For years I have peeved people off because whenever *they* point at some Mayan temple or other nonChristian artifact and go on and on and on about 'why would do their Gods aren't real' I point out that they were vesting the same resources into their gods that our Eurocentric culture did towards our god ... and if we didn't see hundreds of years building some pile of rocks and statues as a waste, why would they have considered their heaps of rocks and statues a waste. Both are equally valid expressions of faith [for lack of a better word, IMHO] and humans are the same world over, so pretty much anything can randomly be discovered anywhere - there were astrologers looking into the sky everywhere, people building everywhere [and there are only so many ways to pile crap up and have it stay in place that it is no wonder the pyramid shape is found everywhere.] and they are now discovering that trade moved items all over the place from their points of origin that I would not be surprised if some time tehy dug up a tomb in China and *did* find some Greek - either a trader, or soldier or even a woman that was hauled all the way East to get married to cement a trade agreement.
I think there is an unintended typo in the article - I have never heard of snakes being symbols of mortality, but rather symbols of Immortality, due to their shedding of their skin and seeming renewal/youthening.
(If you have ever seen a snake before and after it sheds its skin, it really does look like it went from crone to maid!)
Axel.... It is sad that your comment shows your lack of knowledge.......Christianity is not a form of begging your maker. but caring loving helping our brothers , giving thanks s and being grateful the son of God was sent into the world to rescue sinners.. Have you ever thought to study it? simple enough for a child to understand it is all in the teachings of Jesus Christ...

Am I the only one who has always been annoyed by marvel comics getting the hair colors wrong on the only two Norse deities where their hair color is specified in the surviving myths? They depicted Thor (described as having red hair and a curly red beard that emitted sparks when he got angry) as a clean-shaven blonde, and golden-haired Sif as having black hair!
It doesn't bother me today as much as it did 40+ years ago when I was not yet ten, but it still annoys...
How odd that there was no mention of the toy company that invented the Ouija board under a different name as a party game, but changed the name to Ouija and added the claim that you could communicate with spirits to get it to sell better...

I'm sorry. There are no such things as faeries. Megaliths are built in visually arresting and viewable areas not on "electro-magnetic alignments". Ringforts, including Cashels, are not megaliths. Megaliths, as the name implies are structures made from Large stones or boulders such as standing stones. stone alignments or stone rings. To address some errors in the article itself - there are 45000 known ringforts in Ireland alone, not Northern Europe, with many more forgotten as they have been ploughed under. Most ringforts are within view of others, in clusters, presumably for mutual support. Univallate ringforst (single circle) are lowest on the hierarchy. Bivallate and multivallate ringforts are seen as royal or important. Large ringforts which are univallate are not seen as more important - importance is denoted by number of rings the exception being cashels. But, yeah, deons, devls, fairys - far more believable than farmers and cattle.
Unless they've been enhanced during a conservation process (which would be unacceptable as verification in most archaeological colleges) the carvings on the stones shown in the top couple of images appear to be remarkably fresh for a site that is claimed to have been in use at the time of the Roman Empire's demise.
The authenticity of this site, bearing in mind that there have been hoaxes perpetrated in this part of the world before, should remain questionable until independent dating of stone relics can be carried out. There's a method available, that uses zircon counting I believe...?
Palestine and Palestinians are known since ancient history. The Ashkenazi people who were brought to Palestine by the British army during their occupation of Palestine are not related to Palestine and are not the descendants of Moses or Abraham. The origins of Ashkenazi people are the Khazarian Empire. (See the book of Arthur Koestler “The Thirteenth Tribe”). Israel is the biggest hoax in history.
Regardless of left or right brain with enough work with tools.. It would be very easy for Paleolithic peoples to have carved stone.. Because they used so many natural materials it is hard to track but make no mistake they were very right brained.
I, too, can see these as dwellings.
These structures also could have been used for storage, hence the "corks". Like squirrels, I'm sure they had to store up for the harsh winters.
If the 9th century BC datation is correct, it can hardly be roman ! A more believable origin would be phoenician, who were already great navigators at that time.
They were also doing terracotta artefacts for religious purposes, including some of bearded men quite similar to that one !
Anyway, that wouldn't even prove that there has been any direct contact between precolombian people and phoenicians, the artefact could very well have been lost at sea in a shipwreck and then transported to Mexico by sea current.
I so enjoyed the article and comments on Tintagel, Arthur, and the history of early England. I am an 81 year old English major who never tires of reading these kinds of theories. Thanks
Yes fairies are Demonic Spirits impersonating anything you will believe in support of Satan's religion. Megalithic sites are built on electromagnetic alignments in the earth where Demons manifest themselves. Crop Circles, haunted houses, Pagan burial sites/sacred grounds, and UFO events happen in these places.
_.... The stone record hewed upon the selected glyphes can only tell the tales of past deities ,human exploits,hunts,tribalism ,or even teaching from gods they were influenced by dictating a realm of wisdom begotten due to influenced lores and expression of details they retained as a thematic custom derived from living out thier attempt to be all they dreamed in the seasonal path given them as Time allowed . Decipherment must intiated and researched thoroughly to gather a total pictographic / graphical scenario of time,events,customs , traditional themes,weaponry ,tools, feeding trends,migration ,habits ,and workmanship . This discovery needs much attention !!
As too often here your prejudice, ignorance & nonsense override the value of article. Why would there be any testing of "Palestinians" there is no ethnic nor nationality as such. That could never have any relevance. (other than the usual antisemitism) Those are Arabs imported into Israel by Turks & Brits as servants & peasant farm workers. Babble about them, then state the Druze DNA is closest to Ashkenazim. Notice you did not mention that the Druze claim descent from Jethro, thus Kenites in Bible.
No one can deny that the Sphinx has been a unique symbol of the Ancient Egyptian civilization from its ancient times to the present. It has inspired the imaginations of thousands of artists, poets, adventurers, scholars, and travelers from all over the world. For centuries, the Sphinx has inspired endless speculation about its age, its meaning and the secrets that it might hold.The Great Sphinx of Giza was constructed in the 4th Dynasty (2575 – 2467 B.C by the Pharaoh Khafre. it is carved out of a single ridge of limestone 240 feet long and 66 feet high. The Sphinx is only part of a set of structures built to serve the cult of the dead king and the sun god, Re, consisting of a pyramid, Pyramid Temple, causeway, Sphinx, Sphinx Temple, and Valley Temple

Why the babilonian image of the world is far from ours?
