Pine cone yard. Stargate Pineal Gland!!! "bump" - a symbol !!! Ancient metal staples

The Courtyard of the Pine Cone, or Courtyard of Pinia, named after the huge pine cone made of bronze and decorating the area in front of the Belvedere Palace, is another attraction of the Vatican. Initially, the gilded bronze cone was placed on the Champ de Mars, but was moved to a new location in 1608. This unusual element, whose lower part is decorated with bas-reliefs depicting the athletes of Rome, acts as a fragment crowning an ancient fountain, on both sides of which there are figures of bronze peacocks, and in the center there is a bas-relief of a head exuding water.

Another architectural masterpiece of the courtyard is a grandiose spinning golden ball with a diameter of 4 meters and located in the very center of the square. Its author was the Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro in 1990. The master's idea was to reflect the current negativity that humanity brings to the world around. In the design of a large ball, symbolizing the universe with gaping faults and having a mirror surface, there is a small ball depicting our planet. This image captures the global processes that accompany the course of being on a planetary scale at a given point in time. The size of the composition shows the volume of the universe, and the people reflected in the ball are inextricably linked with life in it. Complementing the appearance of the square are 4 green lawns, stretched opposite each other along the palace walls.

The author of the landscape design of the courtyard was the founder and largest representative of the architecture of the High Renaissance - Donato Bramante. He connected the Vatican Palace with the small Belvedere Palace, rising on a hill, with a vast garden courtyard, and added a building with a central niche to the villa, which eventually became the Court of Pinia. Now, this place is considered one of the most charming in the Vatican, attracting the attention of many visitors who are fascinated by the unusual sculptural compositions.

BUT

So, in the previously reviewed images, there are two types of "bumps". One of them is placed on the ground or on a pedestal, as in the images with Asclepius, the other is crowned with a scepter-type instrument in the hands of Hermanubis. The difference is fundamental - in the first case, the "bump" is clearly "grounded" and its connection with the Earth is clear. In the second case, the "bump" is raised above the ground, and sometimes even provided with wings, so that the difference is more indicative. A curious detail - in many images the scepter is held not in the bare hand, but through the fabric. through the dielectric. As is done in many modern cults, when it is necessary to emphasize the special significance of a shrine, which cannot be touched with unworthy hands. Just like housewives take a hot frying pan through potholders. In this case, there is nothing to say about the sacredness of the action - it's just a safety precaution. A good electrician will not only put on rubber gloves, but also put a rug under his feet.

Images of "bumps" in the form of "decorative elements" can be seen on the walls of Christian churches and in their interiors. And not only Christians. She is everywhere. Cones are an important element of Christian iconography, included in the design of books, candlesticks and other ritual artifacts. And if you ask someone (someone who looks competent), you can hear many beautiful explanations about the fact that the pinecone symbolizes rebirth and fertility. This does not sound very convincing, since any fruit can serve as such a symbol - even an apple, even a cucumber. Yes, and Christ in his parables did not say anything about cones. The symbol is clearly pagan, and there is a clear reticence in the explanation so as not to confuse the laity.

The question naturally arises: - what kind of lump are they trying to show us from antiquity with such existential obsession?

… Are you grinning again, cynics?

Place of divination.

The interior of the Vatican Museum Complex is called the Giardino della Pigna, or Place of the Pine Cone, in honor of the multi-ton four-meter bronze statue representing a simple cone. In the courtyard, which was specially designed for her by architects, there was no place for the Life-Giving Cross, statues of the Virgin Mary, Christ or the apostles. The central and most important place of the entire architectural complex is occupied not by a Christian symbol, but by a cone - a pagan symbol. Why pagan? The cone was modeled and cast during the first century AD. The base bears the signature of the master who made the cone: Publius Cincius Calvius, a slave freedman. The former location of the cone is not exactly known - according to some sources, it is part of the former fountain, according to others - it was found in the ruins of the mausoleum of Hadrian or in the temple of Isis, which was located near the Pantheon - but, between -514 years. Pope Simmachus erected it on the square in front of the Basilica of St. Petra, then became a detail of the new fountain, and later took center stage on the plinth in front of the giant arch. The sculpture did not possess any special beauty, and at that time antiquity, and it is difficult to say why it was not melted down.

