“Examples that make no sense? You’re telling me the people that lived in an around Spain, and other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea 300-400 years ago were “white people”.”

except the reference was to the skull caps not the bodies. As I’ve pointed out in another post mummification can occur naturally and one theory by the researchers is that skull caps may have been worn in life as well as death and been the “ancestors” of the child wearer. Ancestor is more clearly defined representing a…

Yeah, I’ll stick with white. Jesus Christ? Why not have just tossed out Nelson Mandela while you were searching for examples that make no sense?

I agree with you here. I’ll add mummification is not exclusively an intentional act. It can occur naturally. The article mentions a volcanic layer of ash and a famine. So widespread death of children and, potentially, soil conditions conducive to mummification could be a factor. Could be. I wouldn’t draw absolute concl…

You’re reading into the article your own misunderstandings. My understanding, and as used by archaeologists, is that “still fleshed” relates to having the flesh still attached to the bones. I don’t have to deduce anything further than that. It does not suggest the state of the flesh other than it’s attached to the…

Clear implication? I’m not sure what your point is. “(T)hese were heads with the skin still on them.” Yes, mummies, bog bodies, frozen bodies, dead bodies protected from the elements, recently deceased, all fit this category. “ Yes, those are considered fleshed. And?” AND being that archaeologists used a term that’s…

In the context of the comment by Nimo, referencing conquistador’s then yes “white”. In fact, there is centuries of empirical evidence that the descendants of conquistadors in the America’s maintained control of state functions and saw those with native blood as lesser. In fact, that continues to this day (Bolivia).

That’s a leap, considering mummies and bog bodies are considered “still fleshed”.

That’s a leap, considering mummies and bog bodies are considered “still fleshed”. The Northern Andes go from rain forest to snow covered within a couple of miles so snow packing bodies or an acidic, oxygen poor water source would not be difficult to locate when preserving a body. I believe it is the right call for…

Well, I’m certain pretending conquistadors were so aghast at what they saw that they had to wipe out the native populations is literal whitewashing of history. After all, it more likely played out with conquistadors saying, “OMG that’s so wrong! You should be gang banging nine year old’s, before flaying them alive.”…

Man, woman, sentient avocado toast...I don’t care, we’re getting married.

It’s such a weird response. “I’m obviously the RAPIST being referred to in the notes and it makes me scared for my safety because I’m a RAPIST and people don’t like us RAPIST’s and would like to hurt me, a RAPIST, just because I raped someone.”

These are trash and what genius asked for “every shade of pea soup” color palette.

I wonder what evangelicals will think of abandoning the Kurds which include large Orthodox Christian contingents to be slaughtered by a majority Muslim countries armed forces.

For contrast, a Dallas Police Officer removed a 12 year old boy and his brother, both wearing pajamas, from their home at 2am, drove them to a vacant lot, and murdered 12 year old Santos Rodriguez in front of witnesses. The kids last words were “I am telling the truth”, the brother attempted to comfort his corpse…

I’m surprised she got any time at all. The last cop who was convicted for murdering someone got only five years and served only 2.5 years. He murdered a handcuffed twelve year old boy wearing pajamas sitting in his squad car in front of witnesses. A boy he pulled from his bed at 2am. Like Botham, totally innocent of…

I don’t believe people appreciate how dangerous this situation has become. There are a significant number of people (white males) just waiting for trump to give the order. This will legitimize all the violent fantasies in their head while wrapping it in a blanket of bullshit morality (defending the president/country,…

BUT, the whistle blower complaint also states that other conversations were treated in a similar manner (moved to a secure, classified server) which was identified as unusual and were considered of concern. Probable cause has been established and an impeachment inquiry is an investigation. The inquiry is not limited…
