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 first time I ever met James Mills was at the Dallas airport. I was on my way back to Roatan, Honduras to hopefully locate a pirate treasure, which I believed to be buried on the island. Little did I know at the time that the story I was about to hear, if true, could lead to one of the greatest discoveries in all of Mayan archaeology. Mills and I left the airport and got into his car. We headed off to some small Texas restaurant to discuss his project. He seemed very secretive about it the whole time. He chain smoked cigarettes as he drove down the highway, and started telling me how he first got involved with this project four years ago.
He had taken a trip to the south of Belize to do some exploring for Mayan ruins, deep in the jungles behind a Mayan city called Lubantan. The city's fame comes from the discovery of the crystal skull by explorer Mitchell Hedges. Mills said that he started to hack his way through the jungle for several miles before becoming exhausted.

Advancements in calendar research and the Holy Bible announce a new discovery. The Begat Genealogy of Adam in chapter 5 of Genesis measures time according to ancient lunar/solar calendars.
Long ago, the Lord embedded His message of lunar/solar calendar use within the earliest scriptures of the Bible. The moon and sun were the heavenly time keepers for the very ancients. Observation was the only way to determine a calendar. The Creative Week helped plant early seeds of faith. Scriptures record the oldest calendar patterns.
To the immemorial ones of antiquity, the keys of time unlocked the doors to the spirit and soul, and to eternal life and death. Operation of the calendar is the most precious eternal wisdom that mankind will ever grasp.

In 1955, archaeologist Dr. Sean O’Riordan of Trinity College, Dublin, made an interesting discovery during an excavation of the Mound of Hostages at Tara, site of ancient kingship of Ireland. Bronze Age skeletal remains were found of what has been argued to be a young prince, still wearing a rare necklace of faience beads, made from a paste of minerals and plant extracts that had been fired.
The skeleton was carbon dated to around 1350 BC. In 1956, J. F. Stone and L. C. Thomas reported that the faience beads were Egyptian: “In fact, when they were compared with Egyptian faience beads, they were found to be not only of identical manufacture but also of matching design.

The Grail Messenger, one who declaims the reason and purpose of the Grail and the Quest to attain it, is a figure that appears in the Arthurian romances of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. She appears suddenly and sometimes mysteriously, delivers her message, and then is usually not heard from again.
In some tales, she appears at the end of the story to announce the successful end of the Grail Quest, and yet in others, she is also the maiden bearing the Grail in the strange procession seen by various Grail Questers in what is known by several names, the Grail Castle. Who is this mysterious woman? Why is she often described as hideous, having a face composed of features taken from several animals?

One of my favourite playgrounds as a kid was the river at Sandford, a village about a 2 mile walk from where we lived and just over 3 miles from the centre of Oxford. On only one or two occasions (honest guv!), my mates and I shinned down the drain pipes on summer evenings and cycled over to the river to wet a line (yeah, I know...).
We'd tell each other ghost stories in the dwindling light and scare each other half to death and then suddenly feel the urge to seek the comforting presence of our mums and dads - who were blissfully unaware of their childrens' absence - until one time mine caught me sneaking in through my bedroom window that is!

The T-shaped doorway or window appears as a common architectural motif in stone masonry villages all across the Anasazi (ancient Hopi) Southwest. It is found, for instance, at Chaco Canyon in northern New Mexico and Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado.
In Greek the letter T is called tau cross, which echoes the name of the Hopi sun god Tawa. Every day the sun emerges from the Underworld through a T-shaped doorway, the horizontal bar serving as the horizon.

In the Spring 2003 edition of Azerbaijan International an article was presented about ‘Stone Age’ rock carvings called ‘cup marks’. These were enigmatic examples of ancient 'rock-art' thought to be contemporary with the more famous rock carvings or petroglyphs of Gobustan, which according to archaeologists may date back some 6000 years. While cup marks vary in size and appearance their meaning remains a mystery.
However as much time and effort went into carving them, they no doubt held deep cultural significance to the ancient inhabitants.

It is seen in the sky, on the ground, hidden in language and glaring at us from the pages of our most profound books - the snake. In this Article I want to extend that now a little and for us to journey around the world of symbols. By understanding what many of these symbols mean and just how universal they are we will be guided into this lost world of our past. We will begin with a symbol of life itself from the world's greatest ancient civilisation.
Ankh
The Ankh is the Crux Ansata. A simple T-Cross, surmounted by an oval – called the RU, which is, simply put, the gateway to enlightenment.

We all know that we go into a different state of consciousness during the sexual act. As it is a creation process, it is not hard to relate that we can then have an effect on creation when in this form of consciousness. When we engage in sex, we are tapping into the blueprint that made the whole universe possible. As Crowley studied this information, he saw that the ancients understood what they were doing in their orgiastic rites.
Of course, if you were to walk in on an orgy today, you might find that the procedure has degenerated into an unholy mess. On the other hand, magical energies would definitely be present.
All of this brings us back to Bast, the goddess of witchcraft and sexual magick in the Egyptian pantheon. If you ever had the urge to do anything of a bizarre sexual nature, you were entering the realm of Bast. Who exactly was she?
