How do you feel when you see a beautiful crystal? Perhaps the perfection of the diamond, or the vivid colors of the different gems are your thing? The fact is that people have been fascinated by crystals ever since they had first discovered them. The names of the gems come from ancient cultures which were pretty much obsessed with them, adding them to their jewelry, kitchenware and weapons. Do you know that even the Bible describes the new Jerusalem after the apocalypse built all in gems and crystals? An archaeology dig in Spain shows that crystals were an object of

The most striking thing about the archaeology of ancient Crete is how prominent women were in that culture. This was a society in which women had very high status. In contrast to later cultures like Greece or Rome, there were no images of warfare or weapons, and a lack of actual weapons in Minoan archaeology. In fact, many archaeologists believe that ancient Crete was a peaceful, egalitarian society. So... Is a matriarchal society the solution to our problems? By Guest Writer Steve Taylor Ph.D

1) Ancient India/ Pakistan - 2) Ancient Yorkshire, UK - 3) Ancient Nordic These are three ancient Gods with hammers. Two of them have high hats, one has a horned hat. Two of them have resembling shoes, on the God depiction from the Nordic the shoe tip is cut off. However, the Sami people of the Nordic areas have traditionally used similar shoes as can be seen on the other two Gods, both from Ancient India (present Taxila in Pakistan) and from the United Kingdom. Photo by PHGCOM, 2005 Wikimedia GNU. Indo - Greek Buddhist Kanishka Casket detail. The Kanishka copper casket was found near Peshawar. This is ancient Indo-Greek art and the ancient God has a Greek (i.e. Hellenistic) costume according to the following site www.cemml.colostate.edu. The figures on the casket are holding a garland. This particular casket i likely the copy exhibited at the British Museum, the original is exhibited at the Museum of Peshawar. Dated to 127 CE (A.D.). Read more about the Kanishka Casket Photo is used with permission by Carol Ross: Credits to Britain Express. A carved depiction of the Archaic Roman God Mercury from the 2nd or 3rd century, it is on the north west wall of the Kirby Underdale All Saints Church in Yorkshire, United Kingdom. Sören Hallgren SHM This is a depiction of what likely is an ancient God found in Kungsängen, Uppland in Sweden. It can be compared to Hermes and Mercury because of the horns. See depiction of a horned Mercury in the previous blog post. Item 17520, Statens Historiska Museum, Stockholm. The bronze figure has a high horned hat, a hammer/weapon and crossed sticks. It is dated to the same time period as the other two gods, i.e. Nordic Iron Age. The Sami people of the Nordic are known to have used X-crosses when offering to the ancient Gods (ref. Knud Leem, in the 1720's in Porsanger Finnmark, Norway). There was a period in the Nordic called "Roman Iron Age". Again: Pay attention to the body ideals of these archaic Gods, they are quite different from the body ideals of the later arriving Christian Romans in Western Europe.
