Title: Gay Cave Man
Post by: FreeBorn on April 07, 2011, 10:41:39 AM
Archaeologists think they have unearthed a caveman in the Czech Republic who was of a different persuasion, gay. How can they be so sure? Was he found with a bone in his bones? I think this is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps the archaeologists involved are simply projecting a personal desire to further an unscientific agenda?
Revisionist history, methinks. Who knows, none of us were around in the neolithic so who can say?
I guess I've always had the opinion that if any caveman went around with flowers in his hair he would be lumped up and banished by the other cavemen.

Maybe he was a coward who ran while in battle so they relegated him to more domestic duties.

Suicides and deserters are often assigned dishonored status in burial.

Maybe the idiotic archeologist's report had him turning in his grave.

Okay, imagine this, 'cause SOMEONE had to come up with it first! Cavemen are around for generations, boinking cavewomen and making cavebabies. Then, one day, some less than cavemanly caveman says to another caveman, "Hey! Let me stick my you-know-what you-know-where!" BAM! His head's caved in with a club, brains splattered all over the walls of the cave. Same scenario probably plays out a bunch of times before one queer caveman propositions another caveman who turns out to be queer as well and - da-da-da-DAAA! You've got your first official case of sodomy! Dark damned day for mankind, that was.

The DU Adbot is hysterically funny, as usual:

An ad for Crisco shortening, and an invitation to "roll over to learn more".

Sorry guys, these cavemen go back in to the very dark past for us.   As one writer stated funerals were very ritualistic and as they at that time were not busy watching NASCA or as they had no TV spent allot of time trying to figure out the to them inexplicable in life.

Those poor SOB's had not even figured out why woman bleed each month and did not die as a male would.

They did not grasp the concept of birth or death, so they placed in their graves the things they would need where ever they went after death.

The death of an adult was not taken lightly if they were male, some woman who died were they powerful were given a good send off but few woman or children are to be found.

These people to survive had to be working every day to feed the group, to take time off for a funeral was a hard ship, someone had to dig the grave, someone had to paint the body up and their personal possessions gathered up.  Some of the items may have put the group in a bind as the comunity may have needed them.

How ever long all this took meant the men were not hunting and the women not foraging for food.   Whoever this man was he was highly respected for his contribution to his group.   The Pots survived but any other burrial goods may have decomposed, he could have the pot as a sign he was a medicine man who used the pots to make up concoctions for healing.  Most likely he was homosexual as to the position he was placed in, whatever, he was respected and missed greatly by his people.

BTW, the practice of burying people today has not changed much from those days.  The deceased is still painted---makeup, hair done and wearing presentable clothing,--family's will place photos or some kind of relic the deceased loved in the casket, even those cremated the family will be able to place an item or two that had meaning to the departed in the urn to be buried.    Humans saying good by to a loved one are going to follow tradition and the last thing they will do is to displease the deceased and have them come back to haunt us.

When it comes to death, we all have our rituals and we still follow the path in one way or another same as humans have for 15,000 +  years.

They found his remains along side Barbra Streisand CDs, a copy of the movie "Brokeback Mountain," and the bones of a Chihuahua.

This article really amazed me. Frankly I had my doubts. I decided to ask some of my fictional spirit-guide friends if they had any information on this supposedly gay caveman. Apparently the story is true and the caveman could very well have been homosexual. One of the spirit-guides said that a clay tablet was in the grave that had a very crude type of symbols. After much work it was determined that the symbols were actually an early form of writing that roughly translates to "my DU name is". Unfortunately the name could not be clearly read.
