Today, we will be looking at the incredible enigmas surrounding the Temples of Jupiter and Bacchus at Baalbek, Lebanon, one of the most extraordinary ancient sites in the world. Although Baalbek is commonly attributed to the Romans, as you will soon see, the site is exceptional even by Roman standards. The most famous mystery at Baalbek is the Trilithon: three enormous stones embedded into the northern end of a U-shaped megalithic wall surrounding the Temple of Jupiter. Each stone is approximately 64 feet long, 14 feet high, and 12 feet…

Today’s topic in Ufology will be the Texas airship sightings of the 1890s. This will be related to my previous thread on Solomon Andrews. 📜 Solomon Andrews and his incredible patent No. 43,449. July 5, 1864, for "Improvement in aerostats." In the late 1890s, mysterious airships were reportedly seen in the skies over the United States. This thread will focus on two of these events in Texas in particular. Between April 13 and April 17, 1897, there were 38 reported mass sightings of airships, mainly in North Texas. These craft…

Todays in Hidden History is a man named Solomon Andrews (1806-1872) and his incredible patent No. 43,449. July 5,-1864, for "Improvement in aerostats."

Some fascinating images from a 16th-century treatise on comets, created anonymously in Flanders and now held at the Universitätsbibliothek Kassel, 1587. One can’t help but notice the stunning similarities to what we see in the skies today. The full title is: "Comets and their General and Particular Meanings, According to Ptolomeé, Albumasar, Haly, Aliquind and other Astrologers". The final figure is titled: Etching of the 'view of the organisation of the heavenly bodies' according to the pioneering astronomer William Herchel for The Gallery of Nature and Art: or, A Tour…

The Yangshan Quarry has to be one of the most anomalous sites on Earth. I do not believe the official history of it at all. Its unfinished monoliths are said to weigh 16,250, 8,799, and 6,118 metric tons. The largest alone comes in at nearly 36 million pounds. Supposedly, the three monoliths were commissioned by the Yongle Emperor in 1405 as part of an enormous stele. But even the lightest one weighs roughly 13.5 million pounds. For reference, that is the only one of the three lighter than a fully…
