    I was about to say exactly the same. It is sad how the important celtic holiday celebrating coming of winter and "dying" of the Nature transformed under lenses of Christianity or capitalism.

    Yes it is important day connected with dead and ancestors, for they come to the world of living and we can meet them. It is good time to meditate about our own mortality and remind ourselves that if there was not for our ancestors we would not be here. And that one day, we will become ancestors as well and pass the torch to following generation.

    There is nothing evil or demonic about death. It is necessary part of the cycle.

  • Reply to: Deciphering The Newton Stone’s Mysterious “Unknown Script”   5 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Further info

    The Newton stones seems to be related to astronomy. Some symbols are know in me iconography. Circles with a dot: Venus. Swastika (not what it means today, North, it is a reference to the Plough in cardinal directions (timeless). I wonder if the markings record the motions of a celstal bodies which should be reasonably easy to identify. This is an important artefact.

    Halloween is no more evil then December 25th is good. Show me the passage in the bible that says either is true. A bunch of archaic wives tails don't equate to truth. IF you're scared of scary things maybe you should be rallying to have gargoyles removed from churches instead of making baseless claims about a holiday that's only demonic because your culture decided it should be so.

    Shia don't believe "that Muhammad had an ancestor – Ali ibn Abi Talib" because A. Ali Ibn Abi Talib is his cousin, not ancestor.. And B. the Shia belief is that Ali Ibn Abi Talib is the rightful successor to the Prophet.

    This just show how stupid the worshippers of the devil are. Halloween has nothing to do with Satan, it's a celtic holy day where the door between the world of the living and the world of the spirits were supposed to open, and its original name is "Samhain".

    Educate yourself, please, before spreeding filthy beliefs.

  • Reply to: Incas, mystery of interlocking walls   5 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: morgar54

    Lets face it, we have no concept of the technology used to produce the cyclopean walls. Rock hammers and copper chisels and multiple fittings just don’t make sense. The Inca told the Spanish conquerors they did not build them, that they were there long before.

    Just watched a program on Geographic channel last night which had the Inca building them – how wrong to push that agenda simply because they can’t explain it any other way. They just can’t be honest and say they are not sure. I’m not convinced aliens did it or even helped, but what about the possibility of an advanced civilization many thousands of years ago that was wiped out by some calamity? Lack of artifacts to support that? A lot of Ooparts are discounted because mainstream archealogy just can’t believe the provenance, or discredits it because it does not agree with their theories.

    morgar but all for now

     

  • Reply to: Comanche Tribe History is One of Conquest   5 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: morgar54

    Uninformed readers could be led to believe that Commanches were responsible for exterminating buffalo – not true. They killed ones as needed and utilized almost every part of the carcass as part of their survival. Millions of those magnificent animals were slaughtered by anglo hunters (think Buffalo Bill) for nothing more than their hides. Their bodies were left on the plains to rot until some years later many of the bones were collected and sold for fertilizer.

    How much money is sufficient to compensate for the years of suffering, misery, and indignities heaped upon the peoples who populated the Americas before the arrival of Europeans? In many cases, knowledge that was much more advanced than anywhere else in the world was discarded and destroyed, and innumerable wealth and art was plundered and stolen.

    Could the Khanate have travelled as far as Canada? Could they be the Kennites?

    >You’re talking about Masonic foundations made manifest in Mayan cultures.

     

    Not Masonic Masons, Stone Masons. Masonic Masons came in much later on the time line. The Mayan and Egyptian temples are of the same construction, the same alignment and built in cubits. Cubits and cultures in different ratios, yes. The Mayan civilization rose about 150 years after Cyrus conquered, this written as logic suggests. This response was at a glance, I'll have add to this response after I sort your option. Thanks for the engagement.

    Cubits and applied methodology Is the joint link between the Americas and Egypt . Knowledge of mathematics, of one source. Definitely not a spawned theory.

