This glowing UFO was filmed from ISS Longterm stress could certainly explain what had happened to the first crew members, however; it was only a short while after the arrival of the second crew that the angels revealed themselves again. How could the second crew be suffering from the stress of long term space travel as they had just arrived. No viable explanation has been offered as to why the second sighting occurred.
All six astronauts reported seeing "a smiling angel." The incident could be attributed to the the fatigue over a long space voyage, if it were only about the first crew. However, this explanation does not fit for the second crew -- a meeting with the angels took place shortly after their arrival at the station. So the second crew just confirmed the observation of the Angels. The six cosmonauts who looked out the portholes all reported seeing seven angels all resembling humans but with wings. Each angel was reported to have been as big as a jet airliner and each of them had a smile of their face as if trying to share some kind of knowledgeable secret with the cosmonauts. Again keeping up with the movements and speed of the space station for a short while they later just simply disappeared. The cosmonauts reassured themselves that they had gone temporarily insane and had experienced a group hallucination that was the only sensible explanation of what happened. Incredibly they reported seeing the faces of seven angels who were hovering just outside the space station. They told ground control their faces and bodies looked human but these beings had wings and misty-like halos. The angels kept up with the movement and speed of the space station for 10 minutes before disappearing as quickly as they had come. For a short time, the light was so brilliant it blinded the astronauts. Not knowing what happened, when their vision returned, each of them looked out the spacecraft windows for the cause of the blinding light.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is undoubtedly one of the most well-known icons of ancient Egypt. Nevertheless,similar pyramids are found scattered all throughout Egypt and beyond. Egyptian-style pyramids have been found south of the border in modern day Sudan.
These pyramids were built by the rulers of the Kingdom of Kush. In 30 BC, Egypt became a province in the Roman Empire, and the Romans even launched a military expedition into Kushite territory in 23 BC.
It is possible that the encounter with the Egyptian pyramids, or the Kushite ones, or both types, influenced the construction of the Pyramid of Cestius in one of the most unlikely of places, Rome.
It should first be pointed out that the Pyramid of Cestius was not the only Egyptian-style pyramid in Rome. There was also another pyramid, known as the ‘Pyramid of Romulus’.
Incidentally, during the Middle Ages, the Pyramid of Cestius was known as the ‘Pyramid of Remus’, and it was believed that these two pyramids were the tombs of the legendary founders of Rome.
The larger ‘Pyramid of Romulus’, located between the Vatican and Hadrian’s Mausoleum (known also as the Castel Sant’Angelo), was dismantled sometime during the 16th century so that its marble could be used in the construction of St. Peter’s Basilica.
The Pyramid of Romulus is depicted in the background.
The Pyramid of Cestius was built along the Via Ostiensis sometime between 18 and 12 BC. The pyramid has a nucleus of concrete with a curtain of brick, and its exterior is covered with Luni marble. The base of the structure is a square measuring 29.5 m on each side, whist its height is measured at 36.4 m.
Within the pyramid is a barrel-vaulted burial chamber measuring about 23 square metres, and was walled up in accordance with Egyptian custom at the time of entombment. During the 3rd century AD, the pyramid was incorporated into the circuit of walls known as the Aurelian Walls.
One of the southern gates, the Porta San Paolo is just a stone’s throw away from this monument.

The identity of the pyramid was later forgotten, and was only rediscovered sometime in the 1600s. During this time, the pyramid was being restored, and the inscriptions on its faces were uncovered.
According to the inscriptions on the east and the west flanks of the pyramid, the structure was built as a tomb for a man called Gaius Cestius Epulo, the son of Lucius, of the tribe of Pobilia.
The inscription also mentions that Cestius was a praetor, a tribune of the plebs, and a septemvir of the Epulones (a college of priests responsible for preparing the feasts in honor of the gods). A second inscription announces that the building of this monument was completed in 330 days.
It has been highlighted that the Pyramid of Cestius is steeper and more pointed than the pyramids in Egypt. This has been used to explain the presence of steep and pointy pyramids in the art of Medieval and Renaissance Europe depicting scenes from ancient Egypt.
It has been suggested that the only pyramid that European artists were able to see at that time was the Pyramid of Cestius, and that they used it as their model.
