Researchers using text-analysis software say they've discovered a new literary device in the first book of the Bible: the "Genesis death sandwich."
The name refers to a familiar rhetorical structure -- sandwiching bad news in between the good. In the case of Genesis, the slices of white bread are themes of life, and the slimy cold cuts in between are mentions of death.
[,,,] For their study, Rugg and his colleagues ran the King James version of the text through software known as the Search Visua... Continue reading ...

"Work is going well ... (but) we haven't found the ships yet," Marc-Andre Bernier said in a telephone interview after leaving the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker Sir Wilfrid Laurier last week.
What they have found in a search on land are more artifacts from the ill-fated expedition. At Erebus Bay, where at least a dozen members of the Franklin crew are known to have died, more human remains have been recovered.
"They did find a human tooth, and some bone and a toothbrush," Bernier said. "These... Continue reading ...
There should be a caveat of YET at the end,,,science is not the end all-be all, but a starting point for eliminating what it is not,,,i think eventually science will be able to explain some of these things, but one has to remember that science deals with facts, not truth,,,
The world is full of mysteries, and the human race loves nothing better than to find answers to them. Frequently, though, the answers aren't as popular as the mysteries themselves, and people will just continue right on believing, even when the evidence is right there, why don't you just look?! Just look, you bastard!
Oh really,,,I have a hard time believing that people such as Linda Moulton Howe, Stanton Friedman, Paul Eno, John Zaffis, Whitley Strieber, etc are so easily fooled,,,,

In 1976, the late Zecharia Sitchin stirred up a great deal of controversy with the publication of his book, The Twelfth Planet. In this and subsequent books, Sitchin presented his literal translations of ancient Sumerian texts which told an incredible story about the origins of humankind on planet Earth - a story far different and much more fantastic than what we all learned in school.
[,,,] It's an astonishing story, to say the least. Most historians, anthropologists and archeologists consider... Continue reading ...

Deep-sea explorers have pulled up 48 tons of silver treasure from three miles below the surface of the North Atlantic in what may be the deepest, largest precious metal recovery in history.

Excavators have uncovered what they believe to be the 1,300-year-old remains of a Mayan prince entombed within a royal complex of the ancient city of Uxul, located in Mexico near the Guatemalan border.
[,,,]
They found a total of nine pieces of ceramics, including a plate painted in the distinctively black-lined Mayan Codex-Style covering the man's skull. At Mayan sites, it is not uncommon to find plates placed over the skulls of the deceased, Delvendahl, said.

Michael Cohen took footage of a river in the Sayan Mountains, Siberia I shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Qsdxye6Yc and used it as a backdrop to stage an elaborate hoax of a sighting of a Woolly Mammoth. He did not ask permission and is profiting from it by selling it as his footage.
