Around 5000 years ago, Sumerians, who lived in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), revolutionized how we perceive and measure time. They developed a sophisticated numerical system based on the number 60, known as the sexagesimal system. This unique system led to the division of an hour into 60 minutes and a minute into 60 seconds, concepts that are still in use today. Sumerians' need for precise timekeeping was driven by their agricultural society. Accurate calendars were essential for planting and harvesting crops. They also needed to coordinate their complex religious ceremonies and administrative activities. To aid their timekeeping, the Sumerians made significant advancements in astronomy. They observed the movements of celestial bodies and used this knowledge to create a lunar calendar with 12 months, which closely aligned with the agricultural seasons. The division of the day into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds was a monumental achievement. These divisions were not arbitrary but were designed to be practical and easily divisible, reflecting the Sumerians' advanced understanding of mathematics. This innovative approach to time had a profound impact on later civilizations, including the Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans, who adopted and further developed the Sumerian system. The legacy of the Sumerians' timekeeping system is evident in our modern clocks and calendars, demonstrating the enduring influence of their ingenuity on our daily lives.

Assyrian (gypsum-alabaster) Relief Panel (883–859 BC) - Iraq : This panel from the Northwest Palace at Nimrud (ancient Kalhu) depicts a winged supernatural figure. Such figures appear throughout the palace, sometimes flanking either the figure of the Assyrian king or a stylized "sacred tree." The reliefs were painted, but today almost none of the original pigment survives. However, the reliefs themselves retain incredible detail, including intricate incised designs on many of the figures’ clothing. The figure depicted on the panel is eagle-headed and faces left, holding in his left hand a bucket and in his right hand a cone whose exact nature is unclear. One suggestion has been that the gesture, sometimes performed by figures flanking a sacred tree, is symbolic of fertilization: the "cone" resembles the male date spathe used by Mesopotamian farmers to artificially fertilize female date-palm trees. It does seem likely that the cone was supposed to hold and dispense water from the bucket in this way, but it is described in Akkadian as a "purifier," and the fact that figures performing this gesture are also shown flanking the king suggests that some purifying or protective meaning is present. The figure is richly dressed, with jewelry including a collar whose front bead appears pomegranate-shaped, a further collar with pendant tassels, armlets, and bracelets, one artificially reversed so that the large central rosette symbols, associated with divinity and perhaps particularly with the goddess Ishtar, are visible on both. Although we cannot know how these elements were originally painted, excavated parallels include elaborate jewelry in gold, inlaid with semi-precious stones. The figure carries two knives, tucked into a belt with their handles visible at chest level. The figures are supernatural but do not represent any of the great gods. Rather, they are part of the vast supernatural population that for ancient Mesopotamians animated every aspect of the world. They appear as either eagle-headed or human-headed and wear a horned crown to indicate divinity. Both types of figure usually have wings. Because of their resemblance to groups of figurines buried under doorways for protection whose identities are known through ritual texts, it has been suggested that the figures in the palace reliefs represent the apkallu, wise sages from the distant past. This may indeed be one level of their symbolism, but protective figures of this kind are likely to have held multiple meanings and mythological connections. Figures such as this continued to be depicted in later Assyrian palaces, though less frequently. Only in the Northwest Palace do they form such a dominant feature of the relief program.

Ahmed Ali Alid, 45, an asylum seeker who claimed to be from Morocco, would have killed more people if he had not been cornered by armed police while seeking out more victims. He had attempted to kill his housemate Javed Nouri, 31, a Christian convert, then prowled the streets of Hartlepool until he came across Terence Carney, 70, stabbing him six times in the chest, abdomen and back. Alid was convicted of murder, attempted murder and assaulting two female police officers after he was detained following a trial at Teesside Crown Court. Passing sentence, the judge, Mrs Justice Chema-Grubb, said: "You attacked and murdered Terence Carney in a terrorist act. "You intended it as revenge for the actions of a foreign country, Israel, and to intimidate and influence the British government in its international relations. "You hoped to frighten the people of Britain and to undermine the freedoms they enjoy." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1x756kez28

Paedophiles In Parliament (2018) David Jason is the same as Jimmy Saville, and Cliff Richard. There was enough evidence to prosecute him following Jimmy Saville. Jimmy Saville whilst alive avoided prosecution because of connections (Title Sir etc) so too did Cliff Richard. David Jason is as bad as Jimmy Saville - now being outed - hence he is suddenly ill. For Cliff Richard connections you have only to follow Elm Guest House - London, the clients that used the facility, M16, MPS, Police etc and the young boys from the boys home abused. I call it the UKs Epstein Island. The fact that now David Jason is 'ill' speaks for itself, he is being outed - looking forward to his execution. https://youtu.be/PnZiDxkwgrU

Was passiert Deiner Meinung nach auf diesem Foto ? In Neuseeland wurden 1918 Inhalationskammern in öffentlichen Gebäuden installiert und die Menschen dazu ermutigt, ein Gas (Zinksulfat) einzuatmen, das sie vor Grippe schützen sollte. Ein interessantes Detail: Um die öffentliche Bahn nutzen zu können, musste man nachweisen, dass man sich in einer Inhalationskammer befunden hatte. Fazit: Die Leute wurden sehr krank und starben früher Interessant ist auch dazu, das genau dieses Land jetzt Zwangsimpfungen eingeführt hat. Also Menschen mit Gewalt impfen, passt zu diesen Mörder

@da_underlord Bolshevik jews created and administered the organized Soviet concentration camp system (Gulags) and were responsible for the deaths of over 60 million Russians, mostly Christians. Interestingly, during this period of mass murder and mayhem, jews were a protected class; the Bolshevik Party even took the unprecedented step of making expressions of anti-Semitism a counter-revolutionary offense, punishable by death.
