    The ground penetrating radar idea is cute but in 1964 was science fiction – as you pointed out. If the temple was not disassembled in a manner to allow reconstruction then some very stupid people were running the show. Not all professors have the best interest in mind – too many only care about their own self interest.

    Conozco el lugar por haber estado 2 veces en e lmismo y haberme alojado en el parque en la posada Jungle Lodge. Con rerspecto al tema de opinion, me parece muy lamentable se hayan usado aun en 1964, tecnicas tan agresivas sin haber previsto enumerar los bloques o como dice muy bien JRO1940 usar radares de penetracion terrestre que yoy si contamos, pero se podia haber previsto la posterior reconstruccion. A mi me parece ha habido algun grado de connivencia entre las autoridades guatemaltecas y la Universidad en no concluir con la reconstruccion. Es muy triste y se deberia haber exigido la misma.

    For me the bigger question is if contemporaries of the Italian monk knew that the land the vikings discovered was in fact a new continent or did they thought it was Asia or where they not aware of both posibilities? According to mainstream consensus the goal of Columbus was to explore a different route to Asia and instead he found another continent (which he was not aware of btw). Anyone got an idea about the "world view" in a pre-Columbus era?

    Archaeological fieldwork necessarily involves dismantling of a site as found and therefore destruction of upper layers of a site and overburden.. Recent archaeology has standardized on leaving a part of a site untouched so that future archaeologists equipped with improved understanding of the problem and more sophisticated scientific methods will have something to work with. Mayan pyramid temples do not lend themselves to that sort of practice and should either be left as found or studied by the use of non-destructive technology such as ground penetrating radar. Doing that leaves questions about specific funerary practices or what the underlying original temple footprint might have looked like unanswerred.  Sometimes the best thing to do is to leave a site undisturbed unless threatened by modern construcion in a city. That is not the case at Tikal..

    It seems ,given the dates and history taught in schools that Queen Isabella’s jewelry she sold to finance Columbus was taken from these Jews and was not her personal jewelry. The dates fit and the movement of them south across the sea puts this story in the time far after the defeat of Muslim invaders by Charles Martel about 900 AD. He had sent a small force around behind that raided the rear part of the Muslem army that held the valuables taken and recovered most of it . After he defeated the main army  he was widely acclaimed after the Muslim defeat as a hero by the church and people. The dates do not line up for both of these events.

    The Muslims tried later in 2 seiges of Vienna centuries later to conquer Europe but both failed .

    I agree with H. Berlin and J. Thompson.  Considering the temple was in good condition and that construction methodology of such temples was fairly well understood, nothing of importance was gained by dismantling 5D-33.  I’d argue that the dismantlers and the IDEAH simply wanted to uncover treasures for exploitive purposes.  I wonder if one of the Coe brothers was responsible for 5D-33s destruction?

    I feel that ultimately the IDEAH and any foreign universities that funded the destruction of 5D-33 should be held financially responsible for restoring the temple...regardless of the cost or effort.

    This is not the first ancient site/artifact that has been destroyed, maybe the most famous and covered up is King Tut’s mummy. Fact is, researchers then did not have technology to fall back on, and so, like the City of Troy, they took it apart/dug into it, to discover more secrets. Today we have GPR and other devices to peer into the structure to determine where things are and if they should attempt to excavate. If they did not number and record the parts they removed, it may well be impossible to reconstruct it. 

    Very touchy are these things and the need for sitting back and really debating the need is number 1 on the archaeological menu in my opinion

  • Reply to: The Mythical Lamassu: Impressive Symbols for Mesopotamian Protection   2 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hi All,

    This article is exciting I've been able to match Lamassu with the Manticores in Revelation ch.9; an The Seraphim's in Isaiah, Ezekiel an Revelation ch.4. I'm on the opposite side of the fence; since, I'm a Believer when it come's to God & The Bible.

    I hadn't paid attention to the detail in the sculptures of these Lamassu creature's so either Manticore's or Seraphim's can separate themselves from each other are this is a whole other breed of creatures similar to both the Manticore's an Seraphim's.

    Quick description of Seraphims there actually apart of the Celestial Body as in Angel's. They have a Head of an Lion, Head of a Man, Head of a Bull or in NIV Bible Ox, an The Head of a Eagle.

    These Seraphims has 6 wing's one pair to shield their eyes from God's Glory; another, to cover their feet an, The sixth wings are utilized to flap around avoiding landing on the palace's floor.

    Why?

    Seraphims are said to have Eye's covered all over their bodies. Isaiah an Revelation both testifies the Seraphims sing to God day an night in worship of Him. In Revelation the Seraphim's are key to when the Seven Seals are opened an those Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse then appears on the scene.

    The Figures of those Lamassu are so incredible perhaps classifying Lamassu as Myth's is more so comforting for Us because we absolutely couldn't handle it if we saw Lamassu, Manticores, an Seraphims walking around on Earth.

