  • Reply to: How A Handful of Yamnaya Culture Nomads Became the Fathers of Europe   4 years 10 months ago
    Comment Author: marc verhaegen

    No doubt the Yamna (Ukrainian for 'pit') or Yamnaya (Russian for 'pit') people spoke an Indo-European language. In 1997, I argued that c 3000 BC, PIE (or even proto-Germanic?) was spoken on the Ukrainian steppes by the Corded Ware people:
    The Dutch words 'touw' & 'tooi' have the same etymology, but their meaning is quite different ('touw' means cord, 'tooi' means ornament), they're related to 'tooien' (to decorate), 'voltooien' (to complete), German 'Tau' (cord), Gothic 'taujan' (to complete/make), runic (on the Gallehus horn, Jutland AD 400) 'ek horna tawido' (I horn decorated/made/finished = Dutch 'ik hoorn tooide'). Weak verbs in Germanic frequently derived from nouns by '-i/j-' (cf PIE suffix '-ei/i-', denominative), '-ian/jan' in the infinitive. Proto-Germanic 'taujan' thus meant: to use a cord, or more specifically: to finish by decorating with a cord. Later, when the connection with a cord was lost (when the corded wear had disappeared), the meaning generalised to: to decorate, or to complete, as in Dutch '(vol)tooien'.

    Yes! Those are both excellent movies. Detective Dee (also on Netflix) is a series of Chinese movies about a paranormal detective who is a Taoist sorceor but would also certainly count as an Onmyoji in his basic practices. And, of course, there are various anime series as well.

    Plato told us that Atatlantis's naval fleet consisted of 1200 warships, and he also explained how they were manned.
    The biblical flood and Noah's Ark is not 50,000 years old, but these stories probably stem from the latest part of the Ice Age, "The Younger Dryas", from 12,800 to 11,600 for the present.

    Under "The Younger Dryas", the sea level rose 120 meters (400 feet), and 90% of people were exterminated, North America was burned off, and Clovis Indians ceased to exist.

    Before "TYD", Asia and the United States / Canada were connected, and people could migrate back and forth, both ways.

    Just as most of their stories the stole them from the sumerians and modified it to suit their needs. Samson is based on gilgamesh. The Israelite style almost all their stories from the sumerians and altered them

    I am also familiar with the two Japanese movies re: Onmyoji I and II which are delights. Still available on DVD.

    The flint appears to be on the inside curve of the rib making the amount of tissue penetrated much greater than just the skin and Hair.

    Vlad dealt with the Janissaries the only way that impacted them and it worked. For this history has relegated him to the bottom. Had he not done so and the Janissary had won there would be no remembrance at all.

  • Reply to: Debunking the Aryan Race “Myth” and Separating Fact from Fiction   4 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Greg

    No doubt the aryan people was the ancestors of caucasian / Jewish white supremacy who initiated none white aka Black civilisations destruction. they did it with the melanted black Egypt, Dravidian Indu empire and later on panicked the genocide of Aboriginal people of Australia, collapse of Incas and Aztec civilisation.
    This same racist agenda continued in the present time with colonisation in Africa, apartheid, police brutality and mass incarceration. They are the founders of the racist tradition culture precious to arabs, jews and Europeans white supremacists.

    We should recognize that we modern humans view continents as separated by seas; rather than connected by them. Land travel was not practicable due to unsure supplies, the difficulty of carrying supplies, rough terrain, and very dangerous wildlife. Boat travel along the shore is easy, fast, and safe, as modern northerners know very well.
    There are much older haplogroups in the western hemisphere that trace to Southeast Asia/Australia. These genetic traces are so old and newly discovered that they haven't been named yet. They predate Denisovan, Heidelburgensis, and Neanderthal; and also predate the estimates of the "out of Africa" hypothesis.

    To put things into perspective. The current legal definition of a famine is this. That at least 20 per cent of households in an area face extreme food shortages with a limited ability to cope; acute malnutrition rates exceed 30 per cent; and the death rate exceeds two persons per day per 10,000 persons.

    It is tie to put this sacred tree off limits to all. Now you must protect and but your horticulturist to work to try and save the tree. Quite talking about it and get to work. There has to be a way to save at least parts of the tree and that will sustain the life of the original IN PLACE...

    THE ONE THING OTHERS WILL NOT GET OF OURSELVES IS CORRECT INTERPRETATION AND CATEGORIZATION BY THE SAME COMMON WORDS SO EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO DESCRIBE US BY EVEN THOUGH DEMEANING MOST OF THEM IN INSTITUTIONAL CANNONS.

