But you were also allowed to pay a yearly fee (20 pesos); this would have appealed to less wealthy families. However, if the relatives could not pay this yearly tax for three years, the body (which had, by the way, become accidentally mummified) was dug up from the cemetery and (if the fee still wasn't paid) placed on display in El museo de las momias. [Of course, what if the person's family had moved from town--or what if the person was the last person from their family? Well, it didn't matter; the law was the law!]<br />Fortunately, in 1958, the law was changed. Although no new bodies have been exhumed, the museum still displays the original mummies.</div><div><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TcC3YiaIW_dzNhx3SKXdDGFk4DzixVYZj7Xdih81lMaOKZgL-dWXlroHr3lBWKxkFcNZk9vLGRaWvbDcYW3Yss7OfRgv2B_QwdsSOmogOAHj686lP4zqi99IOhh32yrDVJ8E5NJMBrzU/s1600-h/2259388202_acfd6b804d.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266544757267866322" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3TcC3YiaIW_dzNhx3SKXdDGFk4DzixVYZj7Xdih81lMaOKZgL-dWXlroHr3lBWKxkFcNZk9vLGRaWvbDcYW3Yss7OfRgv2B_QwdsSOmogOAHj686lP4zqi99IOhh32yrDVJ8E5NJMBrzU/s320/2259388202_acfd6b804d.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><div><br /><br /><br /> </div><div><br />According to an article in the Arizona Republic (November 1, 2005), the mummies began attracting tourists in the early 1900s, "when cemetery workers began charging people a few pesos to enter the ossuary building where bones and mummies were stored. But business really took off after the 1970 movie Santo Versus the Mummies of Guanajuato, starring masked wrestler Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta."</div><div><br /><br />indicates that the first mummy was found in 1865 and that the museum opened in 1894</div><div><br /> </div><div>A combination of the soil conditions and a dry climate of the mountainous area caused the bodies in the local cemetery to dry out naturally before they could decompose. The bodies were placed in tombs, seven rows high; apparently, those in the middle row were more likely to have been naturally mummified. However, only those who failed to pay the grave tax were ever exhumed so information about mummification will always be incomplete.</div><div><br /><br /> </div><div>The Guanajuato mummies are some of the strangest ones ever placed on display. Some are clothed, some aren't. A few are wearing only their socks and/or shoes. Some are old, others are only infants. One tiny baby mummy is labeled, "La momia más pequeño del mundo"--the smallest mummy in the world. The baby and the mother (they died during a caesarean section) are in the museum, but they will not be found together.<br />The museum contains a few local legends as well. For example, one body was said to belong to a woman who had been buried alive. When the Mummy Road Show hosts researched the mummy, they concluded that two factors suggested this legend was correct: the woman's arms were raised over her face and her forehead had scratch marks.</div></div></div>Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-58863986197758670932008-10-08T23:19:00.006-07:002008-10-08T23:37:24.133-07:00Saint Bernadette<div></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9PtsA7RD1fyluDM-bsNW4NAfeIN5nMDMH2FfHt1lbvf1pItBN5WE7XTNuN8yO5BZg_5nq7mqb37PbwRRNeo8aIPsFKhEr2Kh4AhVnOgIA0ldlJUi3rns6WUtWeFWpcRYvjJn0YTk-VxJ/s1600-h/068_BernadetteSoubirous.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255038760918602242" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9PtsA7RD1fyluDM-bsNW4NAfeIN5nMDMH2FfHt1lbvf1pItBN5WE7XTNuN8yO5BZg_5nq7mqb37PbwRRNeo8aIPsFKhEr2Kh4AhVnOgIA0ldlJUi3rns6WUtWeFWpcRYvjJn0YTk-VxJ/s320/068_BernadetteSoubirous.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div>Saint Bernadette (born Marie-Bernarde Soubirous; January 7, 1844 – April 16, 1879), was a miller's daughter from the town of Lourdes in southern France. From February 11 to July 16, 1858, she reported eighteen apparitions of "a Lady." Despite initial skepticism from the Catholic Church, these claims were eventually declared to be worthy of belief after a canonical investigation, and the apparition is known as Our Lady of Lourdes. After her death, Bernadette's body remained incorrupt, and the shrine at Lourdes went on to become a major site for pilgrimage, attracting millions of Catholics each year. On December 8, 1933 she was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church; her Feast Day is celebrated on April 16.</div><br /><div> </div><div align="center"></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu97LPyVZxKvU2l8x3cDNQ-ChaqiKkVk45MTM5Sg7gFVFAt2_FIs1T_b-mPTidgwIbWkS82VzPW4fMqONngodTQS790AIZ_W6zC5N0xyZdNlwU0DpYRjEn1BEC9bUblCHlQH-T3D2s3sM/s1600-h/bernadette2-new.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255038982978449890" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKu97LPyVZxKvU2l8x3cDNQ-ChaqiKkVk45MTM5Sg7gFVFAt2_FIs1T_b-mPTidgwIbWkS82VzPW4fMqONngodTQS790AIZ_W6zC5N0xyZdNlwU0DpYRjEn1BEC9bUblCHlQH-T3D2s3sM/s320/bernadette2-new.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXz4nfsy_pZ_fIRhWtgYbkM20kehy2BSGJbj3RZq7-n1z_Gz284rh1RP6D4B1IeK8HyvzWljbBcNWKme9bCR2xUhxcgjohyphenhyphen69OjXVDkIgImiwL_saA-stQIqS-5EkV_yxWEjtsX6LspedI/s1600-h/300px-StB.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255037886633068754" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXz4nfsy_pZ_fIRhWtgYbkM20kehy2BSGJbj3RZq7-n1z_Gz284rh1RP6D4B1IeK8HyvzWljbBcNWKme9bCR2xUhxcgjohyphenhyphen69OjXVDkIgImiwL_saA-stQIqS-5EkV_yxWEjtsX6LspedI/s320/300px-StB.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div>Bishop Gauthey of Nevers and the Church exhumed the body of Bernadette Soubirous on September 22, 1909, in the presence of representatives appointed by the postulators of the cause, two doctors, and a sister of the community. They found that although the crucifix in her hand and the rosary had both oxidized, her body appeared "incorrupt" — preserved from decomposition. This was cited as one of the miracles to support her canonization. They washed and reclothed her body before burial in a new double casket.<br />The Church exhumed the corpse a second time on April 3, 1919. The body still appeared preserved, however, her face was slightly discolored possibly due to the washing process (by the sisters) of the first exhumation.<br />In 1925, the church exhumed the body for a third time. They took relics, which were sent to Rome. A precise imprint of the face was molded so that the firm of Pierre Imans in Paris could make a light wax mask based on the imprints and on some genuine photos. This was common practice for relics in France, as it was feared that although the body was uncorrupted, the blackish tinge to the face and the sunken eyes and nose would make an unpleasant impression on the public. Imprints of the hands were also taken for the presentation of the body. The remains were then placed in a gold and crystal reliquary in the Chapel of Saint Bernadette at the mother house in Nevers. The site is visited by many pilgrims and the body of Saint Bernadette to this day remains intact despite being nearly one hundred and thirty years old</div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div align="center"></div>Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-3342528572858227862008-08-30T10:58:00.004-07:002008-09-01T15:22:45.536-07:00Pompeii victims Vesuvius Mount<div align="center"><br /> On August 23, 79 AD, Pompeii looked like any other busy, prosperous city.

