The Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is considered to be 'The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World'. To this day this medieval artifact resists all efforts at translation. It is either an ingenious hoax or an unbreakable cipher. It is named after its discoverer,the American antique book dealer and collector, Wilfrid M. Voynich, who discovered it in 1912, amongst a collection of ancient manuscripts kept in villa Mondragone in Frascati, near Rome, which had been by then turned into a Jesuit College (closed in 1953).

Wilfrid M. Voynich

No one knows the origins of the manuscript. Experts believe it is European based on the drawings. They believe it was written in between the 15th and 17th centuries. The manuscript is small, seven by ten inches, but thick, nearly 235 pages.

Based on the evidence of the calligraphy, the drawings, the vellum, and the pigments, Wilfrid Voynich estimated that the Manuscript was created in the late 13th century. The manuscript is small, seven by ten inches, but thick, nearly 235 pages. It is written in an unknown script of which there is no known other instance in the world. It is abundantly illustrated with awkward coloured drawings of:

unidentified plants;
what seems to be herbal recipes;
tiny naked women frolicking in bathtubs connected by intricate plumbing looking more like anatomical parts than hydraulic contraptions;
mysterious charts in which some have seem astronomical objects seen through a telescope, some live cells seen through a microscope;
charts into which you may see a strange calendar of zodiacal signs, populated by tiny naked people in rubbish bins.http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/voynichbathers.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/Voynich2.jpg
Its pages are filled with hand-written text and crudely drawn illustrations. The illustrations depict plants, astrological diagrams, and naked women.
The women could represent creation and rebirth of consciousness.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/voynichtext.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/voynichscript.gif
These illustrations are strange, but much stranger is the text itself,
because the manuscript is written entirely in a mysterious,
unknown alphabet that has defied all attempts at translation.

Deformed Ancient Skulls

Many strangely "deformed" hominoid skulls have been discovered in Mexico and Peru. Other such skulls have been found around the globe, but this is the first time that the diversity of skulls within a small area (in this case the Paracas region of Peru) has been examined. Some of the skulls are very distinct, as if they belong to entirely different species, remotely similar to genus Homo.

Unusual Paracas skull supposedly deformed by binding the growing
head of an infant. The resulting domed head was considered beautiful.
Photographed in the Museo Regional de Ica.

The majority of people assumed that they represented an example of binding of the head, well known to be in fashion in ancient Nubia, Egypt and other cultures. But anthropologists have admitted that the shapes of the Peruvian skulls is unlike the deformity caused by binding.

Any conjectures that what these specimens represent are simply deformations or pathological cases can be hardly substantiated. Also, it is necessary to keep in mind that any pathological growth of the cranium has dire consequences for the afflicted individual at the early stage of the development, practically without exception. Nature is very unforgiving in this respect. All the specimens presented here were mature individuals.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/skull_1sml.jpg
Photographed in the National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History of Peru

Textbooks' oldest date of appearance of humans in North America is about 35,000 BC and much later for South America, based on the diffusion theory assumptions. Only humans with modern types of anatomy can comfortably be placed Peru. These types of skulls simply should not exist.

Deformed Ancient Skulls (part 2)

These skulls were photographed by Robert Connolly on his trip around the world during which he was collecting materials about ancient civilizations. The discovery of unusual skulls was thus an unintended "spinoff" of his efforts

The data about the skulls is incomplete, and that makes the correct assessment of their age, context with other hominids, as well as placement of their origin extremely difficult. Some of the skulls are very distinct, as if they belong to entirely different species, remotely similar to genus Homo. The first thing that attracts attention is the size and shape of the cranium in all the specimens. There are 4 different groups represented in the pictures. As a matter of convenience, I labeled them "conehead", "jack-o-lantern" or "J" and "M" based on the shape of the skull, except the first and possibly earliest type of skull, which I call "premodern".

When some of these pictures (the first two) were posted on CompuServe more than year ago, the majority of people assumed that they represented an example of binding of the head, well known to be in fashion in ancient Nubia, Egypt and other cultures. The problem with this theory is that the inside of the cranium of the mentioned skulls, although elongated and with a back sloping, flattened forehead, have the same capacity as normal human skulls; the only difference is the shape achieved by frontal and side deformations. They are actually more similar to the first type of skull (premodern) with the rounded back, than the conehead type. The cone-shaped types of skull are not found amongst the usual skull-binding samples.

The first skull presents problems of its own. The frontal part of the skull seems to belong to an individual of the pre-Neanderthal family, but the lower jaw, though more robust than modern human type, has a modern shape and characteristics. The shape of the cranium does not have any comparison with the Erectus, Neanderthal types, nor the modern human type. Some minor Neanderthal characteristics are present, as is the occipital ridge on the bottom back of the skull and the flattened bottom of the cranium, other characteristics point more tovards Homo Erectus. The angle of the cranial bottom is, though, unusual. We cannot exclude the possibility of a deformed individual in this case, but it is highly unlikely that the angle of the frontal part would require a modification of the lower jaw in the process of growing to resemble modern human types with their projected chin rim. The answer seems to be that the skull belongs to a representantive of an unknown premodern human or humanoid type.

As is obvious from the comparison with a modern human skull, the cranial capacity lies within the modern human range. This is not surprising, since the late Neanderthals and early modern humans (Cro-Magnon) had larger cranial capacities (both roughly 1600 ccm to 1750 ccm) than modern humans (av. 1450 ccm). The decrease of the cranial capacity (sudden at that -- the specimens of modern humans after about 10500 BCE have smaller craniums) is a puzzling matter, but that's another story.

No less puzzling is what a representative of a premodern human type is doing on the South American continent. According to the orthodox anthropology, this skull simply does not exist, because it cannot be. Textbooks' oldest date of appearance of humans in North America is about 35000 BCE and much later for South America, based on the diffusion theory assumptions. The only accepted human types entering the continent are of the modern anatomy. There are some other sources that place all types of human genus in both Americas at much earlier dates based on numerous anomalous finds, but the academe sticks to its preconceived notions, no matter what. It's safer.

'Conehead'

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/skull1c.jpg
'Premodern'

The "premodern" skull and the following three specimens were found in the Paracas region of Perú. It does not necessarily mean that they are related. There is some possibility that the "premodern" is in fact a precursor of the "conehead" type, but since we do not have any dating analysis at hand, we may only speculate in this regard.

The "conehead" type is very unusual because of the cranial shape. Here we have three specimens, which exclude the possibility of random or artificial deformation (the already mentioned Nubian deformations had quite a number of individual variations). They have individual characteristics within the range of overall morphology. There is no doubt that they are closely related and possibly represent quite a distinct branch of the genus Homo, if not an entirely different species.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/skull_p.jpg
Type "J"


The "J" type of skull presents different sets of problems. It is an equivalent of the modern type of skull in all respects, with only several factors out of proportion. Less significant is the size of eye sockets which are about 15% larger than in modern populations. More significant is the enormity of the cranial vault. The estimated cranial capacity ranges between minimum of 2600 ccm to 3200 ccm.

Again, the age of the specimen is unknown and so far I am not aware of other specimens of this type. The variation on a theme may be the "M" type of skull which is even more bizarre than all the previous skulls.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/skull_w.jpg
Type "M"

The "M" type of skull is incomplete, as the lower part of the facial area is concerned. What is apparent from the remnants of the facial portion is that the characteristics are entirely within the range of a normal human skull. The cranial vault, on the other hand, is the largest amongst the displayed specimens. Also, the two protruding "lobes" are highly anomalous. The cranial capacity can be estimated safely above 3000 ccm mark.

Both "J" and "M" types are bordering on biological impossibility. The only explanation I can imagine for the specimens to be naturally born is if the neoteny (the ability of the species to prolong the growth period before maturing) of both groups had been expanded beyond the range for a modern type of human, for the skull to grow to such a size. That may also mean the average life span of these specimens may have been substantially longer than the average for the modern human type.

The Green Children of Banjos

gak ada potonya nih...

Pada tahun 1887 dua orang anak kecil ditemukan di hutan dekat kota Banjos, Spanyol. Tapi anak2 ini bukanlah anak2 yang tersesat atau anak yang ditinggalkan oleh ortunya. Mereka ditemukan oleh para pekerja lapangan yang merasa terganggu oleh jeritan tangis anak2. Setelah diselidiki, mereka menemukan sepasang anak (laki dan perempuan) yang berpelukan sambil menangis di depan sebuah gua. Bahasanya aneh (yang pasti bukan spanish) - pakaiannya lebih aneh lagi (terbuat spt dari metal) dan ini yang paling aneh (kulit keduanya berwarna hijau!)

Setelah dibawa ke kota untuk dirawat, tidak lama kemudian anak yang laki meninggal. Tidak heran karena susah untuk menyuruh mereka makan dan minum. Tapi anak perempuannya selamat. Setelah beradaptasi dengan penduduk dan bahasa setempat, ia bercerita bahwa saudaranya (anak laki) dan ia berasal dari sebuah tempat yang remang-remang (tidak ada cahaya matahari yang jelas).

Ketika ditanya bagaimana caranya bisa nyampe di depan goa? dia bilang kalu dia mendengar suara ledakan yang amat keras, dan terdorong oleh "sesuatu" hingga tiba2 ada di depan goa.

The Green Children of Woolpit

Yang ini beda lagi kejadiannya, tapi cerita ttg anak2 ini hampir sama dengan yang di Banjos - Spain.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/woolpit.jpg
Image rekaan artis. Kiri: La Flor Kanan: Fli Hoor :kakaka: :kakaka:

Sometime between the years 1135 A.D. and 1154 A.D., two strange children were found near Woolpit, England.

Workers were harvesting their fields when they heard frightened cries; investigating, they discovered two children, a boy and a girl, terrified and huddled near a pit. They were screaming in a unknown language, and their clothes were made of a strange looking, unknown material... but stranger still, the children's skin was green.

The two were taken to the home of a man named Richard de Calne, where the local populace attempted to take care of them... but the children refused to eat or drink anything that was offered until someone brought in some fresh bean stalks. The children eagerly grabbed these and opened the stalks; and when they saw these empty, they started to cry. When shown that the beans were in the pods instead, the children quickly ate their fill and ate nothing else for some time after.

Soon after they were found, the boy sickened and died; but the girl became healthy and hearty, eventually losing the green hue to her skin. When she learned the local language, what she told of her origins only deepened the mystery. She said that she and her brother had come from a land with no sun; the people there, all green, lived in a perpetual twilight. When she was asked how she had come to be found outside the pit, she could only say that she and her brother had heard bells, become entranced... then the two of them were in the pit and could see the light from the mouth of it.

Though the girl lived long after her discovery, eventually marrying a local man, she was never able to give any further help in solving the mystery of her and her brother's origins and odd arrival in Woolpit

secara umum kaya wayang kulit Jawa. tipe2 two-dimensional puppets yang terbuat dari kulit (kalo yang Kamboja punya ini ane lupa terbuat dari kulit apa :hehe) dalangnya main dibelakang cloth screen, tapi bedanya sama wayang Jawa which can be enjoyed both in front of and behind the screen, wayang Kamboja ini cuman bisa dinikmati dari depan screen aja, seperti Wayang Bali. Cara maininnya sama macem wayang Bali/Malaysia... dalang duduk (lesehan tepatnya kekekeke) dibelakang screen trus dang ding dong deng dong maiinin wayang pake dua tangan pastinya. ada sindennya juga... plus iringan musik semacem gamelan2 gitu... tapi musik yang dominan yang bunyinya ngik ngok ngik ngok gt, ga tw ah namanya apa ;D dari segi cerita, ane tidak mengerti sama sekali! secara dia pake bahasa kamboja... cuman ngerti waktu sindennya nyanyi Bengawan Solo, kocak abis! :kakaka:

sudah banget nyari fotonya. tapi kurang lebih kaya gini nih

Sisi lain dari Angkor Wat

This lady is performing the Cambodian Apsara dance in front of Angkor Wat. The Apsara dance was created in the late 1950s by Queen Kossamak based on the story of the “Churning of Ocean of Milk” depicted on the bas reliefs of the 12th-century temple of Angkor Wat.

Cambodia is a young country with a large proportion of kids, mostly living in poor, unhygienic conditions. But what amazed me constantly was their ability to smile and overcome all adversity. This mind you, is not a posed picture. The girl was enjoying herself as hundreds of visitors walked past her along the bridge across the moat surrounding the Angkor complex.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/intheruinsofangkor2.jpg

In the ruins of Angkor, there are sets of lights which bore the old stones.
There are trees without decencies which cover the steles.
There are corridors which do not carry out nowhere. There are apsaras engraved on the walls which make fun of time.
There is the mystery of the dark corners.
And then there are sometimes modest meetings and crossings which remain like images, engraved in the memory.

Preah Khan - Angkor, XII - XIII century

Shwe Dagon Pagoda - Myanmar

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/shwedagon-pagoda-500.jpg

The origins of Shwedagon are lost in antiquity, its age unknown. Long before the pagoda was built, its location on Singuttara hill was already an ancient sacred site because of the buried relics of the three previous Buddhas. According to one legend, nearly 5000 years had passed since the last Buddha walked the Earth, and Singuttara hill would soon lose its blessedness unless it was reconsecrated with relics of a new Buddha.

In order that such new relics might be obtained, King Okkalapa of Suvannabhumi spent much time atop the hill, meditating and praying. A series of miracles ensued and eight hairs of the historical Buddha were, somewhat magically, brought to the hill. To enshrine the relics, multiple pagodas of silver, tin, copper, lead, marble, iron and gold where built one on top of the other to a height of twenty meters.

During the following centuries, passing from myth to historical fact, the pagoda grew to its present height of ninety-eight meters. Much of the continued construction of Shwedagon was actually reconstruction following disastrous earthquakes. During the 17th century the pagoda suffered earthquake damage on at least eight occasions. A particularly bad quake in 1786 brought the entire top half of the pagoda to the ground and its current shape and height date from the reconstruction of that time.

Agama dan Gejala Supra Normal (Bagian ke-3)

Setelah planet ini terkucil dari pergaulan kosmik, Bumi kita hanya diamat-amati dari jauh saja. Pesawat UFO masih tetap datang namun tidak melakukan pendaratan.

Mereka datang setiap 6000 tahun sekali hanya sekadar melihat bagaimana Bumi berkembang tanpa bantuan dari luar. Namun kira-kira 35.000 tahun yang lalu, suatu rombongan mahluk celestial kembali mendarat, yaitu rombongan Adam dan Hawa. Kalau rombongan pertama terdiri dari mahluk spiritual tanpa badan fisik, Adam dan Hawa adalah mahluk semi-material, yang perlu makan-minum, perlu pakaian dan bernafas. Mereka juga bisa memperoleh keturunan. Tujuan misi mereka adalah untuk melakukan percampuran darah dengan mahluk Bumi. Namun percampuran ini
hanya dapat dimulai jika keturunan rombongan mereka telah mencapai jumlah sejuta orang. Ketetapan ini langsung datang dari pusat pemerintahan celestial tertinggi, yang harus menjadi pegangan bagi “para pegawai” di tingkat bawah.

Tapi Sat-an masih leluasa bergerak di Bumi sebagaimana dapat di baca pada Kitab
Ayub 1:7. Ia berusaha menggagalkan rencana kosmik dengan membujuk Hawa. Melalui mahluk-mahluk Bumi, ia menerangkan pada Hawa bahwa menurut rencana semula, proses peningkatan mutu biologis manusia akan makan waktu yang terlampau lama. Ada cara lain yang jauh lebih cepat, ialah jika Hawa rela melakukan perkawinan langsung dengan manusia Bumi. Hawa terkena bujuk rayu ini karena ia lupa bahwa keturunannya hanya boleh melakukan hubungan seksual dengan penduduk Bumi jika
telah mencapai sejuta orang. Padahal keturunan rombongannya baru berjumlah kurang lebih 1600 orang. Seandainya rencana celestial ini tidak gagal, maka umat manusia akan jauh lebih homogen baik dalam warna kulit maupun dalam syifat bathin sehingga akan mempermudah persatuan umat manusia. Perlu dicatat disini bahwa rombongan Adam – Hawa mendapat pengampunan meski telah melanggar perintah atasan, walau akhirnya mereka harus mengalami nasib seperti manusia biasa lainnya, yaitu mengalami kematian secara fisikal. Sebelumnya, mereka tergolong mahluk yang dapat hidup kekal dalam ujud material. Cerita ular dan buah apel adalah suatu distorsi dari kejadian yang sebenarnya dan ini terjadi karena kurangnya pengertian manusia ketika itu.

Secara genetik darah Adam dan Hawa paling banyak ditemukan dalam diri
orang-orang dari ras kaukasoid (suku bangsa Eropah), dan yang paling murni dari mereka adalah darah orang-orang Yunani (Greek). Bangsa Yunani telah menghasilkan banyak karya-karya patung yang menunjukkan keindahan fisikal nenek moyang mereka yang celestial misalnya patung Venus de Milo. Keindahan fisikal ini tidak dapat lagi dilampaui pada generasi berikutnya karena semakin menipisnya darah Adam dan
Hawa. Dewasa ini bangsa Eropah pun tidak lagi dapat menunjukkan keunggulan dalam darahnya, mereka malah mengalami kemunduran hebat dalam hal kehidupan bathiniah. Tapi ini hanya berlangsung sementara. Seluruh umat manusia akan memasuki jaman kehidupan spritual, New Age.

Pembinaan berikutnya terjadi di jaman Nabi Ibrahim. Meski dalam skala yang tidak begitu luas, namun cukup untuk membangkitkan kembali gagasan adanya Tuhan YME sebagaimana yang terdapat dalam ajaran Nabi Musa yang lalu disempurnakan oleh Jesus. Ajaran Musa akhirnya membatu dalam syariat yang sangat kaku dan ketat dalam ujud agama Yahudi. Sedang ajaran Jesus Christ praktis belum dapat diterapkan dengan utuh oleh para pengikutnya karena ajaran Jesus hanya cocok bila manusia telah mencapai taraf kesadaran spiritual dimana permusuhan sesama manusia dilampaui. Namun esensi ajaran Jesus masih berlaku hingga kini yaitu agar kita menyayangi Tuhan dengan segenap hati, segenap jiwa, segenap kemauan.
Yang masih belum bisa dilakukan oleh kebanyakan manusia adalah “memberi pipi kanan jika yang kiri ditampar orang” atau “mencintai orang-orang yang
memusuhimu”. Ajaran ini menuntut agar manusia benar-benar melampaui ego-nya, hawa nafsunya sendiri. Ajaran ini praktis dilupakan orang-orang bahkan orang Kristen sekalipun. Hakekat semua ajaran tentu ialah untuk menjaga kerukunan antara sesama manusia. Ini hendak dicapai oleh kaum Muslim melalui acara maaf-memaafkan pada tiap akhir puasa. Namun ini pun nampaknya telah membatu dalam syariat yang cukup kaku.

Dewasa ini Bumi nampaknya dinilai telah cukup matang untuk kembali dalam jajaran planet-planet yang bergabung dalam pemerintahan celestial. Matriks organisasi daya dan gaya sedang disusun untuk itu, baik di belakang layar di tingkat eterik maupun di tingkat fisikal. Berbagai unit sedang bekerja keras walau masing-masing unit untuk sementara belum menyadari untuk apa mereka bekerja. Ada unit komunikasi, unit transportasi dan sebagainya. Suatu ground network juga sedang disusun. Di bidang spiritual, manusia sedang dibina oleh karena banyak pelaksanaan tugas berada di tingkat spiritual. Karena sebagian besar pelaksana berada di alam eterik, manusia Bumi harus benar-benar memahami berbagai aspek alam eterik ini dan dapat bergaul dengan mahluk-mahluk yang tidak berbadan fisik. Inilah masa yang kita lalui dewasa ini. Semoga kita siap untuk menghadapi berbagai perkembangan yagn mungkin mengejutkan bilamana tidak ada pemberitahuan sebelumnya.