Bronze birds with snake necks, peacocks, were made during the last installation of the cone, in addition to it. And if we compare the image of a cone from the relief in Pompeii with this image, in order to find ten differences, we will see that the birds and snakes from Pompeii here chimerically merged into bird snakes. Two in one. Peacock, a bird is not unambiguous, as a symbol. Some Muslims consider the peacock to be the bird of the devil - but this refers more directly to the Peacock Angel (Tavusi Malak), which was worshiped by the Yezidis (Kurds who do not consider themselves Kurds). Since the Yezidis are not "people of the Book", it means that all their views, according to the logic of such Islamists, are satanic. In Hinduism, the peacock is used by the gods as a vehicle that is ridden and seen as the "sun". In Iran, peacocks standing on both sides of the Tree of Life signify dualism and the dual nature of man. Christians explain the appearance of the peacock in iconography by saying that it is a symbol of resurrection, since the peacock does not rot (?) and changes its feathers every spring. Like a snake skin, I will add. Later, the positive opinion about the peacock changed to the opposite - it became a sign of arrogance, arrogant pride, swagger and vanity - which does not go well with Christian values.

In the place of the square where Symmachus once placed the cone, now there is a sculpture “Sphere in a Sphere”, made by the Italian sculptor, Senor Pomodoro. Such a surname.

These two objects of the same size (4 meters) are almost next to each other, but each of them occupies the most significant place of all possible in the placement. It is difficult to say what dominates the area more, a bump or a sphere. Perhaps the shimmering gold sphere overshadows the copper patina of the cone. The sphere, as a cult object in the museum of antiquities, is an interesting move by the Vatican museum workers. But I think that the decision to put this object, alien in relation to the environment, was not made by them.

The inner sphere of the "Sphere within a sphere" is explained as the planet Earth in the cosmic sphere of Christianity. Perhaps there are other versions, but they are not given. Obviously, many agree with this interpretation, because in the spirit of the times: cool and glamorous, brilliant, but, strangely, why are there no questions why these spheres are gouged like the Death Star in the Star Wars saga? What is the strange stuffing in this mechanical orange? And what kind of passion did the Catholic fathers show for modernism, which they never got carried away with, preserving the traditions of the fathers of the Church?

The outer case of the device (and this is clearly some kind of technical unit) was blown apart by an explosion. The internal, durable hull also suffered. With all evidence, it was he who was the target of external destructive influence. Unless the saboteurs planted a bomb inside the system. The machine has been disabled. It is not subject to restoration, like the Kursk submarine. To complete the impression, there are not enough nearby debris.

This makes a very controversial impression against the background of the ancient marble gods with broken hands that were once raised around the perimeter of the square. Why THIS?

I will remind you of two things.

1. The Vatican is the sovereign territory of the Holy See and without the sanction of the Pontifical Committee, something contrary to the spirit of the Church cannot appear there.
2. The state got its name from the hill on which it stands - "Mons Vaticanus", from the Latin vaticinia - "place of divination"

Perhaps the hierarchs of the Church still had reasons to place these two objects in the most prominent places in the exposition?

"Stone that Whispers"

The lump that we see under the feet of Asclepius is an omphalos. In Greek - navel. The center of the world. Assemblage point. There are several legends explaining this meaning of the word. According to one of them, Zeus released two eagles from the western and eastern limits of the world to reveal the center of the planet, and marked the point of their meeting with a stone - an omphalos. According to other versions, the omphalus was the grave of the Delphic Serpent Python, and initially it was a tombstone that could serve as a point of contact between the world of the living and the dead, acting as the center of the universe.

In addition, there is evidence that the stone "fell from the sky", i.e. was a meteorite.

• This is the reference point from which lines diverge dividing the horizon into four parts.
• The stone arranges time and space.
• Omphal defines the center for a country, city, or locality. "Foundation stone"
• He is a symbolic reflection of the mind manifested in the physical world.
• With the help of this device, it was possible to communicate with heaven, (use for direct communication with the gods), as well as with other places on Earth.
• Under the "stones" there were underground cavities, chambers, wells and labyrinths.