She led by the hand a shy little girl, scarcely three feet tall, with chestnut braids and an enormously bulging abdomen. Pointing to the frightened child, the Indian woman begged Surgeon Geraldo Lozada to exorcise the evil spirits which had taken possession of her. Certain that little Lina Medina had an abdominal tumor, Dr. Lozada examined her, received the surprise of his life when he discovered she was eight months pregnant.<br /><br /><br />Dr. Lozada took her to Lima, the capital of Peru, prior to the surgery to have other specialists confirm that Lina was in fact pregnant. A month and a half later, on May 14, 1939, she gave birth to a boy by a caesarean section necessitated by her small pelvis. The surgery was performed by Dr. Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colretta providing anaesthesia. Her case was reported in detail by Dr. Edmundo Escomel to La Presse Medicale, along with the additional details that her menarche had occurred at 8 months of age, and that she had had prominent breast development by the age of 4. By age 5 her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://www.philosophyblog.com.au/userimages/user1863_1164112953.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand" height="695" alt="" src="http://www.philosophyblog.com.au/userimages/user1863_1164112953.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Her son weighed 2.7 kg (6 lb) at birth and was named Gerardo after her doctor. Gerardo was raised believing that Lina was his sister, but found out at the age of ten that she was his mother. He grew up healthy but died in 1979 at the age of 40 of a disease of the bone marrow. There was never evidence that Lina Medina's pregnancy occurred in any but the usual way, but she never revealed the father of the child, nor the circumstances of her impregnation. Dr. Escomel suggested she might not actually know herself by writing that Lina "couldn't give precise responses." Lina's father was arrested on suspicion of rape and incest, but was later released due to lack of evidence. Medina later married Raúl Jurado, who fathered her second son in 1972. They live in a poor district of Lima known as Chicago Chico ("Little Chicago"). She refused an interview with Reuters in 2002.Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-46446339454113156112008-06-23T21:02:00.003-07:002008-06-23T21:49:48.843-07:00Jack the Ripper<p align="center"><a href="http://www.enworld.org/Pozas/Pictures/Ravenloft/jack_the_ripper.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.enworld.org/Pozas/Pictures/Ravenloft/jack_the_ripper.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><div>Jack the Ripper is an alias given to an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished Whitechapel area and adjacent districts of London, England in the autumn of 1888. The name is taken from a letter sent to the Central News Agency by someone claiming to be the murderer.<br /></div><div>The victims were women allegedly earning income as prostitutes. The murders were perpetrated in public or semi-public places at night or towards the early morning. The victim's throat was cut, after which the body was mutilated. Theories suggest the victims were first strangled in order to silence them, which also explained the reported lack of blood at the crime scenes. The removal of internal organs from three of the victims led some officials at the time of the murders to propose that the killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge.<br /><br />Newspapers, whose circulation had been growing during this era, bestowed widespread and enduring notoriety on the killer owing to the savagery of the attacks and the failure of the police in their attempts to capture the murderer, sometimes missing him at the crime scenes by mere minutes.<br /><br /><br />Due to the lack of a confirmed identity for the killer, the legends surrounding the murders have become a combination of genuine historical research, folklore and exploitation. Over the years, many authors, historians, and amateur detectives have proposed theories regarding the identity (or identities) of the killer and his victims.<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>The Victims</strong><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="http://nomeduermas.com/cecilia/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/victimas.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://nomeduermas.com/cecilia/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/victimas.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><div>It is unclear just how many women the Ripper killed. It is generally accepted that he killed five, though some have written that he murdered only four while others say seven or more. The public, press, and even many junior police officers believed that the Ripper was responsible for nine slayings. The five that are generally accepted as the work of the Ripper are:</div><br /><br /><div>Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, murdered Friday, August 31, 1888. </div><div>Annie Chapman, murdered Saturday, September 8, 1888.</div><div>Elizabeth Stride, murdered Sunday, September 30, 1888. </div><div>Catharine Eddowes, also murdered that same date. </div><div>Mary Jane (Marie Jeanette) Kelly, murdered Friday, November 9, 1888.<br />Besides these five there are good reasons to believe that the first victim was really </div><div>Martha Tabram who was murdered Tuesday, August 7, 1888, and there are important considerations for questioning whether Stride was a Ripper victim. </div><div>As to the actual number of women that the Ripper killed, Philip Sugden wrote in his excellent book, The Complete History of Jack the Ripper, "There is no simple answer. </div><br /><div>In a sentence: at least four, probably six, just possibly eight." All five of these listed plus Tabram were prostitutes and were killed between early August and early November 1888. All but Tabram and Kelly were killed outdoors and there is no evidence to suggest that any of them knew each other. They varied in both age and appearance. Most were drunk or thought to be drunk at the time they were killed.</div><br /><br /><div><strong>The letters</strong></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><p align="center"><strong><a href="http://www.casebook.org/images/dearboss1_big.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 196px; CURSOR: hand" height="259" alt="" src="http://www.casebook.org/images/dearboss1_big.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.casebook.org/images/dearboss2_small.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px" height="264" alt="" src="http://www.casebook.org/images/dearboss2_small.jpg" border="0" /></a></strong><br /></p><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">(Transcription)<br />Dear Boss,I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet.