Yang disebut “Surga” sebenarnya adalah benda angkasa yang terbuat dari bahan semi material yang menjadi pusat dari alam semesta. Inilah satu-satunya benda di alam semesta yang tidak bergerak. Ini pula titik pusat dari 3 medan gravita, yaitu medan gravita spiritual (asal muasal segala yg berujud spiritual), medan gravita mental (asal muasal pikiran dan ujud mental) dan medan gravita material (asal muasal segala yg berujud material/fisikal). Benda angkasa ini dikelilingi oleh benda-benda angkasa hitam, sehingga kalaupun dapat dijangkau oleh teleskop kita, tidak akan dapat dilihat.

“Surga” ini adalah kediaman mahluk-mahluk celestial tertinggi yang mengurusi alam raya. Dari tempat inilah dapat diutus mahluk-mahluk celestial lainnya ke sebuah planet yang telah siap untuk memasuki tingkat kehidupan spiritual. Mereka disebut bangsa Avonal. Besar kemungkinan, apa yang disebut Rabbilfalaq dalam Quran adalah bangsa Avonal ini yang berinkarnasi sebagai manusia biasa. Beliau lahir dari seorang ibu, dibesarkan sebagai bayi dan kemudian dewasa. Tugasnya adalah sebagai penutup jaman yang lalu dan membuka jaman yang akan datang. Tentu
tidak secara formal melalui kata-kata pengumuman di TV atau media massa,
melainkan dengan tindakan-tindakannya. Tapi karena Beliau melakukannya secara diam-diam dan low profile, kita tidak akan mudah mengenalinya. Namun jika kita jeli memperhatikan berbagai sumber keterangan, khususnya dari literatur Kitab-kitab Suci, kita akan sampai pada kesimpulan yang saya coba utarakan di atas. Namun ini pun hanya penafsiran pribadi belaka dari penulis, harap jangan diambil terlalu serius.

Beliau menutup jaman yang lalu dengan memberikan manusia suatu metoda untuk dapat mendekatkan diri ke Tuhan sehingga semua metoda terdahulu menjadi “obsolete”, daluwarsa. Ini pula yang membuka jaman baru, sehingga manusia mampu membangun dunia baru berdasar prinsip-prinsip spiritual. Menurut keterangan Beliau, keadaan yang sebenarnya baru akan terungkap bilamana beliau sudah tidak ada lagi.

Menurut Beliau, sesungguhnya berbicara mengenai yang spiritual praktis tidak bermanfaat, oleh karena jurang yang terlampau besar antara dunia dan alam spiritual. Alam spiritual hanya dapat dialami. Pengungkapan dengan kata-kata bisa membawa gambaran yang keliru. Ingat akan kata-kata Beliau ini, saya menutup tulisan ini dengan mohon maaf kalau saya sudah terlampau banyak bicara dan mohon maaf jika ada kata yang kurang pada tempatnya.

Mahamuni Buddha Mandalay - Myanmar

Legends tell that Guatama Buddha once went to teach among the people of Dhannavati (now the northern Rakhine region of Burma/Myanmar). The king, Candra-suriya, requested that Guatama leave an image of himself for the benefit of the people. Buddha sat for a week of meditation under a Bodhi tree while Sakka, a king of the gods, created a life-like image of great beauty. Buddha was pleased with the image and decided to imbue it with his spiritual essence for a period of five thousand years.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/applying-gold-leaf-500.jpg
Pilgrims applying gold leaf to the Maha Muni Buddha Mandalay

According to ancient tradition, only five likenesses of the Buddha were said to have been made during his lifetime: Two were in India, two in paradise, and the fifth is the Maha Muni or "Great Sage". Archaeologists believe the image was probably cast during the reign of King Chandra Surya, who ascended the throne in AD 146, some 600 years after the Buddha actually passed away. Little is known of the Maha Muni's travels over the next fifteen hundred years. It was stolen and moved around by various kings. At other times it was buried beneath a crumbling temple in a forgotten jungle. The image was brought to Mandalay in 1784 by King Bodawpaya and placed within the specially built Payagi Pagoda. Since that time it has been the most venerated Buddha image in all of Burma.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/portal-sacred-hill-mandalay-500.jpg
Portal to sacred hill of Mandalay

The statue is 3.8 meters tall. Originally cast of metal, it is now entirely coated with a two-inch thick layer of gold leaf. So much gold leaf has been applied by so many different hands that the figure has developed an irregular outline. Many thousands of pilgrims visit the shrine each day and a great festival in early February draws hundreds of thousands.

In a courtyard of the Payagi Pagoda, near the Maha Muni, are six Khmer bronze statues - three lions, a three-headed elephant and two warriors - that originally stood as guardians of Cambodia's Angkor Wat temple. The statues of the warriors are reputed to have miraculous healing qualities. Legends tell that rubbing a body part of either of the statues will cure an affliction in the corresponding part of your own body. When these statues were originally brought to the Maha Muni temple following a long and circuitous journey around southeast Asia, there were no healing legends associated with them. After centuries at the temple the statues came to be regarded as having healing powers, but nothing is known of when or how this legend began. It is fascinating to reflect that the healing powers of the statues seem to have been generated over time by the intention and beliefs of the countless thousands of visiting pilgrims. For some long-forgotten reason, sick persons once began rubbing the statues while making prayers for healing. These prayers have somehow charged or energized the statues with a power that is now held accountable for many thousands of incidents of miraculous healing. While most contemporary scientists will scoff at such an idea, the fact of the matter is that otherwise unexplainable healings have indeed occurred. We can offer no other explanation for this miraculous phenomenon, but remember that merely because conventional science cannot currently explain something does not mean it is impossible.

Sacred Temples of Bagan - Myanmar

There are two preeminent ancient religious cities in Southeast Asia: Bagan in Burma and Angkor in Cambodia. Both sites are notable for their expanse of sacred geography and the number and size of their individual temples. For many visitors Bagan is the more extraordinary of the two cities and this because of the view. The ruins of the more than one hundred Angkor temples stand alone and isolated in thick jungles, and only from the top of the tallest temples it is not possible to see others in the distance.

Sprawling across a vast dusty plain, the ruins of Bagan are unhidden. There being no trees to obstruct the view, one may gaze over forty square miles of countryside, upon literally thousands of temples. In the early morning, from Sulamani Temple, or in the late afternoon, from Gawdawpalin Temple, the view is among the very finest the world has to offer.

Mahabodhi, this temple is an exact, though smaller, replica of the famous Bodhi temple in Bodh Gaya, India (where the Buddha attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree). It was built during the reign of King Nantaungmya (1210-1234) and is completely covered with niches containing seated Buddha figures.

Shwezigon Temple, Bagan

Shwezigon, this pagoda was built as the most important reliquary shrine in Bagan. Begun by King Anawrahta and completed by King Kyanzittha in 1089, it contains several bones and hairs of the Buddha. Pilgrims from throughout Burma journey to Shwezigon each year for a great festival during the Burmese month of Nadaw, which falls in the November-December period. This festival is hugely popular because elements of pre-Buddhist Nat worship (Nats are pagan anamistic spirits) were combined with Buddhist themes in the pagoda’s construction. Shwezigon is thus a center of pilgrimage for both the archaic shamanic culture of Burma and the newer religion of Buddhism.

This temple was completed in 1091 A.D. by King Kyanzittha. It is modeled after the legendary Nandamula cave in the Himalaya mountains. Soaring to 51 meters, it received its golden gilding in 1990 in commemeration of the 900th anniversary of its construction. Contained within the temple are four great statues of the Buddhas of the four ages. Kakusandha faces north, Konagamana faces east, Kassapa faces south, and Guatama, the most recent Buddha, faces west.

Specific trouble spots around the earth are easily identified by tuning into the local news and current affairs of an area located in or near to a major sacred site. Where there are problems in the world, there is sure to be a blockage in the chakra system somewhere...

Sacred Temples of Angkor

Selain Angkor Wat di kompleks Angkor juga ada kuil-kuil lainnya

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ta_phrom.jpg
Ta Phrom

Ta Prohm is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built in the Bayon style largely in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. Located approximately one kilometre east of Angkor Thom and on the southern edge of the East Baray near Tonle Bati, it was built by King Jayavarman VII as a Mahayana Buddhist monastery and university. Unlike most of the other Angkor temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/angkor_nov-03_087.jpg
Bayon Temple

Bayon was the state temple of Jayavarman VII, a powerful ruler in the late 13th century. The temple sat at the center of Angkor Thom, a walled city that served as the capital of the Khmer Empire. Four of the city's five gates sat on axis with the temple, and the walls of the city substituted for the enclosure walls normally found at Khmer temples. The walls sit at such a distance from the temple that the temple seems to rise abruptly from the ground like an artificial mountain. In fact, the temple was intended to evoke the form of Mt. Meru--the cosmic mountain at the center of the world in Buddhist cosmology. In keeping with this cosmic symbolism, the plan of the temple is based on a "yantra", a symbol used by Tantric Buddhists as the basis of mandala diagrams that represent the layout of the universe. The temple honored not just one deity, but a host of gods found throughout the Khmer empire. Its central shrine held an image of Jayavarman VII, who perhaps imagined himself as a god-King ruling in the name of the Buddha.

btw angkor tuh tempat apaan ya? knp disebut angkor?

Angkor itu nama kompleks candi (sekarang). Dahulu itu nama kota. Angkor sendiri diterjemahkan dari bahasa sanskrit 'nagara' artinya 'holy city'

Angkor memang Angker :hehe

dasar taliban ga punya otak, ngapain ngancur2in patung2 berseni tinggi gitu...

dasar taliban ga punya otak, ngapain ngancur2in patung2 berseni tinggi gitu...

dulu mereka ngancem untuk meledakkan patung Buddha itu sebagai alat tawar menawar agar Pasukan US tidak menginvasi Afghan setelah peristiwa 9/11. Kirain cuman gertakan, eh gak taunya diledakin beneran!

knp harus patung itu?

Alesan lain pemusnahan Bamiyan Buddha:

The Buddhas were destroyed following the Taliban's assertion that the statues were idolatrous. With the swift collapse of the Tabliban in November, 2001, a team of Swiss preservationists has announced plans to restore the statues using precise three-dimensional data collected in the 1970s. However, the United Nations recommended in early 2002 that the monuments not be restored as a reminder of the Taliban's destructive legacy.

Idolatrus= berhala

tapi di india banyak patung aman2 aja tuch

Swayambhunath Stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal


http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/swayambhunath-temple-02-500.jpg
Swayambhunath temple, Kathmandu, Nepal

A golden spire crowning a conical wooded hill, Swayambhunath Stupa is the most ancient and enigmatic of all the holy shrines in Kathmandu valley. Its lofty white dome and glittering golden spire are visible for many miles and from all sides of the valley. Historical records found on a stone inscription give evidence that the stupa was already an important Buddhist pilgrimage destination by the 5th century AD.

Its origins however, date to a much earlier time, long before the arrival of Buddhism into the valley. A collection of legends about the site, the 15th century Swayambhu Purana, tells of a miraculous lotus, planted by a past Buddha, which blossomed from the lake that once covered Kathmandu valley. The lotus mysteriously radiated a brilliant light, and the name of the place came to be Swayambhu, meaning 'Self-Created or Self-Existent'. Saints, sages and divinities traveled to the lake to venerate this miraculous light for its power in granting enlightenment. During this time, the Bodhisatva Manjushri was meditating at the sacred mountain of Wu Tai Shan and had a vision of the dazzling Swayambhu light. Manjushri flew across the mountains of China and Tibet upon his blue lion to worship the lotus. Deeply impressed by the power of the radiant light, Manjushri felt that if the water were drained out of the lake Swayambhu would become more easily accessible to human pilgrims. With a great sword Manjushri cut a gorge in the mountains surrounding the lake. The water, draining away, left the valley of present day Kathmandu. The lotus was then transformed into a hill and the light became the Swayabhunath Stupa.

Mihintale Buddha, Sri Lanka

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/mihintale-buddha-500.jpg

Situated 12 kilometers east of the ruins of the great city of Anuradhapura, the sacred mountain of Mihintale is considered the location where Buddhism was first introduced to the island of Sri Lanka. There are two stories, one historical and one mythological, that explain the arrival of Buddhism at Mihintale. According to historical sources, in the middle of the third century BC the great Indian Emperor Ashoka had sent his son Mahinda to Sri Lanka to spread the teachings of the Buddha. Mahinda and his group of Buddhist monks were camped upon the sides of Mt Mihintale when King Devanampiya Tissa of Anuradhapura encountered them during a royal hunting expedition. Mahinda spoke to the king of Buddhism and recited the Culahastipadopama and other sutras. The date of this meeting between King Devanampiya Tissa and the Buddhist monk is believed to have been on the full moon of June in the year 247 BC. Soon thereafter the king (and 40,000 inhabitants of Anuradhapura) converted to Buddhism. An alternate story of the arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka tells that the Buddha himself journeyed to the island, on the back of the great winged demigod Garuda, but there is no historical evidence that the Buddha himself ever visited the island. Today the peak of Mihintale, approached by a grand stairway of 1840 granite steps, has many temples, lodgings for monks and several splendid statues of the Buddha. Each June on the full moon there is a pilgrimage commemorating the date when Mahinda first preached the Buddhist doctrine in Sri Lanka and many thousands of pilgrims flock from all over Sri Lanka to meditate on the holy peak.

Temple of Tooth Relic (Dalada Maligawa), Sri Lanka

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/toothrelic02.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/toothrelic06.jpg

"Dalada Maligawa" as called by Sri Lankans, is the most venerated Buddhist shrine of the whole island. The temple was originally built by King Vimaladharmasuriya I (1592-1603) in two stories. Nothing remains of the original building built around 1600. During the reign of King Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe (1747-1781) the temple was modified and rebuilt. The temple was badly damaged by a bomb blast in 1998, but much of the damage has since been restored.

The tooth relic:
Legend has it that after the creamation of the Buddha at Kushinagar, the remains, including one of his teeth, were kept in India. During the time Buddhism in India was undergoing much hardship, the tooth was smuggled to Sri Lanka, hidden in the hair of an Orissan princess. First it was taken to the Kingdom of Anuradhapura and later brought to several other kingdoms in Sri Lanka, until it reached its final resting place at the Kandyan kingdom in 1592.

Pha That Luang, Vientiane - Laos

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/pha_that_luang_V_500.jpg

Pha That Luang (The Great Stupa or Sacred Reliquary) is the most significant Laotian religious and national monument. It is situated on a hill about three miles north east of the center of Vientiane.

Legend dates its founding from 3rd century BC Asokan missionaries who erected a shrine here to enclose a breastbone of the Buddha. The earliest physical remains of a religious structure on this site, however, seem to date from a Khmer monastery around the 12th century.

Sacred Sites of Africa (3)

The churches of Lalibela are among the most extraordinary architectural creations of human civilization. Each church is sculpted, both inside and out, directly from the living bedrock of the earth (this type of architecture was not new to the area for there are numerous other examples around Ethiopia dating to earlier periods; the Zagwe constructions, however, took the art form to a new level). There are two basic types at Lalibela: rock-hewn cave churches which are cut inward from more or less vertical cliff faces and rock-hewn monolithic churches which imitate a built-up structure but are actually cut in one piece from the surrounding rock and separated from it by an encircling trench. The probable method of construction was for craftsman to first sink trenches directly into the stone, then to slowly chisel away excess stone to reveal exterior and interior spaces. Narrow, labyrinthine tunnels connect several of the churches, and the walls of the trenches and courtyards contain cavities and chambers filled with mummies of pious monks and pilgrims. The churches are still used for worship today and many are filled with richly painted biblical murals.

The Great Mosque of Djenne (Masjid yang terbuat dari lumpur!) - Mali

The Great Mosque is built on a raised plinth platform of rectangular sun-dried mud bricks that are held together by mud mortar and plastered over with mud. The walls vary in thickness between sixteen and twenty-four inches, depending upon their height. These massive walls are necessary in order to bear the weight of the tall structure and also provide insulation from the sun's heat. During the day, the walls gradually warm up from the outside; at night, they cool down again. This helps the interior of the mosque to stay cool all day long. The Great Mosque also has roof vents with ceramic caps. These caps, made by the town's women, can be removed at night to ventilate the interior spaces.

The Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is considered to be 'The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World'. To this day this medieval artifact resists all efforts at translation. It is either an ingenious hoax or an unbreakable cipher. It is named after its discoverer,the American antique book dealer and collector, Wilfrid M. Voynich, who discovered it in 1912, amongst a collection of ancient manuscripts kept in villa Mondragone in Frascati, near Rome, which had been by then turned into a Jesuit College (closed in 1953).

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/voynich.jpg
Wilfrid M. Voynich

No one knows the origins of the manuscript. Experts believe it is European based on the drawings. They believe it was written in between the 15th and 17th centuries. The manuscript is small, seven by ten inches, but thick, nearly 235 pages.

Based on the evidence of the calligraphy, the drawings, the vellum, and the pigments, Wilfrid Voynich estimated that the Manuscript was created in the late 13th century. The manuscript is small, seven by ten inches, but thick, nearly 235 pages. It is written in an unknown script of which there is no known other instance in the world. It is abundantly illustrated with awkward coloured drawings of:

unidentified plants;
what seems to be herbal recipes;
tiny naked women frolicking in bathtubs connected by intricate plumbing looking more like anatomical parts than hydraulic contraptions;
mysterious charts in which some have seem astronomical objects seen through a telescope, some live cells seen through a microscope;
charts into which you may see a strange calendar of zodiacal signs, populated by tiny naked people in rubbish bins.http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/voynichbathers.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/Voynich2.jpg
Its pages are filled with hand-written text and crudely drawn illustrations. The illustrations depict plants, astrological diagrams, and naked women.
The women could represent creation and rebirth of consciousness.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/voynichscript.gif
These illustrations are strange, but much stranger is the text itself,
because the manuscript is written entirely in a mysterious,
unknown alphabet that has defied all attempts at translation.

Ruins of Holyrood Chapel

http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/walker/collections/19c/graphics/large/daguerre.jpg

Louis Jacques Mand Daguerre is perhaps best known for his contribution to the history of photography. He invented the first photographic process, the daguerrotype in 1839.

Daguerre first became famous for the development of dioramas. These were buildings designed by Daguerre for displaying his and Charles-Marie Bouton's huge paintings. Most of the themes of the paintings were landscapes, chapel interiors and volcanoes. The paintings were executed on thin linen. Often real props were added to enhance spectators' experience. Lighting from the front and the back of the picture was used to suggest gradual passage from day to evening light as well the appearance and disappearance of actors and actresses. When one scene of the play was completed the auditorium was rotated to bring another view or picture on stage. These dioramas were in an early form of cinema and were very popular. The first diorama was opened in Paris in 1822. Its success was such that Daguerre was asked to design another one in London, which opened in Park Square East, Regent's Park in 1823.

'The Ruins of Holyrood Chapel' relates to the painting with the same title, which Daguerre exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1824. The only difference between the two was that the Paris Salon work included the figure of a comtess, who was visiting the tomb of her former friend, the Duchesse de Grammont. She died in exile at Holyrood in 1803 and was buried in the royal vault in the south-east corner of Holyrood Chapel. Daguerre exhibited dioramas of the same subject in Paris from 1823 until 1824, in London from March 1825 and in Liverpool from 1825 until 1827. There is no record of Daguerre's visit to the Chapel although the view by moonlight of the Holyrood Chapel was famous.

