Celebrating Halloween in 1886: A man dresses himself up as the king of billiards with his two sons dressed up as the 8 ball and the cue ball. In the 19th century, people used to pool together bets for horse races in special rooms called poolrooms. Billiard tables were installed in these rooms so patrons could pass the time between races. Naturally, the term "shooting pool" came to mean playing billiards. Moreover, the word "pool" in the context of gambling originates from the French word for chicken (poule) because it harkens back to a medieval French gambling game that involved throwing things at a chicken and the player who hit it would win.

The discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun in 1922 by Howard Carter and his archaeological team was highly significant due to the intact nature of the tomb. Entering the tomb, the team found four gilded shrines – one nested within the next in or der of decreasing size, much like Russian nesting dolls.   Inside of the innermost shrine were three coffins in the shape of a human body, painted with the likeness of the deceased pharaoh mummified within.

Ancient Technology from 200,000 Years Ago: The Advanced Neolithic civilization  Actually Developed Levitation Technology If you have the technology to raise the monolithic, enormous stones, kindly explore them and let me know. Even with today’s advanced cranes, we are unable to lift some of these enormous stones. If we can’t cultivate them, how did earlier civilizations do it? As vulcanian Spock would say, there is only one answer that makes sense: they did have some levitation technology. I’ve found during many years of research on the issue that the ancients had two ways of lifting such enormous stones.   Utilizing technology based on sound was the initial strategy. Since sound is essentially vibration, anything may be made to levitate by surrounding it with a very specific sound at a very specific frequency.
