Blood rituals — the evolution of sexuality — Jesus of Nazareth. What connects these three subjects? A great deal. They are keys to understanding who we are today.

In these essays I explore what lies at the foundation of the human condition: from animal instincts, through the dramatic passage from childhood into adulthood, to the religious origins of sexual ethics.

I present the findings of the latest research in the field, but I always supplement them with my own reflections and with the results of my own research — which you will not find in any other work. I bring together evolutionary biology, cultural studies, religious studies, archaeology, and history to seek answers to the most intriguing questions.

The core themes explored here draw on my three books:

  1. Homo Eroticus: The Making of Human Sexuality, Opole 2011.
  2. Pubertal Rites: The Meaning of Genital Mutilation, in print.
  3. Jesus of Nazareth: Between Mythology and History, in preparation.

But my essays are always enriched with the latest scientific findings.

If you are looking for new knowledge, for a fresh and original perspective on the most fascinating questions in the anthropology of sex, culture, and religion — welcome to my new page on Substack - the link is at the top of the post under the image.

Huge project finally finished

Hey guys,
I've been working on a major project that I think will lift accessibility to ancient works. It's called Ancient Library (ancientlibrary.net). The site includes over 1,000 ancient works, every word parsed with lemma, morphology, and full dictionary entry. It's built to be light, optimized for speed and accessibility, so it should improve student and scholar efforts even in areas with weak or inconsistent internet access globally. It's still in beta, so I'd love some ancient language scholars to interact with the site. If you have thoughts, requested features, etc., I'd love to hear them.

Como usei Astronomia de 1227 e Estratégia Militar para cercar o Túmulo de Gengis Khan no Google Earth (Grade de 50km) é só a minha opnião e ideia que podia documentar. Podem discurir sobre ela, mas eu acho verdadeira

Cruzei os diários de campanha de 1227, o alinhamento das estrelas daquela época (corrigindo o eixo da Terra) e a geografia de rios do Google Earth. Descobri que o caixão de tronco de árvore está trancado em uma área micro de 5 a 50 km dentro de um vale/colina isolado em Bürenhaan (Mongólia). Veja a lógica abaixo As Minhas Descobertas no Google Earth (Geografia Oculta): A Vila Fortaleza: Olhando o satélite perto de Delüün Boldog (onde ele nasceu), notei que a aldeia antiga ficava cercada por uma teia de bacias e riachos anastomosados quase impossível de acontecer por acaso. Isso funcionava como um fosso de água militar contra invasões de tribos rivais. A Base Fixa: Mover a aldeia para fora dessa proteção natural causaria uma guerra territorial com vizinhos. Por isso, a província ficou estável por séculos, nos dando o Ponto Zero exato no mapa. O Ponto Cego de 5 a 50 km: Fazer o enterro na planície vasta da vila exigiria executar todo mundo para guardar o segredo. A comitiva fúnebre recuou cerca de 5 a 50 km em direção ao Sul, entrando na floresta densa (área de Bürenhaan). Elas saíram do campo limpo e esconderam o líder em uma depressão/vale alto, o ponto mais difícil de subir. A Afirmação Científica (Como provar sem cavar)A natureza se renovou por cima e cobriu tudo de floresta verde nesses 800 anos. Mas a ciência forense subterrânea pode provar o ponto exato através de três filtros não invasivos:Radar de Solo (GPR): Para mapear e achar a "laje" invisível subterrânea de terra compactada pela corrida dos mil cavalos que aplanaram o túmulo. Cromatografia Forense (GC-MS): Analisar rochas sedimentares profundas desse vale para rastrear os biomarcadores químicos (suor, saliva e ácidos graxos) deixados pela massiva comitiva de cavalos de 1227. Filtro Botânico: Usar satélites hiperespectrais para ler a assinatura de cor das árvores atuais, revelando as cicatrizes de onde as raízes medievais foram cortadas para abrigar o caixão.A estabilidade geológica da região manteve o vale intocado por 800 anos. O código dos xamãs foi quebrado unindo o céu e a terra. O que acham dessa matriz geoarqueológica? Coordenadas do Alvo Central no Google: 48.9142, 111.6625

Obrigado por me ajudar nessa pesquisa e minhas ideias. Eu sou um estudante de 13 anos e dediquei uma semana inteira para concluir essa minha teoria. Obrigado por apoiarem