Being Bitten on the Hand That Supports Evil

On 11 September 2001, the United States suffered a tremendous loss from a coordinated terrorist attack. More than five thousand people lost their lives in the crash of four commercial airplanes: two into the World Trade Center, one into The Pentagon, and one into a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. As we reach out in prayer and comfort to the injured and to families and friends of the victims of these evil acts, let us also reach out with a repentant heart for what we have done that led up to this tragedy. We're not saying that we're totally responsible, but neither are we innocent by-standers.

Based upon the early investigations, the mastermind behind this attack was Osama Bin Laden and the terrorist organizations he heads and sponsors. Years ago when Bin Laden was fighting the Russians in Afghanistan, the United States supported him. He didn't only just become evil, that was his nature then, too. Our fear and hatred of Communism was seen as a greater threat than the evil of an Osama Bin Laden; thus, we supported one evil against another, and for the most part, the Church was strangely silent.

After the U. S. Embassy in Iran was captured, we placed Iran on our "hate list", and supported Saddam Hussein in Iraq's war against Iran. We seemed to forget that the Bible teaches us:

"But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." (Luke 6:27-28)

"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." (Luke 6:35-36)

For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge His people." It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:30-31)

In the process of supporting Iraq, we helped build up the military strength of Iraq under the evil dictatorial direction of Hussein, who used his newfound power to attack Kuwait. We knew Saddam Hussein was evil when we first began to support him, but our desire for revenge against Iran was of more importance. We didn't seem to want to remember that Jesus tells us, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." (Matthew 5:9). So again, most churches kept silent!

Then in order to counter the evil that we had helped put in place, we and our allies began a retaliatory war against Iraq. This required our presence in Saudi Arabia. This presence turned the wrath of Osama Bin Laden against the United States, because Bin Laden considered our presence as contaminating Islamic holy ground, and a series of terrorist attacks began against the United States and its citizens. The hand that had supported evil was now being bitten.

A few in the churches spoke out against the war with Iraq, but very few spoke out against our support of evil. For the most part, the churches supported what we were doing. In God's realm there is no place for evil, and as God's ambassadors, we are to support that position through peaceful means. Jesus tells us, "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48) We followed the popular route rather than the perfect one.

In recent days, we have heard our government leaders once again speak of war in retaliation for this recent terrorism. These leaders have even suggested that we again "hire" evil people (as informants, for example) to help us fight against the "greater" evil. The cycle continues! Righteousness should stand against evil, but evil only produces more evil and violence only produces more violence, as we should very well know; but we seem to be closing our ears and eyes to what is going on. And even the Church is acting ungodly. Many of our church leaders are supporting the Government's policy, even though we know that Jesus called upon us to be the peacemakers of this world (Matthew 5:9).

Perhaps we need to remember what happened when Jesus was taken prisoner:

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest, and cut off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword." (Matthew 26:51-52)

And we are told that Jesus even restored the ear of the slave of the high priest (Luke 22:51).

It's time for us to open our eyes and ears to what is going on around us, and begin to see the truth of God's Word and speak out against all evil as God's true peacemakers.

The intent of this series is to wake up and encourage the Church to greater works of love and compassion (John 14:12). It is not to condemn the Church, in general, or any individual, any more than Jesus condemned the woman caught in adultery. Jesus said to her, "...go your way. From now on sin no more." (John 8:11) And this is our message to the Church: Recognize our sins of the past and go forth seeking to be perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48), correcting the sins of the past, for that is the only way we can truly show the world that we love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, might, and mind, including the whole of creation, which includes our neighbors whom we are to love as ourselves

The Bird

A small wooden artifact was found in the excavations around the step pyramid of Saqqara in 1898 by the French archaeologist Lauret. This piece was registered in the archives of the Egyptian museum of Antiquities in Cairo as a "Statuette of a bird". It was placed in the bird section of the museum under the number 6347, and a little more was thought of it for 70 years.

The Egyptian Physician, artist and aeromodeller Dr.Khalil Messiha rediscovered the same artifact in the year 1969 in the museum. Dr. Khalil found that this model differs considerably from other birds models in that it was legless and had a straight tail and wings.Dr. Khalil made a balsa wood model with the same measurements as the Pa-Di-Imen artifact and added a stabilizer to the tail. the model was pushed by hand and flew a few yards. Some call it a bird,... but no birds with vertical tails were ever seen in Egypt on the middle East.

kan bisa aja ada orang mesir yang keluar ke benua lain liad burung with vertical tail donk??

Facts surrounding the "Amityville Horror House"

The Amityville Horror has turned from a real suburban American tragedy into a horrific myth. It has become the source of bestselling novels and the subject of several movies.

These are some of the facts as they are known.

On November 13, 1974, in the house at 112 Ocean Ave., Amityville, 24-year-old Ronald DeFeo murdered his family. DeFeo used a high-powered rifle, shot to death his father, mother, two brothers and two sisters. All six members of Ronald DeFeo’s family were killed as they slept and all, said police, were found lying in the same position, on their stomachs with their heads resting on their arms.

At his murder trial, Ronald DeFeo testified that he had killed his family because he had heard voices. "Whenever I looked around, there was no one there, so it must have been God talking to me," he said.

On December 18, 1975, more than a year after the terrible murders, a family of five moved in. They were George and Kathy Lutz and their children Daniel, 9, Christopher, 7 and Missy 5. Twenty eight days later the family fled the house, claiming it was haunted.

According to the Lutzes and their priest, the following events took place during the 28 days the Lutzes lived at 112 Ocean Avenue:

•While the priest was blessing the house as the family move in, a strange masculine voice clearly said to him "Get out!" As he drove back to the rectory, the hood of the priest’s car flew open, smashing against his windshield. One of the welded hinges tore loose. The right door flew open. The car stalled. The priest summoned a friend for help and later the friend called the priest and said, "Do you know what happened to me after I dropped you off? The windshield wipers, they began to fly back and forth like crazy! I couldn’t stop! I never turn them on! What the hell is going on?"

•In the house windows flew up and down and doors were repeatedly ripped off their hinges in the house even though they were securely locked.

•Mrs. Lutz levitated a foot above her bed on several occasions and floated toward an open window. On one of the occasions, when her husband pulled her back, her 30-year-old face had been transformed into the face of a 90-year-old woman - "the hair wild, a shocking white, the face a mass of wrinkles and ugly lines and saliva dripping from the toothless mouth."

•In the dead of winter, hundreds of buzzing flies materialized in one of the upstairs rooms of the house.

•A 12-inch crucifix hung in a closet by Mrs. Lutz revolved until it was upside down and gave off a sour smell.

•The insides of the toilet bowls in two upstairs bathrooms turned absolutely black, "as though someone has painted (them) from the bottom to the edge just below the rim" even though Mrs. Lutz had recently scrubbed both bowls with Clorox.

•Lutz discovered a small secret room in the basement, a room that appeared in no blueprints of the house. It was painted solid red - and had the smell of blood. In one of the red walls, Lutz saw a vision of a face - a face that he would later find from newspaper photographs was that of Ronald DeFeo.

•Every time the family priest would attempt to help the Lutzes, bleeding blisters would erupt on his hands. Telephone calls between the Lutzes and the priest were continually interrupted or cut off by loud noises and eerie sounds, making it impossible for them to communicate.

•While standing outside the house one night, Lutz saw the face of a pig with glowing red eyes in the window of his daughter, Missy. Missy began to continually talk of "my friend Jodie, the biggest pig you ever saw." One night Missy pointed toward her window and there were the two red eyes again. "That’s Jodie," Missy said. "He wants to come in." Mrs. Lutz swung a chair at the window, breaking it and "there was an animal cry of pain, a loud squealing."

•The flowing red eyes again appeared at a downstairs window. When Lutz ran outside, there were tracks in the snow - "No man or woman had made those tracks. The prints had been left by cloven hooves, like those of an enormous pig."

•A bartender who had worked at a party in the house at 112 Ocean Avenue when the DeFeos had lived there told Lutz that he had found the secret red room in the basement and that after seeing it, "I used to have nightmares about it. Sometimes I’d dream that people - I don’t know who they were - were killing dogs and pigs in there and using their blood for some kind of ceremony."

•Mrs. Lutz continued to feel invisible hands gripping her and one day found flaming red welts covering her body, "as though she had been burned by a hot poker."

•Green gelatinous slime began to ooze from the ceiling and from door openings.

•A white-hooded figure, its face half-blasted away as if by a gun, appeared in the living room fireplace and was permanently burned into the fireplace wall.

Today, the home is occupied by a family that is living there in peace. The front of the home, as well as its number on Ocean Avenue, have been changed and despite the regular visits by the curious and believers in the supernatural, life along Ocean Avenue in Amityville is fairly routine. Sometimes a car will pull up in the middle of the night. A passenger will get out and cut away a piece of grass from the home. Sometimes another car will pass in the middle of a hot, summer afternoon, stop and the occupants will stare. Sometimes a deranged individual may even try to break into the home. But mostly, it is just another house in Amityville with nothing more than a horrific history.

Mysterious Ghost Ships (1)

Queen Mary

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_queen_mary_01-331x241.jpg

The Queen Mary is an ocean liner that sailed the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967. The QM sailed her maiden voyage from Southampton, England on May 27th, 1936. During WWII, she was converted into a troop ship to carry Australian and New Zealand soldiers to the United Kingdom. The Queen Mary was painted grey and called, "The Grey Ghost."

After the Queen Mary's retirement in 1967, she was moored in Long Beach, California, where she is now permanently docked as a tourist attraction. The Queen Mary is said to have ghosts on board with many areas are said to be haunted. The engine room is said to be haunted by a man crushed by a door during a fire drill. The first class swimming pool has had numerous sightings of people in period bathing suits, while sounds of water splashing have also been heard. The Queen Mary's third class children's playroom is said to be haunted by the cry of an infant who died on board, while the Queen's salon has had various sightings of a woman dancing in a white evening gown. Some of the first class suites have
had supernatural occurrences, as well. Reports of a man appearing in a mirror, running water, tugging of bed covers, phones ringing in the middle of the night and lights turning on and off have been on-going for years

Mary Celeste


http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/mary_celeste_ghost_ship_001.jpg

Mary Celeste was an abandoned ghost ship found off the coast of Spain in 1872. The final fate of the Mary Celeste is open to speculation; theories range from alcoholic fumes to the strange case described in the Abel Fosdyk papers. The case of the Mary Celeste is often described as the archetypal example of a ghost ship.

None of the Mary Celeste's crew or passengers was ever found. Their fate may never be known; see the section below for speculation. In early 1873 it was reported that two lifeboats were grounded in Spain, one containing a body and an American flag, the other containing five bodies. It has been alleged that these could have been the remains of the crew of the Mary Celeste. This has not been confirmed as the identities of the bodies were apparently never investigated.

Ourang Medan

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_ourang_medan-310x224.jpg

ini kapal Belanda yang namanya berbau-bau Indonesia. Kisahnya mengerikan juga:

Shortly after World War II in 1948, several ships responded to SOS and Morse Code distress calls from the Dutch freighter, Ourang Medan. "All officers including captain dead, lying in chartroom and on the bridge, probably whole crew dead..." was deciphered from the code, along with the final message, "I die." Rescuers found the ghost ship Ourang Medan drifting in waters near Indonesia.

The entire crew including the Ourang Medan's dog were found in terrifying positions, "teeth bared, with their upturned faces to the sun, staring as if in fear..." What did the crew see that frightened them so? Many have proposed a UFO killed them, or that ghosts came from the sky.

Following this grim discovery, a fire occurred in the ship's hold and forced rescue parties to leave the ship. This proved to be good, because the Ourang Medan soon exploded violently, lifting the ship upward and sinking it before their eyes. This only added to the ghost ship's legend, as it made it impossible to conclude what really took place aboard the fated freight liner. Some believe the ship illegally carried harmful chemicals or chemical weapons being black marketed after WWII. Could these illegal chemicals have mixed producing deadly gases? Or, did chemical weapons seep out and destroy all on board? We'll never know..

MV Joyita

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_mv_joyita-243x162.jpg
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_joyita-235x162.jpg
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_mv_joyita_001-151x163.jpg

The MV Joyita was a wooden ship built in 1931 as a luxury yacht. It was commissioned by the US Navy as a patrol boat during WWII, serving in the South Pacific.

On October 3, 1955, the Joyita left Samoa for the Tokelau Islands. The Joyita was carrying cargo of medical supplies, lumber and foods, along with 9 passengers and 16 crew. She never reached port, so a search crew covered 100,00 square miles in search of the Joyita to no avail.

The Joyita was found on November 10th, 600 miles away from her planned route. No trace of the cargo, crew or passengers were ever found on the partially submerged vessel. The ghost ship's radio was tuned to the international marine distress channel.

It has been theorized in books that the Joyita most likely was attacked by pirates or Japanese fishing boats possibly conducting illegal activity. If so, the crew and passengers
were murdered and the cargo stolen.

The Flying Dutchman

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_the_flying_dutchman.jpg

According to fictional accounts, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that can never go home, but must sail the sea forever. If she is stopped by another ship at sea, her crew of the dead will try to send messages to people ashore (who are long since dead).

In most versions of the story, the captain swore that he would not stop sailing in the face of a storm, but would continue to round the Cape of Good Hope until Judgment Day. In other versions, a horrible crime took place on the Flying Dutchman, and the crew was infected
with a plague or curse, and not allowed to sail into any port forever. From afar, the Flying Dutchman is usually described as having a glowing ghost light to it.

There have been many stories about the Flying Dutchman, but its origin is uncertain, as some believe it to be Dutch, while others say it came from an English play of the same name. Recently, the Flying Dutchman was used in the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean.

Jian Seng

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ships_jian_seng.jpg

An abandoned tanker, the Jian Seng was found in 2006 by an Australian coast watch airplane in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The Australian customs vessel Storm was dispatched at night.

The following morning, a small boat was launched to board the drifting Jian Seng. No one was found on board. Its point of origin unknown, documents recovered later indicated it was the Jian Seng; but the ship's name had been painted over.

The Jian Seng had a large supply of rice in its cargo hold, used to possibly re-supply fishing vessels out at sea. Its engines, however, were inoperable and Australian officials concluded it had been adrift for some time. As the Jian Seng had been stripped of anything of value, it
was surmised that it perhaps broke loose from being towed to a ship scrap yard.

The Jian Seng was later towed to deep waters and sunk as an artificial reef, because its owner was never located.

Kaz II

Ini ghost ship yang paling baru ;D

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/250px-Kaz_II.jpg

The Kaz II, dubbed "the ghost yacht", is a 12 meter catamaran which was found drifting 80 nautical miles (160 km) off of the coast of north Australia on April 18, 2007. The fate of its crew remains unknown, and the circumstances in which they disappeared are mysterious and have been compared to that of the Mary Celeste.

The Baychimo

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ghost_ship_baychimo.gif

A cargo steamer was built in Sweden, in 1914 for Hudson's Bay Company. The Baychimo was used for trading pelts for provisions from the Inuit people along the Victoria Island Coast of the Northwest Territory - where it became a ghost ship of note.

Heading home with a cargo load of fur in October of 1931, The Baychimo became trapped in ice. The ship was briefly abandoned, but it broke free from the ice and was re-boarded by its crew. The Baychimo became stuck in ice again a few days later, and most of the crew were airlifted to safety. Only fifteen crew remained, awaiting the ship to break free
from the ice. As they stayed in a nearby wooden shelter, a blizzard struck and the ship disappeared in the storm. The crew concluded that the Baychimo must have sunk somehow during the storm.

The Baychimo was seen a few days later, 45 miles away, and was tracked down. The cargo was removed, and the ship again was abandoned due to its "un-sea-worthiness."

The Baychimo continued to float on the sea on its own for 38 years, and was seen many times. Several times it was boarded, but either bad weather or the lack of necessary equipment to salvage the Baychimo, kept it a ghost ship. The Baychimo was last seen stuck in the ice of Beaufort Sea in 1969, and has not been seen since. Baychimo's ultimate fate is unknown. She is presumed sunk.

SS Watertown

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ss_watertown_ship_32-264x185.jpg

In December of 1924, an oil tanker named the S.S. Watertown sailed from California toward the Panama Canal in route to New Orleans. While they
were sailing, James Courtney and Michael Meehan, crew members of the vessel, were cleaning a cargo tank in the ship’s hold. In a freak accident, the two men were overcome by gas and oil fumes and died. On December 4, as was the custom of the time, the sailors were buried at sea off the Mexican coast.

This was not the last that the remaining crew members were to see of their dead shipmates. The next day, “before dusk, the first mate reported seeing the faces of the two men in the waves off the port side of the ship. They remained in the water for about 10 seconds, and then faded.” For several days thereafter, the “phantom-like” faces of the sailors were clearly seen by other members of the crew in the sea foam created by the
ship as it sailed.

On arrival in New Orleans, the ship's captain, Keith Tracy, reported the strange events to his employers at the Cities Service Company. It was suggested that he try to photograph the “eerie” faces if they appeared again. Captain Tracy purchased a camera before the next voyage. When the faces appeared in the water again, Captain Tracy took six photos,
and then locked the camera and film in the ship's safe. The crew reported seeing the faces of the deceased seaman several more times, but their appearance became less and less frequent.

ss watertown famous ghost picture

The SS Watertown departed and continued its scheduled voyage to New York City. When the film was processed in New York, five of the exposures showed nothing but sea foam. The sixth one showed the ghostly faces of the doomed seamen. The negative was checked for fakery by the Burns Detective Agency, which found no sign of tampering. After a third voyage, the ship's crew was changed and there were no more reports of sightings
of the ghastly duo.

The story of the entire event didn’t appear until ten years later, after it was found in the journal of the shipping company. The negative of the photograph being lost by the passage of time, made it impossible to re-verify the image as authentic. Was this just a figment of some superstitious sailor's imagination? Was this some cruel joke? Is it possible that the sightings were induced by mass hysteria? Was the sighting of the ghostly pair just an optical illusion? Many individuals in the search of paranormal ghost phenomenon are reporting to have similar experiences. Evidence may be mounting?

Leap castle


http://www.simonmarsden.co.uk/images/MA-C-704-lge.jpg

Known universally as the most haunted castle in all Ireland, Leap Castle is without a shadow of doubt the most sinister and frightening building I have ever photographed. Once the principal seat of the powerful and warlike O'Carrolls, Princes of Ely, it stands on a vast, ancient rock guarding a strategic pass through the wild Slieve Bloom mountains. My first visit was for a book that I was compiling called In Ruins - The Once Great Houses of Ireland, and I can distinctly remember my initial feelings of fear and fascination; nowhere before had ever held so many suggestions of the supernatural.

The O'Carrolls were the last sept to surrender to the British in the seventeenth century and their fearsome reputation has left behind a legacy of intrigue and murder as brother fought brother for control of their empire. Local people are still in awe of the castle and are fearful of the many ghosts that are still said to haunt this ruin. Above the main hall of the great fourteenth-century tower is what is known as the 'Bloody Chapel' where 'one-eyed' Teige O'Carroll slew his brother at the altar and, late at night, passers-by on the main road have seen a window of the room suddenly illuminated by a strange light. In one corner of this chamber was a spiked oubliette, a secret dungeon into which unsuspecting prisoners were thrown down through a trap door and conveniently forgotten. It is said that three cartloads of bones were extracted from here after the house was destroyed by fire in 1922. Below the keep, it's said, stretches a network of deep dungeons hewn into the rock, containing bricked-up passages and secret chambers. Several human skeletons and spearheads were found here too. It is interesting to note that the last owners of the house before the fire, who added the Gothic wings, were said to have been unaware of the existence of these cavernous tombs.

