Who Really Built the Pyramids of Giza? Thoth’s Enigmatic Emerald Tablets May Provide the Answer
Who Really Built the Pyramids of Giza? Thoth’s Enigmatic Emerald Tablets May Provide the Answer
The Emerald Tablets are one of the greatest enigmas of archaeology. They can be considered an obscure side of Egyptian mythology, characterized by events where myth seems to meet history.
Scholars consider the Emerald Tablets a legend concerning the gods of Ancient Egypt, revealing mysteries involving the ancient societies that survived the Great Flood. The tablets are known as a cryptic Hermetic inscription said to contain the secrets of alchemy and the foundation of the Hermetic tradition.
An imaginative 17th century depiction of the Emerald Tablet from the work of Heinrich Khunrath, 1606.
According to the myth, Thoth - the Gods' scribe - compiled the tablets. He divided his knowledge into 42 plates of emerald, codifying the great scientific principles ruling the Universe. The legend tells that after the gods’ fall, the Hermetic tablets were cleverly hidden so that no human being might find them. Only Thoth, on his return to that dimension, was able to recover the mysterious book.
A figure of Thoth carved on the back of the throne of the seated statue of Rameses II.
According to other interpretations, the tablets were kept in the so-called Hall of Records and then later hidden within the Library of Alexandria until they were lost forever, after the terrible fire which destroyed the ancient building and its legendary books.
A 17th-century edition of the Emerald Tablets, as created in legend by ‘Hermes Trismegistus’—a combination of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth.
A very interesting legend told by Jewish mystics connects Thoth’s Tablets to Abraham’s wife, Sarah. According to the myth, she found the Egyptian God’s tomb and his precious manuscripts during their escape into Egypt, fleeing a starvation afflicting Canaan.
In that case, if the narrative is historically accurate, we can assume that the Emerald Tablets’ origins may refer to an ancient time, substantially before the Bible’s Great Flood. Therefore, the origins of the Egyptian gods and the Zep Tepi (a Golden Era or time where gods ruled in Ancient Egypt) may have an intriguing connection, confirmed by other civilizations’ legends.
It was only during the Middle Ages that the Hermetic documents were translated into Latin from Arabic, while the first European printed version was published in Nuremberg, in early 1541. The title was “De Alchimia” written by alchemist Johannes Baptista Montanus Veronensis Patricius. Thanks to his work, the ancient documents have survived until now.
Fact or Fiction?
Analyzing the legendary texts, questions surface: can we assume that the Hermetic document is a real historical fact and not a myth? What should we make of the contents and scientific codes inscribed into the tablets? Is there a possible connection between the god Thoth and the Pyramids Civilization?
According to the mysterious document, can we state that Thoth was the builder of Giza?
In my two decades of experience, I learned to trust in objective facts, as a result of a precise model of investigation. Starting from a study of the myths, I aim to propose a new point of view concerning the possibility that the myth of Thoth is a true story.
“Built I the Great Pyramid, patterned after the pyramid of earth force, burning eternally so that it, too, might remain through the ages. In it, my knowledge of ‘Magic-Science' so that it might be here when again I return from Amenti. Aye, while I sleep in the Halls of Amenti, my soul roaming free will incarnate, dwell among men in this form or another.” – Emerald Tablet 1
Emerald Tablet I – The History of Thoth
If the Emerald Tablets are reliable, what might the relationship between Thoth and the Great Pyramid look like?

The first line, “ Built I the Great Pyramid ”, is a clear expression concerning an unambiguous assignment of the project ownership. Have findings confirmed this possibility, least of all for the Great Pyramid, within which no inscription referring to the builders was ever found?
The only exception are some symbols found on the back of the Gantenbrink’s door—a limestone door with two eroded copper handles found in shafts in the Great Pyramid’s Queen’s Chamber, discovered by German engineer Rudolf Gantenbrink. In my opinion, and by analyzing the signs, I can assume that the marks cannot be assigned to a well-known Ancient Egyptian writing, although Egyptologist Luca Miatello related the obscure handwriting to Hieratic, and its meaning to a sequence of numbers and measurements by which to build the conduits into the Queen’s Chamber. I consider his theory unfounded because of the lack of correlation among clues and hieratic writing. It could be a kind of unknown writing, increasing the mystery on the origins of the Giza Pyramids.

In 2013, I achieved a very interesting result, which might prove a possible relationship between the Hermetic Emerald Tablets and the Giza Plateau. Something happened quite by chance during my archaeological campaign at the Sphinx and its temples.
Map of the Giza Plateau
(via author)
During a moment of peace, in the shadow of the Valley Temple, I observed a Giza map taken from above, thinking that each pyramid looked like a microcosm, as the satellite pyramids, fences, temples and other constructions characterize each one. Considering the pyramids altogether, I perceived an order of factors making them an independent form of architectural expression.
In fact, pyramids, seen from above, look like three very large stylus-wedges embedded in the ground. Their very special shape enlightened me, suggesting an intriguing hypothesis. Just out of curiosity, I traced some guidelines starting from the corners of the major pyramids, toward the center of the monuments, following the satellite pyramids’ orientation. Then I drew the same lines for the satellite pyramids, according to their cardinal direction.
Therefore, I obtained the following image.
Pyramids look like enormous wedges.

