  1. It is just an Anglo perspective from a Puritan society with heaps of hangups.
    12
  2. He was pandering to the group he wants to attract.
    11
  3. Cats were a cheap way of making a mummified offering, you didn't have to hunt for them like Baboons or Crocodiles.

  4. Well being a warrior means fighting and being violent. It is not flower arranging.
    7
  5. I am triggered by it as well. I usually stop viewing Youtube videos when that censorship happens.
    7
  6. Enricher? I am Australian but born in Malta, and I tell you there were quite a lot of names for immigrants especially Italians, but none was enricher.

  7. He's good at mixing things with some validity with BS. He is one snake oil vendor.

  8. Hancock relies on people like you. You have done him proud.

  9. Egypt is a transcontinental country and alway has been. How many battles did they fight in the Middle East? Why did they care if the Hittites wanted their territory in the Middle East? Being so African, they didn't give a shit about Nubia except for the gold, or Punt for its spices and woods.

  10. So the Black African man was Persian? I didn't see the film, not my thing, the butchery of history.

  11. A person who looks European White can have 15% sub Saharan ancestry. You cannot tell someone's ancestry just by their looks. If you can believe what is written about Sally Hemings and her white slave owner father of her children, her children looked European.

  12. I don't know either personally. This is my view, Joe Rogan is a working class man with little education, but he wants to know things to learn and that makes him open to people like Hancock. Lex Friedman want to start a discourse with the people who create some sort of notoriety or write challenging books or provide alternate answers.

  13. It's kind of strange since European Mediterranean people eat a lot of fish and seafood.
    4
  14. Australian Aborigines and Pacific Islanders call themselves black, and living in Australia some of the Aborigines are as dark as the darkest black Africans, the Sudanese. When I hear Black I think of Australian Aborigines not Americans or Africans or South Indians.
    4
  15. Because then they are no longer secrets.

  16. An epitaph is written on the gravestone of the grave where the person was buried. A cenotaph is a dedication to a deceased person who is buried elsewhere or whose body was lost.

  17. It doesn't matter. Christianity, or its modern perversions, is here, and quite popular. Something must of happened in the past to get it to snowball. Obviously it wasn't Jesus. I am sure he would be out there saying Christianity is a mockery of what he said and wanted.
    3
  18. They think what they say is the truth.
    3
  19. Well, there are no Anglo Saxons still around, but if they still were, then yes it's okay to be Anglo Saxon. What we should do is reverse the Old English thing and call it Anglo Saxon again.

  20. It doesn't have to face the constellation of Leo. You can put up a Lion stature anywhere, or make a golden statue of a bull in the deserts of Sinai.
    3
  21. It sounds good for a pirate. Star Wars is using that accent for the Skeleton Crew pirates.
    3
  22. So why the inner chambers, the sarcophagi. A lot of trouble for nothing.
    3
  23. I guess it is the same about Hannibal who was of Berber and Levantine origin, and even Cleopatra who ruled Egypt, so she had to be a black African.
    3
  24. Well, we just have what others had to say about Roman religion, and its importance. What if it is all hooey. Religion was just some tradition one did in Rome, like crossing the Ts and dotting the Is. Most people are Christians because they were trained to be Christians, there is no thought it in, just rote learning.
    3
  25. As long as he didn't say Pompi.
    3
  26. In Australia Black means Australian Aborigine and Torres Strait Islanders. However in most of the world it means West African Blacks from Nigeria and Ghana.
    3
  27. I do like those old cars with their running boards.
    3
  28. It is up to them. Look at some famous artists, they have their phases. They change and evolve. So the Egyptians decorated, added hieroglyphics and then didn't. I sometimes go for a walk soon after I wake, and other times in the afternoon, sometimes I will have a favorite food, then it changes to another.
    3
  29. How do you know? How old are you?

  30. I think his description of that chamber being claustrophobic and clambering on hands and knees, is jus to frighten us from going there and seeing for yourselves.

  31. Look, I have seen a lot of dna results of North Africans and Egyptians. They do have sub Saharan ancestry, in Mozabites it's about 25%. It matters not to me, but you can expect racists to make a big deal about it. European Americans who are from the South also have sub Saharan ancestry in low percentages. Whenever people of different origins are close to each other, they will mix.
    2
  32. I think it's about the terrain of Greece being rocky, hilly with limited arable land. The sea is quite bountiful.
    2
  33. There were Punics in Sardinia. The remains of these Punics have a lot of North African ancestry, but mixed with European ancestry. They weren't particularly Middle Eastern.
    2
  34. No, eventually thinking people will move to places where rational thinking prevails.

  35. He is plausible, and knows how to win an audience. He is also entitled to believe in fairies at the bottom of his garden, the ones with wings.

  36. It is capitalism, making money by any means is the rule. Truth, morality and ethics goes into the trash can. I am not knocking capitalism as it is the way the world progresses materially and provides a good life for many.
    2
  37. The Egyptians probably had levers and pulleys.
    2
  38. Happens in sleeping bags too, the freezing of moisture.
    2
  39. They are not elites, just people with a good education and opportunities to pursue their training. Yes, being fired, being banned from employment in your field and being lambasted does make many afraid.
    2
  40. What about the parents of the boy?
    2
  41. You know why they chose that Deinonychus? Because it was macho, not like the real Velociraptor.
    2
  42.  @NotanEmpire  A learned gentleman, what an archaic phrase. It's the 21st century, and there are no gentlemen or ladies anymore. Caput.
    2
  43. What about the natural phenomenon of the rainbow? They totally ruined that.
    2
  44. There are so many statues, mummy casings, paintings.... let them look it up themselves.
    2
  45. The gee I am so tiny feeling. Yes, there is ego as well, and hubris.
    2
  46. Ethiopians are a stabilized ethnic group, I mean the common type of Ethiopians, Amhara etc. Being stabilized they can be assessed just as Ethiopian or NE African.
    2
  47. Yes, but why use enslaved when the person is a slave. Doesn't make sense.
    2
  48. A hard a?
    2
  49. I grew up in Australia when we used to use Fahrenheit scale, but I had no idea what 50 deg Fahrenheit meant. I would be quite fine just wearing a tee-shirt in snow at 50 deg Fahrenheit, it isn't snowing or slushy, but quite dry and a low wind day.
    2
  50. No, a fisher of men.
    2
  51. He was a nice man, not offensive, but he was the epitome of a White man, his skin color, hair and eye color. He had to tread a fine line.
    2
  52. I see an old, weak man not any type of Jesus.
    2
  53. Not really. When the Neolithic people who depended on Wheat and Barley in bread, their teeth were rather bad. It's carbohydrates not just sugar. Also flour was made by grinding grains with stone mills. That is not to mean he had really bad teeth as shown by that bigot.
    2
  54. I would, for a few seconds and after a sauna.
    2
  55. It was a plateau.
    2
  56. Yes, but it still is a guess.
    2
  57. If a person said that to me, about Mr Severus, I would just walk away and never converse with them again.
    2
  58. Yes it is hard as most media users are Americans who have hangups about race to the point of ignoring all physical and mental differences until it uses them. You should know that North Africans are considered to be invaders and colonialists because they are not dark enough, and don't have West African features.
    2
  59. It could be that flowing robes might hamper their sporting ability.
    2
  60. Palaeontology depends on finding fossils, and plant remains, so finding newer, older fossils and plant remains can change the field. You have to change. Archaeology depends on what is found and dated accurately, but assumptions happen. When ancient dna results of humans became possible it overturned many assumptions, and bigotry, but there was still a fight. The man who discovered the the remains of Lucy, kept those remains under lock and key and would not allow anyone to study her. There are asshats in Science.
    2
  61. Well, White people are Farangs in Thailand, actually a lot of Asia. It comes from the Franks believe it or not, from the Crusades in the Levant all that long ago. Farang is not exactly a nice word. In the UK the big cities are the places that are the least indigenous, lots of immigrants, lots of non European people, but the countryside is different. There was a woman, I guess American, that complained that there weren't enough Black people in Greece, like every place in the world have to have lots of Black Africans.
    2
  62. It is something that most people don't know, that the name Africa comes from the North of Africa, probably a local North African name. It eventually got extended to the whole continent. Similar to the word Asia became applied to all East Eurasia. So it is ironic that the people who lived in Africa were Berbers who certain people consider not to be African but of immigrant origin because they are not chocolate brown skinned.
    2
  63. What about Shakespeare? It also reminds me of an old film with Kirk Douglas, a Jew, playing a Viking, and Sidney Poitier, a black American, playing a Moor. The image of Moors being black Africans, muslims, dressed in Arabian attire is very strong.
    2
  64. I think he means that the Mediterranean Sea loses more via evaporation than it gains from rivers, the Black Sea and rainfall. It is the Atlantic Sea that keeps the Mediterranean sea from disappearing and leaving nothing but salt behind.
    2
  65. He has Youtube channels, it is not a game or sport. I never heard of Wired, so he enlightened me.
    2
  66. Friend, most people don't know what a Numidian happens to be. Or have heard of Emperor Macrinus. I have to tell you, Americans rule the world, and Black Americans are very vocal about things they believe, they think they are experts on Africa, about Africa and Africans. You, a native Algerian are fighting a battle you cannot win.
    2
  67. English historians on Roman history pronounce Pompei as Pompy. I don't like it. What is hard about saying Pompei. Mary Beard says Pompy, now Mary Beard is a funny name.
    2
  68. Come on! Everyone would look.
    2
  69. We all have biases, but some are not really aware of them.
    2
  70. Yes of course. It is like a man owning a Lamberghini, it is an artifical phallus. Look how great I am. Just pure ego.
    2
  71. There are statues of Septimus Severus, and the painting of his family. So we have a good idea. There are representations of Cleopatra and Hannibal and other Carthagenians. It doesn't matter to prejudiced people as Africa means Black people to them. Augustine was from North Africa as well, so I guess he goes into the Black category to them.
    2
  72. There were pre Dynastic Egyptians.
    2
  73. Why not make Rum out of it, otherwise it is just a high nutrient pollutant.
    2
  74. Sappho is known because she was from Lesbos and considered homosexual, not for her poetry. How many people in Europe and America can read her poetry as written in her form of Greek?
    2
  75. Communism is a form of Socialism, a corruption if you like, abolishing of private property wasn't a Socialist thing. The thing is that both the socialist side and the fascist side started off as a number of sects which ended with one predominating with the others being terminated. Historically Socialism was fractured into many sects which hated each other.
    2
  76. I have read that during times of famine the Egyptians ate their children. It wasn't all good times in old Egypt.
    2
  77. Are you Indian? They use that Wheat skinned stuff too. White is sort of yellow, so you are saying you are yellow. Olive skin is not exactly yellow.
    2
  78. I am interested in ancient Rome, but only to a certain level. As to Christianity, the early groupings of Christians, I suppose you could call then a church, what the Romans thought about Christians, it doesn't interest me at all. I just like hearing opinions which is what they are, you could call them facts, it is food for thought, ultimately not important. As far as the Egyptians, the old brown ones, they could have functioned without a Pharaoh or declaring himself, herself as a God. Same with Rome. The Romans had Kings once, they got rid of him, had a republic without some man wanting to be a God, and Octavian could have done all the things he did without declaring Julius Caesar or himself a God. I have to say whoever put those words into Jesus' mouth in the New Testament did a good job, good PR work.

