    I wrote proven facts, like it or not. I didn' sad anything about gen, science sad that. U should read more about DNK analysies.
    So if u think that I am in wrong about my written things, u should send complain to NASA, and profesor Kjosov at Harvard University.
    End explain to them that they are all wrong...

    So strange to read a coherent and thoughtful comment. My faith in comment reading is momentarily restored.

    John, the only fact you got right was that Bulgarians found a country Bulgaria in 681 AD. Bulgarians are totally different from Romanians or Dacians.

    When the Bulgarians and Slavs came they assimilated the local small population of Tracians tribes. They all lived in piece including with the Eastern Roman Empire which grew to become Bysantian just a little later. Sources date back Tracians just like these article says 5000+ years before AD. In the past 5-10 years In Bulgaria for the first time were found remnants and objects dating back from 7000 years ago. Check some of the comments below for the sites.

    Did you know that were at 9 different periods Bulgarian villages (I do not want o call it kingdoms) in the lands of today's Asia?

    Read more reliable source before you conclude much. The history in these lands is very interlined and it is easy to state untrue facts.

    The information is interesting, but I'd like to point out that when we give importance to the fact that it is "before" the discovery in other places, we bring a lot of problematic notions. First, that there is a one-way evolution of time, that different people from different times and places would often get to the same conclusion, as if a culture that did not develop binary numbers were inferior to this one (or to ours). As if, given time, they would build skyscrapers and rockets. We must understand that these things do not come about arbitrarily, but because of a need. If a certain culture doesn't have the need of binary numbers, it won't and that's fine in itself. There is more than one way to do architecture, art, one way to develop science or religion, or even to think of development itself.

    There is a bit of a trap there, because while we also like to treasure the culture and show off its intelligence, we do so by measuring it with our rulers. It's like a racist saying "that black man is beautiful, he is not even that dark", you see my point?

    Before famous mathematician? Would it happen after the famous mathematician? Or even, given that they are completely unrelated, are they really any better or worse for being chronologically more distant to us?

    That sort of way of thinking is poisonous to history and anthropology. To only look at other cultures through our lenses.

    Try converting the Biblical pre-flood chronologies into lunar cycles (i.e. divide them by 13), and the Sumerian pre-flood kings-lists by solar days (i.e. divide them by 365)... Seems to work pretty well..?

    Strewth! Here we go again "I'm not saying it aliens, but it's aliens" Why does it defy scholarly explanation? It's an art form just like Picasso's cubism was an art form His art doesn't defy scholarly explanation why should this? Picasso didn't paint aliens they were mainly his mistresses!

    Yeah yeah. the serbs are the greatest. heard that before.
    saying that some ethnicities gene is older than another is like saying they have evolved less (technically the negros have the oldest genes and africa is where it all started).
    as far as where civilization arrived first - there are older evidences of civilization elsewhere in the Danubian plain - one is in bulgaria (varna for instance has the biggest gravesite with the first known evidence of gold mining and fine jewelry crafting).
    Also the calendar the "old serbs" used is probably the old bulgarian calendar which is also closely related to the chinese calendar. nothing special about that.

    This place is located in Serbia, and the name is Vinca.
    In old Serbian calendar we are living in 7523 year, serbian calendar is also confirmed by NASA.
    The study from Harvard show that serbian gen is old 12000 years, and that the Serbs are oldest in Europe.
    I dont know why, but there are no words in this text about Vinca, where all begined in Europe(those are also the facts)...
    Good bye. ;)

    The BLUE PLANET PROJECT book has some interesting illustrations of different types of aliens. It is also claimed that they were smuggled out by a government scientist working on top secret projects with aliens. Could they be real?

    To your first question, no.
    To your second question, no.
    I'm a welder and blacksmith for more than twenty years and I've made many patter welded blades so, no, I'm not ignorant of the techniques and processes, modern or ancient.

    smh, What does that even mean? Are you implying that archeologists ignore metal artifacts? Or are you implying that historians are out digging up metallurgic sites and hiding the results from everybody else? Either way, your astounding ignorance about both disciplines is showing!

    This sort of this is happening more and more often in this world...amazing artifacts that’ve defied time and somehow stayed preserved are innocently offered at auctions or garage sales for pocket change prices. Picture Ramses II upon finding out his kingly possesions are being sold as garden ornaments or paperweights. Lol

  • Reply to: Mummified Remains of Monk, Still in Lotus Position, Found in Mongolia - Some Claim He Was Alive!   9 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Dhendup

    Very true. The claims made does not seem to provide any stablability in terms of the knowledge and practice to understand and experience the process of undergoing such a phase of rigor. It sounds evidently vague to claims that the mummified body is still alive because its in a lotus position. Well, it would be quite insightful should it be coming from th individual who has been able to share the experience intimately in/by person. Anything besides that to me sounds more like fanaticism.

    Your concern is reasonable, though these rituals have been carried out throughout the Americas. There is pretty good weight to this portable ancestor argument at this point.

  • Reply to: 3,600-year-old bones of king Senebkay show Egyptian pharaoh met brutal end   9 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Peter Harrap

    Egyptians (some) have for centuries looted, plundered and pillaged tombs, necropoli and pyramids in search of valuables. IT seems to me that just as certain ideas in physics and biology are being questioned, that this entire scenario be brought into question.

    Everybody is accepting the lineages and the mummified remains of plundered tombs as genuine, just as the germans became the nazis under the false ideas and the influence of Hitler. Lineages of degree-laden diggers have followed one another into the dust and distant mists of time, dust and sand, on the assumption that these mummys are more important than other buried bodies.

    They resurrect their entirely worthless remains, they scrabble in the dust and greedily, arrogantly assure any captive audience in museums and on TV that this skeleton, found in a plundered tomb in the middle of nowhere, is a dead kings body, and so worthy of our attention, and they then obtain, fraudulently in all cases, millions of dollars to equip and research said bones, rather than care for the living around them or do something less unhygeinic and bizarre with their odd lives!

    There is no proof possible or necessary that these are the bones of a dead king. No proof is needed. Their mere word is enough. But even supposing they obtain useable DNA, even supposing they are able to link this DNA directly and genuinely to another worthless bag of bones somewhere else, so what?

    They have zero cultural or historic value, unlike the artifacts produced elsewhere by that culture, so why make such a big deal out f it. Why any interest at all?

    It’s a Business, like Banking or Cosmetics. It’s the pastime of rich decadent cultures with “nothing better to do”.  Maybe yes. But is it not also a fall from grace and objectivity too, as those plundering such tombs in ancient times almost certainly replaced the mummies they plundered with others lying about that were nothing more nor less than those placed in the tomb to guard their “Master”.

    Does nobody even question the intelligence of a people who mummified everything and anything they could get their hands on? Whilst celebrating what their artists and architects did quite rightly, shouldn’t we see their priests as the ignorant charlatans they certainly were, and their kings and queens as their victims, suckers to worthless rituals and beliefs, just as so many of our current superstitions are??

    In an age where there are frequent visions in the heavens that establish for all the existence of the unseen, isn’t it time we left the past alone and concentrated on enjoying and improving present realities?
