Could be that's what he meant, but if so, those people were the progenitors of the field. Archaeology is a relatively new discipline; the explorers and "antiquarians" of the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds are the forefathers of modern archaeology. Referring to them as "amateurs" seems a bit misleading as there were no concomitant professionals, and the professionals who came later were their direct descendants, methodologically speaking.
If there are no professionals, there are no amateurs.
Shame. Started reading this thinking it would be one of those articles connecting mythology to archaeology but found the giant bones story yet more compelling. Then, enter the part about closing down a gallery because its contents are "shocking", and then the government throws preservation out the window to melt down gold for profit, blahblah... How is it that one can spend considerable time researching a subject without the discerning eye for pseudoarchaeology, or perhaps the author knows it's BS but is more interested in having fun than making an academic contribution? Either way, I wasted my time. Wish the following references had been listed before the introductory paragraph:
“Supernatural in the Land of Count Dracula”
“Paranormal”
“Dictionary of Mysteries”
In referring to the rich amateurs - I think he means that years ago there were many 'explorers' and 'archaeologists' who found ancient things but didn't adhere to the developing science of how to investigate and dig up artifacts, and they often destroyed history. Nowadays that is not so true, of course if an amateur does do that now it can lead to fines, but much less likely now.
If this map was (ordered) taken down, I guess it's possible that they were reclaimed. Does anyone know if any pieces found so far were used as building material or other incorporated elements?
Thanks Jack. That’s a much better read. A different style enabling you to state & voice your opinions and beliefs.
A ‘Cult’ is a religious or social group that supposedly deviates from the more ‘novel’ beliefs. But defining what is ‘deviant’ is difficult and for the most part can be wrought with biased thoughts/beliefs making any clear definition problematic.
With in the English speaking world the word ‘cult’ can and is used as a SUBLIME derogatory word and being a subjective word is used to ATTACK others who have differing doctrines or practices.
A ‘Sect is a subgroup of any religious, political or philosophical belief system.
These subgroups are usually an off shoot of any larger religious group. The ‘main stream thought’.
The break away subgroup follows a different set of rules, principals, beliefs and rituals. In many cases this term could be, can and is used in a malicious way suggesting that these break away groups hold ‘heretical’ beliefs or practices. These beliefs being considered deviant from the larger group that they broke away from
.
Perhaps one of the difficulties that many folks have with Christianity is the following ; The latest (30 years ago), GUESS-TA-MA-TION, globally there are around 20,000 Christian based sects since the official declaration of the Christian faith becoming the official religion of Rome 1,700 years ago.
All 20,000 Sects would/will and do claim that they are in the right and that everyone else is wrong. With some being far more vocal then others.
Did not some one, some where at some time declare; “ you are all the same”.
And a very dangerous one also, I’m rereading a book on the Albigensies’ Crusade by Otto Rahn and it bloody…. just as bloody as the current cult in force.
BTW..
The picture with the dude next to the skeleton is obviously photoshopped. Look at the edges of the dude.
Those have been altered by the 'smudge' tool from PS.
This cannot be taken seriously . I’m a profeesional archaeologist and prehistorian in UK
There were no Celts here – Celtic is a term for languages and art styles not peoples . Newgrange and Stonehenge predate any so called Celtic symbolism in artform by thousands of years . This is,I’m afraid not based on any evidence or well conducted research . It brings the quality of articles on here into question
For starters, the book is forbidden from God, and the religion is a cult.
God warned us in Revelation 22:19 that any who add or take anthing from His Word will spend eternity in Hell. So Islam, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Mormon all ignore that warning at their own peril. All those cults were started hundreds of years and more after God’s Book had been completed.
God created EVERYTING and NOTHING is impossible for God.
He got His book exactly as He wanted it to be, whether you believe there are books left out or not.
What a lame God He would be if He failed in getting His messages out unadulterated.
To the author – thank you very uch for the excellent article, your hard work and dedication.
Revelation 22:19
“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Rumple Stiltskin, why are you spreading false information about Graham Hancock? He has NEVER proposed that aliens or ET’s carved/created some of the world’s most ancient monuments. Perhaps you’re confusing him with Erich von Daniken? Hancock has always purported that the large blocks at Baalbek were quarried by man, an advanced human civilisation that flourished in pre-deluge/cataclysm times.
Sediment that comes out of rivers ends up as deltas. Fresh water is lighter than ocean water and stays on top. The part of the river bed that is partly obscured between the continental shelf and the Oregon Earthquake Zone is the result of thousands of years of alternating Japanese and Alaskan currant.
It is my observation that the canyons off the continental shelf were formed in fourty days and fourty nights.
So cool ! This map, romans had it standing upright vertical. Like in a mall today, showing people where they are and how to get where they wanted to go. For so many visitors/citizens rome had. If map is made complete, piece needed to be found would be the one with inscription, (you are here) !
Items such as these, are numerous, many of which are not catloged yet, being so many artifacts, Not nearly enough workers who desire to bother doing the paper work and tagging. So many want to dig, find something, get famous or similar. I wonder why one was found with wax in it, what purpose would wax have inside these ? very valued by many in their treasures, perhaps they had a ongoing game, of vast members who lived far apart, (their found all over) just as we do similar thing with online gaming, playing with others far apart. One needs to be found; still in the box :) so to speak ! No date made, found all over, if dates were known, dates made would vary perhaps over few hundred years. and that would be, and actually is, another clue. they look bronze, copper. Different sized holes are clue also. and all those round balls, feet ? like dice, but more sophistication. But to romans, simple !
Just seeing these stones half done, is Great evidence they are from man. Seeing them half quarried, abandoned is another. And greater yet, seeing them, used in a temple, is even better ! All you seem to think of, is who is trying to fool me ? You fool yourself ! and NO aliens involved..
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

Re-reading the article on Chartres Cathedral http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/chartres-cathedral-sacred-site-ancient-druids-and-christians-005482 which was a Goddess worship place and knowing Druids were worshipping male God represented as an Sacred Oak, could the cave had been a Goddess worship place also? Is there a water source somewhere in the cave? A well or a spring?
And you are right because??????????????

May I point out that we had no Celts in what is now Britain now was Stonehenge Celtic
One must wonder what the E represents.

and I bet anything the apostle Paul, is buried so close to here. Just outside the city. But how to ID him if find him ?
