The Book Of THoTH

Part I - Paros

In the southern part of the Aegean sea, off the south-eastern coast of mainland Greece and east of the Peloponnesus peninsula, lies the island archipelago of the Cyclades (pronounced "kick-lah-des"). It is composed of over 200 islands ranging in area from a few hundred meters to over 400 square kilometers (240 square miles), and nestled together in a relatively small region. The impression one gets when flying over the entire complex at high altitude is of looking at a puddle that some playful child threw sand and rocks in.

The Cyclades are located in a highly active geological region, at the very meeting point of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates in the north-eastern Mediterranean. The continual subduction activity there formed a sea-floor in the Aegean, which differs greatly from the rest of the Mediterranean, its "parent" sea - the latter is mostly smooth, while the former is dominated by underwater mountains and deep trenches.

All of the islands are the visible tops of submerged mountains, except for two which were created by ancient volcanic eruptions - Milos, and the famous Santorini (Thera). And there is another island which is a notable exception in the area, a place whose Ancient Mystery is begging to be unraveled today.

“BUT WHAT ABOUT THAT??”

There's a fairly choppy account of strangeness throughout the world. Whatever the public knows of the big mysteries doesn't seem very organized. The culprit could be human tendency to jumble up our absurdly assumed with our vastly understudied. We believe perhaps the first explanation we hear, and avoid the alternatives. It makes our lives convenient . . . after all we can't be doddling the mysteries of the universe when there's a roast to cook. Surely we can't all go out and measure the data for ourselves, but do we really need one person developing the acceptable theory from the data? Unless there's something big to hide, they may as well stick a webcam in any laboratory, any satellite, any dig that researchers may find themselves in. Let the public see in realtime.

THE inimitable Private Fraser of Dad’s Army encapsulated the Malthusian doctrine to grim comic effect when he suggested an end to civilisation as he knew it.

He was not the first - or the last - to oil the wheels of the doomsday machine.

For it seems that if humans cannot have Apocalypse Now! we can have Apocalypse When? From Nostradamus’s suggestion of global calamity, occasioned by the arrival on Earth of Satan (confidently, but erroneously, predicted for 1999) we believe the end is nigh. The 16th-century French astrologer - and drug abuser - wrote of the end of the world in Quatrain 74, which related to events in July 1999. Somehow, however, we survived.

But, no matter where we are in history, it is an age of anxiety, and our fears have grown exponentially over the past half- century.

From the Cold War to the latest prognostication that we will soon go the way of Atlantis, we embrace the threat of calamity.

For many millennia various philosophers and other misfits with little else to do have broken their heads over the question of whether it is semantically proper for a single person to ever use the plural pronoun "we", when describing his own actions.

Some say that one should not be "semantically allowed" to say things like "we view this negatively" or even "we'll see you later" - because such statements are logically meaningless. A person can speak only for himself, he has absolutely no control over what others do, and can't force them to agree with his actions or views, either in the past or in the future. Therefore it would be a fallacy to include anybody else in what you are saying really about yourself.

I don’t mean to be paranoid, but it seems with some things I can’t help myself. I believe “they� are watching us, whoever “they� are, that “they� are intentionally poisoning us with Splenda, Aspartame,corn syrup, sodium, larger food portions, cloned meats and genetically modified foods. Oh yeah, and chemtrails. Still, I don’t mean to get all hyper paranoid over this MRSA thing, yet there are things afoot that nag at me. (MRSA is a staph infection that is super-resistant to antibiotics.) On one hand, MRSA seems to be poohed poohed; the school district I work for has, as its headline on its website, an article titled “Much Ado About MRSA� which implies that MRSA is no big deal. And in my case, it most probably isn’t. But then I read that other school districts have closed down during MRSA outbreaks, (including here in Oregon, where I live) and we can always count on Jeff Rense, of Rense.com, for good old yellow journalism, with his headlines screaming about not only MRSA but Morgellons, Bird Flu, and other ills -- it’s easy to get nervous about things.

MUKANNA "MOONMAKER" - DISCOVERER OF MERCURY TELESCOPE

A.A.Rustamov

The surface of a fluid in a container, rotating around vertical axis at a constant angular speed, gets the form of the spining parabola. The mirrors having such form are ideal telescopes. This well known physical phenomenon was used in 1908 by noted physicist Robert Wood in his mercury telescope. This most "useless" his invention gained large popularity for him. His telescope, which was a rotating dish with mercury fixed at bottom of a well under cowshed, became sensation. Standing on edge of the well, people looked downwards and were amazed by image of stars, which were like bright electrical lamps hanging in the air.
"New telescope will discover a mystery of the Universe. Is Mars inhabited?"
"Mercury telescope, invented by genius from Baltimore, brings Moon near to Earth up to several miles" - such headings filled in pages of leading newspapers. "Associated Press" and popular scientific syndicates also snatched at new invention and the cowshed became a "place of pilgrimage" for scientists and curious people.
These quotations were taken from the book by Seabrook, W. "Doctor Wood, Modern Wizard of the Laboratory." [1]
In the beginning of XV century Abd ar-Rashid al-Bakuvi (native of Baku) in his book "On monuments and miracles of powerful king" (reduced version) [2] described an event of six hundred years old, which took place in town Nahshab (near Buhara ), in strong degree reminding Baltimore phenomenon.
