When I was living in a residential hostel in 1968 in a Midlands city in the UK, about a dozen of us would gather in the kitchen to converse. Eventually we decided to conduct our own experiment on condition thay if it started to get unpleasant we would stop. We wrote the letters out with marker pen or felt tip on the surface of the formica breakfast table, and used a cheap glass to act as a pointer. We had a pact that we would not push the glass, nor would we accuse anyone else of doing so.
The results were interesting; told us things we couldn’t have known otherwise and we found it entertaining in a fairly serious way. One girl found it a bit upsetting, but we agreed not to do it every evening. Soon after that, two women joined us. They were dark and determined. I thought teir auras were a little oppressive. They kept asking odd questions of the board that didn’t make much sense. Because they were not residents we asked them to leave, saying that they could start their own circle elsewhere. We agreed before this that we would stop because we could be targeted by people who were further along the line to the dark side. Every night we had wiped the table clean, washed the glass and put it with a dozen others, all identical. We would also say a non-denominational prayer blessing ourselves and the spirits who communicated with us. We said an additional prayer that night and the women did not attempt to return. If they had tried we would have refused to hold a session which we were no longer doing for ourselves. I knew it was dangerous if it got out of hand and fortunately we were all in agreement, Before we finished every time we thanked our spirit guide for his help.
I’m glad we did it, but a few strange things happened like one girl borrowing my cape and not returninng it. She disappeared from the hostel so I couldn’t press the matter, I thought she had just left, but I never thought she was a thief and maybe without our seances she might not have become one. It did seem that she had been the one who told the women about our seances.
It’s a long time ago, but I’m sure that she had told the Warden she was leaving. There was a good reason why we would have followed up her absence and not just ignored it.
Caucasians originated in Mesopotamia and a few modern Caucasians may have mixed heritage. Africans are a totally different group as are Asians. Bone structure and many other items show distinct differences. Caucasian's have the eyes and hair that have all the different colors and each family can have different eye and hair color within each family. A cross with the other two groups ends that variation so it should be pretty clear that the migration of that group was mostly westward and north. The idea that man evolved from apes has never been proven. Even Darwin admitted this.
Using a misreading of classic literature to maintain some form of white male dominance in contemporary society is really a desparate ‘grasping at straws’. It’s just pitiful & sad. Toxic-masculinity is just Petty Power-Grubing to hide an Insecurity Void in a that man's soul.
In many cultures War & Combat seems to demand rules of courtesy lest the conflict desend into depraved butchery which somehow defeats the goal of the conflict. And there are Heros both Mythical & Historical that try to bring some Humanity to bloody conflict. Homer’s Hector is one example of the Mythical & the semi-mythical El Cid is a historical example. It’s all quite a tight-rope to walk on & we keep falling onto the net of Beastiality.
What an amazing, beautiful find, the woman who found it must have been so thrilled. I like the fact that Mrs. Leventouris was named, and credited. In the past, sometimes the “big egos” of the lead archeologist overshadowed all, so it’s nice to see a bit of “democratisation”…...well, after all, this is Greece!
Sadly, you are right, I fear that this amazing planet is heading for total melt-down. I think our species might just manage to reach Mars……..then go extinct.
I’ve heard the idea that nuclear war could actually be weirdly beneficial to our survival, as a sort of “reset”.
In my youth, the analogy by some scientists used to be “rats fighting in a cage”. I don’t understand the politics of the situation, but I think that, in other opinions, the phrase was frowned upon, (“humans are better than that”) or scientifically contested. The phrase fell out of use.
There’s another subject, on which I’d like your comment: in the science arena, “way out” theories are sometimes dismissed out of hand by the “establishment”. The “way-out theorist” is sometimes subjected to ridicule and humiliation, before further research proves them correct. It’s a fascinating social process. If someone produced solid mathematical proof that dark matter doesn’t exist, they’d have a hard time!
I sometimes read the silly stuff in Ancient Origins, and it’s understandable why the establishment gets a bit closed-minded!
But it makes me wonder if there have been serious ideas, in the past, that were simply not pursued.

