Si-Te-Cah_Red Haired Giant Tribe of Nevada

They had red hair, and are sometimes described as having been cannibals. In some versions of the legend they were giants. In 1911, a large amount of artifacts and mummified human remains were discovered under three to six feet of guano by guano miners in Lovelock Cave.
Although the cave had been mined since 1911, miners did not notify authorities until 1912. The miners destroyed many of the artifacts, but archaeologists were still able to retrieve 10,000 Northern Paiute artifacts from the cave. Items included tule duck decoys, nets, a pair of sandals, and baskets, several dating back over 2,000 years.
Name
"Si-Te-Cah" means "tule-eaters" in the Northern Paiute language.Tule or Schoenoplectus acutus is a fibrous water plant. In order to escape harassment from the Paiutes, the Si-Te-Cahs were said to have lived on rafts made of tule on Lake Humboldt.
Oral history
According to archaeologists Llewellyn L. Loud and Mark Raymond Harrington, writing in 1929, the Northern Paiutes "have accounts of an extinct people living in various localities in Nevada". They expressed doubts over whether these were real historical traditions or whether "They should be regarded as an attempt by the Northern Paiute to explain the archaeological remains of a cultural period preceding their own".
They summarise the descriptions of the Si-Te-Cah given to them by local informants thus: "Characteristics of this ancient people are that they made some of their implements differently from the Northern Paiute and of different stone materials. They had spears and no arrows, while the Northern Paiute had arrows but no spears. They were mean, contemptible, foolish, degraded cannibals, had red hair which they were excessively fond of decorating with bone ornaments, and yet were so poor that they dressed in robes made of the skin and feathers of the mud hen. In a collection of specimens from Nevada every object which is unfamiliar to a Northern Paiute is attributed to them".
Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of Paiute Chief Winnemucca, wrote in 1883 about what she described as "a small tribe of barbarians" who ate her people in her book Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims. She wrote that "after my people had killed them all, the people round us called us Say-do-carah. It means conqueror; it also means 'enemy.' My people say that the tribe we exterminated had reddish hair. I have some of their hair, which has been handed down from father to son. I have a dress which has been in our family a great many years, trimmed with the reddish hair. I am going to wear it some time when I lecture. It is called a mourning dress, and no one has such a dress but my family." She also reported hearing old women say that white people ate people, quoting one as saying "Yes, they do eat people, because they ate each other up in the mountains last winter."
The accounts of when all this is supposed to have happened are confused, from "many hundred years ago" (Winnemucca) to "four or five generations ago" (Winnemucca's brother, known as Natchez) to "an old Northern Paiute man recently died at Stillwater who is said to have taken part in it, and to have had one eye shot out by an arrow in one of the charges on the cave mouth" (reported by Loud and Harrington).
Some accounts describe the Si-Te-Cah as very tall, or as giants, a thing not mentioned either by Winnemucca or by Loud and Harrington, who say that all their informants describe "ordinary human beings living an entirely rational human life. It is barely possible that further inquiry might bring out supernatural traits, but of all the numerous references made to them, there are no characteristics mentioned but what might well be possessed by some tribe hostile to the Northern Paiute".
Excavations
Main article: Lovelock Cave
A written report by James H. Hart, the first of two miners to excavate the cave in the fall of 1911, recalls that in the north-central part of the cave, about four feet deep, "was a striking looking body of a man 'six feet six inches tall.' His body was mummified and his hair distinctly red." Unfortunately in the first year of mining, some of the human remains and artifacts were lost and destroyed. "The best specimen of the adult mummies was boiled and destroyed by a local fraternal lodge, which wanted the skeleton for initiation purposes."
Adrienne Mayor writes about the Si-Te-Cah in her book Fossil Legends of the First Americans. She suggests that the "giant" interpretation of the skeletons from Lovelock Cave and other dry caves in Nevada was started by entrepreneurs setting up tourist displays and that the skeletons themselves were of normal size. However, about a 100 miles north of Lovelock there are plentiful fossils of mammoths and cave bears, and their large limbed bones could easily be thought to be those of giants by an untrained observer. She also discusses the reddish hair, pointing out that hair pigment is not stable after death and that various factors such as temperature, soil, etc. can turn ancient very dark hair rusty red or orange. Another explanation for the "giant" interpretation of the skeletons may also come from the fact that the body of the 6 ft 6in man was described by Hart as "a giant" in comparison to the much smaller apparently female skeletons
Hidden Underworld of the Giza Plateau
A vast network of underground chambers and water tunnels h... more Hidden Underworld of the Giza Plateau
A vast network of underground chambers and water tunnels have been discovered beneath several of the world’s most well-known pyramids, including the Great Pyramid on Egypt’s Giza Plateau.
For centuries these ancient tunnels have remained hidden and off-limits to everyone but a select few. But now they are coming into the Light and what is being found raises even deeper questions.
There is an ancient Hermetic saying: “As Above, so Below,” meaning “That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the Miracle of the One Thing.”
This is especially true when it comes to the many mysteries surrounding all the world’s pyramids. In truth, we are just beginning to put together the puzzle pieces that have eluded us for centuries. Therefore, I was determined to know more about what was below ground.
Access to the Underworld
It wasn’t easy getting permission to explore under the Giza Plateau. Negotiations to enter the hidden shafts began in 2017. We were initially met with suspicion by Egyptian authorities who wanted to know who we were, what we wanted, and how we even knew about the shafts. They claimed no one had been down there in decades. Initially they refused our request, but eventually caved in for a price. In Egypt, all things are negotiable. (Our entry has now opened the way for others wanting access, but also for a hefty price.)
So it was in early 2018, at 4:30 AM, when a Giza Plateau inspector, my Egyptologist friend Hares and myself plodded across the desert sands with only a flashlight to light our way in the morning chill. A military police escort hovered nearby.
In the darkness, we were led to an iron-gated entry under the causeway between the pyramids. The inspector handed me the key and allowed me the honor of opening this secret doorway. In the past they referred to this hidden place as “that shaft complex”. They now officially call it the “Osiris Shaft”.
A few steps inside the heavy gate there is a square hole in the ground. The inspector pointed to an iron ladder leading down this first shaft. From what I could see in the darkness, it didn’t look all that sturdy and I had no idea how old or maintained it was. This was one time when no male offered to go first. Instead, they let me lead the way with the caveat, “be careful.” (The liability factor in traversing such shafts would be off the charts in the U.S., but things are different in Egypt.)
I was told there were three lower levels, the last leading to the water tunnels more than 125 feet (38 meters) below ground.
The first level opened to a spacious but empty room. The air felt close and dusty, the temperature much warmer with little outside ventilation. I continued my descent to the second level, the longest, where the lighting was low, lit by a single bulb hanging from the ceiling which someone had thought to put in place years ago.
I stepped down and turned to find a chamber room with seven niches for seven large sarcophagi. Only two black basalt and granite sarcophagi were still there, both empty with their heavy lids slightly ajar. They had to weigh several tons. I wondered how they had managed to remove the other five sarcophagi, if they indeed existed. I was told this chamber was for the “favored ones”—the guardians which tended to be the highest of priests.
According to Herodotus, ancient Egyptian priests spoke of a long-held tradition of the creation of underground chambers by the original builders of ancient Memphis. These stories were confirmed when these large cavities were discovered during a survey conducted at Giza in 1993.
It is less well-known that this Osiris Shaft was actually discovered as early as 1933–34 by famed Egyptologist, Dr. Selim Hassan. He claimed that the tomb dated from the Saitic period (26th Dynasty, c. 600 BC), and labelled it “the most extraordinary example of this type of tomb hole”. Others dispute this dating and believe it dates back much earlier.
I looked down the last shaft and saw water was up to the last rung of the ladder leading to the third underground chamber. It is known that as early as 1934, the third chamber was already under water. Dr. Selim Hassan tried to clear the chamber but, after four years of pumping, the water level had not descended.
This chamber is known to flood and this year the water had mysteriously risen higher than expected. The authorities have no idea why this is occurring nor the source of the water. The Nile, which flows north, and is considered to be the largest river in the world, is approximately 5 miles east of the Giza Plateau.
Hidden Sarcophagus under Pyramids
I climbed down to a narrow ledge and got my first look at this mysterious chamber. The energy down there feels electrified, the air even feels cleaner. The water is clear but filled with silt and some debris. A rotting wood platform structure leans off to the right of the chamber, probably left behind from Dr. Hassan’s day.
And then I saw it, a stone slab cover to a sarcophagus buried just beneath the water’s surface. There were undecipherable markings on the slab, a crisscross of deeply carved lines and some symbols.
There are those who believe this to be the tomb of the god Osiris, which is why they refer to it as the Osiris Shaft. However, my inside sources reveal it to be anything but a tomb. My magnetometer had a higher reading than the norm, suggesting something else entirely. One of my sources, an expert timeline reader, claims it is a dimensional portal that only those that have the correct DNA can ever hope to open. It’s hermetically sealed by some form of ancient technology process. Interesting, if true!
The Giza Inspector confirmed it had never been opened, which one would find odd, unless they had already tried to open it and had been unsuccessful. The water looked to be about mid-thigh on a man but could be deeper in parts further back.
While the water down there is relatively clear, there exists a hodgepodge of construction debris from earlier explorers–broken stones, scattered wooden slats, some papyrus strips, and a strange white filmy substance on the water in several places. I wasn’t sure of the bacteria levels, so I put on plastic gloves and filled up sterile containers with water samples. I had come prepared.
As I crouched down to obtain my samples, my Mena House hotel key card literally leapt out of my backpack. Instead of falling by my feet as physics would allow, the card bizarrely flew out across a short span of water and onto the top of the stone sarcophagus. One couldn’t help but feel there were some unseen observers down there that day observing our entry into their watery crypt.
The Giza Inspector used a wood strip to attempt to retrieve my key card, but the card slid down further into the silt where it will probably remain forever. Someday, someone will find it and wonder who it belonged to. It felt like I was meant to leave something personal behind. How ironic that it was to be my room key.
Hidden Depths of the Giza Water Tunnels
Off to the left of the cavern area is a tunnel entrance, leading to other tunnels that may extend for miles, linking other pyramid sites. The Egyptian authorities suspect there to be artifacts hidden under the water, possibly a treasure trove of information as well, which the Egyptian government has been reluctant to fully explore.
There is always the possibility that what they find may pre-date Egyptian culture, disproving the accepted timeline of history. It might reveal instead an earlier pre-dynastic culture which some scholars have referred to as the “Atlantic Period”, relating to those who fled a catastrophic flood event on earth and brought advanced knowledge to the Egyptian lands to preserve it from future global destruction. These “Atlanteans” may indeed be the true builders of the ancient pyramids.
It may be that the water tunnel system was built prior to the actual building of the pyramids. If the Great Pyramid was indeed intended as some kind of ancient power plant, as some physicists and engineers have theorized, then it would indeed need water to generate power.

