यौन शक्ति बढ़ाने के लिए दुश्‍मनों के दिमाग खाता है यह तानाशाह

By - VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

भूमध्यवर्ती गिनी। यहां का सनकी तानाशाह अपनी यौन शक्ति बढ़ाने के लिए कुछ ऐसा करता है जिसे जानने के बाद आपके रोंगटे खड़े हो जाएंगे। एक अंग्रेजी वेबसाइट के अनुसार भूमध्यवर्ती गिनी के 74 वर्षीय राष्‍ट्रपति ट्यूडोरो ओबियांग नूइमा इस देश पर 1979 से शासन कर रहे हैं।

उन्‍हें टॉर्चरर इन चीफ के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। ओबियांग के राष्‍ट्रपति बनने का सफर उनके अंकल के दमन के बाद पूरा हुआ जिनसे ओबियांग ने अपने परिवार की हत्‍या का बदला लिया। सत्‍ता में आने के बाद से ही जिसने भी उनका विरोध किया इस तानाशाह ने उसे खूब प्रताड़‍ित किया।

कुछ लोगों का तो यहां तक कहना है कि उनकी भ्रष्‍टता इससे भी आगे तक है। जो लोग यह दावा करते हैं उनके अनुसार ओबियांग का मानना है कि अपने राजनीतिक विरोधियों को खाने से उनकी यौन शक्ति बढ़ती है। उनके ऐसे ही एक विरोधी सेवेरो मोटो का एक स्‍पेनिश रेडियो में 2004 में इंटरव्‍यू लिया था जिसमें उन्‍होंने कहा था कि 'उन्‍होंने हाल ही में एक पुलिस कमिश्‍नर को चुग लिया है।'

मोटो ने आगे कहा कि मैं इस शब्‍द का उपयोग इसलिए कर रहा हूं क्‍योंकि कमिश्‍नर को जब दफनाया गया तो उनका दिमाग और अंडाकोष गायब थे। वो चाहते हैं में गिनी जाऊं ताकि वो मेरे भी अंडाकोष खा सके। आरोप यह भी लगे हैं कि ओबियांग ने अपने विरोधियों की चमड़ी उनके जिंदा रहते निकलवा दी और उनके दिमाग खा लिए। लेकिन वो इतने समय तक सत्‍ता में रहे हैं तो उन्‍हें लगने लगा है कि उनके पास भगवान जैसी शक्तियां आ चुकी हैं।
नूइमा के एक पूर्व कथित सलाहकार के अनुसार वो किसी को भी कभी भी मारने का निर्णय ले सकते हैं क्‍योंकि वो खुद को भगवान मानते हैं जिनके साथ उनका स्‍थायी संपर्क है और उनसे उन्‍हें उर्जा मिलती है। इस तरह की भी अफवाहें हैं कि वो अब वो प्रोस्‍टेट कैंसर है, हालांकि इसकी पुष्टि नहीं की गई है। उनका 46 वर्षीय बेटा ट्योडोरो नूइमा जो फिलहाल उपराष्‍ट्रपति है उनका उत्‍तराधिकारी बनेगा।

यहां की हर लड़की अपने बॉस को करती है 'किस'

By - VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

अपना बॉस शायद ही किसी को पसंद हो। छुट्टी न देना, बीमारी को छुट्टी का बहाना मानना, हर हालत में टार्गेट को पूरा करवाना, यह लगभग हर बॉस की कहानी है। अगर आप बॉस की इन्हीं हरकतों से दुखी हैं तो आपको यह जानकर बहुत हैरानी होगी कि चाइना में एक ऐसी कंपनी है, जहां काम करने वाली हर लड़की को रोज़ अपने बॉस को किस करना पड़ता है।

इस ऑफिस का नियम है कि हर सुबह लड़कियां अपने बॉस को एक-एक कर के किस करें, ताकि उनके बीच तालमेल बेहतर बना रहे। ये कंपनी शराब की भट्टी बेचती है। यहां के मालिक का कहना है कि उसने बाहर देशों में देखा था कि लोग अगर इस तरह से किस करते हैं, तो वो बेहतर काम कर पाते हैं। एक बॉस और उसके सब-ऑर्डिनेट्स का रिलेशन मछली-पानी की तरह होना चाहिए।

People's Daily, China की खबर के मुताबिक, इस ऑफिस में महिला कर्मचारियों को रोज किस करने के आदेश दिये गये हैं। इस कंपनी में 90 प्रतिशत महिलाएं ही काम करती हैं। इस बेतुके फरमान को वैसे तो सभी ने मान लिया है, बस दो एम्प्लॉयीज ने इसका पालन करने से इंकार कर दिया है, जिसके बाद उन्हें कंपनी से बाहर का रास्ता दिखा दिया गया है।

Astronomers findmassive X-Shaped Structure at the center of our Galaxy

By - VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

A new survey has allowed Astronomers to discover there is a massive X-Shaped Structure sitting at the center of our Galaxy.

