To everyone: Religion and a belief in something more has always been a huge part human life because there was so little we knew about the why and how of the universe and earth. Religion and spiritual belief gave us answers to things we didn’t understand, so usually, yeah a lot of archeological finds are connected to religion, symbolism and spiritualism.
@Joyride3721 күн бұрын
This is more of a philosophical pondering: now that we know way more about the world and how it actually works, and speaking VERY generally here, organized religion is on the decline bc strict belief in supernatural explanations for, say, the weather or where we come from, are no longer complicit with our current scientific knowledge. (Or if a particular religion is on the rise or people identify with it in a casual sense, it may often be due to the ethnic/tribal/community identity it brings rather than any attachment to the actual beliefs. Excluding the people where the actual beliefs matter to them bc that’s still a motivation for them obviously) However, in a sense, our brains need religion or some kind of spiritual/religious ritual customs and the community around it, because of the way we evolved and how our societies developed (we’re deeply social creatures and particular set of religious beliefs/spirituality is a better community unifier than solely intellectual bonds, though those can make communities too) Japan has an interesting culture around that, where in practice beliefs aren’t exactly necessary in Shinto and Buddhism, but ritual is deeply ingrained in the culture. It makes me wonder what the future will bring for various religions. I’m not a “religion is terrible and we all should just stop having it” bc it serves a genuine function for our community health, even if some are very flawed or have an ugly history at times. Or currently cause harm in some way in addition to whatever positive impact it has. But I do think we’re in a time of flux where the people who find identity with religious groups, or take comfort in the beliefs or motivation to be a good person, may feel out of sorts wondering what the future or place is now. And the people who don’t affiliate themselves with a particular religion also feel out of sorts in a different way, bc communities may be harder to find or more specific to a singular hobby or interest The archaeological record of now is gonna be very interesting 1000 years from now

