BEYOND BORDERS

I simply want to say here as a beautiful and formidable introduction that rises like flames from the soul about beautiful stories that I have concretized here for everyone to see and know about the biggest and best mysteries that are hidden in life because life is a sounding board that perhaps she was born to show everyone and make them better acquainted with life from ancient times until today that we tell several stories of various events that took place in man's life that perhaps he can believe in god and that god is simply something good concerning the laws that govern true life through a very clairvoyant act that made me understand all the relationships between man and life and that our ancestors have always guided us to understand all the charms that the ancient world might want to tell us and show us and that The mere circumstances of the man who has always looked for an explanation and reason in life to not fear death, perhaps to better worship life, which is simply enchanted and mysterious, and that we can say that the world is a vibrational set that makes us more will always be real. creative and intelligent people for life and I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart in which I show many stories of great writers and researchers who gave the best of their lives to the studies of

mysteries and I want to thank and say that I created this beautiful context as a fullness of my express better and talk about things that live or have lived in other dimensions because I think that life doesn't stop and it simply just wants to show us and tell us where the hidden affections of the truth really live that perhaps God kept like an ark to prove how the life and how everything was and began because certainly somewhere there have already lived several things that no one has seen because they were in fact ancient things that simply remained as answers to our countless doubts like large markings of writing and drawings engraved on the stones and in the earth to show to the man of today that everything is possible and we can still believe in a new era and we must look at the world in another way because perhaps somewhere like these we will also leave our references and works to also be part of a history that we will certainly be recorded by power of love, health and education as great stars that we will never be forgotten and that we will simply be remembered forever as a star god and may God protect us forever and thank you.

I want to talk here about several writers and researchers of great mysteries that populated life and I want to talk here a little about a great writer who showed his talent, love and work and I'm going to tell here now the story of a great writer called Sergio O Russian. Hugs!

Sergio O Russo

Sérgio O. Russo was a Brazilian writer from Rio de Janeiro, researcher of the Fantastic Realism genre and considered a reference in the genre.

He wrote along the lines of writers such as Charles Berlitz, Robert Charroux and Jacques Bergier. He is the author of a series of popular books in the 80s and 90s from the Fantastic Realism Collection published by Ediouro (Editora Tecnoprint). These books had popular appeal and were logically low in cost. According to himself on his personal page, he has been a researcher on the subject of “fantastic realism” for 35 years. He is the author of 10 books (7 printed works and 3 electronic books) on the subject.

The greatest of his works are now out of print.

He has written for several websites such as Sobrenatural. According to the author himself on a radio program, Debates Culturais na Rádio Livre that aired on December 25, 2010, each of his books sold around 300,000 copies in 10 years. He passed away on November 26, 2021.

Charles Frambach Berlitz (New York, United States, November 20, 1914 – Tamarac, Florida, December 18, 2003) was an American writer, linguist, polyglot, archaeologist and diver, author of The Languages of the World and The Bermuda Triangle , among others.

Life

Grandson of Maximilian Delphinus Berlitz, the founder of the Berlitz Language Schools, Charles was educated in four languages and came to master around thirty-two different languages, being considered at the time, by the People's Almanac, one of the fifteen greatest linguists in the world. He wrote books that became best-sellers, receiving the Dag Hammarskjöld award in the non-fiction writer category in 1976. He was a member of Mensa International, a society made up of people with a high IQ.

Charles dedicated himself not only to the study of languages, but also to researching still unexplained phenomena that occur in an oceanic area called the Bermuda Triangle, involving the disappearance of ships and crews. It was only after the publication of The Bermuda Triangle that the issue was reflected in the press and the events that occurred in that region became known in a more comprehensive way to the general public.

He graduated magna cum laude from Yale University, starting his professional life at the family language school, becoming one of its administrators, publishing several books on conversation in different languages for tourists, pocket dictionaries, among others, in addition to having worked on the development of language courses on cassette tapes. He married Valerie Seary in 1950. Charles also served for thirteen years with the United States Army Intelligence Service, serving his country in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He retired from the language school in 1967, after selling it to publishers Crowell, Collier & Macmillan.

Charles Berlitz passed away at the age of ninety at Tamarac University Hospital, Florida.

Juan José Benítez López (Pamplona, 7 September 1946), known as JJ Benítez, is a Spanish journalist and writer, famous for the series "Operation Trojan Horse".

Biography

In 1962, he began studying journalism at the University of Navarra, beginning his career as a journalist and special envoy in several Spanish newspapers, such as the periodical La Verdad de Murcia, Heraldo de Aragón or La Gaceta del Norte.

From 1972 onwards, he specialized in the UFO phenomenon, investigating cases in the Spanish Air Force. In 1975, he claimed to have participated in an appointment with aliens in the Chilca desert, in Peru, an event that marked his life and is portrayed in his first book, UFOs - SOS to Humanity. His research with the Holy Shroud

gave rise to a series of highly successful books (more than 6 million books sold, Operation Trojan Horse, about a United States Air Force operation that sends, through a time machine, people contemporary to the time of Jesus of Nazareth. Many claim that it is a plagiarism of The Urantia Book. Benítez, however, has always repudiated these accusations.

It has also produced television documentaries, conferences, press articles and interviews that address alleged UFO phenomena. In 1992, he directed a university course at El Escorial on extraterrestrial issues, generating controversy among the Spanish scientific community, who accused him of a complete lack of rigor and of being completely scientific for attributing extraterrestrial causes to phenomena previously explained without the need for alien interventions. .

Erich Anton Peter von Däniken (Zofingen, April 14, 1935) is a Swiss conspiracy theorist, writer and archaeologist and one of the founders of the AAS RA (Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association) world-renowned for writing the book Were the Astronaut Gods ? and for being one of the main creators of the Aliens of the Past series, which presents the idea that primitive man was visited by extraterrestrial beings since prehistoric times. Von Däniken is mainly responsible for popularizing the belief that we were visited by beings from other planets, described in several ancient books such as the Mahabharata, the Tibetan Kanchur, the Israeli Bible, the Arabic Quran and even in recently discovered

Papyri and obviously in literature and scriptures of the main religions and civilizations of humanity. Vön Daniken defines that ancient people were visited by alien beings from other planets, since more than 100 billion stars have been found in the Milky Way alone, several of which eventually have their respective exoplanets.

