If the screw is stone, then it will be organic matter, of a crinoid that has become replaced by stone. You can buy black marble made of masses of crinoids that exhibit this screw like form, though the 'screw' has no turn on it, merely successive parallel rings.
The Sumerians were originated from same Mesopotamia, they didnt come from India or Anatolia.. Sumerian statues reveal how the Sumerian phenotype resembles Iraqi people nowadays long and narrow noses with big eyes... Arab Marshes are the descendants of Sumerians... Sumerian native homeland from north east Iraq (Kurdistan) nowadays they lived in mountains and when the ice age came they moved to the south using Tigris and Euphrates and finally settelled in Nippur and Uruk..before them they were many cultures (Jemdet Nasr, Halaf, and Ubaid ) cultures. Those cultures were the native Mesopotamian and they mixed with Saggiga people .... to form Kengi (Sumer) later Akkadians the native Semites of West Mesopotamia merged with Sumer to from Akkad....
Sumerian weren't black they do not have big phenotypes as Africans... the Africans didn't establish any civilization in Africa itself how they reach ancient Iraq ??? without crossing Egypt and Arabia ? this is incredible .
My belief is that we have been around a long, long, time before we were born. So we could have observed what was happening on earth. I have known quite a few people that believe they were reincarnated (or more likely make things up for attention). None say they were poor dirt farmers with no life. Either they say they were famous, or they were in an exciting time or place. The one thing in common was their stories changing over time, and they did not fit into the real world. I don’t believe reincarnation nonsense – period. It’s just mental illness.
Why do we not consider, that legend of Snow White is a legend, and the dwarfs are just fantasy part of a fairy tale added to a tale of some real living dutchess or queen etc., and not any children working in mines or other creature like small people ? I personally not think that this legend had happened in reality and later was just told in fantasy manner with different characters instead of original !
I am in possession of one of these rocks with either a screw or crinoid fossil in it in case any of you know someone who would be interested in studying it. Found in Illinois in what appears to be a rounded, smooth river rock used for landscaping purposes.
There is so much more to this story, I can't even ... Besides there being way more from the European settler point of view, there's even more depth if you take into account the Indian side of the story. After all, the English settlers didn't know a whole lot about the Indian culture at the time. Still don't, for that matter.
Well all that sounds very interesting except that I do not believe one word of it. My main contention on varying views of reincarnation and ‘moving towards greater knowledge’ is that it seems to make no sense to have successive lives if we cannot remember anything from before – it’s altogether too vague & appears pointless to me. I will require a significant explanation from whoever is in charge when I get to that ‘other place’ since he/she/it has left things way too invisible & confusing for there to be any point at all to this life as it is. If I had created a race of beings that I wanted to make ‘perfect’ – I would just make them perfect, all the explanations about ‘learning lessons on the way to perfect’ make no sense if we cannot feel & understand what the lessons have taught us in the next iteration of life. We do learn in our current life, but that appears to have no value, which makes everything completely a waste of effort ! I just do the best I can and try to be honest, caring & learn as much as possible, feeling really that that is all I can do – if it is some use elsewhere that’s good, but in any case, the best we can be for ourselves is always the best we can be for others too !
We experience many lives, perhaps thousands, as our souls evolve towards perfection and Oneness with God. It is commonly believed that Jesus was Adam's final incarnation. We remember past lives as our soul evolves, and the lessons of a previous life provides illumination for lessons we are dealing with in a current life. When we achieve a certain level of awareness of who and what we are (eternal souls that are part of the One Soul), we are able to remember our entire history.
I first saw this disc on Terry Jones' "Barbarians" on TV a few years ago. It was postulated that it was a calendar showing different astronomical phenomena to facilitate among other things agricultural endeavors such as planting. The five stars were postulated to be the Pleiades which rise above the Spring horizon approximately at the time for planting. (For those who state planting could be based upon weather solely should try that theory. Farmers needed accurate methods to find the correct times to plant. If they were wrong the results would be famine. Pore through a modern agricultural almanac and planting by the phases of the moon are still included.)
The disc perhaps was a "portable" astronomical almanac with specific locale.
No expert here but find the ancients incredible for their astronomical discoveries such as the solstices and equinoxes marking the 4 quarters of the year; the Celtic cross quarter festivals: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh which further equally divide the year into eight parts.
The level of communication between generations to pass accumulated knowledge to continue the process is staggering. How or why they found this imperative may never be satisfactorily answered but I feel the ancients fascination with the sky both night and day may well be in the beginning may have facilitated the beginnings of abstract thought.
I enjoyed reading the article above and I hope the information below is helpful to anyone who reads it! :)
There is a more recent study/theory that King Tut died in battle from a horse-drawn chariot. It is believed that King Tut suffered a fatal blow from the chariot wheel, crushing many ribs and his pelvic bone. The impact from the chariot wheel was said to be strong enough to severely damage the heart and lungs, so much so that the heart would not be recognizable to the embalmers. Hence, King Tut was mummified without one of the most vital organs to ensure a satisfactory afterlife. In addition, the theory suggest that King Tut was not buried in his own tomb, which would have been in preparation since his adolescence, but rather buried in his vizier's tomb- Ay. Ay is documented for being buried in another tomb much larger, more grandeur, and non-representative of his life as vizier nor King. The tomb, that Ay's mummy was said to be found, portrayed many hieroglyphs of the Boy Kings life. As far as the marriage between Ankhesenamun and Ay, supposedly the ring that archeologist found entails of a marriage between the two after the death of King Tut. Ankhesenamun did disappear from a lot of ancient Egyptian history but some scholars believe she outlived Ay's four year reign. There might be evidence to suggest that there is another burial tomb in the Valley of the Kings, at a depth deeper than King Tut's tomb.

