DE MANEN VAN PLANEET NIBIRU NU DUIDELIJK ZICHTBAAR

De planeet Nibiru vormt onderdeel van een mini zonnestelsel, maar de planeet zelf heeft ook weer een aantal manen. 

En naar het schijnt vormen deze manen niet alleen een vreemd patroon, ze worden vanaf de aarde steeds beter zichtbaar en moeilijker te verbergen. 

Dat een planeet één of meerder manen heeft komt wel vaker voor en is dus op zich niet zo bijzonder, maar wel dat de manen niet om de planeet draaien zoals onze maan, maar er als een soort parelketting achteraan slingeren wel.

Degene die al sinds het einde van de vorige eeuw zich bezighoudt met de planeet Nibiru of Planet X is Nancy Lieder van de website Zetatalk. Zij zegt in contact te staan met een buitenaardse beschaving, de Zeta's en van hen heel veel informatie te ontvangen omtrent het mysterieuze mini zonnestelsel.

Zo schreef zij met de informatie van de Zeta's in 1997 al over de manen van Nibiru en vergeleek zij deze met een parelsnoer en de reden daarvoor is omdat deze manen niet in een baan om de planeet draaien, maar achter elkaar als een soort slinger achter Nibiru aan zwieren.

Naast de manen bevindt zich achter de planeet een lang gestrekte roodachtige wolk bestaande uit ruimtepuin die er ook uitziet als de rode draak zoals die in de Chinese cultuur een prominente rol speelt en binnen allerlei profetieën ook wordt genoemd in relatie tot deze onbekende planeet.

At thetime of the great destruction of Earth, God caused a dragon from out of Heaven to come and encompass her about. The dragon was frightful to behold, it lashed its tail, it breathed out fire and hot coals, and a great catastrophe was inflicted upon mankind.

Indertijd gaf Nancy aan dat het er ongeveer als volgt uit zou zien:

Het zogenaamde parelsnoer, de rij manen, is enige tijd zichtbaar geweest zo rond 2003 en 2004 toen het stelsel in de buurt van onze zon kwam.

Er zijn toen ook de nodige beelden vastgelegd.

Het parelsnoer verdween toen uit beeld, vanwege de positie achter de zon en was alleen in 2010 nog zichtbaar op de SOHO telescopen van NASA en toen plotseling in 2014 begonnen ze weer op te duiken.

Ongeveer een week geleden publiceerden wij een artikel over een vreemd verschijnsel dat enkele jagers in de Amerikaanse staat Missouri overkwam. Een vreemd lichtgevend object met 12 stralen dat weerkaatste op het water en waarboven in een soort halve cirkel nogmaals 12 objecten te zien waren.

Voor ons was het een groot moederschip dat even tijdelijk zichtbaar werd, met daarboven een aantal kleinere UFO's in de rol van verkenners of iets dergelijks, maar voor Nancy is het iets anders.

Zij zegt dat het de zon is die precies met 12 stralen op het water schijnt en dat de halve cirkel die daarboven zichtbaar is, niets anders is dan het parelsnoer, de manen van de planeet Nibiru.

Daarnaast is er op 5 oktober schijnbaar nog een foto genomen tijdens zonsopgang in Noorwegen waarop dit parelsnoer ook zichtbaar was.

Wanneer Nancy Lieder gelijk heeft met haar theorie, dan zullen er de komende tijd meer beelden en waarnemingen van deze sliert manen moeten opduiken. Zij zegt verder dat het door de grote rode stofwolk met puin steeds moeilijker wordt om Nibiru te zien, behalve wanneer het licht erop schijnt, waardoor je een tweede zon effect krijgt, maar dat het parelsnoer steeds beter zichtbaar zal worden en dat het dit zal zijn wat een einde zal maken aan de planeet Nibiru doofpot.

WATERGATE ADVOCAAT DOET SCHOKKENDE ONTHULLING OVER BUITENAARDSEN  ( VIDEO )

Men heeft altijd beweerd dat Watergate, de inbraak in het hoofdkwartier in 1972 van de Democratische Partij, bedoeld was om de Democraten in verlegenheid te brengen in verband met de verkiezingen. 

De echte reden was een hele andere zoals nu wordt onthuld door Douglas Caddy, de advocaat van E. Howard Hunt, de geheim agent en insider van de CIA die bij de inbraak betrokken was. 

Het is een bekend gegeven dat de Amerikaanse politiek van schandalen aan elkaar hangt en wat dat betreft is er niets nieuws onder zon in verband met beschuldigingen van Russische inmengingen in verkiezingen.

Een schandaal dat al veel eerder speelde en ook met verkiezingen te maken had, was het beruchte Watergate schandaalwat zich afspeelde in 1972 en waardoor Richard Nixon gedwongen werd af te treden als president.

Kern van het schandaal was dat in opdracht van Nixon vijf mannen zouden hebben ingebroken in het hoofdkwartier van de Democratische Partij.

