Roman propaganda that belittles the 'uncivilised barbarians', whereby such propaganda is viewed mistakenly as truthful history.

    Even Roman technological advances are routinely overstated. Arriving at an earliest known date for such an advancement that coincides with the Roman Empire or occurs on Roman territory may, at times, merely mean that a pre-dating occurrence has not been found. It does not necessarily prove an absence of an earlier presence elsewhere, especially given the relative paucity of pre-Roman archaeological or written evidence concerning many aspects of life. The Roman footprint is so large as to bury much of what little there was to find.

    In short, it is common in some circles to ignore the manifest evidence for the barbarity of the Romans themselves, and focus on the bits that such circles prefer to talk about.

    The reverse is also true, whereby academics of the political hard left, who have become legion, attempt to rewrite the historical record of indigenous peoples, for example, in relation to subjects like government, law and technological advancement, with excessive zeal.

    The common-sense middle-ground is now a wasteland. History is littered with politics, as is the study of it.

    Indeed, if one is an arch-consevative, fawning over the best of Roman history is for you. If, however, one is a neo-Marxist, one may find a niche in the study of pre-Colonial Australia and how the British Empire was always brutish.

    It is good to see something that bucks that trend. History is meant to be both true and not false, rather than cherry-picked elements which best suit a desired narrative.

    Hi Zucchini,      Thanks again for that additional information regarding the ancient Scythians and their Nomadic lifestyle, and eventual agricultural life in Ukraine until their utimate demise off the planet.  It was a very good read..

    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hi All,

    I've asked this question on a previous article but, I'll ask it again How Many Bermuda Triangles are there?

    I was aware of The Bermuda Triangle in the Caribbean and for the longest time I thought it was the only one; then I saw a documentary possibly on the Discovery Channel or The History Channel about A Bermuda Triangle in Alaska.

    So this appears to be a third Bermuda Triangle which begs the question how many Bermuda Triangles are there?

    That's all I'm wondering about so until next time Everyone, Goodbye!

    Mr. Ash, It is indisputable the British Museum has taken EXCELLENT care of the Elgin Marbles. That was not in question. As an anthropologist, I believe it is time they go back to Greece where its people, especially the children, who cannot afford to travel to your museum can see their ancient history. It is only through knowing and understanding our past that we are able to fully know and understand who “we” are. 

    Being a very distant relation to the royals prior to George, I bear high regard for the Royals, for Britains institutions and structures. Farbeit for me to counter accuse anyone’s country of the very thing caused by British colonialism in not just America but in other countries as well.

    The United States has made amazing moral and ethical strides in how it handles and stores artificacts. The Native American Graves and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) provides all grave goods in museums be returned to the tribes of origion when possible. And, when Native American artifacts are found at a construction site, etc., a Native American Tribal representative must be called to the site for inspection and the identification of said artifacts and possible grave goods. 

    Perhaps you should learn about our archaeological rules and get to know who we really are before you make generalizations. And, it would be nice to discuss the Elgin Marbles rather than discuss your personal feelings about Americans. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

    Hi Charles,

    Glad to know you liked my response although I do know this here article mentions new evidence suggesting that wasn't the way of the Scythians believe me if I hadn't read The Bible Book Judges with the involvement of Gideon going to War against The Scythians, I might have accepted what the article had to say about The Scythians.

    However in this case I will always believe (as the church often says) on the Word of God first and last what it says instead.

    I think with the Scythians it was a matter of habit also I have a feeling the Scythians may have been somehow ancestors of Abraham or Cousins to Abraham because Shem would be their Fore-father since they show up in Genesis having slaughtered Rephalim Giant's as well.

    Why do I believe that Scythians could also be Abraham's Children?

    In Genesis chapter 25; Abraham gets married again after the death of Sarah.

    The third wife's name is Keturah she winds up giving birth too Six Son's. The first three of them, I can not to save my life pronounce but the baby sons I can an they are...

    Midan-Father of The Midianites
    They don't show up in The Bible again till Exodus, Numbers, an Judges.

    Median- Father of The Medes
    They aren't heard from in The Bible till 2nd Samuel King David, Daniel/Queen Esther, & Nehemiah.

    Shah-Father of the Persians
    In The Bible A single Persian is mentioned by Isaiah 300 years before He's born King Cyrus he's an great-grandson of Abraham.

    The Persians aren't mentioned again till Daniel and Queen Esther followed by Nehemiah why?

    The Medes & Persians United as one better known as the Medo-Persian Empire.

    They created a Law of the Medes & Persians that could never be changed, however, what King's could do as the example of Queen Esther is add to the Law.

    According to Genesis an another Bible Book Jubilees Abraham provided his Son's Provisions and Supplies then sent them Eastward away from Isaac who would inherit the Promise Land not the Six Son's. The six had to find their own way.

    His Children would probably have been absorbed into other Nations further East where they wound up settling down this would include The Scythians.

    Do to God's promise to Abraham regarding his ancestors he didn't allow The Scythians to be completely destroyed. Although, from archeological evidence, it seems they must have died out, eventually.

    Upon The Scythians giving up their Nomadic style of living for an agriculture society instead they seem to have a restful period for a little living in The Ukraine till they inexplicably died off for some unknown factor.

    That's all I wanted to share with you Charles so until next time, Goodbye!
