Carahunge – 7,500-year-old stone circle in Armenia aligned to Cygnus’s brightest star

Zorats Karer (Zorac‘ K‘arer, Zorac Qarer, Zorakarer, Zorakar Armenian: Զորաց Քարեր), also called Karahunj, Carahunge or the Armenian Stonehenge) is an archaeological site near the city of Sisian in the Syunik province of Armenia. The site is located on a rocky promontory near Sisian. About 223 large stone tombs can be found in the area. It was explored by a team of archaeologists from the Institut für Vorderasiatische Archäologie, University of Munich who published their findings in 2000. They concluded that “in contrast to the opinion that Zorakarer may be called an Armenian Stonehenge”, Zorats Karer “was mainly a necropolis from the Middle Bronze Age to the Iron Age.” The Munich archaeologists add that it may have served “as a place of refuge in times of war”, possibly in the Hellenistic – Roman period (c. 300 BC – 300 AD). A wall of rocks and compacted soil (loam) was built around the site with vertical rocks plugged into it for reinforcement: today only these upright rocks remain – Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorats_Karer)

A new study into Armenia’s Carahunge stone circle complex, has shown that it is arguably one of the oldest known megalithic sites outside of Turkey, dating to around 5500 BC. Moreover, investigations by Russian prehistorian Professor Paris Herouni indicate that Carahunge (car means “stone” in Armenian, and hunge means “voice” or “sound”), located some 200km from the Armenian capital Yerevan, not far from the town of Sisian, was created as an astronomical observatory marking the movement not only of the sun and moon, but also the stars.

Key hole to Cygnus

More significant is that Carahunge’s principal stellar alignment is towards Deneb, the bright star in the constellation of Cygnus the swan. A number of the standing stones bear smooth angled spy holes that are 4 to 5cm in diameter, each one being angled towards different points on the horizon or ancient targets in the heavens. A key stone had a hole that was focused due north towards the meridian. This suggested that it targeted a bright star at its culmination – i.e. the highest or lowest point it reaches as it revolves around the north celestial pole.

According to Andrew Collins, “Herouni ran the angle of the stone through various astronomical programmes and found that it was aligned to Deneb at a date of around 5,500 BC, suggesting that this was the time frame in which Carahunge was in use by an advanced society of astronomer priests. It was this alignment that provided the key to finally dating the site, which was expected to have been constructed during this distant epoch. It is even now being claimed by Professor Herouni that Carahunge is the oldest stone obervatory in the world, although surely the stone setting at Nabta Playa in Egypt’s Libyan desert is at least as old as Carahunge, and arguably older. Plus there are my own findings with respect to the orientations of various Pre-Pottery Neolithic (PPN) sites in southeast Turkey, including the 12,000 year old Gobekli Tepe. In The Cygnus Mystery (2006) I demonstrated that, like Carahunge, they seemed to be orientated towards Cygnus’s brightest star, Deneb”.

The importance of Professor Herouni’s findings regarding Carahunge is that in a time frame little different to the Neolithic city of Catal Huyuk in neighbouring Turkey, there was an astronomical observatory in Armenia not just aligned to the sun and moon, but also to the stars, and Cygnus in particular. I suspect that the interest in this star group goes back beyond the PPN sites of southeast Turkey to the Palaeolithic age, and the peoples who created the amazing cave art in Western Europe. Representations of Cygnus certainly exist in the Lascaux cave in the Dordogne region of southern France, and I suspect it is present in various other painted caves as well.

So why was Cygnus important?

Primarily it is because of its use as a time marker, its stars being so close to the north celestial pole they move very little across hundreds of years. Then there is its position on the Milky Way, exactly where this starry stream bifurcates to form what is known as the Cygnus Rift or Dark Rift. Universally, this area of the sky has been seen as the point of access into the sky-world, as well as a place of cosmic birth and death. It was also the place where the souls of the dead traveled in the afterlife, very often accompanied by, or in the form of, a bird, seen as a psycho-pomp, a soul carrier. Very often the identity of these birds corresponded with how the stars of Cygnus were represented in regional mythologies – a falcon in Egypt, a vulture on the Euphrates and a swan in Hellenic Greece and Turkey.

