What Are The Human Health Effects Of PCBs? Polychlorinated biphenyls are a group of 209 different chemicals which share a common structure but vary in the number of attached chlorine atoms. An estimated 1.3 million pounds of different types of PCBs were dumped into the Hudson River by General Electric from 1946 until 1977, when they were banned. The international treaty on Persistent Organic Pollutants, drafted by 122 nations in Johannesburg in December 2000, targeted PCBs as one of the `dirty dozen´ chemicals to be phased out worldwide.
PCBs are a probable human carcinogen. The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the Environmental Protection Agency classify PCBs as a probable human carcinogen. The National Toxicology Program has concluded that PCBs are reasonably likely to cause cancer in humans. Studies of PCBs in humans have found increased rates of melanomas, liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancer, and brain cancer, [1] and may be linked to breast cancer. Footnotes. The sumerians are a strange phenomenon in our history. Why talk about the Sumerians on a site which is about aliens and their influence on humans? It's because Sumer and its inhabitants pose many questions, some of which might only be answered by referring to aliens. Sumer: the unusual Before talking more about the aliens, just have a look at the legacy of Sumer and you'll begin to understand the interest for people looking for alien influence on humans...
The Sumerians... invented picture-hieroglyphs which developed into the cuneiform (wedge-shaped) script, the earliest known written language spoke a language which is generally regarded as unique as it is related to no known language family built the first true city states developed the first known codified legal and administrative systems (with jails, courts, and administrative records) invented the wheel were astronomers who first mapped out constellations and the zodiac known later to the Greeks. And that's the key point here. Wouldn't you want to know why? And the aliens...? The Annunaki. The Annunaki. Were they vital to our history?
Are humanity's origins bound up with aliens, specifically, the Annunaki? This might sound crazy, but there seems to be enough evidence to at least bring it into question. Good question! The answer, however, is not always crystal clear. Let's just list some of the things there is broad agreement about first. The records about them appear in Sumeria about 3,000 years ago They came from another planet They were particularly interested in gold They were worshiped as gods They divided into factions as to how to treat mankind Mankind was genetically altered to enable us to perform better for them An interesting list, isn't it?
Actually, the major investigator of these Sumerian records is Zechariah Sitchin. Further, he claims that the Annunaki were on Earth about 450,000 years ago, primarily looking for gold which was very important in their culture, and perhaps for their longevity. Not surprisingly, such advanced beings in ships and with 'magical' technology were viewed as gods. Strange Artifacts, Baghdad Battery. This experiment proved that electric batteries were used some 1,800 years before their modern invention by Alessandro Volta in 1799. It also seems that the use of similar batteries can be safely placed into ancient Egypt, where several objects with traces of electroplated precious metals have been found at different locations.
There are several anomalous finds from other regions, which suggests use of electricity on a grander scale. The Riddle of "Baghdad's batteries" Arran Frood investigates what could have been the very first batteries and how these important archaeological and technological artefacts are now at risk from the impending war in Iraq.
I don't think anyone can say for sure what they were used for, but they may have been batteries because they do work Dr Marjorie Senechal War can destroy more than a people, an army or a leader.

Sumerian Artifacts (38 of 53) UFO - Sumerian Secrets - AOL Video. Iraq. Concerning the Iraq war and its connection to the Sumerian ET culture, here's an extremely important article: An Exopolitical Perspective on the Preemptive War against Iraq Research Study #2 February 3, 2003, www.exopolitics.org © Dr Michael E. Salla We must consider this article was written in February, before the Iraq attack.
Now it is known that loads of the Sumerian historical and cultural artifacts have been stolen from the Iraqi museums. Furthermore, this seems to have happened under the supervision of the U.S. troops, as if it was planned in advance. The day of the jackals Rod Liddle raises some disturbing questions about the looting of antiquities from the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad The Iraqi information minister, Said al-Sahaf, was still telling Western journalists that the treacherous infidel jackals of the US army had, in fact, killed themselves by swallowing poison, at the time the first looting of antiquities in Baghdad took place.
Strange Artifacts, The Stone Spheres of Costa. Introduction One of the strangest mysteries in archaeology was discovered in the Diquis Delta of Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been documented, ranging in size from a few centimetres to over two meters in diameter. Some weigh 16 tons. Almost all of them are made of granodiorite, a hard, igneous stone. These objects are monolithic sculptures made by human hands. Balls in the Courtyard of National Museum, San José, Costa Rica. Photo courtesy of John W. The spheres number over 300. The stones may have come from the bed of the , to where they were transported by natural processes from sources of parent material in the Talamanca mountains. Debunking the "Mystery" of the Stone Balls by John W. The stone balls of Costa Rica have been the object of pseudoscientific speculations since the publication of Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods in 1971.
The balls have been endangered since the moment of their discovery. Frequently Asked Questions How big are they? Books. Paranormal News -- Your Source for UFO and Paranormal Related In. Around June 12 of 2006, the 260th Quartermaster Battalion providing Petroleum Support Surveillance around Talil Air Force Base southeast of Baghdad uncovered a copper box containing a set of lapis lazuli tablets with Sumerian cuneiform embedded from within its layers. Without knowing quite what they were dealing with, a panel was assembled, in part, by at least the NSA, through the resources of both the US and British governments, to review the findings which were consequently flown out to the British Museum in London.
The members were assured that yes, the finding would be shared with the rest of the world upon completion, but apparently, the governmental forces involved reneged. This is hardly surprising, but it angered those flown out to the British Museum to help out on the project, and a translation ended up surfacing in Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Aleppo, Karachi, and Tangiers. Or so the story goes. What can you tell us about the discovery in Iraq during the summer of 2006? I did. Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark (1846), a painting by the American folk painter Edward Hicks A ship modeled after the biblical description of Noah's Ark, Ark van Noach, in the Netherlands Noah's Ark (Hebrew: תיבת נח; Biblical Hebrew: Tevat Noaḥ) is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6–9) by which Noah saves himself, his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals from the flood.
God gives Noah detailed instructions for building the ark: it is to be of gopher wood, smeared inside and out with pitch, with three decks and internal compartments; it will be 300 cubits long (137.16 m, 450 ft), 50 wide (22.86 m, 75 ft), and 30 high (13.716 m, 45 ft); it will have a roof "finished to a cubit upward"; and an entrance on the side. The story goes on to describe the ark being afloat throughout the flood and subsequent receding of the waters before it came to rest on Mount Ararat. The Genesis flood narrative is similar to numerous other flood myths from a variety of cultures. Origins[edit]
