Statue of Ancient Egyptian King Found
Statue of Ancient Egyptian King Found
Finely carved in alabaster, a stone hewn in the quarries of Hatnub in Middle Egypt, the sculpture shows King Amenhotep III seated, wearing the Nemes headdress (a striped headcloth that pharaohs put on), a pleated kilt and a royal beard.
Measuring 1.20 meters (3.9 feet) in height, the well-preserved face of the pharaoh has been described by antiquities minister Zahi Hawass as "a masterpiece of royal portraiture."
It features almond-shaped eyes outlined with cosmetic bands, a short nose and a large mouth with wide lips.
"In spite of its large scale, the face is extremely well carved and well proportioned," Hawass said.

NAZI SPACE PROGRAM IN 1947
Sci-fi enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists tend to obsess about the possibilities of a space-faring Third Reich. Robert A. Heinlein authored a tale about a German lunar base as early as 1947. Nowadays, fans are abuzz for the 2012 release of "Iron Sky," the Finnish film full of scene-chewing space Nazis and swastika-stamped spaceships.
Is there any factual basis for these outrageous fantasies? Did Nazi Germany actually have a space program?
Absolutely not, according to Smithsonian Space History Curator Michael Neufeld.
There is Only War
The Nazis held power from 1933 until the German's surrender in 1945. It was a time of vast military expansion and ultimately total war. Very little scientific activity took place that did not directly benefit the war effort, and this was especially true of rocketry.
Even if German scientists such as Wernher von Braun dreamed of purely scientific space exploration, the only outlet for their skills was in the development of rocket-propelled weapons.
"They recognized the follow-on to the weapons program would be space exploration," says von Braun biographer Bob Ward. "Eventually, there would be a space program, and this was the route that had to be traveled, through the military, to advance the technology. But I don’t think the German power structure had any plans for a space program."
In fact, German space zeal took root not during Nazi rule, but prior to it in the 1920s and early '30s. That was when German theorists, such as Hermann Oberth, wrote about the feasibility of space travel, says Neufeld.
"Then the Nazis came into power and started throwing money at military rocketry," Neufeld says.

IRAN IS SENDING A MONKEY INTO SPACE
IRAN IS SENDING A MONKEY INTO SPACE
Iran plans to send a live monkey into space in the summer, the country's top space official said after the launch of the Rassad-1 satellite, state television reported on its website on Thursday.
"The Kavoshgar-5 rocket will be launched during the month of Mordad (July 23 to August 23) with a 285-kilogramme capsule carrying a monkey to an altitude of 120 kilometres (74 miles)," said Hamid Fazeli, head of Iran's Space Organisation.
In February, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled a space capsule designed to carry a live monkey into space, along with four new prototypes of home-built satellites the country hopes to launch before March 2012.
Ancient toolmakers plied craft near Niagara Falls
Ancient toolmakers plied craft near Niagara Falls
An ancient campsite where people were manufacturing tools has been discovered near the Niagara Falls.This find, combined with other archaeological discoveries in the area over the past few decades, suggests that such campsites lined the Niagara River as far back as 4,000 years ago.
So far, the team has unearthed more than 20,000 artifacts, mostly bits of rock broken off when people were creating stone tools, on the southeastern tip of Grand Island New York, about 12 miles upstream from Niagara Falls. The earliest artifacts at the site open a window on a time when people were living a nomadic lifestyle based on hunting, fishing and gathering plants.

Television Viewing and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and All-Cause Mortality
Bad news for couch potatoes: A huge new study from Harvard's School of Public Health, published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association, shows that every two hours of television time increases the risk of diabetes by 20%, heart disease by 15%, and death from pretty much anything by 13%. Good thing Breaking Bad isn't on that much.

MIND CONTROL!!!
Mind Control Theories and Techniques used by Mass Media
Mass media is the most powerful tool used by the ruling class to manipulate the masses. It shapes and molds opinions and attitudes and defines what is normal and acceptable. This article looks at the workings of mass media through the theories of its major thinkers, its power structure and the techniques it uses, in order to understand its true role in society.
Most of the articles on this site discuss occult symbolism found in objects of popular culture. From these articles arise many legitimate questions relating to the purpose of those symbols and the motivations of those who place them there, but it is impossible for me to provide satisfactory answers to these questions without mentioning many other concepts and facts. I’ve therefore decided to write this article to supply the theoretical and methodological background of the analyzes presented on this site as well as introducing the main scholars of the field of mass communications. Some people read my articles and think I’m saying “Lady Gaga wants to control our minds”. That is not the case. She is simply a small part of the huge system that is the mass media.