The colonial empires were well established. There were many technological, scientific, and cultural innovations. The arts flourished in Paris and elsewhere. Many masterpieces of literature, music, theatre, and visual art were created.
The Belle Époque was named after the event. It was considered a "Golden Age" in contrast to the horrors of World War I. The Belle Epoque was a period in which, according to historian R.R. Palmer, "European civilization achieved its greatest power in global politics, and also exerted its maximum influence upon peoples outside Europe".
In the United Kingdom, the Belle Époque overlapped with the late Victorian era and the Edwardian era in a period known as Pax Britannica. In Germany, the Belle Époque coincided with the reigns of William I, Frederick III and Wilhelm II. In Italy, with the reigns of Victor Emmanuel II, Umberto I and early of the reign of Victor Emmanuel III. In Russia, with the reigns of Alexander III and Nicholas II.
In the United States, after the Panic of 1873, the same period was called the Gilded Age (1870s–1900s).[3] In Brazil, it started with the end of the Paraguayan War. In Mexico, the period was known as the Porfiriato, and in Japan, it coincided with the Meiji period.
THE GREAT FROST & UNDERGROUND CITIES
THE GREAT FROST AND UNDERGROUND CITIES
In the ancient texts of Zoroaster, there is a story of ... more THE GREAT FROST AND UNDERGROUND CITIES
In the ancient texts of Zoroaster, there is a story of a catastrophic event that devastated the Earth: a sudden and brief ice age, called “the days of Malkush”, which lasted about three years. Before this disaster occurred, a deity, Ahura Mazda, offered a means of salvation: to build underground cities to protect themselves from the frost. Could there be some truth in this story, which seems to come straight out of a science fiction novel?
What you see in the photo is Derinkuyu, a mysterious underground city located in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. According to archaeologists, the center of this city already existed 2,800 years ago, at least 8 centuries before Christ. We're talking about an entire city, excavated at a depth of 85 meters, capable of housing up to 20,000 people. But it's likely that the natural caves also predate that date.
Derinkuyu is not a simple cave: it is a complex structure, with 18 underground levels, including wells, chapels, stables, schools and even areas dedicated to the production of wine and oil. Some parts of the city show traces of reuse in medieval times, with the addition of Christian religious structures, but the original nucleus dates back to a much more ancient era.
The city was “rediscovered” only in 1963, when a man, during renovations to his house, accidentally found a tunnel leading to this underground world. Since then, Derinkuyu has become one of the most fascinating examples of ancient human ingenuity.
Derinkuyu is not an isolated case. As modern technology allows us to explore the underground world, we are discovering that underground cities and tunnel networks are a widespread phenomenon all over the world:
Egypt: Beneath the Giza Plateau, there is a vast underground system of caverns, artificial tunnels and rivers. Some researchers, such as Dr. Selim Hassan, have documented passages that extend for kilometers, suggesting that the ancient Egyptians (or perhaps an earlier civilization) knew advanced excavation techniques.
Guatemala: Beneath the Mayan pyramid complex of Tikal, 800 kilometers of tunnels have been mapped, many of which are still unexplored.
China: In 1992, 24 artificial caves were discovered in the province of Zhejiang, excavated with incredible precision. It is estimated that 36,000 cubic meters of stone were removed to build them.
Europe: Thousands of Stone Age tunnels, called “Erdstall”, extend across the continent, leaving archaeologists perplexed as to their original purpose.
Today we know that about 12,000 years ago, the Earth was hit by a sudden and intense ice age, called the Younger Dryas. This event, which lasted about 1,300 years, caused a drastic drop in temperature and disrupted global ecosystems. Is it possible that the “days of Malkush” narrated by Zoroaster are a distorted memory of this cataclysm? And if so, were underground cities like Derinkuyu built to protect themselves from the frost?
But there's more: what, or who, were the ancients protecting themselves from when they dug these cities? How could people who, theoretically, didn't know iron or the wheel, create such complex works? Even with 21st-century technology, building a city like Derinkuyu would take decades of work.
What is our past hiding from us? Is it possible that advanced civilizations, now forgotten, have left traces of their passage under our feet?

The western mountain barrier of China is high and majestic. So far away, with snow-capped peaks reaching up to the Godly spaces. The east slope of those mountains is protected by vast deserts and arid grasslands that taunt those who approach with a thirsty death even before they can reach such celestial heights. They are called Tian Chan, the “Mountains of Heaven.” A place far away from Beijing. Or Baghdad. And even farther from here.
But such distances must be crossed. Chinese silk must find its market, and the central Asian mystery penetrated. Samarkand⎯is there a more exotic name in the world?⎯must be reached. Tamerlane’s beautiful capital of Transoxiana. The Silk Road demonstrated the power of trade then. It was the physical analog to our digital trade in stocks today.
So how to get that road of silk around those Mountains of Heaven? To make way for Marco Polo? Pasta, too, and paper!
THE DZUNGARIAN GATE
From China, to the south, lies the Tarim Basin, the Great Desert flanking a then independent Tibet. No water, few oases, and no grass. So no horses, and few marauding bandits riding them. Up north more water, more grass, and a pass! Ride through, but ride fast. You are not the only ones on horseback there!
The pass is a fault through the Tian Chan Mountains. A straight, flat, six-mile wide passage through to the grasslands of Central Asia and Lake Balkhash. Pass through, turn south, and head toward Samarkand. Follow the wind. For, surely this is the land of the Greek god, Boreas, master of the cold winter blasts. A land of gold guarded by Griffins. And there are dinosaur fossils in the region. You would be kept up at night in the ferocious blowing winds, convinced you were hearing the screams of those long dead monsters.
THE BATTLE OF TALAS
And that brings us back to 751 A.D. One-hundred-nineteen years after the death of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in Medina, Arabia. Ninety years after the founding of the Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus, Syria. And only one year after the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate, soon to be centered at Baghdad. The Abbasids were ascendant and were to enter a golden age of Islamic power and learning.
The Tang Dynasty of China was also in a golden age, exemplifying the advanced culture of Chinese civilization. But it was about to founder. It, too, was
interested in the Silk Road and trading lands far to the west in Central Asia. So China reached out across those vast deserts and grasslands.
Did their armies ride through the Dzungarian Gate? Probably, for they met the armies of the Abbasids just south of that area along the Talas River in Central Asia. They fought for five days, treachery eventually overcoming the Chinese forces. Twenty thousand Chinese prisoners, it was said, were captured.
It was one of those pivotal battles of history. The Tang Dynasty soon faced the “An Lushan” rebellion at home. So they adventured no further to the west. The Abbasids, seeing only deserts and arid grasslands beyond the gate, sallied no further east. Central Asia is predominantly Muslim today, as a result.
But other developments flowed from that battle. Chinese paper-making technology was brought to Baghdad by the Chinese prisoners. Much of the wisdom of the west was accordingly preserved in Muslim universities. And Buddhism in China, which had originally sprung up in India, was now cut off from its roots. No land route for its adherents to travel to India’s holy sites. Is that what caused Buddhism in the east to flourish and develop? What did Huston Smith say? “Big Boat” and “Small Boat” Buddhism?
So, if you were in that place, and your timing was right, you might have seen the battle that you never heard of. And one from which so much of our current world order, and knowledge, still flows.

Il castello, che domina la valle del Tirino e l’altopiano di Navelli a poca distanza dalla piana di Campo Imperatore in Abruzzo, è situato su un crinale a 1.460 metri d’altezza, in una posizione molto favorevole dal punto di vista difensivo ed era utilizzato come punto d’osservazione militare in comunicazione con altre torri e castelli vicini, sino all’Adriatico.
La struttura, interamente in pietra bianca a conci squadrati, si compone di un maschio centrale, probabilmente preesistente, di una cerchia muraria merlata in ciottoli e quattro torri d’angolo a base circolare fortemente scarpate. L’accesso avviene attraverso un’apertura sul lato orientale posta a circa cinque metri da terra, cui si accede attraverso una rampa in legno, originariamente retrattile, poggiata di mensole in pietra.
Il castello, danneggiato dal terremoto del 1703, è stato soggetto a una serie di restauri conservativi tra il 1986 ed il 1989.

While Santa brings good children presents, Gryla has an unsatisfiable hunger for naughty children and she is always grumpy. Like Krampus, she kidnaps them in a sack. She then brings them home to cook them alive and turn them into a stew.
Like Santa, Gryla has helpers. Her thriteen sons, known as the Yule Lads. They are usually much less cruel then their mother, and simply play pranks on people during the Christmas season (depends upon the version, some tales have the Yule Lads as homicidal child-eating monsters, especially older stories).
Gryla also has a giant cat named The Yule Cat. Whether or not you were naughty or nice, or if you're an adult or child, you are at risk of being eaten by The Yule Cat. The only people he won't eat are those who have gotten new clothes for Christmas.
Gryla is married to her third husband named Leppaluoi, who lives in the Dimmuborgir lava fields in a cave (this historic area is rife with supernatural mischief according to folklore, due to its unique natural "castle" formations and traditional tales of it being the place Satan himself landed when he fell from Heaven).
There are several passages in the Old Testament that speak of the Rephaim (or Rephaites), and the... more There are several passages in the Old Testament that speak of the Rephaim (or Rephaites), and the context describes them as giants. The name of these people literally means “terrible ones.”
The Hebrew word Rephaim has two distinct meanings: first, in poetic literature it refers to departed spirits whose dwelling place was Sheol. It is a figurative description of the dead, similar to our concept of a ghost. The second meaning of Rephaim is “a mighty people with tall stature who lived in Canaan.” The word doesn’t seem to be ethno-centric like “Jew” or “Egyptian” but is more of a descriptive term. This second meaning will be the focus of this article.
The first reference to the Rephaim is Genesis 14:5, when the Rephaim, Zuzim and Emim people were defeated in a battle with Kedorlaomer and his allies. When the Israelites first approached the Promised Land after the Exodus from Egypt, they were afraid to enter the land because it was filled with “giants” (the word used in Numbers 13:33 is Nephilim), the sons of Anak. Giants were widely scattered through Canaan, but were known by different local names, including Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim, and Anakim. Deuteronomy 2:20–21 says the Rephaim were strong and tall, like the Anakites. Og, king of Bashan, was described as the last of the Rephaim in his land (Deuteronomy 3:11), and his bed was thirteen feet long and six feet wide.
Is it possible that the Rephaim were literal giants? The Septuagint uses the Greek words gigas and titanes (the source of the English titan) to translate these and other verses, so the ancient Jews certainly considered them to be giants. They are described generally as being between 7 and 10 feet tall and are called “mighty men.” The Egyptians wrote about giants who lived in the land of Canaan, and the folklore of other nations is full of such references. The people of the ancient world accepted the presence of giants as a fact of history, and the Bible presents them as enemies who were destroyed either by the judgment of God or in battle with men.
So where did these giants come from? One theory, based on Genesis 6:1–4, is that fallen angels (the sons of God) had sexual relations with women, resulting in the birth of giants. This is remarkably similar to Greek and Roman myths about demi-gods, but the theory has some theological and biological obstacles. Another theory, also based on Genesis 6, is that the fallen angels, having knowledge of human genetics, indwelt certain men and women who would have the right traits to produce a race of giants and induced them to cohabit with each other. A third theory is that the giants were simply the result of normal genetic variability within a society. Whatever the origin of the Rephaim, it is certain that a race of “giants”—strong, tall people—did exist at one time, and many cultures had dealings with them. Even today, there are people who grow to extreme sizes, whether through genetic disorders like gigantism or through normal heredity.
Ljubljana : History of the City of Dragons
The Legend of Ljubljana’s Dragon

The legend of the Dragon of Ljubljana comes back to the epic of Jason and the Argonauts. For the uninitiated, Jason and his Argonauts are Greek heroes on a quest to find the Golden Fleece. Their quest made them sail different isles and cities, encountering danger in every way.
According to the story, Jason and his Argonauts sailed to Colchis. Colchis is the modern-day Black Sea coast of Georgia. As he is looking for the Golden Fleece, Jason had to perform three tasks set by the King of Colchis.
Jason succeeded with the help of Medea, the king’s daughter who fell in love with the hero. Jason and his team earn the Golden Fleece defeating the dragon and run away with Medea in tow. Even if the hero won Medea’s hand and the Fleece, Jason and the Argo had to evade the king’s fleet.
The Founding of Ljubljana
The Argo will eventually evade the entire pursuit, but their haste caused a critical error. Instead of going south to the Aegean Sea, the Argo now entered the mouth of the Danube River instead.
The Argos continue sailing the Danube, going their way to the Sava and eventually to the source, the Ljubljanica River. The source of the river is marshy and Jason, with his band, need to dismantle their ship as the waters grew shallow.
Jason then decided to cross the land towards the Adriatic Sea, but winter came. The heroes settled in the locale to wait for more favorable weather. The Argonauts built a village on the marsh, but they made it on top of a dragon’s hunting grounds.
The Dragon attacked the village, spitting fire and burning half of their homes. Some of the Argonauts drowned, with one taken as dinner by the Dragon.
Jason then set out to kill the Dragon, wading through the marsh and finding a large island being the Dragon’s den.
Jason and Medea attacked the Dragon but failing to do damage to it. Medea counseled Jason to bind the Dragon’s mouth and close off its nostrils with its victims’ bones. With nowhere to exhale, the Dragon exploded, combusting under its own fire.
Jason decided to return to Greece, but several Argonauts decided to settle the fertile lands around Ljubljana. The first settlement became the Roman fort of Emona, which became present-day Ljubljana.
The True History of the Ljubljana Dragon
As interesting as the myth is, the real history of Ljubljana’s Dragon is as fascinating. The real accepted history of the Dragon comes from Saint George, known as the patron saint of Ljubljana Castle’s chapel.
The Ljubljana Castle came in the 15th century, following the legend of its patron saint. The legend of Saint George shows the slaying of a dragon who demanded human sacrifice. The saint then rescues the princess, which was the quintessential knight vs dragon story.
The entire legend was also a symbolism of Christianity and the religion overcoming paganism. The Dragon eventually became the city’s coat of arms. Through the Baroque period, it outweighed everything else when it comes to importance.
Through the centuries, the Dragon became the symbol of Ljubljana. It became the capital city’s protector and perched over it, overseeing everything happening. It became a symbol of courage, wisdom, and power to the entire country.
The story of dragons in Ljubljana did not stop at legends. The dragon stories of Ljubljana connected to the existence of real-life “baby dragons.” These come in the form of Olms or aquatic cave salamanders.
The first records of “baby dragons” existed in a cave beneath the spring of Vrhnika, near Ljubljana. By the 19th century, villagers sell the salamanders as tourist products. Today, the “baby dragons” still exist in the caves of Postojna and Skocjan.

