    Comment Author: Gary Moran

    I’m sure there have been very real instances of collective mass hysteria, mob mentality and such occuring, too much historical proof to deny that, but I have to put ‘demons” in the same category as the tooth fairy, Easter bunny., and the boogey man under the bed. They only seem to exist in the mind, and are only there in one’s imagination..

    The irony is after all that hypocritical politisized demonization about nazis calling him a viking to suit a political agenda the article then acknowledges that this man "may have thought of himself as a red blooded viking".

    So does that mean the Nazis were actually historically correct ?? But that would not suit the authors political agenda to acknowledge that ?? I am confused.

    Maybe he was a transgender African with autistic spectrum disorder ??

  • Reply to: Dead Seas Scrolls Reveal that Noah's Ark Was Shaped Like a Pyramid   4 years 9 months ago

    Actually the Ark was a ship, and you can zoom in on Google earth on the remains near “Uzengili, Agri, Turkey”. A 515 ft long (300 Royal Egyptian Cubits) ancient petrified wooden boat, 6300 feet above sea level and 100 miles from the nearest large body of water. Sub-Surface radar gave a complete 3D image of the structure underground, showing the decks, two parallell passages between animal pens, the water tanks in the bow, etc.

    The Box idea is nonsensical. There is NO WAY a box could survive the trubulent waters and waves of a massive flood.

    "other nearby areas such as Chupacigarro, Lurihausi, and Miraya rose to power during Caral’s demise."

    Why weren't these areas affected by climate change? It only happened in the one town?

    Gilgamesh epicis from clay objects that are older than earliest Biblical Manuscripts. The Biblical account of Noah is older still, as the exhaustive record and number of identical manuscripts supports the Biblical account as unchanging over the centuries. To deny the veracity of the Bible just because the clay cylinders are themselves older is very weak.

    Fascinating that despite ALL the evidence throughout history, the “modern” world still tries to avoid the simplest explanation – demons are real! This should at least be considered. As for Salem, it is still the centre of Witchcraft in the US. 

  • Reply to: The Disturbing True Story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin   4 years 9 months ago
    Comment Author: Jack Doe Jr

    In that time period travelling pipers dressed in colourful outfits and playing musical instruments to get the attention of a crowd to gather were popular. Often they told of far away lands where young folk could travel with them and start a better more prosperous life in a new starting settlement. It is believed the pied piper tale talks of such an incident where Hamelins youth resettled somewhere and never returned  never to be seen again. The story seems to be based on truth however as its earliest known recording is 100 years after the event it has been passed down through verbal stories that can and do easily change over generations. There seems to be nothing mysterious about the tale at all except a longing to explain what happened to a whole lost generation from Hamelin to a new beginning as was popular in those days and the story being added to for story telling. I doubt the children were young children at all but a younger generation and doubt any rats or caves existed in early tellings at all.  Plus like all good stories a lesson has been written and included into the tale.

  • Reply to: Ancient Egyptian Tomb to be Cut Up and Moved to Tourist Hotspot, Sparking Fury   4 years 9 months ago
    Comment Author: HMF

    You are really off base here. First, Egypt already has a history of moving large archeological sites. The Temple at Abu Simbel was moved 65 metre up to save it from being flooded when a dam was built in the 60’s. The Temple of Dendur was gifted to the USA by Egypt and is on display in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Moving an archeological site is not a new thing. Second, not everyone who would like to see this is either physically or financially able to travel to a remote site. And third, vandals are capable of that travel. For some reason there are people in this world who take pleasure in defacing archeological sites, witness the recent carving of swastikas on prehistoric sites in England or the destruction of monuments by ISIS. As long as the site can be moved safely, and as long as it remains in Egypt, I see no reason why it should not be moved if that is what Egypt wishes to do. It is, after all, their site and their decision to make.

    Comment Author: Marjan Manc

    For the author, stop waving with your bachelor degree, when it's obvious that you research and write only one side of the story.

    The circumcision came to be when Ethiopians regained their rule over Kemet and upon EXPELLING the evil Hyksos (Semitic tribe that came in Kemet across Sinai desert and lived there approx 400 years, from which ruled for about 200 years) as to mark them and everyone to know that these people are pure evil.

  • Reply to: Has the Biblical Moses Been Identified in Secular Egyptian Records?   4 years 9 months ago
    Comment Author: Paul Davies

    When Ron Wyatt discovered the Red Sea Crossing at Nuweiba in the late 80s, he laid out this explanation, based on the details provided by the Dept of Antiquities in Egypt. The key missing from the article above is that in the 18th dynasty, the title “Tuthmosis” was the Crown Prince title (like ‘Prince of Wales’), whereeas the Pharoah was mostly known by “Amenhotep”. So the SAME person could have royal monuments under different titles – the invested crown prince rules the North in the name of the Pharoah. Remember Pharoah means “Great House” not King!

    So Senemnut (Moses) assists his adopted mother as the Pharoah’s ruling representative in the North (Hatshepsut as Pharoah). She was the only remaining child of her father. He is then invested as Crown Prince and takes the Tuthmosis title (Tuthmosis 2). After a number of years and successful military campaigns he sides with his Hebrew heritage and has to flee. The common people cannot be told that the God-Emperor-in-training was a traitor, so they find a cousin of the Pharoah, dress him in the outfit, and life goes on with Tuthmosis 3, who then became Amenhotep 2. Except….

    Fake statues are exposed because they are mirror-image faces, whereas Egyptians of the day valued life-real faces. So… all the statues of Hatshepsut and Senemnut in public places had to be destroyed, or someon would expose the con. So Tut 3 destroyed all the statues, and put around the story that Hatshepsut had offended the Gods by ruling….

