The Shigir Idol - Likely remnant of the Ancient Teutonic Homeland of 9,000 BCE

'Haunting Russian statue discovered to be 11,000-years-old'

Covered in a mysterious code, the Shigir Idol is the oldest wooden structure in the world.

Michael d'Estries - Mother Nature Network - August 30, 2015

Thousands of years before the ancient Egyptians quarried even the first block of granite for the great pyramids, a massive wooden totem nearly 17.5 feet tall fell into a peat bog in the western fringes of Siberia, Russia. There it lay, preserved in a kind of natural time capsule, until it was discovered in 1894.

Called the Big Shigir Idol, the mysterious statue has baffled researchers for decades due to the coded hieroglyphics covering its surface. While some have surmised that it may contain stories about the creation of the world by ancient man, others believe it to be nothing more than decoration. One thing we do know for sure: This thing is old — really, really, old.

Back in 1997, an initial analysis using radiocarbon dating placed the Shigir Idol's age at roughly 9,500 years. A new analysis this year using seven small wooden samples from the Idol placed inside an accelerated mass spectrometer determined it to be 11,000 years old. That's more than twice the age of the Egyptian pyramids or Stonehenge.

Tibetan Swastika

Sverdlovsk Oblast is  located in what would have been well within the territory of what I would call the Ancient Teutonic Homeland of 11,000 years ago. The designs carved into the Shigir Idol could contain  some of the mysteries of those people. If you look at the above sketch of the totem's markings and signs, there is what appears to be an Othala-like design. I'm not saying that it is an Othala, but if you right-click/view image and place two fingers (top and bottom) on it... it does indeed look like an Othala on a couple of parts of it. Now if we consider that part of the meaning of this symbol is "Homeland," it presents a very alluring possibility. You Asatrar/Odinists out there should be all over this. The Shigir Idol is the oldest preserved wood carving in the world.

It's curious that this design resembles the "endless knot" of Tibetan Buddhism, which could have a similar meaning to the "flower of life." I believe that as demographic changes occurred on the "earth island" over millennia, some of the very ancient symbols were left behind in some capacity. Perhaps the incoming Mongols merely discovered the symbols after the last glacial movement? Just last evening on 'Ancient Aliens' (episode 'The Replicants'), it showed a Tibetan symbol which strongly resembled what I call a "Vehmic Rune" within a circle. Within each of the five sections were Tibetan symbols and text I recall. I believe that this was a real ancient rune, which I had thought was Proto-European; but perhaps had a Teutonic origin, or both.

Teutonic genes in modern Iran

In addition to the endless knot and the Vehmic rune, there are variations of the Triskelion within various cultures around eastern Europe, western and central Asia, and even in Tibet. Swastikas and what looks like the "wheel of the year" (Dharmachakra) are both featured prominently within Tibetan Buddhism. Even ancient Japanese symbols have similar features to many from this very ancient central Asian concept, but I don't want to reach too much here. Then of course there's the Indo-European language brought into India at a later time period by "Aryans" who were an Indo-European people (Mediterranean/Teutonic).

Notions amid the approaching Full Snow Moon IV

'Hunters Become Conservationists in the Fight to Protect the Snow Leopard'

A pioneering program recruits locals as rangers in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, where the elusive cat is battling for survival

By Matthew Shaer - Smithsonian Magazine - March 2016

To reach the Tien Shan mountains from the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek, you head east until you hit the shores of a vast freshwater lake called Issyk Kul, and then you turn southeast, in the direction of the Chinese border—a drive of about ten hours, if the weather is good and the roads are clear. The week I made the trip, last winter, in the company of a snow leopard scientist named Tanya Rosen, it took considerably longer. There was rain in Bishkek, and snow on the plains. Every 20 miles or so, we slowed to allow young shepherd boys, stooped like old shepherd men, to drive their sheep from one side of the ice-slick road to the other. In the distance, the mountains loomed.

First rate early 70's TV horror

'Night Gallery' (1970-73) was similar to 'The Twilight Zone" or "The Outer Limits', except it was more truly "horror." I watched it in syndication as a child, and will always remember that sinister opening theme. It was narrated by Rod Sterling, and surprisingly only went to DVD in 2006.




"Night Gallery" TV Intro

The Rap Sheet

In 1971, Darrin McGavin starred as Carl Kolchak in a made-for-tv vampire movie entitled 'The Night Stalker', and it was truly spooky, suspenseful, and frightening. It was popular enough that in 1973, a sequel was made-for-tv entitled 'The Night Strangler', which was every bit as eerie. These two movies are still popular among die-hard horror fans. Also referenced among those two movies were other made-for-tv horror films from the 70s, such as 'The Norliss Tapes' (1973). I saw that one on YouTube recently, and it was about as good as the other two. Also, if  you look these movies up on the Internet Move Datebase, you can find the other titles, and you may find them on YouTube.

The Kolchak movies led to a very short-lived series called 'Kolchak: The Night Stalker' (1974). Although fighting a different famous monster every episode ensured a short run, I think the series paved the way for other similar series decades later. Had they used an "ongoing investigation" template, it may have worked much better. All three movies mentioned earlier are on YouTube in their entirety.

Nuuk, Greenland

Nuuk is the capitol and largest city in Greenland (pop. 16,5830). The following video gives a good idea of a drive through Nuuk. Remember, this is Greenland; just about the next thing to Antarctica.
