This post is coming hot right after watching the ‘Into the unknown’ program of Discovery science channel . Timbuktu had a lot of gold mines and still does .It was during the reign of Mansa musa , the place flourished .It had so much gold . The unbelievable thing is that they exchange gold for salt (weight basis) . I was shocked to see that . One man exchanged a thick gold bracelet for small lemon shaped piece of salt crystal .Wow!! The next thing is that , the people there give importance to their heritage than anything else . The nomads have the habit of digging deep holes in the desert and bury the ancient manuscripts which are considered to be precious . “We have lost everything , our heritage is what we have left and we would never let anyone take it away ” - this is what came from everyone when questioned about the books . Really Amazing . Timbuktu’s defeat in the battle against the Moroccan ruler who intended to take all the gold to build huge structures , left Timbuktu in a very bad state . But still , the city is famous for its gold and its priceless heritage .
One of the world’s greatest scientists.He was an alchemist, a member of the Royal Society of London, a Rosicrucian, and he signed some of his most secretive science papers with a pseudonym — ‘Jeova Sanctus Unus’ ! which means “One True God”. He signed his name that way because, like the ancient Adepts, he understood himself as divine. In addition, because the sixteen letters in Jeova Sanctus Unus could be rearranged to spell his name in Latin, making it a perfect pseudonym. Jeova Sanctus Unus is an anagram of a famous alchemist’s name in Latin. Latin interchanges the letters J for I and the letter V for U, which means Jeova Sanctus Unus can actually be perfectly rearranged to spell this man’s name. Isaacus Neutonuus. Newton’s name had always been a recurring guidepost for those seeking secret knowledge. Great man and a brilliant one indeed!!!
