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.

Chief Joseph, Nez Perce People

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

New Yeti/Bigfoot ogre footage

(Top 15s) Top 15 most convincing Bigfoot (ogre, Yakshi, Yeti, Yaksha) sightings caught on tape

(Maximum Fear) Max shows new Bigfoot footage not see before *EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE*

Tonight is a big night for cryptozoology and Sasquatch / Bigfoot / Abominable Snowman / Yeti / Yowie / Skunk Ape / Almas / Orang Pendek research as American anthropologist Dr. Mireya Mayor, Ph.D. (who discovered the world's smallest primate and is now looking for the largest) from Expedition Bigfoot appears on Coast to Coast to discuss her primate research and discoveries (such as the world's smallest primate).

• Psychic Tara talks to Bigfoot, who says name of their species is 'Ayloyn' (Hear more names and them talking)
• Do Buddhists really believe in cryptids? There was a famous interaction between the Buddha and a "Bigfoot" called the Ogre (Yakkha, Yaksha, Rakshasa) Alavaka, which produced the Alavaka Sutra

Giants/Almas/Yetis in Buddhist Central Asia

Tibetan Buddhists from Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet, and Russia really believe in Bigfoot

Here are our names and us talking

These creatures are varieties of Yeti, different kinds of hominid primates. They are 100% real. (Some seem to be interdimensional with uncanny superhuman powers, which makes considering them "real" problematic).

Tibetan lore describes three main varieties of Yetis:

• the Nyalmo, which has black fur and is the largest and fiercest, standing around 15 feet tall;
• the Chuti, which stands around 8 feet tall and lives at an altitude of 8,000-10,000 feet (2,400 and 3,000 m) above sea level; and
• the Rang Shim Bombo, which has reddish-brown fur and is only 3-5 feet (0.91 and 1.52 m) tall [12].

Other terms used by Himalayan peoples, many of them Vajrayana (Esoteric) Buddhists, do not translate exactly the same, but refer to legendary and indigenous wildlife:

• Michê (Tibetan མི་དྲེད་, Wylie mi dred, ZYPY Michê), which translates as "man-bear" [8, 13].
• Dzu-teh – dzu translates as "cattle" and the full meaning translates as "cattle bear," referring to the Himalayan brown bear [7][10][14][15].
• Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan མི་རྒོད་, Wylie mi rgod, ZYPY Migö/Mirgö) translates as "wild man" [10][15].
• Bun Manchi – Nepali for "jungle man" that is used outside Sherpa communities where Yeti is the common name [16].
• Mirka – another name for "wild-man."

Local legend holds that "anyone who sees one dies or is killed." The latter is taken from a written statement by Frank Smythe's Sherpas in 1937 [17].

Bigfoot and cryptids: The clearest sightings captured on camera in 2024

• Kang Admi is the "Snow Man" [15].
• Jungli Admi is the "Wild Man" [18].
• Xueren or Yeren (Chinese  雪人) is the "Snow Man."

Other names and locations

In Russian folklore, the Chuchuna is an entity said to dwell in Siberia. It has been described as 6-7 feet tall and covered with dark hair.

According to the native accounts from the nomadic Buddhist Yakut and Tungus tribes, it is a well-built, Neanderthal-like man wearing pelts and bearing a white patch of fur on its forearms.

It is said to occasionally consume human flesh (cannibalism because it is understood to be a kind of human, not an animal), unlike their close cousins, the Almas, Almasty, or Almastis. More: Yeti

Dixieland Deceived: The Grand Conspiracy Behind the US Civil War

Dixieland Deceived: Conspiracy

Author Mike S. King has 4.4 out of 5 stars with 37 ratings. The true story of the U.S. Civil War (aka the War Between the States, the War of Northern Aggression) does not “lie in the middle” somewhere. Rather, it is something altogether different from either the contemporary northern Establishment account or the Southern revisionist version. In reality, the brotherly bloodbath of 1861-1865 was not in essence a “civil” war as much as it was an attack launched on the U.S. from an invisible foreign power, traitor-agents, and sincere dupes operating in both the North and South. It was “the usual suspects” based in Rothschild’s Europe -- aligning with and using the empire-seeking Plantation Aristocracy of the South -- who planned and, under one false pretext after another, executed America’s greatest disaster. It was only the determined leadership of Pres. Abraham Lincoln that thwarted the elaborate scheme of this deadly cabal in the end. Acclaimed "correctionist" historian investigative journalist Mike King takes readers on an exciting, illusion-shattering suspense ride through important history that still has implications today. More

'Northern' lights visible around world

Solar storm brings northern lights south

(5NEWS) May 11, 2024: Astrophysicist Nour Rawafi says this is the biggest geomagnetic storm in more than 20 years.

