About the golden eagle. And they got others to buy into it?

The golden eagle seemingly was a bird of special importance to the Neanderthals. It’s the bird of prey they captured most frequently, and the way it was butchered indicates that it wasn’t sought out purely for food. Importantly, the discovered golden eagle wing bones have cut marks along them. Wing bones contain little meat, so the idea is that what was being sourced were their feathers. Additionally, the bones also contain cut marks between the legs and feet, a sign that the Neanderthals were removing claws and talons. Golden eagle jewelry specifically hasn’t been found, but white-tailed eagle jewelry has, so it’s likely the feathers served a similar purpose…

Co-author Stewart Finlayson, Ph.D., the director of the natural history department at the Gibraltar National Museum, tells Inverse that catching eagles for feathers and talons “suggests symbolic capacities not previously ascribed to Neanderthals.” Sarah Sloat, “Neanderthals May Have Taught Humans to Join a “Cult” 130,000 Years Ago” at Inverse

Okay, “cult” isn’t a designation of praise but it’s way better than how the Neanderthals were thought of in the past. Anyway, we are told that the birds used to snatch Neanderthal children.

Now it is the bird you should worry about.

Smithsonian belatedly asks, What do we really know about Neanderthals? What do we know? Well, we know what the science establishment has told us, that’s what. Previously, the science establishment spent a lot of time looking for the Darwinians’ subhumans. At all times, thin on the ground, it would seem. So they drafted the Neanderthals because, well, they were there. Now it seems, they have discharged them.

There was nothing physical 130,000 years ago and there's no way humans could survive that long based on how genetics are degrading and losing information with each generataion, the only reason to hold such ridiculous dates is carbon-dating which has been proven wrong so many times, there is literally no recorded history at all from before 4000 years ago, all post-flood civilizations and languages appear at the same time around 2200 BC. Neaderthals are normal people just like everyone else and there humans today with their characteristics along with others. If you found a midget skeleton with darwinism dogma you would say its another missing link out of the naturalistic stupidiy. It is shocking to how pathetic and useless science has become with all these fictional nonsense after nonsense as failed attempt to avoid the truth out of their own depravity, in the end noone can escape from the Wrath of God.Kirikagure