Structurally, the omfal (of those that have come down to us) is a cone-shaped, conical, egg-shaped stone, about a meter in height, hollow, as a rule, inside. Middle photo - omphalos found on the island of Delos.

On the left is an omphalos from the archaeological museum at Delphi. This is a mass-dimensional model of the omphalo that was used in the sanctuary of Apollo. The conclusion follows from the fact that the real stone (according to the descriptions) was wrapped around bandages of fine linen anointed with oil, and that oil was absorbed (possibly with technical maintenance regulations) - and here we see a sculptural imitation of these "bandages". That is, at some time immemorial, the original, a real stone, was lost and replaced by a copy, its sculptural image, which is now shown to tourists. Or maybe not lost, but safely hidden. In any case, what we now see in museums are copies, imitations, and possibly “cases” for a device that once actually worked. The fact that the stone "worked" is confirmed by numerous reviews of authoritative visitors to the oracle and its widest fame in the ancient world.

The Delphic oracle was completely destroyed in the 4th century. from R.H. by order of Emperor Theodosius, even now it is even difficult to say where the “stone” was in reality. This provides rich opportunities for discussions on this topic in modern historical science. Scientists are concerned with the question: was the ancient omphalos placed in the cella of the temple, in the pronaos, in the room for the questioners, in the opisthodom, or in front of the entrance? The question of what the omfal was like remains beyond discussion.

The Delphic stone had a "double", which was located in the temple of Amun in the Siwa oasis. There is evidence that between these two points there was a connection, such as the current long-distance. Let me remind you that this was the location of the oracle, to which Alexander the Great rushed to consult as soon as he arrived in Egypt - there he received a prediction that he would become a pharaoh. Siwa Oasis is located on the border with Libya. Siwa is an interesting place. In 525 BC. the Persian king Cambyses, after the arrival of Egypt, sent 50 thousand soldiers to conquer Siwa, but they disappeared without a trace in the desert. Their mission was to bring down the Oracle in the Temple of Amun. This was told by ancient historians, and for a long time it was classified as a myth by modern scientists, until in 2009 the Italians dug up the bones of those Persian warriors and their equipment in the Libyan desert.

The campaign of Cambyses in Egypt looks rather strange - according to the descriptions of the Greeks, he was called "crazy". The eldest son of Cyrus the Great was only engaged in burning cities, destroying monuments, erasing names from sarcophagi. Herodotus wrote that Cambyses came to Sais solely to make a mockery of the mummy of Amasis. It is noted that when Cambyses conquered Egypt, he destroyed all the temples of the Egyptian gods, but did not touch the Jewish sanctuary, which already existed at Elephantine. It is unlikely that the weak Siwa could threaten the power of the Babylonian king in any way, and most likely Cambyses simply wanted to take possession of the “artifact” on his own, which “nature” opposed by slapping the army with a giant fly swatter from above and carefully covering it from the eyes with sand for two and a half thousand years .

Siwa was destroyed much later. The fate of the omphalos is unknown.

Now Siwa is clay ruins against the backdrop of the "Mountain of the Dead", between which the life of guides glimmers in some places. The once majestic temple of Amun looks similar.

According to the content of Pseudo-Callisthenes, a text that appeared several centuries after the death of the author, Alexander Callisthenes, (historian, nephew of Aristotle and official historiographer of Alexander) - the cone-shaped Libyan omphalos looked like a large shining gem. Perhaps another name comes from here, but rather an epithet - “stone of radiance”.

Herodotus wrote about two women who were stolen from Thebes by the Phoenicians. One of them was sold into slavery in Libya (in western Egypt), and the other in Greece. Women founded the first oracles in these countries. According to Herodotus, this version was told to him by a priest in Thebes. Later this story was modified into the myth of the two black doves.

“... But, besides, he was,

A stone that whispers;

Men will not know his messages

The people of the Earth will not understand…”

Perhaps because a woman is able to hear more than a man in this obscure whisper - this is how her brains are arranged. "Baba feels with her heart."

Undoubtedly, for this reason, the interpreters of the oracles at the temples where the "omphalos" were installed were priestesses, women. They were called "Sibyls". The origin of the word for researchers is unclear, quite freely it is translated as “the will of God”, from the filing and interpretation of Mark Terentius Varro. And it is strange that the version of the origin of the word "sibyl" from "Siva" is not considered. Which is quite obvious if you trace the sources.

