I found this piece to be thoroughly interesting. I was in school during the 60's and 70's and I have to say even back then I questioned and doubted a lot of what we were taught. I've never lost my interest in history, and have been pleased to see reports of so-called "out of place objects" over the years, and as scientific equipment and technology have advanced, also seeing the dating of objects or settlements pushed further and further back. Thank you for such an interesting and thought provoking piece Dr Jeremiah.
I always enjoy reading Dr. Jeremiah;s thoughts including this one on interpreting history and myth. But I must state that I am disturbed by his use of the nomenclature CE and BCE. It is anti Western, Christophobic and cultural appropriation. Our calendar was put together by the Catholic pope Gregory and the respectful nomenclature is AD and BC. Anything else is disrespectful and an example of cultural appropriation. Please reconsider your language.
so painting white people fighting black people is fairly meaningless. looks more like people in warpaint capturing people not in warpaint, or using colors to show "team" when painitng a conflict more than that the people looked that way
the hexagon and octagon ones were not found in roman empire because visitors who brought their own specific ones from their own country of producing, took them back home when they left. But word did spread when they were first thought of, made /forged; word got around, the idea of them for those /that use(s) caught on. Like a new idea these days that grows when a large company buys someones, new idea or invention. I wonder why they are not made of iron ? or just also carved from rock, because rock would, certainly shatter ! And not made of metal--just in case one dropped it. No..
Metal is a clue for it's purpose, Longevity especially, and endless reuse(s) Perhaps used for, trades also :)
It is strange why there are tiny circles on the flat surface at each knob.. that bras one. It can be figured sensibly that each detail has a function. not looks or decor, the whole thing had a rather major use, so why not every part, aspect, have a function too, multi uses maybe.. no candle holder, no heater, not for military. for holding string, linen strands for sewing is good possibility, But really one needs to be found with it's function present, a drawing, painting, mosaic, carving.. Since there were Olympics, could it be, for shot put.?
really interesting! it really amazed me that such a young girl had such a great influence
is there any other information that you found that isn't really relevant to the article but was interesting that you could share?
If these bodies were actually not buried, but left where they lay, I'd think the killers were terrified. Some diseases leave no trace in the bones, but could have been frighteningly disfigured at the time. The killers may just have been trying to prevent sick people from escaping to infect the rest of the population. They may even have evacuated the island for a time. 7 years probably wouldn't show in the excavated record.
Lovely to hear skylarks in the video. It takes me back to my training digs, and I wonder if skylarks are particularly attracted to archaeological sites. Or if May, when they are most active is the best time to excavate in dry weather with good daylight lasting a long time.
According to Hindu Mythology, earth eons are divided into seven parts. Sat yuga was the first and the longest. At present it is Kali yuga which will end and there will be totL destruction. Then a new prophet will be born somewhere in India or Nepal area whose name is Kalki. THe world will then start with sat yuga.
Krampas is based on the Christian devil, or the other way around. being raised Catholic, which one is real and which one is a myth. interesting article none the less.
such wonderment still in our lives. very interesting... shame the Scott's have lost any past knowledge in stories handed down.
thank you for such stories.
Well, this article said a lot without saying anything really. They did DNA sequencing on the bones and never mentioned the DNA mix origin. Anyone able to enlighten me on that?
Thanks for the feedback Karl. I am familiar with the two wadis you reference. However I have seen nothing that indicates that these were actually navigable waterways and they don’t come close to reaching Cush or Pakistan. This theory also supposes that Iron Age Biblical writers were hearkening back to a prehistoric primal habitation of Neolithic people. I am proposing that they were instead referencing a Bronze Age empire of which some legend and story was known to them. My thinking is that the latter is much more likely. This is especially the case given the particular terminology I mention in the article such as gan as the word for garden which indicates a walled enclosure. If a primal habitation was being referenced the Genesis writers would have likely used a word such as midbar which is frequently used to indicate a wilderness. The name Eden itself likely refers to a steppe land or an irrigated land (as will be discussed in my next article on the subject) and neither of those connects with a Neolithic dwelling near the shore of the Persian Gulf. There are in fact many more points of connectivity between Eden and Akkad to be revealed so stay tuned.
Oh, btw, Renfrew is not in Southern Scotland, it's in Central Scotland. Always has been. It's like saying New York is in the south of the States. Not even the most basic checks done as usual.
Here we have a lot of problems as writing in stone is undateable. You cannot assign a period to anything anymore as I for example could just come along and write something in uncials in Latin or Runes ANYWHERE on Earth and then one day some guy could come along laying claim to Romans and Vikings having discovered Antartica. In fact I could myself do just that, especially were I an academic and well-known. So....
IF the author cannot actually produce this word, he is surely not entitled to write about it. When he writes the word here, we shall all know it. Knowing it women will become immune, a good idea!
Not sure how old your data is, but new satellite images have found an ancient river bed believed to be Pishon and Gihon and based on the data Eden is located below water.
Ralph Ellis' ideas are not so simply developed, so I recommend you read some of his works. You will also learn many interesting skills, like reading hieroglyphs, understanding Egyptian religion and who some apocryphal historical figures are.

yeah, right.. It, can't at all, generate heat......

Fantasy. Does this site never tire of CLICKBAIT?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
A humdrum fact(?) twisted into a piece of speculative sensationalism.
What's the word I'm groping for? Ah yes - CLICKBAIT.
