The Kuwaiti-Polish archaeological mission has unearthed what appears to be either a courtyard or a workshop for making jewelry and ornaments from shells in the Subiya dessert in northern Kuwait. This discovery is believed to date back to the Ubaid period of Mesopotamia approximately 7,700 years ago.

Assistant Secretary-General for the Antiquities and Museums Sector at the National Council for Culture, Arts, and Letters (NCCAL) Mohammed bin Redha said the mission has uncovered several pieces of jewelry in front of dwellings of the Ubaid period, in addition to numerous pottery fragments over 7,000 years old. The mission also found a piece of clay depicting a small human head, which is the first of its kind in the Gulf region.

NCCAL has recruited the expertise of various entities in Kuwait to collaborate with the Polish mission, particularly Kuwait University. The cooperation enabled the utilization of modern laboratory equipment to address questions about the origins of the materials found at the site, as well as to study the types of plants that could have been present at the site.

What's old is new again.

NASA scientists discovered an underground "city" buried 100 feet beneath the ice of Greenland.

Researchers were shocked when their advanced radar technology picked up signs of human construction deep beneath the ice of the island territory's tundra, according to the space agency.

Camp Century, an abandoned Cold War-era military installation, was rediscovered 100 feet beneath the ice by a NASA Gulfstream III back in April, according to a news release.

A few weeks before the creation of the State of Israel, Shepard Rifkin, a New York-based representative of the Stern Group, a Zionist paramilitary organization founded in Mandatory Palestine, requested that representatives of the group meet with Albert Einstein in the United States, "the greatest Jewish figure of the time" according to journalist I.F. Stone. Einstein's response was unequivocal:
"When a real and final catastrophe should befall us in Palestine the first responsible for it would be the British and the second responsible for it the terrorist organizations built up from our own ranks. I am not willing to see anybody associated with those misled and criminal people."
To grasp Einstein's prescience, one need only replace "the British" with "the Americans" and "terrorist organizations" such as the Stern Group and the Irgun with the Netanyahu government, the political descendants of the leaders of these groups, Menachem Begin and Yihtzak Shamir.

Will Trump's 'Secret JFK Files' point the finger at Israel?

It's November 22nd, which means we're in the midst of the 24 hours per year the mainstream media talks about JFK.

Except we're not.

Every year for as long as I can remember the anniversary of the assassination means stories like this, or this, or this. But, for some reason, this year is quiet.

Except for the Trump rumours of course. He's absolutely going to publish the sealed JFK files this time. Just wait. Any day now.

That's the mainstream media covered.

In the "alternate media", JFK coverage is different and has been for a while now. All anyone wants to talk about is Israel pulling the trigger. That's what Candace Owens says. And Mintpress News.

Apparently it was because JFK wanted to stop Israel getting nukes. Something that may be true, but does that merit a complex public assassination risking total alienation of the most powerful country in the world? Couldn't they just lie about having nukes (as apparently they did) until Kennedy's term was over? That's only five years later at most.

So, is this a valuable new insight? Or a deliberate effort to narrow and change the focus of the JFK narrative? A new solution to a "mystery" long-since solved.

Because while we may not know exact names of the trigger men or who gave precisely which order, a considered reading of the available evidence offers only one sustainable conclusion:

JFK was killed by the Deep State.

Professor Mark Munn of Pennsylvania State University has deciphered part of the inscription on the legendary Arslan Kaya Monument (also known as "Lion Rock"), a heavily damaged inscription that has been difficult to decipher for centuries.

The Arslan Kaya monument is carved into a volcanic rock formation approximately 15 meters high in the Phrygian highlands in present-day western Türkiye, near Lake Emre Gölü. The 2,600-year-old monument, features figures of sphinxes, an image of the goddess flanked by lions, and a nearly erased inscription written in the Old Phrygian language.

