Cracking the Maya Code

The story behind the centuries-long decipherment of ancient Maya hieroglyphs. This one-hour program is divided into five chapters. The Forgotten Maya Temples. In 1774, Spanish explorer Jose Calderon rediscovers the temples of Palenque and the ancient hieroglyphs of the Maya, a people whose culture was decimated by the Spanish conquistadors.

A Hidden History. Toiling away in the basement of Harvard’s Peabody Museum, archeologist Tatiana Proskouriakoff discovers that Maya monuments contain a decipherable history rather than mere pictures and symbols.

Political Roadblock. Working behind the Iron Curtain, Russian linguist Yuri Knorosov posits that Maya glyphs may represent sounds, but his ideas are discredited in the West.

Child’s Play. David Stuart submits his first scholarly paper on glyphs at age 12 and later becomes a major player in Maya studies with his advances in script decipherment.

Cultural Revelations. An image of the ancient Maya comes to life, and their descendants in modern-day Mexico and Central America begin to relearn their lost language and history.

Sir Martin Rees: Earth in its Final Century?

Astronomer, Sir Martin Rees gives a TED Talk presentation on the complexity of our universe. "The science of complexity is probably the greatest challenge of all, greater than that of the very small, on the left (picture), and the very large, on the right (picture). It is this science, which is not only enlightening our understanding of the biological world, but also transforming our world faster than ever, and more than that it is generating new kinds of change..." - Sir Martin Rees

Toward the First Revolution in the Mind Sciences

B. Alan Wallace, Ph.D. has been a scholar and practitioner of Buddhism since 1970. He is currently seeking ways to integrate Buddhist contemplative practices and Western science to advance the study of the mind. He is the founder and president of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies.

Galileo took a seminal role in launching the first revolution in the physical sciences, and a key element in this revolution was the rigorous, sophisticated observation of physical phenomena. Darwin likewise launched a revolution in the life sciences on the basis of decades of meticulous observation of biological phenomena. Although scientists have been studying the mind for more than a century, no comparable revolution has taken place in the mind sciences, and the missing element that may account for this delayed revolution is the absence of rigorous, precise observations of mental phenomena. By integrating the third-person methodologies of the cognitive sciences with the first-person methods for examining the mind that have been developed in Buddhism and other contemplative traditions, our present generation may bring about the first revolution in the mind sciences.

In this video, an explanation on the National Ignition Facility (the largest laser in the world) in Livermore, California is given. "We consider this a grand challenge of human kind, people have been thinking, how can you do fusion, how can you do fusion, when they were missing one little thing and that is lasers." - Ed Moses

The Venus Project

The Venus Project shows how, "Monetary-ism, so to speak, is the true mechanism that guides the interests of all the countries on the planet. The most aggressive, and hence the most dominant variation of this monetary-ism is the, free enterprise system. The fundamental perspective, as put forth by early free market economists, like Adam Smith, is that self interest and competition leads to social prosperity, as the act of competition creates incentive, which motivates people to persevere...".

"Governments try to perpetuate that which keeps them in power. People are not elected to political office to change things. They are put there to keep things the way they are. So you see, the basis of corruption is in our society. Let me make it clear, all nations are basically corrupt, cause they tend to uphold existing institutions. I don't mean to uphold or down grade all nations, but communism, socialism, fascism, the free enterprise system, and all other sub-cultures, are the same. They all are basically corrupt." - Jacque Fresco

Mysterious World - Ancient Wisdom

Discovery Science and Arthur C. Clarke ask the question, "Can it be that in the heart of this fragment, lost from a ship 2,000 years ago, lie hidden the cogwheels of the worlds first computer?". After many years of studying science, space, and writing, and building the first communications satellite, Arthur C. Clarke has come to the conclusion that, "A lot of rubbish has been written about mysterious knowledge possessed by the ancients. They didn't need any help from visitors from outerspace...".
