Sweepstakes 25PayPal & The Hidden Chamber in the Great Sphinx


I don't usually have time to settled down with a book unless I'm reading to my 6 and 3 year old boys. I actually read this book one morning own my own after an unsuccessful read with my six year old. He just wasn't into it, but I believe he will like the information that was unfolded in the book when he gets older.

Like I said, one morning I tore through the book and did Google searches in between to search archaeological information that was revealed in the book. I also asked my husband questions to see his response, he is a major history fan. I love the informative knowledge that unfolded in the story line.

The book in an overview is about a man who moves and finds love with a widowed mother next door neighbor. He is a professor and joins in archaeological digs following in the footsteps of his dad with life long friend archaeologist.  Searching out the hidden chamber in the Great Sphinx life takes so many interesting turns. Facts are sprinkled throughout and fiction. This book pulls you into learning before you realize and sends you on mystery like a Nancy Drew book. Danger lurks and things are not what they seem.

Was humans the first ones here with computers, did you know a computer dating back 1st century BC salvaged from a shipwreck in 1900. How was the pyramids lit up, better yet how was it built? Is there an hint of alien super knowledge, time has forgotten? Build your curiosity and check out Linda Cadose's book. I'm looking forward to her newest book (Underwater Pyramid Bermuda Triangle and her knowledge reflected in future novels.

Books are available at:

Oral Surgery & Wisdom Teeth

I thought I was going crazy with my face hurting on the right side. In my temple all the way down under my chin. I was on the verge of thinking yep now I'm about to have a stroke. That was until I felt with my tongue something in the back of my gum. It was a tooth!! It hit me a Wisdom Tooth.

Had a dentist appointment for a cleaning and made through infection with antibiotics from the strep throat. I met with the oral surgeon's office today for the X-rays and she said I must be in terrible pain after showing me the x-rays. Looks like I will be having oral surgery very soon. Hope my husbands' insurance works out covering this, waiting on a call back.

Did you know that Aristotle (384-322 BC) is often referred to as the father of marine biology? Aristotle is the first to record observations on marine life, and identified a variety of species including crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, and fish. However, until submarines were invented, it was almost impossible to explore the deep ocean. Today, submarines are used by marine biologists to collect samples, take videos and observe sea life in ways that humans would not be able to do! Marine biologists are able to work at depths of several hundred meters for hours in these special submarines!

There is so much to discover under water. Just recently in December 2012, a giant, marine reptile that roamed the seas around 150 million years ago was identified as a new species. The animal, now named Pliosaurus funkei spanned about 40 feet, had a massive 6.5 foot long skull and a bite as powerful as a Tyrannosaurus rex.


                              

To celebrate this new one-hour special, you too can “Ride Along the Dinosaur Train” in this new book from Grosset & Dunlap, available everywhere books are sold! This fun, interactive novelty book lets readers ride the Dinosaur Train with Buddy and his family. Using the slide along train at the top of the book, fans can visit all the stops along with the Dinosaur Train! For readers ages 3 and up; grade level P and up! SRP $7.99. One US will win the new novelty book, Ride Along the Dinosaur Train, from Grosset & Dunlap.