In an article published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1910, Anderson claimed that the Police had in fact solved the case, but had declined to publicize the fact because, as he says, "no public benefit would result from such a course, and the traditions of my old department would suffer". Anderson made similar assertions in other published sources, most notably in his book "The Lighter Side of My Official Life", also published in 1910. While Anderson never named the suspect in question, he did give a general description of him: the perpetrator was, according to Anderson, a low-class Polish Jew who was "caged in an asylum", and who was "at once identified" by "the only person who had ever had a good view of the murderer." Anderson also tells us that the killer was "a sexual maniac of a virulent type" who lived "in the immediate vicinity of the scenes of the murders," and "whose utterly unmentionable vices reduced him to a lower level than that of the brute". </div><br /><div>In 1959, the name of Anderson's Polish Jew suspect was finally revealed to be 'Kosminski', after the discovery of a copy of an internal police memo written in 1894 by Anderson's second in command, Melville Macnaghten. The memo lists as a suspect: "Kosminski, a Polish Jew, who lived in the very heart of the district where the murders were committed. He had become insane owing to many years indulgence in solitary vices. He had a great hatred of women, with strong homicidal tendencies." </div><br /><p align="left">Further indication that Anderson's suspect's name was Kosminski was established with the discovery of handwritten notes written by ex-superintendent Donald Sutherland Swanson in the margin and end-paper of his personal copy of Anderson's memoirs. Fleshing out the details of the witness identification referred to by Anderson, Swanson writes: "the suspect had been identified at the Seaside Home where he had been sent by us with difficulty in order to subject him to identification, and he knew he was identified. On suspect's return to his brother's house in Whitechapel he was watched by police (City CID) by day and night. In a very short time the suspect with his hands tied behind his back, he was sent to Stepney Workhouse and then to Colney Hatch and died shortly afterwards - Kosminski was the suspect". </p><div>This article proposes a re-examination of the suspect Aaron Kosminski. We will take a closer look at what is known about the Polish Jew hairdresser: his background of growing up in an environment characterized by poverty, oppression, and exposure to violence; his public display of masturbation; his diagnosis suggesting schizophrenia - that he hears voices which guide his every movement. We know, for example, that he threatened his sister with a knife. Melville Macnaghten claimed to have evidence that Kosminski hated women, and that he had homicidal tendencies. And there were other "circs", according to Macnaghten, that made him a strong suspect - evidence that has apparently been lost. Aaron was the right age basically, and he was said to have "strongly resembled the individual seen by the City PC near Mitre Square". He was identified by a witness. His presumed residence in 1888 was in the geographic center of the murders.</div>Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-69517602683696403822008-06-11T20:52:00.003-07:002008-06-11T20:58:54.899-07:00L’Inconnue de la Seine<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">The drowned Mona Lisa</span></strong></div><br /><div><br /><div></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.cold-f.com/image/iconnue_canal_ourcq.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br />In 1900, the body of an unidentified young woman, an apparent suicide, was pulled from the river Seine in Paris. Enchanted by the mysterious corpse’s beauty, a morgue worker made a plaster cast of the woman’s face. Copies of this "drowned Mona Lisa," as Camus would later describe her, soon proliferated across Paris, appearing first in the city’s salons and finally in its literature. Nabokov wrote a poem titled "L’Inconnue de la Seinne." Rilke mentioned her in his only novel. Man Ray photographed her.

Followers of Shugendô, an ancient form of Buddhism, the monks died in the ultimate act of self-denial.<br /><br /><br /><br />For three years the priests would eat a special diet consisting only of nuts and seeds, while taking part in a regimen of rigorous physical activity that stripped them of their body fat. They then ate only bark and roots for another three years and began drinking a poisonous tea made from the sap of the Urushi tree, normally used to lacquer bowls. This caused vomiting and a rapid loss of bodily fluids, and most importantly, it killed off any maggots that might cause the body to decay after death. Finally, a self-mummifying monk would lock himself in a stone tomb barely larger than his body, where he would not move from the lotus position. His only connection to the outside world was an air tube and a bell. Each day he rang a bell to let those outside know that he was still alive. When the bell stopped ringing, the tube was removed and the tomb sealed.<br /><br /><br /><br />Not all monks who attempted self-mummification were successful. When the tombs were finally opened, some bodies were found to have rotted. These monks were resealed in their tombs. They were respected for their endurance, but they were not worshiped. Those monks who had succeeded in mummifying themselves were raised to the status of Buddha, put on display, and tended to by their followers. The Japanese government outlawed Sokushunbutsu in the late 19th century, though the practice apparently continued into the 20th.Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-4570434422435383182008-06-01T20:52:00.008-07:002008-06-01T21:35:55.132-07:00Pope John VIII aka Pope Joan, Pope Joanna<div align="center"><strong>Roman Catholic Papal History That Will Not Go Away ! Pope John VIII</strong><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://coilhouse.net/wp-content/uploads/papesse-copy.jpg" border="0" /><br />“<em>Whenever you see a legend, you can be sure,If you go to the very bottom of things, that you will find history”Vallet de Viriville</em><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 296px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="377" alt="" src="http://www.spokesmanreview.com/blogs/opinion/media/r_PopeJ6%5B1%5D.jpg" border="0" />Pope Joan is the name of a female pope (also La Papessa) who supposedly reigned for less than three years in the 850s, based on a legend that circulated in the Middle Ages. Pope Joan is regarded by most modern historians and religious scholars as fictitious, possibly originating as an anti-papal satire.<br /><br />Born in Britain 818, studied philosophy in Athens, moved to Rome and entered the priesthood gained reputation as a brilliant scholar and won a university chair appointed a Cardinal by Pope Leo IV and upon his death in 853 was elected Pope. Pope John VIII </div><div align="center"><br />POPE JOAN ruled the Roman Catholic Church from 853 to 855. Pope Joan had a private chamberlain named “Florus”. One day, while “On Procession” down one of the streets of Rome, she gave birth prematurely to their son.<br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 271px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 165px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="221" alt="" src="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/doubleissue/mysteries/graphics/pope.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>The citizens of Rome were so enraged at the deception – John was in reality Joan – that they tied their Pope to the tail of her horse and dragged her through the streets of Rome. They then stoned her and her infant son to death.<br /><br />The next day a “monument” to the event, a pile of stones, was erected on the spot the Pope “dropped” her baby. The monument remained until the following Pope got tired of having to detour around “the embarrassment”.<br /></p><p>The history of Pope John (Joan) has been acknowledged by over 150 church historians of the Middle Ages.To “cover” history Pope Leo’s death was moved back two years to 855 by the Vatican.<br /></p><br /><br /><p>Ever since the death of Pope Joan all of the candidates for Pope have had to submit to an examination to insure the candidate is a man – not a eunuch, and not a WOMAN.