Welcome to our little place on the web


www.regardinghomes.com

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.

Cassi Merten So while I have not been doing a lot of writing in quite awhile, I have still been doing a lot of reading, research, and following of others' research and theories. I have, also, been working out my next pursuit in my head and on paper, so to speak. I have long thought that the "official" story of humanity has some major contradictions and errors in it. Even as a child, raised basically in a christian'ish belief system, I always had questions about things that made no sense to me or that did not seem to tell the whole story or answer all the questions that I had. Questions like; if Adam and Eve were the first people then why did Cain need to be marked? Didn't ALL the people (his family) already know who he was and what he did? And if everyone was going to descend from Adam and Eve then wouldn't they all know who Cain was already? Of course some versions say that God sent them out to find wives, again if Adam and Eve were the first then where

The Undead.....Things that go bump in the night....

The Premature Burial by Antoine Wiertz One of the most prolific scares of the dark is that of encountering the undead ! The most famous of the undead is the vampire , but, they are not the only undead that lurk in our shadows and imagination. Several happenings caused the vampire to become widespread in history; not the least of which was the fact that people were accidentally burying the living. The methods for pronouncing a person dead were not accurate or reliable....matter of fact, so common was the misdiagnosis, especially, during cholera outbreaks, that a string was tied around the finger or foot of a newly buried corpse and attached to a bell above ground, so that if the person awoke and panicked they could be heard and hopefully dug up in time, giving birth to the phrases "Saved By The Bell" and "Graveyard Shift". Of the other undead roaming in the dark are ghouls and zombies, which seem not to mind the sun, unlike other undead. Ghouls are some of th

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
