Mythology & Folklore - August 2007

alright, I know Helen is from Sparta and that the Spartan King goes to Troy for her.. but what's the timeline of when Troy was supposed to have happened and when the battle of Thermopaplye (sorry if its bad spelling) happened (aka 300)??

and i'm just spitballing here, but could the Spartan king who fought in Troy be related to King Leonidas of 300?? I'm just wondering because i am unsure of how kings and queens were appointed in Sparta.

I just heard the Queen Mary is up for sale. Foreign countries are bidding on it.
?
If the Queen Mary is sold and towed away or to be broken down into scrap metal, where will all the ghosts go? I heard one guy say there are over 50 ghosts on the ship. That's alot of homeless ghosts. Will they stay in Long Beach or retire to Florida?

I do not see comercial airliners leave these trails behind. It's a little weird. It looks like these "planes" turn this on and off whenever they chose. I am not talking about any type of airshows.

Instead of material "things" into GOLD? Whereby one has the ability to create something out of nothing? Out of "thin air"?
As there is no nothing. For even the dark matter we know of today is made from the energy of the Lifeforce which is sent out into Creation by the Source of Life we call God?

for those of you who also think everyone has a special power deep within themselves, how might i find mine? i'm not being retarded to talk like this. i just believe. if you dont believe then thats just you. anyways, i think i have some sort of magic power, but i can't really figure out what it is. does it have something to do with finding out who you truly are? how can i find who i really am? how do i find my power? whether it be physcological or physical...

I'm looking for dates in Greek Mythology. Are there any original sources (like Hesiod or Ovid) that give us any clues as to when events happened?

For instance, when did Cronos swallow his children? When was the Titanomachy (when the Gods struck out against the ruling Titans) and when was the Giantomachy (when the Giants struck back against the Gods)? Did all this take place in 10 million BC or was it 10,000 BC?

Plato tells us that Atlantis sunk around 9600BC, but when did everything else happen? If you have any other landmark dates

Please note that I'm looking for mythological dates (i.e. concerning greek gods), not historical dates (i.e. concerning greek men and women).

Thanks for your insights!

A while abck me adn three friends where playing with a quiji board (i don't use them anymore i perosnally belieive you should not mess with tings like that) and the person I spoke with told me he was Jesus.We had a rosary onthe quiji board for protection and he kept circling it. Then he spelled out that he was Jesus. He made a ball and toy car move all on it's own. Made my friend pass out then told us to look up certain parts of the bible. Non of us where very religious and couldn't understand what to look up. He gave us two-three sets of numbers. Something like (making these numbers up) 13 2 45. something like that. Anyway do you think we were really talking to God? This happened years ago! But just thinking about it freaks me out!

(in more details)

I am on a long-distance flight. I am sitting towards the end of the airplane, 2-3 seats below across where my mom is..while my little brother is walking down and up the aisles..All of a sudden on our peaceful flight, the plane makes a harsh 360 degree turn, than the plane slowly starts to fall..I take my brother on my lap and hold on to him tightly. As this is happening we start to go down faster and faster...As we are crashing down, I think to myself "I hope my brother is ok and my mom, oh i wish i could yell her i love you right now..godd i am prolly gonna die soon i cant believe it, and my dad what is he gonna do when he finds out plane crashed" Than I see flames coming at me in a bomblike matter, I close my brothers eyes with my hands and dont hear anything. I find myself floating back down on an ocean..I can see the flames and the airplane in the water...there was a hospital right in the middle of the ocean and nurses were getting us in one by one. We were
