====================================

WAS THERE A CIVILIZATION
THAT EXISTED 13,000 YEARS AGO?

Tiahuanaco.

Which archaeologists date to this era, not even B.C.E.

Mainstream archaeologists would say that>s true. But other
archaeologists have speculated that it is far older, anywhere from 13
to 40 thousand years old.

The interesting thing about it is that was apparently a port, with
remnants of docks still extant. But Lake Titicaca is almost 10 miles
away. The ruins are also about 2 miles above sea level. Was the city
a port on the lake when the water was higher? The odd thing is that
in recent years, investigating Indian legends of structures beneath
the lake, explorers have found the ruins of stone buildings deep under
the surface of the lake, that are similar to the above ground ruins.
Had the civilization existed in the region before the lake? Then why
was it a port? Was it on the ocean?

If it was an ocean port, then it couldn>t have been built within the
last couple of thousand years because the upward thrust of the Andes
Mountains has not been that rapid. But 13,000 years ago? Possibly.

Also, consider how a city with such large stone blocks could have been
built in the thin air of an altitude of 2 miles high. It seems much
more reasonable to suppose it was built many thousands of years ago
when it would have been at a lower altitude.

Also the temple at the center has a astronomical aspects in that
the setting sun of equinox sets at the markers from the perspective
of the alter stone.. but today there>s about a 16deg off center of each
marker post.. But if you consider precession and back through the
time line to about 15~20 k years ago they line up prefect.. the only
time they will line up in mans history.....

And no one has come back with a response on the mapping
of the Giza pyramids and the relation to the Orion constellation.

If the pyramids were laid out at the same time to match the
Orion Constellation then the existing theory for the building
of all the pyramids is not valid...

From The Front Page of THE PHOENIX GAZETTE of April 5th, 1909

The latest news of the progress of the explorations of what is now regarded
by scientists as not only the oldest archeological discovery in the United
States, but one of the most valuable in the world, which was mentioned some
time ago in the Gazette, was brought to the city yesterday by G.E. Kinkaid,
the explorer who found the great underground citadel of the Grand Canyon
during a trip from Green River, Wyoming, down the Colorado, in a wooden
boat, to Yuma, several months ago.

According to the story related to the Gazette by Mr. Kinkaid, the
archaelogists of the Smithsonian Institute, which is financing the
expeditions, have made discoveries which almost conclusively prove that the
race which inhabited this mysterious cavern, hewn in solid rock by human
hands, was of oriental origin, possibly from Egypt, tracing back to Ramses.
If their theories are borne out by the translation of the tablets engraved
with heiroglyphics, the mystery of the prehistoric peoples of North America,
their ancient arts, who they were and whence they came, will be solved.
Egypt and the Nile, and Arizona and the Colorado will be linked by a
historical chain running back to ages which staggers the wildest fancy of
the fictionist.

A Thorough Examination

Under the direction of Prof. S. A. Jordan, the Smithsonian Institute is now
prosecuting the most thorough explorations, which will be continued until
the last link in the chain is forged. Nearly a mile underground, about 1480
feet below the surface, the long main passage has been delved into, to find
another mammoth chamber from which radiates scores of passageways, like the
spokes of a wheel.

Several hundred rooms have been discovered, reached by passageways running
from the main passage, one of them having been explored for 854 feet and
another 634 feet. The recent finds include articles which have never been
known as native to this country, and doubtless they had their origin in the
orient. War weapons, copper instruments, sharp-edged and hard as steel,
indicate the high state of civilization reached by these strange people. So
interested have the scientists become that preparations are being made to
equip the camp for extensive studies, and the force will be increased to
thirty or forty persons.

Mr. Kinkaid>s Report

Mr. Kinkaid was the first white child born in Idaho and has been an explorer
and hunter all his life, thirty years having been in the service of the
Smithsonian Institute. Even briefly recounted, his history sounds fabulous,
almost grotesque.

"First, I would impress that the cavern is nearly inaccessible. The entrance
is 1,486 feet down the sheer canyon wall. It is located on government land
and no visitor will be allowed there under penalty of trespass. The
scientists wish to work unmolested, without fear of archeological
discoveries being disturbed by curio or relic hunters. A trip there would be
fruitless, and the visitor would be sent on his way. The story of how I
found the cavern has been related, but in a paragraph: I was journeying down
the Colorado river in a boat, alone, looking for mineral. Some forty-two
miles up the river from the El Tovar Crystal canyon, I saw on the east wall,
stains in the sedimentary formation about 2,000 feet above the river bed.
There was no trail to this point, but I finally reached it with great
difficulty.

