Ginseng’s secret weapon: Battling cancer with ancient wisdom

October 16, 2023 -

Studied extensively, ginsenosides display anticancer and anti-metastatic properties – not only by restricting cancer cell proliferation, viability, invasion and migration, but also by promoting apoptosis (cell death) or paraptosis (a new and unique cell death mode), cell cycle arrest and autophagy (the body's process of reusing old and damaged cell parts) in several cancers, such as brain, breast, gastric, liver and lung cancer.

Studies also indicate that ginsenosides ...

Ancient tablet discovered on Mount Ebal in Nablus precedes known Hebrew inscriptions

May 22, 2023 -

The tablet was inadvertently disturbed during diggings performed by Adam Zertal, a controversial archaeologist from the University of Haifa (UH) in Israel, back in 1982. Like almost all diggings, Zertal left behind piles of unearthed soil following his discovery of two altars on the mountain. One of the piles dubbed as the "east dump" apparently held the tablet that was rediscovered 37 years later.

Wet sifting on the soil at the east dump in December 2019 yielded the folded ...

Analysis of mummified kids in Ancient Egypt reveals a third of them suffered from ANEMIA

May 17, 2023 -

The analysis performed by a group of six researchers was published in the International Journal of Osteoarcheology. They analyzed 21 child mummies from various parts of Egypt using computerized tomography (CT) scanning, a non-destructive way to scan objects. The mummies, which dated as early as 3,000 B.C. to 400 A.D., died between the ages of one and 14.

The researchers scrutinized the mummies using full-body CT scans for anemia by looking for telltale signs of the disorder, ...

Experts at the site suggest that this painting represents the traditional "hospitable gifts" offered to guests. The gifts follow ...

Check out these 6 ancient civilizations that were hiding in plain sight, but never discovered prior to the advent of archeological LASER BEAM technology

September 05, 2023 -

Lidar lasers, as they are called, can penetrate dense vegetation, allowing experts to view the terrain and any underlying structures that would otherwise remain hidden under all the foliage.

Short for Light Detection and Ranging, lidar technology beams tens of thousands of laser pulses per second from airplanes or helicopters at the ground below, allowing scientists to create three-dimensional (3-D) maps without all that vegetation in the way.

STUDY: Chicken bones are proof that human activities and appetites can rapidly transform the natural world

July 14, 2023 -

Originating from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the red junglefowl became one of the first domesticated chicken species after humans domesticated it about 10,000 years ago, prizing the bird for its meat and eggs. However, it was only after World War II that selective breeding techniques transformed it into the rotund, short-lived creature found in supermarkets worldwide today.

"The modern meat chicken is unrecognizable compared to its ancestors or wild counterparts," explained ...

U.K. museum claims birds are queer, dinosaurs were LGBTQ

a month ago -

One such claim suggests that certain bird species, like pheasants, exhibit "queer" behavior by changing sex from female to male.

"Despite queer behavior in the animal kingdom being observed as far back as the 18th century, it is often ignored or hidden from the public. One example is of female pheasants changing their sex when they stop laying eggs and turn their brown feathers into the brightly colored feathering typical of males," the guide states. "Pheasants feature in ...

It’s a trap! The wave of repercussions as the Middle East fights “the last war”

October 12, 2023 -

(Article by Brandon Smith republished from Alt-Market.us)

Over and over again, humanity reaches for Elysium on Earth only to be slapped back down. The survivors then build grass huts on top of the ruins of the old empires and they start over from scratch.  Why does the Bronze Age catastrophe matter?  Obviously, because history tends to rhyme.

The Levant at this time was rich with civilization and trade, composed of a host of kingdoms that represented the known ...

Leftism is the politics of weakness

2 months ago -

(Article by Luis Miguel republished from TheNewAmerican.com)

Similar descriptors of Marxism have been used before; some conservatives refer to the Left’s politics as that of grievance or of victimization. These are correct, but they do not get to the deepest level of the matter, which is that the various forms of Marxism reverse the traditional ideals of strength, success, and achievement and instead ennoble weakness and failure as the targets to which one must aspire.

Archaeologists discover statues that may be depicting people from the lost civilization of Tartessos

May 09, 2023 -

Five stone busts from 2,600 years ago were discovered at Casas del Turunuelo, a historical monument in Guarena, southern Spain. The statues dating from the 5th century B.C. had faces that depicted people from the Tartessos, who lived in the southern Iberian Peninsula about 3,000 years ago. But the Tartessos inexplicably vanished – and what its people looked like has long been a matter of speculation. .

Researchers at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) noted that ...

No diversity for White people

September 26, 2023 -

(Article republished from PaulCraigRoberts.org)

The United States once required immigrants to assimilate and become Americans.  But this was terminated.  Today Americans are supposed to celebrate diversity, which means being overrun by immigrants from different cultures, with different languages and different values and behavior.  Allegedly this enriches us, but in fact what it does is to water down our own culture to make room for the immigrant-invaders’ cultures....

Natural remedies to help you get rid of BAD BREATH

September 26, 2023 -

Brush and floss

Brush and floss every day (and twice a day if possible) to reduce odorous bacteria in your mouth. Flossing removes bits of food caught between teeth, which can cause bacterial growth (and halitosis) when ignored. Replace your toothbrush every two to three months so the bristles do not weaken over time and clean your teeth less effectively. (Related: Prevent halitosis with good oral hygiene and these natural remedies.)

Interactive map shows lost sunken cities in Germany, Japan and other countries

February 01, 2024 -

Atlantis was first mentioned in the writings of the great Greek philosopher Plato around 360 B.C. He claimed that there was once an advanced civilization that sunk into the oceans after being struck by violent earthquakes and floods. Some say Plato invented the tragic fate of the lost city to be a cautionary tale of the gods punishing human hubris.

No written records of Atlantis exist outside of Plato's dialogues, including in the numerous other texts that survive from ...

The Treasure of Villena is a hoard of 59 gold-plated objects found in 1963 in southeastern Spain. It was discovered by a team led by archaeologist Jose Maria Soler while the team was excavating a dry river bed, the Rambla del Panadero, three miles north of the city of Villena.
