Recent Discovery of a Prehistoric Menses Site
Archaeologist and explorer Marilyn Jesmain PhD (Dr. Jezz) discovers an archaic women’s mensus site near Taos, New Mexico
There has been little or no research about pre-Anasazi women’s gathering places until Dr. Marilyn Jesmain’s discoveries in northern New Mexico. Also known as “Dr. Jezz,” her insights and experience lead her to believe it is a is that it is a mensus site, dating back to “Basketmaker” times, at least 2,000 years ago. As Dr. Jezz so eloquently puts it,
“In prehistoric cultures such as this, women’s ability to create life gave them great power. Women gathered and distributed food and owned the belongings while the men lived on the periphery of these hunter/gatherer groups. Since all the women would have menstruated together, they would have used this secluded site to train the girls who were coming into puberty or preparing for motherhood, to care for the old people, and to make medicines and ceremonial paraphernalia.”
Working closely with Dr. Jezz, Calgary, Alberta-based video producer and scholar Lorene Shyba has chronicled this intriguing discovery in a 5-Minute YouTube video that can be viewed by clicking the above YouTube video link.
This video was shot in a remote area in NE New Mexico.
