| Discovering Atlantis |
| 2007-08-06 13:42:41 |
Atlantis is a legendary island in the Atlantic, west of Gibraltar, that sunk beneath the sea during a violent eruption of earthquakes and floods some 9,000 years before Plato wrote about it in his Timaeus and Critias. In a discussion of utopian societies, Plato claims that Egyptian priests told Solon about Atlantis. Plato was not describing a real place any more than his allegory of the cave describes a real cave. The purpose of Atlantis is to express a moral message in a discussion of ideal societies, a favorite theme of his. The fact that nobody in Greece for 9,000 years had mentioned a battle between Athens and Atlantis should serve as a clue that Plato was not talking about a real place or battle. Nevertheless, Pla...

| Witchcraft |
| 2007-07-31 15:11:46 |
Are they good? Are they evil? Do they cast spells to cause bad things to happen? The true definition of a witch, as well as the history of witches in general, is widely debated. Many texts describe witchcraft as pacts with the Devil in exchange for powers to do evil and harm others. While this may have some truth in certain sects, for most modern-day witches it is quite far from their actual beliefs and practices. Belief in magic and witchcraft has been around since the beginning of time. Early man paid tribute to the gods and goddesses that ruled his world and brought healthy crops and mild winters. The idea of magic came about when things weren't so good: It grew from the chaos that accompanied bad weather, sickness and shortages of food. When times...

| History of the Vampires |
| 2007-07-31 10:10:25 |
The history of the vampire begins In ancient Persia, where a vase was discovered depicting a man struggling with a huge creature which is trying to suck his blood. Then, in Babylonian myth a deity known for drinking the blood of babies, Lilitu or "Lilith", was discovered. She was reputedly the first wife of Adam according to old Hebrew texts removed from the Old Testament, and left her husband due to his sexual ineptitude, becoming the Queen of Demons and Evil spirits. In China during the 6th century BC, traces of the "Living Dead", or revenants as they are known, were also found. More legends continued throughout all the world, including India, Malaysia, Polynesia and the lands of the Aztecs and Eskimos. According to the Aztecs, the offering of...

Before the existence of a human form on earth, it is said that there is an existence of other life form in the galaxy. Galaxy has been comprises of Billions of counts in the entire Universe. Just imagine how big the galaxy was and thus the Universe could have been limitless in wide. On the other hand, every galaxy could contain a life form other than the human beings, and these are we known as Extra Terrestrials or Aliens. Many astronomers and some famous researcher believed on their existence and they were claiming that the life of an ET or an Alien more advance than ours.

| Hydra |
| 2007-07-27 09:27:32 |
In Greek mythology, the Lernaean Hydra (Greek: Λερναία Ὕδρα) was an ancient nameless serpent-like chthonic water beast that possessed numerous heads— the poets mention more heads than the vase-painters could paint— and poisonous breath (Hyginus, 30). The Hydra of Lerna was killed by Heracles as one of his Twelve Labours. Its lair was the lake of Lerna in the Argolid, though archaeology has borne out the myth that the sacred site was older even than the Mycenaean city of Argos, for Lerna was the site of the myth of the Danaids. Beneath the waters was an entrance to the Underworld, and the Hydra was its guardian.The Hydra was the offspring of Typhon and Echidna (Theogony, 313), noisome offspring of the earth goddess, Gaia. It was said to be the sibling of the Nemean Lion, the...

| Life in the Abyss |
| 2007-07-27 09:20:36 |
Beneath the Ocean floor there are a lot of diversified creatures spreading on the whole three-fourth (¾) parts of the earth, and it’s the Ocean, a very huge component of the mother Earth. How can we say that all of the creatures under the Ocean have seen by all of us? Neither the expert marines nor professionals in the field of aquatic research have seen all of the creatures in the sea. On the other hand, due to the intelligence and perseverance of some people on this field, few of the amazing sea creatures found. I was very stunned the way they discover new things and I consider this as one of my fulfillment. Thanks to them.Talk about all mouth. Eurypharynx pelecanoides, known colloquially as the "umbrellamouth gulper," throws wide its loosely hinged jaws and balloons out its mouth to ...

| Bermuda Triangle |
| 2007-07-27 09:14:55 |
The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name and does not maintain an official file on the area.The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.In the past, extensive, but futile Coast Guard searches prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearances of an entire squadron of TBM Avengers shortly after take off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., or the traceless sinking of USS Cyclops and Marine Sulphur Queen have lent credence to the...

| TIKBALANG |
| 2007-07-27 09:12:44 |
An untrusting skittishness is prevalent among the communites surrounding the mountainous regions of the King Filipinas archipelago. The skewed, furtive glances exchanged when family members ask to be accompanied somewhere are a habit formed from fear of the Tikbalang. Often eerily mimicking the appearance of victims' relatives, this forest spirit will lead lone people out to the heavily wooded depths of the mountain ranges, occasionally breaking the increasingly uncomfortable silence with short bursts of reassurement, and stilted gratitude for the assistance. The suddenly pungent aroma of tobacco and drunken swaying motion adopted by the false family member is noticed before their face blurs into something that resembles more that of a horse's than a human's. Delirious town folk who have s...

| Black Hole |
| 2007-07-27 09:11:49 |
A black hole is an object with a gravi tational field so powerful that a region of space becomes cut off from the rest of the universe – no matter or radiation, including visible light, that has entered the region can ever escape. The lack of escaping electromagnetic radiation renders the inside of black holes (beyond the event horizon) invisible, hence the name. However, black holes can be detectable if they interact with matter, e.g. by sucking in gas from an orbiting star. The gas spirals inward, heating up to very high temperatures and emitting large amounts of light, X-rays and Gamma rays in the process while still outside of the event horizon.[2][3][4] Black holes are also thought to emit a weak form of thermal energy called Hawking radiation.[5][6][7] While the idea of an...

| MERMAIDS: Are they REAL? |
| 2007-07-27 09:08:38 |
Many people were known of the myths story about Mermaids, these are the creatures that were said to be living in the dark deepest part of the sea where nobody can reach and disturb them. The Mermaids were characterized as a half human and a half fish in form. As part of my fascination of knowing amazing and yet hard to discover things I would like to show you some of the evidences that the “Mermaids” could be existing. The pictures you were about to see were took in Cebu, Philippines and the said Mermaids (displayed below) were said to be found by the people working near the shore. ...
