This Forgotten Egyptian Dish Reveals Early Astronomical Symbols of Key Constellations
While traveling in Egypt for my studies, I came across a unique artifact in the Nubian Museum in Aswan. It was a dish which had not been recognized for the important information it holds. As soon as I saw it in 2008, I immediately understood that I had found myself in front of an "astronomical-mythological" object of enormous value.

Invisible waveforms, ET and other Transmissions
The recent 'Citizen Hearing on Disclosure' discussed possible reasons for the pervasive, pathological and absurd secrecy around the ongoing extraterrestrial & UFO events, which appear to be increasing. The reasons for secrecy given by the courageous panel I would also agree with — for example: power, manipulation, control, money and greed; as well as the deceit involved in the potentially catastrophic legal consequences of hidden advances in technology that might free us from oil and rid the planet of pollution.

For centuries, a commonality across the various monarchies of the world was a direct association between the ruler and a higher power. Kings and queens were seen either as God’s Chosen One or, in some cultures, they were seen as God themselves.
In the Western world, kings were commonly described as having “divine” rights and powers. The divine right was also called God’s mandate in some cultures. This was a combined political and religious doctrine, that was intended political legitimacy to a monarchy.

Researchers claim Neanderthals were NOT a sub-species of modern humans
Researchers have identified new evidence supporting the growing belief that Neanderthals were a distinct species separate from modern humans (Homo sapiens), and not a subspecies of modern humans. The study also found that the Neanderthal nasal complex was not adaptively inferior to that of modern humans, and that the Neanderthals' extinction was likely due to competition from modern humans and not an inability of the Neanderthal nose to process a colder and drier climate, as has been previously suggested.

Top 10 Royal Scandals That Left Society Aghast
Throughout history, royal families were often the image of the nations they ruled over.

Æthelflæd, The Medieval Queen Who Took on the Vikings to Save Her Kingdom
While her name is a mouthful, and quite a convoluted one at that, Æthelflæd of Mercia's role in early medieval England is rather straightforward. More importantly, the part she played in the conquest of the Danelaw (the Viking dominated region of England) is imperative to the historical tale of Britain.
