    A highly methodical analysis of the Patterson-Gimlin film was undertaken by the Photek photo analysis company, which supports the authenticity of the what is still on of the best motion pictures of a bigfoot in existence.

    Having been to Peru, and having seen the variety of stonework styles and technology, it seems clear that the polygonal megalithic walls of Cusco, Sachsahuaman and many other ancient sites far preceded the Inca empire, as the Inca themselves maintained. Rather, as in Egypt, the Inca seem to have inherited and adopted the earlier work while their own masonry was nowhere as precise. This dichotomy can be viewed at many sites, such as Cusco itself, and at Machu Picchu, where the much cruder Inca stone work and buildings stand alongside megalithic works of far greater precision.

    I beg to differ with Faylinn. I have seen no studies of Roman concrete that show the presence of hair and blood. One signal difference from our concrete is that the Romans used fist-size rocks in the cement, not the pea gravel in modern mixes. They also used, according to engineer David Moore, P.E., who studied the building of the Pantheon, a dry mix placed in a box into which a small amount of water was added, with the mix pounded until the water had permeated the whole, unlike our modern water-rich, pourable mix. In addition as the upper, much thinner levels of the Pantheon dome were fabricated, the stones used were switched to pumice, retaining the concrete’s strength while making it much lighter.

    Yes Chazzone...it is a great pity to promote easily provable hoaxes when facts are always more interesting. A lot of information on this site is really interesting ,but including hoaxes which as you point out  fosters and relies upon ignorance it ,totally undermines the credibility of the entire site  . It’s like adding mud to clear water !

    No evidence of either. Other dimensions are no more than mathematical musing. The same math that says there are other dimensions also allows for a universe that is a hologram, a universe that is a computer program, and multiple universes. There is only one math that disputes all these and it uses logic and is seldom referenced because they cannot make the other mathematics work under this one mathematic’s rules. So, you can believe what you want, but when it all is said and done, you have been believing in musings by science fiction writers since Mark Twain wrote the first time travel story. The rest comes from ancient religions and the way people have interpeted the meanings of such over the last 5-6 thousand years. You cannot distinguish reality from made for TV entertainment.

     

  • Reply to: Is This the Real Reason Why Pirates Wore Eyepatches?   3 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: One-eyed Jack

    I play a character with an eye patch and the loss of depth perseption eliminates the idea of fighting in one. The only time I can see it being handy on board ship is when loading a dark hold from a sunny deck. Carrying sacks of feed doesn’t need much depth perception. My character wears one as a disguise when dealing with pirates and when actually pirating. If the enemy thinks you have a blind spot but you can see through or around the patch you have the advantage. It doesn’t hurt that when the King’s men are looking to hang the pirate “One-eyed Jack” they ignore the two eyed merchant asking for directions.

  • Reply to: The Frightening Discovery of the Mount Owen Claw   3 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: EricaC

    This story popped up on my Facebook feed today. It looked exciting, until I read it. My suspicions were triggered by the article’s mention of ‘archaeologists’ exploring the Mt Owen cave system. It’s a  cave system in a remote wilderness with no history of human settlement. I’d be very surprised if anyone except hikers and speleologists were exploring it. Articles about the discovery of these moa remains are available online and as I suspected, they were found by cavers. 

    https://www.notornis.osnz.org.nz/system/files/Notornis_36_1.pdf

    Secondly, I can’t believe the carelessness of this line, “The first discovery of the moa occurred in 1839 when John W. Harris, a flax trader and natural history enthusiast, was given an unusual fossilized bone by a member of an indigenous Māori tribe.”

    I thought we’d got past believing a thing isn’t known or discovered until a European knows or discovers it. The Maori, of course, knew about the moa. Discounting indigenous knowledge is a surprisingly backward and ignorant mistake in an article like this, that is supposed to inform people. Does this writer have any academic background at all? 

    I found the original report on the moa bone discovery with 2 minutes of googling;  it took another minute to find an article on Maori lore surrounding the moa.

    Honestly, is all the reporting on this site so lazy?

    We know there used to be giants of the Ohio Valley and many other places. I’m curious if what we are calling Bigfoot isn’t remnants of those giants. Forced in breeding due to population decrease would have dumbed them down to primative  from what they used to be. Their aversion to humans would be well understood.

