So, rather than to earn money, these log-wood cutters, who lived in swamps and were susceptible to sickness and disease as well as being hunted by the Spanish were actually also homosexuals. Pipe-welders usually work with mates who help them fabricate, they would probably be about as gay too, staying in the same hotels and going for meals with eachother etc.
Hello.
I enjoyed the article about Hatshepsut and Moses very much. I have a question however. I feel I must also state that I am not a scholarly person by any means. I love ancient Egyptian history and try to soak up as much knowledge as I can.
Couldn't some of the same arguments you used n your article also apply to Sobekneferu and the Exodus being at the end of the Middle Kingdom?
I know some do believe that if there was a Moses and an Exodus this timeline and events happening in Egypt fits as well. It would not of course explain why the name of Sobekneferu was not obliterated or that of her father etc. Any further insight would be appreciated.

Funny how at the end it says 'donations are appreciated'.guess the more famouse a ruined site is the more you have to pay to go there. That's why it's £15 to get in Glastonbury abbey where you might find some pigoens, but if you want to go to woodspring priory near Weston super mare and walk along the estuary which is the UK's biggest nature reserve to see the plants and birds there its free because who's heard of doing that?
This is definitely not a copy and paste from Fox News, nor are any of our articles. This is actually (unfortunately) backed up by the fact two separate studies by the same researchers have been confused here. However, you are completely correct about the age/gender assumption. Although the fact that there were young(ish) women and a child in this one find does lend weight to Cowie’s deduction that both genders and all ages were fair game.
Thank you for your comments. You are correct, and the error came form a confusion of 2 completely unrelated studies by the same researchers. The author of this piece incorrectly stated that the Inca engaged in head shrinking, which was definitely not stated by the researchers in the study. The Inca never shrunk heads, only tribes from the Amazonas, namely Shuar, Achuar, Huambisa and Aguaruna of Ecuador and Peru. Thank you for all your comments. The article defintely benefitted from them and included misinformation that has been removed. Apologies for the errors.
A very interesting find. I continue to be amazed that the subject of iconoclasm isn’t addressed more by branches of main stream archeology when looking at the “destruction” of sacred sites and religious symbolism. It certainly wasn’t invented by the early Christians as it has been going on for millinnea but it seems to be ignored during most discussions regarding damaged finds that are beyond the expected issues due to aging and exposure to the elements in situ.
Either you didn’t look very hard, which I can believe since you openly admit that you “only read about half way before giving up” and seem to require others to tell you if things are correct or not, to say nothing of your desire to be spoon-fed information, or else you’re simply disingenuous. Within 5 minutes of looking I found not one but two references to a serpent in the Garden of Hesperides as well as a dragon in same garden, which technically is also a serpent.
Here are some links, since you have trouble finding these things on your own, or at least that’s what you’d have us believe.
Now you have been spoon-fed 3 examples of a serpent in the Garden of Hesperides. You can dimiss them as not mentioning a serpent, demand references or instead, and this is the recourse I recommend: search out on your own where the artists got the information they were depicting.
Perhaps you should finish the book you gave up on, most of them contain the references at the end :D
Edit: There were actually 5 images of a serpent/dragon in Hesperides from a single wikipedia page. Here’s 2 more for you:
Now I known ancient origins doesn't even fact check their sources, this is just a copy past from Fox News, the Chilean archeologist who undercover this, Francisco Garrido, he himself stated the skulls belonged to young females aged between 16-17 to 30-35 years old, not little girls. There’s another skull however that is about 11-13 years old but of undetermined gender.
And finally, I don't know what the shrunken heads of the Jivaro tribe (literally the only ones in the world who came up with it) have to do with this, they are completely unrelated to this subject.
Great article, expect these towns would have created a great example of Jesuit benevolence so would love to know why they were expelled, especially as a result of this 'enlightenment', can only guess for political reasons? Am assuming the area is still largely Catholic.
Nor they were insurgents themselves, probably the wives of one, similar to what happened to Huascar, forced to watch his harem and mother being tortured and assassinated by Atahulpa’s warriors.
Now the rope thing is just Garrido's guess, while there are no mention ropes being used in the old Spanish accounts, is very well known Incas severed the heads of revolters and placed them on pikes for everyone to think twice before rebelling.
I can't understand why everyone expresses such shock over this. Some tribes in the western Amazon basin are headhunters to this day. I wouldn't be surprised if some were cannibals also.
Well I discovered I am of Jewish descent only about 8 years ago –I’m now 79– and I guess I’m an Ashkenazi Jew, if I want to claim anything particular, since my mother was Swiss & my father of English/Irish descent. I have never heard some of the terminology used by other commenters since I do not ‘belong’ to any defined Jewish groups, but I do like to read as much about this subject as possible. I do know now that there are many Europeans whose families hid their Jewish roots & like me have no idea who their ancesters were – some of those getting all Nazi lately may well be Jewish themselves !!! I tell everybody about this, but watching what is happening now in both the US & UK - is it time to go into hiding again ? Good grief humans, why are you so predictable? I have always felt outside all the human nonsense since I’m an Introvert anyway, not given to ‘joining’ the silly stuff going on all around me, but now what – do we all have to worry about other people’s gang mentality – I had thought we had all grown above this stuff since WW2...but apparently not ! I’m sorry, I refuse to join the ‘human gang’ – I’m just me, free to see the world my own way, and nobody tells me what to be ! If I do not keep my nose above the clouds I will only get bogged down in the quagmire that is human life ! And everybody SHOULD be able to just be the soul they are, living inside a shell they did NOT choose – we just arrived & found ourselves here – that is the true reality, so any ‘category’ is pure nonsense really !

Good article but missing some research. Ogham stones are also found in England:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silchester_Ogham_stone
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Blog/2009/11/ogham-stones-of-cornwall-and-devon.html
They are found all over the British Isles and perhaps further afield.

No, no no!
80 feet = 80% of 100 feet.
27m = 90% of 30m.
If the dimensions are 100 ft by 80 ft, then they are 30m by 24m.

And these weren’t sacrifices as Garrido himself states.

Shake any European family tree and you can be sure that a Yid will fall out.