I am not surprised that Carahunge is aligned to Cygnus, although it is always pleasing when one’s theories are shown to be real. I think that in years to come we shall find a lot more about the cult of the swan, and its relationship to the earliest sky-religions of the ancient world. I also think there is much more to learn about the prehistoric beliefs of the proto Armenians, and how they held true age old beliefs that went back all the way to Palaeolithic times. I also made another surprising observation, the name Carahunge is also spelt as Karahunge (where Kara means Stone and Hunge refers to Voice/ Sound).

Earth Energy Grid, Portals and Other Mysterious Places

Some places across the globe, for years, have baffled the scientific community and historians alike. These places are mysterious and possess characteristics that have not been explained scientifically, even after decades or perhaps centuries of study and research that have gone into them. Radio frequency failure, compass malfunction, aircraft going off the radar and other unexplained malfunctions of navigational and electronic equipment are some of the bizarre events witnessed at these places over the years. Names such as Zona Di Silencio or the Zone of Silence, in Northern Mexico, The Bermuda Triangle, The Devils Triangle – off the Japanese coast, The Carnac Stones in France, The Gate of the Gods are predominant names in this enlistment. Here we try to find a few answers to some of these perplexities that have intrigued mankind over the years.

Perhaps the most famous or rather infamous of all the mysterious places is the Bermuda Triangle. For centuries this stretch of ocean covering more than 500,000 sq miles located between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda have tested the intelligences of scientists, experienced sailors and military investigators alike. Philip Coppens observes, “we witness planes disappearing, weird lights being seen and a whole bunch of other weirdness in this tight corner of the Atlantic. Crews of ships have just disappeared without any sign of struggle and absolutely no trace of them have been found over the years”. What caused the ships to disappear, why have the aeronautical and navigational equipment stopped working or changed course by itself? Historical navigational records show, the anomalies of Bermuda Triangle is much older than most people realize. In fact it all started with Christopher Columbus’ navigational log. He being such a respected sailor and an esoteric navigator, his logs about the journey to the new world is considered remarkably accurate. As he approached the area called the Bermuda Triangle, he witnessed strange phenomena such as compass malfunctions, the following night he witnessed a strange ball of fire hit the ocean. Also he witnessed weather abnormalities and a series of other events that cannot be explained as logically foreseen. So clearly, the events at Bermuda Triangle is not an urban myth that started in the threshold of 20th century, its as old as there are accounts of people going into that area.

About 450 years after Columbus on December 5, 1945 the USAF faced the Bermuda Triangle’s most perplexing mystery. At 14:00 HRS, 5 torpedo bombers flew from an airbase at Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a routine training exercise. Not long into the 2 hour long mission, all 5 planes were suddenly gone. The Mystery was compounded when USAF sent a rescue mission and it too disappeared. 6 planes, all flown by skilled pilots, had flown into oblivion. This incident sent shock waves across the United States Air Force and other defense establishments, because this was modern era, we had equipments to trace them, we had radio, we had the RADAR and yet 6 planes had vanished without trace. According to Philip Coppens, “as if all of these aircraft have been snapped out of our reality, into ‘something else’ and of course what that something else is, that’s the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle”.

Over the years only a few have lived to tell us what anomalies occur at the Bermuda Triangle. However, American pilot Bruce Gernon is an exception. In 1970, Gernon, his father and a business associate were flying from the Bahamas to Florida, when Gernon reported seeing a strange cloud directly in front of their plane. Then as they approached, Gernon reported seeing the cloud form a doughnut shaped hole or a vortex. “The hole was initially large but gradually narrowed down, and as I entered the ‘tunnel’, a strange thing happened. It was like looking down into a rifle barrel. It started swirling slowly counter clockwise and I witnessed some intense electricity and there were flashes going on and off and all I could see was a grayish/ yellowish fog, I call it electronic fog. I noticed that my instruments were malfunctioning and at the same time I witnessed this unbelievable sensation”. Gernon says when he finally exited the tunnel he radioed the Miami ATC, but they could not see his plane on their Radar screen. “And then about three minutes later the radio operator came online and he said he located me over Miami, and I couldn’t believe it because I had been flying only for over 33 minutes, whereas the distance should have been about an hour and 33 minutes”. Could such a discrepancy in time and distance happen and could ETs be using such gateways to travel to earth?

