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.

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

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.

Bayeux Tapestry: A 1,000-year-old embroidery depicting William the Conqueror's victory and King Harold's grisly death

 https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/bayeux-tapestry-a-1-000-year-old-embroidery-depicting-william-the-conquerors-victory-and-king-harolds-grisly-death

What painstakingly work to create this beautiful tapestry. It’s hard to believe this is over 1000 years old, I remember being a small child at school learning about the Bayeux tapestry in Scotland. I must have been around 9 years old and found history fascinating, having a life long love of history.

 https://the-riotact.com/ghost-tour-operator-vows-to-continue-legacy-after-famous-junee-haunted-house-closes-to-public/839419

Monte Cristo Homestead was a big tourist attraction for the paranormal community, alas times are changing and it faces a new future. The facebook page is still available to look at for the time being where you can see photos of the grand house, or if you google the name you will find ghost stories on different websites in regards to the ghosts said to haunt the house. There are photos of the house interior on google images if you would like to see them too.

Sixth-Century Silver and Gold Sword Discovered in Kent, England

 https://greekreporter.com/2024/12/31/sixth-century-sword-kent-england/

To be honest, I think it’s not right to go digging up ancient graves no matter what country they are in. It’s still desecration and robbing the graves. Archeology is just an excuse to destroy and desecrate graves. Much as I love history and archaeology, gravesites should be left alone.

50th Anniversary of Cyclone Tracy hitting Darwin

 


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Tracy

Tomorrow morning at approximately 5.30am Australian EST, it will be 50 years since the terrible cyclone Tracy hit Darwin. I had just turned 11 years old at the time and new to Australia. I had no idea what a cyclone at first, and I had only been in the country for 13 months, so everything was new to me. 

On Christmas morning my brother and I woke up and went to open our Christmas presents around 5.30 am, as kids do. We had our little transistor radios with us and were listening to the news when the cyclone was reported. 

I remember the shock when hearing of the destruction and deaths. I felt so guilty because I was safe in my home opening up my Christmas presents, and other children and adults had lost everything. How could I get my head around this? It most certainly put an end to any happy Christmas for me when I knew what had happened, Darwin was flattened.  I ran through to my parent’s bedroom and woke them up, to tell them what had happened. I don’t remember their response other than just being woken up after a few hours of sleep. I remember the song, Santa never made it to Darwin, which came out after the tragedy. It gave me the chills and I couldn’t listen to it without being very distressed. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Never_Made_It_into_Darwin

I will never forget this terrible day as long as I live, and all this week cyclone Tracy has been on my mind, not actually realising it’s now 50 years ago. But just a feeling of foreboding and worrying about a disaster happening on Christmas morning again was bothering me. Let’s hope that is not the case, it’s more likelihood that the energy of the event that is being picked up on and I being very sensitive to the energy. 





Five Christmas story elements that don’t appear in the Bible, from the little donkey to the inn keeper

 https://theconversation.com/five-christmas-story-elements-that-dont-appear-in-the-bible-from-the-little-donkey-to-the-inn-keeper-24605


Start looking for the answers in the night sky, it’s astrology pure and simple. The manger, the donkey, the cradle are all astronomical and astrological. It’s all mapped out and predates Jesus by thousands of years. The birth of Jesus is no different to other mythological and historical figures, and the narrative is repeated all around the world in many cultures. 

The Beehive is also another name for the Manger which is connected to ancient Egypt is also in the night sky, it’s also the name for the New Zealand parliament building. 

The donkey in the biblical stories is also astrological, sitting in the constellation of Cancer. It’s called Asellus Borealis which is next to Asellus Australis, both are known as the donkeys.

A guide to constellations, you will see a few things from the bible in this but not all of them, though it doesn't mention the crown of thorns by name it is actually the Corona Borealis

The constellation of Cancer

The three wise men or the belt of Orion, the one on the left is called Cavalry

A little bit more information about the Corona Borealis. ⬇️

https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Gazetteer/Topics/astronomy/_Texts/secondary/ALLSTA/Corona_Borealis*.html

You will notice the mention of three Mary's in the Wikipedia page about the Belt of Orion The bible also mentions three Mary's. Jesus’s mother was a Mary as was one of his sisters, however that sister is the Mary Magdalene, and there is either a double up of her or a deliberate obfuscation of her role and identity. Not all researchers agree on this though. Jesus was an actual king historically speaking and Mary Magdalen ( Mary of the Towers more interesting connections with her in Europe including being alluded to in the fairy tale Rapunzel )  was his sister wife.  The Jesus family had connections to ancient Iran, Parthea according to the writer Ralph Ellis, who has written extensively on the history of Jesus and his family bloodline. The books are available on Amazon. Raplh Ellis also informs us about Jesus being an Astrologer as well as a high ranking Freemason. 

I am finding myself drawn to  study this along with my astrology studies. It's a lot of fun when you delve into this and it's great to learn new things and it is so much better than sitting in front of the tv for me.

I am the sort of person that could happily divide my time between nature and a library and I just love to share information with likeminded people.  As I come across more information I will update this and perhaps you may be curious about the amazing information. The power of the age of Aquarius is unfolding as we live and breathe and this is written in the stars.

Ancient Civilization Of Halflings In The Dungeons Of Kabardino-Balkaria

 https://anomalien.com/ancient-civilization-of-halflings-in-the-dungeons-of-kabardino-balkaria/

Clearing space on my iPad and came across this from 2022. Rather thought provoking and it reminds me of the ant people the native Americans people spoke of after the cataclysm. Our planet is full of underground tunnels that go right across the world from the Middle East to Europe for example.

Mysterious King Arthur Monument Found to Be Over 5,000 Years Old

https://www.sciencealert.com/mysterious-king-arthur-monument-found-to-be-over-5000-years-old 


I doubt if we will ever find an answer to this. But is it possible there is not only an astronomical purpose  and an astrological purpose to where this is situated? A one of a kind structure that archaeologists know of so far, no doubt it is also on the ley line that runs through the area, which would mean its location is very important for either of these purposes. Whomever built this would have knowledge of such things to build here if this is on a ley line. Ley lines are the earth’s chakras being a living entity no different to any living  beings. 

Regardless of that ancient history is an amazing subject as is archaeology. I always find the UK an exciting place for both mystical and historical studies. I do miss my homeland when I read anything historical or even of the natural world and wildlife. Similar to Australia with magic in the air at sacred sites.

Here is a lovely article about Cornwall and the mystical history including Bodmin moor where King Arthur’s hall monument is located. I wish I could visit this place and enjoy the mystical atmosphere. Not to mention the beautiful scenery and wildlife.

Pompeii victims aren't who we thought they were, DNA analysis reveals

 https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/romans/pompeii-victims-arent-who-we-thought-they-were-dna-analysis-reveals


Interesting new update on Pompeii, modern technology is now able to test fragmented remains of the victims. I always find Pompeii very distressing reading because I think about the absolute terror of the poor people and animals that died in this horrible disaster. It’s definitely a museum that I would never want to visit.
