The Sacsayhuamán stones sit above Cusco like a quiet dare—massive, irregular blocks weighing tens to over a hundred tons, locked together with unnerving precision and no mortar. Their tight seams, strange angles, and earthquake-proof design make the whole site feel less like a ruin and more like a message from a civilization that knew exactly what it was doing. Even now, no one can fully explain how the Incas shaped and moved stones this huge. Sacsayhuamán remains one of the most enigmatic constructions on the planet—an ancient feat that refuses to give up its secrets.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

5/8. Guano, Tragedy, and the Rise of Intensive Farming — Steven Moss — Moss discusses seabird guano (nutrient-rich droppings), first recognized as a valuable resource by the Incas and subsequently monetized by William Gibbs, who accumulated immense wealth trading guano from arid Peruvian islands. Moss emphasizes that guano harvesting occurred under tragic human conditions, with Chinese indentured laborers frequently dying during extraction operations. Mossnotes that declining guano availability stimulated the invention of synthetic fertilizers by Haber and Bosch, catalyzing the emergence of intensive chemical agriculture. Moss documents that high-intensity chemical farming, despite enabling global food production, precipitated catastrophic declines in bird and insect populations, a phenomenon extensively documented in Rachel Carson's seminal work Silent Spring. 1880
La laine d'alpaga est douce, chaude, thermorégulatrice, légère, résistante, et le Pérou qui en est le premier producteur mondial, aimerait l'exporter aux quatre coins du monde, et pourquoi pas concurrencer le cachemire. Dans le sud du Pérou, la ville d'Arequipa est le centre névralgique de la laine d'alpaga, que les Incas appelaient : « la laine des dieux ». Reportage de notre correspondant, Martin Chabal.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description"" See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu 4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told. 6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu 7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace. Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news
En el primer aniversario de la DANA, dedicamos esta entrega de La Paella Rusa a hacer un minuto y resultado de sus consecuencias políticas y sociales. Hablamos del funeral de Estado,de las familias de las víctimas y de la situación de Mazón que, efectivamente, sigue ahí. También de los avances en la investigación judicial de la tragedia. Y del Ventorro. Porque uno siempre vuelve al Ventorro. Además, nos asomamos a la apenas crispada comparecencia de Pedro Sánchez en el Senado por el caso Koldo. Y en nuestra recomendación literaria, El mundo. Una historia de familias, de Simon Sebag Montefiore (Editorial Crítica). ¡Dentro sinopsis! “Hace unos 950.000 años, una familia de cinco personas caminó por una playa y dejó las huellas familiares más antiguas jamás descubiertas. Para Simon Sebag Montefiore estos fósiles sirven como inspiración para una nueva historia mundial, una que es genuinamente global a la vez que íntima, que abarca siglos, continentes y culturas y se centra en los lazos familiares que nos conectan a cada uno de nosotros. Traza una crónica de las grandes dinastías que han dado forma a nuestro mundo a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad a través de intrigas palaciegas, asuntos amorosos y vidas familiares, vinculando los grandes temas —la guerra, la migración, la peste, la religión o la tecnología— con las personas que están en el corazón de la historia. Un rico elenco de complejos personajes forman el corazón palpitante de la historia. Veremos desfilar los Médici y a los Incas, los otomanos y los mogoles, los Bonapartes, los Habsburgo y los Zulúes, los Rothschild, los Rockefeller y los Krupp, los Churchill, los Kennedy, los Castro, los Nehrus, los Pahlavis y los Kenyattas, los Saudíes, los Kim y los Assad. Algunos son líderes conocidos —desde Alejandro Magno, Atila, Iván el Terrible y Gengis Kan hasta Hitler, Thatcher, Obama o Putin—, otros fueron genios creativos, desde Sócrates, Miguel Ángel y Shakespeare hasta Newton, Mozart, Balzac, Freud, Bowie y Tim Berners-Lee. Pero a esta nómina se suman personajes menos conocidos, como Hongwu, que empezó como mendigo y fundó la dinastía Ming; Kamehameha, conquistador de Hawai; Zenobia, emperatriz árabe que desafió a Roma; o Sayyida al-Hurra, reina pirata marroquí. Aquí no solo hay conquistadores y reinas, sino también profetas, charlatanes, actores, gángsters, artistas, científicos, médicos, magnates, amantes, esposas, maridos e hijos. Las poderosas dinastías que desfilan por este libro representan la escala de la ambición humana, fusionando sangrientas guerras de sucesión, complots traicioneros y a veces asombrosa megalomanía con una floreciente cultura o romances apasionados. Tan fascinante como la ficción, El Mundo captura toda la historia de la humanidad con toda su alegría, dolor, romance, ingenio y crueldad en una innovadora y magistral narración que cambiará para siempre los límites de lo que la historia puede lograr”.

