Moche Erotic Pottery from Perù.

Moche erotic pots became popular during the Middle Moche Period (AD 300-600), following a lucrative phase of illustrating supernatural figures. Despite the constant threat of looting in Peru, at least five hundred erotic pots are known to have survived, portraying a vast array of sex acts – some of which would make Hugh Hefner blush. Peculiarly, the sex pots have initiated little interest from archaeologists, despite the fact that the Moche are one of the few Pre-Columbian societies to portray sexual acts in art. The erotic pots, like most other examples of fine-wear, were crafted for the Moche elite. We know from their burials that the elite liked to surround themselves with luxury goods which those lower down the hierarchy were not permitted to own.

Almost every sexual act imaginable is represented: masturbation, fellatio and back-door activity. The portrayal of the penis was particularly popular and many of the ceramic vessels are phallic-shaped. Due to their significance in Moche art, penis pots shall be discussed in their own right in another article (watch this space!). Interestingly, depictions of female sexual organs are quite rare, though the few known to archaeologists are quite memorable.

Scholars can only guess why certain sex acts were more commonly depicted than others. The most common sexual position is anal coitus (both heterosexual and homosexual). It is possible that anal sex was a form of contraception, or a means by which one could engage in a sexual act when all others were forbidden during agricultural festivals. Several erotic pots portray the act of anal sex at religious festivals between ‘chiefs’, male temple attendants wearing female regalia.

Another common motif is the masturbating skeleton. No one could be blamed for thinking this to be downright barmy, if not a little disturbing. However, the masturbating skeletons are thought to be the personification of fertility, the primary source of ancestral power. Often the skeleton is accompanied by a living man or woman, who is assisting them in their quest for gratification. Together they are symbols of life and death. As unconventional as they may be, the masturbating skeletons imply that death is not the end.

It is also highly likely that the erotic pots were a source of humour, as many of the people artistically portrayed are pulling very comical faces. Personally, I cannot imagine keeping a straight face if I was presented with a pot in the shape of a giant penis.

If you fancy a glimpse of these fascinating and often hilarious ceramics, head to the Museo Larco in Lima. There is a whole exhibition dedicated to Moche sex pots, and it is well worth the trip.

Pyramids contain UFO technology?.......It's out of this world!!

Just read this article and then think about what you just read? The Head of Archeology at Cairo University has Stated that the Theory that the Great Pyramid was Built by Aliens has Great Validity recently at a Summit. This is Amazing stuff for a Number of Reasons:

Most Mainstream Archeologist or Scientist have Dismissed this Theory for Decades with No real Argument against it?

Dr Zahwi Hawass the Head of Antiiquities In Egypt and Basically the Head Archaeologist in Egypt has Worked Closely with Cairo University.

Dr Hawass hasnt responded to this which Suggest he knows its the Truth while for years he said that idea was nonsense then, mainly because it conflicted with his Interest and the interest of his handlers.

The ANCIENT EGYPTIANS documented everything that went on in ancient Egypt yet there is no record of how they built the tallest building in ancient history?

With our Technology today it has been confirmed that we can NOT duplicate the measurements or precision of the Pyramids yet a bunch of people with wooden tools and ropes hauled 100 ton heavy blocks 461 Feet up in the air using ramps I`ll say…Good Luck!

NASA is making an announcement after another about Extraterrestrial life?

In a shock statement, head of the Cairo University Archaeology Department, has told an audience that there might be truth to the theory that aliens helped the ancient Egyptians build the oldest of pyramids, the Pyramids of Giza. On being further questioned by Mr Marek Novak, a delegate from Poland as to whether the pyramid might still contain alien technology or even a UFO with its structure, the professor was vague and replied “I can not confirm or deny this, but there is something inside the pyramid that is “not of this world”. Delegates to the conference on ancient Egyptian architecture were left shocked, however has refused to comment further or elaborate on his UFO and alien related statements.

