Invincible

The sun still sets over timeless ancient Egyptian sphinx and Giza pyramids on spring equinox, evidence of our potential to overcome impossible odds

My state has already issued a “15 Days to Slow the Spread” stay-at-home order so we all stay healthy. This is following New York, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio and Delaware. Kentucky is due to follow today. For the first time in human evolution our species is united against a common enemy. And in these dark days, there's still cause for hope. Around the planet there are approximately 100 million scientists, researchers, public servants and physicians working to kill The Virus. Science will win this war. But it is not worth losing our whole American way of life over this flu that we can all see statically doesn’t affect that many (there have only been less than 400 CV deaths). Thousands more die from overdosing, cars, etc but now our livelihoods are stopped. Let us hope this is all over soon and that in a few weeks we'll be up on our feet again. We cannot shut down the world for long without something going badly wrong. We can't do that with the country, especially the number one economy anywhere in the world by far. Our country wasn’t built to be shut down. This is not a country that was built for this. America will again and very soon be open for business. God Bless America.

Archeologist to stand trial for Fraud

Work at Gill's site at Iruña-Veleia in Spain

Eliso Gill, who found recognition for his archaeological work in Spain’s Basque region by claiming he’d discovered a unique connection between early Roman Christianity, Ancient Egyptian, and Basque cultures, is to stand trial accused of perpetrating a hoax. Gil claimed he had rewritten the history books, but instead now faces accusations that he lied about about artifacts recovered from a Roman settlement in Spain.
