Space and stuff

Also, I don't have anywhere near the mental aptitude to go there.

I do know that new students who go there have to take a 3 day workshop that covered how to interact with females. Remember, the majority of people who go to Caltech are quite clever, but lack the social skills required to interact with the opposite sex.

We should do the same thing on here tbh........

The artist impression depicts a blue planet. I think we're in good company.

One light-week away from the Sun, so they didn't find out about the slip until May 4th, 2014.

Here is a pic I took a couple of years ago when I was there (its a nice little building, right in the middle of Pasadena)

I would recommend looking in to what the Sumerian and Babylonian astronomers actually knew and theorized. Much different.

Do you know any good resources? I'm just going by what I've read off certain sites with no idea wether their info is legit.

Strange that the relief above the door should be so similar to the egyptian representation of 'the aten' a symbol of one of the first known monotheistic gods.

It would seem that references to ancients gods is a bit of a theme at Caltech.

Meri-Aten: what are they, mum?
Nefertiti: Kopites, kid. They are why crocodiles exist.

It is, the Aten ,as in Ahkenaten the pharaoh, would reach down and touch/bless the people, depicted by emanating rays.

The creation legend is the Enuma Elish. It details the arrival or creation of the Annunaki.

Most of the akkadian texts are mixed up and its only theorised as to which order they should be, but the creation details tiamat, the apsu and the elevation of Marduk as chief deity, all allegedly representing celestial objects. A lot of the myth was adopted by nomads and became the basis for Zoroastrianism, Judaism and onwards.