The ideas presented in his books are rejected by virtually all scientists and academics, who categorize his work as pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology and pseudoscience. Early in his career, he was convicted and served time on several counts of fraud or embezzlement, writing one of his books in prison.

About the author

Swiss Erich Von Däniken is the author of the book Were the Gods Astronauts? Chariots of the Gods? in English, which quickly became a bestseller in the United States, Europe and India. This book became famous in the 1970s for describing the hypothesis that the gods, described in the literature and scriptures of the main religions and civilizations, were in reality extraterrestrials who allegedly visited planet Earth in the past. According to von Däniken, the book has been translated into 32 languages, having sold more than 63 million copies.

Däniken became a co-founder of the Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA), and designed the Mystery Park amusement park in Interlaken, Switzerland, which opened for the first time on May 23 2003.

Early life

Von Däniken had a strict Catholic education and attended the Saint-Michel Catholic International School in Fribourg, Switzerland. During this time at school, Däniken rejected the church's interpretation of

the Bible and developed an interest in astronomy and the phenomena of flying saucers.

Writer Erich von Däniken

At age 19, von Däniken received a four-month suspended sentence for theft. Von Däniken left school and became an apprentice to a Swiss hotelier. After moving to Egypt, he was convicted of fraud and embezzlement.

He then became manager of the Hotel Rosenhügel in Davos, Switzerland, during which time he wrote the book Were the Gods Astronauts?, working on the manuscript overnight, after the guests had left. In December 1964, von Däniken wrote Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Did our ancestors receive a Visit from Space?") for the German-Canadian periodical Der Nordwesten. The book Were the Gods Astronauts? It was accepted for publication by a publisher in early 1967 and released in 1968.

In November 1968, von Däniken was arrested for fraud after falsifying hotel records and credit references with the aim of taking out loans worth $130,000.00 (at the time) over the course of twelve years. He used the money to travel abroad to research his book. Two years later, von Däniken was convicted of "repeated and continuous" embezzlement, fraud and forgery, with the court ruling that the writer had been living a "playboy" lifestyle. Von Däniken filed an appeal for nullity on the basis that his intentions were not malicious and the credit institutions had failed to adequately investigate his references. On February 13, 1970, von Däniken received a prison sentence of three and a half years and a fine of 3,000 francs. He served one year of his sentence before being released.

His first book, Were the Gods Astronauts? it was published at the same time as the trial, and sales allowed him to pay his debts and get

out of the hotel business. Von Däniken wrote his second book, Gods from Outer Space, while in prison.

Claims of extraterrestrial influence on Earth

In 1966, when Däniken was writing his first book, scientists Carl Sagan and IS Shklovskii wrote about the possibilities of the Ancient Astronaut Theory and the claims of extraterrestrial visits in one of the chapters of the book Intelligent Life in the Universe, giving some legitimacy to this idea. However, many of these ideas appeared quite differently in Däniken's books. Carl Sagan was always very critical of von Däniken:

That careless way of writing like that of von Däniken, whose main thesis is that our ancestors were dolls, being so popular is a comment on the gullibility and despair of our times. But the idea that beings from anywhere else would come to save us from ourselves is a very dangerous doctrine - similar to the quack doctor whose treatments prevent the client from seeking a competent doctor to help him and, who knows, perhaps cure the disease. .That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose main thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. But the idea that beings from elsewhere will save us from ourselves is a very dangerous doctrine - akin to that of the quack doctor whose ministrations prevent the patient from seeing a physician competent to help him and perhaps to cure his illness.

Carl Sagan, in the preface to The Space Gods Revealed.

Prior to Däniken's work, other writers presented ideas of extraterrestrial contact. Däniken does not refer to some, or even all, of these authors, even when making the same claims using identical or similar evidence.

I also hope the popularity of books like Were the Astronaut Gods? continue in schools and university logic courses, as a subject for classes on careless thinking. I know of no recent book as tangled in errors of logic and factual errors as von Däniken's works. I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.

Carl Sagan, in the preface to The Space Gods Revealed

Errors and omissions

Delhi's iron pillar, erected by Chandragupta II the Great

The Pillar of Delhi

In the book Were the Gods Astronauts? Däniken wrote about the existence of an iron pillar in Delhi, India, which does not rust and which would be evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial influence. Later, in his Playboy interview, when he was told that the column had signs of rust and that the construction method was well known, Däniken said that from the time he wrote the book he had become aware of investigations that had come to other conclusions and no longer considered this pillar a mystery.

Cave of the Tayos

In the book The Gold of the Gods, von Däniken wrote that he was guided through artificial tunnels in the caves under the Equator, Cueva de los Tayos, which contained gold, strange statues and a library with metal plates, which he considered it to be evidence of ancient space visitors. The man he said showed him these tunnels, Juan Moricz, told Der Spiegel that von Däniken's descriptions came from a long conversation and that the photos that were included in the book were "retouched." Von Däniken told Playboy that although

he saw the library and other locations he described, he ended up fabricating some of the events to give his book some interest.

Later, in 1978, he would have said that he was never in the cave illustrated in his book, instead he would have been in a "side entrance", he also said that he would have fabricated the entire descent into the cave. A geologist examined the area and found no underground system. Däniken also wrote about a collection of gold objects in the possession of a local priest, Father Crespi, who had special permission from the Vatican to carry out archaeological research. But the archaeologist reported to Der Spiegel that, although there were some pieces of gold, many were just imitations intended for tourists, and that Crespi had difficulty distinguishing bronze from brass.

Dzyan resorts

Dr. Samuel Rosenberg said that the Book of Dzyan, which contains the Stanzas of Dzyan, which von Däniken referenced, was "a 'fabrication' superimposed on a gigantic hoax perpetrated by Madame Blavatsky." He also says that the "Papyrus of Tulli", cited by von Däniken in one of his books, is probably constructed from the Book of Ezekiel, and cited Dr. Nolli (by Dr. Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Rome), at the time the Director of the Egyptian Section of the Vatican Museum, as "suspecting that Tulli was taken there and that the papyrus was fake". In the opinion of Richard R. Lingerman of the New York Times, it is likely that von Däniken obtained these UFO book references that mentioned these documents as being real.

The Monkey, Lines and Geoglyphs of Nasca and the Pampas of Jumana, UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Photograph taken by Maria Reiche (1953).