  79. Gobekli Tepe is something that appeals to people interested in really old human history especially that has some relevence to Europe. I am interested in ancient dna, and the Anatolian farmers that went to Europe via the Danube river route and the Mediterranean Sea hopping route derived their ancestry mostly from Anatolian HG. Goblekli Tepis is in the Mesolithic era. Hancock wants answers to things that suit him, he doesn't accept answers that have been offered. He wants Atlantis to exist because he doesn't believe certain civilizations as in Egypt was done solely by the people living in the Nile Valley. See how he is saying about the ancient humans the date keeps changing older and older, and uses that to query everything about all civilization. So he asks unanswerable questions and offers his ideas as answers. There are major missing pieces he says, he mentions the Younger Dryas like it is a freak event. The Earth wobbles on its axis, it's tilt to the ecliptic changes. Why, I don't know.

  80. Tea was the colloquial way of saying dinner in Australia when I was a child, I doubt it is now. If I said that to an immigrant to Australia from the Philippines or South Sudan or Canada even if they have lived in Australia for a long time, they wouldn't understand. But when I was a child, Australia was overwhelmingly British mostly English origin. A cuppa is the way of saying having a cup of tea. In a way Australians today use less slang, and people think very Australian like Paul Hogan or the late Steve Irwin are anachronisms.
    2
  81. One way to get rid of the dead.
    2
  82. Yes, and Europeans have Neanderthal ancestry as well.
    2
  83. It doesn't matter because we are dealing with prejudice, and irrational thinking. To those people, Africa means sub Saharan Africans, it doesn't matter if it is North Africa or Egypt or even NE Africa which have different origins, different hunter gatherer ancestors to West Africans who are the typical Black person to them. The more older Pygmies and KhoiSan Africans are totally ignored, as is the homogenizing effects of the Bantu speaking farmers from the Cameroons that moved to the east and south of Africa.
    2
  84. He has to have such a common accent, and that head wear. I usually turn off when I see modern folk trying to to make a statement with their clothing. The point is the usage of Africa from the Berber tribe encountered by Europeans to just refer to a continent wholly occupied by sub Saharan Africans. North Africa was always connected with Asia from the ancient pre historic times, and even the languages extinct and modern spoken in the North of Africa called Afro-Asiatic languages did not originate in Black Africans. Had they originated with Black Africans they would be all over Africa from the south to the north, east to the west, instead that most of the languages are Bantu languages. Regarding the meaning of Moor it is just by association with Africa being black African, also it was a way to distance Muslims in Europe from European as nasty foreigners. The Irish Celts called the Vikings dark foreigners because the Vikings were evil. I think he is being simplistic about meaning of moor just because Shakespeare or others use it or misuse it to mean Black African. It proves nothing except the meaning of words over time. There is dna results of the Muslims in Iberia during the occupation of Iberia by Muslims that came from Morocco. Some of those Moors has North African and European ancestry, some werre totally European, and the pigmentation was in the European range from north to south Europe.

