    Truly is hard for me to appreciate ANYTHING from any religion any more. The more I discover, the more I give thanks for breaking free... one of the most oppressing forces on the planet has been the destroyer of human history for far too long. Layer upon layer of deceit.. truly turns my stomach. One day, the cycle of perpetuation, for the sake of perpetuation, will end.

    I will go so far as to bet my 'soul', 'spirit' or whatever when I tell you that this has been taking place in underground labs for decades. Do you actually think this hasn't? I was just thinking earlier, in regards to another article I read, that they've must have tried every conceivable combo of human/animal/plant DNA by now (or, they are trying). Again, what's stopping them? If we see this, it's 25+ yrs old, like everything that is 'released' as 'new'. I've assumed that some 'aliens' are just GE'd beings and certainly cannot be trusted as 'saviors' of humanity... never hand over the planet to any 'alien' beings. ;) But, absolutely, human beings, using only 15% of our brain, and being imperfect, talk about creating other beings and AI to solve all our problems? Right. lol.

    Are Ancient Origin’s editors geographically challenged?  The map showing the supposed migration route to the Coopers Ferry area has the Snake River cutting a straight line east from (roughly) Wallula, Washington on the state line to the Idaho border.  That would be a neat trick as that line transsects the entire Blue Mountain Range.  Instead, the real Snake River executes an elegant curve northeasterly from Burbank, Washington to the extince hamlet of Almota, Washington, and thence southeasterly to almost-extinct Rogersburg, Washington, in order to avoid the Blue Mountains.  Coopers Ferry is shown on google maps if you zoom in close enough.  It’s about nine miles south-southwest of Cottonwood, Idaho, and 12 miles west of Grangeville.

    Statues at the time were life-real, not stylized. So a statue of a person that showed someone else wearing the royal robes would have exposed Tuthmosis 3 as a different person to Tuthmosis 2/Moses/Senemnut (to the people he was just Tuthmosis/Crown Prince). Therefore, a story was leaked that Hatshepsut had offended the gods by representing the pharoah as ruler of the North, which justified destroying the evidence.

    Amenhotep 3 had two sons by different wives. His royal wife gave him Tutankhamun (NEVER a ruling Crown Prince or King) who died in the last plague. His father being a second son was spared, but died 3 days later in the Red Sea at Nuweiba.

    Egypt is now in crisis. Their economy depends on tribute, and they have no army. An older High Priest married the Pharoahs second wife (mother of his second son age 7) and assumed the role of Pharoah (Ay). Tut’s mother wrote to the Hittite King asking for a Hittite Prince to be sent to be her husband and rule Egypt “as it would be wrong of me to marry a commoner” ie. No nobles left – they all drowned with the Army (the Bible says “the whole army of Egypt”). A Hittite Prince set out, but never made it to Egypt (murdered?).

    Ay goverend for seven years, before Amenhoteps second son was thrown into the top job (~age 14). As soon as he had control, he threw our the original gods of Egypt and set up a new religion at Armana, trying to follow the God who had released the captives. We call him Akenaten.

    Remember, much of the story we’ve been told about the pharoahs is supposition and interpretation. I hve yet to find ANY hard evidence disproving Wyatt’s Scenario.

    The dating of the Exodus to 1346BC (Amenhotep 3) is based on actual discoveries – particularly the Chariot Wheels under the Red Sea at Nuweiba by Ron Wyatt. They found 4-, 6-, and 8-spoked wheels, and were told by the Dept of Antiquities in the 90s that was definitive to the 18th Dynasty, as it was the ONLY time all three styles were used together. Also, the Biblical dates, going back from the establishment of Solomon’s Temple in 959BC.

    Ron was able to decode the 18th Dynastyfrom this, with the added understanding that the Pharoah names (TITLES) are not all Kings – the Tuthmosis name referred to the Crown Prince (Prince of Wales) who governed the North of the country as the representative of the King (Amenhotep). Hatshepsut was Pharoahs Daughter whose husband died young leaving her childless. Her brothers also died young, so she was the ONLY remaining royal of her generation, which is why she dopted the role of pharoah (=Great House NOT King) in the north. Senemnut (Moses was his Hebrew name) was her adopted son, a non-egyptian baby. He was the architect of her funerary temple and had his own partially completed tomb (where his parents were buried). It was partially completed because at some point he was elevated to Crown Prince (Tutmosis 2), and led the army and co-ruled the North. When he fled, a distant relative of the Pharoah of a similar age was dressed in the outfit and assumed the role of Crown Prince (Tuthmosis 3 to us. Egyptians generally wouldn’t have known).Tuthmosis 3 became the Pharoah Amenhotep 2. His second son became Tuthmosis 4/amenhotep 3 – the Pharoah of the Exodus.

    This theme of only on foot could have the Americas have been populated is stale & repetitive.

    Brazil has Cerro Dos Lagoa or Lagos dated to 100,000 years of human habitation. This Clovis jive is annoying.

    This is not by any means or stretch of the imagination the earliest proof of human occupation in the Americas. The Cerutti site near San Diego has evidence of butchering mastodons 130,000YA.  Apparently the old guard just refuses to consider or admit that they’ve had it wrong for so long. They just can’t admit that Clovis First is dead and gone

    Good article but missing some research. Ogham stones are also found in England:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silchester_Ogham_stone

    http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Blog/2009/11/ogham-stones-of-cornwall-and-devon.html

    They are found all over the British Isles and perhaps further afield.