It seems that X marks the spot. Astronomers have found a huge X-shaped structure located the center of our galaxy, a fact that was suggested by earlier models but not directly observed until now.

“There was controversy about whether the X-shaped structure existed,” says Dustin Lang, a Research Associate at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of Toronto, and co-author of the paper describing the discovery. “But our paper gives a good view of the core of our own galaxy. I think it has provided pretty good evidence for the existence of the X-shaped structure.”

The results of the study appear in the Astronomical Journal where experts explain their finding.

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy: there are billions of stars grouped in a ‘structure’ of 100,000 light years in diameter. It consists of two spiral arms and a bar-shaped structure that runs strangely through its center. Its far from a simple disk-shaped galaxy.

The central bulge of our Milky Way resembles a rectangular BOX when viewed –as we view it— from within the plane of the Galaxy. Strangely, researchers have found that the X-Shaped structure is an integral component of the galactic bulge of our galaxy.

Astronomers are speculating on two ways that they believe the bulge could have formed. One is that it may have formed in the distant past when our Galaxy, the Milky Way, merged with other galaxies in the vicinity. The other theory proposes that it may have developed without the help of external influences.

Researchers were able to take a peek at the bulge when Land re-analysed data from the WISE space telescope.

“The bulge is a key signature of formation of the Milky Way Galaxy,” says Ness. “If we understand the bulge we will understand the fundamental processes that have formed and shaped our galaxy.”

“The shape of the bulge tells us about how it has formed. We see the X-shape and boxy morphology so clearly in the WISE image, and this demonstrates that internal formation processes have been the ones driving the bulge formation.”

According to experts, the discovery is also evidence that the Milky Way did not experience any drastic merging events ever since the bulge came into existence. If it had undergone significant changes, then these would have drastically disrupted its shape.

“Ness saw the tweet and immediately recognized the importance of the X-shaped structure,” says Lang. “We arranged to meet at an upcoming conference we were both attending. The paper was born from that meeting. That’s the power of extensive surveys and open science!”

Ancient Sumerian Texts: Ancient Clay Tablets reveal secrets about Alien life

By - VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

Among the many ancient Sumerian clay tablets discovered throughout the years, there are certain ancient texts that many believe are the ultimate evidence of  advanced alien civilizations interacting with Early humans.

What if thousands of yers ago before written history, advanced civilizations inhabited Earth? What if the Anunnaki are more than just a myth? And what if there is more to history than what we have been told? 

Without a doubt, one of the most controversial puzzles of mainstream archaeology are the numerous cuneiform tablets discovered in the ruins of Babylon in Southern Mesopotamia where Sir Austen Henry Layard came across a historical treasure in 1849.

Among the various tablets found on the site, there were stories and legends that have an uncanny resemblance to Biblical accounts of Creation, the deities that came to Earth and references of the Great Flood, the Ark, and what many interpreted as descriptions of hybrid humans and mighty Gods.

In order to understand what these texts are actually talking about, researchers have spent decades trying to understand and translate these intricate symbols.

The Sumerian language is considered to be a language isolated in linguistics that does not seem to belong to any known linguistic form. Its unique, just as the ancient Sumerian history and mythology.

Researchers have studied the ancient Sumerian language and tried making connections to other groups of languages but without success.

The Sumerians invented the pictorial hieroglyphics that later transformed into cuneiform writing. Together with the ancient Egyptian writing system, the ancient Sumerian can compete in a race for the oldest known written language.

The Sumerians are considered by many as the creators of our civilized world, those who introduced the first steps of our modern-day lives.

It is also known that the ancient civilizations which flourished in Mesopotamia fell in love with the cosmos and introduced the universe as an imperative part in their everyday life.

However, is there a real connection between the ancient Sumerians and ‘Extraterrestrial Gods –alien beings?

The idea that ancient civilizations interacted in one way or another with advanced extraterrestrial civilizations come from researchers and author Zecharia Sitchin, who introduced what is today known as the Ancient Astronaut (Alien) Theory.

Are the Ancient Anunnaki the missing link in our amnesic history?

In his numerous works, Sitchin attributed the start of the ancient Mesopotamian Society to race of extraterrestrial beings known as the Ancient Anunnaki, who came to Earth from a distant planet in our solar system called ‘Nibiru.’

However, the nature and origin of the Anunnaki are highly debated among researchers around the globe. Among many, the Anunnaki are considered metaphors of creationalistic myths, but the stories about the Anunnaki can be found in numerous other ancient texts, among them the Book of Genesis both in Hebrew and Christian Religions, only with their names altered or changed.

