  • Reply to: Magnificent Gardens of Petra Discovered After 2,000 Years   7 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Abracadabra

    It would be interesting to know what exactly the religion was in the first centuries of the first millennium (of our calendar) because the oldest mosques are all directed towards Petra. So we already can conclude that islam didn't start in Mecca. But was that proto-version of islam a kind of christianity; where they didn't see Jesus as the son of God but just as a 'prophet'? Science has already established that some 70% of the texts of the 'holy' books of islam are actually apocryphal judaistic and christian texts.

    Hello MountainGuardian. Welcome, and it’s great that you took the time to register and look around the site. We hope you’ve been enjoying the articles by our very appreciated writers and guest authors.

    I’m not exactly sure what point you’re trying to make with the two images in the two articles. Very often images are relevant across articles as they touch on the same subject. The cauldron, while recovered from  a bog in Denmark, was not made there, and the images on it are thought to be Celtic in nature.

    Also, people are welcome to read the articles and take what they will from them. Some articles are categorized opinion, or mystery, or even myth and legend, and others are marked history or news, from sources such as archaeology professionals, peer-reviewed science journals, and universities.

    If readers are pleased with the content Ancient Origins, writers and authors work very hard to bring, then they should be able to become subscribed members without your negative name-calling – and you can choose to go your way as well, since you already have your own ‘truth’.

  • Reply to: The True Story of Pocahontas as NOT told by Disney   7 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Joseph v

    You didn't mention the fact that Pocahontas had a daughter with a brave and she married Thomas Pettis/Pettus. This has been known by the three tribes that are Pocahontas's dependents. I wish people would fact check their stories with Native peoples, you may learns something new.

    One has to be aware of the life of Hildegard of Bingen who was one of those educated women and aware of a lot more than just nature.  She was so well accepted she travelled freely in Germany (it was not a country but a conglomerate of duchies) 

  • Reply to: White Skin Developed in Europe Only As Recently as 8,000 Years Ago Say Anthropologists   7 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Bill Ingram

    One interesting line of thinking is that white men did NOT come from earth but from Mars. It is speculated that Earth and Mars nearly collided or brushed against each other and people were thrown from the smaller gravity planet onto the higher gravity planet. Enough survived that a new race was established on earth. The great Rift valley on Mars was the result. The Earths scar included the removal of peaks in Peru (Machupichu) (sp?).
    Earth scientist avoid this line of thought as it is unthinkable to them but physics seems to suggest that this is indeed possible if not absolutely probable.
    Tiemant (the missing planet) got kicked out of orbit and dragged Mars into a collision with earth. Tiemant then left out solar system and Mars and Earth reestablished themselves back into their old orbits.
    Mars and Earth both rebounded and settled back into their gravity wells which are depression at a solar resonance which determines the placement of all planets. Ever notice that the planets are lined up quite specific distances from one another? That is gravity resonance.
    Planets want to be in the center (or depression) of this gravity resonance "well".

    This fact has been Well known for many years. It had been suspected but not definitively proven many years ago.
    This is an important discovery (was an important discovery) and nothing should be taken away that it isn't.
    This article should state the facts accurately or at least have a professional that knows the facts do the reporting.

    Comment Author: Edward Hanson

    "...prehistoric civilizations possessed advanced technological knowledge that was lost throughout the ages only to be redeveloped in modern times."

    There are anomalies out there that we STILL can't reproduce, such as the huge trilithons at Baalbek, and the small diorite Egyptian bottles that are hollow.

    Very good article. This Western demarcation between woman as whore vs woman as madonna is at the centre of most social issues today and throughout history unfortunately.

    Natve American's have nothing to do with that Middle Eastern religious Clap trap! They didnt exist in that fairy tale, keep them out of it! Also, all the Pacific fishing Cultures did grow beards . Haida, Aleuts, Bella Coola, Yuki, Chumash, Peicue, Fuegans. Even the Paiute and some AmaInians had heavy beards. The Chumash and the Yuki in Califirnia had the most full bears. Look up Fernando Librado a full blooded Chumash Indian from Santa Cruz Island off the Coast of Southern California, when the Spanish came they called the island , Island of the Bearded Men. Fernando Librado had a beard that would put a white man to Shame the Chumash Indians were the First Natives to have a true Maritime culture and the only Indians to make and issue true money, they were also the only ones that had guilds to make Boats out of planks. They have lived ob Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz islands continuously for over 13,000 years. Arlington Springs woman is most likely their ancestor. Google the Chumash and Fernando Librado if you dont believe me. Youll never say Indians cant grow beards again.

    Funny how the facts are there but you choose to ignore it. The bible is too extraordinary to be invented. How do you think you got here? You know very well the Pharisee Jews control the world. Tell me, do you think the current world is cruel?

    The first reaction to truth is hatred.
    Tertullian

    Prevention of birth is a precipitation of murder. (we have normalized human sacrifices called abortion)
    Tertullian

    You cannot parcel out freedom in pieces because freedom is all or nothing.

    Truth engenders hatred of truth. As soon as it appears, it is the enemy.

    Tertullian

    It is certain because it is possible.
    Tertullian

    The more you mow us down, the more numerous we grow; the blood of Christians is seed.
    Tertullian

    Tertullian (160-220) said that the Catholic Faith and Jewish power are like the two pans of a pair of scales: as Catholic Faith goes up, so Jewish power goes down, and as Catholic Faith goes down, so Jewish power goes up. But the Faith overtops the power. That is why the primary problem is not the Jews, but the increase or decrease of the Faith amongst men. That is why conspiracies do exist, they have an important part to play and they are not to be merely scorned, but the central problem is men turning away from the true God in his one true Church. In brief -- and here is the crucial point – the Gentiles have only themselves to blame if Jewish power is today so great.

  • Reply to: Buddhism in Ancient Egypt and Meroe – Beliefs Revealed Through Ancient Script   7 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: A Grateful Guest

    Perhaps the world is ready to learn that all religions flow from Hinduism in every respect, to include the Abramic (Brahma); Judaism, Christianity and Islamic, and that YHWH is none other than Shiva. In fact, the 'Jews' or Jooees, are known to have arrived from India as an offshoot of Hinduism long ago, settling in northern Syria as the Hyksos and Hyklos. They've always been the proto-Israelites and nothing will ever change it.
    We owe much to India and her people as an obvious cradle of humanity and home to the oldest religion on this planet, a well as some of the most intelligent and beautiful people this earth has ever known. Without India and Kerala as but one learning center, Pythagorus would never have learned what little he did. Apollonius studied in India as did Jesus. Apollonius was a Therapeutae and an Essene.
    Egypt owes its religion and its pyramidal architects to India, as does every civilization on this planet.
    Thank you for the wealth of knowledge you've shared, and demand your wealth stolen by England finally be returned to its rightful owners, unless we're unsure why the UK is fading into the sunset in true karmic fashion.
    Namaste.