Ancient Scripts Tell a Tale
It is curious to observe how a very easy geometric exercise might instill a deep doubt, challenging the foundation of humankind’s history and the origins of modern societies. In fact, to detect the possible existence of cuneiform writing in the land of hieroglyphics can be considered a crazy idea. As presently known, academic considerations about Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations story are very precise; in fact, they assume that during their time the two cultures had never been in contact.
With this in mind, I should have given up my curiosity; however, I wanted to listen to my own instincts because I found the possible connection between pyramids and cuneiform writing very compelling.
Cuneiform alphabet and their geometric forms, and possible relationship with the Pyramids of Giza.
(Image via author)
A comparison between the pyramids’ geometric forms and cuneiform writing is possible by analyzing the Sumerian alphabet, containing the symbols of each letter.
Sometimes, you begin the game for fun, but during the conduct of the pastime, you feel that something is changing, a realization is coming, and you are enchanted. I felt those same emotions, analyzing results of my ‘game’ that over time revealed themselves.
The possible coincidence slowly became something different, perhaps a detailed concept. Despite the fact that I was confident that scholars’ theories were well anchored, in my core something pushed me to improve a hypothesis never examined before. Observing the following image, it is astonishing to note the unbelievable correlation between some Sumerian letters and the signs I obtained while drawing the lines at the pyramids base.
For example, Mycerinus Pyramid (Pyramid of Menkaure, the smallest of the three main Giza Pyramids and at the bottom of the map) – with a triangle projection towards its satellite pyramids – has a geometrical form very similar to the cuneiform letter for “G”; i.e. a wedge downward. Equally, I can state that Mycerinus’ satellite pyramids look like the cuneiform letter for “L”, having three wedges downward.

I followed the same procedure for all pyramids of Giza. Khafre’s Pyramid, for example, (the second-largest of the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids, and in the middle of the map) has a little peculiarity, because of the position of its satellite pyramid, very close to the major monument. It is a very unusual architectural technique, compared to the other pyramidal complexes, showing the precise builders’ will to meld the monuments into having a single and homogeneous design. As result of this, the graphic sign is very similar to the Sumerian letter for “Z”.
Finally, the Great Pyramid (the largest of the plateau and at the top of the map) and its satellites give very exciting symbols, perfectly connected to cuneiform letters, i.e. to the letter “T” as a cuneiform towards the right side, and to the letter “H”, characterized by three cuneiform symbols towards right side.
Therefore, I obtained the following sequence:
GL – Z- TH
Originally, cuneiform writing was inscribed vertically, and in the event of more lines, they were aligned from right to left. It is interesting to note that pyramid position on the Giza Plateau develops in accordance with a vertical orientation – from the highest place, i.e. the Great Pyramid, until the lowest, i.e. the Mycerinus Pyramid – and in different lines. Moreover, as the Sumerian writing was characterized for a lack of vowels, so is for the geometrical symbols obtained by the pyramids.
Letters sequenced from West to East, observing the pyramids from South.

So far, we have observed some technical characteristics of the Sumerian writing and its homogeneity with symbols coming from graphics processing of the Giza buildings. Now, let us look to the complete sentence, with vowels, searching for a possible meaning of the ancient message:
GaL Zu TeHu
Finding meaning in the message.
(Image via author)
The meaning of the message is: TeHu the Great Wise
It is very clear that the word TeHu refers to a proper noun, very probably to the designer of the Giza Project.
To unveil the name, I studied the Egyptian Book of Dead (as translated by Wallis Bydge and also Boris de Rachewiltz) where the name of TeHu refers to Thoth. In fact, one of the Egyptian words indicating the Ibis is Tekh, which sounds like the name TeHu; that word refers to the Moon as Measurer of the Time, and that is why Egyptians depict Thoth as Ibis.
Thoth is often depicted as an Ibis. Egypt, Late Period, 712-332 B.C.
The analysis is very fascinating, but proposes a series of questions:
1) The message indicates that Thoth was the designer of Giza, as reported in the Emerald Tablets. Does it mean that the Book of Thoth really exists?
2) If the Sumerian correlation with the monuments has a scientific validity, the question is why, in the distant past of Egypt, did the population use the Sumerian writing?
When one studies the origins of cuneiform writing, we find that archaeologists date it to 3500 BC. Nevertheless, it’s very interesting that when the writing appeared it was characterized by an extraordinary complexity, consisting of over a thousand phonetic symbols. Over time, the writing had a rationalization process and it reduced to hundreds of symbols. So, we can suppose that Sumerian writing was born in a very full form, and experienced a process apart from all other writing forms which display real signs of evolution. Only cuneiform is considerably convoluted – or, as archaeologists suggest, “rationalized” – as if it followed its founders’ decline.
Can we argue that the Sumerian was the language used by the ancient Gods? Can we state that Middle Eastern and Egyptian cultures, during the pre-dynastic age, were influenced by an ancient and unknown Civilization?
Sumerian inscription in monumental archaic style, c. 26th century BC
According to historians, due its geography, Egypt was isolated from the outside world until the First Intermediate Period, around 2000 BC—without experiencing any kind of influence from other civilizations. Therefore, the possible ‘corruption’ could have happened a long time before the pre-dynastic age. Furthermore, one of the most interesting pieces of evidence could be the numbers of Egyptians gods that are very similar to the Sumerians ones. Indeed, the story of the Sumerian Gods is very similar to the Egyptian Neteru, and the great part of religious traditions of eastern civilizations.
An unknown civilization seems to have bequeathed symbols we can find everywhere around the planet; for example, the winged sun, or caduceus, even the gods who have different names but similar functions. It is possible that this civilization could have inspired the Sumerian and Egyptian cultures, uncontacted, and likewise shared many symbols and divinities. It is undeniable that the two cultures originated from a “matrix” which lived in the distant past.
If Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations have deep cultural and religious correlations, it may mean they were generated by a lost civilization, maybe the same who built pyramids all around the planet.
The Legendary Emerald Tablets
Lastly, did the Emerald Tablets really exist? Maybe we will never have a confirmation, but it is thrilling to show the relationship between the god Thoth and the Giza Plateau, as the result of an easy geometrical game, which gave an unexpected answer to one of the most fascinating mysteries of the past. It is also interesting to suppose that the Sumerian writing system offered a Hermetic link with the Ancient Egyptians, which was historically never detected, but clear in my proposal.
All these indications can be considered very important clues and may be regarded as the starting point to understanding the scientific meaning of the pyramids and the Knowledge of which they are keeper.

