Just a thought...maybe Sapiens Sapiens is the result of Neanderthal and Denisovan interbreeding? Or maybe one of those two with a species of Homo that is as yet undiscovered?
I'm interested in where these ideas originally came from. For example the Spartans were in a real state of civil unrest with a few wealthy families controlling the masses that were about to rebel. The law giver, went to other states (Crete and Egypt) to determine models that might work and consulted the Oracle at Delphi (with Priests of the double axe), sending a Cretan Poet/Bard back to Sparta to lay the ground work for the new system. More details on the architect of Spartan society here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycurgus_of_Sparta This suggests to me that these ideas are not Greek in origin but Minoan and through evolution over three millennia have eventually come back around to the original principles, e.g. equality between the sexes, a strong leader (President or Prime Minister), the US having a fixed 2 term length in office, this is a Minoan concept, Minos had a fixed 8.5 year term. The affairs of state are largely organised by civil servants (priestess in Minoan society) taking direction from the leader, Minos. The appointment of which is by talent, the Minos could have been appointed by trials, being ultimately the ‘last to leave the bull leaping arena’, they needed to be brave and talented and were most likely selection through hard trails by loudest public roar (voting). This society was very stable for two millennia and dominated the region growing wealthy through trade and having a strong military (navy) that were the only fortification that was needed. On learning this the Spartans, pulled down all their city walls (fortifications), the military were the only walls the state needed. Similar there was more equality between the sexes in Sparta than any other Greek state (not by modern day standards, but the principles on which this system was based were – young ladies could jump the bull if they had the talent and inclination), but generally men tended to the heavy agricultural tasks and went to sea and females the lighter tasks and crafts or organised society (Priestess being known as bees, organising the hive, civil servants). It is also interesting to note that Lycurgus travelled to the main minoan trading centres to learn their methods (or what was left of them): Spain (West - tin), South (Eygpt) and Asia minor (India). The Delphic Maxims/Axioms have relevant today for how one should conduct oneself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphic_maxims Considering these are three or more millennia old there is only one that is politically incorrect today (likely to be of Greek origin). These give insight into the ancient thinking and I must confess they are relevant today.
The Spartans, introduced the system of the commons (voting), the second house (lords or Senate) to veto a proposal. With checks and balances to ensure stability. https://www.quora.com/What-type-of-government-did-Sparta-have
The British system is aligned with the Spartan system of government (with Monarch/Twin Kings of Hercules decent), the American more Athenian (republic). It was impossible for a tyrant to endure the Minos was (probably) put to death after they had served in office to bring in a new leader, so if they did have a detrimental role on society it was limited. The Spartans had checks and balances to ensure a tyrant could not dominate. Absolute Power corrupts absolutely, the systems are setup to limit a tyrant from ever being able to continue to acquire absolute power. The Queen, by example assembles the government, but plays no part in Politics. It doesn’t matter what these systems are but they all have the same purpose.
Now consider the Greek Parthenon, the Gods hale from the Cyclades islands, but the Minoans don’t believe in them themselves, they are just rulers, the Minoan belief system is actually just describing how the celestial bodies actually work (Mother Earth, Venus, Sun, Moon). The world would now be a lot further along if Thera had not erupted. It has taken three and half millennia to get back to these accepted principles. There are distinct advantages to living on an island, you avoid the infighting between kingdoms and can advance society for the greater good of everyone.
so if the translation was off and was meant to say “Place of Origin” instead of “Place of orientation” Then this could be a model of Alantis or Mount Olympus, and the person responsible for the design was taken to this place to survey and convey to us here on earth?

The story of Noah also mentions "spring of the grat deep bursth forth". I have no Idea how much water there is u is in the earths core, as most sources I've read had only "guestimates" of the amount of water in earths core.

I am the eye witness. I have spent months in Tanzania (Mt Kilimanjaro, Ngorongoro, Tarangeti, Serengeti, Oldupai, Stonetown, Arusha, Dar Es Salaam) and southern Kenya, I CAN attest this - people's from India have ruled, enslaved, taxed, employed the peoples of East Africa. Look for evidence of evolution of intelligence in the masters.
From personal experience, I saw peoples content in men begging alongside highways (built by Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch tourism companies) chatteling women and women tending flocks, gathering firewood and collecting water. My last excursion 6 years ago revealed no material change in "cities" more like slums, and culture than the first trip 20 years ago.
Provided the native tribes developed in intellect rapidly after eons in this diatribe, the advancements today come from outside influences and NOT the locals.
FACTS are facts. Question me.
The notion that shepherds wouldn't be in the fields during December is false. This has been discounted many times and a trip to Israel during the 'cold winter months' ' would show otherwise. Interesting read though!
Everything I have read points to a reduction in violence in the world. But there does seem to be a rise in self centered behavior, such as what we see in these photos of vandalized antiquities. One problem I'm constantly confronted with as a volunteer at a natural area is the disregard for others and for natural and cultural resources. "It's just me" seems to be the refrain and the thinking. Education and ethical training would seem to be the answer. But nobody seems to want to spend money on training people in the arts and humanities and the ethical motifs contained therein. It seems that moving money upward toward the extremely wealthy and toward corporate entities that have no conscience, no values whatsoever other than profit, is a detriment to society.
It would appear that there are Disrespectful Petty Garbage People all over the World .. People should really try teaching they`er little Shit Maggots some Respect ..Or is that all People are is Parasitic Maggots ?
What is the latitude range for the Scottish sites, I did look at the stone circles in England Latitudes, there seems to be some sort of optimisation going on, as if to hone in on a position, I suspect it is the celestial axis (pure guess), possible recording procession. I don't know very much about these circles if they were trying to track precession then there would need to be a method of recording the passage of time between builds, are there any markings on stones that could have been used. Then again there may be a purpose behind referring to the same object from slightly different positions. They may have been trying to work out how big something was and how far away it is, the obvious candidates would be the celestial bodies: moon, venus, the sun. I suspect that the ancients people were actually much better than a modern-day population with astronomy.
Come on Ashley, the territory know as England!! There are bigger problems to worry about.

Most people I have come across that are Sitchin critic's have not even taken the time to read all 5 books in the earth Chronicles. People get so caught up in things he may have got wrong but fail to understand that nobody is perfect and so what if he got some stuff wrong? People makes mistakes. But I know one thing, Sitchin's books are no walk in the park. I feel lucky to have a biblical foundation before I read them. He was on to something and I know this because I FEEL it as well as understand. Haters gonna hate.

Maybe this had something to do with the "missin water":

Hence the need for a Constitution to, hopefully, preserve the democratic republic.

I would consider such vandals, regardless of who they are, ISISI Operators as ISIS went around destroying ancient sites as well.

Tree of life is different than the Tree of knowledge? The tree was special because it contained the magic of tryptamine alkaloids.
