    Comment Author: Nicolao Trudel

    Hi Tsurugi, Thanks for your reply.
    You see, I have the impression that there is a main difference between you and me. You are following the texts and science. the later being overcome in great part by the quantum physic. I am following my feelings and no so called organized religion is in my believe.
    There is no importance where the water came from to Earth, it is here (probably it came as H & O and some flashes combined it to H2O). And we need it for life. Whether as pure water, as wine, beer or any other drink (even Coke!), we and any living creature on earth need it.
    Certainly I love the Ancient-Origins-News. They are very interesting, especially what concerns the dates and ages of certain happenings. Also certain old texts contain hints to the rather unreality of our today's physic, based on Newton & all. and show that in ancient times the communication and others were quite different and partly still are within the so-called Native People. So the pyramids, not only the Egyptians, were not built with the power of muscles, but with the power of the mind.
    I'm wishing you all the best!
    Nicolao

    Just a thought, but is it possible that many of these misunderstood questions will never be answered because they were started by a race of humans before us arriving millions of years before us, and we are a second generation of the human race .
    There are many new discoveries being discovered every day that don`t match anything in our know history.

    The brown discoloration of the sarcophagus in the King's chamber is most likely due to oil rubbing off from the hands of the countless visitors and tourists who have been inside the chamber and touched the relic over thousands of years. This article is almost completely unsubstantiated.

    "Who could suceed in such a venture, when they could be building schools houses, hospitals and shops instead, without labourers downing tools and going home, disgusted by the egotism and selfishness of their “employers”?"
    Well, of course, you're not going to drop your tools and go home if you're a slave who can be beaten or killed if you don't keep working.

    Comment Author: Ron R

    It's ironic that we watched the film Gladiator the other night. While the true story behind his reign and death are fascinating, I prefer the fictional story, where he is killed in the arena before thousands of subjects by a gladiator whose family was ordered killed by the emperor.

    It is very naïve to assume that ancients had nothing else to do! The only advancement of our society today is technology, and to be exact a very specific type of technology. Our society 200 years ago was far less advanced than ancient Greece or ancient Rome for example. This doesn’t make us advanced as societies – in fact if you take technology out of the equation we are far inferior to most of the ancient civilizations.

    I suggest you do a better and in depth research rather than just dismissing ideas superficially.

    An interesting article, but it always makes me sad when I see Human remains on show publicly, these were once living, breathing, feeling Human beings, surely they deserve to be left in their intended burial places?

    Its simple….employ a Mercator map and by expanding the night sky the Milky Way plots a figure 8….This then easily explaiins the strange owl-like eyes on these figurines (the ones towards the end of the article. The full details are described in my book.

    The buildings we could not have built were not built by us. In the Gospel story of the Resurrection guys arrive at the tomb to find the stone covering the entrance had been rolled back, by an angel.

    At the end of every christian prayer we say Amen. Amen is the name of the ancient high God of Egypt.

    What is the point of studying the Pyramids, or Baalbek or the miraculously close fitting stones of south american buildings, etc. without including God in the equation? This is as dumb as leaving God out of Creation. Something the northern buddhists masonry moving miracles include?

    Why do humans continue to argue and propound ideas like those here- the Pyramid is a power plant, the Pyramid housed Hemholtz Resonators, the Pyramid was used to hone the skills of the priests (like this is Disney’s “The Prince of Egypt”? – “you’re playing with the big boys now!), the pyramids were burial mounds without actually demanding we try to build a double of the Great Pyramid ourselves with the technology we had when the “experts” claim they were built.?

    Why is there no revolt into common sense here going on?  Why hasn’t there been for hundreds of years? Who REALLY considers it possible for anyone to get anyone else to raise such an utterly and completely (to us) pointless pile of stones up of that size, for ANY  purpose, at ANY time? So pointless in fact that here we all are inventing gobbledygook in a vain attempt to explain away the impossible?

