Ancient and Suppressed Discoveries w/Jonathan Gray on Coast to Coast AM

9 Mar ’13

International explorer, archaeologist and author Jonathan Gray has traveled the world to gather data on ancient mysteries. Over the past 37 years, he has penetrated some largely unexplored areas, including parts of the Amazon headwaters. He has also led expeditions to the bottom of the sea and to remote mountain and desert regions of the world.

In the course of his explorations, Jonathan began to uncover evidence of surprising out of place artifacts. According to what he was taught at school, these were impossible! They simply should not exist! And these were not just isolated anomalies. There was a global pattern to them, suggesting an ancient worldwide civilization of astonishing proportions. His book, Dead Men’s Secrets, catalogues more than a thousand pieces of evidence of a lost super science and technology, including dozens of achievements ahead of our day.

BRIEN FOERSTER – Lost Technology of Peru and Bolivia + Interview DVD

30 Jul ’12

I recently had the pleasure of helping Brien Foerster out with the cover of his upcoming book and DVD on ancient technology in Bolivia and Peru. Well worth investigating! (Sadek Bazaraa)

The Inca are believed to have come from the Tiwanaku area of Lake Titicaca at about 900 AD and settled in Cuzco about 200 years later. Conventional academics insist that they founded Cuzco, and built everything called “Inca”. However, the glaring variations in construction techniques that we find in what is left of preHispanic Cuzco tell a different story. Brien will tell us what he has discovered about the technology used to create these structures and also give an examination of the ‘LongHead’ of South America, a bizarre race, who often had red hair and were of unknown origin. They had incredible megalithic walls, advanced technology and strange energies that are still present there. Join Brien, with Robert Schoch and Hugh Newman in Peru and Bolivia in November 2012.

Unexplained Stone Structures of East Asia

22 Jun ’12

Across East Asia in places like Japan and Korea exist enigmatic stone structures. Some megalithic, some steles and dolmens. Could there be connections to the stone structures in East Asia to others around the world? And could these pieces add to the puzzle that we still have yet to complete.

Excavations to restart at Neolithic site of Gobeklitepe

18 May ’12

This year’s excavations will begin soon in Gobeklitepe, which is regarded as the world’s oldest temple and commonly named the “zero point of civilization.” This ancient temple is located in the eastern Turkish province of Sanliurfa.

… Schmidt said there was a complicated motif of some 50 animal figures on the T-shaped pillar that was discovered in the previous season’s excavations. He said this was first of its kind, adding, “We see an eagle motif catching a snake on the same pillar, and it shows us that these figures tell us very developed stories. We will work with a team of foreign scientists and archaeologists in order to examine and solve the symbols on the artworks in Gobeklitepe. We are currently in the process of forming some international working groups to solve and understand this symbolic world. A working group will come to Sanliurfa in October and a small symposium will be held on this issue.”

New excavation reveals never before seen Mayan symbols and figures

16 May ’12

A vast city built by the ancient Mayan civilisation and discovered nearly a century ago in modern day Guatemala is finally starting to yield its secrets – including a hint that apocalyptic predictions around the ‘end’ of the Mayan Calendar may be wrong.

Excavating for the first time in the sprawling complex of Xultzn in Guatemala’s Peten region, archaeologists have uncovered a structure that contains what appears to be a work space for the town’s scribe.Its walls are adorned with unique paintings – one depicting a line-up of men in black uniforms, and hundreds of scrawled numbers – many calculations relating to the Mayan calendar, and stretching up to 7,000 years into the future.

Hunab Ku – Mayan Galactic Center

3 Apr ’12

“Our modern day astrophysicists and astronomers, with all their sophisticated scientific instruments, are not the only humans that have wondered what may exist at the center of our galaxy. The superb astronomers and mathematicians of the ancient Mayan civilization, also pondered this question. The Mayans knew where in the sky the exact center of the galaxy was located and they even had a glyph representing it which is now named Hunab Ku ; it was known to the Mayans as The Galactic Butterfly. Their entire cosmology and extremely accurate calendars were based on the existence and location of Hunab Ku and they deeply believed that the future of mankind ultimately depends on what occurs there.”  – John Ennis

Hunab Ku was, to the Mayans, the supreme God and ultimate Creator and was located in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It represented the gateway to other galaxies beyond our Sun as well as all of the consciousness that has ever existed in this, our own galaxy. Hunab Ku, according to the Mayans, is also the consciousness which organized all matter from a whirling disk – into stars, planets and solar systems. Hunab Ku is the Mother Womb which is constantly giving birth to new stars and it gave birth to our own Sun and planet Earth as well as the other planets found in our solar system. They also believed that the ultimate Creator directs everything that happens in our galaxy from its center through the emanation of periodic energy bursts of consciousness.

