Things like this is my theory for the conflict in this area. Don't forget the museums that were robbed. You and I may not know what's important in that area, but we can see the results of people searching sometimes.
In the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the Gaza Strip, an ancient Byzantine church, which has been reconstructed into a public meseum by the Hamas-run Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, has been opened. Established 1,700 years ago as a royal property, the emblematic church was uncovered in 1998 when Gazan workers were rebuilding a key highway that spans the entire Palestinian enclave from the north to the south, according to Nariman Khella, an official at the ministry, reported.
In addition to coins and pieces of pottery, graves of emperors and church goers were found at the site which was opened on Monday, Khella. The restoration of the historic church, however, had met numerous failures amid rounds of fighting between Israel and the Palestinian militants in Gaza, until Premiere Urgence, an international NGO, in 2018 launched, in partnership with the Palestinian cultural authorities, a funded programme that aims to preserve and promote cultural heritage in the Gaza Strip. "The programme assigned a group of students studying archaeology to the restoration work of the church. They restored and polished dozens of ancient mosaic portraits on the floor of the church," Khella said.
The experts also came to Gaza to train their local counterparts in managing and protecting the church before and after completion of its restoration. This church covers an area of 850 square metres and has a total of 400 mosaic images on the floor, said Jamal Abu Rida, another official at the ministry, hoping such archaeological sites could revive domestic tourism in the Gaza Strip which is considered an important regional trade corridor in history.
If calm would prevail in Gaza, foreign tourism could also revive, he added. "There is no doubt that Christians around the world love to visit their ancient churches and get to know their places, and we hope that will happen one day," the Palestinian official said. Home to more than 2 million people, the Israel-blockaded Gaza Strip is one of the oldest regions known to history as Arab merchants used to visit it for trade.
Globalism has some competition with ethics! The chip shortages weren't a thing when the permits here got started 8 years ago. I'm very curious to see how this plays out in comparison to Agenda 2030. The pictures on the article show landscapes we, are used to seeing in other countries, with negative ecological consequences far away. This endeavor brings jobs back to the US too.
the area’s most immediate draw was cobalt, a hard, silvery-gray metal used to make heat-resistant alloys for jet engines and, more recently, most of the lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. The Salmon-Challis sits atop what is known as the Idaho Cobalt Belt, a 34-mile-long geological formation of sedimentary rock that contains some of the largest cobalt deposits in the country. As the global market for lithium-ion batteries has grown—and the price of cobalt along with it—so has commercial interest in the belt. At least six mining companies have applied for permits from the U.S. Forest Service to operate in the region. Most of these companies are in the early stages of exploration; one has started to build a mine. In Idaho, as in much of the world, the clean-energy revolution is reshaping the geography of resource extraction.
Blackbird closed in the early 1980s after more than 30 years of intermittent operations. By then, the surrounding creeks were lifeless; heavy-metal pollution had killed off most of their fish and aquatic insects. The concentration of copper in one creek was so high that the water turned bright blue. (Copper is often found in the same areas as cobalt.) In 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed adding Blackbird to its National Priorities List, a designation reserved for the worst-contaminated sites in the country. Ultimately, the EPA negotiated a settlement with the companies that owned the mine. But the agency did label the mine as a Superfund site, initiating a cleanup that has so far cost the companies more than $100 million.
When I asked people in the cobalt industry about Blackbird, many pointed out that mining practices and regulatory oversight have improved in recent decades. But accidents can still happen. “Man is imperfect,” said Daniel Stone, a policy analyst for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, whose historic homeland covers the southern half of Idaho and large portions of bordering states. “Small flaws could lead to big problems down the road.” For Stone, those problems are deeply personal: Mining not only polluted the Shoshone-Bannock homeland but led to the forcible removal of Shoshone people from the area in the late 19th century. “It’s what some people would call historical trauma,” Stone said. “But I have a problem calling it historical trauma, because it never stopped.”
The majority of cobalt mined in the Congo is exported to China—84 percent in 2019. In a report on strategically important supply chains issued in June, the White House rated the nation’s cobalt supply more vulnerable than any other metal. Though the report raised supply concerns about other metals that are needed to make lithium-ion batteries, namely lithium and nickel, it described the cobalt market as “one of the most comprehensive ways China has gained a competitive advantage in the critical materials landscape for batteries.”
A researcher has made new claims about the historical journey of a centuries-old manuscript, widely considered one of the world’s most mysterious.
The Voynich manuscript is significant for having a unique, indecipherable script and colourful illustrations. Its authorship and purpose has been long debated.
Through carbon dating, researchers of the parchment has placed its origin in the 15th century. Scholars have traced its earliest ownership back to the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II, who bought it for 600 “ducats”, or gold coins, sometime between 1576 and 1612.
He follows the money. At the end of the article is this.
In 2019, Dr Gerard Cheshire, a linguistics research associate at the University of Bristol, claimed to have cracked the manuscript’s code in just a fortnight – despite academics such as Alan Turing and institutions such as the FBI never succeeding in the mission.
By studying symbols and their descriptions, Dr Cheshire said he discovered that the manuscript contains information on herbal remedies, therapeutic bathing and astrological readings about sex and reproduction, matters of the female mind, and parenting.
It was written in accordance with the Catholic and Roman pagan religious beliefs of Mediterranean Europeans at that time.
This entire page following is an interesting read. But this thread is about this specific paragraph.
According to James Casbolt the NSA has implemented a plan to track down the descendent's of the Nephilim or the lost "Tribe of Dan". Apparently they called this operation "Project Oaktree". This doesn't seem like a far fetched project for the NSA to take on due to the fact tracking and monitoring large groups of people is what this agency does.
But, I wasn't able to find a project oaktree anywhere. This topic always interests me, I had rhesus syndrom with my youngest son. It wasn't fun.

These questions came from the following older thread I read last week. I looked briefly, and then fell asleep. But, all the links both alive or dead were left open in my browser. I thought I'd share here since we recently had thread's about multiple topics that come up in the first link.

Have you guys seen this? It's a campaign blaming the people that dare to want to use 3rd party apps. Don't forget, most of them are gone. There's no defending about why 3rd party apps are just better. Nope. It's the exact same as the covid propaganda, but proreddit this time.

I had been temp banned at least 10x. I have no idea. Being permanently banned was great for my productivity.
For those of you that intend to go back. Download the Reddit app apk, and use an app like lucky patcher to remove all the bullshit. You may get lucky and someone will do it for you. Modded apk does not require root on android.
I don't know how to assist you on apple. Perhaps someone in the comments will.
