I have
discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians
and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools,
raised and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!
Many popular authors suggest possibility that mysterious sites
around the world
were created with help of advanced knowledge and
technology (possibly more advanced than our current one) possessed
by lost civilizations.
Others do
not believe that there ever was very advanced civilization on earth
and all of the superb knowledge was handed down to us by ancient
astronauts who came down from heaven.
Most scientists do not
subscribe to any of these ideas and try to explain ancient enigmas
on the ground of religion and ritual...
In this section we are presenting few sites that are still
causing controversy in the scientific community.
According to the official view there was no contact between the
Old World and the New World before Columbus. Yet numerous
similarities have been found that suggest a link between Egypt and
the Americas:
Both have huge pyramids, aligned to the cardinal points
Both have structures built with megalithic stones and
extremely fine joints
Both exhibit intriguing bumps on many unfinished stone blocks
(Picture 1)
Both employed a unique style of construction using
"L" shaped corners
Both use the same style of metal clamps to hold the huge
stones in place
Both used the process of mummification to preserve and honor
their dead
These compelling similarities suggest that both ancient cultures
were influenced by a sophisticated common source.
Some researchers reject the dogmatic idea that the New World was
isolated prior to 1492. There is some compelling evidence that the
ancient peoples from Mesopotamia may have crossed the Atlantic ages
before Columbus.
The images below represent very much the same religious
symbolism. Also, please notice the object held by the deity (it
looks the same).

Venta (Mexico).
Olmecs are considered to be the oldest Meso American Culture.
Holding a cone or sponge in his right hand and a bucket in
his left, this genie is performing a ritual involving the
Assyrian sacred tree. The sacred tree was an extremely important symbol in the
palace of Ashurnasirpal, appearing on reliefs in virtually
every room of the palace. It was also used in textile
patterns, on stamp and cylinder seals, and in ivory carvings.
It represented both the king and Ashur, the chief god of
Assyria, and
was also a symbol of the fertility of the land.

Another puzzle is mysterious
alignment of world's ancient sites.
Easter Island is
exactly aligned along a straight line around the center of the
Earth, with the Nazca lines, Ollantaytambo and the Great Pyramid of
Egypt. Other world wonders that are within one tenth of one degree
of this alignment include: Perseopolis, the capital city of ancient
Persia; Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of the Indus Valley;
the Oracle of Zeus-Amon at Siwa; and the lost city of Petra. The
Ancient Sumarian city of Ur and Angkor temples in Cambodia and
Thailand are within one degree of latitude of this alignment.
The alignment of these sites is easily observable on a globe of the
Earth with a horizon ring. If you line up any two of these sites on
the horizon ring, all of the sites will be right on the horizon
ring. 3-D world atlas software programs can also draw this line
around the Earth. Start on the Equator, at the mouth of the Amazon
River, at 48° 36' West Longitude; go to 30° 22' North Latitude,
41° 24' East Longitude, in the Middle East, which is the maximum
latitude the line touches; then go to the Equator at 131° 24' East
Longitude, near the Northwest tip of New Guinea; then to 30° 22'
South Latitude, 138° 36' West Longitude, in the South Pacific; and
then back to 48° 36' West Longitude, at the Equator.

The circumference of this line
around the center of the Earth is 24,892 miles. Along this
line, the great circle distance from the Great Pyramid to
Ollantaytambo is 7,472 miles, 30.0% of the circumference.
Ollantaytambo is 2,579 miles from Easter Island, 10.3%. Easter
Island is 10,096 miles from Angkor Wat, 40.6%. Angkor Wat is
2,490 miles from Mohenjo Daro, 10.0%. Mohenjo Daro is 2255
miles from from the Great Pyramid, 9.1%. In addition to
calculating the distances between these sites as a percentage
of the circumference of the Earth, the distances may also be
calculated in degrees of the 360° circumference, by
multiplying the percentage by 3.6. For example, the Great
Pyramid is 108° away from Ollantaytambo. Near Ollantaytambo, Machupicchu
is within one quarter of a degree and Cuzco
is within one third of a degree of the alignment.
Ever since the Greeks coined the language we commonly
use for scientific description, mythology and science have developed
separately.
But what came before the Greeks?
What if we could prove that all myths have one common origin in a celestial
cosmology?
What if the gods, the places they lived, and what they did are but ciphers for
celestial activity, a language for the perpetuation of complex astronomical
data? Drawing on scientific data, historical and literary sources, the authors
argue that our myths are the remains of a preliterate astronomy, an exacting
science whose power and accuracy were suppressed and then forgotten by an
emergent Greco-Roman world view.
This fascinating book throws into doubt the self-congratulatory assumptions of
Western science about the unfolding development and transmission of knowledge.
This is a truly seminal and original thesis,
a book that should be read by anyone interested in science, myth,
and the interactions between the two.

The mysterious
architecture and artifacts, and the enigmatic characters from ancient
history are the special focus of renowned European archaeologist, Brian
Haughton. His new book, Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret
Knowledge and Ancient Mysteries, quenches our thirst for insight into
ancient times.

International explorer,
archaeologist and authorJonathan Gray has traveled the world
to gather data on ancient mysteries. He has penetrated some
largely unexplored areas, including parts of the Amazon
headwaters. The author has also led expeditions to the bottom
of the sea and to remote mountain and desert regions of the
world. He lectures internationally.
"Dead Men's Secrets" by Jonathan Gray is 373 pages
of discovering ancient technology and lost secrets.
Do not miss his new books that followed "Dead Men's Secrets":
Book 1
"The Killing Of... PARADISE PLANET" lays out stunning evidence of a
once-global paradise,
with a temperature-controlled climate, idyllic
landscape and long-lived human giants but a super culture
ready to wipe
itself out. The world BEFORE the Great Flood of 2345 BC
Book 2
"SURPRISE WITNESS" shows what happened DURING that great Deluge
- the cosmic calamity that ripped the Earth to shreds and wiped out the
original Mother Civilization. Not only were the antedeluvian people
buried, but their technological achievements were destroyed, including all
form of machinery and construction. The skeptic may shout himself hoarse. But this event surely happened.
We have evidence that is more substantial than for any other event of
history.
Book 3
"The Corpse CAME BACK!"
Now comes the fast moving, fascinating
story of the settling down
of Planet Earth AFTER the Flood, and its effect
upon human history.
