Any time a serious person see that myth, he quits reading. Few people could swim, especially in armor. There are no records of living Spaniards from Armada getting to shore (other than a couple of crippled ships). & if one had, the Irish would have killed them. WHY does this ignorant fantasy persist ? The pre-Kelts were small & dark. the "wild Geese" brought home Spanish wives,in laws & servants. Native Americans made it to Ireland many times. 3 valid origins of "darker" Irish. Oh & the later refugees from Inquisition (marranos & Huguenots).
How can something that is 2000 years old be similar to something else that is only 1200 years old!
Yet this impossibility is contained in your very first sentence. Shouldn't it be the other way round?
Smacks of western bias: even if we did it later, we did it better.
Until the peers take an interest we have nothing to go on but the facts before our eyes.
What peer would risk the aprobation of the gaggle by taking the evidence before them seriously.
Scientists are notoriously reactionary, think of the giggle factor.
No scientist would touch this.
It invokes classic cases of Wilful Blindness.
Only after the present bunch of prestigious "experts" have died off do we have any hope of serious money being thrown at this.
By then the evidence will have been safely destroyed and everyone can go back to sleep.
Anyway aren't you using the "appeal to authority" fallacy?
Ancient law and there tactics to judge the crime was really different. It is the best I have read till now. About certain factors the law of Greece at that era of time is remarkable. As laws were given orally and many associated records were written on wooden table. Nowadays its totally a different phase of life and law. Many professional lawyers profile like http://www.yelp.com/biz/tarabay-bechara-paris have there own positive considerations and the judiciary of services. Century changes and so the lawyers but laws are always the same.
Scientific Edge-Sree ramayanam-Cosmology Vedas Interlinks
Inter-disciplinary studies
The spirit of science needs to advance- to catch-up with Cosmology Digest and Cosmos Quest through ancient texts
The Science of Philosophy and philosophy of Science both get integrated beyond Horse nebulae and search beyond Agni-Mukham
Some typical Scientific edge seem to be missing or ignored by many scholars.one naturally comes-up with better understanding of Sree Ramayanam as a link to Sanatana Dharma and Divine episode.Research is in progress to link-up Sree Rama Avatara attribute around 1,46,16000 years back. Purpose is to remove Conflicts in Minds and develop the subject as it is.
These volvelles have not and cannot keep up with the predictions of Nostradamus. And no other belief can be combined with Christianity; Since all others are false leads, therefore lead to death.
Wikipedia: The Ohio State University history Professor Robert Davis describes the White Slave Trade as minimized by most modern historians in his book Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast and Italy, 1500–1800 (Palgrave Macmillan). Davis estimates that 1 million to 1.25 million white Christian Europeans were enslaved in North Africa, from the beginning of the 16th century to the middle of the 18th, by slave traders from Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli alone (these numbers do not include the European people which were enslaved by Morocco and by other raiders and traders of the Mediterranean Sea coast), and roughly 700 Americans were held captive in this region as slaves between 1785 and 1815.
16th- and 17th-century customs statistics suggest that Istanbul's additional slave import from the Black Sea may have totaled around 2.5 million from 1450 to 1700. The markets declined after the loss of the Barbary Wars and finally ended in the 1830s, when the region was conquered by France.
Found in the Urantia Book....
93:3.3 The symbol of the three concentric circles, which Melchizedek adopted as the insignia of his bestowal, a majority of the people interpreted as standing for the three kingdoms of men, angels, and God. And they were allowed to continue in that belief; very few of his followers ever knew that these three circles were emblematic of the infinity, eternity, and universality of the Paradise Trinity of divine maintenance and direction; even Abraham rather regarded this symbol as standing for the three Most Highs of Edentia, as he had been instructed that the three Most Highs functioned as one. To the extent that Melchizedek taught the Trinity concept symbolized in his insignia, he usually associated it with the three Vorondadek rulers of the constellation of Norlatiadek.
53:5.4 . . . in the presence of the forgathered hosts of loyal personalities, he displayed the banner of Michael, the material emblem of the Trinity government of all creation, the three azure blue concentric circles on a white background.
