I have read the observations by @reverendALC in a recent post on the 'How did the sand get into the Sahara Region?' thread and I was reminded of some obsevations I made a couple years ago and posted on some forum where they were gone totally ignored. The observations themselves will maybe show...

Ok, now i get where this is going...

I have read as a counter argument that plants may be harder to combust possibly due to be composed by a high percentages of water, but this is true for animal species as well and in any case just a month ago various fires spreaded all over Canada basically at the same time. What's the difference...

What I'm thinking is the famous line by Herodotus who said the Ister (Greek name of the Danube river) was parallel to the Nile. This is totally false in modern geography since they are in fact perpendicular, so there's only two possibilities: Herodotus was a complete idiot or he was describing...

I don't know if it was you who started noticing trees still standing after fires of different supposed origins (from wildfires to atomic bombs) raged through cities in the past but I certainly read it for the first time here years ago. Now I see various people pointing it out in regards to the...

I think not because chronology as we know it came out "only" starting from the XVI-XVII century and it was institutionalized from the start and considered the ultimate scientific proof which had to be adjusted in details and nothing else. So I guess there were few alternative chronologies around...

To be fair I know nothing of how sand is "created". I assume it's a byproduct of drought but what part of what becomes sand is a question mark for me. Is it possibly soft soil which becomes sand? Don't know! I'm open to different points of view. My point was that the Emperor of Ethiopia knew...

Sometimes ago I was translating some texts on maps from Tuscany dated to the XVI century and a peculiar "story", never heard on any modern history books, was given, which may be not the most outstanding or impressive idea but still to take into consideration. Sudan - Stefano Bonsignori - Google...

Back then it didn't come to mind but there's a contemporary "famous" example. I'm talking of businessman Urbano Cairo, where 'urbano' is still something relative to the city, while 'Cairo'.... it's the Italian name of the capital of Egypt 🤣 I was thinking about how Uwe Topper says there's...

I was given this link by @jd755 containing other more detailed information regarding John Dee. John Dee, King Arthur, and the Conquest of the Arctic There are some interesting points to make: This article doesn't mention the 'Inventio Fortunata' anywhere. Cnoyen was probably a contemporary of...

The real source of these informations is said to be the now lost book called 'Inventio Fortunata', supposedly written in the 14th century. Inventio Fortunata - Wikipedia A short summary in few points: In the early 1360s, an unnamed Franciscan friar writes the 'Inventio Fortunata' (now lost)...

Here there's a possibly useful tool to look for submerged lands and a different shape of the lands to search. If the climate was harsher in the Homeric times we should expect more land visible in the mediterranean and therefore less sea... Flood Map: Elevation Map, Sea Level Rise Map

Yes the usual five years old fresh on their indoctrination from school. If they survive the next 6 years they will suddenly repent and become boring depressed adults. I just add a link to this blog which tries to go deeper into Vinci's point of view adding more things: new_etymology During the...

This specific author locates Troy in southern Finland, as you can see on the "map" I posted previously. I know that he made a new "corrected" version of his own book recently, so something has changed but I'm not sure what exactly... certainly not Troy's location. All in all I'm not sure that...

Homer actually never calls Scheria an island, instead he repeatedly calls it simply a land. According to author Felice Vinci in his 'The Baltic Origins of Homer's Epic Tales', the entire Iliad and Odyssey are set in the Atlantic and Baltic Seas, not to mention the location of the enchantress...

@jd755 asked me to post this link. Restoring Charles Drake's concrete house

Never heard of any 'Siberian Wars'. In the light of Fomenko's reconstruction this is very interesting in any case, since he claims that the Romanovs took over Russia/Tartaria and really managed to impose their rule on the European part (Moscovia) only starting with the reign of Peter the Great...

A premise: I'm not a fan of Google Ngram Viewer as a tool to obtain meaningful insight about the true date of manuscripts etc. In my opinion this method is flawed by the concurrent diffusion of the printing press (not to mention, as a secondary point, the fact that we are talking about Google...

That's for sure. It answered your questions like a confused historian pressed by an angry recentist. I would like to repeat the exact questions you did. What should I do? Do I have to sign up? P.S. Is there another way to try it without giving the phone number?

I think I've got the final 'correct' translation. Hic dominatur et ambulat contra persos Noy princeps tartarorum et imperator super 600 armatorum virorum. Here rules Noah, prince of the Tartars and emperor of more than 600 armed men, and makes war against the Persians. Persians is written as...