  85. I think he was a good explainer. I can understand his avoidance of the race bomb.
    2
  86. If they were naked, I doubt women were spectators, and nudity in the gymnasium, not the German gymnasium, was obviously an all male event.
    2
  87. Well it's 2025 not some remains of a some ancient Ephesian Roman domus. I doubt 99% of modern Europeans and Americans would have heard of Sappho, but lesbian they would know.
    2
  88. Well it is believed Constantine did the Christian thing as an expediency. He wasn't a true believer. A more important point. Are we, humans, better off ethically, morally, judiciously because of Christianity and its world wide prominence?
    2
  89. Would your children know what the toys are suggesting or you saying? They are children wanting to play with pieces of colored plastic.
    2
  90. It is more probably the kiss thing was due to the writer not knowing what Jesus looked like, so not description just an action, a kiss. Can you imagine, Jesus is the one with crossed eyes and a pock marked face.
    2
  91. The problem is that it changes with the wind. And the French Revolution is a guide, even Robespierre got the chop.
    2
  92. I didn't understand that bit. It is said that the Egyptians diverted waters from the nile towards the area where the pyramids were to be built because it was easier to transport the stones to the site. The Nile was what made Egypt without it all of Egypt would be a red desert, the river deposited silts and turned the land beside the river, black and fertile.
    2
  93. Now, some living person has to interpret the past, and that person isn't going to be able to get into the brains and psyche of the long dead Joes. Of course he is going to do what he does. Even if some Mr Yahudi back in the days of Jesus, described and wrote about Jesus, it would be his interpretation not Jesus'
    2
  94.  @jukeman9291  Partenogenesis, it is the production of offspring by females without fertilization by a male, sort of the Jesus effect. Lots of species do that including Komodo Dragons.
    2
  95. In Australia a while back, a radio performer was sacked for saying "Ladies when your husband gets home from work open up your Leggos" Leggos is a brand of Tomato paste.
    2
  96. It is a nice saying but not really true.
    2
  97. Now he is making money, and gathering a following. Pope Hancock.
    2
  98. You can call yourself West Eurasian which is what Europeans and Middle Easterners are. But better still you could self identify as you want. Personally I don't use any of those labels and I dislike the term White or Black as they are exaggerations of actual pigmentation.
    2
  99. And gay, straight and whatever can too.
    2
  100. You have made an accusation. How about saying who they are? I have never heard that myself. There is nothing about Hancock that is supreme, and what his race is is irrelevant. But don't hide like a coward, come out and say who those people are. So far I am not impressed by his followers.
    2
  101. No, we live in the present as did they.
    1
  102. The thing is the name is not pronounced the Italian way in English. Raphael is not a common first name at all. Raf a il.
    1
  103. Yes, but it doesn't always work.
    1
  104. They all died, so how can they be so amazing and awesome.
    1
  105. To do testing, dna testing, requires the artifact or remains to be damaged. With human remains, it would hardly do any damage, a few grams of bone dust, other than the dislike of disturbing remains, but works of art, the damage is more serious.
    1
  106. Is she White? She's rather odd looking.
    1
  107. There is a group of African Americans who actually believe the Indigenous people of the Americas were black Africans. Look how they have convinced a lot of people that Jesus, the Hebrews and the Israelites were Black Africans.
    1
  108. The crossbow and the bow can be used to shoot at opponents from a long distance. A mace or sword has to be used a close range. A sniper is like a crossbowman.
    1
  109. Also the ancient meaning of Dictator.
    1
  110. You are judging. You should look at what evidence he produces. There is no argument that will sway the zealots, Hancock is a zealot. Nothing wrong with being a zealot, personally I would just walk away, and let Hancock talk and talk.
    1
  111. That is just ignorance, and probably low IQ.
    1
  112. There's loads of them in Australia, they are called Black Angus. I knew cattle breeders that bred those small beasties. Apparently a red colored sport is undesirable like a lot of gingers.
    1
  113. Yes, you are right. However genetic diversity comes from a large population or one that is heavily admixed, Italians in Europe have the highest diversity among Europeans. Also, in Africa the Bantu farmer expansion from the Cameroons to just about every part of Africa, barring the North, parts of the NE Africa has homogenized Africa.
    1
  114. Never watched any of those films, and Disney Land is not somewhere I would go.
    1
  115. The Educational system and school teachers have degraded over the decades.
    1
  116. Too busy counting her shoes.
    1
  117. Well, you know that Europeans were darker before the Bronze Age, the addition of Indo-European ancestry to hunter gatherer ancestry and neolithic farmer ancestry basically made Europeans lighter especially in the north as they have more Indo-European ancestry about 50%.
    1
  118. How can you disprove Atlantis or God or E.T visitations? You can't. So no logical or rational set of arguments will sway any zealot. I wouldn't dismiss Archaeologists the way you did. What has this Hancock done to further knowledge? In the Australian vernacular, Fuck all. It means absolutely nothing.
    1
  119. Couldn't watch. She's mental.
    1
  120. Not whiter, but paler. There are lots of pale East Asians, remember Syrians, Turks, Lebanese, Palestinians, Jordanians, Iranians...are in Asia as well.
    1
  121. That woman is not a scientist. She is an arty farty humanities person, nothing remoting scienific about any of her studies.
    1
  122. The H in Graham is not pronounced. Everyone I have met don't like outsiders entering their territory, it's as natural as breathing. Archaeologists are just like everyone else in that regard. A saying when I was a child when studying science by a Scientist was: Engineers are the idiots of the sciences. In Jurassic Park it was said, God help us, we're in the hands of Engineers. Just because Mr. Hancock is an expert at poo pooing the criticism of himself by others, doesn't make him plausible or give his make his ideas sensible. His arguments are apologist.
    1
  123. DEI can like most ideas be taken too far. I don't believe that people should be censured because they are bigots, misogynists, manhaters, you did not add that, racists, agists... whatever name you want. It is better to have it out in the open, than force it underground.
    1
  124.  @JaelaOrdo  People are whiny children, it doesn't change just because they get older.
    1
  125.  @jsmoothd654  Not sure what you mean? He quotes various authors, reads from passages of bible or torah. Can't you look them up yourself? Part of education is the ability to do your own research rather than rely on 2nd or 3rd hand research.
    1
  126. I use White, I prefer European, that is what the Indigenous Australians call people like me, Europeans. I have no idea what they call the Sudanese Africans.
    1
  127. It depends. Some people can get rather annoying and boring with too much time.

  128. He could be as he was a bastard. Chaka Zulu not Zulu Chaka.

  129. Big daddy.

  130. Isn't there enough of that already, making everyone win a prize, letting all children move on when they haven't made the standard...
    1
  131. Yes and how many people want that crap? Cleopatra bombed. Denzel Washington won't help a Hannibal film either. People should ask the question: Why African Americans and not Nigerians or Ethiopians or Zulus, real black Africans.
    1
  132. It should as it is meant to entertain us. A better looking Alien could have been chosen, and a manly looking ancient Egyptian.
    1
  133. There are problems with lots of labels, the Neolithic in SE Europe is much older than in Britain or Ireland. Definitely a sponsored video, it's a turnoff for me.
    1
  134. Maybe the ancient Egyptians should have an foresight and written something for the Aliens and Hancock lovers to say they did it all themselves, but they don't want us to know how.
    1
  135. That beard does not suit him. I consider him a good popular historian, it's his bread and butter. Gladiators from York definitely were killed since they were beheaded. I saw Dr Elliott in some exhibition, he's rather tall, odd body shape, a bulbous belly, skinny legs. He reminded me of a frog with outstretched legs.
    1
  136. She was talking about Marx/Engels idea of Communism, you have to read the Communist Manifesto, a boring read. Communism was viewed as an ideal to go for, otherwise it was just a form of Socialism. Socialism has many forms, most governments control their monetary system, the education system, provides subsidies to industrialists and agriculturists and so on. I understand her on what she says on Communism, but to us who are into Democracy and a certain amount of individual freedom, it was not Socialism in the USSR, it was Communism. She really is a mouthpiece for the old USSR, Communism and the various dictators of the USSR. She is bigoted, maybe because of her ethnic origin, and the statue of Lenin. Personally she can believe what she wants, it's her religion after all.
    1
  137. Who cares about the Greeks, who weren't the modern Greeks of today, thought about North Africans? To them everyone was a barbarian because they didn't speak Greek and sounded like sheep, ba ba. I don't believe everything people accept as the inhabitants of certain regions. And what did they look like anyway? I don't accept your imaginative ancestry of Mauretanians, sounds like Afrocentric clap trap coming from some stupid American. You should know, the coming of Islam to North Africa is the reason for the presence of Black Africans in the North. They were slave, hewers of wood and drawers of water. Slavery is synonymous with Islam and always was from its beginnings in Arabia. You don't know Africa's story, you just believe a lot of crap, nonsense that came out of American slavery of Black Africans. Why not sing your own songs and leave Africa to its natives and not appropriate what doesn't belong to you as an alien.

  138. Imagine if all men around the world stopped working for a week at the same time. Do you think the world would grind to a stop? In the Western world heterosexual people are postponing marriage to their 30s, and as a result having less children, requiring the need for foreign workers to staff services and industries. Now has that been a good solution to natural increase and producing no problems?
    1
  139. I suppose they would. But how old is the Ukraine and Belarus compared with the Great Bear? And the Ukraine was referred to as Little Russia.

  140. How would gangsters know that info from so long ago?

  141. So is humanity? A bunch of hairless chimpanzees.

  142. I can't stand the man's accent. He is one Masshole.
    1
  143. Not the Irish. It is not just the USA, it is an undercurrent in most Anglophone countries about anyone who isn't or cannot pass as NW European looking. It is just about pigmentation, dark hair, dark eyes, olive skin.

  144. Thanks, I have done lots of chemistry in my two science degrees. Lactose in milk, a sugar, can convert same into Yogurt.

  145. Which is why governments don't want to fund them.

  146. They used copper tools as well, they weren't that backward.

  147. Well, I have not watched Game of Thrones, not my thing. Though they had dragons, and I do like dragons more the Chinese type than the European type. I just thought Mr. Martin was borrowed from existing history and literature. Let's face it, everything is derivative of what went on before. The sleep pattern thing was very interesting as I so dislike the rat race sleep pattern. You would freak out with the Huntsmen spider or the Golden orb spider.

