Thanks for an interesting article. Here's a few points of feedback for you:
You might be confusing the route of the Ridgeway with the Michael Line first proposed by John Mitchell in the late 1960’s. The Greater Ridgeway actually goes from Lyme Regis in the west, keeping to the driest and highest ground, not via Glastonbury. It avoids the Somerset Levels as lowland places liable to flood. In the east, it goes as far as present-day Norfolk, and may have even have extended into Doggerland, when that was still above water.
The purpose of Silbury might not be a mystery at all, there's of evidence it was an astronomical observatory, deliberate built at the same time as Merlin's Mound in Marlborough, along the line of the equinox.
Carbon dating has shown that the mounds pre-date the bodies found there by hundreds or thousands of years. So they are unlikely to have been built as tombs.
It also perpetuates a myth to talk about "hill forts". These hill-top enclosures were far too big to have been effective military sites. The more mundane and peaceful fact is that these were used as places of rest and overnight safety for Ridgeway travellers with their animals and trade goods for thousands of years. Only on rare occasions in all those years were there ever any military events, like pitched battles between local Brits and mercenary Saxons. A mere blink of an eye in the life of the Ridgeway.
Like pendulum, the board works by extern intervention and one of this are the muscular nerves of two diferent arms. Of course that the pointer doesnt move by itself but these scientist cannot prove these things with primitive mens and sceptical minds.
This site was interesting once, but now im reading just uninteresting references from other sites. And the title was stupid with no relation to the text.
I remember seeing a documentary about the Patterson film where and anthropologist (I think) said that the creature in the film didn’t walk like a human in an ape suit. Something about the way the creature turned its entire body when it looked behind itself instead of turning just the neck as a human would. Sorry I can’t remember more, or the name of the documentary; it's been several years since I saw it
Hi Tom - I like your time and place theory as the message the mound builders were attempting to construct. The serpent mound in Adams county Ohio has 3 coils in its tail and 7 direction changes in its body with its head holding the moon in its mouth and pointing to the north west. I find this as an ancient recording of a voyage using lunar navigation. It is very similar to the other 38 recordings that have only one point on earth that is common to all. This location is in the Atlantic at the 26.4 latitude north and the 65 degree longitude west. The 3 coils in the serpents tail represents 3 lunar months at sea before land fall. The 7 direction changes represent the 7 lunar months it took to go on land from the coast to Adams county Ohio. The head with the moon represents the direction and method of time. The people that built the Serpent Mound spent 10 lunar months traveling from their home.

