Eye of Horus is Actually a Mathematical Problem
The Eye of Horus is, from a design standpoint, both beautiful and iconic. And whoever created it might have been thinking of exactly that while dreaming it up. But it’s not just a stylish symbol. It has a deeper meaning: The Egyptians used it to express fractions of volume. Each stroke counts for a subdivided piece of the whole.
Doomsday Dreaming (PART 1 of 3)
History is littered with people seeing all sorts of things in their dreams that they might want to interpret in their own way. So much that we have we have prophecy after prophecy about the end of the world and still no real doomsday has arrived from these. With some of these people writing it down in books that we now read as religious texts, they spout off their predictions based on what is going on in the society around them.

Celebrating Conspiraporn’s 1000th Post!
In the year-and-a-half since CONSPIRAPORN was first launched, we’ve had a lot of informative and sexy posts, and 40,000 unique page views. While I haven’t done much updating to this site in the past 6 months due to personal issues and, well, you know, living life, I’m back in the full swing of things now and trying to keep the infotainment coming on a daily basis!
Sure I’d like there to be another 40,000+ page views in the very near future, and with a little work and dedication that can happen. In the meantime, the brand new KALEIDOSCOPE CONCEPTIONS is now up and running, dedicated to arts, music, literature and creativity from around the globe; so if you’re a patron of CONSPIRAPORN, I hope you’ll check it out and become a member.

“Kaleidoscope Conceptions” is Coming Soon…!
Just giving a sneak peek and heads up to the NEW WEBSITE which will be launched soon entitled KALEIDOSCOPE CONCEPTIONS. This will be a global community of artists, bands and musicians, graphic designers, writers, poets, photographers, film-makers, and craft workers.
We’ll also eventually be setting up a 24 hour streaming net radio station with music and podcasts from around the planet! It will serve as a network of inspiration, and community of (hopefully) like minded artistic types.
So, stay tuned! It’ll have all the bells and whistles and will be much more “professionally minded” than ye ol’ CONSPIRAPORN! here. Will keep y’all updated, it should be up and running in the next 10 days or so, knock on wood…

UPSIDEBACKWARDS.INFO
So, my website www.upsidebackwards.info is currently down due to domain name expiration from an old server I no longer use, with old emails I no longer use, old billing info I no longer use, and blah, blah, woof, woof…. Needless to say, at some point in time over the next few weeks the website will be back up and running, though possibly with a new name, not sure yet. The old place has been there for 8 years and has had like 10 million page views, with a ton of important and informative posts and topics, so it’s impossible to let it go just yet.

Digging Starts on Buried Stone Circle
Archaeologists have begun a major dig to unearth the hidden mysteries of a buried ancient stone circle site that is ten times bigger than Stonehenge. The enormous 4,000 year old Marden Henge, in Wiltshire, is Britain’s largest prehistoric structure stretching for 10.5 hectares.
English Heritage is carrying out a six-week dig hoping to reveal the secrets behind the giant henge which has baffled historians for centuries. Most of the Neolithic Marden Henge has been destroyed over the years due to farming and erosion but minor excavations estimate the site to between 2,000 and 2,400BC.
