Iandra Castle (Mount Oriel)

I am planning a trip to Iandra Castle (Iandra Homestead Pastoral Estate), I just missed out on yesterday's open day, so I am determined to see it as soon as possible. It will be a lovely day out, as I love historical places and gardens. Iandra is a heritage listed estate which commenced construction in 1880 and completed by 1910. Beautiful and romantic architecture of a bygone era of which not many are left in Australia. Thankfully what is left is heritage protected to showcase the past achievements of a young and  developing nation of Victorian and Edwardian times.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iandra_Castle Some historical information for further knowledge. Check out google images for interior photos. Follow on Facebook and Instagram.

I do hope that people seeing this blog post may take the trip out to see this lovely place and breathe in the lovely country air. It is worth the drive out there for a day trip and perhaps a picnic. Don't forget to take a hat if going in the warm weather to walk in the gardens. Ladies how about a parasol to prevent hat hair and feel like a lady of olden times?

Scientists find ancient life-size animal rock carvings in the Saudi Arabian desert

 https://www.nbcnews.com/world/saudi-arabia/scientists-find-ancient-animal-rock-art-saudi-arabian-desert-rcna234862

This is quite a find out in the desert and hidden for 12,000 years. 

Scottish Scholars Challenge Book of Kells Origins

 https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/book-kells-origin-0022487


Interesting discovery we are constantly discovering more information about the past and sometimes it just needs a different set of eyes and good old detective work. It’s a big thing when something challenges the official narrative of history and it can be quite a contentious issue, but we live and learn from more research and a fresh perspective.

The thousand-year story of how the fork crossed Europe, and onto your plate today

 https://theconversation.com/the-thousand-year-story-of-how-the-fork-crossed-europe-and-onto-your-plate-today-260704

It’s always interesting to read this sort of historical information. It amazes me how long it actually took for the fork to be accepted. Women would no doubt would have found the use of a fork much more elegant than eating with their fingers and thus avoiding greasy fingers. 

Napkins or Serviettes as they are also known have an interesting history too, dating back to Ancient Greece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin 

I  must admit that I am an avid lover of linen napkins, something I fondly remember my paternal grandmother was very particular about. I still keep paper napkins handy too though and they come in handy when pets have little accidents. Especially cats when they have fur balls and you have to mop up the floor.

'Forgotten' royal castle uncovered on Scottish island

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz693e0zdqeo


This reminds me of the movie The mists of Avalon, in the days of intrigue and power struggles. Scottish history is like never ending adventure stories and sagas that never cease to hold us riveted. Who wouldn’t love to read all of the amazing history books of ancient Scotland and explore all the castles and the wonderful countryside.

The Circle of Giants, A Stonehenge of the Middle East, Gilgal Rephaim

 


What an interesting video, I had no idea that this existed. For those that have been following my old blog and this one for years you will enjoy this ancient archeological masterpiece built around 3000 BC.  This structure is similar to Newgrange in Ireland which around 5,200 years old and is aligned to Sirius and also allows the sun to enter a chamber on the Summer Solstice too. Shared knowledge globally by the ancients and I would say that they are the same as the Tuatha de Danann, just known by a different name in their respective countries. What he doesn't say is they could be red haired like many of these giant races were including those found in America. Those Gingies got around. I wish Australia had an amazing structure like these ones.  

Do read the comments because there are some really good comments posted, I noticed the lady mentioned the seat inside the chamber looked like it was for a pilot to sit in. That struck me as a very interesting observation. They should have made a 360 degree video of the chamber and floor to ceiling too, so that we get a proper feel of the room. Apart from aligning with the Summer Solstice does it align with Sirius or Orion?

Who was Adelaide Springett?

 https://chiddicksfamilytree.com/2024/02/15/adelaide-springett/

A horrific tale of heartache, poor Adelaide never stood a chance in life. Why are souls made to incarnate only to go through terrible suffering and abuse, especially children and the vulnerable of this world? I do not subscribe to the utter rubbish of to be punished for previous lives or that one achieves higher spirituality through suffering. That is Salvationist  rubbish to placate the gullible via organised religion. Ordinary human beings have always suffered in this world and always will, because we serve no real purpose other than when in the physical body or tomb of the flesh for spirit, we are placed in a dark, heavy and low realm of the dead or the third dimension to be energy harvested for loosh. For the dark forces to feed from, without us these evil forces cannot survive. There is no real spirituality in this dimension for a reason. 

This is entrapment of the spirit, which gets perpetually recycled until the spirit energy is completely destroyed. If you take the time to delve deeper into metaphysics you will uncover some rather complex and disturbing truths. Only the brave take that plunge into the not so well known realm of metaphysics. 

