Joe Szostak - View the Evidence

Because of space restrictions I was unable to include all of the anomalous photographic evidence within my books. As a result I have created this page that is dedicated to providing additional photographs and images in support of the explosive evidence presented in Evidence of Lost Ancient Civilizations: Case Closed (EOLAC:CC), Riddles of the Past: Solving Mankind's Ancient Mysteries (ROTP:SMAM), and Mankind's Origins: The Hidden Secret Revealed (MO:THSR). Accompanying each photo/image I reference its specific location inside my books along with some background detail.

Much of this evidence calls into serious question the evolutionary timeline that mainstream science and history have maintained. It clearly demonstrates that something very strange, mysterious and epic occurred on our planet in the distant past. How could dinosaurs and humans have co-existed when they supposedly lived 60 million years apart? What is the explanation for modern artifacts such as a metallic bell, doll, metallic chain, metal cup, golden wire, human teeth, fabric, hooks, obsidian earplugs, rings, nails, pipes and bowls found in coal, soil, and rock formations hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of years old? Who was responsible for the development of impossible ancient technology and mapping techniques that were never duplicated again until the 19th century - some 2,000 years later? What is the explanation for giant red-haired skeletons and strange-shaped skulls found around the world? Where does our historical record document this race of beings as having existed?

Keep in mind that the following exhibits comprise only a small fraction of the prevailing evidence which is available. Many more similar discoveries are detailed throughout my books. Most of the discoveries shown here were either made by archaeologists, anthropologists, geologists, botanists or other professional individuals or were subject to scrutiny, study and peer review by scientific sources to prove their validity.

Another addition to this page is a presentation of anomalous evidence from Mars and elsewhere within our Solar System. There is mounting proof that humanoid life on Earth could actually have originated on Mars, or somewhere else in our Solar System. The presence of so many artificial structures, and their similarity in style and design to ancient civilization buildings and architecture on Earth cannot lead to any other conclusion. Just the discussion of artificial structures existing on other planets and moons within our Solar System is amazing enough in itself. It should be heralded as the greatest discovery of all time, instead of being swept under the carpet as it has been for decades. Through this compelling evidence we now learn that mankind could have its ancestral roots on a neighboring planet right in our own backyard.

Our ancient history, or earliest beginnings here on Earth, could be traced to a mass migration from within our own Solar System. This would help to explain the many gaps and inconsistencies in the human evolutionary timeline. These two links are located at the bottom of the title search margin on the left side of this page and are labeled Mars Anomalies and Solar System Anomalies.

These are just some of the many mysteries that remain unanswered to this day that are explored in my books.

Antikythera Mechanism

The Antikythera Mechanism is an ancient mechanical calculator (also described as the first mechanical computer) designed to calculate astronomical positions and alignments. It was discovered in a sunken wreck off the coast of Greece in 1900. It is estimated to have been constructed between 150-100 B.C. The device is remarkable for the level of miniaturization and complexity of its parts, which is comparable to 18th century clocks. It contains as many as 70 gears with teeth formed through equilateral triangles. Who would have had such an advanced knowledge of astronomy and mechanics to be able to construct such a device in 150 B.C., never to be duplicated for nearly 2,000 years? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 390)

Baghdad Electric Batteries

The Baghdad Electric Batteries are a number of artifacts created in 250-225 A.D. in Mesopotamia. These jars were discovered in 1936 near present day Baghdad, Iraq. Experiments with models of Baghdad electric batteries have generated between 1.5 and 2 volts. They consist of 5-1/2-inch high by 3-inch wide terracotta jars containing a copper cylinder made of a rolled-up copper sheet, housing a single iron rod. Their purpose is still unknown to this day. Some have suggested they may have been used for electroplating objects with gold. Others believe the batteries may have been used medicinally. Electricity was not invented until the 18th century. So where do the Baghdad electric batteries, built thousands of years earlier, fit in? And why isn't this included in our mainstream educational curriculum? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 391)

