    'Christant' 'destrorier' ???
    Seems not interested in your school text book at all.You say all your ancient evil practices like human slaughter and pouring his bleeding blood on statue of your god to satisfy him or her are all hoax and practicing of sati ritual by buring of widow,for example 'ROOP KANWAR' in 1987 (video available on web if not interested in text books) are also not true because texts and historical evidences are lies for showing you hindus in bad light.
    Then it may be presumed (assuming britisher and muslims looted your spaceship,murdered your scientist...and hid it from text. ) INTER PLANETARY SPACE SHIP was invented by your hindu ancestor thousand of years ago and not WRIGIT BROS'. And research on stem cells as well as head transplant (as claimed by p.m of india) was already done five thousand years ago.RIGHT !!

  • Reply to: The Origin of the Jolly Roger, The Ultimate Pirate Flag   9 years 2 months ago

    " From this we can ascertain that the Jolly Roger was not intended as a depiction of a particular design so much as a generic term used to describe any pirate flag."

    That is not nearly enough information to support such as assertion.

  • Reply to: 150,000-Year-Old Pipes Baffle Scientists in China: Out of Place in Time?   9 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: meadg

    As usual why let facts get in the way of a good “It’s Aliens Theory”. From what I’ve read here http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4181 they are fossilised trees!!! It quotes “The Chinese scientists eventually did come to the same conclusion, according to the Xinmin Weekly article. They used atomic emission spectroscopy to conduct a detailed chemical analysis of the rusty pipe fragments, and found them to contain organic plant matter. Under the microscope they found tree rings, consistently throughout the samples. Once they established that the Baigong Pipes were simply fossilized tree casts, they set about to discover how they got there.”

    It’s refreshing to be called a child, thanks. I’m sorry it makes you sad.

    I absolutely agree that there has long been a war on free living peoples; I happen to believe it vastly predates Rome but that’s another conversation entirely.

    I disagree that we should all go back to living simply in the wilds. There are cycles of destruction that are natural to this planet, and if we don’t want to continually undergo near-extinction and a loss of our collective memories, we will have to escape this planet and its deadly merry-go-round of cataclysmic destruction….and I mean physically escape it, not spiritually. For that, we need tools, technology, accumulated knowledge, power sources, and so on.

    There is the possibility that in pursuing those things, we will annihilate ourselves. If we don’t pursue those things, the planet will annihilate us eventually anyway. A slim chance is better than no chance at all, which is what we’ll have if we go back to living in the trees.

    There it is….the Ethiopian Government. You say they are hideously corrupt; I agree. It is almost certainly the Ethiopian government who is responsible for selling or leasing the rights to these foreign corporations, which means that they are the real culprits in this story since they are the ones actually stealing the land from the indigenous peoples.

    And yet they are not mentioned in the article at all.

    First peoples are quite sensitive about their heritage, don't you know that?

    You said, "tsurugi,why you are so [EDITED] like your ancestors??"

    I don't know what was edited out of your question there, but it doesn't matter. I'm not Indian, I do not live in India, nor have I ever lived there or even close.
    Do you think I was defending India somehow? Or choosing sides at all? I was not. I didn't say the Taj Mahal is Hindu, or that the Muslims stole it. I said it was possible, not unprecedented, and that some of the questions being asked and points being raised in favor of a Hindu origin are valid and should be considered seriously.

    If you think being open to the possibility and a willingness to consider evidence presented is shilling for the Hindus, that is a bit sad.

    As for the rest of your diatribe, well...I think it speaks for itself. I need not address it.

    Tsurugi I am not sure where you are from, but if you follow the Ethiopian government you know they are hideously corrupt. I am curious as to why anyone would think that a corporation has the best interest of anyone other than the corporation. It is simply a land grab for multinationals who exploit land at the behest of helpless tribes to rape, and pillage the land and send the goods to other places, not Ethiopia. Same ideal goes to the lease of farming land to India, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel and a few others for $3 a hectare for an entire year. The government kicked people off the land and literally gave it away, with those countries bringing in their own workers and shipping all food out of the country. If you think that is cool, you need to really check yourself.

    Tsurugi, your child like understanding of how things operate in the world is sweet but sad. You are a fool and have excepted falsehood for truth. Do you not know the history of colonialism? Do you think that those that drove colonialism have for some reason gavin up their power and relinquished their greed and selfish existence of lavish excess? Know Sir, the methods just evolve for the people always far outnumber the controllers, so their game is to maintain methods of controlling the masses through propaganda, chaos, confusion, division, greed, dehumanization, and one million other methods. This happened to your people and to mine, by the Romans who murdered/raped and destroyed their culture. There has been a war on free living peoples ever since and today they are now into the small forgotten corners that they didn't have time for before. Develop means to use until useless to enslave, to dehumanize until willing to kill ones brother and rape ones sister, to forget what we owe to nature and why we preserve it as it supplies us with life and gave birth to us also and is spirit also. The changing from long term living as indigenous people live, to short term as a parasite lives moving from host to host. Consume and destroy. Conscious people in developed nations know that the true way is the way the old indigenous cultures live and lived with respect and understanding for all life and that to transgress another life disrespectfully, be it river or tree
    means death to all.

    Why not re-open these mounds by qualified archaeologists ? There are tombs being opened all the time , all over the world . What makes these mounds more sacred than others . ?

  • Reply to: The life expectancy myth, and why many ancient humans lived long healthy lives   9 years 2 months ago
    Comment Author: Tsurugi

    Two problems I see with your argument.
    One, this article and the studies it cites were comparing life expectancy in modern industrialized nations with our ancient, pre-civilization ancestors, not with historical-era cultures. There were no "rich noble and religious people" in the nomadic hunter-gatherer tribal groups of pre-history...and they all most certainly ate meat(ergo the "hunter" bit).
    Two, the nobility and the wealthy of historical era cultures mostly lived longer than the common folk.

    The climate of cold weather really helps to preserve and freeze dry remains, for archeology. Compared to warmer places- wich decompose organic materials completely.

    The baghdad battery is easy to make and it can hold up to 3.5 volts.. It is the same as putting a penny and a nail into a potatoe or fruit and connecting it with wires up to a light bulb.
