    Octavian was a master politician.  By embracing Egyptian traditions and practices he cemented his progression as the rightful successor of Pharaoh.  He must have studied how the Greeks were able to pull if off and learned a mighty lesson for country conquest. By celebrating their culture (rather than doing what the Romans thought was warranted, destroy it) he secured the loyalty, and bread, of Egypt.

    Comment Author: Chris Culbert

    I love how this discovery is already changing the history books. Our collective understanding of our common history as humans is now in question. This area was obviously not a city or long term dwelling place. I would be highly surprised if they ever find the trash pit. I know that sounds silly,,,but everywhere there is poof of human habitation there is always the trash pit. The experts will never admit it,,,but 90% of what we know about early man is from the trash they left behind. The burn pits,,,the waste pits,,,and the graves. Not a single instance of any of that has been found here. Do you fint this odd? I do not. We as a species sell ourselves short on our own history. Its not easy to admit that we have a history so far back in the mist of time that we have no memory nor written account of it. The technology needed,,the planning,,the tools,,,the organization needed to build this monument did not spring out of the ground over night. The key to understanding this mystery will be in admitting the use of tools and technology at that time in our history. I believe this monument was built with technology developed over a vast amount of time in human history that we know nothing about. But in time. With luck. With faith,,,we will discover the truth of our origins. Something came before this building complex

    I put up a post yesterday on my own Neolithic site, recently re-activated after a longish break, hardening up on a theory some 4 years in the making, one that offers an explanation for the close proximity of Avebury, Silbury Hill and the Long Barrow at West Kennet.

    https://sussingstonehenge.wordpress.com/2016/04/17/might-the-standing-st...

    Very briefly, it’s as follows. The reason for creating standing stones, e.g. like those at Avebury, was to provide places on which scavenging birds (crows, ravens, seagulls) could perch between meals. The meals were the recently dead, laid out for excarnation (aka defleshing aka ‘sky burial’). Silbury was the home of a ‘token gesture’ interment, probably the heart only – harvested before excarnation, probably intended to assist release of the soul from mortal remains. The excarnated bones were then taken home by the relatives, or for more important folk, deposited in the nearby Long Barrow.

    I’m working on a similar narrative for Stonehenge/Durrington Walls and hundreds of barrows with the cross-piece lintels arriving finally as a superior bird perch. I think I can explain the initial preference for the Welsh bluestones over local sarsen sandstone, prior to lintels, apart from them being smaller. Clue: they’re easier to keep clean, igneous rock being more liquid-repellent than sediementary sandstone...  (go figure).

    Yes, it can make somewhat grisly reading, but the alternative options were difficult too (thin soil on chalk bedrock making grave-digging difficult, especially with pre-Bronze age antler picks, and shortage of firewood for cremation via funeral pyres).

    The hill has something to do with Avebury Henge which use to have a huge serpent of orthostats though it, maybe to observe night festivals. I would like to know if a bonfire is lit on top of Silbury Hill can it be seen from Stonehenge? All three are connected somehow because they roughly line up North/South. I believe that Avebury is a representation of a huge comet going around the Sun. https://sites.google.com/site/fromthedeepoceanabove/

    I agree with the aforementioned observations above. The "crown" does appear to be a base of chaffing dish of some design. Equal distant legs that would hold something level and an opening for a heating element... Heating a bowl of incense/potpourri?

    Seriously, do you use a monkey to do your conversions, or just a shortage of common sense.
    30 m - 98.4252 ft. I think one piece of pigeon droppings could change the 98.4252 feet considerably!

    "Meet Me In Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City". - Mark Adams. Dewey Decimal System call number. 398.234 A215.
    This book presents several possibilities for the location of Atlantis. After reading the book I came to the conclusion that Malta may have been located in Malta, most of which is under water now. The book presents a geographical rationale for Malta as being the remnants of Atlantis. Atlantis was supposed to be beyond the Pillars of Hercules, there were several Pillars of Hercules most people think that it means the Strait of Gibraltar. The Strait of Gibraltar being the most recent site.

