This incredible discovery in the Hilazon Tachtit Cave in Israel has produced a highly detailed shamanic grave of a 45-year-old woman who died some 12,000 years ago.
The woman was from the Natufian culture, which existed between 12,500 to 9500 BC. The article states the Natufian period was from 15,000 to 11,500 BC but that is another error on the part of the author of the article, unfortunately a common thing these days. Ironically the date of 9500 BC is the same as Plato puts on his Atlantis story, and it’s also the time when sea levels rose dramatically and a comet or asteroid slammed into North America, so it’s likely the demise of the Natufian is linked to the same disaster that brought an end to “Atlantis”. Fragments of that comet hit areas in nearby Syria, so it is quite likely the Natufian culture was decimated at that time, or at least affected to such an extent that the culture disappears from the archaeological record. Thankfully our shaman lived around 500 years before the comet impact of 9500 BC.
Found back in 2005, the woman was one of 29 burials discovered in the cave, but hers was the most unusual. It has taken archaeologists many years to painstakingly uncover the contents of the grave and meticulously measure what they have found. This intense scientific procedure has produced the most incredible conclusion – the woman buried in the grave was an important shaman. He grave was laid out with an array of bones and goods, and the many layers of her grave show clearly she was a very important person.