    Gary,
    In honor of the 300th anniversary of the Salem/Andover trials, an author and historian was asked to come up with some other reason then mass hysteria for the trials. He looked into things and suggested that it might have been the famed Ergot fungus. He was thanked for his idea and even wrote a book.
    Ergot fungus, or wolfs tooth as it was known then, had been renowned since the time of the Viking invasions. For hundreds of year, there had been reports all over Europe of grainerys having to be dumped because they had the Wolfs tooth fungus. There are also list of symptoms or what the horrible fungus causes. Some of the symptoms are seeing things and hearing voices but the most famous are the physical decline of the person into gangrenous wounds and ultimately death. As the puritans were so particular to note all the girls symptoms, and never said anything about them suffering gangrene or dying, it is unlikely that Ergot was the problem. There is also very strong reason to believe that Ergot would have struck all the people in the village as it had in Europe, not just the young girls of Salem village.
    In about 1702, or so, John Hale published an account of the witch trials posthumous (modest enquiry into the nature of witchcraft, 1702). He had been one of the judges during the proceedings of 1693. In his work, he argues that the judges who had been called in to serve on the trials did not know that the village and the town were set against each other. If they had, they would have gone about the trials a different way. The judges had not been told the whole truth of the matter.
    And in that trial transcripts themselves, some of which are reprinted in,Wonders of the invisible world, Cotton Mather 1693, Tell a story of Hysteria.
    Basically, little Abigail Williams would say: "They see birds! Yellow birds!"
    And all the afflicted girls would start crying out and pointing and screaming about yellow birds.
    Then little Abigail Williams would say " And now they are going to faint!"
    And all the afflicted girls would cry out, act in part, and faint away.

    Just a funny side note, since we are on the subject: The trial transcripts are really very interesting. One of the accused is a rough, angry person who insult both the court and threatens the accusers. I'm not really surprised that she were convicted. If i remember right the judges labeled her a vociferous old hag, or something like that.
    Anyway, the short of my commentary is simply that there is far more reason to believe that the Salem/Andover trials really were mass hysteria then they were Ergot fungus.

  • Reply to: Dissolving Myths: Vikings Did NOT Hide Behind Shield Walls   4 years 9 months ago
    Comment Author: Erik Grigg

    If he found no references to shield walls in the written sources I suggest the researcher looks again. Vikings didn’t use a wall when attacking but clearly did when under missile attack or when outnumbered. There are clear references to them using it in early medieval texts like the Battle of Maldon poem where they form up behind a bordweall (Old Eanglish for a shield wall). Warming must have been quite selctive in the archaeolgical evidence he uses because shields do become larger in the 9th and 10th centuries suggesting they are not used merely to parry in the melee but are used in defensive formations. Reenactors, keep your shield walls!

  • Reply to: Swastikas Carved at Prehistoric Sites in England by Neo-Nazi Groups that Worship Norse God Odin   4 years 9 months ago
    Comment Author: ancient-origins

    Selective reporting is where you avoid publishing a news story out of fear of offending a particular group. We prefer to tell things as they are.

    Go to The Telegraph article on this subject matter to see photos of the swastikas carved in the trees following the ceremonies carried out by this group. 

    If you take the time to look through the content of our website, you will find hundreds of articles on the rich history and traditions of paganism. Unfortunately some (not all) modern day groups have corrupted and adultered the original traditions and beliefs of those ancient peoples.

    Comment Author: Rayne Ulfa

    The article has been spread all over the media and I’m surprised that this website is posting trash like this. It’s another way of demonising the pagan and heathen religions of England. They’re not vandalising sacred sites or marking swastikas on trees as the article is saying. This is propaganda spreading lies. The liberals and elite want to ban paganism in the UK and are doing all they can to start vicious rumours.

    Really? I am Asatruar and i find these idiots using my gods as an excuse for wanton destruction and hate speech utterly offensive. What a bunch of ignorant stupid people. Vandalism of ancient sites that have nothing to do with their supposed beliefs shows how mindless and pathetic these folk are. It is historically known the Norse were a diverse group that lived and intermingled with a wide group of different peoples. The offensive white supremacy crap spouted by these idiots is what many genuine pagan and heathen groups strive to distance themselves from and condemn. These disgusting people gives all heathens a bad name and the media must ensure to clarify that that they are the exception and not the rule. These people are nothing but thugs.

  • Reply to: Ningal: The Mesopotamian Goddess Awakening Female Mysticism   4 years 9 months ago
    Comment Author: William Bradshaw

    Contrary to what the author of this article claims, most religions actually secretly worship goddessess. They are actually worshipping a DIVA or DEVI referred to as Lucifer, the Light Bearer. She is, apparently, the goddess that brings enlightenment to humanity. 

    I say apparently because Lucifer (AKA Venus) is actually deceiving all humans because she promises peace and enlightenment but only delivers war (culling of men) and the dark ages (expunging history).

     

    The greatest fear of witches are those that are directly involved with the Luciferian movement (Devil worship) because they seek to go against men, nature and even humanity itself.

    These ancient gods and goddesses were, and are, real. They are in fact tetraploid humans and the highest ranking female tetraplold humans holds the office of Lucifer. With the exception of a few religions (Muslims, various indigenous peoples), they are all Persian based religions and are concerned with Diva worship, even Catholicism which worships MARY, not Jesus.

    From what I’ve read, the Salem incidents most likely were caused by ergot fungus on rye seeds made into bread, as that can cause all the same physical symptoms.
