    If Facebook deems this pornographic that is scary.

    The realism and stunning artistry of these classic sculptures never fails to move me.

    Just remember throughout history regarding the British then as today, history written by the winners who are generally the most evil, untrustworthy and violent are ALWAYS written to place them in the kindest and most benevolent light.
    British history has always lied. Lied about selling white Irish and Scottish children into slavery, lied about the size of the continents as seen on Mercator maps as compared to Peters Projection maps.

    Saw a fascinating article a couple of weeks ago stating our brains wouldn't work w/o the tiny amount (couple of atoms) of gold in our neurons. They said gold is created when Novas collide & scatter into the Universe. Guess it's the same for all animals since they all have brains/neurons, huh.

    One day they will write an article about a land bridge between Australia and NZ because we have Opossums in NZ. Have they discovered fossilized lemurs of both lands that show lenmours existed before man could sail? Just asking. After all, apes were present in jerusalem once, and how did they get there? Ships.

    I personally call BS on EVERY article that states the "age" of things beyond about 5,000 years why is very SIMPLE
    the oldest known civilization that was can reasonably infer data from was

    Sumer is the earliest known civilization in the historical region of southern Mesopotamia, modern-day southern Iraq, during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze ages, and arguably the first civilization in the world with Ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley. Living along the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates
    BC 5500-4500.

    any other evidence is on theory on top of another on top of another basing their theories on others theories.

    many things you simply cannot carbon date (which is basically are supposed best current method of "age dating") the conditions of our earth are anything but static, and even the most advance simulations/computer data hashing etc simply do NOT have all the information on things.

    Just because we THINK earth s approx say 2 billions years old, does NOT make it so, the entire galaxy could have been made in the blink of an eye via a pre designed "recipe"

    just like a pie fresh out of the oven, one could think that it was baked that afternoon (logical assumption knowing how long it would normally take) or it could have been frozen in the freezer for 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 years if this was possible, or even made instantaneously as soon as one walked into the room (if this was possible)

    The fact is, WE DO NOT KNOW, we ASSUME, based on loose scientific study of what we "claim" we know very thoroughly...rings on a tree only tell so much, the layering of strata only can tell so much, just because our modern thinking and experiments lead us to believe in one way does not make it factually correct directly or indirectly.

    much of "science" as we like to call it is loosely based on repeatable events or assumed circumstance nothing more.

    the "modern world" should stop bloody well trying to convince each other on things such as this..we were not around 6000 years ago (as best as we can tell) bones in the ground or fancy rock outcroppings mean nothing, one can stage anything they want if they know how to "stage the evidence" is it too grandiose an idea to think that all we think we know has not been staged in such a fashion.

    just our moon alone is claimed X amount of billions of years old, and yet if you dig into the "science" of it, the facts completely fall apart.

    just like most governments it is one lie on top of another to "bury" truth or to try to convince everyone about something they really know jack #$%#$% about ^.^

    I had read in some Qura'ns that He had not been crucified but left with his Mother to live in the Hindu Kush.

    Fly Agaric will most certainly connect one to the divine as it has done for many thousands of years.It must be kept in mind that partaking of this mushroom will turn your face as red as the mushroom appears amoung the pine trees of which Moses went to when up in the hills. He forbade his people to follow him. When he did finally come back he needed to cover his face with a mask otherwise his people would have sussed what it was he was up to and his street cred would be gone. Don’t believe me, read Exodus 34.29

    What about George Cayley (with his governable parachute) that demonstrated the chambered lifting wing, stabilisers, control surfaces, but then again all the best flight tech comes from Yorkshire. Aviation went wrong when the pilot went across the border to Lancashire and set up what became BAE Systems. Or Ada Lovelace, that was working on a model for powered flight.
    All these attempts are based on the account of Daedalus, Elmet the flying monk tried the same thing five hundred years before this, they will not work, a human doesn't have the muscle mass to support the wing loading (your own weight). A moor polymath did have some success around the same time in Spain, but he will have used a fixed wing, like Otto. The account for Icarus and Daedalus are probably true, anyone could build a basic glider with Minoan tech, it is very good, they had the finest spinners and weavers, to produce aero-linen (they used it for sails, as did the first planes). Reeds for aerostructures, actually good elliptical wings if you want. They even used pine resin and aero-linen to build composite hulls for their ships, aero-linen is nearly as good as glass fibre! It would appear the Chinese had something up and running, see bamboo-copter on Wikipedia.
    I don't get the connection between the ancient elements and flight. But just a passing observation, they are an excellent description for the states of matter, e..g. Earth (solid), water (liquid), air (gas), fire (plasma).

    So basically all regions are based off of some form of drug addiction that converts to sever mental health issues for the followers such as depression when the leaders of the drug cults don't get what they want and invoke passages of God's wrath.

    Hi Andreas. I totally agree with you in sentiment, but it could be argued that in destroying a loaned artifatct from another country worth 4.5 million, is beyond “minor aspects of our daily lives.”

    The most likely place to find Lemuria is in a fiction book.

    Bad situation. BUT Unless the museum is a FEDERAL entity, the FBI had no jurisdiction. Until interstate trafficking was known. We have (re)entered an era where a central government takes overall (good or bad) , Did we not fight a War against Britain over their central govt, controlling even minor aspects of our daily lives, including a forced national religion. If local governments want the Central Govt, micro-managing, then they need to dissolve all local govt & petition Federal Congress to change them to Federal holdings with NO self-rule. Or better move to some dictatorship.

  • Reply to: Five Surprising Things DNA has Revealed About our Ancestors   6 years 2 months ago

    Surprising! yes, since what is not intentional mis-informantion (pre-PC word LIE), it is bigoted personal (guilt-trip?) convoluted "speculation. We, people in real world, are tired of the fear in academia & press of using accurate words. "non-African" ???? Africa is a continent, it includes the Koi-Sans, Dutch Boers, various other Caucasians (Arabs, Jews, Tauregs etc) & of course the (at moment) larger group NEGROID. (years back when accuracy was prominent over cowardice) it was well established in anthropology that Negroes are a recent specialization, not the early norm.. Stop being afraid (of whom?) to use proper accurate terms. Dark does NOT mean BLACK, nor chocolate etc. Artist silly "ideas" are insulting, waste space(is that the purpose of them?). e.g. the pre-Kelts (correigh) in Ireland, the Samii in Lapland, were & STILL are slightly dark compared to Kelts & Vikings, but far far from that irrational & insulting picture.

    Hello to all.

    I guess we do all share the same doubts, indeed we do know nothing about our past.

    Cheers.
