Li Bai (Chinese 李白, Pinyin Lǐ Bái) (circa 701-762), who is also known by his courtesy name of Taibai (太白), was a Chinese poet acclaimed as one of the best and most important poets of the Tang dynasty, even the whole of Chinese poetry.
He and his friends such as Du Fu (712–770) were among the prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry of the Tang dynasty, often called the "Golden Age of Chinese Poetry." The expression "Three Wonders" denotes
Li Bai's poetry,
Pei Min's swordplay, and
Zhang Xu's calligraphy [1].
Around 1,000 poems attributed to Li are extant. His poems have been collected into the most important Tang dynasty collection, Heyue yingling ji [2], compiled in 753 by Yin Fan.
Thirty-four of Li Bai's poems are included in the anthology Three Hundred Tang Poems, which was first published in the 18th century [3].
Around the same time, translations of his poems began to appear in Europe. In Ezra Pound's famous work Cathay (1915), Li Bai's poems enjoy the lion's share (11 out of 19) [4]. Li Bai's poems became models for celebrating the pleasures of... More

This is why scientists are terrified of China's prehistoric mega structures and unexcavated pyramids
(Incredible Stories) In this chilling deep dive, we explore 20 massive ancient archeological sites across China that defy logic, challenge technology, and remain cloaked in silence.
From the impossible engineering of the Longyou Caves (formerly filled with water and only revealed when local villagers sought to drain them) to mysterious burial pyramids locked beneath military zones, these structures are more than relics. They're unsolved threats to our understanding of history.
Why are experts and Chinese authorities afraid to investigate further? What secrets are too dangerous to uncover? Watch now and find out what lies buried in China’s forbidden past.
The facade of the temple to Seti I, Abydos, Egypt, impossibly advanced technology (wiki)
.
(Funny Olde World) Premiered Aug. 20, 2023: Hey Hunters, let's go back to look at some scientific anomalies at the site of the Osirion Temple in Abydos, Egypt. Buckle up, friends. We're not in Kansas anymore.
The Osirion or Osireon is an ancient Egyptian temple. It is located to the rear of the Temple of Seti I. It is an integral part of Seti I's funeral complex and is built to resemble an 18th Dynasty Valley of the Kings tomb [24].
Helicopter hieroglyphs
The retouched and eroded hieroglyphs in the Temple of Seti I are said to represent modern vehicles -- a helicopter, a submarine, and a zeppelin or jet plane -- among other anomalies.
.
Some of the hieroglyphs carved over an arch on the site have been interpreted in esoteric and ufology circles as depicting modern technology.
The "helicopter" image is the result of carved stone being re-used over time. The initial carving was made during the reign of Seti I and translates to "He who repulses the nine [enemies of Egypt]."
This carving was later filled in with plaster and re-carved during the reign of Ramesses II with the title "He who protects Egypt and overthrows the foreign countries."
Over time, the plaster has eroded away, leaving both inscriptions partially visible and creating a palimpsest-like effect of overlapping hieroglyphs [25, 26]. See Helicopter hieroglyphs.
Graham Hancock: People don't know about amazing discovery inside China
(DB Business) Sept. 1, 2023: Graham Hancock proposes that the Great Wall of China, as well as other ancient megalithic structures found around the world, were not solely the result of human construction. They were influenced or guided by an advanced ancient civilization that predates known history. Hancock suggests that this advanced civilization [possibly extraterrestrial in origin] possessed sophisticated knowledge and technology that allowed them to [cut stone with laser precision and] build these monumental structures.

(DB Business) Graham Hancock proposes that the Great Wall of China, as well as other ancient megalithic structures found around the world (like the pyramids of Egypt, Mexico, and the Americas) were not solely the result of human construction but were influenced or guided by an advanced ancient civilization [of extraterrestrial visitors, rulers, occupiers] that predates known history.

