    The sidheach or sitheach are also to be found in a Scottish name that not only traces its route back through the morars of moray to the ancient pictish kings

    The Basque people also have the highest percentage of Rh-negative blood.
    Rh-negative blood is rare, and to this date, science has no explanation for this mystery.

    Good point Tom. We humans often see things as a puzzle and try to make all the pieces fit. It is great to share ideas and try to discover more though using the evidence we have at hand, no?

    True, we cannot be sure that the bodies are of priests or men. The statements from the leaders of the study suggest that they assumed priests due to the location of their burial and higher status that the religious leaders (who were typically men) often held. But as the nearby body of an apparently high-status female was also found we cannot be sure!

    It's a giant and well preserved because it only died recently and it's from the Hollow Earth.

    Carbon dating is erroneous and completely misleading. It's the reason why scientists believe most of the hoaxes they unconsciously perpetrate. Carbon dating determines that coal has to be millions of years in the making, while failing to explain why objects of relatively recent manufacture are found in the mines.

    I wish that carbon dating could be done away with. Perhaps then, scientists would have to think instead of trusting an unproven method for speculation and false analysis.

    75 feet of cotton twine seems most likely to absorb the slight vibration on the membranes rather than transmitting them.

    Not sure what you mean. Irrespective of whether you are an adult of newborn, infant mortality obviously contributes to the “average life expectancy”

    Is that your new science "looks fake"?
    Carbon date of 3300 years is credible not the millions of nonsense years.

    Among the theories advanced for the Basque origins is that they come from Armenia. The exhibits to prove the thesis are the numerous Basque place names and words which are similar to Armenian, plus certain Basque legends which say Armenia is the original homeland of the Basques. Linguistic exhibits are recognized by scholars as legitimate. I would like to know where does "Armenia, the homeland of the Basques" theory stand now. Thank you.

    Why do they assume priests?  The gold necklace doesn’t seem very priestly to me.  More like a rich person.  

    We humans have a need to “know” and “explain” things, and have a very hard time just accepting we don’t know.  

    Whether priests or something else, it still seems like a fascinating find.  Why two men?  Did they both die at the same time from natural causes?  I doubt that.  So did one die and the other have to die for some ceremonial reason?  Or did someone kill both of them for some ceremonial reaons or for some other reason?  It didn’t sound from the article like they had signs of trauma, but some trauma doesn’s show readily and people can kill other people without inflicting bodily trauma, such as with poison or suffocation.

    The more we find out about the past, the more likely we will figure things out.

    The recent wildfires in California have caused major smoke over Colorado.  We as a society have destroyed the forests and left them overgorwn and deformed in many areas, because we have suppressed wild fires for years.  

    And we do other stupid things.  I live in a highly developed part of a national forest in the mountains outside of Denver.  Thousands of people live within a few miles of me.  You can walk for miles and miles and never get out of sight of many houses.  But at the same time, most people leave their property seriously overgown with way too many trees, including dozens and dozens of little stunted trees among bigger trees that block out the sun.

    One day it will explode like in California.  But not this year, because of massive amounts of rain all summer.

    This might give more credence that modern humans were created by an ancient race with hominid DNA while the Neanderthals and other hominids are the true inhibitors of Earth.

  • Reply to: Astonishing new species of ancient human ancestor found in burial chamber   8 years 7 months ago

    This is a fantastic find but we have to keep in mind that these bones are as yet, undated, making it very difficult without speculation, to figure out how and where homo naledi fits into our human evolution. And we have to always keep 'Little foot' in mind, where dating estimates vary by about 2 million years (vary by dating technique used). Other anomalies must also be sorted out still, such as homo naledi’s hand definitely not being a human hand, or the tooth morphology that does not match those of humans or the mental foramen that differs dramatically that of Homo habilis or the flared pelvis for instance. These differences, unless explained, as well as the fact that the bones have not been dated yet, make homo naledi an ape, all things considered.

    Also, practically speaking, creatures with a brain sized like a large apple, dragged their dead along a pitch dark space (no evidence of fire found yet) to then drop them down an extremely narrow pipe/chute into another chamber. Could there not have been another entrance for instance? They could have entered via another entrance and got trapped perhaps.

    In my opinion, the mere presence in a cave, does not equal burial of the dead. There can be any number of reasons why those creatures were there.

  • Reply to: Dating of manuscripts controversially suggests Quran may be older than Prophet Mohammed   8 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: faizul

    incoming dajjal attack. or is't a warning from Allah SWT to warn us that the End Day is near? like really really near...indeed Allah SWT had given sign of that in Surah Al_Kahf which is Surah 18.

    adding to what Fozia Bora wrote, since the manuscripts may aswell written during the life of the Prophet or abit later i dont see any problem with it. (carbon dating cant pinpoint the actual date) btw it just another proof that Quran didnt change since the beginning.

    lastly for all muslim please be alert. the signs are everywhere. from mother nature disaster, mass animal death, plague to incoming big war is already happening. Wallahualam