6. The Cormorant and the Guano Trade: Wealth, Exploitation, and Intensive Farming AUTHOR: Stephen Moss BOOK TITLE: 10 Birds That Changed the World This section covers Cormorant guano, a highly prized fertilizer known to the Incas. In the 19th century, shipping guano from arid Peruvian islands made British businessman William Gibbs the wealthiest commoner in England. Tragically, this wealth was built upon the exploitation and deaths of Chinese indentured laborers. The guano boom (1840-1870) ended, leading to the invention of synthetic fertilizers (Haber-Bosch process), which enabled intensive farming that caused wildlife decline in Britain and North America. 1838
This week, we're thrilled to welcome Terry Cumes, Managing Director of the world-renowned retreat center Willka T'ika, nestled in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. Raised in the U.S. yet deeply rooted in the Andes through family and spirit, Terry bridges two worlds, blending modern Western sensibilities with the ancient wisdom of Andean cosmology.Terry takes us on a transformative journey through the lush landscapes and spiritual heart of the Sacred Valley, where mountains are revered as living deities and the Quechua people honor Pachamama, Mother Earth, through rituals of gratitude and reciprocity. He shares the remarkable story of his mother's vision to build Willka T'ika nearly 30 years ago, creating one of Peru's first luxury wellness sanctuaries devoted to yoga, nature, and the spiritual traditions of the Andes. What began as a family dream has evolved into a destination for seekers from around the world, drawn to its sacred gardens, ancient energy, and timeless wisdom.In this episode, we explore the essence of Andean cosmology, including its three worlds of spirit, earth, and underworld, its deep reverence for the mountains known as Apus, and the practice of ayni, a guiding principle of balance and reciprocity with the natural world. Terry also shares how his Western business training and his father's background in both medicine and shamanism inform his unique approach to leadership, wellness, and purpose.Join us for a rich and soulful conversation about finding harmony between modern life and ancient truth, reconnecting with the spirit of the earth, and discovering what it means to live in true reciprocity with the world around us.
On this audio and/or video episode of the podcast Phillip is by himself to talk about the regional film Redneck Milller from 1976. Film Masters did a great restoration on this movie that they released last year. The same transfer is available on Tubi. It's a fun watch. Not much is known about this movie, and Phillip does his best to give the general information about this movie and it's back ground with some facts thrown in. There are no Listener' Opinions this week, because not many people have seen this movie. Phillip talks about some of the key points of the movie and the fun stuff throughout. He then answers the question of whether he saw anything in the movie he thinks Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. Then it's time for Phillip to rate the movie. Phillip then answers the question of whether he would buy this movie, rent it, or find it for free. It's then time for Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; David Gilmour Live at the Circus Maximus (2025), Secret of the Incas (1954), and The Running Man (1963). Then it's time for Phillip to promote next week's show when he will be joined once again by author Jennifer Upton for 1972's The Italian Connection. Thanks for listening and/or watching.
Quand on évoque les grandes civilisations précolombiennes, deux noms surgissent immédiatement : les Mayas et les Incas. Pourtant, si elles ont toutes deux marqué l'histoire de l'Amérique, elles sont très différentes dans leur localisation, leur organisation et leurs héritages.Les Mayas apparaissent bien avant les Incas. Leur civilisation se développe dès 2000 avant notre ère, dans les forêts tropicales du Yucatán, au sud du Mexique, ainsi qu'au Guatemala, au Belize et au Honduras actuels. Les Incas, eux, émergent beaucoup plus tard, au XIIIᵉ siècle, dans la cordillère des Andes, principalement au Pérou. Cette différence chronologique explique déjà un contraste : quand l'empire inca atteint son apogée au XVe siècle, les grandes cités mayas étaient déjà abandonnées depuis longtemps.Sur le plan politique, le contraste est frappant. Les Mayas n'avaient pas un empire unifié mais une mosaïque de cités-États indépendantes, comme Tikal, Palenque ou Copán, qui rivalisaient entre elles par des guerres et des alliances. Les Incas, au contraire, fondèrent un empire centralisé : le Tawantinsuyu. Depuis Cuzco, l'empereur, appelé le Sapa Inca, exerçait un pouvoir absolu sur des millions de sujets et un territoire immense s'étendant de la Colombie jusqu'au Chili.Sur le plan culturel, les Mayas brillèrent surtout par leur écriture et leurs connaissances scientifiques. Ils développèrent un système d'écriture hiéroglyphique complexe, unique en Amérique, qui permettait de noter aussi bien des événements politiques que des récits mythologiques. Ils élaborèrent également un calendrier extrêmement précis, basé sur l'astronomie, et laissèrent des monuments impressionnants comme les pyramides de Chichén Itzá. Les Incas, eux, ne connaissaient pas l'écriture. Pour conserver la mémoire des tributs ou des recensements, ils utilisaient les quipus, des cordelettes nouées dont les combinaisons servaient de code numérique. Leur génie s'exprima surtout dans l'ingénierie : routes pavées traversant les Andes, ponts suspendus, systèmes d'irrigation et villes perchées comme Machu Picchu.Enfin, leurs religions différaient. Les Mayas pratiquaient des rituels sanglants pour apaiser leurs dieux, y compris des sacrifices humains. Les Incas, eux, adoraient surtout Inti, le dieu Soleil, et considéraient l'empereur comme son descendant direct. Leurs sacrifices humains existaient, mais étaient plus rares et souvent réservés à des moments exceptionnels.En somme, les Mayas furent des astronomes et des scribes brillants, mais fragmentés politiquement. Les Incas, eux, bâtirent un empire solide et organisé, mais sans écriture. Deux civilisations fascinantes, qui montrent la diversité et la richesse des mondes précolombiens bien avant l'arrivée des Européens. Hébergé par Acast.

In this episode of Limitless, Raul Bilecky takes us deepinto the deserts and mountains of Peru—revealing breathtaking footage of ancient sites that remain undocumented and unexplored. From temples with noMinistry of Culture record, to vast stretches of looted ruins littered with bones and pottery shards, Raul shares discoveries rarely seen by the outside world. We explore megalithic pottery larger than anything in the archaeological record, mysterious sunken plazas thatmay rewrite the history of the Americas, and newly spotted geoglyphs predating the famous Nazca lines by thousands of years. Alongside tales of looting pits stretching for kilometers and artifacts destroyed in search of metal, Raul highlights the urgency of documenting these sacred places before they vanish to agriculture, erosion, or theft.

