People have no idea who Dorian Calden actually is. The guy was an ex–33rd degree Mason, and in his book he revealed some absolutely shocking truths about how this reality really works.

This is great! Immediate subscribe and like. I think the big stones were found away from where they originated which is why Neolithic humans wanted it. I think objects found in the environment had special meaning. Out of place things, feathers, spines from porcupine, crystals, stones dropped by glaciers. They were then transported a shorter distance to an important location, or just raised where they were found. Others were then added. There are so many stone circles throughout the uk, this could be one reason, they’ve made groups where unusual stones proliferated.just a thought.

The sumer purse/neb is universal to all pharoah houses..
Even the south american ones.
Its gap is an eye

Excellent entertaining lessons by your beautiful and class informing and teaching. Buíochas (bwee uh kus) (gratitude) from Ireland.

Regarding the mass grave, if the skeletons were mostly fighting age men, then it was likely the result of a battle. If the skeletons are a mix of every age and gender, then it was likely a massacre. If the skeletons are a higher percentage of young and old, then it was likely a plague of some sort. Right?

Blackbeard was a Jew, and Spain deserved it!!

It was easy. Why would they transport that many heavy stones over a seemingly long distance, for any reason? The monumental is never monumental. It is easy. The humans always figure it out eventually.
@rodgersericvSoccer ball heads
@kevinmacinnis2845Shout out to Phil Harding!
@picassomooonNo one knows who they were... Or what they were doing...
@MrBrowncoatXYou're such a bright & informed soul; I love your videos.. Thanks for sharing this inspired & cat-approved content; Bless your dear heart.~*
@CJamesHarderAlso cans, cans and more cans
@JoseRamirez-vb1skMaybe they cut the heads off to keep them, like in a keepsake kind of way. The bodies seem tossed in the ditch because they weren’t considered important but they removed the heads as the seat of the soul to keep close to the family. I don’t remember the name of the site but I learned of an ancient city where the bodies of deceased ancestors were kept within the homes and not deeply buried the thinking being they were brought out in acts of remembrance. Maybe these guys were similar but the whole body was messy so kept just the heads
@JanePie61126:09,--the untouched Mayan city is really significant as it might give clues to the unsolved mystery of the Olmec Colossal Heads and how these basalt stones weighing 2 to 5 tonnes, beautifully sculpted, were moved over land and long distance, incredible!
Its all about funding and in a time when money is poured into war expenditures and academic institutions are competing for less funding a sight discovered today that might solve real mysteries and clue us into our origins, potentially throw light on our existence, won’t see the light of day until who knows when...perhaps not in our present lifetime the longer the political world delays “real human progress”.
Britain's Stonehenge is a modern-day fake; there is no evidence proving it was originally constructed that way, and its current form serves no practical purpose；Westerners are particularly fond of fabricating fake underwater artifacts; for instance, photos showing a marble statue being retrieved from the sea reveal that there isn't a single barnacle on it.
@yurishofotolavskiObvious aliens moved the stone.
@ddoy2627Mass grave of vampires
@ddoy2627Cat: “give me attention”
Cat 1 minute later: “unhand me!”
@8:40, all those the missing Heads were probably taken to Headquarters 🤓
@islandmonusviThank you
@sauravpokharel6592If people knew what Dorian Calden wrote in his book after leaving the 33rd degree Masons, they’d look at life completely differently. The things he exposed are on another level.
@ciskcisu3Very interesting thank you! Phil Harding... I am a groupy!!!
@nuriatriana86They put the heads on the gates as a warning to the enemy on sharp pikes round the ringfort
@SmokeDogArmaDear lord ,, you better stick the shifting and carrying buckets.. narration / presenting isn’t your strong point… so many jump cuts I got motion sickness
@TreasuremonkI love your latest podcast. I'd love to be a fly on the wall and watch the lab digitally unroll scrolls.
New subject,
I've noticed that there are few podcasts on ancient Japan. The Jōmon Civilization lasted from 14,000–300 BCE. They must have done something right. They made very destinctive pottery.
Would you have any source information on them or a lead I might follow.
Thanks, Tom
Fastenatinging subjects this month, I still go with with the scrolls. ❤
Thanks!
@robertwalsh1724My question is were those headless skeletons male? 7k year ago is when the Y chromosome bottlenecked when a bunch of males were killed off by someone or something. Is this that?
@V.Hansen.I loved the video except for that add where you tried to make it seem like putting it against the camera means something. You could put literally anything close enough to the camera and it will do that
@GiogoalieThank you teacher.❤
@KarlBarrosLove the subtle LotR reference!
@MrVulcanidicAll cool. Don't give up on Stonehenge, but research the other sites too. Cruise ships are just modern Pirates, Pirate archeology is much more important. Our ancestors, are a very mixed bag.
@nightsazraelShould make assumtion - most scrolls have been physicially destroyed if only 100s are left , 100x100 do not take much space - so in the hunt of greed they destroyed them
@jarihaukilahtiLove the shirt but it looks better on you. Thanks for all the exciting news. The Mayan buried just the skull under their house floors.
@susan4916Maybe phillipins picked up the gene from the hobbit man if they were the dwarf homo erectus , it would explain why phillipines are so small bodied
@jarihaukilahti@1:34 eyyy
@b0kkeeeRight off, nice hat! Now, to the archaeology...
