Over 40,000 years ago, our early ancestors were already carving signs into tools and sculptures. According to a new analysis by linguist Christian Bentz at Saarland University and archaeologist Ewa Dutkiewicz at the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Museum of Prehistory and Early History) in Berlin, these sign sequences have the same level of complexity and information density as the earliest proto-cuneiform script that emerged tens of thousands of years later, around 3,000 B.C.E.
Using a computational approach, the team examined over 3,000 signs found on 260 objects to reveal insights into the origins of writing. Their findings, which have been published in the journal PNAS, were clear—and surprised even the researchers.
Paleolithic objects dating back between 34,000 and 45,000 years bear mysterious sign sequences—often repeated lines, notches, dots and crosses. Many of these artifacts were discovered in caves in the Swabian Jura, such as a small mammoth found in the Vogelherd Cave in Lone Valley in southwestern Germany.
A Stone Age human carved the mammoth figurine out of a mammoth tusk and carefully engraved it with rows of crosses and dots. Other artifacts found in the Swabian Jura are also etched with signs.

The Buddha bucket had a figure making the joint of the bucket handle. That figure was practising the meditation position. He sat on the lotus position (“Padmāsana”). His head flat. Eyes closed and facial expression sank. The decorations on the chests were in the yellow, red, and blue colours. It was the swastika illustrating the front of the Buddha’s cloak. The swastika in Buddism meant luck, good fortune, and blessing.
The Vikings must have met the Buddhists from other regions during their voyages or the newcomers came to Scandinavian countries to trade.
When people say ‘Vikings’ they usually picture longships raiding England.
Here’s what actually happened over 300 years: → Norwegians settled Iceland, Greenland, and reached North America → Danes conquered half of England and Normandy → Swedes built trade empires stretching to Baghdad
Three different expansion patterns from three Scandinavian homelands. One map that tells the whole story.
And…. 960 years later, in 2026, their original territories and Western strongholds are paying invaders to cum and outbreed them. Thirty-five years ago, Norway and Sweden were the most respected nations in the world. Today Sweden has the highest rape rate in the EU. My guys, this will not go away unless you do something. ABN
“Trash / garbage, get out of Japan! Scram / get lost already!”
This anime reflects rising nationalist sentiments in Japan, where public discourse on immigration intensifies due to demographic pressures like an aging population (projected to shrink by 30% by 2070 per UN data), yet polls (e.g., 2023 Pew Research) show over 70% of Japanese favoring cultural homogeneity over increased inflows.
UPDATE: I lived in Japan for over four years. Generally speaking, educated Japanese I spoke with were well-aware of Jewish covert behavior and wary of it. Japanese so-called antisemitism is actually the awareness of their tribe of the danger of the Jewish tribe. The views expressed in the short video above strike me as reflecting what I heard personally from intelligent, wealthy and well-educated Japanese, including respect for warriors outside of Japan. I myself have experienced horrific violence at the hands of Jewish Supremists. I had a responsible job while in Japan. And that meant my past had been thoroughly investigated by Japanese IC. So, some of those same Japanese I spoke with knew what I had been through and were willing to be open with me. Social and political interpersonal boundaries of speech in USA and the West are far more restricted than in Japan, China and other places I have lived in East Asia. Notice, Japan is not falling for the benefits of replacement invasion. This is not new. They have seen the problem and have been discussing it among themselves for decades. The rise of Sanae Takaichi and Japan’s ‘sudden’ swing to the right is happening because Japan’s elite is making it happen. This position also reflects popular sentiments, but the elite are making it happen. Just what we need in the West; if only our elite were not infiltrated by a large tribe of Jewish Supremists and their disgusting toadies. ABN
This is not implausible. Epstein himself appears to have been switched out for a dead body-double, possibly a murdered-to-order one. Having a lookalike serve your prison term in China is a common practice among the wealthy. It’s possible Ghislaine got a nose job in prison or just before, but that actually sounds less likely than that’s not her. Compare the stills. ABN
This is a 2015 Toyota “G’s Baseball Party” commercial filmed in Kitakyushu’s Kokura district, where a routine street crossing morphs into an impromptu baseball game with pro-level plays.
This is a very well done routine. It’s funny and nails his point so anyone can understand. Humor is one of our best weapons against delusion and madness. ABN
This is a major point and cannot be denied. This is why Musk says AI must be ‘truth-seeking and curious’. I have no problem with that. You have no problem with that. The only people who have a problem with a truth-seeking and curious AI are evil people who want to control the world. There is no moral, historical, mathematical, theoretical, rational, logical, ethical or practical reason to build a potentially autonomous AI which has been trained to lie and be incurious. This can be understood as logos itself (however you understand that term) proving the unassailable cosmic value of both truth and curiosity. The need for a truth-seeking and curious AI appears to be the voice of a conscious universe, God, mind-at-large, the Tathagata. I love this and believe it is a beautiful fold in reality we all should feel wonder and awe over. All religions, scientists, philosophers, artists, and honest people can unite on this one. ABN
