Grim Reaper, the Life-Taker

http://www.mysticalblaze.com/GrimReaper.gif

A loved one is dying. The sick room is full of machinery droning on endlessly with a kind of white noise. The attendant has dozed off, but suddenly awakens, and in the dim morning light notices a figure standing near the dying person. Startled and frightened, the attendant is frozen in awe. The figure is wearing a long, dark, flowing robe, much like the robes worn by ancient monks, but no face or extremities can be seen. It seems to be in a meditation-type state. The dying person takes a few labored breaths, and finally exhales for the last time. At that moment, the figure is gone.....

Another encounter with the most universally recognized ghost or spirit entity of all time, the Grim Reaper - the Angel of Death - a frequent apparition experienced by virtually every culture and religion since Biblical times.

Though descriptions vary somewhat, the basic entity is the same - a tall figure felt to be male wearing a long monks robe tied by rope at the waist, sometimes with a sickle or scythe, and sometimes without. A skeleton-like face is occasionally reported, but more often there is no discernable face and no visible extremities. Though there are usually no facial features, the face area is often described as being the darkest dark - almost a black abyss - sometimes with sparkling or shining areas where the eyes should be. When it moves, it seemingly glides rather than striding or walking, and there are very few reports of it talking that we can find, though the people who are aware of it do get the sense that it is present to somehow function in the transitional stage of death. Its universal depiction as a harbinger of death is not surprising then, considering it appears most often where there is an imminent death.

Curiously, we can find few reports of people who have experienced near death who have related seeing this particular apparition at their moment of death. Most see the bright light, rise above their bodies, see some sort of tunnel, and communicate with various entities, but there are basically no reports that we have found of them seeing this particular shrouded figure. Therefore, we can only theorize that it manifests not only to somehow transition the dying - whether they are aware of it or not - but also to send some sort of signal or message to the living observers - otherwise, why would it materialize at all?

In this vein, not all sightings appear to result in the death of a close relative or friend, raising the possibility that maybe the appearance in and of itself is enough to heighten the awareness of the observer, thereby averting impending disaster whether or not the observer is even aware of the process. This might help explain instances in which people observe the apparition, but nothing else happens, as far as they know. Alternatively, maybe something DOES happen, but to someone from their past, or someone they are connected to in a spiritual sense that is not part of their everyday lives.

So should we fear the reaper? Hell yeah, we should fear the reaper, unless we have a death wish. He's not there to party, that's for sure. But maybe at some point someone will keep their wits about them long enough to find out what this fascinating phenomena is really doing......

ampe saat ini blom ad yg taw ttg keberadaan asli dr grim reaper..tp kepercayaan yg kuat mengakibatkan grim reaper dijuluki sbg Life-taker ato Life-stealer di barat sonoh..

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).

A Hellenistic gargoyle, representing a comical cook-slave. Ai Khanoum, Afghanistan, 2nd century BCE.

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:

Faces with multiple smaller figures and one large figure, or one figure with mouth agape and protruding tongue
Symbolizes the insignificance of the individual and how vulnerable we are to larger powers.

Detached heads
A real practice of the Celts, who were head hunters. They worshiped the heads they severed and believed these heads held supernatural powers.

Ambiguous gender and species
Specimens again date back to the Pagans. The Pagan religions existed to overcome chaos and peril. These Gargoyles are representative of the fear of the unknown. This type of Gargoyle is now known as "Grotesque."

Head entwined with branches and leaves
A branch coming out of the mouth or surrounding the head was a sign of divinity to the Celts. The Druids often depicted oak leaves, as the oak was sacred to them. This is often referred to as the "Green Man" today.

Sexual Themes
Used by the Pagan religions as symbols of fertility. If used on outside walls, they were thought to discourage evil. Again, we go back to the universal fear of sexuality that exists even today.

13 Inch tailed Man, Chandre Oram - India
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a135_tail.jpg

With a 13-inch tail, Chandre Oram, a tea-estate worker, has become quite an object of devotion in his native Alipurduar, West Bengal and believes that Hanuman is manifest in him. "I was born on Ram Navami (birthday of Lord Ram). People have a lot of faith in me - they get cured of severe ailments when they touch my tail. I believe I can do a lot of good to those who come to me with devotion," says the man, before whom thousands of people queue up each day to seek blessings. In a corner of the courtyard of his home, Oram has set up a small Hanuman temple, where he receives offerings on Ram Navami, which he later offers to the deity.

However, because of the tail, Oram has found it difficult to get a bride. "Almost 20 women have turned down marriage proposals. They see me and agree to a match. But as soon as I turn around, they see my tail and leave. But I have decided I will marry the woman who accepts me and my tail. Or else, I'll remain a bachelor like Hanuman," he said.

Oram's family is proud of his tail and has turned down offers from doctors for its removal by surgery. "He will not survive without his tail. It has become part of his being, his existence," said Rekha, his sister. Doctors say that true tails are rare. But they are located in the coccygeal end of the vertebral column whereas Oram's tail shoots out from the lumbar region. "The coccyx is a vestige in humans and we stopped growing tails from that region a long time ago when we evolved from monkeys. Oram's case seems an aberration, an offshoot of a congenital defect," said eminent surgeon Dr B Ramana. The medical community reads the monkey man's case as a spina bifida -- a defect in the bone of the spine covered by a hole with lots of hair covering it.

Cyclop Baby, unidentified baby - India
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a135_cyclop.jpg

On 2006, this baby was born with a only one eye in India. Medical staff who helped deliver the child believe that the child's condition was caused by an experimental anti-cancer drug. Another cause written in the report by the hospital was that it could also be the result of a chromosomal disorder. The child was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder, known as cyclopia. She was born with a single eye in the center of her forehead, no nose and her brain fused into a single hemisphere. With such severe deformities, it was a miracle that the girl survived even a few minutes after delivery. The baby died days later.

Frog like baby, unidentified baby - India
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a135_frog.jpg

On 2006, this bizarre-looking baby was born in Charikot, the headquarters of Dolakha district, attracting a huge number of onlookers to witness the astonishing sight.

The neck-less baby with its head almost totally sunk into the upper part of the body and with extraordinarily large eyeballs literally popping out of the eye-sockets, was born to Nir Bahadur Karki and Suntali Karki at the Gaurishnkar Hospital in Charikot. The Karki couple is a permanent resident of Dolakha's Bhirkot VDC.

The bizarre baby, however, died after half an hour of its birth, Suntali, the mother, informed. It was taken to the hospital after its death. The news about such a baby being brought to the hospital spread like wildfire and there were hundreds gathered at the hospital to have a look. The police had to be deployed to control the crowd.

The baby weighed 2kg at birth and was born after the normal nine-month gestation period. Suntali, already a mother of two normal daughters, was not suffering from any illness during the pregnancy. Nir Bahadur, the father, says he does not feel any remorse for the newly-born baby's death. "I am happy that nothing happened to my wife," he said.

Feet facing backwards, Wang Fang - China
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a135_feetsback.jpg

Wang Fang, 27, of Chongqing city in China, was born with her feet facing the wrong way. She has learned to live with her condition without problems and recently refused a disability pension by being classified as disabled. "I can run faster than most of my friends and have a regular job as a waitress in the family restaurant. There is no reason to class me as disabled."

World's largest hand, Lui Hua - China
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a135_hand.jpg

Lui Hua suffers from a rare condition known as macrodactyly. When he was hospitalized in Shanghai on July 2007, his left thumb measured 10.2 inches and his index finger measured close to 12. On July 20 surgeons undertook a seven-hour operation to reduce the size of Liu's fingers and thumb. Doctors removed 11 pounds of flesh and bone in the procedure. A second surgery is scheduled to take place. Enlarged limbs can be caused by a number of medical conditions. Lymphedema is perhaps the most common cause and results in some extraordinarily enlarged limbs.

Nipple on the foot, unindentified 22 year old woman - Brazil
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a135_nipple.jpg

The bizarre paper (http://dermatology.cdlib.org/124/case_presentations/pseudomamma/conde.html) describing the case reads: "A 22-year-old woman sought medical care for a lesion in the plantar region of her left foot, a well-formed nipple surrounded by areola and hair. Microscopic examination of the dermis showed hair follicles, eccrine glands, and sebaceous glands. Fat tissue was noted at the base of the lesion. Clinical and histopathologic findings were consistent with the diagnosis of supernumerary breast tissue, also known as pseudomamma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of supernumerary breast tissue on the foot."

Nama Jalan yg Aneh-aneh
Baldwin Street (New Zealand)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a131_baldwin.jpg
Jalan tercuram di dunia

Baldwin Street, in a quiet suburban part of New Zealand's southern city of Dunedin, is reputed to be the world's steepest street. It is located in the suburb of North East Valley, 3.5 kilometres northeast of Dunedin's city centre.

A short straight street of some 350 metres length, Baldwin Street runs east from the valley of the Lindsay Creek up the side of Signal Hill. Its lower reaches are of only moderate steepness, and the surface is asphalt, but the upper reaches of this cul-de-sac are far steeper, and surfaced in concrete, for ease of maintenance (tar seal would flow down the slope on a warm day) and for safety in Dunedin's frosty winters. At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is approximately 1:2.86 (19° or 35%) - that is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the elevation rises by 1 metre. The street's steepness was unintentional. As with many other parts of Dunedin, and indeed New Zealand, streets were laid out in a grid pattern with no consideration for the terrain, usually by planners in London.

Ebenezer Place (Scotland)

Jalan terpendek di dunia

Ebenezer Place, in Wick, Caithness, Scotland, is credited as being the world's shortest street in the Guinness Book of Records at 2.06m (6' 9"). There is a single address on the street, 1 Ebenezer Place, which was constructed in 1883. The owner of the building, a hotel at the time, was instructed to paint a name on the shortest side of the hotel. It was officially declared a street in 1887.

Parliament Street (Exeter, England)

Jalan tersempit di dunia.. di indo sih yg kek gini namanya 'gang'.. ada banyak ah :o

Parliament Street is a 50m long street in Exeter, England, which links the High Street to Waterbeer Lane and dates from the 14th century. It was formerly called Small Lane and was renamed when Parliament was derided by the city council for passing the 1832 Reform Bill. The street is approximately 1.2m (45") at its widest and less than 0.64m (25") at its narrowest, which makes it, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the world's narrowest street.

Many years later, in 1981, the two cousins confessed that the fairies in four of the pictures were, in fact, paper cutouts from this book. They had held the fairies in place with hatpins. But they insisted that one of the photographs—the one of the fairy sunbath that contained no people in it—was real.

This is a true story from Fairbanks, Alaska. Apparently some wire was laying loose on the ground and when workers farther down the line stretched the line they felt a problem. The backtracked and found this full-size moose hanging 50 feet in the air. Apparently the curious moose had tossed the wires with his antlers and become tangled. The moose was still alive when he was found hangin, but was later killed by Game officials because they feared a tranquilizer would kill the already stressed moose and ruin the meat and they couldn't untangle the wires without sedation.

Lucifer - The Cursed Angel

Lucifer dalam Alkitab adalah malaikat pemimpin puji-pujian di sorga. Ia diciptakan oleh Allah. Ia terkenal karena keindahannya dan kemegahannya. Hal ini membuatnya sombong dan ingin dipuja, menjadi sama seperti Allah. Karena pemberontakannya ini, ia dilemparkan oleh Allah ke bumi. Ia berhasil merekrut sepertiga dari berlaksa-laksa (laksa: puluhan ribu) malaikat di surga bersamanya. Sejak ia jatuh dalam dosa, ia menjadi tuan dari kegelapan, kekacauan, ketidakteraturan, kerusakan, dsb. Lucifer dalam kitab Kejadian menggunakan seekor ular untuk menjatuhkan Adam dan Hawa ke dalam dosa. Ia adalah pendusta dan bapa (sumber) dari segala dusta dan kebohongan (Yoh 8:44). Kedatangan Yesus ke dunia telah menebus manusia dari dosa dan mengalahkan Lucifer. Ia dilucuti, dan sekarang mengandalkan tipu muslihat dan kelicikannya untuk membinasakan manusia. Pada akhirnya nasibnya akan sangat mengerikan: dilemparkan ke dalam lautan api dan belerang dan disiksa selama-lamanya (Wahyu 20:10). Malaikat lainnya adalah Gabriel dan Mikhael/michael.

Pandangan gereja

Sebetulnya Michael dan Lucifer sederajat. Mereka berdua adalah malaikat yang paling agung dari semua malaikat di surga. Namun Lucifer sering berbuat baik terhadap malaikat lainnya sehingga waktu itu dibandingkan Michael dia lebih banyak dipuji-puji malaikat lain .

Lucifer menjadi serakah. Dia berhasil merekut sepertiga dari berpuluhribu malaikat di surga dan berniat untuk melawan Allah dan ingin meninggikan derajatnya dengan Allah. Dalam buku paradise lost, Michael sebetulnya tidak ingin berperang untuk hal ini dan ia hanya melemahkan hati Lucifer yang sudah kacau balau, namun itu bisa dipertimbangkan sebagai perang juga. Dalam peperangan itu tak ada yang menang. Allah kemudian melempar Lucifer dan pengikutnya ke Bumi yang masih kosong belum tercipta sempurna karena hal ini.

Pada saat itu Lucifer berjanji, dia akan membuat ciptaanNya berlutut dihadapannya.

Lalu Allah menurunkan [Manusia] ke bumi, dengan maksud tersembunyi menyadarkan lucifer bahwa manusia yang derajatnya yang lebih rendah bisa lebih mulia dari Lucifer. Walaupun dalam beberapa hal bisa disebut gagal.

Peran Lebih Jauh Lucifer

Menurut tradisi Kristen,Lucifer bukan malaikat biasa, ia juga telah membinasakan manusia, salah satu contohnya seperti menggerakkan Antikristus dan gereja setan dan Manusia dibuatnya seperti Gila dan berlutut dihadapannya.

Setelah kejatuhannya, Lucifer mendirikan kerajaannya di perut bumi, atau neraka. Salah satu pembantu setianya, Mammon, menemukan logam neraka yang dengannya Lucifer membangun ibukotanya, Pandemonium. Satu slogan yang terkenal berkaitan dengan Lucifer adalah "lebih baik di neraka sebagai penguasa daripada di sorga tapi melayani".

Selanjutnya Lucifer bersatu dengan Lilith, iblis betina, yang sebenarnya istri pertama Adam. Dari penyatuan Lucifer dan Lilith ini lahirlah jutaan iblis-iblis yang mengganggu manusia.
Lucifer juga dikenal sebagai Setan, Penguasa Neraka, Sammael, Ular Tua, dan Iblis.

Apa Kata Mereka?

Yesaya 14:12,

LAI TB : Wah, engkau sudah jatuh dari langit, hai Bintang Timur, putera Fajar, engkau sudah dipecahkan dan jatuh ke bumi, hai yang mengalahkan bangsa-bangsa!" Hebrew, אֵיךְ נָפַלְתָּ מִשָּׁמַיִם הֵילֵל בֶּן־שָׁחַר נִגְדַּעְתָּ לָאָרֶץ חֹולֵשׁ עַל־גֹּויִֽם׃ Translit Interlinear : 'ÊYKH {wahai} NÂFALETÂ {engkau jatuh} MISYÂMAYIM {dari langit} HÊYLÊY {bintang timur} BEN-SYÂKHAR {anak fajar} NIGEDA'ETÂ {engkau dipotong} LÂ'ÂRETS {ke bumi} KHÕLÊSY {engkau mengalahkan} 'AL-GÕYIM {atas bangsa-bangsa}.

Kata "Lucifer" digunakan oleh Jerome di abad keempat ketika menerjemahkan Vulgata (Alkitab Latin). Ungkapan Ibrani "HEYLEL BEN-SYAKHAR"; "HEYLEL" adalah kata Ibrani untuk "bintang Timur" alias planet Venus, sedangkan "BEN-SYAKHAR" harfiah "anak (putra) Fajar".


Latin's Vulgate,"quomodo cecidisti de caelo lucifer qui mane oriebaris corruisti in terram qui vulnerabas gentes".
Kata Lucifer muncul dalam Alkitab Terjemahan seperti King James Version/ Douay Rheims/ Darby , mungkin diserap dari Alkitab Latin (Vulgata).


King James Version,"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"


Douay Rheims,How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?


Darby,How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou art cut down to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations!

Occultism - Permaisuri Lucifer
~Kesaksian : Part 1~


Terbukanya Celah Kegelapan

Pada suatu hari, seorang paranormal, datang berkunjung ke rumah Pak Bambang Prasetyo, ayah Lala. Paranormal yang adalah tetangga Lala itu mengatakan bahwa ada sesuatu yang khusus pada Lala, kesaktian supranatural dari Kakek Lala akan turun kepada Lala, anak ke-2 dari 2 bersaudara itu. "Ketika Paranormal itu meminta Lala untuk berpuasa, saya pikir itu bukanlah sesuatu yang berbahaya buat anak saya," ujar Pak Bambang, yang sebelum menikah dengan Ibu Annie memeluk agama Islam. Lala pun mulai berpuasa. Ia menerima anjuran itu. Sang paranormal berkata bahwa ilmu yang Lala miliki bisa digunakan untuk kebaikan dan menolong banyak orang. Salah satunya menyembuhkan orang sakit. Meskipun masih ragu, namun Lala menurutinya. Paranormal itu menasihatkan Lala untuk hidup jujur, jangan curang dan berbuat tidak benar, sehingga Lala semakin tertarik. Bahkan ia menyampaikan pesan Kakek Lala supaya Lala rajin belajar. Lala juga percaya bahwa itu benar.

Kejadian Supranatural

Satu hari setelah berpuasa dan mengikuti ritual yang disarankan, Lala bisa melihat dan berbicara dengan arwah yang sudah mati. Arwah-arwah itu berwujud manusia dan sering mendatangi Lala sambil menitipkan pesan untuk keluarga yang mereka tinggalkan. Salah satu arwah berpesan kepada anak-anaknya supaya mereka segera berkunjung ke kuburannya. Kemudian Lala menyampaikannya.

Suatu ketika, Lala menyadari bahwa ia memiliki kemampuan untuk memindahkan barang apa pun tanpa menyentuhnya. Cukup dengan berkonsentrasi maka barang tersebut akan bergerak ke mana pun Lala kehendaki. Bahkan orang sakit dapat Lala sembuhkan.

Memasuki tahun 2001, Lala bertemu dengan Sunan Gunung Jati dan Sunan Kali Jaga. Ia bisa pindah ke satu tempat ke tempat lain, muncul pada saat orang lain tidak melihatnya. Setiap kali mengisi bensin di sebuah pom bensin, kasirnya selalu berkata bahwa Lala sudah membayarnya. Padahal Lala tidak mengeluarkan uang sepeser pun. Kejadian-kejadian itu membuat Lala semakin disanjung oleh teman-temannya. Namun teman-teman Lala yang beragama Kristen tidak menunjukkan kekaguman kepada Lala, sehingga Lala merasakan suatu kejanggalan.

Suatu hari, sepulangnya Lala dari kampus, ia melihat seorang laki-laki berwajah tampan sedang duduk di atas tempat tidurnya. Mukanya telihat halus dan licin. Lala hendak memarahinya karena ia lancang masuk ke dalam kamar, namun mulut Lala tidak dapat mengeluarkan suara. Laki-laki itu menatap Lala dengan tatapan tajam lalu berkata, "Kamu adalah pilihanku, dan kamu akan kujadikan permaisuri. Akan kuberikan semua fasilitas yang kamu butuhkan, rumah, uang, mobil dan harta yang melimpah, sehingga kamu tidak merepotkan orang tuamu lagi." Lala sempat terbuai dengan tawaran itu. "Jika kamu menjadi permaisuriku maka kita berdua akan membuat Bandung berdarah," ucap laki-laki itu lagi. Lala mulai ketakutan dan sadar bahwa laki-laki ini bukan manusia. Mulutnya yang sempat terkunci tiba-tiba bisa berbicara kembali. "Saya tidak mau," jawab Lala. Wajah laki-laki misterius itu berubah menjadi tidak bersahabat, seperti penuh dengan amarah. Dalam sekejap mata tiba-tiba ia menghilang dari kamar Lala. Dan seiring kepergiannya, terasa guncangan hebat dalam kamar Lala sehingga membuat seisi kamarnya berantakan. Bahkan orang tua Lala yang sedang berada di lantai atas ikut merasakan guncangan tersebut. Perasaan Lala mulai tidak karuan. Ia mulai merasa khawatir dan bertanya dalam hati, apa yang sekiranya akan terjadi dalam hidupnya setelah kejadian ini.

Teror Akibat Dendam Amarah Lucifer

Lima hari berlalu dari kejadian itu, ternyata belum terjadi apa-apa dalam kehidupan Lala. Ia pergi ke kampus seperti biasanya. Ketika pulang kuliah, ia melihat keadaan di dalam mobilnya berantakan. Tiba-tiba saat ia hendak masuk ke dalam mobil, pintu mobil Lala tertutup sendiri dan terbanting keras sehingga menjepit tangan Lala. Lala menjerit kesakitan namun tidak ada satu orang pun yang mendengarnya. Setelah cukup lama menahan sakit, barulah pintu itu terbuka kembali dan Lala dilarikan oleh satpam kampusnya ke rumah sakit Bandung.

Keesokan harinya, di saat Lala sedang jalan-jalan dengan teman-temannya, sesuatu yang keras seperti memukul kepalanya. Teman-teman Lala tidak melihat apa-apa, bahkan menganggap Lala hanya bergurau. Sampai tiba-tiba wajah Lala lebam dan terluka dengan sendirinya. Hanya Lala sendiri yang merasakan pukulan-pukulan itu. Seperti ada roh halus yang sedang menghajarnya.

Di dalam kelas, ketika Lala sedang mengikuti pelajaran salah satu mata kuliahnya, tiba-tiba tubuh Lala terlihat seperti ada yang menarik, dan kursi yang Lala duduki melayang ke atas udara. Seisi kelas merinding ketakutan dan bingung dibuatnya. Teman-teman Lala mulai panik melihat kejadian itu. Dan untuk mengantisipasi kejadian serupa terulang kembali, mulai di hari selanjutnya mereka mengadakan doa bersama sebelum kuliah dimulai. "Kehidupan saya tidak tenang karena ‘mereka' selalu mengganggu saya," ujar Lala.

Gangguan belum berakhir. Sewaktu makan, Lala tidak bisa memasukkan makanan yang ada di sendok ke dalam mulutnya. Ketika ia mencoba dengan garpu, garpu itu melesak ke dalam mulutnya dan menusuk ke lidah. Teman-temannya berusaha membantu Lala menarik garpu itu, namun tidak berhasil. Darah mulai mengalir dari dalam mulut Lala. Akibat dari kejadian itu Lala tidak bisa makan selama satu minggu, badannya mulai terlihat kurus sehingga ia harus dilarikan ke rumah sakit untuk mendapatkan perawatan khusus.

Sesampainya di rumah sakit, jarum infus yang hendak dimasukkan ke pembuluh darah Lala sulit untuk dimasukkan. Dokter yang bertugas semakin dibuat heran ketika muncul tanda seperti simbol ‘X' berwarna merah di dahi Lala. Simbol itu seperti luka yang kering. Bahkan beberapa waktu kemudian muncul tulisan ‘SATAN' di tubuh Lala. "Saya dipermalukan sekali oleh Lucifer," ujar Lala.

Teror demi teror terus berdatangan. Semakin hari semakin aneh dan mengerikan. Tiba pada puncaknya ketika Lala sedang masuk ke dalam kamar mandi, ia menghilang seketika. Teman-temannya sempat terbelalak ketika mereka melihat kamar mandi dalam keadaan kosong. Karena sebelumnya mereka sempat melihat dengan jelas Lala masuk ke dalam situ. Akhirnya disebarkan berita kalau Lala hilang. Seorang petugas polisi menemukan Lala sedang berdiri di pinggir jalan. Kejadian itu terulang kembali pada hari berikutnya. Lala menghilang dan ia tiba-tiba sudah berada di pegunungan Ciwidey.

Suatu hari Lala melihat sosok iblis keluar masuk dalam tubuhnya. Perlahan penglihatannya mulai memudar dan semua yang dilihat Lala seperti buram. Pada akhirnya Lala tidak dapat melihat sama sekali. Semua serba gelap. Beberapa menit kemudian sebuah tangan yang besar terasa seperti mencekik leher Lala. Dan Lala menjadi bisu seketika itu juga. Di saat yang bersamaan, kaki Lala juga lumpuh. Kejadian itu terjadi pada bulan April 2002. Tidak sampai di situ saja. Iblis juga menyumbat pikiran Lala sehingga Lala menjadi amnesia dan tidak mengenali satu orang pun yang ada di dekatnya. Stres yang hebat mulai Lala alami. Ia merasa tidak memiliki pengharapan. Nilai-nilainya hancur dan teman-temannya satu per satu mulai pergi menjauhi dirinya.

Occultism - Permaisuri Lucifer
~Kesaksian : Part 2~

Pencobaan Bunuh Diri

Lima hari sudah Lala lewati dalam keadaan buta, bisu, lumpuh dan tidak mengenali suara-suara yang ia dengar. Pilihan yang terlintas dalam pikiran Lala hanya ada 2; menyerahkan diri kepada iblis atau bunuh diri. Karena sudah tidak kuat menahan penderitaan tersebut, Lala memutuskan untuk bunuh diri. Ia mencoba meraba-raba seisi kamarnya untuk mencari barang yang tajam supaya dapat menikam lehernya sendiri dan menghabisi nyawanya. Tetapi niat itu batal ketika seseorang masuk ke dalam kamarnya dan menggenggam tangan Lala. Orang itu menuliskan sesuatu di atas tangan Lala, "Ini mama." Dan lagi ia menuliskan sebuah kalimat, "Segala sesuatu indah pada waktu-Nya. Yesus sayang sama Lala." Hingga akhirnya Lala menemukan pilihan yang ke-3, yaitu menerima Yesus.

Mujizat Kesembuhan Terjadi Saat Pelepasan

Sementara itu, selain kedua orang tua Lala, ada banyak orang berdoa untuk Lala. Karyawan Maranatha di bagian pembukuan juga ikut berpuasa untuk Lala, bahkan mereka berdoa selama berjam-jam. Mereka berdoa agar Tuhan segera menolong dan mengasihani Lala. "Saya melihat suatu keindahan yang Tuhan perlihatkan. Rumah kami menjadi rumah doa," ucap Pak Bambang dengan wajah berseri-seri ketika memberikan kesaksian. Kebahagiaan terpancar dari mimik wajahnya yang tenang ketika ia mengingat kembali kejadian itu. Akhirnya mujizat kesembuhan terjadi. Doa orang benar besar kuasanya. Lala bisa mendengar dan berbicara lagi, meskipun ia belum bisa melihat.

Lala mulai ikut bernyanyi memuji dan menyembah Tuhan bersama teman-temannya. Dan secara ajaib perlahan-lahan warna hitam yang menutupi penglihatannya mulai berubah menjadi warna-warni. Lala bisa melihat kembali. "Saya mulai mengamati bahwa pujian dan penyembahan ada kuasa. Tuhan bertahta di atas puji-pujian," ujar Lala.

Kejadian Aneh Muncul Kembali

Beberapa hari kemudian, ketika sedang berada di dalam mobil bersama kedua orang tua dan pamannya, Lala tiba-tiba menghilang. Kejadian itu membuat mereka menjadi ngeri dan panik, karena Lala tidak lagi berada bersama mereka. Sedangkan Lala sendiri tiba-tiba sudah berada di dalam sebuah rumah besar yang aneh. Beberapa anak muda menyapa kehadiran Lala. Lala tidak dapat menggerakkan anggota tubuhnya. Kuasa iblis seperti sedang menguasainya. Lalu datang seseorang memasuki ruangan, seorang laki-laki yang dahulu pernah berada di dalam kamar Lala. "Mungkin kamu lupa sama saya, tapi hari ini kamu akan saya jadikan permaisuriku," ucap laki-laki itu. Dalam keadaan tidak berdaya, iblis membawa Lala ke pelaminannya. Anak-anak muda yang berada di dalam ruangan tersebut membaca sebuah mantera sambil mengiringi perjalanan Lala.

Lala dibawa oleh laki-laki itu dan diposisikan di sebelah dia sambil dirangkulnya. Semua orang yang ada di depan Lala memakai baju hitam, dan mereka terlihat sedang memakan daging mentah. Darah segar muncrat dari mulut mereka - mengotori lantai ruangan. Mulut mereka berlumuran darah. Lalu setelah itu anak-anak muda yang berada di dalam ruangan saling berhubungan seks.

Laki-laki misterius yang membawa Lala mulai berusaha menjamah tubuh Lala. Kemudian Lala melihat wajahnya berubah menjadi panjang. Tiba-tiba terbesit dalam pikiran Lala sebuah ajakan untuk menyebut nama Yesus. Lala pun berusaha berkata dalam hati, "Yesus tolong saya, walau saya lupa tentang Kau tapi saya tahu Kau mau menolong saya, Yesus tolong saya."

Akhirnya ketika mata Lala berkedip, ia sudah berada di tempat lain lagi. Terlihat banyak angkot-angkot lewat. Lala sedang berada di pinggir jalan. Ia tidak tahu mau pulang ke mana. Walaupun dalam keadaan bingung, namun Lala bersukacita. Ia meneriakkan nama Yesus sehingga orang-orang memperhatikannya.

Lala masih tidak tahu harus pulang ke mana. Ia kembali berseru kepada Yesus. Untuk pertama kali dalam hidupnya, Lala mendengar suara Tuhan yang lembut, "Anak-Ku, orang tuamu sekarang ada di Gereja Sidang Jemaat Allah, di Jalan Sudirman. Ketahuilah Aku senantiasa menyertai kamu."

Tuhan Yesus Mendatangi Lala

Setibanya di gereja itu, Lala bertemu kembali dengan pamannya. Mereka naik ke atas gedung gereja dan melihat kedua orang tua Lala sedang berdoa. Ibu Annie Prasetyo, ibu Lala, segera memeluk Lala sambil mengucapkan syukur dan terima kasih kepada Yesus.

Lalu mereka semua turun ke bawah. Saat itu Lala merasa sudah sangat putus asa, dan berkata kepada ibunya bahwa ia mau mati saja. Ibu Annie mencoba menenangkan Lala. Dalam keadaan letih yang luar biasa tiba-tiba Lala melihat Yesus hadir di hadapannya. Mata Lala menatap lurus ke suatu titik. Orang-orang di sekeliling Lala mulai menengking-nengking, karena mereka berpikir Lala kembali didatangi oleh roh jahat. Namun Lala tetap tenang. Yesus mendekati Lala dan berkata, "Anak-Ku, Aku mengasihi engkau." Dia lalu membuka tangan-Nya dan mengajak Lala untuk berdoa, "Bapa Kami yang di sorga..." Lala mengikutinya dan semua orang menangis.

Tak lama kemudian perut Lala dipelintir oleh iblis dan dipukul. Lala menjerit kesakitan. Tangan kiri Lala tetap dipegang oleh Tuhan. Suasana menjadi gaduh, namun Lala sempat mendengar suara Yesus, "Percayakah Kau kepadaku?" Lala menjawab, "Saya mau percaya asalkan saya sembuh dulu!" Hingga akhirnya Lala tidak sadarkan diri. Lau ia dibawa ke ruang doa. Peristiwa yang menggemparkan terjadi. Dalam keadaan tidak sadarkan diri, keluar suara lemah dari mulut Lala, "Ya Yesus, Engkau Anak Allah Yang Maha Tinggi. Engkau adalah Mesias yang sudah mengalahkan saya 2000 tahun yang lalu. Ampuni kami Tuhan." Setelah terbatuk keras, Lala mulai sadar. Tuhan Yesus kembali bertanya kepada Lala pertanyaan yang sama, dan Lala segera menjawabnya, "Saya percaya Tuhan!" Tangan Tuhan menjamah wajah Lala dan seketika itu ingatan Lala mulai pulih. Ia dapat mengenali semua orang yang ada di ruangan tersebut. "Maukah Engkau memikul salib bersama-Ku?" tanya Yesus lagi. "Ya, saya mau!" jawab Lala dengan tegas. "Sampai maranatha," ucap Yesus sebelum Ia pergi berlalu.

Kehidupan Lala dipulihkan dan diubah menjadi baru. Pak Bambang dan Ibu Annie kini mulai terlibat aktif dalam pelayanan. Mereka percaya, bahwa segala sesuatu terjadi untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Tuhan.

Lucifer - The Cursed Angel

Lucifer dalam Alkitab adalah malaikat pemimpin puji-pujian di sorga. Ia diciptakan oleh Allah. Ia terkenal karena keindahannya dan kemegahannya. Hal ini membuatnya sombong dan ingin dipuja, menjadi sama seperti Allah.

artikel yg ini lebih tepat kalu ditaroh di thread "The Angels". Semua ttg malaikat sedang dibahas disana.

ini adlh kesaksian nyata dr seorg gadis yg dipilih lucifer utk mnjadi prmaisuriny..namun dgn kasih Tuhan Yesus,,dia brhasil selamat dari maut tsb..slamat mendenga......eh...membaca..:D


karena ini adalah kesaksian iman dari umat agama ttt, lebih baik kalu sampeyan menempatkan posting ini di thread Agama (Kristen) [WG].

Aye juga pernah menampilkan artikel yang aroma agama-nya kuat (Kristen), tapi ada alasan tepat untuk itu. Kenapa? karena artikel yg gw tampilkan tsb berkaitan dengan artefak kristiani yang menjadi enigma contoh: Shroud of Turin (kaen kafan dari Turin), kain 'Tilma' dari penampakan Bunda Maria di Guadalupe, Jasad St. Bernadette Soubirous yang tidak membusuk, patung2 Maria yang mengeluarkan air mata darah, dll. Semua itu ada foto2 artefaknya dan kejadian2 itu amat misterius. Nah, kisah Lala yang sampeyan posting ini adalah kesaksian iman yang abstrak, gak ada foto2 nyata yang misterius gitu.. maka lebih baeklah jika ditaroh di tempatnya yang benar yaitu forum Kristen [WG]

tapi trims ya udah repot2 mau nyari artikel untuk thread ini. Viva [WG]!

Bizzare Political Candidates ^_^


Mitsuo Matayoshi (Japan)
The self-proclaimed Jesus Christ! :haha

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a115_mitsuo.jpg

Mitsuo Matayoshi is an eccentric Japanese politician, self-styled as "The only God Mitsuo Matayoshi Jesus Christ". After a life of preacher he has developed a particular concepts of Christianity, strongly influenced by Eschatology. In 1997 He established the World Economic Community Party based on his conviction that he is the God and Christ.

