Greetings from ancient construction workers

 

The image above this text represents medieval bricks. Those bricks are part of the collection of the Helsinki Museum of Architecture. Construction or brick manufacturers have left their mark on the bricks. And when we look closer to the middle brick, there's a pentagram on that brick. This symbol can have serious consequences in the Middle Ages. 

That kind of thing always causes questions about who were those people, how they lived, what things they talked about together? Where they came from, where they went after construction was ready? Were those construction workers similar to migrant workers like today? 

If the worker would get the construction site like church or cathedral. That guaranteed livelihood for the rest of their life. At that time there was no social service. And the good and long payment guaranteed that those workers could pay their old times from salaries that they got from the church. Another way to guarantee the livelihood of the workers was to find the construction site of the castle. 

Is this pentagram proof that some people exercised witchcraft and pagan rituals? Or was it just the test that person was capable of for some more or less seriously taken gangs? Or was it the test of how accurate the construction inspectors were with those things? Or maybe the purpose of the pentagram was to test, who tells those kinds of things to construction supervisors or even priests and sheriffs. 

If that mark has been made to a brick used in church. That could mean even a bonfire. Or maybe the construction worker would not be convicted to death. But always this kind of thing caused interrogation, which was a very uncomfortable experience. 

The own marks in the bricks could mean also. That samples of those bricks have been sold to the enemy.  And the enemy might know what kind of cannonballs they should use against the defense of the castle. The pentagram is connecting with witchcraft and paganism. 

Maybe that mark has been "proof" that the person was capable for some group like freemasons or some proto-Freemasonic group. So there is the possibility that the pentagram was some kind of gang test that served similar purposes with gang tests in the modern motorcycle- and other gangs.

Strange images of ancient astronauts or scuba divers on the wall of "Catedral Nueva" at Salamanca, Spain from 16th. century

This is the writing about strange sculptures, what are very interesting, because of their shape. There could be two explanations of those sculptures. Another is that they portrait ancient astronauts and the second one is that there would be the ancient scuba diver in those walls. The pictures of ancient astronauts are a very fascinating thing, and here I must say, that nobody actually knows, are ancient aliens visited in our planet sometimes before. When we are looking at those sculptures, we might think that there is some kind of mistake, but nobody makes that kind of sculptures by accident.


In the time, when those sculptures were made, were no drill-machines, and another kind of stuff, what modern sculptors use, and that kind of high-class sculpture is not very easy to make even with modern tools. So there is the very nice mystery in the walls of those cathedrals and castles, where is that kind of sculptures. The thing, what is seen in those photos is not actually mean that the sculpture portraits some ancient astronaut. It can also portrait the ancient scuba-diver, who had the diving suit, what was made by greased lethal or catfishes skin.


That kind of swimming suit could be possible to make in medieval time, and the system, what the scuba diver would use for breathing could be the balloon, what has been made by using the urinary bladder, what is taken from Pigs bodies. Those balloons mouth can be equipped with carbon filters, and that could allow those scuba divers breath under the sea. I think that the figure, what is in those sculptures could portrait also the scuba diver, who was swimming in the middle of seaweeds. That would be one very interesting explanation for those strange images.

Influence of the medieval period and the world of that time

(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

In popular culture, we normally see medieval period violent and dangerous time. The term "Dark medieval period" might create by the Protestants, who wanted to destroy Catholic church. And in this light, we must understand that Protestants wanted to increase the Catholic church role as the instrument of power. This instrument was used to destroy the enemies of kings. And in this way of view, this era was the very pressing era, and the burning many persons who wanted to reform that organization gave it very dark reputation. That organization persecuted everybody who wrote anything that was not same opinions, as an officially accepted theological writing involved.


If there would be any conflict with Catholic church and writer, the last one would find himself at the top of the pyre. The women went straight to death because they could be prosecuted by the husband. Only men had rights in that time. The role of women, as they must be quiet, and their husband was talking in the public situation.  This is one way to look that period. The medieval period is quite different than we might expect, and of course, every criminal was not burned on the pyre. At that time were basically the same kind of criminal prosecution and punishment system than today. There was some kind of punishments like today, and the fine, prison and death penalties were used at that time. When we are talking about the inquisition, Dominican monks investigation system, the first punishments for prosecuted people were light.


The most common punishments were tickets, and the reason for this punishment was that was meant for cause hate against that person. This conviction was about the bullseye of the God. This was common version because somebody wrote the things, what were embarrassed for the Catholic church like the position of women and children. But when this person went back to home and tried to pay the price, there would not be any money. They were all taken, and then inquisition claimed that this person was cheapened the justice. And the reason for that must find out. That caused torture and death because the denying to pay the bill was so garish that it caused that penalty, where the person was burned to death.


The inquisition ever executed those people itself, the execution was made the secular authorities, that’s why Inquisition has kept its hands clean. The killing was not suitable for priests and nuns. It was the dirty job that left to sheriffs and soldiers. The medieval time was not full of the wars and despotism. The constitutional state was started to create in that time, and people learned to live even with Inquisition. The same thing was to happen in other fundamentalistic states in the world.


People would learn to live with that kind of system, and the turning to democracy was caused by war. The democratic state can mobilize all of the people, but dictatorship must leave large groups of the armed forces as the security troops, and this was the good argument for democracy if the state’s primary mission was to go to war. This model worked in Prussia, because it looked like more attractive, and gave people the change to take a part in the state leadership.


And this changed the military system that kind of thing, that every person in that state would feel, that they defended something important. But the democracy was far away from the medieval model, where the king was far away from the people. The kings ruled alone, and the people were same, who was their ruler. The unlimited rights of the ruler made the situation, that laws changed when the king changed. And that made the state very unstable.