He is renowned for his spirit, and possesses the supernatural ability to adjust his size to his riders.
Bayard first appears as the property of Renaud de Montauban in the Old French twelfth century chanson de geste Quatre Fils Aymon. The horse was capable of carrying Rinaldo and his three brothers ("the four sons of Aymon") all at the same time and of understanding human speech. Near the end of the work, Renaud is forced to cede Bayard to Charlemagne who, as punishment for the horse's exploits, has a large stone tied to Bayard's neck and has the horse pushed into the river; Bayard however smashes the stone with his hooves and escapes to live forever more in the woods.
Outside the Walloon town of Dinant in Belgium stands "Bayard Rock", a large cleft rock formation that was said to have been split by Bayard's mighty hooves. In Namur, the next town downriver along the Meuse, stands a locally famous statue of Bayard and the Four Aymon Brothers. There are plenty of named places in Wallonia linked to the legend of Four Aymon Brothers and Bayard.
The Bayard legend is also celebrated in other towns in Belgium — most notably in the Flemish town of Dendermonde, where a large procession is organised every ten years. The rivalry between Dendermonde and Aalst, a city close by, has led to the construction of the Steed Balatum[clarification needed] by the inhabitants of Aalst, as a parody on Bayard. Brussels (as part of the Ommegang), Mechelen and Ath all organise processions that include Bayard. There are also Bayard statues in Ghent and Grembergen.

The village is divided into two areas: Valdragone di Sopra (Upper V.) and Valdragone di Sotto (Lower V.). It is situated close at the east of Borgo Maggiore and also close to Cailungo and Domagnano.
The name of Valdragone appears for the first time in historical documents of 1253. The Monastero di Santa Chiara was built from 1969 to 1971.
According to legend, the name "Valdragone" comes from stories of a dragon that appeared there. From Italian val, apocopic form of valle ("valley") + dragone ("dragon").
Antediluvian Goddesses
If, as Xenophanes observed, humans create gods in their own image (21B15 D-K) it seems curious th... more If, as Xenophanes observed, humans create gods in their own image (21B15 D-K) it seems curious that there is such sustained enthusiasm in modern times for an archetypal Mother Goddess. For unlike goddesses in Greek literature, the Mother Goddess does not think or speak or interact with other gods or humans. In what has been taken to be the authoritative book on the subject, Marija Gimbutas’ The Language of the Goddess, the female figures are shown sitting or standing, sometimes alone and sometimes flanked by infants or animals, remote from the world of other gods or adult humans.1 The Goddess is distinguished in these images not for her wit or moral strength or vengeful anger, but for her prominent breasts, gaping mouth, and her swollen belly, as if she were synonymous with her reproductive organs.
Nonetheless, this Goddess is celebrated in Wicca and in several New Age cults,2 as well as in a lively popular literature.3 The authors of books about the Goddess take it for granted that her existence has been confirmed by the discovery of prehistoric artifacts. Joseph Campbell, who is regarded many people in the U.S.A. as an authority on all ancient mythologies, stated that Gimbutas’ work provided a “lexicon of the pictorial script” of Goddess religion. According to Campbell, Goddess religion was an expression of “that primordial attempt on humanity’s part to understand and live in harmony with the beauty and wonder of Creation” in contrast to the story of creation in Genesis, and the “manipulated systems of the West”. As he saw it, rediscovery of her religion addressed the “need in our time for a general transformation of consciousness.”4
But could a religion that so precisely met the needs of the twentieth century C.E. have existed in the twentieth century B.C.E.? Certainly not in the form that Gimbutas, Campbell, or any of their predecessors imagined it. The present book shows why. Editors Lucy Goodison (University College, London) and Christine Morris (Trinity College, Dublin) explain in a brief, but informative introduction that in reality the Goddess is a recent creation, not of women in the distant past, as many of her enthusiasts suppose, but of male academics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The ktistes of her cult was of course J.J. Bachofen, but she had influential priests like C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann.5 Their theories influenced the work of prehistoric archaeologists, such as Sir Arthur Evans and James Mellaart. As the women movement gathered force, the notion of a prehistoric Mother Goddess was taken up earnestly even by academics like Gimbutas and historian Gerda Lerner.6 The moral sub-text of these works leant credibility to their arguments: most of the evils of the present-day world had been introduced as a result of the dominance of men.
By the 1960s archaeologists had begun to question the existence of the Goddess, in part because they saw what extravagant deductions were being made on the basis of a fragmentary body of material evidence. How (for example) was it possible to know what Cycladic figurines represented, in the absence of written evidence, and when there were no exact records of the proveniences in which the artifacts had been found? The authors of the essays in the book have reexamined the evidence “in areas where claims for the Goddess have been most insistent”. The result, as the editors put it, is a “revelation. Not of a single, fundamental pattern universally repeating itself, but of a picture of staggering diversity”. There are many different kinds and types of goddesses, but no Goddess. Here is a brief account of the some of the significant material in this detailed and extensively documented book.

This book outlined a heterodox general theory of astronomy and the earth sciences that Horbiger had been working out since the 1880s - namely, that the universe was largely made of water ice and that ice infall profoundly affected the Earth and its climate.
Horbiger's cosmogony, which came to be known as the Welteislehre (world ice theory) or WEL, also claimed that the Milky Way was largely a ring of ice crystals surrounding the solar system.
Using evidence from the Bible and traditional mythologies, plus a doubtful command of geology, Horbiger further asserted that a number of icy moons had spiraled into the Earth, leading to a series of global catastrophes. In the interwar years, the WEL acquired many lay adherents (but little scientific support) in Central Europe, Britain, and the United States. The theory reached its apogee during the Third Reich, when the Sturmabteilung (SA) or Brownshirts promoted it as compatible with ancient Nordic myths and National Socialist ideology. "Horbigerism" lingered on after World...
The Giant of Kandahar-Afghanistan
13-Foot Tall Red Haired Giant of Kandahar Allegedly Killed by US Soldiers in Afghanistan
The US ... more 13-Foot Tall Red Haired Giant of Kandahar Allegedly Killed by US Soldiers in Afghanistan
The US government allegedly "killed and covered up" a 13-foot giant with red hair and six-finger hands who lived in the Afghanistan highlands.
The Giant of Kandahar, a 13-foot-tall monster with red hair and six-fingered hands that lived in the mountains of Afghanistan 'was killed and covered up by the US government.' This is a representational image.
US Military 'Killed' Kandahar Giant
In a chat with Marzulli (per Daily Star), the military contractor claimed to have been there during the savage killing of a killer he dubbed the Kandahar Giant.
Marzulli discusses the "Giant of Kandahar" with a guy claiming to be a soldier on his YouTube channel, which is dedicated to connecting contemporary events to Biblical prophesies.
Before he and the other "special forces" put it down, Mr. K claimed he observed the monster holding a spear and slaying a US soldier named "Dan."
None of the occurrences have been verified.
Who is the Kandahar Giant?
According to Indie88, the Kandahar Giant is one of the following two possibilities.
A legendary 13-foot-tall enormous creature who dwelt in Afghanistan's highlands and was destroyed by US special troops. The authorities later covered up the death of the red-haired giant with six-fingered hands;
A total myth.
ALSO READ: About 200 Human Remains Under Same Family Unearthed from Undisturbed Bronze Age Funeral Pyre in Italy
In August 2016, Marzulli posted a lengthy interview with Mr. K, a military contractor, on the internet video sharing platform. During the conversation, Mr. K stated that he was a member of the crew who ruthlessly executed the Kandahar giant.
In the early 2000s, when the US military was fighting the Taliban in their de facto capital of Kandahar Province, the incident occurred. On the other hand, this massive creature was not a human combatant in the least.
How This Monster Looked Like
The Kandahar Giant, according to Mr. K, is 13 feet tall and has two sets of fangs. With his spear weapon, the monster murdered one of the Special Forces men.
According to ATI, the remainder of the troops murdered him in less than 30 seconds by firing nonstop at him. The army forces hauled its body away in a Chinook chopper and have kept it concealed since no one had seen him.
Some accounts claim that the giant was as tall as 15 feet with six digits, wore leather moccasins with a horrible odor, and appeared out of nowhere from a cave, killing one soldier with his spear.
"Between them, the squad was armed with full-auto M4 carbines, 'recon carbines' (semi-automatic) and M107 Barrett anti-materiel rifles firing .50 BMG. This much firepower concentrated on one target for one second, let alone thirty, would be extremely destructive," One report claimed.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDA) were required of the soldiers. The troops, on the other hand, broke their silence because they believed that the truth should be revealed and that the public had a right to know.
US Government Denies Claim
When Snopes asked about the "Kandahar Giant incident" in 2016, the Department of Defense said, "We do not have any record or information about a special forces member killed by a giant in Kandahar."
Furthermore, neither the website nor the news release said that a "special forces troop" had gone missing in Afghanistan or that a giant had killed one of their men.

He was of Cappadocian Greek descent and served in the Praetorian Guard for emperor Diocletian. He was sentenced to death for not renouncing his Christian faith, and after his death, he was venerated as a saint and megalomartyr. He has been particularly revered as a military saint since the Crusades, and is honored by Christians, Druze, and some Muslims as a martyr of monotheism.
Saint George is remembered in hagiography as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and one of the most famous military saints. He is honored through the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. His memorial, Saint George‘s Day, is celebrated annually on the 23rd of April. Nations such as England, Ukraine, Ethiopia, and Georgia, along with Catalonia and Aragon in Spain and Moscow in Russia, have all claimed George to be their patron saint. He is also the patron of several regions, cities, universities, professions, and organizations. The Church–Mosque of Saint George in Lod (Lydda), Israel, is said to contain his remains.