  148. Blackbeard was a woman? It's from the West Country, arr, scrumpy. The man is married, his poor wife. He pronounces cooks like Kooks. Privateer has a patent to raid, obtain gold, slaves, and scuttle ships. I could live without a picture of Mr. Barrie. It is wonderful that there is an expert on pirates of all things.
    1
  149. That's nice. But remember American English dialects have been corrupted by the millions of non English speaking people that immigrated there. Some of their pronunciation are quite odd especially multi syllabic words.

  150. O and 1.
    1
  151. Really. Thanks, I will take that under advisement.

  152. So the women has a few screws loose. Humans tend to opposite these artificial trends after a while, it may take some years, but it back fires on those Sarkeesian borderline crazy folk.

  153. He's Sicilian. He didn't know much about Malta and it's 90 km away.

  155. How can knowledge be secret if people know about this secret.

  156. So why don't you write the texts in accurate English? I see no reason to read dead languages.
    1
  157. Thanks, I usually self censor what I watch and read, and I would have read that article as it's biased and emotional. I prefer writers who write as if in the 3rd person, not their subjective self.
    1
  158. And there's no way of disproving the Ice Age idea of an ancient civilization. Look at the movies and TV shows on Vampires, Dragons, faster than light travel, Magic and mythical people. There is a need for those type of things, and for what Hancock talks about.
    1
  159. Well, I think the Egyptians wanted to build something new on virgin ground.
    1
  160. Look it is a popular racist opinion about Sicilians, and it's based on their Mediterranean European appearance which many of those racists think is not European White.
    1
  161. So what? Our sexual preferences are our own. If he had a tree as a partner would he not burn wood? Everyone has racist ideas, but most keep it under control, just like everyone has hateful thoughts and does the same.

  162. Those animals are all over the world, not just Scotland or Aberdeen.

  163. There are places where pitch and bitumen are harvested in the Near East. Obviously some sulphur odours would exist there.

  164. The man is a working class bloke from England, you heard it in his accent and pronunciation. I am not English or a language bigot. The Romans drained the swamps, so they understand something about Malaria other than bad air. Rome was a population sink. Cannae I pronounce like you do, not him. The Punics used symbols to make their ships like using an Ikea flat pack furniture. So what did Hannibal look like, I have seen coins of rather big nosed men, father or brother. I don't think much of Caesar, put it this way, any intelligent, violent, thug would be a good military leader. I didn't know the Romans rode Arabian horses.
    1
  165. People of color! Isn't that racist by seeing them as a color than as a person. I don't like shorts and similar formats like these TikTok videos. I believe in free speech and if people are racist in their speech or thought, what's it to me. It is what they do that's important. Some people are hopeless, and don't do well in life, and rather than improve they just go to blaming others and saying it is because they are not European. That woman wouldn't know, she's too young, what she knows is hearsay. I am Maltese and slavery ended in Malta in 1798 when Napoleon Bonaparte sailed into the Grand Harbour, and the Knights of Malta surrendered. Bigotry is wrong, racism is bigotry.

  166. There are Punic remains in Sardinia, Spain and North Africa, so it would be easy to work out their facial looks. Skin tone has to be worked out by dna studies.
    1
  167. I am a wee bit older than you. Children are protected by their parents and guardians from knowledge of those nasty events. Of course it would be said to be rare. Think of the anxiety of the Cold War, the big A bombs raining down. Dams have failed in the past, it happened in Yemen a number of times in the past: Ma'rib dam

  168. Errol Flynns father was a Marine Biologist, and I learned the word Snoek from reading a book about him.

  169. You are displaying one of the attributes of my fellow Australians that I hate, a silly sense of humor.

  170. He could of had a map of modern Egypt with circle centered in middle Egypt that encompassed the Middle East, parts of Southern Europe, North Africa, Central and East Africa and said their ancestors came from those areas.

  171. You're American. Americans speak a bastard form of English, it's all those foreigners the Swedes, Finns, Italians, Greeks, Swiss... You can write learned or learnt, it's pronounced the same same. Same with spelled and spelt, and I am not talking about the cereal. Just remember there are quite a few ways of speaking and spelling English and Americans are mostly of immigrant non English speaking ancestry and they did not learn ed English properly.
    1
  172.  @notwhatitwasbefore  No, learn ed sounds like you are some bumpkin, Jed Clampett without his oil. It is one syllable and the ed is pronounced as t not ed. Learn ed is a surname as in Michael Learned.
    1
  173. Yes, but it is more of a mind wanking exercise.
    1
  174. Yes, I understand your objections. The ultimate point is that the man got caught, and did time in prison. So, successful as he says he was, he got pinched.

  175. He is good at that. People of his background, Sociology usually are, it's part of their training. After all Sociology is an art and not science.
    1
  176. What about Schickelgruber? I don't like that censuring of breasts and genitalia, I usually stop watching. What is the point? Making breasts and genitals more salacious. Americans should try to be less parochial in their presentations: the Daly show.
    1
  177. American English is like a dialect formed by the early Colonialists coming from north of England, and from Scotland, and they learnt of their vocabulary out of books, without knowing the pronunciation. Then they had millions of Europeans immigrate to the US that knew no English. Look at how they pronounce partner as pardner, cordial as corjal, and laboratory as Labratorry.
    1
  178. She might not have been all Macedonian Greek, most likely having some ancestry from Persia and the Middle East. She also was more of an expatriate Greek coming from Greek stock not born in Greece. Think of Italian Americans and how they say Gabagool for a particular pork product and cannot speak Italian.

  179.  @pendragonsxskywalkers9518  Helen was most likely immortal.
    1
  180.  @lordmidas7279  The Cleopatra, not her predecessors, spoke the Egyptian language. Cleopatra was not wholly Greek ethnically.

  181. He probably thought the Earth is a perfect sphere, and why wouldn't he?

  182. Christians don't need the OT. All they need is the NT, the acceptance of Jesus as the messiah, the resurrection and life everlasting.
    1
  183. Most of us had heterosexual parents who had heterosexual sex even gay, lesbian, transgender or whatever type of personal activity the person choices. Of course some people are the result of a sexual act where one or both participants were not on most days, heterosexual, but that is a minority. Anyway how can colored pieces of plastic have a gender, English is not a gender based language. Il Lego, La Lego?
    1
  184. That is illogical, Spock would say. You obviously have problems with logical thinking. I say you are wrong, and you cannot separate your sexuality or wish to be another gender from your thinking, you're biased and prejudiced.
    1
  185. Muffins are brown, and that's bad and calling someone brown is bad. Get your parents to change your school. And I wouldn't have anything to do with that brown girl.

  186. Never seen the Ninja Turtles.
    1
  187. Well they say that most written languages are the product of the Phoenicians. However I am sure they had some symbols that meant something, just not a whole lot.
    1
  188. Europeans tan. Go to Sweden in their long daylight days of summer and see a lot of brown Swedes. The ability to tan does not correspond with skin tone.
    1
  189. The precession of the equinox was well known, you don't need any pyramids, it was common knowledge. The constellation that arises on March 21 has been moving backwards which is why the ancients worshipped the bull, why Jesus is associated with the Lamb.
    1
  190. There's nothing you can do about it. A large part of humanity wants to tear down those with expertise and knowledge because they don't have the expertise and knowledge but can do the tearing down. It is like the Celts going to Rome and destroying it, taking loot and booty. It is good to question things but to say everyone is lying, and they are hiding informations is just a form of paranoia. They will eventually burn themselves out and then spark themselves into action again. It's cyclical.
    1
  191. Probably his religion accepting that.

