Long before modern tech, before robots and automation took over the world, something extraordinary was already happening in ancient China. Around 2400 years ago, a group known as the Mohists turned ideas into real machines. They weren't just thinkers-they were engineers ahead of their time. Led by Mozi (470-391...

Mumbai, Maharashtra: Researcher Syed Shamir Hussain presented documents and artifacts related to the Trishul of Lord Shiva and the Vajra of Lord Indra, described as ancient symbols associated with Sanatan Dharma. These artifacts are reportedly around 10,000 years old and were discovered during excavations in the Philippines. If these findings are validated through rigorous archaeological and scientific study, they could suggest that symbols and ideas connected to Sanatan Dharma existed and possibly spread far beyond the Indian subcontinent thousands of years ago. For a long time, civilizations such as Ancient Egypt (around 3100 BCE, roughly 5,000 years old) and Mesopotamia (around 3500 BCE, about 5,500 years old) have been widely considered among the oldest known civilizations. However, if discoveries linked to Sanatan Dharma date back 8,000–10,000 years or more, it would indicate that these traditions were already well developed thousands of years before many other recorded civilizations fully emerged. Many researchers also argue that the ancient history of the Indian subcontinent has not yet been explored or documented as extensively as it should be. Continued research, excavations, and scientific analysis may reveal that early societies connected with Sanatan traditions had already developed knowledge in areas such as metallurgy, symbolism, art, philosophy, and organized social systems at a very early stage in human history.

⏳️🇮🇷 Tehran’s Time Museum: Twelve years of lace-like artistry. Located in the heart of Tehran, this stunning villa is a gem from the Qajar era that was later transformed by businessman Hossein Khodadad in the 1920s. It took master craftsmen twelve long years of delicate plasterwork to give the building the breathtaking look it has today. Before the 1979 Revolution, it was a grand private mansion—a true symbol of prestige where the finest artists of the time poured their soul into every detail. After the revolution, the estate was nationalized and eventually opened its doors to the public in 1999 as Iran’s first Time Museum. Today, it’s a place where you can wander through history, moving from ancient sundials to rare, priceless clocks. With its iconic turquoise walls, intricate mirror work, and a unique blend of Iranian and European Baroque styles, the building itself is a masterpiece that makes you feel like you’ve stepped outside of time.

The New World was inhabited by Scandinavians long before Columbus “The Vikings called America, Huitramannaland: ‘Land of White Men’ Meaning to say, before them, there were already White Men on this continent; more so, that it was the Land of the Whites And these could not have been anything more than the Hyperboreans, those who De Mahieu has also found signs of in the furthest south” -Miguel Serrano He said additionally: “I will synthesize all the ancient history of our pre-Colombian world, if I can call it such, in a dramatic and nostalgic pilgrimage of the white Hyperboreans, survivors of so many tragedies and catastrophes In search of their ancestors, and the ‘impregnable refuge”, replica of Paradise Lost, of Paradesha, of Basiléia, of Aryanabaiji, of Hyperborea, and their capital Thule (a name which later appears in several places throughout Central and South America).”

Is Baphomet really the Devil, and what does the depiction mean? The Knights Templar were prosecuted in the fourteenth century, and under pressure it was written that they worshipped a deity from the East known as Baphomet. They were prosecuted by the elites who were threatened, the King of France and the Pope. The depiction of Baphomet comes from the French occultist Lévi in the nineteenth century as the Goat of Mendes, and it's an alchemical depiction of the balance of opposite forces. Later, in the twentieth century, that depiction was used by Satanic movements for something that has no connection to the real meaning of the depiction. The Goat of Mendes is actually the ancient ram-headed deity connected to Osiris and resurrection, known as Banebdjedet. Ba means soul, and Djed is the ancient name of Mendes, which also means the pillar spine of Osiris, so in a sense Banebdjedet means the soul that is climbing on the pillar. Before we go any deeper, you need to understand that Jesus was also connected to the ram, as He is the Lamb of God. The depiction of Baphomet is knowledge, not something that needs to be worshipped, but the Royal Families and the Pope wanted to forbid that knowledge that the Templars wanted to spread.

