Part.1 - Pompeii
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1380282/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWaCx2H6hZg

Last Roman City of Roman - Pompeii (79 AD)


One message emerges very clearly
Pompeii was in the business of selling sex
and on a large scale.

80% population poor .. most of the sex Quick and Dirty,


Lupanar: Biggest brothel of Pompeii

41 brothel, number increases ...


Elite Private Sex Club

Voyeurism


"Sex was money"


Roman Baths.
6 public baths.



"When Pompeii was first discovered, archeologist were shocked * and they've found,
the presend of brothels and pornography led many to believe that the city was deviate
and had been destroyed by Divine wrath, just like Sodom and Ghamorah.

Certainly in Pompeii sex for hire was easy to find,
new evidence reveals a complete sexual map of Pompeii
13 curbs or rooms right of the street set aside for prostitution,
9 baths, theaters or amphitheaters were sex available for price,
at least 7 private sex club for rich,
and 41 confirmed brothels, including the world's oldest known purpose build brothel - the Lupanar Grande,
it's a lot of brothels for a city of sex thousand.


if the Pompeii was not the center of ancient prostitution,
where was the real six capital?
ROME!


37 AD just 42 years before the eruption of Vesuvius
Caligula became emperor.
..
Caligula turned sex-for-sell, into state sanction business.
He sets up a brothel inside the Emperor Palace,
the brothel is staffed by the wives, daughters and sons of leading citizens and upper class men.

Caligula was succeeded by Nero.

Part. 2 - Egypt - Turin Erotic Papyrus
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1495937/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMs4rPxjYAo

Papyrus 55001, more commonly known as Turin Erotic Papyrus.


"Sex was also central to ancient creation myths.
Contained within the British Museum is an ancient papyrus
which shows how the Egyptian believed how their gods performed sexual act to create the world.
its a rare piece of evidence, which reveals the sex form magical and mystical expect to religious beliefs in ancient Egypt.

In one way the Egyptians were very different from us,
they are very discreet about human sexual activity but
when it comes to the gods the iconography to us seems just to be simple pornographic."


"But could the Turin Erotic Papyrus be the ancient pornography?


Deir el-Medina


"Woman's hair is being pulled by old man,
HAIR WAS VERY EROTIC in ancient Egypt.

Hair was one of the most erotic things a woman could have in ancient Egypt,
specially in new kingdom of in the 18th in the 19th dynasty."

"Bigger and more elaborate your wig, the sexier you are."

"Healthy heartbeat has a distinctive fractal pattern , a signature."


"The bigger you are you actually need less energy ... to stay alive."
This relationship between the mass and energy uses any living thing is governed by strict
mathematical formula: E=M3/4"


 
"The beautiful thing is that  distribution of the sizes of individual trees in the forest
appears to be exactly match the distribution of the sizes of indivual brances within a single tree.
"Relative number of big and small trees, closely matches the relative number of big ans small branches."


"For generations the scientists believed that the wilderness of the nature could not be defined
by mathematics, but fractal geometry is leading to a whole new understanding, revealing the
underline order, governed by simple mathematical rules."

EVERYTHING AND NOTHING

EVERYTHING AND NOTHING
Professor Al-Khalili
BBC (2011)

http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/everything-and-nothing/

EXCERPTS:

PART.1 - EVERYTHING

"Our sun is just one of a multitude of stars.
It's surrounded by over 200 billion of them in our own Milky Way Galaxy alone.
Our sun is just a speck in the vast beach of stars.
But the Milky Way Galaxy is in itself just one of 100 billion galaxies scatted throughout the cosmos."


"What's the totality of everything there is?
Crab Nubula were seen in the sky in 1572.
".. it shines five billion times more brightly than our own sun.
In 1572, a supernova like this would have become visible on planet Earth.
.. And to anyone who saw it, it must have been an extremely shocking and mysterious sight.
This new light in the night sky shone more brightly than Venus and even became visible during the day."



"Digges shows it, unlike Copernicus, Diggs shows it as being infinite.
This is a sphere, he says, of the stars fixed infinitely up.


Digges raised the question. If Universe is infinite and static then why the night sky is not as bright as day (Olbers' paradox).
Answer lies under the 'static', universe is not static.


WILLIAM HERSCHEL, metallic telescopes, discovery of Uranus


FIEDRICH BESSEL worked out to measure the accurate distances in outer space.


"The diameter of the Earth's orbit is 300 million kilometers.


HENRIETTA LEAVITT, true size of the universe.


