Interesting article... But I wonder how the ark got up there that high. Noah must have had a big truck or helicopter or maybe he called in the aliens (...) to lift the ark to its final resting place. Because for water or a flood its impossible. There is not enough water on the planet to get an ark up that high!
Look at global warming maps. When the temperature on earth rises a substantial number of degrees the water goes up, a couple of centimeters, maybe even a couple of meters, maybe even ten or twenty meters or even a hundred. But almost two kilometers....
That's just rediculous you fools!!!
Friga or Priya (Sanskrit) - this is Ancient Skytho-Ukrainian words: Friga - F(th)=Tse-This, Ri-goddess Ra- Sun, ga - Sacred Cow - Symbol of goddess Ra; Priya = Pryyemna - nice, or one that accepts = female, woman, mother.
Dear Valda Roric, I can explain the meaning of all these, and other Sacred Symbols, and the meaning of their own names. For example: Valknut.These are Ancient Skytho-Ukrainian words: Val(warrior) = Ox(warrior), kanut = to die slowly, = Oxes-warriors who died. In the original drawing, the vertices of the triangles are directed to the other direction - to the left, but not to the top, as usually. If directed to the left - it means death.
Some people in Ancient Egypt believed in the Left Eye - Wedjat, which was identified with the Goddes of Moon; other people believed in the Right Eye - Udjat, which was identified with the God of Sun.
Dear Ashley, it's not Botanical Mystery, because it's not flower, and it's not mushrooms. This is one Ancient Sacred Symbol, which consists of six Main Sacred Symbols. These Symbols denote Mail and Female Energies. Where Female Energy is the Main thing.
Viking artifacts have claimed to have been found around the Great Lakes and indeed there is no reason to believe they wouldn't have sailed down the St. Lawrence to the Lakes as that would have been an obvious path to future settlement.
Passage tombs were created to capture light
If a specific light could be captured within a vessel that vessel would take on the properties of that light
Take a Box - inside it is completely void of light
Line the inside with mirrors
Now pierce a laser through a 'trap door' and reflect it off the mirors.
Close the door - does the light stay within and bounce around - or does it stop
It was long ago, agreed among most scholars, the the word "grape" was used to refer to any & all berries, that were "grapelike" blueberries, currants, etc. So the point of line of growth of "vine grapes" is irrelevant.
And they are correct. What my colleague told you in a previous article is also correct – it is believed that they dated a piece of repair (cotton) instead of an actual piece of the Shroud (Linen). – Los Alamos Labs!
Your quite correct – though since Alan Rogers discovery that the carbon dating was incorrect the mystery continues! And will continue until the Vatican allows full scientific investigation. It is what prompted my new book “The Maltese Shroud” (Amazon.com)
Hi Emorie, Thanks for your comment. It’s a tricky one to get right but I think the author is correct in describing the situation of Shikhandi as ‘transgendered’.
Although things get even more complicated when reincarnation into different genders is involved, it seems to me that this situation talks of a woman who has has the gender change forced upon her, rather than she did not affiliate with her birth sex. The article states that Shikhandi was ‘born a female and raised as a man’. This wasn’t her choice. It was something that happened to her.
And this, from what I have recently learned, is the crucial difference, and why some transgender object to the term transgendered. It is not something that has happened to them, it is something they were born with. This is not the case described here.
As such, I believe that the use of transgendered here is the correct description, and will not cause offence. She was transgendered by those around her. She was not transgender.
If the term transgender was used here, people would expect an article involving transgender, and, like the previous commenter, would be disappointed.
So, what's the point? All cultures have used mind-altering drugs. Their use in religious rituals are universal, even among isolated peoples in Amazonia that lived a Paleolithic lifestyle well into the 20th Century. Why should the Bronze Age Semitic peoples be any different? BTW, a number of supposedly innocent staple food items -- including the sugar that is ubiquitous in our modern diets -- are found to have mind-altering properties as medical research continues to use ever-more sophisticated measurement techniques of "brain-tweaking".

Great work Dave, another good read. I’m always surprised when I reach the end of an article on AO only to see your name as the author. Thanks mate

Wanna go for fun after niagara fall tours from new york to have more fun.
According to wikipedia the carbon dating in three different tests all showed the same date and that the rag is not so old.
Your quite correct – though since Alan Rogers discovery that the carbon dating was incorrect the mystery continues! And will continue until the Vatican allows full scientific investigation. It is what prompted my new book “The Maltese Shroud” (Amazon.com)
Don't forget the Mark Twain story, 1601, which is about a fart.
How can Turkey with its recent history only be called ancient?

30 years or more and we are still talking about a piece of cloth, yawn.

Interesting, I will inform the editors so they can have a look into this. Thank you for pointing this out.