Hear Dr. Wilder's encouraging testimony of the power of God to save even someone even from the depths of a cult.

Also, consider that the false teaching of the Book of Mormon regarding one of its central claims, that pre-Columbian American Indians were primarily of Jewish ancestry, has been falsified.

Weird and heretical. * God the Father was Once a Man said Brigham Young: Not speaking of the incarnation of the Son but speaking of the Father, LDS president, prophet, and successor to Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, said, "The idea that the Lord our God is not a personage of tabernacle [body] is entirely a mistaken notion. He was once a man. Brother Kimball quoted a saying of Joseph [Smith] the Prophet, that he would not worship a God who had not a Father... He [God] once possessed a body, as we now do..." -President & Prophet Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, Vol. 9 see exmormon.org * More Brigham Young: "...the Father of Heights... Yes, he was once a man like you and I are and was once on an earth like this, passed through the ordeal you and I pass through. He had his father and his mother and he has been exalted through his faithfulness, and he is become Lord of all. He is the God pertaining to this earth. He is our Father." -President & Prophet Brigham Young, 14 July 1861 see exmormon.org * Mormon Prophet and President Lorenzo Snow: Again, not speaking of the incarnation but of the Father, Snow said, "I had a direct revelation of this. ... If there ever was a thing revealed to man perfectly, clearly, so that there could be no doubt or dubiety, this was revealed to me, and it came in these words: "As man now is, God once was; as God now is, man may be." - President & Prophet Lorenzo R. Snow, Unchangeable Love of God see exmormon.org * Mormon "Church" President Equivocates: LDS president Gordon Hinkley in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle lied and then equivocated... Q: There are some significant differences in your beliefs. For instance, don't Mormons believe that God [the Father] was once a man? A: [Lying] I wouldn't say that. There was a little couplet coined, "As man is, God once was. As God is, man may become." Now that's more of a couplet than anything else. [And equivocating] That gets into some pretty deep theology that we don't know very much about. Q: So you're saying the church is still struggling to understand this? A: Well, as God is, man may become. We believe in eternal progression. Very strongly. * Brigham (liked-'em) Young and so did Smith: Some early Mormons denied that their earliest leaders were polygamists and it was claimed that Brigham (liked-'em) Young introduced the practice. Young had 55 wives. He married ten teenagers while in his 40s including 15-year-old Clarissa Decker when he was 42 and 16-year-old Lucy Bigelow when he was 45. Also, from age 41 to age 66, Young married 23 women in their 20s. Finally in 2014 the Mormon "church" acknowledged that their founder Joseph Smith had up to 40 wives (some historians put it at 49), taking single and even married women. The church claims that some of these marriages were without physical relations, which they would seeing that Smith's youngest bride, Helen Kimball, was only 14, the marriage listed by Smith's own clerk as one of the women the founder married in early May 1843. Helen would later write: [My father] asked me if I would be sealed to Joseph … [Smith] said to me, 'If you will take this step, it will ensure your eternal salvation & exaltation and that of your father's household & all of your kindred.['] This promise was so great that I willingly gave myself to purchase so glorious a reward. Lorenzo Snow, mentioned above, the fifth president, 1989 - 1901, only had nine wives, though a number of them were teenagers half (and much less than half) his age. Recall that the Koran includes Mohammad's warning to his first wife that she faced eternal punishment for objecting to him lying with the young Coptic servant girl whom, allegedly, "Allah" had "made lawful" to him, so too, Joseph Smith dictated a similar warning to his first wife Emma in the founder's "inspired" Doctrine and Covenants. And we see above that though 14-year-old Kimball wasn't threatened she was similarly manipulated nonetheless. * Mitt Romney's Second Cousin Once Removed: "...like begets like [i.e., reproduction after its kind; an organism begets similar organisms] and that for the offspring to grow to the stature of his parent is a process infinitely repeated in nature. We can therefore understand that for a son of God to grow to the likeness of his Father in heaven is in harmony with natural law... This is the way it will be with spirit sons of God. They will grow up to be like their Father in heaven. Joseph [Smith] taught this obvious truth. As a matter of fact, he taught that through this process God himself attained perfection. From President Snow's understanding of the teachings of the Prophet on this doctrinal point, he coined the familiar couplet: "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become." This teaching is peculiar to the [LDS] restored gospel of Jesus Christ." -Elder Marion G. Romney, General Conference, October 1964 see exmormon.org * No Cities, No Money: Archaeologists and historians have confirmed the existence of scores of biblical cities. However, the No true Scotsman informal fallacy notwithstanding, not a single one of the 38 cities mentioned by Joseph Smith in the Book of Mormon have been recognized by any notable secular historian or archaeologist. And while every coin in the Bible has been found and documented, none of the monetary units described in the Book of Mormon have ever been found. * Mormonism Falsely Claims that Indians are Jews: One of the central historical claims of the Book of Mormon, as stated in its introduction as late as 1981, is that Jews were "the principal ancestors of the American Indians" and that would include the Aztecs, Incas, Mayans, Navajos, etc., are Jews. This false teaching states that some Jews left Jerusalem by ship in about 600 B.C. and built a great civilization in the Americas. Also wrongly about the Americas, "The whole face of the land had become covered with buildings" (Mormon 1:7) including with “fine workmanship… in machinery, and also in iron and copper, and brass and steel, making all manner of tools” (Jarom 1:8; 2 Nephi 5:15) with “silks… oxen… cows… sheep… horses… donkeys… elephants…” (Ether 9:17-19) and "shipping and their building of ships, and of synagogues" and “swords… shields… head-plates… armor…” (Alma 43:18-19; Ether 15:15). None of this is true. * The Lembas: An African tribe, the Lembas, have long been believed to be