Hancock discovers underwater city Well, his team did. This was posted at his official message board: Hi Guys, sorry about the infrequency of the updates but it was hard to get stuff through from Poompuhur, and every update I did cost me a days diving. However in Mamallapuram things are far better (though hotter!). The first days diving here Graham didn't dive through admin reasons, but after the dive he was waiting on the beach to see if we had found anything, you should have seen his face as we told him of the things we had found, basically I had never seen him so happy, until that was, yesterday when he dived the site himself. He has asked me to let you all know that he feels the site he has found is a complete vindication of the last 10 years of his work, and that the press conference the days after we get back will tell you everything you need to know about the site. On a personal note, I will mention that I personally have seen huge towering structures at the site under water with small entryways, long running walls, steps and far more stuff, I can't wait to show you the pics after the press conference. I will be in the internet cafe here for another half an hour so if anyone posts anything by then I will try and answer questions after that I'm going to have to go and get another bottle of water! Take care MikeS link me RobertBast, April 3, 2002 at 5:05:04 PM AEST More on Cuban underwater site "Manuel Iturralde, research director of Cuba's Natural History Museum, has joined Canadian exploration company Advanced Digital Communications (ADC) in efforts to solve the mystery of the smooth, geometrically shaped, granite-like rocks. They are laid out in structures resembling pyramids, roads and other structures at more than 600 meters deep (2,000 feet) in a 20 km-square (7-3/4 mile-square) area." MSNBC: ADC plans to take a specially designed robot to the site in a few months to take samples of the rocks and the sediment they are embedded in to try to date them and seek signs they may have once been on dry land. They will also be searching for any sign of human life such as drawings, sculptures or artifacts. ''To drill samples from these structures is not easy because they look like granite. And to drill granite at a depth of 600 meters is very difficult,'' Zelitsky said. Electric Warrior: It appears that the videotape is being analyzed by the Marine Archaeology and Anthropology Center of the Cuban Academy of Sciences. The experts' work is centered around the inscriptions found on the stones, which were undoubtedly made by humans. It has been proven that the stones were cut and dressed to fit one another and form larger structures. Very little is known about the inscriptions, except that they are numerous and are found practically throughout the underwater site. Symbols and drawings of unknown significance have also been found. link me RobertBast, April 2, 2002 at 12:59:10 PM AEST Mysterious Gold Cone Hats 
"Wizards really did wear tall pointed hats - but not the crumpled cloth kind donned by such fictional characters as Harry Potter, Gandalf and Merlin.
The wizards of early Europe wore hats of gold intricately embellished with astrological symbols that helped them to predict the movement of the sun and stars." Call me a skeptic, but nowhere in the article does it mention how heavy these hats must be! link me RobertBast, March 28, 2002 at 5:38:20 PM AEDT Humans dwelt in Ice-Age Tibet Nature.com reports: "Handprints and footprints 20,000 years old reveal that people lived on the Tibetan plateau at the height of the Ice Age - 16,000 years earlier than scientists had thought. The newly found signs of life cast doubt on the idea that a glacier a kilometre thick covered the plateau at that time." Perhaps: Prior to a pole shift 10,000 or so years ago, the North Pole was situated in Hudson Bay. This would mean Tibet was at the Equator, and probably warmer than today. link me RobertBast, March 21, 2002 at 6:05:59 PM AEDT Giant Siberian monoliths 
From the AAS-RA news department:
"The drawing was published in William Corliss' newsletter Science Frontiers (Sept. / Oct. 2000). The pictures illustrates the so called "... 'Tombs of the Genii', as they appeared circa 1876. These towering standing stones were - and perhaps still are - located on the Kora River in what was Soviet Turkestan, Siberia. When you learn of their sizes, you'll realize that these lithic monsters must still be there... The largest of these standing stones rises 75 feet above ground level and probably penetrates 12 feet below. Its weight is in the neighborhood of 3,800 tons! This is more than 10 times the weight of Er Grah, the largest standing stone in Brittany and more than twice the size of the massive Trilithon still languishing in its quarry at Baalbek, Lebanon. This latter stone is routinely calimed to be the largest dressed monolith in the world. It isn't! ..." Any confirmation or information about these gigantic monoliths could be send to Mr. Ulrich Dopatka (dopatka@legendarytimes.com). More and other discoveries are published in our journal Legendary Times." This might be the standing stone equivalent of the Chinese pyramids! link me RobertBast, March 19, 2002 at 10:45:41 AM AEDT Corihuayrachina - a new Machu Picchu "In the first major Inca find in four decades, Peruvian and British explorers say they have discovered a hidden city...Located on a narrow ridge around 11,000 feet up in Peru's windswept, southern Andes, the Inca citadel of Corihuayrachina is a mysterious gathering of religious platforms, funeral towers, and food storehouses...It is about 22 miles southwest of the famous Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.... Peter Frost said he found Corihuayrachina -- eyeing it from afar but not able to actually reach it -- when he was leading a group of tourists through the remote region in 1999. Funded by National Geographic Society, Frost was finally able to set foot on the cloud-shrouded site two years later in June, 2001, trekking four days along winding mountain paths with a team of scientists and excavators". A television special will screen in May. Reports from Reuters/Yahoo, Washington Post, BBC and AP/MSNBC link me 2012, March 18, 2002 at 1:48:25 PM AEDT Oldest Mayan mural found 