In fact, the creation of ‘heaven and Earth’ from ‘a watery abyss’ to man being created in a ‘Gods’ image and even popular stories as Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, all of these go further back in time than what many people know. But if these ancient texts are far older than religious books like the Bible, what elements of these ‘tales’ are true? And what is considered myth in nature?

Many people around the globe have concluded that the Anunnaki and Planet Nibiru are real. In fact, many claim that the Anunnaki are a powerful race of extraterrestrial beings who genetically modified early humans in the distant past, in order to create a slave species on Earth. Some even refer to compelling evidence that suggests these stores are real pointing to the catastrophic global deluge that occurred some 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

This cataclysm could have accounted for a significant loss of human lives and could have essentially hit the reset button on ancient humans as they were forced to start over from scratch.

But if the Ancient Anunnaki were here in the past, where are they now? If mankind is the result of genetic manipulations by a highly advanced alien species, wouldn’t the ‘makers’ remain in touch with their creation?

Many people point to the numerous ancient cultures around the globe like the Ancient Egyptians, Inca, Maya, Aztecs and other cultures in Africa, Asia, and North America which share a common story where ‘the creator gods’ who came from the sky or traveled to the sky, are set to return one day.

Winged figure from the palace of Sargon of Akkad, in Assyria

According to the research done by Sitchin, the Anunnaki “evolved after Nibiru entered the solar system and first arrived on Earth probably 450,000 years ago, looking for minerals, especially gold, which they found and mined in Africa. Sitchin states that these “gods” were the rank-and-file workers of the colonial expedition to Earth from planet Nibiru.”

This theory, however, has been firmly rejected and categorized as preposterous by numerous academics and peer reviewed scholars ever since it was mentioned.

Interestingly, recent discoveries in numerous fields like archaeology, biology, genetics, and history, point to the fact that even though we have been holding on tightly on to mainstream history, the truth is that there are many missing links that the same academics and peer reviewed scholars have not been able to account for.

We have to look no further than the Ancient Sumerian King List, which describes how Gods ruled and lived on Earth: “After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years.”

Maybe this is the missing link each and every single one of us has been trying to find, in order to decipher the many enigmas behind our origins and human history.

25 Facts about Leonardo da Vinci

By - VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

Leonardo da Vinci, was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. He is considered one of the most brilliant minds the world has ever known. His visions and deeds were far beyond of those of men in his time and most of our technology can be credited to him; he is known as a universal genius. Here we have a few things you should know about this genius:

Even though he is more commonly know as just Leonardo da Vinci, his full name is Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci.Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 Vinci, Republic of Florence present-day Italy, and he died on May 2, 1519 aged 67 in
Amboise, Kingdom of France.Even thought he was an inventor way ahead of his time, Leonardo da Vinci was and is, renowned primarily as a painter.Leonardo’s most famous painting of the 1490’s is considered to be the The Last Supper; many claim that there are hidden meanings inside this painting. It is also considered the most reproduced religious painting of all time.Leonardo’s earliest known drawing is believed to be the Arno Valley, 1473.One of his most famous drawings is perhaps that of the Vitruvian Man which is also regarded as a cultural icon used in literature, coins and merchandise.  The drawing of theVitruvian Man and text that accompanies it are sometimes referred to as the Canon of Proportions or, Proportions of Man.Even though he invented numerous utilities and machines some of the most important inventions were the flying machines, armored vehicle, concentrated solar power, an adding machine.He made important discoveries in anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics but for some reason never decided to publish his papers.The Annunciation is one of Leonardo’s most mysterious paintings, even though he did not start it, Leonardo finished the painting. The mysterious part is attributed to the fact that when analyzed under x-rays, the Angel that Leonardo painted becomes… invisible.Few people know that Leonardo has a “gap” in his life; between 1476 to 1478; when he was just beginning to come into prominence, Leonardo da Vinci vanished without a trace, no one knows about his whereabouts during that time.After returning from his mystery trip; Leonardo produced aerial maps of Italian cities with an incredible accuracy.It was after this time when he designed the first self-propelled vehicle.From 1513 to 1516 Leonardo began performing an act that– during the time– was a crime punishable by death: the dissection of human corpses, and he did that in the Vatican. The Vatican had these great catacombic depths, they were very cool places, and he took advantage on that and knew that it would be an ideal place to  dissect a body without losing it to decomposition.It is known that a number of autopsies were performed in the Vatican and  under the nose of the Pope; the irony right?He was smart, ahead of his time. In the 36 months that Leonardo da Vinci spent at the Vatican, he documented dozens of dissections with incredible detail, but in order to keep his work secret, his notes on human anatomy were recorded in code, using mirror writing. Click here if you want to see how mirror writing works.He was obsessed with the Mona Lisa painting. He spent over 16 years working on the smallest details of this relatively small portrait of, what is thought to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo.Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Arundel can be found in the British Library.Leonardo rarely wrote about his personal life. Leonardo da vinci recorded only two childhood incidents; when a kite dropped from the sky and hovered over his cradle, its tail feathers brushing his face and while he was exploring in the mountains: he discovered a cave and was both terrified that some great monster might lurk there.Leonardo da Vinci was left handed,that created a problem when it comes to writing back then as the hand crossed the page it would smudge the still wet text.Leonardo basically invented the modern day weaponry that our military uses today.It is no surprise that Leonardo had incredible drawings of machines capable of flight since, for much of his life, da Vinci was fascinated by the phenomenon of flight, producing many studies of the flight of birds, including his c. 1505 Codex on the Flight of Birds.Even though Leonardo da Vinci drew the parachute he did not invent it as the oldest parachute design actually appears in an anonymous manuscript that dates to the 1470s in Renaissance Italy.Leonardo managed to make over 240 detailed drawings and wrote about 13,000 words towards a treatise on anatomy. This was mostly thanks to formal training in the anatomy of the human body while he was an apprentice to Andrea del Verrocchio.Leonardo da Vinci created the first mechanical robot(s); he constructed the Mechanical knight and th

