T 1 - Titans - The Brahman Bull

 

I’ve been following a few of the guys and girls who have YouTube channels

devoted to revealing Hidden History.

 

This subject is fascinating, and I have already learnt so much.

 

On the subject of Titans, the creatures which attained huge sizes

in the early part of Earth’s history, I think I have found one,

if someone has not already noticed it.

 

These huge creatures included humans, animals and plants,

and many have been preserved in stone, some even being a mountain themselves.

 

I was interested to know if Uluru / Ayers Rock was a Titan, as I live in Australia.

So I was having a look on Google Maps with the satellite imagery on. This is it –

Apparently, the parallel lines can indicate longitudinal cross-section of either bone or wood, 

in very general terms. So, if Uluru / Ayers Rock is a preserved Titan, it could be either human, 

animal or plant.

 

In the days when tourists were chipping off a bit of the rock (the early 1970’s), a guy who had 

recently done just that showed me the piece that he had obtained. It was about    

4 cm  x  2 cm  x  2 cm    and looked to me to be green Moss Agate with a very thin, brown, 

outer crust layer of   1 - 2 mm    thick, with the little feathery black lines running through it, 

very similar to this one, though it was much smoother in appearance (raw, not polished) –

To me that would indicate something biological, at least.

 

 

So, undecided as to what it is, and still am, I looked in the surrounding area,

and zooming out, this is what I can see –

The place marked as    Mutitjulu    (above, and lower of the two names) is where 

Uluru  / Ayers Rock is.

 

There is a dark patterned area just to the NW. Zooming in, this is what it is –

Now, doesn’t that look like the whole head of a Brahman Bull, lying on it’s side ?

 

This is one example of the head of a Brahman Bull, today –

 

The rocky outcrop in the map above is Kata Tjuta / The Olgas –

And if they are a part of a Titan Bull, then they would be part of the Dewlap, 

the fold of excess skin under the jaws.

 

 

Also, to the second map image (above), East of Uluru  / Ayers Rock, there is a geological 

formation that looks like the eye of something huge. Zooming in, here it is –

 

The name of this feature is Mount Conner.

 

So, is another Titan buried here ?

 

 

I looked further afield, around all these features and can’t see anything very distinct. There 

appeared to be a couple of huge leaves of trees, and what looks like a bird’s foot. But, I’m 

finding them difficult to pinpoint again.

 

 

So, these are my observations up to now.

What do you think ?

A Garden Seat and more ...

Hi Guys,

 

I’ve been doing a few small home projects

and have the photos of them to put up,

but my camera software is being a bit weird

and I won’t be able to transfer them any time soon.

I don’t know how long it will take to resolve this issue.

So, it will have to be text only entries for now.

 

 

The things that I’ve done lately, are –

 

    Renovated  -  A Wooden Garden Seat

 

       Two Small, Wooden Folding Tables

 

    Cooked       -  Strawberry and Meringue Dessert with Rose Cream

 

    Knitted        -  A Black Cotton Summer Beret in a Spiral Pattern

 

 

 

Things are progressing steadily, here.

I’m doing a lot of trial and error in the cooking area, food and drink,

and that is coming along ok.

 

Things that I’ve been focussing on lately in this area, are -

 

    Basic Soups and Stews

 

    Basic Breads

 

    Basic Salads

 

    Coffee, Tea, Hot Chocolate and Chai Latte Strengths

 

 

 

It is well worth learning how to cook to some degree,

because that takes a lot of stress out of your life about where your next meal is coming from !!

I encourage anyone to do what they can.

And I support Jamie Oliver’s idea of cooking skills for whoever wants to learn.

 

 

Stay Safe Everyone.

Film - "Interview with the Vampire" (1994)

This is a pretty intense storyline,

just having to get around the

whole concept of vampires.

but it flowed very well.

So that suggests to me that

someone is very familiar with

the subject.

 

Anyway,

the opening sequence floats in to the

Port of San Francisco, turns left,

then heads up the street,

to a motel,where

the interview with the vampire

is underway.

 

As soon as I saw this,

I was polarised on to the film,

as there is exactly the same street plan

here at Coogee, Sydney, Australia.

As I don’t have a drone,

I can’t replicate the approach to the Port,

but, here you can see the ocean ,

and the way in to the “dock”.

Just from the side,

with a better view of the “dock”.

Turning around to see,

what I think could be the site

of an ancient landing pad,

and, the main street

going up into the distance.

Turning left at the road

behind the “landing pad”,

and heading up.

You come to this intersection.

There used to be a tram line

that ran past here.

 

The cream coloured building

houses apartments.

Here is a better look at it.

 

The style is the same idea,

as that of the building

depicted in the film.