Een jaar later werden de vijf, plus Gordon Liddy en E. Howard Hunt, door rechter John Sirica schuldig bevonden aan de inbraak. Door met name de journalisten Bob Woodward en Carl Bernstein van The Washington Post kwam de werkelijke toedracht van de inbraak boven water. De verslaggevers ontdekten dat de inbraak slechts een onderdeel was van een geheime operatie, geleid door president Richard Nixon, om de verkiezingscampagne van de Democraten te dwarsbomen. De president beweerde echter bij hoog en laag niets met de illegale acties van doen te hebben.

De advocaat die destijds de vijf mannen verdedigde in de rechtbank is Douglas Caddy. 

David Caddy was heel goed bevriend met één van de inbrekers en dat was de CIA agent en insider E. Howard Hunt. Tijdens de allerlaatste ontmoeting die Hunt en Caddy hadden, vertelde deze dat de werkelijke reden dat ze die bewuste inbraak hadden gepleegd, was om bewijs boven tafel te krijgen dat er een grote samenzwering was geweest om John F. Kennedy te vermoorden.

Hunt vertelde Caddy dat de werkelijke reden dat JFK was vermoord was omdat hij pogingen ondernam om buitenaards leven bekend te maken en dat hij deze kennis wilde delen met de Russen, met wie Amerika ook toen al was verwikkeld in een Koude Oorlog.

Na de gebeurtenissen bij Roswell en andere UFO incidenten eind jaren veertig werd er door de overheid een geheime groepering in het leven geroepen onder de naam Majestic 12, ook wel MJ12 genoemd, iets waarover wij al eerder schreven.

Het doel van MJ12 was het bestuderen van het buitenaardse fenomeen en via zogenaamde "reverse engineering" zelf ook dit soort ruimteschepen te bouwen. 

Echter, de macht van deze MJ12 werd steeds groter, zodanig zelfs dat het niet meer onder de supervisie van de president viel. Deze groep opereerde als zelfstandige eenheid binnen de veiligheidsdiensten zoals de CIA. Toen John. F. Kennedy dit gewaar werd, ondernam hij een aantal initiatieven om dit recht te zetten en om zo eveneens controle te krijgen over de technologie die inmiddels was ontwikkeld op basis van de beschikbare buitenaardse voorbeelden.

Eén van de initiatieven die JFK ondernam, was een poging om hetgeen de Amerikanen wisten over buitenaardsen en hun ruimteschepen te delen met de Russen en om vervolgens gezamenlijk met hen een nieuwe ruimtevaart/maan programma te ontwikkelen om zodoende een nieuwe wapenwedloop te voorkomen.

Uit de beschikbare officiële memo's van JFK, waaronder Memorandum 271, blijkt dat Kennedy opdracht gaf om een samenwerking met de Russen in gang te zetten en uit een andere, net vrijgekomen, blijkt dat hij de CIA opdracht gaf om alle belangrijke UFO dossiers te overhandigen. Beide memo's waren gedateerd 12 november 1963, tien dagen voordat JFK in Dallas werd vermoord.

Het moge duidelijk zijn dat er elementen binnen de Amerikaanse overheid waren die niet van plan waren om geheimen met Rusland te gaan delen. Die het zo belangrijk vonden dat deze geheimen voor alles en iedereen verborgen bleven dat ze zelfs bereid waren om daarvoor een president te vermoorden.

Daarnaast zullen er andere redenen zijn geweest, zoals dat Kennedy vastbesloten was om de gelduitgifte uit handen van de centrale bankiers te halen, maar het lijkt alsof het onthullen van het UFO geheim het specifieke moment was waarop werd besloten hem uit de weg te ruimen.

In de volgende video heeft Dark Journalist (Daniel Liszt) een gesprek met Douglas Caddy over wat er zich allemaal werkelijk afspeelde in begin jaren zestig en daarna.

Het resultaat is ontnuchterend: het gaat om acht beren en een hond. De onderzochte sporen betreffen onder meer haren en tanden, zoals gevonden door de bewoners van de bergen in Nepal, Bhutan en China. De wetenschappers van onder meer de universiteit in het Amerikaanse Buffalo lieten de nieuwste genetische technieken op de aangedragen voorbeelden los.

Maar de haren bleken van beren en de tanden behoorden tot het gebit van een hond, zo meldt The Guardian. Wel waren de sporen van sommige beren niet geheel thuis te brengen. De wetenschappers zeggen dat het om een onbekende berensoort gaat. De onderzoekers legden ook nog ‘bewijs’ van enkele musea en dierenparken onder de loep. Ook in deze gevallen ging het om materiaal van de bruine beer die in de Himalaya leeft.

Strange Sky over Illinois, is it a sign of the time?

Over the past year the world has experienced unprecedented anomalies and strange phenomena in the skies and it seems that it continue to increase both in frequency and intensity.

