    yes I read the articles, aesthetics matter because the feeling of joy you get from a job done right, sure no one else will ever see your work but you will still know its there, and its the best you could have made it. that's something hardwired into craftsmen frm time immemorial.

    the archeologists don't claim that. the only purpose of fire was to cut the timber, where did you read that, they state that the timber was cut with adzes and charcoal, and then discusses molding by fire, so the techniques I discussed earlier, which are still in use today.

    actually on the apprentice front it looks more like there were at least 2 schools of design at play in the neolthic well construction industry, locking cog design & mortice and tennon.

    it hints at a very high level of sophistication and a degree of specialization that comes with the formation of complex societies.

    did you read about their pottery repair techniques

    On the aesthetics point I think we should agree to disagree

    There is evidence on the timber surfaces that the log halves were cut to their final length by adze work and the use of burning charcoals (Figure 3). Molding by fire is also a common technique in Neolithic logboat construction


    Yes molding by fire for logboat construction (aesthetics would come into play here)
    but for the well im not so sure

    The same procedure used on two constructions both to be immersed in water given we now know the technique is a great way to preserve timber yet the dont seem to factor that in as a reason

    But if archeologists keep hiding things we will never know will we

    A race of people with elongated skulls, a chamber of unbelievable acoustic properties, and the mysterious disappearance of more than 7,000 skulls makes you think that something very special happened in this place, yet very few people to know about it, and it appears someone wanted it to be this way

    http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/hypogeum-hal-saflieni-and-unknown-race-elongated-skulls-001190

    From an examination of the skeletons of the polished-stone age, it appears that the early inhabitants of Malta were a race of long-skulled people of lower medium height, akin to the early people of Egypt, who spread westward along the north coast of Africa, whence some went to Malta and Sicily and others to Sardinia and Spain.

    Interesting article




    The Paracas skulls, however, are different. The cranial volume is up to 25 percent larger and 60 percent heavier than conventional human skulls, meaning they could not have been intentionally deformed through head binding/flattening. They also contain only one parietal plate, rather than two. The fact that the skulls’ features are not the result of cranial deformation means that the cause of the elongation is a mystery, and has been for decades




    It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans.


    The implications are of course huge. “I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree,” the geneticist wrote. He added that if the Paracas individuals were so biologically different, they would not have been able to interbreed with humans

    Could this expalin why 7000 skuls in Malta went missing .