Nasca Lines

Von Däniken brought the Nasca Lines to light with his 1968 book, Were the Gods Astronauts? it attracted so many tourists that researcher Maria Reiche had to spend a lot of her time and money to preserve them. Von Däniken said the lines were built following instructions from extraterrestrial beings. In his 1998 book, Arrival of The Gods, he added that some of the photographs depicted aliens. Archaeologists are certain that the lines were created by pre-Columbian civilizations for cultural purposes and have not even bothered to refute this type of speculation. Silverman and Proulx say this silence on the part of archaeologists has harmed the profession as well as the Peruvian nation. This idea was not originally von Däniken's, it started as a joke created by the first people who saw the lines from the air, and which had already been published by other people. One of the photographs presented in the book Were the Gods Astronauts? which von Däniken referred to as being similar to the marks visible in modern airports, was of reduced dimensions and only a knee joint of one of the figures that had the shape of a bird; Däniken says that this would have been an error in the first edition and that he was not the one who made this allegation in the book, but the error ended up not being corrected in the editions that followed.

Fragment of the Piri Reis world map (1513), in Topkapı Palace, Istanbul.

Piri Reis map

Von Däniken wrote in Were the Gods Astronauts? that a version of the Piri Reis map illustrated some Antarctic mountains that were and continue to be covered by ice, and that could only be mapped using modern equipment. His theory is based on the book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, by Charles Hapgood. AD Crown in Some Trust in Chariots explains how this is simply wrong. The map in von Däniken's book only extends 5 degrees south of the equator, ending at Cabo de

São Roque, which means it does not extend all the way to Antarctica. Däniken also said that the map showed some distortions that would only occur if this were an aerial view taken from a spacecraft flying over Cairo, but in reality the map does not extend far enough south to cause distortions in a view. aerial. Von Däniken also makes claims about the existence of a legend that says that a god gave the map to a priest, the god being an extraterrestrial being. However, Piri Reis said that he drew the map himself using old maps, and the map is consistent with the cartographic knowledge existing at that time. In fact, the map is also not "absolutely accurate" as von Däniken would have stated, because it contains many errors and omissions, a fact that von Däniken did not correct when he analyzed the map again in 1998, in the book Odyssey of the Gods. Other authors had also published the same age, a fact that von Däniken did not acknowledge until 1974 in an interview with Playboy magazine.

Cheops Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Cheops.

Nova's documentary The Case of the Ancient Astronauts shows that every claim Däniken made about the Pyramid of Cheops was wrong across the board. The construction technique is well known, we know exactly which tools were used, we can see the marks of these tools in the quarries and there are many tools preserved in museums. Däniken claims that it would take them an enormous amount of time to cut all the necessary stone blocks and drag them to the construction zone in time to build the Great Pyramid in just 20 years, but Nova shows how quick and easy it was to cut. a block of stone, and shows the rollers used in transportation. He also claims that the Egyptians suddenly started making pyramids out of thin air, but there are several pyramids that show the progress made by Egyptian architects as they perfected the technique from the simple mastabas to the pyramids that followed. Däniken stated that

the height of the pyramids multiplied by a million was the distance to the Sun, but the number is far below that. He also says that the Egyptians would not have been able to align the edges so perfectly with North without technology so advanced that only extraterrestrials could offer them, but the Egyptians knew very simple methods for finding North by observing the stars, and it is trivial to make straight edges.

The lid of King Pacal the Great's sarcophagus.

Palenque sarcophagus

Däniken states that the Palenque sarcophagus, in the Temple of Inscriptions, represents an astronaut sitting on top of a rocket, wearing a spacesuit. However, archaeologists do not see anything special in this figure, the deceased Mayan monarch with traditional Mayan hairstyles and jewelry, surrounded by Mayan symbols can be seen along with other Mayan designs. The right hand is not manipulating any controls of a rocket, but is simply making a traditional Mayan gesture, which other figures on the sides of the lid are also making, and is not holding anything. The shape of the rocket is actually two snakes that put their heads together at the bottom, the flames of the rocket are the snakes' beards. The rocket engine beneath the figure is the face of a monster, a symbol of the underworld.

The Ancestral Stones of Peru

Von Däniken released photographs of Peru's ancient stones, the Ica Stones, with engravings of men using telescopes, detailed world maps and advanced medical operations, all far beyond the knowledge of Peruvian ancestors. But the PBS television series Nova determined that the stones were contemporary and even tracked down the potter who made them. This potter makes stones daily and sells them to tourists. It is known that von Däniken visited the

potter and examined the stones, however he did not mention this meeting in his book. He says he didn't believe the potter when he said he had made them. Däniken says he asked Doctor Cabrera, a local surgeon and owner of a museum, who told him that the potter was lying and that the stones were ancient. But the potter had proof that Cabrera had thanked him for providing the stones for the museum. For his part, Däniken claims that the stones in the museum were very different from those made by the potter, but Nova journalists supervised the manufacture of one of the stones and confirmed that it was very similar to those found in the museum.

Easter Island Statues

Moai on a hill in Rano Raraku.

Kenneth Feder accused von Däniken of European ethnocentrism. while John Flenley and Paul Bahn have suggested that views such as their interpretation of the Easter Island statues "ignore the real achievements of our ancestors and constitute the last word in racism: they underestimate the capacity and ingenuity of the human species as a whole." "

Rebuttals

Ronald Story published the book The Space Gods Revealed in 1976, written in response to the evidence presented in the book Were the Gods Astronauts? from Däniken. This book was evaluated as "a coherent and indispensable refutation of Von Däniken's theories".

A 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine states that Däniken took many of the concepts from the book The Awakening of the Magicians, that this book in turn was greatly influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos, it also states that the core concepts of ancient astronaut theory originate from short stories by HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" written in 1926, and "At the Mountains of Madness" written in 1931.

Von Däniken, in a 2001 documentary, said that even though he was unable to conclusively prove to the scientific community that any of the items in his archive had an extraterrestrial origin, he felt that "today's science" would not accept such evidence, because "it's just not the right time." He also said that he went from being a Hotel Manager to being an “ancient world expert.” He argues that initially this would be necessary to "prepare" humanity for a "magnificent new world"

Popularity

The Jungfrau Park located near Interlaken, Switzerland, opened in 2003 under the name Mystery Park, and was closed in 2006 due to financial difficulties and low public support. Since 2009 it has been open during the summer season. It was designed by Erich von Däniken, the theme explores several great "mysteries" in the world.

