  Tiwanaku - The Mysterious...

  The ancient ruins of Tiwanaku have fascinated explorers, scholars, and travelers for centuries. Nestled on the altiplano of Bolivia near the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, Tiwanaku has been a site of mystery and intrigue since its rediscovery by European chroniclers. However, long before outsiders arrived, indigenous Andean communities revered the site as a sacred place, connecting it to their ancestors and the origins of civilization in the region. 
  Spanish chroniclers in the sixteenth century were among the first Europeans to record accounts of Tiwanaku. Conquistadors like Pedro Cieza de León described the ruins with awe, noting the massive stone blocks and intricate carvings scattered across the landscape. They speculated that such a monumental city could not have been built by the indigenous people they encountered, leading to myths of lost civilizations and supernatural origins. Some even believed that Tiwanaku predated the Great Flood, a theory influenced by biblical narratives. These early interpretations, though often misguided, helped cement Tiwanaku’s reputation as one of the most enigmatic ancient sites in the Americas. 
  During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, explorers and archaeologists began conducting more systematic investigations of Tiwanaku. Travelers such as Ephraim Squier and Arthur Posnansky documented the ruins extensively, producing sketches and maps that revealed the scale and complexity of the site. Posnansky, in particular, developed theories suggesting that Tiwanaku was over ten thousand years old, arguing that its architectural alignments reflected advanced astronomical knowledge. Though modern research has debunked these extreme claims, his work brought significant attention to Tiwanaku and laid the groundwork for future archaeological studies.

  Chapter 6 - Disconnect - Disconnect is about the psychological action of disconnecting from everything that influences you in a negative manner. To not listen to the thoughts and voices of others who begin to steer your life, but instead, to focus on what you want and what you believe in.  
   
  In short, it is the disconnection from outside influences, replaced with the connection to what's inside. 
   
  Author Bio: 
  Set on creating a worldwide movement and bridging the gap between mental health and EDM music. Open Boundaries looks at music as a piece of the mind, something that transgresses languages, borders and backgrounds, a form of emotive connection that lets people forget, love, release, bring joy, cry, and expose their inner selves. The music itself is a form of expression based on personal self-realizations, with each release being built from pieces of the artists mind and then encapsulated in hard hitting beats, melodic rap flows, highly relatable lyrics and heart-felt vocals, all blended together and realized into in 3 versions; including the exclusively unique 'Message Bound' mixes. 
   
  Each release is then supported by the storytelling within the release of the ‘Chapters’, which define the meaning behind each song. 
   
  The artist remains anonymous for the purposes of being all inclusive to every person out there, there is no connection to any country or any background with all the focus being on the music and the lyrics, rather than the person behind it. This has allowed Open Boundaries to attract a global reach and fanbase who proclaim their devotion to the artist, along with their unwavering support to the ethos behind it.

  Who would think that some of the oldest human remains found in North America would be found in Canada. This is on top of, or should I say beneath, the remains of Viking Settlements and even earlier Irish Settlements. Who else has visited Canada in the Past? You will have to listen to the book to find out. After all, Gardar, the seat of the Bishops in Greenland, with its own cathedral, was only 570 miles to the east of the Newfoundland coast. This is virtually a short boat trip to the Vikings. And what of the massive stone ruins found at Ungava Bay, well past the Arctic Circle. All these and more are in this book. I hope that you enjoy it.

  Deluge - Gaza and Israel from...

  In September 2023, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan boasted that the Middle East "is quieter today than it has been in two decades." One week later, unprecedented violence in Gaza and Israel shattered the status quo and shocked the world.
  Hamas's Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge punctured delusions of stability as hundreds of militants burst forth from the Gaza prison camp. In the ensuing carnage and firefights, 1,200 Israelis were killed and hundreds more taken hostage.
  Israel's retaliation turned the besieged enclave into a howling wasteland. Nearly 20,000 people were killed in two months, including more than 7,000 children, and over 60 percent of homes were damaged or destroyed. Israel targeted the wounded and infirm, newborns and near-dead, as Gaza's healthcare system—hospitals, clinics, ambulances, medical personnel—came under a systematic attack unprecedented in the annals of modern warfare.
  The Hamas massacre and the Israeli extermination campaign which followed together mark a historic turning point in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The reverberations have also shaken politics far beyond, not least in Europe and the United States, where gigantic, round-the-clock protests for Palestinian rights pitted politicians against the public and exposed a growing statist authoritarianism.
  In this groundbreaking book—the first published about the 2023 Gaza war—leading Palestinian, Israeli, and international authorities put these momentous developments in context and provide an initial taking-stock.
  Why did Hamas attack? What is Israel trying to achieve? Did this catastrophe have to happen? And is there a way forward? The book's expert contributors address these and other questions, which have never been more urgent.
