Quite possibly, one of the most charming—yet frustrating—aspects of history is its unsolved mysteries. The same can be said of linguistics, and only occasionally do they cross over to solve a problem, as in the case of the Rosetta Stone and Egyptian hieroglyphics. Enter the curious so-called Singapore Stone.

Believed to date back to the 13th century or as early as the 10th, the stone was once part of a large slab of inscribed sandstone standing at the mouth of the Singapore River. Then, in 1843, the British blew it up to widen a passageway and build military quarters.

Lieutenant-Colonel James Low, who had previously objected to the explosion, salvaged three fragments of the boulder and sent them to Kolkata for analysis. In 1918, one of the fragments was returned to the Raffles Museum, now known as the National Museum of Singapore. The status of the other two is uncertain, whether lost or still in India.

The stone's inscription has yet to be deciphered. Over the years it has been speculated to be Hindu, Tamil, and Pali, while more recent theories suggest that it is written in Kawi script and contains some Sanskrit words, hinting at the island's past as part of the Majapahit Empire.

Today, the Singapore Stone is designated as one of the eleven national treasures of Singapore. Folklore often associates it with Badang, the legendary Malay strongman whose incredible feats include hurling a massive stone from the nearby Fort Canning to the mouth of the Singapore River.

Episode 189: The Curse of the Hope Diamond Photodump

Welcome to the photo dump for Episode 189: The Curse of the Hope Diamond! The diamond which would later come to be known as “The Hope Diamond” is said to be one of the most cursed objects in the world. Originating from the lost Golconda diamond mines of India, French merchant Jean Baptiste Tavernier acquired the 115 carat blue diamond under dubious circumstances to say the least. After the diamond was sold to King Louis the 14th, the diamond changed hands dozens of times over the next 350 years, with people who owned it - and even people who just touched it - suffering gruesome deaths, disfigurement, and bad luck. Join Nat and Aly on this week’s classic curse episode and learn why the Hope Diamond is so haunted.

IMAGE 01: American mining heiress and socialite Evalyn Walsh McLean wears the Hope Diamond around her neck in this colorized photo from 1914 IMAGE 02: Various angles of the Hope Diamond (now on display in the Smithsonian after being donated by Harry Winston) and a summary of some of the deaths and misfortunes allegedly associated with the diamond as published in a newspaper from the early to mid 1900s IMAGE 03: Sketch of the diamond as found in the notes of Jean Baptiste Tavernier (note that he lists the diamond as just over 112 carats, but conflicting reports actually put the original diamond at closer to 116 carats) IMAGE 04: The transformation of the Hope Diamond over the centuries (including its various name changes) IMAGE 05: Tavernier looking lowkey baller IMAGE 06: Fort Golconda IMAGE 07: A painting/illustration of what the diamond mines in Golconda allegedly looked like in the 1700s (note: Tavernier was there in the 1600s) IMAGE 08: Some of the other cursed diamonds said to have come from the Golconda region IMAGE 09: 1920 article from Portland, Oregon about the Hope Diamond’s curse and mystery IMAGE 10: The Hope Diamond glows blood red under UV light

Nestled amidst the rugged Aravalli hills of Rajasthan, Bhangarh Fort stands as a testament to both architectural grandeur and mysterious folklore. Often referred to as the most haunted place in India, Bhangarh Fort attracts adventurers, history enthusiasts, and paranormal investigators alike. Let's delve into the intriguing tale of Bhangarh, exploring its history, legends, and the eerie aura that surrounds it.

History and Architecture

Bhangarh Fort, located approximately 83 kilometers from Jaipur, dates back to the 17th century. Built by Raja Madho Singh, the fort and its precincts once thrived with life, boasting palaces, temples, and intricately designed structures typical of Rajput architecture. The fort is protected by two prominent gates, the Lahori Gate and the Delhi Gate, each offering a glimpse into the fort's erstwhile glory.

The layout of Bhangarh Fort is marked by ancient temples dedicated to Hindu deities like Gopinath, Someshwar, and Keshava Rai. These temples, along with the royal palace ruins and marketplaces, speak volumes about the vibrant past of Bhangarh as a flourishing town.

