Fiction or Truth? - You Decide
Were Women the First Mathematicians and Time Keepers?
One of these women is represented on an
18-inch bas-relief called the "Venus of Laussel," (Shown Left) an
image dating to the Aurignacian era, some 21,000 years ago.
Originally painted in red ochre, suggesting menstrual blood, the Venus holds a curved bison horn with 13 notches, which represent the crescent moon and, apparently, the "Universal Vulva," along with the annual lunar months and women's menses. Significantly, the average menstrual cycle is 29.5 days, the same as the lunar month; hence, the two are intimately connected. It was women's observations of their menses that led to timekeeping. Another factor in the development of astronomy was the need for hunters to know the lunar cycle, so they could plan their hunt, based on the waxing or waning of the moon. Pretty interesting fact.

Were George Washington, Thomas Pain and Jefferson Jesus Mythicists??
Did the American Founding Fathers study the case for Jesus Christ being a mythical figure?
Excerpted from The Christ Myth Anthology
"The fable of Christ and his twelve apostles...is a parody of the sun and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, copied from the ancient religions of the Eastern world.... Every thing told of Christ has reference to the sun. His reported resurrection is at sunrise, and that on the first day of the week; that is, on the day anciently dedicated to the sun, and from thence called Sunday..." Thomas Paine, The Complete Religious and Theological Works of Thomas Paine
"...the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter." Thomas Jefferson, The Adams-Jefferson Letters. Both books are available at Amazon.com. Links are provided below. Both great reads.
"Global Warming"
The planet is screwed up, you know why I believe the planet is screwed up? Because In four days, I experienced five seasons. It was thirty, it was sixty, it was ninety, then it was TWELVE! And on the last day, there was thunder, lightning, and snow--together! And I hadn't done drugs. "Lewis Black"