Whilst it may be possible that Cestius and his architects got the angle of their pyramid wrong, it is also plausible that this pyramid was based on the Kushite models, which were steeper and more pointed than the Egyptian ones.
Kushite pyramids are generally steeper and more pointed
During the Grand Tour, the Pyramid of Cestius was a must-see site, and it inspired writers such as Percy Bysshe Shelley (whose ashes, incidentally, were interred in the nearby Protestant Cemetery) and Thomas Hardy. Over the centuries, the Pyramid of Cestius has been battered by the elements.
The first major restoration was undertaken in the 1600s, and the restoration of the burial chamber was carried out in 2001. In 2011, further restoration work was announced, and its funding included a million euros donated by a Japanese businessman.
With such work underway, it is likely that the Pyramid of Cestius will continue to stand for a long time to come.
Note: This story originated from
claims by Dr Ray Brown that aired on The history channel. There are simply not
enough facts to say whether or not these new findings are true but nonetheless
it is interesting and has some interesting elements to it. It is important to
note that because something is not in mainstream media it does not mean it is
fake, however this on simply doesn’t have much else to go along with it so we
cannot say YES or NO about this one. Read at your own discretion. I highly
recommend you watch the story of Dr Ray Brown in the video below. His eye
movements according to NLP suggest that he is not lying about the story but is
in fact recalling it kinesthetically.
Whether we are into researching fringe subjects or don’t
spend time on it at all, we probably have all heard of the Bermuda
Triangle at some point. The Bermuda
Triangle is a mysterious, unworldly, and
sometimes deadly place on earth that has had scientists scratching their heads
for decades. Researchers have spent much time and energy looking into the
mysteries of the Bermuda triangle and many have told some amazing stories. The
triangle doesn’t come without speculation though. The bizarre time anomalies, disappearances
and weird phenomena are able to be explained by natural occurrences in certain
cases. But many cases still leave questions unanswered. What you could call
more “outside the box” ideas insist that relics of an advanced, unknown culture
left behind technology and great energy machines that literally warp
space-time. There appears to be a speculative discovery that
has been made by French explorers that is being considered a monumental
discovery. It is believed they discovered a partially translucent,
crystal-like pyramid rising
from the Caribbean seabed— its
origin, age and purpose are completely unknown at this point. The picture below
is fascinating. These potential amazing underwater pyramid
structures were first identified using sonar technology according to
oceanographer Dr. Verlag Meyer. In terms of the size of this re-discovered
pyramid, it is larger in scale than the pyramids of ancient Egypt.
Interestingly, on the top of the pyramid are two very large holes. Water moves
at high speeds through one of the holes causing waves to roll by forming a
giant vortex. This causes a massive surge of waves and mist on the surface of
the sea. Scientists are now pondering a new idea, is this vortex effect
explaining what has been happening with disappearing passing boats and planes
in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle? Potential New Discovery Challenges Current Archaeological Theory If the pyramid does in fact exist it is
technically not a new discovery as it was initially identified by a Dr. Ray
Brown in the 1960s and since has been
independently verified by diving teams from France and the U.S. Nonetheless, this re-discovery has
rocked scientists around the world. More on Dr. Ray Brown’s experience, he came upon
the structure while scuba diving in the Bahamas. He investigated the structure
and was amazed that the sides of the pyramid were completely smooth and the
joints between the individual blocks to be nearly imperceptible. Upon entering
the pyramid, Ray was further astounded by the clean, smooth sides of the
interior: no algae or coral grew on the walls. Inside the pyramid Ray was
fascinated by the various structures and items he saw inside. At one point he
attempted to remove a multi-faceted red gemstone attached to a metallic rod
that descended from the center of the ceiling but was unable to dislodge it. As
he continue on, about four feet below the point of the gemstone, he saw a
bronze sculpture of two open hands. Resting in the open hands is a now famous
crystal sphere that he was able to take from its resting place. Four inches in
diameter, Ray was surprised that he could lift the crystal sphere easily.
Secreted away beneath the floor of an English
cathedral was a large calfskin canvas featuring what, at first glance, appeared
to be a map of the world. Once recovered and repaired, the map was found to
date to 1285. While a myriad of cities and towns are depicted on the medieval Mappa
Mundi, more than 500 ink drawings illustrate biblical events, exotic plants and
animals, wild and strange creatures, and classical myths. More than just a map,
the “Cloth of the World” remains one of the greatest surviving artworks of the
Middle Ages.
