Welcome to our little place on the web

Welcome to our blog! We are glad that you have dropped by and we hope you enjoy your stay. We want you to find something that sparks your interest. Maybe after reading an article or two you will look at the world around you in a different light and wonder about the things you thought you knew. We encourage you to be curious and to ponder our ideas as well as your own and absolutely feel free to share your ideas with us, for that is the whole purpose of this project; to get people talking with fresh views and ideas.

We will not only question things that we were taught as fact in school, but also present alternative points of views or ideas about these facts. It is the hope of this author that you won't just accept our ideas or thoughts but think about the ideas and maybe even come up with your own. Your ideas or point of view might just be the key to an age old mystery! How cool would that be!

The education system of today has given up its purpose of teaching students to think and reason for themselves. Instead they train students to follow the rules and memorize just enough facts to think they have received an education. Most students graduate knowing very little of their own history much less the history of others or the world as a whole. Classes that should be the most interesting are packaged in the most boring and difficult boxes thus ensuring that most students will struggle so much just to get through them that the likelihood of any pursuing further study is limited.

The topics that we will present here will cover all areas of history and anthropology. We will explore civilizations, cultures, societies, schools of thought, languages, myths, artifacts, and wonders of the world. We will cover all aspects of various topics that relate to humanity; where we began, how we got to where we are, where are we going, how we might get somewhere better, where should we be, and many others. It is the hope of this author that readers will find the content interesting and engaging and thus will initiate dialogue and discourse that will only enhance the whole of humanity.

Denisovans, Another "Grandparent"

In previous articles we have discussed our connection to Neanderthals and how their public image, little by little, is improving . If you follow the news you will have heard a lot recently about a new member of our human family. Today we are going to introduce you to that new ancestor of ours, the Denisovans. Denisova Cave, Siberia In a remote part of Siberia, the Denisova Cave, in the Altai mountains, remains of human habitation going back thousands of years was discovered. Since the initial discovery, research has continued right up to present day. The first amazing discovery that the cave yielded was the finger bone of a child, later determined to probably be female, her mtDNA was distinctly different from modern man and Neanderthal, however it also revealed that a common ancient ancestor was shared with Neanderthal. More recent finds revealed not only interbreeding between Neanderthal and Denisovans, but also included an unknown human ancestor as well. Based on finds,...

Questions Most Pondered

As I stated in my previous post, I have always had questions about the facts that have been taught and that have been repeated over and over again for decades. Facts that didn't seem to make sense when combined with other facts. Or anomalies that got rejected for no other reason than at the time of discovery they were singular or supposedly singular finds. Add to this the arrogance with which modern scholars dismiss past stories as the ignorant imaginings of lesser men, judged such for no other reason than being from an earlier time. Coupled with the dismissing of oral histories and traditions simply because they are oral. And the dismissing of heroes and demi-gods and or times of gods living among men as not factual, more so based on our use and concept of those words than on any true evidence. So as the title implies, I am going to share with you some of my most pondered questions. They are not in any specific order. For I believe that they are all, in their own way, of equ...

Where A Book Can Lead

I have just finished reading a couple of books, one was actually a reread, well really it was a re-re-re-reread, but you get the point and it provoked some random thoughts. What books? Voices of the Rocks and Fingerprints of the Gods , respectively. The first edition of Fingerprints of the Gods , was the first book that showed me that there were in fact real and serious people asking some of the same questions that I had always wondered and researching some of the same things that interested me. Reading that work opened up a whole new world to me, in terms of research and learning and growing. And I was hooked. I started looking for other such books, but only those that I believed were properly researched and truly passionate intellectual works. Ones that were not looking for proof of their desired whims and wishes, but those that noticed the textbook versions didn't answer all the questions and even seemed to make no sense with the questions they did answer. Serious...
