    The original version of Adam and Eve is NOT from the hebrew bible but around 800 years older and was found on clay tablets in Ugarit.

    It was simply copied and parts altered (made misognystic) where necessary.
    Does this prove that the Genesis is not the word of god? Very likely. ;)

    Breathe in. Then breathe out. You have just pronounced God's name. Ugh! Tsk Tsk Tsk. YHWH. Sigh.

    "The washed-up artifacts dated to around 90 BC, a time when the Roman Empire ruled the Anatolia region and before it became Byzantine under Islamic rule."

    The Byzantine and Islamic/Ottoman periods in the history of this region are distinct. The Byzantine period refers to the period after the administrative division of the Roman Empire into East and West and after the collapse of the Western portion. The Byzantines never called themselves this as they were "Romans." It is a construct of convenience among historians. The Byzantine Empire was Christian, specifically the Eastern Orthodox Church. It was never Islamic. Please correct your article.

  • Reply to: Tomb of Alexander the Great already found, archaeologist claims, but findings have been blocked by ‘diplomatic intervention’   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Samant Kumar

    I know only one thing. The world deserves to see the Tomb of Alexander. I would also like to see the Tomb of a man who visited India in BC. It's surprising that the discovery may lead to complications in Greece. What is so complicated with a man who died centuries ago? Let the actual occupant of the Tomb be revealed to the world. Greece may also get benefit from it in terms of money along with the government of Egypt. Why to keep whole world waiting when it will be surely excavated sometime in future? Nothing remains hidden forever.

    I'll give you another translation. When I say the word "you" when talking about you, do I only mean the conscious mind? Don't we all have a Subconscious, Conscious and Superconscious mind. So when talking about an entity of over 2000 years ago man didn't have and science at the time could he have been trying to put things into context. Could Elohim, be in fact an entity composed of many conscious minds. I mean man could have literally written "And God made man to look like Him", but he didn't, he wrote down, "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Could image be really DNA image, but man of 2000 years ago didn't have the context to write about DNA. Wouldn't it have been easier to say God made man to look like Him if that was the real meaning?

    Similar problem where I live. Catamounts (mountain lions) are supposed to be extinct here despite numerous eye witness reports and photos and despite the admission on the QT by wildlife rangers.

    In the christian "Record of the Nephites" there is written about an ancient civilation in that area which was destroyed at the time of the Tower of Babylon.
    The famous Father Crespi got alot of stuff from indians from kept secret underground tunnels and caves which belonged to ancient civilation.
    This material is judged to be mostly babylonian style and in theRecord of the Nephites there is written "at the time of the Tower of Babylon".

    I like supernatural theories, but could it be that this animal escaped from a zoo or an owner? Unlikely I guess.

  • Reply to: New Study Answers the Question - Did Medieval People Reach Old Age?   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Old DDS

    One can only assume that if there were birth/death records available, the researcher would have consulted them and the whole premise of this bit of research would be moot. I sincerely doubt there were any parish records between 475 and 625 AD. I doubt the concept of the parish had even come about yet. The Romans were still finishing their decline and Merry Olde was still very, very backward and I doubt the comings and goings of the commoners were at all noteworthy.

    I always thought estimates of age came from parish records. I understand that records were not kept as meticulously as they are today, but births and deaths were recorded. Matching those records up to the "wear-and-tear-on-the-teeth" method would do much to validate it, I think.

    In its earliest forms "Apple" meant any fruit other than berries. so both legends could very well be talking about the same orchard.

  • Reply to: Site in Athens revealed as an ancient temple of twin gods Apollo and Artemis   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Nick D

    What predates these is the Minoan belief system that was incorporated into the Greek, but some of meaning lost. This had four houses: Earth mother, Venus, Apollo and Artemis. They represent cardinal directions, seasons (solstice and equinox) and time: midnight, sunrise, Apollo midday and Artemis sunset - but moonlight would be a better description.

  • Reply to: Velikovsky and modern discoveries.   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: reblak

    The stars and planets as gods long precede the ‘Johnnie Come Lately’ Romans. In Egypt, they named planets as living, ruling pharaohs from c3100 – 200BC, Chiselling their actions into temple walls. This practice of naming the Sun etc as living humanoid gods or as the spirits of the deceased has no known initial source or time. We probably always did it. The Romans simply renamed them. I applaud support of the very great Immanuel Velikovsky. He was an ‘original’ – spot on in identifying our cosmic history, perhaps less so with ancient history, although even when mistaken, his contributions were the much-needed spur for a new, more enlightened re-examination of huge amounts of questionable historical research

  • Reply to: The Confusing Horned Helmets Depicted in the Oseberg Viking Age Tapestries   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: J A Eidsmoe

    We find depictions of vikings with horns, yet the viking helmets we have found did not have horns. How do we explain this?
    The explanation is obvious: The horns grew out of their heads!
    Just for clarification, I am proud of my viking ancestry, and this is an attempt at humor.
    The most likely explanation is that horned helmets were occasionally used for ceremonial purposes, as among the Germans and Celts.
    Horned helmets might look fearsome on viking warriors, but they would not be practical in battle. All an opponent would have to do is take hold of the horns, twist, and break the viking's neck.

  • Reply to: Alone Need Not Be Lonely: What Joyous Solitude of Early Hermits Can Teach Us   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Tima

    It seems to be a condition of the lack of melanin=life genes... from the recessive gene taxon of persons who has a problem of a plethora of unnecessary fears, and apprehensions of simply nothing, things like it may not be enough space, or food, and water to share; especially for the things that are considered 'normal' as communication, and connecting with others cordially is basically how most people live.. Also, adding the fact that as long as the Sun comes out each day, it is a guarantee that enough resources, and space will always be provided to sustain us all...And yet many hermits fear the worse... What is to be feared are those who hog from others, the basic needs of necessities, and limits, to disrupting the lives of different people, when it is not caused for at all, is what should be feared, in making the world into a complete "mayhem" ..Oh wait! it's TOO LATE.. I guess the hermits in this case are right...stay very afraid, and alone..and find a place in that of peace for much has been forced on chaos today.. I can't blame a hermit...

  • Reply to: Jesus’ Fashion Faux Pas: What Was He Wearing?   6 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Charles Verrastro

    I question whether a robe made in one piece was a sheer, cheap piece of undergarment or an especially well tailored piece made with care and at great cost. Why else would the Roman soldiers gamble for it? We also have the curious incident of the woman who grabbed the edge of his robe and received an instantaneous blessing, despite Jesus's irked response. IThe picture we get is of a flowing robe trailing behind as he hurried through the crowd that she seized on to get his attention.
    Also, it may be he covered himself with the voluminous robe when sleeping in the boat on the Sea before calming the waters.