Legends and Folklore

Despite its historical significance, Bhangarh Fort is shrouded in dark legends and eerie tales that have become part of local folklore. One of the most popular stories revolves around a curse cast by a wizard named Singhia on the fort and its inhabitants. According to the legend, Singhia fell in love with the beautiful princess Ratnavati of Bhangarh. In an attempt to win her love through magic, Singhia was killed, but not before casting a curse on the entire town, leading to its abandonment and desolation.

Locals and visitors alike claim to have experienced paranormal activities within the fort premises. It is believed that the curse still lingers, preventing anyone from inhabiting the fort after sunset. The Archaeological Survey of India has even put up a signboard warning visitors against staying inside the fort complex after dark.

Visiting Bhangarh Fort

For adventurous souls and history buffs, Bhangarh Fort offers a captivating journey into the past and the supernatural. The fort opens its gates to visitors during the day, providing an opportunity to explore its historical structures, temples, and the scenic surroundings of the Aravalli hills.

The fort's eerie ambiance and its picturesque setting have also made it a popular destination for photographers and filmmakers. The crumbling ruins, overgrown with vegetation, create a hauntingly beautiful backdrop against the backdrop of the surrounding hills.

"It's funny to me that he's considered One of the Greatest, you know, A Man With His Dick, an Untouchable" I feel like the venn diagram of hardcore VdG fans (ie hardcore nationalists) and hardcore misogynists is a circle. Like normal people would probably be like "oh that sucks to hear" but you know there are people that would love him more for it (an asshole to foreigners AND women?? that's my guy!!)

what grinds my fucking gears is the inability in this country to acknowledge that, before heroes, these guys were humans. They fucked up, and sometimes they sucked ass. I genuinely, wholeheartedly, don't understand why people are so afraid, so horrified, of seeing people for who they were. Vasco da Gama was important. He sailed to India for the first time. This man had 4 caravels with him, one sank, and yet he arrived in Calicut with four fucking caravels. Do you know where the fourth mysterious one came from?? His ass. This motherfucker had woodworkers on his stupid ships. They were know to build forts overnight out of nothing but their ass and their will. They would siege cities, built a fucking fort, and imagine being the king or lord who woke up to this shit and had your soldiers say "my lord, was that there yesterday?"

So he did the same with his ships. This was super common for the portuguese fleet. We really were the type of people who just built a ship out of nowhere, and Vasco da Gama had a whole fucking caravel inside a caravel, that he built somewhere along the way after his fourth caravel was burnt.

His discovery of the sea route to india revolutionised economy, because it directly challenged Venice's dominion over the land-route to Asia.

But he also hated women. He punished these women so fucking much, everyone in Goa, from the annoying Jesuits to the colonised natives, begged him not to. He punished them so much, his chronicler says he died saying the name of one of them.

He was a shitty viceroy too. He actually thought Hospitals were useless, and he forbade his men from going to the hospital. He thought hospitals were a place, and I am not shitting like how fucking dumb do you have to be, where men went to only, EXCLUSIVELY, because they got in a fight for women. He thought men who went to hospitals were weak.

He would often forbid his men from leaving his ship, leading to riots.

He also often forbade meals, just fucking fobidding meals. Starvation was pretty common on his ships.

I'm going to translate a section of a book:

In fact, Vasco da Gama's administration as viceroy was controversial. The politics he followed was of causing fear among all. He would forbid, he would destroy, he would threat. He forbade all ailing navigators from being transported to the hospital of Goa. To him, there was no necessity for hospitals, because, by existing, men made themselves sick. Gaspar Correia adds that Gama declared that he knew of a home remedy [mezinha] that healed all. [...] In truth, they left the hospital sick and immediately Gama forbade them from returning there, saying they were welcomed "for friendships". And because since Eve the origin of blame is given to women, he also forbade those injured in fights from going to the hospital, assuming those fights only happened because of the Eves of his time.

He forbade all. He forbade navigators from removing from ships what they carried to goa. He forbade meals, "for which hunger existed among the soldiers" (Cantanheda). He forbade people aboard ships from going to land. And he forced them all to go to Kochi otherwise they would be left with no wages. He forbade sailors from bringing aboard chests bigger than the size of a sword. [...] João de Barros finds these expressive words to define him: "for being a man who wouldn't forgive the sins of thought, let alone of work". He was "of a judicious condition", Castanheda writes, and, therefore, "many, to get rid of him, went to Coramandel and other parts where they would not be at the service of the king and even Moors felt such fear of him that they shuddered when they named him."

