  • Reply to: The Origin of the Knights Templar – Descendants of Jewish Elders?   7 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Manuel Rosa

    Really, the Burgundians left France to Jerusalem but took the "treasure" to Scotland, instead of to Portugal where two of the original 9 Templar were from and where their cousin, Count Henry of Portucale was busy working on a new kingdom?
    Why does this author ignore the fact that the Templar Knights continued to exist under a renamed order, the Order of Christ?
    It would be nice to follow facts...

    "... seems beyond the capabilities of ancient technology."

    These words need to be erased from human vocabulary. The more we learn about "ancient technology",, the more absurd that phrase becomes.

    Frederic, thanks for posting this article, and I wish I'd found it when writing the following,l as I would have included a link to it at the very least when writing my own piece about the find at Wadi-al-Jarf and the Great Pyramid. But that said, while the Wadi-al-Jarf papyri, the oldest Egyptian papyri yet found, do talk about construction on the Giza Plateau, I feel that there's still room for doubt that the Great Pyramid is solely attributable to Khufu. As I wrote in the following article:

    They are 'making Britain Great Again" - just like we in America are going to make it great AGAIN. It's punks like you and your castrati leftist elitist view of everything is why Trump won. Hey boy - we live in the real world. Unlike pansy Obama voters like you - you've been rejected. I can tell your little brain can't handle this but I think you'll live. Your mindset is in the minority and always has been. The 3rd world Muslims in the mideast don't care about these art objects because they are immersed in poverty - why? - from idiot self serving Islamists who would chop your head off without thinking running everything over there. Those dark skinned idiots are just that - idiots - able to acquire all the comforts of a modern world but live in squalor by choice. You are a leftist fool whose fantasy land existence is found in textbooks and pea brains of idiot liberal professors the world over.

  • Reply to: The Truth Behind the Christ Myth: Ancient Origins of the Often Used Legend – Part I   7 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Chris Allan

    Jesus of Nazereth was in all probability a real person, however there are many things in the church teachings that simply do not add up. Having been brought up in the Christian faith, I started to have my doubts when reading the bible. I have since been trying to trace the origins of the legend of Jesus. He was only one of a long line of people said to have been born of a virgin, died on a cross and resurrected after 3 days. From what Jesus is reputed to have said, I don't think he meant to say he was the only son of God, I think he was misunderstood, his meaning was that we are all sons of god, himself included. The Roman Catholic Church was established a long time after he died, I believe they used the cult around Jesus to establish the church and embellished the legend with various beliefs already in existence in various other religions. For instance the legend of dying on the cross and being resurrected after 3 days has its origin in Egypt. The Egyptians took very careful note of the movement of the sun and noted the point at which it rose. In ancient times the sun would rise a little further south each day after midsummer and eventually on December 22 it would stop moving south, at which time it would rise in the Southern Cross constellation, thus it "died" on the cross. After 3 days the sun would rise in a more Northerly position and thus was resurrected or reborn. This is I believe where the legend of gods dying on the cross and being reborn originated. I dare say many people will not agree.

  • Reply to: Why NOT to celebrate Columbus Day   7 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Monica Elisabet...

    Along and through History, conquerors have had violent behaviour. Not many civilizations were safe when invaders arrived, from Assirians to Vikings; from Gengis Khan to the Roman Empire; from the Jewish general Joshua to the colonial British Empire. If we blame Columbus and the Spanish kings, we should also blame every other invader and conqueror in History.
    Columbus Day means that finally, America was economically assimilated to Europe, in those times peopled by Western dominant civilizations. If instead of Columbus, a Chinese marine had arrived first and "colonized" America, would be blaming the Chinese for the destruction of American civilizations? If Columbus had been an Englishman, or a Frenchman, would have they behaved in a different way? I doubt it. Just bear in mind that the verb "colonize" and the terms "colony", and "colonial" derive from... Columbus ("Colon", in Spanish spelling).

  • Reply to: Supervolcano That May Have Wiped out Neanderthals Comes to Life Again   7 years 3 months ago
    Comment Author: Willy

    It's highly unlikely that Neanderthals were wiped out by this volcano's eruption 39,000 years ago for 2 reasons. 1) a recent redating of Neanderthal remains shows that they became extinct earlier than previously thought. Most likely about 43,000 years ago which is 4 thousand years before the aforementioned eruption and 2) because Neanderthals never went extinct in the classical sense of the word. Rather, they seem to have been absorbed into Homo sapiens via introgressive hybridization.

    The found symbol is an Ancient Bulgarian Runic symbol of Mother Godess and Her Son the God Sun, whereas the cross stands for God Sun and the horizontal sign in the form of papillon is the symbol of Mother Godess of Ancient Bulgarians. Those symbols are first found in Bulgarian cave magura and they date back 43000 years according to researchers. - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=998788236907466&set=a.313566...

    Thanks for the explanation of underworld.

    The underworld was exactly that, the realm under the seen, known world beneath their feet.

    The stars, the planets, the sun and the moon, all would pass through the underworld before rising again.

    Not a spiritual realm or a hell of punishment.

    Just another phase of existence.