Ridley Scott said that his film Prometheus is based on some of von Däniken's ideas relating to the beginning of human civilization

Reviewing the two DVDs of Roland Emmerich's film Stargate, Dean Devlin references the part "Is There a Stargate?" (Is there a Stargate somewhere?) which contains an interview where "writer Erich von Däniken discusses the evidence he has found that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials.

Charles Hoy Fort (Albany, August 6, 1874 – New York, May 3, 1932) was an American writer and collector of anomalous phenomena.

Life

Charles Hoy Fort was a collector of unusual facts and one of the precursors of fantastic realism. Fort was not very interested in explaining the phenomena, and his intention seemed more to embarrass scientists than to try to present an alternative theory.

Among the incredible phenomena cataloged by Fort, strange rains stand out, some of them mentioned by two other authors also considered masters of fantastic realism, Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier. In The Awakening of the Magicians, Pauwels and Bergier write: At the age of 34, Charles Fort began to accumulate notes on

extraordinary and yet recognized events... On November 2, 1819, red rain over Blankenberg, and on November 14, 1902, rain mud in Tasmania. Snowflakes the size of dinner plates in Nashville, January 24, 1891. Frogs in Birmingham, June 30, 1892. etc. Forty thousand notes on all kinds of rain that have fallen on the Earth for a long time led Charles Fort to admit the hypothesis that the majority of them are not of terrestrial origin: "I propose that we admit the idea that there is, beyond our world, other continents [place that contains] from which objects fall... ".

Publications

Fort published five books during his lifetime, including one novel. All five are available online (see External Links section below).

acques Bergier, born Yakov Mikhailovich Berger (Ukrainian: Яков Михайлович Бергер) (Odessa, 8 August 1912 - Paris, 23 November 1978), was a chemical engineer, resister, spy, journalist and writer of French and Polish nationality and of Jewish descent. Bergier contributed to promoting paranormal and pseudoscientific theories in France, namely through his book The Awakening of the Magicians (1960), co-authored with Louis Pauwels, and then through the fantastic realism movement, retransmitted by the magazine Planète.

Biography

Son of Mikhaïl Berger, a grocery wholesaler, Jewish, and Etlia Krzeminiecka, a Russian-Polish Jew native of Kremenets and cousin of a nuclear physicist, George Gamow and a certain Anatoly, member of the command that assassinated the Russian Tsar Nicholas II. Bergier, at two years old, read his first newspaper and at four years old, he could easily read Russian, French and Hebrew. He did not go to school as a child, but had private teachers. He was an avid reader (until the end of his life, he could read 4 to 10 books a day) and had an eidetic memory.

In 1920, the Russian Civil War forced the Berger family to take refuge in Etlia's homeland in Krzemeiniec, northwestern Ukraine. Young Yakov Mikhailovich went to a Talmudic school, where he

showed an interest in the study of Kabbalah. What's more, at school he studied mathematics, physics, English and German. He also read everything he could touch, but his favorite reading was science fiction.

In 1925, the family moved to France. There Bergier

Bergier became an assistant to French atomic physicist André Helbronner who was killed by the Gestapo at the end of World War II. According to Walter Lang, Bergier was approached by Fulcanelli with a message for Helbronner about the possibility of Humanity using nuclear weapons. The meeting took place in June 1937 in a laboratory of the Fuels Committee in Paris.

During the Second World War, Bergier was part of the French resistance, through the Marco Polo Network, carrying out several sabotage operations. He was arrested by the Gestapo on November 23, 1943 and subjected to prolonged torture, without ever confessing. The Germans tried to get him to collaborate scientifically with them, but he didn't give in. He was sent to the concentration camps of Neue Bremm and, later, Mauthausen-Gusen. As his Judaism was not detected, he survived and returned to France on May 19, 1945.

In an interview broadcast on RTS in 1978, Bergier said that his IQ was 160. Bergier died, of a cerebral hemorrhage, on November 23, 1978, in Paris, France.

Louis Pauwels (Ghent, Belgium, 2 August 1920 – 28 January 1997) was a French journalist and writer. In partnership with Jacques Bergier, he wrote the book The Awakening of the Magicians, considered a fundamental work of Fantastic Realism, a movement of great influence on the arts and literature, in particular, and on culture, in general. Together they launched the Planète magazine in France.

The Fantastic Realism Collection is a collection of books published by Ediouro in the 70s, 80s and 90s on subjects such as esotericism, lost civilizations, flying saucers, parapsychology, prophecies, mysticism, freemasonry, etc. More than 50 books were released at low prices and with themes that, at the time, had popular appeal. Some books are still available in recent editions in bookstores, others are out of print.

I truly believe that we are on a planet that was actually once habitable by thousands of races, both gods and extraterrestrials and aliens who showed the people of antiquity who founded the world on the vast knowledge of great and extraordinary powers that today makes us think about the space beings who came from space and lived on the earth before us and the great ancient civilizations and who were more powerful than the inhabitants of today and who left many marks, scriptures, sacred temples, pyramids on the earth for all places to prove to the ancient people that life, perhaps by a simple notion, began simply from great space and that it also left many mysteries until today and that they were fearless with great scientific capabilities and that they ruled the world for thousands of years like the Incas, Aztecs and Mayans and hominids would be a family that would include the genus Australopithecus and also the

human genus. Among the australopithecus, there are Australopithecus animensis, which would have lived between 4.2 and 3.9 million years ago, and Australopithecus afarensis, which possibly inhabited the Earth 3.9 to 3 million years ago and were the first inhabitants of the land that began prehistory. Prehistory is basically divided into Paleolithic, Mesolithic (intermediate period) and Neolithic. Until the end of time when ancient times were formalized about the great first civilizations that were formed and, therefore, we can call the first known civilization Sumer and locate it in southern Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. This statement comes from studies and research that prove that the Sumerian civilization was made up of several cities and possibly Uruk was the largest of them, but all of them were quite developed as the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Hebrews, leaving valuable ancient time that made about the great development of ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome that ancient civilizations were built and were kept as a gift for modern man who studied them until today when it clarified his mind and made him understand some hidden aspects about the life of the human being that with their archaeological knowledge until today they have shown us a great development between the sciences that were conceived from magic, the arts that were conceived from crafts, chemistry that was conceived from alchemy and architecture that was conceived from the great ancient constructions of sacred temples and pyramids that were developed by the ancients and passed on to us until today in which we portray this story as a very realistic factor that we can understand about the maturation of the world about the life of being human who was born, grew up and died so that with another life he could start over much better and better recognize the world that inhabited great mysterious beings both on land and in the sea who left us great stories in which here I will tell about some mysteries revealed as a knowledge about the story of

life and the world that I leave to everyone with lots of work and love, my best hugs and thank you very much.

