of course if that were the case then theyd be able to produce a very similar cylinder seal that has a scorpion in the same pllace that VA243 has twelve planets wouldn't they There are twelve planets if you count Charon, Mondas and the Fendahl Homeworld. Charon is Pluto's moon. Mondas was home to th...

Personally, it seems to me like it all went down hill as soon as we came up with the written word.
And I think I can prove that in a court of law if anyone's interested.

“Where do you stop for a good falafel when you’re on your way to find the real Mount Sinai?” Oh my aching sides. :| I'm no expert but this all looks a bit "Archaeology is the new rock'n'roll" to me. Give it about six months and something else will be the new rock'n'roll. Maybe rock'n'roll ...

Wow! Thanks you lot. I fell considerably better informed. A couple of rambling points have struck me. The evidence thing, and its general scarsity within the geological record really should have ocurred to me before. A good (although possibly contentious) example from palaeontolgy is Robert Bakker's...

st george fighting dragons in england when he never left anatolia st patrick banishing snakes from ireland that were never there st columba banishing the loch ness monster by making the sign of the cross at it need i say more :lol: Just for the record, the same thing happened down Mexico way with t...

This is where my idiocy is revealed in all its Homer(Simpson)esque glory. I'm new here. I'm from England. More excuses available on request. Dipping into the various threads hereabouts I'm finding a lot of material that suggests pre-Clovis colonisation of the Americas. My problem is that you all kno...

The cipactli being a species of caiman, it seems unlikely to be a myth as the Discovery Channel is my witness. As for the question of whether or not the earth was formed from the bifurcated remains of a realy, really, really big alligator, well... scientists may mock etc. etc. (mumbles about being b...

I've been lurking around on this site for a few months and I've only just noticed this introduction thing. What can I say? I'm new to the internet and the weird and wonderful concept of sharing notes with people on the other side of the world. I've already received a friendly welcome from a few of y...

Pre-emptive apologies if this has already been covered but... I remember reading something along the lines of the indigenous peoples of the southernmost tip of South America sharing an above coincidental quota of mitochondrial DNA with the Australian aborigines, although the author gave no particula...

Hmmm. Well I might just have a few crackpot theories of my own if anyone wants to start something. That said, I haven't got anything that covers space aliens as yet. Maybe I should look into that? Bananas eh? I tried wild lettuce once (which wasn't, by the way, my idea) but I can't say the experienc...

Seeing as there's real Texans on board, you're all more than welcome to use my own home town as a geographical signifier of inbreeding. Shipston-on-Stour, England - for a startlingly accurate portrait read H.P.Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror but skip the oceanic bits (Shipston is inland). There were ...

At a tangent to the topic, my friend Rachel told me that her parents sold their house to none other than the mighty force of Graham Hancock. I'll confess that at the time dark thoughts crossed my mind regarding potential knowledge of where he lives, although this was roughly the year 2BTS (Before Th...

[quote="Minimalist]ROTFLMAO. Well I can agree with that.....but I take it you never met Arch...or Jean Marie?[/quote] No, but if there's anything I should be aware of I'd greatly appreciate any advice. I only discovered these forum thingies a few months back and I'm already startled by how easi...

It's almost funny the number of times Barbie (no relation?) uses the word pagan as if to impress the idea of us all standing at the edge of a Godless abyss. What seems particularly strange is that any level of debate was necessary within the Vatican, like perhaps some people thought the find might e...

it would really appear there are dumbasses all over the world. I think you nailed it pretty solidly. Except for the obvious inference that religion makes lots of otherwise intelligent people act like dumbasses. How does this thing work? I seem to have a sort of double-quote scenario ensuing. Oh wel...