According to his program, he will do the Last Judgement as the Christ but the way to do this is totally within the current political system and its legitimacy. His first step as the Savior is to be appointed the prime minister of Japan. Then he will reform Japanese society and then the United Nations should offer him the honor of its General Secretary. Then Matayoshi Jesus will reign over the whole world with two legitimate authorities, not only religious but also political.

He has presented himself in many elections but he has not won yet. He has become well-known for his eccentric campaigns where he urges opponents to commit suicide by hara-kiri (disembowelment, note that he avoids the more polite seppuku) and says that he will cast them into Gehenna. Like most Japanese politicians, he campaigns in a single small regulation size mini-van fitted with oversized loudspeakers.

Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey (USA) :haha :kakaka:
The Satanic Vampire that ran for Governor in 2006, now runs for US President 2008

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a115_sharkey.jpg

Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey (1964 - ) is a self-proclaimed satanist, "sanguinary vampyre", Hecate Witch and professional boxer as well as wrestler (under the name Rocky "Hurricane" Flash) and perennial candidate for public office. He has filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for President of the United States twice as an Independent candidate (in 2004 and in 2008) and for Congress in at least three states -- his home State of New Jersey (1999-2000, Republican), Indiana (Reform Party, 2000) and Florida (2001-02, Republican). In 2006, he ran for governor of Minnesota.

Sharkey lived for a time in Florida under his wrestling name of Rocky Hurricane Flash. While there, he also used the assumed name Kathleen Sharkey and claimed that this Kathleen Sharkey was either his half-sister or his wife. He filed reports with the Federal Election Commission which listed Kathleen Sharkey as a member of his campaign staff. Eventually, a letter was filed with the Federal Election Commission, purportedly by Kathleen Sharkey, which implied that he had died. Documents from a lawsuit filed in the Indianapolis District Court mention that Sharkey attempted to commit suicide. It has been suggested instead that he attempted to fake his own death.

The Vampires, Witches, and Pagans Party was founded by Sharkey in 2005. It is officially recognized by United States Federal Election Committee, although there is little evidence of any membership or activity other than two persons. The Party advocates protection of the religious beliefs and political advancment of individuals identifying themselves as vampires, witches, pagans, demons, Satanists, Wiccans, and those professing similar lifestyles and religious views. An independently produced documentary about Sharkey, Impaler (http://www.impalerthemovie.com/), debuted in Australia on February 9, 2007. His latest project is online: Jonathon "The Impaler" For President 2008 (http://www.jonathontheimpalerforpresident2008.us/)

His campaigns platform includes abolishing Christianity and replacing it with classical Roman Paganism fused with the political system of Fascist Italy. He openly opposed the Nazi style of fascism, but claimed to support a society based around white European culture.

Ini fenomena yg cukup aneh kata gw. orang2 ini tidak hanya bergaya spt super heroes dalam komik2 DC ato Marvell tapi juga meniru kelakuan Superhero tsb. Mereka berpatroli di jalan-jalan untuk membela yang lemah dan menegakkan kebenaran.

Superbarrio (Mexico)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a87_Superbarrio.jpg

He's faster than a speeding turtle, able to leap small speed bumps in a single bound. Look, up in the sky ... Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superbarrio :haha -- a flabby caped crusader in cherry red tights who traverses the streets of Mexico City, defending the lower class. A high school dropout with a humble upbringing, Superbarrio has become one of Mexico City's greatest folk heroes. For the past 10 years, he has stood as the champion of the working class, the poor and the homeless.

"I opened my eyes and found myself as you see me with a voice telling me, 'You are Superbarrio,'" he said, explaining that his name means super-neighborhood. "I can't stop a plane or a train single-handed, but I can keep a family from being evicted." His role is primarily symbolic as the protector of low-income neighborhoods. But on behalf of squatters and labor unions, Superbarrio leads protest rallies, files petitions and challenges court decisions. Rumors also have circulated that he attempted to run for the president of the United States to better protect Mexican workers. His followers find him inspirational and recently erected a statue in his honor -- a giant lifelike replica that looks like an oversized Cabbage Patch doll at 40. The awed crowd chanted, "You see him. You feel him. Superbarrio is here!"

Terrifica (NY City)

Terrifica patrols New York City's bars, clubs, and streets by night, in an effort to protect inebriated women in danger of being taken advantage of by men. Since the mid-1990s Terrifica has donned a golden mask, Valkyrie bra, blond wig, red boots and cape, to distract the men she tries to dissuade from seducing drunk young women. She carries a utility belt containing a pepper spray, cell phone, lipstick, a camera to photograph alleged predators, a journal, Terrifica fortune cards, and Smarties for energy. Terrifica has an arch-nemesis, a self-proclaimed philanderer who calls himself Fantastico. "I protect the single girl living in the big city," says Terrifica. By day, she is Sarah, a 30-year-old single woman who works for a computer consulting company. "I do this because women are weak. They are easily manipulated, and they need to be protected from themselves and most certainly from men and their ill intentions toward them."

Citizen Prime, a 40-year-old married man whose first name is Jim, has been protecting the streets of Phoenix for a year. He became a superhero to spread the message that people don't have to be fearful of crime. "Are you going to sit inside scared that a terrorist might attack your city, or are you going to go out and live your life?" he asked. But Prime, who patrols once or twice a week in a black, blue and yellow costume, found one chink in his armor. He couldn't find any crime. "The only crime I've ever stopped is when I was actually walking out of a sporting goods store with my wife," he said. "A shoplifter came running past me, and I managed to throw him to the ground."

Tothian (NJ and NY city)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a87_Tothian.jpg

Tothian, 22, is a superhero who protects New Jersey and New York, is one of the more active heroes. He uses his skills as a Marine reservist and martial arts expert when patrolling the streets, and has escorted women home at night and broken up fights. His uniform--he prefers that term to costume--is black combat boots, green cargo pants and a T-shirt. His logo, which is stitched into the middle of the T-shirt with cut-up bandanas, is made from the letters used to spell Tothian. Tothian doesn't wear a mask because it blocks his peripheral vision, and says he doesn't wear a cape "because capes get in the way of actually doing real superhero stuff." Tothian says he doesn't want to become a police officer because he doesn't agree with every law on the book. "I'm not out to punish every single criminal," he said. For example, he would counsel marijuana smokers, but wouldn't apprehend them as bad guys. Tothian said he gets some strange looks when people find out he's a superhero. But after people realize he's out to protect them, he says their trepidation eases somewhat.

An odd-job man by day, he operates in Kent during the week and in London on weekends. He decided to go "full-time vigilante" in May this year. "My obsession with wheel-clamping is actually a rebellion against a much deeper malaise," he said. "Namely, the arrogant contempt that politicians hold for the people who put them into power, and whom they claim to represent."

Mr. Silent (Indianapolis)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a87_Silent.jpg

Mr Silent patrols the streets of indianapolis. Unlike his hero Bruce Wayne, Mr. Silent's alter ego isn't a billionaire. He has a full-time job to tend to, so he only makes it out about once per week, cruising the alleys of Downtown after dark, looking to help where needed. "I roam the streets of the city looking for those in distress or danger and I do my best to help them. If those in need of help are being mugged or hurt in anyway, then you can be assured that I will do something about it. One may ask, how I can call myself a superhero when I can't fly or run at mach 3. The answer is simple. I am idealistically super. I see what, in my opinion, needs changed in society and I work towards that goal," said Silent.

Chris Guardian (NY City)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a87_guardian.jpg

It started out as a normal night. That is, until the bad guy started dancing like the devil in the pale moonlight. Chris was minding his own business on the streets of Staten Island, N.Y., when he saw a man dash into a convenience store. The man sprinted through the aisles, trashing the place, then broke a glass bottle on the floor and brandished the shards as a makeshift knife. Chris, coming to the rescue, cornered him in the aisle. While Chris kept the villain at bay, customers called the police. That night, one of the most dangerous nights in his career, Chris truly earned the right to be called "Chris Guardian". He is now 23 years old, and who patrols the sidewalks and alleyways of New York City. "I've always had something inside of me that made me want to really make a difference and just make the world a better place," Guardian said recently during an interview.

Foxfire is a 25 year-old woman who patrols the streets of Michigan. She is dedicated to helping those in need, preserving natural resources, and, most importantly, "teaching anyone who will listen about the hidden world, the more interesting stuff that goes on beneath the surface of their humdrum little lives. The current air of apocalyptic apathy is indicitive of how much humanity has lost. Together with the rest of the Nameless Few, I will help to re-integrate humanity--as well as protect the downtrodden, the forgotten, and the helpless."

Bornholm Island : Templar churches (Denmark)

http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/denmark/images/templar-church-osterlars-500.jpg
Templar church of Osterlars, Bornholm Island

Located 40 kilometers southeast of the southern tip of Sweden but territorially a part of Denmark, the island of Bornholm is one of the oldest visible rocks in the world. Formed through volcanic activity more than 1700 million years ago, the small granite island has an area of approximately 600 square kilometers (230 square miles). Its rolling hills are covered with a patchwork of farms, pastures and beautiful forests, the coasts are graced by sandy beaches and rocky cliffs and its traditional villages are home to some of the friendliest people in Europe.

Archaeological excavation reveals the island to have been settled since at least 3600 BC, when numerous dolmens and Neolithic mounds began to be constructed. A majority of the mounds show evidence of having been used for burials while others, lacking burial remains, indicate possible astronomical and ceremonial use. Scattered here and there across the island are many boulders and flat, glacier-scoured rock surfaces that are engraved with mysterious symbols and geometric forms, small cup-shaped depressions, and carvings of ships. Conventional archaeological theory, unable to date the engravings or explain their function, attributes them to Bronze Age inhabitants (1800-500 BC). These rock engravings may, however, date from a far earlier age and may have functioned as sea and star maps for ancient mariners.

In medieval times, the island was known as Burgunderland or Burgunderholm, from which the present name derives (holm is an old Danish word for island). During the transition to Christianity between 1050 and 1150 AD, around 40 runic stones were erected around the island and today most of these are found in the vicinity of churches and old bridges where they have often been reused as building materials.

Clearly the most famous of the ancient constructions of Bornholm Island are its medieval round churches. The current hypothesis among historians is that these structures were not intended solely for religious practices but that they also had a defensive function. Given their assumed construction period in the 12th century, this makes seems to make sense as the Baltic region was then subjected to near continuous raids by Slavonic pirates from the island of Rugen, off the German coast. Originally the four churches had flat roofs so that they could be defended from any angle, and the cone-shaped roofs were not added until several centuries later. Upon deeper consideration however, the idea that the churches were used for defensive purposes does not make much sense when one considers the extremely limited interior space within the churches. Each of the four round churches, except for Nyker, have three floors but the lower floor has limited space because of the enormous central pillar and the upper two floors are far too small and cramped to accommodate more than a few dozen people. Additionally, if places of refuge were needed during times of attack, it would have been far more logical for the population to have gathered within the fortresses of Gamleborg and Lilleborg which were vastly more secure and defensible during the time of the supposed pirate raids.

There are still more mysteries to these four round churches that cannot be explained by the conventional historical interpretation. What was the purpose of the round shape and from where did it architecturally originate? While there are scores of other churches dating from the same period of time throughout Denmark and other parts of Scandinavia, there are no other churches with the distinctive roundness of the Bornholm buildings. Equally mysterious is the location of the four round churches relative to one another, to the geography of Bornholm and to the nearby islet of Christianso (12.5 miles northeast of Bornholm). In other words, who really built these churches and for what purpose?

To find answers to these questions two researchers looked beyond the conventional historical interpretation and were repeatedly led to the medieval religious order of the Knights Templar. Writing in their book, The Templars' Secret Island, Erling Haagensen and Henry Lincoln present a great deal of evidence linking the four round churches of Bornholm with the controversial and much misunderstood religious brotherhood of the Templars. According to these authors the location of the four round churches of Osterlars, Nylars, Olsker and Nyker, indicates a complex but very beautiful pattern of landscape geometry incorporating three, four, five, six and seven sided figures. In addition, the round churches reveal the key to further landscape geometry, which is linked to the other medieval churches on Bornholm and nearby Christianso, and is also mirrored in the extraordinary landscape geometry of Rennes le Chateau in southern France.

Historically it is known that the original nine founders of the Templars spent nine years secretly excavating hidden passages beneath the Temple of Solomon on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, after which they unexplainably became immensely wealthy. What did these nine Templar knights find, great wealth, objects of mysterious power, texts of secret esoteric teachings or all these things? What was the connection between the Templar knights and the explosively rapid development of the Cistercian monastic order that has so many fascinating connections with early Christianity in Scandinavia and Bornholm? And, if vast treasures were discovered beneath the Solomon's Temple, where was those treasures then hidden away? Geo-radar surveys conducted at the Osterlars church on Bornholm and the church of Rennes le Chateau have revealed what seem to be previously unknown crypts beneath the church floors. Did the Templars store their treasures at these sites?

Haagensen and Lincoln have done pioneering work in the analysis of Bornholm's sacred geography but the authors believe that deeper and more esoteric secrets remain to be discovered. The celestial alignments of the island's Neolithic constructions and the round churches need to be studied in more detail (for example the upper windows in the Osterlars church were positioned to be in alignment with the sunrises of the winter and summer solstices). Additionally, ancient pagan symbols encoded in carvings and frescos found in the four round churches and also at Poulsker church in south Bornholm need to be examined with a broader knowledge than that of the conventional historical approach.

Arkaim Town

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/2/2f/Arqaim.jpg

Disebut sebut sebagai Stonehenge Rusia, situs ini dibangun oleh suku2 Indo-Iran dan tiba-tiba ditinggalkan 4000 tahun lalu. Situs ini sejaman dg peradaban Mesir dan Babilonia. Diperkirakan, dahulunya, Arkaim yg terletak di sekitar pegunungan Ural ini tidak hanya merupakan kota, tetapi juga kuil dan observatorium.

Situs ini terdiri dari 60 bangunan, yang tersebar di lingkaran luar dan dalamnya. Para ahli menyebut susunan dan strukturnya lebih kompleks dan memungkinkan observasi yang jauh lebih presisi dari Stonehenge saat digunakan pada masanya.


http://www.spaceoflove.com/small.jpg


Salah satu misteri yang membingungkan para arkeolog ialah sedikitnya peninggalan manusia di sini, dan sebab-sebab ditemukannya kebakaran besar yang menghanguskan tempat ini tepat sebelum ditinggalkan. Pembumihangusan secara sadar?

Para ahli geofisika dan biologi dibingungkan oleh hal lain. Di beberapa area dalam situs ini anda akan merasakan perubahan tekanan darah, detak jantung, dan suhu tubuh yang aneh. Beberapa titik disebutkan mengalami perubahan suhu lingkungan plus minus 5 derajat setiap beberapa menit. Pohon-pohon disekitar pun terkena penyakit khusus dan batangnya menekuk secara aneh. Dikatakan, hal-hal ini adalah tanda-tanda adanya zona geo-patogenik yang mempengaruhi kesehatan makhluk hidup.

::devilbatMusik dan Film Satanisme::devilbat

Satanisme muncul dalam banyak hal salah satunya adalah film dan musik. Banyak film yang menceritakan dengan terbuka idiom satanisme serta kisah kuasa gelap (dark forces). Film populer seperti :
Friday The 13th,
The Crow,
Devils Advocate,
Interview With The Vampire,
The X-Files
mengandung alur cerita dimana setan, satanisme atau black magic menjadi bagian penting dari film. Konon tahun 1968, Anton Szandor La Vey pernah menjadi penasehat teknis sekaligus pemeran film Rosemarys Baby, film Omen 1976 disebut telah mempopulerkan satanisme.

Dalam musik ada banyak sekali contoh musik yang berisi satanisme, contoh :

Lagu dari Ozzy Osbourne “Anggur baik tapi Wiski lebih cepat, bunuh dirilah satu-satunya jalan keluar”

Lagu dari David Bowie (majalah Rolling Stone) mengatakan Rock akan selalu menjadi musik setan

Lagu dari Stairway to Heaven jika di putar terbalik akan memunculkan syair pemujaan setan.

Lagu dari Metallica dalam The Prince melantunkan Bida.dari dari bawah, Aku ingin menjual jiwaku. Setan ambil jiwaku.

Pink Floyd menulis lagu Lucifer Sam dengan lirik : Lucifer Sam selalu duduk di sisimu..selalu dekat denganmu.

Thn 1992, Red Hot Chilli Peppers saat penerimaan anugreah MTV Awards berucap. Pertama-tama kami ingin berterima kasih pada Setan.

Marilyin Manson, salah satu umat GS pada majalah Spin edisi Agustus 1996. Saya berharap dikenang sebagai sosok yang mengakhiri sejarah Kekristenan, Manson tak ragu merobek Injil dan meneriakkan penghinaan terhadap Yesus Kristus.

Di Indonesia : - Group Black Metal(4 tahunlalu) Sebelum naik panggung, mereka menyembelih marmut hidup dan meminum darahnya, kadang mereka membawa salib terbalik ke atas panggung.

I dunoe if this topic is related but i jus wanna share this cus to me its kinda facinating.

hummm...g tau iini dari tmn namanya wahyuu,nice guy...have u heard anth about aurora borealis?

Auroras (or aurorae) [snglr.: aurora] are natural different colored light displays, which are usually observed in the night sky, particularly in the polar zone. Some scientists therefore call them "polar auroras" (or "aurorae polaris"). In northern latitudes, it is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman goddess of the dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas. It often appears as a greenish glow (or sometimes a faint red), as if the sun were rising from an unusual direction. The aurora borealis is also called the northern lights, as it is only visible in the North sky from the Northern Hemisphere. The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April..

Mysterious Rock Growing 'Hair' Put on Display in Beijing

klo engkong/ema ubanan seeh msh wajar...tp gmana klo batu yg ubanan??itu baru misteri..read it below..::down::

http://en.epochtimes.com/news_images/2007-3-24-hair-growing-rock.jpg
A rounded rock with grey, human-looking hair growing out of it. (The Epoch Times)

CHINA—On March 16, 2007, an unusual rock went on display in Beijing. This rock has "hair," almost identical to human hair, growing out of its "head."

The rock is iron gray in color, naturally smooth and rounded, and is similar to a cobblestone. There is also a very thin layer of scalp tissue connecting the "hair" to the rock. The hair is grey in color and similar to the color of the rock itself. The hair grows quite naturally from the top with the longest strands being about 15 centimeters (6 inches) long. The hair is slightly coarser than human hair.

The rock was found on a beach, and according to Fashion Rock Café's executive Miss Yong, this kind of rock is named a "hair-growing rock". As long as conditions are right, the hair on this rare rock will continue to grow. Only two other hair-growing rocks have been reported in the world; and both are in a Taiwan Museum.

This "hair-growing rock" is in a glass display case at the Fashion Rock Café, located in the Digital Building in Beijing's Zhongguan Village. The rock measures approximately 30 centimeters (11.8 inches) long, 20 centimeters (7.8 inches) wide, and about 15 centimeters (6 inches) high.

The value of the rock is estimated to be around 10 million Yuan (approximately USD 1.3 million).

mahal jg y..:bingung:

The Tree Circus - Part 3

When this son of the land died in 1964, he left a legacy of 74 spectacular trees, but with no one to care for them, they languished and began to die. In the mid-1970's, a Santa Cruz architect named Mark Primack led a valiant effort to save the trees, even risking arrest for trespassing in order to water and feed the trees. Keeping as many alive as he could, Primack's efforts finally took root when they attracted the attention of tree lover Michael Bonfante who bought the trees for a theme park he was building in Gilroy.

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2308/dduoxf2.jpg

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2953/eduokf3.jpg

Due to Bonfante's creative vision, 29 of the remaining coiled, scalloped and spiral shaped Sycamores, Box Elders, Ash and Spanish Cork trees were saved. During the winter of 1984 they were carefully hand dug and boxed, their roots trimmed, then watered and fertilized to revive the trees. On November 10, 1985, they were hauled over 50 miles of mountains. More than 20 municipal, county and state agencies were involved in the permitting process and the ultimate move to their final home at Bonfante Gardens.

With a lot of love and a bit of luck, Axel Erlandson's Circus Trees will continue to awe children as well as adults who can appreciate the time and talent involved in creating this tribute to nature.

(The photo below shows the Double Spectacle Sycamore being gently loaded onto a flat bed trailer in preparation for its journey over the hill to Gilroy. The photo below right shows the "Four-Legged Giant" ready to go on the road in 29 of Erlandson's creations were moved to a new home in Gilroy, California. All 29 survived the ordeal and are happily situated at Bonfante Gardens Family Theme Park where 19 of the Circus Trees are on public display throughout the park.)

om kalu di pedalaman Kalimantan Pohon yang seperti itu di jadikan tanda tempat tinggal para Ot Siau dan Suku Ahas/Pun An Siam ( kedua suku ini masih suku terasing di tanah Dayak yang ciri-cirinya berkaki merah (Ot Siau), berwarna kulit agak kemerahan (Suku Ahas) jalannya cepat meskipun menembus disela-sela rotan berduri, jalanya cepat hampir tidak menyentuh tanah karena berjalan menggunakan ujung jari kaki, tubuh mereka ringan dan kalau berjalan biasanya miring mendahulukan belikat kiri atau kanan. kedua suku ini diyakini masih mengembara di Hutan Kalimantan Tengah, khususnya di daerah Barito Utara dan daerah Murung Raya sampai sekarang. Konon pendengaran mereka cukup tajam, serta gerak mereka sangat gesit dan cepat di dalam hutan, langkah mereka pun yaris tak terdengar. Mereka bersembunyi di balik pepohonan untuk menghindari pertemuan dengan pendatang asing/ orang yang mereka tidak kenal).

:salut:Teori adanya lubang hitam pertama kali diajukan pada abad ke-18 oleh [[John Michell]] and [[Pierre-Simon Laplace]], selanjutnya dikembangkan oleh [[astronom]] Jerman bernama [[Karl Schwarzschild]], pada tahun 1916, dengan berdasar pada teori relativitas umum dari [[Albert Einstein]], dan semakin dipopulerkan oleh [[Stephen William Hawking]]. Pada saat ini banyak astronom yang percaya bahwa hampir semua galaksi dialam semesta ini mengelilingi lubang hitam pada pusat galaksi.

Adalah [[John Archibald Wheeler]] pada tahun 1967 yang memberikan nama "Lubang Hitam" sehingga menjadi populer di dunia bahkan juga menjadi topik favorit para penulis fiksi ilmiah.
Kita tidak dapat melihat lubang hitam akan tetapi kita bisa mendeteksi materi yang tertarik / tersedot ke arahnya. Dengan cara inilah, para astronom mempelajari dan mengidentifikasikan banyak lubang hitam di angkasa lewat observasi yang sangat hati-hati sehingga diperkirakan di angkasa dihiasi oleh jutaan lubang hitam.


* '''Asal Mula Lubang Hitam'''

Lubang Hitam tercipta ketika suatu obyek tidak dapat bertahan dari kekuatan tekanan [[gaya gravitasi]]nya sendiri. Banyak obyek (termasuk matahari dan bumi) tidak akan pernah menjadi lubang hitam. Tekanan gravitasi pada matahari dan bumi tidak mencukupi untuk melampaui kekuatan atom dan [[nuklir]] dalam dirinya yang sifatnya melawan tekanan gravitasi. Tetapi sebaliknya untuk obyek yang bermassa sangat besar, tekanan gravitasi-lah yang menang.

* '''Pertumbuhannya'''

Massa dari lubang hitam terus bertambah dengan cara menangkap semua materi didekatnya. Semua materi tidak bisa lari dari jeratan lubang hitam jika melintas terlalu dekat. Jadi obyek yang tidak bisa menjaga jarak yang aman dari lubang hitam akan tersedot.
Berlainan dengan reputasi yang disandangnya saat ini yang menyatakan bahwa lubang hitam dapat menyedot apa saja disekitarnya, lubang hitam tidak dapat menyedot material yang jaraknya sangat jauh dari dirinya. dia hanya bisa menarik materi yang lewat sangat denkat dengannya. Contoh : bayangkan [[matahari]] kita menjadi lubang hitam dengan massa yang sama. Kegelapan akan menyelimuti [[bumi]] dikarenakan tidak ada pancaran cahaya dari lubang hitam, tetapi bumi akan tetap mengelilingi lubang hitam itu dengan jarak dan kecepatan yang sama dengan saat ini dan tidak tersedot masuk kedalamnya. Bahaya akan mengancam hanya jika bumi kita berjarak 10 mil dari lubang hitam, dimana hal ini masih jauh dari kenyataan bahwa bumi berjarak 93 juta mil dari matahari. Lubang hitam juga dapat bertambah massanya dengan cara bertubrukan dengan lubang hitam yang lain sehingga menjadi satu lubang hitam yang lebih besar.

Bulan Januari 2001, fisikawan yang terkenal dari Universitas St. Andrew yakni Nel Ryan Harther mengumumkan bahwa ia dan peneliti Inggris lainnya akan menciptakan sebuah lubang hitam di ruang laboratorium, ketika itu tidak ada yang merasa terkejut terhadap hal demikian. Namun, beberapa hari yang lalu sebuah harian di Rusia mengumumkan ramalan ilmuwannya bahwa lubang hitam tidak saja dapat dibuat dalam ruang laboratorium, bahkan 50 tahun kemudian, ledakan lubang hitam yang mempunyai energi mahadahsyat akan membuat bom atom yang mengerikan manusia sekarang juga terbukti lebih buruk, menjadi pediatri yang tidak patut dipersoalkan.

Pertimbangan manusia menciptakan lubang hitam sebenarnya paling awal abad ke-20 tahun 80-an dikemukakan oleh Profesor William Anroe dari Universitas British, Columbia, ia berpendapat, bahwa manifestasi gelombang suara dalam zat cair dengan manifestasi cahaya dalam lubang hitam sangat mirip, jika membuat kecepatan cairan melampaui kecepatan bunyi, maka pada kenyataannya telah membentuk sebuah gejala lubang hitam buatan dalam cairan tersebut. Sekalipun demikian, Dr. Ryan Harther berencana bahwa lubang hitam buatan yang tercipta oleh karena kekurangan gravitasi yang cukup, selain cahaya, mereka tidak dapat menelan semua benda yang ada di sekeliling seperti lubang hitam yang sebenarnya.

Sebaliknya, ilmuwan Rusia Alexander Delofmankov malah berpendapat, bahwa lubang hitam alam semesta sesungguhnya yang dapat menelan segala benda juga dapat secara keseluruhan “menciptakannya” melalui ruang laboratorium: Sebuah lubang hitam yang berukuran inti atom, energinya akan melampaui sebuah pabrik nuklir. Jika manusia, pada suatu hari nanti benar-benar menciptakan bom lubang hitam, maka energi yang ditimbulkan sebuah bom lubang hitam setelah meledak, akan setara dengan ledakan bom atom yang tak terhingga kelipatannya secara bersamaan, paling tidak ia dapat mengakibatkan kematian 1 miliar jiwa.

Bagi mayoritas orang, lubang hitam yang menakutkan adalah hal yang sangat jauh di alam semesta, masih sangat jauh meninggalkan kita. Namun, Delofmankov berpendapat, sebenarnya kerabat kecil lubang hitam alam semesta –lubang hitam mini ada di mana-mana di atas bumi, bahkan mendatangkan sejumlah besar masalah dan bencana pada manusia. Beberapa ilmuwan Rusia menganggap, bahwa beberapa fenomena misterius di atas bumi berhubungan dengan lubang hitam mini, seperti misalnya letusan gunung berapi, energi dan panas gunung berapi selalu merapat di tempat tertentu di atas bumi, lagi pula tak kunjung habis. Beberapa ilmuwan bahkan curiga, bahwasannya adalah energi mataharilah yang telah menyampaikannya ke tempat yang dalam di bumi melalui lubang hitam. Sebelum ini, beberapa fisikawan mengenali bahwa di atas matahari tidak hanya terdapat energi nuklir, bahkan ada lubang hitam mini, lagi pula setiap bagian dalam planet mungkin terdapat lubang hitam mini.

yang di Bermuda Triangle, Formosa Triangle dan Devil's Triangle itu sepertinya bukan mini blackhole. Yang gw dengar sih itu portal antar galaxy yang dahulu digunakan manusia jaman Atlantis. Setelah atlantis rubuh dan peradabannya tercerai-berai, tidak ada lagi yang menjaga portal tsb.

mungkin...tapi gw lebi percaya ma buku "dialo dengan jin muslim" tu kjadian nyata dan yg ngomong jin tu yg pernah lewat situ....

semua orang berhak memercayai apa yang mereka inginkan

Ketika Dewa-dewa Turun ke Bumi

Kehadiran benda-benda terbang luar Bumi beserta makhluk yang dibawanya, dipercaya oleh sebagian kalangan telah berkunjung ke Bumi sejak masa prasejarah. Hal ini terlihat pada sejumlah lukisan gua yang menunjukkan bentuk-bentuk yang oleh manusia abad ini disebut sebagai UFO (unidentified flying object). Tidak hanya itu, sebagian kalangan pun memercayai kehadiran UFO dan alien yang dibawanya tersebut turut memberi andil dalam proses evolusi kehidupan yang berlangsung di planet ini.

Menurut pakar sejarah seni, Daniela Giordano, dalam publikasinya yang berjudul Do UFO’s Exist in the History of Arts? banyak dijumpai lukisan dari abad pertengahan yang menggambarkan objek-objek angkasa tak lazim yang sulit untuk diinterpretasi. Dalam lukisan-lukisan tersebut ditampilkan bentuk-bentuk menyerupai pesawat udara dan kubah terbang yang justru baru berabad-abad kemudian banyak dilaporkan oleh para saksi mata melalui sejumlah penampakan yang terjadi.

Dalam kurun waktu yang lebih tua, di gua yang sekarang menjadi wilayah Lascaux di Prancis Selatan juga dapat dijumpai lukisan purba berusia sekitar 13.000 tahun sebelum Masehi (SM) yang mengesankan kehadiran "benda terbang" di antara mastodon. Pemerhati seni lukis paleolitik percaya bahwa para pemburu purba tersebut melukiskan hewan-hewan buruannya untuk menambah kekuatan magis guna keperluan perburuan mereka, meski makna simboliknya tetap menjadi bahan perdebatan.

Sementara itu, di Abydos, kota kuno di Mesir yang menjadi "kota pemakaman" bagi sebagian besar raja-raja Mesir dari dinasti pertama dan ke dua (2920–2649 SM), terdapat kuil besar Abydos yang dibangun pada masa kepemimpinan Seti I (1306–1290 SM). Di dalam kuil dijumpai hieroglif yang menampilkan bentuk helikopter, kapal selam, dan mesin-mesin terbang lainnya yang oleh kita, manusia abad teknologi, diklaim sebagai produk modern.

Keyakinan sebagian kalangan bahwa planet ini telah disinggahi oleh makhluk cerdas luar Bumi (extraterrestrial intelligent being) sejak zaman dulu bercermin pada fakta-fakta berupa kehadiran sejumlah konstruksi raksasa yang memerlukan pengetahuan dan teknologi yang dipandang sebagian orang mendahului zamannya, seperti Stonehenge di dataran Salisbury Inggris barat daya, susunan arca di Pulau Paskah di selatan Samudra Pasifik (berukuran tinggi 3 - 12 m dengan bobot tidak kurang dari 12,5 ton dan jumlah mencapai lebih dari 880 buah), piramida di Giza Mesir yang formasinya diyakini sebagai proyeksi tiga buah bintang (Alnitak, Alnilam, dan Mintaka) di rasi Orion (Pemburu), maupun Machu Picchu di Peru dan Baalbek di Lebanon timur.

Gagasan bahwa makhluk cerdas luar Bumi telah memberi pengaruh besar terhadap perkembangan kebudayaan ras manusia melalui serangkaian kunjungannya jauh pada masa lalu, yang dikenal sebagai Paleocontact Theory, pertama kali diperkenalkan pada tahun 1919 dengan pendukung utamanya kala itu Charles Fort dan Erich von Däniken. Hingga kini teori di atas terus disebarkan melalui publikasi buku-buku hasil karya para penulis seperti Robert K.G. Temple dan Zecharia Sitchin.

Menurut von Däniken, hadirnya ilustrasi kendaraan angkasa dan makhluk berpakaian ala astronot masa kini dalam seni lukis purba dapat menjadi bukti kehadiran mereka sekaligus kontak yang telah dilakukan dengan penduduk Bumi. Masih menurut von Däniken, bukti adanya kesamaan tema dalam sejarah dan budaya meskipun secara geografis terpisah jauh juga dapat menjadi petunjuk tentang asal-muasal yang sama.

Argumen von Däniken mungkin ada benarnya. Bila kita perhatikan, candi Sukuh yang berada di lereng gunung Lawu, Jawa Tengah, memiliki struktur bangunan yang unik karena bentuknya menyerupai piramida bangsa Maya di Amerika Tengah. Apakah ada hubungan kebudayaan di antara kedua bangsa ini? Dari manakah datangnya inspirasi pembuatan candi tersebut? Bagaimanapun, sejak dulu gunung Lawu memang dikenal memiliki banyak misteri dan keanehan sehingga dikeramatkan oleh penduduk yang berdiam di sekitarnya.

Candi Hindu yang dibangun pada masa antara 1416–1456, ketika Majapahit berada di bawah pemerintahan Suhita (putri dari Wikramawardhana) yang menganut aliran Hindu Tantrayana ini, memiliki sejumlah arca berupa makhluk bersayap. Dua arca dengan ukuran yang lebih besar daripada manusia namun dengan bagian kepala yang telah hilang, memiliki detil relief yang berbeda meski sama-sama berbadan manusia dan dalam keadaan mengembangkan sayap. Satu arca diketahui memiliki kaki menyerupai bentuk kaki unggas lengkap dengan tajinya, sementara arca lainnya dengan kaki manusia dan diilustrasikan sedang mamanggul buah-buahan.

Arca manusia bersayap yang sedang memanggul buah-buahan tersebut sepintas mirip dengan relief yang dijumpai di Mesopotamia kuno meski dengan penggayaan (stilasi) yang berbeda, yaitu manusia berkepala burung dan bersayap yang sedang memetik buah-buahan dari pohon kehidupan yang membuat para dewa dapat hidup abadi.