Ancient Egypt and its mysteries

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the statue of the goddess Sekhmet, measuring 2 meters high and half a ton, dated to approximately 1390 and 1353 BC

By José Henrique Fabre Rolim

Ancient Egypt and its mysteries

Ancient civilizations attract research and imagination, in the case of the Egyptian civilization there is special interest in its mysteries, pyramids, sarcophagi, hieroglyphics, among many revealing aspects of a people and a remarkable era in the world.

The exhibition “Ancient Egypt: from Everyday Life to Eternity” at CCBB must be appreciated in all its details, bringing together 140 pieces that are part of the rich collection of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, located in Piedmont, Italy, considered the second largest collection in the world on the fascinating theme with 26,500 pieces, surpassed only by the Cairo Museum.

Walking through the space and observing the sculptures, paintings, amulets, everyday objects, sarcophagi and mummies is extremely revealing, one can see the subtlety and refinement of the pieces on display, the elegance of the design of everyday items, the purity of line, of the conception of a civilization in which aesthetics gained space in its full dimension.

In Rio, the exhibition attracted 1.4 million people, given the fabulous space of the Rio headquarters, which is much larger than the São

Paulo headquarters, which has rooms cut into a reduced circulation space.

In 2001, the instigating exhibition Art in Egypt in the Time of the Pharaohs took place at the FAAP Brazilian Art Museum with 56 pieces from the Louvre Museum and in the same year MASP opened the exhibition Pharaonic Egypt, Land of the Gods, both were intensely commented on and visited.

The current one, however, makes a more incisive foray, scrutinizing subtle aspects of the time of the pharaohs, encouraging deeper historical research involving the sensitivity and aesthetics of a civilization that has much to reveal at the core of its deepest meanings.

Ancient Egypt emerged in the 4th millennium BC and ended with the Arab conquest, which represents the end of the Coptic era in 641 AD. Egypt is in reality a long oasis surrounded by deserts, the Nile River is the essence of life, giving rhythm and fertility to the soil, with an efficient irrigation system for remarkable agricultural production.

The divine presence with its multiplicity of gods is reflected in every detail, from simple everyday objects to the most imposing and exquisite examples of architecture and sculpture, including a wide range of exceptional pieces that reflect the originality and creativity of a civilization. that exerts fascination.

Ancient Egypt and Its Limits

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the statue of the goddess Sekhmet, a warrior deity with a lioness's head measuring 2 meters high and weighing half a ton, made with a special rock called granodiorite and dating back to approximately 1390 and 1353 BC. The piece is strategically placed in a very appropriate space, being

presented with a plywood plate covered with gold leaves, a noble presence that impresses the visitor.

On the ground floor, a replica of the Giza pyramid was installed, approximately 6 meters high, produced right here, to create a visual impact in the CCBB entrance hall. The piece has a surface made of Styrofoam strips, painted the same color as the imposing Egyptian buildings.

Another special attraction is undoubtedly the set of items made up of sculptures, coffins and a human mummy of a woman called Tararo, 1.50 meters tall, who lived around 700 years BC, was a contemporary of the 25th dynasty, despite not being royalty, his social status was very high. The mummy possibly comes from the Necropolis of Thebes, a region located east of the Nile River.

From the Greco-Roman period (322 BC – 395 AD), the Book of the Dead draws the visitor's attention, a papyrus measuring 17.5m corresponds to the years 1750 and 332 BC, very bold in design with a slight fashion touch.

The ancient Egyptians had a well-defined objective, to preserve their dead with the prospect of a future life, they even mummified animals such as cats, as they believed they had sacred powers.

Now here in a few words I want to talk about great mysteries that the great philosopher Plato always told about the city called Atlanta in which I am going to unveil some words that can help you and unravel great mysteries.

Myth of Atlantis

The myth of Atlantis originates from the writings of Plato, in the 4th century BC. It is a legendary civilization marked by its great power and riches.

Illustration of statues and temples in ruins of Atlantis, at the bottom of the ocean; in the center, the clear sky and the sea.

The myth of Atlantis tells about a city marked by its great technological development.

The myth of Atlantis is an ancient Greek myth that emerged through writings written by the philosopher Plato, in the 4th century BC. This myth tells of a great civilization that developed on an island close to the Iberian Peninsula 9 thousand years before the time of the legislator Greek called Solon (approximately 9600 BC).

This civilization was marked by notable technological development, possessing many natural resources, a large army and a significant population. Atlantis was considered territory belonging to the Greek god Poseidon. He started a war against Athens, was defeated, and an earthquake hit the island, causing it to sink into the ocean.

the myth of Atlantis

Atlantis is a legendary civilization that was narrated in a myth written by Plato in the 4th century BC

This civilization developed on a large island that would be located close to the Strait of Gibraltar.

Atlantis was marked by an enormous degree of economic, military and technological development.

In myth, Atlantis began wars of expansion, being defeated by Athens.

The island of Atlantis was hit by a strong earthquake, which caused it to sink into the ocean.

There is no historical evidence for the existence of Atlantis.

What does the myth of Atlantis say?

The myth, which originated in Greece, tells the story of Atlantis and details about an ancient civilization that had an extremely advanced technological and civilizational standard. This civilization would have developed on an island and became known for waging imperialist wars against different peoples. This civilization ceased to exist when earthquakes shook the island, causing it to sink into the ocean.

This myth was mentioned for the first time by Plato in two texts written by him in the 4th century BC. These texts would have made Atlantis a widespread myth in Greek culture. This myth fell into oblivion during the Middle Ages, being rescued in the Modern Age.

What is the origin of the myth of Atlantis?

