    The document is very fragmented so that does prove your right. I dont see them desperate. Just more questions than answers but that, is archeology.

    I wouldn't go that far as to say modern man began in just the "Americas." What I would say is that the "Out of Africa" theory is wrong. Humanity started on every continent and those people moved around hundreds of thousands of years before the "out of Africa" theory. Humanity is everywhere. We just didn't start out in "Africa" and suddenly became Asian, Hispanic or Fair skinned people from one group of people. Archeology is wrong based on preconceived notions and flawed academics. The history of this planet is older than those lame stream archeologist's will have you believe. They all have their own agendas in order to get more money to perpetuate the myths of humanity. History of the Middle-East is wrong by tens of thousands of years. Egypt is older than the current time frames we are given. The Sphinx for one is about 10,000 years older than it's stated dates. As is the Pyramids. When science removes it's blinders and stop with the AD/BC crap and go with Before Common Era and Common Era, times will change.

    Hey nitwit, nothing about what you said precludes the idea of "afro-centrism". You need to better understand time scale, geochronology, etc. Plus, this other guy says, rather broadly, we need to heed those with white hair and/or a nursing home ID over people with PhDs. Okay, I get that academia often forces new discoveries into a box but, sheesh, you people are just too out there for others to take your claims or comments seriously.

    That was my thought too. They seem to get desperate now as their version of history seems to crumble more and more by the day. Even if it is genuine it does not prove too much since the 'completion' could relate to additions and changes made later.

    if the "scientists" would listen to the ELDERS, and the stories of our Native Peoples, instead of "knowing all", they might perhaps learn something??

    can we finally get over the nonsense of Afro-centrism, and acknowledge that modern man began in Americas & migrated to Asia via Bering straits & Europe from North America?

  • Reply to: Manannan Mac Lir: God of the Sea and Guardian of the Afterlife   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Laurent MARTIN-COEUR

    Nice article, but you make it sound like Mannanan and Lir/Llyr are the same mythological character when traditionnally Mannanan is the son of Lir and they are not the same individual.

    The scottish "Mac" and the welsh "Fab" both means "son of", and the old texts present Lir as a god of the sea, with his son Manannan following his path and taking progressively proeminence over him in the people's minds.

  • Reply to: Nubia and the Powerful Kingdom of Kush   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Tarig Anter

    I am Nubian, and I find the name "Kush" weired and derogative. In modern Nubian language "Kush" is from Kushad which means "bad".
    I guess that this insulting name "Kush" was given the the great old Nubian state, land, people and empire by unfriendly foreign nation!
    My question here, is there any Nubian archeological eveidence to prove that the Nubian made and used the term "Kush" to describe themselves?

    Comment Author: Hodude

    The debate about Solutrean point was actually debunked as a result of recent DNA testing. Everyone from Naia of Hoyo Negro, Yucatan to the Clovis child at Anzick, MT to Kennewick man in Washington has the same basic DNA, which matches that of the Native Americans that were here at the time when Europeans started arriving here and even Native Americans of today. The pattern seems to point to a migration from Berengia, more likely by boat down the west coast, and then northward. The oldest remains, 14 - 16 thousand years old, seem to be in the south, Mexico down to Monte Verde. As you go north the remains get more recent, Anzick, the last of the Clovis point times, is about as old as this site, around 12,000 years ago. Until a set of remains is found for those that made this "solutrean point" and came from Spain or France, because it should have different DNA that the people that originated from SE Asia, then there is no evidence the theory is even plausible. Of course, lack of evidence doesn't necessarily mean it isn't there. It just hasn't been found. But from what I've seen, it seems the migration came from SE Asia, to Beringia, then down the coast the the farthest south, then northward from there (and at some point along the way, Clovis technology gets invented and eventually abandoned). At some point after 13,000 years ago a subsequent waves also start coming from Berengia via the ice-free corridor. Thanks to research on the ancient bison fossils, we now know that was the earliest time the corridor was open. But we still need to find evidence of actual boat use, not so easy since they were made of perishable material, and they would have landed in areas now under water. There is a four year study underway to conduct underwater archaeology in the Channel Island area that will hopefully find evidence. Having said that, if some sort of evidence that boats could sail from Europe then that could add another wave of people coming here. But so far, the DNA evidence says otherwise.

    I'm reminded of Fahrenheit every time I look at a thermometer or start a batch of wine. Unfortunately, his system of measuring temperature is silly. America really should switch to the metric system, but the incredible whining and crying it would create, would probably split the sky. At least when it is -40F outside, it is also -40C as the two scales coincide at that temperature, although it is a very small solace at that temp.

    Comment Author: D.M.

    ^^^Yeah....except that doesn't line up with scientific evidence. There being chambers does not "indicate strongly about tombs", because there is nothing present which would indicate a tomb. It seems that smooth sided pyramids are not used for tombs,...mostly because we never find tombs in them. Step pyramids seem to be more commonly used for tombs. And the normal, accepted story where (if you do the math), one granite block was quarried, transported, and placed every 6 seconds (yes, only six seconds a block) doesn't make much sense to me. Even regardless of the time taken.....id like you to show me how to shape granite with copper tools. it's ok, I'll wait.

    Tuatha De another possible explanation:

    Tu a tha = the saying
    De = God (ancient Greek DEA) = wisdom/knowledge

  • Reply to: Ancient tunnel under Teotihuacan may lead to Royal tombs   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Chris Braz

    No, the name Teotihuacan is nahuatl, not greek. The greeks were an entirely different civilization on a completely different continent that had nothing to do with mesoamerican civilizations, cultures or language. The nahuatl and greek words teo do not share similar meanings or concepts. Just because two cultures have similar sounding words does not mean one culture had anything to do with the other. I am so sick of people thinking indigenous cultures were incapable of shaping their own worlds, and must have been influenced by aliens or Europeans

  • Reply to: The Woman Behind the Man: Celtic Warrior Scathach, Teacher of Warriors   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Moonsong

    The legend also says that Cu Chulainn lay with Scathach and that they had a son. Cu Chulainn never knew his son had been born because Scathach never told him. When his son was 14 years old, he went to find his father. He came across a big fortress and challenged a warrior there. Because of his armour, no one noticed he was just a boy. Cu Chulainn ended up killing his son and realising the boy was his son only after he died, as he had a ring he had previously given to Scathach.

  • Reply to: The Wisdom of Cleopatra, the Intellectual Queen Who Could Outsmart Them All   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: philalethes2

    This article seems to not know much about the fact that Cleopatra was chiefly instrumental in developing a new synthesis as relgion, a mix of Greek hermeticism and Egyptian magic, which she and her hubby Julius Caesar, and the Mark Anthony, spread to Octavian, a new cult for the high aristocracy, called ChrEstianity. See the full delineation of this at John Bartram's site https://sites.google.com/site/originsofchristianity/
    This later morphed into ChrIstianty, with a synthesize god man called "Jesus." Another ploy to manipulate the masses.