Herein comes the scientific angle. According to Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, it is possible. Einstein’s theory of being able to bend space using a gravitational pull, could be applied by the Alien crafts, by using these places to acquire and harness those extra amounts of energy, warp the distances and thus attain a burst of speed in a direction of where they want to go. According to another thought process, “whenever there is an energy emission from a higher dimension or a higher plane, the energy emission would be in form of Vortices, so Vortices and Gateways are the same thing”. Since wormholes are theoretically located all across the universe, could similar gateways be used for traveling across the universe?

Also could these gateways exist in smaller areas on Earth, and strange electromagnetic levels be the key to discovering them? In most of such reports we find a strange consistency involving strange electromagnetic phenomenon in form of strange vapor or cloud. According to David Childress, “its quite possible that Bermuda Triangle is one such inter-dimensional doorway that’s used by these Aliens”. With reports of UFOs appearing and ships and portals disappearing, some believe that Bermuda Triangle is a portal that works in both directions. So if, as Ancient Alien theorists believe, that this portal has been used by ETs to visit earth since antiquity, might we one day use the same portal to visit them? Also if there is a portal in the open waters of Bermuda, might there be more such portals on Land?

A little over 400 miles south of El Paso Texas, in northern Mexico, stretches a remote and rugged section of high desert. This area near the town of Ceballos is referred to by the locals as Zona Del Silencio or the Zone of Silence. Its at the epicenter of some of the strangest phenomena ever recorded on earth. Nothing seems to work in this area, the cellphone drops out of range, the radio doesn’t catch any signal, the compass just keeps spinning, its completely bizarre. There are strange rocks everywhere, we even witness strange mutated animals in the area. The Zone of Silence was first identified by Francisco Sarabia, a Mexican pilot who claimed that his radio mysteriously failed to function while flying over the area. Its located between the same parallel as the Bermuda Triangle i.e. between 26°N and 28°N of equator and as a result goes and connects to the Egyptian Pyramids. On July 11, 1970 when the USAF lost an Athena Missile that was launched from its facility at Green River, Utah. It was programed to land  700 miles away at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. But due to some unexplained reason, the missile flew several hundred miles past its range to the Zone of Silence. According to a NASA Spokesperson, the missile mysteriously got pulled into the Zone of Silence. But this is not the only thing that got ‘pulled’ into this area. The Ancient Alien Theorists believe that an unusually large number of meteorites have crashed into the area. According to Logan Hawkes – the author of The Mexico less Traveled, “there is a very strong magnetic signature to this place and this has been proven scientifically, however we need more research to establish, whether this magnetism is strong enough to pull space debris like meteorites. And I don’t think such research is happening right now“.

Starting 3000 years ago,  the Anasazi Indians inhabited the area to the North of Zona Del Silencio, today’s American Southwest. The word Anasazi means Ancient Ones and they paid great attention to the stars. Scientists have established that at about 1054 AD, a supernova explosion was visible from earth. Many believe that that first ever drawing of this event was found inside an Anasazi cave dwelling.  South of the Zone of Silence, established cultures like the Maya, seem to have exact knowledge of such celestial events. Its often debated that Anasazi and the Mesoamerican cultures often used the Zone of Silence as their meeting place. But what other connections exist between these cultures and are they of celestial origin? Both the Anasazi and the Mesoamericans were great believers in Sky People – of beings who came from the sky. And the description of these heavenly people is consistent in their reports, as tall, pale skinned, white haired beings, and that is not indigenous to the region, but does match the South American descriptions of their Gods. According to the local legends, these ancient Gods made themselves known to the ancient people, is possible that these heavenly people are still letting them known today? We have established reports of UFO sightings in the region and its considerably higher than any other area in the vicinity. One of the most prominent ones came from the town of Ceballos one summer afternoon, when hundreds of people reported an object hovering over the desert on the outskirts of the town. It was described to be about 100 mt wide and had multicolored lights flashing, it wasn’t doing anything, but was just hovering over the desert. After a while it just ‘took off’ and headed towards the Zone of Silence. According to the Ancient Alien Theorists, there is a connection between the magnetic signature of this place, the alien Gods and the present day UFO sightings, however are there more such places across the world that could provide us more direct evidences of such occurrences in the past?

