And whereas, with grateful thanks we recognize His hand and acknowledge that not unto us, but unto Him, belongeth the victory, and in humble dependence upon His almighty strength, and trusting in the justness of our purpose, we appeal to Him that He may set at naught the efforts of our enemies, and humble them to confusion and shame. Now therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States, in view of impending ...

Throwback Thursday: Daniel Boone's Daring Escapes by W. H. "Chip" Gross - Thursday, November 18, 2021 There is no more famous early-American frontiersman than Daniel Boone, but even given his great skills as a hunter and woodsman few realize that he was captured by Indians—more than once! Born in Pennsylvania in 1734, Boone first saw what the Shawnees called kan-tuck-ee in the late 1700s. No one Native American tribe claimed that land immediately south of the Ohio River, but several considered it their hunting grounds. In 1769, a sub-chief of the Shawnee—Captain Will—caught Boone and five others of his party hunting and trapping in what one day would become ...

English Channel: Expert explores 'ancient ghost town' underwater The English Channel is a notoriously difficult place to dive.

Once these difficulties are overcome, however, the seabed is a goldmine for archaeologists. Not only are there wrecks, ancient settlements sit on the floor of the Channel too.

A contrarian account of our prehistory argues that cities once flourished without rulers and rules—and still could. “The Dawn of Everything” aims to expand our political imagination by exploring how human beings once lived together.Illustration by Rob Sato Moments of sociopolitical tumult have a way of generating all-encompassing explanatory histories. These chronicles either indulge a sense of decline or applaud our advances. The appetite for such stories seems indiscriminate—tales of deterioration and tales of improvement are frequently consumed by the same people.

Origin Mystery of Perplexing Tarim Basin Mummies Solved with DNA Study
Post Date: 2021-10-31 22:13:57 by Ada

Located in northwestern China’s Xinjiang region, the Tarim Basin is a rich confluence of geology, history, and culture. In fact, it is speculated that this region may be one of the last to be inhabited in Asia. The region acquired international renown in the 1990s when hundreds of naturally mummified remains were discovered. Dating back to between 2,000 BC and 200 AD, these Tarim Basin mummies had a seemingly “Western” appearance. In order to solve this mystery and understand the origins of these first settlers in the basin, experts used genome sequencing. Their results have now been published in the journal Nature. One of the Tarim Basin mummies, a naturally mummified ...
What the CIA Is Hiding in the JFK Assassination

With President Biden succumbing to the CIA’s demand to continue keeping the CIA’s records relating to the Kennedy assassination secret, the question naturally arises: What is the CIA still hiding? (See my blog post of yesterday entitled “Surprise! Biden Continues the CIA’s JFK Assassination Cover-Up.”) To understand what they are still hiding and why they are still hiding it, it’s necessary to go back to the 1990s during the era of the Assassination Records Review Board — and even further back than that to November 22, 1963 — the day that Kennedy was assassinated. People often say that if the CIA and the Pentagon had orchestrated the assassination ...

The Battle Of The Bulge. In December 1944, German forces launch a surprise attack through the Ardennes Forest in Belgium. This is the story of the American tankers who helped defend the American line against Hitler's final gamble on the western front. Poster Comment:I knew an old guy who was a cannoneer for Patton. He told me he never missed a fire mission. He also said he got frost bite on his toes during the Battle of the Bulge but could not prove it happened in the service so he could not collect. He also told me he captured a German Major and the Company commander took credit for it.
