The cryptic codes of ancient Africa are analysed in this technical publication to give insight about the development of the oldest calendar and the ancient science of astronomy. A proof of the Pythagorean Theorem is given, which suggests it might have originated as early as 4000 B.C.



Excerpt

A variation of the YELLOW RIVER DIAGRAM apparently arose in Central Africa. It was preserved in the ancient divination system, IFA. The Odu of Ifa was considered a very sacred image and is reminiscent of the mandala. It was made of a calabash and had a lid. It contained four shallow depressions or small vessels. One contained a little charcoal, another contained chalk, another contained camwood and the fourth contained a little mud. Mud is a type of "earth," charcoal is a type of burnt woor or carbon, (traditionally asociated with "fire"), camwood is a substance consisting of a certain percentage of "water" and chalk is a soft, porous metal. So the Odu of Ifa was a representation of the Egyptian diagram called the PRINCIPLE OF OPPOSITES

Virus X by Frank Ryan

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus

Darwin's Blind Spot by Frank Ryan

The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.
