Labour to Make Lentils Compulsory in School Dinners – and Ban Fish and Chips

 The world has gone mad. Now they are replacing traditional and staple British food for school kids with middle eastern yukky crap.

+++++++++++

Labour is to make lentils and chickpeas compulsory in school dinners and ban traditional fish and chips and other fried food in its latest killjoy move as headteachers warn the pricey health drive will lead staffing cuts. The Mail has more.

A new healthy eating diktat for school dinners could result in staffing cuts and further “divert money from teaching” as budgets are squeezed, headteachers warned today.

Schools across England will have to cut down on serving pupils sweetened baked desserts under the first new school food standards for more than a decade.

The desserts must contain or be served with fruit as part of the Department for Education’s sweeping overhaul aimed at tackling childhood obesity and tooth decay.

Sugary drinks and foods such as ice cream will also be restricted, while deep-fried foods are cut. Foods high in fat and salt such as pizzas will also have to be limited.

More fibrous wholegrains and pulses such as lentils and chickpeas will be required on menus alongside main meal options at least once a week – while a portion of vegetables or salad should accompany, or be incorporated into, every main meal.

But leaders have warned schools will need additional funding to comply with the new rules, given a kilogram of chicken nuggets costs the same as two chicken breasts.

Pepe Di’Iasio, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: “The current funding rate for free school meals is not enough to cover costs.

“Many schools have to divert money from teaching and learning in order to afford this vital provision. It is a case of having to rob Peter to pay Paul.”...<<<Read More>>>....

9/11’s True Legacy: The Constitutional Collapse Engineered by the Deep State

 Twenty-five years after al Qaeda's attacks on the United States, Patrick G. Eddington, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute and a former senior House staffer for then-New Jersey Democratic Rep. Rush Holt, published a retrospective on Antiwar.com arguing that the attacks themselves did not damage the American political system as much as the response to them did. In the article, titled "9/11's Aftereffect: The Constitutional Accountability Abyss," Eddington wrote that "9/11 didn't change us, we allowed it to change us, and in doing so critically damaged our very own political way of life." 

Eddington, the author of "The Triumph of Fear," drew on his experience serving on Capitol Hill during the final four years of President George W. Bush's administration. He wrote that he witnessed the post-9/11 era from the vantage point of a senior House staffer on the Intelligence Committee, where Holt's efforts to halt the expansion of surveillance programs frequently failed because colleagues refused to join....<<<Read More>>>...

Extreme experiment: Woman spends 500 days alone in a dark cave

 A year and half alone in a cave might sound like a nightmare to a lot of people, but Spanish athlete Beatriz Flamini emerged with a cheerful grin and said she thought she had more time to finish her book.

She had almost no contact with the outside world during her impressive feat of human endurance. For 500 days, she documented her experiences to help scientists understand the effects of extreme isolation.

One of the first things that became apparent on April 12 2023 when she emerged from the cave was how fluid time is, shaped more by your personality traits and the people around you than a ticking clock.

When talking to reporters about her experiences, Flamini explained she rapidly lost her sense of time.

The Moment You Realize This World Isn't Real

 

 

What if the world was built by an intelligence that eventually became mistaken for God? 

What if the deepest spiritual problem was never sin, failure, or separation from God? 

What if it was forgetting? 

In this Awakened Soul Archives transmission, we enter the Gnostic mystery of spiritual amnesia—the ancient idea that something within the human being belongs to a reality deeper than the visible world, yet becomes buried beneath identity, fear, distraction, desire, and survival. 

Eventually, we may forget that we ever forgot. 

And that may be the most powerful prison of all. 

There are moments when something inside you seems to recognize a truth your conscious mind cannot explain. 

A strange homesickness. 

A feeling that this world cannot possibly be the whole story. 

A quiet suspicion that beneath your personality, memories, fears, and conditioning, something ancient is still waiting to be remembered.

Choosing Happiness

 Our lives are rich with potential sources of happiness, but sometimes we become victims of negative thinking because we believe that focusing on all that has gone wrong will provide us with the motivation we need to face the challenges of survival. When we choose to focus on what brings us joy, however, a shift occurs in the fabric of our existence. Finding something to be happy about every single day can help this shift take place. The vantage points from which we view the world are brought into balance, and we can see that being alive truly is a gift to be savored. There is always something we can be happy about — it’s simply up to us to identify it.

