Morning William, So they were all about time and balance. Earth’s location in space. Perhaps about a time when we are closer to the sun and our polar ice caps melt just as they are doing today.
I believe the ancient mound builders were trying to show us where East used to be. If you draw a line through the earthworks (51.8 degrees from North today) and then draw a line at a 90 degree through the center of the complex, it would show you where the North pole use to be. If you know where North use to be you can compare it to Hapgood’s ( Path of the Pole, forward by Albert Einstein) pole locations over the last 100,000 years and it will give you a date on the complex.
My friends have told me that the earth will shake like a dog getting out of the water when the two twins (ice caps) leave their post. This might be one of the reasons for the complex. Just my thoughts and thank you for the information.
And one would wonder where these ancient Egyptians ever got these ideas and sets of religious dogmas from? Who was it that actually gave them these long, complicated ordeals that only the well prepared might makes it to paradise? Do we not have the same thing being preached by religions today? Mysticism and religious hokum-pokum have plagued mankind from the beginning. And we're still trying to please some living god or great invisible super spook in the aether! Mankind is NUTS!!!
I'm pretty sure that the Mediterranean Sea didn't exist 7 million years ago. I think it was a dry basin and that the Straits of Gibralter were plugged. I think part of this plug collapsed about 6 million years ago and the 'Atlantic' flowed in filling the basin over a hundred year period. (Which is why dwarf hippos were found on Crete when humans first arrived - can't remember when - about five thousand years ago.) This would mean that Africa and Europe were joined and both animals and hominids could move freely. "Africa' and 'Europe' did not exist as seperate land masses. To be imputing racial significance to 7 million year old hominids is pretty bloody stupid.
We now know of five human types still alive in the last 100.000 years. Aboriginal and New Guinean DNA suggests that maybe 10 additional different types of yet unidentified human lines existed, all of which must have seperated less than a million years ago or they would be completely different species and we would have no genetic trace of them. Probably they were very close to us. The jawbone in this article is over 7 million years old. How many different hominids may have existed at this time? Could be dozens - just look at the monkey family? Why would you assume that this hominid even contributed to the genetic line of homo sapiens sapiens?
All that's happened is that a hominid jawbone has been found in Europe. Several have also been found in Asia. All we can safely know is that the human story will be more complex, suprising and exciting than anything we can imagine. As THINGS STAND we all came from Africa but if it turns out that 7 million years ago a hominid, who contributed some genes to us, stood of a rock that would later be called Malta and said to his mates 'South looks good' what's this got to do with race?
Tom - I thought I would share some research on the subject holy stone. The sides make a 26.4 degree angle which is the centering angle in the Ohio Rock. The Holy stone makes a perfect bob for reading the inner dial of the Ohio Rock as it is tilted on its base to read latitude. The 26.4 degree latitude was the sacred latitude of Egypt. The 26.4 degree angle is the main hall slope in the great pyramid. The 26.4 degree angle is the home angle in the lodestone compass. The decalog stone seems to be self explanatory. The stone cup was used as a water level to maintain latitude by marking a line inside the cup that corresponds to the aperture of the sun during the year. The user would fill the cup with water to the proper mark depending on the time of year, place the cup on a rod and point it toward the mid-day sun. If water ran out the navigator was to far north, If it did not run out the navigator was to far south.
New Orleans and other cities are doing the same thing in the US. Tearing down monuments is an attempt to deny people their history and heritage by destroying the proof of their existence. I suggest a quick read of the book "1984."
Sometimes I wondered how our current world could be so empty, where all those beast, dragons, unicorns and so on went. Well now I, as I learn more and more about those things, wonder how they survived in our mythology and collective memory for so long. It's sad that we could not bring them back, how I would love to saw some of those beasts roam wast lands of Siberia, active volcanoes in my country (well "we" had one roughly 160 000BCE).
It's almost like something carried them away and then age of man came and everything changed.
There is really no difference between ISIL and liberal snowflakes taking down statues. They are just as offended as ISIL in their destruction, just no guns or explosives.
May I ask why I feel so much anger from your comment? It's old, and and long dead, why are you so angered by that?
We should not judge ancient times with modern eyes, age of adulthood changed greatly through human history. Wen don't know their definition of old man, how old they were when they started with this practice... Considering one old could be greatly shifted by large portion of population which even did not made it to adulthood and thus those of 30 could be considered old. And so on.