"The idea that our Milky Way might contain everything that existed was about to crumble."


"The scale of the universe is really only understood amazingly recenlty.
In the 1920s, it was absolutely plausible that the universe consists of one galaxy,
and some of the best astonomers in the world, in the us for example,
seriously held that view, and had good evidence that it was true.
And they were wrong."


"The evidence to finally settle the great debate would be found
thanks to the powerful new Hooker telescope being build at the Mount Wilson Observatory
just outside Los Angeles.
Using this incredible piece of technology, and Henrietta leavitt's ingenious method
for calculating distance,
a young astronomer would make a discovery that would change our view of the universe
and for ever immortalise his name.
The astronomer was called Edwin Hubble."


Andromeda, our galactic neighbor, 2.5 million light years away.
"contains over a trillion stars."


Euclid's Geometry.


Carl Friedrich Gauss.
"Specifically, Gauss began to see that in curved spaces,
other types of geometry could exist, with different rules to Euclid's.
For exampe, on the surface of a sphere, the angles of a triangle can add up to more than 180 degrees." (90+90+90 = 270)



"Einstein would reveal that we live not in the flat world of Euclid,
but in the strange curved worlds of Gauss and Riemann."


"In the space of a few short years,
Einstein went from wrestling with some of the most difficult and abstract mathematical ideas to dinner dates with Charlie Chaplin.
And it was all thanks to the pinnacle of his life's work -
the General Theory of Relativity.

In the General Theory of Relativity Einstein took the mathematics of Gauss and Riemann
and used it to paint a revolutionary picture of the physical world."


"They revealed that it was the presence of mass that caused space to curve and distort.The reason we have gravity on Earth is because the Earth is actually bending the space around it."


"Gauss, Riemann and Einstein, had between them come up with a description of how the SPACE and TIME we exist in can be warped.
They showed that space and time are not the FIXED, unchanging stage on which the actions of the universe are played out.
They are actually part of the performance."


Einstein refused to believe that the universe is expanding, its dynamic and changing.
"In fact, he was so convinced that it was static, that he was prepared to modify his original equations by adding an extra turn , called the cosmological constant that would stabilise the universe.
But Einstein was trying to fix something that wasn't broken.

Armed with the Hooker telescope,
Hubble would reveal the truth that Einstein had refused to believe.
After discovering that our galaxy was just one of many,
Hubble began to study the ways in which these other galaxies were moving."

"Hubble knew that, as a light source approaches us, the light wave would become COMPRESSED and appear BLUE  ./\/\/\/\/\/\/
If an object was receding, the light waves become STRETCHED OUT and appear RED.   /  \  /  \  /  \  /  \  /
What he saw was astounding. All distant galaxies were being red shifted.
They were all moving away from us.
Not only that, BUT FURTHER AWAY A GALAXY WAS, THE FASTER IT WAS MOVING AWAY.


"Hubble's observations and Einstein's general theory of relativity were in agreement.
BUT, and this is the crucial point here, IT'S NOT THAT THE GALAXIES ARE FLYING AWAY FROM EACH OTHER THROUGH SPACE.
BUT RATHER THAT THE FABRIC OF SPACE ITSELF, IN BETWEEN THE GALAXIES, IS EXPANDING.
So the universe in its entirety is getting bigger.
This is what Hubble and Einstein's work revealed."


"Our entire universe is 13.7 billion years old."


"Ok, so here it is, here's where i hope this all makes sense.
The further away a star is, the longer it would take for its light to reach the Earth.
So, if the universe has been around forever, then all the light that's out there will have had time to reach us, and the night sky would be ablaze with starlight.
But it's not.
And here's why.
Imagine when the universe was much younger and smaller than it is today.
A beam of light on the other side of the universe begins a journey towards our vantage point.
But, as space expands, the distance the light has to cross keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Fast forward to today, and this light still hasn't reached us.
So, no matter how hard we look into the sky,
we simply won't be able to see it.
We can only see the stars whose light has had time to reach us
in the 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang.
This region is known as the observable universe.
And there are not enough stars here to light up the night sky.

So, we only ever see the stars and galaxies whose light has had a chance to reach us,
and that's why it gets dark at night."


"It took 200 years of theorizing, of thinking, it took the development of general relativity,
before we could understand why the sky at night is dark."


