THE WORLD'S OLDEST BOWL, DISCOVERED IN CHINA, ONCE AGAIN REFUTES THE DARWINIST IDEA





Pottery fragments recently discovered by archeologists in the Yuchanyan Cave in China have once again demolished the evolutionist conception of history. According to a report on BBC News, the fragments have been dated using 40 different Carbon-14 techniques to be between 17,500 and 18,300 years old. The existence of such ancient pots is an utter defeat, in evolutionist terms, for they indicate that human beings led civilized and settled lives at what is claimed to have been the Stone Age.

Evolutionists maintain that the first human beings were half-ape creatures
whose mental and physical characteristics developed over the course of time, that they acquired new abilities, and that civilizations evolved for that reason.
According to this claim, based on no scientific evidence whatsoever, our supposed primitive ancestors led animalistic lives, became civilized only after they became human, and registered cultural progress as their mental
capacities developed. Fictitious images of the so-called primitive Man, with a body entirely covered in fur, or seeking to make fire while squatting under animal skins, walking along the waterside with a freshly killed animal on his shoulder, or seeking to communicate with his peers by gestures and grunting, are false recreations based on this unscientific claim. However, the archeological discoveries made to date from the Stone Age, when evolutionists claim that human beings had only just learned to speak, show that human beings then lived family lives, performed brain surgery and understood the arts of painting and music.

Since the approximately 18,000-year-old bowl shards found in the Yuchanyan Cave in China also bear the signs of civilized life they also refute evolutionists supposed sequence of historic ages. These bowl fragments, dated at between 17,500 and 18,300 years old, are the oldest earthenware remains ever discovered. According to evolutionist claims, human beings should not yet have adopted a settled life style in the period described as the Stone Age, and should have been living in caves as primitive hunters using stone tools. But archeological finds scientifically prove the exact opposite. The oldest-known earthenware fragments found in the Yuchanyan Cave therefore fully expose the invalidity of evolutionists claims, which are in fact no more than fantasies.

Grains of rice were also discovered in the same cave in 2005. Put together, these finds show that human beings living 18,000 years ago engaged in agriculture and lived civilized lives similar to those of people today.

Such developments and finds made in branches of science like archaeology and anthropology reveal that the idea of cultural and social evolution is a hollow one. The finds unearthed during archeological excavations clearly reveal that history is interpreted by Darwinist scientists in the light of the preconceptions of materialist ideology. The myth of the Stone Age is nothing more than materialists attempts to depict man as a creature evolved from supposed unintelligent animals and to impose this myth they believe in on science.

8000 years older than pyramids ! Gobekli Tepe, Human's First yet Known Temple in Northern Kurdistan






Vultures also feature in the iconography of the Neolithic sites of Çatalhöyük and Jericho; it is believed that in the early Neolithic culture of Kurdistan and the Near East the deceased were deliberately exposed in order to be excarnated by vultures and other birds of prey.

(The head of the deceased was sometimes removed and preserved—possibly a sign of ancestor worship.) There are freestanding sculptures as well that may represent wild boars or foxes. As they are heavily encrusted with lime, it is sometimes difficult to tell. Comparable statues have been discovered at Nevalı Çori and Nahal Hemar.The quarries for the statues are located on the plateau itself; some unfinished pillars have been found there in situ.

The biggest unfinished pillar is still 6.9 m long; a length of 9m has been reconstructed. This is much larger than any of the finished pillars found so far. The stone was quarried with stone picks. Bowl-like depressions in the limestone rocks may already have served as mortars or fire-starting bowls in the epipalaeolithic.

While the structures are primarily temples, more recently smaller domestic buildings have been uncovered. Despite this, it is clear that the primary use of the site was cultic and not domestic. Schmidt believes this "cathedral on a hill" was a pilgrimage destination attracting worshipers up to a hundred miles distant.

