When Ron Wyatt discovered the Red Sea Crossing at Nuweiba in the late 80s, he laid out this explanation, based on the details provided by the Dept of Antiquities in Egypt. The key missing from the article above is that in the 18th dynasty, the title “Tuthmosis” was the Crown Prince title (like ‘Prince of Wales’), whereeas the Pharoah was mostly known by “Amenhotep”. So the SAME person could have royal monuments under different titles – the invested crown prince rules the North in the name of the Pharoah. Remember Pharoah means “Great House” not King!
So Senemnut (Moses) assists his adopted mother as the Pharoah’s ruling representative in the North (Hatshepsut as Pharoah). She was the only remaining child of her father. He is then invested as Crown Prince and takes the Tuthmosis title (Tuthmosis 2). After a number of years and successful military campaigns he sides with his Hebrew heritage and has to flee. The common people cannot be told that the God-Emperor-in-training was a traitor, so they find a cousin of the Pharoah, dress him in the outfit, and life goes on with Tuthmosis 3, who then became Amenhotep 2. Except….
Fake statues are exposed because they are mirror-image faces, whereas Egyptians of the day valued life-real faces. So… all the statues of Hatshepsut and Senemnut in public places had to be destroyed, or someon would expose the con. So Tut 3 destroyed all the statues, and put around the story that Hatshepsut had offended the Gods by ruling….
Gary,
In honor of the 300th anniversary of the Salem/Andover trials, an author and historian was asked to come up with some other reason then mass hysteria for the trials. He looked into things and suggested that it might have been the famed Ergot fungus. He was thanked for his idea and even wrote a book.
Ergot fungus, or wolfs tooth as it was known then, had been renowned since the time of the Viking invasions. For hundreds of year, there had been reports all over Europe of grainerys having to be dumped because they had the Wolfs tooth fungus. There are also list of symptoms or what the horrible fungus causes. Some of the symptoms are seeing things and hearing voices but the most famous are the physical decline of the person into gangrenous wounds and ultimately death. As the puritans were so particular to note all the girls symptoms, and never said anything about them suffering gangrene or dying, it is unlikely that Ergot was the problem. There is also very strong reason to believe that Ergot would have struck all the people in the village as it had in Europe, not just the young girls of Salem village.
In about 1702, or so, John Hale published an account of the witch trials posthumous (modest enquiry into the nature of witchcraft, 1702). He had been one of the judges during the proceedings of 1693. In his work, he argues that the judges who had been called in to serve on the trials did not know that the village and the town were set against each other. If they had, they would have gone about the trials a different way. The judges had not been told the whole truth of the matter.
And in that trial transcripts themselves, some of which are reprinted in,Wonders of the invisible world, Cotton Mather 1693, Tell a story of Hysteria.
Basically, little Abigail Williams would say: "They see birds! Yellow birds!"
And all the afflicted girls would start crying out and pointing and screaming about yellow birds.
Then little Abigail Williams would say " And now they are going to faint!"
And all the afflicted girls would cry out, act in part, and faint away.
Just a funny side note, since we are on the subject: The trial transcripts are really very interesting. One of the accused is a rough, angry person who insult both the court and threatens the accusers. I'm not really surprised that she were convicted. If i remember right the judges labeled her a vociferous old hag, or something like that.
Anyway, the short of my commentary is simply that there is far more reason to believe that the Salem/Andover trials really were mass hysteria then they were Ergot fungus.
If he found no references to shield walls in the written sources I suggest the researcher looks again. Vikings didn’t use a wall when attacking but clearly did when under missile attack or when outnumbered. There are clear references to them using it in early medieval texts like the Battle of Maldon poem where they form up behind a bordweall (Old Eanglish for a shield wall). Warming must have been quite selctive in the archaeolgical evidence he uses because shields do become larger in the 9th and 10th centuries suggesting they are not used merely to parry in the melee but are used in defensive formations. Reenactors, keep your shield walls!
Selective reporting is where you avoid publishing a news story out of fear of offending a particular group. We prefer to tell things as they are.
Go to The Telegraph article on this subject matter to see photos of the swastikas carved in the trees following the ceremonies carried out by this group.
If you take the time to look through the content of our website, you will find hundreds of articles on the rich history and traditions of paganism. Unfortunately some (not all) modern day groups have corrupted and adultered the original traditions and beliefs of those ancient peoples.
