Ancient Civilizations

The Origin oI Man

has been long
established
once, by religious orthodoxy
and now, by modern science
but recently
archaeologists
have begun to uncover
bits oI startling new evidence
that when pieced together
lead to the controversial
yet undeniable conclusion
that the timeline is wrong
history
as we know it
does not have all the answers
and maybe
just maybe
Atlantis
is not
a myth
aIter all.

The more we look at these sites
the more they Iail to match up
with what we thought
we were sure about
- the Ioundation oI modern culture -
that ours is the Iirst ascension oI Man
and earlier civilizations
may have had some
primitive technologies
but Ancient Astronomy
was about religion
and the harvest
nothing more.

We study these sites
- to Iill in the blanks -
but many oI these sites
all oI the really old ones
- align to each other -
though they may be on
opposite sides oI the world
and utilize Sacred Geometry
in their construction, design
- everything about them.

More than just
positioned under
a Iew very bright stars
on the Summer Solstice
or in honor oI gods
there is a real
higher order
intelligence
at work here.

It takes a bit oI
cross-research
and perhaps the
UniIied Field Theory
to even appreciate it.

Whatever they were doing
they were doing it together
longer ago than we thought.

Could we modern humans be the
descendants oI Ancient Astronauts
and so long ago, nobody believes it?



























Where Have We Been?
This Olmec Head (right) is
thought to be over 3000 years
old. The man's Ieatures are
clearly AIrican, but this giant 8
Ioot tall stone statue was Iound in
the jungles oI southern Mexico -
and is but one oI 17 so Iar
discovered, in varrying stages oI
erosion Irom millennia in the
deep jungle.
One imagines, in any century, it
is to be considered a high honor
Ior someone to take the time to
carve your likeness in anything
even approaching the size oI a
volkswagon - thus, they were
leaders, or heroes; certainly
revered Iigures. BeIore Rome or
Greece, or perhaps even the
pharaohs oI Egypt, there was a
civilization, a dominant culture in
Mexico Irom the PaciIic to the
Yucatan - and the people who
posed Ior the Olmec Heads are
known to have written in symbols
almost identical to that oI the
Nubian, Kush, Vai and Mande oI
West AIrica.
While his helment looks like
something right out oI the Bronze
Age, on closer inspection, doesn't
appear to have been made oI
metal at all - it could very well
have been leather, or any Iorm oI
cloth attributed to the time. Could
it be simply a hat, or even a
religious costume? The thing is,
each Olmec Head is oI a diIIerent
person - with slightly diIIerent
Ieatures, and slightly diIIerent
hats. The ornamentation could be
speciIic, denoting rank; or, they
could be just regular ordinary
people. But true wizards oI their



day, likely responsible Ior
building the great American
pyramid complexes. They sailed
across the Atlantic, Irom AIrica
to the ancient New World - and
brought with them a knowledge
oI math and astronomy that was
only rivaled in Egypt.
While this may seem to have
nothing to do with aliens, or even
a particularly advanced ancient
civilization (to rival our own),
they had knowledge oI things
which we do not, or are just
beginning to discover. It is
stunning enough, the prooI that
people Irom AIrica set out across
the Mid Atlantic and settled in
the Americas. Given that, one has
to understand what an incredible
Ieat it was Ior the time - and how
impressed the locals must have
been. They Iounded a new
civilization.



There was certainly trade between the two continents oI AIrica and South
America: Egyptian mummies were recently Iorensically Iound to have traces oI
aspirin, cocoa and tobacco (perhaps as medicines, shortly beIore their deaths)
plants that were originally indigenous to the Americas. But this is not the only
connection:ancient Egyptian boats are exactly like what Peruvian natives weave
today, out oI reeds, to venture out onto Lake Titicaca - shaped just slightly more
like a crescent moon than a canoe, or a classic dragon headed Viking vessel -
and it just so happens to be the perIect shape Ior a relatively small ship to
handle an ocean's waves. But what iI the Olmecs weren't the Iirst?
We've all heard stories oI the Vikings settling in Iceland, Greenland, and as Iar
as Eastern Canada - legends have those expeditions driIting Iurther inland, and
assimilating into the population. Even in mainstream science, it is becoming
more and more accepted today, that Columbus was not Iirst to discover
America, and maybe it was a well-kept secret - more oI a validation oI its
existence to the political dominance oI the day. There is even a legend oI a
Chinese expedition across the PaciIic - which landed in CaliIornia, and set out
north, east and south Irom there - the southern band having settled among the
Aztec and Inca, eventually assimilating into their societies, bringing with them
the same circular calendar, the same dragonesque lizard gods; even the same
styles oI clothing. Traces oI an unmistakably Asian perspective on astronomy is
present in the temples and calendars oI ancient America.
Perhaps the one reason why these expeditions are reduced to legends, and even
myths, may be because they either Iailed to thrive; or were, Ior whatever reason,
either unable or unwilling to return. The Olmecs are said to have arrived in
Mexico by twelve roads through the sea, (possibly reIerring to twelve seperate
expeditions, out Irom West AIrica) and settled in a variety oI places, even as Iar
south as Guatemala - where they are credited with dividing the early Maya
culture in halI, via language.
Cultures were Iorced to adapt or perish - and we will likely never know any oI
the particulars. It seems we can only gaze in awe and wonder at what they've
leIt behind. But all oI these sites have a common theme - to each other, and with
other contemporary sites around the world. There's math, and astronomy, and
Sacred Geometry - they knew the world was round - they knew exactly where
they were on the Earth - and, in some cases, they knew exactly where other sites
are, and how Iar away.







