Meet the Kennewick Man: Face of "most important" ancient Native American revealed after 8,500 years

Strong and resilient ancestor of current residents

The face of one of the most significant skeletons ever unearthed in North America has been reconstructed for the first time -- more than 8,000 years after the man's death.

The individual, known as the Kennewick Man, was approximately 40 years old when he died during the early Holocene period, which started roughly 11,700 years ago following the conclusion of the last major ice age.

Columbia River, Washington, USA

His remains were discovered along the banks of the Columbia River in 1996, close to Kennewick City in Washington state, from which he derived his name.

The find represented one of the most intact specimens from this era and offers proof of Native American habitation in the region for more than 8,000 years. The skeleton has been pivotal in academic discussions surrounding the earliest inhabitants of the North American continent.

Scientists have now created a reconstruction of his living facial features using his skull, providing insight into the man's history, reports the Express US.

Lead researcher Cicero Moraes described the reconstruction as depicting a "strong and resilient man," whose characteristics reflected "a life marked by continuous physical effort and survival."

He continued: "First, the skull is analyzed using known averages of soft-tissue thickness and anatomical guidelines to position key features such as the eyes, nose, lips, and ears. More

There were GIANTS: Baal, Asuras, Tiwanaku

The MEGALITHIC mystery of Baalbek — Massive stones no one can explain

(Uncharted Mysteries) Nov. 1, 2025: Something about Baalbek (ancient Heliopolis) doesn’t make sense — an ancient platform in Lebanon [next to modern Israel] built from stone blocks so massive that no known method could have moved them.

One of these blocks weighs over 1,500 tons, yet it was somehow carved, transported, and stacked with perfect precision thousands of years ago. The mystery of how and why it was built has divided historians, engineers, and archeologists for decades.

In this short documentary, we’ll explore the origins of Baalbek, who might have built it, and the incredible techniques that made it possible.

• Baal [6][7][8] or Baʿal [9][a] was a title with the honorific meaning "lord" or "owner" in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity. From its use among people, it came to be applied to gods [11]. Scholars previously associated the theonym ("name of god") with solar cults and with a variety of unrelated patron deities, but inscriptions have shown that the name Baal was particularly associated with the storm and fertility god Hadad and his local manifestations [12]. The Ugaritic god Baal (𐎁𐎓𐎍) is the protagonist of one of the lengthiest surviving epics from the ancient Near East, the Baal Cycle. Known by epithets like “rider of the clouds” and “Victorious Baal,” he [like India's Indra/Sakra and ancient Greece's Zeus] was associated with rain, lightning, wind, fertility, and kingship, and was often depicted in opposition to sea and death deities like Yammu and Mot. More

From the colossal Trilithon stones to the legends of gods and giants, this investigation reveals why Baalbek remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the ancient world.

The Asuras (Titans) of Buddhism and Hinduism

Asuras (Sanskrit असुर) are a class of beings in Dharmic religions [1]. They are described as power-seeking beings related to the more benevolent Devas (also known as Suras) in Hinduism.

• If Suras are "gods" then A-suras are "anti-gods." In Buddhism, they came to earth when Sakka (Indra), King of the Devas, through them out of his heaven (the Realm of the Thirty-Three), but as proof that Suras and Asuras very closely related, Sakka's wife is said to be an Asuran princess.

In a Buddhist context, the word Asura is translated as "titan," "demigod," and "antigod" [2]. According to Hindu texts, the Asuras are in constant fear of the Devas [3]: 2–6.

Asuras are described in Indian texts as powerful superhuman demigods with good or bad qualities. In early Vedic literature, the good Asuras are called Adityas and are led by Varuna, while the malevolent ones are called Danavas and are led by Vritra [4]: 4.

In the earliest layer of Vedic texts, Agni, Indra, and other gods (Devas) are also called Asuras, in the sense of their being "lords" of their respective domains, knowledge, and abilities.

In later Vedic and post-Vedic texts, the benevolent gods are called Devas, while malevolent Asuras compete against these Devas and are considered "enemy of the gods" [4][5].

Asuras are part of Hinduism along with Yakshas (ogres, shapeshifting nature protectors, monsters, spirits), Rakshasas (fierce man-eating ogres, ghouls, demons), Bhutas (ghosts), and many more.

