A teenager from Canada has discovered a Mayan City. William Gadoury, a 15-year-old from Saint-Jean-de-Matha in Canada, used images from NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and the Japanese Space Agency to connect the position of the stars in constellations to the position of Mayan cities.
“Geometric shapes, such as squares or rectangles, appeared on these images, forms that can hardly be attributed to natural phenomena,” says remote sensing specialist at the University of New Brunswick, Dr. Armand LaRocque.
“When Dr. LaRocque told me in January, we distinguish a pyramid and thirty structures, it was extraordinary,” said young Gadoury. William has named the lost city K’ÀAK ‘CHI’ or ‘fire mouth’ in French. “I did not understand why the Maya built their cities away from rivers, on marginal lands and in the mountains, said William. “They had to have another reason, and as they worshiped the stars, the idea came to me to verify my hypothesis. I was really surprised and excited when I realized that the most brilliant stars of the constellations matched the largest Maya cities.”
THE MARSHALL ISLANDS — If your home is going underwater, you have no doubt about human induced climate change. This is the case for Bikini islanders. In the 1940’s, Bikini island was used for atomic bomb tests. The United States conducted at least 23 nuclear tests including the Bravo hydrogen bomb (the largest weapon of mass destruction at that time.) In 1946, the US relocated residents of Bikini island to another of the Marshall Islands and set up a trust fund. However, by 2011 floods, high tides and encroaching salt water began threatening their existence.
“The people of Bikini came back to us and asked us to take this proposal to the US, to request the resettlement trust fund be used to settle people in the US not just the Marshall Islands,” said Tony de Brum, Foreign Minister of the Marshall Islands. “We have not seen the final text of the legislation but the request that went in was on the basis of Kili being uninhabitable because of climate change.”
This could be the first wave of climate change refugees. It is possible that coastal cities worldwide will need to relocate during this century.

Those perpetuating the conspiracy myth tend to leave out the other two sites. The plane that came down in Pennsylvania was occupied by the former quarterback of West Chester University. He is the one that yelled “Let’s roll!” (before the passengers tried to take the plane back.) He has become a local hero. There are also witnesses in Washington at the the Pentagon. If you have a doubt, try explaining Cantor Fitzgerald.
On March 10, 1945, the United States sent 334 B-29 bombers to raid Japan with 279 of the planes dropping 1,665 tons of bombs on Tokyo. Approximately 15.8 square miles of the city was destroyed and some 100,000 people are estimated to have died.
Operation Meetinghouse — “The bombs were mostly the 500-pound E-46 cluster bombs which released 38 napalm-carrying M-69 incendiary bomblets at an altitude of 2,000–2,500 ft. The M-69s punched through thin roofing material or landed on the ground; in either case they ignited 3–5 seconds later, throwing out a jet of flaming napalm globs.” (Wikipedia)
Did you know that Santa Claus is based on a real person from Turkey? Saint Nicholas of Myra was a Greek Christian bishop of Myra (now known as Turkey.) Around 500 AD, Nicholas became known for his saintly acts. One story has him giving gifts to those in need. A poor family did not have enough money for a dowry so that their daughter would not have to become a prostitute. Nicholas went to their house intending to sneak gold in through their window; however, the windows had bars. In what would become a Christmas tradition, Nicholas threw the gold down the chimney. It happened to land in the girl’s stocking which had been hung to dry.
Better than imagination… realization… “The Rosetta Lander Imaging System (ROLIS) on Philae took this picture three kilometres above the surface as the craft descended.”
The European Space Agency has successfully landed a spaceship on a comet. The Rosetta mission started 10 years ago when Philae was launched into space. An ESA spokesman said, “We are the first to have done that, and that will stay forever.”
According to a press release in The Sunday Times of the United Kingdom, Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children:
‘Married’ Jesus found in British Library — A new book claims Jesus married Mary Magdalene, a theory that is also touched upon in the film The Last Temptation of Christ
IT SOUNDS like The Da Vinci Code: a new history book claims that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered two children with her.
The book, The Lost Gospel, will also claim that there was a previously unknown plot on Jesus’s life when he was 20 and an assassination attempt on Mary and her children.
While it may appear to be fiction, the book, which is published later this month, is based on an ancient manuscript held by the British Library.
The authors are Simcha Jacobovici, an Israeli-Canadian writer and film-maker who specialises in ancient historical and archeological investigations, and Barrie Wilson, a professor of religious studies at York University, Toronto.
A press conference will be held at the British Library on Wednesday, when further details of the claims will be unveiled.
Richard was born in 1452 at Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire
His coronation took place in Westminster Abbey in 1483
Richard had one of the shortest reigns in British history – 26 months
He was the last English king to die in battle, killed at Bosworth in 1485
King Richard III was probably killed by two blows to the head during a “sustained attack”, according to new scientific research. Forensic teams studied the skeleton to determine the nature of the injuries and weapons that were used.
The English king was killed at the Battle of Bosworth on 22 August, 1485.
Forensic teams at the University of Leicester have now revealed he suffered at least 11 injuries, some possibly inflicted after death.
CT scans were used on his 500-year-old skeleton to help determine his injuries and the medieval weapons used.
His remains were found under a car park in Leicester in 2012.
The results of forensic analysis, published in The Lancet, show he had nine wounds to the skull and two to the postcranial skeleton.
Researchers said three of these “had the potential to cause death quickly”.
Wounds To The Head
Sarah Hainsworth, study author and professor of materials engineering, said: “Richard’s injuries represent a sustained attack or an attack by several assailants with weapons from the later medieval period.
“Wounds to the skull suggest he was not wearing a helmet, and the absence of defensive wounds on his arms and hands indicate he was still armoured at the time of his death.”
Guy Rutty, from the East Midlands pathology unit, said the two fatal injuries to the skull were likely to have been caused by a sword, a staff weapon such as halberd or bill, or the tip of an edged weapon.
He said: “Richard’s head injuries are consistent with some near-contemporary accounts of the battle, which suggest Richard abandoned his horse after it became stuck in a mire and was killed while fighting his enemies.”
Investigators said they believed damage to the pelvis was caused by a thin dagger stabbed into the buttocks. While this injury could in theory have caused fatal bleeding, it was unlikely to have been the cause of death as Richard’s armour would have protected this part of the body.
They suggested this wound, along with another to a rib, was likely to have been inflicted after death, possibly when the body was slung over a horse.
Researchers said there could have been more wounds to soft tissue which left no trace on the skeleton.
King Richard’s skeleton is due to be reinterred at Leicester Cathedral in March.