Anyhow this is so long ago that being emotional about that is in my opinion nonsense.
Have you considered that Jews were perhaps not seen in good light back then and as well Mediterranean sea was still hot area, conflicts with Ottomans were present still. In such situation it would create public outrage to show circumcised man as both those groups do it. perhaps people it would consider as something inappropriate. As well ancients statues have foreskins so perhaps because of it as well. Or he did not even knew how circumcised penis looks.
Hi Tom and thanks for the fast reply. I am sure you have your opinion on Ohio mounds and artifacts and I wish you had some photos of my 40 years of research, including the short time with the late B Fell. The Hopewell were here long before the Ohio Rock or the 3 artifacts found in the Newark area. Newark, Ohio is the most northern point of the 100 mile Hopewell road which Brad Lepper has published a book some time back. The Ohio Rock was found in 1977 by my wife at the south end of the Hopewell Road near the Ohio River. This road which is straight and sides lined with 2 foot high stones as well as pave stones has all been destroyed over the years, however evidence still exist as its function. I call it the killing field because it is where larger spear points are found which were used to kill the short legged bison that once were in Ohio. These bison migrated each year from Kentucky and crossed the Ohio River at the three islands near Manchester Ohio. When the Portuguese led by Michael Corte real in 1511 established camp to place a time stone marker to surface at a later date to show some important ancient old world artifacts (including the 3 at Newark, Ohio) that were placed near the rocks location, they altered the cycle of the migrating bison and the food for the Hopewell. Additional items have been found that support this theory and date, however I am not too interested in having amateurs dig up the land for personal collection or story fabrication. Thanks again for answering my post.
The love of money is the root of all evil, Jesus said. Follow the money trail of the wicked which. Hillary, Obamanation, Bush and the list goes on. The ones behind the curtain who created isis.
I have read a lot of descriptions of these texts but none seem to hint or give any explanation anywhere of what that mysterious hand-held ‘bag’ is that almost all of their statues appear to be carrying. And also now that they have published lots of pics of Gobekli Tepe – there they are again ‘handbags’ – 3 in a row- on top of one of the carved pillars. Does anyone have any idea what they represent – it drives me crazy, it’s the first thing i look for in any ancient statue or relief ! We talk about the ‘book of knowledge’ – I am wondring if this is a ‘bag of knowledge’ to them ?
Hello Mr. Smith. The big myth is that the builders of the mounds and pyramids located all around the planet, did this to know when to plant and harvest. I am positive that the Hopi measure the equinox, the solstices, and the half way point between the two. They do not do this to know when to planet or harvest their crops.
To Whom it may concern - The Ohio Rock is a 500 lb sand stone found in Adams County Ohio at the southern end of the 100 mile Hopewell Road. It is a Portuguese time stone that was buried on my farm to show location to something important. As a retired engineer I assure you the Ohio Rock could not have been constructed without the use of the Holy Stone located in Newark. The 26 degrees made from the sides of the Holy Stone was used as a standard to construct the Ohio Rock. In addition to the Ohio Rock to function as a sun dial identified in 1977 by the late Barry Fell it is also a tool for measuring longitude and latitude by the position of the sun and moon at mid-day. I have studied the works of Shively and Horn who detail explain the functions of the Newark sites and the technology of these early people. I have also followed the works of Brad Lepper and Earth Otto as great contributors to Ohio History.
When your destroy a people's history you destroy their identity and culture and you make it easier to assimilate them into your control.
Same mentality that was used on the native Americans, the African slaves, the Jewish during the Holicost

Interesting in general, although the author provides no clear reasons for his theories about the electrical functions of quartz.
Re: "brilliant in contrast to the fauna of the area"
I believe the author meant "flora" rather than "fauna." Used in two places.
Re.: "an 8-by-5-foot square granite slab"
An 8-by-5-foot granite slab is a rectangle, not a square.
First european is the Cromagnon, and the black africans are a modern postglacial deserts formed phenotypes.

No, negative.
First punishments for homosexuality we could find in ancient Mesopotamia, it was typically castration. Sometimes execution.

Thank you for sounding like an educator rather than a boastful educated person those types discourage others to learn and or dialogue with others.

I tried to explain their creation story in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LjsRGZ7BAQ
and perhaps it will help you with your understanding of the Ohio Rock.
Thank you for the comment and the information. all the best. tom
