The man who found this tomb chose not to open the jars.
Ernesto Schiaparelli excavated TT8 at Deir el-Medina in 1906, the intact burial of the foreman Kha and his wife Merit, laid down around 1400 BC and so roughly 3,400 years old. He removed more than 500 objects and deliberately left most of the sealed vessels untouched.
In 2022 a research team read the contents of fifty of them using mass spectrometry on the air escaping the seals. They identified what was inside without opening a single one, 116 years after the tomb was emptied.

Look at the eyes.
In 2018 a genome study of 22 individuals from a Chalcolithic burial cave in Israel found a high frequency of the blue-eye variant, a trait that had been rare in the Levant and arrived with migration from Anatolia and the Zagros.
The culture that carved this figurine around 4000 BC included a great many blue-eyed people, which makes the inlay look less like decoration and more like observation.
The same study found something else. An abrupt demographic change in the region around 6,000 years ago.
That matches the archaeology, where this culture stops rather than develops. The ivory, the copper, the underground villages, all of it belongs to a window that closes without warning.

🚨 Texas is putting a stop to new data center projects — including Elon Musk’s.
Gina Hinojosa, who won the race for Texas governor this week, says data center approvals should stay frozen until the Legislature passes "real protections so Texans can have a seat at the table to decide if and how data centers come into their communities."
In a video posted in October, she promised that as governor she would issue "a moratorium — a ban — on all data center approvals until laws can be passed."
Her plan would make operators prove that households won't pay more for electricity or water, end state subsidies for the industry, ban the nondisclosure agreements that keep projects secret, and require union labor.
The stakes are enormous.
According to The Information, by July 2026, SpaceXAI had investigated a number of potential sites for a large scale data center in Texas, which could match or surpass its two existing data centers in the Memphis area that have an estimated one gigawatt of combined compute capacity.
Now, it looks like that will be paused.
Texas has about 296 operating data centers and 170 more planned, according to Pew Research Center, and the governor's office says the state grid operator is weighing connection requests of more than 474 gigawatts, over five times Texas's record peak demand, with roughly 90% of it from data centers. Outgoing Gov. Greg Abbott already began pausing approvals in August while regulators audit the grid and water supplies, so Hinojosa's pledge would keep that freeze going rather than start a new one.
Hinojosa takes office on January 19, and any lasting protections depend on what the Legislature passes after it meets in January. Either way, the question of who pays for the AI boom's power and water is now front and center in the country's second-biggest data center state.

