Along With Us

Youth and children can learn right along with us.

                We can say "Whad'ya know Joe"?" or ''I don't know." In our history we can discover useful stories, much honesty, and even approach some reality. Yuval Noah Harari seems to be helping many youngsters and youths begin this process well.

We Have A Lot To Learn About Our Ancestors ⛏️

 We have inherited much of our being from our parents, grand parents, and ancestors Much information of them is available to use. We have ignored much of that data. It may be valuable to us to better know who we are and from whence we spring. 

Isis

 Now and Then

 

Isis is an asset and a source of divine power from the Old Kingdom of Egypt. She is the first daughter of Geb* and Nut.
She married her brother Osiris who I know here in Colombia. The Moors knew Isis before they knew Spain. Ave Maria!

 

*Geb was first seen as a man, a man who cared for earth. His daughter and son later became highly venerated in ancient Egypt.

What has Isis become for us? ISIS?

Neanderthal Recalled

 Mago Bill, archaeology: We have a lot more than Neanderthals now, but let's remember the neanderthal we know.
 

                Neanderthals lived in Europe perhaps 400,000 years ago and may have been in that region more than twice that many years ago.

                Neanderthals may have lived in Spain(Cidron) as recently as 49,000 years ago. They may have practiced cannibalism there as recently as 60,000 years ago.

                Mysterian Neanderthals may have lived as recently as 28,000 thousand years ago.

                It seems that many Neanderthals may have had red hair. 

                It seems that through important periods of time Neanderthals may have been fewer than "us." Nearly all of us are probably partly Neanderthal. 

                Dramatic climate changes and severe weather impacted us and Neanderthals. 49,000 years ago Neanderthals were a dying race.

                I'll write more abundantly about our old friends, our old cousins when ever you wish. Let me know in "comments" below. However, by searching the 60 posts on this blog you may find all you care to know waiting for you right here. By checking the info already here you may find more specific questions to ask me. Also you may be able to correct errors I have made or add new information yourself.

Red Indians: not in Europe!

 History With RCS, archaeology, prehistory, history, and a little conjecture

                Why did newcomers to to the east coast of North America, years before and after 1500 AD, often speak of red Indians? I have seen many Indians from coast to coast in the U.S. and  none looked red to me. Once I did see a Navajo "medicine man" painted red for a purification ceremony.

                Painted.

                My questions, as to why east coast Indians were so often called red, have not been answered. So, I have looked around a bit and trying to make an 'educated' guess.

                So far, I have discovered that professionals have written about a Red Paint People on the northeast coast of North America known mostly by their burial remains. Burial sites found all over the east coast of Canada and the U.S. The east coast where the term Red Indian was most used. Those Red Paint People used what looked to be red paint to color their grave sites and their dead red. It has been said that those sites were dated from about 4500 BP to about 1000 AD.

                Could ancestors of the Red Paint People have been painting themselves red when some of our ancestors arrived

                Red.

                Then, in the literature, I found discussion of a Red Ochre People having lived in much the same area. They have been dated back to 5000 BC or earlier. They too spread red coloring around their dwellings, burial sites, and over their dead. May they not have colored their living red? May the not have had some family colored red around 1500?

                I observed, not so long ago, Indians who passed their days at Santo Domingo do los Colorados, Ecuador with their skin colored red.

                So then, could it be that in those early days of discovery and exploration our ancestors were not color blind, but that rather they actually observed native peoples colored red?

                Maybe later, words about the Ancient Maritime People of all around the North Atlantic who liked the iron oxide red coloring greatly may be an appropriate.