<br /><br />Pope Clement VIII, in the 17th Century, ordered all records of Pope Joan destroyed. He realized that if the Papal chain were broken it would destroy the myth that claims that the Papalhood descended from St. Peter to the current Pope in an unbroken line. If the line is broken the whole project is a sham!<br />In 1886 Greek author Emmanuel Royadis was excommunicated for writing his book “Pope Joanna”.<br />( 1998 research indicates that in all probability the “man” known in history as “The Englishman – John of Mainz” was indeed SHE )<br /><br />In the year 1965 I, Donald F. Dutkowski, was walking the streets of Rome with a Doctor Arduini. We came upon the intersection where the “monument”, the pile of stones, once stood. This born in Rome, Roman Catholic, told me the story of Pope Joan. This FACTUAL EVENT lives on in the memory of the citizens of Rome. </p></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/2776/popejoan43lr.gif" border="0" /></div><div align="center">Being pope used to require real balls – and the one chosen actually had to prove it!</div><div align="center">Somewhere in the Vatican Museum is said to be a most unusual throne.</div><br /><br /><div align="center">It's a strange object. There is, for a start, something curious about its proportions. The seat is very high and has cut into it a keyhole shape, the stem open to the front. On closer examination it could be an elderly, rather grand commode, once used by popes.... However, the chair back is at a curious reclining angle, far too relaxed, it would seem, for any practical bodily movement. And the legs, too, are unusual... leaving the centre, under the keyhole, open and uncluttered."<br /><a name="n1"></a>"Variously known as the sedia stercoraria – which translates as the 'dung chair'– or rather more understandably, as the 'pierced chair', this then was the object used to test the sex of newly installed popes... Any candidate chosen by his peers to occupy the papal throne was required, before his election could be verified, to sit on this elaborate seat while a young cardinal took advantage of the design to touch his testicles." .<br /></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 212px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 276px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="415" alt="" src="http://www.priestsofdarkness.com/h-art/chair.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">Original Caption: "The sedia stercoraria in the Vatican Museum.

But why should the cardinals be so concerned that they would go through the embarrassment of publicly probing their new boss to demonstrate that the pope is indeed a male? (It wasn't done quietly, either. If all was as expected, the examining cardinal was supposed to call out, "He has two balls, and they are well hung.") An odd tradition even for such a woman-hating church as that of Rome – unless, of course, they had good reason to worry. Unless, that it, there once was a pope who wasn't a member of the boys' club.Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-28672703669815929652008-06-01T19:59:00.003-07:002008-06-01T20:28:52.426-07:007 mayan prophecies<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">MAYAN PROPHECIES</span></strong></div><br /><div align="left"><a href="http://www.crystalinks.com/mayanpriests.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.crystalinks.com/mayanpriests.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>THE FIRST PREDICTION:<br /></strong>According to this prediction, on DECEMBER 22, 2012 the Sun will receive a synchronize beam from the center of the galaxy with which a new cycle will begin. It will be the end of the world of materialism and destruction in which we live and the beginning of a new stage of respect and harmony. Before this day, the humanity will have to choose between disappearing as thinking species that commits an outrage against the planet or evolving about a new Age of integration with the rest of the Universe.<br /><br /><strong>THE SECOND PREDICTION</strong><br />The second prediction announced that, from the eclipse of AUGUST 11, 1999, the physical transformations in the Sun would alter the behavior of the men. They said that some of them would lose the control of his emotions and others would strengthen his interior peace to be synchronized with the rhythms of the galaxy. This way there will be able to neutralize each other the drastic changes that describe the following predictions.<br /><br /><strong>THIRD PREDICTION</strong><br />logical of the man will increase the temperature of the Earth and will produce climatic and geologic imbalances. The absence of synchrony between our behavior and the nature will bring big problems as the evaporation of the water of the soils, forest fires and the destruction of the crops. The attitude that we take will be crucial to carry this epoch of crisis<br /><br /><strong>THE FOURTH PREDICTION<br /></strong>Here there is predicted a heat wave that will provoke the melting of the ice of the poles. According to the Mayan, this will be the way in which the planet will be cleaned and grown green again, but simultaneously the coasts will be flooded and thousands of persons who live next to the sea will face serious dangers.<br /><br /><br /><strong>FIFTH PREDICTION</strong><br />According to the fifth prediction, if we do not syntonize our behavior with the rhythms of the nature and the galaxy, before 2012 we will see trumping all the systems on which our civilization is based. There will take place a collapse of the computer network, the electricity, the economic system and the religion. From these facts, the man will see the need to reorganize the society of a most harmonic and less competitive way. and if to that we add the increase in the activity of the sun, which can cause irreparable damages in the satellites, the situation is complicated. With the solar flares there is received an unusual ultraviolet dose of beams that they expand to the top ambience of the ground, diminishing the pressure that exists on the satellites that are to low height. This makes them lower his orbit to the much more rapid one, getting lost temporary contact with them ideally and interrupting all the communications of the planet in the worst. Also it can happen that 19.000 objects that they are in the orbit of the ground, on having received a high dose of electromagnetism of the sun will get damaged and stop working forever its electronic components.<br /><br /><br /><strong>SIXTH PREDICTION</strong><br /> they said too that the appearance of a comet that will bring very sudden physical transformations in our planet. From his calculations, the Mayan make sure that there exist high probabilities of which the comet collides with the Earth. But simultaneously, they support that it is possible to turn his trajectory away for physical or psychic sources.<br /><br /><strong>THE SEVENTH PREDICTION</strong><br />In the seventh prediction the Mayan left to us a message of hope. They said that from a voluntary effort to achieve the harmony and the interior peace, we will be able to develop new senses and to integrate to the functioning of the galaxy. This way we will be able to reduce the harmful effects announced by other predictions and to be reborn in a new Age, " the Age of the Light ".<br /><br /><br /></div>Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-54517568142499787072008-05-30T16:14:00.004-07:002008-05-30T17:13:12.507-07:00Atlantis the lost continent<div align="center"><strong>The Atlantis is not a hoax</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>The hole in a bag with apples</strong><br /><strong>is the philosophy of this world</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>and it is an art to learn how harpists</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>collect them.</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>The hole in the bag can also mean</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>that apples will accumulate,</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>but only a few can tell who is the rich.</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>So the passage from weed on your way to the garden</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>of fruits is a gradual disappearance </strong></div><div align="center"><strong>-with how many apples you come there,</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>that much reward you will receive!