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. Double-A 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... Paul R.

Stats tell you somthing about a group, idiot ESP researchers apply stats to events and draw unsupported conclusions. Stats are not predictive and tell nothing about any event, and they cannot even in principle. If electricity works then it should work every time! Can you predict for me where lightening will strike? Are you going to claim some bogus statistical methods to "prove" lightening exists? Those idiot meteorologists keep drawing all these unsuported conclusions that can't be predicted and verified and tell nothing about any given electrical event. Why would anyone waste time studying this tripe? Luckily you've got me here to debunk electricity for you! I don't think he understands your position any more than he did mine..

That's science... the quest for the rules yet to be defined of a reality that was here billions of years before we were here to observe it and will be here billions of years after our last radio message is lost to the ambient noise. Can you demonstrate unequivocally that ESP exists? Can you demonstrate unequivocally that YOU exist? But of course you totally miss the point. You are so busy denying and "debunking" that you can't figure out the the whole point of an investigation is to FIND OUT what is true and what isn't. You on the other hand want to start from you dogma and then deny that any other intepretation might exist. As I stated before you are exactly what I'm ranting about. Atlantis != Archeology, no matter how often you confuse them. Proof by assertion! Always a winner in my book! It comes out really close to "Nah na na nah na nah" Can you prove that Atlantis existed? Where is/was it? Can you prove it never existed? I mean uneqivocally? Go ahead prove that negative! Because that's what you'll have to do to demonstrate that any investigation of the possiblity of Atlantis is a waste of time. So ad hominem is all you got. How shocking that is. It's not all I've got, but I say one ad hominem deserves another. I'll see you both 2 ad hominem's and raise you 1 analogy.... Do you believe that this is how ET communicates? Please answer yes or no. If you have some other observations on the meaning of cattle mutilations, please elucidate. Why is it that in your book it always comes down to belief? Why is science religion to you? Why is it a matter of faith rather than observations. What exactly is your point here? That since we don't have a lot of data what is causing the phenomena we should ignore it? Or perhaps you are debunking the whole idea of cattle mutilations. You still haven't answered if YOU believe if they actually exist. "Belief" IS a valid question for you since this is a matter of your faith. Do you believe that there is nothing about crop circles that can't be "explained" by a bunch of kids stomping in a wheat field? Do you believe that this is how ET communicates? Please answer yes or no. Please answer my question first. Sounds like the bag is working! I'm waiting for "Say.. Halla Lu Ya!!!" More ad hominem, and more unanswered questions. How shocking. It's not ad hominem if the comments are demonstrably true and relevant to the issue. You seem a true believer yourself dude. How can the superstitious cast aspersion on man for being superstitious? It boggles the mind. What boggles the mind is how a person who operates totally on superstition projects that mindset onto others and then criticizes them for that projection being like themselves. Did you get that? Where are the foo-fighters today? Dood! They got PLENTY of gigs! Some kind of scientist he is... They were here last spring and were witnessed by at least 20,000 ...

Was there a civilization that existed 13 000 years ago?
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. |

And what part do you find wanting? They are clearly flying machines. Are they? You don't consider flying machines a stretch? The explanations by Dr. Zahi Hawass are just as bad. He said "they are just childrens' toys, that's all, nothing to see there at all, LOOK! over there, why that looks like the grave of a cook! Come people, let us look over there!" or similar. 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, and post holes. Unless you believe that parrot fish routinely 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. http://www.catchpenny.org/model.html http://www.enigmas.org/aef/lib/archeo/nf-airp.shtml http://www.enigmas.org/aef/lib/archeo/nf-electric.shtml http://www.nasca.org.uk/Ancient__Avi...on_.html#Egypt http://www.nasca.org.uk/Strange_reli...e_relics_.html So your one and only one example is a bit faulty... And a place to test Fly? http://www.crystalinks.com/nasca.html http://www.livingtravel.com/samerica/peru/peru_3.htm [...] Plenty of evidence for anyone who is willing to look. OK, let's do just that, look at it. Do you believe that the Egyptian's had heavier than air flying machines and left one single reference to them in one single location? Oddly I don't recall any part of Egyptian history in which they were so humble. And I find it odd that they never once used said flying machines in any of the many wars they fought, even for reconnaissance, or that their enemies or friends made no mention of them in any of their writings.
