  • Reply to: What Caused the War of the Titans in Greek Mythology? (Video)   2 months 3 weeks ago
    Comment Author: George Metaxas

    These stories with giants fighting between them, were the outcome of the discovery of the bones of giant mammals that were uneathed in various places in Greece, and of the effort to justify their existence. Plus, that the ancient Greeks had a very fertile imagination.

    ….”older Tsimane people, only about 1% suffer from dementia. In contrast, 11% of people aged 65 and older living in the United States have dementia”… Then what is the percentage of Tsimane people over 65, in comparison to US citizens? I wouldn’t be surprised if the numbers are not far away from 1% and 10% respectively. I mean that in western societies medical care helps a much higher percentage of older people to survive with severe medical conditions, than in primitive cultures.

    The medicine of Galen was often based on poor science, yet the medicine of today is no different in that regard.
    Alzheimers is not a disease "of modern environments and lifestyles, with sedentary behavior and exposure to air pollution largely to blame."

    It is caused by pollution to the body, but that is intentional pollution in food, water, medicines (including vaccines), chemspraying* and whatever other ways we can be poisoned without our knowledge.

    This is because our Luciferian rulers want to rule largely without us. They don't need so many subjects and certainly not so many elderly subjects.

    They probably don't really mind me saying this, as you long as you don't believe it, which they know you most certainty won't.

    They rule because you and the billions like you allow them to. They regard that as acceptance. In that respect, they're right.

    * Chemsprayimg is deliberate aerial pollution, so in this respect they're telling the truth. It's just what they say doesn't mean what you think it does. This is a common Luciferian tactic, to tell revealing truth knowing it shall be misunderstood.

    These artifacts a very interesting and beautiful.  It’s breathtaking to know artisans in antiquity were capable of such fine and creative pieces.  I wonder what, if any, religious significance these items had?

  • Reply to: Why Are Mysterious Handbags Prevalent in Ancient Carvings Worldwide?   2 months 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Morgain

    Far too much religious/ cosmology fuss. The earliest or very early tool was the bag. There are many refs to stone tools because they survive millennia easily. But long before that we made tools from more easily worked materials: wood (digging sticks, staves) and BAGS of large leaves, grasses, skins. Essential as for most of our story we have been mobile gypsies so carrying stuff vital. Food, babies, and lined with clay, water, then fire. Carrying a bag would be a s strandard as wearing something around the loins.

  • Reply to: Has the Archaeologist’s Spade Been Replaced By Modern Technology?   2 months 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Archaeologist

    The archeologist’s spade can and never will be replaced.  It takes the archeologist’s sight and careful excavation to see what’s important and what’s not.  How many discoveries have been made because an archeologist saw something peeking through the dirt that needed further study, or, when really lucky, the glint of gold?

    You do a disservice to the field of archeology when you suggest we’re replaceable by modern technology.

    How were the Pyramids of Giza constructed? I’m always curious about this question.

  • Reply to: How Does the Line of Succession to the British Throne Work? (Video)   2 months 4 weeks ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    The current line of succession not only demonstrates the "enduring fluidity of monarchy in Britain", but also the widespread desire to be ruled from the cradle to the grave as perpetual children, rather than face adulthood and the truth of this world full on..

  • Reply to: Prehistoric Lines Across Malta Defy Explanation: The Cart Ruts of Misrah Ghar il-Kbir   3 months 1 day ago
    Comment Author: Nagurski

    This seems to me a aprt of a system to move things. IDK if it is stones or dirt. But the grooves are a type of man carved reverse rail system so carts or sleds could move over the rough terrain and not steer off course. Also they might have been used as a way to “Walk” stones along a pathway utilizing wegges that went under the stones and scooted them along. The grooves were necessary so the movers could get under the stones or carts and use the surface of the terrain as a resting surface. Another method of moving stones must have become more popular or easier than this since this method is isolated to a only a few spots. The people here might have been isolated and forced to come up with their own methods until knowledge came from beyond their society.

    Perhaps these ruts are cut to act as guides to sledges to move stones for monuments. So the bottom was smoothed and leveled and grease could be used to facilitate sliding. Geological turmoil may produce some irrational curt courses. The width implies that two cattles were used to pull and stones could have been used to cover the old ruts at crossings to facilitate cattle movement.

  • Reply to: Ten Mysterious Rock Art Examples from the Ancient World   3 months 3 days ago
    Comment Author: Bgilroy

    Mark you are trying to understand the deep past by using a modern frame of reference.
    That is just as ludicrous. People from deep antiquities' main concern was survial. There was not an abundant supply of materials for making art available. Any resource that were used, to make pigments and tools for artistic purposes, including time, was less resources available for survival. Most if not all ancient rock art were used to convey information to others who came upon them, so they needed to be understood by others who may not be from the same culture. That is why you see many of the same or similar symbols across the world. It is due to their frame of refetence that these symbols conveyed a common theme or message. If rock art was left somewhere it was for a very important reason because of the limited resources being diverted away from survival. There was no such thing as artist as a social role or job back then. There were people that can draw, just like today, but there function wasn't just to create art.
    If you have ever tried to live off the land, you will understand that creating art is the last thing on your mind because there are so many basic needs that need to satisfied first or else you risk your own survivial.

  • Reply to: Living Close To The Bone – A Day In The Life Of A Hunter-Gatherer   3 months 5 days ago
    Comment Author: Morgain

    I take issue with the statement that hunter-gatherer days were all the same. Studies of the lifestyle show hunting means a burst of activity, then high protein feeding followed by laziness, prep pf tools and supplies, cycle repeat.

    Secondly the article presentation strongly implies hunting was done by males. Note the picture (probably not chosen by author) but the author uses the misleading ‘homo erectus, upright man’which should read ‘upright human’.

    Thirdly the bulk of food in the hunter gather life is vegetable, nuts etc gathering. Some small game. Larger kills were/ are not constantly pursued – too exhausting and only 50% success rate anyway. So high protein bulk meals were/ are special occasions interspersed with everyday gathering, proto gardening (monitoring, some aid to good patches of veg/ fruit supplies, hence digging sticks).

    Couldn't help noticing that hieroglyphic symbol, (no catouche?) for Queen Neith-Hotep resembles an ancient surveying tool. Two horizontal bars at right angles on a vertical rod! Probs a bit of a stretch, but still...

    An article about crucifixion without a single mention of the famous crucifixion of all.

    The Devil would be most pleased.

  • Reply to: Charlemagne: How He Changed History Forever (Video)   3 months 6 days ago
    Comment Author: Cataibh

    Charles is an imposing figure in history. Yet, was he that great? Were other Christians he persecuted that heretical? Was he, himself, even that Christian?

    We have a one-sided ledger. It is written by the winners, such as Pope Leo III. The vanquished tell us nothing. Any lies about them must remain unchallenged.

    We are expected to believe what we're told. However, given who happily stands behind what we're told, such as the Vatican, that would seem to be potential folly.

    To put it bluntly, was Charles closer to Satan than to God?
