The Giza Pyramid Complex as a kind of Voyager

Authors: Andrey V. Voron
Comments: 12 Pages.

An attempt is made to logically substantiate the assumption about the possible purpose of the Giza pyramids complex as a deep space communication device and as an object indicating the level of development of the civilization that created it. In this regard, a possible analogy is considered that arises when comparing the missions of the Pioneer-10, Pioneer-11, Voyager-1, Voyager-2 spacecraft on the one hand, and the Giza Pyramid Complex project on the other. At the same time, 5 possible assumptions are considered, the results of which show: the probable message of the builders of the pyramids and the possible addressee for transmitting the message (the proposed planetary system).

Newly Discovered Ship-Landing Site Serving the Etruscan Coastal Temple in Punta Della Vipera, Santa Marinella, Rome (Italy)

Authors: Mauro Giorgi, Stefano Giorgi
Comments: 8 Pages. Typos are fixed

In a recent underwater archaeological survey conducted along the coast north of Rome, near Santa Marinella, at a depth of 1.5 meters and 90 meters from the shoreline, we identified a significant assemblage of organogenic sandstone (macco) ashlar blocks. These blocks were arranged in a double parallel row extending approximately 5 meters in a NW-SE orientation, parallel to the coastline. The arrangement of the blocks delineates an internal space filled with stones, forming a structure reminiscent of a mole. The ashlar blocks were positioned in two distinct manners: the stretchers (Greek: διάτονοι) were placed with their longer sides facing outward, while the headers (Greek: ὀρθοστάτης) were arranged with their shorter sides facing outward, contributing to the structural reinforcement. Midway along the structure, a narrow canal formed by a double row of ashlars provides a connection between the internal space and the exterior, facilitating water circulation and mitigating the risk of silting in the port basin. The external mole continues northwest, incorporating additional blocks and natural rocks, which together form an L-shaped configuration. The area protected by these moles covers approximately 3,000 square meters and is located in close proximity (130 meters) to the sixth-century B.C. Etruscan temple at Punta della Vipera. These findings represent the earliest known evidence of a utility landing site associated with the Etruscan temple.

Human DNA and Neanderthal DNA

Authors: Clark M. Thomas
Comments: 5 Pages.

Among the great advances in 21st-century sciencehas been how much we can learn from DNA data.Historical narratives relying heavily on genomicclues may not always have sufficient causality.When possible, it is ideal to combine the geologicalpast with our emerging genetic profiles.Multidisciplinary perspectives can thereby yieldsuperior hypotheses regarding our ancient past.