During the period of the Darby's residence overnight guests frequently experienced the terrifying spectre of a tall female figure, dressed in what seemed to be a red gown, with her right hand raised menacingly above her head, seemingly illumined from within. The unfortunate visitor always awoke suddenly in the middle of the night, prior to this nightmarish vision, with an extraordinary and violent cold feeling in the region of their heart. Whether this ghost is connected with the murder of a princess of the royal O'Carroll household many centuries ago is not known, but this State Bedroom was always shunned by the Darby's servants. The strangest and most demonic spectre in the castle is a foul smelling elemental, half-human, half-beast, that haunts the tower stair and is believed to be the embodiment of all the horrific and evil deeds that have taken place here.

The Darby family obtained the estate when Jonathan Darby married the daughter of an O'Carroll chieftain in the seventeenth century. A staunch Royalist, he was known as the 'Wild Captain', and legend says that he hid a fabulous hoard of treasure in the castle with the help of two servants, who he then murdered, before being imprisoned for treason. When he was released many years later his mind was so deranged that he couldn't remember where he had hidden the hoard, and the mystery remains to the present day.

Lord Rosse, who lives at nearby Birr Castle, built by his ancestors on the site of another former O'Carroll stronghold, told me that he had always been, and still is, frightened by Leap. He said that his father had told him that as a child he would sometimes go to tea there with his governess and that, because of persistent rumours of several skeletons being bricked up behind the wall in one room, the then Lord Darby became enraged by what he considered to be idle gossip and had the wall dismantled, where, to his horror, three upright skeletons were found. He immediately had them bricked up again, saying that if one of his ancestors had killed them then it must have been for a good reason. Lady Rosse, an eminent archaeologist, believes that the castle is situated on a ley line and that the powerful forces these ancient alignments generate can be influenced by both good and evil, unfortunately in this case the latter. She added that she had been present at a recent exorcism attempt by a Mexican medium at the castle, but had found the experience unnerving.

I then visited Peter and Mide Gerrard who had owned the castle from 1973 to 1975. They told me that, after being burnt in 1922 by the IRA while the Darbys were living in England, a mob had ransacked the mansion and macabrely hung the tame peacocks from meat hooks on the tower. The Darbys then gave the castle to an old lady, a family retainer, who later died of a gangrenous leg. After it changed hands once more they had purchased it as an investment. Peter Gerrard told me his mother had been a friend of Cicely O'Carroll-Darby, and she had been invited to spend a night at the castle for a dance. She told him afterwards that she hadn't slept well and continually felt that someone or something was hovering over the end of her bed. He added that he thought the whole area around Leap was evil and that nothing good had befallen anyone who had owned it. He then said that he hoped he had escaped this curse because he had lost money when he sold it - we all laughed nervously.

The next owner, Peter Bartlett, was an Australian and an O'Bannon. His clan had held the castle before the O'Carrolls, but were secondary chieftains to them. I had dinner with him one night in the summer of 1988 and noticed that his tenancy at the castle was exerting both a mental and physical drain on his resources. He told me that many extraordinary poltergeist phenomena had taken place when he began to renovate the building and he was inclined to support Lady Rosse's theory of the overwhelming powers of the rock. He believed that we are living in an age when the ghosts of all the dead and departed are crying out to warn us not to abuse nature and its abundance. Peter died tragically the following year and the castle is now in the hands of a trust. Lady Rosse told me that she was keen to rid the castle of its ghostly reputation, but I wonder what powerful magic can cleanse this dark fortress of its fiendish past: to me, these supernatural powers are best left alone.

TOP 10 MOST SCARIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD

1.Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp, Oswiecim, Poland.


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/auschwitz.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Birkenau.jpg

Auschwitz death camp was in operation from May 1940 until its liberation by Soviet forces in January 1945. It is estimated that 2.1 to 2.5 million people were killed in the gas chambers during that time, of whom 2 million were Jews and the remainder were Poles, Gypsies and Soviet POWs. But this estimate is considered by historians to be strictly a minimum, because the total number of deaths at Auschwitz and its sister camp Birkenau can never really be known.

Anyone who has visited Auschwitz-Birkenau is struck by the overwhelming sense of melancholy and foreboding; visitors have been known to break down in tears for no apparent reason and many have to abandon their tour groups without ever completing the tour. Visitors are struck not only by the horrific memory of the place, but also by the effect it has on the present day: birds still refuse to sing in the trees surrounding the death camps and there is little evidence of a thriving natural environment anywhere nearby. The silence, as they saw, is deafening, even after all these years.

People have reported cold spots and areas of intense emotional concentration. Photographs over the years have revealed the presence of spirit manifestations in the form of misty apparitions, shadows, light anomalies and orbs. Given its history and the imprint of horror it leaves on the modern mind, Auschwitz-Birkenau is the most haunted place on earth.



2.Whitechapel/Spittalfields, London East End, London, England.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Gunthorpe-street.jpg

In 1888 the Whitechapel area of London was the scene of some of the most brutal murders ever recorded: the famous Jack the Ripper crimes. Yet the murders – and the identity of Jack – remain unsolved, even today. Many assert that the killer was a doctor or was somehow connected to the medical profession; others believe the killer to have been Queen Victoria’s grandson, Prince Albert Victor, though nothing substantial has ever arisen to support the theory.

Today visitors to London’s East End can walk the streets that Jack prowled and visit pubs and other locations he may have haunted in life – and death. Walking tours of the area are very popular and although Jack’s legacy is certainly the most enduring, other ghosts that haunt the East End are those of Jack’s victims, in various stages of mutilation; a ghostly band of Roman soldiers; a murderous sea captain’s ghost that haunts a local pub; and a mysterious black carriage drawn by ghastly white horses that approaches without a sound and disappears right before your eyes. These and other haunts, combined with the long haunted history of the East End make it one of the must visit ghostly locations in the world.



3.Underground Vaults, Edinburgh, Scotland.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Edinburgh-vaults.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/edinburgh_castle.jpg

Far below the busy streets of modern Edinburgh lies a dark, forgotten corner of history. Discovered in the mid-1980’s, the Edinburgh Vaults had been abandoned for nearly two hundred years. Lying beneath the South Bridge, a major Edinburgh passage, the rooms were used as cellars, workshops and even as residences by the businesses that plied their trade on the busy bridge above. Abandoned soon after they were built due to excessive water and moisture, the vaults remain, unaltered, never illuminated by the light of day.

4.Greyfriar’s Kirk Cemetery / Covenanter’s Prison, Edinburgh, Scotland.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Greyfriar%27s-Kirk-Cemetery.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Covenanter%27s-Prison-edinbur.jpg

Greyfriar’s Cemetery has been considered haunted for generations. Its history is filled with the horrific, from deliberate headstone removal and desecration, bodysnatching and live burial, to witch burnings and use as a mass prison. Around 1998, however, a new and inexplicable phenomenon began occurring in the graveyard where visitors claimed to have encountered cold spots, nauseating smells, loud noises coming from empty tombs, and even physical injury. Many visitors and tour guides have been the victim of attack by unseen entities who leave bruises, cuts, and scratches on the unwary. People were routinely knocked unconscious and overcome by debilitating nausea and vomiting. Homes near the graveyard became plagued by poltergeist activities such as smashed china and glassware, moving objects, shadowy figures, and menacing, guttural laughter.

menurut gw, ini yg plg serem ::jinjit::

5.Coliseum, Rome, Italy.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Coliseum-Rome-Italy.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Coliseum-Rome.jpg

At the height of Rome’s power the Coliseum represented everything that was Imperial to the citizens of Rome. Gladiators would fight to the death here for the amusement of Caesar and the mobs; thousands of prisoners of war and victims of religious persecution met their end in the jaws of lions and tigers in the sandy arena of the Coliseum; and even those animals were decimated, for in its time the Coliseum consumed tens of thousands of animals, some reportedly driven into extinction by the Roman lust for blood and gore.

Tour guides and visitors alike have reported cold spots, being touched or pushed, hearing indiscernible words whispered into their ears; security guards with the unenviable task of securing the ancient edifice have reported hearing the sounds of swords clashing, of weeping in the more remote areas, and, oddly enough most disconcerting, the sound of ghostly animal noises such as the roars of lions and elephants. Ghostly citizens have been seen among the seats of the Coliseum, and the sight of a Roman soldier standing guard, silhouetted against the night sky, is a common one.



6.Walachia, Transylvania, Land of Dracul, Romania.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/hunedoara-castle.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/REAL-DRACULA-CASTLE.jpg

........

7.Unit 731 Experimentation Camp, Harbin, Manchuria, China.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Harbin-unit-731.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Unit_731.jpg

“It is called the Asian Auschwitz and, in terms of inhumanity and horror, it certainly warrants this description. Yet there remains a fundamental difference with the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis against Jews: While Germany has shown deep contrition and remorse, the leaders the country that spawned the evil of Unit 731 still struggle to come to grips with what occurred . . . In the end at least 3,000 prisoners, mainly Chinese, were killed directly, with a further 250,000 Chinese left to die through the biological warfare experiments.”

The Chinese government sanctioned the Unit and the surrounding area as a learning center for future generations of Chinese, and just recently visitors from the West have been allowed access to the killing fields at Harbin. But for many years there have been reports of paranormal activity associated with the old charnel houses: ghost lights and apparitions are frequently seen, including a ghostly figure that walks the empty precincts surrounding the frostbite units. Ghostly voices have been heard and anomalies frequently appear in photographs taken in the area. Recently, during the filming of a BBC television documentary, the English film crew experienced unexplainable problems with their lights and batteries – often a sure sign of ghostly activity. Many speculate that as the story of Unit 731 is more widely told, the ghosts of those tragically tormented and murdered there are becoming more and more active, and more anxious for justice than ever before.


8.Palmyra Island Atoll, Pacific Ocean.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/palmyra-island-atoll.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Palmyra-atolla.jpg

Many claim that there is a “malevolent aura” surrounding Palmyra, such as Richard Taylor, a yachtsman who gave testimony at the sensational murder trial:

“I had a foreboding feeling about the island. It was more than just the fact that it was a ghost-type island; it was more than that. It seemed to be an unfriendly place to be. I’ve been on a number of atolls, but Palmyra was different. I can’t put my finger on specifically why, but it was not an island that I enjoyed being on. I think other people have had difficulties on that island.”

Legends of the island appearing out of nowhere and nearly grounding vessels are intermingled with tales of buried pirate gold; even in modern times, in addition to the grisly murder of the 1970’s, there have been bizarre and deadly occurrences. Many of these tales include the crashes and unexplained disappearances of US fighter planes during the war – a history similar to the Bermuda Triangle legacy. But where Bermuda is inhabitable and has some redeeming attractions, there is nothing to redeem Palmyra Island, at least in the minds of those who have experienced it. Truly, as one man said, “only H.P. Lovecraft could have invented this place.”

9.Catacombs, Paris, France.

10.Magh Sleacht Plain, near Ballyconnell, County Cavan, Ireland.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/cavan.jpg


http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Carin-tombs.jpg

In ancient days Magh Sleacht, which means “Plain of Adoration,” was the location of a mighty stone, covered all in hammered gold, which was the stone image of Crom Cruach. In those days, he was surrounded by twelve smaller stones, gods in ready attendance on the whims of the mighty Old One. Here parents came to sacrifice one third of their children to Crom on Samhain night (October 31st) in exchange for a year full of milk, corn, healthy cattle and a fertile growing season. The god horrified many because of his terrible demands and it was dangerous to worship him because worshippers themselves often died in the orgiastic bloodbath that he required.

The worship of Crom Cruach is said to have been demanded by King Tigernmas whom some describe as a Roman Chieftain, while others claim he was one of the last of the Formorian Kings. Still others believe Crom to be the manifestation of Moloch, the ancient god of the idolatrous Hebrews to whom they sacrificed half their newborn children in a trial by fire. The similarities do not end there. King Tigernmas himself died in worship of the Bloody Bent One, killed by rabid followers in an orgy of blood.

Visitors to the plain of Magh Sleacht report strange occurrences including the sound of chanting and the smell of burning meat or flesh; others have photographed shadowy shapes that linger about the rocks near sunset; still others claim to have seen ghostly apparitions on the plain in the light of day.

Bamiyan Destruction by Taliban

Bung RC, hari minggu kemarin tgl 6 Juni, saya kebetulan nonton acara di Metro TV mengenai Hidden Buddha produksi National Geographic yang di Afghanistan. Patut disayangkan, peninggalan arkeologi tsb dihancurkan. Para arkeolog Afghan pun sampe nangis2. Ternyata yg memasang bom2 tsb adalah penduduk sekitar Bamiyan di bawah ancaman todongan senjata2 Taliban. Tapi yang paling menarik adalah ditemukan sebuah catatan perjalanan seorang Bhiksu Tibet. Dlm catatan tsb, sang pengelana ini mencatat ada 3 patung Buddha raksasa. 2 diantaranya spt yg kita ketahui sdh dihancurkan Taliban, tetapi masih tersisa 1 patung Buddha sedang tiduran. Dan patung inilah yang terbesar diantara ketiganya. Kalau patung ini di berdirikan tingginya mencapai Menara Eiffel, sampai saat ini msh blm ditemukan.

Thanks

2.Whitechapel/Spittalfields, London East End, London, England.

http://www.hauntedamericatours.com/toptenhaunted/hauntedworld/images/Gunthorpe-street.jpg

In 1888 the Whitechapel area of London was the scene of some of the most brutal murders ever recorded: the famous Jack the Ripper crimes. Yet the murders – and the identity of Jack – remain unsolved, even today. Many assert that the killer was a doctor or was somehow connected to the medical profession; others believe the killer to have been Queen Victoria’s grandson, Prince Albert Victor, though nothing substantial has ever arisen to support the theory.

Today visitors to London’s East End can walk the streets that Jack prowled and visit pubs and other locations he may have haunted in life – and death. Walking tours of the area are very popular and although Jack’s legacy is certainly the most enduring, other ghosts that haunt the East End are those of Jack’s victims, in various stages of mutilation; a ghostly band of Roman soldiers; a murderous sea captain’s ghost that haunts a local pub; and a mysterious black carriage drawn by ghastly white horses that approaches without a sound and disappears right before your eyes. These and other haunts, combined with the long haunted history of the East End make it one of the must visit ghostly locations in the world.

Part 1 : Tholos Temple

http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/greece/images/delphi-500.jpg

The Tholos temple, Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, Delphi, Greece

One hundred miles northwest of Athens, soaring high above the Gulf of Corinth, stands the holy mountain called Parnassus. Nestled amidst the pine forested slopes and rocky crags of the sacred peak are the beautiful and exceptionally well-preserved ruins of Delphi. A city of wondrous artistic achievements and grand athletic spectacles during the flowering of Greek culture in the first millennium BC, Delphi is best known, however, as the supreme oracle site of the ancient Mediterranean world.

According to the earliest legends the site was originally a sacred place of the earth goddess Gaia (also called Ge) and was guarded by her daughter, the serpent Python. Later legends state that the site was the center of the world as determined by the god Zeus. Two eagles (or ravens) had been released by Zeus from opposite ends of the earth and following great flights across the skies they finally met at Delphi. A still later legend relates that Apollo, the son of Zeus, came from his home atop Mt. Olympus to Mt. Parnassus to slay the great serpent Python. Fleeing from the peak, Python sought safety in the sanctuary of the Earth Mother at Delphi. Apollo relentlessly pursued Python, however, and claimed the site. Later repenting of his crime, Apollo purified himself (on the island of Crete) and, returning to Delphi, persuaded Pan (the goat-god of wild places and evocative music) to reveal to him the art of prophecy. Upon the site of his battle, Apollo erected his own oracular temple (orienting its axis to align with midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset) and, at the exact place where he had 'speared' the serpent, an omphalos stone was set in the ground.

This omphalos stone (meaning 'center of the earth' to the ancient Greeks) later became the center of the inner sanctum of the shrine of the Delphic oracle. The site was originally called Pytho, after the guardian serpent. It was renamed Delphi after the dolphin (delphis in Greek), whose form Apollo took in order to bring Cretan sailors to Delphi so that they might become priests in his new temple. Regarding the omphalos, one legend tells that the original stone, now lost, was a large meteorite fallen from the sky in deepest antiquity, while another legend says it was the first physical object to emerge on dry land after the waters of the Deluge had settled. The omphalos stone currently on display in the Delphi museum, while very old and indeed from Delphi, is thus not the original sacred stone. It is interesting to inspect this exhibited stone however, for its conical form and sculptural designs derive from the old pillar and tree worship of the prehistoric goddess cults.

Archaeologically (as contrasted to the mythological discussion above) we know but little about the early beginnings of Delphi. Excavations have revealed the site was a Mycenean village from 1500 to 1100 BC, during which time the primary religious emphasis was on an oracular cult of the Earth Goddess. Around 1000 BC the worship of Apollo became dominant when this new god was introduced by either the Dorians or other people from the northern region of Greece. The oracular use of the site continued during Apollo's occupation and, through the endeavors of politically astute priests, Delphi achieved Panhellenic fame as a major oracle shrine by the 7th century BC.

Women, who were considered more sensitive than men to the oracular powers of the site, would first bathe in the waters of the nearby sacred Castalian spring (said to have been created when the winged-horse Pegasus struck the ground with his hoof, and to be favored by the Muses). Next they would drink from the sacred Kassotis spring, inhale the fumes of burning laurel leaves and finally, sitting in meditation near the omphalos stone, would enter into a visionary trance state. Many archaic accounts of Delphi relate that the oracular priestesses, known as Pythia, sat upon a tripod-legged chair situated over a fissure in the earth from which emanated trance-inducing vapors. Plutarch (46 - 120 AD), a Greek philosopher who served as a priest at Delphi, and Strabo (64 BC – 25AD), an ancient geographer, each told of geologic fumes, known as pneuma, which caused the visionary trance states. Plutarch also commented that the gases had a sweet smell and that the oracular priestesses, after inhaling the gases, often behaved like runners after a race or dancers after ecstatic dancing. A traveler in the generation after Plutarch noted that the Kassotis spring, on the slope above the temple, disappeared underground and then emerged again in the adyton, this being the room inside the temple of Apollo where the oracular priestesses sat. It is interesting to note that the word pneuma, meaning gas, vapor and breath, gave rise to the English words pneumonia and pneumatic.

Until recently this matter was considered to be a fabrication from post-Delphic times. French archaeologists began excavating the ruins in 1892, digging down to the temple's foundations, but no evidence of a fissure or fumes was found. By 1904, a visiting English scholar, A. P. Oppé, declared that ancient beliefs in temple fumes were the result of myth, mistake or fraud. The Oxford Classical Dictionary in 1948 voiced the prevailing view:

"Excavation has rendered improbable the postclassical theory of a chasm with mephitic vapours."

During the late 1990’s however, a geologist, an archaeologist, a chemist and a toxicologist teamed up to produce a wealth of evidence suggesting that the ancient legends had in fact been accurate. The region's underlying rocks turn out to be composed of oily bituminous limestone fractured by two hidden faults that cross exactly under the ruined temple. Tectonic movements along the faults created friction that heated the limestone to a temperature at which the petrochemicals methane, ethane and ethylene vaporized. The two faults also created cracks through which underground spring water and the fumes could rise to the surface and help induce visions. In particular, the scientists found that the women communing with the oracle probably came under the influence of ethylene - a sweet-smelling but psychoactively potent gas once used as an anesthetic. In light doses, ethylene produces feelings of disembodied euphoria and visionary insight. Concerning the effects of ethylene, some years ago an American anesthesiologist Isabella Herb discovered that a 20 percent mixture of ethylene produced unconsciousness but that lower concentrations induced trance states in which the patients remained conscious, were able to sit upright and respond to questions, and experienced out-of-body states and euphoria.