20 Facts about Akhenaten

By - VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

Akhenaten was one of ancient Egypt’s most influential and controversial pharaohs. He is considered one of the world’s most important religious innovators. He was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty and he was the father of  Tutankhamun, husband to Queen Nefertiti.

Don’t forget to check out our article ” Akhenaten, the heretic Pharaoh” Here are some interesting facts about this controversial Pharaoh.

He was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt and ruled for 17 years.
Akhenaten was known as the “great heretic”.Early on in his reign he was known asAmenhotep IV, but he changed his name to Akhenaten to reflect his close link with the new supreme deity of his making.Akhenaten was married to Queen Nefertiti, one of the most famous of all ancient Egyptian women.Nefertiti was one of the most influential queens. Paintings show her conducting religious ceremonies with Akhenaten as an equal.Nefertiti’s mummy was never found. Archaeologist June Fletcher claimed she found Nefertiti’s badly-mutilated mummy in a side chamber of the Tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of the Kings. Most scholars are not convinced.Akhenaten elevated Nefertiti to divine status. Scholars suggest that she may have been only 12 when married to Akhenaten.Akhenaten halted foreign military campaigns and dramatically scaled down Egypt’s military defenses.He is noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten.Akhenaten claimed, “There is only one god, my father. I can approach him by day, by night.”Akhenaten could have been the first monotheist in all of history. According to Egyptian Mythology he descended from the gods who arrived on Earth at the time of Tep Zepi.Even today people still believe that this Pharaoh did in fact come from “The Stars”.Akhenaten, upon becoming Pharaoh ordered all the, the iconography of previous gods to be removed.According to writings by Akhenaten and poems that were written about him later on, he was visited by beings that descended from the sky, these beings told Akhenaten what he needed to do and how he needed to rule over his people.Akhenaten claimed to be a direct descendant of Aten and regarded himself to be divine and was himself a God, but not only did he believe himself to be a god, the whole nation worshiped him like one.Akhenaten ordered the construction of a new capital city which he called Amarna and he dedicated it to the sun.Akhenaten instituted changes in art and culture and one of the most notable changes was how he would be publicly depicted, not as a strong “untouchable” Pharaoh, but as he really was, “weak” , elongated skull, long neck, sunken eyes, thick thighs, long fingers, backward-turned knee joints, a potbelly and female-like breasts.After his reign the city of  Amarna was abandoned and temples to the sun were destroyed, images of Akhenaten were deliberately defaced.In 1907, the actual body of Akhenaten was discovered in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Edward Ayrton.

Ulfberht – The Sword made with technology from the future

It was a sword that dominated the battlefield across different regions in Europe, it was a sword a thousand years ahead of its time, built by a mysterious craftsman. Even though it was used by many nations it is a Sword that was attributed to the Vikings and used from about 800 to 1100 AD, it was a masterpiece built from pure steel and wasn’t seen again in Europe for at least a thousand years. It was the Roles Royce of its time and it was used by only a few select warriors.

Why these swords have the inscription of Ulfberht is still an enigma as it does not appear in written texts from that time, it could have been the name of the place it was produced, or it could have been added to to sword to provide proof of authenticity, giving out a statement saying; this is the real sword. So far, dozen of forty-four examined Ulfberht swords are proven to be made entirely of crucible steel, though some of the knock-offs are of pretty good quality. The fact that Ulfberht swords appear for over two hundred years, proves that they were not produced by a single craftsmen. According to recent research scholars believe that Ulfberht was in fact a Frankish name.