</strong><br /></div><p align="left"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o34/Alexven/atlantis1.jpg" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206317668636584978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBMIKa5OzMxkHu1x-B3wa_LDSVQL-dIaJUh4n-WwFqZXYtFxUqGFaT4qC8ebL3TITJs9312vuKfsCWkqEDqxjgXl5RRachPhyYt3PJBzvq0sna8AsENNSEtf8wnLhj-Ss7Nw6SvNeQqueK/s320/atlan250-3.jpg" border="0" /><br />Originally there was a planet in our galaxy called Atlantis. The planet housed a multiple civilization of highly evolved beings. They were what we think of as spiritual guides or teachers.<br />At one point hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a collision with another planet that was much larger and Atlantis was destroyed. The people who inhabited the planet were aware that this was going to happen so they evacuated the planet before the collision occurred. </p>They searched the galaxy for a planet of similar vibrations and atmosphere. They came to Earth and settled here, where they lived on the surface of the planet. Many remained in ships above the planet.<br /><br />Atlantis has been resettled several times going back over 90,000 years ago. We have had many expressions of the Atlantean energy on the planet from more than one civilization.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://unxplained-factor.com/images/at_Monsu_Desiderio.jpg" border="0" /><br />The original settlers lived in the continent of Atlantis which eventually sank into the seas, due to polar shifts and earth changes. Many Atlanteans went below the surface of the seas and settled in underwater caverns. The tunnels of Atlantis and another civilization, Lemuria, still exist.<br />Atlanteans had many subterranean tunnels which contained giant fire crystals, which was their main source of power. These were quartz crystals - 20 feet tall X 8 feet in diameter. They set up three crystals in a triangular pattern. They had giant copper rods that conducted the energies the from crystals. This created a grid which acted as an apport - bringing things from higher energy into pure material form. This was accomplished through the magnetic configurations of the crystals. </p><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 276px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 230px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="310" alt="" src="http://byerly.org/images/cskull.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p><br />They used telepathic communication. The large quartz crystals amplified the frequencies and vibrations.<br />The population was approximately seven and a half million people.<br />There was no free will. The souls knew why they were there.<br />There were three different expressions of souls in Atlantis<br /><br /><strong>Mutants:</strong> <strong>The working force: Slave labor: Heavy work Working Class: Majority of the souls: Agriculture and scientific communities. Elders:</strong> The souls that had been the force that came from the planet of Atlantis. Did spiritual work. <strong>teachers.</strong> The levels kept to themselves in all aspects of life to keep the energies in balance. </p><p><br />The cities were domed with force fields of energies, set into place containing the vibrations of the atmosphere for the souls to exist.<br /><br />Buildings were tall and large. People lived in communities dwellings in attached homes, as opposed to private home. They were shaped in design based on the use of the building. They were based on geometric construction of the building. The tallest building was about 12-14 stories high. Healing centers were triangular in shape. Most buildings were 2-3 stories high. Elders and Priests might live in single dwellings. </p><p><br />There was a main healing temple that was circular with a 60 foot diameter. The domed ceiling contained dozens of crystals that were not so much used for healing - as Atlanteans had no illness. The building was used to balance their frequencies. Sometimes the crystals were used to raise a person's frequency - just as we use them today. </p><p><br />The temple of sound was used to aligned the body's energy centers (chakras).<br />The pyramids in Atlantis were three sided. They were made of crystals. They were used as antennas to draw and amplify energies from the universe. There were about 100 of these edifices. They were set up in various triangulation patterns all over the planet. They set a global grid work of magnetic energy dividing the planet into different geographic magnetic centers -for population concentration - and to hold the planet in its orbital path. Most of these pyramids, physically do not exist any more. Those that do exist are buried in different areas. </p><p><br />The centers where the pyramids exist energetically draw people to them for magnetic initiation - - - >a total alignment of etheric crystalline centers in the person's bodies. </p><p><br />Mount Shasta and Sedona are such areas.<br /><br />In Atlantis, pregnant women were placed in a chamber for 24 hours where a crystal sent information of a higher frequency to the fetus. </p><p>Children remained with their parents for the first two years of their lives. They were then taken to a central compound where they lived all together with group mothers who raised the children. All of the children got to play with all of the parents every day. There was no child abuse or feelings of lack of love. At adulthood children did not have guilt to caretake parents.</p><p>Psychologically parents and children were far more adjusted then they are today. There were schools where students learned on various levels. </p><p>Crystals were used to program the minds of students with information. These were large crystals - at least 4 feet long - with a point at one end. </p><p>When a person was old and the body wore out - they were lie down and go to sleep - never to wak again. That person's soul had peace in its relationship with God and understood that the soul would return. There was no fear of death. </p><p>The physical body is nothing more than a manifesting consciousness tool of the soul. It is the vehicle through which the soul expresses. When the soul is finished what it is here to do - and the physical body can no longer serve a purpose for the soul - it is within our capacity to close our eyes and for the soul to leave. There is no reason to have prolonged illness and suffering. That is just part of the soul's fear of leaving. </p><p>Biogenetic experiments created many mutant strains which eventually threw the balance off. Many of these beings are written about in mythology - mermaids, cyclops, gargoyles.<br />Atlantis was destroyed because of a tremendous amount of negativity as well as polar shifts. </p><p>The Lemuro-Atlanteans build cities as civilization spread out. The incipient stage of anthropomorphism. Their statues, witnesses to the size of the Lemuro-Atlanteans. Lemuria destroyed by fire, Atlantis by water. The Flood. The destruction of the fourth race and of the last antediluvian monster-animals</p><p> </p>Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3443707277534627398.post-84325645354224987012008-05-28T15:57:00.017-07:002010-05-23T21:23:04.713-07:00Afrikan Origins of Civilization : Ancient Black (Egyptian) History<p align="center"><a href="http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4297897-Statues_Around_the_Egyptian_Museum-Cairo.jpg"></a> </p><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">A lie told often enough becomes the truth</span></strong> </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><p align="center"><a href="http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4297897-Statues_Around_the_Egyptian_Museum-Cairo.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 342px; HEIGHT: 368px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://cache.virtualtourist.com/4297897-Statues_Around_the_Egyptian_Museum-Cairo.jpg" /></p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.musicweb-international.com/sandh/2007/Jul-Dec07/Five-Nefertiti.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div align="left">Have you ever noticed or asked why many of the Egyptian artefacts have the nose and lips missing?

