Archaeologists cancel Syria dig - Times LIVE

German archaeologists have cancelled a major dig in cooperation with Italian experts near the Syrian city of Homs because of the unrest int he country, according to an academic official.

Qatna (Arabic قطنا, modern Tell el-Mishrife, Arabic المشرفة) is an archaeological site in the Wadi il-Aswad, a tributary of the Orontes, 18 km northeast of Homs, limestone-plateau of the Syrian desert towards the fertile Homs-Bassin.

Visible remains

The remains of the town-wall are still preserved to a height of 20 m in parts. It consists of mudbricks and limestone rubble that probably were originally faced by a mudbrick wall. An artificial ditch ran in front of the wall. The wall encloses a square area, which is rather unusual for a Bronze Age town. There were four gates in the middle of each side. The gates were faced by orthostats of white limestone and black basalt, the foundations were partly cut into the rock. The entrance was about 4m wide and led to a gate-chamber 8 m deep.

The hill near the centre of the town may have been the acropolis. The Royal palace was located on the 'Butte de l'eglise' (church in french ) in the Northwest corner of the upper town.

. On the 7th Pylon of the temple of Amun in Karnak, Thutmose III33rd year of his reign.[

IMO a possible Temple of Venus / Isis within that area...a Female Pole

I guess a Seal has been opened there ...

some of the Artefacts found:

GOLDEN PLAQUE
This golden plaque from chamber 1
of the royal tomb is embossed with
Egyptian ankh symbols and
gryphons (like a Capricorne: a goat with a fish's tail. . A double circle of holes
along its rim and traces of organic
matter surrounding them suggest
that the plaque was sewn into a
circular hole and thus probably
adorned a leather quiver which has
not survived the millennia.
2.56", 15th/14th century BC

AMETHYST CYLINDER SEAL
Sifting through the debris of the
royal palace, the archaeologists
came across this tiny cylnder seal
carved from Amethyst. The engra-
vings show a king, two godlike
figures with egyptian-type crowns
and staves, and ankh symbols, the
Egyptian hieroglyph forpopular in Ancient Syria, too.
0.63", 15th/14th century BC

GOLDEN HAND
The hand made of gold was found
in chamber 1 of the royal tomb. The
lack of seams suggests that it was
hammered from one piece on a mold.
Archaeologists are still puzzling
over its purpose;

CARNELIAN FLASK
The small but nevertheless heavy
stone flask was ground and polished
from a single piece of carnelian in
Egypt. It may have served as a con-
tainer for ointments. It was found
broken in three in chamber 3 of the
royal tomb.

SCARAB RING
The gold ring with a small scarab of
lapis lazuli ( semi-precious stone that has been prized since antiquity for its intense blue color. ) was found in chamber 2
of the royal tomb. The beetle served
as a stamp seal: its flat underbelly is
engraved with a triple braid, a typical
motif of ancient Syria.

looks like Virgin Mary / Ishtar / Isis...Fractal

Another way of looking at the Voynich image....instead of Capricorn you could look at it with Aries:

from the Voynich Manuscript:



note the blue color under the animals hooves as in Water

Sign ruler Mars
Detriment Venus
Exaltation Sun
Fall Saturn

Aries (♈) /ˈɛəriːz/ (meaning "ram") is the first astrological sign in the Zodiac, which spans the zodiac between the zero degree and the 29th degree of celestial longitude. The Sun enters Aries when it reaches the northern vernal equinox, which is usually (not always ) on March 21 each year, and remains in this sign until around April 20 (sometimes the dates vary slightly). Individuals born during these dates, while the Sun is within this sign, are called Arians or Ariens

if you take into account all the earthquakes that slightly changed the angle of the earth (search the net )...could fall on the 15th instead of the 21st (maybe )

Mythology

In Hellenistic astrology, the sign of the ram was mythologically associated with the golden winged ram that rescued Phrixos and his sister Helle from the altar where they were to be offered as a sacrifice to Zeus (sounds similar to the story of Abraham and the ram ). The golden ram carried them to the land of Colchis but on the way Helle fell into the sea and drowned. When Phrixos arrived at Colchis he sacrificed the ram to Zeus and presented the golden fleece to his father-in-law, the King of Colchis. The fleece was then hung upon a sacred oak and guarded by a dragon until rescued by Jason and the Argonauts. The myth recounts that Zeus was so moved by the ram's fate that he gave it the greatest honour of being moved to the heavens.

2012 is a leap year

so let us dwelve on the day March 15th

March 15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

March 15 is the 74th day of the year (75th in leap years (HM 3 ) ) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 291 days ( HM 3 ) remaining until the end of the year.

