Discovery at Karahan Tepe: Evidence of a Prehistoric Extraterrestrial Civilization?

A groundbreaking find at Karahan Tepe has sent shockwaves through the archaeological and scientific communities. Researchers have unearthed a metallic sarcophagus containing the remains of a humanoid figure with elongated limbs, an enlarged cranium, and features unlike any known human.

The advanced craftsmanship of the coffin, combined with the figure’s remarkable preservation, has fueled speculation about extraterrestrial contact in prehistoric times. Could this enigmatic skeleton be the missing link between humanity and the stars? As investigations continue, the discovery challenges our understanding of ancient civilizations and their possible connections to otherworldly beings.

“From a technical perspective, I like to see very pure technique and strong basics. Nothing fancy. Today, some aikido looks very fancy, especially on social media, but people who know can tell that kind of aikido has nothing inside. It looks fancy, but it’s empty and lacks fundamentals. Unfortunately, some instructors are like this. They look fancy and have bad technique – you can tell the uke is not even having their balance broken. It’s part of what I meant when I say that aikido today is too free. It’s important to be responsible with that freedom and remember the basics – irimi, connecting, harmonizing. And if you have those basics and they are strong, then you can be fancy. “

Last nights class was very special.
We worked through the relationship of kotai through jutai and Ekitai to kitai and onto the connection with breathing.
Finishing off the evening with two breathing exercises which l suggested should be included in every day normal activities.
All present fully enjoyed something which was new to everyone.Gx