Located about 800 miles South East of Lima, Peru on the shores of Lake Titicaca is a sight that have mystified visitors from all around the world. Shamans still come and offer prayers at a rock wall on this high plateau as they have done for generations. This is called Puerta del Hijo Marka or the Gate of the Gods. Its a doorway carved into solid rock. According to David Childress, ” it really appears appears to be a Gateway, but it doesn’t really go anywhere”. Its literally in the middle of nowhere, at 14,000 ft, yet this is a perfect rectangle carved out of a solid block of rock and right at the bottom its got another indent in it, that looks like a door. The Peruvians refer to it as the Gate of the Gods. But the baffling question is, why would someone make a doorway, in the middle of nowhere at 14000 ft and one that doesn’t go anywhere? There has to be a way to get across this. According to Inca legend, the first priest Amaro Muro is said to have traveled through this doorway, using a special object to activate it turning the solid rock into what is known as the Star Gate. This Star Gate was activated by help of a golden disc and this golden disc fell from the sky. He held the golden disc into the gateway in a recessed area, and the gateway activated and he passed though it, never to be seen again. Archeologists have noticed a depression at the center of the doorway, and it is believed it was perhaps this depression, where the golden disc was placed. This disc was made of gold and other precious metals, and perhaps was a technological device which had the ability to open up inter-dimensional gateways. Furthermore, according to the local legends, these priests were called space brothers and came from other world.  May they have come to earth through this Gateway? However, could a device to activate this door actually exist? And if so, where would the doorway lead? The Gate of the Gods could well be one end of a wormhole, a type of portal used to connect to another part of the universe or another dimension. Wormholes are an accepted element of Theoretical and Particle Physics. But have they actually existed on some of worlds most mysterious places. The aliens are perhaps coming to earth in inter dimensional crafts that allow then to travel through hyper space. And they can travel between their dimension and ours in literally no time. But to do that they have to travel through these wormholes and enter planet earth through a portal. What if one end of the portal does really exist at Puerta del Hijo Marka? Does it qualify for a reason why Peru has always been considered as a focal point of UFO and ET activities? Lake Titicaca has all sorts of strange lights associated with it. All the more, people have reported seeing strange blue balls of fire and even alien crafts coming out of the lake, and even reported seeing beings in some of the sightings. And these being are reported to have been tall, pale skinned and white haired, completely non indigenous to the local population. Another way the Ancient Aliens might have traveled is through Teleportation. But is it possible to make an object disappear at one place and make it appear in another? At the Max Planck Institute, they have already been able to dematerialize sub atomic particles, and made them reappear somewhere else. This could be a secret the ancient people knew. The area around Puerta del Hijo Marka still holds the energy and its evident as you approach the area.

But is Puerta del Hijo Marka the only mysterious place in Peru? Are there other mysterious places here? High up in the mountains of Peru, 850 miles from the Gate pf the Gods, is a breathtaking 2 mile long plateau another area of reportedly high energy. For centuries it has been a powerful scared place among the Incan people. Its called Markawasi. Markawasi is said to have very bizarre energy patterns. According to Kathy Moore, “Markawasi is a place of wizards and genies and people treat it with a great deal of veneration. When people go there, they experience a special kind of energy – or a state of Euphoria”. Most geologists believe that the stone figures at Markawasi are naturally formed through weathering and other natural processes. But is there more here than first meets the eye? Some consider Markawasi as a massive sculpture garden left behind by some ancient civilization. Could this then be not just a collection of rocks, but a sanctuary of stone monuments made by ancient civilization hundreds of thousands years ago. Researcher Daniel Rousseau was the first to make this claim in 1952. According to Kathy Moore, “He was shown a photograph of a colossal head made of stone, up in the high mountains above Lima. He made an expedition just to see the stone face, and one at Markawasi, he was astonished to see there were hundreds of such carved stones”. Among these figures people have been able to decipher few very prominent ones:

