Researchers: Ancient human remains found in Israel

[irishspirit]

JERUSALEM—Israeli archaeologists said Monday they may have found the earliest evidence yet for the existence of modern man, and if so, it could upset theories of the origin of humans.

A Tel Aviv University team excavating a cave in central Israel said teeth found in the cave are about 400,000 years old and resemble those of other remains of modern man, known scientifically as Homo sapiens, found in Israel. The earliest Homo sapiens remains found until now are half as old.

"It's very exciting to come to this conclusion," said archaeologist Avi Gopher, whose team examined the teeth with X-rays and CT scans and dated them according to the layers of earth where they were found.

It's a good news ..

But on side note...I can imagine that Israelites would be really excited if origins of advanced mankind would belong to 'Holy Land' of Israel,

such as Buddhists perhaps would be happy if it was in Bodhgaya ,

or Mount Kailash ..

:lol:


But if it's proved that mankinds true home and origin is in faraway stars , none will be too excited or happy about being here.

Religions as well as secular laws are terrestrial in nature .


The truth of our origin was concealed carefully and long if it ever surfaced.

There are always plenty of 'solidified' remains and masters of earthly law around to prove that majority of material found on earth is earthly

Truth is not a commodity and if so, it will be always too costly to sell


Peace :angel:

The thing I find... is that I recall the destruction of the 7000 years of human history, the real history, destroyed in a Baghdad museum, the very night and the very time of the first air strike.

Then I read this.

I smell an agenda. i smell a method of using history to cement the Judaic history. First by destroying Baghdad and the contents of the museum and then the 14 MAJOR 'planet wide important' archeological digs that were shut down and one of them was HUGE and covered ...400 acres, JUST outside of Baghdad. it was considered the most important archeological dig in known history.

So we ended up with..a 400 acre American green zone...right , well..guess where.

As for the 14 incredibly important and connected dig sites..well..we ended up with..well..14 private contractors with 14 bases run by them. Take a guess what land these bases ended up being on.

So now we have this thing coming out of Israel.


Right.

You are right !

Besides it is vital for Israel to historically substantiate their right to occupy the territory against the Arab Nation.

But the destruction of the heritage areas goes beyond what one thinks.
We remember what happened. The American military command did not ensure the security of the Museum of Baghdad, thus creating objective conditions for their loot. Barbarians pillaged the National Museum. Some said the looting was done by Iraqis, that meant they did not comply with their history. Why would others would do so ??? . I confess that I read this argument a few times but I do not remember who and where.

Very civilized, the culture secretary of the Bush administration, resigned. Perhaps he himself fiercely anti-American in light of the events .

And then, more than one year after the event, the nearly 15 000 pieces from the collection of the Museum of Baghdad, Iraq, were still missing. Countries such as Iran and Turkey insisted on not cooperating in efforts to recover the stolen antiquities.

On the other side, there was the director of the museum, Donny George that went to Jordania for a conference meeting .Present were Interpol officials and representatives of the United States and European countries. There he took the opportunity to underline the efforts of Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, whose officials had recovered hundreds of pieces trafficked. He also said that they knew that there were Iraqi antiquities passing through Turkey and Iran, but had never received news of these countries.

To cut the tale short, the director of the museum in Baghdad said Syria and Kuwait had recovered many artifacts ,but that the museum's 15,000 pieces were still missing.Among them there was a statue of a Sumerian king (about 2400 BC).

He also said that because in Iraq there are more or less, 100 000 archaeological sites, of which only 10,000 are registered, there is an inability to protect everyone,.... besides the biggest problem currently is the ongoing looting of all archaeological sites. It's a «mess». !!!