The Great Pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20 year span. The pyramid is so huge and so perfect that we wouldn’t be able to construct something like this in our days and age that will compare. Each giant Stone ranges from 1 to 20 tons in weight, and the Great Pyramid consisted of well over 100,000 stones. But the Egyptians had no machinery, engines, or construction equipment. So the question still stands, who built the great pyramids?

Theories suggest the Egyptians built these pyramids, but this asks us how Egyptians hauled 20 ton stones and placed them perfectly Hundreds Of Feet high 145.75 m, 481 ft high. Some suggest they built a ramp with stones that went from the ground to the top. The flaw in that theory is that It would take More Rocks to build the ramp than it would to build the Pyramid. When the Pyramid was done, where did these rocks go? So much for that theory.

Another question is How did they move these extremely heavy rocks? Experts that insist Egyptians built the Pyramid suggest, trees were cut down and smoothed off, and were used as giant rollers under these 20 ton rocks. If you would roll a 20 ton rock on 5 trees, The tree would be too worn down and awkward to haul another, so these logs would be replaced every Stone. Due to the fact there are over 100,000 stones that make up the pyramid, you would need an excess of a half million trees. The problem with this theory is the lack of trees in that area. Egypt grows some date trees, that’s about it. And they certainly wouldn’t cut down all their date trees, for dates are one of the main foods in EGYPT! Now the Great Pyramid was the biggest and tallest of all the Pyramids ever built. Since the Egyptians left us an entire detailed written summary of every event in Egypt imaginable, You would think the building of the greatest Pyramid would be discussed. But it Isn’t. The Pyramid was referred to a few times in very early Hieroglyphics. Egyptian writing suggests the Great Pyramid Was Standing Before Egyptians Populated The Land. Ancient hieroglyphics have detailed writings of farming, giving birth, Pharaoh worship, Hunting, Building Structures, etc, BUT the Building Of The Great Pyramid Was Never Mentioned. Hehe makes ya wonder If it took 10,000 workers per month over a 20 year span to build the Pyramid like experts suggest, There wouldn’t be enough people in a 500 mile radius to make this possible at all.

Actually ancient Egyptian writings very often talk of beings from the sky, the sky opening and bright lights coming down to teach them technology and give them wisdom. Many pictures and symbols resemble UFOs and aliens. POSSIBLY aliens built the Great Pyramid. And these solid long lasting construction techniques were adopted by the Egyptians.

Ancient Egyptian legends tell of Tep Zepi, or the “first time”. This is described as an age when “sky gods” came down to Earth and raised the land from mud and water.
They supposedly flew through the air in flying “boats” and brought laws and wisdom to man through a royal line of Pharaohs. And of course, this was all thrown out the window when Christianity came along. Keep in mind that the Gods were the one and only ‘religion’ that there was. No other conflicting beliefs? Why? Well because it was fact, not faith. The modern church would have you believe that’s it’s just a myth. But you have to ask yourself on the edge of Occam razor, what truly indeed is more likely?
That a very advanced alien race came down and altered our gen pool, like ALL other ancient cultures concur with OR, that a bearded spirit in the sky basically went ZAP, and created us in six days. (And kicked back on the seventh)? of course not.. all that in the bible is just copied and manipulated to suite someone else’s agenda for power.

Winged Penis from Ancient Rome!

Amateur archaeologists have been using metal detectors to uncover a trove of ancient Roman artifacts in Britain. Among the centuries-old goodies discovered in 2011 were a pornographic knife handle and a couple of winged penises. Their purpose? To protect the possessor from evil, especially evil wielding a penis of its own. Images below might be NSFW, depending on whether your work considers Roman genitalia classy or not.

Sally Worrell, a National Finds Adviser for the controversial Portable Antiquities Scheme, which allows amateur treasure hunters in England and Wales to seek out and sometimes claim ownership of ancient artifacts, published a report on the nearly 25,000 items discovered through the program in 2011 in the journal Britannia. 