When ATEEZ first stepped onto the stage in October 2018, they were eight boys with a dream that seemed far too big for their small beginnings. No one could have guessed that these wide-eyed rookies from a relatively unknown company, KQ Entertainment, would grow into one of K-pop’s most inspiring success stories. From the very beginning, ATEEZ weren’t chasing fame; they were chasing meaning, and the chance to make their voices heard. Before they were performing on global stages, they were just trainees practicing until sunrise, sharing late-night meals, and holding onto faith that someday, someone would notice them. They weren’t born into luxury or fame; they built everything with their own hands. Their journey was far from perfect. It was filled with exhaustion, moments of doubt, and nights when giving up must have felt easier than pushing forward. Yet, they kept going. They turned pain into passion and uncertainty into performance. Every stage became their proof that dreams can be real if you fight for them hard enough. Their message has always been deeply human: to keep chasing your dream, even when it feels impossible. They call themselves “the youth who move forward,” but they have become something even greater. They are living proof that ordinary people with extraordinary determination can change their fate. 7 years after that debut, ATEEZ stand on some of the biggest stages in the world, performing for thousands who sing their songs back to them. Despite all the fame, they remain grounded, still those same boys who once practiced in small rooms and endless hope. Happy 7 years ATEEZ 💗 7 YEARS WITH ATEEZ #에이티즈_7주년_항해는_계속된다 #7_years_with_ATEEZ #A_TO_Z ATEEZ(에이티즈)

Vimanas are described in ancient Indian texts as highly advanced aerial craft, capable of vertical ascent, sustained hovering, and interplanetary travel. Far from primitive myth, these vehicles are depicted as engineered machines—metallic, luminous, and powered by forces unknown to modern science. In epics such as the Mahabharata, vimanas are used by god-like beings in warfare, reconnaissance, and long-distance travel, demonstrating flight capabilities that rival or exceed modern aerospace technology. These accounts describe craft that emitted intense light, thunderous vibrations, and devastating energy-based weapons, suggesting the use of advanced propulsion systems and directed-energy technology. Rather than symbolic chariots of imagination, some researchers propose that these descriptions may represent ancient eyewitness accounts of technologically superior beings—often associated with the Anunnaki—who possessed knowledge of gravity control, advanced materials, and cosmic navigation. From this perspective, vimanas may not be mythological at all, but remnants of suppressed or lost technological knowledge, preserved through symbolic language after civilizations collapsed. The so-called “gods” of antiquity may have been advanced non-human or off-world intelligences whose technology was later deified, misunderstood, or deliberately encoded into sacred texts to survive the passage of time. What remains is a tantalizing blueprint of an ancient, forgotten age—one in which humanity may have once shared the skies with beings far more advanced than we are today.

Nturo, a martyred village, evacuated three times in 30 years (Original in French published yesterday) The village of Nturo tragically illustrates the fate of Congolese Tutsis. Three times since 1994, these cattle herders have been forced to abandon their lands. Nearly all their cows have been slaughtered, and many of them have been killed by the militias rampant in the region. As early as 1995, Hutu génocidaires and the defeated Rwandan army began venturing farther and farther from the Goma camps, where they were generously assisted by international organizations that turned a blind eye to the fact that they were aiding murderers (including women, often complicit in the genocide). Stolen cattle were slaughtered in abattoirs funded by international aid! Stripped of their belongings and threatened with death simply for being Tutsis - and for the génocidaires, it was about finishing the “job” - they were forced to seek refuge in Rwanda or Uganda, where they lived in camps for years. On October 5, 2023, the village was set ablaze by the Hutu Nyatura militia, the FDLR, and the FARDC. Burundian troops, present as part of one of the many “peace agreements,” were camped on a hill just a few hundred meters away. They stood by, weapons at rest, in perfect complicity with the arsonists. The residents, having had time to flee to Bwiza in an area controlled by the M23, returned two months later after the zone was retaken by the latter. They found their village completely devastated. Since then, they have rebuilt it, but in a more concentrated manner: isolated homes—seen burning in the images—were deemed too difficult to defend. The work accomplished is impressive. Freshly cut wood bears witness to the recent reconstruction. During my daytime visit, only one generator was running. A few kilometers away, you can see the power line supplying Kabila’s farm, but no village benefits from it. These Congolese Tutsis, rooted in Masisi since time immemorial, have been driven from their lands three times in thirty years, the most recent being less than two years ago. They have been massacred, their cattle stolen or killed. Why would they trust the authorities in Kinshasa or the “international community”? The M23 is their only protector, the sole guarantor of their survival. The alternative? At worst, death. At best, an undignified life in a refugee camp in a country not their own. Olivier J.P.