    So, rather than to earn money, these log-wood cutters, who lived in swamps and were susceptible to sickness and disease as well as being hunted by the Spanish were actually also homosexuals. Pipe-welders usually work with mates who help them fabricate, they would probably be about as gay too, staying in the same hotels and going for meals with eachother etc.

    No, no no!

    80 feet = 80% of 100 feet.

    27m = 90% of 30m.

     

    If the dimensions are 100 ft by 80 ft, then they are 30m by 24m.

    If the dimensions are 30m by 27m, then they are 100 ft by 90 ft.

    Hello.
    I enjoyed the article about Hatshepsut and Moses very much. I have a question however. I feel I must also state that I am not a scholarly person by any means. I love ancient Egyptian history and try to soak up as much knowledge as I can.

    Couldn't some of the same arguments you used n your article also apply to Sobekneferu and the Exodus being at the end of the Middle Kingdom?

    I know some do believe that if there was a Moses and an Exodus this timeline and events happening in Egypt fits as well. It would not of course explain why the name of Sobekneferu was not obliterated or that of her father etc. Any further insight would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Funny how at the end it says 'donations are appreciated'.guess the more famouse a ruined site is the more you have to pay to go there. That's why it's £15 to get in Glastonbury abbey where you might find some pigoens, but if you want to go to woodspring priory near Weston super mare and walk along the estuary which is the UK's biggest nature reserve to see the plants and birds there its free because who's heard of doing that?

    This is definitely not a copy and paste from Fox News, nor are any of our articles. This is actually (unfortunately) backed up by the fact two separate studies by the same researchers have been confused here. However, you are completely correct about the age/gender assumption. Although the fact that there were young(ish) women and a child in this one find does lend weight to Cowie’s deduction that both genders and all ages were fair game.

    Thank you for your comments. You are correct, and the error came form a confusion of 2 completely unrelated studies by the same researchers. The author of this piece incorrectly stated that the Inca engaged in head shrinking, which was definitely not stated by the researchers in the study. The Inca never shrunk heads, only tribes from the Amazonas, namely Shuar, Achuar, Huambisa and Aguaruna of Ecuador and Peru. Thank you for all your comments. The article defintely benefitted from them and included misinformation that has been removed. Apologies for the errors.

    A very interesting find.  I continue to be amazed that the subject of iconoclasm isn’t addressed more by branches of main stream archeology when looking at the “destruction” of sacred sites and religious symbolism.  It certainly wasn’t invented by the early Christians as it has been going on for millinnea but it seems to be ignored during most discussions regarding damaged finds that are beyond the expected issues due to aging and exposure to the elements in situ.

    @KITNKAAT

    Either you didn’t look very hard, which I can believe since you openly admit that you “only read about half way before giving up” and seem to require others to tell you if things are correct or not, to say nothing of your desire to be spoon-fed information, or else you’re simply disingenuous. Within 5 minutes of looking I found not one but two references to a serpent in the Garden of Hesperides as well as a dragon in same garden, which technically is also a serpent. 

    Here are some links, since you have trouble finding these things on your own, or at least that’s what you’d have us believe.

    1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/Mosaico_Trabajos_H%C3%A9rcules_%28M.A.N._Madrid%29_11.jpg [Note: the word serpent doesn’t appear, however unless one is blind or dishonest, it is clear there is a serpent on the tree.]
    2. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Hesperides%2C_sive%2C_De_malorvm_avreorvm_cvltvra_et_vsv_libri_quatuor_%28Page_11%29_BHL273076.jpg [Note: again the word serpent does not appear, however one must ask why past artists would depict the Garden of Hesperides with a serpent on the tree unless there were references to it.]
    3. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5e/Rudolf_Jettmar_-_Hercule_et_les_Hesperides.jpg [Note: in this artwork the serpent is a dragon]

    Now you have been spoon-fed 3 examples of a serpent in the Garden of Hesperides. You can dimiss them as not mentioning a serpent, demand references or instead, and this is the recourse I recommend: search out on your own where the artists got the information they were depicting. 

    Perhaps you should finish the book you gave up on, most of them contain the references at the end :D

    Edit: There were actually 5 images of a serpent/dragon in Hesperides from a single wikipedia page. Here’s 2 more for you:

    1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/GardenHesperides_Bur... [Note: this is the most clear and obvious depiction of a serpent coiled around the golden apple tree with 3 Hesperides dancing around it. The serpent is blue in this artwork.]
    2. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Hercules_Killing_the_Dragon_in_the_Garden_of_the_Hesperides%2C_Palazzo_Vecchio%2C_Florence.jpg [Note: while this one depicts Hercules in the Garden of Hesperides killing a dragon, the golden apple tree does not seem to appear.]

    Now I known ancient origins doesn't even fact check their sources, this is just a copy past from Fox News, the Chilean archeologist who undercover this, Francisco Garrido, he himself stated the skulls belonged to young females aged between 16-17 to 30-35 years old, not little girls. There’s another skull however that is about 11-13 years old but of undetermined gender.