Cone-shaped Skulls

Thousands of cone-shaped skulls have been discovered the world over. Mainstream science is quick to explain these anomalies as being the result of a procedure known as "cranial binding", in which a person's head is tightly bound (usually from infancy) with cloth or leather straps throughout its lifetime, causing the skull to grow in this peculiar way. However, in most of the specimens there are no signs of forced compression leading to deformations normally caused by binding of the skull. If binding caused the deformities of the skull, there would have been deformities evident in the frontal region of the skull, which was not visible. Furthermore, binding of this kind would have also left a soft spot at the crown of the head, which was not apparent. Even assuming that these skulls were the result of cranial binding, what would have been the reason for doing this? Was it performed as a form of respect and tribute to their "gods" (extraterrestrial visitors) - something similar to "cargo cult" worship here on Earh? This could be one logical explanation considering this phenomena was global in nature and none of the cultures were aware of each other. Other anomalous features of the these elongated skulls include radiological studies indicating that brains contained within some of them were much larger than normal humans; others had six toes. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 247)

What happens when a very young child's complete skeleton is found intact with an already-formed and perfect elongated skull? What can the explanation be for this strange anatomical feature? The cranial binding theory can be dismissed since the child didn't live long enough for the process to have an effect. So how did this child develop an elongated skull so early in life? This is one example that modern science chooses to avoid like the plague - because it has no answer. Conventional science would no doubt claim this condition to be a mutation of some kind - an isolated, rare case involving some disease. But mutation cannot explain finding several elongated skulls in different regions of a country, or throughout the world. As disturbing as it may be to look at the photo on the left and consider its implications, it leaves us with only two possible explanations - (1) that some other type of humanoid lived on Earth very recently, along with Homo sapiens or, (2) that bio-genetic engineering was taking place on Earth sometime in the distant past. Either way it proves that something mysterious and epic happened on Earth long ago. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 247)

Anomalous Infant Skull

This anomalous skull was discovered in Iberia, Brazil. The mummified remains are housed in the Wilson Estanovic Museum of Natural History in Uberaba, Brazil. The skull is that of an infant, yet it is twice the size of a normal adult human skull. As the photo illustrates the size of the head is completely out of proportion in relation to the rest of the small body, which measures only 20 inches in length. Another interesting feature is that it has six toes. Polydactily (having an extra toe or finger) is not so unusual in itself, but if this child is alien-human hybrid then we have to at least consider the theory that polydactily could be a genetic throwback to DNA manipulation that occurred in Earth's ancient past. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 249)

Horned Skulls

The existence of what appears to be numerous horned skulls is probably one of the most controversial artifacts in existence, and certainly not one that modern science can easily explain away. The skull shown here was discovered in France. Analysis and X-ray examination of the skull demonstrated that the horns were genuinely part of the skull and that it was not a forgery. It is only one of hundreds found worldwide and currently sits on display at the London Museum. Several 7-foot tall skeletons with horned protrusions were unearthed in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 256)

Piri Reis Map

The map pictured here is the famous Piri Reis Map from 1513 created by the Turkish admiral and cartographer of the same name. It is the oldest surviving map to show the Americas. The map is particularly noteworthy for its depiction of a southern landmass that appears to be Antarctica, which wasn't known to the world until its discovery in 1820. Even more amazing are a series of notes on the map explaining that it was compiled and copied using data from a number of earlier source maps, which dated back to the 4th century B.C. or earlier. Other claims of this map and several others like it include: (a) they show the Earth as seen from outer space orbit; (b) they show the sub glacial topography of Greenland; (c) they show the sub glacial topography of Antarctica. How did our ancient ancestors acquire such detailed knowledge of the Earth, only attainable from an aerial reconnaissance. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 401)

The Mayan calendar (photo on left) was of a highly complex design, advanced and accurate to several decimal places. Yet this incredible work of calculation was achieved well over a thousand years ago. In addition, Mayan knowledge of astronomy, particularly the cycles of the planets and the sidereal year were all expressed to an uncanny degree of accuracy. This work couldn't have been better accomplished with precision measuring devices like those of today. The Mayan calendar is truly an astonishing achievement. It terminates on December 21, 2012 and many have speculated that this signifies the end of the world. However, what is most interesting is the fantastic extent of the time periods that the calendar encompasses. This Long Count of Days, as it is known, consists of the aggregate total of five different time cycles. It means the cumulative total makes possible the accurate dating of events unimaginably distant. The highest unit in this calendar, the alautun, is equivalent to 63 million years. One Mayan inscription from Quirigua mentions events occurring 90 million years ago. Another inscription from the same locality goes back even further to 400 million years. But why use such incredible numbers? What purpose was there for them? For although we ourselves use dates equally as long, they are usually in reference to rather vague geological time periods whose boundaries are difficult to define within a couple of million years. Yet the Mayan records display none of this vagueness. They mention specific dates that are millions of years old. Incredibly, the Mayan calendar provided the ability to refer to events on particular days, weeks, and months many millions of years ago. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 176)

