Hello people! My name is Volodymyr Krashevskiy. I live in Ukraine. By specialty I am a historian, although I work in another field, but I am interested in history. I like this site very much. Watching the video of the authors of the site, Ashley Cowie and Aiprile Holloway, on YouTube, when they took the camera or mobile phone back to historic sites, conducted their survey, telling their story by filming it all on the video, it seemed to me that they had opened a new research methodology when thanks to the Internet you can acquaint the viewers with a certain historical monument or historic event by studying history for themselves and society not from books or the internet, but live. I believe that every researcher of the past has not only to sit on a computer monitor, write article on the Internet, but take a camera or cell phone and take video for his video blog on the Internet about some historic place he visited. Such a technique is much better than sitting in books or the internet in that the person who studies the past acquaints himself and the audience with him alive with him. Of course books, the Internet, writing articles, searches, materials in libraries and on Internet sites, too, should have weight, but more importantly, when the researcher takes a camera or the phone will visit a historic place, take a video of his survey, and tell him about it history
This archaeological relic has little to no chance of survival unless the State of Florida takes over its preservation immediately. It must be kept wet constantly until it can be treated with benzene or whatever acceptable compound is used currently to take the place of the water within the wood. Deterioration begins the minute it is exposed to air because of water evaporation.
I had some legal oversight and supervisory experience with this type restoration in the raising of the gunboat Cairo from the Mississippi River.
The history of the human race is a story of bitter struggle to survive and to rule. In the process, eliminating those who are unacceptable in terms of racial, linguistic and cultural differences. Thus peace has reigned for a very short time of 8% in the entire span of human history. In terms of statistics and significance, any natural factor capable of destruction must be so large that if it occurs, it will destroy 3/4 of the human race in almost a single instance. For such a catastrophe to occur, the chances are very remote. The most common factor for the destruction of any race is primarily violence and violence only. NOTHING can be more efficient. TO IGNORE THIS BASIC CONCEPT and to blame nature for the disappearance of a civilization is absolutely shameful. Satellite images can fool everyone. Give credence based on backup evidence and include history of the land.
The Indus civilization was pillaged and plundered, its citizens put to the sword, similar to what an Assyrian king recorded in his edicts,'I cut their throats like the throats of lambs and kids". When two different cultures clash, they fight to eliminate each other, there is no room for compromise, unless the two are equally strong and come to terms. This did not happen in the Indus. It was pure massacre. The Vedic culture which has been in existence from the beginings of Indian history did not have the faintest idea about who lived before them. The Vedic people knew nothing about writing, town planning, architecture, attached toilets, protected water supply, waste and water drainage system or toys. It is absurd to believe that a people with such a high level of advancement did not know how to deal with drought and floods(even today we do not know despite all the local and foreign technology). It is funny that the supporters of the Vedic culture claim that the Indus civilization was their handiwork, and everyday some new claims are being made. I am an amateur. I have been studying the Indus script for almost 30 years. I have deciphered some of the signs, including the 'fish' sign. The 'fish' sign represents the women of the Indus culture. The results show that they are directly linked to Sumerian culture. To conclude, one can safely say that the Vedic people arrived in India after the death of the Indus culture. Then who destroyed the Indus culture? It must have been a fierce WARRIOR RACE who did not want to settle in India and looked for other pastures for looting and ransacking. All this talk about climate change destroying the Indus civilization is in poor taste and is a bad joke on the public. As for the Sarsvathi civilization I cannot comment, because I dont know.
The author is speaking from a 20-something year old mindset of "carpe diem," not someone with decades of life experience.
I also work in a hospital and I'd like to ask this Van, how many people feel liberated with no sense of justice, meaning, order in the world?
You know where those people end? Look no further than Kurt Cobain and celebrities like him. Hopelessness, depression, drugs, suicide. They have "everything." Except faith.
All because they believe that life is pointless.
I was kind of disappointed with this article. 20% seems much higher than I have been seeing but there isn't much detail. "Neanderthal DNA is completely absent from some parts of non-African genomes but rampant in others." Does this mean the 20% is the average or is it the maximum? Are some people much higher than 20%? I have read about very high amounts in areas like Yemen but don't know how reliable that is. I've also read about high percentages in the Basque population.