Battle of the Boyne – 1690 – Williamite War in Ireland
(History Media-HD) The Battle of the Boyne was fought in 1690 between two rival claimants of the English, Scottish, and Irish thrones – the Catholic King James and the Protestant King William – across the River Boyne near Drogheda on the east coast of Ireland.
The battle, won by William, was a turning point in James's unsuccessful attempt to regain the crown and ultimately helped ensure the continuation of Protestant ascendancy in Ireland.
The battle took place on July 1, 1690, in the "old style" calendar. This was equivalent to July 11 in the "new style" calendar, although today its commemoration is held on July 12th.
William's forces defeated James's army of mostly raw recruits. The symbolic importance of this battle has made it one of the most remembered.
The Sumerian King List still puzzles historians after more than a century of research.
Out of the many incredible artifacts that have been recovered from sites in Iraq [formerly Mesopotamia, Babylon, "Western Asia"] where flourishing Sumerian cities once stood, few have been more intriguing that the Sumerian King List.
This list is an ancient manuscript originally recorded in the Sumerian language that lists the kings of Sumer (ancient Southern Iraq) from Sumerian and neighboring dynasties, their supposed reign lengths, and the locations of “official” kingship.
Were the Annunaki (Asuras, Titans) giants?
What makes this artifact so original is the fact that the list blends apparently mythical pre-dynastic rulers with historical rulers who are known to have existed.
The first fragment of this rare and unique text -- a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet -- was found in the early 1900s by German-American scholar Hermann Hilprecht at the site of ancient Nippur and published in 1906.
Since Hilprecht’s discovery at least 18 other exemplars of the king’s list have been found, most of them dating from the second half of the Isin Dynasty (circa 2017-1794 BCE).
No two of these documents are identical. However, there is enough common material in all versions of the list to make it clear that they are derived from a single, “ideal” account of Sumerian history.
Among all the examples of the Sumerian King List, the Weld-Blundell prism (shown at right) in the Ashmolean Museum cuneiform collection in Oxford, represents the most extensive version as well as the most complete copy of the King List.
The 8-inch-high prism contains four sides with two columns on each side. It is believed that it originally had a wooden spindle going through its center so that it could be rotated and read on all four sides.
It lists rulers from the antediluvian (“before the flood”) dynasties to the fourteenth ruler of the Isin Dynasty (circa 1763-1753 BCE).
The list is of immense value because it reflects very old traditions while at the same time providing an important chronological framework relating to the different periods of kingship in Sumeria. It also demonstrates remarkable parallels to accounts in Genesis [of the Judeo-Christian Bible].
The ancient civilization of Sumer
Sumer (sometimes called Sumeria), is the site of the earliest known civilization.
It is/was located in the southernmost part of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers, in the area that later became Babylonia and is now southern Iraq from around Baghdad to the Persian Gulf.
By the third millennium BCE, Sumer was the site of at least 12 separate city states:
Kish
Erech
Ur
Sippar
Akshak
Larak
Nippur
Adab
Umma
Lagash
Bad-tibira
Larsa.
Each of these states comprised a walled city and its surrounding villages and land, and each worshiped its own deity, whose temple was...
The Sumerian King List records that eight kings reigned before a great flood. After the Flood various city-states and their dynasties of kings temporarily gained power over the others.
Sumer’s mythical past
Cuneiform Sumerian clay tablet writing
The Sumerian King List begins with the very origin of kingship, which is seen as a divine institution: “the kingship had descended from heaven.” The rulers in the earliest dynasties are represented as reigning fantastically long periods:
“After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28,800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36,000 years. Two kings; they ruled for 64,800 years.”
Some of the rulers mentioned in the early list -- such as Etana, Lugal-banda, and Gilgamesh -- are mythical or legendary figures whose heroic feats are subjects of a series of Sumerian and Babylonian narrative compositions.... More
Zecharia Sitchin
Sitchin (July 11, 1920-October 9, 2010) was an Azerbaijani-born American author of books proposing an explanation for human origins involving ancient astronauts based on his translation of the Sumerian tablets.
He proposed many controversial translations, interpretations, and theories -- all, he said, based on the texts themselves. Some say he read more into them than was there, or they could not read and understand what he did.