The myth of Atlantis originated from two texts that were written by Plato, a Greek philosopher from the 4th century BC. These texts contain two dialogues carried out by Timaeus and Critias, characters who narrate a story that was related to the history of Athens in Antiquity. Timaeus and Critias tell the legend that Solon, a legislator who lived between the 7th and 6th centuries BC, heard from an Egyptian priest.

The legend narrates a feat that would have happened 9 thousand years before the time of Solon. This event would have been a war between the Athenians and the Atlantean people, motivated by Atlantis' interest in expanding across Europe and Asia. Plato's mention of this myth led to a series of speculations in Antiquity.

There were several ancient intellectuals who believed in the existence of Atlantis, while others considered it all a legend. The myth related to Atlantis was practically forgotten during the Middle Ages, but recovered from the Modern Age onwards, serving as an influence on books such as A Utopia, by Thomas Morus.

What was the city of Atlantis like?

Firstly, the myth says that the island of Atlantis was close to the Strait of Gibraltar (which separates Morocco from the Iberian Peninsula). The place is referred to as “pillars of Hercules” and was defined as the place where the Mediterranean ended and the Atlantic Ocean began.

The myth says that the island of Atlantis was larger than the junction of the lands of Libya and Asia (understood by the Greeks as the territorial extension that went from Egypt to the Hellespont). Furthermore, Atlantis formed an empire that extended its domains to the European and Asian continents. Atlantis was marked by prosperity and great technological development.

The island was mountainous but had centralized plains that were known for their fertile soils. Furthermore, Atlantean soil had all the resources that were necessary to guarantee the survival of its people. The Atlantean lifestyle was marked by its ingenuity, and its fields were known for having an excellent irrigation system.

There was a great wealth of trees, all types of metals, food was abundant and there was a huge diversity of animals. This large amount of resources allowed the Atlanteans to have a prosperous empire. Another highlight is the fact that the Atlantean cities were well built and had good architecture.

The Greek myth narrates that the Atlantean cities had large temples, irrigation canals, great walls that protected the cities, as

well as gates, points, tunnels and countless works built with bronze, gold and ivory. There were large ports, which housed countless warships, bathhouses, gyms, jockeys' clubs, among other structures.

Atlantis had a large army, which could contain a troop of 10,000 war chariots. Such an army was only possible because the Atlantean population was very large. This enormous military power caused a great desire for conquest, power and expansion in Atlantis.

In the field of religion, Greek myths say that Atlantis was the domain of Poseidon, god of the seas for the Greeks. In the center of Atlantis there was a large temple in honor of this god, and the religious rituals of the Atlanteans were marked by practices such as prayers, prayers and bull sacrifices.

According to myth, Atlantis would have a large temple in honor of Poseidon, the god of the seas.

What was the end of the city of Atlantis?

The Greek myth tells that the island of Atlantis was taken over by greed and the desire for power, starting a series of imperialist wars that led it to conquer countless territories. One of these wars would have been against Athens, and the resistance of the Athenian population caused the Atlanteans to be defeated in the conflict.

The Athenian resistance was enormous, because wherever the Atlanteans passed, they enslaved the conquered peoples. The Athenians, then, were fighting for their own freedom. The Greeks won this war against Atlantis and also managed to free the other lands under Atlantean rule.

The myth says that after this, Zeus, the supreme god of Greek cosmogony, decided to punish Atlantis. He would have been bothered by the Atlanteans' thirst for power and therefore turned against the island. The Platonic text did not narrate the decision taken by

Zeus to punish Atlantis, but it says that the island was struck by a great earthquake, being swallowed by the sea. All its inhabitants died in this event.

Did the island of Atlantis exist?

.it is just a legend, apart from the texts of Plato and others who were inspired by him, historians consider that Atlantis does not exist any type of trace or historical source created by Plato. Numerous studies have already been carried out on the possible location of Atlantis, but as a fictional narrative Historiography treats Atlantis as a myth.

By Daniel Neves Silva

Here I simply want to talk about a mystery that could in fact be another case to research and always be very careful when talking about a triangle that is located in the sea in which several navigations and disappearances of planes have always disappeared, which I certainly believe that we are not talking about something like a tidal wave that destroyed many crews that we really cannot doubt common things because in everything perhaps there could be a mystery that comes from the bottom of the sea and that there must be something in that sea beyond human explanation and that I'm going to talk about a triangle that is causing a real sudden terror and it is said that the waters cannot deceive us because it would be more passive to tell this tremendous story about the Bermuda Triangle which is called the Devil's Triangle and I can tell you that many left and never returned because this place was a trial for man to study its mysteries and may God protect him in his passage.

The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle (or Bermuda Polygon) is an area that varies approximately from 1.1 million km² to 3.95 million km². This variation occurs due to physical, chemical, climatic, geographic and geophysical factors in the region, which have a decisive influence on the calculation of its area, located in the Atlantic Ocean between the islands of Bermuda, Puerto Rico, Fort Lauderdale (in Florida) and the Bahamas. The region was notable as the scene of several disappearances of planes, cargo boats and ships, for which extraphysical and/or supernatural explanations became popular.

One of the possible explanations for these phenomena is the disturbances that this region experiences in the Earth's magnetic field. One of the most famous cases is the so-called flight 19. Although there are several previous events, the first more systematic reports begin to occur between 1945 and 1950. Some trace the mystery back to Christopher Columbus. Even so, incidents range from 200 to no more than 1000 in the last 500 years. Howard Rosenberg states that in 1973 the US Coast Guard responded to more than 8,000 requests for help in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes were lost in the area during the 20th century.

Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of the missing planes and ships. Aliens, crystal residues from Atlantis, humans with anti-gravity weapons or other weird technologies, and fourth-dimensional vortices are among the favorites of fantasy writers. Strange magnetic fields and methane gas emissions from the bottom of the ocean are favorites of the most technical. Climatic factors such as storms, hurricanes and tidal waves, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, sea currents and other natural and human causes are favorites among skeptical researchers.

History and evolution

Since the era of Great Navigation, in the 15th and 16th centuries, ships traveling from Europe to the Americas continually passed through this area to take advantage of the winds of the Gulf Stream. Later, with the development of steam engines and boats with internal combustion engines, much of the North Atlantic traffic no longer passed through this area.

