I've seen now that this manga series has become really big. I recently stumbled upon an Italian youtube channel of theories regarding the manga, not much different from what we do here with our reconstructions!!! And I've found this excerpt from the anime dealing with stolen history which is really funny. Enjoy! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOTSz0CHW3g ..read more

If you were in the 'Northern hemisphere' last week, you would likely have seen lots of photos of the aurora borealis. There were lots of great photos. Eg: from In pictures: Northern Lights dazzle around the world However, this post is about the narrative of the Aurora. Firstly - I want to give the younger reader a warning. This post is a bit lewd, even obscene - depending on your age it may not be... Read more ..read more

Source Behold: This is an 1890's picture of the Melbourne Town Hall Organ. Melbourne was a bustling city at that time (490k) but this whole set-up is just insanely over the top. Why does a town hall need an organ? Isn't that a church thing? Does someone mash it dramatically at the end of each new business point? Who was the architect? What's up with those wacky lights. Anyone... Read more ..read more

The simplicity of this technology boggles the mind and that's what makes the value of this practice so underestimated. Who ever said that a bed has to be horizontally flat. We usually sleep on flat beds because our friends and families sleep on flat beds. Our parents and their parents before them slept on horizontally flat beds. But are there any deviations from this horizontal sleeping practice? Turns out there is, actually way back during Egyptian times Royalty used to sleep on beds that... Read more ..read more

I have mentioned in this forum before that I had read the theories of Immanuel Velikovsky's comet Venus and I had translated David Talbott's book "The Saturn Myth" into German to better understand it. I had already asked myself in relation to Immanuel Velikovsky whether people from ancient times had really been too imaginative in describing Venus as a dragon with horns, scales, feathers and a long tail or whether the materialistic world view that we humans have today could be wrong. When I... Read more ..read more

He is an amateur historian who is said to have incredible knowledge. As early as 1988, he stated that it was becoming increasingly doubtful whether Solomon's Temple in Palestine existed at all. He found out through the study of the... Read more ..read more

In this latest part of The Dark Earth Chronicles series just published on conjuyringthepast.com, I consider the association of the 10th century cataclysm with The Wasteland of The Grail Quest legend and examine how this apparent mythology might illuminate that event. ‘The Damsel of the Sanct Grael’ Dante Gabriel Rossetti 1874. Public Domain​ I begin by examining the specific Wasteland accounts in Irish and Welsh... Read more ..read more

Where did it take place?​ ​ We have all been told that a certain King Solomon is said to have resided in Jerusalem at the beginning of the 1st millennium BC. So, there are about 900 years between him and the story of Jesus. He was known in Idism and Christianity as a wise ruler. In Islam, he is revered as a prophet. He is said to have owned over 500 tons of gold, had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Honest? 1000 women? Who... Read more ..read more

So recently I was watching some of the new videos on China by Mind Unveiled and got re-inspired to look at more old maps after looking into some of his research on the Mongols, Scythians and Cathay. While doing so I noticed a couple patterns while investigating Alaska/Siberia in the Bering Strait and the kingdoms that were purported to be there such as Arzareth, Cathay, Argon and Anian. I noticed a name that popped up in those regions... M. Paul, the Venetian. He's accredited on old 16th... Read more ..read more
