Secret History -- Sott.net © Karen L. King 2012Gospel of Jesus' Wife: front. The Gospel of Jesus' Wife, a papyrus fragment of Coptic script containing a suggestion that Jesus may have been married, is an ancient document, and not a modern forgery, says a paper published in the Harvard Theological Review on Tuesday. Tests by teams of engineering, biology, and chemistry professors from Columbia University, Harvard University, and MIT indicate the papyrus dates to between the sixth and ninth centuries, and possibly as far back as the second to fourth centuries. The brownish-yellow, tattered fragment, about 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches, caused international uproar when it was presented at a conference in Rome in September 2012 by Harvard Professor Karen L. Written in Coptic, a language of ancient Egyptian Christians, the fragment appears to be a broken conversation between Jesus and his disciples. "She will be able to be my disciple," said the next line.
Giovanni Belzoni et Howard Carter : les aventuriers de l’Égypte perdue Giovanni Belzoni (1778-1823) et Howard Carter (1974-1939) : deux hommes, à cent ans de distance, fascinés par l'Egypte ancienne et ses mystères. Deux figures clés de l’égyptologie auxquelles on doit quelques-unes des plus grandes découvertes de l’archéologie égyptienne des XIXe et XXe siècles. Leurs exploits fabuleux s’alignent comme des titres de romans d’aventure : découverte du tombeau de Séthi 1er (Belzoni), exhumation du grand temple de Ramsès II à Abu Simbel (Belzoni), ouverture de la seconde entrée de la pyramide de Khephren (Belzoni), découverte du tombeau de Toutânkhamon (Carter). Leurs trouvailles et leurs récits passionneront l'Occident pendant longtemps, créant un engouement spectaculaire pour l’Égypte. Il n’en demeure pas moins que l’héritage de ces deux pionniers constitue un legs inestimable qui permit de faire éclater au grand jour la grandeur et le raffinement de l’Égypte ancienne. . Mais Belzoni aspire à une autre forme de reconnaissance. . . . . . . . .
Cyberculture Evolution - Screens by Jon Lebkowsky and R.U. Sirius Two of the principal fathers of technocluture, electronic media activist Jon Lebkowsky and cyber-theoretician R.U. Sirius, have known each other almost from the virtual beginning. Currently, on Thursday nights on Hotwired ( Lebkowsky hosts the Electronic Frontiers Forum (EFF), a kind of an Internet think tank to which Net activists (and the online public) are invited to discuss the ramifications of politics both in and on the wired world. Though Sirius left Mondo 2000 shortly before its collapse in 1995, he remains a ubiquitous Internet presence -- a search for his name turns up 30,000 matches at URLs all over the world. Below is an edited transcript of an interview the outspoken online gurus conducted with each other over a period of weeks in a private conference on the WELL. -- Jen Scoville n R.U. Jon Lebkowsky: Several threads in my life came together online. Not long after, I bought a computer and modem, and got online.
Les principales Pyramides Définition Le mot pyramide vient du Grec : pyramis πυραμίς au pluriel pyramidis, indiquant un gâteau de farine de blé, qui avait la forme d'une pyramide. Certains historiens pensent que le mot Grec lui-même vient du mot Égyptien per-em-nous qui, dans le papyrus Rhind, est utilisé pour représenter la hauteur de la pyramide (littéralement "ce qui monte"). Le bâtiment par lui même était appelé mer en Égyptien. Les pyramides Égyptiennes sont à base carrée et, à l'exception de celles de la IIIe dynastie (2647-2575), s'intensifièrent avec une base rectangulaire. Quatre côtés ont des bords lisses qui relient la base au sommet, où se trouvait le pyramidion. Selon la théorie la plus largement acceptée parmi les chercheurs, les pyramides furent construites comme des tombes au-dessus de la sépulture du souverain.

