Clues in a dusty disk point the way to a potential exoplanet

Large exoplanets are more easily detected than small ones. It’s axiomatic. While large planets block out more starlight during transits, small planets block out much less, letting them hide in the overpowering glare from their stars. To help detect sub-Jupiter mass exoplanets, astronomers search for the effect these planets can have on their surroundings.

Translated: This is what the 5,000-year-old ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs in Australia say

Referred to as the GOSFORD GLYPHS, the intricate set of symbols is believed to have been carved some 5,000 years ago by ancient Egyptians who visited Australia.

Considered a hoax by many, and ultimate evidence of ancient Egyptian trans-oceanic voyages by others, the curious set of symbols has produced mixed views from researchers around the globe.

One of the most controversial subjects in modern history is questioning whether advanced ancient civilizations, like the ancient Egyptian civilizations, managed to travel across the globe.

According to numerous ‘pieces of evidence,’ the ancient Egyptian civilization was extremely well-developed, which allowed them to construct powerful trans-oceanic ships, which according to numerous authors, may have taken them not only to the American continent but Australia as well.

Remember that there was an article written by the Arizona Gazette that sensationally claimed how the Smithsonian Institute covered up the discovery of an ancient Egyptian colony in the Grand Canyon? Well, that’s not the only surprised discovery it seems.

There is also evidence that ancient Egyptian mummies contain traces of tobacco and cocaine in their DNA.

This is controversial because if we look at history, these plants were exclusive to the American continent, and not to other parts of the world.

Anyway, what is considered perhaps as the most controversial piece of evidence that supports the idea the ancient Egyptians made their way to different continents around the globe, are the so-called Gosford Glyphs, located in Australia.

First sighted in Australia in the 1900’s, it is said that the enigmatic set of symbols carved on a massive rock has been present in local folklore more than a century.

And while many scholars are convinced these supposed hieroglyphs are nothing more than a modern-day forgery, an archaeological joke, there are those who not only believe the hieroglyphs are real, but there are those who even managed to translate the message, that is said to have been left behind by ancient Egyptian explorers more than 5,000 years ago.

But modern Egyptologists note how there are many discrepancies when we look at the Gosford Glyphs.

In fact, Australian Egyptologist, Professor Naguib Kanawati firmly believes the “intricate” set of hieroglyphs they are not authentic, saying how ancient hieroglyphs within the same panels were of widely different periods in history and some of them were even carved backward.

Furthermore, The National Parks and Wildlife Service maintains the engravings are not authentic and a professor from Macquarie University’s Ancient History Department, Boyo Ockinga shares the same views.

“It’d be wonderful…but I’m afraid it’s just not possible.” First of all the way they’re cut is not the way ancient Egyptian rock inscriptions are produced, they’re very disorganized,” he said.

“There’s also a problem with the actual shapes of the signs that are used. There’s no way people would’ve been inscribing texts from the time of Cheops from the signs that weren’t invented until 2500 years later. That’s a chronological discrepancy,” he said.

However, there are those who disagree with the above scholars and say the hieroglyphs are not only authentic but tell a story unlike any other.

Interestingly, claims that said hieroglyphs are a modern forgery are contested by numerous Egyptologists like Mohamed Ibrahim and Khemit School Co-Director Yousef Abd’el Hakim Awyan (who has studied ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs his entire life) (source).

Mohamed Ibrahim and Yousef Abd’el Hakim Awyan note how the scribes who created the “ancient symbols in Australia” accurately used several ancient hieroglyphs and ‘grammatical’ variations which, surprisingly were not even documented in Egyptian hieroglyphic texts until 2012.

GosfordGlyphs

The translated Gosford Glyphs state the following:

THE EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS ON THE EAST WALL:

[1] FOR HIS HIGHNESS, THE PRINCE,

from this wretched place in this land,

where we were carried by ship.

Engraved for the Crown of Lower Egypt,

according to God’s word.

[2] My fellow Egyptians

call out from this place in this strange land

for the god SUTI.

I, NEFER-DJESEB,

Son of KHUFU, king of Upper and Lower Egypt

(beloved by Ptah),

has brought the god SUTI.

[3] The Prince was kind and benevolent,

follower of the SunGod Ra.

[4] For two seasons (eight months) he directed us eastward,

weary, but strong to the end.

Always praying, joyful, and smiting insects.

He, the servant of God,

said God created the insects

to protect his people.

[5] I myself am hardened, have gone around hills and deserts,

in wind and rain, with no lakes at hand,

blessed by the falling nights, when I hide myself,

completely out of reach.

[6] In our last camp I cooked fowl on hand, and brought rain,

but hurt my back carrying the Golden Falcon Standard,

crossing hills, desert and pools of water along the way.