Here is a small compilation of unusual sky phenomena captured around the world the past few days.

On December 1, 2017 another weird sky phenomenon has been captured over Illinois. The image original posted on Twitter shows a colorful streak of light in the middle of circular gap in the cloud formation. The rare phenomenon is a so-called fall-streak hole.

One day earlier we received an image taken by a reader in New Zealand, thanks, showing what looks like a glowing ball of light or second sun in the sky. Maybe the phenomenon is just lens flare or is it indeed something what we cannot explain?

Meanwhile onlookers captured a strange sky phenomenon in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand. The phenomenon is known as a circumhorizontal arc. See also the video.

And what looks like three suns appeared in the sky over China. Two small colored patches, or 'phantom suns', can be seen positioned at the left and right side of the actual sun in the sky. Such phenomenon is known as 'sun dog' and is an optical illusion. See also the video.

Bright Spheres and Evenly Spaced Beams of Light Below The Cloud Stun Deer Hunter In Missouri River, US

An image along with a report that was submitted to MUFON has intrigued UFO enthusiasts. A quality inspector for Boeing since 1980, who has worked before on or near fighter jets, has received a photo from his friend showing a mysterious phenomenon in the sky during sunset on 20th of November 2017. He felt it was so compelling that he reported it to the American-based non-profit organization, which investigates alleged cases of UFO sightings.

According to the report, his friend was with another guy making their way back to the boat ramp after a deer hunting along the Missouri River. When the sun had set around 15 minutes earlier, they saw an unusual group of lights over the clouds and beams of light reflecting off the river.

The bizarre event only lasted for seconds, but his friend managed to snap a picture it.

The quality inspector said that there’s a possibility it could be just a fantastic sun dog-type reflection, but he was having a difficult time explaining the “chevron shaped group of lights over the cloud.” Furthermore, he was not so sure about the evenly spaced beams of light coming from what looks like to be the sun shining down in the cloud.

The sun appears to be reflecting off the bottom of the cloud, and the beams seem to be reflecting off the river if you look at the bottom of the clouds in the image.

UFO Hunters Spot Bizarre White Object In NASA Launch Footage

A mysterious white object in NASA launch footage has brought some rumblings in the UFO community. Many believe it is an extra-terrestrial craft that has been orbiting the Earth secretly for thousands of years.

The unusual white object has been spotted in a NASA shuttle launch’s archive footage that happened in 2011.

Many UFO hunters around the internet are claiming it is evidence of an alien craft.

The shimmery white aerial thing can be seen in the clouds. Alongside of it is the discarded fuel tank from the space shuttle Endeavour after it blasts off in May 2011 for its final mission.

The old footage was originally posted on the official YouTube channel of NASA. UFO enthusiasts dug it up and re-examined it. It was uploaded again to the channel UFO Today, which is dedicated everything about UFO phenomena.

The channel suggests that the strange object is the White Knight Satellite, an extra-terrestrial craft that has been secretly orbiting our planet for thousands of years, but it has never been confirmed at least scientifically.

NASA has always expressed a dim view of these kinds of conspiracy theories, and it appears that the agency does not think humanity will make contact with extra terrestrials sooner rather than later. The discovery of alien life may only be a couple of decades away, according to the co-lead of the NExSS project of NASA at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, Tony del Genio.

Del Genio thinks that in two decades, humanity will have discovered one candidate of alien life. He recognises that extra-terrestrial life may well exist in places and forms so bizarre that it might be very different from Earth.

“The upwelling we detected is like a hot air balloon, and we infer that something is rising up through the deeper part of our planet under New England.”

That’s right. Seismologists report that a volcano is building up under the northeastern United States — Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Vadim Levin, a geophysicist and professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences of Rutgers University, led the research and co-authored the paper published this week in the journal Geology. He and his team used data collected by the EarthScope program of the National Science Foundation (NSF) which has deployed thousands of seismic, GPS and other geophysical instruments across North America to monitor the forces behind volcanoes and earthquakes. That data shows that the area, particularly under central Vermont and western New Hampshire, has a force to be reckoned with.

“It is not Yellowstone (National Park)-like, but it’s a distant relative in the sense that something relatively small – no more than a couple hundred miles across – is happening.”

Enjoy it while you can

Gee, Professor Levin. If you don’t want us to worry, you shouldn’t be bringing up Yellowstone and its current upsurge in earthquakes. That kind of comparison can give one an upwelling in the throat.

The Rutgers press release says the team focused on New England because previous measurements showed its right above an area of comparative warming (hundreds of degrees Celsius warmer than neighboring areas) in the upper mantle. What were they looking for now-

“We’re interested in what happens at the interface between tectonic plates – thick, solid parts that cover our planet – and material in the upper mantle beneath the plates. We want to see how North America is gliding over the deeper parts of our planet. It is a very large and relatively stable region, but we found an irregular pattern with rather abrupt changes in it.”