    Okay I've ran out of things to share in this discussion regarding the subject of Lamassu so until next discussion Everyone Goodbye!

    It seems the critics are saying one should not open a book to learn what is in it. They should have rebuilt the temple.

    Hi All,

    I had a question forgot too post it about the giant found in Spain how big were the bone's of the Segorbe Giant? Anywhere pass 7'6 to 8 feet tall? I'm not making a joke I'm truly curious about this mystery.

    IJ Brown, the article does NOT say Dr. Radford DISCOVERED the bones of a giant, but that he examined the existing bones, apparently buried in the grave pictured above.

    If I recall correctly, according to an account I read it was supposedly sometime in 800’s. Some stories have  a Welsh prince colonizing in Tennesse In 1100’s, and if the Tucson Artifacts are real, there were miners from Gaul in Az in early 700’s. There’s slate tablets in Minnesota that may have been left by early Hebrews, and somebody mined millions of tons of copper from Isle Royal, Michigan probably before the time of Christ. There’s many indications that North America was visited many times before Columbus.

    Making anything from obsisian is not easy. It may be even more brittle than common glass, but that does not mean that it can’t be done. There are many objects made from that precious substance that were recovered from many burials in North and Central America, most likely from the Aztecs. Polishing to a  mirror finish just takes a LOT of rubbing with finer and finer grits of sand. Don’t forgert the skulls made from rock crystal, those are even more impressive to me than the mirrors.

  • Reply to: Temple of Zeus Gate Rises In Turkey’s Magnesia on the Maeander   2 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hi All,

    Just have a few questions about the site in general is there any evidence that this Temple could possibly be older? An if it is was zeus added or was it already there?

    Why, I'm asking?

    Because this temple was uncovered in Turkey which was once upon a Time in Ancient History Mesopotamia. An in Mesopotamia that region worshipped another deity Marmaduke.

    Although the figure was often depicted with Wing's an carrying two strange weapons in either hand shaped like mini-Tridents.

    Once the Greeks arrived in Mesopotamia they simply renovated the Temple by changing the place of worship from Marmaduke to a temple dedicated to zeus. Are marmaduke an zeus both weather deities?

    This is all, I can say about or rather ask of the temple to zeus in Tyre (Turkey). Until next discussion Everyone, Goodbye!

    For some reason the edit is not saving. They were not both invaders. The Muslims were.

    After the establishment of the Kingdom of Al-Andalus under the Umayyad Dynasty , Spain remained under Muslim control for more than 300 years. However, Christian campaigns to retake what had formerly been Christian land began to find success in the early 11th century.
    This article has interesting information but very biased writing. The above is from this article bit is quickly forgotten and the Muslim invaders are made to look innocent when Christian invaders come. They were BOTH invaders. History is supposed to be looked at objectivley.

  • Reply to: Astrology In The Bible: Jesus The Fisher King   2 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Barry Sears

    When I was young I gave thought to this spiritual region of the World. From New Zealand I wondered why some of the stories and messages were so strong. At the time someone said that the real good messages survive. I realised that from the records set in stone the 12 zodiac signs were anatomical positions of the body. Each iconic symbol represented the anatomical position. The tail of the fish feature connects to the feet. The sagittarius transitions into the thighs to the horns on the ram connecting to the head. 

    I was shown the Earth zodiac and how this region of the World expressed this also. The sphinx is rather obvious and connects to the heartland represented by the lion. Also jumping out is that traditionally Israel was known as the land of Virgo, a message accepting global anatomy. When you look into the twelve zones around the equator many obvious other connections speak. The heads of Easter Island, the mid lion-tail position of the Merlion. The breast region of Stonecircles, the balancing scales of Karma the Buddha, Krisna…..

    I look at the circular zodiac and see the zodiac is rotating in the opposite direction to what it should be. Is this an error or is it perhaps the Earth representing the changes in terrestrial lifes anatomical variations 

  • Reply to: The 4,000 Year History of Horoscopes: How Astrology Has Been Shaped Throughout the Millennia   2 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Barry Sears

    Hello Theodoros, I have been shown that the source of the Celestial zodiac is actually from the below, a study of the Earth. I  look at ancient zodiacs and see how they rotate in opposite directions. You may see this looking at the Denderah zodiacs. 