Clement of Alexandria mentions that, according to ancient authors, the first Sibyl was the Delphic Phemonoia. In other sources, Pemonoia is called the Pythia. The Delphic Sibyl had another name - Herophilus (daughter of Zeus and Lamia). The name Sibyl, according to Pausanias, was given to her by the Libyans.

The Sibyls literally sat on omphalos, sat on them when they sang their predictions. Which later gave rise to some concerned art critics who revised many similar oriental images to turn the omphalos into a phallic symbol, especially since it sounds omphalos in Greek. Well, how can we manage without phalluses in our story, hussars ... But about them a little later, but for now let's look at this map.

We see that the services of soothsayers in the ancient world were in great demand. The texts mention 18 sibyls, named after their habitats. The most famous are Delphic, Eritrean and Kuma. Less so, such as the Jewish (Sab, Sabba, Sambetta), which is often associated with the Queen of Sheba, the Queen of Sheba. However, in assessing their number and names, ancient authors often disagree, since most of them were already called “ancient sibyls” by these ancient authors at that ancient time, and now it is hardly possible to restore everything with accuracy, although there were quite a few attempts to do this. .

Looking at these oracles from above, it is very tempting to stretch threads between them that connect the whispers of stones into a single network, such as a honeycomb. Moreover, this “network” with dots between intersections has already been drawn on some omphalos.

The drawings show Etruscan omphalos. In the "classic" version, this is a "bump" entwined with a snake. But there are also those with drawn lines, such as parallels and meridians. The omphalos here are similar in shape to the Delian and a snake is present. The stones once stood in their places on the ground, and then became objects of separate worship.

It must be said that the closer to our time, the more and more the form of the omphalo moved away from the “bump” - Roman omphalos have already lost their sacred meaning, overgrown with intricate patterns, turning simply into works of art, decorated with gold and precious stones, which at the last line was expressed in eggs Faberge.

The Etruscans, according to Plutarch, taught the Romans a lot, including the art of building "sacred centers". They were built on deep "wells" covered with stone - streets were laid from those points. The Etruscans called such points "Mundus". Universe. The Etruscans came from somewhere in the north, and where they learned this art is not known for certain. It was believed that among the Hyperboreans, whose location, despite the presence of fixed connections with the Mediterranean, was not determined.

According to legend, Romulus, at the foundation of the city, dug a deep pit, which connected with the entrance to the Kingdom of the Dead. Her name is Mundus Ceres. The sacred stone that covered the pit was called Lapis manalis, "The Stone That Rules."

Rome, ... a city standing at the entrance to the underworld ... well, who would have thought.

In general, if we consider in detail the device of such oracles, we will definitely find cavities, caves or dungeons under them, whether in Rome, Siwa, Delphi or ... Paris and London. In some cases, these are passages to the underworld, in others - the graves of chthonic creatures, like Python or Typhon, and in some cases, their habitat. And in all this, the duality is manifested in the question: what did the ancient people need more, in connection with heaven or earth? Who did you talk to using this communication system?

The scheme is pretty much the same everywhere:

Note - the image on the Egyptian fresco includes both birds and snakes.

Speaking about Paris, I did not say anything. Similar stones, like reference points, are dotted with the entire territory of Europe, and even Eurasia as a whole. Here are a couple of stones from Ireland:

On the left is a stone from a farm Turoe. The height is 90 cm. It was moved here in the 1850s from a place near the village of Rat, in order, as noted, to protect it from vandalism. And then they complain that the historical belonging to that place was destroyed. But some historians believe that the Irish themselves could not have conceived what was known about the "oracles" of ancient Europe and determine the origin of the stone as French. Like, in Celtic times, he was dragged along as a family heirloom. The manufacture of the stone dates back to about 500 BC. Naturally, everyone would like to know the location of the stone for which it was intended. But, (as in the vast majority of cases with similar artifacts), it is impossible to find out - they have long been removed from their places and moved. This I mean that the compilation of a grid map of the location of the "centers of the planet" based on modern data on the location of many such stones is speculative and inaccurate. However, gymnastics for the mind is not bad.