“An irregular pattern with rather abrupt changes in it.” That’s not something you want to hear from your family doctor about a mole … or from your friendly neighborhood volcano researcher. Not only that, Levin points out that the last intense geologic activity in this area was 200 million years ago, so it’s overdue for a return. He says the data the team collected points to “a much more dynamic regime underneath this old, geologically quiet area.”

That old, geologically quiet area

NOW do you feel an upwelling, especially if you live in Burlington or Montpelier? Is there enough time to pack up your maple syrup and head for Florida?

“It will likely take millions of years for the upwelling to get where it’s going. The next step is to try to understand how exactly it’s happening.”

That’s a relief … except this forecast came from the same guy who says he found that “irregular pattern with rather abrupt changes in it.” Like the doc said about your mole, better keep an eye on it anyway.

The Jerusalem Post is reporting the discovery of a rare and mysterious structure in the Negev desert region of southern Israel. The structure was spotted in a former military firing range area with the help of aerial drone photography. Archaeologists working on the excavation believe it could be around 2,200 years old, placing it in the Hellenistic period of Mediterranean history in between the conquest of Alexander the Great and the rise of the Roman Empire.

Aerial view of the site shows the structure to be a sprawling stone complex.

Dr. Oren Gutfeld of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem archaeologists from the Israel Antiquities Authority are leading the excavation. So far, the excavation has revealed a series of rooms, stone walls, and underground baths. Several artifacts have been uncovered, including incense altars and other stone vessels engraved with images of bulls and the moon, leading researchers to believe that the structure might have been a temple. Bull worship was common among the Edomite (or Idumean) civilization which built settlements in this area throughout the Hellenistic period, leading archaeologists to believe that this could be one an extremely rare discovery.

Some of the artifacts found at the site indicate trade with ancient Greece.

In a statement, the researchers underscore how unique such a find would be if confirmed:

If this was indeed an Idumean palace or temple, it is a rare and exciting find. Similar structures in this country can be counted on the fingers of one hand. It seems that the building was intentionally dismantled, possibly during the Hasmonean conquest of the region.

Archaeologists have found evidence of a large fire among the ruins, possibly indicating that the structure was burned down at some point, likely by one of the ruling dynasties of Judea.

While the excavations will likely take years, this discovery reveals a fascinating glimpse into a little-understood period of Mediterranean history and is one more demonstration of how aerial drone photography is revolutionizing archaeology. Scattered stones and shards of artifacts had been found in the area of this new excavation site for years, but were assumed to be debris until a drone’s bird’s-eye view revealed the outlines of a larger structure. Just wait until remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) catch up with their airborne counterparts. Atlantis, here we come.

'Equator Trap' May Complicate Search for Alien Life

Ozone is an unstable molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. Here on Earth, the stuff is generally produced in the atmosphere after ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun splits "normal" diatomic oxygen (O2). 

The vast majority of Earth's O2 is generated by living organisms — plants and photosynthetic microbes — so ozone serves as a sort of secondary biomarker, at least for Earth-like life.

Earth's atmospheric flows distribute most ozone relatively evenly into our planet's famous ozone layer, which helps shield life from harmful UV radiation. So hypothetical aliens studying Earth from afar with powerful telescopes would have a good chance of detecting the gas.

But the situation is likely different on Proxima b, TRAPPIST-1d and other tidally locked worlds — those that always show the same face to their parent stars, and therefore have a "dayside" and a "nightside" — according to Carone and her colleagues. (Tidal locking is a consequence of a very tight orbit; TRAPPIST-1d and Proxima b complete one lap around their stars every four Earth days and 11 Earth days, respectively.)

Modeling work performed by the researchers indicates that, on planets with orbital periods of 25 Earth days or less, airflows tend to concentrate ozone (and other photochemically produced molecules) in an equatorial band.

"We all knew from the beginning that the hunt for alien life will be a challenge," Carone said. "As it turns out, we are only just scratching the surface of how difficult it really will be."

The new results also suggest that worlds like Proxima b don't have a global ozone layer. That may or may not have a significant negative effect on their habitability, Carone said.

The ancient city of Kish—the first city of the ‘Gods’ after the great flood

“After the flood had swept over, and the kingship had descended from heaven, the kingship was in Kish.” A total of twenty-two kings ruled for a period of 16, 480 years, which make up the first dynasty of Kish.

One of the most important ancient cities to have existed in ancient Mesopotamia is Kish.

Considered to have been located somewhere near modern-day Tell al-Uhaymir in the Babil Governorate of Iraq, east of Babylon and 80 km south of Baghdad, this ancient city was the place where the kingship had descended from heaven after the Great Deluge swept over Earth.

It is there, in Kish, where the Gods came down from the heavens and restored their reign after the total destruction caused by the great Flood, according to the Sumerian King List.

