It is a fascinating site. Lefkandi is really very close (only a few miles) to the mainland, so I don't think there would be any difference in material culture. The Mycenaean script Linear B was only used for administrative purposes, so it seems when the structure of Mycenaean society collapsed...
It is indeed a mysterious period in Greek prehistory. However, much new light has been shed on the Dark Age by finds from Lefkandi on the island of Euboia, north of Athens. The finds are from an archaeological site and cemetery dating from the 11th to 9th centuries BC, and as well as finding a...
On the national news yesterday here in Greece there were reports and video clips of a bright white light-in-the-sky UFO over the whole city. It certainly didn't look like a planet or plane, hundreds saw the object - there must be a number of videos from mobile phones.
Searched all the...
Thanks very much IsaacKoi for assembling all that info - it'll be really useful!
Still can't decide if something really happened to Villas Boas or if it was some kind of hoax.
It is a fascinating item. Recent tests have shown it may be as much as 50 or 60 years older than its currently accepted date of 80 B.C. Nothing like it was created for at least another 1000 years. So it does represent evidence for 'lost knowledge' in a more convincing way than any other artefact...
I think you're generally right Gene about the timeframe for the MIB, although Jenny Randles in her book 'Investigating the Truth behind the MIB Phenomenon' discusses cases, some from the UK, from the 1980s.
I think the show still occasionally has some interesting guests, but as you say
it has strayed away from the paranormal into politics / alternative science. I think Rense is a fairly good interviewer though, and it does have regular UFO updates.
Yet another guest suggestion - Dennis William Hauck, one of the founding editors of the Mutual UFO Network's MUFON UFO Journal, writer on alchemy and haunted locations.
My website URL is www.mysteriouspeople.com. At the moment it has very little UFO-related material on it. The Villas Boas article will be part of a new section of the site about UFO contactees (not necessarily abductees). I will probably start in the late 19th century, with airship sightings and...
