    After initially being quite disparaging regarding a RUclips channel actually open to our ancestors being present a million years > finally 👏 The based yet open minded archaeology is a breath of fresh air (old air as it was) there is a chance we will all find out where we came from originally. Have to be honest as a Roman Catholic with a belief and love for my life. There is a lot more to be found. Much love and happiness to all.

    My Grand dad was on the Somme front in 1916, opposite of Hill 61. He was with the Sappers that dug the tunnels. He was 18 and one night he decided that either his own people were going to be the death of him in the tunnels or a German would do it above ground. In the dark, one night, he left his lines and made for the Germans, who maybe. would take him prisoner. The British war diary relates that his own people tried to machine gun him and when he got close to the Krauts they threw grenades. A German grenade blew off the heel of his right foot, but he made it and they took him prisoner. After interrogation by the enemy, he was transferred to a German military hospital in Belgium at Waen for treatment and after that he was sent to a POW camp in East Prussia for the rest of the war. When he was repatriated in the spring of 1919, nothing was said about his obvious desertion, and he was sent home. Granddad got no medals or citations but he did have his life.

    So God made all in 6 days on the 7th he rested, not being funny, but I wasn't tired, it was ablue print of time were God would make short work of our salvation, 1 day is as 1000 years to the Lord, God told adam and eve if they ate of tje tree of knkwedge of good and evil they would surely die, adam died 930 years old same day. Because God new we would fall amd sin entered and bought death, so through adams seed we all die now, so God then became man as over 300 prophecies about the christ to come, such as isaiah 9-6 in his word the bible. Unto us achild is given unto us a son is born government shall be upon his shoulders name given wonderful councilor mighty God everlasting father prince of peace, then jesus was born of a virgin as isaiah also wrote, for he is the living word of God without sin, he came to take our sins upon himself to set us free on the cross, he overcame the world dewth and the devil so we could be free, fullfilling the prophecies given when adam fell. He shall crush your head, and you shall bruise his heel genesis 3-15, which isaiah wrote 53 he was peirced for our transgressions, so what do you do to be saved call upon the name of jesus christ, and you will be saved born again. Ask for the promised holy spiirt from the father in jesus christ name amd he will send him to you. Seal you for the day of the Lord, your sins fogiven and then you can know him live in his ligjt and spirit of grace, passing from death to eternal life, im not against anyone i ised to love shows like this but i know now there dates are made up no evidence just what they think, when i was saved i relaized warching other sentists they all amdmit its theory, for thise who have the same data come up with a different opinion tje reason for this is to not obey God amd place there faith in the son of God and turn back, which is tje commandment, think on this death came becuse of sin God made all perfact before adam there was no death, its better to pit your faith in God rather than men, then you will encounter God for yourself and see his kingdom, throigh faith if you will not remain in unbelief for the devil of this world keeps all in darkness through unbelief. If you want forgiveness and to know him, call upon his name with a humble heart.back to the time after 2 days, isreal will be returned after the crucifixion and live before God the 3rd day this happened isreal are back as jesus told us, and he said the nations would come agaisnt them then jesus will come a nd fight for them, for tje world is going agaisnt Gods will, lead by the devil as the kning was when he killed all the babies under 2 when jesus was born, trying to stop Gods plan, for us to be saved amd return to him the one true God , the devil has been defeated and has no power over us now when we beleive on jesus this is why he fights hard to keep you in unbelief, 2 days are about up for jesus coming, the 3rd day is also the 7th from creation, when christ shall rule and reign, with isreal and all he called from the nations to be with him forever, i myslef encounterd the living God when i was lost in sin and filled with his holy spiirt. Bare in mind i had never heard of the gospel being a holy spiirt, any questions happy to answer, if its about sceince plenty of sights from sceintists to disprove these dates given, i just want all to come to know the lord there creator amd saviour also.jesus told us there would be many earthquakes diseases famines wars, before his coming amd would increase at the end more stonger tje waves raging, we see all happening around us they call it climate chamge, Gods word is very clear, if we abide in him and his word in is the truth sets us free, jesus is the way the truth and the life, i pray you will all beleive on jeuss and let him teach you...

    The first time that the sheer volume of the noise caused by the recent mechanical inventions made exclusively for the purpose of killing en masse was utilized. As in artillery, machine guns and missile bombs and not since the explosion of KRAKATOA that one time had humans been subjected to such loud ongoing barrage of noise. Eardrums had never experienced such an assault. That what the shell shock shakes were, the body's inability to return to homestasis of vibration. The sheer noise would have killed me.

    The people assume the circular stone structure on the beach is a "tomb" when all the evidence they discover shows it is a house. Still they clutch to the idea that it is a "tomb" altered to a house with no evidence whatsoever to conclude or even speculate that. This is the disease or mental ailment all archeologists acquire. I call it Tutitis. With Tutitis all digs are seen as tombs initially and most all objects are seen as connected to some spiritual hocus pocus with almost no evidence. Most archeologists have minimal scientific laboratory experience and stringent empirical minds. They are like collectors ready to make assumptions right away with no or scanty proof. Their claims that archeology is a science is built on the same shaky foundation that psychologists stand on.

    Poor analysis on the Polish pilots. 303 were to some extent a naturally selected elite. Most of them served against the Luftwaffe for both the Polish and French airforces, and managed to survive that in inferior aircraft. The first Spitfires mainly went to auxilliary squadrons comprised of experienced pilots who served part time before the war. The highest fighter vs fighter tally in the Battle of Britain went to 603 squadron who were auxilliaries flying Spitfires. Some historians who have analysed Luftwaffe records claim 603 had the most victories overall as well, although nobody wants to be seen to be putting the Poles down by saying so loudly. Either way, 303 and 603 are definitely well up there as the most effective squadrons. The three things they have in common are: 1. They had more flying hours under their belts than most pilots involved in the battle. 2. They both entered the battle at the end of August 1940 after it had already been raging for 7 weeks - the Luftwaffe lost most of the aircrew shot down - if they weren't killed, they would be captured. Therefore, 303 and 603 faced a Luftwaffe already stripped of some experience. 3. They entered the battle after the RAF had improved the punch of the 8 Browning .303 machine guns in the Hurricane and Spitfire by changing the convergence pattern of the guns. At the start of the battle, the recommended firing range was 230 metres, with the guns set so the bullets would arrive in a "box" about 12 feet wide by 8 feet high - therefore, even a well aimed burst of fire at 230 metres would see some bullets miss if aimed from directly astern, and a dispersed pattern of damage even if many hit. The theory was that more bursts would cause a hit of some sort. Top pilots capable of accurate shooting hated this and disregarded the instructions to experiment with changing the alignment of their guns. Eventually the RAF listened, and ordered that the guns be set to fully converge at 230 metres instead. The results of this began to filter through in September 1940, right after 303 and 603 joined the battle. These are the reasons for 303s success, not being more cross with the Germans.
