Levels of arsenic and antimony measured in
Pipe Clay Creek were generally low, and
similar to those measured at Sea Lido.
In contrast, levels of arsenic and antimony
measured in Station Creek were much
higher than those at Sea Lido.
Antimony
levels exceeded the NHMRC (1996)
drinking water quality guideline of 3
on all occasions, while
levels of arsenic
consistently exceeded the ANZECC (2000)
swimming water quality guideline of
between March and May 2003.
Levels of both arsenic and antimony in
Station Creek increased after February 2003,
a period dominated by many small rainfall
events. These results suggest that arsenic
and antimony are washed into the creek
during wet weather.
This is an update to an earlier blog which I am unable to locate and fear it may have been taken down. I will add more to this as I regather my previous information.
I found an Etsy site that sells reproductions of the Emerald Tablet

Isaac Newton's Translation
1. This true without lying, certain most true.
2.
That which is below is like that which is above that which is above is
like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing.
3. And
as all things have been arose from one by the mediation of one: so all
things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
4. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother,
5. The wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth its nurse.
6. The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
7. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
a.
Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross
sweetly with great industry. 8. It ascends from the earth to the heaven
again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior
and inferior.
9. By this means ye shall have the glory of the whole world thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
10. Its force is above all force. for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.
a.So was the world created.
11. From this are and do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (Or process) is here in this.
12. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.
13.
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and
ended. Hermes Trismegistus, "Hermes the Thrice-Greatest"
The transformation of base metals to noble
metals, specifically gold and silver
Royal Society believed that his manuscripts were “not fit to be printed”.
His papers were rediscovered in the 20th century and led scholars to believe that he was initially an alchemist/
His inspiration for the laws of light and theory of gravity came from his alchemical work
Transmuted lead into gold
He thought of his work as a “secret”
Believed in Hermetic Tradition Influence Basis of medieval and Renaissance alchemy
Only piece of non-Greek Hermetica to attract widespread attention in the WestSo valuable is because it contained the instructions for the goals of alchemists
Hinted at the recipe for alchemical gold, as well as how to set one's level of consciousness to a new degree
Provide key to ideas of earth, fire, sun, moon, etc.
Its a scary prospect buying food from the supermarkets in this country and probably others as well. It's grown with poison and then there is Glyphophospate or Glyphosate, otherwise known by its Monsanto's rock star name of "Round Up".
Today in Australia we are growing our cotton as a Round Up ready crop. Which, incidentally we will wear on our bodies. Why are we participating? Large companies getting rich making ordinary mums and dads addicted to the lifestyle and making babies (sick babies or in turn make sicker babies).
According to David Suzuki and I agree emphatically:
We have no idea what the long-term consequences of these genetic manipulations will will be on the public. There is no way that our health authorities can test all possible combinations and permutations over a large enough population over a long enough period to be able to say with assurance. So, basically by slipping it into our food without our knowledge without any indication that there are genetically modified organisms in our food we are now unwittingly part of a massive experiment.
And how far have we come as a humanity?
The information that was contained within the walls of the Alexandrian Library will never be recovered.
The founding of this library has been called the beginning of modern history. It was the most important centre of learning in the ancient world.
Alexandria is 130 miles north west of Cairo, it is Egypt's second largest city and the main port.
In the 4th century BC the Greek, Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in 332 BC. It was a natural harbour and it was suited to be the centre of the worlds greatest things. Socrates taught Plato who taught Aristotle and he taught Alexander the Great. His father was Macedonian King Phillip.
Alexander loved learning.
Educated men are as much superior to uneducated men as the living are to
the dead, the fate of empires depends on the education of youth. ~
Aristotle 4th Century BC
Alexander was crowned a Pharoah in Egypt. He was not Egyptian but he sort immortality. It is said mysteriously he could be the son of Armen and not Phillip. This comes from a dream that Alexander had. In his dream Armen told him to found the city of Alexandria and he saw his mother embrace Armen.
In 323 BC Alexander the Great suddenly died. He never got to see his library. This heralded a new period of leadership by Ptolemy I, Alexanders most trusted General.