As for the carving on the stone, some believe that this is a primitive image of a map of the globe. Others, (uh, finally! Hussars rejoice!) think that this is a male penis, with a retracted foreskin, and spirals are streaks of sperm, calling this point of view "alternative". So they write in encyclopedias: “Alternatively it is seen as a phallus, the band below the glans representing the rolled foreskin, and the spirals possibly semen.”

Just imagine a picture of how, in Celtic times, adherents of family values ​​from France dragged a penis almost a ton in weight. Let's rejoice for them and for art scientists and move on.

The Castlestrange stone (pictured right) has not grown to the phallus, so its carving is determined by the traditional Irish "serpentine" stele. In Ireland, three more large stones of a similar shape are known, the purpose of which has not been determined by official science.

Separately, we note that these stones are considered the national treasure of Ireland and are protected by law. This is in contrast to our, Russian patterned stones in abundance scattered through forests and hillocks. If where paganism was so mercilessly suppressed, and its material traces were carefully erased, then this is Russia.

Symbol of fertility

Of course, in this brief review, one cannot remain silent about "lingams".

Lingam in Sanskrit means mark, sign. The most ancient Hindu samples are not much different from Egyptian, Greek or Asia Minor ones: they were modeled by carving a “cone” structurally similar to scales, served as geo-symbols and were explained by the image of the Eternal Unmanifested Para-Shiva manifested here. But over time and thanks to the richest imagination of the Indians, their shape became more and more elongated, and as a result, at the top of the lingam, a .. um .. head of the male penis appeared, initially with a hint, guessing - and then with a naturalistic revelation. Like, come on, sir.

The symbol was extremely liked by the Hindus and it was widely distributed, replicated in millions of copies, no longer remembering its real purpose, and interpreting it as "the indivisible unity of the male (Shiva) and female (Devi) principles, from the combination of which life comes." Which was expressed pictorially, and with all the Hindu spontaneity, in the combination of lingam and yoni. "Yoni" literally means "vagina". Womb, mother. At the same time, oddly enough, the Hindu yoni is an active principle. And the erect member is passive.

Art critics are taking revenge here. Well, yes - there are people who worship "phallic symbols". “Be fruitful and multiply”, why not? Fertility symbol. Good deal.

But all this is only indirectly related to our topic. So, sometimes you pull a thread, and you pull it out, um ... well, you understand.

Let's get back better from this erotic journey to the West.

Well, it’s clear that it’s unlikely that dads just love going to the forest so much in order to devote an entire area to a bump just for the sake of pleasant memories.

Here's what people think about it:

Pineal gland and third eye

The pineal gland, a pea-sized endocrine gland,

located in the geometric center of the brain, which fascinated many ancient cultures. Note the shape of the pine cone.

Technically, the pineal gland is not part of the brain and is not protected by the blood-brain barrier. It is located approximately in the geometric center of the mass of the brain, is hollow inside, filled with a fluid resembling water, and receives more blood than any other part of the body with the exception of the kidneys. Unprotected by the blood-brain barrier, the fluid within the pineal gland accumulates over time more and more mineral deposits, or "brain sand," which have optical and chemical properties similar to tooth enamel. On X-rays and MRIs, calcification looks like a bone mass in the center of the brain. Doctors use a solid white cluster to tell if you have a brain tumor. If the white spot moves to the side in the picture, they know that the tumor has changed the shape of the brain.

As I detailed in the documentary Mystery 2012, pine cones are striking in the sacred art and architecture of the whole world as a signrespect for the pineal gland. This truly amazing phenomenon has never been adequately explained. Christian article titledPagans love pinecones and use them in their art,shows many images confirming this position:

A bronze sculpture from the Dionysian Mystery Cult of the late Roman Empire shows a pinecone on the thumb, along with other strange symbols;

Statuette of a Mexican god holding pine cones and Christmas tree grooves;

The regalia of the Egyptian sun god Osiris, from a museum in Turin, Italy, includes two “kundalini serpents”; they coil around each other, rising to a pinecone at the top;

The Assyro-Babylonian winged god Tammuz is depicted holding a pine cone;

The Greek god Dionysus holds a regalia with a pine cone on top,
symbolizing fertility;

Bacchus, the Roman god of drunkenness and revelry, holds a regalia in the form of a pine cone;

The Catholic Pope carries a pinecone regalia just above the arm, then the cone expands into a stylized tree trunk;

Many Roman Catholic candlesticks, ornaments, sacred decorations, and architectural structures feature the pinecone as a key design element;

The largest sculpture of a pine cone in the world catches the eye in Vatican Square - in the Pine Cone Courtyard.