The cross present on the Ulfberht swords might suggest a connection with the Roman catholic church, as in the middle ages the church dominated the Frankish Empire. It is known that the church was a major producer and dealer of weapons. The Greek cross placed before the name was was a practice only used by bishops and abbots so the name Ulfberht might have been the name of a bishop, abbot or even a monastery.

Dating showed that the swords were very famous in European battlefields and that they were produced over a period of two hundred and fifty years or more — from 850 – 1100 AD which makes researchers believe that Ulfberht was in fact one of the most ancient trademarks, a sign of quality. In Ancient Times Iron Smith’s goal was steel that could strike a hard object and neither bend nor shatter, steel that could hold a sharp edge.

Thousands of Ulfberht swords were found across Europe, most of them found in rivers or-or excavated from Viking burials across Europe and Scandinavia but only around 170 Swords are proven to be the real Ulfberht swords. These ancient masterpieces of weaponry have been buried for centuries and are only corroded skeletons of what they were once.

Smelted Iron was normally used to forge weapons and armor for thousands of years, Iron on its own it too soft to yield a strong weapon that why sword-makers would add carbon from coal or charcoal which hardens the metal and turns it into steel. Typical Viking age swords had low carbon in their characteristics and had a large amount of impurities or slag, a non-metallic part of the ore which was not separated and which weakens the metal.

Blacksmiths across Europe were not able to create Slag-free-steel because their fires were simply not hot enough to liquefy the iron. Today we achieve that by heating the metal to over three thousand degrees which accurately removes slag and allows more carbon to be added.

Comparison between the Steel used in the Ulfberht steel and commonly used steel in the Medieval Era

In the Viking age it was very hard to add coal to the iron so it was done incidentally through fire, and the only way to remove the slag from the metal was to try and hammer out impurities. Researchers believed that the thousands of swords found across the European continent were made from this inferior steel until Dr. Alan Williams, ConsultantArchaeometallurgist at the Wallace Collection, analyzed the Ulfberht sword.

Research showed incredible similarities between the steel of the Ulfberht and modern day objects made from steel with a carbon content of up to three times more that the average medieval steel.This places the Ulfberht sword, at least, a thousand years ahead of its time. The metal used in the Ulfberht swords is today known as crucible steel;  a term that applies to steel made by two different methods in the modern era. It is made by melting iron and other materials in a crucible and pouring the molten metal into a mold. Crucible steel was produced in South and Central Asia during the medieval era. . Wikipedia

At that time, when the Ulfberht sword were produced, no one in Europe knew how to melt Iron at extreme temperatures for centuries, in fact, Crucible steel wasn’t around in Europe until the Industrial revolution in the 18th century, so how did the Vikings manage to get a hold of this advanced technology? The vikings were advanced in many ways, not only were they fearless warriors, they were highly skilled traders and navigators believed to have reached the Americas and Asia.

The Volga trades route

Swordsmiths across Asia produced the greatest swords in human history, one of the examples is theDamascus steel which has similar chemical compositions to the metal composition of the Ulfberht swords.  Many artifacts were discovered in modern day Scandinavia that originated from Asia, India and other Eastern parts of the World.

Islamic coins were commonly traded in Scandinavia. According to researchers most of the Ulfberht swords date almost to the same time when the Volga Trade route was opened,  from about 800 to 1100 AD. Scholars believe that the Iron used in the Ulfberht swords actually originated from modern day Iran. Researchers suggest that vikings acquired the need material from friendly merchants in exchange of Scandinavian commodities such as furs.

The Volga trade route lost its importance by the 11th century due to the decline of silver output in the Abbasid caliphate, and thus, the trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks, which ran down the Dnieper to the Black Sea and the Byzantine Empire, gained more weight

This is the World’s largest PYRAMID, and it’s hidden inside a MOUNTAIN

By- VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

The massive pyramid, hidden from sight has a base four times the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. In size, this Pyramid is compared to NINE Olympic-sized swimming pools. Researchers have no idea who built this massive structure, but legends say it was erected by Giants.

While the Great Pyramid of Giza is a marvelous ancient structure which rightly holds the name of the Great Pyramid of Egypt, it isn’t the ‘greatest’ pyramid out there.

In fact, there are numerous other massive pyramids scattered across the globe which, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, is proof of ancient man’s ingenuity and ability.