Professor Mark Munn claims to have deciphered it, saying it spells out ' Materan,' referring to a Mother goddess of the Phyrgians, whose worship flourished between 1200 and 600 BC.

This goddess, known to the Phrygians simply as "Matar Kubilea or Mother" was later revered by the Greeks as the "Mother of the Gods" and by the Romans as "Magna Mater" or "Great Mother."

In April, Professor Mark Munn had a chance to photograph the previously indecipherable inscription on Arslan Kaya, in western Türkiye. After analyzing his imagery, Munn has published his conclusion that Arslan Kaya honors the Mother goddess Materan, the leader of the Phrygian pantheon.

For understandable reasons, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers his most important messages in Russian, with speakers of other languages relying on translations to hear his thoughts. RT has used modern algorithmic technologies to have the statesman's messages delivered in English.

Oldest known alphabet unearthed in ancient Syrian city

Oldest Alphabet
© Glenn Schwartz, Johns Hopkins UniversityClay objects roughly the size of fingers were discovered during a dig at the ancient city of Umm el-Marra. The engraved symbols may be part of the earliest known alphabet.
What appears to be evidence of the oldest alphabetic writing in human history is etched onto finger-length, clay cylinders excavated from a tomb in Syria by a team of Johns Hopkins University researchers.

The writing, which is dated to around 2400 BCE, precedes other known alphabetic scripts by roughly 500 years, upending what archaeologists know about where alphabets came from, how they are shared across societies, and what that could mean for early urban civilizations.

"Alphabets revolutionized writing by making it accessible to people beyond royalty and the socially elite. Alphabetic writing changed the way people lived, how they thought, how they communicated," said Glenn Schwartz, a professor of archaeology at Johns Hopkins University who discovered the clay cylinders. "And this new discovery shows that people were experimenting with new communication technologies much earlier and in a different location than we had imagined before now."

Schwartz will share details of his discovery on Thursday, Nov. 21, at the American Society of Overseas Research's Annual Meeting.

A Near Eastern archaeologist, Schwartz studies how early urban areas developed throughout Syria and how smaller cities emerged in the region. With colleagues from the University of Amsterdam, he co-directed a 16-year-long archaeological dig at Tell Umm-el Marra, one of the first medium-sized urban centers that popped up in western Syria.

Embalming practices, once considered exotic rituals mainly linked to ancient Egypt or South American cultures, have now been confirmed in Europe at recent discoveries at Château des Milandes in Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, Dordogne, France.

These findings indicate that such techniques were employed among European aristocracy during the 16th and 17th centuries.

The remains of seven adults and five children from the noble Caumont family were all found embalmed in a crypt, along with a separately buried woman.

According to archaeologists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), the discovery will provide significant insights into the first historical embalming methods in Europe.

Caroline Partiot from ÖAW, said "Our examinations of a complete individual and the almost 2,000 fragments show a careful and highly standardised technical treatment of the deceased, which is similar for adults and children. This shows a know-how that has been passed down for over two centuries."

New DNA evidence from the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii reveal that many of the presumptuous narratives about the charred victims are entirely false, according to a new study.

Researchers, including some from Harvard University, focused on fourteen of the castings of bodies that were created in the late 1880s to preserve the remains of the victims of the historic volcanic eruption, according to the study published in the journal Current Biology.

Germany: Comatose and Without Sovereignty

Introduction

If you look at the current situation with a cool eye, you can only wonder how a country that set cultural, scientific and industrial standards until 90 years ago could completely lose its compass.

First it was destroyed by Hitler - the Germans allowed this to happen. Then Germany became a vassal - the Germans allowed that to happen. Finally, they managed to drive the former industrial jewel of the world to the wall with the most incompetent leadership you could dream of. A new government with Merz as Chancellor will do nothing to change this, as he has already been bought and paid for by the hegemon.

This article is therefore not about the political kindergarten in Berlin, which can hardly be put into words, but attempts to describe the fundamental problem of this great country and provide food for thought.