Earlier archaeologists studying the Temple of Apollo and its oracle chamber had noted several anomalous features of the temple’s architecture. The adyton, the inner sanctum where the oracular priestesses had sat, was set two to four meters below the level of the surrounding floor; it was asymmetrical with a break in the internal colonnade having once accommodated a now vanished structure; and built into the foundations next to the recessed area were subterranean passages and a drain for spring water. Each of these features seems to indicate that the Temple of Apollo had been specifically designed to a enclose a particular area of terrain where issued the oracular waters and vapors, rather than the temple having been created to house an image of a deity, such as was the primary purpose of other Greek temples.

Questions regarding the future would be asked of the oracular priestesses. The answers, interpreted by male priests and then spoken in verse, proved so accurate that the Delphic oracle came to exercise enormous political and social influence in the Greek empire for nearly a thousand years. Historical sources indicate that the Delphic oracle was open only one day per month during the nine months of the year when Apollo was considered to be resident at the site. For a variety of reasons the Delphic oracle was in decline by the 1st century AD and the last recorded oracle was in 362 AD. The Christian emperor Theodosius officially closed the vast temple in 393 AD, thereby signaling the end of the ancient tradition of Greek oracles and the ascendancy of the new god of Christianity. Delphi was abandoned to the elements and gradually fell into ruins.

Peering through the veils of legend and myth we may discern at Delphi the story of an ancient goddess site being later taken over by a culture whose primary deity was a male god. The 'spearing' of the serpent may be interpreted as the marking of the energy beam point (a small area of concentrated energy at a power place) with a spear of stone and also the symbol of the masculine usurpation of a feminine deity shrine. The omphalos stone, and the earlier marker stone it replaced, were used to gather, concentrate and emanate the energies of the power place for the benefit of the local people. From earliest times the particular energy of the site, as well as the chemical vapors rising from deep within the earth, had been recognized to induce prophetic visions in people and as a consequence a quasi-religious cult had developed over time.

Part 2 : Tholos Temple

The photograph shows remains of the Tholos temple at the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, with sacred Mt. Parnassus in the background. Located roughly one-half mile from the main concentration of buildings at Delphi, Athena Pronaia was the gateway to Delphi. The site, having been occupied since the Neolithic Period (5000-3000 BC) and later by the Myceneans, may actually predate Delphi as a sacred place. Originally dedicated to the worship of an Earth Goddess, the shrine was eventually occupied by Olympian deities, Athena in particular. A guardian of wisdom and spiritual consciousness, Athena continued the ancient veneration of the feminine principle and brought devotion to the Earth Mother into the Classical Age of Greece. The Tholos temple, built in the early 4th century BC, has an unusual circular shape. This shape and the leaf-adorned capitals of its Corinthian columns are representations of the sacred forest groves of the old Earth Goddess religion. Writing in The Earth, The Temple, and The Gods, Vincent Skully comments that

"The omphalos, or navel, which was supposed to mark the center of the world, was kept in the sanctuary of Apollo's temple itself (in the center of nearby Delphi), but the Tholos of Athena's sanctuary more clearly seems to evoke the navel of the earth than does any other building there."

Mt. Parnassus, in addition to its other mythological associations, holds a similar position in Greek legends as Mt. Ararat holds in the Old Testament. After the waters of a great flood receded, an ark-like boat carrying Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha landed on Mt. Parnassus. High upon the mountain, Deucalion sought advice from Themis, a resident earth goddess, regarding how to repopulate the earth with humans. Themis instructed Deucalion and Pyrrha to throw rocks over their shoulder, these being the “bones” of the Earth Mother, and that the stones would be transformed into the first human beings. Themis (who was another daughter of Gaia, by Uranus) also figures in an alternate legend of the Delphic oracle. In this account, Themis succeeded Gaia as the guardian of sacred Mt. Parnassus and later instructed Apollo in the arts of prophecy. In these myths, Apollo does not kill the serpent Python, but rather an evil dragoness known as Delphyne. Python then becomes the guardian of Apollo’s oracular temple, while Themis continues to reside upon Mt. Parnassus. Mt. Parnassus is also the legendary home of the Muses (three or nine in number according to different legends), these being divine singers and musicians whose music enchanted the gods. The association of the Muses with the mountain has made it a source of poetic inspiration and the favored pilgrimage destination of poets.

Further adding to the mystery of Delphi are the studies of ancient mysteries researchers, Paul Broadhurst and Hamish Miller. Following their exploration and mapping of alignments of sacred sites along the so-called St. Michael and Mary lines in southern England (chronicled in their book The Sun and the Serpent), Broadhurst and Miller spent ten years studying another alignment that passes through the temple of Delphi. Beginning at Skellig Michael in Ireland, the remarkable alignment stretches 2500 miles, passing through numerous ancient holy sites in Cornwall, France, Italy, Greece and Israel. Readers interested in learning more about this alignment of sacred sites and its fascinating relationship to the oracular temple of Delphi will enjoy The Dance of the Dragon by Broadhurst and Miller. Additional information on the scientific studies of the intoxicating gases at Delphi may be found in an article by Hale, de Boer, Chanton and Spiller in the August, 2003 issue of Scientific American.

Externsteine, Germany

http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/germany/images/externstein-temple-500.jpg

Encompassing the old towns of Detmold and Horn, the Teutoburg district is historically claimed as the sacred heartland of Germany. Here took place episodes of the German heroic myths and the defeat of the Roman legions by Arminius. The region was also known as a place of pilgrimage in prehistoric, Celtic and early Saxon times. At the geomantic center of this ancient sacred region stand the Externsteine rocks, a chain of towering sandstone spires dating from the Cretacious period (about 70 million years ago). Shrouded in mystery, the Externsteine rocks are one of the most ardently debated archaeological sites in all of Central Europe. They were a sanctuary of nomadic reindeer hunters and from earliest times had an important influence on German history. Pagan rituals were performed here until the 8th century AD, when Charles the Great cut down the sacred Irmensul tree, the German tree of life and symbol of the old religion. Atop the tallest rock spire are the extremely well preserved remains of an enigmatic prehistoric temple.

Different theories have been suggested concerning the identity of the temple's builders and the use to which it was put. Some have described the shrine as a Mithraeum, or sanctuary for Roman soldiers adhering to the Persian cult of Mithras, while other scholars believe that such deities as the Germanic Teut, the Nordic Wodan, or the Bructerian prophetess Veleda were worshipped in the sanctuary. What is known with certainty however is that the temple was constructed according to astronomical orientations. The round window-like opening shown in the photograph has been demonstrated to have significant celestial alignments, including a view of the moon at its northern extreme and the sun at sunrise on the summer solstice.

The earliest historical mention of Externsteine comes from the 12th century when the site came under the control of a nearby Benedictine monastery. A series of artificial caves, which had been mysteriously carved into the base of the sandstone spires in ancient times, were enlarged and used as dwellings for Christian hermits and monks.

It is remarkable that the delicate and enchanting temple atop the central spire was not destroyed at this time, like so many other pagan sites presumed to be places of 'devil worship' by the medieval Christians. Similar to numerous other sacred sites in Europe today, Externsteine is much frequented by crowds of noisy tourists; if one is intent on experiencing the magic and holiness of this extraordinary place, the author recommends a surreptitious nocturnal visit.

Devil's Tower - Wyoming

http://www.sacredsites.com/americas/united_states/images/devils-tower-01-500.jpg

Brought to international attention by the hugely popular movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Devils Tower has been a sacred place of numerous Indian tribes since prehistoric times. Various legends are told about the origin of the tower. One story, common to the Kiowa, Arapaho, Crow, Cheyenne and Sioux tribes, concerns a group of little girls pursued by a giant bear. According to this legend, seven young Indian girls were one day playing in the forest. A great bear came upon them and gave chase. The girls fled swiftly through the trees but the bear slowly gained on them. Recognizing the hopelessness of their situation, the girls jumped upon a low rock and prayed loudly to the Great Spirit to save them. Immediately the small rock began to grow upwards, lifting the seven girls higher and higher into the sky. The angry bear jumped up against the sides of the growing tower and left deep claw marks, which may be seen to this day upon the rock walls. The tower continued to soar towards the sky until the girls were pushed up into the heavens, where they became the seven stars of the Pleiades. Known to the Indians as Mateo Tepee or Grizzly Bear Lodge, the tower is actually the remnant of a volcanic extrusion that occurred 60-70 million years ago. Rising some 1,200 feet above the nearby Belle Fourche River, the tower was first seen by white explorers during a US. Geological Survey in 1875. The surveyors called the rock Devils Tower after an old Indian name, The Bad God's Tower. It was first climbed, using a long wooden ladder attached to the rock face, on July 4th, 1893. Proclaimed the first US National Park by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906, the tower is today a popular climbing site and over 20,000 ascents have been made. Jutting magnificently out of the relatively flat surrounding terrain, the tower was a greatly honored vision quest site of the Indians. Its use in this regard has continued to the present time, for both Indians and non-Indians, and many visitors have reported seeing strange light phenomena and UFO's flying about the tower's summit.

Let's fly to Syria (indony Suriah)

Umayyad Mosque - Damascus
(Buat yg msh maen RO pzti ud rada ga aneh lg ama struktur bangunanny.. Soalny kota Morroc di RO terinspirasi dr masjid ini loh! Suweerr Dehh!!)

http://www.sacredsites.com/middle_east/syria/images/damascus.jpg

Located in the heart of the teeming city of Damascus, the Great Mosque is known to be the oldest existing monumental architecture in the Islamic world. For millennia before the birth of Islam, however, the city of Damascus was a sacred site of ancient and long forgotten cultures. Damascus is thought by some scholars to be the oldest continuously settled city in the Middle East and as such would have witnessed scores of different religious cultures. The recognized history of the temple site is known to go back to at least 1000 BC when the Aramaens built shrines for Hadad, the god of storms and lightening, and the goddess Atargites (Venus). Upon the foundations of these Aramaen sanctuaries the Romans built a massive temple of the god Jupiter. Excavations done in the early 1900's have revealed rock inscriptions that give construction dates for the Jupiter temple of AD 15-16 and 37-38.

The Jupiter temple, which has almost completely disappeared (or is buried deep beneath existing structures), stood upon a platform known as a temenos (or sacred enclosure) that measured about 385 meters (421 yards) from east to west and 305 meters (334 yards) from north to south. The outer walls of the temenos still survive and are distinguished as large blocks of dressed masonry. At the four corners of the temenos there were large square towers, of which only the south-western survives, and around the edge there were arcades that opened upon a large rectangular courtyard. Under the Roman Emperor Theodosius (375-95), pagan ceremonies at the temple of Jupiter were forbidden, Christianity took possession of the temple area, and construction was begun on a church of St. John that was situated in the exact place where the Jupiter temple had previously stood. This church, an important pilgrimage site of early Byzantine Christianity, continued to function even after the Islamic conquest of Damascus in 636. Following their occupation of the ancient city, the Muslims shared the great Roman temple platform with the Christians, the Christians retaining possession of their church and the Muslims using the southern arcades of the Roman temenos area for their prayers.

In 706 al-Walid, the sixth Umayyad caliph, demolished the church and constructed a mosque along the southern wall of the Roman temenos. Using thousands of craftsmen of Coptic, Persian, Indian and Greek origin, the construction took ten years to complete and included a prayer hall, a vast courtyard and hundreds of rooms for visiting pilgrims. The triple ailed prayer hall, roughly 160 meters long, was covered with a tiled wooden roof and supported on reused columns taken from Roman temples in the region as well as the Church of Mary at Antioch (a similar practice yielded columns for the mosque of Kairouan in Tunisia). The entire facing of the courtyard and the arcades surrounding it were embellished with colored marble, glass mosaic and gilding, and, in fact, were the most extensive area of wall mosaic ever created in ancient times. All that remains of this original Islamic ornamentation may be seen on the north outer face of the transept, under the gable; on the arcades and back of the west portico; and on the arches of the vestibule. The minaret structures of the current mosque compound developed out of the corner towers of the ancient Roman temenos. The existing minarets date from the time of al-Walid with reconstruction and enlargements done around 1340 and 1488. The minaret of the southeastern corner is called the Minaret of Jesus, because of a local tradition that says this is where Jesus will appear on the Day of Judgment. Since the Umayyad period of its construction the mosque has been rebuilt several times in response to disastrous fires of 1069, 1401 and 1893. The entire marble paneling that may be seen in the sanctuary today dates from after the fire of 1893.

Inside the mosque is a small shrine of John the Baptist (Prophet Yahia to the Muslims) where tradition holds that the head of John (and perhaps his entire body) are buried. Adjacent to the prayer hall, along the eastern wall of the courtyard, is the entrance to a finely tiled shrine chamber. According to different traditions this shrine holds the head of Zechariah, the father of St. John the Baptist or the head of Hussein, the son of Imam Ali (the son in law of Muhammad and the forth of the 'Rightly Guided Caliphs').

In architecture, gargoyles are the carved terminations to spouts which convey water away from the sides of buildings. The term originates from the French gargouille, originally the throat or gullet, cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, and similar words derived from root gar, to swallow, the word representing the gurgling sound of water; Ital. doccione; Ger. Ausguss, Wasserspeier.

Gargoyles are mostly eerie figures. Statues representing gargoyle-like creatures are popular sales items, particularly in goth and New Age retail stores.

A chimera, or a grotesque figure, is a similar type of sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also popularly referred to as gargoyles.

The term gargoyle is most often applied to medieval work, but throughout all ages some means of throwing the water off roofs, when not conveyed in gutters, was adopted. In Egypt, gargoyles ejected the water used in the washing of the sacred vessels which seems to have been done on the flat roofs of the temples. In Greek temples, the water from roofs passed through the mouths of lions whose heads were carved or modelled in the marble or terra cotta cymatium of the cornice. At Pompeii, many terra cotta gargoyles were found that are modelled in the shape of animals.

A local legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus ("Romain") (631 – 641 A.D.), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille, having the creature captured by the only volunteer, a condemned man. The gargoyle's grotesque form was said to scare off evil spirits so they were used for protection. In commemoration of St. Romain the Archbishops of Rouen were granted the right to set a prisoner free on the day that the reliquary of the saint was carried in procession (see details at Rouen).

Although most have grotesque features, the term gargoyle has come to include all types of images. Some gargoyles were depicted as monks, combinations of real animals and people, many of which were humorous. Unusual animal mixtures, or chimeras, did not act as rainspouts and are more properly called grotesques. They serve more as ornamentation, but are now synonymous with gargoyles.

Gargoyles, or more precisely chimerae, were used as decoration on 19th and early 20th century buildings in cities such as New York (where the Chrysler Building's stainless steel gargoyles are celebrated), and Chicago. Gargoyles can be found on many churches and buildings.

One impressive collection of modern gargoyles can be found at Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC. The cathedral begun in 1908 is encrusted with the limestone demons. This collection also includes Darth Vader, a crooked politician, robots and many other modern spins on the ancient tradition. The 20th Century collegiate form of the Gothic Revival produced many modern gargoyles, notably at Princeton University, Duke University and the University of Chicago.

Rumorny seeh gargoyle tuch gabungan dr monk, bat, ama chimera.. Di game2 strategi suka ad gargoyle dgn skillny menjadi batu bwat menyamar.. Tp klo udh malem,, Syeehhhhreeemmm BOOO!! :kabur:

Memang benar, bangsa Maya tinggal di Amerika Tengah yang sekarang ini, bekas peninggalan sejarah yang misterius berada di dalam hutan belantara yang terpencil dan sepi, sekalipun begitu, ada beberapa orang yang mengetahui, bahwa bangsa Maya mempunyai hubungan yang sangat erat dengan bangsa Tiongkok dan Mongol di belahan bumi lain yang jauh. Peninggalan batu raksasa dan karya seni bangsa Maya yang mahatinggi, jauh melebihi kehebatan teknologi masa kini. Marilah kita lepaskan prasangka dan persepsi yang telah telanjur tertanam, menyelami kembali bekas kehidupan dan tempat tinggal bangsa Maya, melihat-lihat bagaimana dan apakah sebenarnya bangsa dan kebudayaan Maya.

Proses Penemuan
Bangsa Spanyol masuk ke Amerika Selatan pada abad ke-16, dengan status agresor mereka menjajah daratan yang asli ini. Penduduk Amerika Tengah dan Selatan ketika itu hidup sebagai petani yang primitif, mereka sama sekali tidak berdaya menghadapi kapal dan meriam kuat bangsa Spanyol. Dan dengan cepat, bangsa Spanyol menyebarkan agama mereka ke tempat tersebut, dua orang misionaris yang melihat kepercayaan takhayul dan ilmu sihir penduduk setempat, segera membakar tempat tersebut, mengakibatkan buku kuno yang disembunyikan semuanya terbakar musnah.


http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/9626/mayancivilization11in4.jpg


Tidak disangka bahwa buku-buku tersebut adalah buku kuno yang mencatat pusaka pengetahuan peninggalan kebudayaan bangsa Maya yang telah lama menghilang, di dalamnya tercatat secara terperinci tingkat ilmu pengetahuan dan budaya mereka yang mahatinggi pada masa itu. Mungkin demikianlah takdirnya, kini para ilmuwan yang menyelidiki kebudayaan Maya hanya bisa menggambarkan kehebatan budaya Maya saat itu secara tambal sulam berdasarkan potongan naskah yang berhasil dikumpulkan.


Bebatuan Raksasa di Hutan
Piramida bangsa Maya dapat dikatakan merupakan bangunan piramida kedua yang terkenal setelah piramida di Mesir. Kedua jenis bangunan piramida ini terlihat tidak begitu sama, warna piramida Mesir adalah kuning keemasan, sebuah piramida bersudut empat yang berbentuk kerucut, agak terkikis setelah berabad-abad tertiup angin dan diterpa hujan. Piramida Maya lebih rendah sedikit, disusun dari bebatuan raksasa yang berwarna abu-abu dan putih, tidak semuanya berbentuk kerucut, di puncaknya ada sebuah balairung untuk memuja dewa. Di sekeliling piramida Maya masing-masing memiliki 4 tangga, setiap tangga memiliki 91 undakan, secara total 4 buah tangga ditambah satu undakan bagian paling atas adalah berjumlah 365 undakan (91 x 4 + 1 = 365), tepat merupakan jumlah hari dalam satu tahun.

Bangsa Maya sangat memperhatikan ilmu perbintangan, baik di dalam maupun di luar bangunan semuanya adalah angka yang berhubungan dengan hukum peredaran benda langit. Selain jumlah undakan tangga, pada 4 bagian piramida masing-masing terdapat 52 buah relief 4 sudut, menandakan satu abad bangsa Maya adalah 52 tahun.

Observatorium astronomi bangsa Maya juga memiliki bentuk bangunan yang sangat spesifik. Dilihat dari sudut pandang masa kini, secara fungsional maupun bentuk luar observatorium bangsa Maya sangat mirip dengan observatorium masa kini, sebagai contoh misalnya menara pengamat observatorium Kainuoka, di atas teras yang indah dan sangat besar pada menara tersebut, terdapat undakan kecil bertingkat-tingkat yang menuju ke teras. Ada beberapa kemiripan dengan observatorium sekarang, juga merupakan sebuah bangunan tingkat rendah yang berbentuk tabung bundar, pada bagian atas terdapat sebuah kubah yang berbentuk setengah bola, kubah ini dalam rancangan observatorium sekarang adalah tempat untuk menjulurkan teropong astronomi. Empat buah pintu di lantai yang rendah tepat mengarah pada 4 posisi. Jendela di tempat itu membentuk 6 jalur hubungan dengan serambi muka, paling sedikit tiga di antaranya berhubungan dengan astronomi. Salah satunya berhubungan dengan musim semi (musim gugur), sedangkan dua lainnya berhubungan dengan aktivitas bulan.

