The mystery of the Ica Stones of Peru

In the northern plains of Nasca, Peru, there is a village called ICA who has a stone museum. Inside the museum are displayed more than 10,000 various mysterious stone engraved image, a large number of images that is hard to believe, which recorded is an ancient human civilization so advanced that had been destroyed, the pictures of these stones are called stone inscriptions of ICA.

According to local media reports, the rocks are engraved the pictures stored in the museum began to be found in large-scale dams on the river when the ICA burst. Image that is etched in stone, among other galactic space, ancient animals, the land of prehistoric, ancient catastrophe and some scratches other categories.




According to the prediction the rare stones may have collected thousands of years of history. Relevant experts have conducted chemical tests on the rock, and the results show, that the stones came from a local river and the Andes Mountains of stone, its surface covered with a layer of oxide. Having determined the materials by German scientists concluded that the former was carved in stone has a very long history, and stones found around the cave, there are fossils of organisms millions of years ago.

By scientists, men of ancient carvings in the stone is called "geological nation", according to observations of the stone carving drawings, they have a very advanced civilization. On the rock carvings are painted on the organ transplant surgery, blood transfusion, telescopes, medical equipment, the human pursuit of dinosaurs and other sights are difficult to explain scientifically by modern science.

In drawing these stones, the people can see clearly the atmosphere of human life along with dinosaurs and judging from the picture, the comparison with the human posture depicted dinosaurs did not differ much, like a pet dinosaur, or maybe a domesticated animal people at the time. According to scientists, that dinosaurs are extinct since hundreds of millions of years ago, but the confusing thing is how people can live side by side with the giant dinosaurs?

There is a stone carved with a Triceratops. These dinosaurs look very similar to the rhino, its name taken from the three horns on its head, a man riding on the backs of Triceratops; his hands grasp weapons such as axes. And on the other stone, it appears a man was riding on the backs of dinosaurs. In addition, on top of a stone carved an image, a man who frantically chased by a Tyrannosaurus Rex appear.

In addition, according to the owner, Dr Javier Cabrera, the geological know that in a distant galaxy there is a high standard of living, they have a great space technology, no need to use an energy source known to modern humans, but can travel between planets.

In the museum, there are some pictures that depict the earth in 13 million years ago is visible from space. There are 4 pieces of carving the image in just like a map of the world, and according to some experts, the land is depicted on these maps is the ancient land, which until now remains a mystery that is the land of Atlantis, in the ancient documents found there is also a picture of the ancient land sink. Once the material is determined by the geologist proved, that the four stones is indeed a map of the world in 13 million years ago, even a very precise and accurate.

In the eye of the stone carving drawings, the geological control of high medical technologies, such as large brain transplant, and how to cope with rejection reactions in organ transplantation process, and application of these technologies are just beginning in the modern medical science. One picture is engraved in stone depicts the separation and capture objects in a circular-shaped bubbles fetus of pregnant women, and inject it into the body of patients awaiting transplantation.


In the stone carving is also depicted on the acupuncture anesthesia technology in medical operations. There is also a carved stone image of the genetics.

About Lighters

In the 1800s, steel, flint, and belt / tinder still used to make fire. The first match which made use of phosphorus in 1830. Matches stored in a special box because it can burn on any surface.


In 1844, Professor Gustaf Erik Pasch replace a toxic yellow phosphorus with red phosphorus are not toxic. He also separates the chemical ingredients for the end of a match and put phosphorus on the surface to be swiped at the box outside. Safe lighters have been created. This is a result of significant and important discovery, which made Sweden famous in the world. Unfortunately, production was difficult and expensive.

In 1864, engineer 28 years older, Alexander Lagerman design matches the first automated machine. At that time, the production uses hand or manually turned into mass production, matches, lighters safe from Jönköping (Sweden) are exported throughout the world and became famous in the world.


In 1868, the company matches found in Tidaholm Vulcan AB, Sweden. Now, Tidaholm company, owned by Swedish Macth, which is considered the most production lines have the most developed technology in the world matches. Thinking about the environment is a very important part in the production process and chemicals are replaced, the matchbox is made from recycled paper.


There are also some other opinions about Matches ...


A match consists of wooden sticks one end covered with a material that is generally phosphorus which will produce a flame by the friction of one particular surface.


Chinese nation since 577 have developed a simple lighters made of wooden sticks that consist of sulfur. Modern matches first discovered in 1805 by K. Chancel, assistant to Professor L. J. Thenard in Paris. Head of matches is a mixture of potassium chlorate, sulfur, sugar and rubber. This match turned on by entering it into the bottle asbestos containing sulfuric acid. This matches quite expensive at that time and its use dangerous, so do not get the popularity.


Matches are lighted with swiped first discovered by English chemist John Walker in 1827. This finding was preceded by Robert Boyle in 1680's with a mixture of phosphorus and sulfur, but his efforts at that time not yet reached a satisfactory outcome. Walker discovered a mixture of antimony (III) sulfide, potassium chlorate, natural gum, and starch can be switched with friction it on rough surfaces.


And now, we'll see how the matches in a match factory "FASCO" located in Russia

Hashshashin/Assasin

The Hashshashin (Arabic: حشّاشين‎ Ḥashāshīn, also Hashishin, Hashashiyyin, or Assassins) were an order of Nizari Ismailis, particularly those of Syria and Persia that existed from around 1092 to 1265. Posing a strong military threat to Sunni Saljuq authority within the Persian territories, the Nizari Ismailis captured and inhabited many mountain fortresses under the leadership of the Persian Hassan-i Sabbah.

