While it likely can't be confirmed if this flexible glass was suppressed by Imperial Edict, a story like it appears in Bradbury's Anthology "Golden Apples of the Sun". There is a story of a Chinese inventor who invented a practical glider, and is seen by the emperor and his guards flying it. The Emperor is indeed amazed, but to the precocious aviator's surprise, is ordered to be beheaded and his glider destroyed. The Emperor explains that he's sad to have to give these orders, but while the inventor had only good intentions in building the glider, he was concerned that some day an evil man, with malice in his heart, would use the glider to drop stones on the Great Wall of China. The emperor felt it better to suppress knowledge than to risk that it would be used against his Empire.
Another excellent article from Mr. Mingren (DHWTY). I’m impressed with your wide range of interests and read most of your well researched articles. I did find another article entitled “History of the toothpick” located at https://www.slideshare.net/Chip_Evans1/history-of-the-toothpick-24138573
I've read all nine books of the Earth Chronicles series and find no reason to doubt Dr. Sitchin's scholarship. As a previous commenter has posted, Dr. Sitchin used other sources to confirm his analyses, including the text of the original Bible, in Hebrew. I would recommend skeptics and "believers" alike check out an excellent book by Dr. Chris Hardy, entitled Wars Of The Anunnaki, who espouses a feminist point of view and draws on other writers and resources besides Zechariah Sitchin to reach the same conclusions.
I'm surprised that the Queen's appearance has not been commented on more, in that her face seems to me to be Asiatic. Her delicate beauty would not be out of place in the Forbidden City, or is that just me?
Great article. I first heard the story in a talk by the founder of modern world Libertarianism, the then precocious teen Michael Gilson De Lemos (called MG), who noted it as an example of the disastrous effects of coerced government regulation.
This is pretty sad. I think most of these have been debunked.
The portion of this I am most familiar with has to do with the alleged Ogham inscriptions in Colorado. I am a professional archaeologist who was active in Colorado in the 1970s and 1980s when these were reported. I knew Bill McGlone and Dr. Don Rickey.
They used Dr Barry Fell of Harvard as their "authority" to translate the "Ogham" inscriptions as reported in this article. The problem was that Dr. Fell was a marine biologist and had no expertise in epigraphy. He apparently had some reference books on Ogham that he used to "translate" the scratches he saw in photographs sent to him.
The Colorado State Archaeologist's office sent photographs of the same scratches that Fell "translated" to several professional epigraphers who were world experts on Ogham. They unanimously agreed that none of this was Ogham but were random scratches or the tool sharpening grooves archaeologists thought they were. One commented that to make a "translation" as Fell had done, you would have to believe the inscriptions were composites of various different versions of Ogham in use over several hundred years.
I am also disappointed that you never brought up real evidence of contact across the oceans that we know of from South America. The presence of Asian chickens in South America and the presence of American sweet potatoes in Polynesia shows that Polynesian sailors reached western South America at some point in late prehistory. Nothing controversial about that.
Wow! These guys are researchers??? They seem either to be more like wannabe writers trying to break into the business or diehard Christians wanting to keep the world in darkness like Noah's son. The only thing that Sitchin was wrong about was his belief that the ancient serpant Enlil is the good guy and that the serpant Ea is the bad guy.
For those who are interested, Graham Hancock covers these same points in his book 'Magicians of The Gods', arriving at the same conclusions. Interesting reading!
i was bred born and raised catholic, even though i was a mistake of nature. an unplanned, unwanted pregnancy and my mother hated being pregnant and sick as if they are even similar. my faith has been thoroughly tested and the good Lord must give me a F as i have failed. i have none. in fact i deserve an F+ for failing exceptionally well in the faith dept. i had a girlfriend that had a ouija board, and one time i gave it one heck of an effort and nothing at all happened. as far as demons or devils i have seen the face of pure evil. so did an assistant attorney general of the state of Washington. he was also working in the deparment of child protective services. he was a child at the same time, but he said the abuse my parents doled out on a whim was felonious in nature and they should be in prison. my oldest brother recieved the worst and my next to the oldest brother hung himself with the rope our mother used to whip us. after reading the autopsy it was crystal clear that the coroner was suspect of that very whipping/hanging rope. fortunately my parents were cop groupies and luckily had a cop friend that helped cover it all up. even though i believed in devils/demons, i also believed is saviors at that time. there were none, there was pure evil though, looks just like you and me. it is a toy, a game, no magic, no evil.
I question the hypothesis. So what if he is a convert? (And I'm unconvinced that he is.) That takes nothing away from his Catholicism -- it's not determined at birth.
I concur electroplating of metals. Gold, silver, tin can all be deposited in this way. They did use mercury to form an amalgam, that was applied and evaporated to leave a thin deposit but weakening the base metal, electroplating allows a much thicker deposition without weakening the object. Particularly useful to protect iron objects to protect them from the elements. If this is a battery, that is debatable.
Thanks for providing that link for Dr. Phelon’s research! I have never heard Mexico City proposed to be a possible location for Atlantis. The last I had heard was that Bimini was a possible contender.
Hello everyone! I am Chad and I have an interest in Celtic ruins and mythology. While I am skeptical of many ideas that are floated around on this site, I really enjoy the site, because it exposes me to new ideas and I get to learn about ancient sites that are not well known.
I should of realised this article was propaganda, the Romans founded london! London had been there 1000 years, new troia( Troy) the reason these bodies might have been from a varied background was after the Punic wars Rome was so short of men the slaves ended up taking over. A body of a man and woman, just like in London today?????

So they invented clear plastic.

The phonecians where in North America in 1500 BC, the khumric king Arthur 2 was there in late 500's. Long before any red Indians.

"referenced the Jewish High Holidays in his journal"
That is intriguing. Did he also reference Catholic holidays?
