    I don't remember the Norse being particularly cannibalistic. OTOH, I've read speculation that the Clovis people may be related to the Cro Magnon of Southern France based on some of the similarities between their ritual goods.

    Interesting article but I'm rather confused over the timeline. I've read elsewhere that the massive flooding and the Carolina bays etc occurred at the beginning of the Dalton minimum - surely too early for the pyramids!

    I am wondering if that purse with a handle, was found with this treasure ? That purse i refer to is depicted throughout more ancient cultures going back well into BC times, across many those nations. They are found on their carvings and drawings.
    I mean coins and wearables wear found together, how were they thus carried together ?
    Certainly not some square box ! The ring may have been for that certain person to wear, to show others their status, that they are to not to be trifled with, since they carried that purse, with messages, gifts from one king to another or leader to leader between lands. But, was the purse done away with long before medieval times ? What is the LATEST known find so far, of this purse i refer to ?

    Just a heads up….I have now republished the book “400,000 Years” as the “Map that Talked”

    In this book The Saksaywaman text is now described as the Text of Babel, 

    I confirmed the text was used worldwide, and the sites where the oldest texts are found are linked to the astronomical values used to create the text.

    Believe it or not, those are natural. They have been sculpted that way over a very long time by nature.

    That impact site in Lake Michigan fits nicely with the rest of the story. It explains why there was such a large concentration of craters in North America along the Eastern Seaboard. Also, April Holloway wrote an article called “Scientists seek answers for the abandonment of the Great City of Cahokia.” I have been going over the map trying to figure our how the city may have become flooded.  If we can take Cahokia back in time, we might have the answer to that mystery.

    As the article states, nearly all legends have some basis in fact if are willing to look deeply enough into their origins. Since 71% of the surface of the earth is covered by oceans, it is only logical that there are many things which may exist in the depths that are basically unknown to humans.

    The legends may sound a little fantastic to us, but the creatures responsible for those legends may be even more fantastic than their legends. I believe that there are life forms living in the oceans which would challenge our understanding of life on our beautiful planet.

    So just 2 of 13. So being an archer it's impossible that the other two are spare arrows? Why o people make wild assumptions of the past based on things they see in the modern world?

  • Reply to: The Mysterious Man from Taured – Evidence for a Parallel Universe?   6 years 5 months ago
    Comment Author: Peter Chamers

    The story of 'The Man from Taured' is an obscure short story printed along other short stories in the 50s or 60s.
    It vanished from public awareness due to the print only having been published once or twice in small numbers.
    Somehow it was picked up again by coincidence and told once more - now it has gained popularity as a real mystery. However it is just a piece of science fiction.

    The location of the original comet impact site may have been found in the southern half of Lake Michigan. There is a crater like impression found in this part of the lake that is nearly seventy miles long north to south and fifty miles wide east to west. This site could be the reason for the Carolina Bay formations. Also on land in Kenosha Wisconsin they discovered one of the largest stoney meteorites ever found on earth over a hundred years ago while building the down town train station. There is no crater for this large meteor and its origin is a mystery as to where it had landed.

    I’m aware of Huygen’s Cosmotheoros but I had to draw the line somewhere given the constraints of space—there is only one chapter in the book devoted to this specific subject, so I couldn’t be encyclopedic. I am sympathetic, too, regarding your concerns about Huygens’ work on light. Like Leibniz, who independently developed calculus, his contribution has been overshadowed by Newton. But, again, if I had used Huygens as my example it would have required more explanation than space allowed since most readers would have been unfamiliar with his work on optics. Perhaps future editions of the book will allow me to include “Cosmotheoros,” which I would like to do.

    Martin Luther was in fact among the first religious leaders to condemn Copernicus and Galileo, well before the Catholic Church did. The latter actually resisted doing so for some time, but ultimately gave in to pressure. I discuss the complex history of all this in my book, “Recentering the Universe.”

  • Reply to: From Mighty Bear Dogs to Breathless Bulldogs: How Human Manipulation Has Changed the Shape of Canines Forever   6 years 5 months ago

    Ever wonder where the pound dog came from? The mutt, mixed breed, maybe you got from a friend whose dog had a litter. Maybe you paid big bucks for an AKC, “with papers,” as status symbols that look exactly like all the rest like a clone. Maybe you paid big bucks for a “designer dog,” from a puppy mill, a fancy name for mutt or mixed breed. No matter, they all start out as a cute, cuddly, ball of fur, don't they? It is not by accident that we have pound dogs.

