    If you think it is printed upside down because you expect the writing to be placed on top of the line, then not necessarily as some scripts are written with the text hanging down from the line. An example is devanagari used for Sanskrit and derivative languages. When I first looked, I must say it looked like an Indic script to me, but the article plumps for Kufic. Well, I am certainly no expert on that subject but to my eyes the stone's script looks nothing like the example of Kufic shown

    Whine, whine, whine. Why not do something productive with your lives rather than tear down statues. I don't like it in the USA and I don't like it overseas. Leave the statues as they are.

  • Reply to: Rh-Negative Blood: An Exotic Bloodline or Random Mutation?   5 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: DIANA DRAKULICH

    Several studies have been done showing that TOXOPLASMOSIS decreases reactions of RH Negative Blood Type, instead of protecting against Toxoplasmosis as this article claims. RH Negatives are MORE PRONE to Toxoplasmosis and negatively affected by it.

    Sadly the whole article reeks of `mainstream' science excuses for the existence of RH Negative. Just shut the door on it as a `natural mutation'. Easier that way.

    The author needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.

  • Reply to: Was the Emperor Constantine a True Christian or Was He a Secret Pagan?   5 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: Steve Byrd1

    So, in other words, Constantine paganized true Christianity. This seems to be what this article is saying. If this is true then the Catholic church did not even exist until around 320 A.D. A lot of questions come to mind.

    I would think that the early Christians would have used the Jewish (Hebrew) calendar which would have made the Sabbath on Friday

    Ceramic technology has travelled the world for millennia. When Europeans visited Japan in the modern era, they were fascinated by certain green ceramic ware.
    The artisans’ skill had been brought from China. But China had got it from further west. The Romans had been making these items, and they had got it from the Egyptians.
    A thousand years ago, the English were making these items, but when they went out of fashion, the craft was lost.

    Thank you for a great article.
    some thoughts:
    Interesting that her magnetized room key was pulled to the submerged "box." I don't believe any of the pyramids were tombs. A lot of very clever people have hypothesized they are ancient power sources, I am inclined to agree.
    Pity she didn't include photos of the inscriptions on the boxes she referenced (I doubt they are crypts). Several of the same poeple who believe the pyramids are power sources have noted they contain oxen bones.

    No archaeological evidence has been uncovered, it's 'inconclusive' at best. The archaeologists have no choice but to rely on the ASC, an unreliable source written in the mid 1100s, three hundred years or more after the invasion that seems to have left no footprint.

    this appears to be a hastily written, stilted and grammatically incorrect article. It should be pulled and re-written

  • Reply to: Social Consequences of the Thirty Years' War: Was it Worth it?   5 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: para.realist

    Europe
    It appears that this use of Hebrew religion to encourage genocide and the killing of innocents, has it's beginnings in the overthrow of Black rule in Europe and the substitution of the Albino created "Protest" religions (Protestantism) in Europe.
    In the 1500s Martin Luther and other Albinos had rebelled against the Black Catholic Church, then under the protection of the "Black Holy Roman Empire" headquartered in Germany. The Reformation as the Albinos called it: specifically referred to as the Protestant Reformation, was a schism in Western Christianity initiated by Martin Luther and continued by John Calvin, Huldrych Zwingli, and other early Protestant Reformers in 16th-century Europe.
    It is usually considered to have started with the publication of the Ninety-five Theses by Luther in 1517 and lasted until the end of the "Thirty Years" War with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
    It was this war, where all the Albinos across Europe, ganged-up on the Black Holy Roman Empire, which killed-off millions of Black Europeans, and resulted in most of the survivors being shipped to the Americas as slaves or Indentures. This caused the fall of Black rule in Europe, and the usurping and rewriting of Black religion.
    The Thirty Years’ War from 1618 to 1648 produced an amazing amount of casualties. It raged between Protestants and Catholics swirling around the Holy Roman Empire or Western Rome. Eventually major powers entered the war, Spain, Sweden, Dutch forces, Germany, Saxony, Bavaria, and France all poured resources and soldiers into this war.
    It was one of the most complex wars ever fought and it resulted at the low estimate in about 8 million deaths. The overall reduction of (Black) population in the German states was typically 25% to 40%. Some regions were affected much more than others. For example, Württemberg lost three-quarters of its population during the war. In the territory of Brandenburg, the losses had amounted to half, while in some areas, an estimated two-thirds of the population died.

    It seems you are getting your info from the "official" sources, and we know their agenda do we not?
    Real truth is there hidden in plain sight, because people are too lazy to search, but just take from other's opinions, when the facts have been written about, even though these facts are usually ignored by the "official" media.

  • Reply to: OOPArts Found in Coal and Stone: Is There an Explanation for These Anomalous Bells, Chains, Walls and More?   5 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: Prysm

    Very interesting, I hadn't heard about some of these. It reminds me of one geologist claiming to have found deep ruts in stone that he said had been caused by some atv or something when the rock had still been mud, but only around 12-14 million years ago? They were in Turkey.

    Personally, I've always thought that 'modern' society evolved around 275,000-220,000 years ago, but was destroyed down to its most basic technological states several times. Several ancient societies have said that we're on either the 4th or 5th age of man.

    So there's a possibility that coal deposits, and other rocks, don't take nearly as long to form as we've thought? I'm sure there are coal deposits from that formed from 300 million years ago or so, and quite possibly there is coal that formed far more recently. Not quite sure I can wrap my head around intelligent beings, human or otherwise, living on earth 300 million years ago!

    The Black Stone was in Kaba before prophet Muhammad. But there was a flood and Kaba partially destroyed and when they rebuilt it, prophet Muhammad set the Stone in its place.

    Barry Fell in his book "Bronze Age America" describes the Ogham script on the Peterborough rock which is intermixed with later native additions. Worth a read.

    What if it predates Islam like the Kaaba of Mecca predates Islam? The script certainly would have predated Islam if it was widely used at Islam's founding.

    It does look similar to ancient Hebrew in many respects and we know the Hebrews were in northern Arabia before the start of Islam.

    The moral of the story being - don't let your enemies write the history of your people. Explorers, seafarers, and tradesmen should also be on their resume.

    I'm glad that Aruvqan included the Dervishes in his Comment. They came to my mind nearly immediately as I was reading the article as I have seen several videos thru the years on their customs. Thank you for your observation Aruvqan !

  • Reply to: The Naked Truth on Lady Godiva and Her Nude Ride to Help the Poor   5 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: Mike McCloud

    The article on Lady Godiva is good and tells many things we didn't learn 'in school' ! Very interesting also, was the drawing of 'Peeping Tom' who, it appears may have suffered before his presumed death. I noticed that he lacks a forearm on his right , while his left hand appears mutilated. Perhaps this was 'justice served' ; that Old Tom was also a predominantly right-handed 'groper' whose curiosity wasn't satisfied with merely 'a peek' ! So, did 'The Peeper' try to cop a feel ?!