    IT'S EASY TO SKIP ALL AROUND THE PLACE ELUSIVELY TO ESCAPE THE ONLY TRUTH. ALL OF THE PLACES IN THE CONTIGUOUS AFRICA AND ACROSS THE MEDITERANIAN WERE DESTROYED BY WHITES AND RENAMED. INCLUDING THE NAMES OF OUR MONOTHEISTIC DEITY.

    A PEOPLE THAT TRADED IN MANY THINGS COULD BE NAMED AFTER ONE ITEM OF THE MULTITUDES INSTEAD OF IT BEING LOGICALLY PRESUMED THAT ITS NAME WAS REFLECTIVE OF THEIR COLOUR. KEMET EGYPT ALSO HINTS TO PRIDE IN THE DISTINGUISHING COLOUR ASSOCIATION.

    THEIR LANGUAGE WAS SEMITIC ALSO AND THEY PREDATE THE GREEK CIVILIZATION. THE OTHER FAILURES IN YOUR PIECE IS TO GREEK REFERENCES TO PLACES AND YOUR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF CHRONOLOGY. GEBAL IS ACTUALLY BYBLOS. SO THE ARABS WHOM ARE DESCENDANTS OF AFRICAN JEW WOMEN ARE MORE CORRECT THAN THE GREEKS WHO RENAMED IT NAFARIOUSLY.

    EVERYTHING WAS RACIALLY MOTIVATED - POINT BLANK. HITTITES ARE WHITES AND SO ARE THE EDOMITES, GENTILES, ASSYRIANS, BARBARIANS, GAULICS, OSTRE-GOTHS , VISI-GOTHS ("GOD": GOOD, GOODNESS), SLAVS, ALEXANDER THE HATE, AND IN 1500 BC AND 624 BC WHITE MEN GAINED THE PHARAONIC THRONE THROUGH WARS. IT WAS THIS EARLY MILLENIA BC PERIODS THAT INTRODUCED PAGANISM AND MISOGENATION TO CREATE THE EVE STORY PARABLE IN THE BIBLE TODAY : SUBJUGATION TO HER HUSBAND A WHITE MAN OF COURSE IN A PATERNALISTIC AND POLYTHEISTIC PAGANIST WAY OF LIFE.

    CAIN AND ABLE
    GENTILE AND JEW
    NORTHERN KINGDOM AND SOUTHERN KINGDOM
    ESSAU AND YACOB
    WHITE AND "BLACK"
    BAD AND GOOD
    CURSED AND BLESSED

    YOU SCIENTISTS OUT THERE NEED TO GET REAL WITH YOUR TRUTH YOUR CONSCIENCE. IF THE GERMANS CREATED THEIR ALPHABET IN 400 AD AND THE GREEKS LEARNED TO WRITE FROM THE PHOENICIANS THEN WOULD NOT THAT COVER A MULTITUDE OF IGNORANCE SANDWICH?

  • Reply to: Dissolving Myths: Vikings Did NOT Hide Behind Shield Walls   4 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Wade Whitlock

    The Svinfylking formation is essentially the same as the Zulu Bull head. A center mass to fix and control the enemy and horns, wings, tusks to encircle the enemy and attack from the sides and rear. The Zulu shield was basically rawhide fastened to a center rod . It was used as a deflector and weapon.

    In either case, the shields were not used in the same way a European Medieval shield would be, as a defensive structure. Thin or flexible "shields" are best used to disguise moves or to confuse an enemy with two attacks simultaneously.

    Comment Author: Kurtis Engle

    I've heard the story many times. First I've ever heard of a god slaughtered. (that is from the Bible) And you overlook the very obvious. The story is told by someone looking over it. Not living under it.

    So. What does that mean?

    Comment Author: Jeff S

    Perhaps you've used a mystical form of arithmetic, but if these temples were constructed in 3600 B.C., that makes them about 5600 years old, not "more than 6000 years old"...

    If the archaeologists would STOP muddling the water with their very own (precious) religious speculations, we might actually be able to understand our history.

  • Reply to: Maat: Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Justice and Morality   4 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Gary Manners

    I’m not sure, maybe because the gods were aliens or something. I do take your point though and shouldn’t be flippant. The origins of these archetypes is important and so is getting to the bottom of their representations. Maat doesn’t seem to be represented with particularly dark skin. However, it is hard to source images of ancient beings that are just right. If European, she is certainly on the exotic side. She has the correct type of head piece and accessories though, I think that’s what was concentrated on as it is more clearly represented in the ancient depictions. Any other suggestions for better images that are free to use would be welcome. Thanks for your comment.