Kazakhstan, believed to be birthplace of apple and also thought to be land where man first tamed wild horse. Alan Outram, a British archaeologist from University of Exeter, stated that his research team had discovered evidence that pushed back earliest signs of widespread riding and milking of horses by 1000 to 2000 years from previous estimates. The excavated remains of horses from Botai region of northern Kazakhstan. Radiocarbon dating established that these remains were around 5,500 years old – a period far earlier than Old Kingdom of Egypt or ancient Sumerian culture of Mesopotamia and even before the Mohenjo-Daro civilization of modern Pakistan. Teeth of these small steppe horses showed unmistakable evidence of having been subjected to bits – an indication that they were used either for riding or pulling carts. They also found broken pieces of pottery used by Botai culture that still contained elements of fat from horses and their milk. This was clear evidence that steppe horses were already being used at this early date to provide both meat and milk – substances which remain prized in Kazakh cuisine and culture today. Researchers also found that horse bones they excavated were slender – a sure sign throughout history of domesticated and carefully bred horses, not of wild ones that had not been subjected to controlled and selective breeding. Outram’s discoveries are also consistent with a wider emerging body of evidence that many of key developments in human civilization and agriculture took place across vast steppes of heartland of Asia, and not just in river valleys of Middle East and southern and Eastern Asia, as archaeologists for so long assumed. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of towns and therefore of urban civilization, in territories of modern Kazakhstan far earlier than experts previously assumed. This uncovered that horse was domesticated in Asian steppes at least 3100 to 3600 years ago in Botai region – a period of time parallel with New Kingdom of Egypt and Minoan Empire of ancient Crete. Early findings uncovered primitive tools for working leather that suggested, first, that cattle were being domesticated to provide leather and hides and, second, that leather was being worked to make harnesses that could only have been used on horses, not cattle. Outram team was surprised by amount of confirmation they actually uncovered and, most of all, by the far earlier dates that their data belonged to. New finds also suggest that traditional practices of ancient Kazakh tribes – eating meat of their horses and drinking their milk as well as using them for transportation – go back thousands of years to the dawn of civilization. They also suggest that spirit of innovation and technology in ancient history did not come only from towns and densely populated river valley cultures on rims of Africa and Asia, but also from heart of “grass ocean” of steppe. Though larger world’s discovery of Kazakhstan’s early domestication of horse is recent, Kazakh scholars have long argued that their homeland was origin of taming of horse. Location, climatic and environmental demands of steppe life would have logically focused the ingenuity and expertise of its people in this direction as essential skills to their survival. Latest findings confirm these long held local beliefs. Popularity and significance of horse in Kazakh culture today remains strong. New hippodromes or racetracks have opened in Almaty, nation’s largest city and in Kazakhstan’s new capital Astana. Equestrian sports centers have sprung up and horse trekking in nation’s national parks and mountains are popular pastimes. Kazakhstan has emerged from mists of history as both the most modern and ancient of nations along fabled Silk Road. And its long-cherished equestrian culture has now revealed to have provided a giant gallop forward for human progress. 🎥© adilet_rakhmetolla (IG) © National Geographic Magazine #archaeohistories

This is the part people skip, and it changes everything. Look at the collar: dozens of perfectly parallel grooves flowing over a compound curve, then meeting crisp hieroglyphs and framed scenes without the spacing collapsing. That is not random artistry. That is layout, measurement, and repeatable process. In Egypt’s Late Period, anthropoid stone sarcophagi became a prestige technology in their own right, carved in hard, fine-grained stone with long offering texts and protective deities. One benchmark example is the British Museum’s siltstone sarcophagus of the vizier Sasobek (26th Dynasty, around 600 BC), described as among the finest of its type. How did they get this finish? Ancient Egyptian stoneworking is widely understood as an abrasives driven craft: copper or bronze tools, drills, and saws did not “slice” hard stone by themselves, they carried quartz sand and other abrasives that did the cutting, followed by intensive grinding and polishing. Now the question that should start an argument: If this level of repeatable precision was achievable at scale, what was the real “advanced technology” here: the tools, or the workshop system? Time budget guess: how many person-hours for just the collar and inscription fields, not the whole coffin?

Before modern indexed shifting became standard, some bicycles used fully mechanical automatic derailleur systems that changed gears without any rider input. Designs like the Suntour Auto Shift relied on centrifugal force generated by rear wheel rotation to control when and how the drivetrain shifted. As speed increased, internal rotating weights inside the mechanism moved outward, activating linkages that adjusted cable tension. This movement guided the derailleur across the cassette, allowing the bike to shift into higher gears automatically, then return to lower gears as speed dropped. Although innovative, these systems were sensitive to setup and riding conditions, which limited their long term adoption. Advances in indexed shifters and rider demand for precise manual control eventually replaced automatic mechanical solutions, turning designs like this into a rare but fascinating chapter in cycling engineering history.