Achilles-The Trojan Giant Defeated at Heel Height
The warrior Achilles is one of the great heroes of Greek mythology. According to legend, Achilles... more The warrior Achilles is one of the great heroes of Greek mythology. According to legend, Achilles was extraordinarily strong, courageous and loyal, but he had one vulnerability–his “Achilles heel.” Homer’s epic poem the Iliad tells the story of his adventures during the last year of the Trojan War
Like most mythological heroes, Achilles had a complicated family tree. His father was Peleus, the mortal king of the Myrmidons–a people who, according to legend, were extraordinarily fearless and skilled soldiers. His mother was Thetis, a Nereid.
According to myths and stories composed long after the Iliad, Thetis was extraordinarily concerned about her baby son’s mortality. She did everything she could to make him immortal: She burned him over a fire every night, then dressed his wounds with ambrosial ointment; and she dunked him into the River Styx, whose waters were said to confer the invulnerability of the gods. However, she gripped him tightly by the foot as she dipped him into the river–so tightly that the water never touched his heel. As a result, Achilles was invulnerable everywhere but there.
When he was 9 years old, a seer predicted that Achilles would die heroically in battle against the Trojans. When she heard about this, Thetis disguised him as a girl and sent him to live on the Aegean island of Skyros. To be a great warrior was Achilles’ fate, however, and he soon left Skyros and joined the Greek army.
When Homer wrote the Iliad in about 720 B.C.E., however, readers and listeners would not have known any of this. They only knew that Achilles was a great hero, that he had superhuman strength and courage and that he was supremely handsome. Homer painted a more nuanced picture: In addition to these qualities, his Achilles was vengeful and quick to anger and could be petulant when he did not get his way. He was also deeply loyal and would sacrifice anything for his friends and family.
Achilles: The Trojan War
According to legend, the Trojan War began when the god-king Zeus decided to reduce Earth’s mortal population by arranging a war between the Greeks (Homer calls them the Achaeans) and the Trojans. He did this by meddling in their political and emotional affairs. At Achilles’ parents’ wedding banquet, Zeus invited the prince of Troy, a young man named Paris, to judge a beauty contest between the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Each of the goddesses offered Paris a bribe in exchange for his vote. Aphrodite’s was the most alluring: She promised to give the young prince the most beautiful wife in the world. Unfortunately, the wife in question–Helen, the daughter of Zeus–was already married to someone else: Menelaus, the king of Sparta. At Aphrodite’s urging, Paris went to Sparta, won Helen’s heart and took her (along with all of Menelaus’ money) back to Troy.
Menelaus vowed revenge. He assembled an army of Greece’s greatest warriors, including Achilles and his Myrmidons, and set off to conquer Troy and get his wife back. In Homer’s telling, this war lasted for 10 bloody years.
Achilles: The Illiad
When the Iliad begins, the Trojan War has been going on for nine years. Achilles, the poem’s protagonist, has led one battle after another. He has met with great success–in fact, he is undefeated in battle–but the war itself has reached a stalemate.
Homer’s story focuses on a different conflict, however: the internecine quarrel between his hero and Agamemnon, the leader of the Achaean armies and Menelaus’ brother. In a battle that took place before the poem begins, Agamemnon had taken as a concubine a young Trojan woman named Chryseis. Chryseis’ father, a priest of the god Apollo, tried to buy his daughter’s freedom, but Agamemnon mocked his entreaties and refused to release the girl.
Enraged, Apollo punished the Greek armies by sending a plague to kill the soldiers one by one. As his ranks thinned, Agamemnon finally agreed to allow Chryseis to return to her father. However, he demanded a replacement concubine in exchange: Achilles’ wife, the Trojan princess Breseis.
Achilles did as his commander asked and relinquished his bride. Then, he announced that he would no longer fight on Agamemnon’s behalf. He gathered his belonging and refused to come out of his tent.
With the Greeks’ greatest warrior off the battlefield, the tide began to turn in favor of the Trojans. The Greeks lost one battle after another. Eventually, Achilles’ best friend, the soldier Patroclus, was able to wrangle a compromise: Achilles would not fight, but he would let Patroclus use his armor as a disguise. That way, the Trojans would think that Achilles had returned to battle and would retreat in fear.
The plan was working until Apollo, still seething about Agamemnon’s treatment of Chryseis and her father, intervened on the Trojans’ behalf. He helped the Trojan prince Hector to find and kill Patroclus.
Achilles vowed to take revenge. Thetis asked the divine blacksmith Hephaestus to make a sword and shield that would keep him safe. Achilles chased Hector back to Troy, slaughtering Trojans all the way. When they got to the city walls, Hector tried to reason with his pursuer, but Achilles was not interested. He stabbed Hector in the throat, killing him.
Hector had begged for an honorable burial in Troy, but Achilles was determined to humiliate his enemy even in death. He dragged Hector’s body behind his chariot all the way back to the Achaean camp and tossed it on the garbage heap. However, in the poem’s last section Achilles finally relents: He returns Hector’s body to his father for a proper burial.
Achilles: The Fate of Achilles
In his Iliad, Homer does not explain what happened to Achilles. According to later legends (and bits and pieces of Homer’s own Odyssey), the warrior returned to Troy after Hector’s funeral to exact further revenge for Patroclus’ death. However, the still-vengeful Apollo told Hector’s brother Paris that Achilles was coming. Paris, who was not a brave warrior, ambushed Achilles as he entered Troy. He shot his unsuspecting enemy with an arrow, which Apollo guided to the one place he knew Achilles was vulnerable: his heel, where his mother’s hand had kept the waters of the Styx from touching his skin. Achilles died on the spot, still undefeated in battle.
Tartarian Empire - A Great Era Erased By Elite Wars
THE GREAT TARTARIAN EMPIRE

The official history is hiding a major world power which existed as late as the 19th century. Tartary was a country with its own flag, its own government and its own place on the map. Its territory was huge, but somehow quietly incorporated into Russia, and some other countries. This country you can find on the maps predating the second half of the 19th century.
Yet, some time in the 18th century Tartary Muskovite was the biggest country in the world: 3,050,000 square miles.
The flag and crest of Tartary had an owl depicted on it. The emperor's flag contained a griffin on a yellow background.
There is a growing opinion in Russia that French invasion of Russia played out according to a different scenario.
The one where Tsar Alexander I, and Napoleon were on the same side. Together they fought against Tartary.
Essentially France and Saint Petersburg against Moscow (Tartary). And there is a strong circumstantial evidence to support such a theory.
They built the Great Wall in what is now China. Marco Polo wrote an extensive and detailed account of Asia in the 13th and 14th centuries and did not even mention a wall. The Great Wall is not seen on any maps pre-dating the late 1600’s. So most of it’s construction occurred in 1700’s and it was built to keep the encroaching Chinese out of Tartaria. The openings on the wall are on the north side towards the former Tartary not on the south China facing side. It should be called the Great Wall of Tartaria. The further back in time you go the more advanced it gets. There are many pyramids of different kinds. Megalithic temples hewn out of solid rock. The Ellora Caves in India. The colossal underground monolithic churches of Lalibela Ethiopia. Extensive underground tunnel systems. The astonishing Serapeum of Saqqara in Egypt. The earlier the monolithic stone the bigger it is and the more precision it is cut with. The earlier the structure the more incapable we are of replicating it. Never was mortar used. In past ages the world was more diverse. Skeletons of giants are found on all continents. And remains of beings with elongated skulls. Graveyards of little people and horned human like entities have been unearthed. Now it is as if these beings have never existed. Like the Tartarians they are never mentioned. We live in a virtual reality where true history is ignored and covered up. A totally false narrative is taught. Fantasies have replaced truth and everything is pushed way back to the remote past. Older advanced structures are credited to local people who came later who have no idea how to build them. Deception has been utilized to push history back a thousand years and create an artificial dark age. The time of Jesus was less than 1000 years ago. In the Middle Ages the i and J before numbers designated Jesus. Not the number one. For example i346 is 346 years after the time of Jesus. It is not 1346. Way back in the Old Testament at the time immediately following the Exodus it states that the Israelites used the Arc of the Covenant as a weapon of war. Against the Amorites, Midianites and Philistines. So the use of energy weapons has been going on for over a thousand years. It was perfected to the point where it was able to take out many millions of Tartarians. The energy weapons melted cities and destroyed the civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome which were approximately of the same time period as Jesus and were heavily influenced by Tartaria. Not only are they pushed way back into remote history, the extent of their empires have been fabricated. Destroying the pyramid complex was the first objective of the Israelites. Puma Punku which is part of the Tiahuanacu complex in Bolivia had interlocking megaliths of andesite and diorite. These are types of granite only surpassed in hardness by diamonds but they were somehow carved with laser like flatness. Now they are broken and shattered and blown to bits. Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku is said to have been built by a simple local migrating tribe. This idea is used all over the world to dismiss and cover-up the ancient advanced cultures. Energy weaponized from the Arc of the Covenant is what brought down the Walls of Jericho. The Arc was an electrical capacitor composed of silver and brass alloys and gilded with gold. It’s true purpose was to store and direct energy from the Earth to outside sources. But transporting it around was very dangerous and it caused people to become sick and die. It had a constant radiation but it also sent out intermittent electrical surges where many people were killed instantly. The ones who carried it had to wear protective clothing. The electrical capacity of such an apparatus would be over 500 volts. Opposing armies would be defenseless against such a weapon. The volume or cubic capacity of the empty coffer inside the Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza is exactly the same volume as the Arc of the Covenant. According to Egyptian tradition the Israelites plundered Egypt during the upheaval at the time of the Exodus. They took the Arc out of the so called Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza at this time. The tribe of Israel also used religion as a means to get their foot in the door in the ruling affairs of foreign countries. A religious leader holds great power able to influence many simple minds who believe the leader’s edicts are from God. The Druids who held such sway in England were Jewish. So were the Jesuits. So have been all the Popes and the Mormon leaders. The reason why Jewish people look down upon Christians is because they know they invented the Christian religion. Jewish beliefs are just a rendition of the former appearances and interactions of planetary Gods. Books written in Tartary were rewritten and sold as Jewish history. Much of the content was fabricated and interfused with traditional local beliefs. This is how they sold their religion. They used Monks to write what they wanted making them think they were doing God’s work. The burning of old books and the rewriting of them in order to change history is the real Reformation. The Library of Alexandria in Egypt was purposely destroyed to limit knowledge. Making deals with kings was a way they were able to get control of a country’s financial system. Once one controls the money supply and its allotments then they control the country. In this way righteous kings were replaced by insurgent kings who defrauded the people to take part in unjust wars. Just fake an event such as a murder, blame it on another country, add some patriotic and religious slogans, demonize the other country and you have created a war. In the Middle Ages the spraying of viruses not only eliminated entire villages it caused the Black Plague which killed off over 70 million people in Europe. Disease was a favorite weapon used against the Tartarian kingdom. In 1346 at the Siege of Kaffa in the Ukraine the Tartarians suffered an epidemic of plague brought on by the catapulting of viruses into the city. Fire was used to burn crops and create famine. The 1490’s saw the first signs of collapse of the Tartary Empire. In 1666 the city of London was intentionally burned. Tartaria was severely weakened in 1775. But it remained until the early 1800’s. When Napoleon attacked Russia, Moscow was hit by an energy weapon. So was Washington DC in the War of 1812. These wars were actually wars against Tartarians. The first two world wars were to wipe out remaining Tartarian influences. Genghis Khan was said to be a Mogul. Mogul is just a made-up name which is then associated with Mongolia. Genghis Khan fought to restore the kingdom of Tartary and reclaim their land. His mounted warriors were called Tartars. Now Tartary is associated with hell. Many buildings in America demolished or still standing, said to be built by early pioneers or native people in America were in fact built by the Tartars. Disease was also used against the native people in the Americas. It is estimated that 95% of them perished from disease. Mostly smallpox. The Aztecs looked upon the Spaniards as the returning of their light colored god. Their beliefs harkened back to the events in the ancient sky when a light colored god came down from the heavens to save them. But these light colored people came to kill them. The Old World Order was replaced by the New World Order. And the Gregorian Calendar was instituted. To force the common people to accept a new false chronology. Peace and freedom was been replaced by being fenced up in strict borders. The suppression of Tartary coincides with the new teaching of evolution. We just think we are evolving. We have become disconnected with nature and disconnected with reality. It was not always like that. The farther back in time you go the more connected and at peace we were. With ourselves, with the animals and with the land we lived on.