On one day, we may find happiness in a momentous, life-changing event such as a marriage or the birth of a child. On another day, it could be the simple pleasure of a well-brewed cup of tea or the way the sun shines on a leaf. If we discover that we literally cannot call to mind a single happy element of our existence, we should examine the cause of the blockage standing between us and experiencing joy. Keeping a happiness journal is a wonderful way to catalog the delights unfolding all around us so that joy has myriad opportunities to manifest itself in our lives. Writing about the emotions we experience while contemplating joy may give us insight into the factors compelling us to resist it.

Happiness may not always come easily into your life. You have likely been conditioned to believe that the proper response to unmet expectations is one of sadness, anger, guilt, or fear. To make joy a fixture in your existence, you must first accept that it is within your power to choose happiness over unhappiness every single day. Then, each time you discover some new source of joy, the notion that the world is a happy place will find its way more deeply into your soul. On this day, find one thing to be happy about and let it fill your heart. (Daily OM)

Apple insists the new Apple Watch cannot be used for secret surveillance

 Apple has moved quickly to insist that its latest wearable cannot be turned into a hidden listening device, after unveiling a conversation-recall tool that immediately raised privacy alarms. According to a report from Macworld, the Apple Watch Series 12, revealed at the Surprise and Shine event on Wednesday, brings relatively modest hardware updates but a notable software addition called Live Rewind.

Live Rewind is launched with a double-press of the Digital Crown and shows the previous 15 seconds of a conversation as text on the watch face. The capability is meant to help when a wearer misses a remark and cannot easily ask for it to be repeated. Its existence, however, implies the watch is continuously capturing nearby speech, often without others knowing.

Apple says users cannot secretly tap that audio stream. The company states that activation produces an unmistakable chime that cannot be turned off, along with a full-screen animation. Even the required double-press, Apple argues, makes the action visible to people nearby....<<<Read More>>>...

Climate Alarmists Are Making False Claims to Derail Approval of Jackdaw and Rosebank

 Both the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields have had a chequered history. Both were discovered in the mid-2000s and were initially approved for development in 2023 and 2022, respectively. But the approvals were overturned in 2025 because the Government had not taken into account the Scope 3 emissions arising from burning the hydrocarbons once they had been extracted.

Previous Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has described the decision to issue a development licence to Rosebank as “climate vandalism.” But now new Prime Minister Andy Burnham and new Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh have vowed to take a more “pragmatic” approach to the North Sea. The decision to approve both fields has allegedly been pushed back to this month because of the “optics” of approving new oil and gas licences during a heatwave. Stop press: the decision might now be postponed beyond the Holborn and St Pancras by-election because of pressure from the Greens.

Sensing weakness in the Government, the green industrial complex has ramped up the rhetoric with the Guardian claiming a new analysis calculated that £119 billion to £336 billion of economic damage would be caused by burning the hydrocarbons produced by Rosebank and Jackdaw, or £170–483 billion under a high production scenario.

Nutmeg: A spice with a touch of wellness

 Nutmeg, derived from the Myristica fragrans tree, originated in the Spice Islands of Indonesia and has been valued for centuries for its culinary and therapeutic properties. Its trade was highly competitive, with the Dutch and British vying for control.

It is now cultivated in tropical regions like Indonesia and Grenada. The process involves drying the seed to produce the familiar spice, with both the seed and its covering, mace, utilized in cooking and traditional medicine.

Nutmeg is rich in antioxidants like myristicin, which combat free radicals. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, supports brain health, aids digestion, improves skin texture and may help manage blood sugar levels and reduce stress.

It is available in various forms as a supplement, including capsules, tablets and liquid extracts. It is recommended to start with small doses, around 100- 200 mg daily, and choose high-quality, organic products.

The spice's benefits extend beyond culinary use, encompassing traditional medicine, skincare and modern health trends, making it a versatile and valuable ingredient in both food and wellness applications.

