Baloney. The whole theory of Neanderthal-Homosapien mixture was based on the supposition that Africans had none of the genes presumes to be Neanderthal. At this point we really don't know that the presumably Neanderthal genes are actually that. I predicted they would find these genes in Africans years ago.
I think that the Urfa man is actually a woman, and he is not holding his genitals, rather she is holding a baby, a new born.
holding the baby by the and you can see arms and legs, the top part of the baby is gone, it may have been broken off.
I am not sure why the statues are all assumed to be men, holding the belly is a woman pose related to fertility, it is almost instinctive for a woman to hold protectively her belly while she is pregnant .
just a thought
The story of Marcum is NOT accurate. There is a 1st telling of creation. Told by Marduk's father EA. Was told generations after the tower of Babel. A LOT more was told. When Marduk became ruler of Babylon he had the story re-written
I have now read the updated article. The story of coming to power of Darius is clearly from Herdotus and the Bistun incription but where does this none sense about the immigrant tribe of Magi come from. If you have any serious source how does it compare to the current accepted view of this event? We know that like India Iranian society had a priestly class, the evidance for this right up to the Arab invasion is overwhelming. This nonesense about a persian holocust is totally false and in the context of the current Zionist issues with Iran highly political. Your motivation in presenting this falsehood brings your credintials as a person writing Historical articles into serious question.
I didn't realise there were two stones! Thanks. The pictured stone may relate to Draco, what remarkable is that this may be referring to precession and they have the celestial axis pretty close. I've considered the top illustration which seems to be alignment if one of the astronomers can identify the planets then it may assist to date the stone. This seems to relate to an eclipse and possible venus crossing the sun, possibly mercury - this alignment would be very rare and why they want to record it.
I've written a couple of articles and there is a link with islands in deep antiquity. This is not at as far-fetched as it may seem, trade was good before bronze age collapse, the Minoan tech seems to have transferred to the Phoenicians which resume trade. TAke a look at https://www.quora.com/What-caused-the-fall-of-the-Minoan-civilization/an... https://www.quora.com/What-was-the-significance-of-snakes-in-Minoan-cult... https://www.quora.com/Is-the-Antikythera-mechanism-overhyped
These articles are about MInoan tech but do touch on transfer to Phoenicia that in this articles context is interesting.
I would like to point out the remarkable similarity of the "Bannerstones" to the ancient Cretan ceremonial double axe or “Labrys”. It is known that there is a strong presence of the X haplogroup in Mitchingan area, as well as in East Mediterranean (where the Greek island of Crete lays) and this, among other things (as the double axes, for example) can lead to the speculation of "ties" between these places, many thousands of years ago.
Ploutarch in Moralia, “The face of the moon”, passage 941, writes about the "great continent to the west", where the Greeks had landed well before his time.
Just food for thought.

Marcelle Levy, I am not a muslim but I live in a muslim country. Suleiman the Great of the Ottoman Empire could of course have a harem but that does not mean Islam sanctioned the practice of concubinage. In Islam there exists only marriage and the maximum a man could marry is 4.
You're right. The 4 wives in Islam are all wives and of equal standing. The writer was wrong to call the other 3 wives concubines. The children of all 4 women are of equal status. The inheritance laws in Islam are clear-cut.
The women in the harems of Muslim heads of state are indeed concubines.
Veronica Parkes, Did you edit your work at all? You wrote :-
"...Lady Wan, out of jealousy over Chenghua being named Hongzhi’s heir. Prior to this Lady Wan had murdered as many of the Emperor’s children as she could find, often killing the mothers as well in an attempt to gain favour for her never-to-be-born son. As such, Chenghua saw the damage that could come from having too many concubines and giving them power and prominence within the imperial house. As such, he only has two empresses, one after the other, and there is no documentation to suggest that he was as violent, torturous, or evil as any of the other Ming Emperors."
Chenghua was the father of Hongzhi but your first sentence in the quotation indicated that Hongzhi was the father. Chenghua was a debauched emperor while Hongzhi had a monogamous marriage to his empress. Kindly check your facts before posting. How do readers trust your site if you make such glaring mistakes???
In the case of China they were not simply castrated. If so they could indeed still service women but will not be able to impregnate them. In the harems of China they remove not only the penis but also the scrotum. This is the reason why many of them suffer from incontinence,smell bad and are shunned by courtiers who are whole men and they despise the eunuchs.
Every year these eunuch are checked to make sure their penises/scrotum don't grow back LOL as if they could. The emperor is not going to allow his women to play with the eunuchs. You want an easy life you got to accept the fact that you'll be sleeping alone almost every night hah.
The water came out of the earth when the fountains of the deep broke up. The waters violently exploded out under great pressure and soared high into the atmosphere. This left a great void which over several months settled downward making the ocean basins much deeper than they had been. The flood waters are literally right in front of our eyes...if we live along a beach.
Your mention the Odinism grew from something that was once peaceful may fail to take into account that Odin is a God of War. His main role is to create strife between men so they will fight and die. Odin then chooses the best of the dead warriors and takes them to Valhalla where they train and party until Valhalla where the Odins army will be defeated in the final battle of mankind. NOT a peaceful religion. But also not racist!
So, what we've been taught for years, that the Greeks originated the idea of atoms, is wrong? The Indians came up with it first?
"the fifth century BCE by Leucippus and Democritus. The Greeks called these particles atomos, meaning indivisible, and the modern word “atom” is derived from this term"
"Iron armor was predominant in the West from the Greek Dark Age beginning around 1200 BC to the time that firearms made it obsolete. "
The Greeks used linothorax. In the rest of Europe there is evidence of cloth armor being used (gambeson/aketon) by itself and with other materials. All of these provided resistance to cuts, punctures, and and blunt trauma.
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

Look into the dna of king tut, hardly african.

Noah had no choice in the latter. He was a passenger in an unsteerable barge. He was not the pilot. The ark had no motor, sails or rudder.
God placed the ark where ever it rested.

Because the Biblical account is derived from the Sumerian account.
The mudra which is said to be of Buddha, actually existed even before him(I need not mention seperately but Buddhism is very much a part of Hinduism as Buddha is said to be an avatar of Lord Vishnu, later somehow due political influences it was made a religion. What Buddha taught was principles of life). Mudra's are an important part of pranayam. The mudra shown above for driving away evil spirits is "Apana mudra" which is good for digestion and detox. I am giving some links for better understanding - 1) https://chopra.com/articles/10-powerful-mudras-and-how-to-use-them 2) https://www.hindujagruti.org/hinduism/knowledge/article/how-does-mudra-a... 3)https://www.artofliving.org/in-en/yoga/health-and-wellness/mudras-yoga-a...
India is a vast and diverse country, not sure which part of India you are referring to but in most part thumbs up is usually to wish luck.