In the Roman calendar, March 15 was known as the Ides of March.

The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held.

note the purple silk Drape

Hōnen Matsuri (豊年祭 Harvest Festival?) is a fertility festival celebrated every year on March 15 in Japan. Hōnen means prosperous year in Japanese, implying a rich harvest, while a matsuri is a festival. The Hōnen festival and ceremony celebrate the blessings of a bountiful harvest and all manner of prosperity and fertility.

The best known of these festivals takes place in the town of Komaki, just north of Nagoya City. The festival's main features are Shinto priests playing musical instruments, a parade of ceremonially garbed participants, all-you-can-drink sake, and a 280 kg (620 pound), 2.5 meter (96 inch)-long wooden phallus. The wooden phallus is carried from a shrine called Shinmei Sha (in even-numbered years) on a large hill or from Kumano-sha Shrine (in odd-numbered years), to a shrine called Tagata Jinja.

The festival starts with celebration and preparation at 10:00 a.m (HM 1 ). at Tagata Jinja, where all sorts of foods and souvenirs (mostly phallus-shaped or related) are sold. Sake is also passed out freely from large wooden barrels. At about 2:00 p.m. everyone gathers at Shinmei Sha for the start of the procession. Shinto priests say prayers and impart blessings on the participants and mikoshi, as well as on the large wooden phallus, which are to be carried along the parade route.

When the procession makes its way down to Tagata Jinja the phallus in its mikoshi is spun furiously before it is set down and more prayers are said. Everyone then gathers in the square outside Tagata Jinja and waits for the mochi nage, at which time the crowd is showered with small rice cakes which are thrown down by the officials from raised platforms. The festival concludes at about 4:30 p.m.( 16:30 pm or HM 1 )

Exaltation Mars
Fall Jupiter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exaltation_(astrology)

In astrology, essential dignity is the strength of a planet or point's zodiac position, judged only by its position by sign and degree, or its essence-

In astrology, exaltation is one of the five essential dignities of a planetearly medieval Arabic period, such as Albiruni's 11th century Book of Instruction in the elements of the art of astrology

The exaltations are one of the most ancient astrological factors still in use.

For example, the essential dignity of Mars, if located at 27 degrees (HM 9 ) of Capricorn would take into account the fact that Mars is exalted in Capricorn, and also that it is the bounds ruler of the 27th degree of Capricorn and also the face ruler of the 27th degree of Capricorn. This is a considerably dignified Mars.

Traditionally the five essential dignities are:
Domicile (rulership or house) + detriment
Exaltation + fall
Triplicity
Terms (or "bounds")
Face (or "decan")

For Medieval astrologers, such as Bonatti or Lilly, the dignities had a hierarchy. The most important dignity was domicile rulership; slightly less important was exaltation. Triplicity rulerships were still fairly important in medieval astrology, but nowhere near as vital as they were for Hellenistic astrologers such as Ptolemy.To earlier astrologers, such as Ptolemy and Vettius Valens, domicile rulership, exaltation, triplicity rulership and bounds rulership were all of equal strength in influence

Although the name means " the great^Castle,"
the town is without a wall and, viewed from a
distance, has a picturesque appearance, with its
roof tops and its mosque minarets peering over a
setting of trees and gardens. The Kaiseriyah
(the ** Bazaar " or market quarter) forms its
best feature : it is held on Sundays and well
attended. Parts of the streets composing it are
covered with palmetto matting, affording an
agreeable shade. The city abounds in storks,
the sacred birds of Morocco, who are supposed
to be Sultans in disguise.f The only fine building
is the Zouwiah (Zawya ) of Mulai Bu Ghalib, one of the
patron saints. Situated at the junction of
the routes to Tangier, Tetuan, Fez, Wazzan,
Mequinez, and Larache, it is surprising that it
should not be a place of greater importance and
pretensions.

* The town occupies the site of the Roman Oppidum NoTum " and
is actually built to a lar^e extent of Roman dressed stones," suggesting
a possibility of finding mteresting relics of the Latin occupation (says
Dr. Browne in his note on Leo Africanus). There is a Greek inscrip-
tion on a stone set into the Mosaue minaret.

House Of Rothschild Controllers Of The Material World

The Rothschilds have been in control of the world for a very long time, their tentacles reaching into many aspects of our daily lives, as is documented in the following timeline. However, before you jump to the timeline, please read this invaluable introduction which will tell you who the Rothschilds are as oppose to who they claim to be. The Rothschilds claim that they are Jewish, when in fact they are Khazars. They are from a country called Khazaria, which occupied the land locked between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea which is now predominantly occupied by Georgia. The reason the Rothschilds claim to be Jewish is that the Khazars under the instruction of the King, converted to the Jewish faith in 740 A.D., but of course that did not include converting their Asiatic Mongolian genes to the genes of the Jewish people.

