This is actually untrue Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, one who performed several miracles within the Quran (as a child no less), however they deny that he would possibly be a direct son of God/Allah as this would imply that the creator can do things considered lesser for such a higher being (having sex)
Click bait!!! nothing new. Because Eaaster is approaching doesn’t mean one should trot out old studies of crucifications, label them “NEW EVIDENCE” and then personify the rehash as singularly applicable to on desert dweller. there were thousands of people crucified and several different methods used. To proclaim this one method sheds light on one individual is oversimplifying the issue and poor academics.

Astrology ascribes Divine Powers to what appear to be distant suns. The interest for the mystic and the scholar that such constellations have is due to their very real properties, because from them, and certainly from Orion's Belt, "APPEAR" to be emitted thunderbolts of divine celestial power on occasion, according to both mythology and recent observation.
Now the crux of the matter resides in the word APPEAR, because it goes some way to explaining the study of Astrologies in ancient times when men and women were dependant, as now, upon Divine Favour, but who then unlike modern urban man, skies clear enough to marvel and to learn from what they could observe.
So this article is interesting, but unwise to contest itself as fact, rather than as a new modern myth, similar to, and invaluable to us as is Mesurier's " The Great Pyramid Decoded".
WE are here dealing with coincidence, yes, but also possibility. Our own personal search for the Divine is aided, like scriptures by such work, but if we are honest about it, should we not then add to it the open air roofless stone circle sites, as places where seekers go in hope of an initiation?
Surly Callanish, Stonehenge, and their like globally had this use, and it was this use, and not for anything lesser that such structures were first built? Like the Pyramids and Stonehenge they later were adopted by barbarians for feasting and blood sacrifice of animals, for burial and mummification of pet and Pharoah, but was this their purpose in the beginning?
In the Bible, is there a single reference to Pyramid construction by Jews conscripted, as in a cartoon film? No.
In the Bible, there is no reference to their existence, or that of the massive sculpted Egyptian temples either. The only fairly reliable record of building them , or their like, is in Akhenaten's correspondence, and these are much much later than the building of Pyramids whether by God, or by Man, or When, and these writings refer to the construction of an entire urban temple complex, though notably all those helping hands descending toward his family from the Sun should clue you in!!
To quote, we believe, St. Paul himself.
Did any genuinely earnest Jew, Christian, Muslim, Hindu or Jain, when they themselves did write down letters and instructions and parables and stories, do it for their descendants? as though at their deaths
without their records God itself would cease to exist?
Of course not, very possibly they wrote stuff down in crytic form to be able themselves to remember stuff they thought at the time THEY needed to remember.
But certain people (you know who you all are!!) imagine that such writings are necessarily important and TRUE, which is nonsense, because Almighty God never wrote them, did it? Any of them, real, or fake? But the "devots" as we say in French, unashamedly quote such real and fake writings, as Gospel, and we still swear oaths on such real and fake writings, because the chances are very high that all the Holy Books are fakes- in the very real sense that they were NOT written by those they depict, or might have been, but decades later, or hundreds of years later, and added on, as Muslim scolars almost universally regard the add-on Shariah-compatible parts of a Quoran, that was itself written neither by the angel Gabriel, nor God, nor the illiterate Mohammed. So, if you add to the Quoran the entire Bible, the Mahabharata, The Book of Mormon (I mean where are those gold tablets folks, anyways?), and the Ramayana, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead with the Egyptian, and realize that however holy and wonderful those writings may be, they are not intended as Truth itself, but are the prayers of the Saints!!
What on Earth do they then have to do with History?
This should not be a surprise. The Victorian-era depiction of Neaderthals as hunch-backed brainless ape-men is so far removed from the truth as to be beyond reasonable consideration.
I have traveled to many Buddhist countries and prayed at their shrines. I am not a scholar, but would like your opinion of the concept of bodhisattvas offered by F. Sierksma in “Tibet’s Terrifying Dieties, Sex and Aggression in religious acculturation”. I photographed several pages but they are not very clear. I will try to find the book online. I could not serve Sieksma’s explanation for the creation of the concept in a few sentences. He also says that the cold hard Doctrine taught by the Buddha could not sustain itself financially (with monks selfishly only caring for their own liberation from the Wheel of Life) and what the Buddha really said was essentially “put away.” Like Catholic saints who served their communities and prayed for ther souls of the faithful, the Buddhist peasants needed intermediaries who would look after them while they worked to feed the monks. Thus, monks would agree to forego their own liberation to help others. In my own shorthand, Buddha’s message was “liberate yourself.” I do not see a place to add the pages I photographed but will try another means to highlight the author’s theory. Did the Buddha say anything about bodhisattvas or past and future buddhas?
Yes, @osiris. Wagner also defines Brunhild’s role in a more central and traditional way, relating her heroism and character in line with the Edda sagas. I’ve always felt that Wagner related the Völsunga Saga in a masterful way – almost as if he were a ‘voice’ born to reveal the legend as it was meant to be from ages past. Before the ‘christian’ trappings deformed much of the ancient lore.
Certain areas of the Amazon have soils modified heavily (ie. improved) by ancient agriculture. Thus, that these vegetation islands are not natural should be no surprise.
Vast chunks of the Amazon were cleared. Even if just a small percentage of the area in total, that's still a vast chunk given the size of the Amazon Basin.
Today, Ostriches only naturally occur in Namibia, generally along the east coast, down and into the Cape province in South Africa.
One can still find the occasional nest with eggs in if you are determined to find one.
I have found one abandoned in the Cape point nature reserve.
The Ostrich is a solitary bird in its natural environment but here in the Cape they are farmed in large herds causing the animal extreme distress.
The ostrich is chased and caught then placed in a confining cage where the feathers are plucked out, causing the bird excruciating pain.
You don't want to hear them scream, I would call it 'blood curdling scream'.
You do not want to see a naked Ostrich either. Imagine a very large chicken running around your farm
without tail or leg feathers.
Please do not buy feather dusters or ostrich eggs or Ostrich skin, shoes, wallets, handbags.
Interesting that the composer Johan Strauss, Strauss means Ostrich in the German language.
There is more actual evidence that Jesus was raised from the dead than that Julius Ceasar lived. Get hold of Josh McDowell’s “Evidence that demands a verdict.” McDowell was an atheist student who set out to disprove the resurrection as the central tenet of Christianity.
I'm sorry but isn't a researcher's job to be sceptical, all proposals and theories are met with a bit of pushback you must prove your validity. The pushback that these skeletons get is simply a part of the researcher's jobs
Was expecting a catch to the sword like in many old myths, (Arthur's Excalibur was second to it's scabbard, and Roland's sword though powerful was not to be relied on more than his oliphant horn) seems like there are no strings attached with Joyeuse
Some mentions of the various stories and legends that throw Charlemagne into the spotlight would've been nice, the Song of Roland being one of the most famous

very very useful and happy to read
I am very happy and very useful information in this article
I am so excited for real this article...

The concept of Jesus is Pagan. This is why Jews and Muslims do not believe in Jesus.
Christianity is pagan

I mean, 'west coast of Namibia'

This would mean that the virgin forests of southern american djungles aren't?