GRAVITY Measures Environs of a Massive Black Hole Outside the Milky Way
GRAVITY Measures Environs of a Massive Black Hole Outside the Milky Way

Discovery is the first detailed observation of the environs of a massive black hole outside the Milky Way, say researchers from the GRAVITY group.
In 1963, astronomer Maarten Schmidt identified the first quasi-stellar object or “quasar,” an extremely bright but distant object. He found the single quasar, the active nucleus of a far-away galaxy known to astronomers as 3C 273, to be 100 times more luminous than all the stars in our Milky Way combined.
Now, the GRAVITY international team of astronomers, including Prof. Hagai Netzer of Tel Aviv University’s School of Physics and Astronomy, have concluded that gas clouds rapidly moving around a central black hole form the very heart of this quasar. The results of the new research were published in Nature on November 29.
The first measurement of the mass of the black hole inside 3C 273, using an older method, was conducted at the TAU’s Florence and George Wise Observatory in 2000, as part of PhD research conducted by TAU’s Dr. Shai Kaspi, then a student in Prof. Netzer’s group. This result has now been corroborated by GRAVITY’s observations.
The research is the first detailed observation outside of our galaxy of gas clouds whirling around a central black hole. According to the researchers, GRAVITY’s measurements will become the benchmark for measuring black hole masses in thousands of other quasars.
Taking a closer look at a black hole
The GRAVITY instrument, situated in Paranal, Chile, has unprecedented capabilities. It combines the collective area of four telescopes to form a virtual telescope, called an interferometer, 130 meters across. The instrument can detect distant astronomical objects at an extremely high resolution.
“Quasars are among the most distant astronomical objects that can be observed,” Prof. Netzer says. “They also play a fundamental role in the history of the universe, as their evolution is intricately tied to galaxy growth. While almost all large galaxies harbor a massive black hole at their centers, so far only one in our Milky Way has been accessible for such detailed studies.”
“GRAVITY allowed us to resolve, for the first time ever, the motion of gas clouds around a central black hole,” says Eckhard Sturm of Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), who co-led the research for the study. “Our observations can follow the motion of the gas and reveal that the clouds do whirl around the central black hole.”
So far, such observations had not been possible due to the small angular size of a quasar’s inner region — roughly the size of our solar system, but some 2.5 billion light years distant from us.
“Broad emission lines created by gas in the vicinity of the black hole are observational hallmarks of quasars. Until now, the distance of the gas from the black hole, and occasionally the pattern of the motion, could only be measured by an older method that made use of light variations in the quasars,” Prof. Netzer says. “With the GRAVITY instrument, we can distinguish structures at the level of 10 micro-arc seconds, which corresponds to observing, for example, a 1-Euro coin on the Moon.”
“Information about the motion and distance of the gas immediately around the black hole is crucial to measuring the mass of the black hole,” explains Jason Dexter, also of MPE, who co-led the research. “For the first time, the old method was tested experimentally and passed its test with flying colors, confirming previous estimates of about 300 million solar masses for the black hole.”
“This is the first time that we can study the immediate environs of a massive black hole outside our home galaxy, the Milky Way,” concludes Reinhard Genzel, head of the infrared research group at MPE. “Black holes are intriguing objects, allowing us to probe physics under extreme conditions — and with GRAVITY we can now probe them both near and far.”

NASA has selected the first batch ofU.S. companiesto join the agency on its journey to its next destination, the moon, which NASA wants to explorein order to prepareto go on to Mars.
During a public event held today (Nov. 29), the agency unveiled nine new partners that will be designing and buildinglunar landersaimed at facilitating scientific exploration of the moon. In addition to the specific companies chosen, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine also announced that the program running those contracts — the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program — is now part of the science section of NASA's bureaucracy, not the human exploration section.
The general idea is that these companies will be able to compete for contracts to deliver NASA science experiments to the surface of the moon by flying lunar landers on rocket launches purchased from other commercial space companies. Those individual contracts would substitute for NASA needing to build those capacities itself. [Building Apollo: Photos from Moonshot History]
But under this approach, NASA won't be alone in hiring these companies — the agency hopes to spur development that the commercial sector can also utilize. "We want to be first customers, not only customers," Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA's head of the science mission directorate, said during the event.
The agency did not provide any details about the choices beyond what the selected companies were: Astrobotic Technology Inc., Deep Space Systems, Draper, Firefly Aerospace Inc., Intuitive Machines LLC, Lockheed Martin Space, Masten Space Systems, Inc., Moon Express and Orbit Beyond
When asked what information companies had to provide in order to participate in the program and how NASA chose the winners, Zurbuchen did not go into specifics. "We went with a really broad set of criteria," he said, adding that those criteria "ask questions about the overall liability of the companies, their likelihood to be able to deliver these services, but we did not go in very deep depth relative to the technical capability."
All told, NASA is planning for the Commercial Lunar Payload Services program as a whole to encompass contracts totalling up to $2.6 billion over the course of 10 years, although NASA spokesperson Cheryl Warner wrote in an email to Space.com that each company will receive at least $25,000 through the program, with the value of individual contracts varying in accordance with the service the company will provide.
"These nine companies will bid on and be paid through task orders issued by NASA starting in the near future," Warner wrote. (The agency has said that it intends for the first flight to occur next year.) "Services they provide NASA will cover payload integration and operations, launch and landing on the Moon."
NASA has been working to encourage private interest in the moon as a way to reduce the agency's own costs as it looks to return to human exploration, first at the moon and then at Mars. That goal is meant to facilitate NASA's timeline of landing humans on the moon during the 2020s.
WETENSCHAPWetenschappers sturen vermoedelijk maandagavond vanuit California een raket de ruimte in met aan boord de ‘tomatensatelliet’ Eu:Cropis. Daarmee willen ze uitzoeken of het mogelijk is om voedsel te kweken op andere planeten.
Een Falcon 9-raket van het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbedrijf SpaceX zou de Eu:Cropis-satelliet eigenlijk vorige week woensdag al de ruimte inschieten, maar dat werd toen uitgesteld naar zondagavond/vanavond. Maar ook die lancering gaat nu niet door, meldt het Duitse Centrum voor Lucht- en Ruimtevaart DLR. Technici hebben meer werk aan de draagraket dan initieel gepland, klinkt het.
Mars
De kleine Eu:Cropis-satelliet heeft tomatenzaadjes en een soort serre aan boord, waarin wetenschappers willen proberen om tomaten te laten groeien in een zwaartekracht die overeenstemt met die op de maan en Mars. Bedoeling is om te zien of mensen ooit eigen voedsel zouden kunnen kweken op andere planeten, maar ook om astronauten die zich nu al in de ruimte begeven in de toekomst van vers voedsel te kunnen voorzien.
De raket wordt vanuit de Amerikaanse staat Californië de ruimte ingeschoten. De lancering is nu vermoedelijk voor maandagavond.
WETENSCHAP Een Ariane 5-draagraket lanceert dinsdag twee satellieten vanop de lanceerbasis bij Kourou in Frans-Guyana. Het gaat om een telecommunicatiesatelliet voor India en een weersatelliet voor Zuid-Korea.
De lancering is voorzien voor dinsdag tussen 21.37 uur en 22.53 uur Belgische tijd. Als alles goed verloopt, moeten de satellieten zich na 34 minuten loskoppelen van de draagraket.