  192. Extinction is the fate of all species. How many trilobites have you seen lately?
    1
  193. It doesn't matter, Latin is dead, and has a few pronunciations, but then again, English is pronounced differently depending on country of origin, and class.
    1
  194. It is a money making decision by Youtube. The content makers are essentially sex slaves for Youtube, eventually the slave will be sent to some salt mine. I don't make content, I just watch videos, but because I am choosy what I watch, the videos I want to watch get interrupted many times so that I leave. Look if I want to watch crap, I would watch TV, and I don't watch TV.
    1
  195. Tolkien is undermining real history and real science by making wild speculations about what we know like Gobekli Tepe or the Younger Dryas or Megalithic buildings or changes in human achievement to spin doctor his speculations about very old civilizations that existed way before the Sumerians and the Egyptians and those old civilizations taught those Sumerians and Egyptians to achieve what they have achieved.
    1
  196. That isn't a theory because it cannot be shown to be true or proven or not proven. The old Greeks thought giants built gigantic walls made of huge stone blocks because they couldn't imagine how any humans could have quarried those stones, transported and placed those stones into the wall.
    1
  197. Things progress.
    1
  198. Where to?
    1
  199. Look at Akhenaten. If there is one Pharaoh most people have heard of, it's him. Efforts were made to erase him from Egyptian history, yet he lives on.
    1
  200. So that is how Praetorian is pronounced in Latin? No matter who created them, they ended up biting the hand that fed them? Those Ottoman guards, the children of Christian Balkan Europeans, turned on the Ottomans as well.
    1
  201. It is ironic that all those things we have makes us far more vulnerable than a Roman would be living in some town in Italy. We can't live without electricity or living in large cities or motor vehicles or supermarkets. I live in a small town and the first I knew of the Covid epidemic was going to the supermarket and finding it closed, and when open, nothing but empty shelves. In the 70s the oil producers started restricting their output for more money - it caused panics and chaos in the modern world. Think how difficult is was for parents to keep their children at home instead of school during the pandemic.

  202. Seems very common in America. Not blond, not pink, not blue eyed, they're admixed.
    1
  203. Why? The crusades did not win the Holy Land from the Infidels who took over from the Christians.
    1
  204. I don't care. I am not religious or a Christian. I was raised with BC/AD. It is like being upset that 0 meridian runs through Greenwich instead of Delhi. It is kind of silly since Jesus was born in BC, 4 BC, so it has been calculated.
    1
  205. Civilization existed for a long time before automobiles. And how can you live comfortably without a car, it isn't a choice, it is a necessity like having electricity and a clean water supply.

  206. Well send one to me, I am sure an Alien pie would taste nice.

  207. Mammals! You mean they were covered in fur and had multiple teats?

  208. You should be more careful with whom you mix with.

  209. The article spelled advice as advise, I am not irritated by spelling mistakes, but I note them. Maybe in American English advice noun and advise verb are the same spelling, but this is a British article. Most University students are over the age of 18, in my country a person that age is an adult. Adults are expected to be mature enough to handle topics they may not like or choose to do another topic. No place in this world is lucky enough to have zero infant mortality. I wonder how the Rape of the Sabine Women is handled in ancient Roman history and mythology. Your attitude about Politicians is cynical, it can work the other way and have negative effects on their reputation. It is the same with the University of Exeter, their stance can have negative effects, lose reputation and academic status. A bigger problem of Tertiary education is the process of dumbing down the standards of the instruction. Not everyone should have access to University.
    1
  210. Better at each other than at you.
    1
  211. It's hard to understand the vehemence. Politics and Politicians, you would expect some BS, patting their own backs, sticking knives into their opponents. It's a job, a job with a lot of perks if successful. Why else would anyone do it. I recently voted against the incumbent of my electorate in Australia because even though she is a good member of Parliament, she just moans and bitches, and never criticizes herself or her political affiliations. I got tired of all these I'm right, they're wrong stuff.

  212. I am old, in my day Lego was pieces of metal.

  213. Not every thing that written is fact. A lot of it is rubbish. Herodotus wrote a lot of rubbish.
    1
  214. What you are saying is fact, the disciples of Hancock don't care about facts, they are lies and dissembling.
    1
  215. Actually six in NZ English, well, the most popular accent, is not the word you indicated but more like sux. They do something strange to the a. Otherwise they sound sort of Australian, a drunk Australian maybe. Yes, I am Australian.

  216. Well, Japanese wear Western clothing most of the time, unless it is the Lone Wolf and baby cart.

  217. The incest is just an explantion about how two ethnic groups came into existence. Obviously, those two ethnic groups were not well liked.

  220. At least Caesar wasn't shot by a gun or by arrow, unlike that man martyred by the Romans, Sebastian, I saw so many of those arrow shot Sebastian in Italy. Malaria in the desert?
    1
  221. A bald head! I thought Italian cuisine is regional. I went to a hole in the wall eatery in Napoli and the menu was mussels, mussels and mussels. I had something called Risotto alla Milanese in Milan. This dish is took labor intensive for me. I cannot see the point of making my own pasta or chicken stock, I would rather pay an expert to make those for me. People these days don't have hours to spare to prepare food.
    1
  222. I didn't know the Gauls spoke French or Italian.
    1
  223. Do you despise it because it is wrong or because you are an acolyte of Hancock's. Those people you despise are, guess what, humans, and flawed. I am sure they upbraid themselves when they are mocking, deriving or shouting rather than being controlled. Personally I have never seen any of what you just said. Shouting?

  224. Their arms and legs are oddly proportioned and sometimes their eyes are oddly place on their heads.

  225. They used the Nile as transport, and built canals close to where the pyramids were being built.

  226. There could have been some Black people there. People move across oceans, over mountains, and across deserts.

  227. Sounds like granny Americanize the dish. Now I have to make this dish for Sunday dinner, I will follow the more original recipe.

  228. And brought us closer to extinction. Humans would collapse without those loads of stuff. Can you imagine the billions of humans going back to hunting and gathering?

  229. All ancient writing wasn't about warning, it was accounting, business transactions, who owns what.
    1
  230. Keep you shirt on. I am one of those people who would injure myself and mortally injure others if I tried to use one of those David's sling. I don't as a rule watch your weapons videos, I am a sniper and ambush type, maybe bow and arrow, not slings and armor and weapons.
    1
  231. I live in Australia and it exists, and it's multicultural and multi ethnic, there are even Italians here.
    1
  232. Naples. It's a hellhole. Luckily I went to Pompeii ages ago when frescoes were still in good shape. I don't know why uncover these ruins only to expose them to the weather.
    1
  233. The Middle East where those Astrological ideas came from, was in contact with Egypt, and those ancients did not have TV or Youtube, so they looked at the stars.
    1
  234. Academics do the same thing with other academics. So why not? Look, it depends how you correct someone whether academic or not. I don't as a rule do not correct anyone. I hear mispronunciations quite often like Pompei, but I let it ride. When I was in Tertiary Education I did not like having to cite sources. It annoyed me because learned as those people were, they are still mostly opinions based on correlations. Of course citing sources is the right approach, but it still irks me. Paradigms as used by you comes from a boring book on science by a Thomas Kuhn. I aged reading that book.
    1
  235. I don't know, it depends on opinion. He looks sort of golden, not dark tan which looks like the color of brown shoe polish.
    1
  236. It could be the definition of civilization. It has to do with cities and writing. Maybe advanced human cultures. What caused ancient humans to go into caves to paint lions, bison, rhinoceros, wild horses, and why was there a sudden change in their stone tools? Hancock's ancient people were quite mean in not sharing things like the wheel and domesticating bovines and horses for moving the good by cart.

  237. I have only heard people use jackshit in Australia, but you are right and can be extended to most of the world.

  239. No. Well I won't be watching.
    1
  240. I believe everyone can talk about history as it belongs to all of us. You don't have to be an expert, and experts can have opinions and views that cannot be substantiated. Take the Moors, I don't consider them to be Black Africans just because large group of people say they were as the Moors set off by ships from Africa. I feel concern for that man because of his mental processes and his agitated state.

  241. I don't know. The man is English, but Kevin is a name favored by Irish Catholics. He's probably more Irish than English in ancestry.

  246. Whatever happened to the idea that the star Sirius was supposed to shine on the Pharaoh's face, or his death mask, in order for him to ascend to meet the God Osiris? I am sure that if you asked one of the workers on that pyramid he'ld say, dunno mate, it just a job for the governor.
    1
  247. Yes, but seconds, minutes and hours were invented by the Sumerians. Everything about Egypt is 2nd hand, their agriculture was from Asia, their domestic animals from Asia.

