I've posted on some of the archaeology forums from time to time - but not under the name of Ishtar. I get a bit bored on Graham Hancock's - I don't know why...maybe they're too young and easily impressed for me. They're like "Whoa, man, did you hear about the Watchers and Enoch and the secret c...

They brought 144,000 gur,, a great storehouse full, [as repayment]. The taking of this gr...

What's needed is a Sumerian expert who knows about their oracles and diviners....

Do you have one here?

Is that your Rokcet, Scientist? Or are you just pleased to see me?

Yeah..sort of...but I'm also particularly interested in the actual content of the inscription. I'm interested in shamanism (both ancient and modern) and divining is part of that. The pythonesses (female diviners or oracles) of Delphi in Greece used to stand on similar objects, really high up above t...

Hi y'all

I'm new, so I just thought I'd drop in to this topic as I think it could be an interesting one, if only it could get going.

More thoughts later.....!
