  Sirius the Star of the Maltese...

  Sirius, the Star of the Maltese Temples invites the reader to look at the megalithic temples of Malta in an entirely new way. The discovery of the temples’ orientation to Sirius explains with mathematical precision the slight shift in the direction of their axes, caused by the movement of the stars called the Precession of the Equinoxes. The resultant astronomical dating of the temples to the Mesolithic, the period immediately after the last Ice Age, is far older than mainstream archaeology maintains and is on a par with other megalithic sites elsewhere, including Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. These findings turn on its head our conception of the accomplishments of ancient people. Instead of being just primitive cave-dwellers, they were primeval astronomers, whose interest in the sky has left us a legacy we never dreamt existed. 
  From the Foreword by Giovanni Bonello: “This is a disturbing book. The author defines its contents as controversial and its conclusions as surprising. I judge it to be far, but far, more than that. It is disruptive of accepted wisdom and unsettles all we believe we knew of the origin of man in Malta, of the sequences of early civilization and the histories of prehistory – not in Malta alone, but throughout the whole of Europe. I started reading it in awe, at first with a deliberate effort at disbelief. By the time I was approaching the climax of the exposition, I ended as mesmerized as I was perplexed.”

  V FOR VENDETTA 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY JAMES MCTEIGUE 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  V for Vendetta is a dystopian political thriller set in a future totalitarian Britain, where a fascist regime controls the population. The story follows V, a masked anarchist vigilante seeking revenge against those who tortured him. With the help of Evey, a young woman he rescues, V orchestrates a campaign of resistance against the government. The film explores themes of oppression, freedom, and the power of the individual against authoritarian control. It delves into the ethical dilemmas of revolution and the cost of freedom, blending action with philosophical reflections on political tyranny and personal identity. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “In Valerie's (Natasha Wightman’s) flashback, there is a brief scene when she talks about meeting her lover while filming her movie. The movie crew that appeared in this scene was composed nearly entirely of the crew members for this movie.” 
    
  “In the comic, illustrator David Lloyd often subtly changed V’s Guy Fawkes mask to suit the mood or tone of a particular scene. The filmmakers considered designing several subtly different masks but decided to alter the shadows and lighting in post-production instead.” 
    
  “The scenes in the abandoned London Underground station were filmed at Aldwych, a Piccadilly line station that closed in 1994. The branch still has tracks and electricity, meaning trains can still operate.”

  Is That True Or Did You Hear It...

  What exactly is the purpose of the BBC nowadays - to entertain, educate and inform? But is that all? The broadcaster itself claims to be a fearless and independent provider of news tasked with ‘speaking truth to power’ – a true champion of the underdog. 
   
  However, as David Sedgwick reveals in his new book the reality is somewhat different: not only does the BBC diligently protect power from scrutiny, it attacks and attempts to discredit those who dare to challenge the status quo. 
   
  Formed in 1922 by the British establishment, the BBC has always been a reliable ally of ultra-wealthy and powerful interests. Indeed, the broadcaster occupies a pivotal position within an international corporate-political alliance which promotes only those narratives which consolidate the ‘global order.’ 
   
  Using multiple examples of BBC reporting, the author argues that the tax-payer funded broadcaster is a proxy which acts on behalf of a tiny, but very powerful clique - a role which compels it to pump out disinformation on an industrial scale, misleading all those who consume its content.
