Mexico City: 13,000 years old skull Scientists have identified North America's oldest resident, 2000 years older than any previously found. Interestingly, the skull is not Asian shaped, but Caucasian - it doesn't belong to those who supposedly crossed into America from Asia across the Bering Strait ice-bridge. So what is it... Atlantis survivor? Traveller from Europe? Original inhabitant?

They said the discovery also lent credence to popular belief that a mighty river, named in the ancient Hindu Vedic texts as Saraswati, flowed through the region thousands of years ago." This supports two ideas:

Steve Shieh, the head of the planning committee for the Taiwan Underwater Archaeology Institute, said the wall was discovered to the northwest of Tong-chi Island in the Pescadores towards the end of September. The stone wall, with an average height of one meter and a width of 50 centimeters, covers a distance of over 100 meters, Hsieh said. The wall ran along the ocean floor at depths of between 25 and 30 meters, he added. Space Imaging reports: Lake Bracciano, 20 miles northwest of Rome, Italy - the site of a 7,800-year-old settlement discovered 400 yards off the shore in 25 feet of water. Archaeologist Maria Antonietta Fugazzol a Delpino began excavating the Neolithic village, now called La Marmotta, when a dredging machine encountered the site while digging a trench for a new aqueduct system. More than 3,000 wood posts have been excavated, along with roof timbers, utensils, painted pottery and other artifacts. Fugazzola’s surveys suggest that the village covered five acres. The archaeological dig was recently featured in the November issue of Discover magazine.

The discovery, which dates to the end of the last Ice Age, also lends weight to the theory that early inhabitants of the area might have arrived by sea, rather than by land... The findings are about the same age as a few sites in coastal Alaska, British Columbia and California...

"Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam's Bridge is made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long."
This is excellent supporting evidence for the Ramayana legend being true. In Graham Hancock's book Underworld, he tells a small part of the tale: "To build a bridge across the sea, the bears and monkeys hurled trees and rocks into the water which by the power of Rama stayed afloat. The Gods looked down enthralled as the monkey armies moved across the seas on Rama's bridge" The bridge's unique curvature suggests that it is man-made. Or monkey & bear made. Or two mutations of human nicknamed monkeys and bears? Follow the link below for many images.

"Tycoon Joseph Williamson dug a vast, bizarre network of tunnels under Liverpool almost 200 years ago. Were they the city's first job creation scheme, a rich man's whimsy or a shelter from the end of the world?" I guess we might never know, but it helps to remind us that some ancient structures and buildings might not be for worshipping or rituals - they might just be the the product of a rich guy with too much imagination, and not much sense.
link me RobertBast, October 25, 2002 at 10:43:00 AM AEST Italian Stonehenge "A series of prehistoric stone structures, reminiscent of Stonehenge but taller and possibly earlier, have been located 3,500ft above sea level on a mountain in Calabria, southern Italy" I have looked up the site using the Alexandria Digital Library Gazetteer Server and it is at: Longitude: 16.350000 (16°21'0"E) Latitude: 38.433334 (38°26'0"N)
link me RobertBast, October 24, 2002 at 2:33:00 PM AEST Antarctic hair even older! Russian and American scientists have found "golden hairs" in Antarctic ice. Made of a silver and gold alloy, these thin strands are definitely man-made, and thousands of years old. It appears that ancient civilizations managed to visit everywhere...
link me RobertBast, October 23, 2002 at 3:10:00 PM AEST 12,000 yr old hair not Native American A human hair was discovered discovered at Mammoth Park, Oregon, in July 2000. "DNA analysis could provoke a constitutional storm. The hair, 40cm long, is said to be the oldest piece of organic human remains: it has been carbon dated twice, but the results have not been published and the research remains controversial." One archaeologist believes it to be 12,000 years old. A DNA test, which shows no relationship to present day native Americans, could be evidence of Atlantean survivors! ""It's possible that the so-called paleoindians are not the ancestors of native Americans. Either they didn't leave any ancestors, or they were replaced by other peoples."
link me RobertBast, October 17, 2002 at 9:34:00 PM AEST New Nazca geoglyphs "Peruvian archaeologist Johny Islas and German colleague Markus Reindel have identified new etchings made by the ancient Nasca people in the desert valleys of Palpa, about 460 kilometers (290 miles) south of Lima. After five years of work, the scientists were able to identify more than 1,000 new geoglyphs." Hopefully their next print issue will carry the pics.