Legenda warga di sekitar lereng gunung Lawu menyebut candi Sukuh sebagai tempat untuk berjumpa dengan roh orang yang sudah meninggal. Relif di Mesopotamia kuno tersebut sepintas juga mirip dengan mitos Garudeya (Garuda) yang mengambil air kehidupan dan harus bertarung dengan makhluk serupa naga. Lagi-lagi ini pun menyerupai legenda Timur Tengah yang menyebutkan adanya makhluk bersayap yang bertempur dengan seekor naga. Apakah semua kemiripan yang terjadi hanya kebetulan belaka?

Menariknya, ilustrasi tentang mesin-mesin terbang juga dapat dijumpai dalam teks-teks kuno, seperti dalam epik dari India dengan sebutan "vimana". Dalam kitab Mahabharata disebutkan bahwa Bhima terbang bersama vimananya yang bersinar seterang Matahari dengan suara menggelegar laksana guntur. Lebih jauh, tulis von Däniken dalam buku larisnya According to the Evidence, dalam kitab Mahabharata pula dapat ditemukan informasi tentang senjata mematikan yang dimiliki oleh para dewa. Disebutkan bahwa senjata tersebut memancarkan cahaya dan membuat tubuh-tubuh menjadi tak dapat dikenali lagi, sementara yang lolos dari maut akan kehilangan rambut dan kuku-kuku mereka. Tembikar pun pecah tanpa sebab dan burung-burung menjadi pucat pasi. Bahkan dalam waktu singkat makanan menjadi beracun. Keadaan yang semula terang menjadi gelap gulita dan yang tersisa hanyalah abu.

Demikian gambaran kedahsyatan senjata para dewa. Apakah ini ilustrasi untuk senjata pemusnah massal semacam senjata nuklir yang sekarang kita kenal? Sebagian orang bahkan percaya bahwa kisah nabi Yehezkiel di dalam Alkitab merupakan ilustrasi peristiwa yang berkaitan dengan "penerbangan" yang dialami nabi bangsa Israel tersebut ke suatu tempat yang diduga kuat sebagai wilayah Kashmir saat ini.

Beranjak ke daratan Amerika, tepatnya di sebuah gurun di dataran tinggi Peru, dapat dijumpai lukisan-lukisan di tanah yang dibuat oleh indian Nazca yang menempati wilayah tersebut pada 200 SM hingga 600 Masehi. Lukisan-lukisan yang dikenal sebagai Nazca Lines tersebut digoreskan di atas tanah yang berada di bawah lapisan batuan gurun dan mengambil bentuk hasil stilasi yang menggambarkan hewan, manusia, dan anggota tubuh tertentu. Menariknya, meski telah berusia lebih dari ratusan tahun, garis-garis tersebut tetap bertahan akibat iklim yang sedemikian rupa sehingga meniadakan erosi. Wajarlah bila para pakar arkeologi dan antropologi memberi acungan jempol kepada para "pelukis alam" tersebut berkenaan dengan pemilihan lokasi.

Hal menarik lainnya adalah untuk dapat mengesani bentuk-bentuk yang tergambar di permukaan Bumi tersebut, pengamat harus berada di ketinggian yang cukup mengingat gambar-gambar yang ada memiliki ukuran raksasa. Menggores batu-batu dengan akurasi yang menakjubkan untuk menggambarkan bentuk-bentuk berukuran raksasa, yang para pemahatnya belum tentu dapat menikmati bentuk utuh karya mereka sendiri, telah menarik perhatian para ahli dan menjadi salah satu misteri yang belum terpecahkan.

Wajar bila secuil misteri yang telah disampaikan di atas mengusik sisi kemanusiaan kita karena berkaitan dengan silsilah kita sendiri sebagai manusia modern (homo sapiens) yang baru muncul untuk pertama kali di muka Bumi 130.000 tahun yang lalu. Dalam kerangka ilmiah jawaban atas suatu pertanyaan tidak dapat hanya didasarkan pada dugaan-dugaan semata, walaupun pada awalnya kita berhak untuk mengajukan usulan sebaga pijakan untuk membantu melangkah lebih jauh.

Meski kadang kala suatu fakta yang hadir di hadapan kita dapat ditafsirkan dengan banyak cara, pada akhirnya penjelasan yang berlaku umum, sederhana, dan tidak bertentangan dengan fakta-fakta lain yang ada, itulah yang akan dipilih sebagai jawaban. Walau klaim Paleocontact Theory belum tentu benar adanya, kita tetap harus bersikap terbuka dengan segala macam kemungkinan solusi. Bagaimana pun, sejarah masa lalu manusia sendiri memang masih menyimpan banyak misteri.***

Sebagian orang bahkan percaya bahwa kisah nabi Yehezkiel di dalam Alkitab merupakan ilustrasi peristiwa yang berkaitan dengan "penerbangan" yang dialami nabi bangsa Israel tersebut ke suatu tempat yang diduga kuat sebagai wilayah Kashmir saat ini.



Di dalam membahas persoalan UFO (Unidentified Flying Object=Benda
Terbang Tak Dikenal) banyak penulis barat telah menunjuk pada
peristiwa-peristiwa dalam kitab Alkitab yang ada persamaannya dengan
penyaksian modern UFO masa kini. Terutama apa yang dialami oleh
seorang nabi bangsa Israel yang bernama Yehezkiel (Ezekiel) yang
menyaksikan "jentera-jentera" yang berapi adalah sebuah contoh yang
amat populer. Diperkirakan nabi Yehezkiel hidup pada kurang lebih
600 tahun sebelum masehi. Peristiwa yang dialaminya itu tercatat
pada kitab Nabi Yehezkiel terutama pada permulaan dari kitab
Yehezkiel.

Pada pasal 1 ayat 4-5 (lihat Alkitab): "Lalu aku melihat sungguh
angin badai bertiup dari utara dan membawa segumpal awan yang besar
dengan api yang berkilat-kilat dan awan itu dikelilingi dengan
sinar; di dalam; di tengah-tengah api itu kelihatan seperti suasana
mengkilat. Dan di tengah-tengah itu juga ada yang menyerupai empat
makhluk hidup."

Pada pasal 1 ayat 10 tertulis: "Keempatnya mempunyai muka manusia
didepan, singa disebelah kanan, muka lembu disebelah kiri dan muka,
rajawali dibelakang. Dilanjutkan dengan pasal 1 ayat 13-14: Ditengah
makhluk hidup itu kelihatan seperti api yang menyala. Makhluk-
makhluk hidup itu terbang kesana kemari seperti kilat".

Keseluruhan dari bab pertama tentang Yehezkiel mungkin berisikan
gambaran yang sangat menakjubkan dan baik dalam kitab Injil tentang
penerbangan dan pendaratan pesawat ruang angkasa. Kejadian itu
berlangsung di tanah Kaldean dengan sungai Chebar.

Pada kitab Yehezkiel itu, nabi Yehezkiel menjelaskan dengan cermat
sekali bentuk pesawat ruang angkasa itu, sehingga seorang ahli
tekhnik NASA (National Aeronautics and Space administration) yang
bernama Josef F. Blumrich berhasil dalam merekonstruksikan pesawat
ruang angkasa yang diterangkan oleh nabi Yehezkiel dengan petunjuk
apa adanya.

Diterangkan dalam kitab Injil bahwa nabi Yehezkiel dibawa oleh
pesawat ruang angkasa itu kesuatu tempat, dengan keterangan: "Dalam
tahun keduapuluh lima sesudah pembuangan kami, yaitu pada permulaan
tahun, pada tanggal sepuluh bulan itu, dalam tahun keempat belas
sesudah kota itu ditaklukkan, pada hari itu juga kekuasaan Tuhan
meliputi aku (Yehezkiel) dan dibawaNya aku dalam penglihatan-
penglihatan Illahi ke tanah Israel dan menempatkan aku di atas
sebuah gunung yang tinggi sekali. Di atas itu dihadapanku ada yang
menyerupai bentuk kota. Kesanalah aku dibawanya. Dan lihat, ada
orang yang kelihatan seperti tembaga dan ditangannya ada tali lenan
beserta tongkat pengukur; dan ia berdiri di pintu gerbang. Orang itu
berbicara kepadaku:"Hai anak manusia, lihatlah dengan teliti dan
dengarlah dengan sungguh-sungguh dan perhatikanlah baik-baik segala
sesuatu yang akan kuperlihatkan kepadamu, karena untuk itulah kau
dibawa kemari supaya aku memperlihatkan semua itu
kepadamu.."(Yehezkiel 40:1-4)"

Dalam bukunya yang terkenal, yang dalam edisi bahasa Indonesianya
berjudul: Asal Usul Kecerdasan Manusia, Erich von Däniken memberi
komentar lebih lanjut:"Kemana Yehezkiel di bawa?" Blumrich juga
telah bertanya:"Dimanakah Yehezkiel?"

Yehezkiel memberikan ukuran yang tepat tentang empat pintu gerbang
utama pada sebuah gereja, memberikan arah kompas mengenai letak
gerbang-gerbang itu dan akhirnya menyebuktan adanya sebuah sungai
kecil yang ada di sisi gereja dan menjadi sungai besar di sebuah
lembah luas. Juga ditekankan bahwa Yehezkiel dibawa ke sebuah gunung
yang sangat tinggi.

Dengan bukti sedikit ini, Erich von Däniken berusaha keras menemukan
dimana lokasi dan peninggalan gereja itu. Yang pasti Yehezkiel tidak
mengetahui nama gunung itu. Tak mungkin ia dibawa ke Yerusalem atau
Babilonia karena ia pernah tinggal lama di daerah-daerah itu.

Mungkinkah Yehezkiel dibawa ke kuil Inca di Amerika Selatan? Jawaban
ini dibantah karena kuil Inca tidak mempunyai empat pintu utama,
tiang-tiang maupun halaman depan. Ataukah ia dibawa ke piramid, ke
sebuah kuil di Amerika Tengah? Namun di sana tidak terdapat gunung
yang amat tinggi.

Akhirnya seorang pembaca dari buku-buku Erich von Däniken menulis
surat kepadanya. Seorang pembaca Jerman yang bernama Marier itu
memberitahu penulisan tentang kuil-kuil di Srinagar di Tanah
Kashmir. Anehnya salah satu kuil iu dinamakan Kuil Yahudi dan kuil
ini mempunyai empat pintu dan sebuah halaman depan dan segala
sesuatu yang seharusnya dipunyai oleh Kuil Yahudi.

Pembaca yang baik hati itu juga menyelipkan denah kuil itu di dekat
Martand, tiga puluh kilometer dari Srinagar. Suatu hal yang sangat
cocok bahwa didekat kuil itu ada sebuah sungai kecil yang akhirnya
menjadi aungai di tanah Kashmir. Pegunungan yang amat tinggi, yakni
Himalaya menghiasi latar belakangnya.

Memang kuil Yahudi di Srinagar itu disebut juga "Kuil Matahari" (Sun
temple) dan merupakan reruntuhan kuil paling besar di Kashmir.
Ketika Erich von Däniken mengadakan suatu ekspedisi pada tahun 1976
kesana, mereka melihat halaman depan dengan pintu utama, tujuan
tangga dan ruang suci di dalamnya. Dan memanglah terdapat sebuah
sungai kecil di dekat reruntuhan yang memantulkan pegunungan
Himalaya. Suatu perkiraan bahwa Yehezkiel pasti diangkut dengan
pesawat ruang angkasa dan mendarat di halaman depan itu: "Lalu
dibawanya aku ke pintu gerbang yang menghadap ke sebelah Timur.
Aungguh, kemuliaan Allah Israel datang dari sebelah timur dan
terdengarlah suara seperti air terjun yang menderu dan bumi bersinar
karena kemuliaanNya. Yang kelihatan kepadaku itu adalah seperti yang
kelihatan kepadaku ketika Ia datang untuk memusnahkan kota itu dan
seperti yang kelihatan kepadaku di tepi sungai Kebar, maka aku
sembah sujud. Sedang kemuliaan Tuhan masuk di dalam bait Suci
melalui pintu gerbang yang menghadap kesebelah Timur."(Yehezkiel
43:1-4).

Bandingkan denah Temple of Martand (gambar di atas) dengan denah
bait suci (kuil) yang digambarkan oleh Nabi Yehezkiel. Lihat: Denah
Ezekiel Temple.

Dalam teks di atas secara jelas telah disebutkan bahwa pesawat ruang
angkasa itu memasuki kuil. Apakah mungkin ada jejak yang dapat
dilacak di daerah itu? Selama dua hari penuh mereka berjalan
mengelilingi daerah itu dengan alat pengukur radiasi (Geiger
counter). Namun tak terjadi apa-apa, hingga pada sebuah jalur yang
muncul pada pintu utama, jarum jarum bergetar dengan hebat disertai
suara gemertak keras mengganggu telinga melalui earphone selama
beberapa detik.

Jalur yang mengandung radiasi itu membuat medan radiasi radioaktif
selebar 1,50 meter. Berapakah panjangnya? Perlahan lahan Erich
berjalan dari ujung sebelah kanan menuju kekiri. Detakan di telinga
terus terdengar tapi tidak merata. Mereka menggunakan monitor
elektronik portable, type TMB2. 1, dibuat oleh perusahaan Munich
Munchner Apparatebau. Alat ini biasa dipakai untuk mengukur serta
mengontrol radiasi alpha, beta gamma dan neutron.

Pada tempat-tempat tertentu jarum menunjuk pada akhir skala,
sehingga timbul pertanyaan: Apakah kita berjalan diatas sebuah
jaringan uranium jauh dibawah tanah? ataukah ada tambang radioktif
di dalam tanah?

Di tempat suci (Bait Suci) dari kuil yang telah runtuh itu terdapat
batu persegi yang padat dan tampak seperti sebongkah beton buatan
dengan sisi sepanjang 2.80 meter. Tinggi tak dapat diukur karena
dasarnya tenggelam ke dalam tanah. Alat detektor mereka menunjukkan
bahwa mungkin lempengan batu itu mempunyai inti bahan bahan metal.

Keesokan harinya teman teman dari Erich von Daniken yang merupakan
ahli arkeologi bernama Profesor Hassnain dan Kohl membawa mereka ke
reruntuhan Pashaspur, yang juga cukup dekat dengan Shrinagar. Mereka
menunjukkan tiga kuil yang berbeda tetapi masing-masing memiliki
batu batu persegi yang amat padat, seperti yang dijumpai sebelumnya.
Sekali lagi teks dalam Yehezkiel membuat kita semua keheranan:

"Hai anak manusia, inilah tempat tahtaKu dan inilah tempat tapak
kakiKu, di sinilah Aku akan diam di tengah-tengah orang Israel
selama-lamanya."(Yehezkiel 43:7).

Apakah Tuhan meninggalkan jejak di lantai Bait Suci yang memberi
suatu tanda bahwa adanya sebuah deposit atau pesan yang amat penting
sekali? Ataukah pengunjung dari luar bumi itu meninggalkan "sesuatu"
yang diperuntukkan bagi kita dalam blok batu misterius itu yang
masih menunjukkan kehadiran mereka walaupun telah berabad-abad
lamanya.

"Saya ingin membujuk kaum ilmuwan India agar mau memecah batu itu
untuk menyelidiki badian dalamnya, hingga tahu apa sebabnya terdapat
radiasi" demikian kata Erich von Däniken mengakhiri analisanya
terhadap kitab Yehezkiel yang berhasil dengan gemilang. Sedang apa
yang terjadi sesungguhnya pada tahun 600 sebelum masehi itu kita
hanya dapat mengira-ngira bahwa Tuhan telah menunjukkan istanaNya di
bumi pada manusia yang bernama Yehezkiel. Benarkah "kuil Yahudi"
atau "Kuil Matahari" itu istana Tuhan di Bumi?

jadi bisa dibilang bahwa tuhan itu alien donk
memang manusia selalu mencari wujud tuhan
namuh tuhan tak pernah mau menunjukkan wujudnya karena tuhan memang tak berwujud

Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced "albin") was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991. The boy's parents had planned to never legally name him at all, as a protest to the naming law of Sweden.

Because the parents (Elisabeth Hallin and Lasse Diding) failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined the parents 5,000 kronor (US$682 at the time). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine. The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced "albin") instead. Once again, the court did not approve of the name, this time because of a prohibition on one-letter naming.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a146_football.jpg

John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood (born 1963) is one of the most recognisable football fans in England. He decided at school not to follow the trend, common in the televisual age, to follow a successful top-division club. Instead he made a trip to Fratton Park, home of Portsmouth F.C. and was hooked. When he left school he went to work at his father's second-hand bookshop and over time built up a sound grasp of the book trade. Simultaneously, Westwood began to attend ever-increasing numbers of "Pompey" matches. As his commitment grew, so too did his range of Portsmouth F.C themed accessories. In 1994 he changed his name, by deed poll, from J.A. Westwood to J.P.F.C. Westwood.

Despite his large size and deafening exhortations, Westwood is regarded by most fans as a symbol of passionate but non-violent commitment to his chosen team. He was even chosen to be one of the featured people in the BBC's "One Nation" Series.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a146_stuch.jpg

David Edward Sutch (10 November 1940 – 16 June 1999) was an English musician and politician known as Screaming Lord Sutch. Sutch was born at New End Hospital, Hampstead, North West London. In the 1960s, inspired by one of his favourite rock and roll stars, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, he changed his name to Screaming Lord Sutch, 3rd Earl of Harrow. Despite the fact that he had no connection with the peerage, the deed poll laws of England permitted this. Following a successful career as an early-'60s rock 'n' roll attraction, it became customary for the UK press and citizens to refer to him as Screaming Lord Sutch, or simply Lord Sutch.

Despite his seemingly light-hearted antics, Screaming Lord Sutch in reality suffered from periods of depression and committed suicide by hanging on June 16, 1999, following the death of his mother the previous year. At the coroner's inquest into his death, his fiancee stated that he had "manic depression". However, her descriptions, both of his symptoms and their treatment by doctors with antidepressants, suggest that Sutch suffered from clinical depression. Sutch never married, but is survived by a son, Tristan Lord Gwynne Sutch, born in 1975 to the American model Thann Rendessy.

Pedro V (1837 – 1861) was the 31st King of Portugal and Algarves from 1853 to 1861. He was the oldest son of Queen Maria II and her King-Consort Ferdinand II and was born after his mother's accession. As heir apparent to the throne he was styled as the 19th Duke of Braganza.

Pedro was an unusually conscientious and hard-working monarch who, under the guidance of his father, sought radical modernisation of the Portuguese state and infrastructure. Under Pedro's reign, roads, telegraphs, and railways were constructed and improvements in public health advanced. For this he was greatly loved and his popularity further increased when, during the great cholera outbreak he roamed around hospitals handing out gifts and talking and conforing the sick. However, this was unable to save the life of the young king who died (along with his brother Ferdinand and other royal family members) of cholera in 1861. He was so loved and his death along with other relatives was deemed so unnatural that there were actually revolts when he died. He was married to Princess Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, but had no children and the throne then passed to his brother Luis.

http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/oddedge/top14.gif Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache

Captain Leone Sextus Denys Oswolf Fraudatifilius Tollemache-Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache (1884 - 1917) was an officer in the British Army who died during the First World War. A common misconception is that he had the longest English surname on record, or the English surname with the most multiple barrels.

His surname at birth was "Tollemache-Tollemache", his father having doubled his original surname, "Tollemache", after his second marriage. "de Orellana" derives from his mother's Spanish ancestry and is a forename rather than part of his surname. The first "Tollemache-Tollemache" also seems to be an unusual forename. Leone was Ralph's sixth son, hence "Sextus". "Fraudatifilius" is Latin for "son of the defrauded one". "Leone" repeats a pattern seen in the names of his elder brothers and sisters (Lyonel, Lyonesse, Lyulph, Lyona, Leo, Lyonella and Lyonetta). His first five initials, "LSD OF", may include a reference to the divisions of the pre-decimal British currency, £sd, for pounds, shillings and pence. Similarly, an elder brother was named Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache - his first 15 initials spell "LYONEL THE SECOND". In practice, Leone shortened his name to "Leone Sextus Tollemache".

Byron (Low Tax) Looper (Born Byron Anthony Looper on 1964), is a former politician (Republican), who is currently an inmate in the Tennessee state penal system. In order to advance his political career, he legally changed his middle name from Anthony to "(Low Tax)".

As tax assessor, Looper used his office's equipment to flood state media with a number of bizarre and self-congratulatory press releases, though he failed repeatedly to file property tax valuations with the state government on time. Some charges were made that Looper offered reduced tax assessments to local businesses in exchange for large political contributions, although few if any businesses actually responded to the offer. Later, an ex-girlfriend sued him for child support and fraud, charging he had used his official position to steal her house.

In 1998, Looper sought the Republican nominations for the 6th Congressional District of Tennessee and the Tennessee State Senate in the same primary. He won the state senate nomination by default, however, as he was the only Republican candidate on the ballot. This set up his campaign against conservative incumbent Democratic state senator Tommy Burks. On the morning of October 19, authorities were called to investigate a likely murder at the Burks' farm. Tommy Burks' body was found with his head resting on the steering wheel of his pickup truck. Looper was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.

Aokigahara, Sea of Trees, the Dark Side of Mt. Fuji

http://www.fujisan.ne.jp/up_master/gallery1/2/glry2_00000302.jpg

Pernah baca manga Samurai Deeper Kyo? Di situ dikisahkan Kyo tumbuh di sebuah hutan besar yg sangat menyeramkan, di mana di sana banyak terdapat creatures aneh dan di pusatnya terdapat sebuah gerbang menuju dunia lain. Dan, hutan tersebut terdapat di kaki gunung Fuji.

http://mushinone.cool.ne.jp/namaroku/Aokigahara-jukai.JPG

Dalam kenyataannya, di kaki barat Fuji terdapat sebuah hutan lebat, disebut penduduk setempat sebagai Aokigahara. Memang, sejak dahulu hutan ini disebutkan berhantu dan menjadi tempat tinggal monster, iblis, dan goblin (youkai). Hati-hatilah jika hiking di sini, karena kompas biasa tidak akan bekerja di sini. Di bawah tanahnya terdapat deposit bijih besi yang akan menganggu medan magnet alami bumi.

Tempat ini terkenal di Jepang sebagai spot favorit bunuh diri. Yup. Kita tahu bahwa Jepang adalah salah satu negara dengan angka bunuh diri tertinggi di dunia, walaupun begitu tetap ada sebuah spot yang membuat berpaling warganya akan tingginya kasus bunuh diri, dan itulah Aokigahara ini. Tiap tahun ditemukan tidak kurang dari 80 mayat di lembabnya hutan ini.

http://www.ctktv.ne.jp/~r-type/image/031-aokigahara.JPG

Apa yg menyebabkan hutan ini populer sebagai spot orang melepaskan hidupnya? Hutan ini, menurut penduduk setempat, sangat padat, sehingga hanya kurang dari 1 km dari batasnya, orang tidak akan mendengar apapun lagi selain suara hutan itu sendiri. Sangat menarik bagi yang ingin menghilang dari keributan dunia, karena sangat mudah tersesat di sini. Dan begitu Anda hilang, tidak akan ada yang berani mencari Anda. Sedikit tambahan, jangan bayangkan hutan ini seperti hutan hujan tropis di Kalimantan, imagenya nampaknya lebih ke arah hutannya Treebeard di LoTR, hutan subtropis.

Saking putus asanya, kepala daerah setempat bahkan sempat bercanda, " Mungkin kami harus menyebut kota kami sebagai kota Bunuh Diri, dan mulai mengundang orang untuk datang kemari." Dan, lebih jauh, Aokigahara bahkan mulai populer bagi para penjarah mayat. Mereka datang ke hutan untuk menjarah barang-barang duniawi yang ditinggalkan orang-orang yang pergi ke dunia lain dalam naungan kesunyian Aokigahara .

THE STORY OF MIMI-NASHI-HÔÏCHI Part 1

http://bp0.blogger.com/_jpGvxqTL-L0/RozMy8DnrXI/AAAAAAAAAFU/vK3oFgdcm04/s320/P1010139.jpg

MORE than seven hundred years ago, at Dan-no-ura, in the Straits of Shimonoséki, was fought the last battle of the long contest between the Heiké, or Taira clan, and the Genji, or Minamoto clan. There the Heiké perished utterly, with their women and children, and their infant emperor likewise--now remembered as Antoku Tennô. And that sea and shore have been haunted for seven hundred years.... Elsewhere I told you about the strange crabs found there, called Heiké crabs, which have human faces on their backs, and are said to be the spirits of Heiké warriors.(1) But there are many strange things to be seen and heard along that coast. On dark nights thousands of ghostly fires hover about the beach, or flit above the waves,--pale lights which the fishermen call Oni-bi, or demon-fires; and, whenever the winds are up, a sound of great shouting comes from that sea, like a clamor of battle.

In former years the Heiké were much more restless than they now are. They would rise about ships passing in the night, and try to sink them; and at all times they would uatch for swimmers, to pull them down. It was in order to appease those dead that the Buddhist temple, Amidaji, was built at Akamagaséki.(2) A cemetery also was made close by, near the beach; and within it were set up monuments inscribed with the names of the drowned emperor and of his great vassals; and Buddhist services were regularly performed there, on behalf of the spirits of them. After the temple had been built, and the tombs erected, the Heiké gave less trouble than before; but they continued to do queer things at intervals,--proving that they had not found the perfect peace.



Some centuries ago there lived at Akamagaséki a blind man named Hôïchi, who was famed for his skill in recitation and in playing upon the biwa.(3) From childhood he had been trained to recite and to play; and while yet a lad he had surpassed his teachers. As a professional biwa-hôshi he became famous chiefly by his recitations of the history of the Heiké and the Genji; and it is said that when he sang the song of the battle of Dan-no-ura "even the goblins [kijin] could not refrain from tears."



At the outset of his career, Hôïchi was very poor; but he found a good friend to help him. The priest of the Amidaji was fond of poetry and music; and he often invited Hôïchi to the temple, to play and recite. Afterwards, being much impressed by the wonderful skill of the lad, the priest proposed that Hôïchi should make the temple his home; and this offer was gratefully accepted. Hôïchi was given a room in the temple-building; and, in return for food and lodging, he was required only to gratify the priest with a musical performance on certain evenings, when otherwise disengaged.



One summer night the priest was called away, to perform a Buddhist service at the house of a dead parishioner; and he went there with his acolyte, leaving Hôïchi alone in the temple. It was a hot night; and the blind man sought to cool himself on the verandah before his sleeping-room. The verandah overlooked a small garden in the rear of the Amidaji. There Hôïchi waited for the priest's return, and tried to relieve his soiitude by practicing upon his biwa. Midnight passed; and the priest did not appear. But the atmosphere was still too warm for comfort within doors; and Hôïchi remained outside. At last he heard steps approaching from the back gate. Somebody crossed the garden, advanced to the verandah, and halted directly in front of him--but it was not the priest. A deep voice called the blind man's name--abruptly and unceremoniously, in the manner of a samurai summoning an inferior:--

"Hôïchi!"

Hôïchi was too much startled, for the moment, to respond; and the voice called again, in a tone of harsh command,--

"Hôïchi!"

"Hai!" answered the blind man, frightened by the menace in the voice,--"I am blind I--I cannot know who calls!"

"There is nothing to fear," the stranger exclaimed, speaking more gently. "I am stopping near this temple, and have been sent to you with a message. My present lord, a person of exceedingly high rank, is now staying in *Akamagaséki, with many noble attendants. He wished to view the scene of the battle of Dan-no-ura; and to-day he visited that place. Having heard of your skill in reciting the story of the battle, he now desires to hear your performance: so you will take your biwa and come with me at once to the house where the august assembly is waiting."

In those times, the order of a samurai was not to be lightly disobeyed. Hôïchi donned his sandals, took his biwa, and went away with the stranger, who guided him deftly, but obliged him to walk very fast. The hand that guided was iron; and the clank of the warrior's stride proved him fully armed,--probably some palace-guard on duty. Hôïchi's first alarm was over: he began to imagine himself in good luck;--for, remembering the retainer's assurance about a "person of exceedingly high rank," he thought that the lord who wished to hear the recitation could not be less than a daimyô of the first class. Presently the samurai halted; and Hôïchi became aware that they had arrived at a large gateway;--and he wondered, for he could not remember any large gate in that part of the town, except the main gate of the Amidaji. "Kaimon!"(4) the samurai called,--and there was a sound of unbarring; and the twain passed on. They traversed a space of garden, and halted again before some entrance; and the retainer cried in a loud voice, "Within there! I have brought Hôïchi." Then came sounds of feet hurrying, and screens sliding, and rain-doors opening, and voices of women in converse. By the language of the women Hôïchi knew them to be domestics in some noble household; but he could not imagine to what place he had been conducted. Little time was allowed him for conjecture. After he had been helped to rnount several stone steps, upon the last of which he was told to leave his sandals, a woman's hand guided him along interminable reaches of polished planking, and round pillared angles too many to remember, and over widths amazing of matted floor,--into the middle of some vast apartment. There he thought that many great people were assembled: the sound of the rustling of silk was like the sound of leaves in a forest. He heard also a great humming of voices,--talking in undertones; and the speech was the speech of courts.

THE STORY OF MIMI-NASHI-HÔÏCHI Part 2

http://www.sarudama.com/lore/images/miminashihoichi2.jpg

Hôïchi was told to put himself at ease, and he found a kneeling-cushion ready for him. After having taken his place upon it, and tuned his instrument, the voice of a woman--whom he divined to be the Rôjo, or matron in charge of the female service--addressed him, saying,--

"It is now required that the history of the Heiké be recited, to the accompaniment of the biwa."

Now the entire recital would have required a time of many nights: therefore Hôïchi ventured a question:--

"As the whole of the story is not soon told, what portion is it augustly desired that I now recite?"

The woman's voice made answer:--

"Recite the story of the battle at Dan-no-ura,--for the pity of it is the most deep.(5)

Then Hôïchi lifted up his voice, and chanted the chant of the fight on the bitter sea,--wonderfully making his biwa to sound like the straining of oars and the rushing of ships, the whirr and the hissing of arrows, the shouting and trampling of men, the crashing of steel upon helmets, the plunging of slain in the flood. And to left and right of him, in the pauses of his playing, he could hear voices murmuring praise: "How marvelous an artist!"--"Never in our own province was playing heard like this!"--"Not in all the empire is there another singer like Hôïchi!" Then fresh courage came to him, and he played and sang yet better than before; and a hush of wonder deepened about him. But when at last he came to tell the fate of the fair and helpless,--the piteous perishing of the women and children,--and the death-leap of Nii-no-Ama, with the imperial infant in her arms,--then all the listeners uttered together one long, long shuddering cry of anguish; and thereafter they wept and wailed so loudly and so wildly that the blind man was frightened by the violence of the grief that he had made. For much time the sobbing and the wailing continued. But gradually the sounds of lamentation died away; and again, in the great stillness that followed, Hôïchi heard the voice of the woman whom he supposed to be the Rôjo.

She said:--

"Although we had been assured that you were a very skillful player upon the biwa, and without an equal in recitative, we did not know that any one could be so skillful as you have proved yourself to-night. Our lord has been pleased to say that he intends to bestow upon you a fitting reward. But he desires that you shall perform before him once every night for the next six nights--after which time he will probably make his august return journey. To-morrow night, therefore, you are to come here at the same hour. The retainer who to-night conducted you wlll be sent for you.... There is another matter about which I have been ordered to inform you. It is required that you shall speak to no one of your visits here, during the time of our lord's august sojourn at Akamagaséki. As he is traveling incognito,(6) he commands that no mention of these things be made. ...You are now free to go back to your temple."



After Hôïchi had duly expressed his thanks, a woman's hand conducted him to the entrance of the house, where the same retainer, who had before guided him, was waiting to take hirn home. The retainer led him to the verandah at the rear of the temple, and there bade him farewell.




It was almost dawn when Hôïchi returned; but his absence from the temple had not been observed,--as the priest, coming back at a very late hour, had supposed him asleep. During the day Hôïchi was able to take some rest; and he said nothing about his strange adventure. In the middle of the following night the samurai again came for him, and led him to the august assembly, where he gave another recitation with the same success that had attended his previous performance. But during this second visit his absence from the temple was accidentally discovered; and after his return in the morning he was summoned to the presence of the priest, who said to him, in a tone of kindly reproach:--

"We have been very anxious about you, friend Hôïchi. To go out, blind and alone, at so late an hour, is dangerous. Why did you go without telling us? I could have ordered a servant to accompany you. And where have you been?"

Hôïchi answered, evasively,--

"Pardon me, kind friend! I had to attend to some private business; and I could not arrange the matter at any other hour."

The priest was surprised, rather than pained, by Hôïchi's reticence: he felt it to be unnatural, and suspected something wrong. He feared that the blind lad had been bewitched or deluded by some evil spirits. He did not ask any more questions; but he privately instructed the men-servants of the temple to keep watch upon Hôïchi's movements, and to follow him in case that he should again leave the temple after dark.



On the very next night, Hôïchi was seen to leave the temple; and the servants immediately lighted their lanterns, and followed after him. But it was a rainy night, and very dark; and before the temple-folks could get to the roadway, Hôïchi had disappeared. Evidently he had walked very fast,--a strange thing, considering his blindness; for the road was in a bad condition. The men hurried through the streets, making inquiries at every house which Hôïchi was accustomed to visit; but nobody could give them any news of him. At last, as they were returning to the temple by way of the shore, they were startled by the sound of a biwa, furiously played, in the cemetery of the Amidaji. Except for some ghostly fires--such as usually flitted there on dark nights--all was blackness in that direction. But the men at once hastened to the cemetery; and there, by the help of their lanterns,they discovered Hôïchi,--sitting alone in the rain before the memorial tomb of Antoku Tenno, making his biwa resound, and loudly chanting the chant of the battle of Dan-no-ura. And behind him, and about him, and everywhere above the tombs, the fires of the dead were burning, like candles. Never before had so great a host of Oni-bi appeared in the sight of mortal man....

"Hôïchi San!--Hôïchi San!" the servants cried,--"you are bewitched!... Hôïchi San!"

But the blind man did not seem to hear. Strenuously he made his biwa to rattle and ring and clang;--more and more wildly he chanted the chant of the battle of Dan-no-ura. They caught hold of him;--they shouted into his ear,--

"Hôïchi San!--Hôïchi San!--come home with us at once!"

Reprovingly he spoke to them:--

"To interrupt me in such a manner, before this august assembly, will not be tolerated."

