: Opis.: Olbrzymia kamienna kula odkryta w lesie. Lokalizacja: Zavidovici, Bośnia Rok odkrycia: 2016 Szacunkowa wartość: 3 200 dol.* (wartość zawartego żelaza) Ta kamienna kula o szerokości dziesięciu stóp i wadze 35 ton wywołała lawinę pytań do naukowców; czy jest to dzieło zapomnianej cywilizacji, czy też Matki Natury. Jeśli to pierwsza odpowiedź jest prawidłowa, do czego te ludy lub kosmici mogli ją wykorzystywać? Gigantyczna kula została odkryta w 2016 roku w okolicach miejscowości Zavidovici w Bośni. Prehistoryczna kula pomogła jej odkrywcy Semirowi Osmanagichowi zdobyć przydomek bośniackiego Indiana Jonesa. Kula może być bardzo cenna, ponieważ prawdopodobnie ma wysoką zawartość żelaza. Jeśli kamień jest dziełem człowieka, to jest to największa tego typu struktura w Europie i może wskazywać na istnienie pradawnych zaawansowanych cywilizacji, o których obecnie niewiele wiemy.

: Opis.: Nanotechnologia odkryta w rzymskim kielichu. Lokalizacja: Anglia Rok odkrycia: lata 50. Szacunkowa wartość: Bezcenne Ten 1600-letni rzymski puchar nazywa się Kielichem Likurga ponieważ scena na nim uwieczniona przedstawia króla Tracji Likurga. Choć może się wydawać, że jest to zwykłe, choć fantazyjne starożytne naczynie do picia w rzeczywistości mamy tu do czynienia z czymś znacznie ważniejszym. Ten puchar zawiera klucz do technologii, która może diagnozować choroby lub identyfikować zagrożenia biologiczne na lotniskach. Puchar ma nefrytowo-zielony kolor, gdy oświetlimy go od przodu, ale zmienia kolor na krwistoczerwony po podświetleniu od tyłu. Minęły dekady, zanim odkryto w jaki sposób ten kielich odkryty w latach 50. zmienia barwę. Prawdę poznaliśmy w 1990 r. Okazuje się, że starożytni Rzymianie byli pionierami nanotechnologii używając metali szlachetnych do zmiany elektronów w pucharach. To precjozum to nie element scenografii serialu Game of Thrones na HBO; taka technologia może zawierać odpowiedzi na wiele zagadek zarówno z przeszłości, jak i przyszłości.

: Opis.: In 1565, twelve years after the death of François Rabelais (1494-1553) — the French Renaissance author best known for his satirical masterpiece The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel, the bawdy tale of two giants, Gargantua and his son Pantagruel — the Parisian bookseller and publisher Richard Breton brought out Les songes drolatiques de Pantagruel (The drolatic dreams of Pantagruel). The slim volume, save a short preface from Breton, is made up entirely of images — 120 woodcuts depicting a series of fantastically bizarre and grotesque figures, reminiscent of some of the more inventive and twisted creations of Brueghel or Bosch. "The great familiarity I had with the late François Rabelais," Breton writes in the preface, "has moved and even compelled me to bring to light the last of his work, the drolatic dreams of the very excellent and wonderful Patagruel". Despite the claims (echoed too in the book's subtitle), the book's wonderful images are very unlikely to be the work of Rabelais himself — the attribution probably a clever marketing ploy by Breton. Indeed, that this attribution to Rabelais is a ruse might also explain the unusual lack of text beyond the preface, the intimidating task of imitating the comic master's distinctive literary style perhaps one step too far for Breton. The creator of the prints is now widely thought to be François Desprez, a French engraver and illustrator behind two other sets of imaginative designs, similar in style — Recueil de la diuersité des habits (A Collection of Diverse Costumes) and Recueil des effigies des roys de France (A Collection of Pictures of the Kings of France) — both published through Breton in 1567. The highlights we present below are from an 1869 reproduction printed by Louis Perrin of Lyon, which includes a new and extensive introduction offering some ideas on the symbolism of the figures (mockery of Pope Julius II is rife). You can see the 1565 original here on BnF's Gallica platform (but be aware it has restrictions on re-use, hence why we are not featuring the images here). For more on the book and its images we recommend reading the excellent post featured on the Poemas del río Wang blog, which, among other illuminating insights, also includes an English translation of Breton's preface and ruminations upon the adjective "drolatique". As for an English translation of Rabelais' The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel we recommend M. A. Screech's 2006 translation for Penguin Classics.