Above a shelf which hid it from view from the river, was the mouth of the
cave. There are steps leading from this entrance some thirty yards to what
was, at the time the cavern was inhabited, the level of the river. When I
saw the chisel marks on the wall inside the entrance, I became interested,
securing my gun and went in. During that trip I went back several hundred
feet along the main passage till I came to the crypt in which I discovered
the mummies. One of these I stood up and photographed by flashlight. I
gathered a number of relics, which I carried down the Colorado to Yuma, from
whence I shipped them to Washington with details of the discovery. Following
this, the explorations were undertaken.

The Passages

"The main passageway is about 12 feet wide, narrowing to nine feet toward
the farther end. About 57 feet from the entrance, the first side-passages
branch off to the right and left, along which, on both sides, are a number
of rooms about the size of ordinary living rooms of today, though some are
30 by 40 feet square. These are entered by oval-shaped doors and are
ventilated by round air spaces through the walls into the passages. The
walls are about three feet six inches in thickness.

The passages are chiseled or hewn as straight as could be laid out by an
engineer. The ceilings of many of the rooms converge to a center. The
side-passages near the entrance run at a sharp angle from the main hall, but
toward the rear they gradually reach a right angle in direction.

The Shrine

"Over a hundred feet from the entrance is the cross-hall, several hundred
feet long, in which are found the idol, or image, of the people>s god,
sitting cross-legged, with a lotus flower or lily in each hand. The cast of
the face is oriental, and the carving this cavern. The idol almost resembles
Buddha, though the scientists are not certain as to what religious worship
it represents. Taking into consideration everything found thus far, it is
possible that this worship most resembles the ancient people of Tibet.

Surrounding this idol are smaller images, some very beautiful in form;
others crooked-necked and distorted shapes, symbolical, probably, of good
and evil. There are two large cactus with protruding arms, one on each side
of the dais on which the god squats. All this is carved out of hard rock
resembling marble. In the opposite corner of this cross-hall were found
tools of all descriptions, made of copper. These people undoubtedly knew the
lost art of hardening this metal, which has been sought by chemicals for
centureis without result. On a bench running around the workroom was some
charcoal and other material probably used in the process. There is also slag
and stuff similar to matte, showing that these ancients smelted ores, but so
far no trace of where or how this was done has been discovered, nor the
origin of the ore.

"Among the other finds are vases or urns and cups of copper and gold, made
very artistic in design. The pottery work includes enameled ware and glazed
vessels. Another passageway leads to granaries such as are found in the
oriental temples. They contain seeds of varous kinds. One very large
storehouse has not yet been entered, as it is twelve feet high and can be
reached only from above. Two copper hooks extend on the edge, which
indicates that some sort of ladder was attached. These granaries are
rounded, as the materials of which they are constructed, I think, is a ver
hard cement. A gray metal is also found in this cavern, which puzzles the
scientists, for its identity has not been established. It resembles
platinum. Strewn promiscuously over the floor everywhere are what people
call "cats eyse', a yellow stone of no great value. Each one is engraved
with the head of the Malay type.

The Hieroglyphics

"On all the urns, or walls over doorways , and tablets of stone which were
found by the image are the mysterious hieroglyphics, the key to which the
Smithsonian Institute hopes yet to discover. The engraving on the tables
probably has something to do with the religion of the people. Similar
hieroglyphics have been found in southern Arizona. Among the pictorial
writings, only two animals are found. One is of prehistoric type.

The Crypt

"The tomb or crypt in which the mummies were found is one of the largest of
the chambers, the walls slanting back at an angle of about 35 degrees. On
these are tiers of mummies, each one occupying a separate hewn shelf. At the
head of each is a small bench, on which is found copper cups and pieces of
broken swords. Some of the mummies are covered with clay, and all are
wrapped in a bark fabric.

The urns or cups on the lower tiers are crude, while as the higher shelves
are reached, the urns are finer in design, showing a later stage of
civilization. It is worthy of note that all the mummies examined so far have
proved to be male, no children or females being buried here. This leads to
the belief that this exterior section was the warriors' barracks.

