Meanwhile Did you know that......
Recent discovery in the Indian region of Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh have revealed ancient cave paintings that change our understanding of prehistoric human interaction with other terrestrial beings.
These 10,000-year-old paintings found in the Charama area in the district of Kanker, Chhattisgarh, depict extraterrestrial life and what appear to be UFOs.
One particular discovery is a collection of cave paintings that function like an ancient calendar. These images relate past developments of these extraterrestrial beings and potentially predict future visits. The calendar suggests dates that could correspond to the years 2030 and 2046. Although the exact dates are still uncertain due to the difficulty of ancient symbols.
The natives have long believed in myths about the "Rohela people," the heavenly beings that would take the villagers and transmit knowledge and technology to them before they disappeared.
This discovery echoes the theory of ancient astronauts, which assumes that extraterrestrial beings influenced early human civilizations.
Researchers believe that these encounters may have inspired mythologies and early technological advances, such as detailed descriptions of flying machines or aircraft found.

Lastly, Did you know that......
The Chinese influence in Filipino culture is deeply woven into art, food, and language, creating a unique blend of traditions. Over centuries, Chinese customs merged with local Filipino practices, shaping many aspects of daily life.
Filipino cuisine, for example, wouldn’t be the same without lumpia (spring rolls), pancit (noodles), and siopao (steamed buns), all inspired by Chinese culinary traditions but now considered Pinoy staples. Even the Chinese zodiac and Chinese New Year have become widely celebrated across the Philippines.
From words like “tikoy” to age-old business practices, the Chinese-Filipino cultural fusion remains a lasting legacy in the country’s identity. 🏮🥢
