As an anthropologist, I find Hancock's work very interesting and appreciate the questions he brings. I've seen too many instances of authorities telling a dozen people that each of their examples are "outliers" or "have no precedent' when their examples all in fact reinforce one another. Hancock's work seems to evolve, and I'm not sure if he even believes some of what he investigates. I think it's unfortunate that he dwells so much on Hapgood and largely discredited map "anomalies", he undermines his own good points by going back to that line of thinking. But he makes some very strong cases in my opinion on cultural traditions and oral history, and ferreting out anomalies that should be discussed.

Hi all,
I seem to remember reading some years ago that humanity's DNA diversity shows a bottleneck about 12000 years ago, possible caused by a calamity that severely reduced the number of people on the planet. Sorry, I've no links or attributions for this. Anyone heard or read this, I love to delve deeper into it.

"An utilitarian nightmare..."
It should be "a utilitarian nightmare." The determinant of the use of "a" or "an" is the sound leading the word not the letter. So even though "utilitarian" begins with a vowel, is has the consonant sound "yoo" and thus requires "a" in front of it.

For the problem painted by N. P. Bogdanov-Belsky:
If we know that:
•10^2 = 100
•11^2 = 121
•12^2 = 144
•100 + 121 + 144 = 365
•10^2+11^2+12^2 = 13^2+14^2
then it comes :
10^2 +11^2 +12^2 + 13^2 +14^2
= 365 + 365
so:
(10^2 +11^2 +12^2 + 13^2 +14^2)/365
= (365+365) / 365
= (1+1) / 1
= 2
it can be done in mental arithmetic

Question about the math problem:
Why does 10^2+11^2+12^2 = 13^2+14^2 ?
Of course it is true, but I am not familiar with the principle.
Read more
-
There is no any principle here. It's just a weird math fact, which allowed to create such a tricky exercise.
For mental calculation we don't need to calculate full sum of numerator knowing that the part of it is equal to denominator. We just put in mind that the first summand is 1. And when we calculate the second component of the numerator it is easy to see the final result.

In japan bizarre and weird is an actual selling point. There’s lots of products pushed out and only the truly insane and weird will really get sold in numbers.
the price tag on some of these are expensive and it has to do with the fact that most Japanese families both parents work. Parents usually feeling guilty give their kids an allowance, this is the same in the US, but the amount given is much higher.
So kids generally have a lot more spending money and they become consumers at a younger age. So they buy all sorts of knick knacks like these toys.

Abrams,
I have some history for you on your second photo titled 'Huge Vintage Snow fall'. This appears identical to a picture displayed in Suomi's Restaurant in Houghton, Michigan. Houghton is located at the base of the Keweenau peninsula and is known as one of the snow capitals of the state. I do not remember the date of the photo, if you would like more information shoot me an e-mail and I will respond with the details from the restaurant. I can recognize the riverfront vaguely in the photo :-)