Benjamin Disraeli, an Ashkenazi Jew (who would go on to become British Prime Minister twicethe Lord and Master of the money markets of the world, and of course virtually Lord and Master of everything else. He literally held the revenues of Southern Italy in pawn, and Monarchs and Ministers of all countries courted his advice and were guided by his suggestions.

they are only doing what they were created to do ...in an LCR circuit you always include a Resistance

the goal is to become an LC Circuit:

An LC circuit, also called a resonant circuit or tuned circuit, consists of an inductor, represented by the letter L, and a capacitor, represented by the letter C. When connected together, they can act as an electrical resonator, an electrical analogue of a tuning fork, storing electrical energy oscillating at the circuit's resonant frequency.

LC circuits are used either for generating signals at a particular frequency, or picking out a signal at a particular frequency from a more complex signal. They are key components in many electronic devices, particularly radio equipment, used in circuits such as oscillators, filters, tuners and frequency mixers.

An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to resistance. For a model incorporating resistance see RLC circuit. The purpose of an LC circuit is to oscillate with minimal damping, and for this reason their resistance is made as low as possible. While no practical circuit is without losses, it is nonetheless instructive to study this pure form to gain a good understanding.

GENDER

The Feminine particles vibrate rapidly under the influence of the Masculine energy (Inventors and Money

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on planes."-The Kybalion.

A Feminine corpuscle becomes detached from, or rather leaves, a Masculine corpuscle, and starts on a new career. It actively seeks a union with a Masculine corpuscle, being purged thereto by the natural impulse to create new forms of Matter or Energy. One writer goes so far as to use the term "it at once seeks, of its own volition, a union," etc. This detachment and uniting form the basis of the greater part of the activities of the chemical world. When the Feminine corpuscle unites with a Masculine corpuscle, a certain process is begun. The Feminine particles vibrate rapidly under the influence of the Masculine energy (Inventors and Money, and circle rapidly around the latter. The result is the birth of a new atom. This new atom is really composed of a union of the Masculine and Feminine electrons, or corpuscles, but when the union is formed the atom is a separate thing, having certain properties, but no longer manifesting the property of free electricity.

Paulicians (Armenian: Պաւլիկեաններ, also remembered as Pavlikians or Paulikianoi[1]) were a Christian Adoptionist sect and militarized revolt movement, also accused by medieval sources as Gnostic and quasi Manichaean Christian. They flourished between 650 and 872 in Armenia and the Eastern Themes of the Byzantine Empire.

Though the term "Cathar" has been used for centuries to identify the movement, whether the movement identified itself with this name is debatable.[2][3] In Cathar texts, the terms "Good Men" (Bons Hommes) or "Good Christians" are the common terms of self-identification.

I encourage anyone to read Llynch Paper...It does a great job at presenting to you the Potential within:

Each piece/bit of knowledge gained is a 'Point of Knowledge', Neuron.
Over time the number of Neurons increases.
Over time the 'Complexity' of the inter-connections between the Neurons increases.

Just those 3 things via a Natural Process of learning, will create the following benefits/value that a Traditional method can not match or can not do at all:

Much fast pace of Neuron creation.
Much higher number of Neurons created.
Much higher density and number of inter-connections between Neurons.

In turn provides the following as few examples:

Ever increasing number of correaltions.
Ever increasing creative capacity.
Ever increasing speed of evaluation.
Ever increasing speed of decision making.
Ever increasing points of reference to base decisions on.
Ever increasing accuracy in application of 'Intuition'.

It may be clear now, that this is where concept of 'Mysticism' originates from. The results of increasing a persons knowledge through a natural process, produces results/benefits that can not easily be described without the use of many adjectives. It truly does inspire poetic expression.

as you explain the process of how Neurons work, thought the following could be helpful

[MonsieurM]

fro: http://www.energeticforum.com/181683-post48.html

Thank you Llynch , it is always a pleasure reading you...and the manner by which you help clarify this Process makes Crystal Clear to grasp for anyone willing to venture into self understanding

Nature being our rule of thumb. There is always a progression from one state to another. The same is true with Knowledge, Awareness and Conciousness.

A Change in Knowledge automatically effects a Change in Awareness, which in turn automatically effects a Change in Conciousness.