Whereat, in spite of the weirdness of the thing, the servants could not help laughing. Sure that he had been bewitched, they now seized him, and pulled him up on his feet, and by main force hurried him back to the temple,--where he was immediately relieved of his wet clothes, by order of the priest, and reclad, and made to eat and drink. Then the priest insisted upon a full explanation of his friend's astonishing behavior.

THE STORY OF MIMI-NASHI-HÔÏCHI Part 3 (Last Part)

http://www.sarudama.com/lore/images/miminashihoichi.jpg

Hôïchi long hesitated to speak. But at last, finding that his conduct had really alarmed and angered the good priest, he decided to abandon his reserve; and he related everything that had happened from the time of the first visit of the samurai.

The priest said:--

"Hôïchi, my poor friend, you are now in great danger! How unfortunate that you did not tell me all this before! Your wonderful skill in music has indeed brought you into strange trouble. By this time you must be aware that you have not been visiting any house whatever, but have been passing your nights in the cemetery, among the tombs of the Heiké; and it was before the memorial-tomb of Antoku Tennô that our people to-night found you, sitting in the rain. All that you have been imagining was illusion--except the calling of the dead. By once obeying them, you have put yourself in their power. If you obey them again, after what has already occurred, they will tear you in pieces. But they would have destroyed you, sooner or later, in any event.... Now I shall not be able to remain with you to-night: I am called away to perform another service. But, before I go, it will be necessary to protect your body by writing holy texts upon it."



Before sundown the priest and his acolyte stripped Hôïchi: then, with their writing-brushes, they traced upon his breast and back, head and face and neck, limbs and hands and feet,--even upon the soles of his feet, and upon all parts of his body,--the text of the holy sûtra called Hannya-Shin-Kyô.(7) When this had been done, the priest instructed Hôïchi, saying:--

"Tonight, as soon as I go away, you must seat yourself on the verandah, and wait. You will be called. But, whatever may happen, do not answer, and do not move. Say nothing, and sit still--as if meditating. If you stir, or make any noise, you will be torn asunder. Do not get frightened; and do not think of calling for help--because no help could save you. If you do exactly as I tell you, the danger will pass, and you will have nothing more to fear."



After dark the priest and the acolyte went away; and Hôïchi seated himself on the verandah, according to the instructions given him. He laid his biwa on the planking beside him, and, assuming the attitude of meditation, remained quite still,--taking care not to cough, or to breathe audibly. For hours he stayed thus.

Then, from the roadway, he heard the steps coming. They passed the gate, crossed the garden, approached the verandah, stopped--directly in front of him.

"Hôïchi!" the deep voice called. But the blind man held his breath, and sat motionless.

"Hôïchi!" grimly called the voice a second time. Then a third time--savagely:--

"Hôïchi!"

Hôïchi remained as still as a stone,--and the voice grumbled:--

"No answer!--that won't do!...Must see where the fellow is." ...

There was a noise of heavy feet mounting upon the verandah. The feet approached deliberately,--halted beside him. Then, for long minutes,--during which Hôïchi felt his whole body shake to the beating of his heart, there was dead silence.

At last the gruff voice muttered close to him:--

"Here is the biwa; but of the biwa-player I see--only two ears!... So that explains why he did not answer: he had no mouth to answer with--there is nothing left of him but his ears.... Now to my lord those ears I will take--in proof that the august commands have been obeyed, so far as was possible"...

At that instant Hôïchi felt his ears gripped by fingers of iron, and torn off! Great as the pain was, he gave no cry. The heavy footfalls receded along the verandah,--descended into the garden,--passed out to the roadway,--ceased. From either side of his head, the blind man felt a thick warm trickling; but he dared not lift his hands....



Before sunrise the priest came back. He hastened at once to the verandah in the rear, stepped and slipped upon something clammy, and uttered a cry of horror;--for he saw, by the light of his lantern, that the clamminess was blood. But he perceived Hôïchi sitting there, in the attitude of meditation--with the blood still oozing from his wounds.

"My poor Hôïchi!" cried the startled priest,--"what is this?... You have been hurt?"

At the sound of his friend's volce, the blind man felt safe. He burst out sobbing, and tearfully told his adventure of the night.

"Poor, poor Hôïchi!" the priest exclaimed,--"all my fault!--my very grievous fault!... Everywhere upon your body the holy texts had been written--except upon your ears! I trusted my acolyte to do that part of the work; and it was very, very wrong of me not to have made sure that he had done it!... Well, the matter cannot now be helped;--we can only try to heal your hurts as soon as possible.... Cheer up, friend!--the danger is now well over. You will never again be troubled by those visitors."



With the aid of a good doctor, Hôïchi soon recovered from his injuries. The story of his strange adventure spread far and wide, and soon made him famous. Many noble persons went to Akamagaséki to hear him recite; and large presents of money were given to him,--so that he became a wealthy man.... But from the time of his adventure, he was known only by the appellation of Mimi-nashi-Hôïchi: "Hôïchi-the-Earless."

Bulan Sebagai Pangkalan Makhluk Asing? (Part 1)

Pada artikel kali ini, akan sedikit menyinggung soal Bulan dalam pencarian jejak kehidupan cerdas di luar Bumi. Dunia Ufology, mengatakan ada sebuah pangkalan makhluk asing di Bulan yang sangat rahasia. Walaupun masih sebatas spekulasi, tanda-tanda akan hal ini pernah dialami oleh sebagian daripada kita yaitu para Awak Apollo yang mengunjungi bulan. Dari 7 misi Apollo ke Bulan ( Apollo 11 - 17 ), hanya Apollo 13 lah yang mengalami kegagalan akibat terjadinya kebocoran modul servis yang menyebabkan hilangnya persediaan oksigen, air, listrik, dan fungsi mesin. Beruntung para Astronot Apollo 13 semua dapat terselamatkan. Saat mengunjungi bulan, terdapat beberapa kejadian aneh yang dialami oleh para astronot Apollo. Nampaknya ada yang merasa terusik oleh kedatangan mereka kesana, dan itu ditandai dengan munculnya serangkaian kejadian-kejadian aneh dan ganjil pada saat para Astronot mendekati satelit alami bumi itu. Benarkah ada suatu pangkalan kehidupan cerdas di bulan yang sangat misterius?

Bulan memang masih penuh dengan misteri. Bagian bulan yang terlihat dari bumi/menghadap bumi itu tidak berubah, dan kita belum memahami sisi gelapnya bulan yang tak terlihat itu. Dikatakan, pada sisi gelap bulan itulah berkembang suatu kehidupan cerdas. Nampaknya, para makhluk-makhluk tersebut sangat strategis dalam memilih tempat untuk membangun pusat peradaban mereka disana, karena tidak mudah terpantau dari bumi. Ufology menyebut pangkalan makhluk-makhluk itu sebagai "Luna". Sejak misi Apollo pertama yang mendarat di bulan (Apollo 11), makhluk-makhluk itu seakan-akan tidak menyukai kedatangan manusia kesana. Itu ditandai dengan selalu munculnya benda-benda terbang misterius yang selalu mengikuti dan seperti menghalangi jalannya pesawat-pesawat ruang angkasa seperti 7 misi Apollo dan beberapa misi Gemini ke Bulan.

Sebenarnya, kecurigaan-kecurigaan mengenai adanya kehidupan makhluk cerdas di bulan ini sudah dapat teramati fenomenanya oleh manusia di bumi. Laporan banyak berdatangan dari para ahli perbintangan maupun para peminat astronomi dari beberapa negara di seluruh dunia, termasuk dari Indonesia. Dedi Suardi contohnya, tatkala mengamati bulan dengan teleskopnya, pria yang dikenal sebagai seniman, penulis dan peminat serius astonomi ini menyaksikan kejadian aneh di permukaan bulan. Pada saat ia mengamati bulan dengan teropong bintang Calestron Catadiotric yang berdiameter 8 ichi, ia tiba-tiba melihat benda hitam mirip anak panah yang dengan gesitnya hilir mudik dari ujung tanduk bulan ke ujung tanduk yang lain. Lebih fantastis lagi, guna mencapai sisi bulan yang lain, benda aneh itu hanya memerlukan waktu 1/2 detik!!kejadian ini berlangsung satu jam sebelum lenyap dari pandangan teleskop. Munculnya beberapa obyek-obyek misterius di sekitar bulan juga sempat dilaporkan oleh para pakar perbintangan Amerika dan Perancis jauh sebelum misi Apollo dilaksanakan yaitu ditahun-tahun disepanjang 1920 - 1930 an. Disepanjang era itu, memang kerap muncul laporan dari para ahli perbintangan mengenai munculnya segerombolan benda-benda terbang yang bersinar dan bergerak hilir mudik di sekitar bulan. Bahkan laporan-laporan tersebut sempat menghiasi surat kabar dan jurnal-jurnal disepanjang tahun tersebut.

Hal yang semakin menggairahkan para peminat astronomi termasuk ufology adalah ketika munculnya laporan mengenai adanya sebuah "jembatan" misterius dipermukaan bulan sepenjang beberap mil yang disaksikan oleh seorang ahli perbintangan terkenal John O'Neill. Pada tanggal 29 Juli 53, ia memang menyaksikan obyek "jembatan" aneh yang memanjang 12 mil di daerah Mare Crisium Bulan. Namun entah mengapa, beberapa hari kemudian jembatan aneh tersebut menghilang. Apakah benar makhluk-makhluk cerdas itu membongkarnya dengan sebab jembatan itu terlalu mencolok sehingga dapat dengan mudah diamati oleh manusia di Bumi? (mengingat letaknya juga tidak pada "dark side" dari bulan itu sendiri)

Sementara kesaksian O'Neil tersebut banyak dicemooh oleh para astronom lain, muncullah kesaksian pakar bulan nomor wahid dari Inggris H.P.Walkins, yang menandaskan bahwa ia pun menyaksikan jembatan aneh yang tiba-tiba muncul itu!! Setelah itu, Patrick Moore, anggota British Astronomical Association, juga melihat jembatan di Bulan yang menghubungkan satu gunung dengan gunung lainnya di dataran Mare Crisium/ Sea of Crysis. Yang lebih aneh lagi, 84 tahun sebelum kesaksian O'Neill, Swift dari Matton II, menyaksikan obyek-obyek yang bergerak melintasi bulan pada tanggal 7 Agustus 1869, dua puluh menit sebelum terjadi gerhana matahari total. Bahkan lima tahun sesudahnya, tepatnya pada tahun 1874, Monsieur Lemey, pakar langit dari Perancis, melaporkan bahwa dirinya melihat objek-objek yang jumlahnya sangat banyak, berwarna hitam, berbondong-bondong melintasi permukaan bulan.

Seorang astronomer Jerman bernama J.H. Schroeter, yang hampir sepanjang hidupnya mengabdikan diri pada pembuatan peta Bulan, pada tanggal 26 September, 1788, melihat sebuah sinar cerah keputihan, persis seperti bintang, tiba-tiba berkilauan disekitar puncak-puncak dipermukaan bulan Alps dekat kawah atau kepundan Plato. Sinar itu terus menerus memancar kira-kira lima belas menit untuk kemudian hilang. Terang sinar ini tidak mungkin berasal dari sebuah meteor.

Di Lowell Observatory di Arizona, pada tanggal 30 Oktober, 1963, seorang astronomer lain, John Greenacre menyaksikan sinar merah dipermukaan Bulan. Sinar itu menurut Greenacre amat kuat hingga "mirip dengan batu permata ruby yang besar."
Baru-baru ini sebuah survey mengenai buku buku dan laporan astronomer membuktikan bahwa telah dibuat 400 laporan mengenai kejadian bulan yang aneh seperti itu dalam suatu periode yang lebih panjang dari 400 tahun. Study cermat ini dilakukan oleh dua orang astronomer terkemuka, Patrick A. Moore dari Armagh Planetarium di Irlandia Utara, dan Barbara M. Middlehurst, dari Lunar Anda Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona.

Faktanya, dari seluruh kejadian misterius di bulan yang berhasil diamati dari bumi ialah cahaya-cahaya aneh dan misterius tersebut berasal dari daerah Mare Crisium, daerah yang tepat sama dengan munculnya jembatan besar yang dilihat oleh O'Neill dan H.P. Wilkins pada tahun 1950-an. Berlusin-lusin astronomer melihat cahaya-cahaya yang kerap membentuk formasi-formasi geometri ini, seakan-akan ada suatu kecerdasan yang mengendalikannya.


Lalu, Adakah sinyal-sinyal membingungkan yang telah mereka kirimkan kepada kita untuk menegaskan bahwa mereka benar-benar eksis?

Suatu hal yang menarik dari pertanyaan diatas ialah bahwa pada periode tahun 1927 - 1934 , dimana pada saat itu merupakan masa permulaan dari teknologi radio kita. Ada beberapa sinyal-sinyal misterius yang berhasil ditangkap di sekitar bulan. tanda-tanda radio ini berhasil ditangkap oleh beberapa penyelidik radio. Salah satu tanda ini berhasil diterima oleh Marconi Tesla.

Di tahun 1956, kembali diterima sinyal-sinyal misterius yang diterima oleh para astronom di Ohio University. Sinyal-sinyal membingungkan ini dikatakan dikirimkan oleh suatu obyek yang bergerak sangat cepat menuju ke Bulan, dan obyek ini berhasil diamati oleh para astronom, baik di Ohio University maupun beberapa astronom Inggris. Tak bisa dimengerti, apa arti dari sinyal-sinyal yang mereka kirimkan kepada kita ini?

Astronot pertama yang melihat UFO ketika sedang mengorbit adalah Mayor Gordon Cooper, selama misi penerbangan mercury 21 orbit dengan Faith 7 (15 Mei, 1963). Ketika sedang melakukan orbit yang keempat dan persis berada diatas Hawaii, ia melaporkan mendengar transmisi suara yang aneh yang dinamakannya "bahasa asing yang tidak dipahami". Ternyata ,suara itu memotong channel VHF yang khusus ditujukan untuk penerbangan angkasa luar. 'Suara yang direkam itu ternyata tidak cocok dengan bahasa apapun yang terdapat didunia ini. Akhirnya terbukti bahwa suara itu tidak diucapkan oleh lidah bangsa apapun didunia ini, tapi di katakan berasal dari lidah yang sama sekali asing bagi dunia kita ini. Walaupun para ahli NASA telah memutar kembali rekaman itu berkali-kali mereka tetap tidak bisa menganalisa-nya, demikian menurut salah satu sumber yang bisa dipercaya.

Kemudian, hampir sebagian besar Astronot Apollo maupun Gemini melihat UFO pada saat memasuki orbit Bulan. Para Astronot Apollo selalu diikuti UFO pada saat perjalanan menuju bulan. Bahkan, ada foto-foto yang membuktikan hal ini semua, terutama foto sebuah UFO yang berhasil diabadikan oleh para astronot Apollo 14 dan 16. Beberapa foto juga memperlihatkan adanya benda-benda terbang misterius yang melayang-layang diatas para astronot di permukaan bulan.

Pada penerbangan Gemini 9 lebih mencenangkan lagi. Pernyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh NASA menyebutkan terjadi guncangan pada tubuh pesawat yang disebabkan oleh benturan obyek terbang berbentuk cakram. Tak hanya itu, bahkan pada misi sebelumnya Juni 1965, Mayor James McDivitt, dan pejalan diangkasa luar pertama, Mayor Edward White melihat dan memotret sebuah benda bercahaya berbentuk seperti telur yang mendekati kapsul Gemini 4 yang sedang diorbitkan. Para astronot menyaksikannya, namun tak mengerti sebenarnya benda apakah itu?

Misi Apollo 11 ke bulan juga ditandai dengan sambutan yang kurang bersahabat. Pada saat pesawat mendekati bulan, para astronot mendengar suara-suara radio aneh yang berbaur dengan siaran radio luar angkasa. Bahkan Mission Control dibuat bingung oleh hal ini.
Suatu laporan yang tidak terkonfirmasi menyebutkan bahwa pada waktu Buzz Aldrin membuka pintu setelah Apollo 11 mendarat di bulan, ia melihat makhluk transparan yang sedang memandangnya dari luar pesawat. Bahkan, ada suatu laporan dari anggota angakasa luar NASA, Otto Binder yang mengisahkan mengenai munculnya sebuah UFO di atas permukaan bulan. Aldrin dan Amstrong menyaksikannya. Binder melanjutkan kisahnya dengan laporan yang mengejutkan dan hampir tidak bisa dipercaya ini : "Agaknya ketika kedua astronaut Aldrin dan Armstrong sedang berputar beberapa jauh dari LEM, Armstrong mencengkam lengan Aldrin dengan bersemangat dan berseru : "Apa ini? Ya ampun, apa ini? Itulah yang ingin kuketahui."

Pada misi Apollo 11, umat manusia di bumi yang diwakilkan oleh beberapa Astronot Apollo 11 dan Presiden Amerika Serikat saat itu Richard Nixon, telah menyapa para penghuni bulan (apabila memang benar ada) dengan salam hangat dan penuh kedamaian. Hal itu dilakukan oleh Niel Amstrong dan Buzz Aldrin yang menancapkan plakat yang telah ditanda tangani oleh mereka bertiga, bertuliskan demikian : " Here man from Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon. July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace for All Mankind "

Itulah pesan dan salam yang kita tinggalkan kepada para penghuni bulan dan para penjelajah luar angkasa lainnya, agar kita dapat menandakan bahwa manusia bumi pernah mengunjungi bulan, kita datang dengan damai bagi mereka. Namun sepertinya para penghuni bulan belum sepenuhnya yakin akan pesan ini mengingat misi Apollo selanjutnya, mereka selalu mencurigai kedatangan kita kesana. Apakah mereka merasa terancam dan takut apabila manusia bumi membangun pusat penelitian dan menguasai tempat mereka tinggal?

Memandang bahwa di bulan terdapat suatu basis makhluk cerdas memang bukan tanpa dasar, sebab para astronaut menyaksikan benda-benda aneh itu. Bahkan sebagian besar ilmuwan yang obyektif harus mengakui bahwa terdapat kejadian yang tidak bisa diterangkan berlangsung di atas permukaan Bulan dan sekitarnya.
Bukti-bukti lain mengenai adanya sesuatu yang tak biasa di permukaan bulan adalah mengenai beberapa foto satelit yang berhasil diambil oleh pesawat ruang angkasa milik Amerika (NASA) dan Rusia. Dari beberapa striktur-struktur permukaan bulan yang berhasil diambil, terdapat obyek-obyek/struktur-struktur misterius yang hanya bisa dilihat apabila dilakukan perbesaran beberapa kali. Pesawat Ruang Angkasa Amerika Serikat, RANGER II yang mengabadikan lebih dari 200 lembar foto di permukaan bulan juga sempat menagkap gambar beberapa obyek terbang misterius yang melayang di sekitar kawah bulan.

Pada Misi Apollo 12 ternyata tidak lebih baik. Roket Saturnus yang besar mengangkut tiga astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad, Dick Gordon dan Allan Bean, ke Bulan pada hari Jumat 14 Nopember, 1969, ternyata juga mengalami kejadian yang aneh. Waktu Apollo 12 baru saja berada pada ketinggian satu mil setengah di atas Bumi, ada suatu cahaya kilat yang menyerang secara tiba-tiba. Kejadian itu mengakibatkan semua peralatan listrik pesawat angkasa luar itu terhenti, meninggalkan baris demi baris ombak sirkuit besar yang tiba-tiba terbuka yang memancarkan nyala hijau terang.

Overloading menyebabkan peralatan fungsional lainnya tidak bekerja, semua sistim macet. Secara otomatis, sistim sel bahan bakar pesawat itu tiba-tiba terputus.
Untuk sejenak, seakan-akan semuanya akan musnah, tapi para astronaut tetap tenang dan kira-kira tiga menit kemudian semua kekuatan dan sistim pesawat pulih kembali. Dari mana asal datangnya kilat yang menyerang itu tetap menjadi misteri bagi para ahli angkasa luar kita.

Star Trek : Sebuah Konsep Menembus Ruang dan Waktu


Referensi:

*Sakti San Jaya, Teori Fisika Mesin Waktu.
*Anwar Effendie, Perjalanan Ruang dan Waktu dalam Kaitannya dengan Penciptaan Alam Raya.

Star Trek, smuanya pasti tau serial televisi bertemakan Fiksi Ilmiah paling legendaris,keren sepanjang masa ini? . Serial yang bertemakan Sci-fi ini ceritanya tentang kehidupan manusia di masa depan barengan ama spesies dari planet dan tata surya lain ( kalo ga salah setting-nya di abad 24, CMIIW). Di seri pertamanya yang dikenal sebagai Star Trek : The Original Series, dikisahkan tentang petualangan pesawat ruang angkasa USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) dalam petualangan menjelajah ruang angkasa, mengunjungi planet-planet asing di beberapa konstelasi bintang yang berjarak ribuan tahun cahaya.

Serial Star Trek pertama yang gw liat adalah seri Voyager, menggambarkan perjalanan pesawat ruang angkasa USS Voyager NCC-74656 dengan kapten Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) yang kelempar ke kuadran delta (yaitu perempat bagian lain dari galaksi bima sakti) oleh suatu kekuatan alien dan mencari jalan kembali ke bumi. Kesannya, pertamakali nonton serial ini gw langsung suka. Konsepnya benar-benar berbeda dari film bertemakan sci-fi lainnya. Yang bikin gw kagum dari serial ini adalah sebuah konsep mengenai wisata/penjelajahan antar bintang-nya, dimana dengan memanfaatkan worm hole (lubang cacing), pesawat ruang angkasa mereka dapat begitu cepat dapat sampai ke suatu konstelasi bintang yang jaraknya sangat-sangat jauh dari tata surya kita. Sedikit membayangkan, mungkinkah wisata seperti ini dapat kita lakukukan dikemudian hari? lalu, kira-kira bagaimana caranya? apakah worm hole benar-benar dapat dimanfaatkan untuk tujuan tersebut? atau adakah alternatif cara lainnya?

Dari sebuah buku yang pernah gw baca berjudul : Fisika Modern Menyingkap Misteri Lubang Hitam, karya Yusman W, M.si, dijabarkan suatu konsep Fisika Modern tentang masalah ini. Sebagaimana juga dipaparkan oleh Anwar Effendie dalam suatu bukunya, nampaknya apa yang sedang diselidiki Mellor dan Moss adalah suatu usaha untuk membuka sensor langit. Bila persoalan ini berhasil mereka pecahkan, maka erosfer dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai lorong waktu untuk mencapai tempat-tempat jauh yang dituju tanpa harus mati terkurung dalam sangkar peristiwa. Karena kecepatan pusingan ruang di ergosfer melebihi kecepatan cahaya, dengan sendirinya waktu menjadi beku, dan kita dapat menjelajah ruang berjarak miliaran tahun cahaya hanya dalam waktu sekejap saja!

Perjalanan Menembus Waktu adalah puncak ilmu manusia, karena dalam masa hidup kita yang hanya puluhan atau ratusan tahun, kita akan mampu menjelajahi galaksi-galaksi yang jauh bukan hanya sekali, tetapi berulang kali!! keren ga?
Perjalanan ini telah diisyaratkan dalam Al-Qur'an sebagaimana kita temukan dalam surat Al-Hijr ayat 14: "Dan jika seandainya kami (telah) membukakan kepada mereka salah satu dari (pintu-pintu) langit, maka (dengan mudahnya) kemudian mereka (akan dapat) naik terus-menerus ke atasnya."

Dengan adanya ayat ini jelas sekali bahwa selain perjalanan menembus langit dengan pesawat antariksa, sebagaimana yang diisyaratkan dalam surat Ar-Rahman ayat 33, masih ada cara lain yang "bebas hambatan". Bebas hambatan disini diartikan apabila pintu waktu telah ditembusnya. Sebab, kesulitannya justru pada awal pemberangkatannya karena harus menggunakan kepesatan cahaya untuk menembus ergosfer dan memperhitungkan pecahan badan pesawat yang harus menjadi korban memeasuki sangkar peristiwa.

Namun, sekali trik ilmu berhasil memecahkan dinding tenaga dahsyat yang menjadi pintu waktu tersebut, maka hambatan alam pun menjadi lenyap semuanya. Dikatakan trik ilmu, sebab secara wajar mustahil akan mampu mendobrak pintu waktu tersebut. Sama halnya seperti ketika abad antariksa dimulai pada tahun 1958. Sebenarnya, kemampuan teknologi pendorong roket masih terlalu lemah untuk dapat diluncurkan satelit atau pesawat dengan kecepatan 11 km/detik agar dapat lepas dari tarikan gravitasi bumi. Tetapi dengan cara menyusun beberapa pendorong ternyata manusia dapat mengatasi hambatannya.

Hambatan terbesar dalam mendobrak pintu waktu tersebut adalah ketahanan badan pesawat yang harus mampu bertahan terhadap guncangan maha dasyat dan tidak samapi robek dan hancur. Cara yang paling wajar adalah dengan membuat beberapa lapis badan pesawat dari bahan berketahanan tinggi, sehingga jika lapis terluar terobek hancur, masih ada lapis-lapis lainnya yang akan dijadikan korban secara bertahap, dan dua lapis terakhir yang akan pecah dua, yang luar untuk melawan pusingan ergosfer dan yang dalam adalah pesawat yang sebenarnya untuk menjelajah langit. Dapat juga dengan roket pendorong bersusun seperti teknologi roket sekarang. Roket pendorong terakhir adalah yang melawan pusingan ergosfer dan masuk ke sangkar peristiwa, sementara pesawatnya sendiri melesat ke depan.

Cara lain adalah dengan memproses bahan pesawat yang bersifat kenyal. Tetapi cara yang paling sesuai nampaknya adalah dengan menggunakan bahan anti benda. Dengan mempelajari sifat-sifat bahan tersebut menjadi benda wujud tampak atau semacam medan tenaga pengurung atau medan elektromagnet seperti dalam mesin-mesin pemercepat zarah. Teknologi pengurungan demikian sudah dimiliki oleh manusia di bumi, sehingga tidak akan terlalu sulit lagi dalam mempraktekannya. Yang masih harus di teliti antibendanya yang akan dijadikan sebagai bahan pesawat.

Bila zarah bertemu dengan antizarah, menurut teori pusingan elektron Dirac, mereka akan saling menghancurkan dan zarah itu akan dihisap ke dalam lubang dengan melepaskan tenaga tumbukan, dan zarah itu akan lenyap karena dia sudah berada dalam ruang tanpa waktu. Ini adalah celah-celah yang memungkinkan manusia dapat menembus waktu dengan selamat.

Kain kafan dari turin
(The Shroud of Turin).
__________________________________________________ ________________
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj199/vjbyubyu/shroudturin.jpg (http://forum.wgaul.com/%3Ca%20href=)


http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj199/vjbyubyu/face.jpg (http://forum.wgaul.com/%3Ca%20href=)
Hingga kini belum terkuak rahasia yang terkait dengan lembar kain kafan dari Turin (The Shroud of Turin). Kontroversi tetap berlangsung hingga kini mengenai asal usulnya, citra siapa yang tertera di kafan itu, soal keaslian dan hubungannya dengan Jesus Kristus.
Pada lembaran kafan dari Turin itu terdapat pola tubuh bagian depan dan belakang manusia. Bentangan kain berukuran kira-kira 4,4 m X 1,1 m itu memang tetap disimpan di Cathedral Saint John the Baptist di Turin, Italia.
Berdasarkan telaah sejarah, tak diketahui secara pasti bagaimana kain kafan itu bisa ditemukan, namun secara persis diyakini bahwa bangsa Eropa pertama sebagai pemilik kafan ini adalah Geoffrey de Charny (1354), seorang Kesatria Prancis.
Tak diketahui pasti lokasi dan siapa pemilik sebelumnya. Diduga kuat sebelum jatuh ke tangan Charny, kain kafan itu sekitar tahun 944 M pernah tersimpan di Constantinopel, ibukota Kerajaan Byzantine.
Hal ini berhubungan dengan catatan Robert de Clari, salah seorang anggota pasukan “Salib” dalam Perang Salib. Pada tahun 1203 ia melaporkan pernah melihat kain kafan pembalut jenazah Jesus itu di salah satu ruang penyimpanan di Constantinopel. Sementara pada tahun 1204, terjadi penjarahan barang-barang berharga di Constantinopel oleh para serdadu pasukan Perang Salib asal Prancis.
Sampai akhirnya Geoffrey de Charny memperlihatkannya pada 1354. Dari sini lah awal mula terjadi kontroversi tentang keaslian kafan tersebut. Pada 1356, Geoffrey de Charny tewas dalam pertempuran Battle of Poitiers melawan serdadu Inggris. Namun kain kafan itu tetap aman ditangan keluarganya.
Setahun kemudian, istri Charny memperlihatkan lembaran kafan itu di salah satu gereja di Lirey, Prancis (Keuskupan Troyes) yang dikepalai Bishop Troyes, Henri de Poitiers. Sang bishop melarang adanya pemujaan terhadap citra yang terdapat pada kafan itu.
Pada 1358, untuk pertama kalinya kain kafan yang diyakini digunakan sebagai pembalut tubuh Jesus itu dipamerkan di Troyes.
Namun Bishop Troyes saat itu, Pierre d’Arcis, dalam suratnya kepada Paus menyangkal keaslian kafan tersebut dan menyebutnya hanya sebagai hasil karya lukis seorang seniman yang tak disebutkan namanya.
Sejak dipamerkan, kain kafan itu menjadi bahan pembicaraan dibanyak tempat. Ada pihak yang meragukan keasliannya, namun tak sedikit pula yang meyakini bahwa kafan itu memang bekas pembalut tubuh Jesus setelah ia wafat dalam penyaliban di Golgotha.
Kemudian pada 1453, Louis Duke of Savoy menerima kafan itu dari keturunan Charny, yaitu Margaret de Charny. Louis kemudian menyimpannya di Saint Chapelle Chapel di Chambery, Prancis.
Namun terjadi peristiwa kebakaran pada tahun 1532 di Chambery. Walau sempat disambar api, tapi kain kafan itu bisa diselamatkan. Kerusakannya hanya terjadi di sebagian kecil kain dan tidak merusak citra tubuh yang tergambar di atasnya. Lantas pada tahun 1578, kain kafan itu kemudian disimpan di Kediaman Savoy (House of Savoy) di Turin, Italia, hingga tahun 1983.
Sejak tahun 1988 penelitian ilmiah terhadap kain kafan ini sudah dilakukan, namun hasilnya tetap meragukan banyak pihak.
Pemotretan Pertama Shroud of Turin
Pemotretan terhadap lembaran Shroud of Turin dilakukan fotografer amatir Italia, Secondo Pia pada 1898. Ia terkejut melihat hasil pemotretannya. Dan foto-foto yang dihasilkannya menjadi telaah detail pertama terhadap kain kafan itu.
Setelah mendapat izin dari otoritas yang bertanggung jawab terhadap Shroud of Turin, Secondo Pia melakukan pemotretan. Inilah kali pertama izin diberikan untuk mengamati Shroud of Turin lebih dekat. Sebelumnya, kain kafan Turin itu termasuk benda yang dilarang untuk dipegang, diamati, apalagi dipublikasi.
Setelah pemotretan selesai, Secondo Pia, memproses foto tersebut. Ia menemukan yang aneh, bahwa imej pada kafan lebih mirip dengan hasil film negatif (negatif film)-nya ketimbang foto positif. Artinya negatif foto sebelum diproses cetak, lebih menyerupai aslinya ketimbang setelah foto itu dicetak. Hasil foto Secondo Pia selanjutnya diteliti.
Dari sinilah jelas gambaran rupa dan detail tubuh yang terpola di kafan itu. Ada dua pola, yakni tubuh bagian depan dan satu lagi bagian belakang.
Gambar wajah yang terpateri memiliki kumis, janggut, dan rambut panjang sebahu. Tubuhnya proporsional dan berotot. Posturnya setinggi 1,75 meter. Citra yang sangat identik dengan gambaran tentang Jesus.
Berbagai Teori dan Penelitian
Pada 1988, Otoritas Holy See memberikan ijin pada tiga pusat penelitian independen untuk melakukan penanggalan radiokarbon dari berbagai sudut kafan itu. Ketiga pusat penelitian tersebut antara lain Universitas Oxford, Arizona, dan Institut Teknologi Federal Swiss.
Dari tiga sampel berbeda dari bagian kafan tersebut, ketiga institut itu punya hasil penanggalan asal kain yang sama. Yakni abad ke-13 hingga ke-14 (1260-1390), meski baru-baru ini mereka menerbitkan analisa kimiawi yang mengindikasikan bahwa sample yang digunakan tidak valid.
Banyak yang menilai bahwa bahan sampel yang diambil berasal dari salah satu sobekan perbaikan kain akibat kebakaran di tahun 1532 . Saat mereka menjadwal ulang penelitian, izin tak pernah disetujui lagi.
Sejumlah peneliti lainnya, termasuk Alan Adler, seorang ahli kimia yang mengkhususkan dalam analisis porphyrin, mengidentifikasi noda pada kafan tersebut sebagai darah bergolongan AB.
Noda merah yang dianggap sebagai noda darah ini juga menjadi kendala. Biasanya, semua noda darah berubah warna dengan cepat, menjadi cokelat kehitaman, sementara noda ini berubah dari warna merah menjadi cokelat normal. Meskipun begitu, noda tersebut kemungkinan tidak berasal dari luka yang berdarah, namun dari tetesan darah beku.
Lain lagi para peneliti di Hebrew University of Jerusalem yang melaporkan bahwa terdapat butiran serbuk sari Gundelia (sejenis kaktus) di sampel kain tersebut. Ini menunjukkan bahwa spesiesnya cocok dengan serbuk sari yang dihasilkan pada musim semi di Israel.
Namun, para peneliti tersebut, Avinoam Danin dan Uri Baruch, bekerja berdasarkan sampel yang disediakan oleh Max Frei, seorang kriminolog kepolisian Swiss yang sebelumnya sempat dikecam karena memalsukan barang bukti.
Penelitian independen yang dilakukan terhadap serbuk-serbuk itu menunjukkan bahwa satu dari 26 butiran yang disediakan mengandung lebih banyak serbuk sari daripada yang lainnya, mungkin hal tersebut menunjukkan adanya unsur kontaminasi yang disengaja.
Masih banyak lagi teori dari hasil penelitian yang menunjukkan banyak keanehan pada pola kain yang terbentuk di kain kafan dari Turin ini. Namun tak ada yang bisa memastikannya. Semuanya masih tetap misteri, dan kita hanya bisa menduga.
bersambung......