     

    In perspective of a time line, Cyrus came to rule in 352 B.C. Stone masons and that way of life for over 2500 years earlier, displaced. Alexander The Great came to rule in 150 B.C. and founded Alexandria containing conquered knowledge, this occurred the library of. In and about the same time, Stone masons or the math thereof took root in central America. Knowledge most definitively jumped continents. Searching for DNA attributed to cubits would be similar to searching for the missing link.  For an example, Free Masonry as it is known today is in multiple DNA. One thousand years after this time in 926 A.D which became the basis on which all subsequent Masonic Constitutions were framed, a reunification of this craft begins to take place. With that said, we are talking centuries of culture deployment with governing peoples coming up with unique ways to rule. You only need to look at the influence that Columbus delivered to indigenous people.

    Stone masonry craft built for the Pharaohs, God and strived in geometric perfection. This knowledge was passed down through social units around the globe. How it intertwined in religious beliefs and architecture would need more research but it is evident. This in context with the thread Cubits reply date 10/18/18. Your point about the wheel is valid. First thought would be, they view it as technology that collapsed civilization however it is not uncommon for societies to do this, take for instance Earthing or the Amish. Perhaps the fertile ground proved to be to impregnable with rain. Many things could be considered here.

    Hello Auntie, I’m in Arizona too, was interested in your posts. Have you ever gotten answers to your questions about Ooparts, Newman and MacTonnies? I’m not familiar with that one, but I suspect Newman refers to Hugh, a researcher and writer – has several books published; and Ooparts refers to Out-of-place artifacts – things like the London hammer and a brass bell found in really old coal – things that do not fit any commonly accepted explanation of how they got to the places in which they were found. There are a few out there that are really bizarre, like a small ceramic doll/figurine found 3000 feet deep in strata supposedly millions of years old. Have fun learning!

    There is no mystery about similarities between Buddhism and Christianity. By the time that Christ came along Buddhist ideas had been around for over 600 years, Christianity simply borrowed them!

  • Reply to: Did Pliny Get It Wrong? Inscription Points to a Later Date for the Destruction of Pompeii   5 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: robt

    Well, if you really want to get into it, agonizing detail is here, including speculation about vegetation, coinage, astronomy, etc in an attempt to validate, or invalidate Pliny the Younger's date, which is after all just recorded in copies, not, of course, the original letter to Tacitus. Unfortunately, no copies of Tacitus' Histories beyond part of Book 5, ending in 70 AD are preserved, so no corresponding record of Pliny's letter exists in the Tacitus writings):
    Analysis, beginning at C PLINIUS TACITO: https://quemdixerechaos.com/2012/11/28/translatingplinypt3/
    (the translation of the date, Nonum kal. Septembres, appears in Part 4)

    An original Medieval Transcription, here: http://teca.bmlonline.it/ImageViewer/servlet/ImageViewer?idr=TECA0000548...

    The date is second line from the bottom, page xi: 'Nonum kal. Septembres', i.e. 24th August.

    Tuesday is from Things-day or Þing-day. In Dutch "Dinsdag" in German "Dienstag".
    Sunday was for praising the imaginary entities somewhere in the sky, and the second day was for settling disputes at a meeting.

    In Iceland they stil have Þingvellir or Thingvellir, In Friesland there was a "Grietenij" (County) called "Utingeradeel", near Oldeboorn. The name has disappeared after the use of more than a millennia. The word "Thing" can easliy be found in U-ting-eradeel, freely translated to Location of central Court.

    It is stil common to use "Geding" for a legal procedure, and "Dinghuis" translates into Þing-house, or nowadays the "Court"

    The author mentions “the date of the manuscript” but does not state what that date is. I wonder if this is a later saga. He says that it is in the Christian era so is it possible that the author was trying to discredit the Norse heroes

  • Reply to: Paradigm Shift Required? 3-Fingered Mummified Humanoid Found in Peru May Change the Story of Human Origins   5 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: morgar54

    The person who originally reported to have ‘discovered’ these mummies has been reported to have fronted other bogus ‘findings’, and reputable researchers have have discredited his findings on other occasions as well. By all accounts, it is a well made fake, with real bones inside, but not at all what it is purported to be.
