The ancient temples never disappeared, we just call them courthouses, city halls, libraries and other government buildings. People are unaware of what it taking place there spiritually in secret.
All of these different government buildings seem to carry hidden messages and it makes me wonder if they carry a hidden purpose and even origin.
This is the Lincoln Tower in Fort Wayne Indiana.
The male figure is the central figure in the second mural inside Lincoln Bank Tower, titled “The Diffusion of Energy.” According to the historical description, he represents the male principle in nature. The symbol above his head is called the Crux Ansata, an ancient Egyptian symbol associated with the ankh. The murals were designed by artist Glenn M Shaw for the building's original banking lobby.
What the male figure represents
The mural contains several allegorical figures representing different aspects of civilization and human activity:
Central male figure: Represents the male principle in nature.
Crux Ansata: The symbol above his head, an Egyptian cross with a loop, commonly called the ankh.
Commerce: Depicted with a globe and a winged caduceus.
Science: Shown with a retort, an instrument used in chemical experiments.
Labor: Depicted with a sledgehammer and anvil.
Justice: Shown with a palm.
Music: Represented by a lyre.
Education: Depicted as an older man with a scroll and a boy.
Architecture: Shown holding an Ionic capital.
The two sculptural figures superimposed on this mural represent Autumn and Winter, complementing Spring and Summer in the female mural opposite it.
If we consider the different details and try to map them on to a particular known mythologucal entity, the closest match would be Ra.
An interesting detail: The artist, Glenn M. Shaw, described the entire lobby's decorative scheme as an allegory of the sun's energy, using zodiac signs, golden rays, and Egyptian symbolism. The male figure is therefore part of a broader symbolic system connecting the sun, nature, the seasons, and human civilization.
The female mural is called “The Reception of Energy.” The central female figure represents the fertility or fecundity of the Earth. A triangle, or Greek letter Delta, above her head symbolizes the female principle in nature.
What makes this figure particularly interesting?
The historical description explicitly identifies three symbolic elements:
The female figure: Represents the fecundity of the Earth.
The triangle above her head: Represents the female principle in nature.
The surrounding solar imagery: Includes a golden sun disk, zodiac signs, and rays terminating in hands, which the artist described as symbols of the sun's energy.
The documented interpretation is an allegory of natural and solar energy, incorporating Egyptian and other ancient symbolism. The figure is not explicitly identified as a named goddess in the historical account.
If we consider the different details and try to map them on to a particular known mythologucal entity, the closest match would be Isis.

If you spent your teenage years hanging out at roller skating rinks in the late '80s, you KNOW this song was guaranteed to come on.
The second that beat hit, you knew exactly what time it was.

NEW: Joe Rogan and Dan Richards go deep on the Grand Canyon cave that a 1909 newspaper said held an underground city, and that you still cannot walk into:
ROGAN: “Right now you can’t go into the area. It’s ‘too dangerous,’ or it’s a Native American sacred site, depending on who you ask.”
“Get a tribal archaeology team, get some drones, and close the door on it.”
“If they really found a cavern for 50,000 people, with Egyptian hieroglyphs and mummies, do you think they would hide that?”
CONTEXT: The Arizona Gazette ran the story in April 1909. Explorer G.E. Kinkaid claimed a nearly inaccessible cave with hundreds of rooms, mummies, copper tools, and “oriental” or Egyptian-style artifacts. It named a Smithsonian-backed “Professor S.A. Jordan.”
No cave, notes, accession records, or Smithsonian expedition matching that claim have ever turned up. The Smithsonian has said it has no file on the discovery. Parts of the canyon are closed for safety, tribal land, or resource protection. That is not evidence of a buried Egyptian city.
The real question is narrower. Why not fly a drone over the spot the newspaper named and end it.

That towel move is a real physical therapy technique called a self SNAG, and the speed of the relief tells you something most people never learn about their own neck. Muscle tissue takes weeks of loading to actually lengthen. So when stiffness vanishes in a few seconds, the muscle was never what changed.
What changed is the signal your brain was sending to it.
The small facet joints stacked down the back of your neck sit at roughly a 45 degree angle. When one of them gets irritated or stops gliding smoothly, your brain protects it by clamping down the surrounding muscles. That clamp is the stiffness you feel. The tissue underneath is usually fine, it's just being held under orders.
The towel edge hooks under one vertebra. When you pull forward and up along that 45 degree joint plane while turning your head, you glide the joint through the exact motion it was refusing, with support the whole way. Your brain gets live evidence the movement is safe and drops the clamp. Physical therapists do the same glide with their thumbs and call it a SNAG, short for sustained natural apophyseal glide. Brian Mulligan, the New Zealand physio who developed the method in the 1980s, designed the towel version specifically so patients could run it on themselves at home.
Which is why years of stretching can lose to thirty seconds with a towel. A stretch tries to overpower the brain's grip. A glide convinces it to let go.
