tfw you realize they haven't found Achilles' tomb yet
this motherfucker's tomb STILL hasn't been opened
legend has it that it's apparently loaded with traps, like small rivers of mercury and crossbows.
idk man, i hope it gets opened in my lifetime because i'm dying to know what kind of shit could be in there
>>2891271
Hasn't it been opened? Wasn't that the one with the terracotta statues?
>>2891281
Yeah nigga, they've uncovered most of the statues but the chinese gov is preventing anyone from opening it atm, largely out of fear that we aren't really prepared to do it

ptolemy gib body!!!
>>2891281
His tomb COMPLEX has been opened.
His actual TOMB, as in, where his corpse is, is still sealed. I frankly don't blame the Chinks for doing it. It'd be a political nightmare no matter what happens, it's almost guaranteed to be booby trapped, it's filled with mercury, and it's a sealed environment so opening it will make everything fall apart and decay super fucking quickly.

Our entire world would be completely unrecognizable based on that knowledge and information. It would probably be a far better world too.

>According to the Sawaguchi family's claims, Jesus Christ did not die on the cross at Golgotha. Instead his brother, Isukiri, [this is a Japanese corruption of Jesus' name, kinda like saying his brother was also called J.C.] took his place on the cross, while Jesus fled across Siberia to Mutsu Province, in northern Japan. Once in Japan, he became a rice farmer, married, and raised a family with three daughters near what is now ShingÅ. While in Japan, it is asserted that he traveled, learned, and eventually died at the age of 106. His body was exposed on a hilltop for four years. According to the customs of the time, Jesus' bones were collected, bundled, and buried in the mound purported to be the grave of Jesus Christ. Another mound near the alleged grave of Jesus is said to contain an ear of the brother of Jesus and a lock of hair from Mary, the mother of Jesus, the only relics of his family Jesus could carry when he fled Judaea.
It's not even /x/, it's straight up comedy
>>2891534
Aren't all religions more or less comedy? In the Mormon faith, a tribe of ancient Israelites came to America 600 years before Christ. And after Jesus' resurrection, according to the Book of Mormon, he visited America.
>>2891507
Or those Incan rope things that they used....the name is escaping me. But the Spanish essentially burned them all
>>2891559
Fair point. According to local Catholic traditions, Mary must've visited every shitty fucking town from Portugal to India, several of which are claimed to be her final resting place. That'd be the living Mary, not even talking about Marian apparitions.
>>2891571
I want to know.

This, basically scholars thought that the Inca did not have a written language until they realized that it was all in the ropes

Why did they have to choose ropes of all? Scratching wood boards are way easier.
Those remains of a big neolithic battleground from 7000 BC found somewhere in Baltic. A bunch of cavemen travelled there from various parts of Europe to fight and no one knows why.

Never heard of it actually sounds interesting, what is the name of the battle site?

I remember reading about it when it came out first, then i kinda forgot the details except that it was some big battle that happened long ago in the middle of nowhere.
>>2891777
Did the Trojan War actually take place on the Baltic coast?
>>2892896
Didn't a crack-pot write a book how he was sure that the events of the heroric age took place on coasts of the Baltic on account of the described geography not matching the Aegean and 'battles lasting throught the night' being more feasible in the Nordic summers? Like, I distinctly remember the map in the book, but I can't recall the name of the book.

My gf is Japanese and has informed me that, not only is the Jesus in Aomori thing well known, it's also widely accepted as fact because the people from that region 'speak different sounding Japanese.'

If I was a billionaire i would buy up a bunch of land in the middle of the U.S.A. and just dedicate it to building replicas of ancient architecture like pyramids, Incan walls, stonehenge, parthenon etc. I would just want people to actually get enough funding and material to reverse engineer how ancients built all this stuff and if it can be done by regular people without modern equipment.

There was a brilliant BBC documentary on this, but with castles, where they were building it completely by hand, using only medieval techniques.

They claim they have found Achilles tomb near Troy in Anatolia. When I went there there was a tumulus in a farmers field on the top of a hill which is claimed to be the tomb of Achilles about half a km or a little more from the city ruins. When Alexander the Great came he apparently dug up the tumulus and took his shield and put it at the vanguard of his army.

>you will never read ancient, in some cases 4000 year old esoteric knowledge in PDF format supplied to the public realm by Library of Alexandria that survived through the eras
IT FUCKING HURTS
>>2897410
Wouldn't the shield have deteriorated over the 1000 years?
>>2898849
Maybe an intentional piece of propaganda on alexanders part possibly had someone plant it there. I think it is mentioned in Arian that it was a medusa shield which was always at the front of the army.
