Geologists have found evidence of a thin layer of residue of this comet or comet fragments, which struck the North Atlantic that day several miles inland in Metropolitan New York City. Along the coast of the Mid-Atlantic and New England states, the i
his was a most logical conclusion, given that the ancient pyramid builders had no means of installing the outer casing stones on the stepped levels after the core of the structure had been built up. Indeed, it was absolutely imperative that the outer
The first fragment of this rare and unique text, a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet, was found in the early 1900s by German-American scholar Hermann Hilprecht at the site of ancient Nippur and published in 1906. Since Hilprecht's discovery, at leas
A very old stone bearing the name of Roman Emperor Hadrian was found, and it's telling archaeologists all sorts of interesting things about his visit to Jerusalem 2,000 years ago.

t is possible to pass virtually ice-free through the Northwest Passage in a mere 21 days. This occurrence, combined with versatile, shallow-draught Vikings ships, the Medieval Warm Period, and the relative shortness of the upper Passage (see Map 5c)
No doubt all outsiders are guilty of trespass, especially those who violate the domains of specialists, but as far the Northwest Passage and my own experiences are concerned, here I will claim - to some extent at least - to know whereof I speak. It w
Moreover, in practical applications the lengths of the longhouses might well have required an additional qualifier -- one already consolidated by Farley Mowat, namely overlaps for the prows and sterns of the boats, whether they be of Alban or Viking
Did the Greenland Vikings simply fade away, or was there more to their story and more to the Viking Sagas in addition? It would seem that there was far more. In fact sufficient evidence exists to suggest that the last Vikings triumphed over the hards
It was the shrill and outraged gibbering of priests, like the writer of this passage from The War of the Irish and the Foreigners, which gave the Vikings their reputation for being bloodthirsty savages. Clerics in holy orders were almost the only peo
This is a rather welcome item along with the known occurrence. We have here thirty symbols that shared common usage during the stone age. That the distribution is also larghely global is also importyant and supports my contention that information m

Some dismiss the use of these techniques in archaeology, arguing the methods aren't that new, and demonstrate only evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, improvement. But Stonehenge is a World Heritage Site spread over a large area and while it ha
The mythology of the Menehune is as old as the beginnings of Polynesian history. When the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaii, they found dams, fish-ponds, roads, and even temples, all said to have been built by the Menehune who were superb craftspeo

This very early date is important and more important is the existence of permanent housing. These people did not migrate at all and must have depended on the lake and forest for sustenance. This compares well to the Pacific Northwest. That culture
Historians have long debated whether Stonehenge was a full or incomplete circle, with some arguing a lack of stones in the south-west quadrant is proof it was never complete.
A scientific paper which adds weight to the "complete" theory has been
According to this book from the 1800's, there is an ancient relic called the Gettysburg Stone that states that the Earth goes through an 18 degree pole shift during the Age of Aquarius. That is the age we are in now.
Probably the most famous and prolific writer on the subject was James Churchward, who penned several books on the subject.

Perhaps it was because nobody until now has been willing to recognise that lenses existed in antiquity, and that the crystal sun idea was overlooked, and has never been described in any books on the history of science or philosophy.

But from only two teeth and a piece of finger bone smaller than a penny, we've been able to extract the rich history of a species that split off from Homo sapiens approximately 600,000 years ago. We know they're more closely related to Neandertha
