I was always skeptical of Bigfoot even though I wanted so much to believe in a higher primate with which we humans could share our world. With all the hoaxes and insubstantial “evidence” floating around, it was starting to feel bleak for poor Sasquatch, despite its long history of sightings, dating all the way back to ancient pictographs by native North Americans.

And then there was new analysis of the original print of the infamous Patterson/Gimlin film. The recent documentary from National Geographic in which this incredible film evidence is seriously tested can be seen here –

‘Bigfoot’ DNA Sequenced In Upcoming Genetics Study

Some of the most beautiful and convincing Bigfoot photos I’ve ever seen.

If you’re a subscriber: Coast To Coast Radio interview with researcher David Paulides in which he discusses some of the evidence and legends of Bigfoot. “Forensic drawings made from witness testimony have shown remarkable similarities, he noted. Pictographs of Bigfoot-like creatures on rocks by Native Americans date back 1,500 years, and Elders have said that their ancestors revered them as “caretakers of the woods,”…”

“Given that Tesla’s inventions generally possessed an element of social conscience, of doing good for humanity, it may seem surprising that he created a number of devices with military applications. And the notion of the Tesla harnessing his mind for purposes of war may seem immensely frightening. After all, this is the man who boasted that with his resonance generator he could split the earth in two… and no one was ever quite sure whether he was joking.

The first Tesla invention with a proposed military use was his automaton technology, with which the labor of human beings could be performed by machines. Specifically, Tesla produced remote-controlled boats and submarines. He demonstrated the wireless ship at an exposition in Madison Square Garden in 1898. The automaton apparatus was so advanced, it used a form of voice recognition to respond to the verbal commands of Tesla and volunteers from the audience.

In public, Tesla spoke only of the humanitarian virtues of the invention: it would lessen the toils and drudgery of mankind and keep human lives out of harm’s way. But Tesla actually had his hopes on a contract with the U.S. military…”

Sometimes I encounter a website that reminds me of a cabinet of curiosity – beautiful, exotic, mysterious, delicious for the eyes. This blog, Res Obscura, is one of these. Even better, it has its own post about actual cabinets of curiosity from the 17th century. These are some of the most visually luxurious images you will ever see….and it’s very interesting to learn the history behind these “Wonder-rooms”. Enjoy.

Cabinets of Curiosities in Seventeenth Century (Res Obscura)

“There is no man alone, because every man is a Microcosm, and carries the whole world about him… There is all Africa, and her prodigies in us.”- Sir Thomas Browne, Religio Medici, 1642

Early modern Europeans envisioned their own bodies as miniature worlds which echoed God’s Creation in every detail. And in the expansionist, acquisitive and globalizing era of the seventeenth century, the wonders of Creation frequently became conflated with the treasures of the tropical world that Europeans were busy exploiting. The physician and mystic philosopher (and favorite author of Virginia Woolf) Sir Thomas Browne opined that we all carry the “prodigies” of Africa within ourselves, while the poet John Donne famously wrote that “both th’ Indias of spice and mine…lie here with me.” The early modern curiosity cabinet (often called Kunstkammer or Wunderkammer, “Wonder-rooms”) stood at the intersection of this dual preoccupation with microcosms and the treasures of Africa and “the Indies.”…
