    Yes Malisa is absolutely correct. Many giants both male and female were found during excavations of the "indian" mounds by the early settlers in USA. The Smithsonian were quick to hide the evidence because they couldn't accept them. Typical disbelieving "scientists"!!!

    On the first DAY of the first month, when Moshe looked up in the sky, what did he see? He saw the sun and the noon up at the same time and the moon was full. The dark and crescent moon phases are incorrect. Also check out the bore waves, they come twice a year at the full moon. Once at Passover and once at Yom Turah.

    I thought it was already proven that the symbols were 'overwritten' in ancient times. Some parts were filled with some sort of plaster and then redone. Bits of the plaster have fallen off though and have resulted in these 'mysterious' symbols.

    They also said iron tools were found as well, well anyone who knows history knows that this is totally wrong for the time period they are claiming.

    They say iron tools were found at this site, sorry but this was before even the Bronze Age which means their dating is way off or someone is making false claims here, the Egyptians went from the stone age directly in the Bronze age somewhere between 3000 to 2500 BCE so how can iron even be found 2000+ years before this?

    a lunar calendar follows the moon phases, hence about 28 days not the number they claim. if it did, it would be as inaccurate as our calendar today is in regards to the moon phases anyway. in any event the calendar , current or otherwise is completely inaccurate. we add a day every 4 years BUT it actually takes 365.256 days for the earth to revolve around the sun. thus every 1000 years is off by 6 days meaning as of right now our calendar is off by about 12 days

    I think an unbiased reading of the sources shows Greek civilization is, to a large part, a transplant from Egypt. Those sources say that the founding of Athens, the establishment of the Dodona oracle, the knowledge of Pythagoras, many of their Gods, et al - all have their source in Egypt.
    There seems to be a curious case of tunnel vision at work there.

    Bobby E I too am fascinated by Ogham writing. If you look up Jankovich Cave, Tatarlaska Disk , Moros River disks and finally have a look at Vinca Writing/Script, you may see some similarities to the basic ogham script.
    Following up on Davids article above, my thoughts are that the Pontic peoples who emigrated to Ireland had the original Pontic script that never developed past the Ogham stage, due to an Oral culture taking precedence ie the Druids. Vinca eventually morphed into Sumerian is a possible theory, but when I have seen Ogham in situ it is incredible to think that it is a language at all!!
    Cheers Bobby!!

    I am a little confused as why Seti is dominant in Abydos as most archeologists know that Abydos is dominant for Orsis. Ramessess II worshiped Orisis. In fact he brought Orisis back a main figure during his Reign. So why is Seti relevant to Abydos?

    those futuristic carvings are fakes of course. found there but it can easily, obviously said the egyptians had No possible way to imagine these, shapes.. And there is No further evidence to help confirm them as some, pharaohs dream. SO how do conspiracy theorists obtain such control, ? to have sites like this show pics like that ? Pathetic.. I say, shame on this site, for allowing crap like that to be shown. They will not find anything at all, to confirm these carvings are real. Never !

    All those people, are buried somewhere though. that is what they need to find. And there would have to be a King..? Nobles perhaps, priests maybe, all are somewhere, close by.. Ground penetrating radar could find them unless buried too deep, but i wager they could be inside or yes, under those smaller pyramids, maybe the radar won't go deep enough for that and, with those being held sacred, they won't be disturbed, So perhaps a tech more advanced than 2016 would have to be developed for that purpose, and could then be used all over the planet..So much history, is buried, just waiting ! :)

    Don't know, but the ChInese used massive 'dragon' kilns to make job lots of bricks and ceramics, so they may have been able to fire several human sized statues in place of a pallet of bricks. Given many segments of the Great Wall use fired clay bricks, they did do mass production at the time in question. If you look at Japanese Raku ware, the fire is built around the ceramics rather than in a formal kiln, at many times and places charcoal was made by stacking wood and plastering over it with clay rather than in formal kilns, so I really don't see a need for an actual kiln, just serious amounts of wood and crap [not suitable for finer work] clay to encase the statue and wood.

    ETA. Because of a diet similar to ours some ape species could have been wiped out by early humans.

    I would think there were various sub-species of ancient human in the same way there are sub-species of most if not all other species. Some human sub-species may have perished because they were too small a population to survive but I think most will have been wiped out by our earlier ancestors. I'm convinced Neanderthals were wiped out by Cro-Magnon.

    One anthropologist said it seems unlikely so many ancient skulls said to be human ancestors can all be human ancestors, or likely others would still be with us (too widespread for ancient genocide). Many are probably ancestors of extinct upright apes. We can only have a few ancestral lines, not so many.

    It's known the Qin armourers developed swords with an anti corrosive measure undiscovered until quite recently in the West. Not to mention the absolute precision in which these weapons were constructed.

    Why wasn't this knowledge shared? If the Greeks had indeed made any sort of correspondence with the First Emperor they would have quickly seen this was a man who would pretty much do ANYTHING to get what he wanted (look up his quest for Immortality for example!). Trade and business usually go BOTH ways.

    The Terracottas were painted with compounds apparently UNKNOWN to Western artists at the time. And let's be honest, considering the Qin made those beautifully crafted and advanced weapons with casts as well as the beautful bronze birds found in the excavations, is it really that difficult to comprehend the Qin deciding to employ a similar technique to craft the Terracottas.

    Sorry BBC, not buying a second of it. The QIn were obviously a VERY advanced people.