For hundreds of years this massive pyramid located in Mexico remained hidden from sight deep inside a mountain. Hidden from society, covered by grass, trees and deep layers of soil, the Great Pyramid of Cholula is considered the most massive monument EVER built on the surface of our planet.

It is so huge that the Great Pyramid of Giza looks like an easy construction.

With a base for times the size of the Pyramid of Giza, the Great Pyramid of Cholula is truly an impressive feat achieved in the distant past.

On top of the massive pyramid, Spanish conquistadors led by Hernan Cortes, built a small church not knowing that beneath it was a massive Pyramid like no other on Earth.

In fact, it wasn’t until 1910 that the Great Pyramid of Cholula was discovered.

According to archaeologists, the Pyramid of Cholula was located in the vicinity of Tenochtitlan, one of the most important ancient cities –and capital—of the Ancient Aztec Empire.

The massive Pyramid located in modern-day Puebla is 450 meters wide and 66 meters tall and is compared to the size of NINE Olympic-sized swimming pools. In other words, it is MASSIVE.

Interestingly, according to researchers, not only is the Great Pyramid of Cholula the LARGEST pyramid on the planet, it is believed to be the largest monument built to date.

The Great Pyramid of Cholula is called by locals, Tlachihualtepetl, which translated means ‘man-made mountain.’ Interestingly, due to the fact that a church was built by Spanish explorers in the past, it is considered as the oldest continuously occupied structure in Central America.

The exact age of the massive pyramid remains an enigma, but according to researchers, when Hernan Cortez and his troops arrived in Mexico the Great Pyramid of Cholula was already thousands of years old, overgrown by vegetation.

However, there are some who believe that the Great Pyramid was so sacred and important to the ancient Cholula people that they covered the Pyramid with soil on purpose in order to hide it from the Spanish Conquistadores.

However, if the mere size of the Great Pyramid of Cholula isn’t fascinating, then the fact that this structure isn’t a single pyramid but six structures built on top of each other surely must be.

There are still many mysteries about the Pyramid. Researchers estimate that the structure grew in different stages as diverse ancient civilizations improved various parts of it.

Researchers estimate that the Great Pyramid of Cholula was erected sometime around 300 BC, but by who remains one of the central enigmas surrounding the monument.

According to ancient legends, a giant being built this massive structure.

Speaking to BBC.com, David Carballo, an archaeologist at Boston University, Massachusetts says ‘It appears to have been multi-ethnic, with a great deal of migration.’

इन उपायों से शनिदेव के साथ हनुमानजी भी प्रसन्‍न होंगे व पूरी होगी कई मनोकामनाएं

By- VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

शनि देव को शांत करने के लिए हनुमान जी की अराधना की जाती है तथा कुछ छोटे-छोटे उपाय कर शनि के प्रकोप से मुक्ति पाई जा सकती है।

धर्म में आस्था रखने वाले सभी लोग भगवान हनुमान जी को संकटमोचन मानते हैं वहीं भगवान शनिदेव को गलती की सजा देने वाला माना जाता है। इन दोनों ही देवताओं का भगवान शिव के साथ गहरा संबंध है। शिव पुराण के अनुसार हनुमान जी को ग्यारवां रूद्र माना जाता है और शनिदेव भगवान शंकर के परम भक्त और चेले भी हैं। भगवान शंकर ने ही शनि देव को संसार का न्यायाधिश होने का कार्य दिया है परंतु न्याय करते समय शनि देव व्यक्ति के कर्म अनुसार उससे अत्यधिक पीड़ित कर देते हैं।

साढ़ेेसती में हनुमान जी पर चमेली का तेल चढ़ाने से साढेेसती में राहत मिलती है। 8 बरगद के पत्ते हनुमान जी पर काले धागे में पिरोकर चढ़ाने से शनि बाधा से मुक्ति मिलती है। हनुमान जी पर लौंग लगा पान का बीड़ा चढ़ाने से शनि द्वारा जनित दुर्भाग्य समाप्त होता है। हनुमान जी पर कागजी बादाम चढ़ाकर आधे बादाम काले कपड़े में बांधकर घर की दक्षिण दिशा में छुपा कर रखने से शनि का कोप शांत हो जाता है।

The secret code of the number three

By- VIIVVEK SHHARMAA VASSHISHTHHA

Throughout human history, the number three has always had a unique significance, but why?

If we look back in history at ancient mankind, no matter which culture we observe the number three has always been present, of extreme importance.

What is it about the number three that makes it so important that it is present in religion, architecture, mathematics and many other parts of humanity.

According to myth, the destiny of gods and men is controlled by all-powerful beings known as the Three Fates. Various cultures across the world have long shared a belief that the number three represents something sacred, mystical, universal and divine.