Menara pengamat observatorium Kainuoka ini adalah peninggalan terbesar dalam sejarah, peninggalan sejarah yang lain juga memiliki bangunan yang serupa. Semuanya dalam posisi yang saling merapat dengan matahari dan bulan. Belakangan ini arkeolog beranggapan bahwa astronom bangsa Maya pada zaman purbakala telah membangun jaringan pengamat astronomi pada setiap wilayahnya.


http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2060/mayancivilization2oz4.jpg


Dinilai pada masa kini, bangunan tersebut cukup menakjubkan. Piramida Maya misalnya, bagaimanakah caranya memotong bebatuan berukuran sangat besar, diangkut ke tempat yang jauh dalam hutan belantara, bebatuan yang beratnya puluhan ton, ditumpuk hingga mencapai tinggi 70 meter, jika tidak ditunjang dengan alat angkut dan peralatan yang memadai, adalah sangat sulit untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan tersebut. Dan suku bangsa yang hidup dalam hutan belantara, mengapa harus mengerahkan upaya dan tenaga sedemikian besar, membangun sebuah jaringan pengamat observatorium? Ditilik dari sejarah, teleskop baru ditemukan pada abad ke-16 oleh Galileo, setelah itu barulah muncul observatorium ukuran besar, dan konsep jaringan pengamat observatorium baru muncul pada zaman modern. Kala itu konsep yang demikian dapatlah dikatakan sangat maju dan canggih.



Hilang Secara Misterius
Lembaran budaya cemerlang yang ditulis bangsa Maya untuk sejarah manusia, telah kita ketahui tingkat keanggunannya. Arkeolog menganggap, kebudayaan bangsa Maya semestinya secara perlahan-lahan terbentuk sejak tahun 2000 SM hingga masa tahun 250 M, setelah tahun 250 M hingga masa tahun 900 M, budaya tersebut memasuki masa keemasan, dan pada abad ke-7 dan 8, memasuki masa yang sangat makmur dan sejahtera.

Tulisan paling dini bangsa Maya muncul menjelang dan sekitar Masehi, namun batu prasasti pertama yang tergali memperlihatkan catatan yang menulis tahun 292 M. Sejak itu, tulisan bangsa Maya hanya tersebar pada areal terbatas. Dan pada tarikh Masehi setelah pertengahan abad ke-5, tulisan bangsa Maya baru secara menyeluruh tersebar ke semua kawasan Maya. Misalnya batu prasasti terakhir diselesaikan pada 869 M, dan batu prasasti terakhir di seluruh kawasan Maya diselesaikan pada 909 M.


http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2557/mayanmaplargeja9.jpg


Menurut data penelitian: "Suatu hari di tahun 909 M, tanpa sebab yang jelas, 80%bangsa kuno Maya tiba-tiba saja menghilang, tidak hanya meninggalkan kuil yang belum selesai dibangun, bahkan sejumlah besar balairung dewa dan bangunan model raksasa semuanya ditinggalkan begitu saja, terbenam dalam reruntuhan tembok yang roboh. Semua pusat pemujaan juga terhenti aktivitasnya. Kemudian, sejak hari itu, kebijaksanaan leluhur lenyap dengan sangat cepat, dan bangsa Maya yang tertinggal pun mulai berubah menjadi buta pengetahuan dan merosot moralnya."
Dari bukti penelitian ilmuwan ini, kita dapat memberikan penjelasan yang rasional: Setelah mengalami perkembangan budaya yang tinggi, dikarenakan perkembangan budaya materi, kehidupan bangsa Maya kuno lambat laun merosot, menuju kemerosotan moral masyarakat. Lalu sebagian yang masih disebut kebijaksanaan leluhur itu, pada kenyataannya adalah sekelompok orang yang telah jatuh merosot moralnya, mereka mendorong perkembangan hal yang tidak baik, membuat segenap masyarakat bangsa Maya kuno mengarah menuju kepunahan!

Meskipun terdapat sejumlah dokumen yang tersisa, namun sangat sulit bagi kita untuk memastikan peristiwa mengerikan apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada tahun 909 M itu, berbagai macam versi hipotesa tentang kepunahan bangsa Maya, misalnya banjir, gempa bumi, angin topan, bencana maupun pendapat lainnya tentang wabah, keracunan massal, penyakit menular, bahkan dikatakan populasi yang membengkak, pembakaran hutan secara berulang kali untuk bercocok tanam yang mengakibatkan tanah gersang, ataupun bencana ekonomi, bahkan dikatakan invasi musuh, perang antarkota, pemberontakan kaum petani maupun masalah sosial seperti bunuh diri massal, dan pendapat lain yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Apa pun penyebabnya sama sekali tidaklah penting, intinya adalah sejarah sekali lagi telah mempertahankan orang yang baik dan sederhana, sedangkan sebutan "buta pengetahuan dan merosot moralnya" yang digunakan untuk melukiskan keturunan bangsa Maya, hanyalah kaidah yang dilihat oleh mata manusia masa kini, sangat lugu dan baik seperti tidak berpengetahuan, tidak tahu mengejar keuntungan mendatangkan keputusasaan. Pertanyaannya adalah mengapa sejarah manusia lagi-lagi mencatat lenyapnya umat manusia yang disebut sebagai "kebijaksanaan leluhur"?

Lemuria/Mu merupakan peradaban kuno yg muncul terlebih dahulu sebelum peradaban Atlantis. Para peneliti menempatkan era peradaban Lemuria disekitar periode 75000 SM - 11000 SM.Jika kita lihat dari periode itu,Bangsa Atlantis dan Lemuria seharusnya pernah hidup bersama selama ribuan tahun lamanya.
Gagasan Benua Lemuria terlebih dahulu eksis dibanding peradaban Atlantis dan Mesir Kuno dapat kita peroleh penjelasannya dari sebuah karya Augustus Le Plongeon (1826-1908), seorang peneliti dan penulis pada abad ke -19 yang mengadakan penelitian terhadap situs2 purbakala peninggalan Bangsa Maya di Yucatan.
Informasi tsb diperoleh setelah keberhasilannya menterjemahkan beberapa lembaran catatan kuno peninggalan Bangsa Maya.
Dari hasil terjemahan,diperoleh beberapa informasi yang menunjukkan hasil bahwa Bangsa Lemuria memang berusia lebih tua daripada peradaban nenek moyang mereka (Atlantis).Namun dikatakan juga,bahwa mereka pernah hidup dalam periode waktu yang sama, sebelum kemudian sebuah bencana gempa bumi dan air bah dasyat meluluh lantahkan dan menenggelamkan kedua peradaban maju masa silam tersebut.

Hingga saat ini,letak dari Benua Lemuria pada masa silam masih menjadi sebuah kontroversi, namun berdasarkan bukti arkeologis dan beberapa teori yang dikemukakan oleh para peneliti,kemungkinan besar peradaban tsb berlokasi di Samudera Pasifik (disekitar Indonesia sekarang).
Banyak arkeolog memepercayai bahwa Easter Island yang misterius itu merupakan bagian dari Benua Lemuria.Hal ini jika dipandang dari ratusan patung batu kolosal yang mengitari pulau dan beberapa catatan kuno yang terukir pada beberapa artifak yang mengacu pada bekas-bekas peninggalan peradaban maju pada masa silam.
Mitologi turun temurun para suku Maori dan Samoa yang menetap dipulau-pulau disekitar Samudera Pasifik juga menyebutkan bahwa dahlulu kala pernah ada sebuah daratan besar besar di Pasifik yang yang hancur diterjang oleh gelombang pasang air laut dasyat (tsunami), namun sebelumnya bangsa mereka telah hancur terlebih dahulu akibat peperangan.

Keadaan Lemuria sendiri digambarkan sangat mirip dengan peradaban Atlantis,memiliki tanah yang subur,masyarakat yang makmur dan penguasaan terhadap beberapa cabang ilmu pengetahuan yang mendalam.
faktor-faktor tersebut tentunya menjadi sebuah landasan pokok bagi Bangsa Lemuria untuk berkembang pesat menjadi sebuah peradaban yang maju dan memiliki banyak ahli/ilmuwan yang dapat menciptakan suatu trobosan baru dalam Ilmu pengetahuan dan Teknologi mereka.
Seperti banyak dikemukakan oleh beberapa pakar spiritual dan arkeologi, bahwa bangsa Lemurian dan Atlantean menggunakan crystal secara intensif dalam kehidupan mereka.
Edgar Cayce, seorang spiritualis Amerika melalui channelingnya berkali2 mengungkapkan hal yang sama.
Kuil2 Lemuria dan Atlantis menempatkan sebuah crystal generator raksasa yang dikelilingi crystal2 lain, baik sebagai sumber tenaga maupun guna berbagai penyembuhan.
Banyak info mengenai atlantis dan lemurian diperoleh dengan men-channel crystal2 'old soul' yang pernah digunakan pada kedua jaman ini.

Beberapa Monument Batu misterius yang berhasil ditemukan dibawah perairan Yonaguni,Jepang,mungkinkah monument2 ini merupakan sisa-sisa dari peradaban Lemuria?




Namun, berbeda dengan bangsa Atlantis yang lebih mengandalkan fisik,teknologi dan gemar berperang,Bangsa Lemuria justru dipercaya sebagai manusia-manusia dengan tingkat evolusi dan spiritual yang tinggi,sangat damai dan bermoral.
Menurut Edgar Cayce,munculnya Atlantis sebagai suatu peradaban super power pada saat itu (kalau sekarang mirip Amerika Serikat begitulah) membuat mereka sangat ingin menaklukkan bangsa-bangsa didunia,diantaranya Yunani dan Lemuria yang dipandang oleh para Atlantean sebagai peradaban yang kuat.
Berbekal peralatan perang yang canggih serta strategi perang yang baik,invansi Atlantis ke Lemuria berjalan seperti yang diharapkan.
Karena sifat dari Lemurian yang menjunjung tinggi konsep perdamaian,mereka tidak dibekali dengan teknologi perang secanggih bangsa Atlantean,sehingga dalam sekejap Lemuria pun jatuh ketangan Atlantis.
Para Lemurian yang berada dalam kondisi terdesak,ahirnya banyak meninggalkan bumi untuk mencari tempat tinggal baru di planet lain yang memiliki karakteristik mirip bumi,mungkin keberadaan mereka saat ini belum kita ketahui (ada yang mengatakan saat ini mereka tinggal di Planet Erra/Terra digugus bintang Pleiades)

Mungkin kisah para Lemurian yang meninggalkan bumi untuk menetap diplanet lain ini sedikit tidak masuk akal, tapi perlu kita ketahui bahwa teknologi mereka pada saat itu sudah sangat maju,penguasaan teknologi penjelajahan luar angkasa mungkin telah dapat mereka realisasikan dijauh2 hari.Tentunya penguasaan teknologi yang sama pada era peradaban kita ini,belum bisa disandingkan dengan kemajuan teknologi yang mereka ciptakan.

ayo lanjutin lagi bang :)

Wah temen2 ada tempat bagus nih!!! :D

Big Ben, London - UK Parliament Building

"Big Ben" does not refer to the whole clocktower, but to the huge thirteen ton bell that strikes the hour.

One theory has it that the bell was named after a popular heavyweight boxer Benjamin Caunt. However, the consensus today seems to be that it was named after Sir Benjamin Hall*, a (literally) weighty politician of the time who was the Parliamentary Commissioner of Works.

Also known as The Palace of Westminster, The Houses of Parliament incorporates The House of Commons (destroyed in WW2, rebuilt 1950), The House of Lords & Westminster Hall.

Ground Zero - America's New Sacred Site

Di tempat bekas berdirinya Twin Towers muncul memorial lights seperti ini, lho:

http://aku-aku.com/nyc/trade.center.lights-a.jpg

http://aku-aku.com/nyc/statue.jpg

http://www.aku-aku.com/nyc/brooklyn_bridge-a.jpg

Cerita dari fotografernya:

It was about 1:00 AM by the time I got to that location again. The lights of the bridge sparkled and reflected in the water below. And where the twin towers once stood the twin beams rose silently in the sky. A few people milled about but soon left as clouds and rain started falling. I was about to leave to when something magic began to happen in the sky. The mist in the air gave the lights something to illuminate and they began to glow brightly. And fast moving low clouds passed through the beams creating various shapes that quickly appeared and disappeared. For a fleeting moment while my camera shutter was open, a faint heart-shaped spot formed on the clouds over the city.

The rain grew heavier so I left and drove back across the bridge. The road home took me right past where the spotlights were installed. Despite the rain the area was filled with people standing under the lights that appeared much different when viewed from so close. Like curtains they shot straight up into the sky. Looking up you could see birds circling through them. And falling down over the tear drenched faces of the crowd the rain fell, each drop glowing with the lights’ illumination.

Kabah tempat misterius? Apanya yang misterius? Mekah cuma tanah suci bagi kami-kami orang Islam. Tempat beribadah paling afdol. Bukan tempat buat cari cerita misteri. Sebab kalo cuma itu, misteri itu bisa terjadi disembarang tempat.

adoow, Mbah... merontokkan mimpiku tentang peri deh ::cry::



engga perlu rontok mimpinya :hehe
peri itu ada kok. Tapi mereka bukan physical being spt kita. Jadi kalu ada yang menemukan jasad peri, hehehe pasti hoax tuh.

Kok Gak ada gambarnya yaa
artikelnya aja dehh

In 1916/17 Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright, two young girls living in Cottingley, produced the most famous fairy pictures in Britain which are still talked about today.

The first photograph was taken in July 1917 and showed Frances with the fairies.

Frances and Elsie had been teased about their story of seeing fairies near Cottingley Beck. Elsie borrowed her father's quarter plate camera ,which he set to 1/50s at f/11 for her, and after some rudimentary instruction on how to operate it, she went off with Frances into the area where the beck ran among the trees behind the family home. An hour later they returned triumphant.

When Mr. Arthur Wright (one of the earliest qualified electrical engineers), and Elsie went into the dark room that evening to develop the plate, there were the fairies. Arthur asked what those bits of paper were doing on the picture?

The second photograph of the gnome resulted in the girls being banned from borrowing the camera again. The photographs were put away by Mr. Wright in a drawer as he considered them to be pranks. (Mrs. Wright was convinced of their authenticity.)

In 1918 Frances wrote to her friend Johanna Parvin in South Africa and enclosed a copy of the photograph. On the back of the photo she had written 'Elsie and I are friendly with the beck fairies. Funny, I never used to see them in Africa. It must be too hot for them there. The letter from Frances ran thus: '. . . all think the war will be over in a few days, we are going to get our flags to hang up in our bedroom. I am sending you two photos, both of me, one is me in a bathing costume in our back yard, uncle Arthur took that, while the other is me with some fairies up the beck, Elsie took that one. Rosebud is as fat as ever and I have made her some new clothes. How are Teddy and dolly?' In her letter to Johanna, Frances was more interested in talking about the war and her dolls and the photo with the fairies was given but scant and matter of fact reporting. As if seeing fairies was to her an every day occurrence of little importance.

Three years later Mrs Wright went to a folklore lecture in Bradford with a friend. This lecture included references to fairies and following the lecture in conversation with her friend mentioned the fairy pictures. They were overheard by a friend of Edward Gardner, a leading theosophist, and Edward asked to see them.

Fred Barlow, a leading authority on psychic photography, commented to Gardner in June 1920 - 'I am inclined to think, in the absence of more detailed particulars, that the photograph showing the four dancing fairies is not what it is claimed to be....' and in December 1920 - 'I am returning herewith the three fairy photographs you very kindly loaned to me, and have no hesitation in announcing them as the most wonderful and interesting results I have ever seen.'

Gardner sought a photographer who had the ability to examine the photographs fully and so it was that Harold Snelling came to his notice. He was informed that 'What Snelling doesn't know about faked photographs isn't worth knowing.' Snelling's considered judgement, in his letter to Edward Gardner of July 31 1920, was 'These two negatives are entirely genuine unfaked photographs of single exposure, open-air work, show movement in all the fairy figures, and there is no trace whatever of studio work involving card or paper models, dark backgrounds, painted figures, etc. In my opinion, they are both straight untouched pictures.'

Mr. Gardner asked Snelling to make contact positives and two lantern slides of the photographs. These lantern slides were shown by him at a lantern lecture at Mortimer Halls, London. Through this the photographs came to the notice of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
On hearing of Mr. Snelling's opinion, it was proposed, and agreed, that if the negatives survived a second expert's judgment, preferably Kodak's, then Edward Gardner and Conan Doyle should join forces and make the photographs a leading feature in the Strand article. Accordingly an appointment was made with Kodak's manager. They were received by Mr. West, the manager. His studio chief and two other expert photographers were also present. The negatives were examined by all at some length, and the results of the inspection were as follows, all agreeing.
(1) The negatives are single exposure.
(2) The plates show no sign of being faked work, but that cannot be taken as conclusive evidence of genuineness.
(3) Kodak's were not willing to give any certificate concerning them because photography lent itself to a multitude of processes, and some clever operator might have made them artificially.
(4) The studio chief added that he thought the photographs might have been made by using the glen features and the girl as a background; then enlarging prints from these and painting in the figures; then taking half-plate and finally quarter-plate snaps, suitably lighted. All this, he agreed, would be clever work and take time.
(5) A remark made by one was that 'after all, as fairies couldn't be true, the photographs must have been faked somehow.'

They came from Kodak's without a certificate. It was decided there and then that one of them would go to Yorkshire, interview the family in their home environment.

Edward Gardner then travelled to Cottingley and spoke to Mrs. Wright and Elsie, who answered his questions willingly and candidly. He spoke separately to Mr. Wright later the same day and found him to be of forthright speech and character and having a cheerful disposition. Mr Wright told Mr. Gardner that he had been so convinced at the time that the figures must be made of paper or something like paper, that while the children were out he searched their bedroom for some sign and he also searched the glen and waterfall. But in neither the house nor the glen did he find anything. Mr. Wright agreed to the Strand publication as long as proper names were not used. Sir Arthur had wished to make some monetary payment for this but Mr. Wright very firmly declined, saying that if the photographs were genuine they shouldn't be soiled by being paid for!

In 1920 The Strand magazine published an article entitled ";An Epoch Making Event - Fairies Photographed";, (the publication sold out within days), and so began a controversy which raged on the the following sixty-three years.

Lanjutannya

The articles in The Strand:
The Absolute Proof. November 1920, Vol. 60, pp. 439 - 445.
December 1920, Vol. 60, pp. 463 - 468. Doyle's acceptance and publication of pictures showing young girls photographed with fairies caused a sensation and great controversy.
March 1921, Vol. 61, pp. 199 - 206. More pictures attempting to prove the genuineness of fairies.- Fairies Photographed. The Cottingley Fairies.
February 1923, Vol. 65, p. 105- The Evidence for Fairies.

In 1921 Conan Doyle arranged for Geoffrey Hodson, a medium, to come to Cottingley, sit with the girls, in the hope that even stronger shapes would materialize. In August 1921 Mr Hodson reported seeing wood elves under some beech trees as well as dancing fairies in the field. These incidents are reported in his book 'Fairies at Work and Play'. He also states in his book 'I am personally convinced of the bona fides of the two girls who took these photographs. I spent some weeks with them and their family, and became assured of the genuineness of their clairvoyance, of the presence of fairies, exactly like those photographed, in the glen at Cottingly(sic), and of the complete honesty of all parties concerned.'

