escott Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Thanks for sharing all of this. Lately I've been really interested in this region, too. It all started when I watched the video by Indigo Speaker, The True History of the Bible: https://youtu.be/DUBwboig61Q (YouTube won't allow this video to be embedded here for some reason). Anyway, I looked for other sources to back up what he says. I found what most people would consider "legitimate" sources to back it up. It's all true and totally destroys the worldview that many people in the Evangelical community hold. Then as I dug deeper and learned about things like the collapse of the Bronze Age, invasions by "The Sea People" during the collapse throughout the Mediterranean, chariots were invented in Central Asia, horses were domesticated in Central Asia, then horses and chariots were taken to the Middle East and Egypt, people from Central Asia we're part of the Hyksos along with Semites that briefly ruled Egypt, Indo-Iranian (the real Aryan people), Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language... I could go on and on. What I'm trying to say is that there is still much to be learned about the influence of ancient Central Asian cultures. I think they were way more advanced than people realize, just as much as Egypt, the Levant, and Mesopotamia. Edited May 22, 2019 by escott 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That Mountain really sings, as does the valley and that gem in the last one... woof! I'm a crystal/gem hound and a blade collector from way back. Been very keen on their presence since childhood and the setting for that stone is pure awesome. Tesla spoke of the awareness and presence of crystals at length. Would love to hear its story if you feel like sharing. I had that made for a wedding ring for my first marriage, (and I didn't pick it out of a catalog, just in case that thought came up). If I knew then what I know now I would say it was a premonition of a time long ago. The ruby that the jeweler used was like a five dollar cut-in-India rush job. I wore it all the time, in my metal shop and when working on cars and it got bashed around so much that all the corners were rounded off. Then once I bonked it against some firm part of a car engine and heard a soft but distinct high pitched crack sound. Well, lo and behold, my father in law of my third wife, who I was with at the time, was a crystal and gem hound and a master at his hobby, which was faceting stones. So he and I went to his 'hidden' gem store downtown to pick out a nice synthetic ruby. Synthetic rubies are chemically the same as natural rubies, they are simply a lot more pure and perfect. We searched through their big collection of ruby blanks till I found one that called out to me, it stood out as one that was just a bit lighter in shade, a bit brighter. ... and then the master did his work of love and gave it the best of all brilliant cuts and polishes. So, you could say it glows; and do you know how rubies glow under black lights? Edited May 22, 2019 by Starjumper 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeh Ming Zhu, or The Dragon's Pearl from Northern China. It's a unique member of the Flourite family, unique as it's the only flourite that glows from regular daylight, no UV needed. this is Lao. I affectionately call him 'the old man' or 'grandpa'. Here he's glowing in daylight and couched in magnets I shape into sacred geomentric shapes to bathe him in frequently (when he asks) and here he is at 4am, 7 hours after sunset while out camping. these things absorb and radiate energy so potently and uniquely.

Nungali Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Yes, modern history now includes Central Asia or BMAC as one of the 4 first civilisations ; Mesoptamia , Nile Valley , Indus Valley Civilisation, BMAC . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactria–Margiana_Archaeological_Complex My theory is that there was a constant influx of people to and fro from the Iranian Plateau during the Palaeolithic. As the southern part developed it was influenced by ingress from Andronovo . BMAC became a 'melting pot' and developed further what came to them. Also one would have to go down the Oxus and across to the east through modern day Kazakhstan to get onto the main 'Silk Route' via Samarkand (see map below - the obvious looking corridor from Samarkand into the Tarim Basin) . But they may have 'held' , in their territory some short cuts from the upper valleys that fed into the Oxus from the east ( see map below - East of Kunduz / Termez and south east of Dushanbe . It could have been advantageous and valuable territory. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.0702575,66.9104683,977771m/data=!3m1!1e3 (I forgot to finish this ) Then as B<AC fell into decline, the culture moves west to YAZ .. then we have a huge cross cultural and locale collapse and a big gap in the record. I assume they went further east or the places they utilised (in the Vendidad 'list of nations' ) came to prominence , closer to Anatolia. Then they expanded through the Zargos Mts to the south as the 'Parsa' , as the Assyrians recorded them , challenging the Assyrians, being defeated, but then uniting the tribes in the area and defeating the Assyrians and then taking over those tribes and forming the Persian Empire. These tyoe of movements out , to a new place, to pick up multi cultural influence, then isolate it and develop it and then returm 'home' sem to make the best cultures , the world changing ones. Its actually an alchemical process ; repeat stages of admixture and isolation - solve - coagulae Oooo ! Me potato pommes are ready !

I recently got a pocket UV flashlight to check out some new rocks I got ... URK ! Horrible orange glow like a cheap fluorescent marker Then the other night I got the idea to shine it over my mineral and gem and cactus garden outside at night .... WOW ! I had no idea that stuff was in there ! Interesting info about broken FRESH granite . Down the coast there is an amazing intrusion of it. It looks so clean and bright ( the 'new bits' ) and amazing energy, so i took a piece home . After a while its look and energy 'faded' . It comes from a strange place , an old jail where they locked up people during WWI ... for crazy shit , records show some Aussies where locked up there becasue they had German grandparents ! Anyway, its a beautiful place , now a holiday centre, apparently not long after its establishment , and due to its then isolation, they became lax ... yes you can go fishing , yeah, go and spend some time on the beach . So hey got 'punished ' sun baking and fishing while the good guys went off and fought in the trenches . yeah ... war never makes much sense Trial bay ; Gaol Granite bay "NO! You can not go and fight in the trenches ... you have German ancestry 4 generations back - we dont trust you !