In the sixth century BC, Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras introduced his famous theorem:  A squared + B squared = C squared. Pythagoras formula explains the mathematical relationship between the three sides of right triangles, and researchers worldwide believe it was originally based on the design of the Egyptian pyramids. according to research, Pythagoras studied with the ” great teachers of Egypt” and it is he who brought the knowledge and wisdom from Egypt to Greece, giving birth to Greek Philosophy.

The theorem of Pythagoras makes reference to a right-angled triangle such as that shown in Figure 1. The side opposite the right-angle is the longest side and is called the hypotenuse.

Figure 1. A right-angled triangle with hypotenuse shown.

What the theorem says is that the area of the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides. Figure 2 shows squares drawn on the hypotenuse and on the two shorter sides. The theorem tells us that area A + area B = area C.

Figure 2. A right-angled triangle with squares drawn on each side.

If we denote the lengths of the sides of the triangle as a, b and c, as shown, then area A = a², area B =b² and area C = c². So, using Pythagoras’ theorem we get the following:

For Pythagoras, and for a lot of ancient philosophers, mathematics was the way something supernatural could be explained. Many scientists and inventors, including Nikola Tesla gave extreme importance to the number three. Pythagoras taught that everything in the universe has a three-part structure, he also stated that every problem in the universe could be reduced diagrammatically to a triangle and the number three.

To Pythagoras and his followers, the triangle represented ascension, and the triangle and number three, according to them is the key to all hidden mysteries in the universe. But Pythagoras was not the first to discover the importance of the number three. Pythagoras received the knowledge from the Egyptians, and they claimed that their knowledge came directly from the “Gods”, beings that did not come from Earth, so in this case the Egyptians received this information by Extraterrestrial beings –  “Gods”.

Pythagoras is really the first one to spread this knowledge outside of Egypt, and basically,begin to speak to the world about what it is, sacred or divine knowledge that came from the “Gods”.  It is a fact that the Pythagorean triangle may contain wisdom that we still haven’t understood in terms of how physical – terrestrial geometry can connect to otherworldly domains that possibly coexist with our own.

The DNA Code

All living organisms are dependent on three types of very large molecules for essentially all of their biological functions. These molecules are DNA, RNA and proteins, and are classified as biological macromolecules. Without DNA, RNA and proteins, no known forms of life could exist. The simple summary is that DNA makes RNA, and then RNA makes proteins.

In 1966 scientists announced the greatest breakthrough in of science. they successfully deciphered the Genetic Code. After years of research scientists discovered that the structure of the DNA consists in a series of three molecule combinations known as triplets. The genetic code consists of three-letter ‘words’ called codonsformed from a sequence of three nucleotides (e.g.ACT, CAG, TTT). This makes the number three very important as you can say that it represents the key to our existence, the key to understand the complex DNA language.

DNA is a nucleic acid; alongside proteins and carbohydrates, nucleic acids compose the three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life.

The Three Great Pyramids – The Giza Plateau

Constructed more than 4,000 years ago these monuments are arguably the most recognizable in the world and they employ the most magnificent use of triangle in architecture, the simplest most “perfect” geometric form. The Ancient Egyptian civilization is perhaps one of the first civilizations on earth to have used geometry, math and architecture and combined them in a specif and elaborate way. This combination allowed them to construct monuments that archaeology and science have trouble explaining.

The triangle  is one of those basic archetypal shapes that perhaps is hardwired into the human consciousness, and this may find expression in monuments such as the pyramids.

The secret code of the number three and alchemy

Latin text of the Emerald Tablet, from De Alchimia, Chrysogonus Polydorus, Nuremberg 1541

One of the most influential scientists of the 17th century was Isaac Newton. Newton introduced what became the basis of all modern physics: the threelaws of motion, but what many people don’t know is the fact that Isaac Newton was an extremely mystic person and extremely interested in alchemy. Found among his documents about philosophy, astronomy and mathematics a translation of an ancient document called “the emerald tablet” also known as the Smaragdine Table, or Tabula Smaragdina which has fascinated alchemists for hundreds of years. It is believed that this tablet is one of the several that contained information on the practice of alchemy and the secrets of the universe.

It is said that the emerald tablets contain the entire knowledge of the universe. The ancient wisdom of transmutation, the secrets of the cosmos and longevity and according to researchers these tablets were discovered in the Great Pyramids thousands of years ago. But it is one phrase written in one of the tablets that has drawn my attention: “Three is the great mystery, come from the great one”, so basically it is the number three what connects the universe and the cosmos.

Wisdom, consciousness awareness, and power all come from the interplay of the number three.

If anybody were to obtain this knowledge, that person would become the master of life, a master over death, some sort of supernatural being, a super human that could practically do anything.