    I believe these large creatures often called big foot or sasquatch have been visiting Earth from alternate realities as long as there have been beings living here. Their presence has been report on every single continent for thousands of years and isn’t it strange no body has ever been found? This is a big hint for me they do not come from here and will never be caught because their senses are very advnaced to evade us at will. I believe they have a mission on Earth to help and not hostile or violent in any way. This is my perception of these creatures.

    The only proven early civilizations are in China, Africa, and India/Pakistan. And they were either well documented, being, documented, or need to be documented. The other so called formations amount to nothing if no signs of habitation are found, which they haven’t found. Atlantis is most suredly a civilization destroyed when Thera (now known as Santorini) erupted 3500-3600 years ago or so. Plato was mistranslated or misinformed, and since he was in no way a first hand witness, but instead, a many times over reteller of a oral legend and not a documented story, it is pretty sure to have been a Mycenaean Greece city. No other proof has been presented, just ideas.

    Sorry, to date, no proven footprint, hair, body, bones or other has been presented. All these hunters, fishermen, and “searchers” have failed to bring back real evidence. And, a sasquatch would not leave a “giant” footprint  so large a human foot is dwarfed by it. The largest ape ever, Gigantopithecus, is far smaller than these “footprints” yet we have fossils of them, but not of sasquatch or biblical giants. That is the difference, one existed, the others do not

    I believe there have been other civilizations before ours on earth, footprints or not. Compelling witnesses are the amount of huge temples and other marks in stone, that none other than most civilized people, most possibly extraterrestrians some of whom giants, could have formed. I don´t think the individual foot prints have any special meaning more than someone big took a walk.

    Nothing, I repeat, nothing, has been proven. All the claimed “ship shaped” forms seen in satellite photos have not been found to be other than natural rock formations. All wood claimed to come from the mountain could be from anywhere, nothing documented in an expedition has been brought forth, and Turkey has closed any further investigations because they keep getting proven as false finds and for the Islamic world, that cannot be so no one gets to prove or disprove anything.

  • Reply to: Unravelling the Roots of Hera, the Wrathful Goddess of Marriage   3 years 1 month ago
    Comment Author: Zucchini

    Hi All,

    This must be what De ja Vue feels like I could of thought mentioning Hera earlier through Five Olympian goddesses. My intriguing experience with Ethnic Studies involving Ethno-Notions in entertainment with Hercules Legendary Journey's; 1995,!

    I won't repeat that experience however, this article mentioned clergy Roman Catholicism an Monotheism so I figured touch a little on that subject. Before Roman Catholicism an yes Protestant Reformation way in Asia Minor The Holy Spirit is actually Woman.

    It seems Catholicism an Protestant focused on The Greco-Roman stories an as usual the Men only focused on said Trinity of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.

    Apparently The Parish Priest and Pastor's forgot Jesus in Revelation mentioning He has The Keys of Hades. While certainly a delightful Topic for my self I would like to take a moment and share a story it would sound as though it comes from Bizarro World an Alternate Universe to that of Super-Man's more balanced World.

    Okay, I may encounter groans from Ancient Origins audience I've brought this Subject up in two or more occasions but trust me this Topic applies to the subject of Hera. An on a side note, I believe, I've said all that's needed to be said of Hera with the Five Olympian goddesses.

    On to the story.

    Once upon a Time say In the Time of Jared two hundred Angel's known as Watchers left their abode from a 3rd Heaven; led by the Captain of The Watchers Shemyaza an met on a Mountain which bears witness to their Crimes.

    While watching the coming and going of Man these Angel's noticed The Daughters of Man (most scholars interpret Daughters of Man's bloodline to be that of Cain's), that they were beautiful interesting they fell in love with the women's natural beauty.

    Shemyaza and the other 199 made an oath to break All of God's Commandments and Rule; they then married Human Women, I got the impression these Angel's didn't keep one wife according to Enoch the 200 Watchers picked out the Women they chose too Marry.

    These goodly Angel Consists did incredible things crafted jewelry for their wives to wear and lastly taught their wives Heaven's Secret's that would enable Wives and daughters to appear as though they were divine in nature.