If these figures are man made, who may have carved them? The local legend says that its a place of ancient giant gods. In fact when the Spanish chroniclers came to Peru and investigated the shamanic traditions there, they were told about God named Viracocha who came in garb of man to inspect his territory, and he had given men different orders, and there were some who disobeyed them, and he promptly turned them to stone. The name Markawasi provides a clue to the time and origin of the place. The name itself predates the Incan Empire. According to Daniel Rousseau, the name Markawasi probably meant two storied house and referred to the strange complex of buildings located on the site. Rousseau further states that the ancient people who built Markawasi were called the Masma and supposedly, Peru was not their only home. Robert M Schoch observes, “The Masma were very ancient, very advanced civilization, who seemed to have had a global existence and have traveled worldwide at a very early period, in prerecorded history. Rousseau spent a lot of time looking for evidences of this civilization and seemed to have finally found it in Markawasi. He thought Markawasi was some kind of a sculpture garden built by the Masma”. If a global community of such advancement existed, whet happened to it? Was it, as some believe wiped out in the great flood, described in the Bible? Was this created as a record of events or a memento that could be passed on to the future generations, because they thought they were not going to live forever and they wanted to leave some kind of a record or warning for future generations. The next perplexing question is, if such an advanced civilization existed in antiquity, where did they come from. According to Author, George Hunt Williamson, “Markawasi was a sacred forest where the Ancient Aliens met to plan for the future and many UFO researchers believe they are still returning to this day”. David Childress says, “the most famous UFO photograph from Peru, was taken by a businessman near Markawasi, who himself was trekking up to the Markawasi Plateau, and when he saw down the valley he saw a bright silvery disk floating in the valley in broad daylight. This happened in the 70s”. Does Markawasi emit a special kind of energy and if so, have they been attracting visitors for thousands of years. Although we do not clearly understand the anomalies in these areas, however the presence of a high energy emissions, electromagnetic impulses, geomagnetic anomalies, subterranean electricity and such possibilities cannot be undermined or overruled.

Is there a reason why these inter dimensional portals appear on certain spots on our planet? Is there a pattern that could be formed. Is there a code and if yes, did our ancestors know about it? According to the ancient Astronaut theorists, the energy fields around the world are not randomly located. they are connected by what is known as the World Energy Grid – a geometric pattern of energy that crisscrosses the globe. According to David Childress, “the energy fields across the world are stronger in some areas as compared to the others, and in these areas they form sort of a Vortex, thereby making the energy more useful in its sense”. The Earth Grid Theory States that the Earth Energy Fields are connected with one another by means of a geometric pattern, and this has existed since time earth was created.

The concept of Energy Grid, for our civilization extends back to the Pythagorean School of Thought in ancient Greece. The theory states that the Earth is a dodecahedron (δωδεκάεδρον) and the geometric shapes and forms is all that matter is composed of, including the Earth. Hence it draws a parallel between them causing an energy interchange at certain prominent points of the  dodecahedron. Another puzzling phenomena brought to notice by French UFO Investigator Mitchel, was that the UFO sightings do not happen in random. There is a route map and a pattern to where the UFO sightings happen and it follows not only the exact longitude patterns, but also the Earth Energy Grid. Mitchel’s report was based upon every single UFO sighting since the Roswell incident. Scientists now believe that the concentration of energy levels and UFO sightings are not a matter of coincidence. The megalithic structures in these special locations were crested to amplify the energy fields. Its a Theory known as Geomancy. By creating pyramid shaped structures and tall stone obelisks, we can magnify and channelize this power. It works on earth exactly the same way acupuncture works on the human body. In Europe, thousands of km of land stretches have been logically connected through straight lines, they are called Lead Lines. These lead lines stretch all the way from England, to France down to Italy. And on these lead lines we have names of places, and the common factor to all of these names is the word ‘star’. This cannot be attributed to the stone age man. Someone told them to do so. And they most often were called Gods, or people who came from the skies. So the question is were these people extraterrestrials? Unless the scientific community is logically able to derive answers to some of the most mysterious places on earth, we will only be left with lingering questions, and ones that cannot be answered with the approach the conventional scholarship have been taking since time immemorial. Are some of these places really inter dimensional portals, did the ancient aliens transport them through these Star Gates to another dimension. We are only left with perplexing question, that we need answers to. And answers will come only if we THINK.

