With hundreds of journals in the discipline and a world of subjects to address, we probably left a few things out. Why You Should Choose Refurbished If You're Buying Apple Products to be fair, and i've been a pc person most of my life, 2 years later and my apple still outperforms most of my PC's that I've had for just as long. come to think of it, it even outperforms this desktop that i'm typing from that has 3 times as much ram and twice the processing speed. worth it? yes. definitely. Just because you can get the same features.... mostly.... for less and be able to get the "same stuff" done... it's really better. The laptops are thinner, lighter, and more importantly, their battery life is substantially longer, and the screens are much higher quality, as well as the trackpads are extremely effective.

The Williams Enigmalith Leonardo VintiniEpoch Times Staff Created: March 30, 2009 Last Updated: June 19, 2012 A stone embedded with a three-pronged plug could be either evidence for a technologically advanced ancient civilization or a hoax. (Courtesy of John J. Williams) An Oopart (Out Of Place ARTifact) is a term applied to dozens of prehistoric objects found in various places around the world that, given their level of technology, are completely at odds with their determined age based on physical, chemical, and/or geological evidence.

Buddhist ‘Iron Man’ found by Nazis is from space A Buddhist statue brought to Germany from Tibet by a Nazi-backed expedition has been confirmed as having an extraterrestrial origin. Known as the ‘iron man’, the 24-centimetre-high sculpture may represent the god Vaiśravaṇa and was likely created from a piece of the Chinga meteorite that was strewn across the border region between Russia and Mongolia between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, according to Elmar Buchner, of the University of Stuttgart in Germany, and his colleagues. In a paper published in Metoritics and Planetary Science, the team reports their analysis of the iron, nickel, cobalt and trace elements of a sample from the statue, as well as its structure. They found that the geochemistry of the artefact is a match for values known from fragments of the Chinga meteorite.

Bosnian Pyramid Carbon Dates To 24,800 Years Ago (Before It's News) August 18, 2012, radiocarbon dating report from Kiev laboratory about wood fragments found at Pyramid of the Sun in Visoko, Bosnia-Herzegovina, sampled on June 6, 2012, from Archaeological Trench 4A on the north side of the pyramid in soil layer above ancient concrete blocks. Radiocarbon dating report provided to Earthfiles by Semir Osmanagich, Ph.D., Prof. of Anthropology, American Univ. in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Principal Investigator, Bosnian Pyramid Project ( This would put it at 22,788 B.C. The Voyage of Odysseus - Graham Hancock Official Website Please welcome our Author of the Month for June, Michael MacRae. Using excerpts from his book Sun Boat, Michael questions whether Homer’s The Odyssey might in fact be a veiled account of the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1160 – 1130 B.C. The Iliad and The Odyssey are the oldest complete books in Western literature and have remained popular for near on 3,000 years. The Iliad concerns Helen’s abduction to Troy and the subsequent ten-year long Trojan War to free her. The Odyssey recounts the adventures that befell the Greek prince Odysseus during the twenty or so years during which he was attempting to return to his home in Ithaca following the sacking of Troy. It seems incredulous that an experienced sea captain could be disoriented for such an extended period of time when supposedly within the bounds of well established, eastern Mediterranean trade routes.

New Evidence Lost Civilizations Really Existed What if everything you’ve been taught about the origins of civilization is wrong? Be it that certain pieces of our history have been intentionally hidden, or that we have yet to discover and realize the true story of our past, new archaeological and geological discoveries are revealing that sophisticated civilizations have likely existed in prehistoric times. Until recently, the archaeological community has spread the view that the beginnings of human civilization started after the last Ice Age, which ended around 9,600 BC.

Stonehenge bluestones had acoustic properties, study shows 3 March 2014Last updated at 18:11 GMT A study has discovered that rocks in the Preseli Hills, the source of some the stones at Stonehenge, have a sonic property The giant bluestones of Stonehenge may have been chosen because of their acoustic properties, claim researchers. A study shows rocks in the Preseli Hills, the Pembrokeshire source of part of the monument, have a sonic property. Researcher Paul Devereux said: "It hasn't been considered until now that sound might have been a factor." The study, by London's Royal College of Art, was to try and record what "Stone Age eyes and ears" would have heard and seen in a prehistoric landscape.

Old Maps, Expeditions and Explorations: USERKAF’S SUN TEMPLE AT ABU SIR. Abu Sir has been called the site of the forgotten kings of the 5th Dynasty. One can see only 3 pyramids from a distance; those of Sahure -- Nyuserre -- Neferirkare. Abusir is about half way between Giza and Saqqara. Located here is another large royal cemetery of the Old Kingdom composed of four pyramids belonging to kings of the 5th Dynasty and the surrounding tombs built by royal family and officials. Additionally the kings of the 5th Dynasty constructed Sun Temples on the desert to the northwest of the pyramids. The existence of these Sun Temples as well as of the royal pyramids is the most characteristic feature of this area...

Did Humans Walk the Earth with Dinosaurs? Triceratops Horn Dated to 33,500 Years A Triceratops brow horn discovered in Dawson County, Montana, has been controversially dated to around 33,500 years, challenging the view that dinosaurs died out around 65 million years ago. The finding radically suggests that early humans may have once walked the earth with the fearsome reptiles thousands of years ago. The Triceratops brow horn was excavated in May 2012 and stored at the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum. The Museum, which has since 2005 been in cooperation with the Paleochronology Group, a team of consultants in geology, paleontology, chemistry, engineering, and education, sent a sample of the outer portion of the Triceratops brow horn to Head of the Paleochronology Group Hugh Miller, at his request, in order to carry out Carbon-14 dating. Mr Miller sent the sample to the University of Georgia, Center for Applied Isotope Studies, for this purpose.

Unexplained Phenomena Ancient Origins seeks to uncover, what we believe, is one of the most important pieces of knowledge we can acquire as human beings – our beginnings. While many believe that we already hold such knowledge, our view is that there still exists a multitude of anomalies and mysteries in humanity's past that deserve further examination. We therefore wish to foster an open community that is dedicated to investigating, understanding and explaining the origins of our species on planet earth.