    These Angels became father's too of the Nephilims and Rephalims an a host of other Mysterious Beings said by Enoch to grow 3000 feet in height, there's a real possibility some other beings identified as Grigori got in on all of the hot action going on with these Angel's and their wives.

    As for myself would not want too Meet these odd beings ever.

    Now The Ancient of Days, The Holy One, and The Elect One, renders a powerful Judgement against these 200 Watchers, I mean one angel in particular Azazel God orders The Archangel Raphael to bind Him particularly.

    Subsequently these Evil-Angels are all bound with chains which Apostle Peter mentions in his Epistle into Real Tartarus apparently it does exist, where they remain till judgement Day and then they'll be executed in The Lake of Fire apart of Tartarus.

    Oh that's right The Epistle of Jude makes known a little more of their Fate in eternal darkness bound by endless chains think of Scrooges friend and partner in economic crimes coming to him Christmas Eve in chain's.

    The fates of the children and their wives okay, the children themselves were rendered into Demon's and Evil-Spirits, an were often constantly at War with each other think of the mythical stories which I now believe in accordance to The Bible did take place to which the gods wasted against each other like Titanomany.

    The wives who because their Angel husbands assistance they were foreseen as divine God had Them all changed into Sirens an get this They Can't Sing all Sirens can do is Sigh that's it.

    Go forward in History after The Great Deluge an Tower of Babel (The Flood), languages changing resulted in the Women who lived before The Flood gaining New Name's and being associated as goddesses including Hera.

    Here is what I'm thinking since Globally in The Ancient World; there is an concise knowledge of Beings identified as gods & goddesses I believe Nations and Tribes of today each Pantheon Family was they themselves a different Clan altogether.

    This is why we have The Arawak, Aztecs, Incans, Mayans deities, then The Indigenous Peoples here in the America's their Spiritual Beliefs, Africa & Asia, Europe & Eastern Europe all Pantheons said to exist in everybodies language that means the goddesses like Hera who in my truth were in fact Human Women that married Angels who were of these Watchers.

    I get all this about Hera from The Biblical Books of Enoch; In the days of Jared (who happened to be Enoch's father an was 800 years old).

    From me sharing all of this I'm sure my Ethno-Notions if Hera portrayed on the hit Hercules the legendary Journey's was a lot easier to make sense of but, both happily and apprehensively a young student told me that Enoch was like a bad acid trip but, was so good It Had to be true.

    I don't think for a moment that I have ever heard a Biblical Account described as A Bad Acid Trip that it had to be True before also I wouldn't know about that being an 80s kid growing up with Just Say No drug campaign kicked off in my City-State, Oakland, California an reluctantly accepting D.A.R.E (I viewed D.A.R.E as a rival to Just Say No).

    Alright so here is my take on Hera an so until next time, Everyone, Goodbye!

    Scores of people up to the preesent day have reported pictures of similar footprints & sightings of large hairy man-like creatures in the woods who are very stealthy and there have been numerous videos made of them, they bury their dead in remote wilderness areas. Mainly from hunters and fisherman, hikers, but other random encounters. How can thousands and thousands of people be making this up? I invite people to check out YouTube “thefactshowtohunt” by Steve Isdahl who is a hunter guide who shares people’s encounters with these beings. Although I personally have never encountered them myself , after listening to many of the accounts , I think they are real!

    To date, no footprint (evidence of giants), ark, or other story from the Torah or the bible has been proven to be real. None of them. Ken Ham uses real fossil giant turtle flippers as fosil giant hands, but you should look at the shape of the fossil and see that it indeed has the shape of a flipper and not a hand. Ham has gotten rich off of gulible people, as have many televangelists around the world. They prey on the gulible and needy. They count on you wanting to believe in god. Believe in a god if you want, but do not ever blieve in what the shucksters tell you.

    Tell you what, show me a fossilised tree that has the structure and composition of that in Devil’s Tower. The Devil’s Tower is an ancient basalt that cooled and formed columns. It is found around the world. The Giant’s causeway, Fingol’s Cave, are just a couple. It is found all over the southern interior of Washington State from Ellensburg to Yakima. You people who are afraid to learn about the world are so ignorant of what it contains.

    Cassandra is correct.  These foorprints are clearly hoaxes or due to weathering.  It  is a shame that sites like this promote ignorance in order to get clicks.