The first ruler of Kish, after the flood, is Jushur, who ruled for a period of 1,200 years. Experts not that his rule is historically uncertain, despite the fact its mentioned in the Sumerian King List.

In fact, according to modern scholars, all rulers mentioned in the Sumerian King List before Etana do not appear in any other known source, and their existence is archaeologically unverified.

Following the rule of Jashur, twenty-two rulers are mentioned as kings of Kish. In total, they ruled for a period of 16, 480 years, which make up the first dynasty of Kish.

Nearly all of the rulers that reigned after the Great Flood, mentioned in the Sumerian King list lived through incredibly lengthy reigns.

Starting off with Jashur, the Sumerian King List mentions how he ruled for 1,200 years. After him, Kullassina-bel ruled for 960 years, Nangishlishma ruled over Kish for 670 years, his reign was followed by En-tarah-ana who ruled for 420 years, Babum ruled for 300 years, Puannum for 840 years, Kalibum ruled for 960 years, he was succeeded by Kalumum who reigned for 840 years, then Zuqaqip ruled for 900 years, Atab ruled for 600 years, Mashda, who was the son of Atab ruled for 840 years, Arwium, the son of Mashda reigned for 720 years and then came Etana, who is referred to as the “the shepherd, who ascended to heaven and consolidated all the foreign countries,” he ruled for 1,500 years. The son of Etana Balih ruled for 400 years, En-me-nuna ruled after Balih for 660 years, his son Melem-Kish ruled for 900 years after which his brother Barsal-nuna ruled for 1,200 years. Zamzug ruled over Kish for 140 years, Tizqar who was the sun of Zamug ruled for 305 years, Ilku ruled for 900 years, and he was succeeded by Iltasadum who ruled for 1,200 years. En-me-barage-si—he “who made the land of Elam submit” ruled for 900 years, and his sun Aga of Kish ruled for 625 years, and then Kish was defeated and the kingship was taken to E-ana.”

Etana, also known as the shepherd is regarded by some as the first king and founder of the ancient city of Kish.

The first archaeologically confirmed ruler of Kish was En-me-barage-si. He is believed to have captured the weapons of Elam, and in different literary references, he and his son Aga of Kish are portrayed as contemporary rivals of Dumuzid, the Fisherman, and Gilgamesh, early rulers of Uruk.

Today, the archeological site of Kish spans over an oval area of approximately 8 by 3 km, transacted by the dry former bed of the Euphrates River, encompassing around 40 mounds, the largest being Uhaimir and Ingharra.

A Trilogy Of Super Moons Is Approaching, And Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Miss It

A series of three Super Moons are set to occur very soon. You’ll have a chance to take a look at three Supermoons on December 3, 2017, January 1, 2018, and January 31, 2018.

Supermoons occur when a full moon coincides with the so-called lunar perigee, the point at which the moon’s orbit is located closest to the Earth.

Since the orbit of the Moon is elliptical, one side (apogee) is about 50,000 km farther from Earth than the other (perigee).

This Super Moon trilogy is your perfect chance to start observing the sky. Image Credit: Shutterstock

Full Moons in perigee seem about 14% larger and 30% brighter than full moons that are near the apogee in the lunar orbit. 

“Super Moons are a great opportunity for people to start observing at the moon,” said Noah Petro, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

It is difficult for our eyes to distinguish these small changes in size when the Moon is high in the middle of the vastness of the night sky.

But, each time a full Moon is observed as it rises or sets, while suspended on the horizon and shining through the silhouettes of trees or buildings, its apparent size can make it seem twice as large.

Get your telescopes ready.

In November of last year, the Moon reached the closest distance to Earth since 1948, which gave rise to a historical supermoon, but these three Super moon events also promise a great show in the sky.

The third Supermoon will be a special one

First of all, the January 31 supermoon will feature a total lunar eclipse, with a totality visible from western North America through the Pacific to eastern Asia.

The orbit of the Moon around our planet is tilted, so it usually falls above or below the shadow of the Earth. Approximately twice a year, a full moon is perfectly aligned with the Earth and the Sun so that the shadow of the Earth completely blocks the Sun’s light, which would normally be reflected in the Moon, explains NASA.

In certain areas around the world, on January 31, the Moon will lose its brightness and acquire a mysterious glow, weaker than normal, due to the scarce sunlight that crosses the Earth’s atmosphere.

Often emitted in a reddish hue due to the way the atmosphere doubles the light, the totally eclipsed Moons are sometimes called “Blood Moons”.

The supermoon of January 31 will also be the second full moon of the month.

Some people call the second Full Moon in a month a «Blue Moon», which makes it a «Super Blue Moon». The Blue Moons happen every two and a half years, on average.

With the total eclipse, it will be a “super blue blood” moon.

So, what does all of this mean? Well, if you ever wanted to start your career as an amateur astronomer, head on to the store and get yourself a nice amateur telescope, grab a few drinks while you’re at it, and prepare yourself for three s }tunning supermoons. Astronomers and fans around the world are already preparing to observe this fantastic trilogy.