The origin, language, and date of the Voynich Manuscript (two photos on left) are still being debated as vigorously as its puzzling drawings and undeciphered text. Described as a magical or scientific text, nearly every page contains botanical and scientific drawings in ink with vibrant washes in various shades of green, brown, yellow, blue, and red. The Voynich Manuscript is considered to be "The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World". To this day this medieval artifact resists all efforts at translation. The manuscript is named after its discoverer, the American antique book dealer and collector, Wilfrid M. Voynich, who discovered it in 1912 amongst a collection of ancient manuscripts kept in villa Mondragone in Frascati, near Rome. Based on the evidence of the calligraphy, the drawings, the vellum, and the pigments, Wilfrid Voynich estimated that the manuscript was created in the late 13th century. The manuscript is small - seven by ten inches, but nearly 235 pages thick. It is written in an unknown script of which there is no known other example in the world, and is abundantly illustrated. No one really knows the origins of the manuscript. The experts believe it is European and was written between the 15th and 16th centuries. It is an alphabetic script, but of an alphabet believed to have from 19 to 28 letters, none of which bear any relationship to any English or European letter system. The text has no apparent corrections. There is evidence for two different languages and more than one scribe, probably indicating an ambiguous coding system. Apparently Voynich wanted to have the mysterious manuscript deciphered and provided photographic copies to a number of experts. However, despite the efforts of many well known cryptologists and scholars, the book remains unread. There are some claims of decipherment, but to date, none of these can be substantiated with a complete translation.

A large stone vessel, resembling a libation bowl, and now known as the Fuente Magna (two photos on left), was originally discovered by a country peasant in the Lake Titicaca area, about 50 miles from La Paz, Bolivia. The site where it was found has not been subject to investigation until recently. The Fuente Magna was not shown publicly in Bolivia until the year 2000. Up until then it was considered false, until investigations began. It is beautifully engraved in chestnut-brown both inside and out. Study has continued into what many refer to as the "Rosetta Stone of the Americas". Preliminary investigations indicate that: we are dealing with an artifact which was made in keeping with Mesopotamian tradition; it contains two texts, one in cuneiform and another Semitic language; according to the symbols used this artifact appears to date from the transitional period between ideographical writing and cuneiform; chronologically this leads us to the 3500/3000 B.C. (Sumerian/Akkadian) period.

Human & Dinosaur Tracks

Photo on left shows a human footprint within a trail of dinosaur tracks in a Texas river bed. Photo on right is a human sandal print taken from inside of a slab of rock dated to the Cambrian period, over 500 million-years-old. These are only a sample of hundreds collected worldwide. Dinosaurs were supposedly wiped out in a mass global extinction 65 million years ago. Bipedal humans have only walked the Earth for less than 3 million years, pre-human primates less than 7 million years. So how could human footprints be found alongside those of dinosaurs, or in 500 million-year-old rock formations? (EOLAC:CC Pgs. 421-423)

This iron and wooden hammer, also known as the London Artifact was found by local hikers in a creek bed near London, Texas. The hammer, which was partially embedded in a small limy, rock concretion, originated in a Cretaceous rock formation (100 million-years-old), thus contradicting the conventional geological timetable. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 429)

Man-made Iron Pot

An electric company employee in Arkansas broke open a large lump of coal, revealing this man-made iron pot. The original coal bed was reportedly mid Pennsylvanian age - about 300 million-years-old by geological standards. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 429)

Mysterious Metal Object

In Romania a group of workers, on the banks of the river Mures, discovered three buried objects in a trench 33 feet deep. Two of the objects were Mastodon bones, millions of years old from the Miocene and Pleistocene periods. The third object pictured here, resembling the head of a hammer, was sent for study to the archaeological institute of Cluj-Napoca. Examination of this object ignited a debate within the scientific community. The fact that this unusual metal object is found together with very ancient bones is very strange. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 336)

This mystery rock was found with an embedded man-made like electrical component pin. It was found encased in a very hard dirt and only the tips of the pins exposed, and required many hours to clean around the pins using a dental tool. The material is solid, natural quartz and feldspar granite, has very little observed mica and not an accretion, concretion, or pumice. It does not contain any resins, cements, glues, limestone, mortar, or other non-granite binding agents. It is very hard, and estimated to be at least 100,000 years-old. What is its origin? What was its purpose? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 337)

