Found it. Thanks. Two of four Gaelic seasonal festivals: Imbolc and Samhain.

it was a lunisolar calendar, attempting to synchronize the solar year and the lunar month.
the months were lunar. Scholars disagree as to whether the start of the month was the new moon or the full moon, or per Pliny and Tacitus perhaps even the First Quarter.
the common lunar year contained 354 or 355 days.

Russia has a base in syria so they have an agenda

Part 1 “The Iliad”

The Trojan War began with the abduction of the tantalizing Helen by the handsome Paris. Our saga begins in the shattered, burning ruins of a once glorious Troy. A Troy devastated by Zeus’s incredible cosmic thunderbolts, flattened by Poseidon’s earthquakes and floods, and burned by Apollo’s heavenly fire and deadly plagues. A Troy that was part of a Mycenaean Age Mediterranean basin that repeatedly suffered relentless war, devastating plague, drought, famine and abandonment. In brief we are to follow in French archaeologist Claude Schaeffer’s pioneering footsteps and reinterpret the ancient Trojan War from an Electric Universe paradigm.

Schaeffer’s work confirmed that a series of ancient cataclysmic crises on a continental scale took place three to five thousand years ago. In his examination of numerous Middle Eastern sites, he found violent earthquakes had shaken the entire ancient Middle East, from Troy at the Dardanelles (Turkey), to Russia, Iran and Egypt at least six times! The stratigraphy was stark; separated by up to ten meters of ash!

Those civilizations were suddenly terminated. Traffic, commerce, and pursuit of the arts ceased, and populations of all countries were decimated. The survivors became vagrants and pirates with plagues and famine taking their devastating toll! Incredibly dramatic climate change paralleled that event. It has recently been confirmed by Yale’s Harvey Weiss in the “Tell Leilan” project. In one instance he cites three hundred years of drought followed by massive continent wide flooding. Earthquakes, tsunamis, climatic changes and other natural catastrophic agents wreaked havoc on a scale unseen in modern times. They moulded, reshaped and destroyed thriving civilizations. Schaeffer’s famous conclusion was very unfashionable at the time but he has since been totally vindicated: “Those great crises will explain better than before, the historical development of the most ancient civilizations and its mechanism, and they will definitely take out of the hands of man the command of the great historical happenings we thought he possessed.”

Yet, he puzzled over the causative agent. What evoked those earthquakes and floods? As puzzling, he observed they were ten times more powerful than any observed in recent times? We will try to solve this mystery.

From an historical perspective, Homer’s Iliad describes the highly civilized Mycenaean Greeks with their fabulous Cyclopean cities, flourishing civilization and sophisticated collection of proud ships. They were arrayed against the formidable King Priam with his powerful capitol Troy, dominating what is today’s Turkish entrance to the Bosporus Sea. That strategic headland is the same scene as the First World War’s Gallipoli debacle.

In warlike mode, those two kingdoms battled for ten years while around them a huge cosmic battle raged in the heavens. In their fear they pleaded to the battling sky gods for divine intervention, and intervene they did with devastating results. The Greek leader Agamemnon even sacrificed his daughter, Iphigenia, in the belief he could control the feisty heavenly host.

The sky gods Ares, Zeus, Apollo, Athena and Aphrodite seemed to take sides with either the Greeks or Trojans in thatIt chaotic celestial drama. In the end Troy was laid waste and abandoned not by warlords but primarily by the forces of nature. More than once Troy was devastated by fire, earthquakes, storms and floods! The Trojan War was but one episode. Quoting Homer from the Iliad: “Zeus lashes the ground.” “A meteor that is discharged from Zeus.” “Zeus bought down high towers and will destroy others.” “Zeus destroyer of cities.” “Zeus sent a flash of lightning amongst the troops.” “Apollo of the deadly plague.” “Apollo – nine days the god’s arrows rained.” “Athena sacker of towns.” “Murderous Ares, butcher of men sacker of towns.”..............................

there has never been a moment when happines within people upon gaia did never exist
but
there has been times when unhappines within people on gaia never existed
thus happiness is a constant
unhappiness is not a constant

how does a book become an analogy for a planet, it`s surface life and it`s environment
easy when you know the history of the planet
has that book been written yet
no
will it be written soon
yes

very nicly said

Anyone else having consistent trouble with GLP timing out?

I wasn't able to get on all yesterday morning/afternoon. And seems the same today...

In the meantime I have been watching quite a lot of videos. I found a YouTube station yesterday that while a bit crude, is also funny and creative.

The station is called 'CollegeHumor'.

I think there is a couple thousand of these types of vids.

Entertaining.

I did. :)

I thought it interesting he drew cubes. The margins of all my college notebooks were filled with stars and pyramids.

I find that interesting when I look back over it now.

i only drew space craft in simple lines and i remembr the satisfaction unfettered travel each time i drew one

They vary in subject.

And are well done to my senses.


Where is the line?