"Among the discoveries no bones of animals have been found, no skins, no
clothing, no bedding. Many of the rooms are bare but for water vessels. One
room, about 40 by 700 feet, was probably the main dining hall, for cooking
utensils are found here. What these people lived on is a problem, though it
is presumed that they came south in the winter and farmed in the valleys,
going back north in the summer.

Upwards of 50,000 people could have lived in the caverns comfortably. One
theory is that the present Indian tribes found in Arizona are descendants of
the serfs or slaves of the people which inhabited the cave. Undoubtedly a
good many thousands of years before the Christian era, a people lived here
which reached a high stage of civilization. The chronology of human history
is full of gaps. Professor Jordan is much enthused over the discoveries and
believes that the find will prove of incalculable value in archeological
work.

"One thing I have not spoken of, may be of interest. There is one chamber of
the passageway to which is not ventilated, and when we approached it a
deadly, snaky smell struck us. Our light would not penetrate the gloom, and
until stronger ones are available we will not know what the chamber
contains. Some say snakes, but other boo-hoo this idea and think it may
contain a deadly gas or chemicals used by the ancients. No sounds are heard,
but it smells snaky just the same. The whole underground installation gives
one of shaky nerves the creeps. The gloom is like a weight on one>s
shoulders, and our flashlights and candles only make the darkness blacker.
Imagination can revel in conjectures and ungodly daydreams back through the
ages that have elapsed till the mind reels dizzily in space."

An Indian Legend

In connection with this story, it is notable that among the Hopi Indians the
tradition is told that their ancestors once lived in an underworld in the
Grand Canyon till dissension arose between the good and the bad, the people
of one heart and the people of two hearts. Machetto, who was their chief,
counseled them to leave the underworld, but there was no way out. The chief
then caused a tree to grow up and pierce the roof of the underworld, and
then the people of one heart climbed out. They tarried by Paisisvai (Red
River), which is the Colorado, and grew grain and corn.

They sent out a message to the Temple of the Sun, asking the blessing of
peace, good will and rain for people of one heart. That messenger never
returned, but today at the Hopi villages at sundown can be seen the old men
of the tribe out on the housetops gazing toward the sun, looking for the
messenger. When he returns, their lands and ancient dwelling place will be
restored to them. That is the tradition.

Among the engravings of animals in the cave is seen the image of a heart
over the spot where it is located. The legend was learned by W.E. Rollins,
the artist, during a year spent with the Hopi Indians.

There are two theories of the origin of the Egyptians.

One is that they came from Asia; another that the racial cradle was in the
upper Nile region. Heeren, an Egyptologist, believed in the Indian origin of
the Egyptians. The discoveries in the Grand Canyon may throw further light
on human evolution and prehistoric ages.

Funny, I read these words in the link above...

If the ancient Egyptians had vehicles such as helicopters,
submarines, and jet airplanes, one would expect to find some
evidence of this other than in a single inscription on the
lintel of a single temple. This type of large machinery
requires a vast amount of support (including fuel, parts,
factories, etc.) but there is no trace of any such support
in all of Egypt. The Egyptian literature is also bereft of
any boast, much less passing mention, of advanced aircraft.
Obviously this situation doesn>t seem peculiar to those who
really want to believe that the ancient Egyptians flew around
in airplanes.

Seems reasonable to me. You disagree I assume. If so explain why.

Why is it so difficult for some people to grasp that there may be
more to history than we are taught in school?

The issue is not a generality, but something specific you posted.

Have you seen the underwater ruins off Japan?

No, have you?

Clearly carved steps,

carve gigantic sets of stairs to trim their beaks or something.

No, he>s a clown fish and the damage was done when the mines went off.

I mean honestly, the expanations are ludicrous.

Yours are at any rate. You won>t address any reasonable response and
immediately cast aspersions on anyone just asking questions.

Here, quite simply I will show you that there are mysteries in this
world which the general public are not permitted to see.

Let>s handle one at a time.

Is the entire basis for your claim that the ancient egyptians had
flying machines a single glyph in one and only one temple?

Actually there was also found inside a tomb that dated to
the old kingdom period where Two small gold modles of Jet
Aircraft were found. One having a Delta Wing and vertical
stabilizer and one having swept wings. And a wood version found
that dates to 200 BC.