Salzburg_Petrified Tree of Salt, 2017
The area of Oberalm is one of the most important old settlement centres south of the provincial c... more The area of Oberalm is one of the most important old settlement centres south of the provincial capital Salzburg and takes its name from the nearby Almbach or Wiesbach; Its name goes back to the Latin word albina meaning "the white, foaming one" and refers to the turbulent upper reaches with the Almbach Gorge. In 1192, the place was first mentioned as Alben superior. It is not possible to prove with certainty whether Oberalm can also be identified with the villa Albina of the 8th century and the Romanesque aristocratic clan living there.
From a formal point of view, Oberalm is a young market, as the town was only granted market rights in 1930. Its great historical significance, however, can be seen from the fact that Oberalm has functioned since the Middle Ages as the southernmost village of the former Pfleggericht Glanegg; The marble Taiding table in the open air next to the church, which has been preserved from this period, is also unique. Not least because of this early administrative importance, Oberalm was occasionally referred to as a market since the late Middle Ages, but the late legal recognition of this position was delayed until the 20th century due to the long-standing dominance of the town of Hallein. Under the Nazi regime, the market town of Oberalm completely lost its independence due to the creation of the municipality of Hallein. It was not until eight years after the end of the Nazi regime that the market town of Oberalm was rebuilt on 1 January 1953 at the massive insistence of the population, but reduced in size by the parts bordering Hallein (especially Neualm).
The village of Oberalm has developed as a rural street village along the old country road to Hallein, which is the reason for the dense development on the main road. In addition to the Taiding table, the parish church of St. Stefan with its late Gothic ribbed vault and the hereditary burial of the knightly family of the Wiespeck, who had also been hereditary chamberlains of the archbishopric since the 15th century, can be mentioned as special buildings. In addition, the "castle quadrangle" should be mentioned: On the northern outskirts of the village is Winkl Castle, which served as the seat of the Wiespeck, and since 1908 it has housed the Winklhof agricultural college. The two castles of Haunsperg and Kahlsperg are residences from the 14th century, which derive their names from their builders, the von Haunsperg and the Chalhochsbergs. Today, the former is run as a castle hotel and the latter serves as a retirement home. Since the new boundary was drawn in 1953, Wiespach Castle, the fourth residence, is no longer located on Oberalm territory, but belongs to the town of Hallein.

