    I do not have a PhD and have read only one of the Setchin books.
    you say that he possibly mistranslated.
    Did you notice that you used the word probably more than once.

    It's the same as we the indigenous black people did when we built on the highest mountains to have the Rock of Gibraltar Granada of the North Afarakans.. who also built the Cordoba, and more, in spain..from 711 AD - 1400s AD...

    Heavens? Logically speaking, it was to ensure visibility, to be able to view all of their surroundings as does the falcon..being the only bird to fly as high, and can still view all of its habitats including the sun, and stars, in the sky..

    Maybe those who failed to uphold their legal responsibilities in protecting the citizens should consider the actions of Charondas.

    Great work by Dr. Clyde Winters.There are no aliens, expecially ancient aliens as that is based upon the Sumerian King’s List which contains lies about the age of reign for various kings. These gods, which are actually just tetraploid humans, have always claimed immortality which is totally false. They may live two to three times as long as us normal diploid humans but they are not immortal. I prove that in my book, Secrets of the PInk Kush. 

    They are not from Nibiru or Orion or another planet but from Earth and just have doubled chromosomes leading to superior intelligence and gigantic sizes (10 to 12 feet tall).

    Sitchin did contribute some great work but either made errors or obfuscated the truth because the HIDDEN ONES or Serpent People or Sumerians did not want their existence known. The Illuminati report to these giants and obey their nefarious commands.

    It is these tetraploid humans who are in the UFOs, not aliens and they control our governments and planet in secret.

    Their objective is to control mankind through deceit and turn our society into a matriarchal Luciferian civilization which is also known as the New World Order.

    They are the ones that wrote much of the Old Testament.

    Bang on. The Sumerians were like other cultures around this region, were often describing the stars and celestial bodies, not aliens! Spot on and thanks for the translations. The Minoans have what seems to be a similar belief system. It is Mother Earth (north) winter midnight, Son the Sun South midday, summer solstice, with consort Venus give life to the day in the east (spring equinox). The Sun has a virgin twin sister Moon light, at sunset West, autumn equinox. In this way, they can express, time of day, seasons and directions. The deities are different but the meaning seems to be similar.

    This is wrong. Venus relates to daybreak East, with her consort the Sun south. Not Sunset west, when the moon comes out! The virgin mistress looks after the underworld, it is not a story, they are describing how the celestial bodies work. The two sisters in law have become very confused! Venus becomes Aphrodite sometimes shown with a dove, The virgin mistress of wild animals - Athena, symbol Owl by moonlight when used to express direction. You are referring two different deities interchangeably and they are distinct.

    Why do writings from ancient civilizations, when given non-traditional interpretations are always regarded as 'myths, legends'.., but is given 'historical basis' when religions/christianity or judaism texts are scrutinize ?

    Sumerian texts are not just 'myths, or talisman/magic incantations' but real actual references to non-traditional stories.

    FINAL EDIT: Sorry it was Chris Stringer who I was taking to task. TSUNAMIS and rafts of vegetation?!!? That's so rich I just choked. I'll bet if you remove Stringers brain, nobody could tell the difference. That's still not saying Everett knows what he's talking about. Where is his cave dwellers sea-faring union card? Does he really know how modern people on a sailboat communicate. Doesn't seem like it. Paddles? Seriously? Why doesn't he just postulate they all turned toward the stern (look it up) and exhaled real hard, in unison. One guy playing the drum to keep 'em organized?

    EDIT: I am writing an article about the difference between ocean-going, offshore, looong distance sailors, and their completely unacknowledged contributions to humanity around the world, and the landlubbers who have no knowledge of how humans got such a rich and varied life.

    Hi Ashley, interesting article but totally infuriating.
    I have yet to see one frikkin 'specialist' anthropologist, linguist, archaeologist or any other so called 'scientist' who mutters the word "boats" who has ANY offshore experience, or even basic knowledge about sailing, ya know, with sails.
    Everett says “there is little evidence that H. erectus was a sophisticated seafarer..." Oh really? What are his sailing credentials? He read about it? Or does he reason that without a GPS those backwards people could not have done what they obviously DID do. My gawd, cancel that man's grant. I suspect his linguist credentials as well. I looked him up in the dictionary and found his picture next to the word 'Bloviate'.
    I am writing an article about the difference between ocean-going, offshore, looong distance sailors and their completely unacknowledged contributions to humanity around the world. Everett and his kind don't come off well in that article. The experts without experience but lots of 'knowledge' are a very recent boil on the mind of man.

    A depiction of these animals are often found in Tibetan mandala's...almost of if to show its nature of fire and movement...I always wondered why it was there, I thought it was bull farting...it must be this bonnacon though.

