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.
such destruction as this is an outrage to many but wars continue and technology changes everything as the end of the whole earth is now being calculated and then all of the protected sites will be finished.
OK, wow...if I read this article correctly the bust of Alexander was made in his lifetime while in India. Only a few artifacts can be directly related to Alexander and his campaigns during his lifetime...correct? Is this the first original bust ever discovered of Alexander? I'm actually pretty shocked and excited.
That sounds alot like the story of Prometheus. But, man tries to make sense of the unknown and occasionally concludes similar answers, even independently of one another. But, I have read that Sumeria and Indus River civilization were culturally swapping for quite a while. Ancient Kings were held in high regard and were often regarded as Gods. So maybe, the Sumerians Kings concocted these stories to keep their subjects in line or well informed.
I am outraged at the care they took with Göbekli Tepe. I made a reviews on the social media platforms the "REPUBLIC OF TURKEY MINISTRY OF CULTURE AND TOURISM" uses. I suggest everyone else do the same. https://www.facebook.com/TCKulturTurizm/
Alexander had everything to gain with his father's death but also everything to lose. Alexander was not next in line to be King. He was considered a half blood bc his mother was not a Macedonian. The Macedonian court never embraced Alexander as the true proper heir. Alexander was even exiled from Macedonia after an altercation at a banquet celebrating King Philip's new marriage and birth of his new son. If Alexander was discovered to have kiilled Philip it could have backfired horribly for him. The Macedonian hierarchy would potentially ostracize him.even more. If I'm not mistaken, Alexander was to be King Philip's second in command but not the prince to the crown. I think that's one reason why his mother despised King Philip. She new he would never annoint Alexander as heir to the throne. Its also one reason why Alexander had so much friction from the Macedonian Old Guard while they campaigned in Persia. They constantly feuded about the proper way Alexander should conduct himself as a Macedonian King. But, they burned his trust and acceptance a long time ago. As Alexander proceeded east into Persia, he slowly dismissed/killed off the old guard as he saw fit. I will say he miraculously won the favor in the end of Macedonian court to become King. Through assination, bribery, and calculated rhetoric he got the crown. But, he never really felt wanted in his homeland. Even the Greeks despised him. Hell, he fought against more Greeks than were ever in his own army.
I guess one can be a king and still be considered a Greek. Macedonia seemed to operate politically quite different from its Greek contemporary city states but, had similar religious practices. I find myself changing my opinion about what characterizes an Ancient Greek. King Philip seemed much more archaic in conducting his civil operations but definitely was assimilated with Greek traditions and current culture. Having Aristotle's own father as a previous court physician definitely helps his Greek status.
... Alexander had just experienced one of the most harrowing events of his career at the Battle of the Persian Gates. He had to cross a narrow mountain pass in enemy territory and race towards Persepolis before any potential Persians could get to it. So, he ordered a large body of his army into pass deep into potentially enemy held territory and did so without sending a reconnaissance force ahead. For all his military genius, this was incredibly foolhardy and naive on Alexander's part. He led his troops right into the perfect ambush. Entire platoons of his men perished and had no choice but to retreat, leaving the bodies of his fallen soldiers behind with no proper burial. For about a month he pondered his next move and conveniently a local tribes told him of alternative route. He then outflanked the Persian resistance and finally won his army safe passage. Persepolis was his for the taking. And, the primary reason he wanted Persepolis was it's treasury. Perhaps, the largest treasury in the world. But, as he rode to the city he encountered a gruesome sight. According to sources, 800 mutilated Greek slaves awaited him outside the city. What must have he been thinking when he saw these poor defenseless Greeks. His army proceeded to pilage and loot the city with no second thoughts. Persepolis was the cultural/spiritual/political capitol of Persia. If any city was the target of King Philip's Persian Invasion, it was Persepolis. Xerxes himself had a palace here. But, Persepolis was also the most exotic and beautiful city in Persia. It was Alexander's property now. King Philip said he wanted to invade Persia to liberate Persian controlled Greek cities in Asia and avenge Athens. But, deep down, Philip wanted Persian gold. And, now Alexander had it. But, Alexander also had a personal hatred of Zoroastrianism. He had the money so burning down the city was no big deal anyway. And after one night of partying, a fire broke out and burned down a significant part of city. And, Alexander, with sources, was regretful. He was even chastised by his elders for such a senseless act. I don't believe he had any such plans for burning the city after he entered into it. But, I believe the previous frustrations and binge drinking led to a spontaneous act of destruction. Persepolis is now lost to history. The art, the architecture, the knowledge is now gone. It is even said he tried to put the fire out but was too late. But, he would have more cities to conquer, more Alexandria's to found, more of Persia to take. Darius was still at large and the the Eastern Sea was yet to be discovered. But, the destruction of Persepolis would cement him as far as any Persian is concerned, as Alexander the Accursed.

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

These claims of giants have been completely debunked. We need better articles than these.
How long has Tyre been inhabited? The one Alexander laid siege too. i'm not saying it's as old as the others...jw
I find your call for suicide by those leaders who believe in the Second Amendment heartlessly appalling. I am shocked.
