Unearthed, the prince of Stonehenge
By Roger Highfield
(Filed: 21/08/2002)
A prehistoric prince with gold ear-rings has been found near Stonehenge a few yards away from the richest early Bronze Age burial in Britain.
Earlier this year, archaeologists found an aristocratic warrior, also with gold ear-rings, on Salisbury Plain and speculated that he may have been an ancient king of Stonehenge.
The body was laid to rest 4,300 years ago during the construction of the monument, along with stone arrow heads and slate wristguards that protected the arm from the recoil of the bow. Archaeologists named him the Amesbury Archer.
Now they have found another skeleton from the same period five yards away. The remains are those of a man, aged 25 to 30, buried in the same posture, on his left side with his face to the north, and legs bent.
His grave was bare, containing only the sharpened tusk of a boar, but contained the basket shaped ear-rings. The man may have been the archer's son, the prince of Stonehenge, said Dr Andrew Fitzpatrick, who led the dig by Wessex Archaeology.
DNA testing on their teeth will be carried out to find out if the two bodies are part of the same royal family.
Around 100 artefacts were found in the archer's grave -10 times as many as at graves from a similar period elsewhere in Britain.
The grave is dated to about 2300BC - around the time at which Stonehenge's inner circle of bluestones was being hauled from the Preseli mountains in South Wales.
The king, who was 5ft 9ins tall, lacked a left kneecap, suggesting he had suffered a serious injury. He was aged 35 to 50 when he died, when he was placed in a timber chamber about three miles from Stonehenge.
A valuation committee must now put a figure on the finds after David Masters, the Wiltshire coroner, declared the discoveries treasure.
The British Museum and the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum have both expressed an interest in providing the archer's final resting place.
John and Sylvia Savidge, who own Red House Farm where the burial chambers were unearthed, may receive a cash reward once the treasure has been valued.
Yeah, I threw that post in there because this thread has almost ran it's course and not too many besides you would see it.
But it's biblical:
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.
Deu 3:11 For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
Og's bed was ~18 feet long.
There's enough masonry in the Pyramid to build a highway from New York to L.A. Also the Egyptians plastered everything they built with hyroglyphics, the Great Pyramid has none. Also there is no record of the construction of the Great Pyramid, something of that magnitude should have been recorded. The builders, if human, had help, at least.
There will be a third influx:
Luk 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
The days of Noe means the days of the Nefilim's offspring. The Nefilim's offspring were killed in Noah's flood.
...and not only that: since humans evolved in Africa, presumably all of us descend from folks who were sun-adapted, i.e., black-skinned. Now, if all our great-great-etc. grandparents were black, what does that make us?

Modern Jews are a mixture of many ethnic strains. In all likelihood, Sephardic Jews have a greater degree of the original genetic heritage of the Jews of Biblical times than do the Azhkenazic Jews, though both groups carry the "seed of Abraham." However, the mixture of ethnic strains among modern Jews is different from that of the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic peoples of the British Isles.

What for I wonder?
Don't need to dig - need to go over it with ground-pentrating radar. THEN dig...
Archers often wear forearm guards to protect against a stinging slap from a bowstring. As a kid, when it happened, I thought the string was hitting my arm on the way forward. However, the phenomenon might in fact be a "recoil" of the string.
Yup. That is about the time the meteorite crashed into Iraq. (The crater was recently discovered.) The tree ring data show a severe problem worldwide at 2354BC. Also, it is recorded in Egypt that this period was so severe that people began eating their children."

Stonehenge. Still don't know who or why.
I'd forgotten about LostTribe... an interesting poster.
"interesting" is one way to put it. :')

I dunno. If he's wearin' earrings, he might be the queen of Stonehenge, thweety!
“These Jews, which everyone agrees are Hebrews/Semites/Israelites just happen to look like and could easily be confused with their Israelite cousins, European and American whites who are of Celtic origin. The Celts and the Jews are genetic cousins via Jacob/Israel. All are offspring from Abraham/Isaac/Jacob/Israel, and all are Hebrews, Semites, and Israelites.”
Sheesh ! You could write a book? An Empire unto themselves ? /sarc
