The mysteries of the Piri Reis Map - 2 THE MYSTERIES OF THE PIRI REIS MAP © by Diego Cuoghi Part 1 (Piri Reis) - Part 2 (Oronce Fine) - Part 3 (Philippe Buache) - Part 4 (Atlantis) Versione italiana THE CART OF ORONTIUS FINAEUS (Oronce Fine) English translation: Leonardo Serni Another well-known map - considered by Graham Hancock and other "mystery" fans as proof positive of Anctartica being already known and charted centuries before its exploration - is the one published in 1531 by Oronce Fine (called Oronzio Fineo, in Italian; or Orontius Finaeus, in Latin), a renowned mathematician who also designed geographical maps based upon his geometrical studies of the various spherical or cordiform projections. This map represents a large continent called "Terra Australis" (land that lies to the south), around the South pole. Desliens map of 1567. The orientation is inverted: Nord is down. At that time, travel and exploration weren't endeavored for sport, or for knowledge's sake.
Cliff Yablonski Hates You my name is Cliff Yablonski. I have never met you before, but I hate you regardless. if I met you in public, I'd still hate you. I probably wouldn't hate you any more than how much I currently hate you, because I don't think that would be humanly possible. I would probably punch you in the face though. I hate everybody and everything I find on the Internet. my site and the "Law and Order" website are the only places worth visiting. Richard convinced me to make a site dedicated to all the people I know and hate, maybe so his stupid "Something Awful" website won't suck as much. even though my site is on "Something Awful", I still hate him and his website. 01-13-2003: Merry christmas. 11-25-2002: Merry christmas. 10-07-2002: SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! 08-12-2002: "Oh waaahhhh Cliff, update your computer screen, wahhhh, I have nothing else in my life except to whine about wanting to see photos of ugly trolls, wahhhh." 01-25-2002: STOP E-MAILING ME YOU WORTHLESS HUMPHATS!

Hill of Crosses, Lithuania Mary and crosses left by pilgrims, Hill of Crosses, Siauliai (Enlarge) The Hill of Crosses, Kryzių Kalnas, located 12 kilometers north of the small industrial city of Siauliai (pronounced shoo-lay) is the Lithuanian national pilgrimage center. Standing upon a small hill are many hundreds of thousands of crosses that represent Christian devotion and a memorial to Lithuanian national identity. The city of Siauliai was founded in 1236 and occupied by Teutonic Knights during the 14th century. The tradition of placing crosses dates from this period and probably first arose as a symbol of Lithuanian defiance of foreign invaders. Since the medieval period, the Hill of Crosses has represented the peaceful resistance of Lithuanian Catholicism to oppression. Captured by Germany in World War II, the city suffered heavy damage when Soviet Russia retook it at the war's end. The size and variety of crosses is as amazing as their number.

Tijuana Bibles Proof of the Prosaic Nature of the STS-48 Zig-Zag Video Proof of the Prosaic Nature of the STS-48 Zig-Zag Video Chart 1 is a page from the mission's Flight Plan showing what was happening at the time of the zig-zag (approximately 20 hours 39 minutes 20 seconds GMT on Julian Date 258 -- or about 3:39 PM CDT on September 15, 1991. The crew was just waking up -- powerful prima facie evidence that they were not engaged in some intensive secret experiment. The shuttle was on "Orbit 44" and -- most significantly -- was flying southeastwards, just emerging from Earth's shadow (which it did in fifteen seconds centered at precisely 20:37:04 GMT). Chart 2 shows a plot of telemetry from the shuttle during a six minute interval around the time of the zig-zag. Separate tables of telemetry from the steering jets (not shown here) indicate that jet R5D fired at 20:39:23.31 for precisely 1.68 seconds, and its symmetric twin L5D fired at 20:39:23.79 for precisely 1.2 seconds (it had not fired for the previous 13 minutes).
Cave Being I first saw this picture on the web site of a Big Huge Late Night radio Talk show guy. They swore it was true. The Guy talked about it a few times over the next months. It used to piss me off that known, and I mean KNOWN hoaxes, debunked stuff and outright crazy people were fed to a whole new generation as Truth on this show. Ok, the True Story - this is a real photo. But you wouldn't believe the people who would argue and insist to me that this was a real Djinn because they saw it on this Guy's Website and he talked about it on his show and he swore it was true. I wish I had one of these for my hallway.

human portrait carved 200,000 years ago - Two accidental discoveries. - The concept of portrait. The sculpture here introduced is particularly beloved by me, not only why it is the sculpted portrait more ancient that I know, but also why it has been discovered two times; before by me, and the second time by my wife Licia, some months ago, when she photographed it and discovered the portrait. SCULPTURE OF THE LOWER PALEOLITHIC OF BORZONASCA Beardless human head TWO ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERIES Borzonasca, Province of Genova (Italy), is a town known for the "megalithic Face of Borzone", a rock sculpture. THE CONCEPT OF PORTRAIT. The findings of human skulls, dating from 400.000 to 150.000 years, are all constituted from fragments. DESCRIPTION OF THE BORZONASCA SCULPTURE The sculpture represents two human heads joined for the nape (Fig. 4 lateral A and B, Fig. 7 lateral B and A), one beardless (Fig. 1, 2, 3, side A) and the other bearded ( Fig.6 side B).

MOM and Oronteus Finaeus Map of 1532 The Mysterious Origins of Man: The Oronteus Finaeus Map of 1532 Copyright © 1996 by Paul Heinrich[Last Update: June 6, 1996] The segment of The Mysterious Origins of Man concerning the Oronteus Finaeus Map of 1532 starts out with Charlton Heston stating that Dr. Charles Hapgood [author of Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, Hapgood (1966, 1979)], made a "startling discovery" while he was combing through the map room at the Library of Congress. MOM then quotes Dr. As my eyes fell upon the southern hemisphere of a world map drawn by a Oronteus Finaeus in 1532, I had the instant conviction that I had found here a truly authentic map of the real Antarctica. Unfortunately, this conviction likely so prejudiced his ideas concerning the Oronteus Finaeus Map that he was unable to evaluate it objectively. In MOM, Mr. The mystery of this map is it shows Antarctica as it looks under the ice long before Antarctica is even supposed to have been discovered. In this part of MOM, Mr. Then Mr. and Conclusion
