Strange Artifacts, Baghdad Battery

Strange Artifacts, Baghdad Battery
This experiment proved that electric batteries were used some 1,800 years before their modern invention by Alessandro Volta in 1799. It also seems that the use of similar batteries can be safely placed into ancient Egypt, where several objects with traces of electroplated precious metals have been found at different locations. There are several anomalous finds from other regions, which suggests use of electricity on a grander scale. The Riddle of "Baghdad's batteries" Arran Frood investigates what could have been the very first batteries and how these important archaeological and technological artefacts are now at risk from the impending war in Iraq. I don't think anyone can say for sure what they were used for, but they may have been batteries because they do work Dr Marjorie Senechal War can destroy more than a people, an army or a leader.

Chinese Pipes BEIJING, China -- A team of Chinese scientists is to head out to the far west of the country to investigate a mystery pyramid that local legend says is a launch tower left by aliens from space. Nine scientists will travel this month to probe the origins of the 50-60 meter (165-198 ft) tall structure -- dubbed "the ET relics" -- in the western province of Qinghai, China's state-run Xinhua agency said on Wednesday. The mystery pyramid sits on Mount Baigong, has three caves with triangular openings on its facade and is filled with red-hued pipes leading into the mountain and a nearby salt water lake, Xinhua said. Rusty iron scraps, pipes and unusually shaped stones are scattered around the inhospitable and largely uninhabited area, it said. But a study carried out by a local smeltery suggests the pipes are very old, Liu Shaolin, the engineer who carried out the analysis, told Xinhua.

What Are The Human Health Effects Of PCBs? Polychlorinated biphenyls are a group of 209 different chemicals which share a common structure but vary in the number of attached chlorine atoms. An estimated 1.3 million pounds of different types of PCBs were dumped into the Hudson River by General Electric from 1946 until 1977, when they were banned. The international treaty on Persistent Organic Pollutants, drafted by 122 nations in Johannesburg in December 2000, targeted PCBs as one of the `dirty dozen´ chemicals to be phased out worldwide. PCBs are a probable human carcinogen. The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the Environmental Protection Agency classify PCBs as a probable human carcinogen. Studies of PCBs in humans have found increased rates of melanomas, liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancer, and brain cancer, [1] and may be linked to breast cancer. Why are PCBs called a `probable´ carcinogen? Acute toxic effects. PCBs cause developmental effects. Carpenter, D.

Stacje numeryczne - radiowe audycje-widmo - Paranormalium - Portal Zjawisk Paranormalnych Włączasz radio. Przełączasz na krótkie fale. Szukasz jakiejś radiostacji. W końcu coś znajdujesz. Dziwna to jednak radiostacja, bowiem na ustawionej częstotliwości słyszysz jedynie ciąg cyfr: "jedna, jedna, jedna, tri, sedum, dva, szest, tri..." - i tak w kółko. Myślisz sobie - "Bezsens". Ale po chwili słychać tylko krótkie "Konec". Jeśli kiedykolwiek zdarzyło Ci się coś podobnego, to najprawdopodobniej odebrałeś stację numeryczną. Stacje numeryczne to nadające na falach krótkich stacje radiowe o nieustalonym pochodzeniu. Transmisje tego typu są niemalże identyczne za każdym razem i wydają się przestrzegać pewnego planu (choć niektóre stacje pojawiają się nagle i równie szybko znikają). Każda stacja numeryczna rozpoczyna audycję w charakterystyczny dla siebie sposób. Tylko w pojedynczych przypadkach udaje się ustalić miejsce, z którego nadają stacje numeryczne. Historia stacji numerycznych O szpiegowskim zastosowaniu stacji numerycznych pisali Robert Wallace i H. Achtung! "Achtung!

Wow! signal The Wow! signal The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband radio signal detected by Jerry R. Ehman on August 15, 1977, while he was working on a SETI project at the Big Ear radio telescope of The Ohio State University, then located at Ohio Wesleyan University's Perkins Observatory in Delaware, Ohio.[1] The signal bore the expected hallmarks of non-terrestrial and non-Solar System origin. It lasted for the full 72-second window that Big Ear was able to observe it, but has not been detected again. Interpretation of the paper chart[edit] The original printout of the Wow! Location of the signal[edit] Determining a precise location in the sky was complicated by the Big Ear telescope's use of two feed horns to search for signals, each pointing to a slightly different direction in the sky following Earth's rotation; the Wow! 19h22m24.64s ± 5s (positive horn)19h25m17.01s ± 5s (negative horn) Time variation[edit] Plot of signal strength vs time Therefore, both the length of the Wow!

The sumerians are a strange phenomenon in our history Why talk about the Sumerians on a site which is about aliens and their influence on humans? It's because Sumer and its inhabitants pose many questions, some of which might only be answered by referring to aliens. Sumer: the unusual Before talking more about the aliens, just have a look at the legacy of Sumer and you'll begin to understand the interest for people looking for alien influence on humans... The Sumerians... invented picture-hieroglyphs which developed into the cuneiform (wedge-shaped) script, the earliest known written language spoke a language which is generally regarded as unique as it is related to no known language family built the first true city states developed the first known codified legal and administrative systems (with jails, courts, and administrative records) invented the wheel were astronomers who first mapped out constellations and the zodiac known later to the Greeks. And that's the key point here. Wouldn't you want to know why? And the aliens...? The Annunaki

10 Most Bizarre Sounds You’d Not have Heard For humans, hearing is normally limited to frequencies between about 12 Hz and 20,000 Hz (20 kHz), although these limits are not definite.

The Annunaki. Were they vital to our history? Are humanity's origins bound up with aliens, specifically, the Annunaki? This might sound crazy, but there seems to be enough evidence to at least bring it into question. Good question! The answer, however, is not always crystal clear. The records about them appear in Sumeria about 3,000 years ago They came from another planet They were particularly interested in gold They were worshiped as gods They divided into factions as to how to treat mankind Mankind was genetically altered to enable us to perform better for them An interesting list, isn't it? Actually, the major investigator of these Sumerian records is Zechariah Sitchin. Further, he claims that the Annunaki were on Earth about 450,000 years ago, primarily looking for gold which was very important in their culture, and perhaps for their longevity. Not surprisingly, such advanced beings in ships and with 'magical' technology were viewed as gods. All this is, of course, interesting. Look at the civilization of Sumer as a start.

Ichor Falls - A Quiet Community Noah's Ark Noah's Ark (1846), a painting by the American folk painter Edward Hicks A ship modeled after the biblical description of Noah's Ark, Ark van Noach, in the Netherlands Noah's Ark (Hebrew: תיבת נח‎; Biblical Hebrew: Tevat Noaḥ) is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6–9) by which Noah saves himself, his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals from the flood. God gives Noah detailed instructions for building the ark: it is to be of gopher wood, smeared inside and out with pitch, with three decks and internal compartments; it will be 300 cubits long (137.16 m, 450 ft), 50 wide (22.86 m, 75 ft), and 30 high (13.716 m, 45 ft); it will have a roof "finished to a cubit upward"; and an entrance on the side. The story goes on to describe the ark being afloat throughout the flood and subsequent receding of the waters before it came to rest on Mount Ararat. The Genesis flood narrative is similar to numerous other flood myths from a variety of cultures. Origins[edit]
