Historical Questions

It now appears that Christopher Columbus was Jewish, and wasn't from Genoa. What I think happened is that Genoa claimed him in an effort to compete with Venice. Genoa and Venice are today part of a united Italy but were once city-states in competition with each other. Venice managed to procure the bones of St. Mark from Egypt, who was adopted as the city's patron saint. This was likely inspired by Rome having the bones of St. Peter. So what Genoa did was to claim Columbus as it's own.

What do the economic crashes of 1907, 1929, 1987 and, 2008 have in common? They all occurred during the month of October. Since stock trading continues throughout the year, the odds of this being just a coincidence are 1 in 1,728. But why should this be the case? October is when the summer is gone but people have not yet gotten into the cheerful mood of the holiday season, and this affects the traders' mood. What if the central stock exchanges were located where the climate is pleasant year-round? Might economic crashes be avoidable.

Here is something that is a long shot but I think it deserves some consideration. The largest religious monument in the world is supposedly Angkor Wat, in Cambodia. It was built as a Hindu temple before later being converted to Buddhism. Unlike other Khmer temples, it is aligned to the west. Stories from Hindu scriptures are carved in stone but, unlike other temples, the story is told counter-clockwise, rather than clockwise. The arrangement of the towers in the temple matches the arrangement of the stars in the circumpolar constellation Draco, which circles the north star counterclockwise as the earth rotates. We saw in the first section of the compound posting "India And The West", December 2022, "Hinduism And Ancient Egypt", the similarity between the religion of ancient Egypt and modern Hinduism. The Hindu religion is the only one that cannot be traced to any founder and the idea has been around that it might have been brought from Egypt. Then we have that the arrangement of the three Pyramids of Giza, in Cairo, matches that of the belt of the constellation Orion. We saw this in "The Underground Orion Correlation Theory", March 2016. I realize that the Pyramids of Giza and Angkor Wat are far apart in both time and space, but is it possible that the unusual arrangement of Angkor Wat was inspired by the Pyramids?