Cities Under the Stars
Whoever built these networks oI
monuments, they're long gone. and leIt
little that we can even discern about who
they were - much less, what happened to
them. But when they vanished, they leIt
their pyramids and observatories behind.
Centuries passed, sometimes even
millennia - and other peoples came, to call
them home. They surely noticed the most
basic oI alignments to the sun, throughout
the year - and perhaps even decoded some
inscriptions, basing their written language



on that. But the most telling clue is the
names oI these places - their meanings in
indigenous tongues: City oI the Gods;
Ancient Aliens.



In the 16th Century, when Cortez arrived in America, the dominant culture oI
Mexico City was the Great Aztec Nation. Expecting primitive natives, and
hoping Ior El Dorado, he Iound instead Tenochtitlan; and Teotihuacan (above
right). Stumbling upon an entirely new civilization; as great and bustling a city
as any oI its day: with such imposing landmarks as the Pyramids oI the Sun and
Moon, and Avenue oI the Dead - what must he have thought this civilization
capable oI? Bloodthirsty human sacriIice. Devil worship. Whatever his
thoughts, he easily conquered its people and looted all oI its gold. Many oI the
pricelss treasures oI antiquity, some that could perhaps have provided us with
Iurther clues oI the common, global, mother culture - lost Iorever.
Outnumbering Cortez nearly 100 to 1, Montezuma had no reason to
contemplate extinction. But the Iall oI the Aztecs - whose bloody rituals
horriIied the equally superstitious pre-renaissance Christians - goes down in
history as by Iar the most stunning slaughter oI all time. Palaces were looted,
libraries raided, temples burned - every last golden trinket was melted down,
and uncountled priceless jade statuettes were smashed - very Iew ancient
historical records escaped destruction. But it almost goes without saying that a
civilization like the Aztec (based on little oI their own invention beyond bloody
human sacriIice) is probably Iairly incapable oI designing, much less
constructing, the massive pyramid cities which we associate with them today.
So who did?
Just being in the presence oI such monuments seems to conjur up the spirits oI
our ancestors. But nothing we know oI our past, Iirsthand, can account Ior the
vast number and precision oI alignments incorporated within. Stepped pyramids
representing every planet in our solar system, each laid out as accurate as we
could manage today (or would bother to); were not possibly built by a people
who did not possess the wheel, and whose major pastime was mass Human
sacriIice. It is important to remember that Uranus and Neptune were not
discovered until well aIter the Aztec empire was a distant memory - and Pluto,
in the early 20th Century, several centuries aIter the Aztecs put their violent
marks on the grand pyramids oI Mexico; and likely millennia aIter they were
originally constructed.
Looking harder at the symmetry and mathematics permeating every angle oI
these sites, it is becoming more widely accepted today, in mainstream science,
that the Aztecs had nothing to do with their original construction. Overlooking
any Meso American site, especially Teotihuacan, it is hard to not come away
with a sense oI standing in the playground oI giants - and that is very likely how
these ancient peoples Ielt, when they stumbled upon the scene themselves; and
as much is siIted Irom their legends, surviving to this day, in the people oI
Mexico. As Ior the Mayan culture, the word "Maya" means, simply, "old ones"
- just as "Anasazi," Irom the Four Corners area oI the American Southwest,
means "ancient aliens." Could it be that the Anasazi were assimilated Asians,
who eventually migrated south to Mexico?
Mexico City claims the record Ior longest inhabited city, through its association
with and proximity to Teotihuacan - predating Rome, Athens, Baghdad, and
many other top contenders; iI we only knew by what phoenomenal margin. The
pyramids oI Teotihuacan are aligned to the planets and stars - as they appeared
in the sky during the Age oI Leo, circa 10,500 BC, the exact same era as the
Pyramids oI Giza are equally, amazingly, aligned - and in such a way that we
would scarcely be capable oI today. But why would we want to? We have no
need oI architectual reminders that there are giant planets like Jupiter and
Saturn, and how many moons they have; but yet there are pyramids
corresponding to every planet, spaced out in perIect proportions - with even a
tiny monument Ior Pluto, way oII in the mountains. II any oI us are interested,
we can look it up in a book, or turn on the Discovery Channel. But still,
established orthodoxy reIuses to change the established timeline to account Ior a
great Mother Culture that must have existed globally in unaccountable
antiquity. It is perhaps to our credit, in this great age oI mass communication,
that we are able to make connections across Iields oI science that previously had
no interest in each other - and this collaboration may be the key to rediscovering
our ancient heritage on this planet. But, very oIten, wrong ideas remain, until
elder statesmen retire.
Piecing it all together: this amazing civilization, only recently emerging Irom
the mists oI time, was certainly maritime based. We have no reason to believe
their territory did not span the entire world. They knew the measurements oI the
Earth, and the stars oI the sky, as well as we do today - but not just Ior planting,
or religious ceremonies; they didn't stop there, and these may have been
periIeral applications. These are Iar more accurate than is necessarry Ior mere
agriculture; even in hostile, challenging, climates; and they don't accomodate
rashly changing climates - which, in many cases, seems to be why the locations
were abandoned, at least by historic cultures.






