Quite a number of years ago a famous stage magician by the name of Harry Keller created a strange illusion, he perfected in stage magic the Illusion of levitation.

West australia rock art

Australian Indigenous art is the oldest unbroken tradition of art in the world. The oldest firmly dated rock art painting in Australia is a charcoal drawing on a rock fragment found during the excavation of the Narwala Gabarnmang rock shelter in south-western Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Dated at 28,000 years, it is one of the oldest known pieces of rock art on Earth with a confirmed date.

These ancient rocks were found in the Kimberley region of north-western Australia is home to one of the oldest, largest and most varied collections of art in the world. A quirk of geology and climate has preserved tens of thousands of rock artworks that were produced over tens of thousands of years. (more…)

We are dooming a great part of our own race to destruction by our own ingenuity

33rd Degree Freemason, Manly P. Hall had said, “There has been a hint of pollutional warfare in which sources of, water can be so USA doomedrapidly and definitely contaminated as to completely wipe out huge areas of civilian population.

These things in themselves are very terrible to think about, very horrible to contemplate, but are still, apparently, the inevitable consequence of the materialistic trend of our way of life.

We are dooming a great part of our own race to destruction by our own ingenuity.”
