How To Tell If Myths Ring True…
How To Tell If Myths Ring True… The character Jac L’Etoile in The Book of Lost Fragrances studies mythology – it is her life’s work to find the truth behind myths. She would be extremely interested in the following article from the Sunday Review: If Achilles Used Facebook… By PADRAIG MAC CARRON WHEN we pick up a mythological text like “The Iliad” or “Beowulf,” we like to imagine that the societies they describe existed. Even if the stories are fiction, we believe that they tell us something about ancient Greece or the Anglo-Saxons, and that some of the characters and events were based on reality. Archaeological evidence suggests that at…

Apollo 20: Did NASA Go Back? And What Weirdness Did They Find?
Apollo 20: Did NASA Go Back? And What Weirdness Did They Find? More about the moon… Do you know about the claim that an alien body was found intact inside a giant mothership on the moon? There’s of the female so-called “Mona Lisa” extraterrestrial. Apparently there was a clandestine moon mission called Apollo 20, during which the astronauts found and explored the alien space ship and brought this frozen alien back to earth… I am very torn on this Apollo 20 stuff. Some of it seems so real – the Soviet and American flag on the astronaut’s console, the way the frozen alien’s face is slightly decomposed around the mouth…

How The Moon Was Born
How The Moon Was Born Our moon is a true enigma that baffles even modern astronomers - How The Moon Was Born world-mysteries.com “How scientists believe our moon came into existence. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the Moon’s formation 4.527 ± 0.010 billion years ago, some 30–50 million years after the origin of the Solar System. These included the fission of the Moon from the Earth’s crust through centrifugal force, which would require too great an initial spin of the Earth, the gravitational capture of a pre-formed Moon, which would require an unfeasibly extended atmosphere of the Earth to dissipate the energy of the passing Moon, and the co-formation…

Alien, Cryptid, or Poodle Moth? Here is a nature “mystery” for you – a simultaneously disturbing and cute creature. How is that even possible? The sheer weirdness of the Venezuelan poodle moth has caused images of it to go viral on the net… (It looks like an alien to me!

The mystery of the ancient lenses and other lost technology
The mystery of the ancient lenses and other lost technology Was magnification technology in use in Egypt in 3300 BC.? How about telescopes in ancient Greece?… Lost Technology of the Ancients: The Crystal Sun Robert Temple reconstructs the wholly forgotten story of light technology in ancient civilisation. Dating back to at least 2600 BC in Old Kingdom Egypt, but unknown to archaeologists and historians, a science of optics and a sophisticated technology for the manufacture of lenses was widespread and fundamental in ancient times. “The ancient Greek Pythagoreans of the 5th century BC believed that the sun was a gigantic crystal ball larger than the earth, which gathered the ambient…

Beautiful Planetary Alignment Due This Year in Giza
Beautiful Planetary Alignment Due This Year in Giza This image via . While this beautiful planetary alignment of Mercury, Venus and Saturn is really going to occur later this year, it won’t line up over the Giza pyramids. This image is presently all over the internet – but the way the alignment is presented over the pyramids is false. The geometry is wrong. is what it will look like. Isn’t it interesting how 2012 seems to be the year for all sorts of interesting ? Makes one wonder if the Mayans were on to something? I think the pyramids are a celestial calendar – built as a language to indicate…