So we smoked some and she says, "could you bring some chocolate upstairs" (to go upstairs during a rainstorm you need to use rubber boots and an umbrella, but this time it was dry with a full moon) so I asked how many chocolates to bring up and she says, "bring the whole tray".

escott Posted May 23, 2019 @Nungali This is an awesome article, I think, that sums up some of the concepts we've been discussing. It even mentions Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan. https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium-1177-bce-the-year-civilization-was-destroyed-1.5350507 It seems that we know so much more about The Iron Age, which makes sense since the farther you go back in time the harder it is to find things. But, the collapse of civilization probably didn't help. Much was lost. Like you said, though, people were moving all over the place exchanging technologies, goods, ideas, religions... The BMAC and Central Asia we're part of that complex network. Hopefully someday that area will stabilize and modern archeology techniques can be employed to uncover more.

Also I like gardening and flowers so some where on the table. It was winter so there was a fire in the fireplace.

"What the hell where you trying to do to Glenda last night ? " "HUH ? ? ? ummm ... be nice ?

' So I was ... and this is what I get , now all the women have the shits with me . " and walked off in frustration. Of course gossip there spread like wildfire.

A lot of people, in various subjects argue for this or that cause and reason . It is usually a combination of things . If there is any over riding cause in these matters , it is usually some type of climate change, or in some more localised cases , even the change in the course of a river.

Starjumper Posted May 24, 2019 1 hour ago, Nungali said: Thats not a velociraptor ... its your disassociated libido dragon wailing downstairs. I just wanted to say I'm liking the info on the BMAC, now for more thread drift. I found the velocirator in the cistern. It was a bamboo leaf that was occasionally, rarely, scraping against a metal rain gutter in the wind. I sleep out side a lot of the time upstairs. Upstairs is like our little two room house with a big front patio which is on top of the main house, but the main floor is buried in the ground, so it looks like a cozy little two room cottage from outside, and you have to go outside to get to it. With a bed room, main room with fireplace, and a little hidden away toilet room. The main room is open on one side with just a low wall, and there's a bed against the wall which I spend a lot of time sleeping in and meditating, so it's like sleeping outside but under a roof. It still gets misted at times when it is rainy and windy. The 'velociraptor' bamboo leaf was scraping agains the rain gutter close to my head, and the long metal rain gutter was resonating with the sound, making it a lot louder and with a kind of echo. So it was a kind of loud scraping, chirping, chattering sound. A lot like a bird chirping sound, but BIG. Too big to be a bird. It sounded like it was coming from the South so I got up and went to the South end of the veranda. From there it sounded like it was coming from the North, so I figured it was in the cistern, which would give it that echoing trait. Just think, I could have had a pet velociraptor.

I found a huge log with a hollow in it that was on water surface level, up against the bank, one end was open and split with water in it but the other end was angled deeper and had more water in it and the hollow ended inside the log, ie, only open on one end. Ripples from the rapids where making little waves go into the log and lap against the back wall in a gloop gllop clobble glibby blop gloggen glibbal noise ( told ya I couldnt describe it ! ) and being amplified back out the log like .

Love the owl video, we have a pygmy owl that hangs out by the A frame sheds at what we call Indian Village because Incas used to live there. I haven't seen it or heard it up here. Have you ever heard the scream of the mule? You just know they aren't meant to exist when you hear one of them, and they are loud too, you can hear one from way down and across the other side of the valley. They sound like some demon is being tortured and is screaming in agony. I guess it's good they do it once in a while rather than as a group. It would be interesting times to have a mule here at night and not tell a new volunteer about it. Usually there are no mules around here anywhere that can be heard, we just hear occasional cow moos and horse whinnys, and when close, horse farts. Horses make a kind of purring sound too, when they are extra excited about getting some treats. Fuckin' mule almost killed my fave horse, Spirit; so if I see a mule around here again the first thing I'll do is kill it, then we'll invite everyone in town to a big BBQ, and people in town know it.

" " What, is it some type of guys teasing game ; a romantic candle light dinner, a massage on a rug in front of the fire and when she says she wants to go to bed you send her home ! " " I was .... < clunk ! ( penny dropping sound ) > Ohhhhhh ..... Now I get it ! " (believe it or not I can be BOTH incredibly stupid and masterful with women - at the same time ) " Bullshit , you just being a bastard to her . " 'No way ! Hang on a minute now - how many times have I heard a woman go 'Oh you guys are only interested in sex ! Why cant you be nice without the thought of or the manipulation towards sex ? ' So I was ... and this is what I get , now all the women have the shits with me . " and walked off in frustration. Of course gossip there spread like wildfire. But after that, 90% of the nurses in the whole hospital where as sweet as pie to me . ... except Glenda - I never did bonk her . Poor Glenda = ) Ya, can't just be friends huh? You know, the real reason they're pissed is because they aren't hot any more. Well, the best you can do is smile and say, "I'm so sorry ladies, I took a vow some years ago", and the reason for the smile is that while you're saying that you're thinking: "If you want to see some real action send me your daughters" assuming the daughters are legal, of course ... and still hot, of course. The real reason they act like that is they are in fear, fear of their lives, not being hot anymore, they know, perhaps subconsciously, they've neglected their bodies in their race to be first to the slaughterhouse. Deep down they know they could still have excellent bodies - and minds - if they dedicated themselves to that, but they have good reasons for not doing that, as follows: Quote insert excuses here Quote " I was .... < clunk ! ( penny dropping sound ) > Ohhhhhh ..... Now I get it ! " (believe it or not I can be BOTH incredibly stupid and masterful with women - at the same time ) Oh Lordy, don't remind me, I'm such an idiot. Oh the gifts that I didn't open - Oh the sweet living I missed, forever ... Edited May 24, 2019 by Starjumper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