descendants of the Jews, for they circumcise, keep the Sabbath and the dietary law, and in their DNA they possess the Jewish genetic marker, being perhaps the descendants of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. DNA research shows that American Indians are not related to the Jews, nor closely related to any Semitic peoples or the descendants of Shem, but rather, that they are primarily of Hamitic stock, from Asian people, having migrated to the Americas not by sailing the Atlantic but by crossing the Bering Straight. * Genetics Confirms Actual Biblical Relationships: In contrast to genetic predictions based on the Bible, those based on the Book of Mormon fail. Regarding the origin 4,000 years ago of people groups descended from Abraham, Dr. Jonathan Sarfati quotes the director of the Human Genetics Program at New York University School of Medicine, Dr. Harry Ostrer, who in 2000 said: Jews and Arabs are all really children of Abraham … And all have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots over 4,000 years. This familiar pattern, of the latest science corroborating biblical history, continues in Dr. Sarfati's article, Genesis correctly predicts Y-Chromosome pattern: Jews and Arabs shown to be descendants of one man. * Likewise, Jewish Priests Share Genetic Marker: The journal Nature in its scientific correspondence published, Y Chromosomes of Jewish Priests, by scientists from the University of Arizona, Haifa (Israel's) Technical Institute, and University College of London, who wrote: These Y-chromosome haplotype differences confirm a distinct paternal genealogy for Jewish priests. As expected, genetic science does not reinforce but rather contradicts Mormon claims. The obvious falsehood extends beyond genetics to culture, religion, and history. Contrariwise, because the Judeo-Christian Scriptures are true, mountains of evidence corroborate their historic claims. Regarding Jewish priests, Dr. Sarfati adds to the above that, "These Jews have the name Cohen, the Hebrew for priest, or variants like Cohn, Kohn, Cowen, Kogan, Kagan, etc." and that, "Even today, it is possible to identify the Levites, because they have names such as Levy, Levine, Levinson, Levental..." * If You Fear Obama, You'll Vote for Romney; If You Fear God, You Won't: Don't fear Obama. Fear God, for that is the beginning of wisdom! Besides, Obama is Romney-lite. And because Romney has already implemented policies that are so destructive that Obama only dreams of accomplishing such things, therefore, a vote for Romney is a vote for Obama. Today's Resource: Meet the Apostle John. He was the youngest of the Twelve. And at the time of this writing, he's now one of the last remaining. If you were an eyewitness to Christ's earthly ministry, what would concern you decades after the resurrection? From the battles that John fought we can learn lessons that will help us as we ourselves fight for the truth and battle false teaching within the church. By looking at "the things that differ," we can know what details in John's three epistles applied to the circumcision believers of his day and which of his teachings apply directly to us.

“They will never see their gold again, just as they do not see their own ears.”Josef StalinGold's strength is that its value exists in and of itself. It's nobody else's liability. Unlike money in the bank or a bond, it carries no promise from a third party, and its value is not dependent on the creditworthiness of any issuer or guarantor. Hand it to someone else and its value is transferred. It is a “bearer” asset, effectively owned by whoever has possession of it. For this reason gold has been the target of many a heist. Quickly resmelt it, and its provenance is very hard to prove.So there is one obvious problem with gold: that is keeping it safe. It's all very well having a pot of gold, but if somebody comes along and takes it from you, as Alexander did from the Persians, or the Conquistadors from the Incas, then you're left with nothing at all.When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, the Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, supported the Spanish Republican government. The Nazis supported their opponents, the revolutionary fascist forces led by General Franco. At the time Spanish gold reserves, some 635 tonnes, were the fourth largest in the world.Much of that treasure had been accumulated during WWI, when Spain had stayed neutral. Selling stuff to the British seems to have been the really big earner: 70% of Spanish gold holdings were British sovereigns.With Franco just 20 miles from the capital, the Republicans were on the verge of defeat. Never mind the fascists, there were also rumours that Catalan separatists had hatched plans to take the gold from Madrid to Barcelona. All that gold was at risk.Finance minister, Juan Negrín, and Prime Minister, Francisco Largo Caballero, leant on President Azaña to sign a secret decree to move the gold - some 10,000 cases - to a place “which in his [Negrín's] opinion offers the best security”. Azaña signed and the gold was moved, starting the next day, to Cartajena on the south coast, as far from Franco's armies as possible. The Spanish soldiers who transported the cases thought they were lifting munitions. A fifth of it was then shipped to Marseille where it was traded for French francs, which the Republicans used to fund their side of the war. The rest, 510 tonnes, would be sent to Joseph Stalin in Moscow for safekeeping.Even if Bolshevik sympathisers, what were Negrín and Caballero thinking? The Russians had already demonstrated that they had no qualms about seizing other people's gold. In 1916, the Romanian government sent its treasury of 91 tonnes of gold to Tsarist Russia for safekeeping, worried that it was vulnerable to the Axis powers when Romania had just joined WWI on the side of the Entente. Shortly afterwards, during the Great October Revolution, communists, led by Lenin, seized power, sequestered the gold and refused to give it back. Though small amounts were returned in 1935, 1956, and 2008, “as a gesture of goodwill”, the large majority was retained. As you can imagine, it has been something of a sore spot in diplomatic relations between the two nations ever since.It seems Negrín and Caballero did not know the story. In any case, Caballero actually wrote to Stalin asking if he would “agree to the deposit of approximately 500 tonnes of gold.” Two days later, he got a reply from the Soviet leader, not previously known for his prompt responses. No surprise: Stalin would be “glad” to take the gold.Buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times? The bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Alexander