  • Reply to: Archaeologist Claims that King Arthur Was Not a Real Person But a Fictional “Celtic Superhero”   6 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Cousin_Jack

    For a tale that was set in Cornwall, people make a good job of erasing Cornwall out of the picture. And thats not to say there wasn’t a Cornish miracle play based on an Arthur written at Glasney College. And what about Lyonesse and Tristan and Iseult? Not to mention what they did in the numerous plen-an-gwary lying around Cornwall.

    The Navajo were clan breeders by tradition. during the eventual internment and the "long walk" to Ft. Sumner their population bottlenecked. as a result of this bottleneck and their tradition of clan marriage they have been cursed with a genetic anomaly known as xeraderma pigmentosa. it normally affects about 1 in a million, but with the Navajo it affects about 1 in 250. today becuase of this clan marriage is not recommended by genetecists studying this xp.

    while ancient people didn't understand the mechanics of genetics, during population bottlenecks, climate change and other natural disasters, they did learn that inbreeding may produce offspring with 3 heads sharing a single eyeball. of course i exaggerate but our ancestors did know how to figure stuff out, they were not stupid

    Aside from what others are talking about I'd defy anyone to climb the head and not need a hand up from someone already up there. That's all the old sketch shows. However, the hatch could be real or it could be photo shopped. All we need as proof is drone footage over the Sphinx. Anyone able to provide proof other than one old photo that the hatch actually exists on the sphinx's back?

    So you agree it's a simple case of Pareidolia?
    Because it's nothing more than that.
    12k years old? Based on what? There is no way the stone could have been dated, as we currently have no technology to do so.
    According to the article the researchers still have to find any other form of artifact to actually be a form evidence to prove the 12k claim.

    AND a lot of hoax finds come from that large area (Russia, Ukraine, etc) and my guess is that this is such a 'find'.
    "Look! Some weird looking rocks! Let's call them an Eagle and a Dragon and say they are man-made!"
    Just for 5min of fame. Sorry.. 'fame'.

    And if you look closely, and imagine a bit, you can see that these pics are altered, and you're just looking at a re-colored picture of clouds in funny shapes.

    Found in 2013 and 4 (!!) years later they decide to bring the info?
    Right.

    I call total BS.

    Wasn't it also one of the desert tribes in the Four Corners [Navajo maybe?] that you could marry outside of clan [like Bear could marry anybody but Bear clan] so it was fairly exogamous?

  • Reply to: Paradigm Shift Required? 3-Fingered Mummified Humanoid Found in Peru May Change the Story of Human Origins   6 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Veronica-Mae Soar

    General comment. As humans were developing would there not have been some 'side species' which never went anywhere and died out ? And surely also some abnormalities would have occurred just as they do today. Just a thought

    That is what adventure is all about. The unknown, the excitement and of course, the element of risk. Of course I would open the door to the inner chamber, but not without a strong dose of a life saving emotion...fear!

    For now, I am going to need to reserve judgement of this seemingly game changing find until I see a bit more scientific evidence. Once the DNA sequencing is completed, along with more in depth scans, we may have a conclusive result. Is it fact,of is it fake? Time and more study may just reveal the truth.

    Eskimo tribes when early explorers first encountered them would invite them to sleep with their women and consider it an insult if they refused. I always felt it was their way of taking advantage of any available new gene pool.

    Does anyone know of any archeological excavations at these sites? Would be very interesting to see what , if anything was found.

  • Reply to: Atlantis Revealed: Plato's Cautionary Tale Was Based On A Real Setting   6 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Bruce N

    you are correct in many aspects. the Mid-Atlantic ridge would have been exposed in the same time frame as this and the Bering Land Bridge. the Aztec lost city story is very similar to the Atlantis one (pronounce Atlantis like they would've during Plato's time)

  • Reply to: Raining Cats and Dogs? No, Just Fish   6 years 7 months ago

    The updraft at the center of a hurricane, especially a powerful one, would be more than enough to draw small creatures and inanimate objects up into the eye, and deposit them possibly hundreds of miles from where they originated. Rocks, however are a different story entirely due to their mass.

    Living, as I do, within several kilometers of an active volcano, I am familiar with tiny particles of volcanic glass which rain down on the area during certain types of volcanic emissions. Larger rocks are ejected during times of increased activity, but normally travel no further than several hundred meters from the caldera.

    maybe look at a 3 d image of the lines see which ones are a metre which ones are 2 metres 3 metres in width etc.and see what image it makes. lines 1 metre may be further away from lines that are 3 metre s wide. could do the same with Nazca lines creating a hologram picture of something

  • Reply to: Marcahuasi: Vestiges of a Forgotten Global Civilization, or Just Weird Rocks in Peru?   6 years 7 months ago
    Comment Author: Dave Miller

    Marcahuasi was one of the first places I looked at in researching “The Sibold Effect.” I saw a huge similarity between the combination of supernatural activity and creative anthropomorphic rock sculptures and “The Lost Tribe of Clover Hollow” It’s a prime example of  the spirit/nature  relationship.

    Comment Author: nicaresearcher

    For years, I have been a huge supporter of the theories of ancient advanced civilizations on our planet, and I firmly believe that they did exist. But really, I simply do not see the the weathered rocks at Marcahuasi being anything more than the simple effects of time and the elements. In this case, it seems that the old companion of the human mind, Pareidolia is at work, and that the figures in the rocks are nothing more than a misinterpretation by the mind of the viewer.

    Do not publish such unhistorical accounts put forward by the leftist and maoist of India. If you do, your credibility will be at stake.

    I have folowed this mans career for many years, and frankly, I must agree with the previous comments. In all of the time that I have seen his statements, comments and interviews, I have developed a very strong distaste for this man, and his attitude. He has been proven time after time to be a fraud, a liar, and a sexist, as well as, in all probability, a criminal who has stolen and sold priceless antiquities.

    He is not only a detriment to the field of Egyptian Archeology, but to the entire field of Archaeology itself. It is a well known fact that if you, as an archaelogist, disagree with him, he can, and will have your passport revoked. Yes, he is a thug, and an arrogant one at that, and in my opinion, should be brought to trial, just as any other common criminal would be, stripped of his academic credentials, and given whatever punishment the the Egyptian system of justice deems appropriate.

    I'm not much of one for conspiracy theories, but over the years I've been puzzled as to why Mr Hawass actively obstructs or prevents the research of others, and why the powers that be in Egypt haven't put him out to pasture.