Papers by David Vanderper
Although the cave had been mined since 1911, miners did not notify authorities until 1912. The miners destroyed many of the artifacts, but archaeologists were still able to retrieve 10,000 Northern Paiute artifacts from the cave. Items included tule duck decoys, nets, a pair of sandals, and baskets, several dating back over 2,000 years.
Name
"Si-Te-Cah" means "tule-eaters" in the Northern Paiute language.Tule or Schoenoplectus acutus is a fibrous water plant. In order to escape harassment from the Paiutes, the Si-Te-Cahs were said to have lived on rafts made of tule on Lake Humboldt.
Oral history
According to archaeologists Llewellyn L. Loud and Mark Raymond Harrington, writing in 1929, the Northern Paiutes "have accounts of an extinct people living in various localities in Nevada". They expressed doubts over whether these were real historical traditions or whether "They should be regarded as an attempt by the Northern Paiute to explain the archaeological remains of a cultural period preceding their own".
They summarise the descriptions of the Si-Te-Cah given to them by local informants thus: "Characteristics of this ancient people are that they made some of their implements differently from the Northern Paiute and of different stone materials. They had spears and no arrows, while the Northern Paiute had arrows but no spears. They were mean, contemptible, foolish, degraded cannibals, had red hair which they were excessively fond of decorating with bone ornaments, and yet were so poor that they dressed in robes made of the skin and feathers of the mud hen. In a collection of specimens from Nevada every object which is unfamiliar to a Northern Paiute is attributed to them".
Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of Paiute Chief Winnemucca, wrote in 1883 about what she described as "a small tribe of barbarians" who ate her people in her book Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims. She wrote that "after my people had killed them all, the people round us called us Say-do-carah. It means conqueror; it also means 'enemy.' My people say that the tribe we exterminated had reddish hair. I have some of their hair, which has been handed down from father to son. I have a dress which has been in our family a great many years, trimmed with the reddish hair. I am going to wear it some time when I lecture. It is called a mourning dress, and no one has such a dress but my family." She also reported hearing old women say that white people ate people, quoting one as saying "Yes, they do eat people, because they ate each other up in the mountains last winter."
The accounts of when all this is supposed to have happened are confused, from "many hundred years ago" (Winnemucca) to "four or five generations ago" (Winnemucca's brother, known as Natchez) to "an old Northern Paiute man recently died at Stillwater who is said to have taken part in it, and to have had one eye shot out by an arrow in one of the charges on the cave mouth" (reported by Loud and Harrington).
Some accounts describe the Si-Te-Cah as very tall, or as giants, a thing not mentioned either by Winnemucca or by Loud and Harrington, who say that all their informants describe "ordinary human beings living an entirely rational human life. It is barely possible that further inquiry might bring out supernatural traits, but of all the numerous references made to them, there are no characteristics mentioned but what might well be possessed by some tribe hostile to the Northern Paiute".
Excavations
Main article: Lovelock Cave
A written report by James H. Hart, the first of two miners to excavate the cave in the fall of 1911, recalls that in the north-central part of the cave, about four feet deep, "was a striking looking body of a man 'six feet six inches tall.' His body was mummified and his hair distinctly red." Unfortunately in the first year of mining, some of the human remains and artifacts were lost and destroyed. "The best specimen of the adult mummies was boiled and destroyed by a local fraternal lodge, which wanted the skeleton for initiation purposes."
Adrienne Mayor writes about the Si-Te-Cah in her book Fossil Legends of the First Americans. She suggests that the "giant" interpretation of the skeletons from Lovelock Cave and other dry caves in Nevada was started by entrepreneurs setting up tourist displays and that the skeletons themselves were of normal size. However, about a 100 miles north of Lovelock there are plentiful fossils of mammoths and cave bears, and their large limbed bones could easily be thought to be those of giants by an untrained observer. She also discusses the reddish hair, pointing out that hair pigment is not stable after death and that various factors such as temperature, soil, etc. can turn ancient very dark hair rusty red or orange. Another explanation for the "giant" interpretation of the skeletons may also come from the fact that the body of the 6 ft 6in man was described by Hart as "a giant" in comparison to the much smaller apparently female skeletons
A vast network of underground chambers and water tunnels have been discovered beneath several of the world’s most well-known pyramids, including the Great Pyramid on Egypt’s Giza Plateau.
For centuries these ancient tunnels have remained hidden and off-limits to everyone but a select few. But now they are coming into the Light and what is being found raises even deeper questions.
There is an ancient Hermetic saying: “As Above, so Below,” meaning “That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the Miracle of the One Thing.”
This is especially true when it comes to the many mysteries surrounding all the world’s pyramids. In truth, we are just beginning to put together the puzzle pieces that have eluded us for centuries. Therefore, I was determined to know more about what was below ground.
Access to the Underworld
It wasn’t easy getting permission to explore under the Giza Plateau. Negotiations to enter the hidden shafts began in 2017. We were initially met with suspicion by Egyptian authorities who wanted to know who we were, what we wanted, and how we even knew about the shafts. They claimed no one had been down there in decades. Initially they refused our request, but eventually caved in for a price. In Egypt, all things are negotiable. (Our entry has now opened the way for others wanting access, but also for a hefty price.)
So it was in early 2018, at 4:30 AM, when a Giza Plateau inspector, my Egyptologist friend Hares and myself plodded across the desert sands with only a flashlight to light our way in the morning chill. A military police escort hovered nearby.
In the darkness, we were led to an iron-gated entry under the causeway between the pyramids. The inspector handed me the key and allowed me the honor of opening this secret doorway. In the past they referred to this hidden place as “that shaft complex”. They now officially call it the “Osiris Shaft”.
A few steps inside the heavy gate there is a square hole in the ground. The inspector pointed to an iron ladder leading down this first shaft. From what I could see in the darkness, it didn’t look all that sturdy and I had no idea how old or maintained it was. This was one time when no male offered to go first. Instead, they let me lead the way with the caveat, “be careful.” (The liability factor in traversing such shafts would be off the charts in the U.S., but things are different in Egypt.)
I was told there were three lower levels, the last leading to the water tunnels more than 125 feet (38 meters) below ground.
The first level opened to a spacious but empty room. The air felt close and dusty, the temperature much warmer with little outside ventilation. I continued my descent to the second level, the longest, where the lighting was low, lit by a single bulb hanging from the ceiling which someone had thought to put in place years ago.
I stepped down and turned to find a chamber room with seven niches for seven large sarcophagi. Only two black basalt and granite sarcophagi were still there, both empty with their heavy lids slightly ajar. They had to weigh several tons. I wondered how they had managed to remove the other five sarcophagi, if they indeed existed. I was told this chamber was for the “favored ones”—the guardians which tended to be the highest of priests.
According to Herodotus, ancient Egyptian priests spoke of a long-held tradition of the creation of underground chambers by the original builders of ancient Memphis. These stories were confirmed when these large cavities were discovered during a survey conducted at Giza in 1993.
It is less well-known that this Osiris Shaft was actually discovered as early as 1933–34 by famed Egyptologist, Dr. Selim Hassan. He claimed that the tomb dated from the Saitic period (26th Dynasty, c. 600 BC), and labelled it “the most extraordinary example of this type of tomb hole”. Others dispute this dating and believe it dates back much earlier.
I looked down the last shaft and saw water was up to the last rung of the ladder leading to the third underground chamber. It is known that as early as 1934, the third chamber was already under water. Dr. Selim Hassan tried to clear the chamber but, after four years of pumping, the water level had not descended.
This chamber is known to flood and this year the water had mysteriously risen higher than expected. The authorities have no idea why this is occurring nor the source of the water. The Nile, which flows north, and is considered to be the largest river in the world, is approximately 5 miles east of the Giza Plateau.
Hidden Sarcophagus under Pyramids
I climbed down to a narrow ledge and got my first look at this mysterious chamber. The energy down there feels electrified, the air even feels cleaner. The water is clear but filled with silt and some debris. A rotting wood platform structure leans off to the right of the chamber, probably left behind from Dr. Hassan’s day.
And then I saw it, a stone slab cover to a sarcophagus buried just beneath the water’s surface. There were undecipherable markings on the slab, a crisscross of deeply carved lines and some symbols.
There are those who believe this to be the tomb of the god Osiris, which is why they refer to it as the Osiris Shaft. However, my inside sources reveal it to be anything but a tomb. My magnetometer had a higher reading than the norm, suggesting something else entirely. One of my sources, an expert timeline reader, claims it is a dimensional portal that only those that have the correct DNA can ever hope to open. It’s hermetically sealed by some form of ancient technology process. Interesting, if true!
The Giza Inspector confirmed it had never been opened, which one would find odd, unless they had already tried to open it and had been unsuccessful. The water looked to be about mid-thigh on a man but could be deeper in parts further back.
While the water down there is relatively clear, there exists a hodgepodge of construction debris from earlier explorers–broken stones, scattered wooden slats, some papyrus strips, and a strange white filmy substance on the water in several places. I wasn’t sure of the bacteria levels, so I put on plastic gloves and filled up sterile containers with water samples. I had come prepared.
As I crouched down to obtain my samples, my Mena House hotel key card literally leapt out of my backpack. Instead of falling by my feet as physics would allow, the card bizarrely flew out across a short span of water and onto the top of the stone sarcophagus. One couldn’t help but feel there were some unseen observers down there that day observing our entry into their watery crypt.
The Giza Inspector used a wood strip to attempt to retrieve my key card, but the card slid down further into the silt where it will probably remain forever. Someday, someone will find it and wonder who it belonged to. It felt like I was meant to leave something personal behind. How ironic that it was to be my room key.
Hidden Depths of the Giza Water Tunnels
Off to the left of the cavern area is a tunnel entrance, leading to other tunnels that may extend for miles, linking other pyramid sites. The Egyptian authorities suspect there to be artifacts hidden under the water, possibly a treasure trove of information as well, which the Egyptian government has been reluctant to fully explore.
There is always the possibility that what they find may pre-date Egyptian culture, disproving the accepted timeline of history. It might reveal instead an earlier pre-dynastic culture which some scholars have referred to as the “Atlantic Period”, relating to those who fled a catastrophic flood event on earth and brought advanced knowledge to the Egyptian lands to preserve it from future global destruction. These “Atlanteans” may indeed be the true builders of the ancient pyramids.
It may be that the water tunnel system was built prior to the actual building of the pyramids. If the Great Pyramid was indeed intended as some kind of ancient power plant, as some physicists and engineers have theorized, then it would indeed need water to generate power.
The Belle Époque was named after the event. It was considered a "Golden Age" in contrast to the horrors of World War I. The Belle Epoque was a period in which, according to historian R.R. Palmer, "European civilization achieved its greatest power in global politics, and also exerted its maximum influence upon peoples outside Europe".
In the United Kingdom, the Belle Époque overlapped with the late Victorian era and the Edwardian era in a period known as Pax Britannica. In Germany, the Belle Époque coincided with the reigns of William I, Frederick III and Wilhelm II. In Italy, with the reigns of Victor Emmanuel II, Umberto I and early of the reign of Victor Emmanuel III. In Russia, with the reigns of Alexander III and Nicholas II.
In the United States, after the Panic of 1873, the same period was called the Gilded Age (1870s–1900s).[3] In Brazil, it started with the end of the Paraguayan War. In Mexico, the period was known as the Porfiriato, and in Japan, it coincided with the Meiji period.
In the ancient texts of Zoroaster, there is a story of a catastrophic event that devastated the Earth: a sudden and brief ice age, called “the days of Malkush”, which lasted about three years. Before this disaster occurred, a deity, Ahura Mazda, offered a means of salvation: to build underground cities to protect themselves from the frost. Could there be some truth in this story, which seems to come straight out of a science fiction novel?
What you see in the photo is Derinkuyu, a mysterious underground city located in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. According to archaeologists, the center of this city already existed 2,800 years ago, at least 8 centuries before Christ. We're talking about an entire city, excavated at a depth of 85 meters, capable of housing up to 20,000 people. But it's likely that the natural caves also predate that date.
Derinkuyu is not a simple cave: it is a complex structure, with 18 underground levels, including wells, chapels, stables, schools and even areas dedicated to the production of wine and oil. Some parts of the city show traces of reuse in medieval times, with the addition of Christian religious structures, but the original nucleus dates back to a much more ancient era.
The city was “rediscovered” only in 1963, when a man, during renovations to his house, accidentally found a tunnel leading to this underground world. Since then, Derinkuyu has become one of the most fascinating examples of ancient human ingenuity.
Derinkuyu is not an isolated case. As modern technology allows us to explore the underground world, we are discovering that underground cities and tunnel networks are a widespread phenomenon all over the world:
Egypt: Beneath the Giza Plateau, there is a vast underground system of caverns, artificial tunnels and rivers. Some researchers, such as Dr. Selim Hassan, have documented passages that extend for kilometers, suggesting that the ancient Egyptians (or perhaps an earlier civilization) knew advanced excavation techniques.
Guatemala: Beneath the Mayan pyramid complex of Tikal, 800 kilometers of tunnels have been mapped, many of which are still unexplored.
China: In 1992, 24 artificial caves were discovered in the province of Zhejiang, excavated with incredible precision. It is estimated that 36,000 cubic meters of stone were removed to build them.
Europe: Thousands of Stone Age tunnels, called “Erdstall”, extend across the continent, leaving archaeologists perplexed as to their original purpose.
Today we know that about 12,000 years ago, the Earth was hit by a sudden and intense ice age, called the Younger Dryas. This event, which lasted about 1,300 years, caused a drastic drop in temperature and disrupted global ecosystems. Is it possible that the “days of Malkush” narrated by Zoroaster are a distorted memory of this cataclysm? And if so, were underground cities like Derinkuyu built to protect themselves from the frost?
But there's more: what, or who, were the ancients protecting themselves from when they dug these cities? How could people who, theoretically, didn't know iron or the wheel, create such complex works? Even with 21st-century technology, building a city like Derinkuyu would take decades of work.
What is our past hiding from us? Is it possible that advanced civilizations, now forgotten, have left traces of their passage under our feet?
The western mountain barrier of China is high and majestic. So far away, with snow-capped peaks reaching up to the Godly spaces. The east slope of those mountains is protected by vast deserts and arid grasslands that taunt those who approach with a thirsty death even before they can reach such celestial heights. They are called Tian Chan, the “Mountains of Heaven.” A place far away from Beijing. Or Baghdad. And even farther from here.
But such distances must be crossed. Chinese silk must find its market, and the central Asian mystery penetrated. Samarkand⎯is there a more exotic name in the world?⎯must be reached. Tamerlane’s beautiful capital of Transoxiana. The Silk Road demonstrated the power of trade then. It was the physical analog to our digital trade in stocks today.
So how to get that road of silk around those Mountains of Heaven? To make way for Marco Polo? Pasta, too, and paper!
THE DZUNGARIAN GATE
From China, to the south, lies the Tarim Basin, the Great Desert flanking a then independent Tibet. No water, few oases, and no grass. So no horses, and few marauding bandits riding them. Up north more water, more grass, and a pass! Ride through, but ride fast. You are not the only ones on horseback there!
The pass is a fault through the Tian Chan Mountains. A straight, flat, six-mile wide passage through to the grasslands of Central Asia and Lake Balkhash. Pass through, turn south, and head toward Samarkand. Follow the wind. For, surely this is the land of the Greek god, Boreas, master of the cold winter blasts. A land of gold guarded by Griffins. And there are dinosaur fossils in the region. You would be kept up at night in the ferocious blowing winds, convinced you were hearing the screams of those long dead monsters.
THE BATTLE OF TALAS
And that brings us back to 751 A.D. One-hundred-nineteen years after the death of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad in Medina, Arabia. Ninety years after the founding of the Umayyad Caliphate in Damascus, Syria. And only one year after the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate, soon to be centered at Baghdad. The Abbasids were ascendant and were to enter a golden age of Islamic power and learning.
The Tang Dynasty of China was also in a golden age, exemplifying the advanced culture of Chinese civilization. But it was about to founder. It, too, was
interested in the Silk Road and trading lands far to the west in Central Asia. So China reached out across those vast deserts and grasslands.
Did their armies ride through the Dzungarian Gate? Probably, for they met the armies of the Abbasids just south of that area along the Talas River in Central Asia. They fought for five days, treachery eventually overcoming the Chinese forces. Twenty thousand Chinese prisoners, it was said, were captured.
It was one of those pivotal battles of history. The Tang Dynasty soon faced the “An Lushan” rebellion at home. So they adventured no further to the west. The Abbasids, seeing only deserts and arid grasslands beyond the gate, sallied no further east. Central Asia is predominantly Muslim today, as a result.
But other developments flowed from that battle. Chinese paper-making technology was brought to Baghdad by the Chinese prisoners. Much of the wisdom of the west was accordingly preserved in Muslim universities. And Buddhism in China, which had originally sprung up in India, was now cut off from its roots. No land route for its adherents to travel to India’s holy sites. Is that what caused Buddhism in the east to flourish and develop? What did Huston Smith say? “Big Boat” and “Small Boat” Buddhism?
So, if you were in that place, and your timing was right, you might have seen the battle that you never heard of. And one from which so much of our current world order, and knowledge, still flows.
it is believed to be the world’s largest preserved medieval manuscript (Codex Gigas means "giant book") and it contains a large, full-page portrait of the Devil.
The Codex Gigas was created for a Bohemian monastery, but was brought to Sweden as spoils of war in the 17th century.
Among other things, the manuscript contains a complete Bible, historical texts, magic formulas and spells.
Il castello, che domina la valle del Tirino e l’altopiano di Navelli a poca distanza dalla piana di Campo Imperatore in Abruzzo, è situato su un crinale a 1.460 metri d’altezza, in una posizione molto favorevole dal punto di vista difensivo ed era utilizzato come punto d’osservazione militare in comunicazione con altre torri e castelli vicini, sino all’Adriatico.
La struttura, interamente in pietra bianca a conci squadrati, si compone di un maschio centrale, probabilmente preesistente, di una cerchia muraria merlata in ciottoli e quattro torri d’angolo a base circolare fortemente scarpate. L’accesso avviene attraverso un’apertura sul lato orientale posta a circa cinque metri da terra, cui si accede attraverso una rampa in legno, originariamente retrattile, poggiata di mensole in pietra.
Il castello, danneggiato dal terremoto del 1703, è stato soggetto a una serie di restauri conservativi tra il 1986 ed il 1989.
Like Santa, Gryla has helpers. Her thriteen sons, known as the Yule Lads. They are usually much less cruel then their mother, and simply play pranks on people during the Christmas season (depends upon the version, some tales have the Yule Lads as homicidal child-eating monsters, especially older stories).
Gryla also has a giant cat named The Yule Cat. Whether or not you were naughty or nice, or if you're an adult or child, you are at risk of being eaten by The Yule Cat. The only people he won't eat are those who have gotten new clothes for Christmas.
Gryla is married to her third husband named Leppaluoi, who lives in the Dimmuborgir lava fields in a cave (this historic area is rife with supernatural mischief according to folklore, due to its unique natural "castle" formations and traditional tales of it being the place Satan himself landed when he fell from Heaven).
The Hebrew word Rephaim has two distinct meanings: first, in poetic literature it refers to departed spirits whose dwelling place was Sheol. It is a figurative description of the dead, similar to our concept of a ghost. The second meaning of Rephaim is “a mighty people with tall stature who lived in Canaan.” The word doesn’t seem to be ethno-centric like “Jew” or “Egyptian” but is more of a descriptive term. This second meaning will be the focus of this article.
The first reference to the Rephaim is Genesis 14:5, when the Rephaim, Zuzim and Emim people were defeated in a battle with Kedorlaomer and his allies. When the Israelites first approached the Promised Land after the Exodus from Egypt, they were afraid to enter the land because it was filled with “giants” (the word used in Numbers 13:33 is Nephilim), the sons of Anak. Giants were widely scattered through Canaan, but were known by different local names, including Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim, and Anakim. Deuteronomy 2:20–21 says the Rephaim were strong and tall, like the Anakites. Og, king of Bashan, was described as the last of the Rephaim in his land (Deuteronomy 3:11), and his bed was thirteen feet long and six feet wide.
Is it possible that the Rephaim were literal giants? The Septuagint uses the Greek words gigas and titanes (the source of the English titan) to translate these and other verses, so the ancient Jews certainly considered them to be giants. They are described generally as being between 7 and 10 feet tall and are called “mighty men.” The Egyptians wrote about giants who lived in the land of Canaan, and the folklore of other nations is full of such references. The people of the ancient world accepted the presence of giants as a fact of history, and the Bible presents them as enemies who were destroyed either by the judgment of God or in battle with men.
So where did these giants come from? One theory, based on Genesis 6:1–4, is that fallen angels (the sons of God) had sexual relations with women, resulting in the birth of giants. This is remarkably similar to Greek and Roman myths about demi-gods, but the theory has some theological and biological obstacles. Another theory, also based on Genesis 6, is that the fallen angels, having knowledge of human genetics, indwelt certain men and women who would have the right traits to produce a race of giants and induced them to cohabit with each other. A third theory is that the giants were simply the result of normal genetic variability within a society. Whatever the origin of the Rephaim, it is certain that a race of “giants”—strong, tall people—did exist at one time, and many cultures had dealings with them. Even today, there are people who grow to extreme sizes, whether through genetic disorders like gigantism or through normal heredity.
The legend of the Dragon of Ljubljana comes back to the epic of Jason and the Argonauts. For the uninitiated, Jason and his Argonauts are Greek heroes on a quest to find the Golden Fleece. Their quest made them sail different isles and cities, encountering danger in every way.
According to the story, Jason and his Argonauts sailed to Colchis. Colchis is the modern-day Black Sea coast of Georgia. As he is looking for the Golden Fleece, Jason had to perform three tasks set by the King of Colchis.
Jason succeeded with the help of Medea, the king’s daughter who fell in love with the hero. Jason and his team earn the Golden Fleece defeating the dragon and run away with Medea in tow. Even if the hero won Medea’s hand and the Fleece, Jason and the Argo had to evade the king’s fleet.
The Founding of Ljubljana
The Argo will eventually evade the entire pursuit, but their haste caused a critical error. Instead of going south to the Aegean Sea, the Argo now entered the mouth of the Danube River instead.
The Argos continue sailing the Danube, going their way to the Sava and eventually to the source, the Ljubljanica River. The source of the river is marshy and Jason, with his band, need to dismantle their ship as the waters grew shallow.
Jason then decided to cross the land towards the Adriatic Sea, but winter came. The heroes settled in the locale to wait for more favorable weather. The Argonauts built a village on the marsh, but they made it on top of a dragon’s hunting grounds.
The Dragon attacked the village, spitting fire and burning half of their homes. Some of the Argonauts drowned, with one taken as dinner by the Dragon.
Jason then set out to kill the Dragon, wading through the marsh and finding a large island being the Dragon’s den.
Jason and Medea attacked the Dragon but failing to do damage to it. Medea counseled Jason to bind the Dragon’s mouth and close off its nostrils with its victims’ bones. With nowhere to exhale, the Dragon exploded, combusting under its own fire.
Jason decided to return to Greece, but several Argonauts decided to settle the fertile lands around Ljubljana. The first settlement became the Roman fort of Emona, which became present-day Ljubljana.
The True History of the Ljubljana Dragon
As interesting as the myth is, the real history of Ljubljana’s Dragon is as fascinating. The real accepted history of the Dragon comes from Saint George, known as the patron saint of Ljubljana Castle’s chapel.
The Ljubljana Castle came in the 15th century, following the legend of its patron saint. The legend of Saint George shows the slaying of a dragon who demanded human sacrifice. The saint then rescues the princess, which was the quintessential knight vs dragon story.
The entire legend was also a symbolism of Christianity and the religion overcoming paganism. The Dragon eventually became the city’s coat of arms. Through the Baroque period, it outweighed everything else when it comes to importance.
Through the centuries, the Dragon became the symbol of Ljubljana. It became the capital city’s protector and perched over it, overseeing everything happening. It became a symbol of courage, wisdom, and power to the entire country.
The story of dragons in Ljubljana did not stop at legends. The dragon stories of Ljubljana connected to the existence of real-life “baby dragons.” These come in the form of Olms or aquatic cave salamanders.
The first records of “baby dragons” existed in a cave beneath the spring of Vrhnika, near Ljubljana. By the 19th century, villagers sell the salamanders as tourist products. Today, the “baby dragons” still exist in the caves of Postojna and Skocjan.
Bayard first appears as the property of Renaud de Montauban in the Old French twelfth century chanson de geste Quatre Fils Aymon. The horse was capable of carrying Rinaldo and his three brothers ("the four sons of Aymon") all at the same time and of understanding human speech. Near the end of the work, Renaud is forced to cede Bayard to Charlemagne who, as punishment for the horse's exploits, has a large stone tied to Bayard's neck and has the horse pushed into the river; Bayard however smashes the stone with his hooves and escapes to live forever more in the woods.
Outside the Walloon town of Dinant in Belgium stands "Bayard Rock", a large cleft rock formation that was said to have been split by Bayard's mighty hooves. In Namur, the next town downriver along the Meuse, stands a locally famous statue of Bayard and the Four Aymon Brothers. There are plenty of named places in Wallonia linked to the legend of Four Aymon Brothers and Bayard.
The Bayard legend is also celebrated in other towns in Belgium — most notably in the Flemish town of Dendermonde, where a large procession is organised every ten years. The rivalry between Dendermonde and Aalst, a city close by, has led to the construction of the Steed Balatum[clarification needed] by the inhabitants of Aalst, as a parody on Bayard. Brussels (as part of the Ommegang), Mechelen and Ath all organise processions that include Bayard. There are also Bayard statues in Ghent and Grembergen.
In this publication I mainly refer to the connection of word choices for the same location as being: Monte Titano (Giant Mountain) - Vall Dragone (Valley of the Dragon) - Borgo Maggiore (Great Mountain/Fortress)
Valdragone is a village (curazia) in central San Marino.
It belongs to the castello of Borgo Maggiore.
The village is divided into two areas: Valdragone di Sopra (Upper V.) and Valdragone di Sotto (Lower V.). It is situated close at the east of Borgo Maggiore and also close to Cailungo and Domagnano.
The name of Valdragone appears for the first time in historical documents of 1253. The Monastero di Santa Chiara was built from 1969 to 1971.
According to legend, the name "Valdragone" comes from stories of a dragon that appeared there. From Italian val, apocopic form of valle ("valley") + dragone ("dragon").
Nonetheless, this Goddess is celebrated in Wicca and in several New Age cults,2 as well as in a lively popular literature.3 The authors of books about the Goddess take it for granted that her existence has been confirmed by the discovery of prehistoric artifacts. Joseph Campbell, who is regarded many people in the U.S.A. as an authority on all ancient mythologies, stated that Gimbutas’ work provided a “lexicon of the pictorial script” of Goddess religion. According to Campbell, Goddess religion was an expression of “that primordial attempt on humanity’s part to understand and live in harmony with the beauty and wonder of Creation” in contrast to the story of creation in Genesis, and the “manipulated systems of the West”. As he saw it, rediscovery of her religion addressed the “need in our time for a general transformation of consciousness.”4
But could a religion that so precisely met the needs of the twentieth century C.E. have existed in the twentieth century B.C.E.? Certainly not in the form that Gimbutas, Campbell, or any of their predecessors imagined it. The present book shows why. Editors Lucy Goodison (University College, London) and Christine Morris (Trinity College, Dublin) explain in a brief, but informative introduction that in reality the Goddess is a recent creation, not of women in the distant past, as many of her enthusiasts suppose, but of male academics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The ktistes of her cult was of course J.J. Bachofen, but she had influential priests like C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann.5 Their theories influenced the work of prehistoric archaeologists, such as Sir Arthur Evans and James Mellaart. As the women movement gathered force, the notion of a prehistoric Mother Goddess was taken up earnestly even by academics like Gimbutas and historian Gerda Lerner.6 The moral sub-text of these works leant credibility to their arguments: most of the evils of the present-day world had been introduced as a result of the dominance of men.
By the 1960s archaeologists had begun to question the existence of the Goddess, in part because they saw what extravagant deductions were being made on the basis of a fragmentary body of material evidence. How (for example) was it possible to know what Cycladic figurines represented, in the absence of written evidence, and when there were no exact records of the proveniences in which the artifacts had been found? The authors of the essays in the book have reexamined the evidence “in areas where claims for the Goddess have been most insistent”. The result, as the editors put it, is a “revelation. Not of a single, fundamental pattern universally repeating itself, but of a picture of staggering diversity”. There are many different kinds and types of goddesses, but no Goddess. Here is a brief account of the some of the significant material in this detailed and extensively documented book.
This book outlined a heterodox general theory of astronomy and the earth sciences that Horbiger had been working out since the 1880s - namely, that the universe was largely made of water ice and that ice infall profoundly affected the Earth and its climate.
Horbiger's cosmogony, which came to be known as the Welteislehre (world ice theory) or WEL, also claimed that the Milky Way was largely a ring of ice crystals surrounding the solar system.
Using evidence from the Bible and traditional mythologies, plus a doubtful command of geology, Horbiger further asserted that a number of icy moons had spiraled into the Earth, leading to a series of global catastrophes. In the interwar years, the WEL acquired many lay adherents (but little scientific support) in Central Europe, Britain, and the United States. The theory reached its apogee during the Third Reich, when the Sturmabteilung (SA) or Brownshirts promoted it as compatible with ancient Nordic myths and National Socialist ideology. "Horbigerism" lingered on after World...
The US government allegedly "killed and covered up" a 13-foot giant with red hair and six-finger hands who lived in the Afghanistan highlands.
The Giant of Kandahar, a 13-foot-tall monster with red hair and six-fingered hands that lived in the mountains of Afghanistan 'was killed and covered up by the US government.' This is a representational image.
US Military 'Killed' Kandahar Giant
In a chat with Marzulli (per Daily Star), the military contractor claimed to have been there during the savage killing of a killer he dubbed the Kandahar Giant.
Marzulli discusses the "Giant of Kandahar" with a guy claiming to be a soldier on his YouTube channel, which is dedicated to connecting contemporary events to Biblical prophesies.
Before he and the other "special forces" put it down, Mr. K claimed he observed the monster holding a spear and slaying a US soldier named "Dan."
None of the occurrences have been verified.
Who is the Kandahar Giant?
According to Indie88, the Kandahar Giant is one of the following two possibilities.
A legendary 13-foot-tall enormous creature who dwelt in Afghanistan's highlands and was destroyed by US special troops. The authorities later covered up the death of the red-haired giant with six-fingered hands;
A total myth.