Nutmeg, a beloved spice with a rich history, is making waves in the wellness world as more people discover its numerous health benefits. Derived from the seed of the Myristica fragrans tree, nutmeg has long been prized not only for its culinary uses but also for its therapeutic properties.

Hidden CIA document detailing potential cure for cancer declassified after 60 years

Agency faces furious backlash

A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.

The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors.

The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.

The research also highlighted experiments showing that certain chemical compounds were capable of targeting both parasitic infections and malignant tumors.

One drug, Myracyl D, was reportedly effective against bilharzia parasites as well as cancerous growths, hinting that treatments developed for parasites might also attack tumors.

Other compounds were found to interfere with nucleic acid production, a process essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.

Experiments on mice even showed that tumor tissues reacted differently to certain chemicals than normal tissues, further reinforcing the perceived biochemical overlap between parasites and cancers.

Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.

'The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,' one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.

Another X user said: 'The CIA knew from 1951 that cancer was parasites.'...<<<Read More>>>...

Cedarwood: The timeless essential oil for holistic health

 Cedarwood essential oil, extracted from cedrus atlantica, is highly valued for its therapeutic properties and benefits to physical and mental well-being.

With roots in ancient civilizations, cedarwood oil is typically extracted through steam distillation from the heartwood of the cedar tree, offering a potent, woody scent and therapeutic benefits.

Cedarwood oil boasts antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-stress properties. It can be used to treat infections, reduce inflammation, alleviate stress and improve respiratory and skin health.

Widely available in health stores and online, cedarwood essential oil is primarily used topically or in aromatherapy. Internal use should be avoided unless advised by a healthcare professional.

For safe use, adhere to recommended dosages: topical application (two to three drops mixed with carrier oil), diffusion (five to 10 drops), or aromatherapy (three to five drops). Always perform a patch test before topical use.

Essential oils have long been revered for their therapeutic properties and profound impact on our physical and mental well-being. Among these, cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) stands out as a powerful ally in promoting health and balance. With a rich history and diverse array of benefits, cedarwood essential oil is a must-have in any wellness arsenal.

In 536 AD, The World Went Dark for 18 Months — They Buried It From Every History Book

 

 

In 536 AD, the sun vanished. Volcanic ash blocked the sky, temperatures collapsed, and a 124-year climate catastrophe erased civilizations on four continents. This is the worst year in human history, and most people have never heard of it. The Dark Ages weren't vague. They had a start date, a cause, and a body count. 

 

In 538 AD, a Roman statesman named Cassiodorus wrote a letter describing blue sun, no shadows at noon, and seasons that had collapsed into one long winter. Historians dismissed him for fourteen centuries. Then in the 1990s, a scientist in Ireland cut into an ancient oak tree, and the rings confirmed everything. Cassiodorus had been telling the truth. 

 

Ice cores drilled from a Swiss glacier revealed the chemical fingerprint: a massive Icelandic eruption in 536, followed by two more in 540 and 547. Three eruptions in eleven years. Summer temperatures dropped by over five degrees. China recorded summer snow. Ireland went three years without bread. Gold couldn't buy grain. The coldest decade in 2,300 years had begun. 

 

Five years after the sky darkened, the Justinian Plague arrived. Yersinia pestis, the same bacterium behind the Black Death, tore through a world already weakened by famine. At its peak, thousands died daily in Constantinople alone. Justinian's dream of reunifying Rome died with them. 

 

In Mexico, the people of Teotihuacan burned their own temples. In Scandinavia, half the population vanished and elites buried gold hoards in the ground, not as treasure but as prayers for the sun to return. After the catastrophe, the sun symbol disappeared from Scandinavian art entirely. 

 

Researchers now argue these events directly inspired the Norse myths of Fimbulwinter and Ragnarök. 

 

The Late Antique Little Ice Age lasted 124 years, reshaped every civilization on Earth, and did not receive a name until 2016. The evidence is peer-reviewed, ice-core confirmed, and tree-ring corroborated. The question isn't what happened. It's why a catastrophe this well-documented stayed invisible for so long, and what else in the historical record has been dismissed as exaggeration because the truth didn't fit.