Göbekli Tepe and the Lost Civilization

Located about 500 miles away from the crowded streets of Istanbul, is Sanliurfa in eastern Turkey. There over a dusty hilltop in 1994, a Shepard noticed a piece of stone sticking out of his field. He began to dig around the stone, eventually unearthing a 19 foot pillar. Its edges were precise and rising from the middle was a relief carving of a very strange animal. Upon closer examination it was determined that the finely chiseled stones have been carved by expert stone masons, using advanced tools. When the news of this discovery reached the scientific community, one fact became obvious, a Kurdish Shepard has stumbled upon the whats could be the most astonishing archeological discovery in modern times. A site called Göbekli Tepe.

Göbekli Tepe is the oldest human-made place of worship yet discovered. Until excavations began, a complex on this scale was not thought possible for a community so ancient. The massive sequence of stratification layers suggests several millennia of activity, perhaps reaching back to the Mesolithic. The oldest occupation layer (stratum III) contains monolithic pillars linked by coarsely built walls to form circular or oval structures. So far, four such buildings, with diameters between 10 and 30m have been uncovered. Geophysical surveys indicate the existence of 16 additional structures.

Stratum II, dated to Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) (7500–6000 BC), has revealed several adjacent rectangular rooms with floors of polished lime, reminiscent of Roman terrazzo floors. The most recent layer consists of sediment deposited as the result of agricultural activity.

The monoliths are decorated with carved reliefs of animals and of abstract pictograms. The pictograms may represent commonly understood sacred symbols, as known from Neolithic cave paintings elsewhere. The carefully carved figurative reliefs depict lions, bulls, boars, foxes, gazelles, asses, snakes and other reptiles, insects, arachnids, and birds, particularly vultures and water fowl. At the time the shrine was constructed the surrounding country was much lusher and capable of sustaining this variety of wildlife, before millennia of settlement and cultivation resulted in the near–Dust Bowl conditions prevailing today.

Vultures also feature in the iconography of the Neolithic sites of Çatalhöyük and Jericho; it is believed that in the early Neolithic culture of Anatolia and the Near East the deceased were deliberately exposed in order to be excarnated by vultures and other birds of prey. (The head of the deceased was sometimes removed and preserved—possibly a sign of ancestor worship.) This, then, would represent an early form of sky burial, as practiced today by Tibetan Buddhists and Zoroastrians in India.

Few humanoid forms have surfaced at Göbekli Tepe, but include a relief of a naked woman, posed frontally in a crouched position, that Schmidt likens to the Venus accueillante figures found in Neolithic north Africa; and of at least one decapitated corpse surrounded by vultures. Some of the pillars, namely the T-shaped ones, have carved arms, which may indicate that they represent stylized humans (or anthropomorphic gods). Another example is decorated with human hands in what could be interpreted as a prayer gesture, with a simple stole or surplice engraved above; this may be intended to represent a temple priest.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe#The_complex

For the last 15 years the German archeological team has been excavating this land and they have been performing ‘carbon dating’ as fat as they go. And it has taken them 15 years to uncover about 5%-7% of a gigantic civilization. So far the archeologists have been able to locate circles upon circles, perfect circles – with carved stone pillars 19 feet tall and weighing 15 tonnes each. Each of these pillars have been carved out of single block of stone and have been intricately decorated with relief feature of animals and birds. Tests have proved that Göbekli Tepe is almost 12,000 years old. Almost 7,000 years older than Mesopotamia, long heralded as the cradle of human civilization. No other site is this advanced and its this old. The chance discovery of Göbekli Tepe has doubled the age of human civilization.

In words of Graham Hancock, “We have this gigantic site with huge circular megalithic structure, that stands there as a mystery, asking us to go figure how was this done, whats the background to this. We have no idea, who made them. They just come out of the dark of the last ice age, about which we know nothing, and enter this stage of history already fully formed. And to my mind this is indicative of a major forgotten episode of human history”. Could the discovery of Göbekli Tepe, change our understanding of human history, and might prove that mankind’s most puzzling myths might just be based in facts. To put things into perspective, the site of Göbekli Tepe is more than 12000 years old, that’s 7000 years earlier than Stonehenge and Great Pyramid. So clearly we have something that contradicts the global understanding of the evolution of Human Civilization.