Stone with Threaded Insert

This strange stone was found on a field research trip to the Mazong Mountain area located on the border of Gansu and Xijiang provinces in China. The pear-shaped stone is extremely hard and has a mysterious black color. It is embedded with a 2.4-inch long cone-shaped metal bar having clear screw threads. The screw thread width remains consistent from the wide end to the narrow end, instead of varying width due to the growth of organisms. The screw thread metal bar is tightly enclosed inside the black lithical material. Neither the bar's entrance to the stone nor the exposed bar tip appear to be man-made. Many geologists and physicists from around the world have examined this mysterious stone and have not been able to determine its origin. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 338)

Salzburg Cube

This object was removed from a block of brown coal that had been mined in Wolfsegg, Austria. It has since become known as the Salzburg Cube. The tertiary coal deposit in which it had been embedded is dated to about 60 million years ago. In 1886 one geologist suggested that its was meteoritic in origin. It was exhibited from 1950-58. In 1966-67 it was analyzed using electron-beam microanalysis. There were no traces of nickel, chromium, or cobalt in the iron suggesting that it was not of meteoritic origin. The lack of sulphur showed that it was not a pyrite. Many experts agree that because of the straightness, sharpness and uniformity of the edges it was a machine-made instrument and part of a much larger device. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 344)

Metallic Spheres

South African miners have found hundreds of these metallic spheres, which have three parallel grooves running around their equator. The spheres are 1-4 inches in diameter. The curator of the Klerksdorp Museum, where some of them are housed, insists that they are a complete mystery. They appear to be man-made, yet at the time in Earth's history when they came to rest in this rock no intelligent life existed. The spheres have been found in a Precambrian mineral deposit (a layer of pyrophyllite rock) said to be 2.8 billion-years-old! (EOLAC:CC Pg. 430)

Prehistoric Human Footprint

In a story from American Anthropologist, comes the finding of a perfect human imprint in stone near Parkersburg, on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River. The track is 14-1/2 inches long, and was embedded in stone dated at 150 million-years-old. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 433)

Brazilian Footprints

Brazil's Barra do Garcas region has a rich and mystical history. Local Indian legends tell of a time when there were small creatures, approximately four-feet in height, living among their ancestors. These beings all had a disproportionate head-to-body ratio and unlike humans walked with three, four and even six toes on each foot (photo on left). According to legend they lived in caves and came from the stars. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 141)

Metallic Bell

This metallic bell was found inside of a large piece of coal in West Virginia. The bituminous coal formation that was mined in this area is estimated to be 286-360 million-years-old. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 433)

Metallic Vase

This metallic vase was dynamited out of solid rock in Dorchester, Massachusetts. The vase metal was composed of a zinc alloy and contained a considerable portion of silver. The chasing, carving and inlaying are exquisitely done by the art of some unknown craftsman. The vase was blown out of solid pudding stone from 15 feet below the surface. The estimated age of the stone was 100,000 years. After more than 150 years of investigation the artifact remains unidentified. Originally presented at Harvard University, it has been passed along to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, who co-operated with M.I.T. in an attempt to determine its place and period of origin. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 432)

Coso Artifact

The Coso Artifact was discovered in the mountains of California near Olancha. It was believed to be a geode rock formation. After cutting it open a porcelain object was found inside. In the center was a shaft made of shiny material. Experts estimated that, if this was a geode, it should have taken about 500,000 years for this fossil-encrusted nodule to form, yet the object inside was obviously of sophisticated human manufacture. Further investigation has identified the artifact as a 1920s-era Champion spark plug. How could a 1920s spark plug get inside of a 500,000 year-old rock? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 433)

Between 1991-93 these objects were discovered in the Ural Mountain region of the Soviet Union. Their sizes range from 1.2 inches down to an incredible 1/10,000th of an inch. They were pulled from depths of up to 40 feet. Tests carried out give an age for the objects of between 20,000 and 318,000 years. The objects are composed of various rare metals such as tungsten and molybdenum. These objects are obviously the product of an inexplicable and highly advanced technology. What was their purpose? Which of our distant ancient ancestors were capable of producing such precision artifacts? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 340)

The world's oldest toy car (photo on left) was unearthed during excavations in the Kiziltepe district of the southeastern province of Mardin, and is currently on display at the Mardin Museum in Turkey. Turkish archaeologists claim the toy car, which is made from stone, dates back to the late Stone Age and is believed to be 7,500 years old. But where did they get the idea for a car? This artifact closely resembles an Egyptian chariot - used many thousands of years later. Could this be a copy of one of those chariots? The only problem is that this toy model was built 2,000 years before the invention of the wheel - a real quandary for mainstream archaeology to explain.