: Opis.: Burza Thotha: nowe dowody starożytnych Egipcjan w Irlandii? Niedawne odkrycia w badaniach DNA dodały do już zweryfikowanych znalezisk archeologicznych, aby przedstawić scenariusz, który jest trudny do odrzucenia. Wzgórze Tara jest jednym z najstarszych świętych miejsc w Irlandii. Otoczone jest wieloma innymi neolitycznymi grobowcami, i chociaż powszechnie kojarzone z Celtami, miejsce to poprzedza ich przybycie do Irlandii o tysiące lat. Według legendy jest to miejsce, w którym panował Tuatha De Danann. Byli to ludzie podobni do Boga, o których mówiono, że przybyli do Irlandii na tajemniczych statkach i mieli magiczne moce. UPDATED 19 JUNE, 2021 - 01:33 DAVID HALPIN Thoth’s Storm: New Evidence for Ancient Egyptians in Ireland? When ancient Egypt and Ireland are spoken about in the same breath it usually results in the rolling of eyes, polite exits and the sound of murmurs citing pseudo-history and new age babble. At least, that used to be the case. Recent discoveries in DNA research have added to already verified archaeological finds to present a scenario that is now more difficult to dismiss. Lia Fáil, also known as the Coronation Stone or Stone of Destiny, was an important ritual component in the coronation of ancient High Kings of Ireland. (JohnJDuncan / CC BY-SA 4.0 ) The Hill of Tara is one of Ireland’s most ancient sacred sites. It is surrounded by many other Neolithic earthworks and tombs and although commonly associated with the Celts, the site pre-dates their arrival in Ireland by thousands of years. In legend it is the place where the Tuatha De Danann reigned. These were a God-like people who were said to have arrived in Ireland in mysterious ships and had magical powers. Tuatha de Dannan: Riders of the Sidhe by John Duncan. ( Public Domain ) Ritual Burials and Mysterious Bones During recent and very controversial excavations near Tara a story emerged about a strange skeleton that had been found by workers digging at Lismullin Henge. Some thought it was the remains of a dog, others a badger. But, most curious of all was the claim of some witnesses that the remains were, in fact, those of an ape. As Con Connor, Arch Druid of Ireland’s Celtic Druid Temple writes, “Why was such a ritual burial in a royal site not cause for focused investigation?” In her work, A Course of Severe and Arduous Trials , author Lynn Brunet writes that, “Furthermore, the Irish Masonic author, J. A. Penny notes that a skeleton of a Barbary ape had been found at Tara, the mythical center of Ireland and seat of the High King.” But why would there have been such strange bones buried at this site? These primates are not indigenous to Ireland and the archaeological complex surrounding Tara dates back thousands of years. If bones of an ape had been found at any point, do we have a precedent for such a burial at any other of Ireland’s most ancient sacred places? In fact we do. During excavations at Eimhain Macha (Navan Fort) in County Armagh, the skull of a Barbary ape was found. When it was carbon dated it was discovered to be roughly 2,500 years old. The question for many archaeologists was how it got to Ireland in the first place, but perhaps a more intriguing enquiry would investigate why. The Irish-Egyptian Connection One of the more controversial theories when it comes to the origins of the Irish people is a connection to ancient Egypt. Although there are many Irish legends connecting Tara and Egyptian royalty, these have been impossible to prove. Scota: Mother of Scotland and Daughter of a Pharaoh Viking beaters: Scots and Irish may have settled Iceland a century before Norsemen One of the most intriguing examples of these proposals was the discovery of the skeleton of a 15-year-old boy at The Mound of the Hostages, near Tara, by Dr. Sean O Riordan of Trinity College. Carbon dating showed that the remains were roughly 3,800 years old. A necklace found with the skeleton was made of faience beads and matched similar Egyptian manufacture and design. The Hill of Tara is an archaeological complex featuring many ancient monuments, such as the ‘Mound of Hostages’, seen above. In tradition Hill of Tara is known as the seat of the High Kings of Ireland.

(CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Scotia, Egyptian Royalty There is also the famous legend of Queen Scotia, an Egyptian princess or queen, depending on which version of the legend you read, who was said to have arrived in Ireland in 1700 BC and was killed by the Tuatha De Danann in a great battle. Her supposed grave is marked by a giant inscribed stone in County Kerry and its importance has led to local politicians calling for its preservation. A 15th century depiction of Scota’s voyage from Egypt. ( Public Domain ) An interesting aside is that Scotia’s grave is not far from the island of Skellig Michael, the site of a pre-Christian settlement and a later monastery. According to the 11th-century Lebor Gabála É renn (Book of Invasions), Milesius, a great leader of one of Ireland’s invaders lost two of his sons nearby in 1400 BC when a magical storm caused by the Tuatha De Danann submerged their ship. The majestic and isolated Skellig Michael off Ireland’s coast. ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Despite these legends, up until recently there had been very little strong academic evidence linking Ireland with the lower Mediterranean. In December 2015, however, this all changed. Groundbreaking DNA Findings Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and Queen's University Belfast published new findings in the journal, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . What they found was that the ancient Irish were not only related to the people of southern Europe but that that there was a Middle Eastern connection too. With this new knowledge comes a tantalizing explanation for the ape skull in ancient Ireland and which connects to a previously unexplored etymological link to the Tuatha De Danann . Commonly, the meaning of this mysterious race has been posited as The People of Danu , a mother goddess from Irish mythology. However, the earliest recordings of the Tuatha do not include the last word Danann, instead being described as Tuatha De or Tuatha Di . In fact it is only since the 19th century that the current description of Danu was widely accepted by scholars. Perhaps then it is time to look at these people using the new information we now have about their roots and, most importantly, the gods they worshipped and revered.
