It was Tubalcain and his brothers that turned the city-state of Atlantis into an empire, not only the world's first artificer but also its first alchemist. With weapons of bronze and concoctions that must have seemed magic they subdued the antediluvian world Image The Orphic Mysteries describe the creation of man as having two sources. The soul, derived from the soul of the murdered Dionysus, and the body derived from the Titans who slew him. But the epithet they ascribe to Dionysus is an interesting one: "Zagreus," the catcher of game Image

The most obvious interpretation of the Agony in the Garden is the one that’s spelled out clearly in the text. Christ the man is facing his own imminent death. But there’s so much else going on at the same time. God the Father has no body so it was God the Son who was with Adam and Eve in the Garden, who saw their disobedience, their temptation, and their betrayal against him.

Without a doubt the worst case scenario is the country now "rallying around the flag" with Justin Trudeau as a symbol of national defiance. Canada's post national civic nationalism has been emboldened. Even the most dissatisfied now hate America more than their government We were on the cusp of complete and total libtard rejection at a scale never before seen. Liberals were going to be lucky to get half a dozen seats next election. They'll probably put up a decent fight now. Might even win. Never underestimate antiamericanism as a political force

In 871, Louis II and Basil I exchanged letters arguing over which of them had the better claim to being Roman Emperor. Basil's key point was that the Franks were a gens, a nation, an ethnicity, and Romans were not, disqualifying the Franks from having universal dominion This perception I think is the biggest indicator of hegemony. So default has Englishness (and its immediate diaspora) become that often people forget it's even an ethnicity at all

Say what you will about Germany's colonial empire but it seems to be the only one that instilled any kind of cultural aversion to being a public nuisance in its former subjects if even a hundred years later Rwanda and Namibia don't slam on their horns like it's echolocation Botswana, presumably, isn't densely populated enough for this to even be an issue

Internet atheism has been waging an endless war against an infinitesimally small group of fundamentalists who don't even use the internet A bit before the election I was reading an explicitly liberal subreddit (guilty pleasure) and their big plan to turn rwers away from wanting voter ID was to frame it as the "mark of the beast"

If they knew a single person who might be swayed by that, they'd know they don't vote!

Lichtman's keys, Nate Silver's model, and Selzer's "best polling in the business" beat out by Moo Deng and a million coin flips I hope polling punditry is completely dead from now on. It's just a bunch of nonsense

No they swapped out the sun a few years ago. It used to be yellow and now it's white. Alexander saw the warm, life-affirming glow of Helios; you see a shrill fluorescent lightbulb in the sky I say "they" but truly I don't know who's responsible for this. Perhaps it was the snuffing out of the last residual majesty of the antediluvian world, the Unconquered Sol at last replaced with an unremarkable white star

Retarded on the same scale as the "HOLE LEFT BY THE DARK AGES" chart. The Library of Alexandria got its income by having scribes copy its books for rich people. Everything was written on papyrus (which has a very short shelf life in damp climates) and had to be constantly copied There was probably very little that existed exclusively on its shelves

Unique among divine names in the OT is "God of Heaven," almost exclusively uttered in Persian contexts. If the correspondences in Chron/Ezra are genuine, it may demonstrate that Achaemenid officials believed—or were led to believe—that Ahura Mazda and Jehovah were one in the same This phrase also appears in Daniel, another book taking place during Persian rule, and in Jonah, who preached in Nineveh

Years ago my history professor in university theorized that the version of Beowulf we have today might be a cultural remnant of Arianism among the Germanic peoples because of its scant (if any) references to Jesus while still having a monotheistic Christian worldview The original story is probably a fair bit older (and pagan) but the surviving manuscript is a fossilized version from the migration period, so to speak

It's been years since I did a Railroad playthrough but I remember during your initiation ceremony you're asked "Would you give your life for ANY synth?" and I thought that was either terrible writing or these people were well and truly insane It's not just synth equality, that's advocating for synth supremacy. That a human life is worth less than a synth's and it's therefore justifiable to sacrifice oneself for any random synth no matter who they are or what they're doing. Ridiculous faction

wildly underestimated by the youtube rec algo Image truthfully I wish I hadn't heard about it because the closest thing I've had to scrupulosity is the nagging feeling that not only is the Hebrew *wrong* in some places but intentionally so, and anyone reading a straight translation of it is being misled

I think the ancient river is a bigger deal than the Richat Structure (and archaeologists agree with me). I know it's a natural phenomenon but I believe it's unique enough that it was associated with the civilization even thousands of years later
Image Things I believe about Atlantis:
-Civilization centred around the Tamanrasset River in prehistory
-Asserted some level of hegemony over North Africa and the Mediterranean
-Progenitors of the Afro-Asiatic language family
-Wiped out in a (localized) flood

Place-names in Iceland and the Faroe Islands which may point to pre-Norse Irish settlement.

The Íslendingabók and Færeyinga Saga references to "Papars" and "Westmen" post-date Norse colonization by several centuries. However, "an earlier source that could possibly refer to the Papar is the work of Dicuil, an early 9th-century Irish monk and geographer, which included mention of the wandering of "holy men" to the lands of the north."Image

In this thread I'll be reposting and in some cases summarizing vinlandinthegulf's arguments for the location of Hvitramannaland and pre-Columbian Irish settlement in North America

To start; the Vinland Sagas make several references to a pre-existing Irish settlement near Vinland Image Called "White Man's Land" or "Great Ireland," It was located six days away from Vinland by sail. If we take the L'anse-aux-Meadows settlement as being "Vinland," that puts it somewhere within the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in the vicinity of the Canadian Maritimes and East Quebec

In 1364, eight men arrived in Norway from the Arctic claiming to be fifth-generation descendants of colonists sent there by King Arthur. Apparently four years prior an Englishman from Oxford visited their land, these accounts are how Mercator decided to depict the Arctic
Image
Image 5 generations is probably around ~100 years so we can safely discount the King Arthur we know as having been the patron for their expedition. This date would be a lot closer to prince Madoc's supposed voyage to the Americas, Welsh being the connection between Madoc and Arthur Image

Image Akhenaten has to be one of the strangest men in history. Stranger still is that around the time of his death the unique Levite/Kohenim yDNA haplogroup was introduced into the Israelite population and that the Levites in Exodus have Egyptian names. Oh well, must be a coincidence Image
