ONE OF THE MOST CRAZIEST SKULLS EVER FOUND STOLEN NOT ON RECORD

March 18, 2013
This was allegedly found about an hour from where i currently live,,,





Several human skulls with horns protruding from them were discovered in a burial mound at Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in the 1880's. With the exception of the bony projections located about two inches above the eyebrows, the men whom these skeletons belonged to were anatomically normal, though at seven feet tall they were giants. It was estimated that the bodies had been buried around A.D. 1200. The find was made by a reputable group of antiquarians, including the Pennsylvania state historian and dignitary of the Presbyterian Church (Dr. G.P. Donehoo) and two professors, A.B. Skinner, of the American Investigating Museum, and W.K.Morehead, of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts. The bones were sent to the American Investigating Museum in Philadelphia, where like so many finds that question anthropology, they were stolen and never seen again.


Dr. G.P. Donehoo and the horned skulls

It's another one of those stories that brings to mind Indiana Jones movies. One of those discoveries that would make my mother ask me when I'm going to get a real job.

One of the founders of the Clinton County Historical Society discovered human skulls with horns.

Jesus in India ◦ Complete Documentary

March 18, 2013
It begins with a former Fundamentalist from Texas, ousted from his provincial church for asking too many questions.  “If God wanted you to know about that, it would have been in the Bible,” he is told, “—so stick to worrying about your own salvation.”  But that’s not good enough for Edward T. Martin, and thus begins a seeker’s quest across 4000 miles of India in search of answers about where Jesus was during the “Hidden Years” from ages 12 to 30. The New Testament is silent ...

Michael Tellinger Adam's Calendar

March 17, 2013
The discovery of the ancient stone calendar site by Johan Heine (Adam's Calendar) in among all these stone dwellings and temples, would suggest that some of the structures would date back to the same era as the calendar some 75,000 years ago.  It shows us with a certain level of clarity that these lost civilizations have been around for much longer than anyone could ever have imagined.  It would not be absurd to then suggest that we may be staring at the very first concentrated human settleme...