Hence the Name tree of Knowledge

Traditional Method = Repetition of Knowledge regardless of Absorption Ability.
Natural Method = Gradual Increase of Quantity of Knowledge that Matches Absorption Ability.

both are useful as you wrote....the Traditional Method allows to start on your path (learn the basics as in guitar learning )...the Natural Method completes it as it uses the Traditional Method (the musical notes learned ) to create your symphony of knowledge

A major benefit of 'Learning' via the process given to us by nature is that it is 'Self' governing and almost completely automatic. This is because it is driven by one component we all have. Curiosity.

Curiosity is what creates Desire/Interest. By embracing it and allowing it to guide us, a person will be able to learn/obtain knowledge at a much faster pace, with much more depth and breadth with the additional benefit of quicker returned gratification, increased satisfaction and increased confidence. These are just a few of the benefits of allowing Curiosity to guide the learning process. A full list of examples would touch on every aspect of being human and the human experience.

Some Tips regarding the Natural Process of Learning:

Begin study at a point of 'Personal Interest'.
Follow your curiosity even if it departs from the intial point of study.
Never doubt the value of what is learned along the way. All knowledge is valuable.
Share, and never allow shame or negative perceptions to de-value gained knowledge.
A change of Perspective often rewards one with unique knowledge.
Try to notice the pattern/s of the learning path/s you have traveled.
Try to remove the concept of anything being the 'Final Word'.
Keep an eye open for relationships that exist with knowledge gained previously.
Be aware of how knowledge deepens appreciation of all that you perceive.
Realize the purity of curiosity.
Be aware that Curiosity is present throughout your life.

Khalil Gibran and the Art of Giving:

day and night is also worthy of getting everything he needs. He who deserves to drink from the ocean of life deserves to fill his bowl from the little stream..
Why demand that a man expose his heart and reveal his pride, so that you can decide whether he deserves help? Seek, rather, see if you deserve to. And you, who receives these things, do not assume any debt of gratitude, lest they create a loop domain with their benefactors. If we become too concerned with these debts, we will end up doubting the end of the generosity of the earth..

Thank you Z

a re post

the following is going to be fun ...........found this book :

Full text of "Mysterious Morocco, and how to appreciate it"

the following is applicable to many themes of our Discussion:

Introductory Remarks.

ALTHOUGH this brief epitome of Moorish
history runs to 40 pages, the space occupied
is not excessive. It is true of most
countries that you cannot understand to-day unless
you know something of yesterday, and this truth
applies with special force to Morocco, which
without some knowledge of its history would
be a hopeless enigma.

The anecdotes inserted are intended not only
to lighten the narrative, but to illustrate present
Moorish life. The incidents in the flight of Idris I.,
the building of Fez, &c., might mutatis mutandis
happen to-day. The stories of Kahena and of
Zeinab will show that women's life in the East is
not the mere harem existence it is supposed to
be.

Historical Sketch.

CHAPTER I.
Early Days.

Legends. Ancient legends tell of Antaeus, the mighty

Giant son of Atlas, King of Mauretania. The
monster killed all whom he could catch, to add
their skulls to a mound which he was raising in
honour of Neptune (which is none other than Poseidon God of Atlantis. Hercules destroyed him, and
the rocks which guard the Straits of Gibraltar are
known to this day as the " Pillars of Hercules."

The Berbers claim for themselves descent from Goliath of Gath,
the Amalekite giant who fell before the pebble of David, the shepherd
boy of Israel.

In 424 A.D. we find Bonifacius, the Roman
Count (Comes) of Africa, inviting Genseric the
Goth to Morocco. These kinsmen of our own
Anglo-Saxons accepted the invitation to such
purpose as to form a Vandal Empire which lasted
for about 80 years. Some ethnologists claim still to
recognise traces of the blood of the fair-haired blue-
eyed Goths amongst the mixed races of Morocco.

A Christian Hermit. Idris II. founds Fez.

On a fair hillside clothed in verdure and forest a
young Moorish noble is busying himself and a
few followers. It is February, in the year of
our Lord 808, and the country shows the tender
green due to the influence of spring. An old
hermit whose crucifix betokens his creed, and
whose solitude has been disturbed by the bustle,
asks him what he is doing. " Building a City The *' Book of Knowledge " of this
predecessor had also stated that "one day a son of
" the Prophets should come and rebuild, his name
" shall be Idris, and his achievements great : he
" shall plant Islam here, and it shall endure for
"ever." "Praised be God," said Idris, and starts
digging the foundations of Fez.

here is an interesting Family:

The Glories of Empire.