"If the expansion of the universe continues to accelerate (as it does)
then our visible universe will begin to empty.
Let me explain. Imagine that I'm in a distant galaxy that you can see from Earth.
As the space between us stretches there will come a time in the future when it is expanding so rapidly that light can't outrun it, and the galaxy will disappear from view.
What this means
is that , far into the future, some 100 billion years from now,
if intelligent life forms still exist in our galaxy,
they'll look out into space and see only the stars in our own Milky Way.
All the other galaxies will have disappeared.
And they will be alone in a vast, dark, empty expanse."
________________________________

PART.2 - NOTHING


"This film tells the story of how we've begun to understand what is known as the void,
or the vacuum, emptiness or simply nothing.

"Today, we believe the 'void' contains nature's deepest secrets.
It might even explain why we exist at all.
And that's because, to the best of our knowledge,
the entire universe appeared nearly 14 billion years ago
OUT OF NOTHING."


"For over 1000 years,
our understanding of empty space was defined by one man -
the Greek philosopher Aristotle.
.. He came to believe that nature would forever fight against the creation of true nothingness.
As he put it, nature abhors a vacuum."


"The man who would finally do what Aristotle thought impossible
was an Italian Jesuit called Evangelista Torricelli.


ATMOSPHEREIC PRESSURE
"We live at the bottom of an ocean of air." Torrecelli


"Pressure of the air fell as you went higher." experimented by Blaise Pascall


"Pascal's experiments would lead to the realization that the Earth is cocooned in an atmosphere that rapidly thins out the higher you go...
eventually becoming the cold, silent expanse of space.

Torricelli and Pascal had begun to unravel a profound truth -
NOTHING IS EVERYWHERE.


"NATURE DOESN'T ABHOR A VACUUM.
A VACUUM IS NATURE'S DEFAULT STATE.


"What exactly were the properties of nothingness?


"The vacuum wasn't empty at all.
The fact that they could see insdie it
meant that there still had to be something left in there.
Just as air carries sound waves,
they believed there had to be a medium carrying the light waves.
And whatever it was, it was proving very difficult to get rid of.


"And if that this substance existed in our vacuums on Earth,
it meant that it also existed out there.
It appeared once again that NOTHINGNESS COULD NOT EXIST IN NATURE.
Everything in the universe appeared to be sitting within an INVISIBLE MEDIUM,
what scientists called the lunineferous aether.


ALBERT MICHELSON, the scientist who conducted it, (experiment to measure speed of light)
would go on to become America's first Nobel Prize winner.


"How could light always be traveling at the same speed?
Well, the answer is simple. The aether doesn't exist."


"So the message from the failure of Michelson and Morley's experiments is this -
THERE IS NOT AIETHER.

May be the vacuum is really empty.
If only it were that simple.

Everything from the light bulb to the television
were only made possible because they could contain withing them
small volumes of vacuum.

The filament inside a light bulb can glow for long periods
because it is contained within a vacuum.

Expose it to air and it would simply burn out in seconds.


Because vacuum technology was getting so much cheaper, and more efficient,
scientists all over the world could use it as a tool for research.
In empty space, nature's tiniest constituents could now be studied
without interfernce from the contaminant-filled air of the outside world.

THIS REVOLUTIONISED PHYSICS.

Because of the 'vacuum':
X-rays were discovered in 1895.
The following year, the electron was identified for the first time.
And n 1909, Ernest Rutherford would use vacuums to help reveal the strange structure of the atom.

These discoveries were all feeding into a radically new picture
It was a theory that would come to be known as quantum mechanics.



Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.

"The world of quantum physics, the microscopic world,is a world of uncertainty.
.. nature itself is based on uncertainty."


"More i know about where something is,
the less i know about it is moving."
in a quantum world.
I cannot at the same time know both these quantities exactly.


VACUUM IS ALIVE.
"The vacuum, contrary to what one normayll expects from the vacuum, is alive,
It's alive with what physicists call Quantum Fluctuations.
IN THE VACUUM, LITTLE PACKETS OF ENERGY APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR VERY VERY QUICKLY.
This is perfectly allowed by the laws of physics.
It's all allowed but it has an name, its called Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
which tells us that you can BORROW ENERGY FROM NOTHING, so long as you pay it back quickly enough."



