    Look at all the clues around us from those statues to sumerian tablets to statues of serpents to the dragons on the bridge of london with knights templar the royal families being Blue Bloods or reptilians or Lizards , the Bible Revelation "the Great Dragon original serpent called devil and Satan" how many ancient civilizations worshipping the Dragon or the serpent stories,paintings st. Wolfgang and the devil. There is so much symbolism of the reptilian aliens all around from Hollywood,Video Games, comic books (spiderman curt connoers) it's ridiculous people gotta wake up and see the symbolism, the clues all around us the truth is never What It Seems. The government's Millions on millions of top-secret files should be enough common sense for people to wonder what is really going on..

    EEZ

    Part I of 2)
    Historical ownership is not a determining factor in modern history, for example if that was the case then native americans can claim back their territories in North America.

    UNCLOS is only an agreement between parties, it may be amended if it doesn't work. It in fact has problem areas, such as assigning an EEZ disproportionate to a land feature, wherein the EEZ area far exceeds the land area that generates the EEZ.

    The present issues seen in East China Sea partly involve this issue of disproportionate EEZ.Similarly, in South China Sea, disproportionate EEZ is also an underlying factor in the disputes.

    So UNCLOS may have to be amended to eliminate the source of conflicts stemming from the disproportionate EEZ problem.

    Part II of 2.
    EEZ (UNCLOS'94) does not create or extinguish ownership of land features. If that was possible, Britain would own parts of France, and vice versa.

    With this in mind, Scarborough Shoals (SS) is an interesting case, because if China owns it, then Philippines's EEZ can not extend over SS, Similarly SS, if it is assigned an EEZ, that EEZ can not extend onto the island of Luzon, in which case a median EEZ dividiing line has to be drawn between SS and Luzon, so that each side take an equal share of the available space.

    Coincidentally I recently did some research about 'kundalini-awakening'-phenomena. Many doctrines concerning this point to the pineal-gland as the source of these kinds of 'enlightments'.
    In the near future I foresee short programs, programs of for instance a week, where with a little training and the help of a couple of pills, people have the enlightment-experience. Maybe even just as recreation... Why not?!? In the end "... it's all in the brain ...". And some of these phenomena are already being induced by drugs.

    Fascinating. Early Christian cult upbringing instilled lifetime interest in prehistory, plus respect for those in the field. Wish I knew more and had more experience. Thanks greatly for the information. Wonderful photos...more info requested. Of course!

    Nope. No short cuts. It's something that requires effort. Conscious working. Most short cuts end up not being so much of a short cut. In Daoism they refer to the brain as a 'ball of mud/clay'. The reference here is to the making of pottery/ceramics. The taking of a clump of mud/clay, working it , shaping it into some thing useful.

    There's always one. I like the way you are attempting to discredit Graham with your opening statement. You believe this pseudo fact will linger in our ears long enough for your tenuous proof to gain verisimilitude with anyone who knows little about Baalbek other than it is one of those words with a double "a" in it. Crafty.

    I was just CUT OFF in the middle of reading an article and informed it was a "free preview" of what I could expect from AOPremium and if I wanted to finish reading I would have to join!! Could you PLEASE post this at the beginning of an article instead frustrating readers ?? or is this just another 'tactic' like the very looonngg 'Ad campaign' ? Is it only a matter of time until AO is no longer free ??

    You used to put ads on the SIDE... NOW you are puposely Stttrreeeetching them out at the beginning and THEN asking if I am tired of them!! YES I am tired of the 'pressure format' you are presenting them in. I am a devoted reader of AO. It is a magnificent cite. I have always reviewed the books, etc, on the 'side' and purchased one as a present for my daughter who is a teacher. I can not afford the premium AO. Can there be an 'OPTION' to return to the previous format???

    "Le Fay" is but the anglicism for french "la Fée" (the Fairy). For the arthurian tales were initially written by french authors. Sorry, folks.