Also it is one of the most unknown and enigmatic. Mayans expanded throughtout Mexico, guatemala, Honduras, belize,salvador, and part of Colombia. In fact, some very particular Colombian etnias preserve still alive the knowledge and Mayan rituals, emphasizing his deep knowledge on medicine that they defy, in results, to the current one. Such is the quantity of archaeological Mayan remains, cities, ceremonial and scientific centers, etc. that exist, which many at present are even without cataloguing or discovering. In the Colombian forests there exist immense cities that the Arawacos know and venerate but that are not absolutely known for the official anthropology.<br /><br />The Mayan form a new paragraph in the history of the civilizations since they did not happen for the regressive process or decline one , for example, Aztec and Egyptian. The puzzler of the disappearance of the Mayan is something that is much far from resolving itself, in the world of the official anthropology, satisfactorily.<br /><br />Meanwhile the so-called " civilized grounds " of Europe were possessing the Roman system of numeration, with all his operative difficulties, the system of Mayan numeration (vigesimal) was allowing them, with only two basic symbols (. and-) to realize the rapidly most complicated calculations with millionaire quantities. Let's remember that the modern computer science works with a binary system based on two signs (1 and 0).<br /><br /><br />Very few Mayan codices could escape from the fanatical destruction that the bishop of Yucatan arranged in 1562 Diego de Landa when in his famous act of faith ordered to hang and to torment thousands of natives, as well as be burning hot and destroy 5.000 sculptures, 13 altars, 197 sacred receptacles and 27 rolls of numerous codexes and manuscripts.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>DISAPPEARANCE</strong></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/8281/madridnm4.jpg" border="0" /><br />This is the most enigmatic and polemic topic. Almost all the explanations lack solid bases and analyses collapse to the minor. Theories as that of the earthquakes, depletion of the soils for crops badly planned, epidemics, internal wars, etc., none resists an analysis thoroughly. According to other versions the Mayan were deep connoisseurs of the metaphysics and concepts as modern as the híper-space. And so, they say some, simply they went on to a parallel universe (phenomenon similar to the one that believes happens spontaneously in certain places as the "Bermuda Triangle").<br /><br />There can seem absurd this hypothesis (although, it is less than others and, this one pushed initial back to an Indian idea until we load point in the mind innumerable prejudices and preconcepts). OriginThe legend says to us that the Aztecs came from AZTLAN or ATLAN that means: " place surrounded with water ". The word ATLANTIS somehow came to Preamérica, Egypt and Greece. The root ATL does not exist it nor existed (that we know) and according to the modern philology, in any other language any more than in the Nahua (language of the Aztecs) ever. His meaning is: IT WATERS DOWN.<br /><br />There exists in the Codex Borgia the figure of ATLANTEOTL that loads on his shoulders the Cosmos, exactly equal to the Greek Atlas, to which we are used to giving priority as symbol. In figure, name and symbol, Atlas is exactly a copy of Atlanteotl (removing the ending OTL we have ATLANTE). The Greek mythology not only took the name of some place but also the figure and the meaning. It turns out to be curious, also, that the daughter of the Greek Atlas calls MAYAN. One of the first significant finds that comes to throw something of light on the topic owes to Enrique Schielemann, the famous discoverer of Troy. Schielemann found a glass of bronze in the camera called " The treasure of Príamo ".<br /><br />It is a glass of noble form but with clear differences of design with the glasses of the same epoch proceeding from the diverse places of the Mediterranean. In her the following text is read, in Phoenician characters: OF KING CRONOS DE THE ATLANTIS. In a region called Tiahuanaca in Central America similar glasses were found. In them there were certain coins in which it was possible to read with entire clarity a phrase that he was saying: EXPRESSED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE TRANSPARENT WALLS.<br /><br />Finally, the legendary affirmations about the giant forefathers of the humanity are firmly documented by the dozens of human remains of enormous proportions found in different places of the world. For quoting some: the giant skeleton of more than 3 m. found in the walls of Madrid, the human femur corresponding to an individual of 5 m. of height in California, the human skull with capacity 3 times superior to current ours, etc., etc., etc., and about which the official science simply is quiet.<br /><br />All the information aims at the idea of that the epoch of submergence of Ia Atlantis was an age of terrible geologic changes, coincidental with a sudden revolution of the terrestrial axis (movement of the poles to the equator). Curiously quite it points out that the above mentioned revolution had to of occurring in an unusually short time period. This way, Charles Darwin, in his explorations for the Arctic zones of the planet was astonished on having discovered an enormous quantity of remains of tropical animals and, also, with the whole appearance of them the death to have supervened in quite violent circumstances. The Teacher Samael Aun Weor presents in his magnificent work " The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac " two curious histories that narrate the catastrophe Atlante.<br /><br />The first one is a Mayan manuscript of the collection " Him Plongeon " call " The manuscripts of Troano " and that can turns in the British Museum. Textually he says: " In the year 6 of Khan, 11 Muluc, in the month Zrc, there happened terrible earthquakes that 13 Chuen continued without interruption up to. The country of the hillocks of mud, the ground of Mu, was sacrificed. After two stir it disappeared during the night, being constantly shaken by the underground fires that they did that the ground was sinking and reappearing several times and in different places. To the end the surface yielded and ten countries separated and disappeared. 64 million inhabitants sank 8.000 years before writing each other this book ". Other is in the files of the temple of Lhassa, in the Tibet. It is an inscription it warms written 2.000 year A.C. Undoubtedly one of the origins of the Egyptian civilization we must look for it also in the Atlantis.<br /><br />Certain traditions that get lost in the night of the centuries tell that in times of the Atlantis many peoples were coming in long peregrinations to two points of the planet that, surely, were the centre of gravity of the hermetic knowledge. One they were the regions of Central America, emphasizing the sacred enclosure of Teotihuacan (Mexico); another Egypt. With such affirmations we emphasize that the origin of some constructions that today exist in these places goes back to next to 30.000 years behind, which can be demonstrated physically.