"Mystery of the First Americans" (PBS.org) was uploaded because of a "firestorm of white guilt" that drove "MensRightsTV" (youtube.com) to promote three videos. Together they allegedly suggest that whites (Caucasoids/Europeans) were living in America before Native Americans (or at least before Siberian North Asians crossed the Bering Straits land bridge between the former USSR and the current USA).
(MensRightsTV) It always helps to have multiple documentaries to corroborate an issue. All three documentaries should be watched. [This is Number 2.] This is not meant to diminish the role of Native Americans. The real purpose of this video is to address a current issue: Massive immigration is being pushed by globalists who [allegedly] claim that white people in America should be displaced because we really do not belong here anyway. [Fear of] that is why this video has been uploaded. It is NOT meant to challenge the status of Native Americans/Indians. Here are a few keywords suggested by a recent comment: United States, Europe, Caucasian, France, America, documentary, history, culture, Kennewick Man, Ice Age Columbus, England, civil [racism, white privilege, implicit bias, conspiracy, PBS...]
In fact, bones dated to 50,000 before the present show aboriginal features or people we would label black. Native or indigenous Americans are constantly likened to Asians as if they have no other source or origin. The story is layered and complex and affected by off planet populations that mainstream science will not yet allow into the conversation.
There are the reds, the yellows, the blues, the pinks (whites), browns, the golden, the pale, sickly, the crepey skinned, the little people (many diminutive groups), the six-fingered, the red heads, the giants, those with two rows of teeth, those living inside the planet, those of us on the surface, earthlings on other planets, our descendants all over the place, the Denisovans, Neanderthals, Almas, yakshis (Yetis)and rakshasas, "bear people," wild men, nature guardians, hybrids, and those genetically manipulated from above.

Big Leshan Buddha, China
Human life, according to "forbidden anthropology" (e.g., see Michael Cremo, David Hatcher Childress, or Lloyd Pye), is exceedingly old, so much older than modern minds can conceive. The Buddha and others availing themselves of the mystical experiences open to us all, as well as communication with devas and other types of beings living alongside our ordinary human experience, know a story that is far more complex.
It does not fall into our neat categories. And our world is marred by European racism, modern guilt about it and push back because no one wants to feel guilty for crimes of ancestors. Fair answers will certainly not be coming from nearly all white crews working on Native American sites in search of "objectivity."
The implicit bias is painful to see, even as well meaning people are blind to their bias, assumptions, and lines of research they pursue. Until we get some kind of parity, some kind of representation, all we can hope for is rationalization on top of former rationalization, burying the past, selective interpretation of data, and a helpless ball of "more of the same."
Out of respect for the oppressed who suffer in very real ways under the weight of white privilege, police racism, court racism, scientific racism, and medical racism, we can only look to all sources of data and information, both that favorable to the powers that be and that which contradicts the consensus reality we live in.

Happy fish cannot see the water. Disturbed or very thoughtful fish may start to get a glimpse of it. Those serve can hardly be expected to sympathize with the servant classes, but they may in time become sensitized.
Wisdom Quarterly: American Buddhist Journal is not interested in giving in to white pressure to tell a pleasant story to ourselves. We want the truth, whatever that may be. It may color us in a bad light, and still we have to pursue it. Who would happily live in a self-serving delusion? There is such a thing as rebirth, and one does not get to come back as the same race, gender, caste, class, health, beauty, strength, longevity, and so on.
All of these are variables, and we cling to them when they favor our wishes and push back when they do not. (Karma is the reason for distinctions, so the need for wholesome deeds and merit cannot be overstated). We have to see that we are all in the same boat doing different things, suffering mightily under the authority of others.
And if and when we gain authority and without meaning to we oppress others. Why go on with this cycle when we can break it right now?
We can be fair and open right now, we can admit our faults and do all we can to treat people fairly, without bias, inclusively, learning from one another. For every genius, how many geniuses do we lose because we prejudge who can be a genius or in what way?
Women didn't used to be human. Nonwhites didn't used to count. Goodness knows, whites were mistreated.
Unknown to most of us, until recently there was no such thing as "white" then even when the notion came to be, who was in and who was out would shock us. (See, e.g., the work of professors Joy DeGruy, Michelle Alexander, or Gerald Horne). If we do not liberate ourselves (using the way of the Buddha or some other teaching that leads to freedom), who will liberate us?