Rudolf Steiner on the importance of meditation, concentration and how to prepare the soul in waking life.
We tend to think of sleep as nothing. We close our eyes, and upon entering our sleep we slip from consciousness and everything goes dark. However, something real happens in that gap. Each night the soul leaves the body, but for most of us it goes out without our knowing. It has no organs to perceive the world it enters, so we come back with nothing.
(Some people wake up during this process by accident. This is known as Astral Projection.)
At most we return from sleep with confusion and after-images from our dreams, small glimpses lingering from our sleep. They are all over the place and don't make sense. However, sometimes they feel "meaningful" or leave you with strong impressions. This lack of knowing is what Steiner calls a lack of "continuity of consciousness."
But there are ways to train this faculty of consciousness.
"Meditation, concentration in waking life have after-effects on the astral body when it separates from the etheric and physical body in sleep. Such exercises work on the soul, so when the soul exits the physical body it will develop its own spiritual eyes and ears."
– The East in the Light of the West
This is where concentration comes in. When we fall asleep, the astral body carries the impressions forged in waking practice with it into the spiritual world, free of the senses. Intentional concentration brings order to the astral body. It places you at the centre of your desires and compulsions, rather than leaving you pulled around by them.
The first and most foundational exercise Steiner gives is "Control of Thought." Take an ordinary, dull object, like a pencil, and for a few minutes think only about it. What is it made of? Where did it come from? How was it designed? You've probably never really noticed. Bring your full consciousness into it, and hold it there as long as you can without drifting into daydreams or letting your thinking run on autopilot.
The point is to bring your will into your thinking. Practised daily, it orders your thinking, so your attention becomes something you direct, like a strong ray of light with pinpoint precision, rather than something that happens to you. And that steadiness carries into everything else you want to give your utmost focus to.
In my experience, this practice bleeds into meditation, which many find hard at first without any prior experience. When meditating, one has to see oneself in a different light, almost from a third-person point of view. As Steiner puts it in How to Know Higher Worlds, we should learn to look at our own sufferings and joys the way a stranger would look at someone else's.
This means developing an observer towards our own thinking. For example, it is not "I am feeling sad." It's "Tom is feeling sad."
We make this distinction between “I” and our name, which I would call our “Outer-Personality,” because we begin to see that thoughts flow into us. They are not really our thoughts, and they are not of our choosing. Making the distinction cultivates our inner observer. Observing how these thoughts come, without identifying with them, is the key to developing our middle, our centre. From this point we can begin to awaken to the illusions that have been ruling us, and to see the difference between our outer life and our inner life. You will see this once you find your silence.
Of course, this isn't easy. Steiner, who wrote down this modern path, said that even those who can barely find the time need only about five minutes a day, though the longer the better. These exercises are not a way of detaching from the world. Through inner experience and strength, they should strengthen our outer experiences and give us the power to complete our mission on Earth.
This also develops our courage and fearlessness. Even through turbulent times, one must always remember to view one's own suffering as one would view a stranger's. (We always see another’s suffering differently from how we experience our own.)
I would extend this to Steiner's "Rückschau", the "Backwards Review" or "Daily Review." In the evening, before you sleep, go through your day in reverse order, from that moment all the way back to when you first woke up. It's almost like walking through a mirror of your day. Within this flipped perception, the world can be seen differently.
This is why the review matters. Steiner taught that in sleep the soul lives back through the day in reverse, and after death through the whole of life in reverse. The Backwards Review lets us practise consciously what the soul already does.
Waking Life - Forward
Sleeping Life - Backwards
Life - Forward
After-Life - Backwards
In that sense, it is a preparation for death.

She was browsing old bookstalls in Paris when she found her favorite childhood book. She bought it for a franc. Then her husband opened the cover and went pale. Inside was her name and childhood address—written in her own handwriting...
In the summer of 1929, American novelist Anne Parrish was strolling along the Seine in Paris with her husband, Charles Albert Corliss, browsing the famous secondhand bookstalls known as bouquinistes. As a lifelong book lover, Anne enjoyed searching through the dusty shelves when a worn children's book suddenly caught her eye: Jack Frost and Other Stories. It had been one of her favorite books as a child growing up in Colorado Springs. Delighted by the unexpected find, she bought it for a single franc.
Her husband was amused by her excitement and asked what she remembered about the book. Anne recalled a story inside about a girl named Dorothy who disliked her nose. Curious, Charles flipped through the pages and quickly found the very story she described. As he continued turning the pages, something else caught his attention: a handwritten name and address on the flyleaf.
To their astonishment, the inscription read: "Anne Parrish, 209 N. Weber Street, Colorado Springs." Against all odds, the book Anne had just purchased from a Paris bookstall was her own childhood copy, lost decades earlier and somehow transported across an ocean before finding its way back to its original owner. What began as a nostalgic purchase became one of the most remarkable literary coincidences ever recorded.
The story became famous largely because journalist and critic Alexander Woollcott retold it in his 1932 New Yorker piece, Reunion in Paris. Without his account, Anne Parrish's astonishing discovery might have remained a private anecdote. Woollcott's retelling helped turn the incident into one of history's most celebrated examples of an extraordinary coincidence, ensuring that the tale continued to be shared long after the chance reunion between a woman and her long-lost childhood book.