Precision accuracy is required, however, to
navigate the high seas; perhaps to sail to all the
places oI the world that they had settled, or
colonized - to place Stonehenge exactly where
it is, precisely aligned to Easter Island,
Palenque, the Acropolis and the Pyramids oI
Giza.
For Iurther prooI, some oI these sites on
precice points oI global alignment, are now
many meters underwater: Yoniguni oII the
coast oI Taiwan; Pohnpei in the South PaciIic;
Bimini Island in the Bahamas. Also, the
Azores; Nazca; Machu Picchu; Tiahuanaco;
Angkor Wot; and many others: all are sites
which are arranged at speciIic regular intervals
around the globe, are aligned to each other in
Iamiliar patterns, known to the ancients as
Sacred Geometry. Even their architecture could
not possibly have been constructed or
conceived by primitive people - so many other
ideas would have naturally been tried Iirst, and
many would remain. Rome, Greece, the Great
Wall oI China: these are examples oI a
primitive culture emerging Irom the Dark
Ages. But Giza, Teotihuacan, Yoniguni: this is
a completely diIIerent civilization, altogether.
Each oI them, in their own way, tells us that
their era was 13,000 years ago - when Mankind
was not supposed to have had much technology
beyond Iire and stone spears; no wheel, no
writing, certainly no mathematics or
astronomy. But here all oI these sites are. What
are we to make oI them? Clearly, history has to
be rewritten.

Atlantis













The Legend oI Utopia
The priests oI Egypt, guardians oI an ancient and sacred wisdom, told Solon oI a
mythical land.
Many years later, Plato would learn this Irom his mentor, and write it down Ior
Iuture generations,
but in the Iorm oI a dialogue, so that it might be more easily understood by any
who would listen.
Now, dismissed as Iiction, by scholars and historians: a morality tale, even
political propaganda;
but much the same was said about the ancient city oI Troy, beIore it was
unearthed in Turkey.
In our time, ancient maps have been Iound: that show Antarctica long beIore it
was discovered.
Could Atlantis be in the one place no one has yet looked ~ the Irozen continent oI
Antarctica?










The Piri Reis Map










































The Azores





When Spanish Conquistadors landed in the Azores
the primitive natives there were surpsised to see them.
Like the people oI Easter Island, in the South PaciIic,
they thought they were the only people leIt in the world.

Their oral legends spoke oI a great cataclysm, a Noah Ilood,
which sank the world, leaving only the highest mountain peaks.

They were thrilled to meet the visitors,
and wondered iI they could help to read
some ancient tablets, which told the story
- that they'd long Iorgotten how to read.

But the Spaniards did not speak their gibberish language
and destroyed the tablets, mistaking it Ior devil worship
and murdered many oI the otherwise peaceIul citizens
probably the direct decendants oI a now lost civilization
what was most likely either an ancient Atlantean outpost
- or at least a port, known to the golbal seaIaring culture.

Like the Bahama Islands (oII the east coast oI America),
the Azores (about 1000 miles west oI Portugal)
are among the Iirst places people look
when searching Ior remnants oI Atlantis.

During the last Ice Age, when the world water levels were much lower,
both island chains were vast expanses oI dry land; and likely populated.

This would have divided the North Atlantic essentially in three sections
- making transportation between continents, Iabled lands, so much easier -
and well within range oI ancient Crescent Ships Iound in both Egypt and Peru
immediately reminiscent oI Viking vessels, known to have reached America.
