It consists of a central building with two six-columned Doric porticoes east and west and two Ionic colonnades in the interior, framed at the north and south by two wings with porches in the Doric order. The outbreak of the Peloponnesian War meant that the final work on the surfaces of the monument was never completed. The destruction of most of the superstructure of the central building during the years 1640-1830 , after the explosion of gunpowder that was stored in the monument by the Turks, has led to a gradual loss of authentic building material, so that until now no more than one fifth of it had been recognised.
TZM Response To ‘Kony 2012′ Campaign Recently, a viral phenomenon flared up as a result of a video campaign entitled ‘Kony 2012′, which encourages the viewer to become passionate about chasing down a man named Joseph Kony, who is apparently involved in gang warfare, rape, severe child abuse, slavery, murder and the like in Uganda and it’s neighbouring countries. This is obviously extremely inhumane and abhorrent behaviour to say the least. The methods in which the film presents the problem are very emotive, and judging by the public response, appears very effective on pulling on the viewer’s heartstrings.
Excavation Report: Architectural Remains at Abusir-south Click here for Japanese version The Research at Abusir At the site of Abusir, about 10 km south of the Giza plateau, there is another large royal cemetery of the Old Kingdom.

Titans of Space - Unimersiv A short guided tour of a the planets of our solar system through virtual reality It’s not meant to be realistic, but more on the surreal holographic side. Everything you see is initially shrunk down to 1 millionth of their actual size, which means you will see Earth as a 12.7-meter-wide holographic ball, rather than the giant 12756km-wide ball of rock that it is. Although the tour is on rails, you can proceed through it at your own pace.

New Energy Movement - technology assessment New Energy Movement has established itself primarily as an educational resource and advisory body seeking to inspire an energy revolution. Amongst our Board members and associates are individuals who have distinguished themselves as teachers, innovators, authors and world renown speakers. Familiar with the vast array of New Energy principles and technologies, we are continuously engaged in the study of these emerging developments. It is the immediate-term goal of New Energy Movement to identify and publicly disseminate the technologies that have proven to be truly unconventional advances in the science of energy generation. We heartily endorse the work of Sterling Allan, founder of Pure Energy Systems, in his efforts to establish the New Energy Congress.We encourage all who support this movement to join the New Energy Congress as it works toward a robust 'open source' network assessing the promise of candidate technologies.