Dating from 100 A.D., this Guatemalan mural is the oldest intact painting of Mayan mythology ever found - the previous oldest were the Bonampak murals (in Mexico, 790 AD)
The 4-foot (1.219 metre) long mural comprised possibly only 10 percent of a massive wall painting in a room whose dimensions were still unclear. The site, which also includes an 80-foot high pyramid, have been known to looters for years, but archaeologists have only just visited it. Reports from Reuters and Christian Science Monitor link me RobertBast, March 10, 2002 at 11:49:10 AM AEDT Chinese explorers 'discovered America' "When explorer Christopher Columbus landed in America in 1492, he was 72 years behind a Chinese expeditionary force, which had already made its way to the area. And although Captain James Cook was credited with discovering Australia for the British Empire in 1770, the Chinese had mapped the island continent 337 years earlier." British historian and map expert Gavin Menzies will disclose his findings to the prestigious Royal Geographical Society on March 15. Reports here and here This is not an original idea. Even Australian crackpot Rex Gilroy wrote about it in 1986, he undoubtedly got the idea from elsewhere. His article disappeared from the web shortly after I linked to it, but archive.org still have it cached "In 338 B.C., Shih Tzu wrote of the presence of apparent kangaroos kept in the Imperial Zoo in Peking, and further similar reports continued in several later dynasties. Emperor Chao about this time dispatched a fleet of junks with orders to return with marsupials from the southern land of "Chui Hiao", and a Chinese book "The Classics of Shan Hai", written some time before 338 B.C., describes Australian Aboriginals and their use of the boomerang. UPDATE: Review of Gavin Menzies's presentation link me RobertBast, March 4, 2002 at 7:36:41 PM AEDT Oldest American pyramids
"Dr. Ruth Shady believes Caral was a sacred city and administrative center for a civilization that built 17 other sites, most still buried in the Supe Valley and on the nearby Pacific coast." Visit TimeSpinner, worldnews.com or read a BBC documentary transcipt link me RobertBast, February 27, 2002 at 9:08:50 AM AEDT Cyclops Skulls Found In Filipino Caves Ancient skulls bearing a single eyeball socket have been found in limestone caves in the hinterlands of Bohol, Bukidnon and Agusan, reports said. "The existence of the skulls, which resemble those of the cyclops, a race of giants in Greek mythology with a single eye in the middle of the forehead, has triggered speculations that one-eyed ancient settlers once roamed the country’s southern islands. Tribal folklore maintain there were two races of giants in ancient times — the kapre who were associated with evil, and the one-eyed giants whom early settlers regarded as their heroes." Not a cyclops, says zooarcheologist [ archived ] link me RobertBast, February 26, 2002 at 11:32:53 AM AEDT US Professor makes stone circle By "using an ancient design and 56 tons of Berkshire granite, Judith Young has created a teaching tool for a new millennium with her massive modern stone circle. It sits outside the football stadium at the University of Massachusetts." 130 feet in diameter, "Her standing stones are precisely aligned to Amherst's latitude to allow university students, schoolchildren and just ordinary folks to explore the mysteries of the universe" Yahoo story and web page with pics link me 2012, February 25, 2002 at 8:30:36 PM AEDT Silbury Hill - spiral path discovered "Archeologists working on repairs to Silbury Hill, a mysterious neolithic monument in southwest England, have discovered traces of a spiral path leading to its summit. The finding indicates a possible ceremonial use for the 92 feet high mound, believed to have been constructed over 4,500 years ago...", reports Yahoo/Reuters. An excellent diagram is at the Telegragh site (backup at FarShores) link me 2012, February 21, 2002 at 9:16:09 AM AEDT Update on Indian sunken city As widely reported last month, what appears to be an ancient city is buried 130 feet down off the northwestern coast of India in the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay). Wood found at the Cambay site was dated at 7,500 years old - but a newly carbon-dated piece of wood gives an age of 9,500 years, pre-dating all other civilizations. Graham Hancock will surely be wetting himself with excitement - with this news coinciding with his new TV show on this very topic. See Earthfiles (Linda Moulton Howe) and Arabia.com for more info link me 2012, January 20, 2002 at 3:08:22 PM AEDT Another underwater civilization discovery A BBC report of an archaeological site off India's western coast that may be up to 9,000 years old. Acoustic images from the sea-bed suggested the presence of built-up structures resembling the ancient Harappan civilisation, which only dates back around 4,000 years. More at Times of India and BBC again Feb 2002 articles at Earthfiles (Linda Moulton Howe) and Arabia.com link me 2012, January 3, 2002 at 2:39:04 PM AEDT Are the Pyramids made of Concrete? This little Guardian/Observer article introduces the ideas of Joël Bertho, an architect and specialist in reconstituted stone. And they have a lot of validity. If it was possible to take a mixture up the pyramids in buckets, and then create the blocks there, then we can forget all about ramps, pulleys, ropes and so on. And it is more believable than sonic levitation. Apparantly the authorities won't let this chap gather any more samples for comparison. Others have previously theorised on this. There is an excellent four-part article online at Geopolymer.org, as well as a whole book on the subject. link me |
