How was an 80-ton single piece of granite Kalasam lifted to the peak of the temple tower, 216 feet high? Additionally, how was this granite sourced in India from a region devoid of mountains? And how was it transported using only carts and horses?

1. Pyramids are not tombs; no mummy has ever been found inside the pyramid. All mummies were found in the kings valley. 2. How the hell do you cut 20 ton blocks of granite with extreme precision and lift them one on top of the other, in the "king's chamber", with WOODEN RAMPS !! 3. Let's say wooden ramps were used; you need to cut down a whole forest in order to provide wood to move 2.3 MILLION blocks of huge stones. Where the hell is the evidence for that wood? 4. There is not a single hieroglyphic text that says ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. 5. How many "slaves" or workers do you need to quarry, cut and lift 2.3 MILLION stones? Where the hell do you find people who can laser cut and lift huge tons of granite? 6. How do you position the whole pyramid to face true north, 4000 years ago when the builders "didn't know about the WHEEL" ? (That's the bias of mainstream egyptologists). 7. The top of the pyramid is a quarter of an inch off center (base of the pyramid); that's after placing 2.3 million blocks of stone. When you divide that tiny margin of error by 2.3 million stones, the accuracy at which the stones were placed is unparalleled and has never been done by modern architects with all modern technology. Conclusion: 90% of Human history was buried by time, the other 10% is written by the victors. NO it's not aliens. Just Advanced Ancient Human Tech....

Me too......whatever crooked and insane verdict that comes from this will be overturned on appeal, anyway.......

Yes.....

Clearest picture ever taken of Venus.

A faithful take on the Arthurian legend, "Excalibur" was released today in 1981. Starring Nigel Terry, Helen Mirren and Nicol Williamson, it also included appearances from future stars Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson ad Gabriel Byrne. The film opened at no. 1 and was a success both critically and financially. It was so violent, however, that distributors created a PG version to gain a wider audience. According to some, when it premiered on cable TV, HBO aired the R-rated version in the evening and the PG-rated version during the day.

The photo you see has been floating around different Texas history pages and many of them are wondering what was on this man's mind at the time it was taken? The photo was taken by a photographer from Life Magazine in 1937. The town is Freer, Texas in Duvall County. The history of Freer is quite extensive, but for us at All Things Texas we believe that we can give a little more context to this photo. The single most important event in the history of Freer occurred in 1928. Three wildcatters drilling on the W. P. Norton property just southwest of what is now the Freer townsite struck one of the nation's largest oil reserves. The discovery of oil soon turned Freer into what Life magazine called "the last of the tough frontier oil towns." Those who had seen Freer grow into a town they called home soon realized that the oil boom was changing their way of life and not for the good to those who lived there. The onset of the "Great Depression" soon saw a little bit of normalcy come to the town of Freer. But, the 1930s were a decade of phenomenal growth in Freer. The town had two businesses in 1931, but by the spring of 1933, when a fire that started in the Bluebonnet Cafe on Main Street came close to destroying the town. The fire merely provided the citizens of Freer with an opportunity to display their resilience. By 1936, when the community's population was estimated at 1,200, Freer had sixty businesses and was incorporated for a time. Two years later both the population and the number of businesses had doubled. The town quickly attracted a colorful cast of prostitutes, gamblers, drifters, and drunks, and a certain type of boomtown trash one could say. So, we believe that this is a photo of an older gentleman just making sure that things on the streets of Freer, Texas remains calm. Today the population of Freer, Texas is around 2,400.

When it became clear the Titanic was going down, Isidor and Ida Straus did as requested—the couple put on life jackets and moved to the Boat Deck where officers were lowering lifeboats and instructing women, children, and First Class passengers to board. According to detailed accounts from Ida's maid and Isidor's work colleague (both surviving eyewitnesses who recounted the story to newspapers at the time) a Third Officer told Ida, who was wearing a full-length mink coat to brave the icy outdoor temperatures, to step onto the lifeboat. She did. When the officer beckoned to Isidor, prompting him to follow, he shook his head. Isidor said, “No I will not get on the lifeboat until I see that every woman and child has a chance to escape.” The officer recognizing Mr. Straus as the co-owner of Macy’s, offered him a place on the lifeboat 8 but he declined electing to remain on the deck. According to Archibald Gracie in "The Truth About the Titanic", at first the men tried to get Mrs. Straus into the boat but she would not go without her husband. Then the men all agreed that an old gentleman like Isador should be allowed into the boat. Gracie writes: "'No', he said, 'I do not wish any distinction in my favor which is not granted to the others.' As near as I can recall them these were the words which they addressed to me. Seeing this, Ida then climbed back out of the boat and turned to her beloved husband. "We have lived a wonderful life together for 40 years and have six beautiful children together, if you won't get on the life boat, I won't either,” she told him. She removed her mink coat and handed it her maid, Ellen Bird. "I won't have any further need," she said. "Please take this as you get into a lifeboat to keep you warm, until you are rescued." Other sources say Ida stated, "We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go." Archibald Gracie writes, 'They expressed themselves as fully prepared to die, and calmly sat down in steamer chairs on the glass-enclosed Deck A, prepared to meet their fate.' Isidor wrapped his arms around her, then, a great wave came over the port side of the ship and swept them both into the sea. Isidor's body (No. 96) was recovered by the MacKay-Bennett and taken to Halifax. Ida was lost to the sea. (February 6th, 1849–April 15th, 1912) Born on the same day, they died on the same day.

Sha'arayim was a border city between Philistia and Judah during the reign of David in 11th century BCE. In 2008, a broken piece of pottery was found during an excavation of Khirbet Qeiyafa, which many connect to the biblical city called Sha’arayim (mentioned in Joshua 15:36; 1 Samuel 17:52; and 1 Chronicles 4:31). The pottery’s text may roughly agree with 1 Samuel 8, where Samuel describes what will happen to the people when the nation becomes a monarchy, mainly that the population will be oppressed by those in power. Read all about it and scholars' disagreements over its language, date, and even the direction of the letters!