I've kind of decided not too put Old Stories in History on the shelf with the label Myth & Legends for me the lesson in my quest is working.
So the story of the Patron Saint Patrick is he drove away Snakes which is why I wondered if perhaps over the centuries behind St. Patrick's story could have been originally Lake Monster's but, somewhere it got changed too Snakes. An as the story teaches maybe St. Patrick really did drive away Snakes.
My reason for considering the possibility the Historical Narrative Changed? I've brought this Subject up before in previous articles but, I'll mention it again since the current Topic of this article is focused on a Patron Saint in Catholicism. I'll utilize it as an example.
Sometime In 1885, The American Bible Society changed The Translation of Old King James that had always been in the manner and style dating back too 1611, The King James Bible.
It seems there were 35 instances when the Old Testament referenced Dragon's & Water Dragon's inside the Scriptures.
Some Versus talked about Dragons and Owls, so in 1885, it was changed too Serpents and Ostriches, (doesn't make since Ostriches can't Fly, Owls can), going back to St. Patrick's History once more did St. Patrick perhaps drive away Lake Monster's like Champy in Lake Champlain & Nessie Loch Ness, and then much later the story switched too St. Patrick driving away Snakes?
Basically I don't think it is a Myth.
I'll stop here for now so until next time, Denis & Everyone, Goodbye!
Greetings! I wanted to ask, concerning your comment, if there are in essence TWO different seeds or flowers of life then? The newer version being used for evil intenttions and the ancient one that is not. Can you possibly provide a link to what the ancient one looked like? Thank you kindly
You may want to calm your racism down and do research. Egypt was a cosmopolitian MEDETERANEAN nation. As such the folks there looked similar to those in the MEDETERANEAN region, including the Grecco-Italian region. They actually pointed that out, and also mentioned the DNA. The fact of the matter is Egyptians in that era looked very much like the folks in Greece and Southern Italy. Only a bigot like you would be complaining about this with racist comments.
Very interesting. I propose another scenerio in which, in lieu of Ankhenaten who seemed to throw only girls, another close male relative stepped in to try to gain a son. Please keep us informed as more information developes.
SO THE PSEUDO ITALIAN SCIENTIST HAS IDENTIFIED THE ANCIENT BLACK EGYPTIAN PHARAOH AKHENATEN TO LOOK LIKE A PRESENT DAY ITALIAN. FROM SICILY. I GUESS THAT AN IRISH PSEUDO SCIENTIST WILL BUILD A COMPUTER STRUCTURE OF HIM LOOKING LIKE A REDHEADED FRECKLED FACE IRISHMAN..
This is fascinating. I do, however, worry about a kind of transferance when those attempting to reproduce this skull and face are looking at pictures or statues of their potential subjects. From looking at these images, both reconstructions and statues of various pharohs, the identity of this person is still in question. There are similarities for sure to Akhenaten, but it’s not a definite match. Please keep working to identify this mummy.
Just one brief clarification. According to the Medieval Irish document the Lebor Gabála Érenn the Fir Bolg were one of several waves of settlers who came to Ireland before the arrival of the Tuatha Dé Danann. They were actually defeated by the Tuatha at the 1st Battle of Cath Maige Tuired. They were then offered a quarter of their own homeland, which became the province of Connaught.
Controversy surrounds the Tuatha Dé Danann. Were they a technically advanced Bronze Age people who were able to dazzle the native Hibernians with new ideas and superior weaponry? Or were they commensurate with the ancient Gods of the Celts and essentially mythological?
The true defeaters of the Tuatha were a further wave of invaders, the Milesians. A Gaelic speaking people, probably using iron weapons, they arrived in Ireland via north-west Spain. Having arrived in Ireland the more numerous Milesians agreed with the Tuatha Dé to split the Ireland in two. Given the pick of territory the Sons of Mil chose the land above the ground, thus consigning the Tuatha Dé Danann to the land below, or Otherworld, accessed through numerous megalithic grave entrances that dot the Irish countryside. The Tuatha thus became the Aos Sí or simply Sídhe (pronounced Shee), the Fairy Folk of Ireland.

Thanks for this report, Nathan, so interesting.
Thousand of years ago, people could only express their thoughts and feelings in drawings on the cave walls – now we have writing!
Hi Caesar,
Check out this Wiki entry -
https://de.zxc.wiki/wiki/Bo%C5%99ivoj_I.#Tod_und_Grabst%C3%A4tte
which states that the tomb for the Duke remained empty, and a bit of controversy about the presumed remains.
Weep for Europe, our states birthed in lakes of blood.

Whatever, comparative mythology is great.

Thanks, Ashley, for your precis, on this research.
Wondering; when the Romans resurrected the town, had the aquifer re-established itself, or did they import water via clever engineering?

Well, we all cultures like exaggerated myths and legends. Humans are the only animals with a liking for wild claims and fantasy.

May he and his heritage flourish.
We use the word 'poverty' to describe the socioeconomic situation of these people but we as westerners are well on our way there.
The accumulation of money to describe wealth is absurd, these people are wealthy, it is us that are poor.