The winged penises came as little surprise to the ancient artifacts researchers. The fascinus is the divine embodiment of the phallus, and is a common motif in Roman art. According to the British Museum (if you're concerned about NSFW images, that link has a particularly masturbatory fascinus), these images are associated with the god Priapus, who was often depicted with an absurdly erect penis, and were often found on the walls of buildings and at street corners. Wikipedia cites Martin Henig's Religion in Roman Britain, which adds that thefascinus was used particularly to ward off evil from children (especially male children) and conquering generals. Oh, and ready your puns: the winged penis was carved, quite appropriately, from bone.

Ah....the Rouge Archaeologist!!!!

As first things, I bring this post published in 2009 on the http://generazionediarcheologi.myblog.it by maraina81, which I think is perfect to explain my new blog.

Are all around us... the rogue archaeologists!

"I firmly believe in a forgotten episode from the history of humanity," says Graham Hancock, about the flood. According to our friendly rogue instead of Noah with the Ark who colonised the Egypt was saved, the Andes and Mexico.

However, anyone who survived the flood must have received help from a higher civilization. But what, dear Robert Bauval? AH, Yes, the so-called "people " that disappears, but in 3400. Perhaps because of climate change, perhaps because, I think, was kicked in the ass by the Egyptians. But that's another story. The people of the stars makes cromlech that make Stonehenge, to see what the proud Bauval shows us. And then, by dint of kicking ass, and cromlech culled, the megalithic “people of the stars” disappears and Egyptians appear.

And if I say Egyptians say Pyramids, no?

And behold the pyramids of the 4th dynasty, dynasty in just 70 years has built 10 (10?) pyramids. And here's the usual leitmotiv: how? Before the pyramids were built with blocks. Then come Cheops Co and & are built the great pyramids in huge blocks. And in the fifth dynasty back to the (nerdy people) planking pyramids. BUT Hancock, has God in glory, gives us an idea: the pyramids have finite Cheops and descendants, BUT were actually started thousands of years ago!!! 10,000 years before some child stars people started to build the pyramids in prehistoric times, then after millennia of silence and nothingness, Cheops one day woke up and did finish his pyramid.

But here's the leit-motiv of leitmotiv: the belt of Orion! And the Sphinx is situated exactly where in the sky, is now a beautiful Nebula in front of the three stars of Orion, which naturally reflect the position of the three pyramids, for those who missed the last 20 years of speculation that fill the mouth (and pockets) friendly rougue. And here's an idea: as we were told those evil genii of the Egyptians when it was dedicated the Valley of Giza Pyramids and Sphinx full? Not with an inscription or a hieroglyph which says "on the day that I did this (besides the Egyptians never wrote anything, no?) but simply by placing the various monuments in order to place them on the model of Orion's belt in the sky. I haven't figured out how we would understand so so easy and immediate this phantom data, but in fact ...

And then comes a geologist named Schoch: according to him, the Sphinx of today is not the original, because the head too small, due to a long and endless erosion. So our Schoch tells us that the Sphinx is older than you think. But the question "and who built 5000 years before Christ?" our hero responds candidly "I'm a geologist. This question must meet others.

And here everything back at the beginning, the flood: the Sphinx presents traces of erosion due to rain unequivocally. Not a drizzle of March light, no, but the deluge above (doesn't have the courage to say it, but in the meantime all of us with a minimum of deductive intelligence we did two plus two ...)!

I am amazed. I, ugly bitch official archaeologist I don't believe a word of what I heard up here. Says our hero Giacobbo, mediator of this insane asylum, that is the line of reasoning of these archaeologists-rogue. The line of reasoning? Then, from that world is the world, and that if God wants archaeology has become a scientific discipline, the archaeologist thinks so, Dear Miss Hancock, Bauval, Schoch and Giacobbo: archaeologist sees signs, tests, material evidence of what he studied and then pulls his interpretations, which seeks to try looking for comparisons (because the lectio facilior, who teaches Philology be winning thing, is that it is easier to occur the norm rather than the exception), then reach conclusions that will be well-documented and scientifically proved. Our heroes instead reason thus: have an idea who is crazy or not doesn't matter, then seek in evidence subject of their interest receipts of their idea. If not then are confirmations but a "we can stand" or a "why not?" Okay, so just write books and go to RAI hosts that are (taxpayers ') money.