Pope Benedict XVI holding the papal regalia, apparently

symbolizing the ability to make contact

with higher intelligence through the pineal gland.

We'll get back to these amazing Catholic examples in a minute. In film Enigma 2012 year, I also pointed out that the golden funeral mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun depicts uraeus or the kundalini serpent emerging from the pineal region on the forehead. Buddha statues are often depicted with a third eye between the eyebrows as a raised circular area. It seems that the Buddha's hair is also stylized in the shape of the pineal gland. Almost all Hindu gods and goddesses have bindi or third eye between the eyebrows. Many Hindus wear this symbol to this day. The hair of the Hindu god Shiva also looks like a stylized pineal gland, and the kundalini snakes wrap around the neck.

After the release of the film Mystery 2012 I found a figurine of the Meso-American god Quetzalcoatl emerging from the mouth of a serpent, and the body of the serpent coiling into the exact shape of the pineal gland. In the same sculpture, Quetzalcoatl wears a necklace made from pine cones. And even better: energy waves flow into the pine cones from below. The serpent's mouth frames the face of Quetzalcoatl in the same way as can be seen on the helmet of a modern astronaut. Also, if you look at the images of the “Winged Serpent” in the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan, you can easily see multiple images of pine cones carved along the heads of the serpent.

Today I will continue, although not in great detail, a series of stories about the Vatican Museums.

I don’t want to upset you, but objectively speaking, no photographs and the most highly artistic texts full of rich metaphors, comparisons and superlatives can convey the fullness of sensations and delight from what they saw.

Sometimes, it seems that it was not a person who created it all! But, nevertheless, this set of ancient art, Renaissance masterpieces and modern works were created by human hands. This is the question of who in the universe was the greatest of the Creators ...

Enough dry thinking! Let's leave the papal garage and go to the pinecone square for a start.

Pine Cone Square was formed after the unification of the Belvedere Palace with the Vatican, which was carried out by Mr. Bramante. It will not be superfluous to mention that it was he who began the construction of St. Peter's Cathedral in its current form. But since the cathedral took 150 years to build, Bramante, as it should be for a normal person, did not live to see the ceremony, when the solemnly cut ribbons fell on the pavement at the entrance to the fresh cathedral. The square got its name from the ancient fountain, which is crowned with a giant pine cone - a symbol of the source of life according to ancient concepts:

In addition to the cone, the fountain is decorated with figures of lions, judging by the carved signs brought from Egypt, and figures of people brought from no one knows where.

In addition, the square keeps in its center a masterpiece of modern sculpture called “Sphere in a Sphere” or, more often, this example of creativity is called “The Globe”. It was created by Mr. Arnoldo Pomoddoro and symbolizes all the harmful influence of man on nature. A polished ball with a diameter of 4 meters rotates around its axis (if it is properly untwisted).

But as I said, with the perception of contemporary art, everything is pretty awkward for me. Therefore, I went to get acquainted with the reproductions of Michelangelo's works from the Sistine Chapel hung out on the square.

They are posted here for a reason. Since conversations are strictly prohibited inside the Sistine Chapel (a special person even works there, who, every 5-7 minutes, raises his finger to his lips and loudly pronounces Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh- as well, before being sent to her ward tourists describe in detail everything that tourists will see, talking about all the characters of the frescoes. Of course, the central work in the chapel is The Last Judgment, about the heroes of which I now want to say a few words.

The entire front wall is occupied by the aforementioned “Last Judgment”. In the center, of course, Jesus and the Virgin Mary. They are surrounded by saints and apostles. Above: angels with all the attributes and accessories of the passion of Christ: a crown of thorns, a cross, a scourging post.