Known as the Hereford Mappa
Mundi, medieval artwork showcasing history, religion, and mythology is depicted
in intricate detail on a single sheet of vellum, or preserved calfskin. The
skin stretches five feet high by four feet across, and is attached to an oak
frame. The remarkable artifact remains the largest medieval map still known to
exist.
The tangled ink illustrations of black, gold,
green and blue, reflect a medieval European understanding of the known world at
the time—and also the unknown world of the supernatural— highlighting not just
the human world of men, cities and seas, but entire bestiaries of horrifying
mythical creatures and the strange cultures of distant lands. It was not for
use as a navigational tool, but instead was an artistic compendium of people,
parables, and places.

Towns and Cities
Most obvious is the cartography of the Mappa
Mundi. East is found at the top of the map, as this orientation represented the
rising of the sun and the second coming of the Christ. The world is laid out in
a circle, and because of its Christian framework, Jerusalem sits at its center,
a common theme in medieval mapmaking. At the very middle of the map a small
hole has been pierced where a compass-like instrument was used to create a
perfect circle which became an image of a fortified wall with eight towers.
Continents included are Asia, Africa, Europe and
the Mediterranean.
Approximately 420 towns and cities of the day
are represented on the map, such as Rome and Paris (and Hereford), as well as
oceans and important landmarks.

Myths and Legends
Eight classical legends are included on the
elaborate map.
The Golden Fleece as quested for by Jason and
the Argonauts is found drawn on the coast of the Black Sea.
The Cretan Labyrinth which bound the mythical
Minotaur is depicted on the vellum. It was a recognizable symbol in the Middle
Ages, as labyrinths were laid out on floor paving of cathedrals. These winding
pathways acted as spiritual pilgrimages for the faithful.
In classical myth, the Columns of Hercules
represented the western edge of the known inhabited world. This is marked on
the Mappa Mundi at the Strait of Gibraltar.
Even the camp of Alexander the Great is
illustrated on the map. Legends of the deeds and successes of the heroic leader
were popular with scholars at the time. Alexander’s camp is shown as many tall
tents, and a strong wall runs along his camp, which Alexander was thought to
have built to repel and imprison the “destructive evil of the Sons of Cain.”
The area below this is attributed to the “Scythian races”, and as knowledge of
this region was limited, the area is decorated with dramatic and wild images.
Bible Stories
Jesus is found at the very top of the map,
highlighting his significance and importance in the Christian faith. Along his
right, people travel from death into heaven, and on his left, the damned are
chained and dragged off to Hell, represented by a beast’s gaping maw, including
sharp teeth and glaring eyes.
15 bible stories are illustrated on the Mappa
Mundi. The Garden of Eden, including Adam, a serpent, and Eve, is found near
the top. Eden is surrounded by a ring of fire, signifying that it is off limits
to humanity.
A boat filled with creatures and a bearded man
represents the tale of Noah’s Ark.
The largest building on the map is the
five-story city of Babylon. The topmost structure is labelled the “Tower of
Babel.” The sheer size of the elaborate drawing, as well as the details of the
text on the map, emphasize the arrogance and pride of the people who were said
to build a tower so high that it might challenge god. In the biblical legend,
God’s punishment ultimately caused humanity to speak in different languages.

Many natural and unnatural creatures abound on
the Hereford Mappa Mundi.
Animals less well-known to medieval Europeans, such as camels or elephants,
were drawn with some success on the map. A camel with two humps is located
south of the Memarnau Mountains. Bestiaries (books of beasts) of the time
described camels as living for one hundred years, and being only able to drink
muddy water.
Elephants are drawn wearing constructed wooden
towers, as the large animals were fitted with these fighting platforms for use
in warfare by Indian and Persian soldiers. It was believed even then that
elephants fear mice.

The legendary unicorn is depicted on the map,
with a single, long horn. Named Monoceros, the unicorn was often linked to
Jesus. It was reputed to be strong enough to battle elephants, but could be
tamed by innocent and virtuous young women.
33 different animals, exotic plants and birds
are described in ink on the Mappa Mundi.