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of Sherlock Holmes fame, was entirely convinced by the photographs and to demonstrate his unshakeable belief in the spirit world, he published The Coming of the Fairies in 1922. It recounted the story of the photographs, their supposed provenance, and the implications of their existence.

Frances moved to Scarborough in the 1920's and Elsie worked at several jobs mainly with an artistic background.
Elsie eventually emigrated to the USA where she met her husband Frank Hill. They moved to India and lived there until 1949. They then settled back in England in the Midlands with their son and daughter.

Frances married a soldier in 1928 - Sydney Way - aand after many postings overseas finally settled in Ramsgate.

Over the years Elsie stated constantly that, although the fairies were wonderful, she needed to try to forget all about them. She said that down the years she got fed up of talking about them.

Elsie and Frances remained tight-lipped until 17th February 1983 when Elsie admitted in a letter of confession that the photographs were a hoax, claiming that they had drawn the fairies, cut them out and fastened them to the ground with hatpins. So that was that!

Or was it? The mystery still lives on with many people still believing that the Cottingley fairies existed. Frances maintained in her last television appearance in 1986 that 'there were fairies at Cottingley'.

Elsie died in April 1988 and Frances died in July 1986. They gave us a story that has stood the test of time and has done no harm to anyone. It may be that the real hoax was 'the confession', made in the hope that they could spare their families from the press, and that somewhere in the spirit world they are both having the 'last' laugh.

Even today these photographs continue to mystify and fascinate the world. All this with the first photograph that a young girl took.

In 1990 Joe Cooper's book ";The Case of the Cottingley Fairies"; was published. He investigated the whole story and Colin Wilson in the foreword to the book states that it is ";as near as we shall ever come to the complex truth behind the case of the Cottingley Fairies";.

A Warner Bros Film ";Fairy Tale - A True Story"; held its British premiere in Bradford in 1998 which tells the story of Frances and Elsie.

Frances was born 1907 and following the fairy affair returned to South Africa. She always maintained that at least one of the photos was not fake. She died in 1986.
Elsie was born 1901. Due to hounding by the English press following the fairy story, she went to America, married and eventually returned to Britain. She died in 1988 at the age of 88.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) died on 7th July 1930

Edward Gardner died in 1970 at the age of 100.

Geoffey Hodson born 12.3.1886 died at age 96 on 23rd January 1983

In the 1980's a former wrestler (Ronnie Bennett) and then forester in Cottingley Woods, admitted to having seen fairies in the woods. He claimed he saw the elf-like figures while working in the Cottingley Estate Woods. "When they showed themselves about nine years ago there was a slight drizzle around. I saw three fairies in the woods and I have never seen them since. They were just about ten inches tall and just stared at me. There is no way the Cottingley Fairies is a hoax."

Geoffrey Crawley tells his personal story of the longest running photography hoax carried out by two Yorkshire schoolgirls in the British Journal of Photography.5/1/2000. Unfortunately this article is no longer available on line. A transcript is available for perusal at the Cottingley Town Hall Heritage Day

Ok,, now let's fly to India.. Up to the Shiva Shrines

http://www.sacredsites.com/asia/india/images/shiva-linga-500.jpg

Of the three gods of the Hindu trinity, Shiva is the most commonly worshipped in India today, Vishnu being second, and Brahma hardly at all. The origins of Shiva are to be found in a pre-Aryan fertility god and perhaps also in a fierce but minor deity of the Vedas called Rudra. Shiva is a god of many, often contrasting, characteristics. He is associated with the creative energy of the universe and at the same time with its destruction. Literally his name means 'One in whom the universe sleeps after destruction and before the next cycle of creation'. All that is created must one day disintegrate; this disintegration is a return to the formless void from which creation may once again spring forth. Shiva is the dynamic power behind this endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth. He is the master of Tantric yoga, an esoteric science of sexuality, and also the Lord of ascetics, renunciates and yogis. He is the god of the battlefield, the cremation grounds, and inauspicious crossroads, and he is accompanied by demons, ghosts, and evil spirits. An oftern frightening deity, Shiva is also the exponent of the arts and the creator of dance.

Shiva is worshipped in both his anthropomorphic aspect, or more commonly in his aniconic aspect, the Linga. Contrary to a common (and uneducated) notion held in the west, the Shiva Lingam is not worshipped by Hindus as a phallic image. This idea was promulgated by arrogant and prudish Christian missionaries during the 18th century. The more accurate explanation of Linga worship is similar to explanations for the worship of certain stones and mountains throughout the ancient world - these natural objects are understood to be the sources or dwelling places of the spirits of the earth. The Linga is merely a miniature sacred mountain. The word Linga actually means sign or mark, and thus it is most accurately understood as the symbolic representation of the creative and destructive energies of Shiva. In some temples the Linga is simply an unsculpted outcropping of stone, in others a particular image has been fashioned and installed. This later, archaeologically speaking, more recent type of Linga will have always have two well defined parts; a circular horizontal base called a 'yoni' or a 'pitha' which is the female component, and the vertical stone shaft signifying the Shiva component (there may also be a square base signifying Brahma and an octagonal one signifying Vishnu). Sometimes the face of Shiva may be carved or painted upon the linga, or there will be a serpent, a common symbol of Shiva.

While Shiva temples are abundant throughout India's many thousands of villages, there are only a small number that are recongnized as true pilgrimage shrines. The distinction arises from the fact that, while any structure may house an idol of Shiva and thereby be utilized in the worship of the deity, the true pilgrimage shrines are those places where Shiva has actually manifested some aspect of his divine nature. Hindu texts delineate three distinct categories of Shiva shrines; the Jyotir Lingas, the Bhuta Lingas, and the Svayambhu Lingas. The Jyotir Lingas, twelve in number and located throughout the country are considered the most important. They are:

Grineshwar in Visalakam, near the Ellora caves, Maharashtra state
Somnath in Saurashtra, Gujarat state
Mahakalaswar at Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh state
Amareswara at Omkareshwar on the river Narmada, Madhya Pradesh
Tryambakesvara near Nasik on the river Godvari, Maharashtra
Naganath, in Daruka Vanam, Maharashtra
Vaidyanath at Deogarh, Bihar state
Bhimasankar northwest of Poona, in Dhakini, Maharashtra state, (sometimes
alternately listed as a shrine near Gauhati, Assam state)
Kedarnath in the Utterkhand Himalaya, Uttar Pradesh state
Viswanath at Banaras/Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state
Malikarjuna at Srisailam, Andhra Pradesh state, (also listed as a Shakti Pitha site)
Rameshvaram, Tamil Nadu state

The five Bhuta Lingas, where Shiva is said to have manifested himself as a Linga of a natural element (earth, water, air, ether, and fire) are listed with the photo and text for the site of Tiruvanamalai, also featured on this web site.

The Svayambhu Linga temples contain representations of Shiva that are believed to have risen up by themselves in the primordial past. In the commentary by Nigamajnanadeva on his Jirnoddharadasakam, sixty-eight Svayambhu Lingas are listed (for further research and listing of these sites, consult Gopinatha Rao in the bibliography).

sravanabelagola_feet at jain temple

http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/siwa/monte.jpg
The hill of Sravanabelagola, 120 kilometers west of Bangalore in the state of Karnataka, is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Jains. The large hill, also called Vindhyagiri or Per-kalbappu, is 3347 feet above sea level. A flight of 614 steps, finely chiseled into the granite of the mountain, leads to the summit, where stands an open court and the great statue of Sri Gomatheswar. Sravanabelagola means 'the monk on the top of the hill' and hermits, mystics and ascetics have resided here since at least the 3rd century BC. The chief festival of Sravanabelagola is called Maha Masthaka Abhisheka, or the 'Head Anointing Ceremony'. The festival is performed only once every twelve to fourteen years during periods of rare astrological significance.

Manusia Raksasa adalah Legenda?

Dalam mitos setiap bangsa di dunia, manusia raksasa hampir merupakan sebuah tokoh penting yang tidak pernah ketinggalan. Dari mitologi Yunani, dalam dongengnya Jack dengan kacang polong dan manusia raksasa, hingga ke negeri manusia raksasa dalam kisah perjalanan Buddha. Banyak sekali kisah cerita yang semuanya menggambarkan tentang kehidupan manusia raksasa seperti ini. Setelah abad ke-18, seiring dengan perkembangan penelitian pengetahuan manusia di zaman modern, berangsur-angsur legenda sejenis ini pun lenyap. Dan sekarang, orang-orang mengatakan bahwa semua kisah ini hanya legenda, tidak boleh sepenuhnya dipercaya. Namun, sejumlah penemuan arkeologi yang berhubungan dengan manusia raksasa membuat orang merenungkannya kembali, apakah hanya sekadar legenda?

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/giant.jpg

Kita lihat dulu ukiran batu Ica yang ditemukan di Peru, Amerika Selatan, semua batu yang dikumpulkan di museum Dr. Javier, banyak sekali terdapat ukiran yang membuat orang sulit untuk percaya. Di dalam semua gambar ini, dengan jelas kita bisa melihat suasana kehidupan bersama antara manusia dengan dinosaurus, dinosaurus tampak seperti hewan peliharaan atau hewan kesayangan orang-orang pada waktu itu. Sementara ilmuwan berpendapat, bahwa sejak lebih dari 50 juta tahun yang silam dinosaurus sudah lenyap, kalau begitu, siapa sesungguhnya yang mengukir semua gambar tersebut?

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/icaica.jpg

Salah satu pada batu tersebut terukir sebuah gambar, di mana ada seorang yang panik terus dikejar oleh seekor dinosaurus ganas, dia terus berlari dengan perasaan takut. Dinosaurus ini sama seperti dinosaurus ganas yang kita tonton dalam film Jurassic Park, adalah semacam dinosaurus yang berdiri tegak, kaki belakangnya sangat kuat bertenaga, dan kaki depannya sangat pendek. Sepertinya tidak normal pertumbuhannya, tampak tidak serasi dengan sosok badannya yang raksasa. Kini, setelah pakar dinosaurus mengeskavasi fosilnya, melalui penyusunan perbedaan jenis secara seksama, kemudian dengan cara membentuk secara tambal sulam penyusunan kembali kerangka, selanjutnya berdasarkan perkiraan yang rasional lalu melukiskan bentuk dinosaurus di masa itu. Orang yang mengukir semua batu-batu ini, jika bukan hidup pada lebih dari 100 juta tahun yang silam, maka jelas mereka memiliki pengetahuan yang setara dengan ilmuwan sekarang bisa menggambar bentuk dinosaurus melalui fosil pemulihan.

FYI: Ica stones udah pernah gw upload gambar2 dan ceritanya di thread ini

Tidak peduli pendapat mana yang benar, kesimpulan yang diperoleh sama menakjubkan, karena semua gambar yang diukir di atas batu ini terlalu sukar untuk dipahami orang, kenapa bisa melukiskan dinosaurus bersama dengan orang? Coba lihat lagi sebuah batu lainnya, di mana yang terukir di atasnya adalah seekor dinosaurus bersegi tiga. Bentuk dinosaurus ini sangat mirip dengan badak raksasa, dan nama segi tiga diambil dari bagian kepalanya. Dalam gambar tersebut yang terukir adalah seseorang yang menunggang punggung dinosaurus segi tiga, tangannya memegang dan mengayunkan senjata yang mirip kapak. Di atas batu itu, kita masih dapat melihat seseorang yang menunggang di atas punggung dinosaurus bersayap. Batu-batu yang terukir ini hampir semuanya menampilkan jenis dinosaurus yang terkenal itu, dan lagi pula, sepertinya memiliki hubungan yang sangat erat dengan kehidupan orang-orang yang mengukir di atas batu ini.
Jika membandingkan secara seksama semua batu ini, maka akan menemukan sebuah kenyataan yang semakin membuat orang merasa takjub. Di dalam semua batu ukiran ini, skala ukuran manusia dengan dinosaurus tidak jauh berbeda. Dengan berdasarkan contoh fosil dinosaurus ganas yang ditemukan sekarang, tinggi badan dinosaurus ganas kira-kira setinggi 3 lantai gedung apartemen, dalam film Jurassic Park, kita bisa melihat bahwa betapa besarnya dinosaurus ganas itu, dengan sekali injak saja bisa meremukkan orang. Dalam semua batu ukiran yang kita lihat, meskipun dinosaurus tetap lebih besar dari manusia, namun perbandingannya tidak jauh berbeda, terhadap orang yang menunggangi dinosaurus bersegi tiga, perbandingannya adalah seperti orang sekarang dengan sapi. Kalau demikian halnya, semua ini menunjukkan apa? Apakah ada kemungkinannya bahwa manusia yang hidup pada masa dinosaurus itu adalah manusia raksasa?

Pemikiran seperti ini kalau baru pertama kali mendengarnya sukar diterima orang, namun jika semua orang mengetahui bahwa capung yang hidup pada masa dinosaurus, sayapnya bisa mencapai hingga satu meter lebarnya jika dibentangkan, lalu jika mengatakan bahwa orang yang hidup pada masa dinosaurus adalah manusia raksasa, maka tidak aneh lagi jika mempunyai pemikiran seperti itu bukan?

Coba kita bandingkan Ica Stones dan Naza Lines. Yang satu adalah ukiran batu Ica, yang satunya lagi adalah gambar raksasa Nasca di atas tanah datar. Di atas sebuah batu Ica yang tergali, terukir gambar kera yang nyaris sama dengan gambar raksasa Nasca di atas tanah datar. Apakah seniman pengukir juga merupakan pelukis gambar raksasa Nasca? Dan apakah gambar raksasa Nasca yang membuat orang sukar untuk dipahami ini juga dilukis oleh manusia raksasa?

FYI lagi: Nazca lines udah pernah gw upload juga, lengkap dengan gambar 'The Monkey' yang fenomenal itu... coba elu-elu browse lagi di thread misterius ini :hehe

Pada periode terakhir tahun 1950, daerah lembah Turki ditemukan banyak sekali fosil tulang raksasa. Setelah dibuktikan melalui penyelidikan, tulangnya sangat mirip dengan tulang manusia hanya saja ukurannya sangat di luar dugaan, salah satu fosil tulang paha di antaranya mencapai hingga 120 cm. Berdasarkan ukuran ini, maka tinggi badan manusia ini mencapai 5 meter, maka sedikit pun tidak salah jika disebut sebagai manusia raksasa, bukan?

Sedangkan satunya lagi yang mirip di atas ditemukan di Amerika. Orang Indian memiliki sebuah legenda, dahulu kala pernah ada sebuah bangsa manusia raksasa berambut merah, perawakannya benar-benar besar dan juga sangat ganas, leluhur orang Indian, setelah melalui rangkaian ekspedisi sepanjang tahun, baru bisa mengusir manusia raksasa ini. Beberapa manusia raksasa ini tinggal di sebuah kota kecil 35 km dari benua Nevada, Amerika Serikat, di sebuah gua yang disebut Gua Gerai Rambut. Pada mulanya orang tidak menaruh perhatian terhadap legenda ini, hingga sampai pada tahun 1911 sesudah Masehi, setelah buruh tambang sedang menggali kotoran burung di Gua Gerai Rambut tersebut, menemukan sesosok mayat kering (mumi), dengan tinggi badan 2,2 meter, berambut merah. Dengan ditemukannya mumi tersebut barulah menarik perhatian para Arkeolog.

Setelah penemuan ini disingkap, para sarjana teringat akan legenda kuno orang Indian dulu, dan kemudian mulai melakukan penyelidikan. Lembaga sejarah Universitas Beograd, California dan lembaga sejarah Nevada mengutus stafnya untuk melakukan penyelidikan. Laod menemukan beberapa barang peninggalan orang Indian, sayangnya gua tersebut kini telah rusak dikarenakan penggalian tambang.

Selanjutnya, insinyur pertambangan Richde dan staf lainnya mengukur beberapa tulang paha yang telah digali dan menemukan petunjuk dari tulang paha orang-orang itu bahwa tinggi badannya bisa mencapai 2-3 meter. Dan juga ditemukan beberapa rambut berwarna merah pada tempat yang sama. Semua kerangka ini masih disimpan di Museum Henphood, Nevada, Amerika Serikat.
Di Malaysia di sekitar kota Serawak, juga tersiar legenda tentang manusia raksasa, pada awal abad ini, ada orang yang menemukan beberapa gada (pentungan) raksasa di hutan lebat Serawak dengan panjang 2,5-9 meter, konon katanya itu adalah alat yang digunakan oleh manusia raksasa.
Dalam perkembangan sejarah manusia yang panjang, apakah benar pernah ada keberadaan manusia raksasa ini? Jika tidak, lalu apa yang terjadi dengan tulang belulang raksasa yang ditemukan di Turki dan Gua Gerai Rambut di Nevada, Amerika Serikat? Dan jika pernah ada, lalu ke mana perginya mereka? Beberapa bukti di atas, jika dipisah, semuanya merupakan teka-teki yang belum terpecahkan, dan jika disimpulkan merupakan suatu misteri yang mengundang orang untuk berpikir.

Adam's Peak, Sri Lanka

http://www.sacredsites.com/asia/sri_lanka/images/123.jpg

Jutting sharply skyward from the lush jungles of southwestern Sri Lanka is the 7362 foot (2243 meter) peak of Sri Pada, the 'Holy Footprint'. Also called Adam's Peak, the mountain has the unique distinction of being sacred to the followers of four of the world's major religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. Long before the development of these religions, however, the mountain was worshipped by the aboriginal inhabitants of Sri Lanka, the Veddas. Their name for the peak was Samanala Kanda; Saman being one of the four guardian deities of the island. For Hindus, the name of the mountain is Sivan Adi Padham, because it was the world-creative dance of the god Shiva that left the giant footprint (5 feet 7 inches by 2 feet 6 inches). According to Buddhist traditions from as early as 300 BC, the real print is actually beneath this larger marking. Imprinted on a huge sapphire, it was left by the Buddha during the third and final of his legendary visits to Sri Lanka. When Portuguese Christians came to the island in the 16th century they claimed the impression to be the footprint of St. Thomas who, according to legend, first brought Christianity to Sri Lanka. And finally, the Arabs record it as being the solitary footprint of Adam where he stood for a thousand years of penance on one foot. An Arab tradition tells that when Adam was expelled from heaven, God put him on the peak to make the shock less terrible - Ceylon being that place on earth closest to and most like heaven.

The mountain is more easily seen from the sea than from land, and also more impressive. Early Arab seafarers fascinated with the pyramidal peak wrote of it as "the highest mountain in the world" (it is not even the highest in Sri Lanka), and "visible from three days sail". The ancient Sinhalese also believed it to be of great height and a native legend tells "from Seyllan to Paradise is forty miles, and the sound of the fountains of Paradise is heard here". Visited by many early world travelers, among them the Arab Ibn Batuta (1304-1368) and the Venetian Marco Polo (1254-1324), Adam's Peak attained a legendary status as a mystic pilgrimage destination. Today the pilgrimage season commences in December and continues until the beginning of the monsoon rains in April (from May to October the mountain is obscurred by clouds). Certain parts of the path leading up the mountain are extremely steep and the climbing chains secured in these sections are said to have been placed by Alexander the Great (365-323 BC), though there is no evidence that he made it this far south on his Asia travels. Atop the peak is an oblong platform (74 x 24 feet) where stands a small Buddhist temple and the shrine of Saman with the strange footprint. Votive offerings are made here, especially of a coil of silver as long as the donor is tall, for recovery from sickness; and rain-water taken from the footprint is known to have a wonderful healing power. Adam's Peak is also called Samanalakande or the 'butterfly mountain' because of the myriads of small butterflies that fly from all over the island to die upon the sacred mountain.

http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/siwa/milk.gif
What is it

On Thursday 21 September 1995 at a Hindu Temple in New Delhi, when worshippers placed an offering of milk to a statue of the Indian elephant-headed deity Ganesha, to their shock, the statue started to drink their milk from their spoons! And of course, the word spread from one place to another swiftly, but instead of people having it deemed as a joke, it was found that nearly all across Asia, people witnessed the Hindu statues of deities sucking milk from the spoons. The weirdest thing was that soon, even in North America and Africa was this phenomena recorded too! Television reports and news kept showing images of these deities sucking milk from people's hands and spoon. They just kept drinking! It was also said that in a temple in Hong Kong, one such deity even drank 20 litres of milk! But the phenomena ended as swiftly as it had begun, and by the next day, 22 September, the idols worldwide somehow all stopped drinking milk! People has seen it as a miracle, but this had left many baffled.