Kontroversi Shroud Of Turin
Shroud of Turin masih tetap diperdebatkan. Terlepas dari kepercayaan agama, berbagai pendapat yang muncul berdasar atas telaah ilmiah dan metode identifikasi terhadap hasil foto dan kain kafan itu sendiri.
Kontroversi seputar kain kafan dari Turin ini menyeret ketertarikan banyak ilmuwan dan peneliti. Pada masa pertama sejak kain kafan itu boleh dipotret, dua ilmuwan yang melakukan identifikasi adalah Yves Delage dan Paul Vignon (1902). Dua nama yang cukup terkenal dimasanya. Yves Delage adalah ilmuwan Prancis di Badan Teknologi Prancis yang ahli anatomi, sementara Paul Vignon adalah ahli fotografi.
Menurut Yves, gambaran tubuh pada kafan Turin itu sangat detail. Menggambarkan tubuh pria yang sudah mendapat siksaan teramat berat. Berdasarkan imej pola yang terbentuk dari noda darah (dan cairan lain) yang mengering di kafan itu, menunjukkan bekas-bekas penyiksaan yang jelas.
Setidaknya di bagian wajah ada beberapa bagian bekas pukulan, hidung terluka, pipi membengkak akibat memar, pelipis kanan ada yang lisut, di dahi ada pola bekas tusukan benda tajam yang berderet. Lalu di sekujur tubuh terdapat luka bekas cambukan. Dari luka cambukan itu ada daging yang terkoyak, diduga akibat cambuk yang digunakan memakai benda-benda tambahan sebagai alat penyiksa.
Dari struktur tulang bahu tampak bekas tekanan benda berat. Lalu kedua lutut juga menunjukkan bekas luka akibat jatuh berkali-kali. Sementara di area kedua pergelangan tangan dan kedua kaki ada bekas lubang luka tusukan. Diduga kuat bekas ditembus benda tajam. Di bagian rusuk kanan yang kelima dan keenam ada luka robek.
Laporan identifikasi Yves ini menggambarkan kondisi yang sangat mirip dengan gambaran penyiksaan dan penyaliban Jesus Kristus.
Perdebatan muncul seputar hasil identifikasi Yves dan Paul Vignon. Banyak yang tidak mempercayai identifikasi tersebut, tetapi banyak juga yang mendukung hasil laporan Yves.
Lalu para ilmuwan dan peneliti “berlomba” untuk melakukan penelitian terhadap kafan tersebut. Namun otoritas dan keuskupan melarang penelitian lebih lanjut tentang itu karena satu dan banyak alasan.
Sampai akhirnya sebuah komunitas ilmuwan, STRUP (Shroud of Turin Research Project) diberi izin untuk melakukan serangkaian penelitian dan tes selama 120 jam terhadap kafan tersebut pada 1978. Dibawah limit waktu yang ketat 120 jam, seluruh ilmuwan dalam tim melakukan penelitiannya menyeluruh.
Mereka menggunakan semua metode ilmiah yang mungkin, dari pemotretan ratusan kali, memeriksa serat, mengambil sampel noda pada kafan, sampai sinar X dan sinar ultraviolet. Hasil penelitian ini baru diumumkan pada 1981.
STRUP melaporkan: tidak ada zat-zat pewarna tambahan, cat atau apapun pewarna sintetik yang ditemukan pada kain itu. Penelitian pola gambar pada alat analisis memberikan hasil yang mengejutkan. Pola imej pada kain kafan itu sangat unik. Mereka yakin pola itu bukan buatan tangan, tetapi asli terbentuk karena kontak kain kafan dengan tubuh manusia. Hasil penelitian zat dan elemen pada kafan tersebut membuktikan hal itu.
Namun karena keterbatasan waktu yang diberikan otoritas, mereka tidak mendapat hasil memuaskan yang bisa dipercaya mengenai tahun pembuatan bahan kafan tersebut. Ini lah yang kemudian membuat penelitian tersebut agak diragukan ketelitiannya. Orang masih bertanya, apakah itu memang kafan yang berhubungan dengan peristiwa penguburan Jesus atau bukan? Semua masih misteri

Chupacabra
__________________________________________________ _____

Tiga puluh dua tahun lalu, penduduk Desa Mocca di Puerto Rico dikejutkan peristiwa aneh. Sejumlah besar hewan ternak ditemukan tewas dengan jejak kematian yang mencurigakan. Terbantai dengan bekas luka menyerupai potongan pisau bedah di beberapa bagian tubuh. Peristiwa pembantaian aneh itu diketahui beberapa jam setelah penampakan sebuah cahaya terang aneh UFO di langit malam.
Jasad-jasad hewan ternak (bebek, kambing, angsa, dan sapi) yang terbantai pada tahun 1975 itu kering tanpa darah. Walau terdapat luka luka robek mengerikan, namun darah jasad hewan ternak itu sudah kering seperti bekas dihisap. Kejadian seperti ini belum pernah dilaporkan sebelumnya, dan para peneliti tak bisa menyimpulkan siapa atau apa yang menyebabkan pembantaian hewan ternak dengan jejak luka seperti itu.
Gigitan Mematikan
Ada dua lubang menyerupai pola segitiga berdiameter antara 0,5 – 1,5 cm, seperti bekas taring. Disusul bekas luka robek di sekitar leher, dada, perut, pantat seperti bekas sayatan pisau-pisau bedah kecil yang halus, mengiris daging dengan rapi. Dari luka robek halus itu beberapa bagian dalam tubuh korbannya lenyap tanpa bekas. Yang paling umum adalah hilangnya organ seks, anus, mata, dan organ tubuh bagian dalam lainnya.
Namun jika diamati sekilas luka-luka tersebut mirip bekas gigitan anjing atau babon, yang terarah dan dalam, sehingga menimbulkan kematian mendadak pada korbannya dalam satu serangan.
Fenomena itu mengguncangkan negara kepulauan Puerto Rico di laut Karibia, wilayah utara Amerika Selatan. Penduduk setempat menyebut bahwa itu semacam serangan vampire, monster penghisap darah!
Sepuluh tahun kemudian, kisah pembantaian sejenis pun bermunculan. Mahluk monster itu mulai ramai diperbincangkan dengan sebutan khas “El Chupacabra” atau Chupacabra”. Yang dalam bahasa Spanyol, chupar yakni mengisap dan cabra berarti kambing, sehingga mengandung pengertian mahluk penghisap darah kambing.
Pada 1987, surat kabar Puerto Rico, “El Vocero” dan “El Nuevo” pun melansir berita fenomena seringnya terjadi pembunuhan hewan-hewan ternak seperti ayam, kuda, sapi dan kambing di beberapa wilayah Puerto Rico. Dugaan mengarah pada serangan chupacabra, akibat jejak pembataian di jasad hewan ternak persis dengan kejadian di Mocca tahun 1975!
Fenomena Menyebar
Hampir di setiap daerah yang melaporkan serangan chupacabra, pastilah korbannya hewan ternak terutama kambing. Berdasarkan jejak yang bisa diidentifikasi, kemungkinan serangan chupacabra dilakukan secara cepat dan tak disadari mangsanya. Tak terlihat bekas-bekas perlawanan di sekitar jasad hewan ternak yang terbantai.
Setelah terjadi di Puerto Rico, laporan tentang serangan chupacabra juga muncul di negara-negara Amerika lainnya. Seperti Republik Dominika, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Kolombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Peru, Brazil, AS, dan Meksiko.
Kegemparan pun menyebar di daratan Amerika dan kepulauan sekitarnya, berita-berita mengenai chupacabra mulai ramai disiarkan televisi di Eropa. Pemberitaan itu pun disiarkan berdasarkan sejumlah bukti-bukti yang dikumpulkan mengenai keberadaan mahluk tersebut. Baik berupa bangkai mau pun kesaksian sejumlah besar saksi mata. Beberapa penemuan bangkai yang diduga chupacabra itu kemudian diserahkan kepada para peneliti untuk diungkap lebih lanjut.
Ada desas-desus bahwa chupacabra merupakan monster hasil rekayasa genetik suatu lembaga penelitian AS. Penciptaan mutan tak sengaja yang ternyata melarikan diri dari laboratorium karantina di sekitar El Yungue di Puerto Rico akibat serangan badai dahsyat sekitar tahun 1990-an.
Namun jika benar begitu, dari mana asalnya chupacabra lain yang muncul di daratan Amerika lainnya? Mungkinkah chupacabra bisa menyeberangi laut Karibia dan Samudera Atlantik? Banyak spekulasi soal ini… namun chupacabra tetap menjadi teror mematikan yang menyisakan satu misteri besar bagi dunia!

Orang Pendek

Mungkin teman-teman pernah membaca kisah mengenai makhluk yang satu ini di beberapa majalah maupun surat kabar, karena lumayan banyak yang sudah mengulasnya. Orang pendek ialah nama yang diberikan kepada seekor binatang (manusia?) yang sudah dilihat banyak orang selama ratusan tahun yang kerap muncul di sekitar Taman Nasional Kerinci Seblat, Sumatera. Walaupun tak sedikit orang yang pernah melihatnya, keberadaan orang pendek hingga sekarang masih merupakan teka-teki. Tidak ada seorangpun yang tahu, sebenarnya makhluk jenis apakah yang sering disebut sebagai orang pendek itu. Tidak pernah ada laporan yang mengabarkan bahwa seseorang pernah menangkap atau bahkan menemukan jasad makhluk ini, namun hal itu berbanding terbalik dengan banyaknya laporan dari beberapa orang yang mengatakan pernah melihat makhluk tersebut. Sekedar informasi, Orang pendek ini masuk kedalam salah satu studi Cryptozoolgy, begitulah yang saya dapatkan dari beberapa sumber. Ekspediasi pencarian Orang Pendek sudah beberapa kali di lakukan di Kawasan Kerinci, Salah satunya adalah ekspedisi yang didanai oleh National Geographic Society. National Geographic sangat tertarik mengenai legenda Orang Pendek di Sumatera, beberapa peneliti telah mereka kirimkan kesana untuk melakukan penelitian mengenai makhluk tersebut.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Flicks-4th/orangpendekprint.jpg
ilustrasi mengenai Orang Pendek

Sejauh ini, para saksi yang mengaku pernah melihat Orang Pendek menggambarkan tubuh fisiknya sebagai makhluk yang berjalan tegap (berjalan dengan dua kaki) tinggi sekitar satu meter (diantara 85 cm hingga 130 cm) dan memiliki banyak bulu diseluruh badan. Bahkan tak sedkit pula yang menggambarkannya dengan membawa berbagai macam peralatan berburu, seperti semacam tombak. Keberadaan Orang Pendek sudah terlalu lama terdengar sejak berabad-abad lalu, sehingga hal itu menjadikannya sebagai salah satu legenda masyarakat disana. Dari ekspedisi yang beberapa kali di lakukan, umumnya ada suatu studi kasus mengenai klasifikasi pembagian saksi mata. Pertama saksi dari suku anak dalam, yaitu sekelompok orang yang tinggal disekitar areal Taman Nasional. Kemudian ada beberapa kelompok saksi mata dari orang desa lokal, kemudian beberapa kesaksian dari warga pendatang (Belanda) pada awal abad ke-20.

Legenda Mengenai Orang Pendek sudah secara turun temurun dikisahkan di dalam kebudayaan masyarakat Suku anak dalam. Mungkin bisa dibilang, Suku anak dalam sudah terlalu lama berbagi tempat dengan para Orang Pendek di kawasan tersebut. Walaupun demikian, jalinan sosial diantara mereka tidak pernah ada. Sejak dahulu suku anak dalam bahkan tidak pernah menjalin kontak langsung dengan makhluk-makhluk ini, mereka memang sering terlihat, namun tak pernah sekalipun warga dari suku anak dalam dapat mendekatinya. Ada suatu kisah mengenai keputus asaan para suku anak dalam yang mencoba mencari tahu identitas dari makhluk-makhluk ini, mereka hendak menangkapnya namun selalu gagal. Pencarian lokasi dimana mereka membangun komunitas mereka di kawasan Taman Nasioanal juga pernah dilakukan, namun juga tidak pernah ditemukan.

Awal tahun 1900-an, dimana saat itu Indonesia masih merupakan jajahan Belanda, tak sedikit pula laporan datang dari para WNA. Namun yang paling terkenal adalah Kesaksian Mr. Van Heerwarden di tahun 1923. Mr. Van Heerwarden adalah seorang zoologiest, dan disekitar tahun itu ia sedang melakukan penelitian di kawasan Taman Nasional Kerinci Seblat.
Pada suatu catatan kisahnya, ia menuliskan mengenai pertemuannya dengan beberapa makhluk gelap dengan banyak bulu di badan. Tinggi tubuh mereka ia gambarkan setinggi anak kecil berusia 3-4 tahun, namun dengan bentuk wajah yang lebih tua dan dengan rambut hitam sebahu. Mr. Heerwarden sadar mereka bukan sejenis siamang maupun perimata lainnya. Ia tahu makhluk-makhluk itu menyadari keberadaan dirinya saat itu, sehingga mereka berlari menghindar. Satu hal yang membuat Mr. Heerwarden tak habis pikir, semua makhluk itu memiliki persenjataan berbentuk tombak dan mereka berjalan tegak. Semenjak itu, Mr. Heerwarden terus berusaha mencari tahu makhluk tersebut, namun usahanya selalu tidak berbuah hasil.

gambar sketsa jejak orang pendek

Sumber-sumber dari para saksi memang sangat dibutuhkan bagi para peneliti yang didanai oleh National Gographic Society untuk mencari tahu keberadaan Orang Pendek. Dua orang peneliti dari Inggris, Debbie Martyr dan Jeremy Holden sudah lama mengabadikan dirinya untuk terus menerus melakukan ekspedisi terhadap eksistensi Orang Pendek. Namun, sejak pertama kali mereka datang ke Taman Nasional Kerinci di tahun 1990, sejauh ini hasil yang didapat masih jauh dari kata memuaskan. Lain dengan peneliti lainnya, Debbie dan Jeremy datang ke Indonesia dengan dibiayai oleh Organisasi Flora dan Fauna Internasional (http://fauna-flora.org). Dalam ekspedisi yang dinamakan "Project Orang Pendek" ini, mereka terlibat penelitian panjang disana. Secara sistematik, usaha-usaha yang mereka lakukan dalam ekspedisi ini antara lain adalah pengumpulan informasi dari beberapa saksi mata untuk mengetahui lokasi-lokasi di mana mereka sering dikabarkan muncul. Kemudian ada metode menjebak pada suatu tempat dimana disana terdapat beberapa kamera yang selalu siap untuk menangkap aktivitas mereka. Rasa putus asa dan frustasi selalu menghinggap di diri mereka ketika hasil ekspedisi selama ini belum mendapat hasil yang memuaskan.

Hubungan Kekerabatan Yang Hilang

Beberapa pakar Cryptozoology mengatakan bahwa Orang Pendek mungkin memiliki hubungan yang hilang dengan manusia. Apakah mereka merupakan sisa-sisa dari genus Australopithecus?
Banyak Paleontologiest mengatakan bahwa jika anggota Australopithecus masih ada yang bertahan hidup hingga hari ini, maka mereka lebih suka digambarkan sebagai seekor siamang. Pertanyaan mengenai identitas Orang Pendek yang banyak dikaitkan dengan genus Australopitechus ini sedikit pudar dengan ditemukannya fosil dari beberapa spesies manusia kerdil di Flores beberapa waktu yang lalu. Fosil manusia-manusia kerdil "Hobbit" berjalan tegak inilah yang kemudian disebut sebagai Homo Floresiensis. Ciri-ciri fisik spesies ini sangat mirip dengan penggambaran mengenai Orang Pendek, dimana mereka memiliki tinggi badan tidak lebih dari satu seperempat meter, berjalan tegak dengan dua kaki dan telah dapat mengembangkan perkakas/alat berburu sederhana serta telah mampu menciptakan api. Homo Floresiensis diperkirakan hidup diantara 35000 - 18000 tahun yang lalu.

Apakah Orang Pendek benar-benar merupakan sisa-sisa dari Homo Floresiensis yang masih dapat bertahan hidup? Secara jujur, para peneliti belum dapat menjawabnya.
Peneliti mengetahui bahwa setiap saksi mata yang berhasil mereka temui mengatakan lebih mempercayai Orang Pendek sebagai seekor binatang. Debbie Martyr dan Jeremy Holden, juga mempertahankan pendapat mereka bahwa Orang Pendek adalah seekor siamang luar biasa dan bukan hominid.

Ellora, India

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

Shiva slaying the demon Andhakasura,
who had lusted after his wife Parvati. Ellora, India

The complex of Ellora temples in Maharashtra state represents the greatest example of cave-excavation architecture in the entire world. Built during the Gupta period of the 6th to 8th centuries AD, the caves were constructed by digging into a mountain side and removing thousands of tons of rock, leaving only the temple structures behind. At Ellora there are 34 cave temples; 12 Buddhist, 17 Hindu, and 5 Jain. The concurrent construction and use of these temples by different religions is a wonderful testament to the extraordinary spiritual maturity of ancient India.

The photograph shows Shiva, in the form known as Andakasuramardana, in cave number 29 of the Ellora complex. The magnificent temple, called Sita-ki-Nahani or Dhumarlena, was built between AD 650-725, and is 50 meters wide by 5 meters high. The author's favorite cave-temple at Ellora, it is a serene and powerful place to meditate through the night until the dawn.

As Andakasuramardana, Shiva is a slayer of a blind demon. The goddess Kali crouches below to catch the demon's blood in a bowl. While showing significant motion, this particular Shiva form is not a representation of dancing. During his divine dance, Shiva never has fangs or a fearsome expression, but displays a radiant calm. Mythologically Shiva is regarded as the great master of dance and all the 108 modes of dancing have come from him. Shiva's dancing manifests the Panchakryta or five acts of god: creation, preservation, destruction, embodiment and release. It is said that he dances every evening in order to relieve the sufferings of creatures and entertain the gods and goddesses who gather upon Mt. Kailash. Shiva is believed to have manifested in the Nataraja dancing form at the celebrated pilgrimage shrine of Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu state,

This is a traditional Kyrgyz grave near Lake Issyk-Kul, in Eastern Kyrgyzstan. Graves and natural springs are holy places to the Kyrgyz people. Cemeteries stand out on hilltops, and graves are marked with elaborate buildings made of mud, brick, or wrought iron. Visitors say prayers and mark the graves of holy people or martyrs with small pieces of cloth tied to the surrounding bushes.

"These are called Sotoba (I think). Although they look like happy faces, I believe they have another meaning. I think they show the names of the people whose ashes the grave contains. The characters at the bottom of the sticks signify a date - possibly the date the person died."

Roopkund - Himalaya (The Skeleton Lake)

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

Roopkund is a place in Uttaranchal India, the location of about three to six hundred skeletons at the edge of a lake—Skeleton Lake in the Himalayas. The location is uninhabited and is located at an altitude of about 5,029 metres. The skeletons were discovered in the 1942 when stumbled upon by a park ranger. At that time it was believed that the people died from an epidemic, landslides or a blizzard. The carbon dating from samples collected at that time in the 1960s vaguely indicated that the people were from the 12th century to the 15th century.

Janatul Baqi


http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/rimg0015.jpg

Literally "al-Baqi" means a tree garden. It is also known as "Jannat al-Baqi" due to its sanctity, since in it are buried many of Muhammad The Prophet's relatives and companions.

The first companion buried in al-Baqi was Uthman b. Madhoon who died on the 3rd of Sha'ban in the 3rd year of Hijrah. The Prophet (s) ordered certain trees to be felled, and in its midst, he buried his dear companion, placing two stones over the grave.

On the following years, the Prophet's son Ibrahim, who died in infancy and over whom the Prophet (s) wept bitterly, was also buried there. The people of Madina then began to use that site for the burial of their own dead, because the Prophet (s) used to greet those who were buried in al-Baqi by saying, "Peace be upon you, O abode of the faithful! God willing, we should soon join you. O' Allah, forgive the fellows of al-Baqi".

The site of the burial ground at al-Baqi was gradually extended. Nearly seven thousand companions of the Holy Prophet (s) were buried there, not to mention those of the Ahlul Bayt (a). Imam Hasan b. Ali (a), Imam Ali b. al-Husayn (a), Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a), and Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a) were all buried there.

Among other relatives of the Prophet (s) who were buried at al-Baqi are: his aunts Safiya and Aatika, and his aunt Fatima bint al-Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (a). The third caliph Uthman was buried outside al-Baqi, but with later extensions, his grave was included in the area. In later years, great Muslim scholars like Malik bin Anas and many others, were buried there too. Thus, did al-Baqi become a well-known place of great historic significance to all Muslims.

Tanah Toraja - Indonesia

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

These are some Tanatorajan cave graves carved into the side of a cliff at Lemo, Tanatoraja, Central Sulawesi...

The Torajan people believe that they 'live to die' and have elaborate ceremonies (ie. including the sacrifice of animals such as buffalos and pigs) to celebrate the death of family members...

The Tau Tau, or carved wooden figures in this photo represent effigies of the dead person... the coffins within graves not only contain the body but also some of that person's personal possessions... and it's because of these items that the grave sites were carved into the rockface to prevent grave plundering...

Babies that die before teething are buried in special 'living trees' to help their spirits ascend...

Neuschwanstein Castle

Neuschwanstein Castle, which King Ludwig II built on a rugged hill against a
backdrop of picturesque mountain scenery, was prompted by the idea of rebuilding
an existing ruin "in the authentic style of the old German knights' castles", as
he wrote in a letter to Richard Wagner.
The castle was built by Eduard Riedel and Georg Dollmann from idealized sketches
by the scene painter Christian Jank. While the building itself imitates the
13th-century Romanesque style, the paintings inside predominantly depict scenes
from Wagner's operas such as "Tannhäuser" and "Lohengrin".
The Singers' Hall is modelled on the banqueting hall of the Wartburg near
Eisenach; the decoration includes wall paintings illustrating the Parzival saga.


The church-like Throne Hall was modelled on
Byzantine domed architecture and the Allerheiligenhofkirche (All-Saints Church)
in the Munich Residence and symbolizes Ludwig II's idea of a monarchy by God's
grace. Neuschwanstein is not a copy of a medieval castle but a typical
Historicist creation.

Jack the Ripper (part 1)


Sebenarnya kasus-kasus pembunuhan berantai (serial murder) yang dilakukan oleh Jack the Ripper , hampir tidak ada apa-apanya jika dibandingkan dengan sejarah serial murder yang pernah ada seperti Elizabeth Bathory (mestinya WG-ers tahu siapa Nona Manis yang satu ini, hehehe kalo ga tau juga, ntar gw postingin...) , The Son of the Sam ( bukan the son of the mask ), Ted Bundy dan lainnya.

Namun, yang membuat kasusnya menjadi sangat populer adalah karena adanya suasana mistis yang meliputi kasus ini. Gambaran bahwa seorang berjubah hitam yang muncul dari kabut, mencabut nyawa korbannya dengan cepat lalu menghilang di kegelapan. Dan dia tak pernah tertangkap atau terungkap.

Pada saat kasus itu muncul,sebenarnya nama Jack The Ripper bahkan belum ada. Namun media dan kepolisian banyak menerima surat. Ada yang mencoba memberi saran, ada yang mencoba memberi tahu identitas pelaku dan sebagainya. Sampai suatu hari ada surat yang berasal dari seseorang yang mengaku sebagai pelaku dari semua rentetan kasus pembunuhan sadis itu. Dan di bawahnya tertulis nama Jack The Ripper.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Flicks-4th/jack1.jpg
Gambar 1. surat pertama jack

Awalnya surat tersebut tidak diperhatikan , karena memang banyak surat seperti itu sebelumnya.
Namun tak lama kemudian muncul lagi satu surat yang dianggap dari orang yang sama (karena gaya tulisan, bentuk tulisan dan sebagainya) dan dibawahnya juga tertulis nama Jack The Ripper. Sejak saat itu, polisi dan masyarakat menyebut pelaku kasus itu dengan nama Jack The Ripper. Salah satu kalimat dalam surat itu adalah "They say I'm a doctor...hahahaha....".

Alasan kenapa kepolisan mulai mempercayai surat itu adalah karena Jack menyatakan akan mengirimkan potongan telinga salah satu korbannya. Salah seorang korban yang ditemukan polisi memang kehilangan telinganya. Namun kiriman ini tidak pernah ada.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Flicks-4th/jack2.gif
Gambar 2. surat ke2 jack

Yang ada berikutnya adalah kiriman selembar surat serta potongan ginjal manusia yang telah diformalin. Surat itu tidak lagi ditulis dengan nama pengirim Jack, tapi 'From Hell' (lihat gambar 2). Dari kata inilah judul film From Hell diambil. Apakah surat ketiga ini memang dari orang yang sama atau orang lain, kenyataannya juga tak pernah terungkap.

Fakta-fakta seperti inilah yang akhirnya membuat Jack The Ripper menjadi legenda.

Sepanjang tahun ini, genaplah tempo 119 tahun tragedi terjadinya salah satu kasus pembunuhan berantai paling mengerikan dalam sejarah yang dilakukan oleh seorang "devil" yang dijuluki ‘Jack The Ripper’ di bagian Timur London, England.
Sepanjang tempo satu abad , misteri yang menyelubungi kasus pembunuhan brutal itu masih menjadi sebuah tanda tanya yang belum berhasil terjawab.
Ada beberapa sebab yang menjadikan "Jack The Ripper" dijuluki sebagai lagenda kejahatan dalam sejarah , yaitu selain sang pelaku-nya yang masih misterius hingga saat ini , corak kejahatan yang dilakukannya juga sangat mengerikan dan brutal!!korban-korbannya disembelih, ditikam, tubuh dibelah dan organ-organ dalam-nya dikeluarkan.Arrrrggggghhhhhhhh......

Sebenarnya ,mangsa Jack The Ripper yang kerap juga dijuluki ‘Pembunuh Whitechapel’ hanyalah lima orang pelacur , walaupun ada pendapat yang mengatakan jumlahnya bisa lebih daripada itu.Dan semua kegiatannya itu ia lakukan hanya dalam jangka waktu 3 bulan saja.
Tapi , bagaimanapun juga kekejaman dan misteri pembunuhnya menjadikan kasus pembunuhan berantai ini sangat popular hingga saat kini.

Banyak pertanyaan bermunculan dari kasus ini . Siapakah sebenarnya sang pembunuh berantai dibalik julukan "Jack The Ripper" itu? dan mengapa ia hanya membunuh selama tiga bulan serta lima mangsa saja? Mengapa semua korbannya adalah pelacur? Apa tujuannya membunuh dengan kejam serta mengapa dia akhirnya menghentikan kegiatan itu?

Tidak banyak petunjuk konkrit yang didapatkan untuk menelusuri jejak sang pembunuh . Jack the Ripper digambarkan sangat mahir "memainkan" pisau-pisau mematikannya, mempunyai pengetahuan anatomi tubuh manusia yang cukup baik , serta penguasaan teknik membedah dan memotong bagian-bagian tubuh manusia dengan sangat sempurna.
Yang bisa dikatakan lebih hebat lagi , semua pembataian itu ia lakukan ditengah gelap-nya malam , boleh dibilang tanpa penerangan yang cukup .

Segala misteri itu bermula pada tanggal 31 Agustus 1888 . Sekitar pukul 4.00 dini hari waktu setempat , seorang penduduk menemui mangsa pertama sang "devil" yaitu Mary Ann Nichols, 42, di Whitechapel, East End.
Mayat wanita malang itu ditemukan oleh seorang penduduk setempat dalam keadaan tewas mengenaskan .Bahkan beberapa polisi yang datang ke TKP juga cukup tekejut ketika melihat kondisi mayat.

Dokter yang memeriksa mayat tersebut mendapati sebagian tubuhnya masih panas , ini menunjukkan mungkin wanita ini dibunuh kurang lebih sekitar setengah jam sebelum jasad-nya ditemukan.
Terdapat kesan sayatan benda runcing pada rahang kiri korban , selain itu diperkirakan perutnya juga dibelah menggunakan pisau panjang bergerigi , serta terdapat banyak luka tikaman pada beberapa bagian tubuh yang lain.

Polisi tidak banyak memiliki petunjuk mengenai kasus pembunuhan ini , kerana tidak ada saksi yang melihat atau mendengar suara teriakan korban pada malam kejadian. Selain itu tidak ditemui juga ada-nya senjata tajam yang ditinggalkan sang pelaku di TKP.

Pada 6 Agustus 1888 sebelum kasus pembunuhan Mary, seorang pelacur lainnya, Martha Tabram, 39, ditemui tewas di George Yard dengan luka tikaman benda tajam sebanyak 39 kali pada leher dan bagian kemaluan .
Dari hasil autopsi terhadap jasad wanita itu , didapati leher sang korban turut digorok dan perutnya dibelah. Beberapa pihak berpendapat , pembunuhan Martha merupakan salah satu "hasil karya" Jack The Ripper. Sehingga banyak spekulasi mengatakan bahwa Martha merupakan korban pertama dari rentetan kasus pembunuhan berantai ini.

Delapan hari selepas kematian Mary , penduduk Whitechapel kembali di-gemparkan oleh penemuan sesosok mayat wanita. kali ini menimpa seorang pelacur, Annie Chapman , ia juga ditemukan tewas dalam keadaan mengenaskan .
Ahli bedah forensik mengatakan bahwa Annie tewas dua jam sebelum jasadnya ditemukan . Mereka juga mendapati sebagian kulit perut Annie dibedah , tulang rusuknya dipotong-potong , isi perut dan organ-organ seperti jantung dikeluarkan dan diletakkan di bahu sang korban. Edannya lagi , sebagian kemaluannya juga dipotong!!

Beberapa saksi mengatakan melihat Annie sedang bercengkrama dengan seorang lelaki yang memiliki ciri-ciri berkulit gelap, memakai topi pemburu rusa dan berjubah hitam pada jam 5.30 pagi.
Keterangan para saksi yang turut merujuk kepada "orang asing", membuat polisi menyimpulkan pembunuh adalah pendatang Yahudi dan menimbulkan sentimen di kalangan penduduk pribumi.
Seorang Yahudi, John Pizer yang turut dikenali ‘Apron Kulit’ ditahan , namun ahirnya ia dibebaskan karena ia tak terbukti bersalah dan tidak terkait dengan kasus pembunuhan tersebut.

Mangsa ketiga dan keempat Jack the Ripper ditemukan pada hari yang sama yaitu 30 September 1988. Kali ini korbannya adalah Elizabeth Stride, 45. Ia ditemui tewas berlumuran darah di Dutfield Yard kira-kira pukul 1.00 pagi dengan bekas cekikan dileher dan disinyalir ia mati kurang lebih 30 menit sebelum jasadnya ditemukan.

Pada malam itu pula, polisi sekali lagi dikejutkan dengan penemuan mayat yang juga ditemukan dalam kondisi yang mengenaskan , kira-kira 1.6 kilometer dari lokasi penemuan mayat Elizabeth.
Korban kedua di hari itu adalah Catherine Eddowes, 46. Ia juga ditemukan dalam keadaan tewas berlumuran darah , ada bekas cekikan di lehernya, tubuhnya dibelah dari dada sampai selangkangan dan isi perutnya terburai keluar.
Tidak ketinggalan rahimnya juga ikut dipotong dan dikeluarkan, mukanya hancur karena dikuliti, kelopak mata kanannya dicungkil , hidung dan telinganya hampir putus. Korban tewas kurang 30 minit sebelum ditemukan.

Di TKP , Polisi menemukan sehelai syal/selendang milik sang korban yang berlumuran darah dan didekat-nya terdapat tulisan kapur pada dinding yang berbunyi:
"The Juwes are The men That Will not be Blamed For nothing" (Yahudi adalah pihak yang tidak akan bisa disalahkan tanpa sebab).
Dari sinilah Polisi bisa mengambil kesimpulan , bahwa seorang Yahudi-lah yang ada dibalik kasus pembunuhan berantai legendaris ini.

Sedangkan korban kelima diketahui bernama Mary Jane Kelly . "Ginger" , nama panggilan M.J.Kelly , juga ditemukan dengan kondisi yang sama mengerikannya dengan korban-korban lainnya. Jasadnya ditemukan pada 9 September 1988 , dikamar sewaannya yang berlokasi di Miller's Court, off Dorset Street, Spitalfields.

Lima Orang korban Keganasan Jack the Ripper...dammit...gw ogah ngeliatnya...

Beberapa dugaan-dugaan tentang sosok Jack the Ripper :

• Jack The Ripper diduga memiliki kebencian sekaligus rasa takut terhadap wanita yang mendalam, dan itu juga menjelaskan kenapa dia "berkata" telah membawa pulang "rahim" wanita untuk disimpan (setengahnya "katanya" dia makan dan setengahnya dia kirim ke polisi lewat suratnya "The Hell"). Sesuatu yang wanita punya dan laki2 tidak. Selain itu dia juga membuat korbannya netral (tidak berkelamin) dengan memotong bagian2 tertentu yang membuat korbannya tidak dikenali lagi sebagai wanita. Juga, dia "berkata" telah membawa pulang ginjal dan telinga korbannya. Kalo jantung aku ngga tau.
• Mengetahui jika korbannya selalu prostitute, mungkin dia semacam mempunyai dendam pribadi terhadap prostitute. Mungkin dia pernah disakiti/ditinggalkan orang yang begitu disayanginya untuk bekerja sebagai WTS (note: 95% wanita di East End meninggalkan keluarga dan anak-anaknya untuk bekerja sebagai WTS karena ekonomi yang benar-benar parah di tengah-tengah ibukota Inggris. Mungkin ibunya yang ingin dia bunuh?)
• Ada juga dugaan kalau pelaku adalah seorang dokter atau setidaknya orang yang mempunyai latar belakang pendidikan kedokteran spesialisasi di bidang operasi bedah karena sayatan2 di tubuh korbannya sangat rapih yang hanya bisa dilakukan menggunakan alat-alat operasi/bedah kedokteran yang membutuhkan keahlian khusus.
• kemungkinan besar masa lalunya suram. mungkin suram sekali. Dugaan polisi, pelakunya adalah tukang jagal, dokter, atau tukang cukur. Tidak harus dokter asalkan dia punya pengetahuan anatomi tubuh manusia.
The question is : why the murder never captured?

judulnya "biru" banget yach...
Seratus enam puluh tahun yang lalu di hutan sebelah utara India, reruntuhan dari kota besar yang hilang ditemukan. Ditengahnya, ada komplek Kuil paling rumit yang pernah ditemukan di India. Meski dielu-elukan sebagai karya terbesar dalam seni dan arsitektur, namun kuil tersebut melanggar sopan santun masyarakat yang telah beradab. Sebab tembok kuil dipenuhi dengan gambaran seks paling eksplisit di dunia. Di tempat bangunan itu berdiri, tepatnya di bukit sebelah Utara India, dimana sungai membelah di tengahnya, dahulu pernah berdiri dinasti yang besar. Selama 300 tahun mereka hidup makmur. Di suatu tempat yang disebut Khajuraho inilah mereka membangun gedung pemerintahan dan beberapa kuil terbesar yang pernah ada di India. Yang membuat Khajuraho ini sangat menarik wisatawan mancanegara adalah susunan mengagumkan dari ukiran-ukiran erotik. Sangat jelas ditampilkan setiap posisi seks yang dapat dibayangkan yaitu pertunjukan seks di abad pertengahan. Meski diukir ribuan tahun yang lalu, ukiran-ukiran ini masih memiliki kekuatan untuk membuat malu dan membangkitkan gairah. Dunia arkeologi hingga saat ini belum benar-benar mendapat jawaban yang memuaskan mengenai asal-usul pembuatan kuil-kuil ini. Mengapa di tempat suci kepercayaan mereka bisa terpasang relief-relief seperti ini? apakah tujuan dari itu semua?