But joke's on this fucking loser, cause he actually died a horrible, painful, and pretty disgusting death:

"The old admiral [...] died in Kochi, plagued by remorse and with his body covered in furuncles and gangrenous tumours that ulcerated". In truth, Gaspar Correia witnessed how the viceroy suffered of great pains in his neck, that

I can't translate the next part cause it's riddled with old portuguese, but imagine a guy with bulbous postules and shit, pus everywhere, screaming in pain, this motherfucker who thought hospitals is for pussies, and meanwhile everyone is giving him shitty remedies that do jack shit

God writes straight sentences in crooked lines, as we say over here

The book is Heroínas Portuguesas, by Fina d'Armada btw

Top 10 haunted places in India that will give you a cold sweat

By Radhika R Gokul

If you are captivated by supernatural activities and have an interest in ghostly activities then you must surely visit some of the amazing and haunted places within India. All you daring travelers out there be ready and explore some of the finest spooky places.

1.Bhangarh Fort, Alwar

Bhangarh Fort is known as the most haunted place in India, and perhaps the greatest unsolved mystery. There is no doubting the fact that anything associated with the supernatural attracts a huge amount of attention and the deserted city of Bhangarh cashes in on that very idea. The many haunted stories of Bhangarh Fort have transformed it into a bucket list destination of sorts.

Most people are of the belief that Bhangarh Fort is haunted and there is no dearth of tales that help in amplifying the mystery that is Bhangarh. Venturing into the fort after sunset is nothing short of an act of bravery as it is supposed to be a Centre for paranormal activity and the Archaeological Survey of India therefore has prohibited people from visiting the Bhangarh Fort at night.

2. Brij Raj Bhavan, Kota

A palace that was once home to Major Charles Burton and is now a heritage hotel, is rather infamous for being a haunted property. The property soon became the talk of the town when people began saying that it was haunted by the ghost of Major Charles Burton.

Even though his spirit does not really harm anyone, guards working here have often heard a man’s voice speaking in English and commanding them to not fall asleep or smoke. And if they do fall asleep on duty, the ghost even slaps them to wake them up. This incident has happened with quite a number of guards.

3. Charleville Mansion, Shimla

Even Rudyard Kipling in his book My Own True Ghost Story talks about this mansion in Shimla. According to the legend, Victor Bayley came to Shimla with his wife in 1913 when he was appointed the Assistant Secretary of the Railway Board. The couple decided to stay at Charleville Mansion because of its low rent however they did not know that the previous owner of the house, an army officer left the mansion because of a poltergeist’s activities in it.

Since then, the house has seen several occupants and all of them have their own experiences to share. Even though the experiences are enough to send a chill down the spine of the readers and audience, the fact that these ghosts have never been violent in nature brings a sense of relief

4. Kundanbagh Witches’ Lair, Hyderabad

Located in the Kundanbagh area, this house has a peculiar story behind it. According to the story, a burglar went into the house to loot the owners but when he entered the house, he found the dead bodies of three women there. A mother and her two daughters who lived here. He panicked and informed the police about it. Upon further investigation, it was found that the women had been dead for almost six months.

Despite this fact, there were no reports or inquiries about them by the neighbors or locality people. It was also because these women had weird rituals that they would perform every night. The three would light candles and walk around the house. They would also have bottles filled with what looked like blood that they would hang in the veranda. The mother would often scare people off with her antics. Thus, no one really interacted with them.

5. Vas Villa, St Mark’s Road Bangalore

The story is that there were two sisters Dulcie and Vera Vaz. Since their house was in the main market place, they were under constant pressure by the land dealers. Then one fine day, Dulcie was murdered, and Vera Vaz escaped. Since then, the house is left untouched with no information about Vera Vaz.

“It was past mid night and there in the road we saw a woman with white hair and white saree collecting garbage. Her features were just the same as we see the movies of old female ghosts, but at that time she didn't appear to be anything different. She said something to one of us but we could not understand and moved ahead.” told by one of the neighbors.