Microsoft Adds Age Verification System to Windows

 The age-check machinery is coming to Windows, and Microsoft has already handed developers the playbook even though the system itself remains switched off.

According to a report from Reclaim The Net: Free Speech, Privacy, Digital Rights, the company has published developer instructions for an application programming interface that is not yet live. Once activated, the API will let Windows 11 apps learn a user’s age bracket and whether that age has been confirmed by an identity provider.

The brackets are blunt: under 10, 10 to 12, 13 to 15, 16 to 17, and 18 and over. Verification status arrives as one of five results — Verified, Unverified, OptedOut, TemporarilyUnavailable, or NotApplicable.

Microsoft has not named the identity providers that will carry out these checks, nor has it said what proof they will demand. The company states only that the second value returned by the interface will show “whether the user’s age has been independently verified by the identity provider.”

Redmond presents the tool as a privacy safeguard, a way for apps to learn an age range without receiving a date of birth or other personal details. Microsoft describes it as a privacy-preserving mechanism meant to help developers satisfy child-safety rules. The same report argues that legislation demanding this kind of technology in operating systems is really about making age checks, and the identity checks that follow, a routine feature of digital life.

An age signal does not hand over a user’s exact age. It instead lets an app change content, features, or access based on the reported range and verification status. Microsoft lists uses that include user-generated content, social and communication tools, in-app purchases, virtual currencies, and maturity-rated media.

The interface is still dormant. Microsoft says it will not return usable data until it is turned on later in the year and is releasing the documentation now so developers can prepare. Anyone who calls the API today will be told the user’s age is unknown and that verification is unavailable.....<<<Read More>>>...

Twenty-five years of “temporary”: how 9/11 built a surveillance state Americans never voted for

 

  The towers fell in a single morning, but the government that rose from the rubble never stopped growing. A quarter-century after September 11, 2001, the emergency measures that the federal government swore were only temporary have calcified into a permanent architecture -- an alphabet soup of agencies, a legal doctrine of pre-emption, and a surveillance apparatus so pervasive that privacy has become less a right than a nostalgic memory.

What began as a promise to hunt down nineteen hijackers metastasized into a standing machinery for watching, cataloguing, and controlling the American public itself. The uncomfortable truth, twenty-five years on, is that the terrorists succeeded in one respect the history books rarely admit: they goaded the United States into dismantling pieces of its own constitutional order, and the country did the rest of the work willingly.....<<<Read More>>>....

Assisted Suicide Bill Falls

The assisted suicide bill has been voted down by MPs by 270 votes to 286 in a major blow to supporters of changing the law. The Telegraph has more.

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was opposed by 270 votes to 286 in the Commons on Friday afternoon, following a five-hour debate.

MPs had voted in favour of the assisted dying bill last year when it was introduced by Kim Leadbeater, only for the legislation to run out of time in the Lords.

On Friday, Lauren Edwards, a backbench Labour MP, introduced a near-identical bill, in the hope of allowing adults in England and Wales with less than six months to live to seek medical assistance to end their lives.

But now it has been rejected by MPs, supporters of assisted dying could find themselves waiting years for another chance to change the law.

Two former Labour health ministers used the Commons debate to urge their colleagues to vote down the proposals.

Leaving the Earth a Better Place

 We inherit this great planet from our parents and the generations before them. Then, in concert with the surrounding culture, our elders teach us how to care for the land and the sea, ourselves and each other. They model ways of being in relationship with every other expression of life on earth. But whether they act with care or carelessness, compassion or cruelty, generosity or greed, we have the ability to choose our own way of relating with the planet and her inhabitants. From our first breath here to our very last, we will find infinite opportunities to influence our environment for the better. We can decide now to act with intention in order to leave this amazing planet brighter and more beautiful than when we arrived.

If we enjoy environmental activism, we might feel moved to clean up beaches or to plant trees. But we needn’t feel limited in our ability to contribute positively. There are many ways to leave a legacy of love. We might begin by radiating affirmative thoughts and feelings about how magnificent the earth truly is. We could create and tend a special garden, one that provides an abundance of food and herbs for ourselves and our loved ones, or one filled with sweet-smelling flowers to uplift our hearts. We may even honor the earth simply by trying to be the best person we can be while we are here. Such good will can have a domino effect, inspiring others to contribute in their own way.