And I find it odd that they never once used said flying machines in any

Well I>m not a fan of myth and legion as of much value
in the quest for truths but this is just not plausable if
the existing theories of early civilizations are to be
concidered valid.

Just this one point ..The pyramids in egypt show a symmetry
to the constellation of Orion. This is an impossibility if
as we are told the Stepped Pyramid was first effort for a
kings burial then the Bent was built and was an error on
the angles so explains the bent then the Red and Then
the Three at Giza built over the rule of three generations...

But if you use the star names and match them to a map
of the 7 primary stars to the 7 primary pyramids you will
find that they match except for polar alignment which is
a positional function of precession. If you get a cheap
(or expensive, or shareware, or grab a friends cd) of
a time variable star map software you can reverse
the positional variance of precession back to a point where
the constellation and the pyramids are aligned. Also this
would have been the visible positions of Orion to an
observer at Giza at this matching time... Don>t
take my word for it ... I>m not making wild claims..
I don>t really care if anyone sees the biggy this one is
or not.. But I have done just what I suggest anyone do
and come up with a plausable explanation for the easily
observer and verified weird shit....

Now I might be inclined to ask is there a possible correlation
with some measurable aspect of each star with the design and
material of each of the different pyramids ... Like does Abu Ruwash
with its stepped structure match a structural or emission pattern
of Rigel.

Also there are 4 stars that show no matching placement but if the
remains of even one city is located in the location noted by
the star location would that not just be a bit of evidence.....

And to get it better understood to the one that sorta said so what
in the thread consider that if the Egyptian civilization built to
a star map then the planning for a construction project that would
outlast 7 generations and maintain precession while being planed
during an early point in the development of the civilization for
completion in 7 generations in the future... Because if the placements
were done based on star position at the time of site selection the
placement would show a skew rate due to the next generation building
while observing a precessed Orion.

Now as I have said before .. I believe in science and the quest for
evidence .. I do not Believe in anything.. So if someone have a
good explanation for the observed situation I would love to hear
a good rational that fits the existing theories ( Which I know very well)

First... if you hang out on any planet long enough you will be

a requirement for any life form to survive in the long run.. This
is an obvious outcome of ANY technologically advance life form.

Second... Humans have been about ( I>ll use your version ) for
around 6k years since he learned to write down his ideas and now
man has stepped on his local neighbor and is planning to set up
house keeping on Mars in a few years and in just a blink of a cosmic
eye man is on his way to leave this ball before its plunked by a
big snow ball. Any technologically advance life form would look
into their local space and say lets get the f ck off this ball.

No matter how nice they are and how well molded into a Eden type
environment, if they develop to a point that they find they are studying
the same physical rules that we do they would very quickly note
that to continue the existence of their species they must leave their
ball and branch out to other balls or figure out how to move their whole
ball around to keep it out of all the bad shit that happens all the time ...

Now have you done your Giza / Orion mapping yet? got a reasoning

"THE BRAIN POLICE" AND "THE BIG LIE"

Any time you allege a conspiracy is afoot, especially in the field of
science, you are treading on thin ice.

We tend to be very sceptical about conspiracies--unless the Mafia or
some Muslim radicals are behind the alleged plot. But the evidence is
overwhelming and the irony is that much of it is in plain view.

The good news is that the players are obvious. Their game plan and
even their play-by-play tactics are transparent, once you learn to
spot them.

However, it is not so easy to penetrate through the smokescreen
of propaganda and disinformation to get to their underlying motives
and goals. It would be convenient if we could point to a plumber>s
unit and a boldface liar like Richard Nixon, but this is a more subtle
operation.

The bad news: the conspiracy is global and there are many vested
interest groups. A cursory investigation yields the usual suspects:
scientists with a theoretical axe to grind, careers to further and the
status quo to maintain.

Their modus operandi is "The Big Lie"--and the bigger and more widely
publicised, the better.

They rely on invoking their academic credentials to support their
arguments, and the presumption is that no one has the right to
question their authoritarian pronouncements that:

1. there is no mystery about who built the Great Pyramid or what the
methods of construction were, and the Sphinx shows no signs of water
damage;

2. there were no humans in the Americas before 20,000 BC;

3. the first civilisation dates back no further than 6000 BC;

4. there are no documented anomalous, unexplained or enigmatic data to
take into account;

5. there are no lost or unaccounted-for civilisations
..
Let the evidence to the contrary be damned!