Seratus tahun yang lalu, saat kuil-kuil ini ditemukan, karya erotisme India yang kedua dipamerkan di dunia Barat. Tahun 1883 adalah publikasi rahasia pertama dari Kama Sutra, Prinsip Dasar Cinta. Dengan perhitungan yang sangat teliti, bahkan klinis buku itu memuat semua jenis hubungan seksual.Kama Sutra disusun pada abad 4 M oleh Malinaga Vatsayana. Ia mengajarkan anak muda tentang masalah universal mengenai bagaimana memiliki kehidupan memuaskan dan penuh secara seksual. Ia mengajarkan bagaimana menjadi suami yang baik dan pada wanita bagaimana menjadi istri yang baik. Ia menulis secara sensitif tentang menciptakan kepercayaan diri pada seorang gadis. Memperkenalkannya pada seks. "Wanita, memiliki sifat lembut, dan menginginkan awal yang lembut". Di Inggris, Ratu Victoria yang menekan kehidupan seksual, Kama Sutra dikutuk secara terbuka. Tapi segera ia jadi salah satu buku bajakan terbesar dalam bahasa inggris. Jika buku Kama Sutra hanya mendeskripsikan hubungan seksual, lain ukiran di Khajuraho yang menapilkannya pada umum, untuk dilihat semua orang.

‘set dah...arsiteknya mikir apaan tuh??

Bangunan kuil ini sepintas memang terlihat serupa dengan konstruksi Katerdal Gothic di Eropa. Sejarawan Seni dari Univ Pennsylvania, Michael Meister, tertarik pada peran ukiran di kuil ini. Menurutnya, Kuil Khajuraho berasal dari abad 10-12 pada masa arsitektur di India. Penambahan ukiran di kuil adalah bagian dari kekhasan kuil yang menjadikan kuil itu model dari kosmos, yaitu bagaimana dunia diciptakan, dan perbedaan dari dunia. Di Khajuraho, kuil besar didirikan di podium tinggi. Lantai podium melambangkan dunia, di lantai bawah dasar podium saat berada di bawahnya ada papan gambar yang menempel di seluruh lantai bawah yang menunjukkan semua aspek dari kehidupan manusia. Ada relief yang menggambarkan prajurit, raja, dan pekerja yang mengukir batu untuk kuil. Dunia abad pertengahan India bukan merupakan dunia yang hebat. Banyak kebudayaan yang memiliki simbol untuk mewakili alam semesta, tapi hanya di India yang punya penekanan pada erotisme. Beberapa tahun kemudian, banyak ditemukan penjelasan lebih lanjut. Apakah tujuan dari ini semua merupakan murni agama, yaitu ujian bagi pendeta yang hidup selibat mengejek mereka dengan kesenagan duniawi? atau untuk tujuan komersial yang digunakan untuk menarik peziarah dengan mengiklankan prostitusi kuil? atau ukiran itu dijadikan pedoman?

Mungkinkah Kuil dibangun pada saat populasi menurun? Satu hal yang pasti, di India, seks dan agama selalu berjalan bersama. Hingga saat ini di Khajuraho hal tersebut masih tetap berlangung. Setiap tahun di musim gugur, para wanita desa ambil bagian dalam upacara kesuburan kuno. Setiap pagi mereka bangun saat subuh, memakai pakaian terbaiak mereka dan berjalan menuju kuil Chausath Yogini. Di sana, sebelum memasuki kuil, mereka memberi Persembahan bunga dan air. Para gadis berdoa agar pria baik dapat menjadi suaminya, wanita yang telah menikah berdoa agar diberikan anak. Sejarawan seni Devongan Nagasai adalah pemimpin dalam erotisme India. Ia menemukan bahwa Dewi Durga/ Dewi kesuburan memiliki akar kuno dalam aspek seksual dari agama di India. Gambar erotik dari abad 2 SM yang berhasil ditemukan pada seni India pada umumnya dianggap merupakan sesuatu yang dapat membawa keuntungan dan mereka diharapkan dapat mengusir setan. Gambar-gambar erotik telah ada sebelumnya, jauh hingga 2000 SM. Ukiran ini berasal dari pemujaan ibu para dewi. Ia memiliki kekuatan atas masalah dasar kehidupan.


Siapa yang membangun kuil dan dewa lainnya? Peneliti modern mengungkapkan bahwa jawaban itu melibatkan campuran kekuatan, agama dan seks. 40 mil disebelah Utara Khajuraho, terdapat reruntuhan kompleks istana. Dahulu, kompleks istana itu adalah kediaman salah satu pemimpin Dinasti yang sangat kuat di India, Pangeran Chandela. Pada abad 5 pusat perdagangan India mengalami penurunan. Kekuasaan dipindahkan ke pedalaman. Sama halnya di Eropa, India saat itu memasuki jaman kegelapan. Di Perguruan Tinggi Arsitektur dan Ukiran dekat Madras, Selatan India. Para pelajar mempelajari arti dari motif India kuno. Di bawah pengawasan akhli modern, mereka diajarkan memahat batu dengan menggunakan alat pemahat yang digunakan oleh pemahan jaman dulu.

Pada abad 10, dimana saat pembangunan kuil di Khajuraho dimulai keahlian mengukir di India mencapai puncaknya. Namun kompleknya, arti dari seni tersebut menyesatkan karena kebudayaan, penguasa kerajaan dan budak telah membangun takhyul. Ukiran elok di Khajuraho meghidupkan kembali kepercayaan ibu para dewi kuno pada kekuatan magis erotisme.
Di Khajuraho, ukiran erotis memiliki peran baru. Kuil itu terdiri dari 2 bagian, area umum dan tempat suci di dalam yang dihubungkan dengan jalan pintas. Jalan itu adalah tempat manusia bertemu dewa dan disinilah letak ukiran erotis itu berada. Tradisi kuno yang menghubungkan manusia dengan Tuhan melalui seks tak mudah diterima di India modern. Menunjukkan kasih sayang yang umum seperti bergandengan tangan tak diperkenankan. 30 tahun yang lalu, saat kama sutra akhirnya diterbitkan dengan sah di barat, langsung menimbulokan kehebohan.

Kini India berada dalam transisi kebudayaan. Berjuang untuk mendamaikan masa lalu yang erotis dengan masa kini. Bila sejarah adalah petunjuk, India pada akhirnya akan menemukan cara untuk menggabungkan warisannya yang agung. India modern sangat menentang patung erotis di Khajuraho. Meski bangga dengan kemajuan artistiknya dan senang karena banyak turis yang tertarik untuk berkunjung, namun kini masyarakat modern di India telah berkembang jauh lebih sopan dibanding saat di bawah Raja Inggris. Setelah merdeka pada 1948, India membuat undang-undang yang melarang tingkah laku seksual semacam itu. Bahkan dikatakan, bahwa satu anggota parlemen mantan rekan Mahatma Gandhi dengan sungguh-sungguh menyarankan agar patung-patung di Khajuraho ditimbun.

Teori Baru Keberadaan Atlantis

Banyak yang percaya tentang legenda bahwa dahulu kala ada kerajaan maritim yang luas yang terletak di salah satu samudera terluas di dunia. Pengaruhnya demikian besar, sehingga sisa kebudayaan dan warisannya bisa ditemukan diseluruh dunia hingga saat ini. Tafsiran arkeologis menyebutkan bahwa kerajaan maritim yang disebut Atlantis itu terletak di laut Mediterania Barat, ada pula yang berbeda pendapat dengan menyebut pusatnya di Costa Rika dan Antartika. Namun bagi orang yang skpetic, atlantis hanya ada di pikiran penulis dan pemikir kreatif, menurut mereka kerajaan itu hanyalah imajinasi belaka.

Apakah Atlantis hanyalah sebuah Mitos? ataukah seperti kota kuno Troy yang saat ini telah ditemukan setelah berabad-abad hanya dianggap sebagai Kerajaan khayalan dari Filsuf Hommer?

Atlantis merupakan kota hilang yang paling terkenal dan paling dicari sepanjang sejarah. Kepopulerannya bahkan melebihi kota-kota hilang yang lainnya seperti Sodom dan Gomora yang juga sampai saat ini masih dicari sisa-sisa reruntuhannya.
Tak dipungkiri lagi, selama 3 millenium manusia terpesona terhadap cerita Atlantis. Pada abad 4 SM, Filsuf Yunani Plato yang dianggap pemikir paling hebat pada masanya, menulis sejarah benua hilang yang legendaris ini. Namun sayang, asal-usul pasti legenda Atlantis boleh dikatakan tidak jelas. Menurut suatu kisah, cerita mengenai Atlantis diceritakan ke Plato oleh Sokrates dan seorang penyair bernama Solon yang mendengar tentang budaya hilang itu dari seorang pendeta Mesir.

Di dalam Timeus dan Critias, Plato menuliskan kedua dialog yang ia curahkan tentang Atlantis dengan gambaran yang detil dan komprehensif. Kata-katanya yang fasih berfungsi sebagai peta yang digunakan sebagai petunjuk oleh para penjelajah tangguh yang bertekad mencari sisa-sisa kerajaan ini. Berikut cuplikan terjemahan catatan Plato mengenai Atlantis dalam Timeus dan Critias:

"Pulau Atlantis ada di laut. Berhadapan dengan pilar Herkules. Dan wilayahnya lebih besar dari Libya dan Asia yang disatukan. Di tengah bagian terpanjangnya, disebelah laut ada daratan persegi panjang luas. Dikelilingi oleh pegunungan, dan lebih tinggi dari permukaan laut. Mengandung gunung berapi, dan sering terkena gempa dan banjir. Gunungnya menganung emas, perak, tembaga, dan timah. Dan gabungan alami dari emas dan tembaga yang disebut orichalcum.

Daratan itu memiliki sistem kanal yang besar dan kecil, juga mata air dingin dan panas alami. Tanahnya subur dan hasil panennya melimpah. Di dataran itu ada ibukota yang dikelilingi oleh bidang konsentris. Kota itu diliputi tembok batu merah, putih, dan hitam."

Dari cuplikan catatan Plato mengenai Atlantis diatas, digambarkan bahwa kerajaan besar itu sebagai sebuah pulau yang besar, terletak diluar Selat Gibraltar yang disebut orang Yunani sebagai Pilar Herkules. Sebuah pulau yang lebih besar dari Libya dan Asia bila disatukan. Pada abad 4 SM masih belum diketahui bagaimana tatanan dunia. Karenanya sulit bagi kita untuk mengerti dengan pasti apa yang dimaksudkan Plato dengan Asia dan Libya bila disatukan. Sekarang, bisa dikatakan Libya yang dimaksud mungkin sama dengan bagian Afrika Utara. Sedangkan Asia mungkin bisa diwakilkan dengan wilayah Turki dan Timur Tengah. Dari Sudut pandang Plato di Yunani, Atlantis terletak di laut Atlantik, akibatnya mayoritas pencarian benua hilang tersebut di fokuskan di dasar laut.

Jim Allen, ahli peta dan bekas penerjemah intelejen udara AU Inggris memiliki sebuah perspektif baru dalam memeriksa ulang tulisan Plato. Ia menemukan yang ia yakini sebagai inti geografis legenda Plato. Menurutnya, tak ada benua hilang yang terletak diantara sisi seberang laut Gibraltar, maka ia berpendapat mungkin wilayah Atlantis berada di Amerika Selatan. Dengan menggabungkan citra satelit dengan pengetahuan praktis ilmu ukur kuno, Allen yakin ia berhasil membenarkan hampir semua gambaran Atlantis Plato. Ia yakin peradaban hilang tersebut kini telah muncul kedaratan, sangat berbeda dengan yang diyakini banyak orang bahwa reruntuhannya masih terkubur didasar laut.

Altiplano, begitulah yang ditunjuk Allen sebagai wilayah yang ia yakini sebagai Atlantis. Ada sesuatu yang sangat menarik dari wilayah Altiplano yang berhasil diamati oleh Allen dengan foto Satelit yang ia dapatkan, yaitu apa yang tampak sebagai sisa-sisa kanal luas. Kanal luas gambaran Allen membagi dua daratan Altiplano dalam gambar satelit. Pada titik terlebarnya, hampir 600 kaki dari 1 sisi ke sisi lainnya, hampir persis dengan gambaran Plato.
Plato mengatakan Atlantis sebagai sebuah benua, dalam arti benua disamping lautan (lihat image disamping yang ditandai anak panah). Ada dataran persegi panjang, letaknya diatas permukaan laut. Altiplano merupakan sebuah wilayah luas di Amerika Selatan dan langsung berbatasan dengan Laut Pasifik. Wilayah ini memiliki lebar lebih dari 102 mil dan panjangnya hampir 300 mil, ini menjadikan Altiplano sebagai dataran persegi panjang terbesar di dunia. Sangat cocok dengan penggambaran Atlantis Plato.

Kembali ke Timeus dan Critias, Plato mencatat ukuran dataran Atlantis dalam stade. Stade merupakan satuan pengukuran yang sering digunakan oleh ahli matematika Yunani. 1 stade sama dengan 600 kaki. Namun di Amerika Selatan, satu stade hanya 300 kaki, setengah dari satu stade dalam pengukuran Yunani Kuno.
Setelah ukuran dataran Plato dikonversi didapatkan ukuran 113 x 171 mil. Satu-satunya daerah di Benua Amerika yang dapat memuat dataran sebesar ini adalah Altiplano. Ya, Altiplano memiliki hampir semua kriteria yang digambarkan Plato mengenai Atlantis. Suatu wilayah yang dikelilingi oleh pegunungan yang mengandung emas, perak, tembaga, dan timah. Seluruh daerahnya terletak di patahan yang sering mengakibatkan gempa bumi. Altiplano memiliki gambaran yang sempurna mengenai legenda Atlantis.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Flicks-4th/atla1.jpg
Bekas-bekas Kanal di Wilayah Altiplano

Tetapi beberapa ahli tidak setuju dengan Jim Allen dalam keyakinan bahwa Atlantis berada di Amerika Selatan. Mark Aldenderfer, Profesor Antropology dari UC Santa Barbara mengatakan bahwa Altiplano adalah lingkungan yang keras selama 10-15 juta tahun terakhir. Tidak ada hubungan apapun tentang populasi pertanian yang maju seperti yang digambarkan Plato untuk keberadaan Atlantis di wilayah Altiplano.
Daerah Altiplano Bolivia sampai saat ini adalah daerah yang kaya akan mineral. Logam campuran yang disebut sebagai orichalcum yang digambarkan sendiri oleh Plato di bukunya juga dapat ditemukan disini. Dalam dialognya tentang Atlantis, Plato menulis bahwa nilai Orichalcum hanya setingkat dibawah emas. Orichalcum sangat membangkitkan minat karena hanya ditemukan di Altiplano, Andes.

Lalu nama Atlantis itu sendiri yang semakin memperdalam misteri. Plato memberi nama pulau mitologinya sebagai Atlantis mungkin karena dihubungkan dengan raksasa Atlas yang menopang langit. Tapi ada juga teori lain yang menguatkan pendapat Allen. Kata "Atl" berasal dari bahasa Aztec yang berarti air, sedangkan "Antis" memiliki arti tembaga dalam bahasa Inca. Semua kata yang menyusunnya terdiri dari 2 kata dari bahasa dua peradaban kuno terbesar di Amerika Latin selain peradaban Maya kuno, yaitu peradaban Aztec dan Inca. Saat ini, Allen memfokuskan hanya untuk menemukan ibukota Atlantis. Pencariannya membawanya ke Pampa Aullagas, gunung berapi yang tidak aktif yang dikelilingi lautan pasir dan bebatuan. Allen yakin bahwa di sini ibukota Atlantis berada sebelum tenggelam kedalam lautan luas. Lautan yang kini telah surut dan menjadi anak sungai sempit dan kumpulan air yang lebih kecil. Kini, daerah ini hanya meninggalkan sisa-sisa dasar laut yang kering dan gersang.

Sistem Posisi Global Genggam (GPS) yang dibawa Allen, bekerjasama dengan 12 satelit orbit. Melalui proses triangulasi, sistem itu memberikan info dalam bujur dan lintang di lokasi manapun di seluruh dunia. Ini memungkinkan Allen untuk menentukan posisi pasti pusat ibukota Atlantis di Altiplano. Menurut Plato, kota itu dikelilingi oleh dinding yang mengitari sehingga berbentuk lingkaran penuh dengan jarak 50 stade dari cincin kota. Dan Allen menemukan reruntuhan dinding di tempat itu. Reruntuhan dinding dengan lebar sekitar 1200 kaki yang sangat cukup untuk menopang semua bangunan seperti yang digambarkan Plato. Cincin konsentris juga memungkinkan penduduk untuk mereklamasi daratan dari dasar danau dan menciptakan bentuk suatu pulau. Allen mengecek ulang info GPS dengan Peta Navigasi Taktis Altiplano. Dengan merubah stade menjadi meter, ia menentukan posisi secara manual. Angkanya cocok dan bagi Allen, tampaknya dinding itu ada di tempat seharusnya. Walau ia telah temukan daerah yang sangat mirip dengan kerajaan Plato, beberapa pakar menganggap kesimpulannya terlalu dini. Tanpa menghiraukan lawannya, Allen merasa daerah Altiplano penuh bukti yang ditulis Plato tentang dataran tinggi ini...

Jack the Ripper (part 1)


Sebenarnya kasus-kasus pembunuhan berantai (serial murder) yang dilakukan oleh Jack the Ripper , hampir tidak ada apa-apanya jika dibandingkan dengan sejarah serial murder yang pernah ada seperti Elizabeth Bathory (mestinya WG-ers tahu siapa Nona Manis yang satu ini, hehehe kalo ga tau juga, ntar gw postingin...) , The Son of the Sam ( bukan the son of the mask ), Ted Bundy dan lainnya.

Namun, yang membuat kasusnya menjadi sangat populer adalah karena adanya suasana mistis yang meliputi kasus ini. Gambaran bahwa seorang berjubah hitam yang muncul dari kabut, mencabut nyawa korbannya dengan cepat lalu menghilang di kegelapan. Dan dia tak pernah tertangkap atau terungkap.

Pada saat kasus itu muncul,sebenarnya nama Jack The Ripper bahkan belum ada. Namun media dan kepolisian banyak menerima surat. Ada yang mencoba memberi saran, ada yang mencoba memberi tahu identitas pelaku dan sebagainya. Sampai suatu hari ada surat yang berasal dari seseorang yang mengaku sebagai pelaku dari semua rentetan kasus pembunuhan sadis itu. Dan di bawahnya tertulis nama Jack The Ripper.

Gambar 1. surat pertama jack

Awalnya surat tersebut tidak diperhatikan , karena memang banyak surat seperti itu sebelumnya.
Namun tak lama kemudian muncul lagi satu surat yang dianggap dari orang yang sama (karena gaya tulisan, bentuk tulisan dan sebagainya) dan dibawahnya juga tertulis nama Jack The Ripper. Sejak saat itu, polisi dan masyarakat menyebut pelaku kasus itu dengan nama Jack The Ripper. Salah satu kalimat dalam surat itu adalah "They say I'm a doctor...hahahaha....".

Alasan kenapa kepolisan mulai mempercayai surat itu adalah karena Jack menyatakan akan mengirimkan potongan telinga salah satu korbannya. Salah seorang korban yang ditemukan polisi memang kehilangan telinganya. Namun kiriman ini tidak pernah ada.

Israel makes palestinian schoolgirls sexually promiscuous by selling them aphrodisiac bubble-gum

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a141_bubblegum.jpg

"Palestinian authorities uncovered Israeli efforts to spread a special kind of gum that contains sexual hormone between Palestinians. The authorities requested laboratory tests on the gum which were conducted in Cairo. Those tests showed that the gum contains progesterone which is responsible for sexual arousal and also prevents pregnancies. Palestinian authorities confiscated 200 tonnes of gum in the city of al-Khalil alone. The Washington Post claimed in report that if it asked a chemistry professor in the Hebrew university to examine the gum. His tests were negative, however the paper also reported that the majority of Palestinians believe the conspiracy. It quoted one Palestinian saying that it was possible to send a space ship to Mars then it is possible to manufacture a 'sexual gum' it is after all a war."

Wingdings font has a secret message of approval to kill Jews

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a141_font.jpg

Wingdings is a font included in all versions of Microsoft Windows, with a history of controversy. In 1992, only days after the release of Windows 3.1, it was discovered that the character sequence "NYC" in Wingdings was rendered as a skull and crossbones symbol, Star of David, and thumbs up gesture. This could be interpreted as a message of approval of killing Jews, especially those from New York City. Microsoft strongly denied this was intentional, and insisted that the final arrangement of the glyphs in the font was largely random. (The character sequence "NYC" in the later-released Webdings font, in turn, is rendered as eye, heart, and city skyline, which could be interpreted as "I Love New York City". Microsoft has stated that this is intentional.)

An urban legend that spread after the September 11, 2001 attacks was that if the sequence "Q33NY" is typed in Wingdings, the Q becomes an aircraft, the threes become lined documents (which resemble skyscrapers), the N becomes a skull and crossbones, and the Y becomes the Star of David. The resulting graphics look like an aircraft preparing to impact the World Trade Center, with a message of death for those of Jewish faith. The "NY" stands for New York, and "Q33" allegedly was the designation of one of the aircraft. However, the theory that this has any valid non-accidental connection with the attacks falls apart under scrutiny: the terrorist attacks were not specifically directed at Jews, and none of the aircraft used on that day bore the designation of Q33. Another suggestion was that "Q33" was a reference to a bus route, typically alleged to be at the World Trade Center itself, or to one of the airports involved. In reality, bus route Q33 serves LaGuardia Airport, and none of the hijacked aircraft took off from or were heading there.

Various other combinations of Wingdings characters are alleged to have special significance by conspiracy theorists

Stephen King killed John Lennon

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a141_lennon.jpg

Steve Lightfoot's book "Lennon Murder Expose" suggest his theory with "strong" evidence from government codes in the bold print headlines of Time. His website (http://www.lennonmurdertruth.com/)'s introduction reads: "Contrary to all reports about a lone drifter named Mark David Chapman who allegedly shot John Lennon in the back December 8, 1980 you'll find ample evidence in the back issues of Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report magazines to suggest otherwise. Namely, that John Lennon was, not only politically assassinated, but that Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and, you'd better sit down, horror novelist Stephen King are the three people who can be proven guilty of the crime. King being the real murderer and Chapman but a look-alike, paid actor misleading you with an absolute hoax, the media in tow."

"The evidence, specifically, is government codes in the bold print headlines of Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report magazines that were printed shortly before, during, and after the night of December 8, 1980. Hints in the headlines that you won't find anywhere else that plug into John Lennon's assassination with up to 70% frequency at times. These government codes, which read like gallows humor; «Thinking About John Lennon...Johnny Comes Marching Home...Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, Ouch, Ouch...The Job Richard Nixon Really Wanted...Blasting the Opposition...America Needs A Poet Laureate...Maybe...Heeding Those Subtle Signs...Magazine Maze...All the Presidents Magazines...». These codes include the killer's face and true identity printed three and two months before the crime replete with headlines describing the then yet to come crime scene: «One Great Big Zippo Lighter...Perils of Pyrokinesis». Pyrokinesis means fire and movement, and a man at night with a gun ablaze, crouched in a raincoat looks like a great big cigarette lighter. Subtle but dramatic codes."

The Early Middle Ages (614–911 AD) never occurred. Year 2007 is actually 1710

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a141_middleages.jpg

The Phantom time hypothesis is a theory developed by Heribert Illig (born 1947) in 1991, which suggests that the Early Middle Ages (more precisely, the period 614–911 AD) never occurred, meaning that all artifacts attributed to this period are from other times and that all historical figures from this period are outright fabrications. The vast majority of historians believe this theory to be wrong.

The basis of Illig's claims is the paucity of archaeological evidence that can be reliably dated to this period; perceived inadequacies of radiometric and dendrochronological methods of dating this period, and the over-reliance of medieval historians on written sources. For Western Europe, Illig claims the presence of Romanesque architecture in the tenth century as evidence that less than half a millennium could have passed since the fall of the Roman Empire, and concludes that the entire Carolingian period, including the person of Charles the Great, is a forgery of medieval chroniclers, more precisely a conspiracy instigated by Otto III and Gerbert d'Aurillac.

The theory also stems from the belief that during the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in Europe (1582 AD), while compensating for a ten day discrepancy in the old Julian calendar, many dates were falsely (or ineptly) recalculated as the new system created a thirteen day discrepancy. The original mathematical blemish was attributed to the Julian year being 1.3 minutes too long (which is commonly agreed as factual).

Teori Konspirasi yang Paling Aneh! (2)

NASA Faked the Moon Landings

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a141_moon.jpg

Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations are claims that some or all elements of the Apollo Moon landings were faked by NASA and possibly members of other involved organizations. Some groups and individuals have advanced alternate historical narratives which tend, to varying degrees, to include the following common elements:

The Apollo Astronauts did not land on the Moon;
NASA and possibly others intentionally deceived the public into believing the landing(s) did occur by manufacturing, destroying, or tampering with evidence, including photos, telemetry tapes, transmissions, and rock samples;
NASA and possibly others continue to actively participate in the conspiracy to this day.

Enthusiasts of this theory claim that: The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation
The photos were altered: the Crosshairs on some photos appear to be behind objects, rather than in front of them where they should be
The quality of the photographs is implausibly high.
There are no stars in any of the photos, and astronauts never report seeing any stars from the capsule windows.
Identical backgrounds in photos that are listed as taken miles apart.
The moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.
No blast crater appeared from the landing
The launch rocket produced no visible flame.
The flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon.

Many commentators have published detailed rebuttals to the hoax claims. According to a 1999 poll conducted by the The Gallup Organization, what Gallup termed an "overwhelming majority" of the US public, some 89 percent, did not believe the landing was faked, while 6 percent did and 5 percent were undecided.

Paul McCartney is dead. The current is just a lookalike

The supposed death of Paul McCartney, a member of the Beatles, was the subject of a rumour that began circulating in October 1969. Proponents of the theory, which is commonly referred to as the Paul is dead hoax, claim that McCartney died in a car crash in late 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike before the recording of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The supposed "clues" are given throughout the post-1966 Beatles material in the form of peculiar album covers, possible symbolism in strange lyrics, and backmasking. The rumour started when radio DJ Russ Gibb received a call from a listener who claimed that McCartney had died and the Beatles (namely John Lennon) had sprinkled clues throughout the Beatles' albums for fans to pick up on. The rumour quickly died down in 1970 after McCartney revealed himself to be alive on the cover of Newsweek magazine. However, some theorists still maintain that Paul is dead and the Paul McCartney who played with Wings and in the Super Bowl is the same lookalike who played with the Beatles after Revolver.

Alien Reptiles are dominating the World

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a141_reptilian.jpg

According to BBC Reporter David Icke, reptilian humanoids are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at manipulation and control of humanity. He contends that most of the world's leaders, from William Jefferson Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and George W. Bush to members of the British royal family, are in fact related to the 7-foot (2.1 m) tall, blood-drinking reptilians from the star system Alpha Draconis.

According to an interview with David Icke, Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, claims that Diana told her that the Royal Family were reptilian aliens, and that they could shapeshift. David Icke and others have claimed that U.S. President George W. Bush and his family are part of this same bloodline.

Icke claims, based on his exploration of genealogical connections to European royalty, that many presidents of the United States have been and are reptilian humanoids. In his view, United States foreign policy after September 11 is the product of a reptilian conspiracy to enslave humanity, with George W. Bush as a servant of the reptilians. He also theorizes that the reptilians came to Earth from the constellation Draco.

Gay bombs: Strong aphrodisiacs to cause "homosexual behavior"

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_gay.jpg

"Gay bomb" is an informal name for a theoretical non-lethal chemical weapon, which a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing.

In 1994 the Wright Laboratory in Ohio produced a three-page proposal of a variety of possible nonlethal chemical weapons, which was later obtained—complete with marginal jottings and typos—by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request. In one sentence of the document it was suggested that a strong aphrodisiac could be dropped on enemy troops, ideally one which would also cause "homosexual behavior". The aphrodisiac weapon was described as "distasteful but completely non-lethal". In its "New Discoveries Needed" section, the document implicitly acknowledges that no such chemicals are actually known.

Bat bombs: Incendiary bombs attached to bats

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_bat.jpg

Bat bombs were tiny incendiary bombs attached to bats, that were developed by the United States during World War II with the hope of attacking mainland Japan. Four biological factors gave promise to this plan. First, bats occur in large numbers (four caves in Texas are each occupied by several million bats). Second, bats can carry more than their own weight in flight (females carry their young — sometimes twins). Third, bats hibernate, and while dormant they do not require food or complicated maintenance. Fourth, bats fly in darkness, then find secretive places (such as flammable buildings) to hide during daylight.

The plan was to release bomb-laden bats at night over Japanese industrial targets. The flying bats would disperse widely, then at dawn they would hide in buildings and shortly thereafter built-in timers would ignite the bombs, causing widespread fires and chaos. The bat bomb idea was conceived by dental surgeon Lytle S. Adams, who submitted it to the White House in January, 1942, where it was subsequently approved by President Roosevelt. Adams was recruited to research and obtain a suitable supply of bats.

Who, Me?: A bad odor weapon to humiliate the enemy :kakaka:

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_whome.jpg

Who Me? was a top secret sulfurous stench weapon developed by the American Office of Strategic Services during World War II to be used by the French Resistance against German officers. Who Me? smelled strongly of fecal matter, and was issued in pocket atomizers intended to be unobtrusively sprayed on a German officer, humiliating him and, by extension, demoralizing the occupying German forces.

The experiment was very short-lived, however. Who Me? had a high concentration of extremely volatile sulfur compounds that were very difficult to control: more often than not the person who did the spraying ended up smelling as bad as the sprayed. After only two weeks it was concluded that Who Me? was a dismal failure. It remains unclear whether there was a successful Who Me? attack.

Pam Dalton, a cognitive psychologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, describes the smell of Who Me? as resembling "the worst garbage dumpster left in the street for a long time in the middle of the hottest summer ever". A recipe for a kilogram (2.2 lb) of the same or equivalent substance in circulation on the Internet specifies 919 g (32.4 oz) of white mineral oil as an inert carrier, and 20 g (0.7 oz) of skatole, 20 g (0.7 oz) of n-butanoic acid, 20 g (0.7 oz) of n-pentanoic acid, 20 g (0.7 oz) of n-hexanoic acid and 1 g (0.04 oz) of pentanethiol as the active ingredients.

Anti-tank dogs: Hungry dogs with explosives

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_dog.jpg

Anti-tank dogs, also known as dog bombs or dog mines, were hungry dogs with explosives harnessed to their backs and trained to seek food under tanks and armoured vehicles. By doing so, a detonator (usually a small wooden lever) would go off, triggering the explosives and damaging or destroying the military vehicle.

The dogs were employed by the Soviet Union during World War II for use against German tanks. The dogs were kept without food for a few days, then trained to find food under a tank. The dogs quickly learned that once released from their pens, food could be found under tracked vehicles. Once trained, the dogs were fitted with an explosive charge and set loose into a field of oncoming German tanks and other tracked vehicles. When the dog went underneath the tank—where there was less armour—the charge would detonate and damage the enemy vehicle.

According to Soviet sources, the anti-tank dogs were successful at disabling a reported three hundred German tanks. They were enough of a problem to the Nazi advance that the Germans were compelled to take measures against them. An armoured vehicle's top-mounted machine gun proved ineffective due to the relatively small size of the dogs and the fact that they were low to the ground, fast, and hard to spot. Orders were dispatched that commanded every German soldier to shoot any dogs on sight. Eventually the Germans began using tank-mounted flame-throwers to ward off the dogs. They were much more successful at dissuading the attacks, but some dogs would not stop.

In 1942, one use of the anti-tank dogs went seriously awry when a large contingent ran amok, endangering everyone in the battle and forcing the retreat of an entire Soviet division. Soon afterward the anti-tank dogs were withdrawn from service. Training of anti-tank dogs continued until at least June 1996.

Fire balloons: Incendiary hydrogen balloons

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_ballon.jpg

Fire balloons or balloon bombs where hydrogen balloons with a load varying from a 12 kg (26 lb) incendiary to one 15 kg (33 lb) antipersonnel bomb and four 5 kg (11 lb) incendiaries attached. They were launched by Japan during World War II, designed to wreak havoc on Canadian and American cities, forests, and farmlands. Launch sites were located on the east coast of the main Japanese island of Honshu.

From the late 1944 until early 1945, the Japanese launched over 9,000 of these fire balloons, of which 300 were found or observed in the U.S. Some guesswork gives the total number that made the trip at about 1,000. Despite the high hopes of their designers, the balloons were relatively ineffective as weapons, causing only six deaths and a small amount of damage, and they survive in memory mostly as an ingenious and dangerous curiosity. The bombs caused little damage, but their potential for destruction and fires was large. The bombs also had a potential psychological effect on the American people. The U.S. strategy was not to let Japan know of the balloon bombs' effectiveness. Cooperating with the desires of the government, the press did not publish any balloon bomb incidents. As a result, the Japanese only learned of one bomb reaching Wyoming, landing and failing to explode, so they stopped the launches after less than six months.