  248. Maybe they do know it all. Europeans generally like to express themselves without having to kowtow and kiss arse.

  249. I don't eat cereals out of boxes.

  250.  @troyelam8978  Berbers are not Arabs whatever that means as some Sudanese call themselves Arabs and they are black skinned, and others called themselves Arabs like Palestinians who are not Black Africans. You are very rude, and there's nothing stopping you going to live in the Congo. Go on, get.

  251. Usually red is used for the left, and blue for the right. Totalitarianism is the same whatever its followers like to call it as it results in the loss of freedom, the loss of free speech and the production of a type of paranoia.

  252. Central heating makes living in northern climes comfortable otherwise it would be unbearable with lots of pollution from coal and wood fires, and wearing thick clothing indoors. You live in the US, lived in Japan, those countries get very cold, very wet, and extremely humid an hot in summer. Indeed the Mediterranean region is mild, well barring parts of the Balkans, and the mountainous areas.

  254. It wouldn't be possible on this planet. The microorganisms that produced the Oxygen as a waste product would be killed with that much waste around them. It is like Yeast and alcohol content in the various Alcoholic beverages.

  255. Well, mostly, but he made a few whoppers.
    1
  256. What do you mean? There are two pronunciations of the word. I go with the one that sounds better to my ears.
    1
  257. I don't understand the usage, what added meaning does it give to a person who is a slave? What's wrong with using the word slave? Surely it is not because the word slave means an African with dark skin from West Africa that was taken to the Western Hemisphere? It is weird either way.

  258. It is satire, it was not meant to be realistic.

  260. It isn't assumption, it is how you learn to write. In Classical Arabic the abjad for the word to write is KTB.

  261. North Africans are not West Asian, it is indigenous to North Africa. They do have European ancestry, how they got it, you could make a few guesses. Yes have have sub Saharan ancestry.

  262. Tyrannosaurus josephsmithus

  263. That's the problem with using Black or African. The name Africa comes from a Berber tribe in Tunisia not Namibia. The name of Asia comes from western Anatolia not Japan.
    1
  264. And the head fell off and shattered so they replaced it with a Pharaoh's head.
    1
  265. Well, I guess so. They probably didn't exist then, Egyptians. There probably a lot of ethnic groups moving in and out of the area that is now Egypt. In Australia a lot of people don't know their grandparents, let alone their ancient forebears. Saying that the Aborigines have stories of the rise of sea level 10 kya, and their ancestors having to move inland from the coast.

  269. I understand your Italian, but the Pope I can't understand a lot. Yes I can hear dove, just a few words. Look, the man can say what he likes. You are right about Christianity, you have to accept Jesus is the messiah, and that he was resurrected. For me, I have my own beliefs which isn't Christianity, so I don't really care one way or other. I wonder why the Pope said what he said, I mean he is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Maybe he accepts the maxim, Live and let live, don't fight.
    1
  270. Maybe the Irish or Scandinavians, but I believe Americans consider Northern Europeans to be White, and the rest Mediterraneans like Greek.
    1
  271. Sad that there are PHDs on such garbage topics. Look, I have biases, I don't understand what they are talking about, it's mumbo jumbo to me. Vampires, what a topic. I read Bram Stoker's book. Very boring, lots of journal writing. The Dracula preferred the dark, the night, he travelled in a coffin with soil in it. Who's seen Nosferatu? I have, but it is a crude and old films, rather laughable. Look these people live off making a mountain out of a molehill. I think it is fair enough for the Vampire concept to evolve. I mean who to say it should be frozen, it is a fantasy character.

  272. You don't have to call them male or female just their names. And homosexuals, male and females, also insert "things" into each other.

  273.  @sazr9569  I don't agree. I have heard French people, Danish people and other mainland Europeans using American English pronunciation. American English is unibiquous, and what annoys me, American spelling. Even when Americans ape British English, they mispronounce words like master, ask, fourish...
    1
  274.  @dustybrand  Mike Myers parents were British immigrants to Canada. I can pronounce Italian words correctly but why should I? I live in Australia not Italy.
    1
  275.  @Killingglorie  No offence, Australian spelling, but his British accent is common, sort of like an English person speaking in Boston English or Brooklyn English. No offence to anyone from Boston or Brooklyn.
    1
  276.  @eddiel7635  It depends where you learn English. Indian people learn English from Indians who learnt it from Indians. Listen to Indian people speaking English, it is peculiar. Mainland Europeans learn English from their compatriots, not native English speakers, and then their is the Internet dominated by American English.
    1
  277.  @DandoPorsaco-ho1zs  Not no reason. Different languages have their own stress, and methods of pronunciation. Spanish has its own, German its own, so who are you to question how people speak their native language in their native countries.
    1
  278.  @dustybrand  It is correct in American English, Danny De Vito is American not Italian, it isn't correct in Italian. It has to do with the pronunciation of the a. Italian vowels are not English vowels.

  279. The Sphinx could have been built over and over. Egypt has a tough climate, and the stones seem to suck whatever moisture there is in the foundations into it. Stonehenge was a mess before the collapsed stones were raised again and cap stones placed on top. The point is its age cannot be proven to everyone's satisfaction, hence the speculation.

  280. They think they are super tolerant because they like women to be men, and men to be women, and tell Black Africans what they want to hear, and not the real history of Africa.

  283. His cousin is his punching bag.

  284. He was a true African as the area called Africa was in NW Africa and the name was extended to the continent, so Nigerians and African Americans are sort of naturalized Africans not true born Africans.

  288. You think so. Those Egyptians worshiped everything, so you can say they were rather religious or superstitious.

  289. As the actor said in the Indiana Jones movie, if you want truth go see Reverend, Archaeology deals with fact and evidence not the Truth. It isn't logical, a rational group of assumptions, but there is no logic in there. Plausible is plausible, it don't make it true and correct.

  291. I think that Graham becoming a Sociologist was very upsetting to his parents, and he carries a lot of guilt and an inferiority complex.

  292. Okay. A lot of people would have long term PTSD from having a gun shoved in their face. There are some things that only God can forgive. And I hated his no class accent. It is obvious he's from the bottom of the barrel.

  294. Well, you have to face it, humans are very tribal. What changes are which tribe. And bigotry is sort of inherent, but is usually kept under control by rational thinking. There will be people who will see you as an East Asian no matter what.
    1
  295. To be fair, many people think Africa means Black people. The word African means a continent of Black people. That is the way it goes. Black Americans who are admixed naturally like to think Africa is just full of Negroes, and anyone not Black African is an immigrant. Africa doesn't have a lot to put it in the history books except the Egyptian civilization.

  296. I guess they pronounce the anglicized spelling of Pompey, as written in English. Well Julius Caesar, Octavian, Cato, Cicero are all done the same way. So we can't complain. I think it's a disservice to those people, but they are dead and can't express their displeasure.

  301. That's a simple bunch of thoughts. Don't you think those damn tombs were robbed or the mummies removed to be stored somewhere safer but without their gold and jewels. Personally I would demolish those pyramids and that ugly Sphinx as well.
    1
  302. My knowledge come from films. You have done reactions to Gladiator, maybe do reactions to the way Samurai are depicted on film.
    1
  303. It is likely that a statue of the Sphinx made when the constellation of Leo came up at the equinox on March 21st probably fell down due to salt, water penetration, sand blasting, the temperature day and night, summer and winter causing spalling, so it was rebuilt much later. Even Stonehenge was just a heap of stones before it was put back together.
    1
  304. True, its melted gold value will be a lot less that leaving it intact. Criminals are known to be on the stupid side. It could be back in Romania, something like the Stone of Scone was stolen and taken back to Scotland.
    1
  305. I don't have any hypotheses on the Pyramids, I have no need to explain or speculate. The point is why does he, and why do you? Honestly the pyramids are just a pile of rocks to me, nothing more, nothing spooky.

  306. You're right, I was there mate.

  307. Yes but voting isn't mandatory in your country.

  308. Maybe I am ignorant but the Irish never made contact with those old Romans and old Greeks, so they can't be Barbarians. I believe they raided Britain and took a Welshmen into slavery who later converted to Christianity, but they were just pests. The Scotti came from Ireland, but it was the native Britons in England that had most contact with the Romans. The Germans, well, there's no quibbling, they are nothing but Barbarians.