Monstrous Strangers
Various strange and wonderful people are represented
on the map, both real and unreal. Likely due to exaggerated traveler tales of
dangerous foreign cultures, 32 images include outrageous people, such as the
Blemmye; a war-like race of people with no heads, and with facial features in
their chests.

Sciapods, or Monoculi, are found on the map.
Tales of these scary beings with a giant, single foot included theories on how
they were able to move quickly on their one leg. They were believed to use
their large foot to shield themselves from the sun.

Chronicle, 1493. Public Domain
Mysterious and dangerous cave dwellers, or
Troglodytes, are drawn in Africa on the map. Three of these men are depicted in
caves, and one rides a strange goat beast. They appear to eat snakes and run
around naked. The map text describes Troglodytes as very swift men who catch
wild animals by jumping onto their backs.
Troglodytae were an ancient group of people from
the African Red Sea coast as described by Greek and Roman historians, including
Herodotus, Strabo and Pliny. These anecdotes eventually turned into mythical
feats and wild characteristics.
Have Pity on Richard
Created in the late 13th century by a team of
scholars, but attributed to a man named “Richard of Haldingham and Lafford,”
the large map hung for years on the wall of a cathedral in Hereford, England.
Unusual for a medieval map, reference to the mapmaker, Richard, was noted in
the bottom left corner. Translated, the passage reads:
Let all who have this history,Or shall hear or read or see it,Pray to Jesus
in His Divinity,To have pity on Richard of Haldingham and Lafford,Who has made
and planned it,To whom joy in heaven be granted.
The map was hidden away during times of political uncertainty and war,
languishing under floorboards and forgotten in secret locations, until 1855
when it was cleaned and repaired at the British Museum. It now sits in a glass
case on display at a new library in Hereford.
The Hereford Mappa Mundi has
survived 700 years, preserving and illustrating the beliefs, knowledge and
traditions of medieval Europe. It remains one of the most significant
historical maps in the world.
The Mappa Mundi Hereford Cathedral website
has an interactive map available here, illuminating some of the countless
images found in the medieval artwork.
Top 10 Secret Weapons developed SUPER style by the Nazi Party...Hitler's technology was ahead of the time. See how big that tank is in the picture? Yeah, the Nazis made that.
The Sonic Cannon: If you were hoping for a weapon which fired sassy, tiny blue hedgehogs then prepare to be equally disappointed and frightened. In the early 1940’s Nazi engineers developed a sonic cannon that could rip you apart without you ever knowing what the hell was going on. Tubes containing methane and oxygen were ignited to pulse-detonate two parabolic dishes at around 44Hz. Following me so far? Let’s simplify it. This machine could create sound waves so aggressive they would render your kidneys, liver and spleen into a human marinara. The rapid compression and release of organ tissue and fluids barely affected the heart, stomach and intestines, but that’s no great comfort when the rest of your inside parts are rapidly dribbling out of your anus. Unfortunately for the Nazis this weapon was far too fragile to survive even a round from a potato gun. If only they’d waited 50 years, they could’ve achieved the same effect much easier with a boombox and a playlist of Kesha tracks. Fiesler Fi 103r Reichenberg: Throughout the war V1 rockets rained down on Europe, but only 25% hit their target. How did the ever efficient Germans increase their accuracy? V3 cannon: Based in Pas-de-Calais in Northern France, this giant supergun was to be used to bombard London using multi charge shells which used secondary propellants to extend their range. Imagine video-games where you get a huge mid-air boost to your jump, take that principle, but with firey boom-boom death at the end of it. The X-Ray Gun: The Germans researched several types of energy directed weapon with the help of the technology company Siemens, who now direct radiation into your brain far more efficiently using mobile phones. So if the Germans had radioactive laser rifles back then, why aren’t they prevalent today? Aggregat Rockets: The aggregate rocket family is even more destructive than that family of hicks who live two doors down and never mow their lawn. It’s most famous member was the V2 missile, responsible for 9000 deaths in three cities, and that was just the start. One of the next-generation in production was the A12, a massive upgrade capable of putting ten tonnes of payload in low earth orbit despite weighing in at 3500 tonnes fully fuelled. What was its range? Modern analysis suggests that if completed, it could have easily pounded the US mainland from a base in Europe. Making it potentially the worst