What a disaster. Is there any way Osmangiac can be prosecuted for crimes against humanity?by Khazar-khum - Ancient History
Ah, the Goddesses--let's be realistic. All cultures had/have goddesses. The Goddess Worship crap that you hear being expounded upon by various 'wymyn' is not in any way, shape or form related to an ancient religion; it's simply anti-Judeo-Christianity, nothing more. It's rebellion filtered via the 'Golden Bough', with a hefty dose of Newage trash.by Khazar-khum - Ancient History

I have read your work. I am very sensitive to the idea of not being recognized by the people in the Orthodox Establishment. A lot of interesting theories & research are unfairly overlooked. A recent example of this in the 'hard' sciences is Dr Bob Bakker, the paleontologist. When he first stated his dinosaur theories, he was roundly attacked, Today he's been vilified by researby Khazar-khum - Ancient History

I didn't think that by saying you need to consider all creation myths as part of your theory that I was belittling either you or the Bible. I'm simply saying that, for your theory to hold up, you must consider how the others fit with your view. If you wanted to say that the peopole who believe they were carved from something are the same as earth-worshippers, go ahead, but you will haveby Khazar-khum - Ancient History
You have missed the myths where people are created from water, or are fashioned from something other than clay. Clay is an obvious choice, as it directly relates to things people understood. But people also saw things being carved from stone or bone, or woven from fibers, or pulled from the water. All of these types of creation myths void the dichotomy argument. The Cain & Abel is a good starby Khazar-khum - Ancient History
I agree. Sure, you can NAME a lot of female warriors. Can you name EVERY SINGLE MALE military commander? From even WWII Britain, say? How about Rome? The number is just too overwhelming. The odd female military commanders are all the more remarkable when seen this way. They overcame a great deal to be able to fight.

This is so cool. I wonder, though--didn't the Moche have queens? Couldn't this woman have been one?by Khazar-khum - Ancient History

I've read your theories & ruminations, and have to say that its foundation is highly unstable. To wit: Earth = goddess, sky = god. In a word, NO. There are more than enough earth gods & sky goddesses to shoot this down. So, once your foundation argument fails, the rest crumbles.by Khazar-khum - Ancient History
