You've both got a point. I think that the common tendency of archaeologists to assume that they know all the basics of human history is egotistical at best. 'Humans all over the globe domesticated animals and started agriculture at THIS point in time, no sooner!' How do you know that for sure? Hint; you don't. They've based that on evidence they've found and recognized as such, but more evidence could still be out there, or it's in a form we don't recognize. They only dig so deep because they assume there's nothing more to find. And they often ignore the words of the ancestors of the people that they're studying as being nothing more but 'silly superstition and imaginative myths'. At that point, you've lost the whole point of what you set out to do in the first place, which is to learn about our past. You can't have one without the other. Something that drives me crazy is this assumption that before the start of 'recorded human history', humans were all primitive and 'stupid'. That modern humans somehow just dicked around for 300,000 some-odd years. It's silly. Look how far we've come in just 10,000 years. I feel that human history is far older and more interesting than we've been led to belive. Places like Africa, Central and South America were especially advanced, and there's evidence of it. If these caves show 'paint' that has been mixed with milk... I'd say that's a pretty good indication of domestication. How else would these ancestors have gotten their hands on milk? It's actually the most logical explanation. Which, from what VDSK is saying (thank you), sounds like it's what the indigenous people have been saying all along. Why are archaeologists so adverse to listening to oral history?!
Mark Miller: Well written article. Of course, you will be vilified by Indian advocates as a heretic. Pointing out to non-Indian readership that many but not all Indian tribes waged brutal wars against other Indian tribes to the point of genocide of the other Indian combatants is not a topic the current Indian advocates want published.
If it is true it proves not that the articles are millions of years old but that the coal was formed quickly, under immense pressure and within the last 6000 years? Either that or the stories are untrue. It's one or the other!
An honest article showing that although native americans have lost land to white people they did the same to other tribes with as must effect ... after all they nearly exterminated the Apache. It is time for all races to realize they are no better than the current enemy of white skins which currently dominate the planet. (and
by the AO why do we have to do seven Captcha exercises to get a submission?)
Hola, buenas noches. No tengo mucha idea para las matemáticas, pero, me fascina ver el trabajo de personas como Nikola Tesla y no me preguntes porque, cuando veo la gran pirámide me viene a la mente los diagramas de Tesla. Sobretodo ese que le llaman el mapa de multiplicaciones y aquel donde exponía la magnificencia de 3 6 y 9 en sus formas geométricas. Tu que eres matemático. Puedes comprobar si encaja? Así como anécdota. Gracias
Yep, gotta say it made laugh out loud! I was hoping the artical was going to cover the tools that had to be thought of first.prolly lots of mallets laying around, ya think. Might have called them hammer stones, and maybe drill , grinders. Looking for those tools and they are engraved or etched with figures, animals, maps, or perhaps a tool also used as a story stone. I have many. Had to reply n4 i searched again lol
While all native tribes worldiwde have been treated poorly let's not forget that the Lakota, after being forced west, displaced and took land of other tribes already there. Let's not forget that skin colour is never an issue in land taking unless it's a different skin colour that takes it!
I think that the reports of Josephus verify Jesus separate from the Bible, Jesus is and was a real person, he is not a representation of the sun, there is some serious misunderstanding of the Bible and Gods word in this article..
It looks like the waffle rock appearance came into existence by naturally formed crystalline structures, definitely not man-made. An in-depth geological anaylisis could defitively prove this.
The Phoenicians were the first to discover the secrets of astral navigation, trade winds, ocean currents, and trade routes. For several thousand years they kept these secrets. No one else could sail out of sight of land without getting lost. Like Odysseus.
The flat earth myth was only rife among people who did not live by the sea. (which was almost no one during the Ice Age). Anyone who has seen a tall ship sail over the horizon and disappear after @ 50 miles should be able to figure things out. World trade was done by Phoenicians, with the welcoming blessing of the nations. Example- abundant tin and copper from the western hemisphere, along with metallurgy skills, produced the Bronze Age. Cleopatra's voyage to Rome would have had a Phoenician pilot, checking his instruments only after dark and in complete privacy.
It is well known that the perception of colors evolves in regular progressions. Animals first begin to see only light and dark; then red; and then develop perception up the spectrum, with blue coming last in humans. The human perceptual system is still not comfortable with blue. It tends to fog our sight. Pilots and shooting marksmen wear yellow glasses, to filter out the confusing blue and clarify vision. Blue light in offices is associated with irritability. Blue light is also known by Ophthalmologists to be a culprit in the formation of cataracts.
There are plenty of animals which can see into the infra-red and ultra-violet spectra, which are still invisible to humans. Of course, we cannot imagine what a color we have never seen might look like?
So Indians may have invented the idea of atomic theory but certainly missed out on the concepts of basic sanitation. Instead of creating and worshiping all those imaginary gods, they should have developed toilets and bathrooms. Here it is 2018 and Indians still defecate in public like dogs. India is a filthy, disgusting, seething cesspool of humanity and excuse for a civilized country.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

Yeah, "allegedly" found in ...
Buddha was a stoner
He had the best grass in India
His eyes are lit in every depiction of him
Even his true followers today still partake in the sacrament
Religion poisons everything.
Maybe the hand sculpture was actually a prosthetic, affording the deceased a complete body in the afterlife.

Is there also a temple like this in Rome?
This is sciece-fiction. It is not true. A few people change the climate of the earth?? Please, common sense.

Wave particles by thought ? No..
I think this was an excellent read. Excellent history