Asuras have been featured in many cosmological theories and legends in Hinduism and Buddhism [6][7][8]. More

Can faces be explained without Africa?

(Mysterious Origins) Before the arrival of the genocidal Spanish in 1519, Mexico and Central America (including Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, and Guatemala) was home to some of the most advanced civilizations in the world, including the Maya, Aztec, Zapotec, and Mixtec peoples.

These civilizations built clean, massive, and complex cities that amazed the Spanish, developed sophisticated writing and calendrical systems, and engaged in extensive trade networks.

However, the Spanish conquest, led by the infamous Conquistador Hernán Cortés, resulted in a dramatic transformation of the region for the worse.

The collision of these two civilizations — indigenous Mesoamerican (southern North American) societies and European imperial ambition — resulted in the creation of modern Latino identity, a blending of indigenous and Spanish/European bloodlines.

What about the ruling ET monsters?

Colonization brought not only a new language, religion, and customs but also a reshaping of political and social structures, often at the expense of indigenous autonomy.

The conquest nearly wiped out these Native groups, but indigenous cultures proved remarkably resilient, influencing everything from language and cuisine to spirituality and artistic traditions.

20 Indigenous/Native American sayings

You can lead a horse to water, but keep it clean.

Is timeless wisdom (prajna) limited to the historical Buddha? There are, in fact, many sources of profound insight and knowledge, much of it coming from this occupied land of the settler colonial project we call the USA. The Indigenous inhabitants kept harmony and balance for more than 10,000 years, and we would do well to learn their lessons of sustainability and preservation. Many Buddhist sayings are collected in the Dhammapada.

India should reclaim Buddhism to build power

The Dhammapada is the best known and most widely esteemed text in the Pali language collection, the sacred scriptures of Theravada Buddhism. The work is included in the Minor Collection of the Sutra Basket, but its popularity has raised it far above the place it occupies in the texts to the ranks of a world religious classic. Composed in the ancient Pali language spoken by the Buddha, this slim anthology of verses constitutes a perfect compendium of the Buddha's teaching, comprising between its covers all the essential principles elaborated at length in the 40-odd volumes of the Pali canon. According to the Theravada Buddhist tradition, each verse in the Dhammapada was originally spoken by the Buddha in response to a particular event or episode. Accounts of these, along with an explanation of the verses, are preserved in the classic commentary to the work, compiled by the great Buddhaghosa in the fifth century C.E. on the basis or material going back to much more ancient times. The contents of the verses, however, transcend the limited and particular circumstances of their origin, reaching out through the ages to various types of people in all the diverse situations of life

• The Dhammapada: The Buddha's Path of Wisdom

1. "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."

This saying or proverb emphasizes the importance of stewardship for [seven] future generations. It calls us to consider the legacy we leave behind [when we leave off using this planet and its resources].

Living with this mindset encourages sustainable practices and a deep respect for nature. Reflecting on this, one might find inspiration to make conscious choices that protect the environment. It’s a reminder that our actions today will shape the world of tomorrow, urging us to be mindful custodians of our planet.

Family says Indigenous woman was beaten to death on Navajo Nation

(Indigenous police have no right to arrest non-Navajos who commit crimes)

2. “All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the children of the Earth.”

This proverb or traditional saying highlights the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. It teaches that every action has a ripple effect, influencing the broader ecosystem.

Understanding this connection fosters empathy and mindfulness, urging us to live in harmony with nature. It reminds us that our well-being is tied to the health of the planet.

Embracing this wisdom can guide us to make decisions that support ecological balance, promoting a sustainable future for ourselves and [seven] future generations.

"The Shaman" (poem)

THE SHAMAN

Buddhists, Shamans, Soviets

The shaman climbed the mountain, gathering sacred flowering herbs and berries along the way -- Datura moonflowers, toloache, Brugmansia angel's trumpets, Salvia apiana sage, kasiile, toyon, holly -- until delirium overwhelmed him with lurid and ecstatic visions of hell and heaven. Then he returned to the human world.

Word spread of him. People asked, "Is it true, as they say, you have seen hell?"

