Cotta, I'm sorry to disturb your absolute certainty about what does and doesn't happen with epilepsy, but as a person who DOES have it, I can tell you that my hallucinations have included full bodied people that move and talk.
rothchilds are easily worth trillions combined. they have controlled the money printers forever, in almost every developed country, and even some in some ‘3rd world’ ones.
Actually … Tom Carberry … Considering that you are probably not au fait with how Africa worked prior to European Colonization, it is not only unwise to make speculative statements suggesting knowledge of African means and ways.
The paste is called Ibumba, and was in use since time immemorial, and can also be used as a skin lightener in addition to being a hydration medium.
Addittioinally, cattle were domesticated in Africa since time immemorial, a simple case in point being my geneology that goes back 18 generations, with the 1st in line actually being famous for having an extraordinarily large herd of cattle. Add to that the fact that our tribe, thought of as Nguni (of which the Masai, Swazi, Zulu & Xhosa (as well as sub-nations that broke off from those base clans) people of today are a part of) today, originated in Southern Kenya / Northern Tanzania and were forced by drought to migrate South to what is now known as the South Coast of KZN.
My opinion is ... It is unwise to speak of something one knows very little of because it not only exposes the arrogance of the West regarding Africa, but also the lack of real knowledge of the facts … My suggestion is …. GO spend a long time with the Natives, earn their trust, and perhaps they will share some of their extremely rich oral tradition, which is still passed from generation to generation till this day, about who is what, and did what in Africa before Europeans showed up and decided what borders fall wherever they saw fit per their various colonial agenda.
“History is written by the victors” “To the victors go the spoils” There are reasons why these old chestnuts came to be. However much we may hate these ideas there they are. We cannot change the past. Will returning these items to present date Nigeria do anything to reconstitute Benin? Unlikely. What will happen to the Parthenon friezes if they are return to Greece? My take is that they would be sold by the Greek government in order to cover part of the enormous national debt, they would then disappear into private collections never to be seen again.
To compare the “looting” (love the use of inflammatory language) and preservation of artifacts from countries and civilizations which no longer exist to the rape and attempted genocide of modern peoples such as in the holocaust is disingenuous.
Go ahead, trace the ownership of the artifacts to the decendants of the person who carved them or owned them and return them to that person, not to some government official who may or may not have legal ownership or who may or may not be part of a properly constituted government who will take care of artifacts and preserve them for future generations as does the current institutions where such artifacts reside.
If a country wishes to claim something as their own, can prove it is from a culture indigenous to that country or geographic area and can provide adequate insurance that the artifacts will be taken care of and be available for future research then let them make a claim and work it out with the current institution holding the articles.
Please note I said “holding”. To my way or thinking these items are not “owned” by museums and institutions, they belong to all of us. We are all branches of the same tree. Regardless of what our ancestors might have thought I would hope we have advanced somewhat in our thinking and no longer view others as superior or inferior based upon skin colour or area or origin.
It doesn't rule out the possibility that his death, which happened around the time of Sir Stricheley.... was actually someone else... His diet consisted of a great deal of salted fish..which was probably herring and he could even have been a visiting knight from either Scotland or England...correlation and coincidence yes, but casuation?

"There are stories about Lechia's leaders (not kings in typical meaning) fighting with Alexander who lost the fight. "
yes, there are. Stories made up by medieval writers which aimed at boosting up glory of their king's dynasty and prestige of the state. There are NO ancient sources mentioning Alexander (or Caesar, or anyone else) fighting any "Lechia leaders" or "Lechia".
The whole idea that 100% of what medieval and early modern writers did wrote is true is plain wrong and rely on lack of any knowledge of writing styles, "spirit of the era", political agendas of that time etc.
Science is not of believing in something or not, but about analyzing facts. DNA analysis can not be related to etnos of people. Language, and culture is not inherited in genes, but learned by growing up at one culture or another. Poland as culture was born at early middle ages. Besides modern polish culture is not the same as earlier and have many influences form neighboring countries.
There are stories about Lechia's leaders (not kings in typical meaning) fighting with Alexander who lost the fight. Scythians are considered as ancestros of Lechia's citizens. Obviously Poland was not born in 966AD but earlier. After reasearchinf haplogripus in DNA Polish people can prove they lived in Poland for at least 9000 years so far. You do not have to believe it but keep that in mind that we have more an more prove.
We need to assume that the ancients who built the Newgrange and the structures at Baltinglass had the same motive and thought process. Celts who came later must have had some connection to them. Gobekli Tepi looks like a failed attempt to do something similar.
I don't know where you get your information on evolution, but it has never claimed that apes turned into humans. It says that apes and humans have a common ancestor.
I think that while the tribe was getting ready and setting for their feast, they were attacked and drove out of the area. Some of them were most likely killed, kidnapped, or both. Also, aliens could play a major role in why the tribe "vanished". I'm neutral on the existence of aliens, but I have to admit, it is still a possibility.
That would be interesting, but I’d be surprised if they matched, as they come from two different places and two completely different traditions. The Coronation stone came from Scotland and probably originated there, and the London Stone is probably from the hills around the Thames Valley.
Well, with respect, I think I have explained why ths London Stone is significant – it has come to be seen as a tangible remnant of the myth of Brutus of Troy, the mythological founder of Britain.
The Coronation Stone is a fascinating object, with many myths attached to it as you indicate, but it is completely different to the London Stone. But it’s an interesting point. The British Isles have two major origin myths, one (concerning the arrival of the sons of Milesius) from Gaelic Scotland and Ireland, and the other (concerning Brutus of Troy) from Wales. Both stories include stones – the Coronation stone in the Gaelic tradition, and the London Stone in the one derived from Wales. It shows how myth-making often involves mirroring what is there already.
I agree that it would be wonderful if we could find a way of making stones reveal their secrets, in the way we have found how to use DNA to discover the genetic history hidden in our own bodies. But until that day, we can use only surviving records, and myths: for the London Stone's story, I hope you have enjoyed the article above and that you will enjoy reading my book, "Brutus of Troy, and the quest for the ancestry of the British" which provides the wider context and background.
Viewing the detail of this map compared to the Aegean Sea map, it appears rather obvious that the map cannot be of a larger space but actually contains smaller detail of a much smaller area. The land detail representing the plains and hills is totally incorrect for a country map.
I have found the exact bay that matches the rocks, rivers and details and this follows the exploration around the Arctic circle. The google map reference has been posted earlier. If detail under the ice is incredibly accurate how come most other details are so distorted? Because there are other options, this bay is a perfect match so for me the case is solved.
Well, as a chemist for over 20 years, I do know something about chemistry. And since alum (which is a salt) is fixed into the fabric, it would not be degraded or barely react with salt from sweat. Even if it did, alum contains six water molecules per one of Aluminum, so the reaction would be an absorption of of the NaCl. Then there's the 3-D photographic properties, the microscopic, fine details, which sweat reaction could not only not produce, but would bleed and smear. There are probably a hundred other reasons why the sweat theory does not hold up. But the biggest stumbling block is that it is well-established that scientists from every discipline have not returned a reasonable or acceptable answer to how the image was produced, except to say that it was the product of as high-energy burst of radiation in the form of heat and light.
Also, attempts to reproduce it, even with high energy lasers have fallen short. Don't you think someone would have come up with the sweat trick by now, maybe draping an alum-soaked cloth over a sweated human body?

Greetings,
These stone spheres are found naturally occuring in New Zealand. As large balls they are also rather easy to relocate.

Except of course the "terrorists" are actually killing loads of people