PAUL DIRAC, BRITAIN Theorist physicist
Dirac's Equation. Anti-Matter

"By 1928, physics was struggling with a big problem.
The tow most important theories that described how the universe worked,
didn't agree with eachother.
On the one hand, you had Einstein's special theory of relativity
 encapsulated in the famous equation E=mc2.
It was a beautiful, simple and elegant theory that describes the behavior of thing close to the speed of light.
On the other hand, you had Planck's discovery of the Quantum
 and the revolution that followed describing the bizarre rules of the very very small.
...
It would be Dirac who would achieve this. (marriage of both theories)


"In fact, Dirac once said that the equation was smarter than he was
because it actually gave more stuff out than he put into it."



"If the vacuum were truly empty, this 'peak' wouldn't exist, we'd just get a flat line.
What this is telling us is that however hard we try to remove everything we can from space, we can never get it truly empty.
Everywhere in the universe, space is filled with this vacuum that has deep, mysterious energy."


"The theory of quantum mechanics is the most accurate and powerful description of the natural world that we have."


"Today, our best theories about the cosmos tell us that at the beginning of time,
the universe sprang from the vacuum.
Creating not only vast amounts of matter, but also the strange stuff that was predicted by Paul Dirac - Anti-Matter.
But the universe we see today is made of matter, nearly all of the anti-matter seems to have vanished."


"So, we are simply the debris of huge annihilation of matter and antimatter at the beginning of time. The leftovers of unimaginable explosion."

"What we once thought of as the void
now seems to hold within it, the deepest mysteries of the entire universe."

Prostitution: Behind the Veil

Prostitution: Behind the Veil
BBC (2004)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457441/

Excerpt:

When Khomeni came to power, contraceptives were banned.
which doubled the population in 25 years.
the regime realised its mistake and lifted the ban.
But too late.
Today, half the population is children and young adults.

Critics:

This documentary is good as far as to glimpse the Iranian society and way of living.
But Thematically and Tital-ically, i would say it does not justice.
Its title does not match with the theme,and its theme does not stay at one place.
First half is inclined more to Revolution, Khomeni, Politics, Poverty in Iran, then it turns to women and their rights and suddenly after one accident scene it turns to Sighe Marriage. while the title 'Prostitution' just stays aside.


Let me explain: This documentary is not about purely prostitution, but actually  lives of two girls; Fariba and Mina, whose husbands are jailed due to drugs/smuggling and possibly murdering. So without husbands these girls with children facing difficulties in society and adopt this job - prostitution.
But it seems misery is attached with girls not in the society, first thing they are heroin addictive. and i guess any society in the world would not advocate for this, specially for woman who have very young kids.
another thing when one of these girls are get the chance for marriage and chance to live happy life, but soon she proved a bad-wife, and marriage broke with couple of days.
While in one scene when a sister of one girl visited her, she also tells that she is divorced and working in some university and living a respective decent life. So it shows all the divorced women in Iran are not going to prostitute like those 2 girls.

More than half documentary revolves around the 'Sighe Marriage' (or Temporary Marriage).
First thing 'sighe marraig'e has nothing to do with prostitution as title suggests. It is legal in Islam and it is done publicly. It is exact same like marriage except Duration of Marriage is predefined.
It is controversial in Islam as well, Sunnis say No to it, but in Shia it is legal, because it was legal in the time of Prophet Muhammad, and prophet did not forbid it. It was also allowed in 1st Caliph Abu Bakr, but 2nd Caliph banned it. But according to Shia these Caliphs have no any right to play with Islam Laws, so they sticks whatever the Prophet allowed and whatever Prophet forbade.
Practically this sighe-marriage is same as boyfriend-girlfriend in western society, but in sighe marraige the couple is considered a married couple and also a child knows his father.
If you give a little heed you'll know in the presence of this temporary marriage there is no way for girl to go prostitution. (as it also proves in the end of documentary)

Death of a Mars Rover (2011)

Death of a Mars Rover
NGC (2011)

EXCERPT

sol 1899 Spirit mission become rescue mission. [sol = one day of mars]
3000 million miles away the rover waited for instructions from back home.

Life on Mars has always been more struggle for Spirit than Opportunity.


OPPORTUNITY got a quick start in January 2004, after the 7 months journey from Earth.

On other side of Mars, SPIRIT landed three weeks ahead of Opportunity.

Spirit is in southern hemisphere in the Mars.


In March 2010 Spirit did not call home for schedule communication session.
No longer able to capture enough solar energy to wakeup in the morning, (it was winter at Mars)
the rover likely went in hibernation mode.
No survival heaters, no power to communicate.
...
In April 2011, they began a final all out effort to contact.
IN May 25th they were down to their final effort.
She didn't call back.Spirit's time one Mars may have been done (Johan Callas, Project Manager)


There's still now way of knowing to sure if Spirit is dead or alive.
But there's virtually no chance now.