<br /><br />Also by means of the cultural anthropology it is possible to have something of light in this matter. This way we see that the historians of Egypt were affirming that of " ATLAN " there went to these grounds wise architects who taught to this people to work rocks and construct pyramid. Osiris, like historical personage, was receiving the name of " BIG ATLANTE ". In the Osirión, which was an underground temple surrounded with channels there was expressing itself the idea from which Osiris came from " ATLAN " as the first settler sent by the wise persons of another continent to preserve everywhere of the world the treasure of the Science and the Knowledge.<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>NEW PARADOXES ON THE CULTURE AND MAYAN LANGUAGE</strong> </div><br /><div align="center"></div><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 456px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="393" alt="" src="http://www.ancientscripts.com/images/maya_logograms.gif" border="0" /><br />Some philologists emphasize that, probably, a primitive language existed mother of all the current languages. If such a affirmation was real the more brought near this original language would be, undoubtedly, the Mayan. The Mayan, departing from his ground of birth in the East, as missionaries of religion and knowledge, were first to Burma and there they instructed the Nagas. Of Burma they went to the Deccan, in the indies, wherefrom they took his religion and knowledge to Babylonia and Egypt. The Mayan were big navigators whose ships were travelling from the oceans of the west to those from this one and from the seas of the south to those of the north in distant ages.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><u><span style="color:#800080;"></span></u><br /></span><a href="http://www.geocities.com/wwwtimto/gfx/azteccalendar.jpg">MAYAN CALENDAR</a><br /></span><br />The Mayan language, so little studied until only a few years ago, seems to impregnate almost all the languages of the world. In infinity of them we find words that seem to belong more properly to the Mayan. As curiosity fits to emphasize that, nowadays, a Mexican Indian (of Yucatan) and a Japanese they can understand each other without excessive difficulty and without being provided with an interpreter. Also be same, Mayan - speaker, it can understand each other easily with a tibetano who speaks the dialect Naga.<br /><br />Moreover, the old languages Acadio, Caldeo and, to a great extent, the Egyptian, they were, largely, Mayan (the Caldeo was an almost 80% Mayan) Greek is an exceptional case, although in this sense there are no many serious studies. We can affirm, nevertheless, that a big quantity of Greek words can be translated, in a very clear way, decomposing them in Mayan words. Example; PHILOSOPHIA, of Philos = love and Sophia = Knowledge. Diseccionando the word we find the following Mayan words; Pil = to be delivered to the contemplation, 0 = term that affirms or denies with more force, Sou = to untangle, her = difficult thing. This way, " to be delivered to the contemplation, vehementemente, to untangle a thing or difficult matter " explains with notable precision the meaning. Up to the Greek alphabet it seems to shut up a historical secret message referred to such a "uncomfortable" continent Atlante. Translated of Mayan the following thing is read: " The water opened way for the mother ground in the deep thing, far from the shore.<br /><br />The maelstrom struck the area with water. The water spread on what it lives. The sediment broke, submerged up to where the mother has his nose. It rose up to appearing on the maelstrom. The wind circulated and placed little by little until the mother came ground and the wind where the abyss, the deposit of the cold place; he placed the mud on the gap of his mouth and the steam went out.<br /><br />There the maelstrom deposited the sediment. " THE SACRED AUM Inclusive the most sacred word of the Buddhism, the syllable AUM, seems not to be able to be translated more than in Mayan. In this language (and only in this one) every letter has a coherent meaning with the others; To = masculine (Father), Or = feminine (Mother), M = the generated (son). Is here one of the most universal religious mysteries; the Trinidad represented in all the peoples of the Earth with the symbol of the equilateral triangle (present, as not, in many preAmerican temples). In the India, Sri Santara or Big AUM, is represented by an equilateral triangle.The Hindu book Niroukta affirms that: "There is three different persons and only one real God".<br /><br />The Caldeos were representing AIN SOPH, the Big Light, like a Trinity by means of the equilateral triangle. Later Procio places that: "The Demiurgo or Creator is triple". And Pitágoras (who had studied in Egypt, where the triangle with the eye was glistening for thousands of years in the temples) was affirming: "God is a numbers and harmony. The triangle represents God". Very much earlier the preAmericans were proclaiming that the divine thing was demonstrating mathematically, that HUNAHPU was ' the giver of the movement and the measurement '.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www-groups.dcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/~history/Diagrams/Maya_num.gif" border="0" /> <p align="center"><strong>Maya Death Rituals</strong></p><p align="center"><strong></strong><br />The Maya were a religious people, who lived in fear of the destructive nature of their gods. Death rituals became a very important part of their religion; they developed many traditions to commemorate the recently deceased and worship long-departed ancestors. The Maya greatly respected death; they feared it and grieved deeply for the dead. They also believed that certain deaths were more noble than others; for example, people who died by suicide, sacrifice, complications of childbirth and in battle were thought to be transported directly into heaven. The guilty and evil suffered eternally in Xilbalba, the Maya underworld. Otherwise, death was thought of as a journey, with the possibility of rebirth. The Maya believed that certain individuals, important to their lineage, became deities that acted as patrons for the surviving family and many subsequent generations.<br />The Maya dead were laid to rest with maize placed in their mouth. Maize, highly important in Maya culture, is a symbol of rebirth and also was food for the dead for the journey to the otherworld. Similarly, a jade or stone bead placed in the mouth served as currency for this journey. Often, whistles carved from rocks into the shapes of gods or animals were included in the grave offerings to help the deceased find their way to the spirit world. The Maya associated the color red with death and rebirth and often covered graves and skeletal remains with cinnabar. The bodies of the dead were wrapped in cotton mantles before being buried. Burial sites were oriented to provide access to the otherworld. Graves faced north or west, in the directions of the Maya heavens, and others were located in caves, believed to be entrances to the underworld.<br />Burial practices of the Maya changed over the course of time. In the late Preclassic period, people were buried in a flexed position, later the dead were laid to rest in an extended position. In the late Classic period, the elite constructed vaulted tombs, and some rulers ordered the construction of large burial complexes. In the post-Classic period, cremation became more common than elaborate burial sites.