The article has been spread all over the media and I’m surprised that this website is posting trash like this. It’s another way of demonising the pagan and heathen religions of England. They’re not vandalising sacred sites or marking swastikas on trees as the article is saying. This is propaganda spreading lies. The liberals and elite want to ban paganism in the UK and are doing all they can to start vicious rumours.
Really? I am Asatruar and i find these idiots using my gods as an excuse for wanton destruction and hate speech utterly offensive. What a bunch of ignorant stupid people. Vandalism of ancient sites that have nothing to do with their supposed beliefs shows how mindless and pathetic these folk are. It is historically known the Norse were a diverse group that lived and intermingled with a wide group of different peoples. The offensive white supremacy crap spouted by these idiots is what many genuine pagan and heathen groups strive to distance themselves from and condemn. These disgusting people gives all heathens a bad name and the media must ensure to clarify that that they are the exception and not the rule. These people are nothing but thugs.
Contrary to what the author of this article claims, most religions actually secretly worship goddessess. They are actually worshipping a DIVA or DEVI referred to as Lucifer, the Light Bearer. She is, apparently, the goddess that brings enlightenment to humanity.
I say apparently because Lucifer (AKA Venus) is actually deceiving all humans because she promises peace and enlightenment but only delivers war (culling of men) and the dark ages (expunging history).
The greatest fear of witches are those that are directly involved with the Luciferian movement (Devil worship) because they seek to go against men, nature and even humanity itself.
These ancient gods and goddesses were, and are, real. They are in fact tetraploid humans and the highest ranking female tetraplold humans holds the office of Lucifer. With the exception of a few religions (Muslims, various indigenous peoples), they are all Persian based religions and are concerned with Diva worship, even Catholicism which worships MARY, not Jesus.
From what I’ve read, the Salem incidents most likely were caused by ergot fungus on rye seeds made into bread, as that can cause all the same physical symptoms.
How sad that groups of groups of vandals use “religion” as an excuse or motivation to damage things that are preserved to inform us of our heritage. ISIS did the same in Iraq. People that don’t quite fit in with society always seem to gravitate to radical anti-social behavior, and it’s easy to attribute that to religious beliefs. The atrocities that are or have been done in the name of religion are the reason I’ve lost faith in organized religion as a whole, and some of the most popular are some of the worst offenders.
Differences in beliefs, primarily religions have been the root causes of nearly all wars and have resulted in the deaths of countless millions of people. Maybe humans are programmed that way, as a means of population control.
Wankers. Those prehistoric sites predate the arrival the Anglo-Saxons and their gods by thousands of years. You can't reclaim something that was never your's in the first place.
I'd be more than happy to repatriate these idiots to parts of Denmark and northern Germany that their supposed ancestors came from. But then I'd feel sorry for the modern day inhabitants of those lands.
That is a good question. In my humble opinion there is a common recurring theme that is promoted on this site, it becomes quite apparent after a while. Many of the articles are not really related to historical or archaeological ancient origins at all, but rather to do with the occult, nominally appearing as articles related to history and archaeology etc. Whether such anomalies are accidental or intentional (whether the chances of the repeat co-incidence are merely just that etc etc) who is to say. It's a shame because some of the articles that have been written are really quite good.
Shakespeare is a fantasy writer. Antony and Cleopatra was a drama with functionally no historical grounding of details and it is extraordinarily unlikely that he had any actual Egyptian sources for that, just Roman. Are we to expect that Theseus was a real person who is accurately depicted in Midsummer Night's Dream?
How many tombs have been found and left ? So the academia feels that they have a right to all these tombs but common everyday people do not? What about those who can not travel, what about those who would never get into history because they can not go, but those same people who can view it in it's new place turn towards history. Contrary to popular belief, to preserve something does not mean it has to be left where it is. Things are preserved be sharing, the culture, the ideas and the times. People will not go out of their way for something they have a passing intrest in, however none of you get to determine that. It is not yours, it's Egypt's, it's the people's not the academics.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

Glad to see they have categorized the items with their modern interpretation of what they look like.

And, this is on an archaeological site, because...why?
Castle acre would be a good name for a retirement property... Then it too would be haunted, except with old people. That was a joke.
There were no white-skinned people living in Africa. If you are not depicting people of color in Africa, your site is fraudulent.

No way this should happen. Let the tourists go to the sites of tombs etc. So not break them up to be put into a sterile environment