6. Tunnel No.33, Shimla-Kalka Train Route'

One of the longest tunnels is on the Shimla-Kalka route that is a straight tunnel and lasts for over two minutes. Colonel Barog who was a railway engineer was given the task of constructing a tunnel in this region Alas, he had miscalculated and even after boring holes and digging till the center of the mountain, the laborers from different ends did not meet in the middle. Due to the colonel’s folly, he was fired from the job and also fined by the government. This really depressed him and he felt absolutely humiliated.

Colonel Barog shot himself out of his misery. Barog was buried outside the incomplete tunnel to pay homage to his work. But locals believe he never left the place. His spirit still haunts the tunnel. But even today, people say Colonel Barog pays a visit to the tunnel. He even chats with people who are unaware of his existence but those who know who he is get spooked out. He is also spotted there and then vanishes after a while. The government tried sealing the incomplete tunnel but every time the lock was broken.

7 .House Number W-13 At GK-II ,Delhi

Located in Greater Kailash-1, one of the most affluent localities of Delhi is house number W-3. This house is a dark reminder, a dark song that things that go bump in the night do exist, and they're closer to us than we will ever know. The case was never solved and the property was abandoned. As time passed, the property came to be known as the ghost house. Call it human nature to attach paranormal thoughts to murder and abandonment, the house remained an attraction for over 27 years. Nobody dared enter the premises after sunset and many reported screaming and wailing noises over time.

8. Bonacaud Bungalow, Thiruvananthapuram

Popularly known as 25 GB, the bungalow is located amidst lush thick green forests of the Agastya Mountain ranges. The story goes that the Britisher, who built the bungalow, was the manager of a tea estate. He lived in a single-storied mansion with his family. Although he was said to have loved his home, he returned to London with his wife when his child was found killed under mysterious circumstances. Seeing a young girl by the window, the sound of breaking glass and the screams and laughs of a child appeared and the Bungalow entered a state of disrepair.

9. Dow Hill, Kurseong, West Bengal

Located around 30km from Darjeeling is the Dow Hill of Kurseong, which is the boss of haunted places in India. It is one such place where paranormal activities do not seize whether day or night! Often compared to Beauty and the Beast, Kurseong’s beauty has enough ghost stories too. The Death Road which lies between the Dow Hill Road and Forest Office is the hotspot. People have seen a headless ghost of a young boy walking and disappearing into the forest and also experienced being followed or watched by a bodiless entity. While some have seen a red pair of red eyes staring at them from the forest, others have seen the ghost of a woman in grey. The paranormal activities are so intense that most visitors lose sense or kill themselves.

10. Lambi Dehar Mines, Uttarakhand

Located 10 km from Mussoorie, this abandoned mine stretches a couple of kilometers in length, adding to the eerie factor and one of the most haunted places in India. The story goes that during the 1990s, around 50000 mineworkers lost their lives here due to inappropriate mining practices. The workers succumbed to a painful death coughing and lung disorder. Ever since then people have reported mysterious incidents at the site like helicopter crashes or hearing wailing and crying in pain.

Hidden Gems in Jaisalmer for a Unique Visit

Jaisalmer, often known as the "Golden City" of India, is famous for its stunning sand dunes, intricate architecture, and vibrant culture. While the city’s top attractions like the Jaisalmer Fort and Sam Sand Dunes are well-known, there are several lesser-known spots that offer a unique and peaceful experience. These hidden gems will give you a different perspective of this desert city. Let’s explore some of these secret treasures in Jaisalmer. And to make your trip even more memorable, a Jaisalmer Sightseeing Tour with Rajasthan Taxi Wala will help you explore all these wonderful sites comfortably.

1. Kuldhara Village

Kuldhara is a ghost village located around 17 kilometers from Jaisalmer. Once inhabited by the Paliwal Brahmins, this village is now deserted, and its eerie silence adds to its mystery. Legend has it that the villagers left overnight, cursed the place, and never returned. Walking through the ruins, you’ll see crumbling houses and ancient wells. Kuldhara has an intriguing history and is an off-the-beaten-path destination for those interested in local legends and abandoned places. The best way to reach Kuldhara is with a reliable Taxi Service in Jaisalmer, like Rajasthan Taxi Wala, which ensures a smooth and hassle-free journey to this mysterious village.

