    I do not have a PhD and have read only one of the Setchin books.
    you say that he possibly mistranslated.
    Did you notice that you used the word probably more than once.

    It's the same as we the indigenous black people did when we built on the highest mountains to have the Rock of Gibraltar Granada of the North Afarakans.. who also built the Cordoba, and more, in spain..from 711 AD - 1400s AD...

    Heavens? Logically speaking, it was to ensure visibility, to be able to view all of their surroundings as does the falcon..being the only bird to fly as high, and can still view all of its habitats including the sun, and stars, in the sky..

    Maybe those who failed to uphold their legal responsibilities in protecting the citizens should consider the actions of Charondas.

    Great work by Dr. Clyde Winters.There are no aliens, expecially ancient aliens as that is based upon the Sumerian King’s List which contains lies about the age of reign for various kings. These gods, which are actually just tetraploid humans, have always claimed immortality which is totally false. They may live two to three times as long as us normal diploid humans but they are not immortal. I prove that in my book, Secrets of the PInk Kush. 

    They are not from Nibiru or Orion or another planet but from Earth and just have doubled chromosomes leading to superior intelligence and gigantic sizes (10 to 12 feet tall).

    Sitchin did contribute some great work but either made errors or obfuscated the truth because the HIDDEN ONES or Serpent People or Sumerians did not want their existence known. The Illuminati report to these giants and obey their nefarious commands.

    It is these tetraploid humans who are in the UFOs, not aliens and they control our governments and planet in secret.

    Their objective is to control mankind through deceit and turn our society into a matriarchal Luciferian civilization which is also known as the New World Order.

    They are the ones that wrote much of the Old Testament.

    Bang on. The Sumerians were like other cultures around this region, were often describing the stars and celestial bodies, not aliens! Spot on and thanks for the translations. The Minoans have what seems to be a similar belief system. It is Mother Earth (north) winter midnight, Son the Sun South midday, summer solstice, with consort Venus give life to the day in the east (spring equinox). The Sun has a virgin twin sister Moon light, at sunset West, autumn equinox. In this way, they can express, time of day, seasons and directions. The deities are different but the meaning seems to be similar.

    This is wrong. Venus relates to daybreak East, with her consort the Sun south. Not Sunset west, when the moon comes out! The virgin mistress looks after the underworld, it is not a story, they are describing how the celestial bodies work. The two sisters in law have become very confused! Venus becomes Aphrodite sometimes shown with a dove, The virgin mistress of wild animals - Athena, symbol Owl by moonlight when used to express direction. You are referring two different deities interchangeably and they are distinct.

    Why do writings from ancient civilizations, when given non-traditional interpretations are always regarded as 'myths, legends'.., but is given 'historical basis' when religions/christianity or judaism texts are scrutinize ?

    Sumerian texts are not just 'myths, or talisman/magic incantations' but real actual references to non-traditional stories.

    FINAL EDIT: Sorry it was Chris Stringer who I was taking to task. TSUNAMIS and rafts of vegetation?!!? That's so rich I just choked. I'll bet if you remove Stringers brain, nobody could tell the difference. That's still not saying Everett knows what he's talking about. Where is his cave dwellers sea-faring union card? Does he really know how modern people on a sailboat communicate. Doesn't seem like it. Paddles? Seriously? Why doesn't he just postulate they all turned toward the stern (look it up) and exhaled real hard, in unison. One guy playing the drum to keep 'em organized?

    EDIT: I am writing an article about the difference between ocean-going, offshore, looong distance sailors, and their completely unacknowledged contributions to humanity around the world, and the landlubbers who have no knowledge of how humans got such a rich and varied life.

    Hi Ashley, interesting article but totally infuriating.
    I have yet to see one frikkin 'specialist' anthropologist, linguist, archaeologist or any other so called 'scientist' who mutters the word "boats" who has ANY offshore experience, or even basic knowledge about sailing, ya know, with sails.
    Everett says “there is little evidence that H. erectus was a sophisticated seafarer..." Oh really? What are his sailing credentials? He read about it? Or does he reason that without a GPS those backwards people could not have done what they obviously DID do. My gawd, cancel that man's grant. I suspect his linguist credentials as well. I looked him up in the dictionary and found his picture next to the word 'Bloviate'.
    I am writing an article about the difference between ocean-going, offshore, looong distance sailors and their completely unacknowledged contributions to humanity around the world. Everett and his kind don't come off well in that article. The experts without experience but lots of 'knowledge' are a very recent boil on the mind of man.

  • Reply to: Demystifying the Egyptian Pyramids with Hard Facts   6 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Chris Allan

    I have no academic qualifications, but am interested in things ancient. This article appears to me to have been written with the tongue firmly in cheek. The delivery of stones to the pyramid site at the rate of 340 per day will take some doing, and will also not be enough to finish in 20 to 40 years. I would like to see Aswan granite floated down the Nile. To provide flotation for 80 tons of granite, you would need a volume of about 40000 litres of air bladders (camel stomachs?).
    However there is also the matter of the engineering involved in building the pyramids by people supposedly scarcely out of the stone age. For me there are still many mysteries surrounding the pyramids.

  • Reply to: Devil’s Footprints: Who Descended the Side of an Erupting Volcano, Leaving an Ancient Trail Behind?   6 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Alan Cring

    The span between the prints indicates that the individuals were walking instead of running, which indicates that they perceived no imminent danger. This tells us that they were not there during any kind of life threatening event during their descent.

    So what were they doing up there? I would offer these possibilities:
    1) They went up there in a show of bravery, ritualistic (as in some rite of passage) or impomptu ("Hey, ladies, watch how macho we are going up to bravely face the Maw That Bakes Mortal Flesh to Medium-Rare!")
    2) They went up there to sacrifice something or someone to the volcano, a practice well-documented by historians and anthropologists to recent times across the world).
    3) Something was up there they wanted badly enough to risk life and limb. I am unsure of what that might have been, but volcanic glass or red-hot, glowing rocks come to mind.

    One way or another, the very good question about "Who climbs an active volcano?" has a relatively obvious answer; to wit. "A moron. THAT'S who climbs an active volcano."
