Welcome to Special Books & Documents!
Introduction:
This site will contain free e-books and articles concerning everything from science to different religion and beliefs.
Suggestions of topics and content is always welcome. When it comes to fresh content, it is a bit hard to acomplish, simply beacuse many of these documents are thousands of years old. However, I can guarantee You that herein will be found a lot of stuff that You have never seen before!
In general, I will gather all kind of documents, articles and books that have been published throughout the centuries about different kind of interesting things. As different prophecies, UFO's, anomalies and more like that. The important thing is that they shall be FACTS not fiction. Well, it may be hard to say about the prophecies and some of the religious stuff. But it IS a fact that they have been written. ;)
My aim is to make available complete texts as they were originally written, not as the world sees them today after several translations. Too often a fact starts out as a stupid mistake or misreading by some weirdo who make a lot of people believe that he/she is the only one knowing the true thruth. I sincerily believe that a human being is capable of thinking and making up own opinions about things for herself, and as long as there are enough material to base that opinion ON it most likely should be a quite good opinion.
For comments and/or suggestions, please leave a message in the Guestbook. Or, if You are the shy kind, send an e-mail to rarebooks@mail.com . This is the adress I use during the initial setup of these pages, and I check it twice a day.
Once again, welcome. Take Your time browsing around and have fun!

The Dresden Codex
A large part of the pre-Columbian Maya book known as the Dresden Codex is concerned with an exploration of commensurate relationships among celestial cycles and their relationship to other, nonastronomical cycles of cultural interest. As has long been known, pages 43b-45b of the Codex are concerned with the synodic cycle of Mars. New work reported here with another part of the Codex, a complex table on pages 69-74, reveals a concern on the part of the ancient Maya astronomers with the sidereal motion of Mars as well as with its synodic cycle. Two kinds of empiric sidereal intervals of Mars were used, a long one (702 days) that included a retrograde loop and a short one that did not. The use of these intervals, which is indicated by the documents in the Dresden Codex, permitted the tracking of Mars across the zodiac and the relating of its movements to the terrestrial seasons and to the 260-day sacred calendar. While Kepler solved the sidereal problem of Mars by proposing an elliptical heliocentric orbit, anonymous but equally ingenious Maya astronomers discovered a pair of time cycles that not only accurately described the planet's motion, but also related it to other cosmic and terrestrial concerns.
The Dresden Codex is found, complete, here: http://www.famsi.org/mayawriting/codices/dresden.html . The file is 95,7 MB big, so I do not at the moment have room for it. :( I really need to upgrade my freeweb account...
