Arkaim

[Pannonius]

Arkaim is an archeological site in southern Russia, dating from 20-17 century BC. This city belonged to a highly advanced Indo-european civilisation known as Andronovo culture, or Sintashta-Petrovka culture.

Your point?

 

[Sharwood]

What exactly are we discussing? Did Muslims do it?

 

[TheLastOne36]

Muslims lived back then?

Well, this obviously supports the ancient astronaut theory.

 

[Sharwood]

Muslims lived back then?

If Pannonius is starting a thread about this, it has to have something to do with them. Maybe the aliens put them there.

Alien Muslims were responsible for the destruction of this city.

Maybe this city is the mythical Sodom, or Gomorrah.

Russia's in that Jesus book isn't it? Don't they call it Gog or Mahgog or some name that sounds like puking? And dude you still haven't given me satisfaction, or mind altering drugs, or apologized.

Makes as much sense as anything else Von Daniken writes. Sumerians came from Peru, aint ya heard?

I'm pretty sure Magog is around the Golan heights. Land of giants, right?

Sumerians are simply strange. To show dominance on the battle field they would sodomize the corpses of their dead enemies. I don't think we should pay much mind to the Sumerians.

I think thats Mediggo.

The steppes of Central Asia are only referred to as Gog and Magog in the Alexander-Romance, IIRC. They pretended he built the Hyrkanian Wall to keep out the barbarians from them (in reality, it was the Pahlavan). And Megiddo is in the Jezreel valley, not quite far north enough for Golan.

How is it I've not heard of this? That's the single most peculiar custom I've ever heard of. Fun though.

And Megiddo is the Valley of Megiddo, also known as Armageddon. Yes, the Armageddon. I'm pretty sure Magog has been found, several sites dug up, and it's in the Golan Heights general area.

Largely unsubstantiated rumor I heard on Cracked. But worthy for this thread.

O RLY? Golan Heights you say.

 

[Sharwood]

Hilarious.

Tried to one-up you by showing the Australian Garden of Eden, but there's no wiki page on the bastard.

You're right next to Mordor. You can't possibly have the Garden of Eden.
