4,000-year-old PORN found in Bible (video)

WARNING: Cussing! Reference to sex and deviant acts from Hebrew and Christian biblical sources including bestiality recounted by giggling dummies reading from the Bible Reloaded!

Due to the popularity of the Wisdom Quarterly ancient Egyptian post, 3,000-year-old PORN discovered, we continue our archeological investigations -- this time to the perverted (pandaka) world of Biblical sex. As if Israeli Patriarch Lot, a hero of the Christian Bible (Genesis and Isaiah), offering his two daughters up to be raped by the bisexual rapists of Sodom weren't enough, or his having incestuous sex with them later (religioustolerance.org), the perversions actually came much earlier. Buddhist texts make reference to sex, but Buddhism is not nearly so uptight about it nor does it use it as the basis of blaming an entire group.
Lilith (Jewish Midrash) is nothing but trouble!
During the time of the Garden of Eden, before Eve and everything she has been blamed for, there was Lilith and another woman Naamah. Lilith's great crime was that she was a feminist who did not want to constantly make love missionary style, which she felt made her feel submissive. But the god YHWH and the man ADAM think she should be. So they coerce her, she refuses, and they convert her in his-story into a demon who makes love to demon, a baby killer, and a wet dream maker molesting poor young boys in their sleep. It's not your fault, men; it's women who tempt and seduce you; you should totally make them wear face veils and body-length coverings like your non-Judeo-Christian brethren.

(History Channel/Morningstar Entertainment) Who would ever have thought that such a simplistic creation myth could be connected to so much in our culture: sex, sexism, sin, Sumer (Sumerian history and the Epic of Gilgamesh), Jewish Chris Columbus, obsession with youth (thanks, Ponce), the real sources of "God," the "Gods," and other Bible stories?

Buddhist Vietnam's Son Doong or "Mountain River" Cave is part of the Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park grotto system in Vietnam's central Quang Binh Province. It is the world's largest cave to ever be discovered. Son Doong, which was found by a local more than 20 years ago, is more than 200 meters wide, 150 meters high, and at least 6.5 kilometers long.

of the world's most extreme environments like Hang Son Doong cave system.

Rappelling to go spilunking
But explorers say they have been unable to explore it fully. British researchers have recently determined that Son Doong is much larger than the world's biggest known cave.

The biggest section of Son Doong is five kms in length, explains Howard Limbirt of the British Cave Research Association team searching the area April 10-14, 2009. Son Doong is much larger than Deer Cave in Malaysia, currently considered the world's largest, an explorer said. (Deer Cave is only 90 meters wide, 100 meters high, and two kms long).

Hominoids, evolution, and us (video)

Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly; LloydPye.com; SciShow
Science vs. science: We did not evolve by gradual transition as we are taught (26:50).
Human origins? Everything we are told is wrong. But science and truth will surface.
 
The revolving evolving theory (RU)
(Nov. 2011) Lecturer Lloyd Pye puts it all together -- human origins and who we are as a species. Pye explains, with an amazing degree of scientific certainty, the four types of hominids on the Earth today (their archeological lines and distribution on the planet). Why has Wisdom Quarterly been talking about cryptozoology, "forbidden" archeology, ancient Indian and Sumerian mythology, or any other "outlandish" topic? We dare to question, to find in these verboten topics something about ourselves as earthling human beings. There are other kinds of humans, as we have pointed out before. But it will be a long time before mainstream science will admit its biases, errors, and cover-ups.

Hominoids (primates, prehumans): Yetis (upper montane, Himalayan range), Sasquatches (lower montane forests generally peaceful, probably omnivorous mainly-plant eaters, to be distinguished from cannibals, which Native Americans and Forest Service anthropologist Kathy Moskowitz Strain call "Hairy Man" and consider human), Almas (lower montane, possibly remnant Neanderthals, a human species surviving in Southern Russia and Western China), and Agogwes or the pygmies of the group mainly residing in jungles (South America [duende?], Africa, Indonesia). Where this would leave Australia's Yowie/Yahoo is unclear, but it is described as a Sasquatch by Aboriginals down under.

