  • Reply to: Pyramids are not tombs, but homes for gods.   7 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: Roberto Peron

    Power plants, tombs, observatories, beacons for alien starships etc, etc.  Fact is we don’t really know what the pyramids were/are!  And, typically, when we don’t know what something ancient was used for we classify it as religious or for burial LOL.

    Good article and very interesting.  Question is how far from the East did the ancestors come?  I know it is no longer “acceptable” but the stone heads and depictions of the Olmec still look like Africans or Polynesians to me an not Mayan at all.  And how did these ancient Mayan ancestors know about black skinned people unless they’d seen them or encountered them.  We like to pretend everything is all figured out but, in fact, I think we have very little figured out at all.

    Here  is the Quote:"Some old men of Yucatan say that they have heard from their ancestors that this country was peopled by a certain race who came from the East, whom God delivered by opening for them twelve roads through the sea."

    Truth be told, even the Jews believed in reincarnation. See they always believed that if somebody came in the spirit of another then they in essence came in the Spirit of that other person; in truth a reincarnated person. As far as christianity, though I do believe in a Creator of sorts, what I really believe in is truth. For me there are truly some universal truths, like the big bang, or the first cause. Lets face it, no matter what we want to believe the truth is; one thing is for certain, we came frrom the same source, and hopefully there is some kind of divine Intelligence behind it. Or are we without purpose.

    This article states "The Popol Vuh refers to their ancestors coming from the East," but doesn't doesn't provide the quote to show it. Or am I just missing something?

    According to the Bible, the sin of the serpent was telling Eve the truth after the god had lied to Adam. That dovetails nicely with the association of snakes with wisdom in virtually every religion/mythology except the judeo-christian one.

  • Reply to: The human skull that challenges the Out of Africa theory   7 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: Sean Murphy

    I haven't researched Poulianos work, so I won't comment on that part. Your pronouncement of the lineage of the skull is problematic for several reasons. One, the current theoretical structure suggests Neanderthals evolved in Africa and adapted in minor ways to the cold of Ice Age Europe.
    Hmm, strike that - Neanderthals originating in Africa says nothing about how far their ancestors might have migrated.
    One problem remains - if the skull is an ancestor of Neanderthal, then it is also an ancestor of us, since we were born out of the mingling of Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis and Homo Sapiens Sapiens of the time, leading to a stronger and more robust Homo Sapiens Sapiens. The genetic evidence is no longer disputable. Our more robust ancestors then spread out and conquered every continent. Regardless of which migration model you prefer, and regardless of which interpretation you favor, the skull is from an ancestor species.
    I really don't get why people get so worked up about this stuff. Even if the skull is 700,000 years old, that just shows how amazing even our earlier ancestors were, migrating out from Africa and adapting to European environment just as later species did. Our origins don't say anything about how great we are, only how great those who came before us were. If you are going to tout "White Superiority" you should focus on Lactose Tolerance - the freakish ability to drink milk as an adult without becoming sick - that is the sum total of European genetic superiority after all!

  • Reply to: The Origins of Human Beings According to Ancient Sumerian Texts   7 years 4 months ago
    Comment Author: Sean Murphy

    The plural references in older editions of the Bible and the Torah are easily explained, although those who wish to take the books literally get very upset at the explanation. Judeo-Christian mythology is derived from older polytheistic mythology, and the scenes with the God talking to the other gods are just a leftover (that has been removed from more recent editions). YHVH is simply discussing his creation of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden with the other gods who each have their own followers. Older editions also explicitly tell of YHVH lying to Adam and saying that the fruit of the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as well as the nearby Tree of Life were poison and would kill him the "very day" that he ate either.
    Interestingly, in those older editions the serpent's sin was to tell Eve the truth, in the exact same wording YHVH had used when discussing with the other gods earlier. After Adam and Eve eat "the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" and become "like unto gods" the reason YHVH kicks them out of Eden isn't as punishment, but because he is afraid that they will eat the fruit of the Tree of Life and "become immortal and be gods". (Sounds similar to the Ambrosia that the greek gods ate that would make mortals immortal...)

    Anyone know where her tomb is ? How did she have a bath being in a prison ? on an island too !
    Interested, curious. I bet if they just let her rule, she would have been a good queen, far as getting her way, is what can make a good ruler for her people, and i feel she wanted to serve them, not so rule selfishly.

    Speaking of Snow and Stonehenge...

    Glacier, it's not a question of How were the Stones moved,
    it's a question of How many Stones were moved at a time.

    No, the Nazareth area has been settled for at least 9,000 years according to the archaeological record. During Jesus’ life it likely had a population of between 400 and 500 people, hardly worthy of much surviving historical note other that of the contemporary historical records of Luke and Matthew. As far as the similarly sounding sect of Nazarenes, the brilliant translators didn’t confuse the two at all – John the Baptizer might well have been a member of the sect but Jesus certainly wasn’t.

    I would have to agree with Osirus concerning the issue of Palestine. It has been a political machination which has hurt far too many people. Palestinians are Hebrews and Arabs are a Semitic people.The Khazars were converts and are no relation to the original Jews of the Bible.As for the Zionists agenda, it speaks for itself, and the reality is not connected to any spiritual link to the Bible.I am sorry if this offends those that want to believe the false history that has been accepted as truth.Hopefully, through sites like this, we can discuss issues of great concern and importance based on facts, not propaganda. I met a man just tonight at the health club and we started a conversation.I am the inquisitive type and I am like a sponge looking to soak up the water of Truth. He said he was a Hebrew, and he is Palestinian. I, of course, wanted to hear as much of his thoughts as he was willing to share.He just confirmed that my research was correct, and he was quite peaceful in his outlook considering the reality of the situation. We must be able to seek the truth, and be willing to discuss this issue since much is at stake.why waste human, financial and other resources on wars not based on the facts. We need to be wise and to stop letting those who have ulterior motives to create needless conflict. I have attempted to be as polite as possible while sharing not only what I have learned, but what those who have been there are willing to say. The one piece of information I have no citation for is the name Osirus mentioned for Netanyahu. If you read this please share the source to assist me in my research. I really like to have my citations mentally available for my discussions and debates.

    Actually there was a historical Kingdom of Israel, the Northern Kingdom, which either split from a united kingdom (2 Chronicles 15) or developed separately as some scholars now think. It existed from roughly 930 BCE until 720 BCE, when it was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire and most of its population relocated and assimilated. The so-called “ten lost tribes” came from that Israel.

    Ironically, modern day “Israel” is situated where the other nation, the Kingdom of Judah, was located.  Judah was mostly exterminated in 70 CE by the Romans but a few Jews apparently survived including those who were living abroad. But yes, the “Jews” occupying Palestine today are descendants of Caucasian Khazarian converts and have no historical ties to the Levant. Simply, they are warmongering counterfeits.

    In all fairness to the  ‘6 million’ (there’s that magical number again) jews in the land formerly known as Palestine.The majority of them are transplants from north/northeastern Europe. They are Ashkenazi/Khazar jews with no historical or genetic linkage to the original middle eastern Hebrews. Their ancestors converted in the 7th and 8th century. It is only a ‘belief’ that connects them. Incidently Netanyahu’s real name is Miliekovsky. He’s of Lithuanian descent (slavic) not semitic.  Prior to 1947 there was no “israel” it was known as Judea or Palestine. In fact, historically there never was a ‘place’ called Israel. Only and ever a tribe. Kind of like the Native Americans stealing a state and calling it Cheerokee or Hopi and claiming the Great Spirit in their ancient legends told them it is theirs..