The name 'Hashshashin' was originally derogatory and used by their adversaries during the Middle Ages; the modern word "assassin" is derived from this name. Preserved within European sources, such as the writings of Marco Polo, they were depicted as trained killers, responsible for the systematic elimination of opposing figures. The term hashish connoted meanings such as "outcast" or "rabble".[Daftary 1] Various orientalist scholars believed the Nizaris consumed hashish before carrying out political killings. The origins of the Hashshashin, or Assassins, trace back to just before the First Crusade around 1080. It is difficult to find out much information about the origins of the Hashshashin because most early sources are either written by enemies of the cult or based on legends. Most sources dealing with the order’s inner working were destroyed with the capture of Alamut, the Assassin’s headquarters. However, it’s possible to trace the beginnings of the cult back to its first Grandmaster, Hasan-i Sabbah.

These elite forces are the forces that once held a campaign Salahudin the Sultan of Egypt, so it roughly fits the story like Saladin would dissolve hashshasin fit the night before the attack, its chairman assassin Rashid ad-Din Sinan (if you play AC: I figure you would know this as Al-Mualim)'ve come to a private tent Saladin left the letter and poisonous dagger. Direct Saladin retreated from an attack Masyaf.

Why 13 Considered Unlucky Numbers?


Around the world there are a variety of beliefs, myths, and legends, which are innumerable. For the rationalists, beliefs, old people are supposed to come off in line with the modernization that crisscrosses the entire side of human life.

In the modern society, superstitious beliefs are apparently still exist and even grow and penetrate into the many facets of community life. These beliefs come even coloring architectural and town-building skyscrapers.

As a small example, in a variety of tall buildings in China, there is no such thing as level 13 and 14. According to their beliefs, those both numbers are unlikely to bring hockey. In the West, the number 13 is also considered an unlucky number. Similarly in various parts of the world. If we look at the numbers in elevators of tall buildings of the world, you will not find the floor 13. Usually, after the number 12 then immediately 'jump' to the number 14 or of the number 12 then 12a. This phenomenon is found in many countries of the world, including Indonesia.

Why the number 13 is considered a lack of numbers that bring luck? Actually, superstition and various myths that have come from an ancient science called Cabbala. Cabbala is an ancient mystical teachings, which have the highest topic by the Council of Magicians Pharaoh's regime, which passed by the witches, magicians, soothsayers, psychics, and so on, especially by Jewish-Zionist who later appointed him as a political movement, and now , the teachings of Cabbala has become a new trend among celebrities of the world.

The Jewish people since the first is that strictly maintain the Cabbala. In Marseilles, southern France, the Jewish teachings of Cabbala was previously recorded only revealed through oral and clandestinely. They are also known as people who enjoy tinkering with the numbers (numerology), so they are also known as the Geometrician.

According to them, the number 13 is one of the sacred numbers that contain a variety of magic and religious side, together with the numbers 11 and 666. Therefore, in a variety of related symbols Cabbalisms, they always sneak into it the element number 13. Tarot cards for example, were in number 13.

Symbol insertion point 13 of the largest in human history made it into a symbol of the United States. The Seal of the United States of America consists of two sides (Eagles and Pyramid Illuminati) loaded with the number 13. Here's the proof:
-13 Stars above the Eagle's head to form the Star of David.
-13 Line in the shield or shields birds.
-13 Olive leaf in the bird's right leg.
-13 Olive sticking point between the olive leaves.
-13 Arrows.
-13 Feather on the end of the arrow.
-13 Letters that make up the phrase 'Annuit Coeptis'
-13 Letters that make up the phrase 'E pluribus unum'
-13 Layers of rock that make up the pyramid.
-13 X 9 points around the Star of David on the head of the Eagle.

Apart from number 13 to insert the symbol of the state, large corporate logos such as the United States as well as McDonalds logo, Arbyss, Startrek. Com, Westel, and so on. Number 13 can be seen if the logos are rotated vertically. Similarly, the headquarters of the Microsoft known as The Double Thirteen or Double-13, according to the Microsoft logo is made to resemble a window (Windows), when in fact it is the number 1313.

Interestingly, although the number 13 were scattered in various arts, the American people apparently also considers the number 13 as the number that should be avoided. High buildings in the United States rarely use the number 13 as the floor rate. Even in racing stables as well as the existence, of the enclosure numbered 12, and 12a, skip to number 14. There is no number 13.

The Cabbalist is glorifying the number 13, but of course other numbers such as numbers 11 and 666. This figure is used in a variety of their satanic rituals. Even the symbol of Baphomet or Goat Head Mendez (Mendez Goat) was decorated with the symbol 13. That is why the number 13 is regarded as an unlucky number for the main part of satanic rituals

He then found a recipe for photographic emulsion dry plates are immediately patented by him in 1880, with a savings fund and the purchase of a patent by a photography company in the UK. Eastman began producing and selling dry photographic plate in a rented loft space.

Eastman ambition to popularize photography began to bear fruit when he discovered and perfected the film and trying to make a simple camera. In June 1888, comes the new word "Kodak" for a lightweight camera. The name comes out of nowhere. Many people ask, where did that word come from? "I made up my own name. I am very happy with the letter 'K', sounding steady and firm. Then I tried various combinations of letters that generate words beginning with the letter and the end of a 'K', "said Eastman.