Newton’s translation

A translation by Isaac Newton is found among his alchemical papers that are currently housed in King’s College Library, Cambridge University.

Tis true without lying, certain & most true.That which is below is like that which is above & that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thingAnd as all things have been & arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.Its force or power is entire if it is converted into earth.Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.It ascends from the earth to the heaven & again it descends to the earth & receives the force of things superior & inferior.By this means, you shall have the glory of the whole world& thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing.So was the world created.From this are & do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (or process) is here in this. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole worldThat which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished & ended.

There are three great divine energies in the Hindu imagination involved in the creation story

Shiva as a householder with wife Parvati as depicted in an 1820 Rajput painting.

The great God Brahma is the one that creates all things, Vishnu is the on who maintains reality, and Shiva is in charge of destruction.  You cannot have renewal, you cannot have continued growth without the destructive energy. So basically these 3 “Gods” maintain a certain balance.

In Hinduism, Shiva is often pictured with a trident, the prongs representing his three fundamental powers: will, action and knowledge. He is also often illustrated as having a third eye in the middle of his forehead. With that eye, he can see things. He has clairvoyance.

Shiva is depicted as having a third eye, right in the middle in his forehead, between the two eyes. It is said that when his “third eye” opens, it radiates enormous amounts of energy, and everything becomes clear, in someway he enters into harmony with the cosmos, becoming in par with the cosmic frequency, perfect harmony. We also find that many other cultures in ancient India and Asia depict creatures with a third eye so this is anything but uncommon in that part of the world. It is said to be the center of one’s spiritual power.

Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome forms. At the highest level Shiva is limitless, transcendent, unchanging and formless. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash, as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya and in fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also regarded as the patron god of yoga and arts.

In the practices of Freemasonry there is a recurring notion that two sides can only find balance by adding a third one, a so to speak central structure and that central structure is often depicted as the “third eye”.

The most spectacular collection of Buddhist cave art in the world and the number three

The most spectacular collection of Buddhist cave art in the world is located at the shores of the Yi river where we can find over 1300 ancient caves knows as the Longmen Grottoes which date back to around 493 AD. One of the largest of the over 100,000 stone statues at the site is of the Amitabha Buddha or the Buddha of Infinite Light. He is flanked on either side by his two assistants, and collectively they are known as the Three Saints of the West. These guiding figures represented are exceptional examples of the power of three manifesting in a sacred and yet mystical way, teaching, helping one to a greater level of consciousness, balance and harmony.

In Mahayana Buddhism, the three guides are Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, and his two companions, one representing wisdom and one compassion. But it doesn’t really matter where we decide to look, because as far as we know, every time we look into ancient mankind’s history, gods would often appear as a threesome where all three parts are necessary to obtain balance and harmony.

In a former life, Amitabha Buddha was believed to have been a king who renounced his kingdom through a series of vows. And these vows were to create a pure Buddha Land and according to research the Western Pure land was thought to exist outside of the “normal” confines of time and space.

The secret code of the number three and the biblical magi or “The three wise men”

The journey of the Three Wise Men is perhaps one of the most popular and best known stories concerning the birth of Jesus Christ yet little is actually known about these mysterious “three wise men“. According to the Gospels the Three Kings, or the Three Wise Men, came from the east and at that time that was an area of the world which for Westerners was considered to be the source of all magic and mysticism, it was a “obscure” region.  The Magi were the ancient priesthood of Persia and their history can be traced back as far as 2000-3000 BC. These individuals, the magi, were extremely interested in astronomy and the movement of the celestial objects, they were astronomers and according to history, the three wise man traveled thousands of miles to reach “the holy land” and they found Bethlehem without a map, only following a star.  As we discussed in earlier posts where we talked about the Three wise men, it is told that this “star” that lead them to Bethlehem actually moved in a way that we know that star do not move, with inconsistent movement in the sky.  o we have to ask, what was this object that lead them to the birthplace of Jesus Christ?

The three gifts that the “Three Kings” offered to Jesus Christ were gold, representing all the material needs the child would need throughout his life, Frankincense which is an ancient aromatic resin which when burned is apparently effective in mind expansion and enlightenment and Myrrh which is ancient oil associated with death and embalming representing the afterlife. But the question here is why only these three gifts?

There is a theory that the key to unlocking the power of the number three lies in the mystery of theHoly Trinity, that the notion of  three divine persons in one god refers to the three states of being.

God the Father the intellectual self.God the Son the physical self.God the Holy Spirit the aspirational self.

What makes the number three so important that it is present in mathematics, philosophy, religion, engineering and practically everything else? The number three has fascinated mathematicians, philosophers, builders and alchemists among others. Is the number three a divine number? Is it really a gateway to a higher level of consciousness? Let us know what you think!
