I'm a bit surprised. I thought that the more likely number was 5 waves of immigrants rather than just the three. In any case, the genetic marker seems to indicate that the Amerind ancestors split off from the Asian group and went north to become a separate peoples (the Siberians) rather than marching across from China to North America. Makes sense to me.by Byrd - Ancient History
A couple of problems, there... You're assuming that all the sides are of equal length. They aren't. You're either cherry picking a side or are making some supported assumptions. In your drawing you are showing thicker stones at the top. This isn't possible from a materials standpoint... the stone would weigh so heavily on the bottom stones that the casing would shatteby Byrd - Ancient Egypt
I'd say your proof is no proof, particularly since the Egyptians (unlike the Mayans) didn't build structures that made use of channeling sound or funneling sound. In order to measure by sound, they would have to have an accurate measurement of time and it would have to be able to measure time in far smaller units than the second. You could get the same sorts of results simply by layby Byrd - Ancient Egypt
Given the time and the technology, it's quite possible that BOTH of them are mistaken.by Byrd - Ancient Egypt

Khazar-khum said it so much more elegantly than I did. But the reasoning was the same -- it shows knowledge of the court and the history but not necessarily anything else. Didn't know that about the German critics, but that tidbit of information explains some rants I've run across (incoherent and unsourced) about "German critics" rewriting history.by Byrd - Ancient History
Touregypt had a nice page on it, which seems to be vanished. Here's a link to a cached version: [209.85.165.104] Wikipedia says it's predynastic and has some references. I remember that map from other sources: )by Byrd - Ancient Egypt

I read the article, and the title is rather overblown. They've found a tablet that mentions someone who was mentioned in the Bible. However, it hardly constitutes as any proof of the Bible.by Byrd - Ancient History

Nah. H. erectus had Smilidon. Made for a more interesting time in the household.by Byrd - Ancient History
The Grail legend is actually a medieval legend. There's no older records of it... so any "resting place" doesn't refer to an artifact from 30 AD or thereabouts.by Byrd - Ancient History
Not only that, but the solstice isn't always on June 21. Bad piece of writing.by Byrd - Ancient History
Do you have some sort of reference? All the year references I've read are given in terms of the ruler of that time (and I'm certain of that. I read hieroglyphics badly, but I can read dates because those are relatively easy to do.)by Byrd - Ancient Egypt
Easy answer: you're confusing time with linear measurement. You don't get seconds of time until you have a device capable of measuring seconds of time. The Egyptians didn't use the Babylonian 60-unit measurement, and thus didn't have 60 "seconds" in a minute... in fact, they didn't measure time that precisely. And your measurement of the second may be offby Byrd - Ancient Egypt
I think you may be trying to view the ancient Egyptians through the eyes of moderns.

I had a look at some of the news stories, and noted some interesting things: In the first place, this may have been a burial in unsanctified ground. The bones were discovered when they were pulling up rose bushes. Looking at the photo of the bones, the man whose skull fragments they show appears to be about 50 years old. The jaw bone shows the effect of the loss of molars long before he dby Byrd - Ancient History

Would it be mean-spirited of me to give just a LITTLE cheer? I was amused at Osmanagic's whine that they changed the rules all the time. I think that after they saw how badly he was mangling and damaging the site, that they quickly protected what sites were available on the hillside. That's one for the good guys, in my book!by Byrd - Ancient History