Orlov was the Russian agent in charge of transporting the booty. Negrín gave him fake documents to show he was an US official from the Bank of America, in case he should be stopped. Negrín, who, remember, was finance minister, had thought Bank of America was the US central bank. That would be the Federal Reserve. Russian agent Orlov didn't realise either. It's extraordinary.Four Russian ships came to Cartagena to collect the bounty, and the gold was loaded on. There was a discrepancy of 100 cases between Orlov and Spanish treasurer Mendez Aspe's number: Aspe said 7,800 cases, Orlov 7,900. Orlov said nothing. He reported the discrepancy to his superiors, who told him, “Do not worry about figures. Everything will be counted anew in Moscow. Do not mention your figure to anybody.” Aspe didn't even get a receipt off Orlov (who had been instructed not to give him one). “Don't worry, my friend,” said Orlov, “it will be issued by the State Bank of the Soviet Union, when everything is checked and weighed.” We will never know whether Orlov miscounted or whether those 100 boxes went missing.It took them three nights to load the four ships. The Russians then left Cartagena for Odessa in the Black Sea, escorted by the Spanish as far as Italy. From Odessa it was loaded onto a freight train bound for Moscow. "If all the boxes of gold that we piled up on the wharfs of Odessa were to be placed here side by side,” said one of the officials. “They would completely cover up the Red Square".When the gold arrived in Moscow, Stalin celebrated with a banquet at the Kremlin. “They will never see their gold again”, he laughed. “Just as they do not see their own ears.”The Spanish eventually got their receipt: for 5,619 standard cases and 126 damaged. Some distance below both Aspe and Orlov's figure. But three months later the Russians completed the audit, calculating that the shipments totalled 510 tonnes of gold coins and ingots, 90% pure, thus around 460 tonnes of pure gold. There were gold coins from across Europe and Latin America, especially those British sovereigns and Portuguese escudos, but also Spanish pesetas, French, Swiss and Belgian francs, German marks,, Russian rubles, Austrian schillings, Dutch guilders, and Mexican, Argentine and Chilean pesos. The numismatic value of the coins was higher than their gold content.The following year Spain met with a currency crisis. With exceptional chutzpah, even by the standards of politicians, Republicans blamed the inflation on the free market. Nothing to do with the absence of all that gold!Later, the Franco regime was happy to let the story of the "Moscow gold" stolen by Russia spread, as part of its anti-communist propaganda. And yet it appears sell orders from Negrín were actually carried out in 1937 and 1938, for which Spain received pounds, dollars and francs. Spain also received planes, tanks, machine guns, artillery, rifles, cartridges, food and fuel from Russia. The Soviets demanded some compensation for what they had sent during the war, but it's believed that aside from various expenses, the Soviets did not abuse their position and defraud the Spanish. Ultimately then, most of the gold went, one way or another, on the cost of the civil war. Such is the way with war. It is expensive.And just a couple or three years later, as Nazi forces advanced through Europe, the farce of transporting gold would be repeated many times over, and across the continent.Stories like this fill the pages of The Secret History of Gold (although this one didn't actually make the cut).The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. The book comes out on August 28. This is a public episode.

Genesis 9:8-17Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him, ‘As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.' God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.' God said to Noah, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.' I was worried I'd mess up and say, “The Gospel of the Lord,” when I got done reading that bit from Genesis. I was worried, because that's just what I'm used to saying after reading whatever text it is I'll be preaching on – which is more often than not, something from one of the actual Gospels in scripture. And, even though this bit from Genesis, in the Hebrew scriptures, can't technically be called “the Gospel,” it – as much as anything else in the Hebrew scriptures – reads, sounds, and feels like Gospel good news to me.I mean, it has all the things, right? There's the declaration of a covenant, for all of creation. There's the promise of mercy, love, hope, and redemption. And there's a visible, almost tangible, sign of all of that – not a cross, or an empty tomb, but that bow in the clouds. It seems so very much like the Gospel, if you ask me.It also seems/feels/sounds like “the Gospel” because it's so BIG, so cosmic in scope, which is the way the “primeval mythology” we've been talking about is supposed to work. It addresses the big things … the big picture … in a big way. And you know it's big when the idea of something like a great flood shows up in several other world religions, just like it does in our own.- The most familiar flood narrative – and the one very close to ours in terms of culture and content – is from the Epic of Gilgamesh, where a hero is warned by a god to build a boat in order to survive the coming rains.- Hindus have a flood story, too, where the fishy incarnation of Vishnu warns the first human about a coming flood and instructs him to build a boat.- The Greeks have Zeus send a flood where Deucalion and Pyrrha build a boat, survive, and repopulate the earth by throwing stones behind them.- And there are other flood narratives, too, from the Incas, the Aztecs, the Chinese, Aboriginals, and more.Smarter people than me use the seemingly universal nature of and affinity for such stories as evidence that there really was some sort of global deluge and flood that people of all stripes were trying to make sense of and ascribe meaning to. Other smarter people than me wonder if these stories are evidence of peoples and cultures simply trying to make sense of more localized natural disasters, torrential rains, and terrible floods when they hit – maybe like the tragedy we all watched play out in Texas a couple weeks ago; or the ones that have also threatened and taken lives in New York, Virginia, Washington, and South Korea, lately, too.Whatever the case – cosmic or close to home – it's helpful for me to remind myself that our flood story isn't necessarily about the water, the rain, or the flood. That it's not so much about the length of days, the size of the boat, or the number of which kinds of beasts were on board with