EARLY RAYS
Why Mummies Are Virtually Cancer Free U
nlike The Mummy’s legen- dary imprecation, the curse of cancer is not ancient, but modern. According to a story in Britain’s Daily Telegraph (
www.telegraph.co.uk), cancer is caused by modern man and was virtually non-existant in the ancient world. That is the con- clusion of a new scientific study which argues that the disease is man-made, brought on by the excesses of modern life. The pri- mary suspected causes: pollu- tion and industry.
Researchers analyzed hun- dreds of Egyptian mummies and discovered that cancer was ex- tremely rare, contrasting sharply with conditions today where cancer accounts for al- most a third of all deaths. Can- cers have increased dramatically
since the industrial revolution, particularly those of childhood— demonstrating that the increased frequency is not simply a result of longer life spans. For the an- cients, cancer of any kind was ex- tremely rare.
Professor Rosalie David a bio- medical Egyptologist at the Uni- versity of Manchester, and her colleague Professor Michael Zim- merman examined mummies dating back three millennia. They identified only five tumor cases and most of those were be- nign. They also looked at fossils and ancient medical texts and found very little evidence of any kind of cancer, though they did find signs of some other common modern diseases like hardening of the arteries.

NEXUS STOPS PUBLISHING IN AMERICA Black Ram operator, Jeff Wil-
Rising has, for years, been the best selling magazine devoted to ancient mysteries, unexplained anomalies, and future science. Now our primary challenger has dropped out of the game. Nexus Magazine will no longer be published in North American and Canada. The last issue of the Australian bi- monthly in the United States was Volume 17 number 3 which went out in the summer of 2010. According to a notice on its web site (
http://www.nexus mag-
azine.com/index.php?option= com_content&view=article&id= 74&Itemid=106) Nexus Australia has discontinued its relationship with Black Ram, LLC, its long- time American publishing repre- sentative. “Nexus Magazine USA, also referred to as Nexus USA,” said the notice, “is no longer au- thorized or licensed to solicit or accept subscriptions or adver- tising for Nexus Magazine.” Moreover, according to the com- pany, Nexus Australia is not, and never has been, responsible for any subscriptions or advertising purchases made through Black Ram (aka “Nexus USA). Cus- tomers are invited to contact
liams, over any payments which have not been honored. Unlike Atlantis Rising Maga-
zine which is created and pro- duced entirely in the United States, printer-ready files of the original Australian edition of Nexus have, for years, been shipped to Williams and his wife Rachel, who would place adver- tising purchased by American businesses and then see to the printing and distribution. The Williams couple collected the revenue and paid the bills and had sole responsibility in those areas.
When Atlantis Rising called the Black Ram number in Oc- tober, a recorded message was still inviting callers to leave credit card numbers for sub- scriptions or advertising. At- lantis Rising’s request for com- ment from Williams has gone unanswered. Any Nexus advertisers or sub- scribers who wish to join the growing Atlantis Rising family can visit our web sites at Atlan-
tisRising.com or AtlantisRising-