Many saints and apostles are depicted with those items of medieval use, with the help of which they were killed in their time. So we can observe Saint Bartholomew, holding in his hands his own skin, which was torn off from him by pagan bastards. Michelangelo was a big joker. On this skin he placed his self-portrait. Well, at least I didn’t dance in the temple ...

Saint Catherine holds a frightening-looking toothed wheel. It was with such cute little things that she was torn apart by kind people. Saint Simon, who is next to her, was sawed alive with a saw in the Caucasus. St. Lawrence in Rome was roasted alive on a metal grill, hence he has it in his hands. The creative approach to executions in those days is striking in its monstrous ingenuity and some incredible cruelty. Although St. Sebastian was simply and without the usual ingenuity poked with arrows. Showed, so to speak, humanity. On the left, with his back to us, St. Andrew with the cross on which he was crucified. Peter is depicted as standard with the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Michelangelo did not provide the rest with pronounced attributes, although there were people there who were boiled alive and sent to the next world in other piquant ways, dear to the hearts of believers.

But it was not these cruel details that struck me personally. I can’t understand one thing: let Christ be depicted as a punishing judge, but why all of his entourage rejoice inexpressibly that they were honored with the kingdom of heaven, and meanwhile, before their eyes, most of the people go straight to hell. And Mr. Charon affably “loads” them with an oar over the hump.

I can't identify every character, and it's probably impossible. But in general, this gigantic fresco leaves a rather depressing impression.

More than biblical motifs, I was attracted by the technique and skill with which the frescoes were made. For example, standing even 1-2 meters from the wall on which the curtains are painted, you will never say that this is a drawing on a flat wall. You see a voluminous drapery in front of you, which you want to take and, holding out your hand, immediately open it.

In addition, the figures seated along the windows in the place where the wall passes into the ceiling are seen as three-dimensional figures in niches. And from which side you look at them, the perception of their volume is not lost. They are so masterfully done.

In general, the Sistine Chapel is the very world masterpiece, without seeing which with your own eyes you cannot die in peace. And to describe all the power and beauty of this room is not possible. I won't even try. No wonder it is used by the cardinals to hold a conclave here, the essence of which is the election of a new pope ...

And now I have to interrupt further through the halls and galleries of the Vatican Museums, since a lot of urgent business has arisen. But let me make a small announcement of all the wealth that I plan to present to you in the near future:

Belvedere hall with the famous Apollo:

Map gallery:

And also: antique sarcophagi, the chambers of the famous Pope Borgia, the frescoes of Raphael, the hall of modern art and, of course, the views from the dome of St. Peter's Cathedral and the interior of this great temple.

Thank you for your attention!
See you!

One interesting monument has been erected on one of the squares of the Vatican since ancient times.
On a pedestal two meters high flaunts .. a bump! An ordinary-looking spruce cone.
Why would it suddenly be in the regions where they did not even grow, such an honor to the bump, how to explain this?

Not all people know that the Vatican is a hidden office and the keeper of the biggest secrets of our civilization.

The local libraries store information that is not available to ordinary people.

But the biggest secret is brought to the square, for all to see, because someone wants to play a joke on people.

They are sure that no one will guess what that monument means.

This is a monument to the human pineal gland! It looks like a bump.

Once upon a time, someone remade it, disabled it, and now the human brain control center does not work. They blocked it!

An early man, with a normally working tonsil, had fabulous abilities. He could communicate at a distance without a telephone, could navigate the terrain without instruments and had good health. All this needed to be urgently reduced and left only the minimum functions sufficient for working in the mines. then parts of people changed genes, DNA and began to multiply and resettle them instead of all the originals killed in the most ruthless way.

For constant control over the minds of the unfortunate, they began to work in every possible way, they introduced religions. In the churches, they were preached the necessary attitudes towards obedience and humility with the role of slaves (of God).

Considerable harm to the pineal gland was brought by constant stress from unbearable living conditions, and thus it was put out of action.

Currently, its calcination continues by other methods and it is practically concreted.

Jokers from the Vatican put up that monument for us to show what kind of idiots we are. They specially raised it by two meters, to show its inaccessibility and painted it green to emphasize its underdevelopment.

It is guarded by two phoenix birds, which are known as satanic attributes. This is another clue .. about the author of the idea.

