Big Bad Voodoo Posted August 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2012 "Most of the hands are quite large and some of them are very large," Manfred Bietak, project and field director of the excavations. http://www.livescience.com/22267-severed-hands-ancient-egypt-palace.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted August 13, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I wonder who those very large hands belonged to, the Anunnaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted August 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2012 This part in the article made me chuckle: One account is written on the tomb wall of Ahmose, son of Ibana, an Egyptian fighting in a campaign against the Hyksos. Written about 80 years later than the time the 16 hands were buried, the inscription reads in part: "Then I fought hand to hand. I brought away a hand. It was reported to the royal herald."

Abramelin Posted August 13, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) It just proves Islamic fundamentalist fks had an ancient example. Think "Sharia" I was always convinced the fundamentalistic Islamic idiots never evolved beyond the Middle Ages, but now I am sure they never did. Thanks The -L- . .

Etu Malku Posted August 13, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I wonder if the Islamic practice of severing hands for crimes was carried over from the Canaanites, and this is what they found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Voodoo Posted August 14, 2012 Author #17 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks The -L- . No problem. I adore posting on UM. Its my favourite site plus it is No1 site when you want to discuss these kinds of things. Recently I met few people on UM that usually post in abovetopsecret.com. They claim that ATS is best site and they want me to wrote there. My question was if ATS is best why you came here. Its childish discusion but then again Im childish too. Back on your post and Islam. Although I found Islam scientist to be realy stunning and trough my history learning and research I stumble upon many of them with numerous "firsts" I must admit that Islam civilization dont have nothing that originate from them. Islam originate from Arabs and they were tribes. As Khalid ibn Walid (what a military comander was that) conquer lands for his master they spread Islam and adopt culture of people they conquer. For example if you go in Tunnis you will notice that everyone has Fatima hand /Hamsa. And if you ask anyone there or tourist that went there everyone one will tell you thats Islam symbol/ Arab origin and stuff. Truth is that Fatima hand is Chartage symbol and it can be seen on graves of fell Chartagians. What also stunned me that Arabs didnt wont to built roads instead they built Mosques to counter Europe and their churches. Its good to be back on UM. My vacation is over.
