Renaissance Woman User ID: 81936595 ![]() 11/19/2022 06:10 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | a list of interesting things, links to past content is great as well. i look at tonight's posts and it is so boring. is it because they won ? did we lose our curiosity beyond when doom is coming and politics and sports. Quoting: panther0621 No, it got sidetracked by deep state and M/I/C. 1950s and 60s CIA ops like exploding cigars and drug experiments...Doom threads... They just seem so tame to the operations going on last 20 years. That and the facebook crowd that settled here and makes facebook style posts non-stop that are always pinned. That being said, I'll tell you something relatively unknown from the history books. In Julius Caesar's account of his conquests of western gaul, he described the barbarians of one particular coast town to have ocean vessels akin to galleons. Ships able to adeptly handle rough seas and tides far better than the roman ships. Caesar had to use extreme tactics including brute force ramming and rappeling because the barbarian ships were designed for deep-ocean travel and danced around the roman ships. That account makes a guy wonder how in blazes the barbarians got those kind of craft. Could that style of ship made a trans-atlantic crossing? Judging by the account, it certainly is possible. They absolutely were transatlantic. No doubt in my mind. "For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light." |

They absolutely were transatlantic. No doubt in my mind. barbarians. Yah. barbed arians. Greek word created to describe foreigners which had light skin and little hair (compared to greeks). In ancient greek lore, it is said that they 'suddenly' emerged from the Caucasus mtns . hence the word "Caucasian"). I got that info from an old greek book of mine. the Nords were on the east coast before any 'native americans'.. Proof everywhere on that, but it always gets shuffled into a dark corner when it comes to light. |
