A 1900s postcard showing Canigou visible from Marseilles 500km away at sunset.
At that distance over the curve the mountain range should be well below the horizon & none of it should be visible on a globe earth.
How is it explained? By using magic words like mirage, refraction
Canigou peak seen from Allauch, Marseille, France year after year.

The Exposition Internationale d’Électricité was an exhibition held in Marseille from April to October of 1908. ImageImageImageImage
Electricity was given a “face” in the shape of La Fée Électricite. Public response to the Electricity Fairy was overwhelming. The dazzling allegorical figure, giving a human face to a physical phenomenon, conveyed impressions of a luxury and extravagance so far not seen. ImageImage

Green Shield Stamps seemed to be everywhere during the 60s & 70s. The GSS scheme was an incentive scheme introduced into the UK in 1958. It was aimed at increasing custom at participating sales outlets. Stamps were given to shoppers with every purchase.
It just so happened that 33 was chose to be printed on all stamps. This had nothing to do with price or value of the stamps. Were a massive amount of people unwittingly participating in some sort of occult ritual?
The number of stamps each shopper received depended on how much was spent in the store. The more money you spent, the more stamps you got. The stamps were then stuck into a book.
