         Is there anyone interested in the actual workings of a cubit rod?

    Fulvia was a third wife of Marcus Antonius and declared the war against Octavian Caesar. She was much more important than Cleopatra, but of course Shakespeare didn't write about her so she is less known.

    The Australian Aboriginals have existed in Australia for 50 to 60000 years and have been creating cave art for all that time. They have never been anywhere else, OK they did refresh their cave and wall art from time to time making it difficult to accurately age but as they are the oldest race on earth that have been in the same place for that time then theirs must be the oldest so called cave art in the world.

  • Reply to: Was the Massive Stone Circle of Avebury In Honor of a Humble Neolithic House? [New Report]   5 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Tara Gabe

    "What if-"
    The stones in the newly discovered house were the holy objects. The house could have been built to protect the stones, or to provide housing for the priest(ess) that cared for the holy objects. Most people do not build homes with large rocks in the middle of the room for no reason unless there is something very special about the stones. As religious rites became more important to the community the desire for a more impressive token of worship; a church, if you will, grew and the next outer circle of stones was created. It is possible that human ego entered the equation and the priest(ess) convinced the community to build an even larger circle of stones, thus adding to the priest(ess)'s importance or currying the favor of the god(s) the stones represented.
    The small house may not be dedicated an individual person but to the god(s) the holy stones inside the house represent.

    The best description of Disney's Pocahontas I read was she is a "peace loving, eco-warrior in a Buckskin Cocktail dress."

    This is indeed a fascinating discovery! Thanks for sharing!
    But, please, note that Romualdova Pecina is NOT in the Balkans, but in the Adriatic Region, more precisely in Istria, which is the part of the Republic of Croatia not far from Italy so it is as if you said that Italy is in the Balkans as well.
    It would be better if you wrote either "in Croatia" or "in SE Europe" instead. (Although, it is much closer to central Europe that the SE Europe.)

    Ah, yes, the old 'if it doesn't confirm with the accepted version of history, deny it and call them crackpots' ploy used by so many in positions of power. No matter what the analysis says to the authenticity of the pieces or sites. It drives me up the wall and makes me feel that there is a far more interesting history being hidden from us. Evidence suggests that many ancient peoples made it to the americas. Some ending up stranded, some successfully returning. If you keep your eyes and ears open, you can find many such pieces of evidence that have been swiftly discredited then summarily swept under the rug. There will also, inevitably, almost always be someone who 'comes forward' to claim that they made the artifacts. Then the world as a whole can say, 'see? They're fakes' and simply ignore them, even if it later is proved to be a lie. It's almost formulaic, and it's disturbing. Also, I frankly don't trust the Smithsonian at all. There have been many cases where, as soon as they're involved, artifacts are called out as fakes, discoverers and supporters are discredited, and all too often, artifacts 'mysteriouly' disappear. I too have to wonder at the motivations behind this, and can only come up with: control. Brainwashing the general populace into accepting only their approved version of history with an almost dogmatic fervor. We don't know our own history nearly as well as we've been led to believe.

    The article states that only 19 of the 22 letters are present, was the H one of them. Then it could definitely been Hiram. If Phoenician, like other ancient languages had no vowels, that would explain the Ahiram Ahirom spellings and the lack of the capital A

    I’m a firm believer that there was a world-wide civilization in our distant past. I see no reason why ruins should not be in the water if sea levels were so low, especially if the Caribbean is as recent as scientists believe.  I think our stories of Atlantis, Lemaria etc. are memories of that civilization

    Well, like most of the things going on in the Bible, I tend to believe it's either made up nonsense or pieces of stories from far earlier history that have been woven into another story to serve a purpose.

  • Reply to: Are These Incredible Historical Coincidences Actually Due to Synchronicity or Mathematical Probability?   5 years 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Roy Larouche

    Is there something that got deleted by mistake between the following two paragraphs?

    Another head scratcher is that the mass of the Great Pyramid is estimated at nearly six million tons and if one multiplies this by one hundred million, you get the approximate mass of the Earth. Furthermore, the exact geographical coordinates of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 29.9792458°N and the speed of light is: 299,792,458 meters per second. At first glance these facts seems far too accurate to be mere coincidence, but watch how easy all this is rationalized.

    The Skeptical Tools Of Synchronicity And Serendipity
    Firstly, ancient Egyptian builders measured in cubits, between 444 mm (17.48 inches) and 529.2 mm (20.83 inches) long. The meter measurement was not made official until the 1700s. Website MetaBunk argues: “If they actually knew about the meter one would expect them to use such unit for measurement as well. They simply did not.” It adds: “A matching sequence of five digits is not particularly strange or extraordinary. People have won the lottery matching far longer sequences than just five digits. Sometimes numbers simply match up without any connection whatsoever. So because this argument requires some forcing we can conclude that this is likely nothing but a coincidence.”

    If Not I fail to see the connection, as in the first paragraph you are talking about weight and location but in the second about units of measure concerning lengths.

    I'm eagerly still waiting to see "how easy this is all rationalized"

    I fear that many of the thousands of artifacts that are evidence of pre-columbian contact or occupation have been destroyed or lost, even though they supposedly went to reputable organizations such as Carnegie or Smithsonian. Their provenance was discredited, and the discoverers were ridiculed and essentially black-balled. Many careers were derailed or stunted as a result of even having the audacity to publicize findings that contradicted ‘Columbus first’ or ‘Clovis first’ doctrines. 

    I believe it was (maybe still is) an effort to brainwash the population to believe in the superiority of WASP intelligence and accomplishments, and reinforce our ‘right’ to dominate the original inhabitants of these lands.

    It seems that new discoveries in the homo line are popping up frequently. The landscape is littered with failed experiments of evolution or possibly manipulation, whether by nature or by some external agent. Whether it’s God, the gods, or ancient astronauts is not as important to me as the implications for the future of Homo Sapiens – some believe that we may be approaching the ‘singularity’, melding of man with machines, or does AI take over totally?

    "Finally, the effects of magic mushrooms are temporary. Any major breakthroughs in behavior or thought process would not have lasted longer than any other effects of the mushrooms." Tell that to Dr. Paul Stamets whose chronic stuttering ceased completely after one high dose mushroom trip. www.fungi.com
