In the Dark About The Dark Ages?

A nice, concise explanation from NC :   Let’s skip the indefinite period up to the IXth century. After this, begins a new chapter in the history of China allegedly from 860 to the year 960 AD. That is approximately 100 years of darkness. L.N. Gumilev calls it “the dark age” and builds some geophysical […]

Very Important Historical Point

NC (in the excerpt below) makes this V.I.H.P. Basically – the damage had Already been done before they decided to play jiggery pokery with Chinese history. It makes sense to me :o)   The landmarks of the parallelism between the Chinese and the phantom European history before the X century A. D.   We haven’t […]

Tall, Blue-Eyed, Fair Haired

I think of Viking when I see that. But then – I’m unashamedly biased :o) From NC :   The identity of the “ancient” Chinese Mongols.  References to the Mongol inhabitants of the Ancient China are unlikely to surprise anyone – the modern Mongols still live there, and the modern Mongolia borders with China. These […]

Wide Eyed & Clueless

I got there. Eventually. Celebrate. Oh. Now I am actually “there” — —What do I have to do? Where to go? Hello. Excuse me. Jumping up and down here. I paid for the ALL IN PACKAGE.  Where is my luggage? Where is the Tour Guide???   Shrug. Let’s see where this road leads :o)   […]

The Cryptic Clue

As said in The Hound of the Baskervilles : We hold several threads in our hands and the odds are that one or the other – guides us to the truth. I had to use both West and East parts of the map :o)

Stuck in China with Five Barbarians

So. I thought I’d finally reached where I’ve been going. But… …a final fact check (the meaning of a certain name) took me right back to China. I should be peeved but it has actually double-reinforced the fact that I was checking out. Woohoo :o)   Wiki : Five Barbarians   Wiki : Xianbei

Fast Backwards

Time and Tide etc… Quick History Reset and then I can get to the place I’m headed!   “Ivan Samuilovich Greig (1776–1802), traveled to China but was never heard of again.”   No bloody wonder he got lost, never heard of again. China was jam-packed with Tartars, Turks and  Eastern Europeans!!   From NC : […]

China

A couple of days ago, I was handed a cryptic clue. Aha – thought I. I Can Do That :o) I think I may/might/could’ve solved it. But I didn’t expect to go via China.     Or get tangled in Ancient vs Modern Chinese glyphs and phonetics! Did you know? Yao-Su-Mu means Joseph (?) Kol-Li-Chi-Sy […]

Columbus, Cathar, Templar, Genoa and More.

All in one single paragraph. From AMP : On the other hand, it does make sense that Columbus represents the Genoese and/or Catalan authority of the Order of the Temple of Solomon (which until now has been the main maritime authority of the military arm, as evidenced by the paintings of the discovery and world […]

Capitulations of Santa Fe

Wiki : Capitulations of Santa Fe   From Andreu Marfull Pujadas’ article (linked earlier) :   In addition, the surprising concessions to the admiral Columbus of the Capitulations of Santa Fe, sealed in Barcelona before consuming the “discovery”, are not congruent. These capitulations make no sense, neither the distribution of the world between the Hispanic kings […]
