  • Reply to: Rh-Negative Blood: An Exotic Bloodline or Random Mutation?   4 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Amakrn

    Melody: This is very interesting, and certainly not out of the realm of possibillity. I share a lot of your traits. I have blue green eyes, however, I was born with blonde hair that has darkened as I’ve gotten older. I also believe there was an Atlantis. There’s actually not a doubt in my mind. I think there were many highly evolved races that had to leave because of natural disasters and other factors. Were Atlantians aliens? Makes me wonder. There are many possibilities. But I do have the psychic thing and dreams that are more realistic than reality and have predicted events. My ancestry is all Northern European.

    The pendulum was used to measure the speed of Venus in order to get to the measurement "Megalithic Yard" discovered by Alexander Thom.

    See the book 'Civilisation One" Chapter 2 page 35. A most brilliant book.

    Pretty sure their experimentation is being closely watched by the world’s militaries who savor the creation of a hybrid super-soldier.  Ah, their dreams about to come true I suspect.

  • Reply to: Was the Emperor Constantine a True Christian or Was He a Secret Pagan?   4 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Rob L.

    Of course Constantine was a "secret pagan."  He "converted" to Christianity but he still paid homage to the pagan gods of Rome and it was only on his death bed that he converted "just in case" the Christians were right.  Additionally, at the church Council of Nicaea he declared, "I am your only savior!".  And he considered himself the 13th Apostle which in his mind gave him the authority to dictate to the church council what their beliefs and doctrines would be.  As for his mother Helena she did indeed travel in the Middle East looking for sites connected with Jesus yet having no clue where they might be.  Instead she relied on what the locals told her and when a site could not be found she simply designated some place as the site whether it was or not.  Christians celebrate Constantine as the "first Christian emperor" but, in fact, his behavior speaks far louder than words.  In short, he was nothing more than a master politician who knew how to play people.

    Namibia. Termites. The underground nests consist of many thousands of individuals and cover large areas. They come up in their thousands, through a small hole made by them.
    In their thousands they cut singular blades of grass and drag it to the hole where they drop it and go back for more, fascinating to watch.
    Other termites coming up from the hole and drag the cut blades, underground. A compost bed is created upon which a fungus grows. Before the mushroom shows they carry mycelium on their backs and move through the entire nest feeding the population of workers and Queen. Queenie gets lots and she is about 500 times bigger (and more) than any other individual.
    Mushrooms like all other plants/funghi stretch for the Sun (of God) and sometimes reach the surface. We (Scientists) then make all sorts of suppositions which are mainly proven false but are inculcated in the minds of the lay as the truth.
    I have studied this amazing organism / community for many years as I had them in my back garden, living in what was called then, the Transvaal. They were even nesting in the municipal, electricity, main switch box at the road side. Oh, they also got into my bathroom and dismantled the wooden (pressed chipboard), under wash basin cupboard.
    My partner one morning, as we were brushing our teeth, said “What is that strange sound?”
    Eventually and with tongue in cheek, I bent down and opened the cupboard door. Not much left.

    Hi Ms. Aleksa Vučković, I enjoyed very much reading your article. I saw that you your information from very important sources but if you like novels, I would recommend you to read "The Physician" by Noah Gordon. Yours Naum

  • Reply to: Monumental Reminder of Scottish Witch Persecutions   4 years 7 months ago

    Love the idea of a memorial for these individuals. Anyone know of a book or source to look up the names of these individuals who were accused and/or murdered for being allegedly “witches” in Scotland? I have a number of ancestor who were accused in Salem MA, and in Sweden. I suspect there may have been more. Thanks!

  • Reply to: Does ‘New Evidence’ Prove Noah’s Ark Is Buried on a Turkish Mountain?   4 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: ocrt

    There are some real problems with the story of Noah’s ark. A male and female of one species would not be sufficient to avoid inbreeding. How could a eight people handle the feeding and cleanup of hundreds of thousands of animals? Where did all the water come from to fill up the surface of the Earth above the highest mountains. There is nothing in the historical evidence that would indicate mass extinction of all humans on earth except for 8 persons. Historical evidence shows many human groups existing before, during, and after the time of the “flood” without any major disruption. Stil, it is an interesting story.

    I live here and I walk the beaches often and I look for any signs of activity but have seen very little. I cannot expand the map to be able to read it so it could be anywhere in the world.

    I have found many flat, smooth stones/pebbles with holes drilled into them and never in the middle always to one edge. The holes appear to be of the same 'drill bit' size.
    It is my contention that they were used as a pendulum for tracking the speed of the planets, specifically the Sun, Moon and Venus.

  • Reply to: Augusta Raurica and an Immense Silver Hoard   4 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Josiah Wood

    This is an interesting and instructive article, but it could use some editing. 

    We are told that the Romans ruled “the lands all along the Mediterranean Sea, and across the waters into Germany.”  Geographically this makes no sense.  One doesn’t go “across the waters” to access Germany unless this is interprested as a reference to crossing the Rhine, or coming from Britain or Scandinavia.  Neither of the latter ever served as the springboard for a Roman invasion route into Germany, and perhaps more to the point, the Romans never succeeded in conquering Germany except for a small portion of the south and west. As to crossing the Rhine, that’s barely relevant as the article’s focus is on a settlement south of the Rhine. 

    In that regard, it would have been helpful to have described the exact location of the Roman colony so that the reader would know that it was virtually adjacent to the modern city of Basel, and if one considers the extent of the colony as well as its center settlement, Augusta Raurica could even be viewed as the forerunner of Basel.  The map showing the extent of the Roman Empire under Augustus is a fine complement to the article, but what it most needs is a map of the vicinity of Augusta Raurica, perhaps showing its relationship to Augusta Vindelicorum.

