I remember the first article you wrote about the Adena people. To see this follow up in regards to Snake Mound, is awesome! Thank you both for including this marvel.
Hi David,
Just picked this up - sorry for delayed response. What you suggest makes so much sense, I too am starting to see that the stories which are often repeated with different names are often referring to constellations and in some cases planetary bodies. This makes complete sense, stories help kids to learn the constellations. The links are great, thanks for the info. Nick
This was an interesting article to read. As a student finishing up at university, I have studied biblical archaeology since it has a long extensive history in the Near East. Of course, I have come across information about the explorations and expeditions for biblical artifacts such as Noah’s Ark and the Ark of the Covenant. While the biblical account for Noah’s Ark is interesting and the Ark has been sought after for centuries, the probability of it still existing is slim and we must examine the context and the information we have about it.
First off, I would like to say that you did a great job at supporting the fact that “high educated people” believe that Noah’s Ark is resting on the top of the 17,000-foot mountain, Mount Ararat. I agree that it is an “illogical and unwarranted assumption,” simply because that account has been debunked repeatedly by researchers. You applied reasoning to the readers by asking them to think about the logicality of landing a ship on a mountain with no suitable habitat for the animals on the Ark. However, then the article and in my opinion, it was not as heavily supported.
The first problem, the location in question – 17 miles south of Mount Ararat – has already been put to through geological surveys and analyses. The “imprints” of the Ark have been determined to be geological formations formed by an earthquake that occurred in 1948. Additionally, the surrounding area was affected by another earthquake in 1978. Even when I looked at the photographs from the area in question, I see geological formations, not evidence of Noah’s Ark.
The second problem is that the Epic of Gilgamesh is cited as support for Noah’s Ark. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a Sumerian epic that was written approximately in 2100 BCE. However, what is important to note is that not only does the epic pre-dates the biblical account of Noah, but also in Gilgamesh 11 the shape of the ark was circular. Therefore, the imprint on the Mount Ararat cannot be Noah’s Ark, if you are supporting the claim with the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Lastly, I just want to point out the pictures of the reliefs that “depict” Ham’s wife, Naamah, are not depicting that at all. Those reliefs are of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love, beauty, sex, and war (c. 4000 BCE). She was later adopted by the Akkadians and was referred to as Ishtar; then she was referred to as “The Queen of the Night” during the reign of Hammurabi of Babylon (1792-1750 BCE). It is the same goddess just a different name. I could not find any other information linking Naamah to Inanna outside from the source that was provided. Furthermore, from what I learned in my studies the “mountain hat” is a crown or hat of horns – a common characteristic for Sumerian gods and goddess to be wearing to indicate divinity.
To conclude, I find it highly improbable that we will ever find Noah’s Ark, even though people will keep searching. The simple conclusion is that it is no longer archaeology to be looking for the Ark, it is treasure hunting. I am willing to discuss more on this topic if need to be.
I watched a docu about redhaired people in New Zealand prior to the Maori, having RH negative bloodtype and being bred out because the women lost most of their children. There were still people in the docu who knew this through oral history.
Last time i checked it could not be proven Jesus existed historically. In the gospel of Jude though, Jude says he recognizes Jesus as coming from a different planet. The Jesus being black theory is just that A theory.
You say you are related to all royal houses of Europe. As i understand the entire british royal house has RH negative blood. Possibly skipped a few generations. I would check your child's DNA. For i think i learned a RH positive father and a RH positive mother always have a RH positive child.
it could also be a reference to the Wolf Age, which is what Norse called that era. it was only others who called our ancestors Vikings and that period of time, the Viking Age.
Peter, that's interesting, thanks for a wonderful article. The 3rd-century fresco seems to harp back to earlier beliefs, especially among island folk. The dove's passage across, about a flowing tree of life. What is your interpretation of the figure from which this stems and the objects in hand? Do you know the cardinal directions of this inset? Thanks, Nick
There is abundant evidence that Italian city named Rome of our time first appeared after the Normans rule ended around thirteenth century. History of the location before that time has been forged later by the Catholic church as a propaganda to create their own false history after they made the location as their central location. http://www.arfaglobal.com/p/the-only.html
And now folks it is Syria's time to be looted and ancient artifacts shipped home by American, British and French troops. The POTUS comment is “stuff happens”. Blood boils.
How is it "insane" when they have no idea if Atlantis existed? Its just a theory,
in the same way their theory that Atlantis never existed. Just a theory.
Pine Valley mountain range...Dixie National Forest...possibly the largest laccolith on Earth which means tunnels and tubes all the way or near to where magma originates. Not to mention the south facing side of Pine Valley Mountain..the "Claron formation" looks an Aztec temple...and even has the shadow progression upon angled steps!

Some of those early helmets look actually aerodynamic. Maybe they helped charioteers with their work.
Could it not also represent Hati and Sköll, the twin wolves that chase the sun and moon through the sky, destined to devour them at Ragnarok?
it could also be a reference to the Wolf Age, which is what Norse called that era. it was only others who called our ancestors Vikings and that period of time, the Viking Age.
Where are said exotic materials coming from and what are they specifically?
The DNA suggests a colonisation of Crete from another island, what is the dating based upon?
