  • Reply to: The Spectacular Ancient Maya City of Uxmal   8 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: Mr. Black

    Here we go again. No one knows exactly when or by whom Uxmal was founded but dates of the 6th century and 850 AD are presented as though they are scientific. They are not.

    The real issue is that in spite of the best efforts of modern researchers the true nature and dates of origin of any of the Mayan sites is not known. That is because dating is based on "context" and/or carbon 14 dating techniques.

    Sorry, a building can not be dated by its artifacts (context). It would be like dating the pyramids by finding a cell phone and declaring it was built in the late 20th or early 21st century. Not so.

    Our research over the past six years indicates that these sites were re-inhabited by modern people but were originally built millions of years ago. In fact, we have dated several sites in the Yucatan to 66 millions ago.

    We discuss this and other issues in our black2tell blog. In fact, we have just posted an essay listing the new science supporting our claims for intelligent life hundreds of millions of years ago. Mr. Black

    Not ironic that he was a lawyer. As a lawyer he knew how to present non-facts as facts. IOW how to lie most convincingly.

    NASA has found that Orion's nebula is a interstellar nursery. The Pyramids in south America, Africa and China are aligned with Orion's belt Also if you pin out the country locations they also aligned in the pattern of Orion.>

    Easter island has burial mounds also aliened with three stars in Orion's belt. How did people in lands thousands of miles from each other come up with the idea to align their burial mounds if Jesus did not teach them, as accordion to the book of Mormon Jesus appeared and taught to all nations

    Joseph Smith believed Kolob (correct spelling Kochab) God dwells within. Also the notches leading out of the Gaza pyramid aliment when built pointed out towards Orion and Kochab.?> Three thousand years ago, this star marked Earth's Northern Celestial Pole, but shifts in the planet's position have seen the Pole move away from Kochab and towards Polaris.

    Beta Ursae Minoris is named Kochab, an Arabic name of unclear origins. It is a K4 orange giant, with a magnitude of 2.07, 131 light years away. Kochab is one of two stars that form the front of the Little Dipper, and are known as the "Guardians of the Pole.

    The wind-shak'd surge, with high and monstrous mane
    Seems to cast water on the burning Bear,
    and quench the guards of th' ever fixed pole.
    Shakespeare - Othello - Act 2, Scene 1

    In 2014 a giant planet six times the size of Jupiter was confirmed in orbit around Kochab. The planet is large enough to have small planet/moons of its own, and it's a pretty safe bet that it does. It's always a special thrill to be able to look up at a big, bright star that you know has at least one large, confirmed planet, and who knows how many smaller planets and moons, and wonder if there might be some sort of life up there, growing, evolving, maybe even looking back at us.

    As per article, Extraterrestrial may refer to any object or being beyond (extra-) the planet Earth (terrestrial). It is derived from the Latin words extra ("outside", "outwards") and terrestris ("earthly", "of or relating to the Earth").

    Google "world pyramids alignment " and ( Google "kochab star pyramids"

    The Hopi in Arizona aliened their villages with Orion's belt.

    A very short but informative post, thank you!

    Q:

    What are the different types of mushrooms that fairy rings are made of & is a ring normally one/two or more types?

    The assumption that oral tradition stories are 'merely quaint fictions' is arrogant and dismissive of the validity and importance of native histories, but it is also baldly inaccurate. Of course the oral traditions recorded actual history, and their histories were much more than mere records of idiotic battles; they recorded natural wisdom and earth changes, as well. Since people relied upon this inherited wisdom to survive, it had to be accurate.

    The assumption that oral traditions are nothing but quaint fables is nothing but the self-delusion of conquerors looking for self-justifying perspectives for their continued oppression and extermination of other cultures. There is nothing scientific in the notion at all.

    Up until the "discovery" of the hoax known as Piltdown Man the focus for finding the "missing link" was in Asia.  After this "discovery" the focus turned to Africa.  There are in fact several "missing links" and not simply one which is something scholars back in those times didn't seem to understand as some don't today.  

    This hoax rocked paleoanthropology and still does today as scholars are cautious about jumping to quick assumptions.  Piltdown wasn't the only hoax as there have been several more since then. Some have been the result of misidentification while others have been intentional hoaxes.

    What's amazing about the Piltdown hoax is that the scientific community believed it for so long. This derailed the study of human evolution for decades and this is why we must QUESTION everything and every discovery.  What we think might have been sometimes turns out not to be the case at all.

  • Reply to: Excavation reveals bizarre Celtic burial with hybrid-animal bone arrangements   8 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: Morgaine

    The conclusions do seem a bit expedient. After all, the 'hybridized' animals buried with the woman could just as easily represent her perceived powers or her spirit guides or something else entirely. It's disheartening how quickly so-called scientists settle for the first easy answer. Their deadlines for writing those academic papers must be getting shorter and shorter.

    These ruins are fantastic!  Uxmal is worth seeing for yourself.  The technology of the ancients is amazing not only at this site but many others around the world.

  • Reply to: The Mysterious Holes of Peru: A Pre-Columbian Domestic Water Source for Trans-Oceanic Travelers? Part II   8 years 8 months ago
    Comment Author: William James Veall

    Some ‘holes’ were intentionally larger than others; these were the primary collector/filters.

    The smaller, shallow ‘indents’ would,of course, equally collect water but were ‘artistically’ sized and arranged to create the individual regalia and inscriptive material.

    Scientific evidence now confirms that by the end of the 3rd Millenium BC desertification had recommenced across the Atacama region. Any aerial photograph will show that the entire region around the “Band of Holes” is devoid of vegetation, therefore, the region was most unlikely to have been forested when the feature was constructed.

    A scientic investigation confirms there was no artifactual evidence in ANY kind of the 7000 or so cavities; this rules out mineral ores.

    Sorry, I have no knowledge whether stone quarrying took place in the Pisco Valley.  

    Thank you for your interesting questions.

    You make me laugh if you think your Theory of Gravity cannot be compared to the theory of evolution. Gravity can be proven and is a fact, but evolution has never been proven and therefore is not a fact. Get your head on straight before you show how dumb you really are.

    Actually, there is no "theory of gravity". There is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, but that is a scientific Law, not a scientific Theory. The difference being that a Law describes phenomena, while Theory attempts to explain phenomena.
    Newton's Law of Gravitation describes the phenomena of gravity very well. It does not explain how it works. Einstein's work provided fine tuning to Newton's Law, but still did not explain gravity.

    Equating the Theory of Evolution, which describes a process that is inferred but has never been observed, to the phenomena of gravity, which is observed every day, all the time, only demonstrates that the person trying to use that as an argument is either scientifically ignorant, or a charlatan.

    Have a nice day!