    For centuries and due to Alexander the Great's conquests Hellenic Thought and Art became known to people further east of Persia. Thus the Hellenic influence in formulating Buddhism cannot be denied and it is not a "British colonial" trick. From very early times Europeans would travel and settle deep into Asia-the mummies of Taklamakan desert in Xinjiang ( north of Tibet) being an unquestionable proof. (on the contrary there are no recorded opposite movements that is why "Indo-Europeans" are a fiction-even the Indians mention an "Aryan" invasion west from the sea...) It is from Chinese sources that we know of their earliest contacts with the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Bactria at their eastern borders and I am sure Ms Li Xiuzhen is aware of them.The Kingdom of Greco-Bactria with its "one thousand glorious cities-Strabo" (!) that had become independent by the middle of the 3rd century originally based in today's Afghanistan, would expand to include parts of Pakistan and its important for trade coastline plus north India and was to lasted in various forms till the 2nd century AD.( Nomadic invaders finally destroyed the watering canals of the kingdom and the winds did the rest-there is nothing left standing up anymore! ) In order for Alexander to cross further east from Afghanistan he had to get married there himself and all his army and live peacefully for over a year before continuing. Nobody has ever subdued the proud inhabitants of these lands including Alexander-war stopped only because they became relatives!
    Chinese expeditions were able to collect enough impressive information to convince their First Emperor
    that official relations should be established with the neighbors as they were many things to learn from them. Thus the Chinese made a pact in order to send scholars to learn Greek and be able to translate their texts kept in libraries about arts and sciences, machinery,construction etc. They offered in return the monopoly of silk cloth, bamboo canes and stainless alloys (merchandise previously bought by the Bactrians at Indian bazaars.( The First Emperor's main burial chamber is protected still by a stainless booby trapped system ) The Greeks were more than happy to agree and they would reload the Chinese goods at "Pakistani" ports and ship them to Ptolemeus's Egypt ( land routes wee blocked by Seleucid Syrians). Never before this period of GrecoBactrian- Chinese relations, and never afterwards human sized statues appear in Chinese art. Needless to say, in order to make in a kiln human sized clay statues of the Imperial Guards-something you have never done before in China-you would indeed need the help of "advisers", right? The Chinese also provide us with a few intriguing details about those GrecoBactrians; about their magnificently zoned villas in their cities, temples and theaters, that they were not afraid of any enemies, owned thousands of beautiful horses- their favorite sport being galloping archery shooting on set targets ; that they were annoying bargain hunters and when finally an agreement was reached there could be no final deal...unless their wives also agreed! The Chinese had already asked about the distant origins of their neighbors and they had explained they came from "ΣΕΛΛΑΣ-SELLAS" ( today ΕΛΛΑΣ-HELLAS) the "Country of Light" (360 days sunshine at least). Since then the Chinese call Greece " Xi-La" (pronounced Si-La) with the ideograms meaning also 'Candlelight of Hope"...And following their advise their expeditions eventually reached the coastline of Syria...

    Of many people that lived in "Palestine", Jews were also guests. The clan of Abraham originating from
    Ur in Mesopotamia were welcomed to stay with their malnutritioned herd. Their gratitude to their hosts was formulated into their basic doctrine that they were "God's people of choise" and that the land of their hosts belonged to them-the guests! Regardless of the initial inhabitants of these lands, settlers from Crete, Achaia and Cyprus were the well established rulers. The Khazars were people of mixed Central Asian origin that adopted the Jewish religion by choise. Their partly mongolic roots have given to many right wing extremists the erroneous argument that all Jews have such roots-they do not! Hebrew people were guest city dwellers to the ancient Greeks already in classic antiquity ( Evreos in Greek comes from Gefyreos-the "Bridge Crosser" ) clearly indicating people crossing over from the island scattered sea eastwards. Dionyssus' theater at the foott of Acropolis still has the marble seat of honor-first row-for their religious leader. While all inhabitants of coastal Syria ( there was no "Palestine" then were free to practice their own religion, by the time of Alexander the Great and afterwards most all of them worshiped Greek, Egyptian and Anatolian deities communicating with each other in Greek but not the Jews there. Eventually they revolted in a macabre way when later were forced to abandon their distinct worldview and way of life and thus ended up being expelled to the four corners of the Roman empire (also Hellenized by then). The rest of the Syrians will eventually become Christians albeit mostly of heretic and not Orthodox "main stream" versions and having close contact with Arabs they
    could communicate in both Greek and Arabic. When the Muslim Arabs brake their isolation and by war conquer Syria from the Eastern Roman Empire ,those double language speakers will become the precious translators for every Kaliph from Damascus to Bagdad and Kairo so that the then illiterate and uncivilized arab muslim worriors could learn about the priceless Hellenic Knowledge. Afterwards many local Syrians convert to Islam and many muslim arabs settle there. Many Jews had already returned but the ratio was clear: Muslims first (arabs and non arabs ),Christians second, Jews third. "Palestine" is indeed a rather modern word for part of the area as well as "Lebanon" reflecting colonial interests of the Turks, the English , the French, etc. Finally, before and after World War II a planned and concerted effort redirects and settles selected Jews from Europe to Palestine thus establishing the modern state of Israel that continues old Abrahamic policy : the land is ours given to us by God and whoever disagrees better get out! History has a tragic way of repeating itself and by closing I could only repeat the old advice : "Sword you used, sword will be used against you"! Nevertheless, your article about the Druze people does offer new and intriguing data about their origins and travels.The Syrian coast and its adjacent lands do witness a continuous movement of human settlers as eventually it became the largest olive and olive oil producer in the eastern Mediterranean-a precious commodity used as lamp oil , in order to make medicines and as food for Kings , Emperors and their Courts of the times...Druze people originating from mountainous areas chose again to settle up on the mountains-there is always a very basic ethnological divider-sea people and not.
