There is music that reaches your ears like a balm, heals you and embraces you with the memories that each note brings to your mind.

There is music we refuse to listen to because it makes us cry, sadness invades us, it makes us travel to the past and remember those who are no longer here.

There is music that makes us dance, free the soul without feeling the pressure to be, that removes our anguish and makes us levitate.

Whatever music it is that you have to feel, dance, remember, don't stop listening to it. They are little pieces of life with magnetic resonance to the madness that we each carry inside.

1. Pyramids are not tombs; no mummy has ever been found inside the pyramid. All mummies were found in the Kings Valley.
2. How the hell do you cut 20-ton blocks of granite with extreme precision and lift them one on top of the other, in the "king's chamber", with WOODEN RAMPS !!
3. Suppose wooden ramps were employed; an entire forest would need to be cleared to supply the wood necessary for transporting 2.3 MILLION massive stone blocks. Where on earth is the proof of such extensive wood usage?
4. There is not a single hieroglyphic text that says ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.
5. How many "slaves" or workers do you need to quarry, cut, and lift 2.3 MILLION stones? Where the hell do you find people who can laser-cut and lift huge tons of granite?
6. How do you position the whole pyramid to face true north, 4000 years ago when the builders "didn't know about the WHEEL"? (That's the bias of mainstream Egyptologists).
7. The top of the pyramid is a quarter of an inch off center (base of the pyramid); that's after placing 2.3 million blocks of stone. When you divide that tiny margin of error by 2.3 million stones, the accuracy at which the stones were placed is unparalleled and has never been done by modern architects with all modern technology.
8. What about all the megalith structures around the world? Why were they building the same geometry with almost the same techniques? What about the pyramids of Japan, found underwater !?
Conclusion: 90% of Human history was buried by time, and the other 10% is written by the victors.
No, it's not aliens. Just Advanced Ancient Human Tech.

When I was young, my father invented a pretend holiday known as Big Sandwich Night, which took place the weekend after Thanksgiving. During this time, we would search for the longest loaf of bread we could find and construct a massive sandwich. Each of us would select extravagant ingredients to create our own personalized section before slicing it up to enjoy. Assembling the sandwich symbolized community and collaboration. Following this, we would set up our Christmas tree, signaling the start of the holiday season with Big Sandwich Night.
I grew up thinking this was a genuine holiday that everyone in America celebrated until, at around eight years old, I asked a friend if they were looking forward to Big Sandwich Night, and they responded with confusion. It was a bit of a blow to my perception of reality. Nonetheless, we continue to honor this tradition and have shared it with friends and loved ones.
As we've welcomed more participants, we've had to join loaves together to create a sandwich ample enough for everyone. Yet, it continues to embody the fundamental idea of everyone coming together to share the same sandwich in camaraderie.

When the Titanic sank, it carried millionaire John Jacob Astor IV. The money in his bank account was enough to build 30 Titanics.
However, faced with mortal danger, he chose what he deemed morally right and gave up his spot in a lifeboat to save two frightened children.
Millionaire Isidor Straus, co-owner of the largest American chain of department stores, "Macy's," who was also on the Titanic, said:
"I will never enter a lifeboat before other men."
His wife, Ida Straus, also refused to board the lifeboat, giving her spot to her newly appointed maid, Ellen Bird. She decided to spend her last moments of life with her husband.
These wealthy individuals preferred to part with their wealth, and even their lives, rather than compromise their moral principles. Their choice in favor of moral values highlighted the brilliance of human civilization and human nature.

This is my house built in 1831 in upstate New York. I purchased the house in 1974. At that time, two elderly ladies lived in the house. There was no heating system. They stayed warm with an antique wood burning stove and a small oil burning stove. Only part of the house was heated. There was one indoor toilet and one sink with cold water only, fed from a 28’ deep hand dug well which still provides us with excellent water to this day. There was a 60 amp electrical service with just a few working receptacles (and the water pump.)
The house is constructed from saw cut field stone blocks of various sizes but laid in symmetrical pattern, left of the center hall to right. The stone was all set with no mortar but the precision in the block cuts is amazing. The blocks range in size from 18” square to 2 to 3 feet in size. The main walls are 18” thick and have a 4” space in the center which was filled with 19th century insulation (straw, corn cobs etc.) the basement walls are 36” thick at base up to 24” thick at first floor sill. The original kitchen was in the basement and the Dutch oven and fireplace still remains. All of the stone was covered with a paste of “New York Sandstone” as one Geologist called it.
All the work in the house including the heating system and electrical plus the insulation, wall resurface, painting, plumbing etc. was done by me (and my father and father-in-law in the early days) including the 1985 addition of 800+ sq. Ft. In the almost 50 years I’ve been involved with the house, I have never seen similar construction in any house.
Now the most amazing part of the story: when I first bought the house, one of my neighbors came down to introduce himself. He then told me that the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad. I remember my comment to him as I scoffed, “oh every old house is claimed to be part of the u.r. I didn’t believe it but he continued to say that there was allegedly an underground tunnel leading from the basement. Incidentally, years later, an elderly school teacher that was related to another neighbor, claimed that it was indeed part of the u.r.
In 1985 when we were digging the foundation for the addition, we found a tunnel leading from the house going toward an old stone fence about 100+ feet from the house. There had been a “bilco” style door going into the basement, long ago filled in with stone. Leading down to the door was a set of stone steps going up to ground level. There was a removable panel, still intact, on the side of the steps. Leading away from the house were two stone walls about 4 to 5 feet high and about 4’ apart. Presumably they had a ceiling over them. The tunnel had long before been filled in. If those walls could talk!
Years later, my son discovered that a well known abolitionist in this area, was the cousin of the home owners wife.
I’ll never know the real story here but most of the pieces fit.