Noah and his family. (The guys at the Cross of Grace Brew Club yesterday wanted to be sure I explained how dinosaurs fit onto the ark, why God bothered to save the mosquitos, and something about pigs and bacon, too.) Someone at the “Ark Encounter”– that Noah's Ark museum in northern Kentucky? – will pretend to give you an answer to those questions, but I'm suspicious of their certainty and I'm certainly not willing to pay them for it.Which is to say – again and again and again – the capital-T-TRUTH in these origin stories of our faith isn't found by way of a literal reading of scripture. That is simply not their intention. And again, today's story is not about the details of the flood, the length of days, the size of the boat, or the number of birds, beasts, or brothers on Noah's boat. The Truth we're meant to find in all of that is about the nature of the God we're invited to wonder about – and to encounter – thanks to the telling of this ancient tale.This is a God who calls righteous people to do hard things; impossible things; unreasonably faithful, fearless things for the greater good.This is a God who calls people to respect, care for, and tend to the natural, created world and to humbly revere nature's capacity for beauty and brutality.This is a God who never promises that life will be easy – or without its suffering and struggle and sacrifice. This is true for the sinful and for the righteous. (Just because Noah was chosen and survived, he lost plenty along the way, for sure.)And this is a God who promises that the world's destruction – if or when or should it ever happen again – won't be God's doing; which is our call to faith, hope, and love, in action, if you ask me.To me, that means, if there's to be another flood … or a fire … or a famine – on a cosmic scale or somewhere close to home – where so many lives are lost, it won't be God's fault. So maybe that's a very practical, timely warning to pay attention to global warming. Maybe that's our invitation to wonder about who's at risk or in harm's way – from floods or fires or famines or whatever. And maybe that's our call to look out for and protect our neighbor – and the world around us – rather than to build a boat with only enough room to save ourselves. But I digress…There's a recent trend on social media where parents of my generation ask their children or grandchildren to complete what have been identified as “toxic parenting phrases” that many of us heard often when we were growing up. “Toxic parenting phrases” that, in theory, parents have learned not to use as frequently – if at all – anymore, like they used to.Phrases like “Do as I say, not as I do.”Or, “Children should be seen and not heard.”Or, “If you don't stop crying I'll give you something to cry about.”The point of the exercise is to show how raising kids WITHOUT such negative, “toxic” phrases has changed and is, presumably better, more kind, loving, encouraging, emotionally intelligent, and psychologically healthy.And this seems obvious – and evident – once you hear children from more recent generations who've never heard those “toxic phrases” try to guess at filling in the blanks like many of you all just did so capably.For example, instead of “Children should be seen and not heard,” one young toddler said, “Children should be seen … at school.”Instead of “If you don't stop crying, I'll give you something to cry about,” other kids said, “If you don't stop crying, I'll give you … a hug … or I'll give you something to eat.” Again, a much more emotionally healthy, loving, hopeful way to live as a young child in the world, don't you think?And my favorite one of these – and perhaps the most toxic of them all – is that oldie but goody, “I brought you into this world and I can take you out of it.”How terrible is that if a kid hears if often enough and starts to believe it?!? And we can pretend it's a joke … that it's funny, perhaps … that we or our parents never really meant to follow through on that threat. But that just isn't the case with the popular theology of the God so many have been raised to learn about and to believe in from Genesis.See, too much of the time, that's all and only what we've done with the story of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood.Because as an origin story of our faith … as part of this “primeval mythology” we've been talking about … the other thing this story has in common with other world religions is that their flood stories are often very deliberately connected with the creation stories, too. Just like ours, they first tell of a God who has the power of creation and the power of judgment, punishment, and destruction, too.In other words, the story they tell is nothing more and nothing less than: “God brought us into this world and God can take us out of it.”So what makes Noah's story – our story – so different for us, is that God promises that that won't happen ever again. There's a reminder and a rainbow, remember … there is a covenant and a promise … there is Gospel good news here for all people; for every living creature; for all flesh.And this good news should call us to live differently because of it.Because, on the other side of the flood – on the other side of the cross and the empty tomb of Jesus, too – the waters of the flood become waters of baptism; they become waters of forgiveness, redemption, love, hope, and new life.So, as we share the blessing of that water with Scout Ehle today (and every time we have the chance to share, celebrate, and remember the sacrament) – as we celebrate with his dads and his family – as we promise to pray for, support, and live together with him in this covenant that belongs to us all – I hope that it's a God of grace and good news we're living for, responding to, and sharing – with Scout, with each other, and with the whole wide world – every chance we get.Amen
Virtually all ancient civilisations considered the celestial bodies and their movements of great importance, even incorporating astronomical events into the design of their sacred temples and monuments. The Egyptians, Babylonians, Mesopotamians, Chinese, Incas, Mayans and Aztecs worshipped the sun, moon, and stars. They built splendid sacred monuments that reflected astronomical events associated with the movement of the planets and stars. They were revered as gods to be worshipped and considered vital to people's day-to-day lives. These ancient people believed the stars carried an important message for humanity. Interestingly, these majestic stars do have a message for us today. Join Gary on a journey to some of the most magnificent sacred sites in the ancient world to discover the message of the stars – a message that will hold you spellbound.