Spectaculaire vuurbol verlicht hemel boven verschillende Europese landen - HLN.be
Spectaculaire vuurbol verlicht hemel boven verschillende Europese landen - HLN.be
WEERNIEUWS Webcams hebben een mooi natuurfenomeen vastgelegd. Een gigantische vuurbol veroorzaakte een lichtflits die vanuit verschillende landen in Europa zichtbaar was. Dat duurde slechts enkele seconden, maar het levert prachtige beelden op.
De lichtflits was donderdagochtend omstreeks 5.10 uur te zien vanuit plaatsen in Oostenrijk, Zwitserland, Duitsland, Italië, Slovenië, Hongarije, Slovakije en Kroatië. Verschillende camera’s konden het spektakel vastleggen. In de Alpen leverde de krachtige lichtflits in combinatie met de bergen, maan en sneeuw wondermooie plaatjes op.
Wellicht ging het om een deeltje dat is losgekomen van een meteoroïde of planetoïde. Als zo’n stukje puin vanuit de ruimte in de atmosfeer terechtkomt, wordt het materiaal sterk afgeremd en zeer heet. Daardoor ontstaat een vuurbol.
Dit zijn enkele van de beelden van webcams uit Duitsland, Oostenrijk en Hongarije.

EEN VREEMDE KRACHT LIJKT DE AARDE UITEEN TE TREKKEN ( VIDEO )
EEN VREEMDE KRACHT LIJKT DE AARDE UITEEN TE TREKKEN ( VIDEO )
Wij denken dat we op een planeet wonen die vrij stabiel is en dat wij mensen in staat zijn om de temperatuur op aarde te controleren.
Ondertussen staat de wetenschap voor een raadsel bij de vreemde seismische golven die zich voor doen en lijkt de aarde letterlijk uit elkaar te scheuren.
Terwijl de bevolking wordt afgeleid door van alles en nog wat, gebeuren er dingen die echt van groot belang zijn voor de mensheid en waar alle aandacht op gericht zou horen te zijn.
We zien dan gisteren een bericht voorbij komen over vreemde onverklaarbare seismische golven die de wereld over gingen en waarvan niemand weet waar ze vandaan komen.
Meetstations van bevingen in de Indische Oceaan pikten drie weken geleden een signaal op van seismische golven die vanaf Madagaskar tot aan Chili, Nieuw-Zeeland en Canada reikten. Wetenschappers gissen naar de oorzaak van de seismische activiteit, meldt The Daily Mail. Het centrum van de mysterieuze activiteit ligt voor de kust van het eiland Mayotte, naast Madagaskar.
De seismische golven hielden twintig minuten aan, zonder dat veel mensen het konden merken, en zijn vergelijkbaar met die van na een grote aardbeving. Vreemd genoeg heeft een dergelijke aardbeving in de regio al maanden niet meer plaatsgevonden. Bovendien hadden de trillingen een opvallend zeldzame frequentie – bijna muzikaal, schrijft het Australische News.com. Mogelijke verklaringen voor de raadselachtige trillingen is een onontdekte meteoriet of een onderzeese vulkaanuitbarsting. Ook wordt op internet gespeculeerd over een mogelijke nucleaire test. Een groep wetenschappers is nu van plan de regio voor de Oost-Afrikaanse kust na te pluizen om het mysterieuze fenomeen te verklaren.
Er worden vervolgens een aantal wilde theorieën rondgestrooid zoals meteorieten of een nucleaire test, maar in werkelijkheid heeft men geen flauw idee wat dit soort golven veroorzaakt.
Een samenwerkingsverband van meteorologen die gebruikmaken van satellietbeelden (CIMSS) hebben voor de derde keer op rij een vreemde ontdekking gedaan. Vanuit het gebied waarover men zegt dat er zich op Antarctica piramides bevinden, komt een sterke mysterieuze microgolf die zich langs de Zuid Amerikaanse kust verplaatst.
En nu, voor de derde keer in korte tijd, ontdekte men een derde mysterieuze (energie)golf op 26 mei 2017.
Niet alleen neemt de frequentie tussen de golven toe, ze volgen elkaar sneller op, maar ook iedere keer schijnt het afkomstig te zijn uit hetzelfde gebied op Antarctica.
Het zijn niet alleen seismische of microgolven die door iets worden veroorzaakt, er is ook iets dat er zo langzamerhand voor zorgt dat de aarde letterlijk uit elkaar wordt gescheurd.
De volgende afbeeldingen zijn afkomstig van Nancy Lieder en laten zien hoe in verschillende delen van de wereld het lijkt alsof de aarde letterlijk uit elkaar wordt gescheurd. Een vreemde mysterieuze kracht die ervoor zorgt dat de eens zo stabiele planeet dat niet meer is.
Ook in Alaska was het gisteren raak met een aardbeving van 7 op de schaal van Richter. Ook in de volgende video die gemaakt is net na de beving zie je scenes die laten zien dat de aarde uit elkaar getrokken lijkt te worden.