    The War between Atlantis and Athens is the main reason that I moved my choice within the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the possible locations would preclude that war because of distance. There are some need to treat some of the clues rather loosely. One example being the 1.2 million members of the armed forces that the Atlanteans put into battle. This would be, navy, foot soldiers, and charioters. The logistics of moving that number of men and animals that far, rule out that happening. Only 150,000 me went ashore at Normandy during WWII.

    Hello again, Any thing on the bottom of the Gulf that is exposed is not millions of years old. Sediments over millions of years would bury things so deep we would never find them. But If the were human dwellings built in the last 10 to 20 thousand years there, they could still be exposed to be found. During the time of ice the oceans were nearly 400 feet lower that today for thousands of years. Man has always lived near water because of the food found there. The Caribbean was once like a large lake like Superior and you can bet people were living all around its shores. The discovery of large stone structures down there is no surprise to me. Plato talks of Atlantis sinking in a day and a night, a subsidence event. Well about 11,600 years ago one of the largest subsidence events ever occurred in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. This event is reported as happening by geologists all over the world.

    Some how desecrating these remains puts us closer to unraveling secrets from the ancients.

    I think it's possible that human civilization could be millions of years old. But I also think that the Caribbean Sea was formed recently - as recently as the end of the last Ice Age. I don't think these positions are mutually exclusive.

  • Reply to: The Truth About Father Crespi and His Missing Artifacts Finally Revealed   8 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: dinawrite

    I was very disappointed about this documentary that intends to show us the truth, but only shows us LIES and manipulates falsehoods.
    First, let's be logical; The priest Crespi was not one simple religious man, but a ravenous and opportunist Anthropologist behind the robe of a priest. He "exploited ignorance and innocence" in order to get archaeological treasures, where Indians cannot assess the real value of historical artifacts and the wealth, when its are sale for rich collectors.

    The priest not only got 5 archaeological pieces, but more than 5000 artifacts !!! Including gold, silver and rare artifacts around the world!!!!
    We know that these pieces were exposed in museums. Who knows, how many other pieces he could get and sold of these treasures.
    After all, how did he get all that? Where comes from?

    By DONATIONS ??? The real donation we give for poor people, and we don't RECEIVE NOTHING in exchange, right? And never in the form of PAYMENTS. This is a moral distortion and greedy.
    What the priest did, was an exploration of innocents for unique and personal benefit; perhaps with divine help of Vatican and Christian benediction. Similarly like the Vatican have full and rich relics and treasures of all world. Some stole, others required as payment to save our soul. The exploration was so big then father Crespi becomes SAINT!!! to be because millionaire !!!

    When priest Crespi was alive, 4 or 5 previous videos showing very well the amount of gold, silver, and rare archaeological parts, exotic cultural artifacts, but not only Inca or South- American, also unknown writings, etc. Where were gone this artefacts ??
    Regarding your investigation on videos that drive us one scam. It proves that we can record my toilette pot and say: There is the palace pool. Video is a virtual and not a real support for the true.

    About the Cueva de los Tayos, it was explored by many archaeologists, foreign, by own government, also by an American astronaut, after having gone on moon that probably he tried to found out aliens artifacts in it.

    Finally, do you believe really in this story ??

    Yes indeed – I discuss some of the Isis Hymns from Philae in my book, as well as the new opened shrine of Isis & Monthu just outside Luxor – part of group which seems to be related to the classical mystery cult.

    Octavian's tomb is well known, his ashes have been buried in the mausoleum he built for himself in Rome after becoming imperator under the name of Augustus : "The mausoleum of Augustus"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum_of_Augustus

    Julius Ceasar's tomb is well-known too, Octavian and Mark Antony's build a temple for him in the Forum of Rome where his ashes are buried too : "The Temple of Divus Iulius"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Caesar

    The only lasting mystery is where have Cleopatra and Mark Anthony been buried.

    According to historians Suetonius and Plutarch, Octavian ordered that they be buried together, but archeologists haven't find the location yet, despise many attempts... Maybe one day !
