  • The Joker and the Academic // Google Mapsioso
    2022/06/08
    The mysterious Shugborough Inscription, which has baffled scholars for centuries, may have finally been decoded. The inscription, which consists of a series of letters and symbols, is located on a 18th-century monument in Staffordshire, England. One theory is that it is a code that leads to the location of the Holy Grail. However, the most likely explanation is that it is a masonic code that has yet to be cracked. Italian police say they were able to catch a mafia member with the help of Google Maps. The police were looking for the man in a remote area of Sicily and were able to find him by looking at the Google Maps images of the area. - https://www.thevintagenews.com/2017/05/22/the-200-year-old-code-of-the-shugborough-inscription-may-have-been-cracked - https://www.ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/shugborough-inscription-002232 - https://thenextweb.com/news/italian-police-say-google-maps-helped-them-catch-a-mafia-member

  • Physics is So Classical // Other Cities Hate Macchu Picchu for this!
    2022/05/18
    According to a physicist, the entire universe may be one giant neural network. National Geographic claims there are many secrets about Machu Picchu that have yet to be discovered. For example, there may be a secret city hidden beneath the surface. According to a new study, the universe may be one giant neural network. This theory was proposed by a group of physicists who believe that the universe is made up of tiny particles that are constantly interacting with each other. This interaction is what allows the universe to store information and learn from it. The study also found that the universe is constantly growing and expanding, which is another sign that it is a living, breathing entity. ### - https://futurism.com/physicist-entire-universe-neural-network - https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/secrets - https://www.worldwildlife.org/blogs/good-nature-travel/posts/ten-interesting-facts-about-machu-picchu

  • The Spiteful Potato Chip // The Hanging Gardens of…. Ninevah?
    2022/04/20
    In 1853, chef George Crum was working in a Saratoga Springs, New York, restaurant when a customer, irritated by the thickness of his fried potatoes, sent them back to the kitchen. In a fit of pique, Crum sliced the potatoes wafer-thin, fried them and sent them back out. The customer loved them. And so were born potato chips. Stephanie Dalley, author of The Lost Gardens of Babylon, argues that the Hanging Gardens were in fact in the Assyrian city of Nineveh, not Babylon. She argues that the gardens were part of a series of gardens, including one at the palace of King Sennacherib in Nineveh. ### - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/curious-history-potato-chip-180979232/ - https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/the-lost-gardens-of-babylon-qa-with-dr-stephanie-dalley-tv-host-author-of-lost-gardens-of-babylon/1172/ - https://allthatsinteresting.com/hanging-gardens-of-babylon - https://www.history.com/.amp/news/hanging-gardens-existed-but-not-in-babylon