It Came Out of Nowhere and Stopped by the Blimp! | Deep Purple Sky and Much More! (Video)
Strange shenanigans in the sky around this Blimp situation. A very interesting video no doubt about it worth checking out. So many possibilities as what this can be. Military or alien invasion? =) If it were alien invasion I think we’d already be gone at this point.
Mr MBB333 why can’t drone fly close , is it legal or a mechanical physical reason ? Thanks. Ned Pod
A blimp, or non-rigid airship, is an airship (dirigible) or barrage balloon without an internal structural framework or a keel.
What do you think about this video? Let us know in the comments and thanks for stopping by.
While businesses in the U.S. struggle to decide the future of autonomous cars and how (or if) the public will receive and use them (attacking driverless vehicles is not a good sign; autonomous cars in fatal accidents is even worse), China announced it is building an entire autonomous, robots-only city … under the ocean … as a port and laboratory for unmanned submarines … and it’s named after Hades, the mythological king of the underworld. Are you worried yet?
“It is as challenging as building a colony on another planet for robotic residents with artificial intelligence. The technology can change the world.”
Or take it over? South China Morning Post quotes an unnamed scientist who has a rosy view of the Hadal zone project – a robotic Atlantis in the deepest trench of the South China Sea. It’s pictured as an underwater space station with multiple platforms and docks for subsea drones. It’s projected to cost Chinese taxpayers just 1.1 billion yuan (US$160 million), with much of the funding going to developing materials that can withstand the pressure at that depth … not to mention the volcanoes.
If you’re going to build the world’s first and deepest autonomous Atlantis, you might as well pick the worst place and most dangerous place imaginable – the Manila Trench in the South China Sea where, at a depth of 5,400 meters, the southeastern part of Eurasian plate meets the Pacific plate and create sizeable underwater volcanoes and earthquakes that could affect large parts of the surface with quakes and tsunamis. Throw in the fact that the South China Sea is a politically volatile area causing disturbances between the governments and militaries of China and the Philippines, and you have to wonder what other reasons may have prompted China to pick this area … and why it will be unmanned.
“China and the Philippines should sit down and discuss it. A tsunami [warning] is a big selling point. Data collected by the station would benefit all countries in the region. It could save many lives.”
Professor Yan Pin, a researcher at the Key Laboratory of Ocean and Marginal Sea Geology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Guangzhou, pushes the ideas that this will primarily be an earthquake and tsunami warning station and the data it collects will be shared with the Philippines and other countries. China’s President Xi Jinping, in a speech designed to inspire the engineers working on the project, called it a “march into the ocean to accelerate the build-up of maritime power.” Dr Du Qinghai, an associate researcher at the Hadal Science and Technology Research Centre at Shanghai Ocean University who is not involved with the project, is blunter.
“No other country has done this before. The project will make China stronger, more advanced. It will boost the material sciences, stimulate innovation and make Chinese manufacturing more competitive. It will make China a world leader in some critical areas.”
China is building an autonomous Atlantis. Its drive for technical superiority and willingness to spend money on may feel threatening but it is also impressive. Meanwhile, the U.S. is trying to get excited about automatic parallel parking and Americans are going to movies about Aquaman.
Archaeologists have discovered an ancient mask that was used during the Neolithic period (New Stone Age). The 9,000-year-old mask was found just a few months ago and is currently being examined by experts of the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Geological Survey of Israel. The mask was traced to an archaeological site in the southern part of Har Hevron in the Pnei Hever region.
Ronit Lupu of the IAA Antiquities Theft Prevention Unit said, “The mask is a unique finding in the archaeological world. It is even more unusual that we know which site it came from. The fact that we have information regarding the specific place in which it was discovered makes this mask more important than most other masks from this period that we currently know of.”
The mask was made from pinkish-yellow limestone and was made to look like a human face. It also had drilled holes along the edge of the mask where it could be tied to a person’s face or even to a pole for others to view it. Lupu went on to say, “Discovering a mask made of stone, at such a high level of finish, is very exciting. The stone has been completely smoothed over and the features are perfect and symmetrical, even delineating cheek bones. It has an impressive nose and a mouth with distinct teeth.”

The mask was used for ancestor worship during that time. “It was part of the ritual and retention of family heritage that was accepted at the time,” Lupu explained. He continued by saying, “Stone masks, such as the one from Pnei Hever, are similar in size to the human face, which is why scholars tend to connect them with such worship.”
There have been a total of fifteen masks found in relation to that time period. Because two of those fifteen masks were found in an archaeological context, researchers know exactly where they originated from and that means they can study the site. The other thirteen masks are part of private collections around the world.
Since the mask was found in Pnei Hever, it is believed that the southern Hebron Hills (Judean Desert area) was a hot spot for creating stone masks, as well as using them for rituals during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.
Although this ancient mask was used for rituals, it looks more like something Jason wore in the Friday the 13th horror movies. Or even the first ever goalie masks that hockey players wore. Nevertheless, it’s one creepy, yet incredible discovery.
Cigar-Shaped UFO hanging in the sky over Spike Island, Cork, Ireland before it speeds away
Cigar-Shaped UFO hanging in the sky over Spike Island, Cork, Ireland before it speeds away
On November 26, 2018 the witness has filmed a cigar-shaped UFO at the moment he was driving near Spike Island, Cork in Ireland.
This sighting of an unidentified flying object comes several weeks after several pilots of commercial aircraft had a close encounter with a bright UFO off the south-west coast of Ireland.
The video shows the cigar-shaped UFO that seemingly hanging in the sky over the Island before it suddenly speeds away at a tremendous speed.