Butchered bones found in large numbers from local game such as deer, gazelle, pigs, and geese suggest that ritual feasting (and perhaps sacrifice) were regularly practiced here.Göbekli Tepe is regarded as an archaeological discovery of the greatest importance, since it profoundly changes our understanding of a crucial stage in the development of human societies. Apparently, the erection of monumental complexes was within the capacities of hunter-gatherers and not only of sedentary farming communities as had been previously assumed. In other words, as excavator Klaus Schmidt put it: "First came the temple, then the city." This revolutionary hypothesis will have to be supported or modified by future research.

The oldest shoe in the world found in Armenia and made 5500 years ago






The Armenian shoe is dated between 3600-3400 BC. Dr. Pinhasi says what is interesting is that the shoe is made of leather, and it's a processed leather, which tells about a developed culture in Armenia 5000 years ago. We are talking about a time frame that is nearly 1000 years older than the Egyptian pyramids.

This cave is special in Armenia because by its geographical location it's a crossroad between Africa, Asia and Europe. "All of Armenia is very rich for archaeologists, for any period from pre-history to the Christianity and the like. At the same time Armenia is not archaeology excavated as much as the other regions of the world and therefore, there is a lot of unknown and mysterious elements to it," says Dr. Pinhasi who is specializing in prehistoric archaeology. Speaking of this oldest shoe in the world, he says their group was one of the first to make the excavations in the region and were pretty astonished what they were about to meet around the surface.

One thing is for sure. Armenia now can brace to host more archaeologists and will add the cave, where the oldest shoe was found, to its menu of tourist attractions.

The archaeological research of the Thracian culture started in the 20th century and especially after World War II, mainly on the territory of Southern Bulgaria. As a result of intensive archaeology excavation works in the 1960s and 1970s a number of Thracian tombs and sanctuaries were discovered. More significant among them are: the Tomb of Sveshtari, the Tomb of Kazanlak, Tatul, Seuthopolis, Perperikon, the Tomb of Aleksandrovo, Sarmizegetusa, etc.

Also a large number of elaborately crafted gold and silver treasure sets from the 5th and 4th century BC were unearthed. In the following decades those were exposed in museums around the world, thus gaining popularity and becoming an emblem of the ancient Thracian culture. Since the year 2000, Bulgarian archaeologist Georgi Kitov has made discoveries in Central Bulgaria which were summarized as "The Valley of the Thracian Kings".

On 19 August 2005, some Bulgarian archaeologists announced they had found the first Thracian capital, which was situated near Karlovo in Bulgaria. A lot of polished ceramic artifacts (pieces of roof-tiles and Greek-like vases) were discovered revealing the fortune of the city. The Bulgarian Ministry of Culture declared its support to the archaeology excavations.

In Dabene, Bulgaria, a cache of more than 15,000 gold Thracian artifacts were discovered, including thousands of rings. In August 2006 a sensational archaeological find was made near the village of Dubovo. A Thracian dagger made of an alloy of gold and platinum, sharp, and in perfect condition, was found in a tomb near the village of Dubovo.

tombs with mural paintings have been discovered near the town of Kazanlak so far. They prove the wide use of art of painting as a detail of inside decoration of the Thracian tombs during the Hellenic period. Undoubtedly the most interesting tomb is the Kazanlak Thracian Tomb.
An important moment for a substantial research of the history, culture and the urban development of the Thracian tribes during the early Hellenic period are the salvage excavations, undertaken because of the building of "Koprinca" dam. An ancient Thracian town -- Sevtopolis is discovered.
Around 6000 years ago, between the fifth and the second millennium B.C., the climate became warmer and the icebergs on the Earth quickly started melting. The water in the oceans and seas rose with 3 meters.
Fewer than 100 are the Thracian undermounded constructed structures in Bulgaria, which are usually called tombs. Fifteen buildings like these are put up in Kazanlak valley.
In the middle of our country, cuddled between the two big mountain ranges Stara planina and Sredna gora, is situated the Kazanlak valley. The land, amazing with its beauty, inebriates with its sweet scents and fascinates with its ancient history.