Curiously, after 15 years of serious excavation, archeologists have failed to recover a single stone cutting tool, nor have they found any agricultural implements. The history of Göbekli Tepe is further compelled by ancient stone carvings found throughout the site. Located about 300 miles from Mount Ararat, the site many Biblical scholars believe to be the resting place of Noah’s Ark, the relief carvings of Göbekli Tepe suggest a time in the region’s history when the indigenous animal population may have been of a totally different origin. But do these provide any evidence of the great flood as described in the Bible. According to Graham Hancock, “Archeologists are aware of more then 2000 myths about the great flood”. Scholars believe that stories of a cataclysmic flood as described in the Bible is also found on the pillars of Göbekli Tepe. If this is true, that would push the date of the Great Flood, to the end of the last ice age. That’s thousands of years earlier than the Biblical period.

Perhaps more compelling than that is the question, who built Göbekli Tepe? What was its purpose? And how did such a site remain in such pristine condition, for more than 10000 years? Philip Coppens seems to have an answer to this. According to Coppens, “If you look at Göbekli Tepe, this site was carefully placed under the sand. It was actually buried”. However no answer has been found to why the site was buried. It could have been to save the site from invaders, or perhaps to preserve it, in a hope to return to it some day. No matter what the reason is, the fact remains that the site of Göbekli Tepe is more then 12000 years old, and that has logically pushed the genesis of human civilization by more then 70000 years. And this could well be just the beginning. If human civilization could have thrived and existed 12000 years ago, would it be too outlandish to believe that, there were very advanced human civilizations existing in the highlands of Bolivia about 17000 years ago.

Your call. After all I am convinced.

The Egyptian Enigma – The Great Pyramids and the Sphinx

The enigma of The Great Pyramid has intrigued archeologists, historians and engineers alike, and none of them have provided logically satisfying  answers to the Egyptian enigma. We have been told to dwell upon the popular opinion, that the Great Pyramids have been constructed by hauling massive blocks of stone, driven by enormous slave population, up the ramp to an incredible height of about 150 meters above the ground, thereby completing a structure of such magnitude, within 20-22 years. However, the very fact that 100-200 tonnes of stone blocks have been hauled close to 500ft above the ground, is a strong evidence of technology itself. And one that we absolutely don’t understand. And hence Egypt for millions have remained forever opaque, an enigma that withstood all the tests of time. Historians and geologists from University of Boston such as Dr. Robert Shock and John Anthony West have jolted the conventional educational establishment, with geological evidences of the fact that the pyramids were thousands of years older than what has been thought.

West believes that ancient civilization was not only much older but also much wiser than what the orthodox scholarship had maintained. Also the fact that we as a civilization are the best of the breed and whatever happened before was comparatively inferior, as we delve further into the corridors of history, might not be true after all. Here we have an evidence of a civilization that has hauled 150-200 tonnes stone blocks and have been able to create a masterpiece like The Great Pyramid and Sphinx, however no one precisely knows how  the task was accomplished. Colin Wilson – another eminent author and an Ancient Alien Theorist, tried engaging a Japanese establishment specializing into heavy hauling, to execute lifting of blocks weighing 70 tonnes each up-to a height of 150 feet above the ground, and they had immense problems in acquiring the precision needed for such an act. However evidences of a similar act could be witnessed at the Kings Chamber in the Great Pyramid, flawlessly executed. According to the ancient alien theorists, the Great Pyramid is a classic example of a technologically advanced civilization that existed thousands of years before the first dynastic period in Egypt.

In the Giza plateau in Egypt stands what the Encyclopedia Britannica calls the greatest single building ever constructed by mankind. It stands taller than a forty storied sky scrapper and is a true work of engineering masterpiece. Containing about two million three hundred thousand blocks of stone, weighing an average of 2.5 tonnes each. All of this, we are told have been achieved without wheels, pulleys or the block and tackle. The entire surface of the pyramid was once coated with 16 tonnes of limestone blocks, polished to the tolerance of a contact lens, and stuck together so tightly that a sharp knife wouldn’t pass between the joints. Yet we are forced to believe that this is just a glorified, royal tomb, created by primitive man, walking out of the caves nearby. If an attempt was made today to create the pyramid we would not be able to quarry such huge blocks to similar heights, we do not have mechanical devices to accomplish such a feat. According to a calculation performed by Robert Bauval, to move a stone block weighing one and a half tonnes, considering the friction factor and the maximum angle of the ramp, it would need close to eight hundred men putting a concerted simultaneous effort. The logical picture doesn’t fit the jig-saw.