Personal Attacks: Dispute over Age of the Sphinx and Great Pyramid

In 1993, NBC in the USA aired The Mysteries of the Sphinx, which
presented geological evidence showing that the Sphinx was at least
twice as old (9,000 years) as Egyptologists claimed.

It has become well known as the "water erosion controversy". An
examination of the politicking that Egyptologists deployed to combat
this undermining of their turf is instructive.

Self-taught Egyptologist John Anthony West brought the water erosion
issue to the attention of geologist Dr Robert Schoch. They went to
Egypt and launched an intensive on-site investigation. After
thoroughly studying the Sphinx first hand, the geologist came to share
West>s preliminary conclusion and they announced their findings.

Dr Zahi Hawass, the Giza Monuments chief, wasted no time in firing a
barrage of public criticism at the pair. Renowned Egyptologist Dr Mark
Lehner, who is regarded as the world>s foremost expert on the
Sphinx, joined his attack. He charged West and Schoch with being
"ignorant and insensitive".

That was a curious accusation which took the matter off the
professional level and put the whole affair on a personal
plane. It did not address the facts or issues at all and it was highly
unscientific.

But we must note the standard tactic of discrediting anyone who dares
to call the accepted theories into question.

Shifting the focus away from the issues and "personalising" the debate
is a highly effective strategy--one which is often used by politicians
who feel insecure about their positions. Hawass and Lehner invoked
their untouchable status and presumed authority. (One would think that
a geologist>s assessment would hold more weight on this particular
point.)

A short time later, Schoch, Hawass and Lehner were invited to debate
the issue at the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
West was not allowed to participate because he lacked the
required credentials.

This points to a questionable assumption that is part of the
establishment>s arsenal: only degreed scientists can practice science.

Two filters keep the uncredentialled, independent researcher out of
the loop: (1) credentials, and (2) peer review. You do not get to
number two unless you have number one.

Science is a method that anyone can learn and apply. It does not
require a degree to observe and record facts and think critically
about them, especially in the non-technical social sciences. In a free
and open society, science has to be a democratic process.

Be that as it may, West was barred. The elements of the debate have
been batted back and forth since then without resolution. It is
similar to the controversy over who built the Giza pyramids and how.

This brings up the issue of The Big Lie and how it has been promoted
for generations in front of God and everyone.

The controversy over how the Great Pyramid was constructed is one
example. It could be easily settled if Egyptologists wanted to resolve
the dispute. A simple test could be designed and arranged
by impartial engineers that would either prove or disprove their
longstanding disputed theory--that it was built using the primitive
tools and methods of the day, circa 2500 BC.

Why hasn>t this been done? The answer is so obvious, it seems
impossible: they know that the theory is bogus.

Could a trained, highly educated scientist really believe that 2.3
million tons of stone, some blocks weighing 70 tons, could have been
transported and lifted by primitive methods? That seems improbable,
though they have no compunction against lying to the public, writing
textbooks and defending this theory against alternative theories.
However, we must note that they will not subject themselves to the
bottom-line test.

We think it is incumbent upon any scientist to bear the burden of
proof of his/her thesis; however, the social scientists who make these
claims have never stood up to that kind of scrutiny.

That is why we must suspect a conspiracy. No other scientific
discipline would get away with bending the rules of science. All
that Egyptologists have ever done is bat down alternative theories
using underhanded tactics. It is time to insist that they prove their
own proposals.

Why would scientists try to hide the truth and avoid any test of their
hypothesis? Their motivations are equally transparent. If it can be
proved that the Egyptians did not build the Great Pyramid in 2500 BC
using primitive methods, or if the Sphinx can be dated to 9000 BC, the
whole house of cards comes tumbling down.

Orthodox views of cultural evolution are based upon a chronology of
civilisation having started in Sumeria no earlier than 4000 BC. The
theory does not permit an advanced civilisation to have
existed prior to that time. End of discussion. Archaeology and history
lose their meaning without a fixed timeline as a point of reference.

Since the theory of "cultural evolution" has been tied to Darwin>s
general theory of evolution, even more is at stake. Does this explain
why facts, anomalies and enigmas are denied, suppressed and/or
ignored? Yes, it does. The biological sciences today are based on
Darwinism.

Thanks, Will.