La Tertulia de los Viernes con Alejandro Abal, Juan Grompone, Carolina Porley y Ana Ribeiro. *** El pasado martes, 8 de julio, la letra de nuestro Himno Nacional cumplió 192 años. Esta obra del poeta uruguayo Francisco Acuña de Figueroa -autor también del himno de Paraguay- es un producto directo de su tiempo: el siglo XIX, las luchas por la independencia y la necesidad de afirmar una identidad nacional. Está cargada de referencias heroicas, gritos de guerra, llamados al sacrificio, e incluso fragmentos menos conocidos, como evocaciones a Atahualpa, los Incas o los campeones feudales del Cid. A partir de un decreto del 8 de julio de 1833, esa letra que exalta “las glorias de la Patria” pasó a convertirse en uno de los símbolos oficiales del Estado (luego República) Oriental del Uruguay. 15 años después, en 1848, la música compuesta por Francisco José Debali -aunque durante mucho tiempo atribuida también a Fernando José Quijano- terminaría de darle forma al himno tal como lo conocemos y cantamos hoy en ceremonias oficiales, partidos de fútbol o actos escolares. Pero casi dos siglos después, ¿qué representa hoy el Himno Nacional uruguayo? ¿Qué función cumple en nuestra sociedad? ¿Es solo un elemento protocolar o sigue siendo una expresión viva de identidad colectiva? ¿Se entiende lo que se canta? ¿Se siente? ¿Se resignifica?
En Perú, se encontraron piedras grabadas con imágenes que parecen mostrar dinosaurios y tecnología avanzada. Muchos consideran que son falsificaciones modernas, aunque algunos creen que podrían reescribir la historia conocida.

Dans Au coeur de l'Histoire, partez en voyage en Amérique latine, à la rencontre des Incas, l'une des civilisations précolombiennes les plus célèbres. Si l'imaginaire collectif reste imprégné de leurs rites sacrés et de leur architecture, leur histoire a été particulièrement courte. Alors qui étaient les Incas ? Qu'est-ce qui a provoqué la chute de cet Empire dont la civilisation est devenue un mythe ? Pour répondre à ces questions, Virginie Girod reçoit l'historien et archéologue Peter Eeckhout. Spécialiste des Incas, il a notamment publié "Les Incas" aux éditions Tallandier.Distribué par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
Un nuevo estudio de investigadores chilenos y argentinos revela que el pueblo diaguita del norte desértico de Chile, había domesticado a las llamas antes de la llegada de los incas y que los indígenas diaguitas convivían con las llamas desde el año 1100 d. C. Escucha esta y otras historias positivas.
Tras el salto al continente y el dominio sobre los mexicas, los españoles enfrentan su siguiente gran reto. Con Francisco Pizarro al frente serán capaces de sojuzgar al otro gran imperio americano, el de los Incas, convirtiendo su control sobre el territorio en el segundo gran eje de la enorme empresa conquistadora española en el nuevo mundo. Pero el Virreinato de Perú no será el final de la expansión española ni por supuesto el de su imposición brutal en el continente. La aventura de Norteamérica, las incursiones en el Río de la Plata o el paso al Pacífico por el sur (que terminará en el gran logro de la circunnavegación de La Tierra), entre otros muchos hitos, y con nombres como los de Orellana, Coronado, Cabeza de Vaca o Magallanes, irán dibujando el nuevo futuro de un territorio lleno de promesas que dejarán también mucha sangre y sufrimiento en el camino, sobre todo para los habitantes originales. Terminamos hoy esta nueva trilogía de episodios dedicados a la historia del enorme choque de civilizaciones que sufrió América hace cinco siglos.

For millennia, chili peppers have been at the heart of the Americas - long before Columbus set sail, before the Aztecs built their empire, and before the Incas wove them into myth. Originating in what is now Peru and Bolivia, these fiery pods were among the first crops cultivated by humans, shaping the diets, medicine, and rituals of entire civilizations.From the wild “tolerated weeds” of early foragers to the carefully cultivated varieties prized by the Maya and Aztecs, chiles were far more than a seasoning - they were power, tribute, and even punishment. In Incan lore, Brother Chile Pepper was woven into creation myths, while Aztec markets overflowed with dozens of varieties, traded and taxed like gold. When Columbus finally arrived in the Caribbean, he wasn't discovering chiles - he was stumbling upon a centuries-old tradition that had already conquered the New World.Join John and Patrick as they trace the ancient roots of the chile pepper, exploring its sacred role in pre-Columbian societies, its legendary place in Aztec and Incan mythology, and the fateful moment it first crossed the Atlantic. But this is just the beginning - because once Columbus carried chiles back to Spain, their journey was only getting started.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

Na escola, ele pouco se interessou por esportes. Os primeiros anos da vida adulta foram dedicados aos estudos e ao início de uma sólida carreira no mercado financeiro. Enquanto cursava Administração de Empresas na FGV, começou sua trajetória profissional na Indusval Corretora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários, sendo nomeado diretor dois anos depois, em 1973. Foi eleito, por duas vezes, membro do Conselho de Administração da Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo (BOVESPA) e, em outras duas ocasiões, do Conselho de Administração da Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros (BM&F), que também presidiu durante cinco anos. Além disso, foi presidente da Indusval Corretora e do Banco Indusval, posteriormente ocupando os cargos de presidente do Conselho e diretor-superintendente e de co-presidente. Aos 30 anos, começou a participar de enduros e ralis de motocicleta. Sentindo falta de condicionamento físico, passou a correr três vezes por semana. Participou de muitas edições do Enduro da Independência e de ralis como o Cerapió, o Rally dos Incas e o Rally do São Francisco, que posteriormente foi rebatizado como Rally dos Sertões, no qual competiu duas vezes ao lado do filho. Em 1996, sua filha participou da