Today, modern astronomers have indeed verified that at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is found a “whirling disk” with a “Black Hole” at its center that is both swallowing and giving birth to stars. Could the extraordinary low frequency radio wave images discovered coming from the center of our Milky Way galaxy be programmed bursts of energy consciousness coming from the ultimate Creator… and actually be a modern manifestation of what the ancient Mayans believed?

Paul Burley “The Sacred Sphere” – Upcoming Interview, March 20

12 Mar ’12

Paul D. Burley is an engineer and environmental geologist who has researched world mythology, pictographic and architectural symbolism, and sacred landscapes expressing spiritual traditions around the world. His journey to understand the meaning of Native American medicine wheels led him to study sacred symbolism exhibited by cultures over tens of thousands of years. His analysis of that symbolism has resulted in a new understanding of the sacred life ways of ancient and indigenous peoples. In 2003, author Paul D. Burley discovered a Native American Medicine wheel located in the Rocky mountains of Wyoming at an elevation of more then 10,00 feet. Researching prehistoric artifacts, ethnographic records, and cultural traditions and mythologies, he realized that the same circular and geometry is associated with all religions and indigenous life ways dating back to more then one million years.

Visit his website to learn about his new book, The Sacred Sphere, which explores modern, ancient, and indigenous traditions, demonstrating that cultures around the world, throughout time, communicated vital concepts with circular symbols each of which is a facet of a specific, yet until now, unrecognized universal spherical geometry.

Also, tune into Other World Radio on March 20, 2012 for a live interview.
Topic: We will discuss with Paul the specific combination of nine great circles, the geometric constructs, and the concepts of dimensions of space and time and the relationships between physical and metaphysical universes.

Ancient Builders Created Monumental Structures that Altered Sound and Mind, Say Researchers

12 Mar ’12

The results of recent research suggests that ancient, or prehistoric, builders of the monumental structures found in such diverse places as Ireland, Malta, southern Turkey and Peru all have a peculiarly common characteristic — they may have been specially designed to conduct and manipulate sound to produce certain sensory effects.

Beginning in 2008, a recent and ongoing study of the massive 6,000-year-old stone structure complex known as the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum on the island of Malta, for example, is producing some revelatory results. Like its related prehistoric temple structures on Malta, this structure features central corridors and curved chambers. But this structure is unique in that it is subterranean, created through the removal of an estimated 2,000 tons of stone carved out with stone hammers and antler picks. Low voices within its walls create eerie, reverberating echoes, and a sound made or words spoken in certain places can be clearly heard throughout all of its three levels. Now, scientists are suggesting that certain sound vibration frequencies created when sound is emitted within its walls are actually altering human brain functions of those within earshot.

“Regional brain activity in a number of healthy volunteers was monitored by EEG through exposure to different sound vibration frequencies,” reports Malta temple expert Linda Eneix of the Old Temples Study Foundation,  ”The findings indicated that at 110 Hz the patterns of activity over the prefrontal cortex abruptly shifted, resulting in a relative deactivation of the language center and a temporary shifting from left to right-sided dominance related to emotional processing and creativity. This shifting did not occur at 90 Hz or 130 Hz……In addition to stimulating their more creative sides, it appears that an atmosphere of resonant sound in the frequency of 110 or 111 Hz would have been “switching on” an area of the brain that bio-behavioral scientists believe relates to mood, empathy and social behavior. Deliberately or not, the people who spent time in such an environment under conditions that may have included a low male voice — in ritual chanting or even simple communication — were exposing themselves to vibrations that may have actually impacted their thinking.” [...]

Incredibly Mysterious Artifacts Revealed – Mayan? UFOs? Authentic?

28 Feb ’12

A recent batch of astonishing archaeological artifacts from Central America has recently surfaced on Youtube and is causing quite the stir.  As of now, there still seems to be very little information available on the complete origin and authenticity of these artifacts but I imagine we’ll be hearing a lot more on the subject in coming months.  If these artifacts can be appropriately authenticated, we might be looking at one of the most profound discoveries in recent history.

View Image Gallery

I first witnessed a handful of these images in Spring 2011 and understood that there were quite a few artifacts involved and that further investigation was taking place before an official announcement was to be made.  Perhaps this is the next wave of unofficial reporting. There does seem to be some internet chatter that this might be related to the Mayan documentary slated for release this year showing ‘evidence’ of alien contact in ancient Mexico.

The documentary is believed to focus in part on previously unexplored sections of a Mayan site at Calakmul, Mexico, as well as a number of sites in Guatemala, where officials are also backing the documentary.

Stay tuned for further updates as the mystery unfolds.
