Infinity Fact

Most of the world’s  islands  are well-explored, their secrets learned long ago, but a few remain mysterious. Islands shown on maps for centuries suddenly appear to vanish. Dangerous, top secret facilities on remote islands are abandoned or destroyed. Sometimes, islands behave in ways seemingly inexplicable to those who discover or study them. An island seems to appear as if by magic, leaving experts to wonder what created it and how. Islands all but completely cut off from the rest of the world produce flora that are not only unique but also look as though they could grow only on an alien world. Other islands are mysterious because of their inhabitants’ origin or fate.

When most people hear the word cannibalism, they will likely imagine the literal consumption of human flesh by a fellow human. However, ritual cannibalism of the ancient world is something entirely different although no less intriguing, or indeed grim. 10 Fr Berenger Sauniere’s Death And Ceremony Perhaps the best place to start with our look at the claims of ritual cannibalism would be with the, strange unto itself, death of Berenger Saunier, a one-time poverty stricken priest who had taken over the small chapel at Rennes-le-Chateau in France in the early 1880s and suddenly became extremely wealthy seemingly out of nowhere and overnight.

Following an apparent confession from Sauniere, though, the priest refused to carry on and, unshriven, Sauniere died the next day...

Founded in 1832, this is the oldest society in the history of US. Membership is open to elite few. The society uses masonic rituals even today. Members of this society occupy virtually every seat of power, from the corridors of government to the boardrooms of Wall Street. Freemasons The Grand Masonic Lodge was created in 1717. Masons conduct their regular meetings in a ritualized style. Masons use signs and handshakes to gain admission to their meetings, as well as to identify themselves with other people who may be Masons.

Entered Apprentice, this makes you a basic member of the group. 2. Fellow Craft, this is an intermediate de...
