Nick D you have a great grasp of ancient global travel and communication. I do wish to express the idea of the ancient scientific observations of the Earth zones. To understand the order of the Celestial realm, it was realised that by studying the corresponding zones of earth, the variable creative energies could be discovered. This is why original ancient scientific exploration became so important. These are recorded around the globe once scientific research concluded the anatomical recognition. Each sign of the zodiac is about the uniqueness of the zones around the globe, these are Earthly observations and each iconic sign relates to the point of anatomy, for example the top of the head uses the horns of the ram, the bull the neck.... The circular zodiac of Denderah is a zodiac that rotates in the opposite direction to the Celestial zodiac of Nut, it also records the unusually placed sign of Cancer as it relates to the more Northern positioned site of Stonehenge and is an Earthly record. The Lion of Africa (the Heart land/lung region) marks it's own anatomy as the mane wraps around the torso compared to other large world cats and it was not far from here to explore the neighbours, next zone of Cancer (to the West) on the World anatomy. A good way to create a grid would also be to create a needle point to record the shadows, this is why the obelisks were so impressive. These would track variations in time and planetary motion variables such as precession and motion changes of the Earth towards or away from the sun.
If it is promoted by CNN means only fraud.
Everything about so called "climate change" as culprit is an absolute nonsense.
More degree and diplomas means absolutely not at all intelligence and to be wise !
Tricky subject. So those that didn't believe the new teaching where squished. I like the Book of the Kells, Trinity must turn a page each day, two minds about this (good, it's available to everyone, it might wear the pages, bad). I was lucky enough to see the page on the genealogy of Christ. I did discuss this with my girlfriend at the time, red hair and liked wearing green, that she is entitled to do, a devout Catholic; it was fine. The Irish scribes recorded oral history, it is a superb useful record. Then again, every country key turning points should be celebrated it happened to a major anniversary of a fight in a post office. Not a good day for a Brit to be in Ireland. Aideen. Ireland is unusual it is at the farthest part, it preserves so much. Still, like the fluid form of the art and the Criac (banter in British).
William, please. Head wrapping with a light cloth extends the head, maybe they wanted to show status. What does this third law of thermodynamics have to do with it? Do you use it or understand it. You're talking out of your ar&%. People peddling books...
This doesn't sound correct to me either. The mounts may have had a religious purpose, but it is not likely to be for astronomy, they are sealed. I think it more likely that they were used for food storage (my own view). Life is much more fragile at this time, a bad harvest would hugely impact the population. Having sealed store rooms, is a way of preserving food stuffs, the temperature generally colder and regulated throughout the year. Even in medieval times, storage pits were used for refrigeration.
The new grange site is interesting, there is Minoan iconography on the entrance stone. The mythology of Ireland and Britain, suggests waves of invasions through the pillars of Hercules (straits of Gibraltar), this may suggest there is a very ancient trade in metals. Strangely there are lots of these mounds on Islands (producing metals), that may needed to support the miners throughout the year and the ruling house in times of local crop failure.
It is worth the archaeologists referencing the pole stars over time, then one is aligned to (North) at the time, build something big to record the datum event. It is likely many cultures did this, they studied the stars the same way modern day people watch TV.
What a tragedy to kill such a beautiful animal. They have a right to live in peace without ignorant people believing false ideas about them. Get educated, there is no magic or evil in tigers.
Observations:
1. The Sumerians had fractional 'Pythagorean' trigonometry. This can be used to line up pointers to determine very accurate angular readings to any reference point (stars, celestial bodies, ships on the horizon with distance and bearing)
2. The Minoans seem to know this, the so-called 'peak sanctuaries' are practical observatories for both observing the shipping lanes and observing the stars (dual use: science and supporting trade).
3. The double axe and 'horns of consecration' are devices to assist in measurement, they are shown on iconography together. They can be used for the metrological study of time and angular position. The small double axe used for navigation on ships and for short-range signalling between ships (they are great mirrors) – about 5kms to the horizon, the large ones from peaks at altitude – about 100 kms (height dependent). The ''a' side is a flat gravity cast mirror, the 'b' side of double axes, all have markers, by knowing mid-day (shortest shadow), the month of year, the markers can be used for the offset to give an approximation of current latitude! They are made from copper, silver and gold , all greater than 95% reflective when polished. Noting how similar the words ‘Axes’ and ‘Axis’ is, the Minoans put axe marks on their buildings to make key events relating to Solstice and Equinox. Minoan ships are covered in practical devices to assist in navigation, directional vains, anemometer, etc.
There is line-of-sight between peak sanctuaries, for potentially cross-island and inter island communication across most of the Cyclades! Near instantaneous long distant communication, what an advantage (whether this was just for advanced recon of an approaching foreign fleet or more sophisticated for placing orders is unknown. Signalling mirrors would not work at night, but there is evidence of fires at these locations to do the same. How did Minos control the flow of tin (or anything else) in the Med? The fleet intercepted any plain wooden hulls (all the Minoan ships were white composite hulls as shown on the Santorini floatilla fresco). They dominated, controlled and enabled the flow of trade of valuable commodities across the entire region, spanning Africa, Europe and Asia.
4. Trade flourished around 2500-1500BCE and it is done mainly via metal producing islands in the med (easier to defend), to Iberia (producing tin) and connecting Brittany and the British Isles (also producing tin - Armetis's little hunting companion (sometimes shown above - BRITomartis: the sweet maiden of sailors). These were the trading ports which worked together to bring metal into the Med, the key ingredient to power the bronze age economy. We can probably decipher the lost language of Linear A through tongues spoken in ancient Britain, possibly Catalan (Iberia)!
5. The celestial bodies of interest are the Earth, the Moon, the Sun and Venus (which the Minoan deities embody, Mother Earth - North, Potnia Theron (Artemis) – West, her twin the Master of Animals (Apollo) – South and his consort Venus - East, respectively), and knew how all these bodies interact. The Minoans and the Phoenicians (seafaring Philistines of Minoan descent) used water bowls to study the passage of venus across the sun (in the reflection) for example, there are models, artefacts and iconography to show just this. The suns position was tracked by shadow cast. The moon by lining up reference markers, they know where everything was and exactly where it would be, they could predict eclipses, they even had devices to calculate this, with 95% success. It is the precursor to the Antikythera mechanism a millennium later. Just imagine how powerful this was in statecraft, next week the sun will turn black (if you don’t agree to this trade deal). The reason we probably have a decimalised system is probably due to the Minoans, the rest of the world is sexigesimal (base 60 - but good for division), the Minoans used both. There are proportions embedded in their buildings that show they knew and were using advanced mathematics Pi, Fibonacci sequences, their book-keeping is meticulous, they counted everything in and out of the Palace magazines and there is evidence of macroeconomic planning, supply contracts and possibly credit! Any shortfall of a commodity they needed they acquired by trade. Some of the small islands supported population well beyond what the land area would provide. They were churning out specialised high-value trade goods at a fast rate. All the great building projects (Palaces) in the med used Minoan architects, engineers and artist, almost certainly including the Egyptians.
6. The Priestess (civil servants) are trying to work out the celestial axis around which the earth wobbles due to precession (a long-term project), they wanted to understand the natural cycles of everything, including how the Universe was organised). The building markers (like stone circles) are all references to assist. A study of the stars over generations. The Phoenicians and the Minoans always show North, protected by griffins (the cone in which the earth wobbles within due to procession (backwards), it’s moving around 1.4 degrees each century. The twin snakes are referring to North, they even show the correct rotation of the Earth on Phoenician iconography. The snakes refer to the ‘shifting’ Pole star Thuban, ‘the snake’ at the time. They knew more about astronomy than they are given credit for. They had 13 months at this time, not twelve (13 cycles of the moon phases per year). All the signs of the zodiac are observed from a latitude around the Cyclades! The Minoans seeded all the thalassocracy afterwards, they were based on the knowledge derived from trade: Phoenicians, Spain, Briton.