The Gulf Stream, an area with an unstable climate (known for its hurricanes), also passes through the triangle as it leaves the Caribbean Sea. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and unstable weather may have caused some boats to get into storms and get lost without a trace, especially before the development of telecommunications, radar and satellites in the late 20th century.

The first documented work on disappearances in this area was released in 1950, by EVW Jones, a journalist for the Associated Press, who wrote some articles about boat disappearances in the triangle. Jones said the disappearances of boats, planes and small boats were "mysterious." And he gave this area the name "Devil's Triangle".

In 1952 George X. Sand stated in an article in Revista do Destino that "strange marine and aerial disappearances" occurred in this area.

In 1964 sensationalist writer Vincent Gaddis coined the term "Bermuda Triangle" in an Argosy magazine article. A year later he published the book Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea ("Invisible Horizons: the True Mysteries of the Sea"), which included a chapter called "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle". Gaddis is generally considered the "inventor" of the Bermuda Triangle.

But it was ten years later, in 1974, that the mystery became myth through Charles Berlitz and his book The Bermuda Triangle, in which he took some of Gaddis' texts and compiled some cases of disappearances, mixed with falsehoods and blatant inventions. It was after the publication of this book that the events became known through the press in a more comprehensive way. After finding a man's head in the sea, everyone said that there were supernatural things.

An American TV channel specializing in science fiction produced a miniseries in 2005 called The Bermuda Triangle: Starting new secrets.

Possible explanations

Note that some are not scientifically accepted.

Anomalies in the electromagnetic field of planet Earth;

Conspiracy theory forged to develop reactions in the Cold War world;

Hexagonal formation of clouds;

Giant whirlpools;

flow of gas bubbles from the depths that make the water lighter, causing ships to sink as they pass.

Supernatural explanations

Some writers have used some supernatural concepts to explain the events in the triangle. One explanation is supposed technology from the lost continent of Atlantis. This story is sometimes connected to the submerged rock formation known as Bimini Road, near the island

of Bimini in the Bahamas, which is in the triangle in some cases. Followers of Edgar Cayce predicted that evidence of Atlantis would be found in 1968, referring to the discovery of Bimini Road. Some describe the formation as a road, wall, or other structure, although geologists consider it to be of natural origin.

Other writers attributed the events to UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg in his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which depicts the crew of Flight 19 as human abductees.

Charles Berlitz, author of several books on abnormal phenomena attributed the disappearances in the triangle as an anomaly or unexplained forces.

Natural explanations

Variations in compasses

Problems with compasses are one of the most cited in several incidents in the triangle. While some have theorized that unusual local magnetic anomalies may exist in this area, such anomalies have not been revealed to exist. It should also be remembered that compasses have natural magnetic variations in relation to the magnetic poles. For example, in the United States the only places where the magnetic north pole and the geographic north pole are exactly the same are on a line running from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico. Navigators have known this for centuries, but the public may not be informed and some people think there is something mysterious about the "shift" in the compass over an area as large as the triangle, despite it being a natural phenomenon.

Deliberate acts of destruction

Deliberate acts of destruction can fall into two categories: acts of war, and acts of piracy. Records in enemy archives have been checked for numerous losses; While several sinkings have been attributed to surface raiders or submarines during the World Wars and documented in the various logbooks, many other suspected sinkings have not been proven. The loss of the USS Cyclops in 1918, as well as her sister ships Proteus and Nereus in World War II, is suspected to have been caused by submarines, but no proof has been found in German records.

Piracy, which is defined as the taking of a ship or small boat on the high seas, is an act that continues to this day. While piracy of hijacked freighters is more common in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans, drug smuggling causes the theft of boats for smuggling operations, which may have been the case in the disappearances of crews and yachts in the Caribbean. Piracy in the Caribbean was common from 1560 to 1760, including famous pirates such as Edward Teach (Blackbeard) and Jean Lafitte.

Gulf Stream

The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico, and then passes through the Straits of Florida into the North Atlantic. In essence, it is a river within the ocean, and like a river, it can and does carry floating objects. It has a surface speed of around 2.5 m/s (6 mph). A small plane making a water landing or a boat having engine trouble will be carried away from the reported position by the current, as happened with a cruise ship called Witchcraft on December 22, 1967, when engine trouble was reported near a marker. buoy a mile (1.6 km) offshore, but the ship was not there when the Coast Guard arrived.

Human error

One of the most cited explanations in official inquiries is the loss of any aircraft or vessel as being human error. Whether deliberate or accidental, humans have been known to make mistakes resulting in catastrophes, and losses within the Bermuda Triangle are no exception. For example, the Coast Guard cited a lack of adequate training in cleaning up volatile benzene residue as the reason for the loss of the VA Fogg tank in 1972. Human stubbornness may have been the cause of dealer Harvey Conover losing his sailing yacht, the Revonoc, as it sailed into the eye of a storm south of Florida on January 1, 1958. Many losses remain inconclusive due to the lack of wrecks that could be studied, a fact cited in many official records.

Hurricanes

Hurricanes are powerful storms generated in tropical waters and have historically been responsible for thousands of lost lives and billions of dollars in damage. The sinking of the Spanish fleet Francisco de Bobadilla in 1502 was the first record of a destructive hurricane. These storms have in the past caused several incidents related to the triangle.

Gigantic waves

In several oceans around the world, giant waves have caused ships to sink and oil platforms to collapse.[6] These waves are considered to be a mystery and until recently were believed to be a myth. However, giant waves do not explain the loss of planes. However, the fact that there are 300 meters of waves present within the triangle, scientists believe could be a reason behind so many planes sunk at sea within it.

methane hydrates

An explanation for some of the disappearances points to the presence of several zones of methane hydrates on the continental plates.

In 1981, the United States Geological Survey reported the appearance of these hydrates in the Blake Ridge area (in the southeastern US).[10] Frequent methane eruptions could produce regions of foamy water that do not provide enough support for boats.

If such an area were to form around a boat, it would sink very quickly without warning.

Experiments in the laboratory have proven that bubbles can actually sink a scale model boat due to the decrease in water density.

Hexagonal formation of clouds

Researchers at the University of Colorado, in the United States, discovered an abnormal pattern in cloud formation in that region. The shape of these clouds is geometrically hexagonal, their performance being compared to an "aerial bomb", as the shape of these clouds allows the creation of super powerful air currents, capable of reaching up to 274 kilometers per hour. This wind could be compared to the strength of a hurricane.