2. Desert Culture Centre and Museum

While Jaisalmer is known for its grand forts and palaces, the Desert Culture Centre and Museum is a quiet, lesser-known spot that offers a deep dive into the culture and heritage of the region. Located near the Jaisalmer Fort, this small museum showcases traditional Rajasthani artifacts, musical instruments, and ancient scriptures. You can learn about the desert lifestyle, the history of Jaisalmer, and even see the famous camel skeleton on display. This museum is an ideal spot to understand the traditions and customs of the Thar Desert’s people. A Jaisalmer Sightseeing Tour can take you here along with other hidden gems of the city.

3. Bada Bagh

Bada Bagh, or the "Big Garden," is a peaceful and scenic spot located a few kilometers from the city. It is home to the royal cenotaphs (memorials) of the Maharajas of Jaisalmer. These impressive structures are made of sandstone and are intricately carved. The garden is often overlooked by tourists, making it a serene place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature and architecture. The sunset views here are breathtaking, as the sun sets behind the yellow sandstone structures, creating a mesmerizing sight. If you're looking for a quiet place away from the crowds, Bada Bagh is a hidden gem worth visiting. A visit to Bada Bagh can be easily arranged with Taxi Service in Jaisalmer through Rajasthan Taxi Wala.

4. Jaisalmer's Local Markets (Sadar Bazaar & Manak Chowk)

While Jaisalmer’s main attractions may be famous, its local markets are some of the city’s best-kept secrets. Sadar Bazaar and Manak Chowk are bustling with life and are great for those looking to experience the true culture of Jaisalmer. Here, you can shop for traditional handicrafts, textiles, pottery, and jewelry made by local artisans. The vibrant colors of the market stalls, the smell of spices in the air, and the sounds of shopkeepers bargaining with customers all contribute to the charm of these bazaars. The local markets offer an authentic experience and a chance to take home a piece of Jaisalmer’s culture. A Jaisalmer Sightseeing Tour will make sure you don’t miss these colorful markets, and with Taxi Service in Jaisalmer from Rajasthan Taxi Wala, you can visit them at your own pace.

5. Tazia Tower

The Tazia Tower is a hidden gem in Jaisalmer that few tourists know about. Located near the Jaisalmer Fort, this beautiful tower is an architectural wonder. It is a five-story structure, and its unique design is a blend of Islamic and Rajput styles. The tower was once part of the royal palace and was used to showcase decorative tazias (models of the tombs of Shiite saints) during the Muharram procession. The intricate carvings and the tower’s historical significance make it a fascinating spot for those interested in history and architecture. A Jaisalmer Sightseeing Tour with Taxi Service in Jaisalmer will guide you to this beautiful yet often overlooked monument.

6. Gadisar Lake

Gadisar Lake is a serene and tranquil lake located just outside the city. It was once the main water supply source for Jaisalmer, and its beauty is unmatched. The lake is surrounded by temples, shrines, and beautiful arches. The peaceful atmosphere here makes it a great place to take a boat ride or simply enjoy the cool breeze. Although not exactly hidden, Gadisar Lake is often overlooked by tourists who focus more on the city’s forts and palaces. If you're looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy nature, this lake is a great choice. A Jaisalmer Sightseeing Tour can ensure that you don’t miss this peaceful spot, with a comfortable ride from Taxi Service in Jaisalmer.

7. Amar Sagar Lake and Temple

Amar Sagar Lake, located about 7 kilometers from the city, is another peaceful destination that many tourists miss. The lake is surrounded by beautiful temples and small palaces. The Amar Sagar Jain Temple is an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shantinath and is a perfect example of the traditional Jain architecture. The area is calm and offers a scenic view of the lake, making it ideal for a quiet retreat. Visiting Amar Sagar gives you the opportunity to explore Jaisalmer’s ancient temples and experience the spiritual side of the desert city. A trip to Amar Sagar can be easily arranged with Taxi Service in Jaisalmer from Rajasthan Taxi Wala.

8. Longewala War Memorial
