The Mystery of the Cocaine Mummies

In the 21st dynasty of the Pharaos, 3,000 years ago, there took place one night at a temple, the funeral of Henut Taui - the Lady of the Two lands.

Compared to the great rulers of Egypt, her burial was a modest affair. But just like the Pharaos, she too was mummified, and her body placed in the depths of a desert tomb, in the belief it would give her immortality.

In an unexpected way, it has. Her mummified body waited throughout recorded history - the Greeks and Romans, the Dark and Middle ages, the Renaissance and Napoleon, until in the early 19th century, her tomb was plundered.

The king of Bavaria bought the ornate sarcophagus with the mummy inside. He gave it to a museum in Munich, where for another century, Henut Taui lay undisturbed.

Then four years ago a German scientist, Dr Svetla Balabanova, made a discovery which was to baffle Egyptologists, and call into question whole areas of science and archeology to chemistry and botany.

She discovered that the body of Henut Taui contained large quantities of cocaine and nicotine. The surprise was not just that the ancient Egyptians had taken drugs, but that these drugs come from tobacco and coca, plants completly unknown outside the Americas, unheard of until Sir Walter Raleigh introduced smoking from the New World, or until cocaine was imported in the Victorian era.

It was seemingly impossible for the ancient Egyptians to get hold of these substances. And so began the mystery -




I watched TV show about thios. Was interesting.

An Egyptian tablet about the Djed festival is in a museum in Davenport, Iowa, where a Protestant minister found it about a hundred years ago.

Thanks Saber. That's quite a lot of information.

Obviously this has been documented and widely known for a long time but most of us are just hearing about it. In a similar vein National Geographic tonight on TV and this month in their magazine is covering a huge dig in Georgia, former Soviet Union, in which skulls of human origin dating to 1.8 million years along with stone tools and animal skeletons are being found in large number.

Obviously the time lines so rigidly taught and hewn to in our educational systems and bastions of acedemia are pure bullshit.

And we thought science learned it's lesson from that whole Galileo screw up. The more things change the more they remain the same.

Thank you. It's a hoax.

Awesome BUMP!

What do you think about the Egypt/America link in post #15? That would explain the mystery, or at least part of it..

[Iwentsouth]

I find it all facinating and very plausable.

I think so much has been lost from the past. They have found Austrailian Aboriginal evidence in South America too.

I find it all fascinating

The figures carved into rock appear to be Egyptian, but they also don't appear to be saying anything. There is not much doubt anymore that civilizations were sailing all around the world long before Phoenicians.

>In 1931 in the N.W. Kimberley's, Prof. A. P. Elkin, Professor of Anthropology at Sydney University came upon a tribe of Aborigines who had not met a white man before. The professor was astounded when tribal elders greeted him with Ancient Secret masonic hand signs. He was struck by the startling sematic features present in the natives. He discovered the Aborigines worshipped the sun. They also had an earth mother and Rainbow Serpent Cult. Later he discovered many of the words spoken were of Egyptian origin. This is the area of the famous Wandjina Cave Art. According to legend the Wanjina came from across the Indian Ocean in great vessels.

So boats float and boats carried pagan sungod worshippers, like satanism/witchcraft today, around the world.  Perhaps "multiculturalism" is just a fancy way of saying the devil is taking over and if you're white and/or against evil you are in disfavor.  It will undoubtedly get narrowed down to 'if you are Jew or Christian you are bad and every other multiculture is okay.'  Satanism and witchraft is found in every culture in the world, and we need to be careful we are not seduced into worshipping another spirit and find out too late we have worshipped the beast.

The secret handshake cropping up in Australia was a bit of a surpise.  Was the same hand carrying a boomarang?

The link from blam in #18 is fascinating:  Ancient Celtic In New Zealand.   Click and see how the NZ government is covering up**** that Europeans came in much earlier than is officially stated:

WHO WAS HERE BEFORE THE POLYNESIAN / MELANESIAN MAORI?

New Zealand archaeologists and historians, when confronted with dissenting points of view that challenge their official, sanitised and "politically correct" version of regional history, generally respond with a standard, "off the shelf", comment: If anyone was here before the Maoris then where's the proof? In what must be the most blatant example of, not seeing the forest for the trees, the answer lies in the totality of Maori culture itself.

The proof is in the carvings, the symbols, the canoes, the nets, the weaves, plaids, mokos (facial tattoos) buildings, fortified positions, sculptured hills, trig marker mapping systems, canal and drainage systems, greenstone artefacts, oral traditions and ruined stone structures, such as standing stone circles, covering the length and breadth of New Zealand. A few centuries ago the former civilisation was overwhelmed and annihilated by the Maori warriors and all possessions were taken over by the conquerors. Burial caves all over New Zealand contain the remains of red, brown or blond haired Indo-European skeletons.
****Note: We have testimony from eye-witnesses and participants, that the New Zealand authorities have ordered that particular caves, known to contain non-Polynesian / Melanesian skeletons and artefacts, have their entryways covered & concealed... and in one instance, by bringing in a bulldozer. Megalithic New Zealand part 1

,,, that handshake virtually guarantees you a job in one particular Aussie trading bank, the Queensland police force or as a judge.

Darn, there have been some good posts today! I translated part of the glyphs for you. Please pass on to the proper authorities:

"Then came we to this land by the grace of SNAFU."

[Calvin Locke]

My thoughts, too. Better suited to the Art Bell show for entertainment value.

(Although, last night, checking the AFA-B ng, the guest was using real scientific logic and reason to discredit
about half of this year's crop of guests. I record them for later listening. Guess I'll check it out tonight.)

A good read - bookmarking for later reference. :)
