Meet the Brahmins of ancient Europe, the high caste of Celtic society

By PETER BERRESFORD ELLIS , 30 GRESLEY ROAD, LONDON, N19 3JZ, ENGLAND. Peter Berresford Ellis is one of the foremost living authorities on the Celts and author of many books on the subject, including "Celt and Roman," "Celt and Greek," "Dictionary of Celtic Mythology" and "Celtic Women." The Celtic people spread from their homeland in what is now Germany across Europe in the first millennium bce. Iron tools and weapons rendered them superior to their neighbors. They were also skilled farmers, road builders, traders and inventors of a fast two-wheeled chariot. They declined in the face of Roman, Germanic and Slavic ascendency by the second centuries bce. Here Peter Berresford Ellis, one of Europe's foremost experts of the Celts, explains how modern research has revealed the amazing similarities between ancient Celt and Vedic culture. The Celt's priestly caste, the Druids, has become a part of modern folklore. Their identity i

Origins of Vedism (Hinduism)

Hinduism defines itself as  Sanatana Dharma  meaning the ‘Universal and Eternal Tradition’. As a universal tradition, Hinduism cannot reject any aspect of human spirituality or striving to know the ultimate truth, which allows it not only to embrace religion and spirituality of all types but also to develop philosophy, art and science, even to accept a place for atheism as a stage in the development of human thought. Hinduism cannot be described as an organized religion. It is not founded by any individual.

The world’s biggest hotel stands along a wide sandy beach on the German island of RĂ¼gen in the Baltic Sea, a big hotel stretching three miles. It has 10,000 bedrooms and they the sea. The most surprising thing is that no guest has ever stayed in this hotel, yet it was built more 70years ago.  The reason is because the Prora beach resort was built between 1936 and 1939 by the Nazis on Hitler’s orders. The big project was never completed because during the same time Hitler was preparing for war, which he prioritized. This made the theatre, the eight housing blocks and cinema to stay as empty shells. Thus the swimming pools and festival hall never materialized   A lot of people from Hamburg took refuge in one of the housing blocks during the Allied bombing campaign Later After the war, the East German army used Prora as a military outpost. The buildings were empty since German reunification in 1990 Part of the Nazis’ “Strength through Joy” (“Kraft durch Freude,”

Fabulous experiments that could have Destroyed the World

Human curiosity and hunger for power has helped the humanity conquer many realms of previously unexplored territories but what if one major step taken in attempt to benefit the mankind might have gone wrong and led to the ultimate demise of mankind. The Kola Superdeep Borehole Located in the Arctic Circle within the far Northwest corner of Russia is the deepest hole ever drilled into the Earth’s crust. Soviet scientists began drilling in the 1970, eventually reaching a depth of 40,230 ft (12,626 m) in 1989. The Soviets wanted to drill through the Earth’s crust and then into the upper mantle but had to stop when the rocks at 1737 Celsius began flowing into the borehole, speculations were that the drilling might cause disastrous seismic activities and open the doors of hell. The Trinity Test Conducted as a part of the Manhattan project, this was one of the first atomic bombs to be tested which came with certain complications and fears. One of them being that the fission rea
