Ancient City Found In India Irradiated By Nuclear Blast 8,000 Years Ago... Green Knight. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The original Gawain manuscript, Cotton Nero A.x.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

It describes how Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, accepts a challenge from a mysterious "Green Knight" who challenges any knight to strike him with his axe if he will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts and beheads him with his blow, at which the Green Knight stands up, picks up his head and reminds Gawain of the appointed time. In his struggles to keep his bargain Gawain demonstrates chivalry and loyalty until his honour is called into question by a test involving Lady Bertilak, the lady of the Green Knight's castle.

The ambiguity of the poem's ending makes it more complex than most. Christian readings of the poem argue for an apocalyptic interpretation, drawing parallels with the story of Adam and Eve. Synopsis[edit] Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (from original manuscript, artist unknown) As the date approaches, Sir Gawain sets off to find the Green Chapel and keep his side of the bargain.

Ebla tablets. The Ebla tablets are a collection of as many as 1800 complete clay tablets, 4700 fragments and many thousand minor chips found in the palace archives[1] of the ancient city of Ebla, Syria.

Ebla tablets

The tablets were discovered by Italian archaeologist Paolo Matthiae and his team in 1974–75[2] during their excavations at the ancient city of Tell Mardikh.[3] The tablets, which were found in situ on collapsed shelves, retained many of their contemporary clay tags to help reference them. They all date to the period between ca. 2500 BC and the destruction of the city ca. 2250 BC.[4] Today, the tablets are being held in the Syrian museums of Aleppo, Damascus, and Idlib.

Language[edit] Two languages appeared in the writing on the tablets: Sumerian, and a previously unknown language that used the Sumerian cuneiform script (Sumerian logograms or "Sumerograms") as a phonetic representation of the locally spoken Ebla language. Archaeological context[edit] Content and significance[edit] Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens, former pentagon consultant claims. Ex-President met with extra-terrestrials on three separate occasions at New Mexico air baseEisenhower and FBI officials organised the meetings by sending out 'telepathic messages' By Anthony Bond Updated: 07:58 GMT, 15 February 2012 Former American President Dwight D. Eisenhower had three secret meetings with aliens, a former US government consultant has claimed. The 34th President of the United States met the extra terrestrials at a remote air base in New Mexico in 1954, according to lecturer and author Timothy Good. Eisenhower and other FBI officials are said to have organised the showdown with the space creatures by sending out 'telepathic messages'.

Bizarre: Former American President Dwight D. The two parties finally met up on three separate occasions at the Holloman Air Force base and there were 'many witnesses'. Conspiracy theorists have circulated increased rumours in recent months that the meeting between the Commander-in-Chief and people from another planet took place. APOCALYPSE – Isaac Newton a prophétisé la fin du monde pour 2060. Une gravure de sir Isaac Newton (AP Photo) La controverse fait rage depuis des décennies : sir Isaac Newton, l'un des plus grands scientifiques de l'histoire, mort en 1727, était-il versé dans la théologie et le mysticisme ? Aux yeux de tous, Newton est celui qui a révolutionné la physique, les mathématiques et l'astronomie aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, définissant notamment la loi de la gravité universelle et les trois lois du mouvement auxquelles il a donné son nom. Et pour beaucoup de nos contemporains, science et religion ne peuvent faire bon ménage.

"Contrairement à son image publique, la plupart des travaux de Newton n'étaient pas consacrés à la science mais davantage à la théologie, au mysticisme et à l'alchimie", avance pourtant Haaretz. Le quotidien israélien en veut pour preuve les archives que vient de rendre publiques la Bibliothèque nationale d'Israël.
