Hidden Hieroglyphs found in Great Pyramid

PYRAMID-EXPLORING ROBOT REVEALS HIDDEN HIEROGLYPHS

Written in red paint, the symbols may help Egyptologists figure out why mysterious shafts were built into the pyramids.

By Rossella Lorenzi

robot explorer sent through the Great Pyramid of Giza has begun to unveil some of the secrets behind the 4,500-year-old pharaonic mausoleum as it transmitted the first images behind one of its mysterious doors.

The images revealed hieroglyphs written in red paint that have not been seen by human eyes since the construction of the pyramid. The pictures also unveiled new details about two puzzling copper pins embedded in one of the so called “secret doors.”

Published in the Annales du Service Des Antiquities de l’Egypte (ASAE), the images of markings and graffiti could unlock the secrets of the monument’s puzzling architecture.

“We believe that if these hieroglyphs could be deciphered they could help Egyptologists work out why these mysterious shafts were built,” Rob Richardson, the engineer who designed the robot at the University of Leeds, said. The study was sponsored by Mehdi Tayoubi and Richard Breitner of project partners Dassault Systèmes in France.

Philip Hammond: “We know much more about the composition, direction and size of the plume than we did last year”

Flights in Scotland have been cancelled by a regional airline as volcanic ash continues to head towards the UK.

Loganair, based at Glasgow airport, has cancelled 36 flights on Tuesday as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) warns that disruption cannot be ruled out.

Analysts expect the ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano to reach Scotland and Northern Ireland by Monday evening.

The event comes a year after ash from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano spread across Europe, causing huge disruption.

Scientists Find Odd Twist in Slow ‘Earthquakes’: Tremor Running Backwards

ScienceDaily (May 22, 2011) — Earthquake scientists trying to unravel the mysteries of an unfelt, weeks-long seismic phenomenon called episodic tremor and slip have discovered a strange twist. The tremor can suddenly reverse direction and travel back through areas of the fault that it had ruptured in preceding days, and do so 20 to 40 times faster than the original fault rupture.

One of the thousands of documents the FBI placed in its new online site (find out where) reportedly seems to confirm that aliens did land at Roswell, N.M., in 1947. (See where that is.) Conspiracy theorists have said for years that the U.S. government covered up its discovery of this in a field, saying instead it was a weather balloon.

Minus 200 Million…

What If 200 Million People Go Missing on Saturday?

Judgment Day
According Christian tradition, the rapture is the day when believers will ascend to heaven and be rewarded with everlasting life.

According to the predictions of Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping, May 21 will be the day of the rapture, when God calls believers to heaven to live in everlasting paradise.

By Camping’s estimation, that means the Earth will be 200 million souls lighter by Sunday morning. [Infographic: A Brief History of Doomsday]

While there’s no reason to believe that Camping’s doomsday predictions are more reliable than the hundreds of failed end-of-the-world predictions throughout history, the loss of 200 million people all at once would be the largest single population decrease in human history. It’s safe to say the world would take notice — but the effects of such a mass disappearance would depend on where believers were concentrated.