Maratona de Nova York e, ao vê-la cruzar a linha de chegada, decidiu desafiar-se a também percorrer os 42 km. Procurou orientação e, no ano seguinte, lá estava ele, ao lado da filha, participando juntos da maratona mais famosa do mundo. Esse foi o início de uma trajetória que durou quase uma década e o levou a completar 14 maratonas em cidades como Chicago, Londres, Paris, Roterdã, Berlim, entre outras. Após uma cirurgia no tendão de Aquiles, ele ainda correu duas meias-maratonas até enfrentar problemas no joelho. Continuou correndo distâncias curtas e nadando. Para ajudá-lo a manter a forma, em 2015, começou a pedalar. Em 2019, animou-se a participar do percurso curto do famoso GFNY. Nos anos seguintes, participou do L'Étape Brasil e do Giro D'Italia Brasil. Inscrito para a edição de 2023 do GFNY, foi informado que o percurso curto seria cancelado. Resolveu, então, encarar os 138 km e gostou tanto da experiência que retornou em 2024. Seu compromisso com o esporte transcendeu a prática pessoal. Quando presidente da BM&F, conjuntamente com meu amigo e nadador olímpico, Fernando Nabuco, instituiu o Prêmio Ouro Olímpico, recompensando atletas medalhistas com barras de ouro. Posteriormente, fundou o Clube de Atletismo BM&F, que se tornou uma referência nacional e chegou a ter uma centena de atletas, entre eles, personalidades como Maurren Maggi, Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima, Fabiana Murer e Marílson Gomes dos Santos. Conosco aqui, o ciclista amador, diretor-tesoureiro do Projeto Arrastão — uma rede de desenvolvimento humano que durante muitos anos foi comandada por sua esposa, focada em dar suporte às famílias carentes da região do Campo Limpo, em São Paulo — e um apaixonado pelo esporte, o paulistano Luiz Masagão Ribeiro.

Dan Richards aka @DeDunking explains the Ancient Computer Program Found in Inca Temple & More Evidence Of Lost Civilization. From examining controversial theories about the Giza pyramids and ancient vase technology to investigating megalithic construction methods at Sacsayhuamán and Baalbek, we dive deep into the evidence behind lost technological capabilities. Was the Oracle of Delphi's power linked to natural phenomena? Did the Incas develop a sophisticated binary code? Dan shares his research on these questions and more, including new perspectives on the Great Flood narratives, the mysterious Sea Peoples, and the hotly debated Younger Dryas impact theory.

Tonight, my special guest is author Frank Joseph who's here to discuss his research into the coming ice age and how it's tied to the lost city of Atlantis. Reveals the parallels between the rise and fall of Atlantis, cultures in ancient Mesoamerica, and our modern civilization • Links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico, the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar • Reveals the Atlantean and Mayan prophecy of an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal and how we are headed into a destructive phase • Shows how ancient prophecies correlate precisely with the latest climatology studies, the rising incidence of solar flares, and papers from Pentagon and NASA analysts With the passing of the Mayan Calendar's end date we can now focus on the true significance of what the Maya and their predecessors were trying to convey to future civilizations. Frank Joseph reveals how the Mayan prophecy, symbolized by their calendar, was created through the combined genius of Atlantis and Lemuria and predicts an eternal cycle of global creation, destruction, and renewal. He shows how this cycle correlates precisely with scientific studies on glacial ice cores and predictions from the Hopi, the Incas, and the Scandinavian Norse as well as the visions of Edgar Cayce. He links the demise of Atlantis with the birth of the Olmec civilization in Mexico (the progenitors of the Maya), the beginning of the first Egyptian dynasty, and the start of the Mayan Calendar. Drawing on the latest climatology studies and papers from Pentagon and NASA analysts, he reveals that we are on the brink of a destructive phase in the global cycle of change as predicted by the Atlanteans and the Maya. The world's current political, economic, and cultural deterioration is paralleled by unprecedented storms and record temperatures, massive solar flares, tectonic disturbances, and fissuring sea floors that could release dangerous reservoirs of methane gas into the environment--all of which signals we are headed into another ice age. Despite the Atlanteans' greater understanding of the cyclical nature of catastrophes and of the human role in them, Joseph reveals the mistakes they made that played a crucial role in their civilization's destruction. By recognizing the self-destructive patterns of Atlantis in our own civilization, we can learn from their mistakes to reestablish civilization's cosmic balance before time runs out.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio]
Am 21. Februar 1918 stirbt im Zoo von Cincinnati mit Incas der letzte bekannte Karolinasittich. Vier Jahre zuvor starb in dem Käfig bereits ein anderer Endling: Martha, die Wandertaube. Die Dodos auf Mauritius waren da schon längst ausgestorben, ebenso wie die Stellersche Seekuh. In dieser Folge geht es um eine kleine Geschichte des Aussterbens und wie der Mitbegründer der Paläontologie, Georges Cuvier, erstmals wissenschaftlich belegt, dass Arten aussterben und damit den Blick auf die Welt für immer verändert. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG472: Die Antoninische Pest – https://gadg.fm/472 - GAG169: Maos Großer Sprung und die chinesische Hungersnot von 1958–62 – https://gadg.fm/169 - GAG340: Tauben, die Raketen steuern und Kybernetik – https://gadg.fm/340 - GAG474: Eine kleine Geschichte des Zeitreisens – https://gadg.fm/474 - GAG129: Die Entdeckung der Dinosaurier – https://gadg.fm/129 // Literatur - Bernhard Kegel: Ausgestorbene Tiere, 2021. - Martin Rudwick: Georges Cuvier, Fossil Bones, and Geological Catastrophes: New Translations and Interpretations of the Primary Texts, 1997. //Aus unserer Werbung Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?