    If you have an interest in astrology or have years of experience, here are a few basic foundation facts that will open your mind to a deeper comprehension of astrology. This strips back any complexities and looks at some basic knowledge, focusing on anatomical astrology foundation principals.
    We are all familiar with the zodiac signs and have probably heard of the zodiac belt. All of the planets rotate around the sun on a flat plane.If we extend this plane outwards towards the stars we find the zodiac belt which includes the collection of stars that this plane meets. We know the path of the sun by day, well this same path at night is the zodiac belt of which the complete circle is divided into 12 zones or the 12 zodiac signs. Each zodiac sign is represented by an iconic symbol and these are all Earthly forms. It is defined that each of these signs connect to the human body from the head to the feet and likewise the zodiac belt aligns with the traditional Celestial body many may know as Nut from the head to the feet. 
    Each zodiac sign represents the 12 parts of the body and each sign was selected to represent the anatomical position. Aries connects to the top of the head anatomically and the ram has the anatomical feature of the horns and so makes this correlation. Next the bull has a strong neck as an anatomical feature and was chosen to represent the connection to the neck. Gemini the arms and Cancer the breast, Leo the lungs and Virgo the womb, Libra the middle pivoting balancing point of the anatomy. Connections are made to Pisces where the anatomical feature a fish has, is the unique tail fin correlating to the feet. 
    Very interestingly and lost to many is this connection to the Earth's body. Each of these iconic representations are Earthly observations and were selected from the Earth's anatomical awareness to represent the corresponding anatomical position. Ancient scientific studies or observations realised that nature and life changed as you moved around the World. The zodiac belt lines up with the equator and when you divide the equator into 12 zones, as you see on all maps an amazing reality unfolds. The famous quote "as above so below" reveals the missing Earth zodiac belt. By studying life in these 12 zones the secrets of our Celestial order may be understood. 
    In each of the 12 zones around the equator we discover the 12 zodiac signs, these were discovered and chosen to represent the anatomical changes from the head to the feet. A trilogy, a three stage step in life bound by the design from head to tail became the Universal template for life. Our body represents terrestrial life from head to tail, 12 anatomical parts and likewise the Earth's 12 zones from head to tail projected to the 12 zones of our Celestial path considered the influencing source. The three steps in the size of life forms that we can see with our eyes bound by a simple pattern to life.
    Leo the land of the sphinx carved in stone is a solid position to begin defining the ancient Earth zodiac. The next World zone is Israel the land of Virgo, the virgin Mary combining with the seed represents the womb position. Well inscribed is the next zone on the World body where the Buddha, Krisna....a balancing aura, karma, being the pivoting point of the anatomy. Now in a Westerly direction from the Sphinx is the breast region where stone circles gather. Gemini and Taurus are both inscribed in South America and delightfully the heads of Easter Island are in the appropriate zone. Out into the Pacific the fish and water zones then rise into land again. By realising that the Earth zodiac expresses how life on Earth changes from head features to tail features modern science and observations arise to a traditional pattern. A contemporary alignment awaits acceptance of these historically recorded positions and a physical form is ready to emerge. 
    Realising this anatomical connection may open your understanding to the effects on the human anatomy. The simple observation is that when somebody is stressed their anatomical position reacts. I have studied this for 30 years and it is true without a doubt from my recordings and observations. I have also studied peak birth rates around the World and also birth zones for various conditions such as diabetes and once again the evidence is supportive of the connection. 
    The slightly more complex aspect is that pressure can be applied by a person's birth zone. If somebody is having a reaction to pressure being applied by another then that anatomical zone may be affected. This can be seen most evident in children reacting under pressure from parents as there is limited interaction with others. 
    Birthmarks and other markings may often be expressed on a new born if the Mother is stressed or tracing the stress due to the location of such a marking on a child becomes logical.
    If you have any observations or experiences related to anatomical astrology which you are happy to share please let me know. If you seek additional information or are interested in a contemporary alignment please reply.
    Kind regards B.Sears NZ

    Hi All,

    I keep forgetting people see these Testimonies as Symbolism.

    One more thing about that Syrian Story of Baal an Leviathan a Creature mentioned in Job chapter 41 and before 1885, 5 time's in The Old Testament; mainly Isaiah.

    So to first author of this here eye opening article you just became an answer to a prayer for me; could you post that Syrian Story please Baal vs Leviathan thank you so much, if you can do that for me, I will much appreciate it.

    Now back to the discussion at hand on Jonah.

    In my personal experience most other Believer's on Sunday's or in Sabbath School always picked Joshua & Battle of Jericho, Ill-fated love Affair through Samson & Delilah, David and Goliath, Daniel and The Lions Den (in the case of my Nephew when He was little Elijah and Queen Esther), that being said
    Jonah is by far my favorite Bible Text of all Time.

    I even have animated Jonah movies; plus, Book's all about Jonah. An yes, I Believe, in The Truth's that are taught, within The Bible.

    Opening my Bible an in fact reading the thing's that it teaches me about since it is a Book of Faith For myself I am declaring Yes to the Impossible where Logic an Reason for Me has No place.

    So when Reading Jonah that is apart of The Bible I don't believe in Jonah of The Big Fish as Symbolism, I believe Jonah's Testimony to be as real for me as Breathing.
    This is my position on The Subject of Jonah an The Big Fish.

    I've enjoyed this article very much so until next Discussion Everyone, Goodbye!