Nampa Doll

The Nampa Doll is a clay doll discovered in Nampa, Idaho. It measures 1-1/2 inches in length and was brought up by a well drill from a depth of 300 feet. The strata at this depth is dated at about 2 million years old. This figurine was found under several different strata including 15 feet of lava basalt. Also from this depth were brought up many small clay balls. The presence of iron on the surface of the figurine indicates that it is of ancient origin and could not have been hoaxed. Many scientists who investigated the incident shortly after the discovery agreed that the figurine is authentic. This anomalous artifact clearly does not fit within the established theory of human evolution and history. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 431)

Chalk Ball

This chalk ball was discovered in an early Eocene lignite bed. Based on its stratigraphic position, it has been assigned a date of 45-55 million years ago. According to one professional source there was no possibility that the chalk ball was a forgery. It was penetrated over four-fifths of its height by a black bituminous color that merged toward the top into a yellow circle, and which was evidently due to the contact of the lignite in which it had been for so long a time plunged. As to the rock in which it was found, it was perfectly virgin and showed no trace whatsoever of any exploitation. Who built this man-made artifact so long ago in our distant past, 40 million years before humans were supposed to have existed? (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 145)

Tanzanian Human Skull

This modern skull, found in Tanzania, is from a fully human skeleton that remains a source of mystery to this day. The human skeletal remains, including this complete skull, were cemented into a rock and had to be chipped away with hammers and chisels. It was found in the upper end of a rock bed dated at more than 1 million-years-old. The skeleton was distorted by compression from the weight of substantial accumulation of sediment in the overlying strata, proving that it wasn't a shallow burial. How did this modern human find their way 1 million years into the past? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 258)

Buenos Aires Human Skull

Workers excavating a dry dock in Buenos Aires, Argentina found this modern human skull. The stratum in which the skull was found was at least 1 to 1.5 million-years-old. Even at 1 million years the presence of a fully modern human skull anywhere in the world is highly anomalous. Why and how did a modern human arrive in Buenos Aires over 1 million years ahead of its time? (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 145)

This anatomically modern human skull was found in Italy. The stratum from which it was taken is assigned to the Astian stage of the Pliocene, giving the skull an age of 3-4 million years. Why and how did this modern skull visit Italy nearly 2 million years before humans walked the planet? (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 145)

Pestle and Mortar

This pestle and mortar were found in a California tunnel. They were discovered at a distance of 1,400-1,500 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, or 200-300 feet beyond the edge of the solid lava. It was impossible for these relics to have reached the location which they were found excepting at the time the gravel was deposited, and before the lava cap formed. The position of these artifacts in gravel close to the bedrock indicates they were 33-55 million-years-old. Grazing and carnivorous mammals had not been evolved on Earth at this time. So who brought and left behind these artifacts nearly 50 million years ago? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 342)

This statue, know as the Venus of Willendorf, was discovered in Austria. It is a 4-3/8 inch tall statuette of a female figure dated at 30,000 years old, carved from an oolitic limestone that is not local to the area, and tinted with red ochre. Who could have created and left behind this artifact nearly 20,000 years before human civilization appeared? (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 145)

Crystal Skulls

Crystal skulls are human skull models made from clear or milky quartz crystal rock believed to be pre-Columbian Mesoamerican artifacts. They have been found in various locations throughout the world. Thirteen of them have been found in parts of Mexico, Central America and South America. Microscopic examination shows no sign of tool marks. Modern science is stumped in explaining how a primitive culture could have carved crystal into such precise shapes and against the natural axis of the crystal. Even with today's elaborate laser equipment, it would be extremely difficult to create such crystal sculptures. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 363)

Costa Rican Spheres

Workers in the Costa Rican jungle stumbled upon more than 300 of these spherical stone balls. They range in size from as small as a tennis ball to an astonishing 8-feet in diameter, weighing 16 tons. They are believed to have been carved between 200 B.C. and 1500 A.D. Although these stone balls are clearly man-made it is unknown who made them, for what purpose and, most puzzling, how those responsible for building them were able to achieve such spherical precision. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 360)