Made by the placement of stones, the "boomerang" is at least 1 kilometre in length, and located in Morocco. Follow the link for another picture and details of the book they are from (site is in Spanish).

The walls will enclose approximately eight square kilometers - perhaps there will be a new discovery announced when the wall is finished.
link me RobertBast, September 30, 2002 at 8:44:00 AM AEST Crystal River: Belt of Orion? 
I have previously pointed out similarities between Giza and the Indian mounds along the Mississippi river (which floods just like the Nile) "Crystal River is a state archaeological site located north of Tampa on the west coast of Florida and was one of the longest continuously occupied sites in Florida (200 B.C. - 1400 A.D.). There are three main earthen mounds. Two are rectangular pyramidal temple mounds with ramps and flat tops for buildings. The center mound is round with a ring mound around it (mostly destroyed); hundreds of burials and artifacts have been excavated from it." Similarities with Giza: "Both sites are situated along a river, both are approximately around 30 degrees north latitude and both were known astrological observation sites. The triangle formed by the layout of both sites pyramids and the stars of Orion have identical angles and proportional sides "
link me RobertBast, September 29, 2002 at 8:58:00 AM AEST Luxor: Tomb in a natural pyramid It appears that the Egyptians found a hill that was pyramidal in shape, and used it instead of building one. "So instead of a small rock tomb, we realised it was a proper pyramid tomb: it had all the features you would expect of a pyramid, the only difference being that it was a natural pyramid, rather than a built one."
link me RobertBast, September 24, 2002 at 7:07:00 PM AEST Northern Shaft also has a door! 
And the handles are in better condition too. It is the same distance up the shaft as the other one, and presumably will have a door on the other side of it. They have almost certainly drilled a hole through this one too...
link me RobertBast, September 21, 2002 at 12:23:00 PM AEST Defrosting the past "Decades of unusual warmth in regions from Peru to Alaska–a trend some think is linked to emissions from cars and industry–have shrunk or thawed many of the world's 70,000 glaciers. As the ice recedes, a treasure-trove of human and animal artifacts is emerging, extraordinarily well preserved after centuries in the deep freeze. The fabrics, wood, bone, and DNA-rich tissue found on the mucky fringes of the ice are revising scientists' understanding of our predecessors' health, habits, and technology, and the prey they pursued." This is great news - maybe some evidence of a global catastrophe or ancient civilization will emerge?
link me RobertBast, September 19, 2002 at 10:37:00 AM AEST More interesting ancient tomb... After the humor of watching Zahi Hawass knock a chunk out of an ancient tomb lid without any sign of concern, we have this: Archaeologists working in Teotihuacan are confident of finding the tomb of a king within the Pyramid of the Moon. Unlike Egypt, in Central America the bodies of kings often get found within pyramids. They are very close... Unlike Egypt (what happened to the broken door handles and have they been analysed, Zahi?), they'll probably tell us what they find!
link me RobertBast, September 9, 2002 at 2:52:00 PM AEST Giant wombats and other megafauna "The fossilized remains of giant lions and other ferocious monsters... A wombat — a burrowing, pig-like marsupial that carries its young in a pouch — the size of a mini car and the world's largest kangaroo [10 feet tall] were among the creatures unearthed in caves on the Nullarbor Plain, the vast desert stretching from Kalgoorlie in Western Australia to South Australia's Gawler Ranges." The article says that the fossils are "believed to be around 1.5 million years old", even though they are still waiting for dating test results, and the arrival of humans 60,000 years ago is offered as one reason for their extinction. Like many other "bone caves" around the world, we have a bunch of creatures that would never hang out together, all dying at the same time in a mysterious way. Sheltering from a cataclysm is a reasonable possibility for why they were together.
link me RobertBast, August 25, 2002 at 12:52:00 PM AEST Sea Dragons - biggest predator ever! They are finding bigger species of long-dead ichthyosaurs ...length at 23 metres. The skull alone was 5.8 m long, and each broad, tapered flipper was 5.3 m long. The largest of the creature's hockey-puck-shaped vertebrae is 27 cm across... Isolated fossil vertebrae of other animals from the same species, taken from this site and others in British Columbia, are 36 cm across, meaning it was a minimum of 30 metres in length. ... the ichthyosaur was an ambush predator, lunging at its meals as they swam past...
