I'm an Odinist because Odin is the chief god I pray to. I'm not racist in the least. Also, I noticed one of your facts is wonky, Odin and Thor are not "in competition" for chief of and father of the gods. I believe you're thinking of Odin and Týr. Also, the Odinists and heathens I associate with and I have disavowed the AFA for a while now specifically for their particular brand of stupidity. Please dont lump us all in the same category, thank you.
In the biblical story of the Tower of Babel they tell us that everyone spoke one language, I believe it was telepathy! The stories tell of people living for hundreds of years. Do to the electromagnetic fields created by hydrogen and the magnetic field lines that exist thousands of feet above our heads called plasma tubes, I believe that the ocean levels were lower and the plasma tubes surrounding the planet were lower as well. This would explain the “Gods “ visiting and the planets “heaven” on earth. The electromagnetic spectrum or field was in constant contact with the planet allowing you to live in a “perfect harmony” with the light or space time! The Tower of Babel would be needed to connect with the electromagnetic field lines or plasma tubes forced away from the surface of the earth by the rise of the oceans and the energy created by hydrogen. There would have been no ground to sky lightning in those days. This could also be related to Stonehenge!
Noah’s Ark and Atlantis – there are uncounted theories postulated as to their location(s) by so many experts that it’s difficult to keep track of them. Maybe they were real, maybe not. I personally believe they both were based on reality, but so far back in time that they are difficult to prove. I sincerely hope that researchers with greater resources than I continue to hunt for the elusive proof.
I’m just curious if you’d be interest in what I’ve found. You won’t believe it. I’ve been working on this for many years, I devote all my time to it. I’d like to share my findings with someone interested. And actually believes (or knows) the genealogies were not that at all. Not a waste of reading time at all, if you’re interested in knowing the complete solution to the puzzle. Much more astonishing than my previous findings. I’ve basically solved the complete meaning. Although some minor details haven’t been worked out. And in reply to the comment above, the words were never names. Whoever wrote it, wrote it a story of creation, which didn’t involve people. I don’t know if older pictograph writings were found and mistranslated, or those that wrote much of the bible knew all along it was symbolic. But if you check online, numbers have always been much easier to decipher. It would have been much easier to assume they were names when the numbers were found.

The writer makes light of the impact of the longbow, suggestion that crossbows were more deadly. At short range the crossbow had good hitting power, but the bolt lost impetus quite quickly and was of little use at longer distances, The shafts from a longbow were effective throughout its whole range, which was between 200 and 300 yards. Different types of arrowhead were developed which dealt well with different types of armour. However complete penetration was not always necessary as blunt trauma could kill, or at least take a knight off his feet - many were unable to rise and suffocated in the mud, The longbow could also be used rapidly, the crossbowman needed a pavise projection while he laboriously spanned the bow for the next shot. Experiments have proved the penetration capabilities of the longbow, while it is known that many longbowmen were capable of sending an arrow into the small slits between the plates of armour, or into a visor.
The story of Cicero is plausible, because although Archimedes is best known for the principle of buoyancy, the helix and the contraptions he invented to battle Romans, he was first and foremost a mathematician, and he would have been probably most proud about the discovery of the ratio of surfaces and volumes (both equal to 2/3) of a sphere inside and just touching all the sides of a cube.
I think I see your mistake. You have not taken precession of the equinoxes into account. At 10000 BC the spring equinox occurs on the 7th June. You will find Leo precedes sunrise at this time. See my channel on YouTube for how to use Stellarium to locate the sostices and equinoxes https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx11KXwumf5w8J-GdBGKNVA/featured
Maybe yes, maybe not, Mr Jones is aware of the impressive work of Felice Vinci that in 1995 wrote an essay now at its fifth edition and also translated in english (Felice Vinci, The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales. The Iliad, the Odyssey and the Migration of Myth, translation by Amalia De Francesco, 2006). I think that would be very interesting for each the authors an exchange of informations. For my part I'm sure that their theories are correct. The tales of Homer were imported into the mediterranean world many years after they happened due to great migrations from the north probably caused by dramatic climate changes,
The Denisovans could have made it to America, but very little is known. Traces of Denisovan DNA may have arrived with Homo sapiens. A better candidate for an early migration is Homo erectus. The first members left Africa more than 1 million years ago. Homo erectus is confirmed in northern China (Beijing) 750.000 years ago. Time enough to walk to America, as did lots of other species like the horse, bison, brown bear,red deer, reindeer (caribou) in two directions. They were hunters, they just followed their food.
I think the author is missing the point. And the point is that Iliad is a poem, althought based most probably on facts. Obviously, Greek land and climate are not the same as they were more that 3000 years ago, and should not be forgotten that a major deforestation of the Greek land took place much later, during the Persian wars. The same is true for the coastline, either because of estuaries or because the sea was more than a meter lower than it is today. The Homeric dark wine color of the sea was actually purple, as all ancient cultures had some problems naming particular colors, especially the blue. Similarly, as about the complex of the people, no one takes today literarily the medieval "bue blood" nobles, or the red skin native Americans. And of course, all sailing courses mentioned by Homer are very consistent either by time or by the name of the landscapes, with the Aegean sea.
I wish I had paid attention to the author’s name when I started reading the article. I have no respect for someone who only cites her own books as reference
Thanks for the article. I don't think evolution should be thought of as liner. Also, hunter/gatherers could easily retrace their path of migration in their search for food
Thank you for your comment. Such peer reviewing of content is welcomed at Ancient Origins, as we do publish work expressing a wide spectrum of opinion and exploration of ideas. At the beginning of Part 1 of this piece, the author states, “In contrast to many theorists, this retelling of key parts of the Epic explores the idea that Gilgamesh was not searching for life eternal on Earth, as has been suggested as the theme of the Epic, but was instead searching for the means of transport to return to his goddess mother Ninsun’s home planet in the heavens.” As such, it is an interpretation of the text. “In contrast to many theorists” makes it clear that it is not the standard interpretation. The introduction to this second part of the piece has now been adapted to make this clear. Thank you for highlighting this omission. The statement by the author in the last 2 paragraphs is the authors opinion not that of Ancient Origins.

Good grief almost every image was from battle of the Nations the opposing organization of the imcf.
Good grief people.
The evidence for these jars being funerary in purpose seems very thin.

Where Troy Once Stood by Iman Jacob Wilkens makes the claim that Troy was in Britain so this theory is actually in good company
Wilkens' book is compelling, as is this article
I think the author is missing the point. And the point is that Iliad is a poem, althought based most probably on facts. Obviously, Greek land and climate are not the same as they were more that 3000 years ago, and should not be forgotten that a major deforestation of the Greek land took place much later, during the Persian wars.
