    Comment Author: DAVID TOWLE

    It would seem the author forgot the unique blood type the Basque peoples. . Their origin is way different than any other Europeans. They are not related.

    I thought that it was well known that tin and other trade goods from the British Isles and from the Mediterranean were exchanged long before the time of Christ. And seamen have been known to keep girls in multiple ports for thousands of years. :) And many times, it's the women who spread religion to the native men.

    "First of all, there has been an indigenous population living in the Americas." Humans are no more indigenous to the Western Hemisphere than are the Duck-billed Platypus. The first human being who set foot in the Americas came from the Eastern Hemisphere. Where in the Eastern Hemisphere is still to be determined. As another stated, Columbus was the first well documented landing, even if he never quite made it to the North American continent. That doesn't take away from his and Isabella's accomplishment.

    Anthropology and archeology are arts, not science as there is no way to replicate new discoveries. Instead belief is based upon a preponderance of empirical 'evidence'. And once upon a time, in a world not so long ago, Galileo was mocked by the 'scientists' of his day. And look at us now. As in evolutionary biology, mainstream scientists mock anyone and anything that might force them to adjust their scientific acceptance.

    Comment Author: Paracelse

    Natalia, it seems that your dates are few centuries off.  I was reading about the amber necklace found in the Vix gravesite which is over 2500 years old (circa 6th century BCE) and sizeable beads of amber have been found in what was the remnant of a bronze necklace, which means Celts knew of the Amber Route and must have settled in Poland before 450 BCE

    Too bad pure Sapien Africans did not advance much in the present days huh.
    So unlike neanderthal - denisovan subhumans!

    Dark ages were not so dark too, south american, middle eastern and asian cultures flourished around that time.

    Also why the africa-centric, euro-centric view though. You're not the only people around.

    Moses was nowhere near 400 years removed from Jacob and Esau. His parents were the grandson and daughter of Levi. The count of 400 years begins way back at the birth of Isaac.

    Have you tried to use vinegar to soften granite?
    More to the point, you don't actually literally recall what Hannibal used?
    You keep saying "I have an idea..." Have you actually tried this?
    I have, vinegar doesn't soften granite. It may work on other things, but doesn't soften granite.
    This is not something that needs to stay in the area of belief : we have vinegar these days. We have granite these days....

    Six feet doesn't seem so deep of you consider they might have put two feet of gravel in the bottom of the hole to keep the posts from sitting in water and rotting away. After all, they were digging in clay, which does not drain well if at all. Eight foot tall fence, four more feet in the ground and two feet of drain rock? Not so farfetched if they were building a stout fence that tall to last a very long time. And maybe it was just five feet instead of six for all we know. I'm glad I didn't have to dig those holes though!

    I'd like to see them reconstruct Catal Hyuck. (Is that how it's spelled?)

  • Reply to: The Enigma Surrounding the Stunning Lady Of Elche   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: William John Meegan

    The Lady of Elche appears symbolically to be a representation of the Merkabah wheels out Ezekiel's vision.

    I am working on a paper now to illustrate that Ezekiel's Merkabah (Chariot) wheels is blueprinted via the wording of the first chapter of Genesis liken to architectural schematics and is actually ethereally and artistically symbolized in the mosaics and frescoes of the Sistine Chapel. The whole of the chapel is Ezekiel's Merkaba (Chariot).

  • Reply to: Ancient Beehive Tombs of Oman – So, Where are the Bodies?   7 years 6 months ago
    Comment Author: Darawayush

    This is much less a mystery or secret than depicted. I was once a tour guide there, and found some more of those tombs in the desert (only the tourists were disturbing), apart from this tourist attraction of Hilli Grand Tomb near Al Ain.
    The explanation is quite simple. You can find quite similar tombs in India built by members of the Parsees. As their name indicates, they originally came from Iran/Persia after Islamic conquests.
    Their religion (which is related to that of Zoroaster) requires that their bodies should not come in contact with earth - no time and spaces to explain this here more in detail.
    So where they are? As the tombs are open at the top, the bodies were just taken or eaten by birds. This is the simple answer to the problem.

    "THEN was not non-existent nor existent: there was no realm of air, no sky beyond it.
    What covered in, and where? and what gave shelter? Was water there, unfathomed depth of water?"

    The 'Hindu' word for zero is Sunyam. That is where the notion of zero came from and became part of our everyday number system. Sunyam is the infinitesimal point of nothingness out of which everything came about. How is it possible that everything came out of nothingness of zero dimension? Well, Physics is saying the same thing!!! God is that nothingness of zero dimension! SHE exists only when you can successfully justify HER existence, through your intellect. When you fail, SHE also disappears. But I have seen my GODs. They brought me into this world and spent their entire life to rear me and become someone who is worthy of being a part of this Universe in a living form.