    Many studies from around the world have culminated in a very sound theory as to how the dog came into being. A 5 decade long breeding study, behavioral studies of the dog, as well as the wolf, DNA studies of many different breeds of dogs, DNA studies of wolves from around the world, have brought the theory to fruition.
    Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a lone wolf. Wolves, at times, are ostracized from the pack for reasons unbeknownst to us. Sometimes they repack with the pack, sometimes a different pack, sometimes they perished. On rare occasions, though, they took a different path altogether. The wolf is a social hunter that is hard wired to adapt. A social hunter by itself is almost less than nothing, and survival is bleak. No matter, the wolf is alone now. The wolf adapts, and puts its nose up in the air to catch a scent, and starts to track it.
    After some time, a few days perhaps, the wolf finds some bones, and scavenges. A few flecks of meat, sinew, a bit of bone marrow eases the pangs, the wolf rests. Upon awakening, the wolf's pangs are back. Adapting once more, the wolf puts its nose to the ground, and finds the scent trail leading away, and tracks it. More days pass, and the wolf finds some more bones, this time there is 2 or 3 times as many. The wolf feeds, rests, and adapts again, by quickening its pace tracking the scent trail. Days turn into weeks, bones are scavenged, finally the wolf catches up to what is leaving all of the bones.
    Another pack of social hunters, they smell different. Cunning, the wolf watches this pack of social hunters, lurking, always downwind and out of sight, a good ½ country mile away, using its keen eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell. When the other pack of social hunters kill, feed, and move on, the wolf comes out and feeds. Bored, lonely, not hungry the wolf adapts one more time. Watching how the other pack hunts, the wolf stops lurking. The wolf sees the prey in the trees, the wolf flanks the trees, making itself seen, flushing the prey towards the new pack of social hunters. But the wolf must be cautious and wary, as this pack of social predators, they use spears! In all of the mayhem man kills more meat than otherwise. As the commotion settles, man looks up to see the iconic image of the lone wolf standing at the edge of the trees, panting... with a smile.
    Without the wolf, man would never have been able to domesticate the Auroch, and breed it down to beef, nor any other herd animal. We owe the dog for domesticating herd animals today, as well as ourselves. On a whim man has bred the descendant of the iconic lone wolf down to such abominations as the English bull dog, which only exist due to artificial insemination and c-sections. Pugs and the hairless toy xolos are another whim. The mutt is, however, from a genetic stand point, a little more diverse, like it's iconic ancestor, the wolf, rather than the look alike, clone-like abominations man pays big bucks for, “with papers.”
    For reasons unbeknownst to me, maybe just another whim, man's best friend is ostracized and taken to the pound. A domesticated, social hunter, hard-wired to adapt, by itself is less than nothing and survival is bleak. No matter, the dog is alone now. The dog will use its keen senses and adapt. When man takes the dog to the pound, we see, and hear yapping dogs, we smell feces, and urine. The dog senses much more, they smell the pheromones of the other dogs, they smell the fear, hear the anxious barking, and see all the abandonment. That is not all, they smell the chemicals used to euthanize the pound dogs, and the incinerator. They can sense all of the death. So the pound dog adapts.
    I have conducted 3 anecdotal studies of my own of the pound dog, descendant of the iconic lone wolf. They are always adapting, and all I need to do is provide a little food, water, exercise and a sense of belonging, and the pound dog will never, ever forget what you did for them. From day 1 until their final day, they never forget it. They also never let me forget either.
    One of my favorite things to do is head to the mountains and let my pound dogs romp, much like their iconic ancestor, the lone wolf. The coolest thing I have ever seen is them, standing at the edge of the trees, panting...with a smile. The iconic pound dog, a domesticated, social hunter, hard wired to adapt, that will never, ever forget. As another domesticated, social hunter, that smells different, and also hard wired to adapt, I can never forget what they did for me, even after their final day.
    If you want a best friend forever, no matter, you are hard wired to adapt. So adapt, shut off the internet, throw away your i-phone, go to the pound, and head for the hills. They won't forget it, you won't regret it, honest to God about it, three anecdotal studies, and one very sound scientific theory have shown.

    Sitchin and his followers are going to get their panties all bunched up over this. not me, of course i was taught in catholic school that God was punishing the sinful. wiping the world clean so to speak. to be honest this is far more believable because you have real evidence. not a brown dwarf binary twin to the sun, not God almighty either, just a comet, ordinary everyday comet... that works for me. thanx!

    It's clear that the skull in the photographs, except the Herto skull, is not from Homo sapiens.
