India
As we prepare for this year’s monsoon rains, last year saw dreadful floods in Kerala that took the lives of hundreds of people. I have a friend in Kerala and I was privy to videos that were not shown on any western media outlets. People were being swept away to their deaths and no one could do a thing to help them. It was heartbreaking to watch these videos, and in the end I could not continue to watch them. The death toll rose and around 500 people died. Swimming is not exactly a favoured pastime in India, but even the best of swimmers could not escape the fast torrents that were occurring last year. Let’s hope this year’s monsoon rains are less devastating.
After that morbid start, some good news did come from the floods. Near Aranmula, in Kerala, the floods revealed hundreds of terracotta figurines. Archaeologists swiftly moved in and started clearing the site. The figurines are only a couple of hundred years old, but further investigations were carried out and soon graves that were 2,500 years old were discovered…
Algeria
It’s thought these tombs were for the Berber elite, but no one knows for sure, according to the article.
Now teams are trying to preserve the tombs by attempting to obtain World Heritage status, an application that seems unlikely in my eyes…

Easter Island
I would say this theory is utter nonsense, but I have to make a bigger stress with my vocabulary and say it’s utter bollocks.
Seriously, do these people have any intelligence at all? How do they even get funding? Are they educated, or just programmed to fill our minds with anything but actual common sense?
So here’s my point – if you wanted to mark a place where there is water, would you spend years cutting, quarrying, dragging (or whatever method they used), and then placing huge blocks of stone in place, whereby no doubt many people were killed due to the dangerous working environment, or would you just hit a few stakes into the ground?
Of course, you would choose the latter option.
Just like in Nazca, where other brain dead “scholars” tell us the lines pointed to places of water due to the desert environment, we are led to believe that our ancestors were so thick and dumb it’s ridiculous. The Nazcans had more than enough water in Nazca, and if we assume they didn’t, they would have simply moved to an area where there was water, and would not have spent years in the baking sun making lines.
I am honestly sick to death of these stupid people who come up with equally stupid theories that have as much credence as man landing on Saturn. Thankfully, more and more people are realising that scientists come up with more crap than they do sense.
Philippines
So let’s start with a quote from the article:
“That could mean primitive human relatives left Africa and made it all the way to South-East Asia, something not previously thought possible.”
They just can’t leave it alone, can they… Not a single scientist can think outside of the box. Not a single scientist can accept that humans evolved around the planet, and did not all originate in Africa. There is already enough proof that this theory is completely absurd, and yet every discovery comes with the tag line that “humans must have left Africa earlier than previously thought…”
Are these people so blind that they can’t even think something else is occurring? And who am I – just an amateur in many people’s eyes, and yet it is so obvious the out-of-Africa theory no longer has a place in our story.
One can only bang one’s head against the wall until these so-called “scholars” and “experts” get their heads out of their own arses and come up with something that actually makes sense. And if I wrote a paper clearly proving the obvious, I would be ridiculed and ignored because I don’t have a piece of paper that makes me a member of their super club, whereby only those with that piece of paper are allowed to be heard.
We are continually dumbed down by science. Like someone once said, and I forget who, “Education destroys knowledge”.
And by saying that the meaning is clear – there is a rigid and often wrong science that we are governed by; a discipline that has the monopoly on knowledge, and if you speak out against that you are destroyed by that very system. And even those scientists who have dared to speak out have lost their funding and then their jobs because they don’t toe the line.
Something has to change.
United Kingdom / Great Britain / England
First of all let’s not allow ourselves to be fooled by the ridiculous headline – that this migration consisted of those who built Stonehenge. It’s becoming tiring. There is no evidence these people built Stonehenge, and we will never know who did. For all we know, a group of yaks could have travelled from Tibet, built Stonehenge and then walked back again.
What we do have is a very interesting piece of the jigsaw when it comes to migration into the British Isles.
This is what we now know from the article.
1) There were already people living in Britain and human evidence goes back tens of thousands of years.
2) The migration in this article brings in a new population from Turkey around 6,000 years ago.
3) This population was replaced by the Beaker People around 4,450 years.
That’s not to say they didn’t play their part, but it is almost certain that earlier stones or henges were already in place on both sites.
Another problem is the dating of the Stonehenge we see today. The date attributed to this has been 2500 BC, almost the same time as the Beaker migration, so it’s plausible it was the Beaker People who were involved and not the Turkish peoples. Since the dates can never be ascertained with any accuracy, it’s only guesswork. So to make completely impossible-to-prove statements like this is unprofessional and nothing but click bait for the uninformed.
An important note to make is the fact it takes some considerable time for a population to become established. It also takes some time for a population to be dissolved or removed. So we could hazard a guess that this population was at its prominence for around a thousand years, which isn’t that much time. It’s very likely this population was already in decline when Stonehenge was built, absolutely bringing into doubt the once-again stupid headline that these people had anything to do with Stonehenge. We are constantly being warned about fake news, and yet our own media are more than happy to promote fake news.
The archaeological establishment should be outraged, not peddling the headline for attention.
The most likely explanation is that everyone living in Britain at that time was involved in the huge projects for both sites, and not any single population. Sites of such magnitude require communication of many different groups, to share ideas with the transference of knowledge and intelligence.
Scotland
Back in December, archaeologists found a catapult ball that was likely fired at the walls of Edinburgh Castle in the siege of 1296.
You would think such items are common, but this is actually a rare find since most castles don’t have excavations carried out around their perimeter.
