I agree, people have been lied to and a history altered. A great and good people slaughtered and punished. We are taught and brainwashed by the media our entire lives.
I wonder if it could be a kettle bottom. Do a google search for kettle bottom in a coal mine. We found them all the time in the mine and they were very dangerous because the could drop out of the roof without warning. We always put a roof bolt into them when possible just to support them. The edge would be as smooth as glass when they dropped from the roof. Funny, I was just thinking of kettle bottoms a day or so ago. I'm sure that Ukrainian miners would know about kettle bottoms though. Something to think about!!
Thanks all, volume and quality of comments surprises me, usually only see such in response to comments on religous or Biblical themed articles. (which I’m averse to commenting on) I appreciate the thoughts and info.
The name is Rephaim, which means 'Giants of Evil' deriving from Sumerian.
The modern nuance is 'The four horsemen of the apocolypse' and has nothing to do with the rubbish espoused in this badly resesrched and poorly written article
Nowhere in Plato's history does it say Atlantis has sunk and disappeared. Nor does it say that it must lie in the sea. It says that Atlantis lies outside the pillars of Hercules and that Atlantis was destroyed by an earthquake and a flood;
Plato: "... a wider area than Libya and Asia, and since it was lowered by an earthquake and flood, it left an impenetrable barrier of mud to sailors who sailed from there to the sea." The perception of Africa in Plato's time was that Libya constituted Africa, and with Asia it was Turkey or Asia Minor. The last sentence might just indicate that one had to sail by canals or rivers to get from Atlantis to the sea.
Plato: "The northern part of the island is made up of mountains". This fits fine with the Atlas Mountains, as Atlas was the first king of Atlantis.
Good to point out our own cultural biases that shape our views of the past. The ancient Greeks had rules, different from our own, but were very strict about them. We perceive them as debauched today, but I'd argue that ironically the closest culture today sharing their views of sexuality would be the Islamic portion of the 3rd world, especially Afghanistan/Pakistan.
Since the plague was spread by the bite of a flea or exposure to the bodily fluids of the infected, the costume might have been more effective than the article supposes. The suet impregnaiton of the gown might have impeded the doctor from contracting fleas from a dying patient. Rabbit hunting, and having shot flea infested rabbits I was shocked to see the fleas abandoning the dead host almost as soon as its heart stopped beating.
The beak stuffed with aromatics might also have repelled fleas that attempted to enter the garment of the doctor. As they say form follows function. In this case the phrase might be form follows efficacy. If the costume reduced risk of infection or stopped it, then the use of the costume and its effective accountrements spread regardless of whether how they worked was understood.
The bible does not mention any different level of gods. In the bible, there is only one god recognised as being a living god and not a man-made entity. The ultimate, invisible creator God is the only god mentioned in the bible.
According to the bible, God has angels who speak to humans on his behalf when he stopped manifesting on Earth as per the story of the Fall of Man (Genesis 3).
As to the giants or nephilim, no they would not have been seen as demigods because again there is only one god. An angel or half angel would not be a god and the reason this is very clear is because in Judges 13:9-21, when an angel came to tell Samson’s parents that they would have a child the parents asked for the angel’s name so that when what he had said came true they could honour him, the angel refused to tell them so that the couldn’t mistakenly worship him.
As for aliens, God is an alien. He’s not from Earth it’s a simple as that. If you actually read the bible you can see that many things written several thousands of years ago are only now being proven by science, yet more proof that God is not a creation of man but vice versa thus making him again alien or an outsider of the Earth.
There’s literally no trick to it. Jews and Christians do not believe in multiple gods, idolatry or any of that stuff, that’s why unlike most other religions Jews (and Muslims whose scriptures borrow heavily from the Jews) do not make statutes or idols to worship, they just write, discuss and debate their laws and religion. Christians on the other hand were supposed to be like Messianic Jews but instead the religion has been polluted and Saints in Catholicism take the place of gods from polytheistic religions.
Jesus is not a completely separate entity from God. Jesus is supposed to be both part of God, a part made into a human to understand human suffering and motives and also continually linked to god. So for example if God was an AI in a massive computer and he downloaded some of his consciousness into an android body but the two were still linked wireless, that would be how Christians (by which I mean, me personally) interprets Jesus. The holy spirit aka the holy ghost is not a ghost in the way that people who watch tv comprehend it. Ghost is interchangeable with spirit and really means a sentient presence or energy. This is also a part of God, not separate from him.
There are no multiple or different levels of gods in the bible and therefore not in Judiasm or (true) Christianity. I’m saying this an a qualified archaeologist and also a Christian.
The article uses a translation of the cylinder that I personally believe is not correct. I went to the link provided and quite frankly was surprised by the poor quality of the document used as a reference. First of all they claim that it is by Geoffrey Nice of Gresham College and yet his status as a knight and QC is not mentioned. Why? The document dates to after the time when both of these titles should have been used.
Another factor which strongly lead me to believe that the source is not to be taken seriously, if you ignore the horrible formatting that I’m sure a 400+ year old institution would have been able to do a better job of, is the presence of frequent spelling errors. I don’t think the document was even written by a native English speaker.
Lastly the fact that the very liberal wikipedia has a completely different translation which shows none of the human rights proclamations which so obviously serve a political agenda just goes to show that this document is questionable. Most books that are translated are vaguely similar but the paragraphs quoted in this article aren't at all similar to other translations of the original.
The writer, an archaeological student should have known to err on the side of caution.
This article is all speculation and speaks to how much people with degrees and certificates and all sorts of other fancy paper materials don’t know what they’re talking about. Sad really..
Hmmm, if 75.6%of offenders are male, and 20.1% are female, what are the remaining 4.3%? Must be something strange lurking out there, watch out for them/it?

Compared to what's entering Europe now, they are definitely a superior race, Lol!

Graham Hancock shows 11 point, where Andrew Collins have a mistake:

Sounds like a better reform than Brexit.

Great article. Burton was an amazing guy.
Here's a website I found with scanned-in copies of his works:

Please stop comparing humans to Apes there is and was no connection whatsoever. We did not evolve from monkeys, silly.

An aquatic lifestyle would promote greater size. Human fingernails only make sense for an aquatic or semi-aquatic lifestyle.
