The Fedora Chronicles

It’s amazing what men can do when we set our minds to it, regardless of the century… I can’t imagine doing something like this without a fedora, though.

“An extraordinary archaeological discovery in Lombardy’s Stelvio National Park in Italy has revealed the highest rock engravings in Europe, etched into the glacier-polished rocks of Pizzo Tresero. These petroglyphs, located more than 3,000 meters above sea level, provide evidence of human activity in high-altitude mountain regions during the Middle Bronze Age, around 3,600 to 3,200 years ago.”

Breathtaking theory Stonehenge may have been part of a much larger structure dating back 4000 years.

••• More Neolithic Stone Circles Found on Dartmoor, May Form “Sacred Arc” - Endacott’s ongoing efforts to discover new stone circles in Dartmoor is part of a larger research project that is the focus of his doctoral dissertation. There is an impressive concentration of stone circles to be found all across Dartmoor, and Endacott’s theory is that many of them are part of an interconnected “sacred arc” of formations that represent a sacred landscape structure of huge dimensions, dating back to the Neolithic period. •••

Archaeologist Alan Endacott has devoted the last two decades to searching for new stone circles in Dartmoor, a vast stretch of relatively desolate moorland in the uplands of Devon in southern England.

I’m on the fence, should this sound effect be used in a movie or not?

“Ancient Aztec death whistles: the terrifying sounds and their psychological impact… these clay whistles not only terrified ancient listeners but also provoke a strong psychological and neural response in modern audiences.”

International Occult Day – November 18, 2024
"It’s a day to revel in the unknown and delve into the depths of the mysteries that surround us. It aims at looking in the shadows and at the stars to the unknown mystic world. The word occult has a Latin origin, where it means “hidden knowledge” or “the knowledge of the unknown.” The term ‘occult’ now refers to the practices related to mysticism, spirituality, and esoteric arts like alchemy, future sight, healing, supernatural gifts, and many more. Many religions and cultures have some occultic elements. We are dedicating Occult Day to better understanding such concepts."

Sounds epic, and it sounds like it belongs in a museum!

“Archaeologists have unearthed a remarkable 1,600-year-old pendant in the ancient city of Hadrianopolis, located in the Eskipazar district of Karabük, Turkey. This rare artifact, which dates back to the 5th century CE, features a depiction of the biblical and Islamic figure Solomon on horseback, spearing the Devil. On one side of the pendant, the inscription reads, “Our Lord has overcome evil,” while the reverse bears the names of the archangels Azrael, Gabriel, Michael, and Israfil.”

Huge news for all of us who are fans of Orson Wells’ Mercury Theatre work!

The Orson Welles Movie That Was Never Available on DVD — Until Now! "Journey Into Fear" was made at the height — and unfortunately, the end — of his most productive period as a studio filmmaker. It's been difficult to see, but a new Warner Archive Blu-ray rectifies that problem. Cotten plays an American engineer who gets swept up in a N**i plot and takes refuge on a vessel where he encounters a variety of colorful characters, all of whom are shot through claustrophobic framing devices that undoubtedly echo the visual language of Welles’ directorial work.”

'Journey Into Fear,' made right after 'Citizen Kane' and 'Magnificent Ambersons,' comes to physical media at last thanks to a Warner Archive Blu-ray.