Consequently, they can cause the impact of the wind on the ocean water to generate waves of up to 15 meters. Such natural conditions are practically deadly, as it is very difficult for a ship or plane, no matter how modern they are, to be unable to face conditions like these.

Fallacy

Some writers have suggested that methane hydrate suddenly released in the form of giant bubbles of gas, with diameters comparable to the size of a boat, could sink it. This phenomenon is physically impossible.

Furthermore, if it were possible for a bubble of methane gas to be created from the bottom of the ocean, as described, this giant bubble would burst due to the great pressure of the water and would convert into several smaller bubbles before reaching the surface. When emerging, these bubbles would form great turbulence, but not so much as to endanger the sustainability of the boat.

Although the bubbles formed in a laboratory tank may be large compared to a scale model boat, the effect cannot be compared in nature due to the relationship between the forces of surface tension and gravity.

Explanations of plane crashes

Methane gas could also cause planes to crash. Less dense air would cause planes to lose lift. Furthermore, on the plane's altimeter, height is determined by air density. Since methane is less dense, the altimeter would indicate that the plane is ascending. A pilot traveling at night or through clouds, situations in which it is not possible to see the ground, would assume that the plane was ascending and would react by descending, causing the plane to collide with the sea.

Another factor is that the methane sucked in by the engine would ruin the fuel and air mixture. Airplane engines burn hydrocarbons (such as gasoline) mixed with oxygen that comes from the air. When oxygen levels in the environment decrease sharply, combustion can stop completely, causing the engine to shut down. All these effects of methane gas have been demonstrated experimentally.

Other events

A Cessna 172 is "hunted" by a cloud, which results in its instruments malfunctioning, with consequent loss of position and death of the pilot, as reported by the surviving passengers.

A Beechcraft Bonanza flies into a monstrous cumulus cloud off Andros, loses radio contact, then regains it four minutes later, only to discover that it is now over Miami, with twenty-five gallons of gasoline more than should have - almost exactly the amount of gasoline that would be used by the device on the route traveled (Andros - Miami).

A National Airlines 727 is without radar for ten minutes, during which time the pilot reports that he is flying through light fog. Upon landing, it is discovered that all the clocks on board and the plane's chronometer have lost exactly ten minutes, despite a time check about thirty minutes before landing.

Beyond life

I believe that we can understand that there is a border on life that due to material and spiritual life perfecting itself on a plane that can perhaps take us somewhere different because due to elementary transformations nature makes us feel like we are passing through a barrier in time that leads us instead of surviving on the body we need more to synchronize the energies of the soul which is in the spirit that vivifies each atom in each fraction of an element that in the same way the planets always move in time over various changes like exhaust outlets in that great elementary transformations take place that drive the nuclear chemistry of each element, making us transcend the same role in the existence of life as it was when it originated from the most fearless realm of the soul, as in the distinct fictions of living man becomes he did in the soul and through the soul he generated upon the spirit that sought a simple pleasure to develop over all the relativities of life and the existence of the universe that we simplified the origin of a people that was when everything began as the beginning that the gods came to the world about a perfection of proving to the man between the triceps aspect of the man that made his spirit that would be formed in the logic and theory that mixes with life on the recoveries of nature that challenges the feeling as well as the voracious thought that drives both brotherly love and emotional hatred that comes from the emotions generated by the soul over the sense that will sow both joy and sadness and then man was made on earth to worship the gods who created the world and taught him to melodify time back and forth so that he dies to be born and is born to die and so he became man in spirit and harmonized with life and nature made him part of the world just like the gods who gave him life and give wisdom from the beginning, remaining between the middle and the end.

I believe that we can understand all the passages of life and know all the mysteries that surround life and can be about all the resonances of the universe that created itself from nothing to everything that

from everything stops to nothing and thus gave life and was born the light that represents life with the birth and movement and transformations of the planet from nothing built and destroyed itself towards death and gave death and died becoming dark which represents death with death and movement and transformation of the planet from nothing becomes built itself to destroy and build itself, thus becoming a nucleus over life called matter which made it a piece of paradise and part of the world and just like the gods man was made in life and death to live and die, establishing himself in the purpose of love and hatred and thus the world was formed that became homogenized with the human being and we can talk about great mysteries that come from the depths of the earth and from the heights of the sky and life is pacified on a border that makes us from the body into spirit and of the spirit in body over all the virtues and relativities that make up the life of the human being, which perhaps originated from the gods who civilized the world from antiquity to the present day in which we can say that God made us at the origin of the creation of the world as to the world we have to understand how the gods who taught us and showed us different things until today that were portrayed on a realistic image of the life that takes us and brings us at the same time that we have and that we must behave in terms of nature and its developments and relativities of the universe and so we can live and we are part of a universal movement between life and death as the universe that was created from nothing destroys and builds itself at the same time and we remain between a small interval of time and space as a atom into a smaller fraction of an element and we are everything in the universe in both physics and nuclear chemistry as small chemical functions generated by the spirit that give life to our bodies which are called atomic nuclei which are matter and we can use the subtle side of the soul on the functions of the mind that feels and act through the body as we can use the neutral side of matter on the functions of the body which are composed of nerves and muscles

working as physical movements and bendings and we have as part of the mysteries the enchanted kingdom of the soul that thinks and feels and then records its emotions that are both love and hate, which can be like images projected by the mind's own creation that creates effects throughout the body on the chemical functions of the spirit that vivifies each atom creating the fifth essence of life which is mystical and real that in this way we will be in conformity with life and simply reach the holy spirit and we will be over everything and all things that are intended for us and that relate to nature and all existences and resistances of life as just using the spiritual side and completing with the nature of both the universe and the earth.

I want to here, with much love, respect and work, to thank you for this compendium that I created as real proof of a good historian, philosopher and scientist to say that I am very grateful for this accomplished work that I made as real and fundamental proof as a writer and historian that I describe here about several researchers, scientists and historians who marked a beautiful and fantastic era of great and extraordinary stories that show us great mysteries and that talk about life about various fundamental aspects that took place in the life of both the planet and the living being that we are going to Congratulations here as a feeling of great work that I leave here with lots of love and affection to my dear and illustrious friends who want to research a little about life beyond the unknown and beyond borders and thank you all very much.
