Ka (Life Force)

by Micha F. Lindemans
The Egyptian definition of the spirit and life-force of both humans and gods. Ka and ba (soul) form together the immortal elements. When a mortal was born, his ka was created with him and remained in the world of eternity while his mortal body was alive on earth. When a person died, he "rejoined his ka". Ka also acts as a protecting spirit and guards its dead against the dangers of the after life.
The hieroglyph for ka is two raised arms with the palms of the hand stretched.

But only if you're a God or high-ranking human. Everyone else has to share their KA with all the other plebs.

Ka is the force in Stephen King's Dark Tower series that leads all living (and unliving) creatures. It is the will of Gan, the approximate equivalent of destiny, or fate, in the fictional language High Speech. It is the force that causes a destiny to happen, but is not necessarily impossible to surpass. Ka can be considered to be a guide, a destination, but is certainly not a plan - at least, not one that is known to mortals. Ka is not necessarily a force of good or evil; it manipulates both sides, and seems to have no definite morality of its own.The official Dark Tower site describes ka as the following: "Ka... signifies life-force, consciousness, duty and destiny. In the vulgate, or low speech, it also means a place to which an individual must go."

Ka (life force)

The Ancient Egyptians believed that a human soul was made up of five parts: the Ren, the Ba, the Ka, the Sheut, and the Ib. In addition to these components of the soul there was the human body (called the ha, occasionally a plural haw, meaning approximately sum of bodily parts).

The Ka (k3) was the Egyptian concept of life force, that which distinguishes the difference between a living and a dead person, death occurring when the ka left the body.

The ka often was represented in Egyptian iconography as a second image of the individual, leading earlier works to attempt to translate ka as double.

The Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is considered to be 'The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World'. To this day this medieval artifact resists all efforts at translation. It is either an ingenious hoax or an unbreakable cipher.

Based on the evidence of the calligraphy, the drawings, the vellum, and the pigments, Wilfrid Voynich estimated that the Manuscript was created in the late 13th century. The manuscript is small, seven by ten inches, but thick, nearly 235 pages. It is written in an unknown script of which there is no known other instance in the world. It is abundantly illustrated with awkward coloured drawings of:
unidentified plants; what seems to be herbal recipes; tiny naked women frolicking in bathtubs connected by intricate plumbing looking more like anatomical parts than hydraulic contraptions;
mysterious charts in which some have seem astronomical objects seen through a telescope, some live cells seen through a microscope;
charts into which you may see a strange calendar of zodiacal signs, populated by tiny naked people in rubbish bins.
No one really knows the origins of the manuscript. The experts believe it is European They believe it was written between the 15th and 17th centuries.

It reads as if written fluently, not by someone who was painfully calculating each next character, but by someone who understood what he was writing. It looks like a curious herbal or alchemical treatise, full of diagrams of unknown plants, unknown constellations, and elaborate networks of plumbing inhabited by plump, naked, crowned women.

Few assumption after reading the book:

1. Could this be written in "fairy" language? like The Spiderwick, the great great uncle actually travelled to fairy dimension (3rd dimension) where he recorded what he saw in fairy world into a book.

2. May be this is written by Extra Terrestial? Because in 13th century most of the scholar is still not very familiar/expose to space knowlegde. But this book full of drawings that human can't understand/compare with.

3. What is the written information is about what happen in another planet? That planet is make up of all women? That explain the botanical/plant which can't be found on Earth, also explain about the naked women in tub or kind and inside a tub seems able to fly in the sky.

If we can't translate for almost 100 years (a first "solution" was announced in 1919, by William Romaine Newbold) , does it mean this book will never be able to read?

The mysterious gate-like structure of Aramu Muru

Not many people have heard about Aramu Muru, one of the World's most unique creations, an wall-like stone construction in eastern Peru.
It resembles a gate, but its sheer size makes stuns researchers. Nobody has any idea about who built it and what its purpose was.
The huge monumental structure is not an Inca creation, but a much older one, built by a pre-Inca civilization.
Let's take a look at what Aramu Muru is all about!

Characteristics, myths and theories about the construction

Aramu Muru is 7 meters tall and 7 meters wide.
The hole on the gate-like wall represents the key whole. A person can be the key, but the door only opens to some people and at certain times.
The name of the gate comes from an Inca priests name, Aramu Muru. He belonged to the Seven Rays Monastery, who was travelling on foot from Tiahuanaco to the Inca capital of Cuzco running from the Spaniards (supposedly). Aramu Muru was carrying a Golden Disc of the Sun, a sacred golden object, representing the Sun. He got lost in the mountains around Lake Titicaca, never to be seen again. Perhaps he was killed by the Spaniards, but hopefully he got away. We will never know.
The legend of Aramu Muru says that he passed through the gate into another World. This might make some of us think of what we saw in the movie "Stargate" or "Back to the Future".
The local population tells stories about God Meru, who is believed to be located beyond the gate, which is the entrance to the Temple of Illumination. It is said that the gate becomes semi-transparent before the Sun sets.
Another saying is about visions. It is believed that if one touches the frame of the gate with both hands, flat, then visions occur: one can see fire, hear melodies and see tunnels running under a mountain.
Some people affirm that they've actually experienced strange phenomena, some even say they've been beyond the great door, which opened to them.

Visiting Aramu Muru

Very few people ever wonder into this part of Peru. Attracted by Machu Picchu, the Nazca lines and other more popular wonders, it remains unknown to most travelers.
The area lacks tourist infrastructure (bad roads, no hotels, few tour guides ever take people here).
If you want to get there, you'll have to travel to Puno, near Lake Titicaca, in Southeastern Peru. From there either by a hired car/bus or rental vehicle, it's easy to reach Juli, then from there to the ruins.
The site is roughly 35 km away from Puno, town accessible by airplane too. Juli is on the southern part of the Titicaca Lake.

The locals are said not to go into the area and tell of people disappearing through the rock face and others coming through followed by orbs of light.

They didn't timetravel, did they?

The earliest records and legends date back at least 3000 years. They suggest that it was from Aksum that Makeda, the fabled Queen of Sheba, journeyed to visit King Solomon in Jerusalem. Legend has it that a son was born to the Queen from her union with Solomon. This son, Menelik I, grew up in Ethiopia but travelled to Jerusalem as a young man. There he spent several years before coming back to his own country with the fabled Ark of the Covenant. The Ark, according to Ethiopian belief, has remained in Aksum ever since (in an annex to the Church of St. Mary of Zion).

Very interesting place, may be the door will open with the Ark of Convenent? No one know, unless use it to try :). It will be amazing to just imagine the fake "door" is the doorway for time travel..eh?

The sites listed above are shown clockwise from Giza on the equal azimuthal projection below. The projection is centered on the axis point in southeastern Alaska. Distances to any location from the center of an equal azimuthal projection are equally scaled. Since all of the sites on the great circle alignment are equally distant from the axis point at one quarter of the circumference of the earth, the alignment forms a perfect circle halfway between the center and the outer edge of the projection.

Strangest places that I will like to visit