Some of the artifacts located in and around the site have over the period of time been closely examined by engineers, investigators and experts. What has been noticed is that there are definite signs of tooling and automation. The precision achieved is definitely not handcrafted. Each cut stone at the corner has a curved gap, and the measurement of this curve gap, formed a ‘true’ radius, that was consistent throughout each site. Tell tale signs of machining are precision and repeatability, and the artifact demonstrate both these characteristics. The ‘plaining’ technique used for leveling the inner surface, illustrate space age precision, when measured using modern day tools and equipments. And to repeat this precision over an area as big as the pyramid would require very high grade engineering equipment. Some believe that ancient builders who built the pyramid used at the least, high speed drills and ultrasound techniques. Does mankind need to revise its theory on Egypt?

Inventor Patrick Flanagan is best known for his book on pyramid power. He believed that the primitive man had an access to the capabilities of the pyramidal formation itself, which is beginning to be rediscovered today. It has been established by Flanagan that if you are designing pyramidal microwave point, the impedance of free space is ideally about 377 Ohms and it changes as you change the angle of the pyramid formation. This has been well accepted in modern electronics. And if you measure the impedance of free space of the Great Pyramid it comes to exactly 377 Ohms, meaning its a perfect resonator, enabling it not only to resonate radio frequency based energy but also other scalar energy fields such a zero point energy. There are some who believe that the magnitude of The Great Pyramid, is beyond mechanical realm, and that a hi-tech hydraulic system was employed to achieve this feat.

So if they really possessed such knowledge, then where, when and from whom did they get it? According to Zecharia Sitchin, a scholar and an expert in the ancient Sumerian civilization, considered to be the cradle of human civilization, all ancient technology are a legacy of visitors from outer space. Its important to accept the reality, that people from another planet, much more advanced than us, who first appeared about four hundred and fifty thousand years ago, from a planet called Nibiru, also called the Planet-X, X denoting the number ten, as its also the 10th planet of our solar system. This planet crosses path with our solar system every three thousand six hundred years.

Egyptian legend has it, that genesis of human civilization goes many thousands years before the Pharaohs, to about forty thousand years, a theory that has been discounted by mainstream archeologists and historians. However on the other side of the world, in India, the Vedic texts also talk about the beginning of human civilization around the same time period. So I don’t think this sound be ridiculed, as some nonsense piled upon us. Edgar Cayce is of the opinion that, much of the sophisticated technology we see at the Pyramids of Giza are a product of a technically advanced civilization that existed in antiquity, who could use the forces of nature to effect matter.

Graham Hancock says, “We are a species with amnesia”, and we have conveniently forgotten a major episode in human history and evolution, Conditioned by society and civilization we have reached a point where we not only discredit our predecessors, we also fail to learn the lessons they are trying to impart. Here are further evidences that cannot be ruled out as being mere coincidences, technological awareness that surely doesn’t match up to the time when they have been demonstrated.

• The Great Pyramid is precisely aligned to true North, South, East and West.
• If you take the perimeter of the pyramid and divide it by two times the height,  you get a number that is exactly equivalent to the number ∏ or PI – 3.14159 up to the fifteenth digit.
• What about the fact that even though the sides of the base of the pyramid are some 757 feet long,  it still forms an almost perfect square?  Every angle in the base is exactly 90 degrees.
• Although the Egyptians kept very careful records about everything they ever did;  every king they had,  every war they fought,  and every structure they built, there were no records of them ever having built the pyramids?
• Egyptians had not even invented the wheel yet,  but the blocks that they had to carry to build the pyramids weighed about 2 tons each? 4,000 lbs.?
• If you take the line of longitude that the pyramid lies on and the latitude that the pyramid lies on,  31 degrees north by 31 degrees west (the fact that they are the same number is a coincidence???)  they are the two lines that cover the most combined land area in the world. In essence, the pyramid is the center of all of the land mass of the whole earth.
• We have also noticed exact alignment to geostationary bodies such as the Orion constellation belt and the path of the Sun during solstices.
  
• The height of the pyramid (481 feet) is almost exactly 1/1,000,000,000 of the distance from the earth to the sun (480.6 billion feet)?
• What about all of that fungi that was found in King Tutu’s chamber?   Fungi which has never before been seen on earth?

Analyze this.
