Unsolved mysteries..

[Walking Circles]

The moon landing conspiracy theory gets me. I honestly don't know what to believe either way, there's a lot of oddities around the whole thing. However that may just be attributable to cold war secrecy levels. Then again it's odd that the Soviet's were giving us a hiding in the space race then.. BAM MOON LANDING FTW! However I also have known people who I believe to be honest that said they worked in minor positions on that program so.. who knows?

Another one that interests me is abiotic oil theory. It's this theory that a portion of the oil deposits on the planet were created by some sort of geological process alone with little or no input from living matter and that some of these deposits refill on a reasonable time table. People have speculated that since the 1890's but there was some interesting work done by a joint venture of Russian and Ukrainian scientists in 1994.

( I copied and pasted the following from my own web site. Just some of the things people pick up on about the moon landings. Not the normal things most people come out with )

There is something wrong with US mission to the Moon. The legendary space mission is still shrouded in mystery. Mankind still has a number of reasons to cast doubt on the miracle of inter-planetary flights. Many people still say that US astronauts have never landed on the Moon.

Japan’s Kaguya lunar orbiter took several pictures of the site, where Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 supposedly landed in 1971 and 1972. If the astronauts had ever landed there, they should have left a lot of equipment on the site, including the rovers, on which they traveled on the surface of the Earth’s satellite. The pictures, which the Japanese rover took, showed not even the slightest hint of the US presence on the Moon. There was only a spot of dust seen on the photograph of the site, from which Apollo-15 blasted off on its journey back to Earth. The spot, NASA said, was a firm evidence of Apollo’s presence on the Moon.

It is an open secret that the Moon’s entire surface is all covered with a thick layer of dust. US astronauts took many pictures of their shoeprints on the Moon’s surface. Joseph Skipper, a researcher of lunar and Martian anomalies, has many questions about the evidence, which the lunar dust provides. A number of images, made by the US astronauts showed their lunar rover standing at a distance from the landing module. There can be no wheel tracks seen on the pictures – as if the rover had flown from the lander to the site where it was photographed.

One may assume that the lunar ground was too hard for the wheel tracks to appear in it. However, there are many shoeprints in the dust around the rover. They can be seen even underneath the rover, although there are no wheel tracks on the ground at all.

Many people say that the US astronauts have never landed on the moon and that the entire mission is a fake. Others say that the missions took place, although the astronauts did not land on the Moon every time they traveled there. They could probably exaggerate their success to baffle the USA ’s major rival in the space race - the USSR. It is not ruled out, though, that the discovered anomalies can be explained. They can be probably connected with certain peculiarities of the lunar dust and its interaction with electrostatic charges. However, serious scientists prefer not to throw too much light on the subject.

chuckle.. who knows, maybe that is what they're hoping for..

I have a Bigfoot theory I wanna submit to you (et al). I don't believe there is a Bigfoot or Yeti, etc. But it is hard to ignore the recurrence of it thru different cultures. I think Bigfoot is some kind of universal, buried memory of Neanderthals, or another missing link, etc. Different cultures spread around the globe, share this collective memory, and project it from time to time in the form of Bigfoot and Yeti "sightings". The sightings are more of an internal, subjective experience, than an objective witnessing tho..

Mass hysteria! You see it in football matches where the old tribal instinct comes into play. The sad part is that it can be a prelude to more serious tribal war. It can be in any competitive sport. Tens of thousands of people shouting and waving arms for 22 men kicking a bag of wind into a net. Looked at logically it is ridiculous. OK, so many watch it and get some form of enjoyment from it. It is also a massive detraction from all the ills in the world. Maybe the emotion generated is an outlet for all that negative energy, in which case it is helpful.
I am not against sport at all, provided it is played for pleasure and not a great desire to win. Tens of thousands of pounds/dollars are paid to the individuals who provide this so called sport. Flag waving and beating up your opponent is not sport. A philosopher once said that religion was the opiate of the masses. That is no longer true because it has been superseded by sport. Anything to take our minds off the chaos in the world, which means we are less able to take any real action.

Very good post. I believe sports are a (mostly) healthy way to sublimate our warlike urges. It's better to be battling in a football or soccer game than on a battlefield, no?..

To your other point, I'm a big sports fan.. but it is bizarre how attached some fans become to pro sports teams. The face-painted, maniacal morons you see at (American) football games. It is absolutely an unfortunate form of pseudo-religion, even down to it's traditional Sunday sabbath. Sports fandom is fun, but it is sad if it replaces political & spiritual consciousness.

Anyways, I appreciate your thoughts/insights.

For a moment there I thought you're going to be talking about unsolved mysteries the 80's show lol
I was excited.
A great mystery is what happened to Roanoke Colony?
And what about dragons? I believe they may possibly be dinosaurs that lived at the time of man.

 

[Cheyworship]

I believe that Atlantis was a real place at one point in time, I also am really fascinated by the Aryan race Antarctica/Hollow earth theories. Anything Robert Sepher talks about basically, like prehistoric nuclear war or the German Flying Saucers in WW2. These make me sound like a crazy person lol. Books by Joesph P. Farrell are really good when it comes to these topics, my favourite is “Hess and the Penguins”

Lots of hollow Earth theories. But below is the deepest hole known. But if you look even in New York, you will find a kind of postal system that runs under ground. They used to send things via tubes. You can easily look that one up. We also have a few underground cities. Is one in Scotland in the UK. People did live there. But it was not as deep as you would imagine. There are tours of the place that still go on. As people think it is haunted.




What is the Kola Borehole deeper than?
Basically everything but here are some impressively large things that it beats in size...

• The Kola Borehole is 40,230 feet deep making it the deepest man made point on Earth
• That makes it much longer than the UK's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, which stands at 4,409 feet
• The shard is only 1020 feet tall to its tip
• The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and is 2,717 feet high
• The Kola Borehole is also further down that the wreck of the Titanic, which is 12,500 feet down in the ocean
• However, the Z-44 Chayvo well is now the longest man made hole in the world but the Kola Superdeep Borehole is technically still deeper due to postioning

Worth adding in that Japan is trying to create and even deeper hole into the Earth.

This ^ is pretty close to my take on dragons.. I believe as more primitive people discovered dinosaur bones thru the generations.. it prompted them to imagine dragons. The skeletons of dinosaurs do resemble dragon-like creatures. And the bones would've been discovered in bits and pieces, but not assembled in whole.. so I think those scattered bits left a lot to early imaginations, resulting in global conceptions of monstrous dragons(?)

Re: 'Unsolved Mysteries', a couple streaming services carry the early episodes. Still fun to watch..

The stegosaurus was a whooping 30 feet in length. Imagine finding a skeleton of that Dinosaur? This is what might have happened in Ancient China. Stumble upon one of those and the whole Dragon culture evolves. There was also some other very large animals out there. The Nile Crocodile was also big. Not as big as the Stegosarus. But big enough to make you wonder what you just found if you did dig up a skeleton of one. I know in Australia they had a creature called the Goanna. Various cultures going out about finding these big skeletons. Creating new myths. Of what they thought these animals would have been like.

I could give you a good rundown of the dinosaurs if interested.