European import since Piers Morgan. The Sun Gun: If you’ve played Call of Duty or watched a few Bond films then this will look familiar. In a scheme worthy of Mr Burns the Nazis planned to create a space station mounted with a 100 metre wide mirror. But this wasn’t just a vanity project so Hitler could check out his sweet tache and parting on the go. The plan was to reflect the sun’s light into a concentrated beam of scorching heat capable of tearing through cities and armies . The Vortex Cannon: I’m bored of firing regular old shells and bullets, said one Nazi scientist. Let’s just go mental and make a gun that fires hurricanes. Agreed mein freund. This ridiculous anti-aircraft cannon generated explosions in a combustion chamber, which were then guided down special nozzles towards their target. planes…thankfully. Heinkel He 162: Designed and built in three months in 1944, this was actually a crowd-sourced design by the German public on an initiative set up by the Nazis to find a simple defensive aircraft that could be mass-produced. Really mass-produced…. With wooden wings and a cheap metal fuselage, around 100 were built and very few were flown successfully. So why was this crappy airplane so interesting? The Rat Tank: Known to Germans as the Landkreuzer (land cruiser), this 1000 tonnes beast was as huge as it was impractical…essentially it was the Kim Kardashian of World War 2. Sure, its sheer size and use of submarine technology meant it would’ve crossed rivers with ease, but it couldn’t even traverse a basic road or bridge without obliterating it. A vehicle this size travelling at only 40 mph would’ve been a sitting duck for enemy bombers…so what did Hitler do? He proposed an even heavier tank, the Monster, weighing in at 1500 tonnes. I’m beginning to think he wasn’t all that smart. The Bell: Near the Wenceslaus mine in Germany by the Czech border was a secret Nazi facility known as The Giant. Like David Hasselhoff’s mind we don’t know what went on in there, but Polish intelligence claimed to have found something horrifying. At first glance a metallic bell-shaped object no bigger than 3 by 5 metres wouldn’t seem too intimidating. Then they found the blueprints. Inside were two counter-rotating cylinders filled with a substance similar to mercury, code named Xerum 525, in addition to various peroxides.
We all know the number of pyramids that have been found worldwide. The pyramid building phenomena apparently conquered out ancestor in the distant past who created all kinds of pyramids in all corners of the world.
Perhaps the most famous of the pyramids around the world are those at the Giza plateau in Egypt. In the shadows of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and half way around the world we find the Great Pyramid of Koba.
This majestic construction is located in the jungle of Coba, Mexico and dates back to 500-900 AD. Since its construction, the pyramid has undergone numerous modifications, that have given the entire archaeological site a degree of mysticism.
It is located about 90 kilometers east of Chichen Itza. The city was constructed around two lagoons.
Within the representative elements of the Mayan culture present in Coba, we can highlight some beautiful artifacts made of pottery that date back to the year 100 AD when this “ancient” city became the center of power in the north Yucatan.
If you still are unsure about the importance of this archaeological site here is something worth mentioning. First of all, the extension of ancient Coba was gigantic. The city consisted of about 80 square kilometers and had the capacity to accommodate at least 50 000 inhabitants.
Curiously, just like other Mayan cities, Coba was lost in time and history just like its adjacent city of Chichen Itza.
Right in the middle of this ancient city you find one of the tallest pyramids built by the first inhabitants of the region, the majestic pyramid temple called Ixmoja.
This incredible construction rises 42 into the air, and has 120 steps that lead to the top of the pyramid. With these dimensions, this pyramid is recognized as the highest structure found in the Yucatan Peninsula.
The structures at Coba are relatively well preserved thanks to the fact that this area is more isolated from society, so the structures of this majestic ancient city have less impact by modern day life whites helped in preserving its original, pre-hespanic look.
In its beginning, Coba was considered one of the most important ancient sites in the Yucatan Peninsula, proof of that is its Pyramid, holding the title as the tallest pyramid in the region. Coba declined in the year 1000 AD but re-emerged in the period between 1200 and 1500.
The ancient city of Coba was completely uninhabited after the Spanish conquest, and it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that two explorers, named John Lloyd Sstephens and Frederick Catherwood mentioned it in historical books.