  309. Belzoni the strongman, and born again Egyptologist is just like Schliemann, after gold and wealth. And so is Hancock.

  314. Man, I will not be watching.
    1
  315. That is one way to put it. I am into free speech. Hancock is entitled to come up with any ideas he wants to, and gather his willing flock, but it also means he can be criticized. If he and his flock say the experts are lying to us, they are hiding the truth. Then you know he and his flock have no evidence or facts to back what he believes, his ideas. Cults educate their members to do the same. Who knows we can have the start of a new religion: Church of Hancock. It has been done successfully do a Sci Fi writer not all that long ago.
    1
  316. It's about accuracy, not racism, and having an olive, white or black skin tone isn't racist. You are a wee bit too sensitive about the topic of skin pigmentation, and the Egyptians whatever their color weren't White or Black as one's race has to do with lots of things than just your integument. I am sure their plenty of sand to hide your head in if you want to avoid life.
    1
  317. My guess is they are blaming all their shortcomings on having a certain look that isn't European. I always find it odd that any European who isn't WASP looking is considered raced mixed with Black Africans.

  320. Haplogroups don't make people White. There are a large percentage of African American men with haplogroups that track back to Ireland or Germany, they still are not European Whites.

  321. That dog probably has black skin under its white fur.
    1
  322. I wasn't expecting that accent from that face. Predators stalking prey won't be making much noise. Crichton was a scientist, so he made guesses based on his science knowledge. A theory is science language is different from the colloquial theory, which is a set of ideas based on conjecture. What they should use is theorem.
    1
  323. People don't suddenly change on the precession of the Equinoxes, they keep some of the old images for some time. Take Jesus, he was born when the constellation Pisces was at Equinox, and the fish was used by Christians as a symbol of Jesus, but so was the Lamb, and the aspect of a shepherd guarding his flock.
    1
  324. If there was, wonderful. If there wasn't wonderful. It really does nothing to advance our lives either way. What is the gain for Hancock with his ideas? I am rather suspicious of his motives.

  325. Interesting, a European with vitiligo.

  326. Yes the Aliens thing had something to do with the humans thing, but also cowardliness.

  327. Not really. Everyone is brainwashed, but it might be seen as positive like a belief in an Abrahamic religion or the democratic system or Conservative values on the economy, education, and the rule of law.

  332. Reminds me of the old Wool Board in Australia trying to convince people to wear woollen garments. It didn't work. You can wear padded cotton garments, and they keep you quite warm, East Asians managed quite well without wool.

  333. Sure, you can do what you like without being bullied for your choices. I have checked out Nerdrotic and the Scottish accent bloke before when looking for Star Wars content, but I quickly stopped. They are way too negative, and toxic for me. I block channels that annoy me, and I have blocked theirs. Good luck to them, I hope venting their spleens helps them in their private lives which is more important than YT channels.

  334. You should mourn because she is now dead, and move on.

  335. In Islam there are similar stories, I don't know if it is similarly from some Akkadian myths, or something for those towns which would not submit, Islam, to the new religion. You would think that the sites of those towns would have signs about them and considered taboo. About the Akkadian language, I understood nisu, which means people, that's all. Yes the Indigenous Australians do have stories back a sudden rise in sea level, they have no concept of when it occurred. A long time ago for them is in my grandfathers' grandfathers time.
    1
  336. Why are the planets and the sun in our Solar system, spheres? And the Earth is flat? I really don't like looking at shaven headed men, they look freaky. Extinction is the fate of all living things, one day there will be no more humans. An oxygen atmosphere took millions of years to form, it was produced my microorganisms as a waste product. Oxygen, the molecule, O2, is not toxic, but to form oxygen, the single atom, O, is toxic, it's an antioxidant.
    1
  337. I am Australian, and I will tell you frankly that if I ever live in the USA it will be in New Hampshire or some other WASP state. I don't have anything against anyone, but I don't want to be hassled or feel uncomfortable.
    1
  338. Black does mean Black Africa to most people. It is how it is. The Sahara existed when the Phoenicians moved to NW Africa, it isn't the time of a green Sahara. Herodotus was wrong as the Phoenicians came from the land of the Levant. Herodotus was often wrong because he relied on hearsay or scuttlebutt. The guy sounds like he is just an Afrocentrist but being a little fairer than most, but the reference to the Phoenicians being from Eritrea shows that, the implication they were dark skinned Africans from NE Africa.
    1
  339. It isn't ancient. Coptic languages are much altered from old Egyptian, and even Egyptian changed over time when Egyptian was spoken and not a liturgical language.
    1
  340. China has been hacking since the 1990s, and there have been incidents of hacking into Government mainframes. There are the Chinese Smart Phones. I live in Oz and I don't use Tik Tok as I am easily annoyed by frivolous content. I don't like Youtube shorts for instance. The best thing where possible is to live off the grid as much as possible because every app, everything like Youtube or Google is doing its tracking thing. Ban Tik Tok? No, let it be. Tell people the problems of using the app and let them decide. Governments are not nannies, ninnies maybe, but not nannies.
    1
  341. I would like to go to a time when some places were without human inhabitants, Mauritius before it was discovered by Europeans, so I can see an actual Dodo or New Zealand before the Maoris, maybe collect Moa feathers to make a cloak or Madagascar before the Austronesian speakers from Borneo arrived to see the wide variety of Madagascan animals like the Elephant Bird. The only other thing would be to make dictionaries of languages not known today, and to decipher the writing that remain indecipherable today.

  342. Jack shit, I thought it an Australian saying. Interesting thanks. My my sort of humor and it would annoy after 3 videos, but I can see a lot of work was done to make the video.

  343. Europe a baby compared with Egypt. And who else was in Egypt before the Egyptians? Those people you refer to are different European ethnic groups, and cultures.
    1
  344. Aifrican elephants are not easily trained, unlike Asian elephants. On coins depicting war elephants they are always Asian, at least by the size of their ears.

  345. I cannot stand Shorts which is why I block them.
    1
  346. Mr. Elliott is one odd looking fellow. Reminds me of a frog. Very common accent that woman has, Caesar did fight in Britain once he managed to land in Britain. That Emperor was African because he was born in Africa, near the land of the first Africans a Berber tribe in Tunisia. The second portrait was darkened, a bit suss. Mr. Elliott has lost my respect because he is mistaking being African with being Black African like some Nigerian or Kenyan. Black Africans do not look like that, the beard, the hair. Look, if people want to think this man is a Black African, okay, they are still wrong, but what they believe is what they believe.
    1
  347. Semitic languages use tri consonantal roots, and it doesn't change, for example KTB refers to writing, and nouns and verbs can be made from those roots but adding vowel sounds between the consonants, and some suffixes, and prefixes. You really don't need vowels, but over time the vowels change, so that is how the languages change, the tri consonantal root doesn't change.
    1
  348. Well the Lion's head is speculation because the head looks small on the body. Never noticed myself, I am not into that sort of art. There are plenty of Lion statues on many public buildings and you could just go to a stone mason and buy one. Of course size seems to be an issue for you.
    1
  349. Yes, funny, but that is from a man who loves armor, weapons of all sorts. If he lived out his fantasy, his life would be short too.
    1
  350. Race isn't about skin color except in the USA. That man is a bigot because for him White excludes lots of people who are not of European origin from the Northwest Europe. That is why West Eurasian is used because it excludes the notion that some peoples have of what a White person is. And Jesus was West Eurasian.
    1
  351. The point is to do the punching. Comfort is important to me. How would those helmets help with an arrow to the face? Personally close quarter fighting is asking for injury, pain and death.
    1
  352. I have a problem with finding decent and recent studies of ancient dna. What I get is a lot of agendas, people who want certain ancients to the Nordic Whites or Black Africans. Sometimes you cannot tell from the thumbnail. It's so annoying. AI voices are common, no human face behind the channel. Another problem is the supposed aliens that spawned all these ancient peoples.
    1
  353. Samurai films are a favorite on mine, but the type of swords used and the fighting style are not of interest. For example, Okami itto, the Lone Wolf and Baby Cart, uses a certain style, and his one on one opponets uses another style, it means nothing to me. I have to say that it is annoying that Americans of non European backgroup have to tell you often that they are America. I understand he looks like a Korean, George Takei looks Japanese and Razib Khan looks Indian, but stop repeating I'm American. Just stick on your gravestone.
    1
  354. In most of below Sahara Africans their skin is quite dark, its consistent except in places admixed with ancient Middle Eastern farmers. It has something to do with the West African Neolithic Bantu speaking farmers that settled all over the south of the Sahara Africa.
    1
  355. Or more simply, that all English speakers are of English ancestry. You cannot say that even of Australians, Americans and Canadians.
    1
  356. No one could possibly know that. It is just imaginative claptrap. Women do a lot of gatherering, and will catch small animals, but not a large animal. Women are not that good at throwing spears even with a spear thrower.
    1
  357. And an expert.
    1
  358. That's okay as their nickname Pompey has nothing to do with Pompei the man.

