The earth lodge at the Ocmulgee Mounds …an ancient Indian mound has a secret hidden chamber inside… Ancient astronomical observatory unearthed in Georgia was doomsday clock? by GARY DANIELS “About two hours south of Atlanta, archaeologists unearthed an ancient Indian mound which had a secret hidden chamber inside.

Death Is An Illusion
Death Is An Illusion “The influences of the senses,” said Ralph Waldo Emerson “has in most men overpowered the mind to the degree that the walls of space and time have come to look solid, real and insurmountable; and to speak with levity of these limits in the world is the sign of insanity.” We have posted here often about Biocentrism, Dr. Lanza’s fascinating theory of the universe and reality, and we are still very intrigued. But, if consciousness is everything, how is death explained using the ideas of Biocentrism? Won’t we cease to exist once our consciousness has passed away? The following article explains that there may in fact…

The Masked (and furry) Avengers
The Masked (and furry) Avengers I was browsing National Geo’s Gallery of World Wonders for something to share here, and it was nearly impossible to decide which image to choose as an intro. Alas, after some consideration, this one won - Hungary: Masked Avengers Photograph by Joe Petersburger “When the calendar turns to pre-Lent carnival season, one thing’s a given in the river town of Mohács in southern Hungary: The busók are coming.

It took two days and nights for the medics to reach all of the wounded soldiers in Shiloh, and some of the soldiers noticed…

The Secret History of the Dixie Cup
The Secret History of the Dixie Cup What was it like before we had single serving receptacles at our disposal as simple as the common paper cup? Such objects are taken for granted to the point where they seem invisible, and yet the significance of such objects is legion… The Unnatural History of the Dixie Cup The Dixie Cup, the Kleenex of paper cups, the ubiquitous, single-serving, individual drinking vessel, was never meant to be shared.
