It's actually quite interesting. The author, a Muslim scholar, wrote in the introduction that the purpose of the book was to provide working knowledge of magic in order to aid in combating it. He claims his goal was to inform people about the workings of magic so they may better defend themselves against it. Magic itself is forbidden by God. God's reasoning being that if you want something you should ask him for help rather than going through the roundabout way of putting your hope in magic, which in the end only works through his will anyway. It's all quite fascinating.

An amazing discovery!  In particular, I was intrigued by the photos of the coins showing very minimal oxidation of the Copper and Silver – both very reactive metals.  I wish the article detailed the setting in which the cache was found – it must have been an extremely restrictive environment with a low Oxygen content and unsubjected to water.  Otherwise, in conjunction with the coins being in contact with the leather pouch, the Copper coins would show a much thicker coating of the green Hydroxide crust, and the Silver coins would have developed a thick black Oxide crust.  I was also surprised by the lack of ion-replacement one would expect from Cu-Ag contact in an acidic environment – but perhaps the selected photos just didn’t include that evidence. 

Any information on the Mormon claim that they peopled the new world?

Firstly your "ARAMAIC" is complete BS. Aramaic is based off Hebrew as (like Yiddish is today) and actually is a COMMAND stated in the "Future tense".

בראש'ת ברא אלהים

"In The Beginning CREATED ELOHIM" is what the bible actually says, and the (second word) word BahRey is the word for created. (second word)

KI means Because or THAT as in >> THAT I SAID IT. eg: Like you would tell a child to "Clean their room".

So the actual meaning is a command *TO* "Create" "because" " I said to create"

Because the last word is a clever combination of 2 words DaBeRR and Boreh

Boreh and Barah are interchangeable if you simply replace the vowel points (nikudot).

Daber == Said
Boreh == Create

Abarah ki Dab-boreh phonetically.

Spoken Hebrew has been around since the time of Abraham (at least) and that was approx 4000 years ago.

My guess is that your "guest writer" is Italiano and a staunch supported of the RCC and if you have ever read the dead sea scrolls, you will note that the majority of translations were done by Catholic priests AND these translations are so full of mistakes you must wonder if these supposedly learned translators were either blatantly stupid or deliberately lying when they did the translations.

Any half baked Rabbi could have told you that the info above is crapppppppp.

Given the paintings and the sculptures and the quite plausible stories, also tied in with the FACT that after Joan, a special “chair” was designed in which the newly elected pope would ‘sit’ to be viewed from beneath, to assure it was a male, then I think we can safely say that 500 years from now, some archaeological periodical will be presenting an article about legends and stories concerning rampant sexual abuse of young males on the part of the clergy, back in the 20th century. Of course, there will be little evidence by then, and no one will be able to name their sources. It’ll all be chalked up to folklore or ‘protestant concoctions’ to defame the ‘holy see’.

Very informative.

Irregular-shaped blocks were used in these constructions because in earthquakes different shapes and sizes of stones limit the spread of vibrations to the stones around them. In uniform brickwork like our own, if the vibrations reach a given frequency, they will transmit across the whole structure because the frequency which vibrates one brick vibrates them all, and it is much more likely to collapse it.

The weakness in our brickwork would be the mortar which would probably crumble first, and perhaps that's why they dispensed with mortar altogether and made the stones fit tightly.

We think of life in terms of all we can see, There are things at work in this world beyond human perceptions. We have been taught what is 'normal' since before we learnt to read and write and the average ego wont accept anything out of this norm. We have also been kept busy with distractions, like chasing money, wealth and power so we dont sit back and question anything. We are fed chemicals like fluoride, and pharma medications, let alone FDA approved ones that are in almost every food you can buy now. We are being controlled by corporations who spend big dollars on ways to control us, that can afford to do it, because we pay them to.

This would require a mass “disruption of ordinary human existence,” Any kind of evolution for the human race revolves around this. Advancing our technology isnt human evolution, advancing our weapons, our tools, 'conquering' other planets/moons isnt evolving. Perhaps the ordinary human existence was disrupted a long time ago, and here we are today.

The divine is within, if you dare to look hard enough, those with power in this world, only have it because theyve fooled the rest of us into believing that 'power' is real.

What does levitation have to do with the divine? High level of consciousness and being yes, but if a human is able to levitate surely s/he is able to do this with his own mental and physical faculties and capacities, like s/he would be able to do other things like walk, talk and write.
