A tumbleweed ??

[*Buckaroo*]

Probably by Tyronne.

Nah, that was the prediction of England winning the WC 2003, in conjunction with Loki, the Norse Sly-God

Speaking of Norse God...

"Asgaard" in Norse mythology, is the Home of the Gods. Louis Jacolliot,
a French student of Indian Mythology, states in his book Le Fils de
Dieu (The Sons of God), that he learnt from the Brahmin priests in
Villenoor of a place named "Asgartha", known as the "City of the Sun",
which was the ancient seat of Brahmatma, way back in 13,000 BCE.
Jacolliot claims that in 10,000 BCE, some 'Aryan Brahmins' rebelled
against their priestly masters and took over Asgartha, forged an
alliance with the other priests and became a warrior caste. Later, in 5,000 BCE, two Norse brothers, Ioda and Skandah,
invaded Hindustan from the Himalaya region and finally destroyed
Asgartha, though they were driven away by the Brahmin warrior-priests.
These two continued northward, back to their homeland, the land of the
Norsemen, where they were immortalized as "Odin" and "Scandinavia". (The name Scandinavia orignated from Skandah?)

With such stories as from the book Mission of India in 1886, by the
French mystic investigator Saint-Yves d'Alveydre, the Agartha legend
continues to be kept alive. This book states that Agartha is a hidden
land under the earth, ruled over by a black sovereign Pontiff named the
Brahmatma. The realm was shifted underground around 3,200 BCE, at the beginning of the Kali Yuga
. Agartha has much advanced technology such as artificial lighting,
mechanised transport, and even air-travel. The city sends emissaries to
the upper world, about which it keeps well informed. It
also has huge libraries that contain the original copies of all texts
that were lost or destroyed or corrupted on the surface of the earth.

Yep. I'm suspect about it, damn neutral on it's use and there isn't a "hide your eyes to avoid looking embarassed for you" emoticon, so the tumbleweed it is.

Front or rear?
Hard to tell with all that cloud around.

[*Buckaroo*]

It should be the rear Merlin, atleast I hope it is. Isn't that more fun ? In some countries it is even banned.

Author L.A. Panchuk Discovers More Than the Mayan Calendar: End of the World Date, or Something Else?

In exploring the areas of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala in 2006 and
2007, author L.A. Panchuk toured and documented the local Mayan
folklore stories of old and recorded the great question of their
Calendar and its meanings. What he discovered shocked him and created a
document that he says now points to several different possibilities to
the meaning of the Mayan Calendar.


Saint Augustine, Florida (PRWEB)
September 24, 2007 -- In exploring the areas of Mexico, Belize and
Guatemala in 2006 and 2007, author L.A. Panchuk toured and documented
the local Mayan folklore stories of old and recorded the great question
of their Calendar and its meanings. What he discovered shocked him and
created a document that he says now points to several different
possibilities to the meaning of the Mayan Calendar.

Explorer and author of the novel titled The Devil's Magnet, L.A.
Panchuk begins his report on the findings from his travels across
Central America and the Maya stories involved in the great Calendar
which is set to end on Dec. 21. 2012 and thus it is said to be the end
of the world.


To explore this region Panchuk set out a number of questions to each
Maya he met with, he documented the various stories handed down
generation to generation to explore all the Maya and their folklore
stories. In the end Mr. Panchuk would cover the calendar and the
questions surrounding its mysteries by gaining a full insight into this
rich history for a race that arrived at a date that we are now on a
collision course.


Panchuk quickly points out that the rumors about the calendar and
its meanings have various endings depending on which old story handed
down you like to run with. His favorite was a large lightening bolt
that is set to hit on the night in question. "The lightening," Panchuk
admits, "was not in my original plans to build a mainstream feeling
about this great race and came on a story that shocked me." Mr. Panchuk
further reports he came up on a story about a large hair man like
creature in the Maya folklore that was indeed another Big Foot story.
Among the many stories, Larry Panchuk points to the calendar and its
faithful day towards a change, or is it the end of the world. "Even we
don't really know," he reports, "if they knew, or did they know"
something more than what our scientists know today, but certainly the
alignment of the planets on this night gives it an extra credibility
that makes you think twice about what is intended to happen.


"I sat down with tour guides, average Maya people, elders of the
Maya and all gave me their 'grandfather's story'. As I documented their
belief and stories I would drop the question about the calendar on
them, once they seemed comfortable in our discussions about old Maya
folklore, it was always interesting to hear everything they had to tell
me. What I got was something else, in one such case I was told about
the ruins that we have never discovered. Apparently the Maya are to
this day still keeping secrets from the general public about their
great history in Central America. I was informed that some ruins may
have been buried by the Maya people themselves to preserve their
temples until their gods returned from the stars. In another issue, a
Mayan informed me that the real temple where the great lightening bolt
will hit on Dec. 21, 2012 has not been discovered and most Maya do not
know its location." So many stories were documented, Mr. Panchuk says
he's still working on them and trying to deal with the complicated
question -- What is the truth about this date?


L.A. Panchuk is set to visit more areas in the future to continue to
unearth the folklore, the ruin sites and the greatness that set the
Mayans into the history of Central America.