    Also, while the story’s “hook” is the “immense silver hoard,” we are given very little further information on the nature of the hoard, except for the Achilles plate.

    The old: “Surely it would have been found by now” – Classic, party-line reasoning, which illustrates the hubris of Western science. The places where these animals are reported to live are SO remote it takes weeks of river travel to get to the region. The author also fails to acknowledge that any population would survive only by becoming VERY good at avoiding humans. Absence of evidence proves nothing….

    Comment Author: Ford13

    I find it interesting that Custer is deemed a murderer and Crazy Horse a hero. Further evidence that revisionist history belongs to liberalism and falls within the boundary of a mental disorder. Crazy Horse was a savage that murdered on demand. No better than any other before or after.

  • Reply to: A Treasure in Ruins: Ancient Mehrgarh Lost to Thieves and Violence   4 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Sufi

    Mehr isn't just romantic love, but unconditional love. Mehrgarh means, Heaven's Love--as in Heaven on Earth; not "the heaven of love".

    The statuettes are of the aspect of Maiden & Mother, but also represent the Holy Harlots & their hairstyles of the time. Notice the Maiden with her hair down & arms behind her shy & modest. Now take note of the Mother with her arms forward, offering her bosom; her long, braided hair fashioned into horns--or disguising them. Remember in antiquity, throughout the world Mother is always depicted with horns, as this is her natural crown as Creatrix. Nowadays horns are largely diabolicalized, but that's a story for another day.

    Oh & the presentation of "wheel amulet" is a bit off. Turn it so 3 triangles point up & the other 3 point down. Now draw a Yab-Yum: Two intersecting triangles one downward, the other upward forming a 6-pointed Star. The triangle pointing up represents male & the triangle pointing down represents females. The 6 triangles represents the meeting of women & men, as the Yab-Yum is an ancient symbol of love & union of the genders.✡️

    I wonder if the excavators &/or archeologists noticed the vessel depicting the 3 fish; acknowledging the coming Age of Pisces.♓

  • Reply to: Sarah Wilson: The Trickster Who Rose from Convict to Princess   4 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: RJC

    Some of the above is true. Others are false.

    There are a number of untrue stories about Sarah. The first appeared in Rivington’s New York Gazetteer on 13 May 1773 that Sarah was a maidservant to Caroline Vernon, lady-in-waiting for Queen Charlotte, and began to steal the jewellery and clothing of the queen. She was apprehended and first condemned to death but eventually the sentence was commuted to penal transportation to the American colonies. This story was reprinted in several American and English newspapers, as well as the Gentleman’s and London Magazines. While much of the detail in the report in Rivington’s New York Gazetteer is either true, or likely to be true, the record is clear that Sarah was transported for obtaining clothes by false pretenses from a Mrs Davenport. There is no record of Queen Charlotte’s jewels or clothes being stolen.

    Later inventions were that she was born in Staffordshire in 1754, the daughter of a bailiff (it is more likely that she was born in London in about 1745). That she was dragged back to Bush Creek where she remained for two years before escaping again. She later married a British army officer named William Talbot, moved to New York, had a large family and lived happily ever after.

    Sarah was an imposter and a fraudster, a real life Moll Flanders who created a remarkable series of different lives for herself on both sides of the Atlantic.

    Beginning in her late teens Sarah wandered alone all over England, living dangerously on her wits, inventing new identities for herself including the Princess of Mecklenburgh, Countess of Normandy and Lady Countess Wilbrahammon, and telling different stories to suit different audiences in order to fool people into providing her with food and shelter, money and fine clothes. A Coventry Justice of the Peace described Sarah as “The greatest Impostress of the present Age”.

    After four or five years on the road one of her crimes caught up with her. Sir John Fielding sent Sarah to prison to await trial for obtaining a full set of clothes by false pretences. She was found guilty and sentenced to be transported to America. In 1768, after a spell in Newgate awaiting the next convict ship, she sailed for Maryland where escaped from her master and began a new set of adventures.

    In Virginia and the Carolinas she was passed from one plantation house to another as an honoured guest in the guise of the Queen’s sister where, according to Rivington’s New York Gazetteer for 13 May 1773, she,

    … made astonishing impressions in many places, affecting the mode of royalty so inimitably, that many had the honour to kiss her hand; to some she promised governments, to others regiments, with promotions of all kinds, in the Treasury, Army and in the Royal Navy [and] levied heavy contributions upon some persons of the highest rank in the Southern colonies.

    The same newspaper said that an agent of her former master recaptured her while she was visiting a neighbouring plantation. If that was true, it is possible that she bought her freedom by using some of her ill-gotten gains. None of the subsequent newspaper reports about her, gave any indication that she was a wanted fugitive.

    After Charleston, Sarah moved north. She stayed in Boston from 7 December 1773 to 11 January 1774 as Princess Carolina Matilda, Princess of Cronenburgh, Marchioness de Waldegrave. She might have been one of the thousands of spectators who watched the Sons of Liberty throwing the chests of tea from the three ships in Boston Harbour on the night of 16 December 1773.

    While still maintaining her royal pretentions, Sarah decided to play the religious card in puritan New England at the onset of the War of Independence, becoming the house-guest of Congregationalists, some of whom took an active part on the revolutionary side.

    Sarah’s story is told a new book, Impostress: The Dishonest Adventures of Sarah Wilson, published by The History Press (UK).

    The KV55 mummy is a female and it is of the 18th dynasty it is related to king tutankamen and Akenatem as the body is of anaksenumun. She has been trapped in the underworld because she knew that Aye killed king Tut. She had to marry Aye, then was killed by Aye, as Aye accused her of killing her first husband and brother king Tut.