Martin, le premier nom de famille de France, vient d'un soldat romain mort le 8 novembre 397. Plus de 230 communes portent encore son nom.
Et le mot « chapelle » vient de son manteau.
Il naît au IVe siècle en Pannonie, dans l'actuelle Hongrie.
Son père est officier dans l'armée romaine. À 15 ans, Martin est obligé de s'engager dans la cavalerie.
On l'envoie en Gaule, le territoire de la France actuelle.
Un soir d'hiver, aux portes d'Amiens, il croise un pauvre presque nu, qui grelotte.
Martin n'a rien d'autre à donner que son manteau de soldat. Il le coupe en deux et lui en tend la moitié.
La nuit suivante, il voit en rêve le Christ, vêtu de cette moitié de manteau. Il se fait baptiser.
Il quitte l'armée et devient moine à Ligugé, près de Poitiers.
En 371, les habitants de Tours viennent l'y chercher par une ruse. Ils veulent en faire leur évêque.
Il parcourt les campagnes de Gaule pour convertir les paysans.
Le 8 novembre 397, il meurt à Candes, au bord de la Loire, où il était venu régler une dispute.
Les moines du Poitou veulent garder son corps. Ceux de Tours l'emportent en pleine nuit, par une fenêtre, raconte la tradition.
Il est enterré à Tours le 11 novembre.
La moitié de manteau qui lui reste devient une relique. On la garde dans un petit sanctuaire, la « capella », le petit manteau.
C'est l'origine du mot chapelle. Et du mot chapelain, le prêtre qui la garde.
Son culte gagne toute la Gaule. Des milliers d'églises lui sont dédiées.
Les parents donnent son nom à leurs enfants. Le prénom devient un nom de famille.
Martin est devenu le nom le plus porté en France.
Chaque 11 novembre, la France commémore l'armistice de 1918. C'est aussi, depuis seize siècles, le jour de la Saint-Martin.

A Perfect Circle in Solid Rock... Who Made It?
Hidden deep within a remote mountain wilderness, this enormous rock face holds a mystery that has left many people asking the same question: How was this made?
Carved into the dark limestone is a giant, almost perfectly circular depression measuring nearly 10 feet (3 meters) across. Even more puzzling, a second, smaller circle sits neatly inside the first, creating a level of symmetry that seems almost impossible for such a rugged location.
No one knows exactly when it was created. Some believe it could be connected to ancient rituals or sacred geometry from thousands of years ago. Others wonder if it was used as a celestial marker, carefully aligned with the movements of the Sun or stars. There are even those who suggest it may be the forgotten work of a civilization whose knowledge has long been lost.
What makes this formation so fascinating isn't just its size—it's the remarkable precision. The circles appear incredibly smooth and carefully shaped, standing in striking contrast to the rough, untouched mountain around them. Looking at it, it's hard not to wonder what kind of tools—or skills—were needed to carve something so exact into solid stone.
Was it created for a practical purpose? A sacred ceremony? Or is there a simpler geological explanation that we still don't fully understand?
Sometimes the greatest mysteries aren't hidden beneath the ground—they're standing in plain sight, waiting for someone to ask the right question.
What do you think you're looking at?

The way I see it, Anna is pointing towards something far deeper, more ultra terrestrial than extra-terrestrial. I feel we've been conditioned to accept a version of reality without really questioning what's beyond it. The cave represents our limited consciousness, the screen is the illusion we've become comfortable with, and the sunlight symbolises truth and spiritual awakening. I've long felt there's far more to our existence than our physical senses allow us to perceive. So maybe the greatest prison isn't the illusion itself, but our belief that there's nothing beyond what we've been shown. Food for thought. #uapx #conciousness #ufotwitter

SCIENTISTS ARE FREEZING TUMORS WITH ICE — WITHOUT OPEN SURGERY!
At Liverpool Hospital, specialists are using advanced MRI-guided cryoablation to freeze and destroy tumors. A tiny needle delivers extremely cold gas directly into the tumor, creating a ball of ice that kills the targeted cells. Meanwhile, MRI scans allow doctors to watch the freezing process in real time and carefully protect nearby healthy tissues.
The results are already giving patients hope. One 64-year-old grandmother, Josephine Cordina, had been suffering from severe back pain caused by a small spinal tumor. After the procedure, she reported that her pain had disappeared by the following day.
The technology can also help treat selected tumors in organs such as the liver and kidneys. And because it requires only a small skin puncture, recovery can be much quicker than with major surgery.

