Pfft, I clicked on those links and didn't see a single cat.  Weak.


I really wish I had gone into archaeology.  Nice and quiet.  Nice and relaxing.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Göbekli Tepe and surrounding sites.

Read the article about it in NatGeo. I especially liked that the oldest temple is the most intricate and artistic, while the later ones become increasingly crude. Atlanteans? Old Ones? You decide! :P

I'll help you out; Archaeological and 

Archaeoastronomy/Astro-archaeology (is the study of how people in the past "have understood the phenomena in the sky how they used phenomena in the sky and what role the sky played in their cultures")

not Xenoarchaeology (is a hypothetical form of archaeology that exists mainly in science fiction works concerned with the physical remains of past (but not necessarily extinct) alien life and cultures. It is not practiced by mainstream archaeologists)

Interesting to say the least. Putting any Atlantean theories aside.

Bellosh is an old Czechoslavakian recipe consisting with bread dough, and cheese and potatoes.   :hmm: :huh:

My brother has an archaeology degree and worked as a field archaeologist for like 2 years after college.  His job was basically this: whenever someone wanted to break ground on anything Pennsylvania considered to be in a "Native American cultural zone", his company sent archaeologists to examine the area and do exploratory digging.  Sound fun?  It was, but the pay was like $12 an hour and the company wouldn't cover his travel expenses and lodging, so on some of his digs he actually *lost* money, but was contractually obligated to do them.

He eventually wised up, and is now a regulatory compliance manager for T-Mobile. :cool:

Holy shit.  I didn't see it!