What is believed to have happened

To many Hindu worshippers and others, this was the result of the deities coming down from Heaven to accept the worshippers offerings, by drinking the milk. Many said that it was a day when God finally realised that they had to accept the offerings, and thus, the statues of these deities started sucking up the milk. Worshippers just believed it was a miracle, and to many, this convinced them that God did exist.

What scientists believed

Scientists worldwide deemed it as simple theory of science, that of the milk was actually being absorbed by the statues, and not "sucked". They believed that what actually happened was that the molecules in the marble's rough surface created a capillary channel, which sucks in the droplets quite rapidly. These then spread into a very thin layer which is difficult to see.

Conclusion

To many worshippers, this was the act of God, nothing to do with Science. But the scientists gave a reasonable scientific theory that could have answered the question of this miracle. But the scientists theory was well questioned when it was noted that even metal statues sucked milk! Also, it would not explain how the statues took in that great an amount of milk. Till today, just about 5 years since it happened, many are still baffled. No one has been able to give an answer, but it is still widely believed to be a work of wonder from the deities up there. What do you think?

LOCATION OF THE TEMPLE: Sri Natarajar Temple is situated at Chidhambaram of Cudallore district, Tamilnadu. This temple is dedicated to lord Shiva , and it is one among the panja boodha sthalams (sky).
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/siwa/chindabaram1.jpg

HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE: Rishi Madyandinar had a son. He, under the direction of his father, came to the forest of Thillai and worshipped the 'Lingam', which had appeared there. He usually got up early before daybreak to collect flowers with which to perform his pooja. One morning he could not collect the flowers early as it was dark and cloudy and he could not see the flowers. After daybreak he went to collect the flowers and found that the flowers had been polluted by the bees and was grief stricken.

Bhubaneswar
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/siwa/buvaneshvar.jpg
Bhubaneswar is the capital of Orissa and is said to once have had 7,000 temples. Now only a few hundred ancient temples remain. Most of the temples are located near the Bindu-sarovara Tank, about 2km south of the city center. They are all situated within a 3km (2 mile) area of one another. Lingaraja and Vital Duel temples are located west of the tank. Parasurameswar and Mukteswara temples are east of the tank.
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/siwa/Gour-Govinda-1v.jpg
Lingaraja Temple (11th century)
The Lingaraja Temple is one of the most impressive and beautiful temples in India. It is considered to be the pinnacle of Orissan temple architecture. The main tower is 55m (180 feet) high. The present temple was built between 1090 to 1104, but parts of the temple are over 1400 years old.
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/siwa/Lingaraja-1v.jpg
Tradition says that one should first visit this temple before going to Puri. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came here before going to Puri.

Non-Hindus are not permitted to enter the temple; and this rule is strictly enforced. There is a 6m (20 ft) high viewing platform along the northern wall of the temple, and from this vantage point you can get a good view of the temple compound.

http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/wayang/Lingaraja-2v.jpg
The presiding deity is the svayambhu linga, Hari-Hara Linga, which is half-Siva and half-Vishnu. He is also named Tribhuvaneswara, the "Lord of the three worlds." The linga of Lingaraja is an uncarved block of granite 2.5m (8 ft) in diameter raised 20cm (8 inches) above the ground. The Siva linga is bathed daily with water, milk, and bhang. There is a four-day chariot festival every March-April when Lingaraja is drawn on his chariot to the Rameswara Temple. There are also many other deities residing in this temple. In the northeast corner there is Parvati.
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/wayang/Lingaraja-3v.jpg
Just nearby the Lingaraja Temple is Bindu-sarovara Tank. It is said that Lord Siva established this tank as a place of pilgrimage by bringing water from all the holy places. Taking bath here and drinking the water of this lake is said to cure stomach diseases. It is located immediately next to the Lingaraja Temple. A pilgrimage to Bhubaneswar should be begun by bathing at this spot. The Lingaraja deity is brought to the pavilion in the middle of the tank and ritually bathed during the annual Car Festival (Ashokastami). The best time to visit is around sunrise. Sri Chaitanya took bath in this lake when he first came from Bengal to Puri.

On the eastern bank is the Ananta Vasudeva Temple, dedicated to Krishna and Balarama.

Mukteswara Temple
Built in the late 10th century, this small, elegant temple has been described as the most exquisitely ornamented temple in Bhubaneswar. Mukteswara means "the Lord who bestows freedom through yoga."
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/wayang/Mukteswara-1v.jpg
It has an 11m (35 ft) high tower. The sandstone carvings are this temple's most notable feature. It is known for its decorative gateway, carved dwarves around the windows, and intricate motif carvings of a smiling lion with beaded tassels in its mouth. On the gate in front of the main entrance is a decorative gateway (torana) complete with two reclining female figures.

The small Marichi Kund, between the Mukteswara Temple and the road, is known to cure infertility in women. It is a pleasant place to sit for awhile.

It is full of intricate carvings and is the best preserved and most impressive of the city's early temples. It has carvings of elephant and horse processions and all the windows are carved. On the east wall of the tower there is an interesting carving of the marriage of Siva and Parvati.
http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/wayang/Same1v.jpg
In the corner of the courtyard is the Sahasra-linga, 1,000 small lingas joined together. This temple is close to the Bhubaneswar-Puri road, on the east side of Bindu-sarovara, northeast of the Lingaraja temple.

http://usera.imagecave.com/hambaallah/wayang/kalitemple4.jpg

Dakshineswar Kali Temple is situated alongside the Vivekananda Bridge north of Calcutta, about 20 km. from BBD Bagh. It is famous for its association - with Ramkrishna who achieved spiritual vision here. This temple was built by Rani Rashmoni in 1847.

Ramakrishna served as temple's head priest. From the first days of his service in the shrine of the goddess Kali, he was filled with a rare form of love for the Goddess known in Hinduism as maha-bhava. Worshiping in front of the statue of Kali, Ramakrishna would be overcome with such ecstatic love for the deity that he would fall to the ground and immersed in spiritual trance, lose all consciousness of the external world. Ramakrishna fully realized the infinite and all-inclusive nature of the divine.

mengenai statue yang sucking the milk..


What scientists believed

Scientists worldwide deemed it as simple theory of science, that of the milk was actually being absorbed by the statues, and not "sucked". They believed that what actually happened was that the molecules in the marble's rough surface created a capillary channel, which sucks in the droplets quite rapidly. These then spread into a very thin layer which is difficult to see.



Menurut gue sih ada benernya...soalnya memang ada tipe material yang kayak gitu...
Kalau disingapur tuh ada maenan...yang bentuknya patung (mirip kayak modelnya patung bhiksu cilik ikyu san gitu) yang kalau kita tuangin teh dikepalanya atau kita rendem dalam air,... nanti dia bisa pipis....

Tapi gue gak tahu juga sih...soalnya belon pernah liat secara langsung...

Kalau kayak candi borobudur, atau candi candi lainnya yang terbuat dari batu memang bisa menyerap cairan kayak air....

Tapi kalau kena panas matahari airnya ya nguap juga

anyway...it's not something buat diperdebatkan... toh kepercayaan itu dari dalam sifatnya...:)

Itu tuh gbr biarawan Budha lg brdoa di hdpn Tapak Kaki di Adam's Peak

Ananda Temple is a Buddhist temple built in 1091 during the reign of King Kyanzittha. It is located in Bagan, Myanmar. The name Ananda comes from the name of Buddha's cousin, although it was once known as Ananta Temple, coming from the phrase ananta pinya, which translates as 'endless wisdom'. The temple adapted Indian architectural styles. The temple houses four standing Buddhas, which are adorned with gold leaf, with each facing a direction, from north to south. The temple itself is shaped similar to a cross, with several terraces leading to the top, which terminates with a small pagoda and an umbrella (hti). Along the sides of the terraces and the base of the temple are terra cotta tiles illustrating scenes from the Jataka. Also, there is a shrine of Kyanzittha and Shin Arahan.

The temple is also home to an annual festival that is held during the month of Pyahto (December to January).

Let's fly to France
Abbey of Conque

http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/france/images/abbey-conque-500.jpg

When one first views the steep, rocky, and thickly wooded mountain side upon which the abbey of Conques is perched, the unsuitability of the location for any sort of building, human habitation, or commercial activity is immediately apparent. Yet in this remote Auvergene valley stands one of medieval France's most visited pilgrimage shrines.

Why did this particular location become such a celebrated shrine? Church authorities explain that Conques gained renown as a major stopping place along one of the four principal routes leading to Santiago de Compostela, because of the 12th century Benedictine abbey that housed the relics of St. Foy. Conques, however, had been venerated as a sacred place long before relic veneration and pilgrimages became popular in the 9th to 15th centuries. Preceding the Benedictines' arrival in 819 AD, a Carolingian church had stood for many years, and prior to that time the site was considered holy by people dwelling in the local forests. During medieval times, Conques was known to be a particularly miraculous place and the explanation given to the Christian pilgrims was that the miracles were caused by the relics of St. Foy. A bit of detective work concerning the history of St. Foy reveals, however, that this person certainly did not have enough time to lead the life of a saint. Foy was a small girl child, living in Asia Minor (present day Turkey), who was burnt as a Christian in 303 AD and therefore became classified as a martyr of Christ. There are neither stories concerning the child which give any evidence of a saintly life (such as we find with St. Francis) nor any reason that her relics would have spiritual powers. Furthermore the relics of Foy, like so many others in medieval times, are of dubious authenticity.

Writing in The Travelers Key to Medieval France, John James tells an interesting story concerning the monastery’s acquisition of the relics at a gathering of the monks of Conque

"the monk Armisdus was chosen to visit Agen, where the bones of Saint Foy lay. On arrival he was asked to join the community. He was in no hurry; it took him ten years to gain their confidence. Patiently and, one hopes, not a little guiltily, he waited until he had been appointed guardian of the church's treasures, including the saint's tomb. His opportunity came one night when he was left alone in the church. He broke into the tomb, stole the bones, and on a horse which had been prepared for the occasion, rushed the relics to Conques. The enraged Agen monks pursued, but the triumphant thief reached home with his treasure, and it was received with great rejoicing."

While the current author believes that certain sacred objects, such as relics of saintly persons or items used for centuries of ceremony, do indeed have a power or mysterious energy that contributes to the occurrence of miraculous phenomena, this does not seem to be the explanation for the power of Conques. The site was holy ground long before the arrival of Christianity and to the living earth we must look for the origins of sanctity.

Daripada yg laen ketularan pengetahuan ttg area 51.. Jgn sampe ky gw :nangis:,, gtu aj gatau :p

Area 51 is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a six by ten mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the United States government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid 1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake ned for landings.

Between December 1988 and April 1989, the area known as Groom Lake, on the Nellis Air Force Range in central Nevada became unusually popular. The now infamous Area 51 and especially the Groom and Papoose dry lake beds were relatively unknown terms to the mainstream community from the mid 1970's to 1989. The scientific circles knew it as "Dreamland" or as the Skunkworks or simply as Groom Lake

Groom Lake is America's traditional testing ground for black budget aircraft before they are publicly acknowledged. The facility and surrounding areas are also associated with UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on KLAS-TV Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51.

AREA 51

http://americantruthaz1.tripod.com/images/area%2051.jpg



"Area 51" is a part of an off-limits military base near Groom Dry Lake in Nevada. UFO'ers are sure it is used to hide aliens from us. The state of Nevada recently designated a barren 98-mile stretch of Route 375, which runs near Area 51, as the Extraterrestrial Highway. Such a move is no doubt proof of a government attempt to throw us off the track and think there is not a cover-up when there is one. This is a cover-up of the cover-up, typical of government agencies when dealing with sensitive information regarding UFOs and aliens.

Even skeptics don't doubt that something secret is going on in Area 51. And what is going on may be more sinister than building secret aircraft or developing new weapons. "Sixty Minutes" did a segment where Leslie Stahl suggested that Area 51 might be an illegal dumping ground for toxic substances. If so, Area 51 might turn out to be hazardous to your health in more ways than one. Several former workers at Area 51 and widows of former workers have filed lawsuits against the government for injuries or death resulting from illegal hazardous waste practices. Imagine what it must be like to work in a Black World operation where you can be greased at the drop of a hat with no questions asked. They find what's left of your corpse in the desert after the vultures are through with it and the local police are urged to let it ride by some very powerful people. End of story.

In the final analysis of the UFO phenomenon with regard to Area 51, only one thing can be said that all parties are in agreement with.

Tambahan lagi nehh

Area 51, also known as Groom Lake, is a secret military facility about 90 miles north of Las Vegas. The number refers to a 6-by-10-mile block of land, at the center of which is a large air base the government will not discuss. The site was selected in the mid-1950s for testing of the U-2 spyplane, due to its remoteness, proximity to existing facilities and presence of a dry lake bed for landings.

Several high-tech super-secret planes were developed and tested here, including the U-2, SR-71 Blackbird and the F-117 Stealth Fighter . More recent projects include the rumored high speed high altitude "Aurora", various unmanned planes (UAVs) and a new stealth plane to replace the F-117.

Groom Lake is America's traditional testing ground for "black budget" aircraft before they are publicly acknowledged. The facility and surrounding areas are also associated -- with varying levels of credibility with UFO and conspiracy stories. In 1989, Bob Lazar claimed on a Las Vegas television station that he had worked with alien spacecraft at Papoose Lake, south of Area 51. Since then, "Area 51" has become a popular symbol for the alleged U.S. Government UFO cover-up.

An ancient Zoroastrian temple stands near Baku, Azerbaijan.

Based on the divine visions and revelations of Zoroaster, a Persian prophet of the sixth century B.C., this ancient one-god religion has, over the years, influenced basic ideas in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These basic concepts include good and evil, heaven and hell, and the existence of a supreme being.

The three wise men, or Magi, of the Christian Bible were probably Zoroastrian: Magi means "priest" in Avestan, the Zoroastrian sacred language.

The state religion of ancient Persia, Zoroastrianism is still practiced by followers in Iran, India, and North America. Sacred rituals and rites of passage are important for binding together the small Zoroastrian communities around the world, as is their holy book, the Avesta.

Central to this religion is the belief that good and evil are at war with each other, but good will ultimately prevail. It is imperative for each Zoroastrian to aid the victory by practicing good words, good deeds, and good thoughts. Zoroastrians have the reputation among other Middle Easterners for being honest and forthright.

All ritual observances revolve around fire. Zoroastrian temples maintain a sacred fire that must be ritually attended and never allowed to go out.

To avoid polluting the sacred elements of earth and fire, Zoroastrians neither bury nor cremate their dead. In the past, when such practices were permitted, Zoroastrians placed their dead on a stone platform atop a mountain. On this "tower of silence," the body gradually deteriorated as it was subjected to wind, sun, and animals. Today, to balance the old way with modern life, a metal stretcher is enclosed in cement and placed in a cemetery.

With an estimated population of 220,000 to 250,000 worldwide, Zoroastrians tend to be well educated, which is their way of being prepared for times of sudden political and social change.

The majority resides in Iran as a minority group among Muslims. Iranian Zoroastrians speak standard Persian (Farsi) and their own dialect of Persian. While Zoroastrians in Iran have been a marginalized group, Iranians of all faiths hold romantic ideas about them as bearers of the country's original religion and culture. In the early 11th century groups of Zoroastrians immigrated to India. Now called Parsis, most of these people reside in Mumbai.

The Bhairawa is one of the terrible and revenge-thirsty forms of Shiva. While the famous figure of the black Bhairawas a little is further above accessible always, the white Bhairawa behind a large lattice hidden only to certain celebrations is normally opened the lattice and the mask with flowers is decorated. Into its mouth with the dreadful reisszaehnen a pipe is put, from which a completely thin jet beer or Roksi (liquor) comes. No miracles that the men line up around a few drop of the geweihten and leckeren liquid starting from to wars. If they do not have the luck to go past with so a celebration then a view is worthwhile itself nevertheless by the wood network of the lattice.

The present Bo tree is a direct descendent of the original tree that Buddha sat under in meditation when he became enlightened.

Near the Ashoka Pillar and Maya Devi pond is a small temple that has a slab of rock with the scene of Buddha’s birth carved on it. It shows Maya Devi holding onto a tree while Buddha is emerging from her side. Some say the rock has Buddha’s footprint on it. Modern excavations have discovered the foundations of an old monastery, the ruins of which you can see nearby.

The Japanese Peace Pagoda is on the outskirts of town. It is a lovely pagoda, with a different form of Buddha facing in each of the four directions. There is a small monastery just across from it. Then we can visit some of the other newer temples and monasteries in the vicinity. These often represent the different Buddhist countries, from Thailand, China, Japan, or Tibet.

One of the main points of interest here is the kund or pond where Buddha’s mother, Maya Devi, bathed before she gave birth to Buddha, and where ablutions were performed after his birth. There is also a Tibetan Buddhist monastery that you can visit that has beautiful wall murals and a huge image of Buddha. There are some joyful and young Buddhist monks that also stay here.

Bodhgaya, the Place of Buddha's Enlightenment

Bodhgaya is 13 km from Gaya and is reached by taking a ride a bus or minibus from Gaya. Bodhgaya is one of the most sacred places of Buddhism for it was here that Buddha became enlightened and where Buddhism really began. Many Buddhists as well as Hindus come here from all over the world. The most important place in this very small town is the Mahabodhi temple which has a pyramidal tower rising 180 feet high, situated next to the Bo tree. Bodhgaya is probably the most important of the holy places connected with Buddha because of it being where he became enlightened and where Buddhism began.

On the north side of the temple is a platform marking where Buddha walked in meditation. It has lotus markings on it which is said to show where he stepped during his walk.

Lawang Sewu tuh dlu dibangun taun 1908-an, yang dikerjakan oleh arsitek Belanda Profesor Klinkkaner dan Quendaag. Taun 1920, gedung ini mulai dipakai sebagai kantor pusat Nederlandsch Indische Spoor-weg Maatschapij (NIS), sebuah maskapai atau perusahaan kereta api pertama di Indonesia yang berdiri taun 1864.

Saat meletus Pertempuran Lima Hari di Semarang, 14-18 Agustus 1945, Lawang Sewu dan sekitarnya menjadi pusat pertempuran antara laskar Indonesia dan tentara Jepang. Korban pun berguguran. Untuk memeringati mereka, di sebelah kiri pintu masuk (gerbang) didirikan sebuah tugu peringatan bertuliskan nama para pejuang Indonesia yang gugur. (Setan2 yg suka say cheese di dpn kamera uji nyali kebanyakan korban perang ini loh..)

Sayangnya, dari pihak Jepang tak diizinkan membangun tugu atau monumen serupa