He was known as the black prince because of his blackamoor complexion. His mother Queen Phillipa was described as brown skinned. We cannot trust paintings and history books from a racist time period to tell the full truth because there was and still is a time that pale european royals would not wish to acknowledge their african moorish heritage due to the african being associated with slavery. Many moors and so called blacks are found at the origins and throughout the history of the royal families of europe. The moors will rise to power again because the moors have always wanted knowledge to be shared amongst the whole people and not reserved for a very few so called el-ite which is why they were hated so much in the first place.
Many speculations around this case, beginning with the cover "photo": it's just a bad imagination of her face. As to genetic studies, they were hold in three labs, and all the three showed the different results Shown here only one's not the best one
I can add to this one of my professors was involved in testing this specific "find" and yes it was nothing more than random scratches. It might not be clear in the photos but there were also several more marks not highlighted around the area as well. The only way to get the "translation" shown is if you ignore those. Furthermore, the bowl with supposed Sumerian writing has been debunked several times, the writing and structure are completely off. It is a fack and a bad one at that!
I know, right? You’d think we’d be more open to such facts, but we act like digging up the roots that Constantine put in is an insult to God. Sometimes (rarely, but not never) we confuse me more than atheists.
I got into a heated debate with my history class, and they were making the case that Easter is all focused on Jesus, whereas the teacher and I said otherwise. He was the one who focused on Easter, whereas I focused on Christmas because I didn’t know the details of Easter at the time. Long story short, either people didn’t want to admit it, or they didn’t know in the first place that just about every commercial holiday has Pagan roots. I still don’t know ALL the details, but if I had to guess, Halloween was when Ancient Greeks tried to summon their families’ ghosts from Hades. And Valentine’s Day was probably the day to worship Cupid. (For Pete’s sake, Cupid is the holiday’s mascot!)
How coincidental. The first three days of Passover are also known as the fast of Esther. It relates to the time when Esther desired to approach the King of Persia, which normally was a death sentence. She wanted to plead a case to let the Jews go home. After 3 days of fasting and prayer, she did so. Not only did he receive her, he married her, and the Jews got to go home.
I find it interesting that these figure have round eyes. What was the ethnicity of these peoples.
I have read about other places with underground bunkers, notably Turkey. None seem to have been as nice as these. Even more places all over the world have extensive tunnel systems. The quality of construction suggest to me that they had more than a military purpose.
The claims about giants have all been proven false or failed to provide enough evidence to change our archeological and even paleontological understanding of the world. For example, the where are the ancestors of the giants in the fossil record? I have often heard it suggested that there is a massive conspiracy to keep us from knowing about some giant race but that would involve thousands if not millions of people and for what end? This article even references a great example of when science has changed when presented with new evidence Homo floresiensis, they offer a great example of island dwarfism and how it affects even people. This is a relatively new theory that still has controversy swirling around it yet science is still wing to debate it. Not to mention that the ‘Fossilized Irish giant’ presented here was proven to be fake in the 1890's its nothing more than a plaster sculpture. The teeth as mentioned have also been disproven most of them are horse and pig teeth or is some cases forgeries. I appreciate the enthusiasm but there are interesting and real things to study.
... This is a Māori legend. Maui didn't pull up the the islands of Hawaii. It's New Zealand. Come on. You ALMOST got your facts right.
It literally mentions the city 'Auckland' with landmarks like its Harbour bridge and 'Sky Tower'
who is so desperate to pad articles? the almost imaginary paintings of viking while having a possible historical basis are childish enough, BUT CUPCAKES. more than pitiful.
But there are 5 in Oslo museum, so far from unique. & of what relevance is an "artist's interpretation" of something 900 years ago. Is it's purpose to produce a longer article, or just cuteness.

Why does everyone over analyze everything
I think they hunted frogs as a source of food and used these whistles to attract them

@ Harold,
I'm left better for having read that insightful comment.
I reject this article and this rude, lazy, pessimistic generation's conditioning to communistic NIHILISM.

The image used for Menes seems familiar, does it not bear resemblance to the face of the great Sphinx?

Cheers on the false information.