When We Tested Nuclear Bombs -- Earth Changes Since the time of Trinity -- the first nuclear explosion in 1945 -- nearly 2,000 nuclear tests have been performed, with the majority taking place during the 1960s and 1970s. When the technology was new, tests were frequent and often spectacular, and led to the development of newer, more deadly weapons. But starting in the 1990s, there have been efforts to limit the future testing of nuclear weapons, including a U.S. moratorium and a U.N. comprehensive test ban treaty. As a result, testing has slowed -- though not halted -- and there are questions about the future. Who will take over for those experienced engineers who are now near retirement, and should we act as stewards with our enormous stockpiles of nuclear weapons? © US DODA fireball begins to rise, and the world's first atomic mushroom cloud begins to form, nine seconds after Trinity detonated on July 16, 1945. © US DODA longer-exposure photograph of the Trinity explosion seconds after detonation on July 16, 1945.
Le matériel funéraire déposé dans les tombes de la culture de Nagada (Haute-Égypte, IVe millénaire) 1Le Néolithique est apparu de façon relativement tardive en Égypte, au VIe millénaire. Il s’accompagne d’un recentrage des populations qui vont se fixer dans la vallée du Nil. En effet, les crues violentes et imprévues du Nil Sauvage ne permettaient pas de séjourner durablement sur ses rives. 1 Pour une synthèse générale concernant la période nagadienne, voir Wengrow 2006, Hendrickx. et al. (...) 2Le premier horizon culturel qui émerge à la suite de la néolithisation et de l’établissement des populations dans la vallée du Nil est le Badarien. 3La chronologie de la période nagadienne est complexe. 2 Concernant la question des modalités d’expansion, voir Campagno 2002, Bard & Carneiro 1989, Trigge (...) 4À l’heure actuelle, les spécialistes bataillent pour établir de quelle manière s’est réalisée l’expansion nagadienne : fut-elle le fruit de conquêtes belliqueuses, d’alliances de type matrimonial ou de ralliement volontaire à une culture dominante en pleine extension2 ?

Hidden in a cave: First ever portrait of Jesus found in 1 of 70 ancient books? By Nick Pryer for The Mail on Sunday Created: 18:44 BST, 2 April 2011 The image is eerily familiar: a bearded young man with flowing curly hair. After lying for nearly 2,000 years hidden in a cave in the Holy Land, the fine detail is difficult to determine. But in a certain light it is not difficult to interpret the marks around the figure’s brow as a crown of thorns. The extraordinary picture of one of the recently discovered hoard of up to 70 lead codices – booklets – found in a cave in the hills overlooking the Sea of Galilee is one reason Bible historians are clamouring to get their hands on the ancient artefacts. If genuine, this could be the first-ever portrait of Jesus Christ, possibly even created in the lifetime of those who knew him. Discovery: The impression on this booklet cover shows what could be the earliest image of Christ Astonishingly, one of the booklets appears to bear the words ‘Saviour of Israel’ – one of the few phrases so far translated. Saida’s motives are complex.
The Pyramids of Giza in Egypt The age of the first ancient wonders of the world began with the pyramids of Sneferu, he built three pyramids and may have had a hand in others. His pyramid at Medum began as a step pyramid and was then modified to form the first true pyramid. He built two pyramids at Dahshur one called the Bent Pyramid because its upper part has a shallower angle of inclination than the lower part. Seneferu's Bent pyramid at Dahshur was originally planned as a true pyramid, but its geometry was altered at a point just above half its height. When Khufu, also known as Cheops, became pharaoh one of his first acts was to curtail the growing power of the priesthood. Khufu's pyramid at Giza showing the plan of passages and burial chamber. Some believe that his pyramid at Giza was built by slaves but this is not true. There are three pyramids at Giza, each of which once had an adjoining mortuary temple.

Tunnel found under temple in Mexico Researchers found a tunnel under the Temple of the Snake in the pre-Hispanic city of Teotihuacan, about 28 miles northeast of Mexico City. The tunnel had apparently been sealed off around 1,800 years ago. Researchers of Mexico's National University made the finding with a radar device. Experts found "a route of symbols, whose conclusion appears to lie in the funeral chambers at the end of the tunnel." The structure is 15 yards beneath the ground, and it runs eastwards. "At the end, there are several chambers which could hold the remains of the rulers of that Mesoamerican civilization. Teotihuacan, with its huge pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, its palaces, temples, homes, workshops, markets and avenues, is the largest pre-Hispanic city in Mesoamerica.