What the northern lights looked like on the West Coast (sfgate.com)

How dare you question Science, Eric.

Debunking the science explanation for the cause of the Aurora borealis, which was already brought into question when seen on the wrong side of the globe planet (since the excuse of an explanation for such northern lights is that the sun above us (Surya, Sol) is shooting plasma (cluster of high energy particles) that hits the Arctic Circle above the magnetic North Pole.

Plasma wouldn't skip the center and somehow back up to hit the Antarctic above a South Pole.

When other models of the world we live in are looked at -- ancient Buddhist cosmology, which aligns more or less with Hindu and Jain views and is not so different from Christian (biblical), Norse, Jewish, and Muslim views, all of which controvert science. We hope science is true, we hope the other views are "creation myths" and "origin story storytelling."

High above Los Angeles on Mt. Wilson

But Zetetic science -- the testable, demonstrable, reproducible results, ground up, just the observable facts not theory chasing -- says otherwise.

Now, tonight, people everywhere can see that we have been deceived by NASA ("never a straight answer") and other allied agencies not daring to contradict what the world power says.

What is this ancient map of Earth showing?

Northern lights LIVE: Auroras illuminate night sky in Canada, USA | Solar Storm News

(CNBC-TV) Started streaming 5/12/24: CANADA. There are northern lights over Minnesota as a strong solar storm is hitting Earth, producing them in many areas across the USA.

A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) have created dazzling auroras that may be seen as far south as Alabama and Northern California but could also disrupt communications on Earth tonight and over the weekend.

Scientists are warning an increase in solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun have the potential to disrupt communication on Earth into the weekend.

Solar flares can affect communications and GPS almost immediately because they disrupt Earth’s ionosphere, part of the upper atmosphere.

Energetic particles released by the sun can also disrupt electronics on spacecraft and affect astronauts without proper protection within 20 minutes to several hours.

An unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth could produce northern lights in the U.S. this weekend and potentially disrupt power and communications. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a rare severe geomagnetic storm warning when a solar outburst reached Earth on Friday afternoon, hours sooner than anticipated.

The effects were due to last through the weekend and possibly into next week. The storm could produce northern lights as far south in the U.S. as Alabama and Northern California, according to NOAA.

But it was hard to predict, and experts stressed it would not be the dramatic curtains of color normally associated with the northern lights, but more like splashes of greenish hues.

Palestinian journalist dismantles host’s pro-Israeli propaganda

(The Majority Report w/ Sam Seder) Nov. 3, 2023: Palestinian journalist Ahmed Alnaouq (who lost 21 family members to Israeli bombs) spoke on "Good Morning Britain" and explained that he thinks that some media outlets are complicit in Israel's violence in Gaza.

Presenter Kate Garraway says that Israel's been very clear that their conflict is with the political party Hamas, not with Palestinians.

Alnaouq responds to Garraway by saying that 21 of his family members, some children, who've been killed are not members of Hamas.

Vermont's historic flooding, more rain coming

Vermont grapples with historic flooding as more rainstorms head for Northeast

Flood-ravaged areas in the Northeast could see even more rainfall on Thursday (7/13/23) as communities in Vermont and New York try to recover from a historic deluge.

In Vermont, some areas had recorded up to 9 inches of rain over a 24-hour period by Tuesday afternoon as small creeks turned into raging rivers that swallowed roads in the worst flooding to hit the Green Mountain State since Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.

Over 200 people have been rescued in Vermont since the flooding began, including 32 people who were rescued in hard-hit Lamoille County Tuesday night, officials said.

No injuries or deaths have been reported in the state. Vermont Commissioner of Public Safety Jennifer Morrison said the state is in much better shape Wednesday than it was Tuesday, but rescues are still ongoing.