"I have."

"What is it like?"

"It's hideous, ironic, horror beyond imagination," the shaman winced to relive, nearly blinded by his recollection:

"There's food everywhere, but no one eats, and drink aplenty, but no one drinks. There are long wooden spoons with which to partake, but their bodies have only tiny appendages for arms, too short to bring such elongated spoons up to their shriveled lips. Parched slaver forms like ashes in their mouths, and bodies waste away. Struggle as they might, everything goes to waste. They bellow in agony."

The people shrank away, with growing acreage dedicated to burying their discarded surplus, collapsing under smoldering heaps of trash.

"And heaven?" asked the hopeful. "Is it true as they say, you have seen heaven?"

"I have."

"And what's it like?" they pleaded.

"Heaven," the shaman revealed, "is exactly the same."

"What," cried the people, "the same? Surely, that is no heaven!"

"There is one difference," the shaman went on to explain.

Heaven and Hell (Bart Ehrman)

"In heaven, there is an abundance of food and drink, long wooden spoons, and bodies with tiny appendages too short to bring these utensils up to their mouths. But the beings there, without hesitation, use the long spoons to feed one another. There is no want. No request ever goes unanswered, no desire unfulfilled. Acts of kindness overflow as do spoons.

"Spoon fed and cared for, there are continuous cries of gratitude and rejoicing as beings fall over one another to be the first to give. There is food, and they eat. There is drink, and they drink, and they relish diversity and bounty. They care for one another, nourish one another, thank one another. The sweetness of their caresses, gentleness of their words, kindness of their eyes," the shaman wept to recall, "make the place so beautiful that I only wish I could have shown one world to the other."

What are American Indians really like?

Shamanism in Sweden (video)

This path of practice to know and see

Wouldn't it be better to be a "priest" than a "shaman"? A priest is an intermediary between a religion and parishioners, whereas a shaman is all about direct experience. So, of course, having no intermediaries is better. The Buddha, like Mahavira and many others before him, went into the woods to have an experience of Truth. Shamans do not seek beliefs, dogma, and things to accept. They go for a face-to-face meeting with what is real. Rather than faith and devotion (bhakti and puja), they seek the path of knowledge and wisdom (jnana and prajna). Knowing and seeing, the Buddha taught others to know-and-see. One can go far on faith (saddha), but all the way to liberation, that's a job for wisdom.

The Beginning of Religion and Faith: The History of Religion

(All Things Humanities) Jan. 1, 2025: Religion has been around for a very long time. When most people think of early religion, they think of ancient religions such as Hinduism, Sumerian(ism), Zoroastrianism, Judaism, ancient Egyptians, and Mayans. However, religious belief and spirituality have a much longer history than that. The origins of religion date back to prehistoric times, that is, before human beings even began writing and carving into rocks. We have evidence showing religious practices taking place as early as 60,000 BCE. So where did religion start, why did it start, what did it look like, and why were human beings partaking in it? This video is a deep dive into the origins of religion and why human beings have been undertaking this behavior. You’re watching All Things Humanities.

Is there shamanism in Sweden? Of course, there are the Sami, the Indigenous whites, the original Scandinavians we seem to base all of our Christmas imagery on -- reindeer sleighs dashing through the snow in colorful clothes, dropping psychedelic mushrooms the shaman dropped in through the chimney of our yurt through to deliver so that we could place them in stocking over the fireplace to dry so they wouldn't rot and turn into charcoal-looking petroleum sludge. The red and white of the Amanita muscaria or powerful fly agaric entheogen was the "gift surprise" we are mimicking under the pine tree, where they grow in a symbiotic relationship to the conifers. It all ties in from former Lapland (now Sapmi) to the Arctic Circle, where the North Pole is located. The shamanism in this cold part of the world is what we have been mirroring and remembering in our racial or genetic memory as a collective human family. Just ask Terence McKenna or the Machine Elves.

Inca Wisdom: Urban Shaman Annika Panotzki's Guide to Emotional Transformation

(Wisdom From North) Annika Panotzki is a Swedish urban shaman whose vision is to build bridges between the teachings of Inca Shamanism and the urban culture of the West.

