Cosmic Glue

  Milky Way possibly depicted in ancient Egyptian coffins, study finds Similar curved motifs have also been found in tombs in the Valley of the Kings, including those of Ramesses IV, VI, and IX, as well as on the ceiling of the tomb of Seti I. These curves divide cosmological scenes, especially in the Books of the Day and Night, where arched figures of Nut are depicted back-to-back.  As Dr. Graur contends, these visual characteristics further reinforce his theory that the ancient Egyptians might have linked such curves with the Milky Way. Interestingly, these wavy features occur in the cosmological artwork of Indigenous American cultures, such as the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni, where they represent the Milky Way. Despite the visual connections, Dr. Graur cautions against equating Nut (above) with the Milky Way itself.   Nut’s body is represented as covered with stars in perhaps a quarter of the cosmological vignettes under study, implying that Egyptians during the 21s...

Ancient Chinese star chart dated to 2,300 years ago may be the oldest ever, challenging astronomy history by Dario Radley May 17, 2025 A new study has re-ignited academic debate over the origins of the world’s earliest star chart, placing an ancient Chinese manuscript—the Star Manual of Master Shi—at the forefront of world astronomical history.  Using a cutting-edge artificial intelligence technique, researchers at the Chinese National Astronomical Observatories dated this manuscript to around 355 BCE, placing its origin over two centuries earlier than previously believed and making it the oldest star catalog ever discovered. The Dunhuang map—distinct from the chart studied in the new research—is an early Chinese star map from the Tang Dynasty (CE 618–907). Public domain The study, currently under review by Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics , applied the Generalized Hough Transform, a sophisticated computer vision method, to digital images of the manuscript. The...

  Found at last : the veritable Garden of Eden, or a place that answers the Bible description of that notable spot better than anything yet discovered David Oyer Van Slyke (1818-1890) was an itinerant minister, a "circuit rider," in western Wisconsin. He was also a fervent abolitionist who marched off to the Civil War at the age of 44 alongside his 17-year-old son. Although apparently not formally ordained, Van Slyke read the Bible from cover to cover more than 20 times and preached wherever a group of believers wanted him. He became convinced that the Garden of Eden as described in the Book of Genesis had in fact been located at Trempealeau, Wis. He makes that claim in this tiny (ca. 3x5 inch) pamphlet which he published himself in 1886. It was printed on very poor paper and most copies vanished long ago. The one given here was inscribed and sent to the Wisconsin Historical Society library by Van Slyke soon after its publication.             ...

It Will Look Like We’re Losing. That’s When the Empires Start to Fall. Pluto goes backward. The machines break. The future sharpens its teeth. You were born for the world that comes next.   AS ABOVE, SO WTF BELOW: The Revolution Is Already Breathing Under Your Skin Pluto retrograde in Aquarius does not politely ask if you are ready. It does not send an invitation gilded with gold. It kicks down your door. It sets the carefully curated lies on fire. It snarls in your face. Choose. Change. Create. Or be forgotten. And during this retrograde, it will look like we are losing. It will feel like the empire is growing stronger. The machines may shout louder. The systems may grip tighter. The networks of rebellion may fracture and bleed. But this is the oldest trick in the book of collapse. Retrograde is a mirror cracked just wrong enough to convince you that power is out of reach. In truth, this is the season where the rot inside broken systems reveals itself. False ...

  📜 The 300-Year Hole in History by Me Stuff What Are We Missing and Why? Read on Substack     So 2012 technically may still be a doomsday?   COMMENT:  That's a reference to the Mayan long count. But the guys who deciphered it, couldn't count. Try 2040 for dooms day. Then try and decipher all the changes to all the different "calendars" we have had. Some say it's 2046 for doomsday....when bored, go and count the number of times that Noah's Ark has been found... Lol!... we got 285 years till that happens.

Me Stuff May 13, 2025 Have you ever had that strange feeling that something in our collective past just doesn’t add up? Maybe you’ve come across old architecture that seems too advanced for its time. Or timelines in historical records that feel suspiciously neat. Or perhaps you've stumbled onto whispers of a mystery many researchers and thinkers—often written off as fringe—call "phantom time." What if the history we've been taught isn't just distorted... but deliberately edited? A Distorted Timeline? Let’s get something straight: historical chronology isn’t a simple, unbroken chain. Much of what we “know” about the past was pieced together by medieval monks, Renaissance scholars, and 19th-century academics with biases, missing data, and in some cases, agendas. The most famous version of ...