    Who could suceed in such a venture, when they could be building schools houses, hospitals and shops instead, without labourers downing tools and going home, disgusted by the egotism and selfishness of their “employers”?

    What were they on?

  • Reply to: Gene Flow and Counter Current—Hopi Sea Voyages From the Lost Continent of Mu   9 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Dutch Vandal

    So two cultures have similar genetic markers; well shoot it must mean a continent pieced together from what appears to be random evidence in the 19th century must be where they all came from. It couldn’t possibly be that there was gene flow across the Pacific Ocean, considering Polynesians managed to get to Easter Island in enough mass to have a reasonable breeding population (and this was clearly after the ‘sinking of Mu’) – I wouldn’t be surprised if over 20,000 years enough gene flow across the Pacific would leave some genetic markers.

    Not even to mention this article concentrates on Albinism as opposed to the genetic links between native South Americans and Australian Aboriginals.

    Comment Author: Peter Harrap

    Dear “Indian”, I have no idea what you are talking about, as I have not advocated ANY  claims: quite the contrary.  You need to visit the site the claims came from. They are nothing to do with me. I do not care either way. That site “Was the Taj a Vedic Temple” (click on it and read it S.V.P.) I disagreed with. I disagree with Professor Oak, and with the Laxmikant Bajpai, and ANY politician and/or historian and am in agreement with you, if you read what I wrote. Haarp is the title of quite a good album by Muse, but not my name.

    Were there prio advanced civilizations? Maybe.

    Is advanced understanding of astronomical concepts evidence of unexplainable advancements and/or outside intervention? Obviously not.

    Ancient knowledge of atronomy has a clear explanation; there was nothing else to do. Considering the amount that modern man knows through observation about meaningless things (reality television and sports come to mind) it is unsurpising that ancient man spent a great deal of time contemplating the sky. Even with all our bells and whistles, the night sky without light pollution is frankly, amazing.

  • Reply to: Mysterious Origins – What we don’t know about the emergence of humans   9 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Dutch Vandal

    Good article, but I do believe some of it borders on sensationalist; because we don’t know something doesn’t mean there is an incredibly special answer. Our entire history is dotted with completely random or unintended events that, if they had not occurred, would drastically alter our history. I doubt that our ‘agricultural mother’ realized that when she planted seeds, she had also inadvertently created war.

    The explosion of culture could have been set off by any number of things, much like the simple retooling of a Chinese device into the industrial printing press in no small part was a cause of the European Renaissance. It could be that simply the movement from nomadic to settled, or the movement from settled to urban inevitable leads to this type of growth.

    Not that I discard the concept of ancient, lost and advanced societies – but there isn’t really any evidence for them and there are much simpler answers to the question.

    The pyrimids, Baalbeck and other ancient megolithic sites were built by an ancient civilization with no need to write a ‘who built it’ all over everything they constructed. They were, by comparison to ourselves, very few in numbers and with-held their advanced knowlege and knowhow from us – the humans. They alone knew to whom the bildings were ascribed to, their functions and purposes and they had no reason to tell us then or to leave clues for us to define now. We can only marvel at the complex maths and construction methods used.

     

    If the Mars One project is sucsessful, there may one day be a return to Earth of humans migrating back here from Mars long after we have annhialated ourselves here. I wonder what they will make of the strange things we left behind – odd screws or a CD disk which just managed not to degrade back into the soil. Or even how we managed even to live life outside of a protective pod.

    And  yet we are doing just that with ancient civilizations here on Earth that existed long before our time.

    I like this website because it runs a fairly even keel between the extreme dogmatisim present in mainstream science (for some people) and the shoddy interpretations without reason of the fringe (for some people).

    However, this article is reminiscent of the most insane translations of Nostradamus worshippers; you can’t take several biblical figures and smoosh them all together to support/create your own narrative without reason beyond fitting your own narrative (fantastic example of circular reasoning). Not to mention that of all the stories in the Bible, Exodus is the one that should have the most but actually has no evidence to back it up.