For Annika, her life completely transformed after opening herself to the wisdom of the shamanic Inca way. In the Inca tradition, Annika says, we see that we are all creators of our lives.

The higher awareness we have, the more we can create and choose good things. When we see that we already have everything we need around us and we see that there is enough for everybody, then we are no longer guided by our ego.

When life is flowing for us, then it is natural to receive and have the desire to share with others. We can share our unique talents, passions, kind thoughts, and so on.

This natural teaching is beautiful and can be applied no matter who we are, what we are working with, or where on earth we live. Inca Shamanism's philosophy of life has amazing tools for us.

Year End Yoga Party, Sacred Ritual

WHAT HAPPENED?

Sign up here: Kinship Yoga Studios

We convened, got raffle tickets, placed potluck items on a table, reviewed the silent auction objects on offer, and settled in for the hailing of the Four Directions by Araceli in Native American tradition, with a conch shell trumpet and palo santo incense. Then we journaled a letter to ourselves to be opened in six months, the summer to come, sharing a small part of it with the whole group as we got in touch with a vision of nature and a sacred animal. Very New Age. Then the Sanskrit chanting began, accompanied by bongos, a spaceship like percussive instrument, and harmonium, in call-and-response kirtan. This was followed by the raffle, with a free ticket going to anyone who brought a potluck item. The prizes were in the $50 to $180 range, donated by local merchants supporting Yoga Gives Back and Ambassador Stella. Everyone got two hugs and we met eyes with another person, all designed to get people out of their shells and into the social community. Many females pranced about in skimpy yoga gear, laughing, making new friends. Then we feasted and had mocktails, hot chocolate, fresh persimmon juice, exotic teas from the Tea Bar, as well as soft drinks. This was followed by effusive sharing by anyone who wanted to say something, as we moved to the gift exchange blanket. Participants were encouraged to donate a gift for it, which everyone could see. Then items were chosen, infused with good mojo as the items got handed to the left and arrived at the designated chooser.

Yoga New Year: 108 Sun Salutations (1/1)

(This means everyone ended up with a gift, and some with more than one. The owner, Ryan and his young daughter, Louisa (the youngest teacher the studio has ever produced), were on hand. It was all handshakes, hugs, and even some yoga jokes. (Yoga jokes? A hippie is standing in front of a yoga studio and the owner says, "Man, you gotta leave." The hippie replies, "Nah, Man, 'amastay," you know, which sounds like "Namaste." Dumb as it might sound, it got a great laugh because up until tonight, no one knew there were such things as "yoga jokes." Not to be outdone, Ryan the owner said the place wasn't always going to be called "Kinship." He toyed with the idea of naming "Om Depot." That also got a great laugh). Hugs, kisses, number exchanged, and some people lingered to chat after four straight hours of spiritual fun and frolicking. It was a great time. And we were all reminded that in three short days, it's the 108 Sun Salutations Yoga Challenge in the same room at noon.

Event details

New students, Kingship, Highland Park

Sacred Ceremony creates a sacred space to honor life’s journey and our relationships with all beings. Through culturally respectful rituals and shared intentions, we cultivate a collective vision of peace for the New Year. Our gathering includes a series of meaningful activities to inspire growth, healing, and connection: 

• Smudging with white sage

Purify and cleanse personal energy through the sacred practice of smudging. Using the smoke of white sage (Salvia apiana), we clear away negative energies and create an open space for healing, renewal, and positive transformation.

• Journaling activity

We take a moment to reflect on our journey and set powerful intentions for the year ahead. Answer a few curated questions to guide reflection, focusing on what we wish to release and what we want to invite into our life.

• Sacred chanting

Together, we chant sacred Sanskrit mantras, uniting our voices and hearts in harmony. This collective vibration invokes peace, healing, and strength, setting a powerful intention for the New Year ahead.

• Gift-Giving Blanket

History (Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz)

Inspired by Native American traditions, the Gift-Giving Blanket invites us to bring a gift to share with the community. After laying a gift down on the blanket, everyone will have the opportunity to choose a gift brought by someone else. (No need to purchase any gifts; we encourage to recycle from our own possessions to lighten our load). Gifts can be new or gently used items. All are welcome — whether or not bringing a gift to share.