The Ptolemy's dynasty ruled for over 300 years. Ptolemy still carried Alexander's dream. Influential scholars came from all over the world. He mixed with the best scholars. Ptolemy collected books as Greeks do. People would brings books from all over the world. Aristotle's library was there also. It is said that there were in excess of 4 to 5 hundred thousand books.
Scribes copied priceless books that we still have some access to today because of those scribes in Alexandria.
Euclid the mathematician worked out of the Library and published a textbook and opened his own school. Euclid's rules are still worked today in Geometry.
Human anatomy and Physiology began with Herophilos who was a Greek physician
deemed to be the first anatomist. Born in Chalcedon, he spent the
majority of his life in Alexandria.
Ptolemy I died in 283 BC and Ptolemy II took over and the Ptolmaic dynasty continued until the death of Cleopatra.
Ptolemy II ruled with his sister ArsinoeII. Pictured coin : Ptolemy II Philadelphus, and his sister/wife Arsinoe II
During Ptolemy II's rule he had the Hebrew scrolls on papyrus. It is
known to today as the Septuagint because Ptolemy II had 70 scribes
translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek (Septuagint = 70). There were
many Jews in Alexandria and they were fast forgetting their native
tongue of Hebrew so their Book of Law was transcribed in order for them
to keep their law.
Badly damaged by three earthquakes between AD 956 and 1323, it then
became an abandoned ruin. It was the third longest surviving ancient
wonder (after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the extant Great Pyramid of Giza) until 1480, when the last of its remnant stones were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay on the site.
246 BC Ptolemy the 3rd was crowned and became "Benefactor". Eratosthenes was his teacher and he figured the circumference of the Earth. They knew the Earth was round thousands of years before Columbus did. (false history). In socrates dialogues he said... Eratosthenes said the Earth was 24,650 miles around which is only 200 miles out. He figured this out through the shadows cast and the distances of these.
Archimedes visited his friend Erastosthenes .. he is credited with the cry Eureka.. I have found it! He was the first Physicist
In Alexandria they first figured out our planet rotates around the sun. What an amazing place it must have been to solve the problems of life the universe and Everything.
During the period of Ptolemy IV's reign the library was losing is shine.
Rome was looking to invade in 48 BC When Cleopatra was the Pharoah and co ruler of Egypt with her brother whom she married. She was however a Greek. She was a great scholar who was well versed in many languages. She spoke Egyptian and Latin as well as her Greek tongue. Cleopatra claimed Julius Caesars heart. He sided with Cleopatra in a civil war with her brother whom she struggled with for leadership.
Julius Caesar died in 44BC and Cleopatra aligned herself with Mark Antony. Mark Antony and Cleopatra were defeated and he committed suicide as did Cleopatra 30BC and that was the end of the Ptolemaic rule.
Plutarch said the Library was destroyed in the Great fire of Alexandria. But Mark Antony donated books from Pergamon.
Rome took over under Augustus Caesar who was the first Roman Emperor who was the nephew of Julius Caesar.
200AD
400AD Emperor Theodosius outlawed paganism in favor of Christianity. (From Wiki)
Between 389 and 391 he issued the "Theodosian decrees," which established a practical ban on paganism; visits to the temples were forbidden, remaining pagan holidays abolished, the sacred fire in the Temple of Vesta in the Roman Forum extinguished, the Vestal Virgins disbanded, auspices and witchcraft punished. Theodosius refused to restore the Altar of Victory in the Senate House, as requested by pagan Senators.
In 392 he became emperor of the whole empire (the last one to be so).
From this moment until the end of his reign in 395, while pagans
remained outspoken in their demands for toleration,he authorized or participated in the destruction of many temples, holy sites, images and objects of piety throughout the empire in actions by Christians against major pagan sites. He issued a comprehensive law that prohibited any public pagan ritual, and was particularly oppressive of Manicheans. He is likely to have suppressed the Ancient Olympic Games, whose last record of celebration is from 393.
The real destruction of what was left of the Library came when in 616 AD the Islamic faith rode in and the Roman Alexandrian's in Egypt surrendered to the Muslims.
Legend then says they ordered all of the books that remained to be burned. And the stones from the Alexandrian Library and the Great Alexandrian Lighthouse were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay in 1499 by the Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay on top of the Lighthouse site. It still stands in Alexandria today after a few refurbishments and uses and today is a museum.