They are assumptions from you. What if they are not the case?
This is a great problem with all racial ideologies. They are based on assumptions and dogma. They are ideologies separate from facts and a willingness to learn. Whether it involves white supremacy, black supremacy or any other kind, racial ideology is a dogmatic belief. White supremacy and black supremacy are just different examples of the same thing.
Another problem with all racial ideologies is that they involve a fanatical belief in practising double standards. While accusing white people of racism, you have done the same thing in your comments. White racists have the same double standard.
One thing that is glaringly obvious. Sirens, mermaids and silkies are adult. If they were always babies who didn't survive long, there wouldn't be stories of adults. Admittedly there are dugongs, and stories of half seal half human but they aren't terribly pretty from the human point of view. Dolphins are possibly the best candidates since they are also intelligent and their behaviour fits some of the stories. They save humans from drowning. They are very very friendly to people who swim with them. Have any creatures been found that might show a combined heritage?
Not all were Nubian. The fact is, the facial reconstruction fits what many North African people look like. There is great variety among modern humans, including people from Africa.
Incredible story.
And I say: who cares whether Greece falls into populism or nationalism just because the Tomb of Alexander is discovered? How aberrant is that? Its ridiculous beyond belief.
But I doubt that it is the tomb of Alexander.
History clearly tells that all famous ancient visitors of Alexander's tomb were in ALEXANDRIA! They never went to visit that hell whole in the confines of the Sahara desert.
Had the pleasure of visiting Thornborough last week. Wasn't aware of the existence of the furans until now. I reside in Lytham & nearby is St Annes on Sea. The main street is St Annes Road West, known locally as the 'Square'. At the western end of which is St Annes Pier. A semi derelict Edwardian pier. The interesting phenomenon of the Square is that on the winter solstice the sun sets directly over the pier.
Using Google earth I once drew a line from St Annes Road West to Whitby Abbey on the North East coast of England - the line passed over the central henge at Thornborough. Imagine my more recent surprise to find that this alignment coincides with the Cursus!
I was happy to see a representation of the two mega lakes discussed in the article. However, they are superimposed on a modern representation of Africa. I'd like to see them in their context as they would have listed. I believe the Sahara would have been at least somewhat different in scale.
I agree almost totally with Clyde Winters eloquent and accurate comments. I would add that one look at a 19th century photograph of a N. American Indian will show clearly defined sharply angled, European features. 'We' were there 1000s of years before he Asiatic’s could negotiate a northern passage blockaded by mile high glaciers! Nonetheless most of what is now the USA was largely ice free quite early on. European and Africans had relatively easy access via land bridges that were submerge some 9,000 or 10,000 years ago. Whilst the existence of such land bridges is contested by, frankly wildly out of kilter geologists, the proven presence of modern man living in S. America and Central America, and Australia many thousands of years ago, cannot be otherwise explained. In considering these essentially fantastic exploration/immigrations, we need to take account of the realities these adventures faced. The first and most demanding impediment was that whole families had to be so engaged. Sending small party, plus supplies, a favoured plan in more modern history, was not a practical idea when shanks pony was the only likely mode of transport, even with some animal carrying supplies and providing a mobile foodstore. Even mounted – perhaps on carts - progress was inevitably painfully slow. Scouting parties would be limited to only a few days for similar reasons. The way ahead was unknown territory, certainly no other humans – these courageous people were pioneers! Quite soon it would have become necessary to call a halt, foster a new community and expand it until a further such advance became practicable. This would take at least a hundred years and probably a great deal longer. Circumstances control events. But whatever their problems, they eventually succeeded!
I have always loved how so many of the tablets aren't epics, religious stuff or anything more fancy than business minutia =) I especially love the one complaining about a substandard shipment of copper - same shit, different eon =)
Morning William, So they were all about time and balance. Earth’s location in space. Perhaps about a time when we are closer to the sun and our polar ice caps melt just as they are doing today.
I believe the ancient mound builders were trying to show us where East used to be. If you draw a line through the earthworks (51.8 degrees from North today) and then draw a line at a 90 degree through the center of the complex, it would show you where the North pole use to be. If you know where North use to be you can compare it to Hapgood’s ( Path of the Pole, forward by Albert Einstein) pole locations over the last 100,000 years and it will give you a date on the complex.
My friends have told me that the earth will shake like a dog getting out of the water when the two twins (ice caps) leave their post. This might be one of the reasons for the complex. Just my thoughts and thank you for the information.
And one would wonder where these ancient Egyptians ever got these ideas and sets of religious dogmas from? Who was it that actually gave them these long, complicated ordeals that only the well prepared might makes it to paradise? Do we not have the same thing being preached by religions today? Mysticism and religious hokum-pokum have plagued mankind from the beginning. And we're still trying to please some living god or great invisible super spook in the aether! Mankind is NUTS!!!
I'm pretty sure that the Mediterranean Sea didn't exist 7 million years ago. I think it was a dry basin and that the Straits of Gibralter were plugged. I think part of this plug collapsed about 6 million years ago and the 'Atlantic' flowed in filling the basin over a hundred year period. (Which is why dwarf hippos were found on Crete when humans first arrived - can't remember when - about five thousand years ago.) This would mean that Africa and Europe were joined and both animals and hominids could move freely. "Africa' and 'Europe' did not exist as seperate land masses. To be imputing racial significance to 7 million year old hominids is pretty bloody stupid.
We now know of five human types still alive in the last 100.000 years. Aboriginal and New Guinean DNA suggests that maybe 10 additional different types of yet unidentified human lines existed, all of which must have seperated less than a million years ago or they would be completely different species and we would have no genetic trace of them. Probably they were very close to us. The jawbone in this article is over 7 million years old. How many different hominids may have existed at this time? Could be dozens - just look at the monkey family? Why would you assume that this hominid even contributed to the genetic line of homo sapiens sapiens?
All that's happened is that a hominid jawbone has been found in Europe. Several have also been found in Asia. All we can safely know is that the human story will be more complex, suprising and exciting than anything we can imagine. As THINGS STAND we all came from Africa but if it turns out that 7 million years ago a hominid, who contributed some genes to us, stood of a rock that would later be called Malta and said to his mates 'South looks good' what's this got to do with race?
Here you can navigate quickly through all comments made in any article sorted by date/time.

Indeed, people should find out who gives financial and other support to Isil/Daesh and other groups like them.

Furans, should read Cursus!
Many thanks for writing this informative article.

I understand what you desire but, we can only use material created by the experts.

Interesting in general, although the author provides no clear reasons for his theories about the electrical functions of quartz.
Re: "brilliant in contrast to the fauna of the area"
I believe the author meant "flora" rather than "fauna." Used in two places.
Re.: "an 8-by-5-foot square granite slab"
An 8-by-5-foot granite slab is a rectangle, not a square.