🛸 Trump: I Haven't Seen Any Evidence for, or Heard About, Any Secret UFO Program, But I'm Gonna Find Out 🛸
(Full Transcript, and I'll add some analysis later.)
@Douthat60 Voicever: "We asked the president about one of his more unusual flexes of presidential power, on a subject that's captured the public imagination."
Douthat on Camera: "Your administration, alone among modern administrations, has spent a lot of time releasing footage of UFOs."
Trump: "Yeah."
Douthat: "Unidentified Flying Objects. Is there anything that you have seen, or heard about, or been told about, that would lead you to think that there's something more there than just, we're having a good time looking at things in the sky?"
Trump: "It's so amazing that you ask this question because it is one of the questions, in private, I get asked about. More people ask me about UFOs than. I mean..."
Douthat: "I believe it."
Trump: "People that you wouldn't think."
Douthat: "So what's the answer?"
Trump: "So here's the story. I'm not too much of a believer, but I sat in the Oval Office - first term and a little bit second term - meeting with Air Force pilots that are really good, solid people. These are not people that you would say are conspiracy theorists, but they're great, great pilots. They're the real deal,
"And they've told me things that are very strange...in certain cases. They said, 'Yes, there's something going on out there.' Because they're flying an F-22, which is the best there is, the fastest, the best plane that anyone's ever seen, and something goes by them at three times their speed, and it's round. It's not aerodynamic. It's round."
Douthat: "So that's the mystery. But then along with those pilots, there's a set of people who have styled themselves as whistleblowers, who have come out and said, 'Actually, there's also a secret program that even presidents don't know about to study this stuff. Have you seen any evidence that that is the case?"
Trump: "No, and I haven't heard that, but if there is, I'm gonna find out about it right after this interview."
(Remember, Dr. Eric Davis told us Stratton briefed Trump during his first term but crash retrievals were not discussed. Has Trump EVER been briefed about crash retrievals? @jaystratton said Trump is being shielded from certain UFO information.)

🚨 What if the Big Bang was not the beginning of everything, but simply the beginning of another chapter in an endless cosmic cycle?
One of the most fascinating ideas in theoretical cosmology suggests that our universe might not exist just once. Instead, it could pass through repeated phases of expansion, transformation, and rebirth.
This concept is known as cyclic cosmology. Unlike the conventional picture of a universe expanding from an extremely hot, dense early state, cyclic models explore whether cosmic history could extend through multiple eras, potentially without an absolute beginning.
Some versions propose that the universe eventually stops expanding and begins contracting. As everything becomes increasingly compressed, a process called a cosmic bounce could replace a final collapse with another period of expansion.
Other models suggest that the universe might continue expanding forever while still giving rise to new cosmic cycles.
Physicist Roger Penrose proposed one particularly interesting version called conformal cyclic cosmology. In this model, the extremely distant future of one universe could be mathematically connected to the Big Bang of another.
Another approach, developed by Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok, explores repeated cosmic cycles involving periods of expansion and contraction.
These ideas attempt to address some of cosmology’s deepest questions, including what preceded the Big Bang and whether time itself has a beginning.
However, cyclic cosmology remains theoretical. Scientists have not established observational evidence that our universe experienced an earlier cycle.
Current observations show that cosmic expansion is accelerating, making a future collapse unlikely under the simplest cosmological model.
The possibility remains extraordinary: everything we observe, from galaxies to the atoms in our bodies, might belong to just one chapter of a much longer cosmic history.
Perhaps the universe has a beginning and an end. Or perhaps what we call the beginning is simply where our ability to observe the past runs out.
