Stone Age humans liked their burgers in a bun
Forget the idea that hunter-gatherers lived on low-carb meat diets. Palaeolithic mammoth burgers were eaten with a bun.
Anna Revedin of the Italian Institute of Prehistory and Early History in Florence and colleagues analysed the wear-marks and traces of plants on 30,000-year-old grindstones found in Italy, Russia and the Czech Republic.
This showed that they had been used as mortars and pestles to grind plants like cat’s tail and fern roots, which packed a starchy, high-energy punch. The find suggests that Stone Age humans across Europe even knew how to make flour – a complex process involving harvesting roots, then drying, grinding and finally cooking them to make them digestible. Revedin says the development of flour may have helped hunter-gatherers survive changes in the climate, from chilly winters to parched summers.
Swiss Archaeologists Find Door Into History
Archaeologists in the Swiss city of Zurich have unearthed a 5,000-year-old door that may be one of the oldest ever found in Europe.
The ancient poplar wood door is “solid and elegant” with well-preserved hinges and a “remarkable” design for holding the boards together, chief archaeologist Niels Bleicher said Wednesday.
Using tree rings to determine its age, Bleicher believes the door could have been made in the year 3,063 B.C. — around the time that construction on Britain’s world famous Stonehenge monument began.
Benedict XVI Is the Second-to-Last Pope, Says Irish Prophet Malachy
The prophecies of the Irish saint Malachy, the 12th century bishop of Armagh who predicted all the popes, have thrilled and dismayed readers for centuries. He has stated there will be only one more pope after the current one, and during his reign comes the end of the world.
“In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”
the church itself has largely viewed the prophesies of malachy as forgeries made centuries after his death. malachy’s biographer and contemporary, st. bernard of clairvaux, makes no mention of them. popes are missing. they’re hedged around supporting a specific aspirant to the throne of st peter.

it’s the catholic version of miss tammy’s favorite millennial scenario- the mayan apocalypse of 2012. i find it difficult to give any credence to any document emerging from the dungeons of the church that murdered the first man to translate the bible into the english language especially concerning popes. some christians still believe the anti-christ will be a roman catholic pope. even the cathars, ‘the perfects’ who lived poor and despised like jesus, thought as much- not that any of them were left alive by the church.
in the gospels of luke it becomes clear that the first followers of christ thought they would see end time . jesus states in luke that it would be within his generation.
doomsday porn is a condition of being human- every known form of worship contains a apocalypse scenerio – all predating christianity and judaism. perhaps its because we know we largely deserve it – for what we are capable of doing to one another, hoping for judgment and punishment because we know there’s very little justice on earth, praying it exists somewhere else in order to have any hope at all.
hindu/pagan doomsday scenerios are based on the complete break down of the golden rule, on the shattering of the bonds of human love and sympathy.
“when property confers rank, wealth becomes the only source of virtue, passion the sole bond between man and wife, falsehood the source of success in life, sex the only means of enjoyment and when outer trappings are confused with inner religion”(- heinrich zimmer, myths and symbols in indian art and civilization.) and with the complete dismissal of the divinity of the female aspect, kali the destroyer will unmake the world, all existence, and suck it all back up into Chaos, the void of nothingness from which it all came.
large astronomically arranged monoliths like stonehenge ( ‘where the cats meow’) are thought to be a manner to reckon when the end would be neigh.
beautiful friend, the end.

Hey Maynard there’s a fascinating book about prophecies and their historical context in antiquity and medieval periods. It’s called In Pursuit of the Millennium by Norman Cohn. You should check it out. In fact, I plan on re-reading it myself.
I’m not worried about “THE END OF THE WORLD”.
We’ve got “But for me, we’d be in a worldwide depression.” Harry Reid to save us.
What’s an apocalypse compared to an international economic meltdown?
Who put ketchup on that burger? Blasphemy!
And then a bolt of lightning hit some tomato plants and they had barbeque.
Damn it! That hamburger is making me hungry!
The ancients had it right. It is an abomination to serve hamburgers any other way than on a bun.
I wonder if our prehistoric ancestors worried about too much carbohydrates in their diet? Just askin!!
From the looks of that burger its been all down hill for the last 50,000 years.
