    Science has for the last 150 years, been subservient to politics!

    Bias against Neanderthals and other 'archaic' lineages will not disappear quickly. An article in Australia today talks of a south coast dig attempting to push back the Aboriginal history of the continent to 120,000 years. In itself, that's not really remarkable. However, there's only circumstantial evidence of early human activity dated to that period uncovered on site thus far.

    Yet, no mention is made, nor probably will be made, of the simple fact that without hard evidence human activity cannot be easily attributed to one group or another, Aboriginal or otherwise. One cannot yet say that the evidence available now, if correct (a fireplace and a midden, potentially), could not be related to a human species other than ours. Other humans made it well into Indonesia which is not that far away. That much is known.

    We won't know for sure if we don't want to know, too frightened to seek answers lest they turn out to not exactly be to everyone's liking. Science should not be subservient to politics.

    Neanderthal is pronounced with out the 'h' because the word is German and th as in English does not exist in the German language.
    The th is pronounced in high German but this would not be heard by a non German speaking person..

    We have absolutely no idea of the faces of the Neanderthal as all pictures are the artists licence to interpret any way he likes, within skeletal limits.
    The one thing we can be sure of is that they did not look like that
    which we assume.
    We do not know the colour of the eyes or the colour of their hair or skin. We do not know of the size of their noses or the shape.
    I believe they had blond hair, blue eyes and a ski slope, delicate nose.
    Their woman were more beautiful than today's most beautiful.

    O.K. I believe.

    I also belief that their diet was largely plant based and not flesh based, as is so often depicted.

    As far as I know there has only been one skeleton that show the distinctive bone structure of the Neanderthal. if there are others would somebody please tell me where I can go view them, please not one or two, I need to see hundreds, minimum.

    Now that scientists have discovered nearly all northern Europeans have much more than expected Neanderthal DNA, their depictions will start to show more traditional European facial features. They will begin to loose their stoop and appear less brutish.

    yea lets not learn about how our ancestors lived and instead leave artefacts to be sold on the black market never to have a story of they’re origins, who needs history eh.

    It seems that the ‘experts’ can accept dates for occupation that extend accepted norms only by small increments, but not older proven dates. There are sites in North America that exceed Clovis by several thousands of years, but anyone that dares to publish or publicize them is ostracized and subject to ridicule, contempt, and criticism by the ‘establishment’. The criteria used to discredit many of those discoveries is conveniently not applied in cases that meet their acceptable time line. 

     

  • Reply to: William Marshal: One of the Most Important Knights in Medieval England   4 years 4 months ago

    I highly recommend  Thomas Asbridge’s  –  The Greatest Knight: The Remarkable Life of William Marshal, the Power Behind Five English Thrones.  For anyone seeking to learn what the life of a knight was really like this is a must read!  Note: Tournaments, for example, were nothing at all like we see in the movies!   Tournaments took place over many miles and for many days and were a major source of income for knights and royals.  Even more important the tournament circuit was followed like many sports are today.  Tournaments are where skills and tactics were honed.  By the time of the Crusades there was a large recruiting pool of skilled warriors that participated in the tournaments.  Incidentally tournaments were focused more on capture than injury.  Knights were paid a randsome for the opponents they captured and this was part of the game.    Teams were developed for their the skills they brought to the team and how well they could play the game to win.

    Yes, too much flesh not balanced by vegetable intake will cause Atherosclerosis, never mind how much Omega 3, which is destroyed by cooking.

    What is interesting is that the mummified people were between 18 and 30 years, a little young to die, I think.

    Joseph’s actual account has been kept by his descendents through the years and has recently surfaced in New Zealand. It is being translated at the moment. Basically he was set adrift with Mary Magdalene and some other prominent Christians by Saul of Tarsus. God brough them to shore and they made their way to Glastonbury and established the first Christian community outside the Mediterranean. They were not Gnostics.

    Completely ignores the actual history from the Tysilio Chronicle in the Bodleian Library, which Flinders Petrie identified as one of the sources for Geoffrey of Monouth’s incorrectly-maligned Histories… The Catholics (Augustine of England – NOT St Augustine of Hippo) paid/influenced 3 Saxon chieftans who had converted to massacre over 1000 Celtic Christian monks at Bangor-is-y-coed, because they would not accept the (self-proclaimed) authority of the Pope as the leader of Christendom. This effectively gave control to Catholicism.

    The Saxons gained control shortly afterwards when a plague broke out amongst the Britons. They didn’t associate with the Saxons, who weretherefore spared, and over 90% of the Britons died. Letters were sent back to Saxony for reinforcements and the Britons were pushed back into Wales.

    <p>In the article God made lilith&nbsp;the watcher of infants so they DON&rsquo;T DIE. But lilith bore demon infants so because she refused to be killed by the angels and tricked them by saying that how could she die when God made her the watcher of infants, that included all infants. Because of her trickery God killed 100 of her demon infants per day, and since she could not herself kill human infants she spitefully killed her own infants. Lilith is the demonic spirit that enters a woman to possess&nbsp;her to kill her&nbsp;baby within, which is why she is the patron of abortion.&nbsp;</p>

    Couldn’t agree more. Whenever concensus is achieved, doubt should be raised.

    It is absurd to speak or write of the 'first' people to arrive in America.
    We have no idea of the first people as there have been possibly hundred and perhaps 1000's of civilisations before the Clovis.
    All of the artifacts that we uncover are from recent civilisations as the much older civilisations artifacts have returned to dust thousands of years ago.

  • Reply to: Praying For Life – Top 10 Ancient Fertility Goddesses   4 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: Guillaumé

    All of the fertility deities in this article are descriptive of Venus.

    Venus was considered the Ruler of war but this has now been correctly re-ascribed to Mars. Venus rules every other descriptive word used in this article.
    From beautiful woman to ripped out whore. As with all of the planets they have polar extremes of the same characteristics.

    Venus is naturally associated with Taurus. Taurus being the Bull so she may be depicted with Bulls such as in the picture of Nerthus.

    The figurines were hand held and were fondled sexually. The clitorus was open and prominent allowing the holder to placate and give pleasure to Venus in a prayer for a good years fertility and harvest.

    Don't you just love your Taurean partner, the sexiest of all.

    for Gods sake, put everything back and leave our ancestors alone, bloody grave robbers. Karma (a universal law which cannot be broken) will take its toll.

    How come there are no hieroglyphics of the pyramid, or drawings of the shape, or any reference to them in the ancient etched or painted descriptions?