Watch the following video and tell us your opinion:
A security guard claims to have spotted a "massive" UFO hovering over North Wales.
Jon Waring spotted a "crystal shape object" hovering overCaerwysat around 6am on Tuesday, November 27 while he was at work.
The ex-soldier and former light aircraft pilot from Towyn, shared pictures and a video of the "bright light" that he says quickly disappeared when the sun came up after 7am.
He described the UFO that was near an illuminated telecommunication tower as being a "quarter of the size of the moon".
Jon, who has been flying light aircraft for more than a decade, said he was "one million percent" certain it was not an aircraft.
"I've never seen anything like it and I did 12 years in the army," he said. "I've no idea what it was, I wouldn't even like to take a guess.
"It was just a massive bright light, like a crystal shape. The moon was to the west, and this was to the east.
'A pure bright white light'
"I've been a pilot myself for 11 years and it's nothing like I've ever seen before. It was a pure bright white light that was lit up all around."
Jon said the object "didn't budge" or even alter position until the sky became light.
He added: "It just disappeared when it started to go light. Whoever was out at the time would definitely have seen it, it was hard to miss it.
"I got some pictures and filmed it on my phone, but they don't do it justice at all.
"I've always been very open minded to that kind of thing, but I have no idea what it was."
UFO investigator Russ Kellett who has spent decades looking into the Berwyn Mountains mystery, said he received a report of a similar object in the same area on Sunday.
'I can't believe it'
"I can't believe it. On Sunday, I got a call from a lady in the Flintshire area who said she'd seen a diamond shape object flying over the area early in the morning.
"She said she was looking out of her window and when she looked up, she said she saw something glistening. She said it was very big and that it was towards the coast, looking towards Llandudno way.
"She described it as a very bright glowing diamond, with a tint of colour to it. She was taken aback by it, she said she'd never seen anything like it before."
Mr Kellett who said there is an "ongoing wave of reports" from North Wales at the moment added some believe the diamond shape UFO's are "two flying triangles linked together".
"I've heard of them before, but they are not as popular and aren't sighted as often as other objects," he said.
Earlier this month, he claims a man from North Wales reported witnessing an unidentified object with "bright lights" flying very quickly over Llandudno from the Irish Sea early in the morning.
He says another man, from Ireland, also contacted him with an identical report following a similar experience on the same day.
It comes after the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) is investigating claims of bright lights and UFOs off the south-west coast of Ireland.
A British Airways pilot flying from the Canadian city of Montreal to Heathrow contacted Shannon air traffic control shortly before 7am on November 9 asking if there were military exercises in the area.
The pilot had reported seeing a "very bright light" that was moving very fast. The air traffic controller confirmed there were no such exercises.
The Civil Aviation Authority told the Daily Post they were not aware of any reports of UFOs in the North Wales area.
The MoD who were also contacted for comment say it stopped taking reports of UFO sightings 10 years ago.
Police officer Lonnie Zamora was on patrol on Friday, April 24, 1964, at about 5:50 p.m. in the outskirts of his jurisdiction in Socorro County, New Mexico, when he witnessed the approach of an egg-shaped craft where he was driving. The craft was spewing great amounts of flames just before it landed in the desert. The UFO sighting and landing event was thoroughly investigated back in the day by the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, the FBI and various civilian groups. To this day, it’s a famous event in UFO history.
In recent years the case was reopened and carefully re-examined by Virginia’s chief Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) investigator Ben Moss and fellow investigator Tony Angiola. They mounted their project in 2014 after meeting Ray Stanford, the original National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) investigator at Socorro in 1964. Ben and Tony’s forthcoming book on their investigation is still a work in progress, and I suspect it’s going to be eye-opening.
What I find fascinating is the fact that egg-shaped UFOs are exceedingly rare! Between 2001 and 2017, all 50 states and Washington, D.C., logged at least one sighting of the egg-shaped UFOs. But the total for the period was a measly 1,263 reported sightings, barely 1 percent of the 139,876 national all-types sighting reports for the period.
With such small national numbers, is it any wonder that only 583 counties of 3,242 nationwide reported sightings, or about 18 percent of the nation’s total counties. In terms of egg UFOs sighting reports at the local level, only 906 towns and cities or 6 percent reported egg UFOs of the 15,295 municipalities listed in our data base. Nationally, there are 16,519 local municipalities or 92 percent are represented in our data base.
As can be seen by the chart, egg UFOs have had a minimum of sightings in 2003 and a maximum of sightings in 2017, with an average of about 74 yearly. With such tiny sighting report numbers, some readers may surmise, what’s the big deal? So please make note of the peak years and the increasing sighting volumes: 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014 and 2017.
Many social media readers have asked me to “show them a trend.” OK, note the black line suggesting more than a 300 percent increase of these egg UFO sightings in the past 17 years. It’s something to think about, especially when you consider that of 28 of the known UFO shape categories, 25 are in steep decline these past three years.
That said, Saturn, Teardrop and Egg are on a steep increase.
Finally, with regard to New Mexico, where the Socorro event took place. In the 17 years of my study; New Mexico had 1,707 total UFO sighting reports representing all known UFO shapes. During that same period the state only had only 20 egg UFO reports. These egg UFO sightings were in the following counties: Bernalillo, 5; McKinley, 3; Dona Ana, 3; Santa Fe, 3; Chaves, 2; Luna, 1; Catron, 1; Rio Arriba, 1; San Juan, 1.