Ancient copy of Jesus’ secret revelations to his brother discovered by biblical scholars

Researchers have recently found what is believed to be the ‘first-known original Greek copy’ of an ancient heretic Christian manuscript which describes Jesus’ ‘secret’ teachings to his brother James.

The ancient manuscript was discovered at Oxford University by biblical scholars at The University of Texas at Austin.

It is believed that to date, only a small number of texts from the Nag Hammadi library—a collection of 13 Coptic Gnostic books discovered in 1945 in Upper Egypt—have been discovered in Greek, their original language of composition say, researchers.

However, earlier this year, researchers of religious studies at the University of Texas, Geoffrey Smith and Brent Landau uncovered several Greek fragments of fifth- or sixth-century Greek parts of the First Apocalypse of James, which was believed to have been maintained only in its Coptic translations until now, explains Science daily.

“To say that we were thrilled once we realized what we’d found is an oversimplification,” stated Smith, an assistant professor of religious studies.

“We never speculated that Greek fragments of the First Apocalypse of James remained from antiquity. But there they were, right in front of us.”

The ancient text details the ‘secret teachings’ of Jesus Christ to his brother James. In the text, Jesus reveals details about the heavenly realm, and future events set to occur, as well as James’ inevitable death.

“The text extends the biblical account of Jesus’ life and ministry by allowing us access to discussions that purportedly took place between Jesus and his brother, James — secret teachings that allowed James to be a good teacher after Jesus’ death,” Smith said.

As explained by Smith, such texts would have fallen outside of canonical boundaries set forth by Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, in his “Easter letter of 367” that characterized the 27-book New Testament: “No one may add to them, and nothing may be taken away from them.”

“The scribe has distributed most of the text into syllables by using mid-dots. Such divisions are very uncommon in ancient manuscripts, though they do show up regularly in manuscripts that were used in educative contexts,” explained Landau, a lecturer in the UT Austin Department of Religious Studies.

Smith and Landau published the discovery at the Biblical Literature Society’s Annual Meeting in Boston in November of 2017, and are working to publish their introductory conclusions in the Greco Roman Memoirs series of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri.

Shock claim humans will find aliens with telescopes 'any day now'

HUMANS will find aliens “any day now” and make contact with extraterrestrial beings, a UFO investigator has claimed.

By Tom Towers 

He added: “I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than that - 10 years, five, maybe less than that. It really could happen any day now.”

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has warned that establishing contact with aliens could result in humanity’s destruction.

He believes that a meeting with an “advanced civilisation” could have disastrous consequences for mankind.

Hawking said: “One day, we might receive a signal from a planet like Earth, but we should be wary of answering back.

Hollywood studio joins television production of Rendlesham UFO saga

Tom Potter

Picture: SIMON PARKER

A Suffolk mystery that has provided the inspiration for books, documentaries and a feature film is set to be told on television screens.

Documents relating to the Rendlesham UFO incident from 1980; Press cuttings from the incident in 1980.

According to Hollywood media, Sony Pictures Television has joined forces with the production company behind Foyle’s War to develop a drama series based on the Rendlesham UFO Incident.

Eleventh Hour Films enlisted writer and director of TV mini-series The Replacement, Joe Ahearne, to retell the story ‘Britain’s Roswell’, which unfolded outside RAF Woodbridge over two nights in December 1980.

According to American entertainment trade magazine Variety, a complex family drama will form the backdrop to the series, which will also fast-forward from the height of the Cold War to 2020 – the 40th anniversary of the incidents.

Sony Pictures Television is said to be handling distribution of the series, which is yet to find a broadcaster or platform.

The director was quoted as saying: “When Eleventh Hour Films drew my attention to this extraordinary piece of British and American history, it pressed all my buttons, and I think it will do the same for a wide audience.”

Earlier this year, retired US airforce commander Colonel Charles I. Halt revisited the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge, where he prepared a memo to the Ministry of Defence describing “unexplained lights”, and recorded what became known as the Halt Tape – a documented investigation in the forest, during which he saw mysterious lights like those witnessed by airmen Jim Penniston and John Burroughs two nights earlier.

In 2010, the ex-colonel signed an affidavit claiming the encounter was extraterrestrial and had been covered up by the government.

Other theories for what happened have included the glow of Orfordness Lighthouse, an elaborate hoax and a secret classified aircraft.

Among those joining Col Halt on his return to Rendlesham was Gary Baker, radar operator at RAF Neatishead from 1978-1980, who claimed to have been told “it never happened” by RAF officers, and that radar tapes and bridge logs from that evening vanished.

Nick Pope, who was formerly in charge of the Ministry of Defence’s UFO project, has previously described the Rendlesham Forest incident “one of the world’s most compelling UFO sightings.