The story of Atlantis comes from the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who wrote about it in his works Timaeus and Critias. He described Atlantis as a large and powerful island civilization that existed far out in the Atlantic Ocean. According to the story, Atlantis was highly advanced, with great buildings, canals, and a well organized society. The city itself was said to be built in rings, with land and water laid out in a careful pattern. At first, the people of Atlantis lived in balance and followed higher principles, but over time they became greedy, corrupt, and focused on power. Plato’s account says that as the people changed, their society began to fall apart. The gods, seeing this decline, decided to punish Atlantis. In a single day and night of disaster, the island was struck by massive earthquakes and floods. The land broke apart, and the entire civilization sank into the sea, disappearing beneath the water. The story was passed down as a warning about what can happen when a society loses its values and becomes consumed by control and excess.

Back at my mom’s house I was sitting in the living room playing video games in my my underwear, I was around 12 years old and ever body was working until about 5pm so I still had a few hours before anybody was there. I usually kept the doors locked but the front door wasn’t locked, I just didn’t know that yet. I walked into the kitchen to grab a snack and a drink. I didn’t know that a family of three people just walked into the house. I came back holding a bag of chips and a drink and I saw two people standing there and another one just sitting on the couch like they were supposed to be there. My 12 year old brain couldn’t comprehend what was happening and I ran out of the house and to the neighbors house. I finally calmed down and told her what was happening, she grabbed her husband and went over there, I’m surprised they didn’t call the police first. The people in the house told the neighbor that they were friends of my dad and they were visiting from Pittsburgh. My neighbor called my dad at the restaurant and confirmed he knew them. He ended up leaving the restaurant and coming back early. His friends confused what days he was off from work and decided to come by and visit unannounced. He also told them it wasn’t a good idea to just walk in and that even though they were friends they should always knock on the door. I had never met these people before so I thought it was some kind of home invasion, it scared me. But from that point on I always made sure the doors were locked and that I was dressed decently just in case of unexpected visitors.

Back at my mom’s house I was sitting in the living room playing video games in my my underwear, I was around 12 years old and ever body was working until about 5pm so I still had a few hours before anybody was there. I usually kept the doors locked but the front door wasn’t locked, I just didn’t know that yet. I walked into the kitchen to grab a snack and a drink. I didn’t know that a family of three people just walked into the house.

Across most of history, there are continuous reports of weird ass aquatic beings appearing for a time and then vanishing again. These accounts show up in different cultures and eras, from fish like teachers in ancient stories to modern sightings of objects entering and leaving the ocean. One idea that has started to surface is some of these beings, if real, may not be constantly active at all. They may follow a cycle more like certain animals on Earth, appearing briefly and then disappearing for super long periods. In nature, there are species like the lungfish that can enter a state of deep dormancy called estivation, slowing their systems down and surviving for months or even years with almost no activity. If something similar exists, it could help explain why these reports come in waves. Instead of constant presence, these beings may operate in cycles of activity and deep rest, possibly tied to environmental conditions we do not fully understand. The ocean, especially at great depth, offers stable and hidden spaces where long term dormancy could occur without disturbance. This idea does not require advanced speculation on its own. It follows a pattern already seen in life on Earth, where survival often depends on timing, conservation of energy, and long periods of stillness between moments of movement.

The CIA’s Remote Viewing Session on Ancient Mars In 1984, a U.S. Army remote viewer participated in what would become one of the most famous sessions in the CIA’s declassified archives. The target was not a military installation or an enemy base, but Mars, specifically, Mars approximately one million years ago. The viewer was not told the target beforehand. Instead, they were given sealed instructions and a series of geographic coordinates on the Martian surface, with the monitor simply asking them to describe what they perceived. What followed has fascinated researchers ever since. The viewer immediately described enormous geometric structures rising from a barren landscape with huge pyramids, massive stone walls, deep canyons, and smooth, megalithic architecture unlike anything found on Earth today. As the session continued, the descriptions grew even stranger. The viewer reported seeing extraordinarily tall humanoid beings that were thin, ancient, and dressed in what they described as light, silk clothing. At first, they appeared almost like shadows, as though they were fading from existence. When instructed to focus more closely, the viewer said the towering structures were not monuments but shelters, offering protection from catastrophic storms sweeping across the planet. Inside were vast chambers that appeared almost empty like places designed just for waiting and survival. The beings themselves were described as a civilization in decline. According to the viewer, they knew their world was dying and were desperately searching for another place to live. Some had already departed, while others remained behind, waiting for those explorers to return. When asked what had devastated the planet, the viewer struggled to describe it, reporting an image of something passing through space. A globe interacting with what seemed like a comet’s tail or immense cosmic disturbance. The atmosphere, they said, was collapsing. Near the end of the session, the monitor instructed the viewer to ask one of the ancient beings who they were. The response was unexpected, the being did not recognize the viewer and instead seemed to perceive them only as a hallucination. When asked what happened to those who had left Mars, the viewer described the interior of a large metallic craft before following them to what appeared to be a world filled with volcanoes, strange plants, and a far more hospitable environment. The session ended there, with no conclusions offered and no claims verified. Today, the transcript survives because it was later declassified as part of the CIA’s archive. Its existence confirms that the remote viewing experiment took place, but it does not confirm that the perceptions accurately describe ancient Mars. Whether viewed as a psychological experiment, an intelligence curiosity, or one of the strangest documents ever released by the U.S. government, the Mars Exploration session remains one of the most debated records in the history of the remote viewing program.