[7] Plants are withering, Land is dying.

Is this our lot from the highest God of the Sacred Mer?

[8] The Sun is pouring down upon our back!

Oh mighty Khepera, this is not what the Oracle has said.

Our Harts are overturned, but not broken.

[9] This Regal person NEFER-TI-RU

came from the temple of God in Penu, Egypt.

He came from the House of God.

He was the Son of KHUFU, king of Upper and Lower Egypt.

[10] He, who died before, is here laid to rest.

May he have life everlasting.

[11] He is never again to stand beside the waters of the Sacred Mer.

Then clasp him, my Brothers Spirit to thy side, O Father of the Earth.

THE EGYPTIAN HIEROGLYPHS ON THE WEST WALL:

[12] The snake bit twice.

We, followers of the divine king KHUFU,

mighty one of Lower Egypt, Lord of the Two Adzes,

we shall not all return.

However, we have to continue; we

cannot look back.

[13] All creek and river beds are dry,

and we are dismayed.

Our boats are tied up with rope.

Death was caused by snake.

[14] We gave egg-yolk from the medicine-chest,

and prayed to Amun, the Hidden One,

for he was struck twice.

[15] It was a hard time for all of us,

weeping over the dead body,

and keeping to the protocol.

[16] Seated all aside,

our men watched the funeral,

with concern and deep love.

How the mummified body was buried

in the Red Earth Section.

[17] Then we recovered ourselves.

[18] We walled in the side entrance to the chamber,

with stones from all around.

The chamber was aligned with the Western Heavens.

[19] I counted and impounded the daggers of our men.

[20] The three doors of eternity were connected

to the rear end of the Royal Tomb,

and sealed in.

What do you think? Does the translation make any sense? And is it really possible that somehow, the ancient Egyptians traveled not only to the American continent but to Australia as well?

CIA document states “Russian soldiers were turned to stone” after Alien attack

According to a declassified CIA report, a troop of Russian soldiers—who managed to shoot down a UFO—were turned into STONE by surviving aliens. The declassified report is available at the official website of the CIA.

Yup, and it’s not an excerpt from an upcoming James Cameron science fiction movie. Although James might consider it.

Ok so I know there are those who will certainly yell out fake, and for them, the link to the official document is here.

CIA document
Weird huh? Image credit

According to a set of documents provided by the CIA, Russian soldiers gunned down an Unidentified Flying Object. After the craft crash landed, its occupants—of otherworldly origin—confronted the military resulting in human soldiers turning into stone.

The declassified set of documents states how 23 Russian soldiers were ‘killed’ by as many as FIVE extraterrestrial beings after an alien encounter after soldiers gunned down the ET craft.

The declassified documents, now freely available at the official website of the CIA, is in fact a translation of a Ukrainian newspaper that wrote about the incident.

The newspaper report composed from a 250-page KGB dossier on the alleged UFO attack includes images and witness testimonies, according to the Daily Express.

The UFO is said to have appeared during military unit training in Siberia. The Alien craft was shot down using a surface-to-air missile.

The declassified report states how: “Five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes got out.”

2 soldiers are believed to have survived the attack.

As weird as it sounds, the report states how after the UFO was shot down, five ‘otherworldly beings’ emerged from the crashed UFO. The beings merged in what was described as a massive ball of light which eventually exploded, turning 23 Russian soldiers into stone.

The declassified document states:

The KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the ‘petrified soldiers’ were transferred to a secret research institution near Moscow.

“Specialists assume that a source of energy still unknown to Earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whose molecular structure was no different to limestone.”

At the end of the report, a CIA agent wrote: “If the KGB file corresponds to reality, this is an extremely menacing case.”

“The aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond all our assumptions.”

And while there are certainly many red flags surrounding the report, one of the biggest mysteries is why the CIA held a translation of the Ukrainian newspaper report on file.

It seems that the document—although available on the CIA website—first appeared in declassified KGB files.

Interestingly, a man named Philip Schneider, who worked as an explosive engineer contracted by the U.S. government, with high-level security clearance claimed how in 1979—when he was working on the construction of a secret underground base in New Mexico—he witnessed a horrible battled between aliens and humans that resulted in 60 dead soldiers, and countless subterranean aliens fighting for their life.

Why we slip on ice: Physicists challenge centuries-old assumptions

For over a hundred years, schoolchildren around the world have learned that ice melts when pressure and friction are applied. When you step out onto an icy pavement in winter, you can slip up because of the pressure exerted by your body weight through the sole of your (still warm) shoe. But it turns out that this explanation misses the mark.