Open Minds UFO Radio: Jeremy Corbell is an investigative filmmaker and runs the websiteExtraordinaryBeleifs.com. Many of his projects, including his most recent, focus on the paranormal and UFOs. In September, Corbell released his film Hunt for the Skinwalker based off of the 2005 book of the same the same name. Much of this film included archival footage and reports from Las Vegas reporter George Knapp, who along with scientist Colm Kelleher, author the Skinwalker book. However, the subject of this episode is Corbell’s latest project based on Bob Lazar, the alleged whistleblower whose claims made Area 51 famous. The film is titled Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers, and is set to premiere on December 3, 2018.
Lazar claims that he worked at a secret underground lab called S-4 near Papoose Lake, just south of Area 51. Everyday he would fly into Area 51 and be bused to S-4. At this base, he says he worked back-engineering advanced propulsions systems on a craft he says could only have been made by alien technology. In this episode, Corbell discusses how the film came about and his approach to tackling the controversial subject.
"At the beginning, the supra-regional topography of the landing site is shown from various perspectives within a radius of a few hundred kilometers," officials with the German Aerospace Center, known by its German acronym DLR, said in a statement Monday describing the video. [NASA's InSight Mars Lander: Full Coverage]
"The first scene shows the approach to the approximately 13-kilometer-high [8 miles] Elysium Mons volcano, from north to south," the officials added. "This is followed by a loop and flight over Elysium Planitia, from southeast to northwest with a view of the landing ellipse."
Researchers created the new animation using a digital terrain model, which incorporated image data gathered by DLR's High Resolution Stereo Camera, which flies aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter. Mars Express has been studying the Red Planet from above since 2003.
Elysium Planitia is flat and boring, but that's no problem for InSight; the lander will investigate the Martian interior, so mission team members weren't looking for a place with interesting surface features. Indeed, complex terrain was something to be avoided, because it could make a safe touchdown more difficult.
InSight carries two main science instruments: a burrowing heat probe provided by DLR and a suite of seismometers built by a consortium led by France's national space agency, CNES. The data gathered by this gear over the next two Earth years will reveal a great deal about Mars' internal structure and composition, NASA officials have said.
In addition, the InSight team will track the lander's position carefully using the craft's communications equipment. This work will tell scientists how much Mars' axis of rotation wobbles, which in turn will shed considerable light on Mars' core.
Taken together, this information should help researchers better understand how rocky planets in general form and evolve, InSight team members have said.
The $850 million InSight mission launched on May 5, along with two fly-along cubesats called MarCO-A and MarCO-B, which beamed data from the lander home to Earth during Monday's touchdown.
InSight will use its robotic arm to place both the heat probe and the seismometer suite directly on the Martian surface. The mission team won't be ready to do this for another two to three months, after they've studied InSight's environs and practiced the deployments using a testbed lander at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"InSight" is short for "Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport."
Mike Wall's book about the search for alien life, "Out There" (Grand Central Publishing, 2018; illustrated by Karl Tate) is out now.
Astrophysicists have measured all the photons ever emitted by the trillions and trillions of stars forged during the Universe’s 13.7-billion-long history. Unpeeling the history of star formation is a major breakthrough with ramifications in other areas of research, such as galactic evolution or the search for dark matter. Ultimately, work like this brings scientists closer to understanding the most fundamental processes, all the way back to the Big Bang.

Scientists estimate that there are about two trillion galaxies, which hold a trillion-trillion stars. In order to measure how much starlight has been emitted, Marco Ajello and colleagues at the Clemson College of Science turned to data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Launched in 2008, the Fermi Telescope has so far provided invaluable information pertaining to gamma rays (the most energetic form ofelectromagnetic radiation) and their interaction with the extragalactic background light (EBL) — a ‘cosmic fog’ composed of all the ultraviolet, visible and infrared light emitted by stars or from dust in their vicinity.
The results suggest that the total number of photons that have been emitted into space by stars is about 4×1084 — that’s 4 followed by 84 zeroes. It’s a staggering number beyond our comprehension, but one that will help scientists greatly to understand how stars and galaxies evolve.
“From data collected by the Fermi telescope, we were able to measure the entire amount of starlight ever emitted. This has never been done before,” said Ajello, who is lead author of the paper. “Most of this light is emitted by stars that live in galaxies. And so, this has allowed us to better understand the stellar-evolution process and gain captivating insights into how the universe produced its luminous content.”
Despite the huge number of photons out there, the Universe is largely dim due to its sheer vastness. According to the researchers, starlight other than that coming from our own and Milky Way is as dim as a 60-watt light bulb viewed from 2.5 miles away.
The study hinged on observations of energetic particles emitted by blazars, which are galaxies with supermassive black holes that are capable of releasing collimated jets of electromagnetic radiation. When such jets happen to be directly pointed at Earth, our instruments are able to detect their source even from billions of light-years away. Gamma rays produced by the jets interact with the cosmic fog, producing an imprint that astrophysicists can use to measure the fog’s density. What’s more, this density can be measured for various times in the history of the universe.
“Gamma-ray photons traveling through a fog of starlight have a large probability of being absorbed,” said Ajello, an assistant professor in the department of physics and astronomy. “By measuring how many photons have been absorbed, we were able to measure how thick the fog was and also measure, as a function of time, how much light there was in the entire range of wavelengths.”