    I have no academic qualifications, but am interested in things ancient. This article appears to me to have been written with the tongue firmly in cheek. The delivery of stones to the pyramid site at the rate of 340 per day will take some doing, and will also not be enough to finish in 20 to 40 years. I would like to see Aswan granite floated down the Nile. To provide flotation for 80 tons of granite, you would need a volume of about 40000 litres of air bladders (camel stomachs?).
    However there is also the matter of the engineering involved in building the pyramids by people supposedly scarcely out of the stone age. For me there are still many mysteries surrounding the pyramids.

    The span between the prints indicates that the individuals were walking instead of running, which indicates that they perceived no imminent danger. This tells us that they were not there during any kind of life threatening event during their descent.

    So what were they doing up there? I would offer these possibilities:
    1) They went up there in a show of bravery, ritualistic (as in some rite of passage) or impomptu ("Hey, ladies, watch how macho we are going up to bravely face the Maw That Bakes Mortal Flesh to Medium-Rare!")
    2) They went up there to sacrifice something or someone to the volcano, a practice well-documented by historians and anthropologists to recent times across the world).
    3) Something was up there they wanted badly enough to risk life and limb. I am unsure of what that might have been, but volcanic glass or red-hot, glowing rocks come to mind.

    One way or another, the very good question about "Who climbs an active volcano?" has a relatively obvious answer; to wit. "A moron. THAT'S who climbs an active volcano."

    Good article, and thanks for the viseos. The north star at this time was Thuban, the ‘snake’ in Draco. True North would not point to any particular star exactly, but at this time it is very well aligned! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession#/media/File:Precession_N.gif

    The ancients know about precession, both the Minoans and the Sumerians used gryphons when referring to the cone that the earth wobbles around, the ancient seemed to know that the pole star was changing, they built stone circles and buildings to record it’s current position for future generations. It was a bit like building deep thought to answer the ultimate question, but in antiquity, what is the centre of the life, the universe and everything. Both cultures had great maths, fractional trigonometry and Fibonacci sequences/Pi, respectively. They could work out angles very well. There may be a clue to the architects, the Minoans would build anything for metal, the Egyptians were not short of gold. The clue might be the water technology. For example, the Minoans had hot and cold water running into dwellings, sewers and aqueducts. They built a palace for Baal, it was recorded as having, steam rooms, doors that opened by fire (steam) and advance irrigation for gardens. They could build anything, and I suspect were trying to strengthen ties with those in power around the region to support trade, it is known they installed their own people towards the end of the period, but perhaps they were trying to do so for millennia. They were know to the Egyptians as Keftui or Captor, the Egyptians just knew they came once a year with everything they needed in exchange for the things the Minoans needed (papyrus for records, ivory and gold). I’m not suggesting the Egyptians were not building pyramids before, but if you wanted the best civil engineers on the planet then they had them. There are loads of things in Egyptian tombs from Minoan origin. I don’t think many appreciate exactly how much influence they had, tin from Iberia in the west, copper from Cyprus and the Levant (Asia) to the East, Agricultural bulks from the North and specialist papyrus, flax, ivory and gold to the south. They connected the three continents and all the worlds knowledge and commodities flowed through their ports. It wasn’t just the most valuable personal possessions in the world they crafted, it was everything, from weapons to supply of experts (for metal), such as engineers, priestesses for study of the stars or Palace accounting (or Quantity surveying)! These people were precise, they loved craftmanship, they were not only good with stone but every material (you need these for the tooling and rigs), they knew mathematics, they studied the stars, were organised, and could build all the other things you need to pull this off: the machines and jigs, cranes to process huge quantities of material in a lifetime! It’s the use of water, canals for moving blocks and making precise cuts, that has all the hallmarks of Minoan architects and engineering. By example, the Egyptians didn’t even have sea worthy ships, the Minoans had Minos composite hulls by comparison (that’s right: white, shiny, low drag composite hulls of linen, pine resin and limestone additive, they may have had copper bottoms to, that would be four millennia before the Royal Navy, the Egyptians were tinkering around in reed boats). That stone jig and water level for ensuring the same precision across the course of blocks is genius! The Pharos name is interesting in this context. My take is the engineers and architects for this project were Minoan, to be knocked down by good argument.

    The real question is how many tetraploid humans were involved in the building of the pyramids. Until archaelogists recognize that is was the tetraploid humans that started civilization (The Mes) and built many pyramids around the globe, including the Antarctic (formerly Atlantis), then we will never know the truth.

    Secrets of the Pink Kush proves the existence of tetraploid humans and their accomplishments.
