  • x2cprincess, on 06/08/2009, -1/+2Your find was news too; not all news has to be groundbreaking on a mainstream level. I'm sure the archaeological community considered your find newsworthy.

    Sorry that your team had to put up with a wet blanket like you. I'm sure they loved your enthusiasm.
  • inactive, on 07/06/2009, -0/+1dugg down for using bit.ly
    hahaha
  • drgmdp, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1yup, decades.
  • inactive, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1This thing about sacrifice is not so simple.. I believe they used pyramids etc to ascend their souls to the next density and simply left their bodies behind. People who didn't shift probably honored ascension accomplishment and mummified the bodies as hallmark of successfull transition. Brains were removed as fail safe system so that they couldn't return to mortal body.
  • zenthax, on 06/08/2009, -0/+1decades?
  • hazard99, on 06/07/2009, -0/+1That probably was their logic. Its what they knew and believed to be true.

    Don't kid yourself into thinking you wouldn't be killing girls to prevent a flood if you lived at that time.