In my reading, I have run across references to Mary Magdalene as a priestess of Isis, and that Isis worship was also in southern France (Septimania) where she emigrated after the crucifixion of Jesus. Has anyone else encountered any such references?
The phenomen can be real, however, I must point to the fact that both creating images and bowing down (reverencing) them is specifically prohibited in the Bible. Therefore the powers that be behind these phenomena are NOT of YHWH , the Creator God of the Bible, but by one who is his enemy, and seeks to mislead his people, one of the deceiving spirit his prophets warned us about.
First of all, "Frankenstein" was written by Mary Shelley in 1818, at age 21. Second, "It was a dark and stormy night" is the opening sentence of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's "Paul Clifford," written in 1830. Since he was only 14 years old when Shelley wrote "Frankenstein," there is no connection at all between the two. Third, no: we have not "abandoned" our dietary laws, nor do we intend to.
Ms Braley is plainly an idiot, but a person's lack of intelligence is sometimes the result of natural selection, and she should not held responsible for the genetic shortcomings of the six-fingered, clay-eating hill folk who undoubtedly were her progenitors: the disastrous results of inbreeding are well known. Additionally, her comment does appear to indicate that she has, at one time or another, actually read a book, and that is encouraging. On balance, though, our world would probably be better off without her.
Sorry for the delay in reply...I was hand rolling some Taquitos . What I can share for sure is that the more I learn the l less I truly know. Anyone that says any different of their own selves is full of it... :)
JR I bet you enjoyed Fingerprints of the Gods as much as I did. I realize some of Graham's conclusions he himself has since disproved but overall it changed the way I see the world and how I think about human history - and frankly it was the first step in my realization (at least for me) that the western idea of religion and all religion in general is BS. I went from Sunday school teacher to agnostic over about a 5 year period after having studied certain philosophies and read on ancient history and started thinking independnedt of my lifelong brainwashing from society and government. I don't sneer at nor look down on others but I know what I believe finally - and what I don't. I've only read a handful of similar books since because I have been caught up in the rat race, but been trying to simplify my life to get to a point where I can actually again . . . . brace yourself . . . READ BOOKS! Have any suggestions?
Good to see you that you are hip to the Smokescreen. They have only two choices as a career. Become a Mystical Shaman reader and writer of Petroglyphs...or become a Clerical Conman and exploit the masses for Sustenance.
Both have a very long history of example over the last 500,000 years. Yet we still do not take the time to see that the Geese are pointing South...To "somewhere" as they fly away.
I think the farther we go back...the less Gullible Mankind was...
J.R. Thanks for your enlightenment. I guess I should've been able to figure that out - after I read your reply I remembered that meteroites are often found right on the surface in many areas, and not all of them impacted recently.
As to the backdoor meetings and grants etc. you're preaching to the choir. I know it all too well. I have never been involved in any such corruption or greed but know some who have and delight in graft and corruption. It's like politicians . . . most get it in with altruistic aims, but soon greed of money and power consume their human nature and they justify it by convincing themselves they must "play the game" to stay in power "to do any good for their constituents". I imagine the same mentality is prevalent among academia, researchers, explorers in the lab or in the field; they line their pockets and use their power to put stumbling blocks in front of others telling themselves unless they can continue in the game they cannot "make important discoveries for mankind" when their track record of important or meaningful discoveries may be non-existent, or limited at best.
It Depends on the Geological Environment. There are places in the Desert Southwest called "Desert Pavement" where the accumulation of Rocks on the surface can be half a million years old or older. I have found many interesting artifacts on the surface of this Desert Pavement but no one will even take a look at them because they were not found at the level of 26 feet and a 20,000 Dollar Grant that they only actually spend half of on the Project.
This BS is all about Grants and Funds. And if you don't think there are "Back Door" meetings I have news for you...
Greed and Gluttony. Take the examples of Nature...Take little bites...Only what you need to cure the hunger and no more. Even the Christians do not take heed of the very same messages in their own written word of righteousness.
How confusing it must have been for the Native Americans when the Christians tried to teach them to read when the teachers could not even comprehend what they were themselves reading...
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.