My heart goes out to all the suffering souls of this reality, not knowing how to escape from the darkness and perpetual recycling of souls and spirit within us. Is it any wonder that many women refuse to bring children into this world? There has only been a very small window of time when some ordinary people have had what one can call financial freedom and independence from poverty and suffering. That window is closing now. Yes, some in the west will still have a comfortable life but at what cost? 

There are currently children in England going through terrible poverty and ill health as a result of poverty. A first world country, just think about that, Europe has a better standard of living than the poor in England right now, rickets has returned for a start. Poor Adelaide and her siblings like thousands of others lived and died suffering. We owe it to today’s children never to allow this to happen again. 

Adelaide was born in 1893 and died in 1986 in poverty in a pauper’s grave, her suffering never stopped!

5,500-year-old ‘Polish pyramids’ discovered in western Poland reveal Neolithic engineering

 https://archaeologymag.com/2025/07/5500-year-old-polish-pyramids-western-poland/

An unusual design of pyramids wide at the front and tapered at the back. Perhaps this symbolises the sun’s rise in the eastern sky and sinks in the west. Pyramids and structures like Stonehenge, Newgrange etc are aligned to face Orion and Sirius. 

Newgrange in Ireland is supposedly 5,200 years old in comparison and is older than the Egyptian pyramids. I would like to know where they get their facts from on how  old they are, because radio carbon dating is only an approximation.  I believe that Newgrange is older than these Polish pyramids too. To me the shape points to bringing down energy from the heavens to earth, and that is why they have a point at the top like a reverse funnel. 

The oldest astronomical structure in the world is Nabta Playa in Africa and is around 7,000 years old which is related to the summer solstice. This article below comments on the people of Nabta Playa worshiping cows, that is worshipping the age of Taurus it’s astrology! Astrologically speaking the age of Taurus came before the age of Aries, which preceded the age of Pisces ruler of the 12 house. The zodiac wheel works anticlockwise over thousands of years. Astrology was brought on to the planet by advanced beings and given to certain people we call the priest classes. This was guarded knowledge that only became general public knowledge in the early 20th century.

Fallout from Ned Kelly's last stand haunted families for generations

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-28/bushranger-ned-kelly-glenrowan-siege-145th-anniversary/105442598

Australian history may be short compared to other countries but it is full of heartache and hardship. Life in Australia was very hard up until the 1960’s for many people. The bush ranger era was a frightening time and not something to be glorified. I went to Glenrowan a few years ago where the Kelly gang met their fait. It’s a relatively small area where the last stand took place. Below is a link to my experience of my trip to Glenrowan and a couple of photos of the site of  Ann Jones’ pub.

Crystal jar from Viking hoard to go on show in Scotland

 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cew05ljy7rpo

What an amazing discovery, I would love to see the other items that were found along with, there is a link within the article that shows the other items from 2024. The items are currently touring Australia at present, so some lucky people can see these in person if the live in the cities where they are on display.

Inside Dargan Shelter, the Blue Mountains cave home to artefacts linked to the Ice Age

 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-17/cave-reveals-secrets-about-human-life-in-australian-ice-age/104855272

This is an awesome discovery for Australia and hopefully we will learn much from this site. The region gets very cold in winter including snowfall. It would be very hard to survive in freezing winters back then. Summers are cooler than Sydney due to the altitude. The Blue Mountains are a beautiful place to visit and a must do for tourists, The Blue Mountains and Katoomba are buzzing with people all year round due to the beautiful scenery and tourist attractions. So if you come from overseas, please put this area on your itinerary.

6,200-year-old ‘cone-headed’ skull found in Iran reveals cranial modification and death by blunt force

 https://archaeologymag.com/2025/06/6200-year-old-cone-headed-skull-found-in-iran/

Head binding to look like the gods. I wonder if this caused headaches, I imagine it would have because the binding would have been tight and over a long period of time. Poor children having to suffer for parental obsession over their children as a status symbol emulating beings that they worshipped.

Tomb of missing pharaoh found in biggest discovery since 1922

 https://www.ladbible.com/news/world-news/ancient-egypt-missing-pharaoh-thutmose-ii-archaeology-783650-20250219

What a stunning find after so long, it will be good to see what else is in the tomb. I don’t think there is the same level of excitement in the public these days like when Howard Carter made his great find.  But it is still something of interest nonetheless.

The Empires of Atlantis

 https://www.newdawnmagazine.com/articles/the-empires-of-atlantis

A very interesting article that I came across rummaging around in the internet. This makes a lot of sense with the continent sinking gradually and not like the titanic over one day or night. The gradual movement of the people also is more probable and not how it is perceived by ancient scholars, there is no way that a population can just disappear from history or all perish in one day.

Archaeologists Find Lost Home of England’s Last Anglo-Saxon King

 https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/anglo-saxon-king-0021859

This follows on from the previous post. There wouldn’t be many indoor toilets in those days. Shear luxury, no treading through snow or rain to get to the toilet.