360-video shows what the United Arab Emirates’ colony on Mars will look like in 100 years

As part of a plan to put mankind on Mars within the next 100 years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has presented its vision of what a colony on the surface of Mars would look like, and how things would work out for people living on the Red Planet.

Oh, and it is not anywhere near to what we saw in the Movie the Martian, starred by Matt Damon.

The 360 video begins with a ‘holographic’ representative of the “United Government of Mars” welcoming you to your “second home”.

The digital host explains that what you are seeing is “70 years after humanity has established a colony on Mars”, suggesting that the UAE projects a manned mission for the year 2047.

This is what the so-called City of Wisdom will look like.

Then a pod takes you on a 2.5-kilometer route showing you the ins and outs of the “City of Wisdom”, the name of the first human-robot settlement on another planet. This ‘Martian’ settlement has it all and is equipped with state of the art laboratories, a university, skyscrapers and beautiful architectured homes for around 600,000 inhabitants, or Martians.

As it was announced earlier this year at the World Government Summit in Dubai, the UAE aims to be the first Muslim country to contribute to an interplanetary mission.

For this, they have already taken the first steps in their incipient space program, with a robotic probe to be launched in 2020 with the aim of orbiting the red planet the following year, when the 50th anniversary of the founding of the country will be celebrated.

The VR Footage of the City of Wisdom on Mars revelers the city built on Mars by the UAE is equipped with a Hyperloop Transport system and is a place where robots—just like Sophia—walk among Martians. Countless vehicles are seen moving around in the city of Wisdom as well as people gathering in the city just as on Earth.

The UAE made sure to design the city to look as similar to Earth as possible, which is why they included plenty of vegetation in the City of Wisdom.

For the full experience, viewers should see the video using a VR headset.

For those who don’t have a VR headset, the video which has already been uploaded to YouTube is still an impressive experience.

In September, Dubai announced it will be building what is considered the LARGEST space simulation ever when it erects a city that will cover 1.9 million square feet. The city which will be built as an effort to simulate life on the Red Planet will cost more than $120 million dollars.

‘Mars Science City’ as it will be called, the massive simulation will be home to researchers who will live in the city for a year, carrying out experiments and growing foot, producing water and energy, just as people on Mars would need to do.

It is believed that the ‘Mars Science City’ will be home to extremely advanced laboratories that will simulate the harsh terrain, weather, and environment on Mars.

500 years before the Egyptians, an ancient civilization in Peru built incredible Pyramids

The Egyptians weren’t the first to build Pyramids. An ancient civilization in America, more precisely Peru, built stunning pyramids 500 years before the Ancient Egyptians. This ancient culture is considered as the oldest ‘developed’ civilization in America, and it predates by up to 1,500 years other advanced cultures in America like the Olmec civilization in Mexico.

Over 5,000 years ago, an ancient civilization in Peru created incredible Pyramids equally stunning when compared to the Pyramids erected by the ancient Egyptians. The Pyramids of Peru are believed to predate the Pyramids of the Giza plateau by at least 500 years.

Caral is an archaeological site where we find the remains of the main city of the ancient civilization of Caral.

Incredible planning and construction methods present at Caral.

Located in the valley of Supe, 182 kilometers north of Lima (Peru), 23 km from the coast and 350 meters above sea level, this ancient civilization existed in the region more than 5,000 years ago and is considered the oldest city in America.

So far, nowhere in America have archaeologists discovered the remains of a city with temples, monuments, and Pyramids with such a vast diversity.

The ancient city of Caral has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO

The ancient civilization of Caral was contemporary with other ancient civilizations such as those of Egypt, India, Sumeria, China, but unlike them (which participated at least partially with the external world), Caral was developed in complete isolation.

In America, it is the oldest of the pre-Hispanic civilizations, surpassing in 1500 years the Olmec civilization, another important civilization located in Mesoamerica.

The age of the civilization of Caral was confirmed through 146 radiocarbon dating tests performed by laboratories from the United States. According to these, Caral is approximately 5,000 years old, meaning that it developed more than 1,500 thousand years before any other major culture in America.

The Pyramids of Caral are another reason why this culture is more than extraordinary.

We find Pyramids of various sizes at Caral.

There are 7 large pyramids in Caral surrounded by several smaller ones, adding up to 32 structures in total.

Its builders organized the city in 2 sectors: one to the north and another one to the south.

An old dry cause divides both sides.

In the upper sector, there are 6 main pyramids surrounding an empty space.

In the lower sector stands out the Pyramid of the Amphitheater and several minor buildings aligned with it.

Each of the Pyramids of Carl served different functions, each fulfilling a different role in the social and religious order of its inhabitants.

The Pyramids of Caral:

The Main Pyramid or ‘Piramide Mayor’ is 153.52 meters in length, 109.42 meters wide, and has a height of 28 meters. It consists of a stepped pyramid and a circular square attached to its façade. A long staircase 9 meters wide ascends 28 meters in height.