  359. Fair enough. Humans like their meanlinless structures, they are called follies.

  360. It isn't a theory, it is a bunch of ideas.

  361. Who? You are throwing Nasturtiums around. Name them. You say they have no clue. Just come out and enlighten us.

  362. How old was Julius Caesar when he was literally stabbed in the back?
    1
  363. Tolerant or they just ignored it as long as it wasn't their son. I think the emphasis on male homosexuality in old Greece is exaggerated, it's like an obsession with some folk, even those painted scenes on pots. I guess any sort of sex sells.
    1
  364. Western Europe has gone down the crapper. It's all the immigration of aliens from outside Europe. The UK is okay to live in as long as you stay away from large populations centers, the mass media, bastardized universities.
    1
  365. Hannibal and Cleopatra.
    1
  366. That's only one ancestor out of many.
    1
  367. I have never seen the actor Brian Blessed without a beard, and it's the same type of beard. It isn't the existence of Jesus that is questioned, it's his godhood, it is easier to go for for Jesus didn't exist than his godhood. My idea is that Jesus had black hair, tan skin, black beard, looked Middle Eastern, but blue eyed. Blue eyes are not uncommon among West Eurasians, and being Middle Eastern does not mean being a negro or a South Asian or some South Pacific Islander i.e Black. That man is biased. Baldness is a West Eurasian thing, not just European or some type of Jewish man. Jeffrey Hunter was American, Max von Sydow was Swedish, so what British Jesus.
    1
  368. The appearance thing was a loaded question and probably came from someone who is in one of the camps, the White or the Black. He knows that the question is loaded so he avoided it, it is only natural. Yes cowardly, but someone who relies on a specialized employment as he does, he has to watch his back. Being called names is different from being banned from his employment. The problem of using Black is that lots of people are dark skinned enough to be called Black. In Africa, the different regions have there own Black people, in Egypt's case it is Ethiopia and the Sudan, and the ethnic groups there are Black, but different from other Africans who happens to be black.
    1
  369. Slavery was common and not just Black slaves. The old Egyptians wanted gold from Nubia, and slaves. Why not? They probably had Levantine slaves, Libyan slaves and bought European slaves.
    1
  370. Look, the pyramids could be basically rubble with a stone exterior and passage ways.
    1
  371. The news is for entertainment. Unfortunately most children accept all their told especially about religion. In our relationships we all want that one life long spousal relationship, when humans are not actually monogamous, they just train themselves to be, and shut out others.
    1
  372. It refers to mountains, the TransCaucasus and the CisCaucasus. They stole it for something that had nothing to do with sex, preference, choice of gender. Thieves.

  373. I am wondering what possible positive that equation if that is what that is, has on human life on this planet. Unless you have found a way of making wormholes to move humans from here to the great beyond.

  374. Humans are the only animal that cannot live on its own. Without a group and society, humanity would die out.

  375. Well they should change the Moor of Venice to the Black man of Venice as he was no Moor.
    1
  376. I thought the Sphinx was older because of Astrological iconography. Sphinx a body of a lion, so constellation Leo. The bull Apis represents the constellation of Taurus, and the usage of the Ram as Ra, represents the constellation of Aries. Look at Jesus with the lamb Of course this could all be coincidental. When in academia you have to be prepared to be scrutinized and even derided, science runs on paradigms and questioning paradigms can arouse a lot of anger. So Graham Hancock says some things which can be rational, the precession he is talking about is the precession of the equinoxes. The Spinx's head being a lion's head is conjecture. Graham Hancock uses a lot of natural things, then runs with it with his ideas. He says the Giza plateau, it's a plateau, a flat area, now that sounds like a good place to build the Sphinx and Pyramids. Erosion of rock depends on the type of stone. Hills can be leveled even in ancient times. Usually I don't listen to Graham Hancock, he has a lot of problems with things he doesn't like. Pyramids were a waste to time and money as tombs since they were robbed soon after they were finished complete with sarcophagus and mummy. I want to thank the Sumerians for the seconds, minutes and hours, and the degrees that Hancock mentioned.

    1
  391. Well people mix everywhere they settle. So the Phoenicians mixed with Berbers and with Europeans, lots of Europeans lived in Carthage.
    1
  392. The so called Queen's chamber.
    1
  393. Yes, I guess. There are some questions that no living person or previous living persons can answer. The Egyptians painted many people pulling a large weight. Is that how it was done, it is unanswerable. A good answer is I don't know, rather than speculating and coming up with a lot of weird and not so wonderful answers.
    1
  394. I can tell you why. They are sick to death of a bunch of inane foreigners coming into these old monuments to damage them with their bodily secretions so they can downplay the role of real Egyptians building those monuments. What if I can into your yard and stuffed around trying to prove Pocahontas was a Grey Alien.
    1
  395. What you are saying is those with special interests in their work field are better than people with mediocre abilities with academic qualifications. Sort of like Mr. Faraday with electricity and its applications. There is nothing wrong with higher education but we in the West have gone too humanistic and egalitarian and made it a thing for everyone regardless of ability and interest. I suppose you can have a bunch of dwarfs playing basketball, so why not a bunch of average so and so s doing Organic chemistry.

  400. Youtube should act with some discretion, and not their bank account. Politics is a field that they should choose another venue to advertise, not Youtube. Often times I will stop watching a video if I don't like the ads, I mean how much does the video maker get out of it compared with Youtube with their tasteless often repeated ads.

  403.  @FinrodFelagundTheFair  Well we don't know his pedigree. He could be wholly of Middle Eastern Levantine origin or he could be mixed with Berbers and Europeans. North Africa has received movements from the Near East, Anatolia, and Europe.

  406. Egypt is a time bomb especially for someone living in the Western Hemisphere, and Western Europe who depends on paid employment, health care and superannuation. I blame the Americans for their goddamn slavery based on using Negroes from Africa that has give rise to a lot of mixed African Americans who think all of Africa is Negro, all the achievements of people around the Mediterranean is by Negroes, the ancient Levantines and the Hebrews are Negroes.
    1
  407. R1b isn't really European in origin and immigrants from the Eurasian Steppes brought R1b into Western Europe. Mummies are desiccated and treated with lots of chemicals, it would turn anyone's hair red by oxidized the black melanin.
    1
  408. I tell you something, my opinion, haplogroup E is not of African origin. Haplogroup A and B are African in origin. Haplogroup E originated in Eurasia, just as it is common in Africa, big deal, R1b, R1a originated in the Steppes between Europe and Asia, but are very common in West Europe and East Europe.
    1
  409. To many people like this woman, I won't honor her with a name, think everyone in Africa are Black Africans known as Negroes. African means like the name Sudan, the land of the Blacks. So Egypt, Libya, and NW African are located in Africa, to her it means those countries were inhabited by Black Africans from the beginning of time. Anyone who is not Black African in Africa are immigrants. Her attitude towards Sicilian Italians is just backward and racist.

  414. So! There is a thing called observation bias, and in archaeology, there is a bias towards Egypt. And since when is hieroglyphics and cuneiform writing? Some Middle Eastern Joe said,"Look and you will find". I am sure if they looked in other parts of the world ancient symbols can be found that could be interpreted as writing.