Below is the text supplementing the picture/monument:

Is fluoride bad for the pineal gland (3rd eye or intuition organ)? FDA registered sodium fluoride as rat poison!

Prior to 1990, tests were not conducted on the effect of fluoride on the pineal gland. The pineal gland or pineal gland is a small gland located between the two cerebral hemispheres.

Ancient philosophers, as well as the Saints of the East, believed that the pineal gland is the seat of the Soul. The pineal gland is the central point of interaction between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. It is the center of everything we do between the spiritual and physical planes. Awakening or activating this cell allows you to return to optimal health at all levels.

The pineal gland regulates the secretion of melatonin, the “youth” hormone that helps regulate the achievement of puberty and spiritual maturity. In turn, melatonin is produced by the pineal gland from serotonin, a substance that is clearly associated with the highest mental function of a person. Apparently, it is no coincidence that the enlightenment of consciousness requires the activation of the pineal gland; the Bo tree under which the Buddha sat was rich in serotonin.

But just as important is that the pineal gland is responsible for the immune system, it protects the body from the harmful effects that free radicals have on the brain when working properly.

One of the initiators of this study was physician Jennifer Luke from the University of Surrey in England. She proved that the pineal gland is the first to be attacked by fluoride. Also, according to the study, an excessive amount of this element at the level of the pineal gland leads to serious dysfunctions, causing early puberty and reducing the body's ability to fight free radicals.

Fluoride can cause genetic changes in the fetus during pregnancy, increasing the risk of cancer. A number of studies have shown that fluoride can cause bone cancer.

The worst thing is that almost no one pays attention to it. Think what would happen to the industry if studies were widely published that fluorine is toxic!

The most significant effect of fluorine compounds is on the thyroid gland. Fluorine, like iodine, is a halogen. From school, we know the “Halogen Substitution Rule”, which states that any halogen with a lower atomic weight replaces halogens with a higher atomic weight in compounds within its group. As is known from the periodic table, iodine has a greater atomic weight than fluorine. It replaces iodine in digestible compounds, thereby causing its deficiency. Chlorine, which is widely used for water purification, has the same properties, but it is less chemically active than fluorine.

According to studies by “bold” scientists, cases of thyroid diseases began to increase precisely from the beginning of the propaganda of the benefits of “fluorine”. The thyroid gland controls many metabolic processes in the body, violations of its work can have serious consequences for a person, among which fullness is far from the worst. After the popularization of fluoride in the USA, the population began to gain weight intensively, the relationship between these processes was also traced by apostate scientists.

Neutralization of the pineal gland can theoretically be carried out by a very strong effect of fluorine on it. Fluorine can destroy bones, teeth, and this same pineal gland. It's like he's concreted her.

Among the consequences of long-term use of fluorine are: cancer, genetic disorders of DNA, obesity, lowering of IQ, lethargy, Alzheimer's disease and several others.

If anyone does not know, fluoride is found in almost all toothpastes. And if someone does not remember, then according to the recommendations of doctors, teeth should be brushed twice a day. By the way, they say that it was fluorine that was used for mass mind control in Germany and the Soviet Union in the middle of the 20th century.

But the effect on the thyroid gland is not the worst harm that fluoride can cause. This element actively reacts with aluminum, which is still widely used in the manufacture of kitchen utensils. Reacting, fluorine and aluminum form aluminum fluoride, which is able to overcome the blood-brain barrier. The blood-brain barrier serves as protection for the brain, penetrating through it, aluminum fluoride is deposited in nerve cells. The consequences of the influence of aluminum fluoride on the brain can be catastrophic, it can cause dementia, a wide range of nervous and mental disorders. According to the same forbidden studies, since the popularization of fluoride, the number of cases of the disease

Alzheimer's increased significantly. It is not surprising that the United States, where fluoridation is used especially widely, is one of the leaders in the incidence of this disease.

Nowhere else is another aspect of brushing teeth noted.

How justified is the presence of abrasives in all toothpastes? After all, to scrub the enamel with sand means to rip it off in the shortest possible time.

Trying to whiten our teeth, we leave them defenseless (yellow), sensitive to everything and of little use.

Somewhere there was information that the Pineal gland produces enamel while it is healthy ..

There is already a full circle..