By directly measuring the density of this cosmic fog, the authors of the new study were able to eliminate the need to estimate light emissions by far-away galaxies. In total, 739 blazars were included in the study.
“By using blazars at different distances from us, we measured the total starlight at different time periods,” said postdoctoral fellow Vaidehi Paliya. “We measured the total starlight of each epoch—one billion years ago, two billion years ago, six billion years ago, etc. – all the way back to when stars were first formed. This allowed us to reconstruct the EBL and determine the star-formation history of the universe in a more effective manner than had been achieved before.”
“Scientists have tried to measure the EBL for a long time. However, very bright foregrounds like the zodiacal light (which is light scattered by dust in the solar system) rendered this measurement very challenging,” said co-author Abhishek Desai, a graduate research assistant in the department of physics and astronomy. “Our technique is insensitive to any foreground and thus overcame these difficulties all at once.”
According to the study’s results, star formation peaked around 11 billion years ago — but it is still going strong. The Milky Way adds seven new stars every year, for instance.
Understanding star formation is important for astronomy research. For instance, this analysis will enable research in the future to target the earliest days of stellar evolution, using the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, which should come online in 2021. And because the measurement is very sensitive to the expansion of the Universe, Ajello believes that their data can be used to measure the Hubble Constant more precisely.
“The first billion years of our universe’s history are a very interesting epoch that has not yet been probed by current satellites,” Ajello said in a statement. “Our measurement allows us to peek inside it. Perhaps one day we will find a way to look all the way back to the Big Bang. This is our ultimate goal.”
The findings were reported in the journal Science.
A new crop circle was recently discovered in the UK on July 8th, 2018. It was the exact depiction of the chemical weapons warning symbol.
Reflect On:
Does this serve as a message for us to put down the chemical and nuclear weapons for good? Do we need to be using these weapons? This may also cause us to consider the poisoning of our planet in other ways.
A new crop circle was recently discovered on July 8th in Coneybury Hill, Nr Stonehenge, Wiltshire. This circle is the exact same as the chemical weapons warning symbol.
Interestingly this crop circle was found shortly after the death of Dawn Sturgess who had come into contact with a deadly nerve agent.
While we can’t know for sure, this crop circle certainly appears to be a message to humanity about the dangers of chemical weapons and the catastrophic damage they can cause, regardless of who you believe made it. Perhaps this circle symbolizes the fact that these weapons have no place in our world, and it’s time we got rid of them, for good.
Check out some amazing drone footage of this newly discovered crop circle below.
ET Intervention?
It is not all that surprising to see this message show up in a crop circle, as in the past we have seen deliberate ET intervention when nuclear weapons would have otherwise been used. We have covered this topic before, and the following is an excerpt from an older article,
One of many previously classified reports -out of the thousands in existence -that is now available in the public domain is the intrusion at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, on August 24, 1966. Air Force personnel were concerned about a light in the sky. A team went to check it out and confirmed the object, then saw a second white object while doing so. The object was tracked on radar and moved vertical several times; each time it descended, an air force officer in charge of a missile crew found his radio transmission interrupted by static. The object eventually descended to ground level, and the Air Force sent a team to check it out. They saw the object either on the ground or hovering very low. According to the official report:
“When the team was about ten miles from the landing site, static disrupted radio contact with them. Five to eight minutes later, the glow diminished, and the UFO took off. Another UFO was visually sighted and confirmed by radar. The one that was first sighted passed beneath the second. Radar also confirmed this. The first made for altitude toward the north, and the second seemed to disappear with the glow of red.”
Here are a couple of more articles that go into greater detail regarding the connections between UFO’s and nuclear missiles:
It seems that these extraterrestrials know just how damaging nuclear weapons can be to our planet, and possibly to our entire solar system. There is information that says that UFO’s have been deactivating nuclear weapons since we created them and started to show up a lot more often when we were testing the atomic bomb. Thankfully, someone or something has our back and is helping to stop us, humanity from making a huge mistake.
As Far As Crop Circles Go, You May Be Interested In These Detailed Articles That Go A Little Deeper Into The Phenomenon
Four months ago, people in a small Madagascar town caught sight of a fireball shooting acrossthe early-evening sky. Its boom was so loud, the ground shook.
A search for pieces of this celestial visitor soon followed. Researchers stitched together eyewitness accounts to help them understand what came down from the heavens on July 27.
This space rock is now called Benenitra, named after the small town in southwestern Madagascar where it landed. Fortunately, Benenitra rock fragments appear to have missed any people or buildings, according to a Nov. 26 statement about the findings.
"The Benenitra meteorite is a new space rock, but it is also a witnessed fall, which makes it part of [a] special group of meteorites," Roger Gibson, a researcher at Wits University in South Africa, said in the statement. "It is part of our collective heritage as a species, planet and Solar System. It fell in a remote area that will henceforth be recognised internationally for the event on the evening of 27 July."
Researchers from the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar and international colleagues began investigating when they first heard about the fall. After news reached Wits graduate student Tim Marais, he collected preliminary eyewitness accounts to confirm the meteor crash. Marais happened to be traveling in the area days after it occurred.
Marais also retrieved rock fragments thought to have separated from the meteorite.
A thin section of one fragment went through microscopic analysis, enabling Gibson and Lewis Ashwal at Wits University to confirm its space origin. Other supporting evidence for the meteorite's provenance came from work done by Matthias Laubenstein at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Italy, who found evidence of recent cosmic ray exposure — meaning the fragment was outside Earth's protective atmosphere as recently as a few months ago.
The Benenitra meteorite comes from the early solar system, according to Wits University officials. Known as a chondrite, this common meteorite contains millimeter-size grains of silicate material preserved from the cloud of dust and gas that surrounded the sun billions of years ago, when the solar system formed.
So the fragments belonged to an ancient meteor. But how does one corroborate testimonies describing the crashing sound?
To find supporting evidence of a significant explosion in the atmosphere above Madagascar on July 27, Andry Ramanantsoa of the Laboratory of Seismology and Infrasound at the University of Antananarivo used infrasound data from seismometers to confirm an "upper atmosphere energy release event" over the town of Benenitra at 7:16 p.m. local time (1716 GMT). The explosion, according to officials, was large enough to cause vibrations in the ground.
New UFO Video Claims to Capture a TR-3B, a Reverse-Engineered Alien Craft
New UFO Video Claims to Capture a TR-3B, a Reverse-Engineered Alien Craft
Chris Mahon
Adapted from Screenshot: YouTube/UFO Today
Outer Places was recently contacted by the folks over at UFO Today, a YouTube channel devoted to videos of supposed alien sightings. Their newest video, titled "Why is the TR3B UFO always surrounded by lightning storms?" claims to show a type of aircraft called a "TR-3B" hovering near a lightning storm. According to them, the video was taken last Thursday (November 22nd) by a man named Allan Diablo.
Here's the video:
So...we've got what appears to be a vaguely triangular shape in the midst of a lightning storm. There seems to be another shape that's just as dark in the distance (to the right), which leads us to believe that the "aircraft" is actually a shadow cast on the clouds. If you're wondering what a TR-3B is (or just want a clearer transcription of what the narrator is saying), here you go:
"The TR-3B is a type of plane that is supposedly re-engineered from an extraterrestrial aircraft that crash landed to Earth. Scientists were able to re-create the technology that is used by extraterrestrials to travel through space. The question remains whether the objects we witness were man-made or are in fact extraterrestrial."
Rumors and sightings of "black triangles" have been going on for years, and have been identified with a supposed experimental spacecraft called the TR-3B Astra, which has never been confirmed as real. Either way, we doubt that the blurry image caught in the video above is an aircraft (or spacecraft) at all. Like previous UFO sightings during lightning storms, it's most likely a product of bad video quality and weird lighting.