Circse, Circle, Church, Nome, Grove, Synagogue, Basilica, Temple, Vatican. It's all a reference to the Great Mother, Asherah, Ashoura, Ashura, Kythera, Anat, Pipitunaka, Amaru, etc The Great Dragon or Serpent 🐍 representing Hydra, which appeared at Saturnalia One Megalithic hour is 240 minutes, or 14,400 seconds (1/4) There are 6 Megalithic hours to the day, each made up of 6 minutes, each of which is 6 seconds long. If the Megalithic hour was divided into 60 minutes, each would be 1,440 of our seconds, times 100 is 144,000. One Megalithic second is 400 of our modern seconds, divided by 60 (to get minutes) is 6.6666666.... 360 ÷ 6.66 is 54 54 x 2 is 108 108 x 2 is 216 To effect this the hands on a clock count out 10 (units of 6) x 10 (units of 6) × 4 (=400 units of 6). Therefore the relationship of the Megalithic second to our current form is mathematically proportional to the ratio between the Sun and Moon. A Megalithic second is 6.66 minutes (400 seconds). A Megalithic Minute is 40 minutes, or 2,400 seconds. 6 x 6 x 6 x 400 = 86,400, the number of seconds in a day. This would mean a clock with 216 seconds would go around 40 times in a day (2160 x 400). This means 1 Megalithic second is 6.66 of our modern minutes, meaning their metric system is based on the Full Moon, of which 360 fit into to the night sky, and 720 will encircle the globe, divided by half gives us the 360 degree circle, and the basis for our present based sixty or seximal system of time. Which is why 1 degree of Arc on the Moon = 100 Megalithic Yards (2700ft). This means the Beast, the hidden hand of the Masonic fraternity, is the Moon; and Time. The white limestone covering of the Pyramids denotes the Pale Moon in Megalithic Ireland, like at New Grange, where Enoch describes a Crystal Palace illuminated by the Full Moon every 19 years. 6 x 6 x 6 is 216, there are 2160 years in an astrological age, and the Moon is 2160 miles in diameter, the solar metonic calendar using 60 6 day weeks produces 1 extra day every 216 years. There are also 216 Megalithic seconds in a day, and 216 letters in the name of the Hebrew God, Just as Solomon has 36 or 72 scrolls, and Muhammed speaks of 72 sects. Enoch also buries 36,525 scrolls, the number of days in a year, times 100. This shows that our current measure of time is based on the principle of 1/6, the basis of an Egyptian Royal Cubit, which effects the arc of a Pendulum like that in a Grandfather Clock, the Sun also does this in the sky over the seasons. But first, they built the first ring at Stonehenge, which is 100 metres (330 ft) wide, with an area of 2160 square feet, a Cube's interior angles also add up to... 2160! This produces a Calendar of 60 6 day weeks plus five. Every 4th year a 366th day makes exactly 61 weeks. This is the basis of the Olympics, to mark a Leap Year, starting with the first Full Moon of the Summer Solstice. This means every 216 years this calendar produces 1 extra day, so after 648 years 3 days must be removed. This is when the Phoenix arrived, and stepped onto the Alter of Ra or Holy Grail, completing the Metonic cycle and bringing the Calendar back into sync with the first New Moon of the Spring equinox. The Capstone of the Pyramid is even called the Benben Stone, the Egyptian Phoenix is called the Bennu. It likely relates to Deneb, in Ophiuchus, the 13th Starsign of the Zodiac. The base of the Pyramid is exactly 13 Acres, as is Teotihuacan, because they share the exact same base dimensions. Such a location would be ideal for calculating the speed of light using the transit of Venus. Incidentally the Great Pyramid's Latitudinal coordinates are the speed of light. 1440 ÷ 108 = 13.333333 11 and 3 are the most sacred Celtic numbers of royalty, and also happen to be the proportions of the Earth to the Moon, and the Great Pyramid. The starsigns also precess 1 degree every 72 years 72 x 3 is 216 2160 ÷ 648 is 3.3333333 The Aztec Calendar also begins with a double transit of Venus, in 3116BC, and ended with one on June 5 2012. The double headed Phoenix. This whole code can be encrypted into a single Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 666 by 630, by 216, this is the Key of Solomon, 33 is the inverse of 66. 100 is the "perfect number" because it represents Ten (6 unit) metrics times ten 6 unit metrics: a unit being 6.66 ie 60 x 60 (3600) the number of Arcdegree seconds in a second, or a one second unit on a clock the size of Earth This means seconds represent 10ths of the Moon; 216, or 6 x 6 x 6 (100 ÷ 6 ÷ 6 = 2.7): Euler's number, and the number of feet to a Megalithic Yard, 3/11 is .27 and the number of days in a sidereal month is also 27. 11/3 is 3.66, the number of days in a Canicular leap year, the character of Thoth, Cuchulainn, and Kukulkan, the Dog Star of the Dog days of Sirius, in Assyria, and the star by which the Sothic (Seth) Calendar is determined. Thoth was the Son of Seth, who is portrayed as a Serpent. 3 x 11 is 33, the # of years in a 'Great Solar Return'. As the Sun and Moon inhabit their respective houses of the Zodiac they animate the character within, playing out the dramas and battles we know as myths, for example the Moon traveling through each of the Zodiac houses each month, for a grand total of... 144 (12 x 12) This is why at every Megalithic site we find Theatres, like in "Nazereth" and Gobekli Tepe and Poverty Point, as well as in New Zealand. Metatron/Enoch/Echnaton/Arkenaten's Cube is 13 circles in a Star of David: 13 x 360 is 4680 4680 ÷ 216 is 21.666.. The circumference of the Earth in Nautical Miles is 21,600 This means the basis of the Nautical Mile is the Moon. Calculate the Circumference of the Earth in kms by multiplying the Diameter of the Moon by 18.6, the period of a Metonic Cycle in years to get 40,175.

@@Uncanny_MountainThis is a lot of gnostic nephilim dmt shit. The Bible explicitly lays out that the serpent/dragon (likely a fallen seraphim) is a deceiver and the enemy of mankind who has basically been defeated by Jesus Christ (seed of the woman who crushes the serpent's head although the serpent bites his heel). It is weak now. Also, Enoch was righteous and taken up to Heaven. If he was later deified, wasn't his fault people are desperate to find anything but the actual creator to worship. No true professing Christian is worshipping a weak demon dragon coughing up its last fiery breaths. It is literally the dragon that gets stabbed through in Revelation. Not worthy.

Archeology cliché incoming: It didn’t fracture at the weakest point during use, right at the hafting hole where the stone is thinnest and most susceptible to shock, and any lateral stresses would be transferred from the handle to the head during a mis-struck blow. Instead it was… ceremonially… broken because “we are finding so many fractured mace heads.” Archeologists in 10,000 years will have fun deciphering the dog grooming brushes, the handles of which I have snapped at their thinnest point in the past year as I pulled them (un-ceremonially) through the coat of our freakishly large Bernadoodle. I keep them because I can still use them by grasping the back, so I expect they will be deposited together when I eventually decide to throw them in the rubbish. Must be ritual, no doubt.

