THOMAS JEFFERSON, AMONG SEVERAL, REMARKED ABOUT THIS TRIBE OF BLOND, BLUE EYED INDIANS ON A HILL TOP IN VIRGINIA. ANY INVESTIGATIONS USING LOCATION MENTIONED OR DNA? Do you perhaps have a reference for this?, as this is a topic I am interested in. I think that some suggest this is a refetrence to t...

DNA tracing is done equally commonly on the male side. Sure it would get diluted, but a large enough sample can set limits. Also, if the Africans were kings, they would generally have a very large number of offspring. As nothing fishy seems to be reported from the DNA analysis, plus the excellent p...

My thinking: Y DNA is pretty hopeless for tracking population movements, while mt DNA works much better.

Why? I see no reason for the difference.

Isn’t most of the DNA tracing done on the female side? I would not expect too many ladies out on fishing trips. Or even on colonizing trips, if they knew there were women at the destination. The male DNA would get diluted. DNA tracing is done equally commonly on the male side. Sure it would get dil...

Wouldn't African contact in the Americas also show up as some trace level in the DNA analysis of Indians? Is the DNA statistics large enough for conclusions on this one way or the other?

Digit hasn't nailed it for me. I must have a mental block on this one. I still don't get it. Please, put me out of my misery. LOL. Okay, let's take Herod. The only written sources we have about him (mainly Josephus and a few derogatory comments in the NT) are written by people who hated him. Joseph...

Yes, I see you're in Croatia, Zale! I think you must be our only member (contributing anyway) who's from there! :lol: I'm in the UK, about half an hour south from London, in Kent - we call it the Garden of England and the women are known as Kentish Maids or Maids of Kent, depending upon which side ...

Many people will say something akin to "why would anyone concoct a history for themselves in which they were slaves?" Also, I think in those times for a whole nation to be enslaved was perfectly normal, so it was not a big shame in general like today, just a temporary setback. Almost a bi...

The thing we have to remember that this is a secret teaching, and thus not available to most priests and also the reason why the real meaning is cloaked in metaphor and allegory. An initiation is a very real, life changing experience - much more so than just the simple baptism we receive in a churc...

All this allegory stuff could very well be true, but I just can't seem to put myself in the correct frame of mind to buy it. The arguments (like Moses crossing the Red Sea symbolising baptism) all seem so stretched, with no apparent purpose. I mean, what is the point of forcing people to buy the sto...

Is there ANY possibility that blue eyes were introduced by the neanderthals?

About red ochre:Is it a coincidence that Adam means in Hebrew red?

To quote Josephus:"This man was called Adam, which in the Hebrew tongue signifies one that is red, because he was formed out of red earth, compounded together; for of that kind is virgin and true earth"

Then, as now, a lot of it was caused by Christian sensibilities. They slammed Schleimann out of the idea that *only* Christian Scripture was history, all the rest was pure 'myth'. .

Ironically, it seems there is more history and less myth in Homer than in the Bible...

Uhhh, if lack of roads is a problem to using wheels, wouldnt BUILDING roads solve that problem?

Also, are the llamas really useles in pulling a cart mounted on wheels?