Prehistoric Human Handprint

What appears to be a fossil of a human handprint and finger were found in limestone estimated to be 110 million-years-old in the Canadian arctic. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 435)

Fossilized Head of a Man

This photo is a fossilized head of a man discovered near Gothenburg, Sweden. It clearly appears to be the head of a man, with very recognizable features immortalized in stone, or in this case flint. This presents a huge problem for current evolutionary and geological theories since flint (or any rock for that matter) was supposedly formed tens of millions of years before humans evolved. According to current geological theories flint stones were developing during the Cretaceous period 65-140 million years ago. This evidence challenges the traditional views on human evolution. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 141)

An Auroch is a large, buffalo-like animal that inhabited Europe, Asia and North Africa. It has been extinct for quite some time. Many skeletons have been found in Europe. What is remarkable about one located in the Moscow Museum of Paleontology is that it has a bullet hole in its skull (photo on right). The hole is round, without radial cracks that would result from slower projectiles like spears or arrows. It has been suggested that its skeleton may have been shot several times after its death. The only problem is that this auroch survived the wound and lived long enough for unmistakable calcification to appear at the site of the injury. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 362)

A similar round, clean, smooth hole without radial cracks was found in the skull of a Neanderthal man discovered in Rhodesia. The man supposedly died over 40,000 years ago. The skull is currently at the British Museum. It was found more than 50 feet below ground level. In addition to the hole consistent with that made by a bullet, the other side of the skull was blown out from the inside. One German forensic scientist who examined the skull stated categorically that the wound could only have come from a bullet because of the velocity necessary to produce the characteristics of the wound. (EOLAC:CC Pgs. 362-363)

The Toxodon was supposedly extinct nearly 2 million years ago, a time when hunter-gatherer humans did not exist. It was a large herbivore about 9 feet long and 5 feet high resembling a modern rhinoceros. It is speculated that these animals lived in South America and were hunted by the saber-toothed tiger. This toxodon has an arrow or spear point in the bone (blue arrow in photo on right). (EOLAC:CC Pg. 363)

Lovelock Giant Skull

Miners working in a cave 22 miles southwest of Lovelock, Nevada stumbled upon the mummified remains of an individual that must have stood between 6-1/2 feet and 8 feet in height. Photo on left shows skull next to a yardstick for comparison. It couldn't have been a Native American because it had distinctively red hair. Ancient legends of the local Paiute Indians described a race of red-haired giants who were the enemies of many Indian tribes of the region. Between February and June of 1931 two large skeletons were found in the Humboldt lake bed near Lovelock. The first of these skeletons measure 8-1/2 feet tall, the second was almost 10 feet tall. In 1939 a 7-foot 7-inch skeleton was discovered on a ranch near Lovelock. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 262)

Irish Fossilized Giant

This fossilized giant was discovered during mining activities in County Antrim, Ireland. In the photo on the right it is compared standing upright to a goods wagon. The main measurements were as follows: total height 12 feet 2 inches, theoretic circumference 6 feet 6 inches, length of arms 4 feet 6 inches, weight 4,112 pounds. The right foot also had six toes. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 148)

Giant Woman Footprint

In South Africa a giant footprint of a woman measuring over 4-feet in length has been dated at approximately 9 million-years-old. Pointing to the probability of this being a female human-like species foot, proportionally the two-legged being would need to be some 30 feet tall. The local African people commonly refer to this as a highly revered and sacred site. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 268)

Ica Stones

In 1961 Dr. Javier Cabrera received a gift of a strange stone from a local farmer. These andesite stones (photo on left) are estimated to be between 500 and 1,500 years old and have become known as the Ica Stones. The most astonishing feature of the stones is that the etchings clearly represent various dinosaurs - brontosaurus, triceratops, stegosaurus and pterosaurs. Cabrera has since collected over 15,000 of these stones. How would people living 1,500 years ago have any knowledge of dinosaurs, that were supposed to have been extinct 65 million years ago? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 416)

Dinosaur Statues

The terracotta statue and plate pictured here showing a strange dinosaur/sauropod with plates on its back were discovered in Italy near Caria. The area where these objects were found is estimated to be at least 3,000 years old. The plates are triangular and continue along the back until reaching the tail. The view from above the object reveals a strange curving of the plates, as if the animal had been represented in motion on the land. Some have suggested that this could be a salamander or lizard. However, neither of these two animals have plates on their back as depicted in these objects. How would people living 3,000 years ago have any knowledge of dinosaurs, that were supposed to have been extinct 65 million years ago? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 358)

