Alabaster Window

I have been here and seen this with my own eyes. The window is amazing. The alabaster shaved so thin that sunlight pours into the Basilica. Hidden Antiquitech, much? Can we do this now? I have no idea.

Castel Sant’Angelo

I did a guided tour of the Vatican but there wasn’t enough time to go to the Castel, just down the road. Which was quite annoying because Giordano Bruno – my fave Italian – was imprisoned there. Anyhoo – look at the image above. Vatican vs Batu Khan. Batu Khan was the brother of Genghis […]

Palatine Hill, Rome

I was given a reminder of this place yesterday. Something to do with sunburn! But we have lovely cooling rain today. Palatine Hill is about a 5 minute walk from The Coliseum in Rome, past the Arch of Constantine and across the road. So me and girly decided to take a look. It’s a wonderfully […]

Isaak Asimov/Shakespeare/A Sore Thumb

The Quality of Mercy. In order to prove a date, I’m chasing a colour. The trouble is – I don’t know which colour! But I’ve a very strong feeling that the answer lies with the 16th (or maybe 17th) century Venetian artists. This line of thought took me to Shakespeare (The Merchant of Venice) which […]

BWT : Exploring a REAL Ghost Town

Monday, 22 March 2021, 17:50.Reading time 1 minute.

REAL GHOST TOWN? Yes. A town that once had people living there. NOT a fake Ghost Town. Built for FAKE people :o) I’m so embarrassed by the BS content put out nowadays by the “truth community.” Egg shaped starforts in water around 1850 in America with grid lines on an FE map ? C’mon. Get […]

G Ramsay is one f/ugly man. G D’Acampo is freaking gorgeous. In my humble opinion. Here. At home we have 3 outta 4 who adore chorizo and 2 outta 4 who adore Avocado. Tequila is disgusting! WTF? You learn something new every single day. Caesar Salad was invented in Tijuana? I DID NOT KNOW that. […]

Seagulls on the Tiber

When me and she got off the plane at Rome and into a taxi to take us to the city – neither of us noticed just how young and lovely our driver was. Cough. Mumble. I might’ve been slightly distracted (!) Later – when I got a grip and took out my notebook…the very first […]

Meanwhile : Back in Perugia

There is a school of thought being taught right now that fountains ARE ancient “TARTARIAN” Free Energy devices. They may well be. I don’t know. But some fountains are something quite different. I’d love to say that I have a FULL explaination of all the finer details in the image above. But I don’t. FACT! […]

The Labours of Months

Friday, 9 October 2020, 11:40.Reading time 2 minutes.

For centuries everyone knew the Labour of Months. Even those who did not work the land. This was as common as common knowledge can get and depicted in art everywhere. January — Feasting; exchanging gifts on New Year’s. Often there’s an allusion to Janus, the god of doors, with two or three heads facing in different directions, […]

Omphalos

I’m trying to get my head around THIS link! Omphalos I did NOT find it at #Wiki but whilst researching a fountain in Italy. But I cite the Wiki article for this sentence alone – In Greek lore, Zeus sent two eagles across the world to meet at its centre, the “navel” of the world.[1] TWO Eagles? BTW. […]
