Well, I started this thread because I assumed the guy creating the video, Dan Davis, would have included rather recent finds in Germany, Austria and Czechia (- or some other middle European country -). These finds were about giant circular structures, but a couple of centuries older than what we see in Davis' video.

My bad. I didn't understand.

I used to listen to NPR at work all the time in the 90's and early 2k's and loved it. They have always been very liberal so to adapt an even more liberal tone is to become completely one sided/biased. side note: Remember Car Talk?

I hope that it's more like Close Encounters than ET. I've nothing against ET, it's a great film, but CE3K is one of my all time favourite movies.

Peter Murrell: What might happen next in the SNP embezzlement probe? The force said that, in due course, they will send what is called a standard prosecution report (SPR) to the procurator fiscal, Scotland's prosecution service. Just because someone is charged by the police it does not automatically mean there will be a prosecution. That is for the Crown Office and Prosecution Service (COPFS) to decide. Once they have the SPR, the procurator fiscal will then consider if there is sufficient evidence to prove a crime has been committed - and that the accused is the person responsible for that crime. They will also decide whether it is in the public interest to prosecute. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-68855196

You know the only reason I continue with this when all others have fled screaming from the edge of the abyss, except of course the "Greatest Egyptologist of our age", and please pass the sick bag, is that I genuinely hope that one day you will actually address comments in a straight forward way, and not with your very tired old copy pastes of the same very small set of responses you make again and again and again. So I snipped 99% of your reply, why, because of above. However, you really do need to try and address this issue. You know, everybody and their uncle knows, that the main theme of the PT, CT, BoD and Netherworld books is death, a journey in the Duat, resurrection by Osiris and then re-birth/ascension. Amongst this are many other elements of course, and the PT was only for the king, but this core of elements remains the same, even if expressed in different ways, some for a commoner, some for a king, and that is the product of the evolution of the texts over millenia. Apart from these core events, some of the spells in the PT are used in the CT, so there is a direct link there for a start, then some of the CT texts are used in the BoD which itself informs the Netherworld books. Erik Hornung is his "The Ancient Egyptian Books of the Afterlife" clearly shows the lingage between these texts, and even notes specific spells that transfer from one set of texts to the next, some in the same form. What you need to do, without your usual rant about "Egyptologists being wrong all the time", is to deal with the reality of these texts forming a continuum, at least in their core elements, and if you think that the PT are something entirely different, show this clearly, not just by saying it is so, but by a detailed, and it needs to be very detailed, analysis of these texts explaining how they are not connected. I would think that as it seems that you have been at this for nearly two decades, you will present your analysis later today. If, by some very remote possibility, you have not even started on this analysis, then you should stop waisting your time posting and get to work pronto, it will I expect take you at least a year if you do a proper job, if you can read hieroglyphs, otherwise I think we will all be as old as Methuselah before anything appears, or more likely in the Duat ourselves.

Building a Lunar Railroad in Space

If then, Mount Cameroon was the volcanic area they were in, near the island the Amazons lived on, it seems to me this marshy area where Lake Triton emptied into would be here….. Ethiopians obviously being sub-Sarahan type in these descriptions, who also lived on this large island in the marshy Lakes of Triton, near the volcano activity….must have had some kind of “city” or maybe a temple area since it was so sacred an island they left it alone.

I had an odd dream several days ago, while most of the details are scattered and disjointed but what was most prominent was I seen this image of what looked to be Kali but she was more Ivory colored and there was this man sitting near me looking at the same image and was singing some song that consisted mostly of 'Kali Bhuma' and the words to the rest of his song was indiscernible but that small phrase was what I remembered even now. Now I know Kali is the Hindu goddess of Destruction, power, creativity and so on but Bhuma is, as I understand, a Hindu goddess who is the personification of earth among other things. Kali also has apparently 12 forms too. What I am puzzled by is that I am not a Hindu and know precious little of it. Secondly I have not viewed or listened to anything relating to Hinduism or its denominations. So...maybe it was simply just a dream but it was rather specific too.

I'd take the architect with a long by line of working at Linear B, including academic articles at the age of 18, to retired electrical engineers in the modern day.

Squatters began leaving a Gordon Ramsay pub in London on Friday after the High Court ruled that the chef's firm could retake it. Four people have so far left after locking themselves into the York & Albany near Regent's Park last week. It is unclear how many people are still inside but BBC reporter Nick Johnson said people could be seen coming and going from the pub. The court order means enforcement officers can retake the premises. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68854651

😆 Jumping before they're pushed.

A rare Mary, Queen of Scots letter written almost 500 years ago has been saved by conservation treatment. The document from 1546 granted the 4th Earl of Argyll land for the killing of 50 rebels against the Scottish Crown in Dumbarton. Mary became Queen of Scots when she was six days old, and would have been three or four years old when the letter was written on her behalf. A signature on the back is believed to hers. The letter was conserved and preserved by a team at the Highland Archive Centre in Inverness and will be returned to Argyll Estates' Inveraray Castle for the text to be fully transcribed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cedx4kq72l3o

Hubble Captures a Bright Galactic and Stellar Duo

Well, at this point all of Uri's concerns can be dismissed as those of a disgruntled former employee. Convenient. Kidding, of course. I think his concerns about audience political identification result from a mix of column A, NPR adopting a more liberal tone, and column B, the two way movement of that former conservative audience both rightward and leftward. I used to listen to NPR as an alarm clock. I'd get up when I'd finally get fed up some aspect of the coverage and slap it off.

Community planning? 😬

The number of MPs who have said they will leave Parliament at the next general election has reached 100. Conservative Tim Loughton, who has represented East Worthing and Shoreham since 1997, became the 100th MP to announce he was leaving the Commons. Most - 63 in all - are Tories, and they include former prime minister Theresa May. That said, 56% of the 650 MPs (365) who won their seats in Boris Johnson's landslide general election victory in 2019 were Conservatives. A total of 17 Labour MPs are also standing down, along with nine from the SNP, two from Sinn Fein, one from Plaid Cymru and one Green - the party's only MP, Caroline Lucas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68839793

My last flat in London before buying was 1400/month for a 2 bed. That was pre COVID hikes though.

Also, this part… Eruptions of fire…Hanno mentions this too… We sailed thence in haste and skirted a fiery coast replete with burning incense. Great streams of fire and lava poured down into the sea and the land was unapproachable because of the heat. We left there hurriedly in fear and sailing for four days we saw the land by night full of flames. In the middle was a high flame taller than the rest, reaching, as it seemed, the stars. By day it was seen to be a very high mountain called the "Chariot of the Gods"(8) Seems to me it was Mount Cameroon… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Cameroon

It doesn’t, the end times as setup in the Bible failed to occur as and when planned, leaving Christianity in a never-ending free-fall IMO. The Jewish take on Messiah and End Times depended on the physical destruction of Rome and the Romans which will never likely happen either. cormac

Tesla, the electric car company owned by Elon Musk, has recalled thousands of its new Cybertrucks over safety concerns. It is because their accelerator pedals currently risk getting trapped by the interior trim, increasing the possibility of crashes. The BBC recently spoke to a whistleblower at the company who had raised concerns over the safety of pedals of previous Tesla models. Tesla has been contacted for comment. The recall affects 3,878 Cybertrucks, which cost roughly $61,000 (£48,320), made between November 2023 and April 2024. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9ezp0lv039o

You remember who finally deciphered Linear B? Not a linguist.