We spend our lifetimes being nourished and enlivened by the rain, sun, soil, and wind. Our experience is blessed by other living beings, from plants and insects to birds and humans. We receive so much; giving back just naturally feels good. When we live our lives with the intention of leaving this temporary home a better place for generations to come, we are perhaps leaving behind the best gift of all. (Daily OM)

Britain’s Speech Police: How the State Learned to Fear its People

 With 62,000 people arrested for speech crimes in five years, the UK can no longer claim to be a free society, says Paul Birch. The state has learned to fear its people and will no longer tolerate them speaking freely.

Many of us in Britain still flatter ourselves that we live in a free country. Although the UK isn’t quite a police state (not yet anyway), neither is it a country in which the individual can any longer speak without glancing over his or her shoulder. The old compact of a liberal society was simple – the state punished genuine criminality, while opinion was left to the rough justice of argument, satire and public disagreement.

That compact has now been comprehensively torn up. Across Britain, speech that would once have been answered by rebuttal or humour is now treated as a matter for police, regulators and secretive Whitehall machinery. A report published this week by civil liberties and privacy campaigning organisation Big Brother Watch states that more than 62,000 people in the United Kingdom were arrested for communications offences over a five year period, with at least 18,500 charged and 12,292 convicted.

The Diesel Crisis Is Here: What the Gaslighters Won’t Tell You

 Just recently, the average price for a gallon of diesel fuel in San Francisco surpassed $8, marking the first time any U.S. city has ever crossed that threshold. The corporate media will tell you this is a temporary blip, a seasonal fluctuation, or perhaps the result of an unforeseen geopolitical hiccup. But I've been reporting on the deliberate dismantling of America's energy independence for over two decades, and I can tell you with certainty: this is not bad luck. This is the engineered outcome of policies designed by central planners who view affordable fuel as a threat to their control over the population.

Diesel is the lifeblood of the American economy. It powers the trucks that deliver food to your grocery store, the tractors that plant and harvest your crops, and the generators that keep hospitals and data centers running. When diesel prices skyrocket, everything else follows -- food, medicine, clothing, and shelter.

The gaslighters in Washington and the mainstream media want you to believe that you're imagining the pain at the pump. They'll point to complex global supply chains and vague references to "market forces" as if these forces exist in nature rather than being manufactured by human decisions. But the truth is far more sinister. As JPMorgan's senior global economist Nora Szentivanyi warned in a report titled "Food Security Is National Security: A Compounding Storm," disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz and other critical chokepoints are converging to create a global food crisis that could erupt as early as next year.

This message was reiterated by Chancellor John Healey when in a speech made on September 7th he proclaimed: “Good growth in every postcode. Hope in every heart.” Healey resolutely declined to respond to questions from the press regarding future tax rises.  Perhaps an honest answer would have been at odds with putting hope in anybody’s heart.

Protective Light in Dark Times

 There are times when we know of someone who is in great need and wants help, but we may feel at a loss about how best to assist them. It is in these moments that we can ask for help in surrounding the person with support and protection. Whether this means turning to an already established community, such as a service organization, or gathering support from diverse sources, a group of people can be brought together to help an individual or an entire community. It doesn’t always take money to help someone either — cooking, cleaning, driving, fundraising, or offering emotional support are all valuable and have the added benefit of the human touch. In any case, the universe sends angels in the form of willing friends or strangers to surround those in need with the warmth of compassion.

Some people may have difficulty accepting or even recognizing aid when it appears in unexpected guises, from unlikely sources. All we can do is follow our inner guidance, give when we are moved to do so, and shine our light to the best of our ability. As we join our energy with those in the circle, we become part of something that is larger and more powerful than the individuals within it.

When we act as part of a community of service like this, we’re reminded that we are not only assisting an individual or select group in the moment, but also serving the greater good. We’re creating a better world and can rest assured that help will be there for us as well. As we offer our own light to the collective glow to aid someone in a time of darkness, all of us become brighter. We can live every day from this place of radiance, knowing the freedom from fear and worry that allows us to receive and share the protective and supportive light of life....<<<Read More>>>...

