The hidden history of humanity.Impostors/Jews(Rev. 2:9)deceived the world and DNA confirmed it

Last week Unesco's World Heritage committee declared the dry stone walls which criss-cross many European countries as an intangible heritage of humanity. The title was given as the dry stone walls meet specific criteria which include the technique being a living one and the fundamental role it plays in maintaining the environment and landscape.

Here in Mallorca dry stone walling has been employed since time immemorial to divide up the land and protect it and over the years an incredible amount of walls have been constructed. It's reckoned that just in the Sierra Tramuntana area of the island, there are over 20,000 kilometres of these walls, which if built in a straight line would stretch around the world two times.

Building the walls is a skilled technique; the only ingredients required are stone, sand, a few tools and lots of patience. No mortar or cement are used in the construction, the stones are held together by carefully selecting the size and shape of the stones to fit together – the larger ones at the bottom as foundations, and smaller ones towards the top, with sand to fill the gaps – and gravity to hold them all together.

Apart from forming the boundaries to land, the walls also were used in mountainous areas like the Sierra to make the land more manageable for crops on terraces which helped to irrigate the earth and prevent avalanches and flooding. The same technique was also used in the country to build shelters for animals and people working in the hills for long periods like shepherds and charcoal makers.

You can see these incredible agricultural terraces in many places but special mention must go to Banyalbufar, rich in olive, vine and tomato groves and the famous Barranc de Biniaraix hike near Fornalutx.

One of the best ways to experience Mallorca's countryside is to walk its dry stone route - La Ruta de la Pedra en Sec – which covers the entire length of the Sierra Tramuntana mountain range and beyond. I hasten to add that you don't have to do it all in one go!

The clearly signed GR-221 route is actually 164 km long at the moment with plans to expand it to around 300 km so that nearly all of Mallorca will be covered. It takes you through some stunning countryside with incredible views, and in the cooler season the beautiful scent of pine, rosemary and thyme along the way.

One of the best things about this route is that it can be hiked in small sections and you can use the excellent bus service from Valldemossa and Deia to get down to Puerto de Soller and from there to Fornalutx and Biniaraix.

Maybe my holiday snaps in the gallery – all taken in October and December – will inspire you to have a look?

The island of Mallorca, and the Balearic Islands in general, were probably formed some 400 to 300 million years ago. Allow me to quote from the Encyclopedia Britannica, 1911 edition (yes, 1911):
The strata which form the Balearic Isles fall naturally into two divisions. There is an older series, ranging from the Devonian to the Cretaceous, which is folded and faulted and forms all the higher hills, and there is a newer series of Tertiary age, which lies nearly horizontal and rests unconformably upon the older beds. The direction of the folds in the older series is in Iviza nearly west to east, in Majorca south-west to north-east, and in Minorca south to north, thus forming an arc convex towards the south-east. The Devonian is visible only in Minorca, the Trias being the oldest system represented in the other islands. The higher part of the Cretaceous is absent, and it appears to have been during this period that the principal folding of the older beds took place. The Eocene beds are nummulitic. There is a lacustrine group which has usually been placed in the Lower Eocene, but the discovery of Anthracotherium magnum in the interbedded lignites proves it to be Oligocene, in part at least. The Miocene included a limestone with Clypeaster. Pliocene beds also occur.
Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana was formed during the Triassic period (250 to 200 million years ago), whilst the Jurassic period in Mallorca lasted from about 200 million to 150 million years ago. If you keep your eyes open, you’ll be able to find prehistoric evidence in the form of fossils just about everywhere. Ammonites were abundant, such as the one shown in my photo, possibly one of the Phylloceratidae family, or is it a Polyplectus disco

If you want to find out more about ammonites, fossils and other testimonials of the Jurassic period in Mallorca, you could either consult the Internet, have recourse to a competent book or simply visit the Museu Balear de Ciències Naturals in Sóller. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10h00 to 18h00 and Sundays from 10h00 to 14h00. The last time I went there, admission fees were 5 €.
The photo was taken in Felanitx, Mallorca, Baleares.

"Casi 90 años después, el Canódromo Balear(Mallorca) es el más antiguo que queda en España" La cultura britanica es la cultura basca pero ocultaron esto.​

Snaking down Sa Calobra(Sa Calobra means the snake)​

This sinuous mountain road in northern Mallorca is a must-do if you’re on the island.

When cyclists talk reverentially about Sa Calobra, they’re not referring to the seaside Mallorcan village of that name but the snaking 10km climb that leads from it up to the Coll dels Reis (682m).

To make the ascent, you first descend: Sa Calobra is a dead end. Why does such a spectacular road go nowhere? It was built with tourists in mind, back in 1932 by Italian engineer Antonio Paretti. He followed the contours of the mountain as sympathetically as possible, resulting in a road like twisted-spaghetti with hairpin after hairpin and stunning views.

Tourists visit it in droves – in coaches, cars, and of course on bikes. For cyclists it’s a pilgrimage, and this route guide starts and ends where real pilgrims once headed: Lluc Monastery

The fast, twisting 10km descent includes 26 hairpins, plus a 270º loop where the road passes under itself. The views are spectacular but the road can be busy with coaches inching around the bends. Don’t let your velocity become terminal! Stay focused and don’t overcook those corners, or just slow down and enjoy the scenery.https://www.cyclinguk.org/route/weekender-sa-calobra