Origin of Again the change of dynasty had its origin in
Almohade a religious *' Revival." A desert Berber tribe
Power, inflamed with reforming zeal, rushed upon the
settled kingdom and subjugated it. Mohammed,
son of Tumart, the originator of the movement,
was a man of mark. He was originally a poor
student who visited the East and acquired a

reputation for sanctity.* As a mystic reverenced
under the title of " Mehdi " {the directed of God) he
found refuge in the Atlas Mountains not far
from Marrakesh, and passed on his mission to
Abd-el-Mumin, who took the Southern capital by
force of arms in 1 147-8 a.d. Abd-el-Mumin is the
favourite hero of Moorish history. He was a
great horseman, his skin was white and cheeks
ruddy, his eyes dark and his beard thick. He
was learned in " the Law and the Prophets " and
a devoted lover of poetry. But, above all, he
was a great administrator, and passed on an
organized Empire to his descendants.!

It was in his time that Sicily was ruled by Norman
Counts, and the tivo Rogers, father and son, were men
of great ability. They took Algeria, Tunis and Tripoli,
and would have carried their conquests furthey\ (says
the Arab historian) but for a quarrel which resulted in
war with the Byzantine Emperor, whom they defeated
and bearded in Constantinople.

* He was not particular as to the means. When he was beaten, he
got some friends to allow themselves to be buried alive with breathing
boles arranged. At night be took his followers to the battlefield and
addressed questions to the faithful dead. He was answered by his
confederates who told of the glories of Paradise. When the dupes had
gone, he buried his friends in real earnest. " Dead men tell no tales."

t One of the towns re-established by Abd el Mumin was Mequinez
(iijo A.D.), and the water supply of Sallee was laid on by him. He also
built the castle at Gibraltar (1161 (HM 9 ) a.d.).

J After the death of the second Roger, his son Gregory lost Algeria
and Tunis to Abd el Mumin, who thus extended his Empire till it
included Spain and the whole cf North Africa.


Abd-el-Mumin's son, Abou Yakoub Yussef, who
succeeded him (1163) was a great student,* and
administrator, who would be better known to
history, but for his eclipse by his more famous
brother

The greatest of this family was Abou Yussef
Yacoub, who is usually known emphatically as
" El Mansur " the Victorious (sometimes written
Almansor). He beat three Christian Kings
combined (Kings of Castille, Leon, and Aragon)
on the field of Alarcos (1195 a.d.).

the following made my heart skip a bit

* Averroes / Avicenna, one of the most famous Muslim philosophers (his proper
name is Abu-'l-Welid-ibn-Roshd), was at one time imprisoned by him
because he wrote " Venus then is one of the Divinities

Was just thinking about the word Sidonia as in

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars)

Cydonia is a region on the planet Mars, and has attracted both scientific[1] and popular interest.[2][3] The name originally referred to the albedo feature (distinctively coloured area) that was visible from Earthbound telescopes. The area borders plains of Acidalia Planitia and the Arabia Terra highlands.[4]

The area includes the Mars regions: "Cydonia Mensae", an area of flat-topped mesa-like features, "Cydonia Colles", a region of small hills or knobs, and "Cydonia Labyrinthus", a complex of intersecting valleys.[5][6] As with other albedo features on Mars, the name Cydonia was drawn from classical antiquity, in this case from Kydonia, a historic polis (or "city-state") on the island of Crete

Here is a Town of great interest:

Medina-Sidonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Medina-Sidonia is a city and municipality in the province of in the autonomous community of Andalusia, southern Spain. It is considered by some to be the oldest city in Europe, used as a military defense location due to its elevated location. Locals are known as Asidonenses. The city's name comes from Medina (Arabic for city) and Sidonia (of Sidon), meaning "City of Sidon".

Medina-Sidonia was one of Spain's most important ducal seats in the 15th century; producing an admiral,

this was probably one of the most intriguing scifi book, read a while ago:

American Gods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

American Gods is a Hugo and Nebula Award-winning[1] novel by Neil Gaiman. The novel is a blend of Americana, fantasy, and various strands of ancient and modern mythology, all centering on a mysterious and taciturn protagonist, Shadow. It is Gaiman's fourth prose novel, being preceded by Good Omens (a collaboration with Terry Pratchett), Neverwhere, and Stardust. Several of the themes touched upon in the book were previously glimpsed in The Sandman graphic novels.

The central premise of the novel is that gods and mythological creatures exist because people believe in them. Immigrants to the United States brought with them dwarves, elves, leprechauns, and other spirits and gods. However, the power of these mythological beings has diminished as people's beliefs wane. New gods have arisen, reflecting America's obsessions with media, celebrity, technology, and drugs, among others.
