Volume 8

Revision 6
Foreword
In the past, things like
television,
and words and
ideas like
advertising, capitalism, microwave
and
cancer
all seemed too strange for the ordinary
man.
As man walks towards the future, overloaded with
information, more mysteries have been solved
through the wonders of science. Although some
things remained too odd for science to reproduce
or disprove, man had placed them in the gray
areas between
truth
and
skepticism
and labeled
them with terminologies fit for the modern age.
But the truth is, as long as the strange and
unexplainable cases keep piling up, the more likely
it would seem normal or natural. Answers are
always elusive and far too fewer than questions.
And yet, behind all the wonderful and frightening
phenomena around us, it is possible that what we
call
mysterious
today won’t be too strange
tomorrow.
This book might encourage you to believe or refute
what lies beyond your own understanding.
Nonetheless, I hope it will keep you entertained
and astonished.
The content of this book remains believable for as
long as the sources and/or the references from the
specified sources exist and that the validity of the
information remains unchallenged.
Amulets, Manuscripts,
and Artifacts
Uncover the mysteries of the amulets, ancient manuscripts and
artifacts.
Amulets
Some people believe that these objects have the power to ward off evil
and bad luck, and some could rid off certain maladies.
Cross
http://www.Wikipedia.org
A cross is a geometrical figure consisting of two lines or bars perpendicular to each other,
dividing one or two of the lines in half. The lines usually run vertically and horizontally; if they
run obliquely, the design is technically termed a saltire, although the arms of a saltire need
not meet at right angles.
The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and has been used by many religions,
most notably Christianity. It is frequently a representation of the division of the world into four
elements (Chevalier, 1997) or cardinal points, or alternately as the union of the concepts of
divinity, the vertical line, and the world, the horizontal line (Koch, 1955).
Etymology
The word cross comes ultimately from Latin crux, a Roman torture device used for crucifixion,
via Old Irish cros. The word was introduced to English in the 10th century as the term for the
instrument of the torturous execution of Jesus as described in the New Testament, gradually
replacing the earlier word rood.
History
1600 BC marble sacral cross from the Temple Repositories of
Knossos. (Heraclion Archaeological Museum, Greece)
It is not known when the first cross image was made; after
circles, crosses are one of the first symbols drawn by children of
all cultures. There are many cross-shaped incisions in European
cult caves, dating back to the earliest stages of human cultural
development in the stone age. Like other symbols from this
period, their use continued in the Celtic and Germanic cultures
in Europe. For example, Celtic coins minted many centuries
before the Christian era may have an entire side showing this
type of cross, sometimes with the cardinal points marked by
concave depressions in the same style as in stone age carvings.
Other coins may be showing the cross held by a rider on a horse
and springing a fern leaf, sometimes identified as a Tree of Life
symbol.

As of April 10, 2013, pictures of a possible contender for the first
use of the cross symbol has been found at the Tell Khaiber
excavation site in Ur, Iraq. The shape of one of the buildings,
believed to be about 4,000 years old, is in the shape of a cross
of the type used in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This would
predate the ancient Israelites Tabernacle in the wilderness and
the first two temples by about 800 years.