The so-called ‘Piramide de la Cantera’ has 78 meters in length, a width of 56 meters and a height of 13.40 meters.

The Lower Pyramid or ‘Piramide Menor’ has a length of 45.80 meters, a width of 37 meters and a height of 7.50 meters.

Caral also features the so-called ‘Piramide de la Galeria’ which is 110 meters in length, it has a width of 80 meters and a height of 17 meters.

The Pyramid of Huanaca has a length and width of 55 meters, and a height of 12 meters.

The Amphitheater Pyramid of Caral is the largest one with a length of 155 meters. IT is 81 meters wide and has a height of 11 meters.

The smallest of the Pyramids at Caral is the Pyramid of the circular altar which is 42.60 metes in length, it has a width of 28 meters, and a height of only 4 meters.

In addition to the fact that Caral is one of the oldest ancient civilizations in America, and features some of the oldest Pyramids on Earth, their culture is equally stunning because of their technological development.

Caral was one of the most advanced ancient cultures on Earth, 5,000 years ago.

As noted by andina.com.pe:

“As for energy exploitation and fluid mechanics, Caral took advantage of the wind, now known as the Venturi Effect, by channeling it through underground ducts in order to achieve high temperatures through bonfires.”

“As for pharmacology, we found that Caral inhabitants used willow —containing the *active chemical ingredient in aspirin*— to relieve pain such as headaches.”

Website andina.com.pe further notes:

“Another highlight was the civil engineering, which continues to amaze since scientists applied the seismic resistance technology to the over-5000-year-old constructions.”

One of the most important things worth mentioning about Caral is that no weapons, mutilated bodies or any signs of warfare are present on the site. This according to scholars, points to the fact that Caral was a diplomatic and highly developed culture.

WASHINGTON — The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was one for the books — deadly, destructive and the costliest on record. And for the nation’s meteorologists, it could not have ended soon enough. 

“Be gone with you,” Taylor Trogdon, a senior scientist at the National Hurricane Center, posted on Twitter early Thursday.

Today is finally the last day of the 2017 hurricane season. 

Be gone with you.

Thursday marks the final day of the Atlantic season, which officially runs from June 1 to Nov. 30. The final tally: 17 named tropical cyclones, including 10 hurricanes and six major hurricanes that reached Category 3 or stronger. 

In a report published Thursday, Dr. Phil Klotzbach, a meteorologist at Colorado State University, described the season as “extraordinarily active.” 

“It’s going down as a top ten year for most tropical cyclone parameters that we measure in real-time,” Klotzback wrote in an email to HuffPost.

Among the strongest and most devastating storms were hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. 

Harvey slammed into the Texas Gulf Coast in late August as a Category 4 storm, triggering catastrophic flooding in and around Houston. In parts of Texas, it dumped more than 50 inches, breaking the continental U.S. rainfall record. At least 82 people were killed. 

Two weeks later, Irma tore through the Caribbean, shattering several records before taking aim at Florida. The Category 5 storm went down as the strongest hurricane ever in the Atlantic Ocean (not including the Caribbean Sea or the Gulf of Mexico) and the first anywhere on Earth to maintain top winds of 185 miles per hour for 37 straight hours. It also ranked among the strongest tropical cyclones measured at landfall anywhere around the globe, as meteorologist Eric Holthaus noted on Twitter. 

And before the Caribbean had time to recover from Irma, Maria devastated Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands, leaving behind “apocalyptic” conditions, local officials said. The death toll in Puerto Rico, now at 58, continues to rise. And more than two months after the disaster, roughly half of the island remains without electricity.

The 2017 season served as an important reminder of just how devastating hurricanes can be, Marshall Shepherd, director of the atmospheric sciences program at the University of Georgia and a former president of the American Meteorological Society, told HuffPost on Thursday. Prior to Harvey, the country went nearly 12 years without a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) making landfall — the longest period on U.S. record.

“I think we had been in a drought for so long that people really just forgot how destructive, life-altering and society-altering they can be,” Shepherd said. “And to have essentially three major hurricanes just devastate very populated areas, that to me in itself is memorable.” 

Shepherd added that the 2017 season carried the mark of climate change, with storms packing an extra punch, and gave America perhaps its first glimpse of what a future of extreme weather events and climate refugees could look like. 

“We have to start thinking about, planning our cities and our infrastructure, with extreme weather in mind,” he said. 

With damages exceeding more than $200 billion, this season has been pegged as the most destructive hurricane season in U.S. history, according to Weather Underground, which cited estimates from disaster research scientists. That figure includes loses of $114 billion from Hurricane Harvey, $60 billion from Hurricane Irma and $32 billion from Hurricane Maria.

Although 2017 was active, 2005 still holds the record for most named storms (28), named storm days (126.25), number of hurricanes (15) and number of major hurricanes (7), according to Klotzbach’s report. 

Below, a look at how other meteorologists marked the end of the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season on Thursday:
