b**t***s indeed.

Yup agreed, new discoveries all the time; be it a species or another part of many of the ancient puzzles, and man has to learn about these civilizations, the way they lived, how they survived and for how long. It's good that man isn't delluded and knows we have far more to learn than we already know. THATS what keeps the pace going, and I look proudly on man's enthusiasm for it these days.

or will do when the bombs stop falling

Mans second love to finding things is blowing them up heh

2nd love ?
what planet are you from anyway

you heard about the "king of stonehenge" right ?

Apparently remains consisting of gold and riches, very old and traced him abroad somehow, patches of data, some dicussion in scholarly circles, but I know of no details.

Why do you ask? And what planet am I from? If I knew that my people would have me assasinated

In fact the Body termed the "king of stonehenge" comes from switzerland, they can tell from examing the enamel on his teeth and he was buried with gold and bronze items that represented the very best in technology of the time appeox 200bce. he also had a terrible injury to his left knee and it was missing. he lived with the pain for quite some time before he died.
See when this Dumb swiss bloke turned up at dover in 2201bce with sacks of gold and bronze he found us brits waitng for him.We introduced him to a new invention of our own called taxation. If he'd given it up without a fight it probably wouldn't have been actually neccesary to kneecap him but we'd probably would have done it anyway.

of course when his family heard what happened they vowed to accumullate everyone else's wealth and never come to england again

And there came the birth of a new era in england Thats cool, traced him back to the Alps. I think I read something about the lighter tones of chemicals in his teeth enamel sugested a colder climate of origin. Cool discovery. And I wouldnt doubt the silly story about his welcome here, we are such bastards.

Bring up more random topics dude, keep em comin.

I see i am late.

Hey Isis, nah your not late. We spared you of the tedium now aye.

I seem to recall reading the theory that the pyramids were also a type of public works program, something to keep the people occupied, as well as a handy place to store a dead pharoh. I am reasonably sure this was gleaned from excavations of the workers houses but I may be mistaken.

Thats just speculation
from the excavations of the workers houses we discovered that they were well fed and well cared for.
i.e. no big men with whips.

True, it was the opinion of the excavators I suppose.

What do you think of the latest rumor that Khufu may still be intact in another room? Think it's just another publicity stunt?

speculation again.
all the other kings were buried in the valley of the kings. many mummies were stolen in the last 1500 years and sold at various markets around the world. Khufu could be in someones private collection or even ground into powder and snuffed by victorian hypercondriacts.

Has anything from his funerary gear ever shown up that you know of?

Being ground up and snuffed would have to be a humbling end for a god king wouldn't it?

nada
but then how would you know if it did

And ground up mummies made a great aphrodisiac.

Well first you would have to know what was in it, or find something with his name on it. Since I didn't know if there was such a list I thought I would ask. Never hurts to ask, you always learn something.

thats no problem Imaginos no ones saying you're an expert.
The grave goods of pharoahs weren't generally marked. we know who they belonged to because they are normally found in a tomb which is marked "herein lies......"
The Mummies normally contain the name somewhere in their wrappings as well but if it was unwrapped to search for hidden antiquities (statutes jewellry) and the mummy sold then we'll never know.
The Egyptians themselves were well known for using old tombs when they'd forgotten who was buried in them by neccesity.
At one point twenty or so mummies were found stacked up in another tomb, without the grave goods. the king who disinterred them would have had those straight away for his personal collectioon.
Now is it even worth me factoring in tomb robbers ?
you're getting the picture right ?

Oh believe me I understand what you are saying. Just wanted to hear your opinion.

I imagine he is probably dust but it amuses me to think he might still be lurking behind a wall chuckling as folk pass right by.

What does a dead mummy sound like chuckling? Any philosophers out there?

A.R., I would love to know that myself..

I would assume it would sound like a sarcophaguffaw.

Panspermia is a definite possibility. That is because bacteria have a unique ability. They can dehydrate and crystallize as a bacterial spore. Bacterial spores millions of years old, preserved in amber, for instance, have been revived. Just adjust the atmosphere, since most are anaerobic (oxygen kills them) and the ones that started life on Earth were probably extremophiles. They are also archaeobacteria, from which descend every other lifeform on Earth.

To survive a long journey through interstellar space, they would have to be encapsulated in a dust particle, which would protect it from UV rays.

If mankind ever becomes star-travelers, it wouldn't surprise me if we found that we share a common ancestry with whatever other life we find on other planets. Same thing if we find life on Mars. Of course, skeptics will claim contamination, yet the reference to www.abc.net.au shows these bacteria could not be terrestrial. If DNA can be derived, it might be shown that they share a common ancestor with us.

iirc the similar worlds hypothesis was invented back in the 60's
for a new TV show called Star Trek

I think that we could have come from that tenth planet that they just found...

My favourite theory is the Khufu was ground into powser and sniffed up like cocaine.

I think its possible that you might have spider
but i'm definately an earthling

i got the d.n.a. and everything

Life developed on earth because the chemistry was right, but man developed as a result of genetic engineering by an ETI.

you think
more likely ETS, where S stands for stupidity

at least in the case of anyone who believes we owe our existence to little green men

No, not the little greens, they are the Reptilians. It was the greys.

Well that explain's it all,

LOL. That explains my instinctual dance moves as well.

Yes that is what i was thinking, now we can all see where we get our grove from!

Funky aliens invented Techno.

DJ here is the proof to back up your theory.

Hahaha! That's awesome. Thanks for giving me the biggest chuckle of the day!

Your welcome glad to help a fellow alien.

Oh no, I'm not an alien, I'm a God.

Well that would be on topic since gods are not from this earth! Could you tell us from where you rein.

last time I checked it was me who was a God,
Isis who was a Goddess
I'm not sure about you DJ but i suspect you might be an eskimo,
if thats true then heres some free advice
Don't drink the yellow snow
the husky's are spraying again

Eww . . That's

Why are people always offering me yellow snowcones?

Well as my dear Marduk said, the only gods around here are us, so what planet do you claim to rein from..

Since you are a god not a alien..

The spark of creation is within each of us, and that is the element which makes us god like.

I do not beleive that we are re-incarnations of life forms from another planet.

What do you think I am Isis, a Scientologist? Please! Help me get rid of the implants!

Sorry my friend..I am just a Goddess..no more no less.

But i will agree on the fact i do not believe we are from so other planet, I do believe some of us have lived before, but it has always been on this earth. :

But i am sure my dear Marduk, will be glad to tell you how to remove your inplants.

Marduk, or L. Ron Hubbard?

Marduk, if you want to know what's right.. Ron if your trying to reach for the star's !