<br />There have been many archaeological discoveries of lavish tombs within ceremonial complexes from the Classic period. However, only a city’s most important ruler was buried in this way. These aristocrats were placed in tombs at the bottoms of funerary pyramids that sometimes consisted of nine stepped platforms symbolizing the nine layers of the underworld. Other temples were constructed with 13 vaults the symbolizing the layers of the heavens in Maya cosmology. These temples reflected the continued worship of these important nobles. The tombs were filled with precious goods including fine polychrome pottery, effigy figurines, jade and marble pieces, masks, mushroom figures, obsidian, exotic shells and valuable stones. In some instances, members of the royal family or young attendants would be sacrificed to accompany the lord in death.<br />Other elite members of society were buried in vaults with an array of luxury items. The bodies of higher-ranking members of society were buried inside sarcophagi. They sometimes were buried in family crypts or underneath the family home. These funerary constructions of the royal often destroyed the residence itself. Commoners were also buried near or under their houses. These graves did not have extensive burial offerings, but often contained objects that identified the individual: a tool or possession.<br /><br /><br /></p><div align="center"><strong>THE ABSTRACT GOD </strong></div><p><br /><br />As conception more abstract that the Trinity appears in all the worships " Lo Innombrable ". In the language of the Chineses: " The Tao that can be named is not the Tao. " In other terms: Bram, Aelohim, Adi-Budha, Hurricane (the Mayan were using the last one to designate the God who cannot be represented, literally " what is said sighing ", that is to say, imitating the sound of the wind). From this abstract God they arise Elohim (Hebrew word that translated literally it means " Gods and Goddesses " since it begins like singularly masculine and ends as feminine plural). The same meaning has the Mayan word " Lahum ", where there is observed, again, a curious similarity of structure and of phonetics. </p><p><strong>NOTE ABOUT APOCALYPSO MOVIE:</strong></p><p>There are a lot of mistakes about this movie, actually this movie is a mistake.</p><p>First of all Mayas dissappeared without a trace long before the Spanish conquest led by Hernan Cortes , at that time were the Aztecs who occupied part of Mexico.

I knew it until I was expelled form the semira, I could read a bible version without a priest intervention.<br /><br />If god is the intellectual author, like church said, as a result we would have an ignorant, cruel, lewd ,and avenger god .. unable to love anyone without conditions.<br /><br />If god being wise, almighty, dominant of the skills of the communication ,etc.. wanted to leave the message to humanity, he hadn't chosen those poor , ignorants and deaf Jews, illiterate and forgetful to make it well-known.<br /><br />It wouldn't be logic to leave the message exposed to be transmitted from mouth to mouth, to be changed, forged, censured, corrected, increased for the so-called representatives.<br /><br />If God (exist) ,he would have wish that every men, women and homosexuals know his words, commandments, and wishes, he would make it in a clear , espectacular and unforgettable way , and in all languages. All the bibles have the same anonimous origin, many differences between them, and all of them confirm their none divine source.<br /><br />The first bible was written by Jews in papyrus 200 BC , obviously wasn't called "the bible , and just included 5 books from the pentateuco, after the supposedly Jesus' death aka "christ" the jews made some compilations of other books they found, and the result were 39 holy books, that is to say the new testament.<br /><br />One the most curious situation had appeared to ingratiate themselves with Rome, Christians ( gringos of that time) decided to blame of his death to the Jews and declare them innocents. That's who the Antisemitism born ... A religion was born , from the Jewish origins, based their people traditions, preached to the Jews for a Jew to disciples all Jews, and the first thing they did was to deny it and to condemn of death the whole people and its founder.<br /><br />Forging a bit the history they made jesus a direct descendant of king david (that in turn was a descendant of Adam and Eva) it is say they invented a genealogical tree to Jesus of Nazareth. Worst from the coarse and badly done adaptation (who did it) it is that Matthew include 3 impure women (prostitutes) .."farewell purity of my lineage"Jesus said .. for the emulation to make jesus a descendant of the king , they made him becoming related to distinguised sluts. The worst of the worst, to justify that jesus was a god's son they finished with creating another god ,who does not appear in the bible called:"The holy spirit "<br /></span><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;color:#663300;"><strong><em>THE CREATION</em></strong></span></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#663300;"></span></strong></div><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#663300;"></span></strong></div><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.seaserpentproductions.com/images/GodChickenEggOmelet_Design.jpg" border="0" /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#663300;">At the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, when the earth was (or the earth being) unformed and void . . .

Even a member of the parliament knows that the light it is produce by the sun. Let's say that god made a divine light and later he turned it off. in the bible it is say that the moon has its own light , we all know tha the moon is illuminated by the sunlight.<br /><br />in the 5th day he , Mr. God created man and woman without giving details. Theyy were created to have sex without getting pregnant, that was the paradise!! . why all the story that Eva was created from a Adam's Rib as a complement of him, Why in the bible is presented woman as an inferior being to man?<br /><br />Where did that talking serpent come from? Why a prohibited tree what happened with the rest? What kind of God made those tricks to those innocent creatures? How come God created them who didn't know what was good and evil, how it is posible that they had to make something wrong to know him?<br /><br />Besides that , this absurd God that got tired and has to rest, established a day for all humans to rest .Sunday!! not the 7th day (Saturday)<br /><br />The sky, Earth, and the center of the universe were created in a moment on october 23rd, 4004 at 9 am, everybody accepted this , except the Jews who said that were created in 3761 AC. They didn't know that by that time a great civilization was starting in Egypt. oops :S <p align="center"><a href="http://evolutionspace.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/thencallitgod2.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand" height="308" alt="" src="http://evolutionspace.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/thencallitgod2.gif" border="0" /></a></span></p>Sanstitrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00927302119738829574noreply@blogger.com0