In August 2016, Marzulli posted a lengthy interview with Mr. K, a military contractor, on the internet video sharing platform. During the conversation, Mr. K stated that he was a member of the crew who ruthlessly executed the Kandahar giant.
In the early 2000s, when the US military was fighting the Taliban in their de facto capital of Kandahar Province, the incident occurred. On the other hand, this massive creature was not a human combatant in the least.
How This Monster Looked Like
The Kandahar Giant, according to Mr. K, is 13 feet tall and has two sets of fangs. With his spear weapon, the monster murdered one of the Special Forces men.
According to ATI, the remainder of the troops murdered him in less than 30 seconds by firing nonstop at him. The army forces hauled its body away in a Chinook chopper and have kept it concealed since no one had seen him.
Some accounts claim that the giant was as tall as 15 feet with six digits, wore leather moccasins with a horrible odor, and appeared out of nowhere from a cave, killing one soldier with his spear.
"Between them, the squad was armed with full-auto M4 carbines, 'recon carbines' (semi-automatic) and M107 Barrett anti-materiel rifles firing .50 BMG. This much firepower concentrated on one target for one second, let alone thirty, would be extremely destructive," One report claimed.
Non-disclosure agreements (NDA) were required of the soldiers. The troops, on the other hand, broke their silence because they believed that the truth should be revealed and that the public had a right to know.
US Government Denies Claim
When Snopes asked about the "Kandahar Giant incident" in 2016, the Department of Defense said, "We do not have any record or information about a special forces member killed by a giant in Kandahar."
Furthermore, neither the website nor the news release said that a "special forces troop" had gone missing in Afghanistan or that a giant had killed one of their men.
Saint George is remembered in hagiography as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and one of the most famous military saints. He is honored through the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. His memorial, Saint George‘s Day, is celebrated annually on the 23rd of April. Nations such as England, Ukraine, Ethiopia, and Georgia, along with Catalonia and Aragon in Spain and Moscow in Russia, have all claimed George to be their patron saint. He is also the patron of several regions, cities, universities, professions, and organizations. The Church–Mosque of Saint George in Lod (Lydda), Israel, is said to contain his remains.
Like most mythological heroes, Achilles had a complicated family tree. His father was Peleus, the mortal king of the Myrmidons–a people who, according to legend, were extraordinarily fearless and skilled soldiers. His mother was Thetis, a Nereid.
According to myths and stories composed long after the Iliad, Thetis was extraordinarily concerned about her baby son’s mortality. She did everything she could to make him immortal: She burned him over a fire every night, then dressed his wounds with ambrosial ointment; and she dunked him into the River Styx, whose waters were said to confer the invulnerability of the gods. However, she gripped him tightly by the foot as she dipped him into the river–so tightly that the water never touched his heel. As a result, Achilles was invulnerable everywhere but there.
When he was 9 years old, a seer predicted that Achilles would die heroically in battle against the Trojans. When she heard about this, Thetis disguised him as a girl and sent him to live on the Aegean island of Skyros. To be a great warrior was Achilles’ fate, however, and he soon left Skyros and joined the Greek army.
When Homer wrote the Iliad in about 720 B.C.E., however, readers and listeners would not have known any of this. They only knew that Achilles was a great hero, that he had superhuman strength and courage and that he was supremely handsome. Homer painted a more nuanced picture: In addition to these qualities, his Achilles was vengeful and quick to anger and could be petulant when he did not get his way. He was also deeply loyal and would sacrifice anything for his friends and family.
Achilles: The Trojan War
According to legend, the Trojan War began when the god-king Zeus decided to reduce Earth’s mortal population by arranging a war between the Greeks (Homer calls them the Achaeans) and the Trojans. He did this by meddling in their political and emotional affairs. At Achilles’ parents’ wedding banquet, Zeus invited the prince of Troy, a young man named Paris, to judge a beauty contest between the goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Each of the goddesses offered Paris a bribe in exchange for his vote. Aphrodite’s was the most alluring: She promised to give the young prince the most beautiful wife in the world. Unfortunately, the wife in question–Helen, the daughter of Zeus–was already married to someone else: Menelaus, the king of Sparta. At Aphrodite’s urging, Paris went to Sparta, won Helen’s heart and took her (along with all of Menelaus’ money) back to Troy.
Menelaus vowed revenge. He assembled an army of Greece’s greatest warriors, including Achilles and his Myrmidons, and set off to conquer Troy and get his wife back. In Homer’s telling, this war lasted for 10 bloody years.
Achilles: The Illiad
When the Iliad begins, the Trojan War has been going on for nine years. Achilles, the poem’s protagonist, has led one battle after another. He has met with great success–in fact, he is undefeated in battle–but the war itself has reached a stalemate.
Homer’s story focuses on a different conflict, however: the internecine quarrel between his hero and Agamemnon, the leader of the Achaean armies and Menelaus’ brother. In a battle that took place before the poem begins, Agamemnon had taken as a concubine a young Trojan woman named Chryseis. Chryseis’ father, a priest of the god Apollo, tried to buy his daughter’s freedom, but Agamemnon mocked his entreaties and refused to release the girl.
Enraged, Apollo punished the Greek armies by sending a plague to kill the soldiers one by one. As his ranks thinned, Agamemnon finally agreed to allow Chryseis to return to her father. However, he demanded a replacement concubine in exchange: Achilles’ wife, the Trojan princess Breseis.
Achilles did as his commander asked and relinquished his bride. Then, he announced that he would no longer fight on Agamemnon’s behalf. He gathered his belonging and refused to come out of his tent.
With the Greeks’ greatest warrior off the battlefield, the tide began to turn in favor of the Trojans. The Greeks lost one battle after another. Eventually, Achilles’ best friend, the soldier Patroclus, was able to wrangle a compromise: Achilles would not fight, but he would let Patroclus use his armor as a disguise. That way, the Trojans would think that Achilles had returned to battle and would retreat in fear.
The plan was working until Apollo, still seething about Agamemnon’s treatment of Chryseis and her father, intervened on the Trojans’ behalf. He helped the Trojan prince Hector to find and kill Patroclus.
Achilles vowed to take revenge. Thetis asked the divine blacksmith Hephaestus to make a sword and shield that would keep him safe. Achilles chased Hector back to Troy, slaughtering Trojans all the way. When they got to the city walls, Hector tried to reason with his pursuer, but Achilles was not interested. He stabbed Hector in the throat, killing him.
Hector had begged for an honorable burial in Troy, but Achilles was determined to humiliate his enemy even in death. He dragged Hector’s body behind his chariot all the way back to the Achaean camp and tossed it on the garbage heap. However, in the poem’s last section Achilles finally relents: He returns Hector’s body to his father for a proper burial.
Achilles: The Fate of Achilles
In his Iliad, Homer does not explain what happened to Achilles. According to later legends (and bits and pieces of Homer’s own Odyssey), the warrior returned to Troy after Hector’s funeral to exact further revenge for Patroclus’ death. However, the still-vengeful Apollo told Hector’s brother Paris that Achilles was coming. Paris, who was not a brave warrior, ambushed Achilles as he entered Troy. He shot his unsuspecting enemy with an arrow, which Apollo guided to the one place he knew Achilles was vulnerable: his heel, where his mother’s hand had kept the waters of the Styx from touching his skin. Achilles died on the spot, still undefeated in battle.
The official history is hiding a major world power which existed as late as the 19th century. Tartary was a country with its own flag, its own government and its own place on the map. Its territory was huge, but somehow quietly incorporated into Russia, and some other countries. This country you can find on the maps predating the second half of the 19th century.
Yet, some time in the 18th century Tartary Muskovite was the biggest country in the world: 3,050,000 square miles.
The flag and crest of Tartary had an owl depicted on it. The emperor's flag contained a griffin on a yellow background.
There is a growing opinion in Russia that French invasion of Russia played out according to a different scenario.
The one where Tsar Alexander I, and Napoleon were on the same side. Together they fought against Tartary.
Essentially France and Saint Petersburg against Moscow (Tartary). And there is a strong circumstantial evidence to support such a theory.
They built the Great Wall in what is now China. Marco Polo wrote an extensive and detailed account of Asia in the 13th and 14th centuries and did not even mention a wall. The Great Wall is not seen on any maps pre-dating the late 1600’s. So most of it’s construction occurred in 1700’s and it was built to keep the encroaching Chinese out of Tartaria. The openings on the wall are on the north side towards the former Tartary not on the south China facing side. It should be called the Great Wall of Tartaria. The further back in time you go the more advanced it gets. There are many pyramids of different kinds. Megalithic temples hewn out of solid rock. The Ellora Caves in India. The colossal underground monolithic churches of Lalibela Ethiopia. Extensive underground tunnel systems. The astonishing Serapeum of Saqqara in Egypt. The earlier the monolithic stone the bigger it is and the more precision it is cut with. The earlier the structure the more incapable we are of replicating it. Never was mortar used. In past ages the world was more diverse. Skeletons of giants are found on all continents. And remains of beings with elongated skulls. Graveyards of little people and horned human like entities have been unearthed. Now it is as if these beings have never existed. Like the Tartarians they are never mentioned. We live in a virtual reality where true history is ignored and covered up. A totally false narrative is taught. Fantasies have replaced truth and everything is pushed way back to the remote past. Older advanced structures are credited to local people who came later who have no idea how to build them. Deception has been utilized to push history back a thousand years and create an artificial dark age. The time of Jesus was less than 1000 years ago. In the Middle Ages the i and J before numbers designated Jesus. Not the number one. For example i346 is 346 years after the time of Jesus. It is not 1346. Way back in the Old Testament at the time immediately following the Exodus it states that the Israelites used the Arc of the Covenant as a weapon of war. Against the Amorites, Midianites and Philistines. So the use of energy weapons has been going on for over a thousand years. It was perfected to the point where it was able to take out many millions of Tartarians. The energy weapons melted cities and destroyed the civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome which were approximately of the same time period as Jesus and were heavily influenced by Tartaria. Not only are they pushed way back into remote history, the extent of their empires have been fabricated. Destroying the pyramid complex was the first objective of the Israelites. Puma Punku which is part of the Tiahuanacu complex in Bolivia had interlocking megaliths of andesite and diorite. These are types of granite only surpassed in hardness by diamonds but they were somehow carved with laser like flatness. Now they are broken and shattered and blown to bits. Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku is said to have been built by a simple local migrating tribe. This idea is used all over the world to dismiss and cover-up the ancient advanced cultures. Energy weaponized from the Arc of the Covenant is what brought down the Walls of Jericho. The Arc was an electrical capacitor composed of silver and brass alloys and gilded with gold. It’s true purpose was to store and direct energy from the Earth to outside sources. But transporting it around was very dangerous and it caused people to become sick and die. It had a constant radiation but it also sent out intermittent electrical surges where many people were killed instantly. The ones who carried it had to wear protective clothing. The electrical capacity of such an apparatus would be over 500 volts. Opposing armies would be defenseless against such a weapon. The volume or cubic capacity of the empty coffer inside the Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza is exactly the same volume as the Arc of the Covenant. According to Egyptian tradition the Israelites plundered Egypt during the upheaval at the time of the Exodus. They took the Arc out of the so called Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid of Giza at this time. The tribe of Israel also used religion as a means to get their foot in the door in the ruling affairs of foreign countries. A religious leader holds great power able to influence many simple minds who believe the leader’s edicts are from God. The Druids who held such sway in England were Jewish. So were the Jesuits. So have been all the Popes and the Mormon leaders. The reason why Jewish people look down upon Christians is because they know they invented the Christian religion. Jewish beliefs are just a rendition of the former appearances and interactions of planetary Gods. Books written in Tartary were rewritten and sold as Jewish history. Much of the content was fabricated and interfused with traditional local beliefs. This is how they sold their religion. They used Monks to write what they wanted making them think they were doing God’s work. The burning of old books and the rewriting of them in order to change history is the real Reformation. The Library of Alexandria in Egypt was purposely destroyed to limit knowledge. Making deals with kings was a way they were able to get control of a country’s financial system. Once one controls the money supply and its allotments then they control the country. In this way righteous kings were replaced by insurgent kings who defrauded the people to take part in unjust wars. Just fake an event such as a murder, blame it on another country, add some patriotic and religious slogans, demonize the other country and you have created a war. In the Middle Ages the spraying of viruses not only eliminated entire villages it caused the Black Plague which killed off over 70 million people in Europe. Disease was a favorite weapon used against the Tartarian kingdom. In 1346 at the Siege of Kaffa in the Ukraine the Tartarians suffered an epidemic of plague brought on by the catapulting of viruses into the city. Fire was used to burn crops and create famine. The 1490’s saw the first signs of collapse of the Tartary Empire. In 1666 the city of London was intentionally burned. Tartaria was severely weakened in 1775. But it remained until the early 1800’s. When Napoleon attacked Russia, Moscow was hit by an energy weapon. So was Washington DC in the War of 1812. These wars were actually wars against Tartarians. The first two world wars were to wipe out remaining Tartarian influences. Genghis Khan was said to be a Mogul. Mogul is just a made-up name which is then associated with Mongolia. Genghis Khan fought to restore the kingdom of Tartary and reclaim their land. His mounted warriors were called Tartars. Now Tartary is associated with hell. Many buildings in America demolished or still standing, said to be built by early pioneers or native people in America were in fact built by the Tartars. Disease was also used against the native people in the Americas. It is estimated that 95% of them perished from disease. Mostly smallpox. The Aztecs looked upon the Spaniards as the returning of their light colored god. Their beliefs harkened back to the events in the ancient sky when a light colored god came down from the heavens to save them. But these light colored people came to kill them. The Old World Order was replaced by the New World Order. And the Gregorian Calendar was instituted. To force the common people to accept a new false chronology. Peace and freedom was been replaced by being fenced up in strict borders. The suppression of Tartary coincides with the new teaching of evolution. We just think we are evolving. We have become disconnected with nature and disconnected with reality. It was not always like that. The farther back in time you go the more connected and at peace we were. With ourselves, with the animals and with the land we lived on.