It is a matter of discovering some true messages. I apply a larger scientific observation to the sites and our ancient teachings. For me the astrological zones are anatomical connections. The World rotates through the Celestial body (Nut, the Father, Ranginui) but the World was the point of investigation. By studying nature around the equator you could investigate the surrounding creative energies of the Celestial surroundings. "As above so below" so the twelve zones around the equator revealed the energy of the twelve zones of our Celestial path. Stonehenge has the design of Cancer, next Leo has the sphinx, Virgo the land of Israel. From the heads of Easter Island to the tail of the fish our ancient civilisations plotted the World body, which projected to the Celestial body. For me the twelve zones are 12 anatomical body parts that combine to form the full body. This builds a comprehension of Celestial evolution, passed onto planetary evolution, expressed through terrestrial evolution.
We are constantly bombarded with words such as SOUL, HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS, METAPHYSICS, and the list could go on. And the one thing each author should be discussing is the exact meaning of these words. What is the soul, where does it reside, is it in the body, outside the body, when do we acquire it, where does it go when we expire, do we own it, rent it, what does it mean to have a higher consciousness, do we need to go up to the top floor of the Empire State Building to find it, WHAT DOES IT MEAN? And by that I mean I want PROOF, not just conjecture.
Maybe we need to find the meanings behind the words.
Link to the origin of Britomatis - sweet maiden, Brigit (invasion of Ireland - triple godess). https://pantheon.org/articles/b/britomartis.html
Good article on the Phoenician derivative of Brittanica (which appears is pre-roman): http://www.jrbooksonline.com/pob/pob_ch07.html
For some reason, the Phoenicians seem to swop Artemis and Venus around. I wonder if they did this to hide where key ports were, the would scupper a ship rather than be followed to the tin islands. It's curious, the early version of Britannia is associated the Sun and fire (particularly forging of metal), but all the qualities are those of Potnia Theron, that becomes Athena.

No they didn’t drop their pagan ways for christianity because of a volcano as the article heading suggests..
They did because of a very sharp sword blade pointing at them.

It's a safe way to intake water. Seriously. Natural sources are good, stored sources could be dangerous.

Why are they illegal to sell? or it this just bad writing skills?

I have read all of Sitchen's books and give him credit for the extensive research he did. RIP Zecharia.

So thats why I keep finding French place and notable family names in Cornwall. To confuse things more, theres also Breton in France.
St Johns Ambulance used have a similiar code.