All of these "ogres" may be described by the general Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain term "yaksha" (yakshi, yakkha, yakshasa, rakshasa) -- intelligent brutes and beasts living apart from humans. The most famous is featured in the texts by the name of the Yakkha Alavaka. Yakkhas are cannibalistic hominoid* creatures so crafty and mean that the term is often simply translated as "demon." This is not to suggest that they are actually "demons" (titans, hellions) or devils, but simply brutally callous to human suffering.
The Buddha and the ogre (yakkha) Alavaka
The closest Buddhism comes to a "creation myth" is the arrival of advanced life forms on Earth (Bhumi) from space/sky (akasha deva loka) or "the heavens," a celestial plane. They then devolve into us, "Man." Interestingly, the word for the human realm is manusya-loka. This is gleaned from the Aggañña Sutra. What most fail to notice is that this discourse, often translated as "A Buddhist Genesis," does not talk about how life or existence originated. The story is about how "human" or humanoid life arrives on this planet cyclically. This did not happen one time; it happens over and over. The Buddha is famous for using Vedic lore and popular conceptions, imbuing them with a lesson, a parable of sorts. The sutra is very general and covers spans of time only Michael Cremo could countenance because ancient Indian time is measured in great aeons (maha kalpas), ages (kalpas), and epochs, which are indeterminate periods of time too large to measure and staggering to contemplate.
 
We are lied to about our origins on Earth
*HOMINOID: Some or all hominoids are also called "apes" [humans being the "naked ape" according to Desmond Morris; see below]. However, "ape" is used in different senses. It has been used as a synonym for "monkey" or for any tailless primate with a humanlike appearance. So the Barbary macaque, a kind of monkey, is popularly called the "Barbary ape" to indicate its lack of a tail. Biologists have used "ape" to mean a member of the superfamily Hominoidea other than humans, or more recently to mean all members of the superfamily Hominoidea, so that "ape" becomes another word for "hominoid." See Primate: Historical and modern terminology.

(Nov. 2013) The SciShow (Subbable, Facebook, Tumblr) explains where this over-simplified "March of Progress" magazine image of Darwin's evolution comes from. The scientist who used it was not confused, but we have been led to take this literally. What is it actually supposed to mean? SOURCES: wiki, evolution.berkeley.edu, mentalfloss.com, sci-news.com
  
The truth is much stranger than fiction.
We may be related to the "apes," but we did not evolve on Earth as they did. Archeologist Michael Cremo has found and presented evidence for the extreme antiquity of "modern" humans (Homo sapien sapiens). We are far older than 120,000 years, far older than 1,000,000 years, older than 100,000,000 years... How is this possible? What was here, what has been here and come to its demise, did not evolve from the popular fossil record many scientists use to theorize our origins on the planet. Evolution is occurring; this is not a fundamentalist Christian argument. But, as Cremo points out, we are currently devolving. Intentional genetic manipulation made us who we are, as Pye describes, and as the historical record from ancient Sumer and Egypt documents.
 
The Naked Ape
Naked Ape (amazon.com)
"A startling view of man [modern humans, the Homo sapien sapiens], stripped of the facade we try so hard to hide behind." In view of [hu]man's awesome creativity and resourcefulness, we may be inclined to regard [ourselves] as descended from the angels, yet, in his brilliant study, Desmond Morris reminds us that man is relative to the apes -- is in fact, the greatest primate of all. With knowledge gleaned from primate ethnology, zoologist Morris examines sex, child-rearing, exploratory habits, fighting, feeding, and much more to establish our surprising bonds to the animal kingdom and add substance to the discussion that has provoked controversy and debate the world over. Natural History Magazine praised The Naked Ape as "stimulating... thought-provoking... [Morris] has introduced some novel and challenging ideas and speculations." "He minces no words," said Harper's.  "He lets off nothing in our basic relation to the animal kingdom to which we belong... He is always specific, startling, but logical." More