The Race to Exterminate Before the Collapse: Why the Globalists Are In a Hurry to Kill You

 A DOOM AND GLOOM post to start today's batch off. A pantomime story, that does have some sense to it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

It's now clear to me that Western governments are engaged in a deliberate, depopulation campaign designed to eliminate billions of human beings before the western (dollar-hegemonic) financial system collapses. This is not a wild conspiracy theory, either: it is a clear pattern observable in their actions and admissions. They know the coming currency reset and debt default will trigger mass revolts, so they are culling potential troublemakers now before the collapse turns into an avalanche of social unrest.

The signs are everywhere if you choose to see them. The national debt has crossed a staggering threshold ($40+ trillion for the U.S. government), and the economic system is a fragile house of cards built on deception and the illusion of infinite growth. The globalists who run this system are not stupid; they know the math doesn't work. They know the collapse is inevitable, and their only plan is to ensure that fewer of us are alive to witness it and to rebel against it. The window to prepare is closing far faster than most realize.

The financial collapse is the engine that drives this madness. Trillions in debt, bail-ins, and asset confiscation are inevitable, and our rulers are desperate to survive the fallout. When people lose their life savings, they will take to the streets -- governments want fewer people alive to rebel....<<<Read More>>>...

From forest to wellness: The growing buzz around lion’s mane

 Lion's mane mushroom is a health-supporting superfood that Big Pharma wants you to ignore because it offers real health benefits without the toxic side effects of synthetic drugs. It has been used safely for centuries in Asia.

Recent studies show lion's mane supports gut health by feeding good bacteria and helps regulate mood by boosting nerve growth factor and dopamine levels, all without dangerous chemicals.

Capsules and powders make it incredibly easy to use - no cooking, no bitter taste, just a simple way to support good health that fits any modern lifestyle.

Natural treatments like lion's mane are safe when used properly, but because drug companies capture regulatory agencies, you must follow label instructions carefully and talk to a healthcare provider.

This humble fungus is a beacon of hope in a world where the medical system pushes illness for profit. It empowers people to take back control of their health naturally.

While Big Pharma pushes synthetic drugs with a list of side effects longer than the alleged benefits, it's refreshing to see people rediscovering the healing powers of nature....<<<Read More>>>....

The UK’s “assisted dying” bill is eugenics by another name

 Leadbeater’s kill bill is back. The euthanasia bill, officially called the ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’, has been reintroduced in Parliament by Labour MP for Rochester and Strood, Lauren Edwards.

As a UK Medical Freedom Alliance panel points out, this Bill will make eugenics a government policy by creating a healthcare system that will judge the value of somebody’s life according to their productivity, their activity and their efficiency.

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is a private member’s bill that proposes to legalise “assisted dying” in England and Wales. The Bill, originally introduced by Kim Leadbeater MP (Labour) in October 2024, passed the House of Commons in June 2025 but failed to become law because it did not complete its legislative stages in the House of Lords before the 2024–26 parliamentary session ended on 29 April 2026.

Lauren Edwards MP (Labour) has reintroduced the Bill into the House of Commons as a private member’s bill for the 2026-2927 parliamentary session. It passed its first reading in the Commons on 17 June 2026 and is scheduled for its second reading on 11 September 2026....<<<Read More>>>..

 

Food for Thought #1257

 

The Singapore Stone’s carvings have been undeciphered for centuries

 If you pay a visit to the Singapore Stone, displayed at the National Museum of Singapore, you might be disappointed. That’s because the inscription – carrying an unknown writing system transcribing an unknown language – is fading. But if you love puzzles, this won’t put you off.

The stone is a fragment of a bigger slab, once welcoming visitors at the mouth of the Singapore River. The British blew it up in 1843, to build a fort. Discovered in 1819, the stone was almost entirely lost. Scottish military officer Lieutenant-Colonel James Low, amid general indifference, was able to save three fragments. He sent them to the Royal Asiatic Society’s Museum in Calcutta to be studied....<<<Read More>>>....
