The Grail, Sinclair.

Posted September 7th, 2012 at 02:36 PM by AlpinLuke

In some modern versions of the myth of the Grail [Graal] the Sinclair family has been connected with this symbol in many ways.

Probably what is intriguing is that a member of this family has got historical interests and so he has written a work just about the symbol of the Grail during history.

Useless to ask him if his family preserves the Grail [as it's obvious].

Andrew Sinclair is graduated in American history at Cambridge [after studies at Oxford and Harvard]....

Bronze Age Italian commercial center

Posted August 30th, 2012 at 01:28 AM by AlpinLuke

The "Terramare" were a particular kind of civilization who flourished between 1,650 and 1,150 BCE [about] in the region which is today the last part of the river Po.

That region worked as a real commercial center of exchanges of goods coming from the north of Europe and heading to the Mediterranean region, up to Egypt.

The Terramare culture developed just thanks to these advantageous context. To protect this richness they built fortified settlements [the last...

Sinclair, from Orkney to Canada

A tale ...

In Nuova Scotia, Canada, there is a monument commemorating the travel of Prince Henry Sinclair [with the Italian Zeno] which would have reached Canadian coast in 1398, almost a century before Columbus's journey.

The monument has been erected by the Prince Henry Sinclair Society of North America, Inc, so that it's not a public official academic recognition of the expedition.

Now, we have to consider that the authenticity of the letters [written by...

Thought about the Exodus

Posted March 24th, 2012 at 01:26 AM by AlpinLuke

As for what I think about the Exodus, the long researches I run and the never-ending discussions on the net, with more or less learned net sailors, have persuaded me that the oral tradition transmitted by the Jews has got a real historical base.

But, which one?

The Habiru [the pr.w of the Egyptians, "Apiru"] were a system of communities and population with a nomad / semi-nomad style of life. They entered Egypt and they left Egypt [like Sumer] several times during...

Social networks in trouble

Posted March 22nd, 2012 at 07:43 AM by AlpinLuke

Quoting myself:

According to statistics the greatest social network ever is seeing a phenomenon which can endanger the entire business [at least that kind of business].

Users are deleting occasional contacts from the list of friends.

From 2009 to 2011 the percentage of deleted friends has passed from 56% to 63%, but considering the increase of the "virtual population" of the social network, this means the deletion from 158,000,000 contacts [2009]...
