fact or fiction
Is it science fact or science fiction? Futurism presents both sides to determine the truth.
Summoned
Urug stares down at the lithe mage who had summoned him from the Place Beyond Places. Metallic dust had been set into an intricate circle and he’d roared out some incantations—a bit over-the-top in delivery, in Urug’s opinion. The next moment he’d found himself here: A dingy apartment with ancient shag carpet, a bunk bed whose lower mattress was now occupied by a number of dirty clothes, and a kitchen he didn’t even want to cast his gaze towards. Something was moving, he could swear.

The Nazis and the battle of the 'Weddell Sea'
Whether Adolf Hitler managed to escape Germany before May 1945 or, as the history books tell us, he committed suicide in his Berlin bunker on 30 April, Soviet leader Josef Stalin’s words of warning to British prime minister Winston Churchill and US president Harry Truman at the 1945 Potsdam conference that the German fuhrer could have slipped away to a secret Nazi fortress under Antarctica seems to have played on the minds of the Western allies.

Roswell and the secret Nazi flying discs
Once you start to explore the evidence regarding the possibility of extraterrestrial influences on the earth’s early civilisations it becomes very hard to dismiss the notion that ancient aliens could have played some part in our planet’s early development… however, it’s not that easy to accept that more than one species may have had a significant role to play in mankind’s history.

That triangle discovered by Ilaria in the starry sky: was it perhaps a UFO?
Ilaria Cicerale is an Apulian girl fresh from a three-year degree (congratulations and good continuation of her studies to complete her university career) who has the hobby of photographing the stars. On one of these summer evenings, however, he set something special. He noticed it a few days later, but the emotion was equally strong. I leave to his story the explanation of what it is about: let's say that there is ... the scent of UFOs, and that is why he asks the blog visitors for an opinion.

Decoding Ancient Egypt
This world and universe is so complex and infinite it has left me asking a question today what if? What if everything we have been taught since a young age is completely wrong? What if what we know only really barely scratches the surface of reality?

Set 1: Snow Tiger Marble was all we knew and all that we were. Gazing at my heavy fingers, barely a nick or scratch, and lumbering through my stone home I observed the very motionless knick-knacks on my shelves. Next door I could hear the laughter of my friend Jacob’s children who were a grey,glossy stone set he’d just recently carved with his partner Phineas. Smooth cheeks, wide smiles, and no matter how much they grinned, no wrinkles. My place, in contrast, had so little noise that the air had to ring, reminding me that sound still existed. While they were away on vacation, that was when I decided to pull out the old chisel and hammer to a slab of white marble striated with black that I’d been keeping for some time. From clouds of dust, chunks of heavy stone, I carefully shaped my new companion. She mewed at me (which was to be expected), but then she shook her body, shedding the stone as it flew everywhere across my flat. What happened next surprised me most: soft, white fur started growing on her and her eyes, no longer a solid white, became the color of the night sky. She playfully pounced on me, rubbing her cheeks against mine. Lighter than a feather for me, I could lift her easily but had to be careful how I held her. I was a heavy colossus, she hardly more than an ant. Vibrating with joy, she stayed close to me. I learned quickly that she couldn’t live off what was in our world. So I had to carve again a soft bed, animals she could hunt for food, and all the necessities.

Meet Nigerian Man Who Is the Richest Babalawo in the World (Photos).
Ever seen a rich Babalawo? Well, here you go. It is a general saying and standing joke now that there are no rich babalawos. The question many people have always asked, and rightfully so to is: if these babalawos are promising that they can make you rich or giving you millions and millions of naira, then how come they themselves are struggling? How come the babalawos promising all of these good fortune and riches are struggling themselves?

Could Nibiru be the elusive Planet X?
Having watched many episodes of the Ancient Aliens television series and read up on the theories of Russian-American author Zecharia Sitchin, I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt for the moment and accept the Anunnaki may have been an actual civilisation living on earth and mining for gold at the time of the Sumerian and Meso-American peoples.
