The mystery of the Syberian Mummy

I found this documentary on youtube. It was probably made by German people and narrated into French. It's very interesting. A pity though they make one horrible mistake in the first few seconds of the video saying the "mummy is a proof of the existence of God" which not at all what the monk is saying (not to mention one must be an awful incompetent to say such a thing regarding Buddhism)!!

The documentary is in French and translated in Romanian!!

If you like this, don't hesitate to watch the "Mystery of the Tibetan Mummy" (on youtube) which is a pure jewel (English).

To eat or not to eat?

You might remember the link I had put a while ago on breatharianism..(quick reminder: Indian fellow who claims he's not eatten in 60 years; experiments are then conducted on him by a huge number of Indian and German doctors from different fields; he's put under surveillance for 9 days and indeed, he seems to be just fine: nothing goes in, nothing comes out)
Well, it turns out some Austrian people made a documentary on Mataji Prahlad Jani! And it's gonna hit the cinemas (here in France at least) the 15th of December!
Apparently they are trying to give a detailed account of the research that has been done, the studies conducted on the man and (hopefully)encourage people to ask some daring questions about the way we see reality.
I cannot wait to watch it.
Here's a concise description (in English!) on the way the experiments had been conducted.
And here's the trailer.
