'Fox hole' opens passage to Neolithic past, possibly Hades

A Field Museum curator is digging around a cave in Southern Greece that's been compared to the mythical underworld, Hades. That cave might help explain why people choose to migrate to big cities or high tail it to the suburbs.

William Parkinson is the associate curator of Eurasian anthropology at the Field Museum. He is on a research team, called The Diros Project, made up of two Greek and two American archaeologists (both Chicago natives).

They are excavating Alepotrypa Cave, which is nearly four football fields long. The researchers compare the most striking room in the cave to a Cathedral...

They have unearthed tools and pottery that remain from a Neolithic (Stone Age) community between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago. Under the dripping stalactites, skeletons dating as far back as 8,000 years rest under layers of sediment...

Alepotrypa was not resettled by later civilizations, so the authenticity is extraordinary, Parkinson said.

The settlers used the cave as a shelter, a cemetery and a sacred worship place. The population expanded outside of the cave and bloomed into an early urban center.

The pottery and "ancient people's garbage" the settlers left behind are the strongest evidence of a densely populated village, Parkinson said. A two-by-two meter unit revealed more than 30 pounds of pottery. The archaeologists unearthed materials and pottery styles from different regions, which indicate economic activity and a mingling of cultures.

"Kondraros said his uncle was out hunting with his dog in the late 1950s, when the dog took off in pursuit of a fox and darted into a small hole.

“After two hours or so, the dog never came out,” Kondraros said. He said his uncle widened the hole and ventured inside. That hole, he said, was the opening to Alepotrypa Cave.

So what happened to the dog?

I, for one, do not believe in “cave men” as portrayed by these heathen eggheads. There were apparently humans living in that cave sometime in the past. A (Christian) nuclear engineer from GE back in the 1970s named Ulrich Jelenek, stated that he believed that sites like this one were not inhabited by pre-historic humanoids; but rather by descendants of Adam and Eve just prior to the Noahic Flood.

The Scriptures state that outside of Noah and his family, the human race had forsaken any regard or deference for God; that wickedness covered the Earth, and that, Quote: “Every imagination of man’s heart was ONLY EVIL CONTINUALLY! End Quote. Genisis 6:4 - 6.

Therefore, these inhabitants of the cave were not remnants of early man’s “evolution”. They were descendants of Adam’s Race who had sunken from the perfect specimens of humanity, fresh from the hands of God; and sunken, one generation after another, into a virtual brute condition by abandoning any obedience to God and following their sinful bent with complete abandon.

Case in point: Today’s Democrat Party. Give them a few unbroken generations to pursue the murdering of the unborn for convenience sake, to practice every form of sexual perversion and debauchery they can dream up, and to wallow and revel in and promote any and every self-serving form of untruth, homicide for government progress and mayhem for political victory, and they’ll eventually be grunting, growling beasts. They may possibly still be wearing three-piece suits, but they’ll be sub-human, none the less.

In fact, I could rattle off some names of democRAT individuals now, who are actually ahead of the curve and well on their way DOWN the path of regression....a number of them are in high positions in the current regime!
