Is it inevitable that homo sapiens will one day be extinct?

So a note on the map for genetic paternal haplogroups.

Indeed J1/J2 are Anatolian/Mesopotamian however- certain communities like the Armenians and Assyrians (both Christians) are predominantly R1B and not J1/J2 majority. Even a large amount of R1A is within these two populations.

A good video summary of Younger Dryas and the flooding evidence.

I've always found this stuff super interesting. I'm thinking of going to college and I'm considering taking some courses on this. Do you think they get into this kind of deep stuff like ancient civilizations in college or do they stick to more vanilla stuff?

They most certainly do not. They don't even get into the cool confirmed "lost civilizations" like Tocharians. Blond-haired, blue-eyed pyramid builders in western china that used marijuana.

Antropology is an extremely leftist field, which is unfortunate, cause it is also really interesting.

I suppose archeology is not quite as pozzed, but it has a lot of "wag the dog" level arguments.

History probably has more room for more right wing/conservative oriented students, cause it's more difficult to deny the written word. They do try though, their favorite is to claim all antique history writing to be "symbolic or myth". Then when someone actually takes it as truth, they stumble upon Troy for example.

What are you talking about? They STILL smoke weed in China! I swear on my nan's grave that stuff I smell when I walk by just about every traditional medicine clinic or hospital is mary jane! I saw some of it from a distance and it looks like a powdered hashish. My wife thinks I'm crazy but I keep telling her that they are burning weed in there for therapeutic use! I'm from America. I know weed when I smell it ok?!! MJ illegal in China? My ass!

It's an extremely political field. Not just so much about what mainstream history/science narratives are about, but the universities themselves. If you are not tenured, good luck getting sponsors for digs and funding. Private funding comes from elitist monied art loving patrons. Extremely leftist by default. Just my own observation but, it seems like most get lucky with either a huge book, big discoveries, or both. Others grind it out being the bitch of another famous name for a long ass time.

Either way, make your own fortune and luck. If you like it so much, mix it with as many STEM degrees as you can. Guys with Biology, Chem, Engineering, etc. degrees PLUS those Archaeology and Anthropology fields seem to be alot stronger than their peers.

Just found out about the Osirion





Those cut patterns in the rocks! Look EXACTLY like that megalithic site in Peru!!! Not to mention the nobs!

Ancient Egyptians did not cut this stuff with copper tools. Neither did the Ancient Peru peoples. This was a civilization older than them that did this.

With technology good enough to make cut granite stone this well, they had to have the ability to sail across ocean water. If the sea levels were 400 ft less than today, those waters were not as deep, perhaps even had a milder climate, possibly milder hurricane/storms.

Then there is the other issue of giants. We know what 6 foot tall men can do. Worlds Strongest men contestants can pull firetrucks and toss kegs and they are 6'4+ and 350 pounds. What sort of physical limits do 9ft and taller men have? Has anyone ever tried to calculate that?

If Goliath in the Bible is a post flood man alleged to be around 9.6 ft tall, how tall were pre-flood men?

One thing I always took into account was how the ozone layer was much thicker and stronger in prehistoric times. Plants and animals were much larger (dinosaurs etc.). The Bible and other ancient writings discuss humans with long lifespans. Did that Younger Dryas event weaken the ozone layer further making men shorter and live shorter lives? Then there is this Anunnaki business the Sumerians talked about. What the heck are those? Nephalem or something? How did they know that the planets orbited the sun?

Even if we could account for large human beings performing labor to build these things, how in the hell do you explain the laser grade precision cuts in the rocks? Not even a pin can be squeezed between them. No mortar needed. Locked in tight. Tuning forks? Steel? I can imagine that steel cannot last in the ground rotting for several thousands of years. In a 1000 years from now, no cars rotting in a barn from the 1950s will be around. Only rock does not rot or decay like this.

Really the only thing missing is a giant's skeleton. Wacky videos and strange photos are always floating around but nothing mainstream seems to be found on that.

My head is spinning like crazy!