Exploding rats: Rat carcasses filled with plastic explosives

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_rat.jpg

Exploding rats were a weapon developed by the British army in World War II for use against Germany. Rat carcasses were filled with plastic explosives, with the idea that when the rats were shovelled along with coal into boilers, they would explode, causing significant damage. However, the first shipment of carcasses was intercepted by the Germans, and the plan was dropped. The Germans exhibited the rats at top military schools, and conducted searches for further exploding rats.

Killer Dolphins: To seek and destroy submarines using kamikaze methods

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_dolphin.jpg

A military dolphin is a cetacean trained for military uses. The United States and Russian militaries have trained and employed oceanic dolphins for several reasons. Such military dolphins have been trained to rescue lost divers or to locate underwater mines.

The U.S. Navy openly trains dolphins and sea lions under the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program, which is based in San Diego, California. Military dolphins were used by the U.S. Navy during the First and Second Gulf War. About 75 dolphins are in the Navy's marine mammal program.

The Russian military is believed to have closed its marine mammal program in the early 1990s. In 2000 the press reported that dolphins trained to kill by the Soviet Navy had been sold to Iran.

Due to the secrecy of such practice, rumors of military dolphins include training them to lay underwater mines, to kill enemy combatants, or to seek and destroy submarines using kamikaze methods. There has even been speculation about the potential development of sophisticated equipment, such as poison darts, sonar jamming devices, and so on for dolphins, and about combat between cetaceans of both superpowers. The U.S. Navy denies ever having trained its marine mammals to harm or injure humans in any fashion or to carry weapons to destroy ships.

Project Pigeon: A pigeon-guided missile

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_pigeon.jpg

During World War II, Project Pigeon (or Project Orcon, for "organic control") was American behaviorist B. F. Skinner's attempt to develop a pigeon-guided missile.

The control system involved a lens at the front of the missile projecting an image of the target to a screen inside, while a pigeon trained (by operant conditioning) to recognize the target pecked at it. As long as the pecks remained in the center of the screen, the missile would fly straight, but pecks off-center would cause the screen to tilt, which would then, via a connection to the missile's flight controls, cause the missile to change course. Three pigeons were to control the bomb's direction by majority rule.

Although skeptical of the idea, the National Defense Research Committee nevertheless contributed $25,000 to the research. However, Skinner's plans to use pigeons in Pelican missiles was apparently too radical for the military establishment; although he had some success with the training, he could not get his idea taken seriously. The program was cancelled on October 8, 1944, because the military believed that "further prosecution of this project would seriously delay others which in the minds of the Division have more immediate promise of combat application."

Project Orcon was revived in 1948 by the Navy and was finally canceled in 1953.

Cat Bombs: To sink German ships

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/a128_cat.jpg

The earliest examples of cats being used in warfare dates back to the Ancient Egypt during a war against Persia. The Persians, fully aware of the reverance that Egyptians paid to their felines, rounded up as many cats as they could find and set them loose on the battlefield. When the Egyptians were faced with either harming the cats or surrendering, they chose the latter.

During World War I, cats were used in the trenches as an attempt to keep the rat population down and some cats were used as poison gas “detectors”.

The most creative way to use a cat as a weapon happened in World War II. The United States' OSS (Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of the CIA) needed a way to guide bombs to sink German ships. Somebody hit upon the inspiration that since cats have such a strong disdain of getting wet and always land on their feet that if you attached a cat to a bomb and drop it in the vicinity of a ship, the cat's instinct to avoid the water would force it to guide the bomb to the enemy's deck. It is unclear how the cat was supposed to actually guide a bomb attached to it as it fell from the sky but the plan never got past the testing stages since the cats had a bad habit of becoming unconscious mid-drop.

Not to be outdone by its predecessor, the CIA also attempted to use cats but this time as a bugging device during the Cold War. Although a disaster as a guided bomb, the CIA thought that a cat would make the perfect covert listening device in a project known as Operation Acoustic Kitty. They attempted to surgically alter the cat by placing a bugging device inside him and running an antenna through its tail. The project took five years and $15 million dollars before the first field test hit a slight snag when the bugged kitty was released near a Russian compound in Washington and was immediately hit by a car while crossing the street. The project was ended soon after.

This is a reconstruction of a grave excavated just a few kilometers outside of Varna. It is on display at the Varna Archaeological Museum. The museum guide states that the grave dates from approximately 4400 BC and contains 990 pieces of gold, weighing 1.5 kilos, signifying that it is the grave of a leader or a priest.

Grave of Chopin - Paris

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

The grave of Frederic Chopin (1810-1849), world-renowned classical composer/pianist, in the famous Pere Lachaise cemetery. He died at only age 39 in Paris of tuberculosis; reportedly Mozart's Requiem was performed at his funeral, which was held in the Church of the Madeleine. At his request, however, his heart was interred at the Holy Cross Church in Warsaw (which I visited briefly during my stay there). The grave is one of the most popular in the cemetery and is still visited by thousands of people yearly, hence the flowers and offerings!

Philibert Aspairt's grave

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/phiphi2.jpg

Masih ingat dengan foto Paris Catacombs yg pernah gw upload ke thread ini? nah ini ada cerita ttg catacombs tsb.

Under Paris exists another world : the former quarries which were used to build Paris. They are more often called the catacombs, in reference to a very little part of this network where is stacked thousands and thousands of bones dating of the French Revolution.

There is approximately 180 km of galeries running 20meters under the streets of Paris which are the remaining parts of Paris quarries.

As every mysterious place, there is some legends.
The most famous is this story of the key keeper of the val de grace, Philibert Aspairt, who wanted to discover the treasure of Chartreux's monks. He decided to enter the former quarries on day of 1793. Nobody heard of him before 11 years. In 1804 the quarries general inspection found a dead man in it. The keys he was wearing identified him... Philibert Aspairt was burried in the same place he was found, and its grave is in the picture.

Pasargadae (Cyrus Tomb)

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/pasargad_1.jpg

Pasargadae (Persian: پاسارگاد) was a city in ancient Persia, and is today an archaeological site and one of Iran's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. According to the Elamite cuneiform of the Persepolis fortification tablets the name was rendered as Batrakataš, and the name in current usage derives from a Greek transliteration of an Old Persian Pâthragâda toponym of still-uncertain meaning.
Its ruins lie 87 km (54 mi) northeast of Persepolis, in present Fars province of Iran, and was the first capital of the Persian Empire. The construction of the capital city by Cyrus the Great, begun in 546 BCE or later, was left unfinished, for Cyrus died in battle in 530 BCE or 529 BCE. Pasargadae remained the Persian capital until Darius began assembling another in Persepolis. The modern name comes from the Greek, but may derive from an earlier one used during Achaemenid times, Pâthragâda.

The most important monument in Pasargadae is undoubtedly the tomb of Cyrus the Great. It has six broad steps leading to the sepulchre, the chamber of which measures 3.17 m long by 2.11 m wide by 2.11 m high, and has a low and narrow entrance.

During the Islamic conquest of Iran, the Arab armies came upon the tomb and planned to destroy it, considering it to be in direct violation of the tenets of Islam. The caretakers of the grave managed to convince the Arab command that the tomb was not built to honor Cyrus, but instead housed the mother of King Solomon, thus sparing it from destruction. As a result, the inscription in the tomb was replaced by a verse of the Qur'an, and the tomb became known as "Qabr-e Madar-e Sulaiman," or the tomb of the mother of Solomon. It is still widely known by that name today.

Celsus Library of Ephesus - Turkey

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/ephesus-011.jpg

One of the most beautiful structures in Ephesus. Built in 135 A.D., it is a monumental tomb for Gaius Julius Celsus Polemaeanus, the governor of the province of Asia; from his son Galius Julius Aquila. The grave of Celsus is beneath the ground floor, across the entrance. The building was used as a library, the scrolls of the manuscripts were kept in cupboards in niches on the walls. There were double walls behind the bookcases, probably to prevent the manuscripts from humidity. The capacity of the library was more than 12,000 scrolls.

The facade of the library is two-storied, with Corinthian style columns on the ground floor, and behind it, there are three entrances to the building. The one in the middle is higher than the other two. The statues in the niches of the columns today are the copies of the originals, which were taken to Viana on the excavations in 1910. 4 women statues symbolize: wisdom (Sophia), knowledge (Episteme), intelligence (Ennoia) and virtue (Arete) of Celsus.

Humayun Tomb - India

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

Nasiruddin Humayun (March 6, 1508 – February 22, 1556), was the second Mughal Emperor who ruled Afghanistan, Pakistan,and the northern parts of India from 1530–1540 and again from 1555–1556. Like his father, Babur, he lost his kingdom early, but with Persian aid, he eventually regained an even larger one.

He succeeded his father in India in 1530, while his half-brother Kamran Mirza, who was to become a rather bitter rival, obtained the sovereignty of Kabul and Lahore, the more northern parts of their fathers empire. He originally ascended the throne at the age of 22 and was somewhat inexperienced when he came to power.

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

Humayun lost his Indian territories to the Afghan Sultan, Sher Shah, and only regained them with Persian aid ten years later. Humayun's return from Persia, accompanied by a large retinue of Persian noblemen, signalled an important change in Mughal Court culture, as the Central Asian origins of the dynasty were largely overshadowed by Persian art, architecture, language and literature. Subsequently, in a very short time thereafter, Humayun was able to expand the Empire further, leaving a substantial legacy for his son, Akbar the Great.

10. Leafy seadragon

http://divaboo.info/img/sauleafyseadragon01.jpg

Named after the dragons of Chinese mythology, Leafy seadragons (Phycodurus eques) resemble a piece of drifting seaweed as they float in the seaweed-filled water. The Leafy seadragon, with green, orange and gold hues along its body, is covered with leaf-like appendages, making it remarkably camouflaged. Only the fluttering of tiny fins or the moving of an independently swiveling eye, reveals its presence.

Like the seahorse, the male seadragon carries as many as 150-200 eggs. After being deposited by the female, the eggs are carried in the honeycomb-shaped area (known as the brood patch) under the male's tail for approximately eight weeks. Seadragons have no teeth or stomach and feed exclusively on mysidopsis shrimp. Known as "Australian seahorses" in Australia, they are found in calm, cold water that is approximately 50-54° F (10-12° C). Leafy seadragons have been protected by the South Australian government since 1982.

9.Emperor Tamarin

http://divaboo.info/img/Emperor_Tamarin.jpg

The Emperor Tamarin (Saguinus imperator) is a tamarin allegedly named for its similarity with the German emperor Wilhelm II. The name was first intended as a joke, but has become the official scientific name.
This tamarin lives in the southwest Amazon Basin, in east Peru, north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas.
The fur of the Emperor Tamarin is predominantly grey colored, with yellowish speckles on its chest. The hands and feet are black and the tail is brown. Outstanding is its long, white mustache, which extends to both sides beyond the shoulders. The animal reaches a length of 24 to 26 cm, plus a 35 cm long tail. It weighs approximately 300 to 400 g.
This primate inhabits tropical rain forests, living deep in the forest and also in open tree-covered areas. It is a diurnal animal, spending the majority of its days in the trees with quick, safe movements and broad jumps among the limbs.

8.Hagfish

http://divaboo.info/img/Hagfish.jpg

Hagfish are marine craniates of the class Myxini, also known as Hyperotreti. Despite their name, there is some debate about whether they are strictly fish (as there is for lampreys), since they belong to a much more primitive lineage than any other group that is commonly defined fish (Chondrichthyes and Osteichthyes). Their unusual feeding habits and slime-producing capabilities have led members of the scientific and popular media to dub the hagfish as the most "disgusting" of all sea creatures.

Hagfish are long, vermiform and can exude copious quantities of a sticky slime or mucus (from which the typical species Myxine glutinosa was named). When captured and held by the tail, they escape by secreting the fibrous slime, which turns into a thick and sticky gel when combined with water, and then cleaning off by tying themselves in an overhand knot which works its way from the head to the tail of the animal, scraping off the slime as it goes. Some authorities conjecture that this singular behavior may assist them in extricating themselves from the jaws of predatory fish. However, the "sliming" also seems to act as a distraction to predators, and free-swimming hagfish are seen to "slime" when agitated and will later clear the mucus off by way of the same travelling-knot behavior.

7.Star-nosed Mole

http://divaboo.info/img/Star-nosed_Mole.jpg

The Star-nosed Mole (Condylura cristata) is a small North American mole found in eastern Canada and the north-eastern United States. It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura.

It lives in wet lowland areas and eats small invertebrates, aquatic insects, worms and molluscs. It is a good swimmer and can forage along the bottoms of streams and ponds. Like other moles, this animal digs shallow surface tunnels for foraging; often, these tunnels exit underwater. It is active day and night and remains active in winter, when it has been observed tunnelling through the snow and swimming in ice-covered streams. Little is known about the social behavior of the species, but it is suspected that it is colonial.

The Star-nosed Mole is covered in thick blackish brown water-repellent fur and has large scaled feet and a long thick tail, which appears to function as a fat storage reserve for the spring breeding season. Adults are 15 to 20 cm in length, weigh about 55 g, and have 44 teeth. The mole's most distinctive feature is a circle of 22 mobile, pink, fleshy tentacles at the end of the snout. These are used to identify food by touch, such as worms, insects and crustaceans.

6.Axolotl

http://divaboo.info/img/Axolotl.jpg

The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species originates from the lake underlying Mexico City. Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate most body parts, ease of breeding, and large embryos. They are commonly kept as pets in the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Japan (where they are sold under the name Wooper Rooper, and other countries.

Axolotls should not be confused with waterdogs, the larval stage of the closely related Tiger Salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum and Ambystoma mavortium), which is widespread in much of North America which also occasionally become neotenic, nor with mudpuppies (Necturus spp.), fully aquatic salamanders which are unrelated to the axolotl but which bear a superficial resemblance.

5.Tarsier (mungkin klo di indo disebutny kuskus :hehe)

http://divaboo.info/img/Tarsier.jpg

Tarsiers are prosimian primates of the genus Tarsius, a monotypic genus in the family Tarsiidae, which is itself the lone extant family within the infraorder Tarsiiformes. The phylogenetic position of extant tarsiers within the order Primates has been debated for much of the past century, and tarsiers have alternately been classified with strepsirrhine primates in the suborder Prosimii, or as the sister group to the simians (=Anthropoidea) in the infraorder Haplorrhini. Analysis of SINE insertions, a type of macromutation to the DNA, is argued to offer very persuasive evidence for the monophyly of Haplorrhini, where other lines of evidence, such as DNA sequence data, had remained ambiguous. Thus, some systematists argue that the debate is conclusively settled in favor of a monophyletic Haplorrhini.

Tarsiers have enormous eyes and long feet. Their feet have extremely elongated tarsus bones, which is how they got their name. They are primarily insectivorous, and catch insects by jumping at them. They are also known to prey on birds and snakes. As they jump from tree to tree, tarsiers can catch even birds in motion.[citation needed] Gestation takes about six months, and tarsiers give birth to single offspring. All tarsier species are nocturnal in their habits, but like many nocturnal organisms some individuals may show more or less activity during the daytime. Unlike many nocturnal animals, however, tarsiers lack a light-reflecting area (tapetum lucidum) of the eye. They also have a fovea, atypical for nocturnal animals.

4.Dumbo Octopus

http://divaboo.info/img/Dumbo_Octopus.jpg

The octopuses of the genus Grimpoteuthis are sometimes nicknamed "Dumbo octopuses" from the ear-like fins protruding from the top of their "heads" (actually bodies), resembling the ears of Walt Disney's flying elephant. They are benthic creatures, living at extreme depths, and are some of the rarest of the Octopoda species.

3.Yeti Crab

http://divaboo.info/img/Yeti_Crab.jpg

Kiwa hirsuta is a crustacean discovered in 2005 in the South Pacific Ocean. This decapod, which is approximately 15 cm (6 inches) long, is notable for the quantity of silky blond setae (resembling fur) covering its pereiopods (thoracic legs, including claws). Its discoverers dubbed it the "yeti lobster" or "yeti crab"[2].

K. hirsuta was discovered in March 2005 by a group organised by Robert Vrijenhoek of the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Monterey, California, using the submarine DSV Alvin, operating from RV Atlantis[3]. The discovery was announced on the 7th of March, 2006. It was found 1,500 km (900 miles) south of Easter Island in the South Pacific, at a depth of 2,200 m (7,200 feet), living on hydrothermal vents along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge[4]. Based on both morphology and molecular data, the species was deemed to form a new genus and family (Kiwaidae). The animal has strongly reduced eyes that lack pigment, and is thought to be blind.

The 'hairy' pincers contain filamentous bacteria, which the creature may use to detoxify poisonous minerals from the water emitted by the hydrothermal vents where it lives. Alternatively, it may feed on the bacteria, although it is thought to be a general carnivore[2]. Its diet also consists of green algae and small shrimp.

2.Blobfish

http://divaboo.info/img/Blobfish.jpg

The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania. Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans.

Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front it.

1.Aye-aye

http://divaboo.info/img/Aye.jpg

The Aye-aye (Daubentonia madagascariensis) is a strepsirrhine native to Madagascar that combines rodent-like teeth with a long, thin middle finger to fill the same ecological niche as a woodpecker. It is the world's largest nocturnal primate, and is characterized by its unique method of finding food; it taps on trees to find grubs, then gnaws holes in the wood and inserts its elongated middle finger to pull the grubs out.

Daubentonia is the only genus in the family Daubentoniidae and infraorder Chiromyiformes. The Aye-aye is the only extant member of the genus (although it is currently an endangered species); a second species (Daubentonia robusta) was exterminated over the last few centuries.

Mysterious Huge Stone Eggs Discovered in Hunan Province

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/2007-4-17-eggtoo-copy.jpg

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n11/red_conjurer/2007-4-17-egg.jpg

A large number of "stone eggs" were recently discovered along with a copper sword at a construction site in Bandeng Hill and Zhanlong Hill, Gongxi Town of Hunan Province. The discoveries were made by highway construction workers while they were digging the foundation for a road.

The origin of the stone eggs is currently unknown as it is reported that further analysis by experts will be required to determine what they are and where they came from.

Strangely enough, over a long period of geological development, there have not been any volcanic eruptions or volcanic deposits. Furthermore, the eggs are normally found right in the sedimentary rocks. And the greatest question still remains: Where did these round objects come from?

Newport's Mysterious Stone Tower

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

Many people may never have heard of Newport's mysterious Stone Tower, known locally to Rhode Islanders as the Old Stone Mill. For Newporters the Stone Tower, situated off historic Bellevue Avenue in Touro Park needs no introduction, and, indeed, those who know it may have taken the Tower's presence for granted. But how many people are aware that a controversy has surrounded the Old Stone Mill for centuries? Numerous theories regarding the Tower’s origin have been proposed, studied, supported, and discounted by countless people.

The Ark of the Covenant

Ark of the Covenant, atau Bisa disebut Tabut Perjanjian, adalah benda yang diyakini diberi kekuatan oleh Allah SWT, diakui oleh bani Israil, dan sangat ditakuti pada masMenurut Perjanijian Lama, Tabut itu ditempatkan disana sekitar 955 SM. Tapi, sekitar tahun 620 SM rujukan tentang artifak terpenting dalam agama Yahudi ini berhenti. Lenyap begitu saja dari sejarah. Hanya satu hal saja yang jelas, krisis sebesar bencara internal maupun eksternal yang bisa mengeluarkan Tabut itu dari Bait Suci. Krisis pertama yang sesuai dengan hal ini adalah serangan Fir'aun Mesir bernama Shishak, beberapa puluh tahun setelah Bait itu dibangun. Sekenario Shishak inilah yang mengilhami petualangan Indiana Jones di Mesir dalam film Indiana Jones : Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Tabut Perjanjian di dalam film Indiana Jones : Raiders of the Lost Ark


Dimulai dari Yerusalem, Kota yang mungkin terlalu suci bagi banyak orang. Di tengahnya terletak sebuah bukit bernama Gunung Moria, yang kini menjadi situs Dome of the Rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome_of_the_Rock) / Qubbah As-Sakhrah yang luar biasa. Selain Dome of the Rock, dikompleks tersebut (Al-Haram ash-Sharif) terdapat Masjidil Aqsha. Dari sini, Muhammad s.a.w dinaikan ke langit (Sidratul Muntaha) dalam peristiwa Mi'raj. Jauh Sebelum itu, Yesus/Isa a.s menyembuhkan orang buta dan sakit di sini, sehingga kaum Kristiani juga menyebutnya tanah suci. 1000 tahun sebelumnya, King Salomo/Sulaiman a.s membangun bait aslinya di gunung ini untuk menyimpan benda misterius yang disebut the Ark of the Covenant / Tabut perjanjian.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Flicks-4th/Dome_du_Rocher_vu_de_l_est_tb042403.jpg


Dome of the Rock, Temple Mount, Jerusalem

Di masa itu, tempat ini adalah pusat dari agama Yahudi. Bagaimana tabut itu sampai disini dan bagaimana bisa lenyap dari sini? itulah teka-teki yang mengundang obsesi. Apa yang terjadi pada benda terpenting di perjanjian lama ini sehingga bisa lenyap begitu saja?

Kisah Tabut itu berawal lebih dari 3000 tahun yang lalu. Seseorang memimpin 2 juta orang ke Gurun Sinai. Ia butuh campur tangan Ilahi dalam skala yang luar biasa dan ia akan mendapatkannya. Orang itu adalah Moses/Musa a.s yang memimpin kaumnya keluar dari perbudakan di Mesir. Tiga bulan mengembara setelah mukjizat terbelahnya laut merah, Ia membawa orang Israel ke Gunung Sinai. Tuhan akan melimpahkan hadiah yang belum pernah ada bagi umat manusia. Dari ratusan hukum yang ada di dalam Perjanjian Lama semuanya seolah diturunkan dari suatu tempat. Tapi tidak dengan 10 hukum besar yang dibawa Musa turun dari Gunung Sinai ini. Ada sepuluh perintah Allah yang diturunkan kepada Musa di Gunung Sinai, dan perintah-perintah itu tertulis pada dua loh batu. Musa juga membuat tempat/wadah yang digunakan untuk menyimpan sepuluh perintah Allah yang disampaikan kepadanya di Gunung Sinai ,yaitu apa yang kita sebut sebagai Tabut Perjanjian. Tabut itu dibuat sangat spesifik, berwujud peti kayu dengan panjang 1,2 meter, lebar 61 cm, dan tinggi 61 cm. Terbuat dari kayu keras yang disebut akasia, bagian luar dan dalamnya disepuh dengan emas murni. Di sudut-sudut tabut harus ada 4 cincin emas, dimana kayu pengusung yang juga disepuh dengan emas dapat dimasukkan untuk membawa Tabut tersebut. Tutupnya yang juga disebut sebagai "tumpuan kaki tuhan" harus juga terbuat dari emas murni, dimana Patung Mailakat bersayap emas (kerubim) juga diletakkan di ujung-ujung atasnya dan saling berhadapan.
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Flicks-4th/moses_with_tablets.jpg
Ilustrasi tentang turunnya TCM ( Ten Commandments) dari Allah SWT di Gunung Sinai yang disampaikan kepada Musa

Tabut itu berfungsi sebagai sambungan langsung bagi Musa pada Tuhan. Akan muncul awan cerah diatas tutup emas di antara kerubim itu saat Tuhan ingin menyampaikan sesuatu pada hamba-Nya. Tuhan memerintahkan hanya pendeta dari suku Lewi yang bisa membawanya. Berat tabut itu mungkin beberapa ratus pon, tapi menurut legenda ia bisa terangkat sendiri walaupun tidak ada seorangpun yang mengangkatnya.

Tidak ada seorangpun, bahkan pendeta Lewi yang boleh menatapnya. Jadi, mereka selalu menutupinya dengan kain biru dan kulit binatang. Sejak awal, tabut itu sudah menampakkan sisi berbahaya. Beberapa hari kemudian, dua keponakan Musa mencoba memberikan persembahan kepada Tabut itu dan keduanya langsung mati terbakar. Menurut legenda, kerubim itu memercik tanpa henti, menghanguskan orang dan benda yang menyentuhnya. Tabut itu mendampingi Kaum Israel 40 tahun lama-nya selama mereka mengembara dan berperang. Bersama tabut itu, orang Israel mampu menaklukkan tanah yang dijanjikan. Benda ini mengandung kekuatan dan kepentingan yang tak terbayangkan. Menurut cerita dalam Alkitab Yahudi, tabut itu dibawa di depan pasukan dalam setiap pertempuran, tiap pertempuran selama penaklukkan orang Israel akan tanah Kanaan. Ia terus menerus dibawa dalam perang agar musuh dapat terkalahkan dan Tabut itu akan selalu berada di garis depan. Ada catatan luar biasa bahwa tabut itu terangkat dari tanah dan terbang menuju kearah musuh sambil mengeluarkan suara-suara erangan.

Satu orang malang bernama Uza, hanya berniat menstabilkan Tabut tersebut saat tampak goyah sewaktu diangkat oleh para pendeta Lewi, dan ia langsung mati terbakar. sesudahnya, Musa memerintahkan agar dibuatkan kemah/tenda untuk meletakkan Tabut itu. Bukan untuk melindunginya dari orang, tapi justru sebaliknya.
Kemenangan militer pertama dan paling terkenal dari tabut itu yaitu runtuhnya tembok kota Yerikho/Jericho (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jericho). Pendeta Lewi yang bertugas membawa Tabut, mengangkutnya mengitari kota bertembok itu sekali sehari selama 6 hari. Di hari ke-7, mereka berkeliling 7 kali dan menyuruh meniup sengkala. Seketika itu juga tembok kota itu pun runtuh.

Route of the Exodus


300 tahun kemudian, Tabut itu meninggalkan orang Israel dan dampaknya sangat buruk bagi mereka. Saat pendeta tinggi mengabaikan kewajiban kurban mereka , Tabut itu tak melindungi mereka dalam perang melawan orang Filistin. 30 ribu orang tewas dan orang Filistin mengambil tabut itu. Namun, tujuh bulan kemudian orang Filistin mengembalikannya. Wabah borok dan tikus merebak akibat Tabut itu.
Akhirnya, di bawah King David ( Daud a.s ), orang Israel bisa mengalahkan orang Filistin, lalu memenangkan pertahanan terakhir dari pihak lawan. Kemudian, Kota Yerusalem yang dijadikan ibukota. Tuhan menyuruh Daud mendirikan Bait Suci untuk menempatkan tabut tersebut, tapi puteranya Salomo/Sulaiman a.s yang mebangunnya. Karena kasus itu, Gunung Moria menjadi "titik tertinggi" di dalam kota tersebut.

Visi Salomo untuk Bait itu tak seperti yang pernah dilihat orang. Hanya kayu cedar dan batu terbaik yang dipakai untuk membuatnya, dan titik tertingginya menjulang hingga 20 lantai. Salomo berhutang besar untuk membangunnya, karenanya ia harus memberikan 20 desa terdepan untuk kerajaan tetangga. Setelah memeriksa masih berisi dua buah batu sepuluh perintah Allah yang tersimpan didalam Tabut, Salomo lalu menempatkannya di tengah-tengah Bait Suci Mahakudus. Hanya pendeta tinggi saja yang bisa mendekati dan memasuki ruang penyimpanan tersebut, itupun mereka harus masuk dengan menggunakan pakaian khusus sambil membakar dupa.

Lalu, bagaimana benda penting yang berisi kehadiran Allah bisa lenyap begitu saja? Sekarang, di manakah tabut itu berada? itulah teka-teki terbesarnya .
Banyak orang masih mencari tabut tersebut hingga saat ini, dan itu dimulai dari Bait Suci yang dibangun Salomo sebagai tempat untuk menyimpan Tabut. Tapi kini, tak ada satupun artifak atau batu yang menunjukkan di mana tepatnya tabut itu berdiri di Bukit Bait Suci Yerusalem. Tembok ratapan yang terkenal, mungkin sekarang merupakan situs suci Yahudi yang berharga. Tembok ini adalah merupakan sisa-sisa Bait Suci kedua yang dibangun berabad-abad setelah tabut itu lenyap. Sebagian penyembah di sini menunggu saatnya penghuni Bukit Bait Suci Dome of the Rock milik Islam hancur. Dan Bait Suci Yahudi ke-3 akan didirikan di tempat tersebut. Inilah salah satu faktor yang menimbulkan perselisihan hebat tanpa henti antara Israel dan Palestina hingga sekarang.

Sumber-sumber Mesir menegaskan bahwa Fir'aun bernama Sheshonq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheshonq) yang menyerang Israel sekitar tahun 1000 SM, dan membawa banyak harta ke Tanis. Tentu saja pahlawan kita, Indiana Jones menemukan tabut itu di sana sambil dikejar-kejar oleh tentara NAZI. Tapi sayang bagi para penggemar Stephen Spielberg, agaknya jelas Sheshonq tak pernah menguasai kota Yerusalem. Karena Ia hanya cukup puas dikirimi setumpuk harta dan upeti agar tidak menyerang Yerusalem. Apakah yang disebut sebagai harta dan upeti itu adalah tabut perjanjian? berapa besar kemungkinannya?

lanjuuutt....

Jawabannya sederhana saja, yaitu tidak. Mustahil mereka sukarela menyerahkan benda tersucinya. Lebih jauh lagi, rujukan bahwa tabut itu masih berada di Bait Suci waktu Paskah Yahudi di masa pemerintahan Hosea sekitar tahun 620 SM. Tapi 30 tahun kemudian, tahun 587 SM, muncul krisis yang menurut banyak cendekiawan menjelaskan hilangnya tabut tersebut. Kota dan Bait Sucinya diduduki dan dijarah orang Babilonia dipimpin oleh raja terkenal Nebukadnezar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebuchadrezzar_II). Nampaknya tabut itu dibawa oleh para tentara Babilonia. Tapi tunggu dulu, orang Babilonia adalah birokrat dan pencatat yang sangat ahli dan mereka mencatat terperinci segala hal yang diambil dari Bait Suci. Satu benda yang jelas tak tercatat yaitu Tabut Perjanjian, benda utama di Bait Suci. Orang Babilonia tak mencatatkannya diantara barang-barang jarahan karena benda itu sudah tidak ada disana. Jadi, dimanakah tabut itu?
Mungkin tak ada seorangpun yang mengetahui dimana saat ini benda itu berada. Namun, ada harapan kritis bagi semua yang percaya bahwa Tabut itu masih ada di dunia dan belum hancur. Mungkin ada seseorang yang cukup cerdik menyelundupakan tabut itu keluar dari Bait sebelum bahaya menjadi krisis.

Yeti ~ The Unknown Man-Beast

http://z.about.com/d/paranormal/1/0/d/A/yeti_lg.jpg http://img.metro.co.uk/i/pix/2007/09/YetiPicture_450x300.jpg

The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an apelike animal cryptid said to inhabit the Himalaya region of Nepal and Tibet. The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region,[1] and are part of their history and mythology. Nepalese have various names for Yeti like "Bonmanche" which means "wild man" or "Kanchanjunga rachyyas" which means "Kanchanjunga's demon."

Most mainstream scientists, explorers and writers consider current evidence of the Yeti's existence to be weak and better explained as hoax, legend or misidentification of known species,[2] yet it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology, the study of unconfirmed animals. The Yeti can be considered a Himalayan parallel to the Sasquatch or man-beast.

Name variations

The name Yeti is derived from the Tibetan yeh-ti (Tibetan: གཡའ་དྲེད་; Wylie: g.ya' dred), a compound of the words yeh (Tibetan: གཡའ་; Wylie: g.ya'), meaning "rocky" or "rocky place", and pe-tah (Tibetan: དྲེད་; Wylie: dred), which translates as "bear", the full name being "rock bear".[3][4][5][6][7]

Pranavananda[3] states that the words "ti", "te" and "teh" are derived from the spoken word 'tre' (spelled "dred"), Tibetan for bear, with the 'r' so softly pronounced as to be almost inaudible, thus making it "te" or "teh".[3][7][8]

Other terms used by Himalayan peoples do not translate exactly the same, but refer to legendary and indigenous wildlife:
Jo-bran, Kang Admi, Mir ka, Migoi, Dzu-teh, Meh-teh (Tibetan: མི་དྲེད་; Wylie: mi dred) translates as "man-bear"[5][7][9]
Dzu-teh - 'dzu' translates as "cattle" and the full meaning translates as "cattle bear" and is the Himalayan Red Bear.[4][10][8][11][7]
Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan: མི་རྒོད་; Wylie: mi rgod) (pronounced mey-goo) translates as "Wild Man".[11][8]
Mirka - another name for "wild-man", however as local legend has it "anyone who sees one dies or is killed". The latter is taken from a written statement by Frank Smythe's sherpas in 1937.[12]
Kang Admi - "Snow Man"[11]
Jo-bran - "Man-beast"

Himalayan wildlife attributed to the Yeti sightings include the Chu-Teh, a Langur monkey [1] living at lower altitudes, the Tibetan Blue Bear, the Himalayan Brown Bear and the Dzu-Teh (commonly known as the Himalayan Red Bear).[2]

The term Yeti is often used to describe various reported creatures:
A large apelike biped (that some suggest could be a Gigantopithecus)
Human-sized bipedal apes (the Almas and the Chinese wildman)
Dwarflike creatures (such as the Orang Pendek).

The term is often used to refer to creatures fitting any of the aforementioned descriptions. For example, the fear liath has been dubbed as the "Scottish Yeti".

The "Abominable Snowman"

The appellation "Abominable Snowman" was not coined until 1921, the same year Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Howard-Bury led the Royal Geographical Society's "Everest Reconnaissance Expedition"[13][14] which he chronicled in Mount Everest The Reconnaissance, 1921[15] In the book, Howard-Bury includes an account of crossing the "Lhakpa-la" at 21,000 feet (6400 meter) where he found footprints that he believed "were probably caused by a large 'loping' grey wolf, which in the soft snow formed double tracks rather like a those of a barefooted man". He adds that his Sherpa guides "at once volunteered that the tracks must be that of "The Wild Man of the Snows", to which they gave the name "metoh-kangmi".[15] "Metoh" translates as "man-bear" and "Kang-mi" translates as "snowman".[3][5][16][11]

A bit of confusion exists between Howard-Bury's recitation of the term "metoh-kangmi"[13] [15] and the term used in H.W. Tilman's book Mount Everest, 1938[17] where Tilman had used the words "metch" (which may not exist in the Tibetan language)[18] and "kangmi" when relating the coining of the term "Abominable Snowman".[17][5][19][11] Further evidence of "metch" being a misnomer is provided by Tibetan language authority Professor David Snellgrove from the School of Oriental Studies in London (ca. 1956), who dismissed the word "metch" as impossible to conjoin the consonants "t-c-h" in the Tibetan language."[18] Documentation suggests that the term "metch-kangmi" is derived from one source (from the year 1921).[20] It has been suggested that "metch" is simply a misspelling of "metoh".

