“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
Methinks that the life and works of Thor deserve a closer look. For myself – his Ra, Ra II and Tigris boats are extremely interesting! Tigris Heyerdahl built yet another reed boat, Tigris, which was intended to demonstrate that trade and migration could have linked Mesopotamia with the Indus Valley Civilization in what is now Pakistan and western India. Tigris was […]
I happened to pass by something commenting somewhere and noticed that – all of a sudden – we have Basque HEXPERTS on yt now (?) Check out the name above. Compare it to a “Swastika” and the four leaved clover and the Cathar Cross. Oooooops. Clueage to the know it ALL HEXPERT ? ? ? […]
Wiki : Melquart And, just in case you couldn’t be bothered to read the above…. I quote : A Carthaginian Shekel dated 237–227 BC, depicting the Punic god Melqart (identified with Hercules/Heracles) Likewise. From NC : By the way, in regards to the LION’S SKIN which ‘Hercules was lying on’. Let us remember that John the Baptist […]
I mixed up my Mistresses here :o( I was going to link the above to someone called Camilla, now married to someone called Charlie. I got the Edward VII right, but exchanged Lillie for Alice Keppel. Easy mistaka to maka ? All the same old, same old FARCE (?) Bits on The Side OMG. Edward […]
My last post came from pure frustration. Sometimes research affects one that way. I’m dealing with (as said before) two timelines. And two females. One called Kiya (or maybe a different name) and one called Maria. All that either of them did was marry a King after the death of his first wife….and then give […]
One of the eldest daughters that I’m looking into had the title Porphyrogenita. At the time of her birth this was a sacred title. It means “born in the purple” or the legitimate heir to a ruler. Despite others’ convictions that Tyrian/Imperial purple is a sign of Pure Evil, it was not. The only reason […]
I’m working on a double time-line, right now that is 2,500 years apart yet EXACTLY the same story. There was a King who married twice. His first born child and rightful heir was a female. First wife dies, second wife has the King’s son. King dies. Eldest daughter/rightful heir and her husband suddenly disappear from […]
Watching Eddi (again) just now reminded me of Mrs McGinty and the reason why I’ve NEVER liked lipstick. Apart from the fact that I know the history behind it and…my Mad AF hair tends to stick to it. Not an attractive look :o( Oooops. Did I give away a wee clue there? #TMI for a […]
Many years ago I researched and wrote a short novel titled Veritas. It centred around Paris, 17th century, the #first theatre there, their pre-police police force and Louis XIII’s brand new (?) Jardin des Plantes. I never published. Veritas became such an over-used word. Which is not a crit of Sean. Just life in general […]
There are several reasons why I didn’t want to get too deep into this subject. But…..! OK. I have HUGE problems spelling all the names. I have HUGE problems with all the dates – no one can agree on anything, anywhere. I have HUGE problems with Nefertiti, mother of Meritaten and 5 other daughters…or so […]
