Conflict Zone Artefacts
Maybe it's 'looting.' Personally, I don't like that term; it doesn't feel right for abandoned 'stuff' (philosophically, dead people aren't; 'they' cannot own 'property') -- rival claims should default to living finders, not lineage chains of dead 'owners'.

Ötzi's Tats
Ötzi the Iceman has never been mentioned here before? What I find telling, the initial Bad Theory of expert scientists was overwritten by artisan-craftspeople who actually knew what they were talking about: yep, living tattoo artists.

Patriarch Jacob-Israel is Herakles-Palaemon?
A theory is just a theory, until debate and consensus deems it worthy. Maybe it becomes widely accepted, even common-knowledge or even 'fact.' What follows is something less understood, perhaps highly debatable, perhaps wrong. I want to trace the IDEA and ACCEPTANCE of the theory that Jacob-Israel w...