Like the legend itself, the origin of the term "Abominable Snowman" is rather colourful. It began when Mr Henry Newman, a longtime contributor to The Statesman in Calcutta (using the pen name "Kim")[6], interviewed the porters of the "Everest Reconnaissance expedition" upon their return to Darjeeling,[21][22][17][23]. Newman mistranslated the word "metoh" as "filthy" or "dirty", substituting the term "abominable", perhaps out of artistic license. [24] As author H.W. Tilman's recounts, "[Newman] wrote long after in a letter to The Times: The whole story seemed such a joyous creation I sent it to one or two newspapers'".[17]

Penemuan sisa-sisa kereta Fir'aun

On diving down to the sea bed, in 1978, Ron Wyatt and his two sons found and photographed numerous coral encrusted chariot parts. Several dives since then have revealed more and more evidence. One of his finds included an eight spoke chariot wheel, which Ron took to the director of Egyptian Antiquities, Dr. Nassif Mohammed Hassan. After examining it he immediately announced it to be of the eighteenth dynasty, dating the exodus to 1446 BC. When asked how he knew this Dr. Hassan explained that the eight spoke wheel was only used during this period, the time of Ramases II and Tutmoses (Moses). Chariot boxes, human skeletal remains, four, six and eight spoke chariot wheels all lie as a silent testimony to the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea.

Rama's Bridge Palk Straits


Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The bridge currently named as Adam´s Bridge is made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long.

The bridge´s unique curvature and composition by age suggests that it may be man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago.

This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in Tredha Yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago).

In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.

Some believe that this mythological story occurring millions of years ago where "Monkey people" assist King Rama to cross to Sri Lanka is exactly that - mythology. It is, however, NOT mysterious if you learn the facts.

The literary and archeological data point to a more reasonable timeframe around 1900 B.C.E. when Prince Rama was assisted by Hanumant, a leader of a small tribe known as 'Vahner' to enhance the natural rock formation between India and Sri Lanka to cross it to move in troops and arms for a war with a Lankan King. The word 'Vahner' was mistranslated into Sanskrit as 'Vanara' which means 'Monkey' and the mythology grew from there. Given that nearly 4000 years have passed since this Epic, it is understandable that most people have forgotten the underlying historical basis for the mythological Ramayana Epic.

Anubis (Inpew, Yinepu, Anpu) was an ancient Egyptian god of the underworld who guided and protected the spirits of the dead. He was known as the 'Lord of the Hallowed Land' - the necropolis - and Khenty Amentiu, 'Foremost of the Westerners' - the Land of the Dead was thought to be to the west, where the Egyptians buried their dead. (Khenty Amentiu was the name of a previous canine deity who was superseded by Anubis.) The worship of Anubis was an ancient one - it was probably even older than the worship of Osiris. In the pyramid texts of Unas, his role was already very clear - he was associated with the Eye of Horus and he was already thought to be the guide of the dead in the afterlife, showing them the way to Osiris. In the text, it was written that "Unas standeth with the Spirits, get thee onwards, Anubis, into Amenti, onwards, onwards to Osiris."

He was generally depicted as a black jackal-headed man, or as a black jackal. The Egyptians would have noticed the jackals prowling around the graveyards, and so the link between the animal and the dead was formed in their minds. (It has been noticed by Flinders Petrie that the best guides to Egyptian tombs are the jackal-trails.) Anubis was painted black to further link him with the deceased - a body that has been embalmed became a pitch black color. Black was also the color of fertility, and thus linked to death and rebirth in the afterlife. Anubis was also seen as the deity of embalming, as well as a god of the dead. To the Egyptians, Anubis was the protector of embalming and guardian of both the mummy and the necropolis.

Anubis was often identified by the word sab, 'jackal' rather than 'dog' (iwiw). Though to the Egyptians there was not a great deal of difference between the two canines, so there is some confusion over which animal Anubis actually was. The animal is sometimes referred to as the 'Anubis animal' as it is unknown which exact species of canine that Anubis actually was based on.

When the Osiris worship came to power, Osiris took over many of Anubis' jobs as caretaker and protector of the dead. As this happened, Anubis became 'He Who is Before the Divine Booth', the god of embalming who presided over the funerary rituals. The funerary stm priests would wear a mask of the jackal god during the mummification process, symbolically becoming the god for the rituals.

The preliminary stages of mummification involved the opening - the violation - of the body, an action that only Anubis himself would have been allowed to perform. The priest who took on this role was called the 'Overseer of the Mysteries' (hery seshta). It was thought that he would be magically become the funerary god himself and so be able to legitimately cut open the corpse for the mummification process.

He is sometimes called the son of Nephthys and Set or of Nephthys and Osiris. In one train of thought, it was believed that Isis raised him, as Set might murder his wife's illegitimate son, and so he grew up a friend and follower of Osiris. He was thought to have a daughter known as Kebechet (Kabechet, Kebehut), who was depicted as a snake or ostrich carrying water. She was the goddess of freshness and purification through water who washed the entrails of the deceased and brought the sacred water to Anubis for his tasks. She was thought to give water to the spirits of the dead while they waited for the mummification process to be complete. She was probably related to mummification where she would fortify the body against corruption, so it would stay fresh for reanimation by the deceased's ka.

It was believed that Anubis was the one who invented the process of mummification. Anubis helped Isis bring her husband back to life again after Set had killed him. He embalmed the body of the god, swathed it in the linen cloths that had been woven by the twin goddesses, Isis and Nephthys, making sure that the body would never decay or rot.

The wakening of the dead was also thought to be a function of Anubis. He would appear by the mummy, and awaken the soul. The mummy was removed from the sarcophagus when it arrived at the door of the tomb and was placed upright against the wall by a priest wearing the mask of Anubis, thought to have become the god himself. The 'Opening of the Mouth' ceremony was then performed. It consisted of a number of rituals that would turn the mummy (or a statue of the dead) into an inhabitable vessel for the deceased's ka. The ceremonies involved purification, sensing and anointing of the mummy along with incantations. The mummy was touched by ritual objects on various body parts to restore the senses - the spirit would then be able to see, hear, speak and eat as a living being. Some of the tools for this ritual have been found in predynastic Amratian graves, so it is probable that at least some of the rituals involved in the 'Opening of the Mouth' had evolved from this early time.

After the deceased had been placed into the tomb and sealed up, it was thought that Anubis would lead the deceased to the afterlife, along with another god, Wepwawet (Upuaut). The two are very similar, though Wepwawet was also another ancient jackal or wolf god, appearing on the Narmer palette. He was not just a god of the dead, but he was a warrior god who opened the way to victory for the pharaoh. The 'Opener of the Ways' helped Anubis to guide the dead to the Halls of Ma'ati. It was here that Anubis, as 'He Who Counts the Hearts', watched over of the weighing of the heart and the judging of the deceased. Here it was his duty to see that the beam of the scales was in its proper place, and that the weighing was done correctly. He would then pass judgment on the deceased and Thoth would record the pronouncement. Anubis would protect the innocent from the jaws of Ammut, but would give the guilty to her to meet the final death.
According to E.A. Wallis Budge in The Gods of the Egyptians Anubis shared the duty of guiding the dead through the afterlife with another jackal-headed god ... "Opener of the Ways"). These two gods both "opened the ways", although Anubis was the opener of the roads of the North and Wapwawet the opener of the roads to the South. Budge goes on to say that Anubis was the personification of the summer solstice, and Wapwawet of the winter solstice.
A strange fetish, known as the imiut fetish, was linked to Anubis. It was a headless stuffed skin (usually of a great feline), tied by its tail to a pole which was planted in a pot. Known as the 'Son of the hesat-Cow' (the cow that produced the Mnevis bull was linked to the cow goddess Hesat), another title of Anubis, they is evidence of this fetish as early as the 1st Dynasty. They were linked to the funerary cult, depicted in the Chapel of Anubis at Hatshepsut's mortuary temple and actual golden fetishes being left in the tomb of Tutankhamen. These emblems of Anubis were placed at the western ends of the corridors, one on each side of the outermost shrine at Tutankhamen's tomb. The pots were made of Egyptian 'alabaster' and the poles represented the water lily water lily (lotus) stem and bud while the tip of the skin's tail had a papyrus flower attached and the pole and fetish itself were gilded. Other fetishes have been found made of real animal skin that have been wrapped in bandages. In early times there was a god, Imiut, who was known as 'He Who is in His Wrappings' who became a form of Anubis. The fetish was probably linked with mummy wrappings though it also appears to have been related to the royal jubilee festival.
Anubis the Dweller in the Mummy Chamber, Governor of the Divine House ... saith:- Homage to thee, thou happy one, lord! Thou seest the Utchat. Ptah-Seker hath bound thee up. Anubis hath exalted thee. Shu hath raised thee up, O Beautiful Face, thou governor of eternity. Thou hast thine eye, O scribe Nebseni, lord of fealty, and it is beautiful. Thy right eye is like the Sektet Boat, thy left eye is like the Atet Boat. Thine eyebrows are fair to see in the presence of the Company of the Gods. Thy brow is under the protection of Anubis, and thy head and face, O beautiful one, are before the holy Hawk. Thy fingers have been stablished by thy scribe's craft in the presence of the Lord of Khemenu, Thoth, who hath bestowed upon thee the knowledge of the speech of the holy books. Thy beard is beautiful in the sight of Ptah-Seker, and thou, O scribe Nebseni, thou lord of fealty, art beautiful before the Great Company of the Gods. The Great God looketh upon thee, and he leadeth thee along the path of happiness. Sepulchral meals are bestowed upon thee, and he overthroweth for thee thine enemies, setting them under thy feet in the presence of the Great Company of the Gods who dwell in the House of the Great Aged One which is in Anu.

-- The Speech of Anubis from the Papyrus of Nu and the Papyrus of Nebseni
To the east of Ankh-Tawy (Saqqara) there was a place known as Anubeion, one of Anubis' cult centers. The burials of mummified dogs and jackals took place there. Although he was worshiped all over Egypt, he had other cult centers at Abt, the 12th Nome, Zawty (Asyut) and the city of Hardai (Cynopolis) in the 17th Nome where a vast number of dog mummies were buried at dog cemeteries.

As protector of the necropolis, Anubis was known as 'He Who is Upon the Mountain'. The Egyptians believed that the god would keep watch over the tombs and graves from a high vantage point in the desert, ready to rush down to protect the deceased from desecration. Images of Anubis as a seated jackal above nine prisoners were stamped on many of the seals to tombs in the Valley of the Kings. They symbolize Anubis' protection against thieves and evil doers who entered the necropolis. He protected not only the souls of the dead, but their eternal resting place, too.

that's why anubis or jackal....is called god of death by ancient egypt....

GoD of the Death ::devilbat - Part 2

Norse Edition

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/Odin_riding_Sleipnir.jpg/200px-Odin_riding_Sleipnir.jpg

Odin (Old Norse Óðinn, also known as Oden), is considered the chief god in Norse mythology and Norse paganism. Homologous with the Anglo-Saxon Woden, it is descended from Proto-Germanic *Wōđinaz or *Wōđanaz.

His name is related to óðr, meaning "fury", "excitation", "mind" or "poetry". His role, like many of the Norse pantheon, is complex. He is a god of wisdom, war, battle and death. He is also attested as being a god of magic, poetry, prophecy, victory and the hunt.

Odin is an ambivalent deity. Old Norse (Viking Age) connotations of Odin lie with "poetry, inspiration" as well as with "fury, madness and the wanderer." Odin sacrificed his eye (which eye he sacrificed is unclear) at Mímir's spring in order to gain the Wisdom of Ages. Odin gives to worthy poets the mead of inspiration, made by the dwarfs, from the vessel Óð-rœrir.[1]

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Ring16.jpg/180px-Ring16.jpg

Odin is associated with the concept of the Wild Hunt, a noisy, bellowing movement across the sky, leading a host of slain warriors.

Consistent with this, Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda depicts Odin as welcoming the great, dead warriors who have died in battle into his hall, Valhalla, which, when literally interpreted, signifies the hall of the slain. The fallen, the einherjar, are assembled and entertained by Odin in order that they in return might fight for, and support, the gods in the final battle of the end of Earth, Ragnarök.

He is also a god of war, appearing throughout Norse myth as the bringer of victory. In the Norse sagas, Odin sometimes acts as the instigator of wars, and is said to have been able to start wars by simply throwing down his javelin Gungnir, and/or sending his valkyries, to influence the battle toward the end that he desires. The Valkyries are Odin's beautiful battle maidens that went out to the fields of war to select and collect the worthy men who died in battle to come and sit at Odin's table in Valhalla, feasting and battling until they had to fight in the final battle, Ragnarök. Odin would also appear on the battle-field, sitting upon his eight-legged horse Sleipnir, with his two ravens, one on each shoulder, Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory), and two wolves(Geri and Freki) on each side of him.

Odin is also associated with trickery, cunning, and deception. Most sagas have tales of Odin using his cunning to overcome adversaries and achieve his goals, such as swindling the blood of Kvasir from the dwarves.

Worship of Odin may date to Proto-Germanic paganism. The Roman historian Tacitus may refer to Odin when he talks of Mercury. The reason is that, like Mercury, Odin was regarded as Psychopompos,"the leader of souls."

Because Odin is closely connected with a horse and spear and transformation/shape shifting into animal shapes an alternatively theory of origin contends that Odin or at least some of his key characteristics may have arisen just prior to the sixth century as a nightmareish horse god (Echwaz), later signified by the eight legged Sleipner. The original function of this horse was to carry the dead to wherever they were going and to sometimes snack on their flesh. Some support for Odin as a late comer to the Scandinavian Norse pantheon can be found in the Sagas where, for example, at one time he is thrown out of Asgard by the other gods - a seemingly unlikely tale for a well established "all father". Scholars who have linked Odin with the "Death God" template include E. A. Ebbinghaus, Jan de Vries and Thor Templin. The later two also link Loki and Odin as being one-and-the-same until the early Norse Period.

Scandinavian Óðinn emerged from Proto-Norse *Wōdin during the Migration period, Vendel artwork (bracteates, image stones) depicting the earliest scenes that can be aligned with the High Medieval Norse mythological texts. The context of the new elites emerging in this period aligns with Snorri's tale of the indigenous Vanir who were eventually replaced by the Aesir, intruders from the Continent.

Parallels between Odin and Celtic Lugus have often been pointed out: both are intellectual gods, commanding magic and poetry. Both have ravens and a spear as their attributes, and both are one-eyed. Julius Caesar (de bello Gallico, 6.17.1) mentions Mercury as the chief god of Celtic religion. A likely context of the diffusion of elements of Celtic ritual into Germanic culture is that of the Chatti, who lived at the Celtic-Germanic boundary in Hesse during the final centuries before the Common Era. (It must be remembered that Odin in his Proto-Germanic form was not the chief god, but that he only gradually replaced Tyr during the Migration period.)

Eddic

According to the Prose Edda, Odin, the first and most powerful of the Aesir, was a son of Bestla and Borr and brother of Ve and Vili. With these brothers, he cast down the frost giant Ymir and made Earth from Ymir's body. The three brothers are often mentioned together. "Wille" is the German word for "will" (English), "Weh" is the German word (Gothic wai) for "woe" (English: great sorrow, grief, misery) but is more likely related to the archaic German "Wei" meaning 'sacred'.

Odin had several wives, with whom he fathered many children. With his first wife, Frigg, he fathered his most gentle son Balder, who stood for happiness, goodness, wisdom, and beauty. He also fathered the blind god Hodr, who was representative of darkness (in contrast to Balder's light). Frigg is best known for her love of her son Balder, as well as the story of how she travelled Earth in order to protect him from fated death. By the Earth Goddess Jord (Fjorgin) Odin was the father of his most famous son, Thor the Thunderer. By the giantess Grid, Odin was the father of Vídar, and by Rinda he was father of Váli. Also, many royal families claimed descent from Odin through other sons. For traditions about Odin's offspring, see Sons of Odin.

According to the Hávamál Edda, Odin brought the wisdom of the Runic alphabet to Midgard. It is possible that the legends and genealogies mentioning Odin originated in a real, prehistoric Germanic chieftain who was subsequently deified; but this is presently impossible to prove or disprove.

Odin and his brothers, Vili and Ve, are attributed with slaying Ymir, the Ancient Giant, to form Midgard. From Ymir's flesh, the brothers made the earth, and from his shattered bones and teeth they made the rocks and stones. From Ymir's blood, they made the rivers and lakes. Ymir's skull was made into the sky, secured at four points by four dwarfs named East, West, North, and South. From Ymir's brains, the three Gods shaped the clouds, whereas Ymir's eye-brows became a barrier between Jotunheim (giant's home) and Midgard, the place where men now dwell. Odin and his brothers are also attributed with making humans.

After having made earth from Ymir's flesh, the three brothers came across two logs (or an ash and an elm tree). Odin gave them breath and life; Vili gave them brains and feelings; and Ve gave them hearing and sight. The first man was Ask and the first woman was Embla and from them all human families are descended. Many kings and royal houses claim to trace their lineage back to Odin through Ask and Embla.

Odin ventured to Mímir's Well, near Jötunheim, the land of the giants; not as Odin, but as Vegtam the Wanderer, clothed in a dark blue cloak and carrying a traveller's staff. To drink from the Well of Wisdom, Odin had to sacrifice his eye (which eye he sacrified is unclear), symbolizing his willingness to gain the knowledge of the past, present and future. As he drank, he saw all the sorrows and troubles that would fall upon men and the gods. He also saw why the sorrow and troubles had to come to men.

Mímir accepted Odin's eye and it sits today at the bottom of the Well of Wisdom as a sign that the father of the gods had paid the price for wisdom. Sacrifice for the greater good is a recurring theme in Norse mythology, as in the case of Tyr, who sacrificed his hand to fetter Fenrisulfr.

Odin was said to have learned the mysteries of seid from the Vanic goddess and völva Freyja, despite the unwarriorly connotations of using magic. In Lokasenna, Loki derides Odin for practicing seid, implying it was women's work. Another example of this may be found in the Ynglinga saga where Snorri opines that men who used seid were ergi or unmanly.

Odin's quest for wisdom can also be seen in his work as a farmhand for a summer, for Baugi, and his seduction of Gunnlod in order to obtain the mead of poetry. (See Fjalar and Galar for more details.)

In the Rúnatal, a section of the Hávamál, Odin is attributed with discovering runes. He was hung from the tree called Yggdrasill while pierced by his own javelin for nine days and nights, in order to learn the wisdom that would give him power in the nine worlds. Nine is a significant number in Norse magical practice (there were, for example, nine realms of existence), thereby learning nine (later eighteen) magical songs and eighteen magical runes.

Some scholars hypothesize that this legend influenced the story of Christ's crucifixion. It is also similar to the story of Buddha's enlightenment. In Shamanism, the traversal of the axis mundi by the shaman to bring back knowledge is a common pattern. We know that sacrifices, human or otherwise, to the gods were commonly hung in or from trees, often transfixed by spears. (See also: Peijainen) Additionally, one of Odin's names is Ygg, and the Norse name for the World Ash —Yggdrasill—therefore could mean "Ygg's (Odin's) horse". Another of Odin's names is Hangatýr, the god of the hanged.

Odin had three residences in Asgard. First was Gladsheim, a vast hall where he presided over the twelve Diar or Judges, whom he had appointed to regulate the affairs of Asgard. Second, Valaskjálf, built of solid silver, in which there was an elevated place, Hlidskjalf, from his throne on which he could perceive all that passed throughout the whole earth. Third was Valhalla (the hall of the fallen), where Odin received the souls of the warriors killed in battle, called the Einherjar. The souls of women warriors, and those strong and beautiful women whom Odin favored, became Valkyries, who gather the souls of warriors fallen in battle (the Einherjar), as these would be needed to fight for him in the battle of Ragnarök. They took the souls of the warriors to Valhalla. Valhalla has five hundred and forty gates, and a vast hall of gold, hung around with golden shields, and spears and coats of mail.

A depiction of Odin entering Valhalla riding on Sleipnir from the Tängvide image stone.

Odin has a number of magical artifacts associated with him: the dwarven javelin Gungnir, which never misses its target; a magical gold ring (Draupnir), from which every ninth night eight new rings appear; and two ravens Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory), who fly around Earth daily and report the happenings of the world to Odin in Valhalla at night. He also owned Sleipnir, an octopedal horse, who was given to Odin by Loki, and the severed head of Mímir, which foretold the future. He also commands a pair of wolves named Geri and Freki, to whom he gives his food in Valhalla since he consumes nothing but mead or wine. From his throne, Hlidskjalf (located in Valaskjalf), Odin could see everything that occurred in the universe.

The Valknut (slain warrior's knot) is a symbol associated with Odin. It consists of three interlaced triangles

GoD of the Death ::devilbat - Part 3

Aztec Edition ::v::(GOLD EDITION)::v::

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Mictlantecuhtli.jpg/150px-Mictlantecuhtli.jpg

Mictlantecuhtli ("lord of Mictlan"), in Aztec mythology, was a god of the dead and King of Mictlan (Chicunauhmictlan), the lowest and northernmost section of the underworld. He was one of the principal gods of the Aztecs and was the most prominent of several gods and goddesses of death and the underworld (see also Chalmecatl). The worship of Mictlantecuhtli sometimes involved ritual cannibalism, with human flesh being consumed in and around the temple.[1]

He was depicted as a blood-spattered skeleton or a person wearing a toothy skull. His headdress was shown decorated with owl feathers and paper banners, and he wore a necklace of human eyeballs. He was not the only Aztec god to be depicted in this fashion, as numerous other deities had skulls for heads or else wore clothings or decorations that incorporated bones and skulls. Although such imagery might seem morbid today, in the Aztec world skeletal imagery was a symbol of fertility, health and abundance, alluding to the close symbolic links between death and life.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/Calendario_Axteca.png/200px-Calendario_Axteca.png

His wife was Mictecacihuatl, and together they were said to dwell in a windowless house in Mictlan. Mictlanteculhtli was associated with spiders, owls, bats, the eleventh hour, and the northern compass direction. He was one of only a few deities held to govern over all three types of souls identified by the Aztecs, who distinguished between the souls of people who died normal deaths (of old age, disease, etc), heroic deaths (e.g. in battle, sacrifice or during childbirth), or non-heroic deaths.



Mictlanteculhtli was the god of the day sign Itzcuintli (dog), one of the 20 such signs recognised in the Aztec calendar, and was regarded as supplying the souls of those who were born on that day. He was seen as the source of souls for those born on the sixth day of the 13-day week and was the fifth of the nine Night Gods of the Aztecs. He was also the secondary Week God for the tenth week of the twenty-week cycle of the calendar, joining the sun god Tonatiuh to symbolise the dichotomy of light and darkness. [3]

According to Aztec legend, the twin gods Quetzalcoatl and Xolotl were sent by the other gods to steal the bones of the previous generation of gods from Mictlanteculhtli. The god of the underworld sought to block Quetzalcoatl's escape with the bone and, although he failed, he forced Quetzalcoatl to drop the bones, which were scattered and broken by the fall. The shattered bones were collected by Quetzalcoatl and carried back to the land of the living, where the gods transformed them into the various races of mortals.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b3/Column_temple_Artemis_Ephesos_BM_Sc1206_n3.jpg/160px-Column_temple_Artemis_Ephesos_BM_Sc1206_n3.jpg
Thanatos as a winged youth. Sculptured marble column drum from the Temple of Artemis at Ephesos, ca. 325-300 BC.


In Greek mythology, Thanatos (in Ancient Greek, θάνατος – "Death") was the Daimon personification of Death and Mortality. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person. His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus, but his Roman equivalent was Mors or Letus/Letum, and he was sometimes identified (perhaps erroneously) with Orcus.

The Greek poet Hesiod established in his Theogony that Thanatos was a son of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) and twin of Hypnos (Sleep).

"And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. And the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea's broad back and is kindly to men; but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods." (Hesiod, Theogony 758 ff, trans. Evelyn-White, Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.)

Homer also confirmed Hypnos and Thanatos as twin brothers in his epic poem, the Iliad, where they were charged by Zeus via Apollo with the swift delivery of the slain hero Sarpedon to his homeland of Lykia.

"Then [Apollon] gave him [Sarpedon] into the charge of swift messengers to carry him, of Hypnos and Thanatos, who are twin brothers, and these two presently laid him down within the rich countryside of broad Lykia." (Homer, Iliad 16. 681 ff)

Counted among Thanatos' siblings were other negative personifications such as Geras (Old Age), Oizys (Suffering), Moros (Doom), Apate (Deception), Momos (Blame), Eris (Strife), Nemesis (Retribution) and even the Stygian Boatman Charon. He was loosely associated with the three Moirai (for Hesiod, also daughters of Night), particularly Atropos, who was a goddess of death in her own right. He is also occasionally specified as being exclusive to peaceful death, while the bloodthirsty Keres embodied violent death. His duties as a Guide of the Dead were sometimes superseded by Hermes Psychopompos. Conversely, Thanatos may have originated as a mere aspect of Hermes before later becoming distinct from him.

Thanatos was thought of as merciless and indiscriminate, hated by - and hateful towards - mortals and the deathless gods. But in myths which feature him, Thanatos could occasionally be outwitted, a feat that the sly King Sisyphus twice accomplished. When it came time for Sisyphus to die, he cheated Death by tricking him into his own shackles, thereby prohibiting the demise of any mortal while Thanatos was so enchained. Eventually Ares, the bloodthirsty god of War, grew frustrated with the battles he incited, since neither side suffered any casualties. He released Thanatos and handed his captor over to the god, though Sisyphus would evade Death a second time by convincing Persephone to allow him to return to his wife.

"King Sisyphos, son of Aiolos, wisest of men, supposed that he was master of Thanatos; but despite his cunning he crossed eddying Akheron twice at at fate's command." (Alcaeus, Fragment 38a, trans. Campbell)

Thanatos is usually an inexorable fate for mortals, but he was only once successfully overpowered, by the legendary hero Heracles. Thanatos was consigned to take the soul of Alkestis, who had offered her life in exchange for the continued life of her husband, King Admetos of Pherai. Herakles was an honored guest in the House of Admetos at the time, and he offered to repay the king's hospitality by contending with Death itself for Alkestis' life. When Thanatos ascended from Hades to claim Alkestis, Herakles sprung upon the god and overpowered him, winning the right to have Alkestis revived. Thanatos fled, cheated of his quarry.

Thanatos : Much talk. Talking will win you nothing. All the same, the woman goes with me to Hades' house. I go to take her now, and dedicate her with my sword, for all whose hair is cut in consecration by this blade's edge are devoted to the gods below. (Euripides, Alcestis 19 ff, trans. Vellacott, Greek tragedy C5th B.C.)

Hypnos and Thanatos, "Sleep and His Half-Brother Death" by John William Waterhouse

In the earliest mythological accounts, Thanatos was perceived by poets as a fearsome, sword-wielding spectre, shaggy bearded and fierce of countenance. He was a harbinger of suffering and grief, and his coming was marked by pain. But Greek artists did not often follow this grim conception of Death.

In later eras, as the transition from life to death in Elysium became a more attractive option, Thanatos came to be seen as a beautiful Ephebe. He became more associated with a gentle passing then a with a woeful demise. Many Roman sarcophagi depict him as a winged boy, very much akin to Cupid.

Thanatos has also been portrayed as a slumbering infant in the arms of his mother Nyx, or as a youth carrying a butterfly (the ancient Greek word for butterfly is psyche which in modern Greek means soul) or a wreath of poppies (poppies were associated with Hypnos and Thanatos because of their hypnogogic traits and the eventual death engendered by overexposure to them). He is often shown carrying an inverted torch (holding it upside down in his hands), representing a life extinguished. He is usually described as winged and with a sword sheathed at his belt. Thanatos was rarely portrayed in art without his twin brother Hypnos.

Modern renditions of Thanatos often assume the stereotypical cloaked and skeletal visage of the Grim Reaper, though this was hardly traditional.

"To Thanatos, Fumigation from Manna. Hear me, O Thanatos, whose empire unconfined extends to mortal tribes of every kind. On thee the portion of our time depends, whose absence lengthens life, whose presence ends. Thy sleep perpetual bursts the vivid bolds by which the soul attracting the body holds : common to all, of every sex and age, for nought escapes thy all-destructive rage. Not youth itself thy clemency can gain, vigorous and strong, by thee untimely slain. In thee the end of nature’s works is known, in thee all judgment is absolved alone. No suppliant arts thy dreadful rage control, no vows revoke the purpose of thy soul. O blessed power, regard my ardent prayer, and human life to age abundant spare." (Orphic Hymn 87 to Thanatos, trans. Taylor, Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.)

In psychology

According to Sigmund Freud, humans have a life instinct - which he named 'Eros' - and a death drive, which is commonly called (though not by Freud himself) 'Thanatos'. This postulated death drive allegedly compels humans to engage in risky and self-destructive acts that could lead to their own death. Behaviors such as thrill seeking, aggression, and risk taking are viewed as actions which stem from this Thanatos instinct. However, from a scientific viewpoint, the notion of Thanatos continues to be highly controversial.

GoD of the Death ::devilbat - Part 5

Mayan Edition ::v:: ::v:: (PLATINUM EDITION) ::v:: ::v::

http://www.godchecker.com/_godpix/mayan/AH-PUCH.gif
Also known as AHPUCH, CIZIN, GOD-A, HUNHAU, HUNAHAU, KIMIL, KISIN, YUM-CIMIL, YUM-CIMIH, YUM-KIMIL

AH-PUCH: God of Death. AH-PUCH is the Ruler of MITNAL or Level 9 of the Underworld: the deepest and nastiest department of Mayan Hell.

Identified by the Aztecs with MICTLANTECUHTLI, the grinning God of Death, AH-PUCH is also known as God A, the first of the ALPHABET-GODS. A is for Arggggghh!!

AH-PUCH likes to surface at night and skulk around in really scary mode. A putrefying corpse with an owl's head is his favorite outfit. Wishing to look the part he uses the eyes of the dead to add the finishing touches to his headgear. One of his nicknames is 'The Flatulent One', which is not something we care to investigate further.

For some reason AH-PUCH often has bells tied to his hair, but he is not being cute. What he does when he homes in on a victim is worse than you need to imagine...

There is only one way to escape his attentions. Howl! Shriek! Moan! Scream! Give it your best shot. Sound utterly convincing. AH-PUCH will then assume you are already being dealt with by some of his lesser demons. He will stop outside your door to sigh "Ah..." and pass by with a grim smile.

But AH-PUCH, the Lord of Death and Patron God of the number 10, will get you in the end. He uses MUAN, the evil bird of bad tidings, as his messenger. To this day the legend persists that when an owl screeches, someone nearby will die. If you hear a hoot, take a deep breath and count to 10.

::devilbat Necromancy ::devilbat

Necromancy (Greek νεκρομαντία, nekromantía) is a form of divination in which the practitioner seeks to summon "operative spirits" or "spirits of divination", for multiple reasons, from spiritual protection to wisdom. The word necromancy derives from the Greek νεκρός (nekrós), "dead", and μαντεία (manteía), "divination".

However, since the Renaissance, necromancy has come to be associated more broadly with black magic and demon-summoning in general, sometimes losing its earlier, more specialized meaning. By popular etymology, nekromantia became nigromancy "black arts", and Johannes Hartlieb (1456) lists demonology in general under the heading. Eliphas Levi, in his book Dogma et Ritual, states that necromancy is the evoking of aerial bodies (aeromancy).

Antiquity

The Witch of Endor is the most famous Biblical necromancer.

Early necromancy is likely related to shamanism, which calls upon spirits such as the ghosts of ancestors. Classical necromancers addressed the dead in "a mixture of high-pitch squeaking and low droning", comparable to the trance-state mutterings of shamans.

The historian Strabo refers to necromancy as the principal form of divination amongst the people of Persia (Strabo, xvi. 2, 39, νεκρομαντία), and it is believed to also have been widespread amongst the peoples of Chaldea (particularly amongst the Sabians or star-worshipers), Etruria, and Babylonia. The Babylonian necromancers were called Manzazuu or Sha'etemmu, and the spirits they raised were called Etemmu.

Necromancy was widespread in ancient Greece from prehistoric times. In the Odyssey (XI, Nekyia), Odysseus makes a voyage to Hades, the Underworld, and raises the spirits of the dead using spells which he had learnt from Circe (Ruickbie, 2004:24). His intention is to invoke and ask questions of the shade of Tiresias, but he is unable to summon it without the assistance of others.

Although some cultures may have considered the knowledge of the dead to be unlimited, to the ancient Greeks and Romans, there is an indication that individual shades knew only certain things. The apparent value of their counsel may have been a result of things they had known in life, or of knowledge they acquired after death: Ovid writes of a marketplace in the underworld, where the dead could exchange news and gossip (Metamorphoses 4.444; Tristia 4.10.87–88).

There are also many references to necromancers, called "bone-conjurers", in the Bible. The Book of Deuteronomy (XVIII 9–12) explicitly warns the Israelites against the Canaanite practice of divination from the dead. This warning was not always heeded: King Saul has the Witch of Endor invoke the shade of Samuel using a magical amulet, for example. Later Christian writers rejected the idea that humans could bring back the spirits of the dead, and interpreted such shades as disguised demons, thus conflating necromancy with demon-summoning.

Proof for the common knowledge of necromancy and belief in its power is also evident in the New Testament. Others in the court believed Jesus to be Elijah, another deceased prophet. This account is written in Christian Canonical Scriptures, mainly the book of Mark, chapter 6:14-16. “King Herod heard about this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, ‘John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.’ Others said, ‘He is Elijah.’ And still others claimed, ‘He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.’ But when Herod heard this, he said, ‘John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

Caesarius of Arles (Kors and Peters, 48) entreats his audience to put no stock in any demons, or “Gods” other than the one true Christian God, even if the working of spells appears to provide benefit. He states that demons only act with divine permission, and permitted by God to test Christian people. Caesarius does not condemn man here; he only states that the art of necromancy exists, although it is prohibited by the bible.
