Oktober måneds historie: "Helligpladsen mellem søerne" af Rud Kjems
Forhistoriske ceremonielle centre omfattende kultanlæg og grave er registreret mange steder i Europa. Det mest kendte er nok Salisbury Plain i Sydengland med Stonehenge som det mest spektakulære anlæg. I denne artikel – den tredje om Orkney Øernes arkæologi – beskrives et helligcenter på hovedøen Mainland. Centret rummer mange forskellige anlæg: Imponerende stenkredse, meterhøje monolitter, megalitgrave mm. Centret er tilmed placeret i et storslået landskab. Helligpladsen var i brug gennem ca. 1500 år, og selv om dets mange anlæg i dag er forvandlet til ruiner, så er et besøg absolut rejsen værd.

CSICOP Tracks Misinformation and Hoaxes in the Wake of the Terrorist Attacks
Amherst, N.Y. – September 20, 2001
The terrorist attacks in Manhattan, Washington, DC and the Pittsburgh area constitute the most tragic and violent events ever perpetrated in the United States. As with other tragedies, conspiracy theories, hoaxes, and other forms of misinformation crop up almost immediately, playing on people’s hopes, fears, and appetite for amazing tales. E-mail has multiplied the speed and extent to which hoaxes, rumors and urban legends spread.
In the interest of public service, the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal has created the HoaxWatch Web page ( www.csicop.org/hoaxwatch ), a source for factual information that debunks much of the claptrap circulating in e-mails, the Internet and elsewhere. We will update this site in reaction to new developments and we’re extremely interested in any e-mails or Web sites circulating suspicious information.
We ask everyone to please forward any suspicious e-mails or links to our hotline e-mail address at info@csicop.org .

Hoaxed Nostradamus Quatrains
About Terrorist Attacks in US Circulated on Internet
Amherst, N.Y. – September 13, 2001
Kevin O’Neill, a reporter at Channel 4 News, the CBS affiliate in Buffalo, New York, brought to CSICOP’s attention a series of hoaxed Nostradamus quatrains circulating on e-mail and the Internet.
Apparently some people have absolutely no shame. Given the enormity of what happened in Manhattan, Washington, DC, and the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday, CSICOP finds it particularly despicable that hoaxers would make a sport out of these tragic events. Unfortunately we anticipate that there may be others – self-styled mediums, psychics, and prognosticators – using this tragedy to make a quick buck, see their name in print, or get on radio and TV.
The hoaxed quatrains, with some accompanying captions and commentary, read as follows:
1
"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb", The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
– Nostradamus 1654
2
In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos,while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb”The third big war will begin when the big city is burning’- Nostradamus 1654 …on the 11 day of the 9 month that…two metal birds would crash into two tall statues…in the new city..and the world will end soon after" "From the book of Nostradamus"
3
Nostradamus’ prediction on WW3: "In the year of the new century and nine months, From the sky will come a great King of Terror… The sky will burn at forty-five degrees. Fire approaches the great new city…" "In the city of york there will be a great collapse, 2 twin brothers torn apart by chaos while the fortress falls the great leader will succumb third big war will begin when the big city is burning" – NOSTRADAMUS He said this will be bigger than the previous two. 2001 is the first year of the new century and this is the 9th month. New York is located at the 41st degree Latitude.
Of course, hoaxed quatrains or not, the very claim that Nostradamus predicted any event–past, present or future–is itself absolutely bogus. For more information on the bogus Nostradamus quatrains go to