A long after when both rovers finally quit for good they will be sitting on the surface of planet where little has changed for billion of years.

Cylinder Seal (2000 BC): Saturn with rings (which according to our modern world was unknown until the invention of telescope, Galileo first saw it and consider it a planet with ears, bcz its rings looked like ears)


Plowing was taught to Sumerians, by god of agriculture.


Sumerian knew the Heliocentric theory.


"At one time a groups of 50 Anunnaki, led by a leader whom the called Enki, came from their planet, Planet X or Nibiru.. they came for reason, they came for purpose, and the purpose was gold, because their atmosphere was dwindling.."

"Enki stays on Earth quite a long time and at some point he felt he ought to tell his story.."

"Autobiography of Enki, which starts by saying: "when i approach the Earth, i saw a greenish marshes, we splash landed in the waters, we waided ashore, i commanded so and so - name is given - to test water and see if there is pottable water, i commanded so and so to build us some shelter, i commanded so and so to see if there is some edible food. ... ...."


They setup 7 Settlements on Earth. called Aden (Eden) and they chose a central point called Niphor (at Persian Gulf, Iraq). all settlements were for different purpose and Niphor was exact in center and work as HQ.

They kept coming in the group of 50 until their number reached 600.
and used Mars as way-station.


At some time those working in mines began to complain to his chief Enki, that we are astronauts we are not supposed to to such hard labor and dig gold. Enki said. Ok no problem we will mutate these beings, make them little bit more intelligent upto our level as they can understand our language and follow our orders and we'll use them to do this job.
Enki's sister was chief chief medical doctor and did lot of experiments, and finally succeeded in her job and she victoriously shouted "My hands have made it!" when carrying a 'new model' human.
"Let us fashion the earthling (Adamu) in our image and after our likeness"


in Zecharia words:
"There are several texts, particularly one known as Antrakhasis Epic, described time and event where those working in mines mutiny, and they said no more, this is no the kind of work we do, we are astronauts, we are suppose to work spacecraft we are not supposed to do mutiny. .. and then the same Enki who was a scientist, said we dont have to abandon our (project*)...being which is very similar to us "all we have to do is put our mark on it, our genetic mark. and thereby raise that beings more to our level so it could follow our commands and understand our language and do the work for us."



"They shifted their whole project ... to new place.
They chose new 'mission control center' at Jerusalem.
Prophet was lifted to heaven from Jerusalem, Jesus was crucified at Jerusalem.


PYRAMIDS - ARTIFICIAL MOUNTAINS, made by Anunnakies.
PYRAMID WARS


Gilgamesh was son of goddess. not
He came to his mother, he actually was not only a demigod but He was toothless divine.
Bcz his mother, not his father, his mother was a goddess. and he said if i am toothless divine -  toothless Anunnaki genetically - why should i die like a mortal? she said alright but inorder to attend our longevity, you have to go beyond our planet. so he went in search of immortality and the epic Gilgamesh is well know literary work.


Gilgamesh reported Rocket Launch, rocket launch site, depicted on one of ancient Phoenician coin.
Three 1100 ton stones put on the wall.


Nuclear Weapons were used, SINAI was target, (22400 BC)
"and you can see to this day, immense cavity from space, this is NASA photograph, and the crack in the penninsula is the result."
huge field of pure lime stone, totally broke stones.

[22400 Bc = the end of Sumer Civilization]



The starting point of the Exodus was the Sphinx,
because the Sphinx gazes precisely along the 38th parallel towards the space port. mount sinai.



Western wall of Jerusalem, was the landing place of Gilgamesh,


Sign of Cross, 1000 BC, Sumerian Sign, Symbolism of Nibiru.


Orbit of Nibiru, 3600 years.


The Day of the Lord.


2012 when Nibiru is exptected to return.
Last time when Nibiru was near earth was 556 BC.


He said, it is written 'i'll return, i promise i'll return.'


Isaac Newton, hand written document,
Isaac newton calculated the end days 2160 AD.


"How could any immortal Summeriant not only measure the delay of one degree (of earth tilt) in 72 years, but of 30 degrees of shift fron one zodiac house to another in 2160 years.
And the answer is the again this is the Anunnaki, Anunnaki device not the Sumerian device.


Return of the Anunnaki is in Age of Pisces. (which is this century)

Armageddon:, Pisces is designed at the floor of 1st church of holy land.