It's easier to dismiss things we can't understand as ancient people creating "temples" for "ceremonies" or illogical extreme burials rather than consider the real original usage of a structure. Just like we do, the ancient people built water gathering, filtration and transport systems, sewage systems, fertilizer and other chemical processing plants, cold storage facilities, grain storage, irrigation systems or retaining walls. They used lightning rods and knew that currents could pass through rock and so on but religious archaeologists just project it was all built out of fear of "God" or worship of some supernatural entity.

Thank you for sharing a lot of interesting information about British history. Except for one thing. Horses for a long time were often being demanded from local peasants to be shipped to any war front. Nomadic shepherds and peasants were not often being the horse killers. Like the number of horses which got shipped overseas across the Atlantic ocean during the Polish-Russian war. That had nothing at all to do with killing horses just for the horse meat. The large city called Edmonton, Alberta Canada in some neighborhoods have been built on top of some very large obsolete now old coal mine tunnels which were built that city maintenance crews are sometimes finding to be more than just a little bit problematic now that climate change is happening which makes flooding more of a possibility. A lot of the coal miners who used to work in them may have been from Asian ancestory, Metis/Irish ancestry, or they could have been adopted indigenous orphans. Later on maybe Jewish forced migrants too.

Why is this such an irritable comment section? You have an extensive complex of buildings with signs of enormous feasts, but lacking signs of domestic use. It seems likely that whatever went on at the Ness of Brodgar involved the whole community in some non-prosaic activities. Why couldn’t those activities have been religious?

Merrium-Webster gives one definition of a cathedral as "something that resembles or suggests a cathedral (as in size or importance)". The site does indeed fall into those parameters. It being from about 5,000 years ago, we have no idea what language was spoken by the people who used that structure - and therefore no idea what they themselves called it. Our best word to understand the context of that building is indeed "cathedral".

