Ancient Weapons Emerge From Melting Arctic Ice

A treasure trove of ancient weapons has emerged from melting ice patches in the Canadian Arctic, revealing hunting strategies thousands of years old.

The weapons, which include a 2,400-year-old spear throwing tools, a 1000-year-old ground squirrel snare, and bows and arrows dating back 850 years, have been found high in the remote Mackenzie Mountains, a region where Mountain Boreal caribou abound in the summer months.

Dotted with ice patches resulting from accumulation of annual snow that, until recently, remained frozen all year, the mountains have been the caribous’ shelter for millennia.

Seeking relief from the heat and annoying bugs, the animals huddle on the ice patches, becoming an easy target for hunters who recognized this behavior millennia ago.

Their tools buried deep beneath centuries of winter snow are now revealing how hunting strategies developed over thousands of years.

"We are talking of complete examples of ancient technology, including arrows with wooden shafts, feathers and sinew hafting. These artifacts are giving us an entirely new appreciation of how ancient hunting tools were made and used," Tom Andrews, an archaeologist with the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Center in Yellowknife and lead researcher on the International Polar Year Ice Patch Study, told Discovery News.

I thought this worthy of posting and found it quite interesting.
Always shedding light on old times, or so we think.
Enjoy!

Cool stuff.

The melting ice is also releasing ancient codes embedded into the earth. These codes, being released now, are assisting Earth and humanity with the with ascension process/revelations/2012.

Regardless of what 'science' says, the ice does need to melt. Change is the only constant here. Embrace it!

Is there a source for this, and if so, could you link it? I'm rather fascinated by the whole code thing. I havn't heard this theory before. Thanx.

PS - nice find op.

SnF for the article link...interesting stuff. The process isn't new, artifacts have been collected from melting/receding glaciers for many years. Global warming doesn't have many long-term benefits, but one of them is greater access to very well-preserved remains and artifacts.

Probably the greatest find was Otzi the Iceman with his weapons and possessions.

Otzi...poor guy.

It's a generally accepted fact in the metaphysical world. I've got a couple of links that I can pinpoint with some talk of it ... (don't expect any 'scientific facts' though)

Planetary Change

"Now most of you are well aware that your planet is undergoing many changes at present. We tell you that these are indeed appropriate. All are designed to clean, clear and up-shift the vibrations of the planet. Many humans feel the phenomenon of global warming , of hurricanes and quakes is to be feared and stopped. This is not the case. The melting of the polar ice caps, the winds, the shaking and such are all quite appropriate These events indeed are quite necessary. Global warming brings about all of these, and as such the very evolution. The evolution you call Planetary Ascension. It receives the energies of the sun, melting the ice caps, as it were, releasing that which has been encoded, traveling through the waters and the fields of energy of the earth, attaching and activating all that touches upon it as well. In this way, even evolution, consciousness and such begins to move forward.

Many fear that the warming, the volcanic eruptions, the storms, the earth quaking, and the magnetic shifts will create a global cataclysm. We tell you that for now it will be more gradual depending somewhat on the reaction of humanity, whether it be with more fear or with a restructuring calibration. It is in fact humanities reaction that will determine whether there is to be a great cataclysm or small localized cataclysms. Make no mistake, Dear Ones, the changes will and must continue and if the masses were to be duly educated and open to the stance and vision of higher good, such appropriate changes could be made much more easily, and sooner rather than later.

Yet many among humanity are those who wish to 'save the planet' in your terms. Many misunderstand that the changes are requisite, and indeed the planet is not dependent on humanities salvation. So the channel asks what is the nature of mans relationship to the living planet. It would be best if the relationships were to be synchronistic and be aware that truly a dialogue can take place now between the earth and humankind. For those of you who have spent lifetimes as the Earth-Keepers, the indigenous, the Druid, the Atla-Ra, indeed many of you such as the channel are here now specifically to hold the energy of these dialogues, and they are occurring..........."

Awesome stuff.

Maybe one of these days the ice will reveal some bigger secrets. Global warming isn't totally bad after all.

blujay,

If a "Earth-Deirdre" was somewhere in there I'd swear this was from Alpha Centauri, if you picked the Gaian sect. Any talk of worms in there?

reply to post by Maegnas

Are you talking wormholes? Or earth worms? Your post confused me a tad.

This is channeled, though not from Alpha Centaurians. Speaking of that, the Arcturians are stellar communicators and teachers of multidimensionality.

reply to post by blujay


What in the world does channeling aliens from Alpha Centauri and some "code" have to do with ~2,000 year old primitive hunting tools??

Anyway.. Nice find, I love it when they discover things under the ice. S&F

Now i wish it was reversed and it was the Antarctica area where the weapons were found and they were Atlantis flying UFOS! Great find nontheless

It is the tip of the iceberg to say the least and we are such a young species, no telling what discoveries we have in store


Fasinating.
