What do you think about this?
In the sixth century BC, by the river Chebar in Babylon, a Hebrew prophet named Ezekiel had a vision. He wrote it down with the precision of someone who knew he was being asked to remember it exactly.
He saw a great cloud out of the north, with brightness around it and fire flashing from it. Inside the cloud were four living creatures, each with four faces, the face of a man, an eagle, a lion, and an ox. Above them was a crystal expanse, what he called a firmament. Below them, on the earth, was a wheel.
It was not one wheel. It was a wheel within a wheel, and its rims were full of eyes. The wheels moved with the creatures, lifting from the ground when they lifted, and the sound of them was like rushing water.
This is in the King James Bible, Ezekiel chapter one.
In 1974, a NASA engineer named Josef Blumrich, an Austrian who had worked on the Saturn V rocket, set out to debunk a popular reading that called Ezekiel’s wheel a spacecraft. He published a book called The Spaceships of Ezekiel. He had switched sides. He concluded the description was an engineering specification consistent with a vertical landing craft and helicopter style ground transport.
For three thousand years the prophets and the rabbis read Ezekiel as a vision of God. For fifty years a working aerospace engineer read the same passage as a technical drawing.
Could it be both readings are looking at exactly what Ezekiel saw, from different sides of an answer we have not figured out how to write yet?
What do you think about this? In 1715 a hurricane sank eleven Spanish treasure ships off Florida. In 2015 divers pulled up $4.5 million in gold coins from just 15 feet of water. The Queen’s jewels have never been found. Gone forever, or waiting for the right storm?
What do you think about this? Today is the equinox, and at Chichén Itzá a serpent of light will crawl down a pyramid built with 365 steps. Clap at its base and the echo chirps like the sacred quetzal bird. Brilliant engineering, or knowledge from somewhere older?
What do you think about this? Scans of Gunung Padang in Indonesia show hidden chambers deep inside the hill, and one team dated its oldest layers to 25,000 years ago. The study was retracted in 2024. The chambers have never been opened. Natural hill, or the oldest pyramid on Earth?
What do you think about this? Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 trance readings, all written down and still on file. He said proof of Atlantis would rise near Bimini in 1968. That year divers found a half mile road of giant stone blocks there. True seer, or lucky guess?
What do you think about this? Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky built a 500 foot tunnel just to move its dead out of sight of the living. It closed in 1961. Visitors still report a boy rolling a ball across empty floors. Restless spirits, or a dark building playing tricks on the mind?
What do you think about this? In 1891, a poor French priest named Bérenger Saunière began tearing up his church floor, then spent the next two decades funding lavish buildings on a stipend that should not have covered it. Real treasure, or a secret about how he ran his church?