Circle, Circse, Church, all have the same root. The Temple is the night sky. One Megalithic hour is 240 minutes, or 14,400 seconds (1/4) There are 6 Megalithic hours to the day, each made up of 6 minutes, each of which is 6 seconds long. If the Megalithic hour was divided into 60 minutes, each would be 1,440 of our seconds, times 100 is 144,000. One Megalithic second is 400 of our modern seconds, divided by 60 (to get minutes) is 6.6666666.... 360 ÷ 6.66 is 54 54 x 2 is 108 108 x 2 is 216 To effect this the hands on a clock count out 10 (units of 6) x 10 (units of 6) × 4 (=400 units of 6). Therefore the relationship of the Megalithic second to our current form is mathematically proportional to the ratio between the Sun and Moon. A Megalithic second is 6.66 minutes (400 seconds). A Megalithic Minute is 40 minutes, or 2,400 seconds. 6 x 6 x 6 x 400 = 86,400, the number of seconds in a day. This would mean a clock with 216 seconds would go around 40 times in a day (2160 x 400). This means 1 Megalithic second is 6.66 of our modern minutes, meaning their metric system is based on the Full Moon, of which 360 fit into to the night sky, and 720 will encircle the globe, divided by half gives us the 360 degree circle, and the basis for our present based sixty or seximal system of time. Which is why 1 degree of Arc on the Moon = 100 Megalithic Yards (2700ft). This means the Beast, the hidden hand of the Masonic fraternity, is the Moon; and Time. The white limestone covering of the Pyramids denotes the Pale Moon in Megalithic Ireland, like at New Grange, where Enoch describes a Crystal Palace illuminated by the Full Moon every 19 years. 6 x 6 x 6 is 216, there are 2160 years in an astrological age, and the Moon is 2160 miles in diameter, the solar metonic calendar using 60 6 day weeks produces 1 extra day every 216 years. There are also 216 Megalithic seconds in a day, and 216 letters in the name of the Hebrew God, Just as Solomon has 36 or 72 scrolls, and Muhammed speaks of 72 sects. Enoch also buries 36,525 scrolls, the number of days in a year, times 100. This shows that our current measure of time is based on the principle of 1/6, the basis of an Egyptian Royal Cubit, which effects the arc of a Pendulum like that in a Grandfather Clock, the Sun also does this in the sky over the seasons. But first, they built the first ring at Stonehenge, which is 100 metres (330 ft) wide, with an area of 2160 square feet, a Cube's interior angles also add up to... 2160! This produces a Calendar of 60 6 day weeks plus five. Every 4th year a 366th day makes exactly 61 weeks. This is the basis of the Olympics, to mark a Leap Year, starting with the first Full Moon of the Summer Solstice. This means every 216 years this calendar produces 1 extra day, so after 648 years 3 days must be removed. This is when the Phoenix arrived, and stepped onto the Alter of Ra or Holy Grail, completing the Metonic cycle and bringing the Calendar back into sync with the first New Moon of the Spring equinox. The Capstone of the Pyramid is even called the Benben Stone, the Egyptian Phoenix is called the Bennu. It likely relates to Deneb, in Ophiuchus, the 13th Starsign of the Zodiac. The base of the Pyramid is exactly 13 Acres, as is Teotihuacan, because they share the exact same base dimensions. Such a location would be ideal for calculating the speed of light using the transit of Venus. Incidentally the Great Pyramid's Latitudinal coordinates are the speed of light. 1440 ÷ 108 = 13.333333 11 and 3 are the most sacred Celtic numbers of royalty, and also happen to be the proportions of the Earth to the Moon, and the Great Pyramid. The starsigns also precess 1 degree every 72 years 72 x 3 is 216 2160 ÷ 648 is 3.3333333 The Aztec Calendar also begins with a double transit of Venus, in 3116BC, and ended with one on June 5 2012. The double headed Phoenix. This whole code can be encrypted into a single Pythagorean Triangle of Dimensions 666 by 630, by 216, this is the Key of Solomon, 33 is the inverse of 66. 100 is the "perfect number" because it represents Ten (6 unit) metrics times ten 6 unit metrics: a unit being 6.66 ie 60 x 60 (3600) the number of Arcdegree seconds in a second, or a one second unit on a clock the size of Earth This means seconds represent 10ths of the Moon; 216, or 6 x 6 x 6 (100 ÷ 6 ÷ 6 = 2.7): Euler's number, and the number of feet to a Megalithic Yard, 3/11 is .27 and the number of days in a sidereal month is also 27. 11/3 is 3.66, the number of days in a Canicular leap year, the character of Thoth, Cuchulainn, and Kukulkan, the Dog Star of the Dog days of Sirius, in Assyria, and the star by which the Sothic (Seth) Calendar is determined. Thoth was the Son of Seth, who is portrayed as a Serpent. 3 x 11 is 33, the # of years in a 'Great Solar Return'. As the Sun and Moon inhabit their respective houses of the Zodiac they animate the character within, playing out the dramas and battles we know as myths, for example the Moon traveling through each of the Zodiac houses each month, for a grand total of... 144 (12 x 12) This is why at every Megalithic site we find Theatres, like in "Nazereth" and Gobekli Tepe and Poverty Point, as well as in New Zealand. Metatron/Enoch/Echnaton/Arkenaten's Cube is 13 circles in a Star of David: 13 x 360 is 4680 4680 ÷ 216 is 21.666.. The circumference of the Earth in Nautical Miles is 21,600 This means the basis of the Nautical Mile is the Moon. Calculate the Circumference of the Earth in kms by multiplying the Diameter of the Moon by 18.6, the period of a Metonic Cycle in years to get 40,175.

Lots of educated guesses in this video. And not many likes despite over 27,000 views, so far. Frankly, I'm quite bored and even irritated by the narrator's poshy accent. Seems to me a lot of professionals in the field make the mistake of anthropomorphizing their own cultural norms onto the remains of ancient civilizations. It's a mistake because of course Western Civilization (so-called) is far removed from the times and cultures in which the structures on Orkney and the Salisbury Plain were built. It's anybody's guess what was really going on in this particular structure, so here's mine: It was a multipurpose room. It was where the locals went when they weren't hunting, eating or sleeping. It was where they got together to stay warm while they worked on those arts and useful crafts and did a bit of trading on those chilly, rainy days when there wasn't much else they could be doing. Maybe they honored their dead there. Maybe they had regular market days there, as well. If it wasn't the climate that made them leave en masse, perhaps it was some marauders from across the water they knew were coming. So they slaughtered all their livestock, ate and took away all they could so the marauders couldn't have it and went elsewhere.

Well said. Like lawyers, doctors and preachers, archeologists HATE saying “I don’t know”. Also, have you ever left behind anything that was really valuable to you? I imagine most of what we find in digs like this would be the worst examples of any particular medium or category of item. The broken, the useless, the discarded, not important at all. Of course that would not always be the case. But in any site other than a tomb or grave, it would stand to reason.