An Arabized Islamist, who calls himself a "Kurd" and serves as an official in Julani's terror regime, claims: "Many people say the Kurds in Jazira came from Turkey and Iraq, and are not native inhabitants." No real Kurd would ever speak of his own people like that. The Julani terror regime, just like the Turkish fascist regime, is using loyal "kurds" to spread propaganda and false information, however nobody falls to them. Fact: Kurds have been native to the MENA region for thousands of years, with roots tracing back to the Medes Empire and ancient Gutians, while Arabs were still in Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen) and later imposed Arabization after conquest in 7th century CE Under the Rashidun and Umayyad caliphates (starting around 632–750 CE), Arab armies swept out of the Peninsula, defeating the Byzantine and Sasanian empires and incorporating Kurdish-inhabited regions into the new Islamic empire. This led to widespread Arabization over centuries: the imposition of Arabic language, administration, and cultural elements, alongside gradual Islamization Kurds, already established in their mountainous homeland long before these events, adopted Islam but retained their distinct language, identity, and tribal structures despite pressures toward assimilation.

Two weeks ago I fixed one of my teeth with algorithms I wrote a couple of years ago! I got hooked by 3D scanning when I started to work for a software shop in Zurich that was programming 3D computational geometry algorithms for denture scanning to produce crowns (and more). Back then, a typical reconstruction pipeline was like: scan the patient’s teeth using an intraoral scanner, reconstruct the surface mesh, design the restoration digitally, and finally mill the crown out of ceramic. We were working mostly with point clouds and meshes, but it wasn’t just math, it was craftsmanship translated into a digital process. Every micron mattered. You could literally see how a good algorithm meant a better fit in someone’s mouth. Gaussian Splatting isn’t about surface reconstruction, it’s about appearance reconstruction. It doesn’t care about explicit topology, it captures how light interacts with the scene. In a sense, it’s the opposite philosophy of the dental world: instead of modeling what the object is, it models how the object looks. 3D Gaussian Splatting enables applications like training self driving cars, teaching robots to understand their environment, creating virtual worlds, or monitoring real sites. It represents scenes as millions of small Gaussians rendered in real time without the need for meshes or textures. Coming from a world where precision geometry was everything, this shift felt natural. It’s still about reconstruction, but with a different goal: not manufacturing a perfect object, but reproducing how the world actually looks. Two weeks ago I got my first dental crown, made with the same software, reconstruction algorithms, and Swiss precision I once helped develop. I haven’t worked there in two years, but sitting in that chair and seeing the process from the other side was a proud moment. It reminded me why I love this field.

🇬🇷 The funniest thing I’ve seen in my life is nationalist Greeks desperately trying to convince the whole world that they’re whiter than Turks. They genuinely seem to hate themselves. The video was shot in a village coffeehouse in Greece and shared on a European page. The comments under it were pure comedy because people hadn’t imagined Greeks like that at all — everyone compared them to gypsies. Greeks trying to portray themselves as white and European is really pathetic, because there are no real Greeks left in Greece. It’s entirely a composite nation gathered from various Balkan peoples. They stole their language from the Ancient Greeks, who disappeared 3,500 years ago. Until about 100 years ago, almost no one spoke this language, which is why it only became the official language in 1976. Their flag actually comes from the British East India Company. The original flag was red, but because all Greek kings were German starting with the first one, Bavarian Otto they changed the color to Bavarian blues. (So it has no real meaning.) All their kings were German. Their population consists of Christian Turks, Albanians, Slavs, and Vlachs. No need to say anything else. It is a fake project state, artificially created by the great powers of the era as a buffer zone against the Turks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​🤷‍♂️
