What Are The 24 Black Granite Boxes For?

The question is, “What are the 24 black granite boxes for?”

Found 12 miles south of the Great Pyramid of Giza and buried within a hillside, 24 black granite boxes were found.

Each box made from one piece of granite weighs more than 100 tons.

Believed to be left on Earth by an alien race the function of these boxes are unclear, however they were cut with such precision that they would remain airtight for many millennia.

On each box hieroglyphics are displayed but are of such poor quality that it has been suggested that it’s graffiti?

However we know that these granite boxes were not created for the Kings and Queens of Egypt.

So who were they created for and if they are alien when will they return?

I Hate Bullies

I read the children’s book called, “Don’t be a Bully Billy.”

Written by Phil Roxbee Cox and illustrated by Jan McCafferty.

This children’s story is a cautionary tale about a bully called Billy. He makes all the children at school unhappy and sad.

Then one day a new kid arrives and Billy as usual bullies him taking away his ball which he refuses to give back, but that was until he meets the new kid’s big brother who I’d say is sort of out of this world!

I say hooray for the new kid.

Unfortunately bullies come in all shapes and sizes and can be found in all types of establishments and environments.

So if you’re worried about bullying, why not read this book or listen to the story on Youtube with your child then after you can calmly ask random questions about school, this way you may learn the truth.

What’s The Voynich Manuscript?

The question is, “What’s the Voynich Manuscript?

The Voynich Manuscript also known as Beinecke MS408 was written in a language that through the centuries has been unsuccessful to decode.

Although it’s an illustrated hand written codex with text written from left to right, it has an unknown writing system?

The vellum or parchment was carbon dated back to the 15th century.

It was named after Wilfrid Yoynich a Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912.

Many have tried unsuccessfully to decode this manuscript, but none have yet succeeded in deciphering the text.

Some believe that by unlocking the code written, the text could reveal buried treasure.

So could this be a treasure map of sorts, or is this the work of an author scribing his knowledge down on parchment?

What’s Under Your Bed?

I read the children’s book called, ‘There's an alligator under my bed,” the other day.

It's a delightful scary story that tells the tale of a little boy that has an alligator under his bed that only he can see.

Unable to sleep he devises a plan to rid the alligator from his bedroom, but will this create a problem for his parents?

To find out what happens next why don't you read the story or listen to it on YouTube, then you can tell me what you think.

What’s The Antikythera Mechanism?

The question is, “What’s the Antikythera Mechanism?”

In the 1900’s a device was found in a shipwreck near Greece that had a complex series of bronze gears that was recognised as an analogue computer.

Named the Antikythera Mechanism, it was created around 100BC before the modern understanding of astronomy and physics.

A wooden box that it was originally contained in showed instructions; the large dial displayed an Egyptian calendar as well as the Greek zodiac. This was thought to be used to calculate planetary positions.

During 100BC Dionysius Thrax published Art of Grammar, and Rome was dominating the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea; but with so much going on I’m not surprised that the technology didn’t advance.

However with all that said, I’m still surprised that this device was created around 100BC. The creator’s mindset must have been so advanced to design something that could calculate planetary positions.

My theory is that either the designer was not of this world or that they had alien knowledge or intervention.

As to just look up at the night sky and sketch out on paper all these wonderful planets would be truly remarkable, for how could all these different planets be seen with just the naked eye without using either a telescope or a spaceship?

But hey that’s just my view.

Expressive Feelings

I read the children’s book called, ‘The Way I Feel,’ the other afternoon.

This colourful children’s book was written and beautifully illustrated by Janan Cain.

It’s a delightful rhyming book for young children about feelings.

Words and pictures express how the character in the book feels when being either, silly, scared, happy, sad, angry, excited or proud.

It’s a lovely book that could help a child understand or express how they feel.

So why not read the book or watch the story on Youtube together and tell me how you feel?

It’s good to talk but it’s also great to listen.

And as childhood is special, remember the memories of it are never forgotten.
