    Ah - fascinating - thank you Ted. I assume then that George Smith was fluent in Old Persian, or Elamite, or Babylonian. Clever chap. Still, it must have taken him rather more than a wet afternoon to figure it all out :-)

    I agree with you Rani. As a woman, the womb shape is the first thing I noticed. I can't understand why others don't reference the magnitude of the significance of this shape. The miracle of birth was exactly that . A miracle. The fact that a woman's internal organs could produce a living human was probably awe-inspiring. Motherhood was well understood. At that time period, I doubt that fatherhood was understood well at all. At least until animal domestication and animal husbandry was a well establish fact. The womb as temple shape probably does seems to indicate some form of spiritual rebirth, whether it be related to seasonal/pastoral, shamanistic initiation, some sort of sacrificial rite or all of the above at specified times. It would at least be a wonderful avenue for exploration. And the theory would fit wonderfully with the concept of Cygnus as path to the afterlife and northerly aligned "seelenloch" or spirit holes.

    Good article! There is one aspect that I would like to elaborate a little bit further on:
    "we" celebrate Christmas on december 25th, because the Romans ordained so.
    But the winter solstice actually lasts from december 21st to january 6th!
    That is because, from december 21st on, the sun sets later; but it is not until january 6th that he also rises earlier.
    Our "pagan" ancestors already knew that long ago; and that is why there are still places where people uphold all kinds of "Epiphany" traditions.
    But -just like Christmas and Easter- those traditions were so deeply rooted, that the catholic church "christened" them, when those traditions turned out to be impossible to eradicate.

    I have several strong memories that i have no idea if they are from past lives,
    one of me in a brown dress, XIX century, in a very snowed city with red buildings i've always connected with Sweden, slipping on some iced steps and falling on my rear and a man by a horse carried sleigh laughing at me, another is my fear since child of explosions, fireworks etc and a fascination with Stalingrad i've never been able to call other thing than Stalingrad and a third of a 'me' as a child dancing at a wedding

  • Reply to: More Than Summer Solstice - Prehistoric Calendar Revealed at Stonehenge   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Joan Rankin

    Our paper does not speak of religion, shaman or elites. The 93 page paper, The Stonehenge Carvings, discusses the evolution of calendar keeping at Stonehenge. And that's all.

    The Aubrey hole circle was a calendar counting device. I have no idea what they used the construction in the centre for. That wasn't needed for calendar keeping.

  • Reply to: The Importance of Evidence in the Heated Debate on Homosexuality in Ancient Egypt   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Jeffison

    “I have not done wrong sexually, I have (not) practiced homosexuality”.

    The term "homosexuality" is a very modern culture-bound concept that cannot convey an accurate translation of whatever Egyptian term was used.

    ---

    It is well established that Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep shared the title of Overseer of the Manicurists in the Palace of King Niuserre. They were buried together in their joint royal tomb, and depicted intimately touching noses. The fact that they both had wives and children, far from discounting their intimate relationship with each other, actually clues us that, like most ancient cultures, male / male relationships were common and a non-issue as long as they fulfilled their duty to reproduce and care for their offspring.

    Check out the web entries for Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting . It happened here and it is still happening. I suspect it was the model for Spielbergs Close Encouters.

    From research I have done, I am thinking that some of the populations of the world spread from the central point of Atlantis. So many have so much in common and not just ordinary things, but stories, belief and language. Atlantis also had many colonies around the world.

    Comment Author: jagganatha

    In your reply to my post you make a number of statements for which there is no proof at all. The concept of shaman and the concept of religious elites guarding secrets to maintain a grip on the "ignorant" populace is , of course, very popular amongst academics who themselves imagine they are an elite. But there is some trueh missing from these concepts, as you will have noticed how much we, as others, communicate with each other. No practical knowledge of this at all has ever been kept secret from populations, since if there were elites then and there as you claim, they are entirely and wholly dependant for sustenance and defence etc on the population as a whole, whom historically they have always helped and guided in these ways, unless as Galileo and Copernicus they were shut up , not to preserve secrecy, but to save face.

    No, a religious elite exists and guards secrets of a spiritual nature, and these shamans, guides etcetera have always existed outside of buildings and any organized religions and worship, so that even the concept of Stonehenge being a construction for the benefit of initiates, druids or shamans is ridiculous, laughable. Additionally all the holes and markers you have researched so well, and with such commitment very probably had some part in the way that Stonehenge was built. Just as builders leave measuring marks now. What I noticed years later again trying to read Le Mesuriers (clue?) book on Gizeh was how he was consistently taking mere coincidence between unrelated measurements in unrelated fields, and even dimensions of time and space, to be significant, and to have meaning, where it all really only smoke and mirrors, like poetry and philosophy and religious "doctrines" are.

    Hi Veronica-Mae,

    George Smith had access to the transcriptions and translations from the Behistun Inscription which was written in Old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian. This 15 metre high rock engraving was to cuneiform what the Rosetta Stone was to Egyptian hieroglyphs.

  • Reply to: Evidence Found for Secret Terror Weapon of the Romans   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Veronica-Mae Soar

    Interesting to read that bullets from slingshots could go further than an arrow - and that they went 200metres. I am unfamiliar with the potential of the bows used by the Romans - and their adversaries - but in later years 220 yards was the statutory practice distance for the longbow, and reproductions of the war bow today regularly reach 300 yards.
    Incidentally whistling arrows have also been used in the past to worry the enemy troops. presumably because a silent arrow does not concern you, for you do not know it is on its way.

  • Reply to: Evidence Accumulates for Ancient Transoceanic Voyages, Says Geographer   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Old Git Tom

    Indeed, much evidence accumulating to suggest Old & New Worlds had very ancient oceanic links. However, one aspect bothers me. The native populations of the Americas were ravaged & near-obliterated by diseases brought by Columbus & his successors. That seems uncontroversial. But if so, how so, if the locals of the Americas had been exposed to these diseases for so long, via contacts with previous carriers from the Old World? Would not immunities have appeared? Why would the arrivals of the Columbus-age visitors have proved so particularly lethal?

  • Reply to: They’re Alive! Megalithic Sites Are More than Just Stone   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Edward Hanson

    I don't have proof, but I think a picture is beginning to form of an ancient global power grid involving megalithic structures such as these.
    There are a large number of stone circles in S.Africa that exhibit very powerful electromagnetic phenomenon. Michael Tellinger describes it very well in this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyWplRoVAcc
    Just be sure to tune out when he starts talking about running for president of SA. The discussion becomes tedious and veers away from the topic at that point.
    Also, there has been some good information come out that posits the idea that Gobleki Tepe is a serious of telluric power generators.Additionally, there is evidence that the system of ley lines is a global phenomenon as well. It could all be part of the same system.

  • Reply to: The Origins of Human Beings According to Ancient Sumerian Texts   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Anonymous1

    Everything you said made sense until you started talking about recycling energy (as to say reincarnation) you make absolutely no sense there. It's like a contradiction. Energy is real, but once you die, you're dead. Simple as that. If you believe the Sumerian story, clearly, you were not created by "energy" you were created by the mixing of Blood (DNA) and the Ape, so what makes you think you are going to be reincarnated? That is just some false hope like The Christian believes there's a place in the sky to them to go after death. See the likeness? When you die, you're just dead. Energy is real, but it is not how you're trying to make it. Energy is inside of my phone......
