  A new scientific study has suggested that aliens may have been on Earth in ancient times and that they may have created humanity. 
   
  The study, conducted by a team of international scientists, suggests that a group of aliens known as the ‘Anunnaki’ may have come to Earth around 4,000 years ago from the planet Nibiru. 
   
  The study claims that the aliens created humans by splicing their own DNA with that of apes. 
   
  The study has been met with scepticism by many scientists, who say that it is based on dubious evidence. 
   
  However, the team of scientists behind the study say that their evidence is ‘compelling’ and that the theory should be taken seriously. 
   
  So, what do you think? Were aliens on Earth in ancient times and did they create humanity? We’re about to find out.

  The Story of Bracknell - Before...

  Bracknell is well known for being one of the 'new towns' built after the Second World War to relieve the pressure of housing and industry in London – but the history of Bracknell goes back much further than that.
  Early hunter gatherers, Iron Age people and Romans have all called Bracknell their home. Hidden in the royal hunting ground of Windsor Forest for many centuries, the village began to develop with the arrival of the railway. Local brickyards expanded, their output being used in many important buildings, both in Britain and abroad.
  In The Story of Bracknell, local historian Andrew Radgick sets about uncovering this near-forgotten history, producing a treasure trove of original research from newspaper archives and photographic collections, to personal accounts from residents and examinations of traditional tales associated with the area.
  Bracknell has a unique history, and this is its story.

  Poetry Winner, 2025 International Firebird Book Awards 
  Former poet laureate of Belfast, Maine, Afrofuturist/Oro-shamanic poet and bass clarinetist Toussaint St. Negritude dazzles with this debut collection of poems, featuring an ensemble of cosmic tones the late Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks once called “full of sweet sounds and surprises.” 
  Through the inspiration of life, jazz, and nature, Mountain Spells is about the intrinsic clarity of emancipation, expressing all found intersections of what the author sees and experiences, and how this Black/queer/high-hat-wearing artist envisions the world through the lens of spirituality, the African diaspora, and nature as his home. Each poem, written in Vermont, expresses the whole cosmos of collective liberation.  
  “I listened to the birds, to the sky, what the leaves were telling me,” says St. Negritude, and captured it all in improvisational, freeform, and musical poetry, lovely and changing as the seasons themselves.

  Discover the Lost Secrets of the Ancients and the Time When Stones Floated High over Egypt   Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn't take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials?How Antigravity Built the Pyramids delves into specific stories and theories:• A 9th-century story of a mysterious papyrus with the power to move large stones at the Giza Necropolis • The Mayan story of the construction of the Pyramid of the Magician said to be overseen by a small humanoid who could whistle large stones into place • Native American stories of ancient priests being able to make stones light to move easily    Author Nick Redfern argues it was not literally music and whistling that somehow raised large stones, but both have one thing in common: sound. Acoustics. Almost certainly, acoustic levitation was at the heart of these incredible feats. The truth of the science behind acoustic levitation was lost and forgotten for ages with little more left than fanciful tales of music, whistles, a curious papyrus, and strange metal rods that could achieve incredible feats in the air. Today, we are finally starting to get a grasp on this incredible technology, a technology that may have been the work of ancient humans, aliens from faraway worlds—or, perhaps, a combination of the two.

  What was it like to be a child in England between the fifth and eleventh centuries?
  Who looked after children, how were they educated, what games did they play, and when did they have to take on adult responsibilities?
  What happened at birth, when were they weaned, what did they eat, how were they cared for, and how were they mourned if they died?
  In this ground-breaking book, Dr Sally Crawford teases out the world of the early medieval English child through a wide-ranging investigation of the archaeological, historical and literary evidence, including excavated cemeteries and settlements, medical texts, law codes and wills, annals, lives of the saints, and riddles, to paint a colourful picture of childhood in the Anglo-Saxon past.
