In #1933, a 90-ton stone with the #Ten-Commandments #engraved on it was found in #New-Mexico. There are only two problems - the inscriptions are in #ancient #Hebrew, and research has established the age of the inscriptions at 500-2000 years ago.

To suggest that a carrier of Hebrew came to ancient #Mexico before #Columbus is unrealistic, from the standpoint of official #history. The assumption that the #stone was brought already engraved to the American soil does not stand up to criticism: specialists have already confirmed that the #mineral is purely of #local #origin.

#COLANDERS AREN'T JUST FOR PASTA: Picture this: You just found out there's going to be a #solar eclipse and--oh no!--you can't find your #eclipse glasses. No problem. Just grab a colander. Steve Lee of Lovington, #New-Mexico, held one up to the sky on Oct 14th and created two hundred tiny images of the #eclipsed #sun:

Colanders make excellent eclipse projectors. Each hole in the pasta strainer acts like a pinhole camera, beaming an image of the sun onto any convenient screen. It's like an insect with compound eyes--an insect that did not lose its eclipse glasses.

The images on Lee's sidewalk look like donuts because that's how the sun looked at the time. An #annular eclipse was underway, with the #Moon dead-center in front of the #solar disk.
