  • Reply to: Archaeologists Discover that Earliest Known Arabic Writing Was Penned by a Christian   7 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: A.Maslow

    This is really HILLARIous how a wiki-zombie accuses academics, who in his imagination represent Trump, of their incompetence. However science has to do with something more than Wikipedia and political engagement. First of all, I would advice the wiki-zombie to study Arabic and read Abu Musa Al-Hariri's "Priest and Prophet: story on origin of Islam" (قس ونبی - بحث فی نشأة الاسلام - ابو موسی الحریری) where one can find the summary about the cross-religious dialogue/connections between X-nity and S-lam. Learn about Waraka Bin Nawfal. Second, if one really likes to investigate, start with the Prophet MHMD's genealogical tree, and pay special attention to the connection of MHMD's great-great-grandfather Qusay Bin Kilab Bin Murra to the Tubba Abu Karib As'ad Kamil, Al-Kahinan, Hulail Bin Hushbiya and the shrine of Ka'aba. Third, learn some linguistics and the evolution of the Arab script, horouf and harakat. Fourth, I recommend to read Kees Versteegh's "Arabic in the Pre-Islamic Period". And finally remember A. Schopenhauer's “Clio, the muse of history, is as thoroughly infected with lies as a street whore with syphilis”.

    I think I just found the same evidence you have and fully support your theory. The "Elevation Meter" is pretty hard to argue with if it is as accurate as I understand it to be from "known" Depths and Elevations. It would explain a huge amount of discoveries around it.

    I may have found it while chasing down other Stories and Locations shared here at Ancient Origins. If so then it has been right under our noses the whole time...we have just been thinking too small. The location would explain a huge number of discoveries over the last 200 years. It Truly fits the Description of Atlantis and there is "in your face" proof all over the place.

    Thank you for your reply!, I agree, the refusal to recognize that everything natural does indeed cycle is a problem. There have been Five "Ice Ages" over the last 500,000 years of Mankind yet we refuse to look beyond the very last one. Man could have advanced and declined during every one of these.

    I'm just having trouble with the overall sureness that Early Man would never try to stick his toes in the Water. Removing just this concept alone would open huge barriers in thought and discovery. I am very sure that many very early Symbols do indeed share Round Earth and Seafaring knowledge.

    But because if the Firewall Mental Block the theories are tossed to the side and never investigated further. Why is the "What if they could?" form of investigation so Radical and Irrational? The theory that man absolutely feared water and would never touch it until only about 4,000 years ago is just as Radical and Irrational and down right lacks any Proof in Fact.

    You are right...Those who have proven the Earth Round now once again view it as flat without further discussion. So without any facts to support their own sureness then it could only originate from Superstition, Blindness or Ignorance and is unfortunately a huge loss for Science...

    That is very interesting. Thanks very much. I will look into that.

    Here in Cornwall around the 6th century there was a battle between King Tewdwr of Brittainy and Penwith and some religious people. Tewdwr slaughtered some saints and others because they refused to worship his pagan gods. Tewdwrs settlement is not far from the administrative centre of the Hundred of Penwith (Connerton). So is there is a chance that King Arthur may have simply been King of Lesnewth, Lesnewth being the Hundred in which Tintagel was situated? Translated Lesnewth means “New Court”,  the Old Court being in Helston. A court was apparently a chieftains estate, and Lesnewth was the seat of a Celtic chieftain who ruled over the neighbouring Hundred of Trigg/Triggshire. "Trigg is mentioned by name during the 7th century, as "Pagus Tricurius", "land of three war hosts".The high incidence of imported pottery from the period found at Tintagel Castle suggest this was an area of high significance, where war bands from the region may have congregated”. Hope this helps in some way.

    A lot of those pictographs shown on this rock in Brazil look like plasma signatures.

  • Reply to: Is this a 300 million-year-old screw or just a fossilized sea creature?   7 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: Nathan

    It disappoints me that so few people notice the crucial (and in my mind definitive) detail about the shape of the object. Do the object's ridges form a spiral (like a scew / bolt), or is it a stack of rings? A crinoid stalk appears to be stacked rings or segments that are all (for a distance) of the same diameter but they never form a spiral. The threads of a screw or bolt, however are of a spiral, and that is what should be focused on. If it is a spiral whose ridge diameters are of a consistent diameter, then this is a created object designed in specifications to perform a function; if so, then it IS A BOLT.

    The gods brought the Canaanites here when Cain was exiled from the Edin. The gods also marked them genetically so they could not grow beards.

    No brainwashing here mate. Your comments prove how little you understand about God and what I believe.

    Also, Jesus and YhWh are also myths. Most myths have a grain of truth to them.
    Also, the stories in the bible have been told over and over again.....a few THOUSAND years before the "birth of Christ"....yup, even the birth, death&resurection myths were told LONG before jesus was was born.....Excuse my typing. I'm arthritic.

    That would include YOUR God too. You cannot have it both ways. Your logic is faulty. YhWh is just another "God" created by men to control the masses.
    Your canned argument just shoes us that you ate incapable of entertaining any facts other than the ones that you've been programmed with.
    Christianity was a spin off of Judaism. It was made so that EVERYONE could be controlled and manipulated just like the Jews were/are (since goyum are not supposed to be allowed into TRUE Judaism because we are nothing more than "beasts of burden" put here to "serve God's CHOSEN PEOPLE"!!
    You really should learn more about what you are talking about before trying to condescend to and loom down upon others with far more info and far less brain washing than you.
    I was once brainwashed like you. Christianity was once called a cult....just like every religion YOU GUYS call cults!

    Cornwall is indeed a Celtic area of Britain, with a marvelous history, but it is also an English county with a county council: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/

    Thank you for your comment. Regarding the offering of swords, you might be interested in seeing this article: https://web.stanford.edu/dept/archaeology/cgi-bin/archaeolog/?p=181

    And yet, I thoroughly enjoyed reading an article about a 'lost' history, despite the slight 'contextual' errors or omissions of place names in a more detailed and modern context.

    In fact, the map as is, provided me the proper context for where these events took place using present day, modern and commonly known nomenclature. well done, i say.

    btw, the information that swords were often placed in sacred bodies of water was new info to me. Further clarity came with Philips comments, so kudos there as well.

    well done guys. good article imho.

    Well, all the superstitions/religions aside. The problem is that mainstream archaeology and science in general refuse to acknowledge cyclical advancement when all over the globe we see evidence of advanced knowledge and technology which simply ceased at some time in the distant past only to begin again in the last 200 years, cycling back up.

    Sailing the seas was understood LONG before Columbus got lost. The Romans sailed the seas. And they weren’t the first. The Piri Riis map from the 1500’s, shows the coastline antarctica deviod of ice (and topographically correct) and it was copied from much older source maps according to its author.

    Somewhere around 12K years ago there was a major cataclysm which wiped out a lot of the worlds population. It also erased the knowledge those people had. There are ancient Chinese anchors on the seabed off the coast of California. A “round” earth wasn’t heresy before the rise of the current round of superstition/religions.

    Slave traders from Byzantium or North Africa is another possibility. Blond slaves were in great demand. In North Africa at this time, a lighter skin tone was associated with the aristocracy, a legacy of the period (400-700 Ad) when the Visigoths ruled North Africa, and one way for a wealthy Moor to improve his family pedigree was to have children by a woman from northern Europe. This phenomenon is discussed by Cervantes, who spent several years in Algiers as a prisoner of war in the sixteenth century. Setting up some sort of entertainment appealing to children on the ouskirts of town prior to abducting them is plausible.