From a formal point of view, Oberalm is a young market, as the town was only granted market rights in 1930. Its great historical significance, however, can be seen from the fact that Oberalm has functioned since the Middle Ages as the southernmost village of the former Pfleggericht Glanegg; The marble Taiding table in the open air next to the church, which has been preserved from this period, is also unique. Not least because of this early administrative importance, Oberalm was occasionally referred to as a market since the late Middle Ages, but the late legal recognition of this position was delayed until the 20th century due to the long-standing dominance of the town of Hallein. Under the Nazi regime, the market town of Oberalm completely lost its independence due to the creation of the municipality of Hallein. It was not until eight years after the end of the Nazi regime that the market town of Oberalm was rebuilt on 1 January 1953 at the massive insistence of the population, but reduced in size by the parts bordering Hallein (especially Neualm).
The village of Oberalm has developed as a rural street village along the old country road to Hallein, which is the reason for the dense development on the main road. In addition to the Taiding table, the parish church of St. Stefan with its late Gothic ribbed vault and the hereditary burial of the knightly family of the Wiespeck, who had also been hereditary chamberlains of the archbishopric since the 15th century, can be mentioned as special buildings. In addition, the "castle quadrangle" should be mentioned: On the northern outskirts of the village is Winkl Castle, which served as the seat of the Wiespeck, and since 1908 it has housed the Winklhof agricultural college. The two castles of Haunsperg and Kahlsperg are residences from the 14th century, which derive their names from their builders, the von Haunsperg and the Chalhochsbergs. Today, the former is run as a castle hotel and the latter serves as a retirement home. Since the new boundary was drawn in 1953, Wiespach Castle, the fourth residence, is no longer located on Oberalm territory, but belongs to the town of Hallein.