jacob, and his journeys, have always been quite fascinating to me. i find it odd that the author has interpreted jacob as having laid his head upon a 'rock'. i do not believe any of his cited references describe such a detail. possibly the author's archaeology background has given him this image or information, and maybe it would be helpful if a citation or explantion could be given to clarify the purpose or reason for his terminology choice.
while the article may be focused on the 'stairway', i do not believe that one can have clear insight to the dream/vision without having a proper picture of the physical elements of the real world in which jacob was in at the time of recieving the vision.
we are told the 'place' was known as luz. while it may have been wilderness, was luz uninhabited?
the title of the article refers to a 'stairway', and the author quickly informs us that 'jacob's ladder' is the name of the 'stairway', but then uses the term 'ladder' throughout the article to descibe it. i would think this very confusing for many readers, and it also leaves me wondering what the author is visualizing himself as to what jacob saw and described. the graphic references provided are across the spectrum, one being somewhat vague in detail, the stella work in the header, and the luther bible depiction being clearly of a ladder, at the end. the central art though, by blake, this is the one i find very intriguing, and would be quite a stunning image for jacob in his time if indeed that is similar to what he saw.
circular stone staircases were not just of dreams in jacob's time, there are archaelogical examples of them dating to the period and prior if i am not mistaken, but as well i believe all of those examples lead downward instead of the ascending case to which jacob was revealed.
a little more than 3600 years after jacob, nicholas stone would be perhaps the first to build such a staircase of permanence from stone. it stands in queen's house in greenwich, uk, and was built for anne of denmark, the wife of james the first of england, or maybe more apropriately james the sixth of scotland. he was the fellow that commissioned the bible that the author of the article references.
there are a number of people that claim to possess or know of the 'rock' that jacob used as a 'pillow', but i believe none publicy acknowledged to be correct. if one could know the true nature of the 'rock', then i think it possible one could also gleen the true nature of the 'ladder' as well. i think the clues that i given may help those that would seek the 'truth'. :)
Can humankind just accept wholeheartedly that its at the least hundreds of thousands years old if not millions. The whole internet vs. archeologists is getting old.

time is a construct so how can 'eternal' be more than a personal feeling?
so did you take a poll to decide what 'common knowledge' includes jesus related to adam directly?
Can you believe how hard these people try to explain away Jesus or better yet G-d?
Yes for the first time in history the voices of (there is no G-d crowd) are being heard worldwide.
But, we still need a temple in Israel .
"there are/is no 'gods'/God" thus saith Abracadabra the omniscient omnipresent.
Interesting article but citations for sources would be appropriate, otherwise it is an opinion piece.

We are all waiting for the latest news on the doors - yeah - love a mystery !

Clearly Soutrean/Clovis points.These are from European the flint-knapping tradition.
This debate was settled a few years back with the discovery of a Solutrean point found in the US, but made from FRENCH flint.
I'm not disparaging the First Nation, but this is clearly a Solutrean/Clovis site.
Can humankind just accept wholeheartedly that its at the least hundreds of thousands years old if not millions. The whole internet vs. archeologists is getting old.