Dinosaur Art

The picture on the left is from a Mesopotamian cylinder seal dated from 3300 B.C. The animal on the right is an artist's conception of an Apatosaurus taken from a skeleton. There are many striking similarities between the two depictions. Where did the original artist, in 3300 B.C., get the model to draw such an accurate representation of a saurapod? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 384)

Cambodian Stegosaurus

This photo is taken from the stunning Ta Prohm Temple located deep in the jungles of Cambodia. This temple is the work of the remarkable Khmer civilization which lasted from around 800 A.D. to 1400 A.D. Unlike most Angkorian temples Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found. The temple is covered with the most intricate of carvings, including very distinct and clear images that seem to depict a Stegosaurus. This would indicate that this creature might well have survived up until the Khmer era in the region. Local experts insist that it is unlikely that these images are a recent addition to the temple. According to conventional science this species existed in North America and died out around 155 million years ago. Villagers in the vicinity of the temple are said to retain traditions of this animal existing until fairly recent times. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 35)

Tropical Antarctica

Discovery of fossilized stumps of deciduous trees in Antarctica indicates that it once enjoyed a much warmer climate in the past. Photo on left is of a fossilized leaf. The lack of frost rings in stump samples suggests that there were no hard frosts during their growing period. Remains of a 260 million-year-old forest of deciduous trees is located only 400 miles from the South Pole. In 1958 Charles Hapgood presented his revolutionary polar shift theory that both poles and the Earth's crust have shifted several times in the past. His main contention was that Antarctica was once situated at least 2,000 miles further north from its present position, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, between South America and Africa. This goes a long way in explaining how and where an ancient civilization (Atlantis) might have once thrived. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 394)

The Hindu Kailasa Temple (two photos on left) in India is one of the most stunning architectural achievements on Earth. Carved to represent Mt. Kailasa, the home of the god Shiva in the Himalayas, it is the largest monolithic structure in the world, carved top-down from a single rock. It contains the largest cantilevered rock ceiling in the world. The scale at which the work was undertaken is enormous. It covers twice the area of the Parthenon in Athens, is 1.5 times higher, and it entailed removing 200,000 tons of rock. It is believed to have taken 7,000 laborers 150 years to complete the project. The temple itself is 164 feet deep, 109 feet wide, and 98 feet high.

In Delhi, India is the famed Ashoka Iron Pillar (photo on left), generally believed to date from the 4th century A.D., but said by some scholars to be over 4,000 years old. It is a solid shaft of iron 16 inches in diameter, standing 23 feet high and weighing more than 6 tons. It has attracted the attention of both archaeologists and metallurgists, as it has withstood corrosion and decomposition for over 1,600 years in the open air. The pillar defies explanation, not only for not having rusted, but because it is apparently made of 98 percent pure wrought iron. This testament to the high level of skill achieved by ancient Indian ironsmiths can only be produced today in tiny quantities by electrolysis. The mystery of the use of iron in Asia, especially in India, is one that largely baffles modern metallurgists. Is is assumed that these countries developed iron and other metallurgical skills after the west, but the evidence indicates otherwise. The pillar bears an inscription which states that it was erected in honor of the Hindu god Vishnu, and in memory of the Gupta King Chandragupta II (375-413 A.D.). How the pillar moved to its present location remains a mystery. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 353)

Not all megalithic sites on Earth are ancient. Ed Leedskalnin was an eccentric Latvian immigrant to the United States and amateur sculptor who single-handedly built the monument site known as Coral Castle in Florida (four photos on left). He was also known for his unusual theories on magnetism. At the age of 26, he was engaged to marry Agnes Scuffs, a girl ten years younger. However, the girl that Leedskalnin referred to as his "Sweet Sixteen" broke the engagement the night before their wedding. Several years later he immigrated to North America where he found work in lumber camps in Canada, California, and Texas. After contracting a case of tuberculosis Leedskalnin moved to the warmer climate of Florida around 1919, where he purchased a small piece of land. Over the next 20 years he constructed and lived within a massive coral monument he called Rock Gate Park, dedicated to the girl who had left him years before. Working alone at night, Leedskalnin quarried and sculpted over 1,100 tons of coral into a monument that would later be known as Coral Castle. Located in Homestead, Florida Coral Castle is one of the most amazing structures ever built. In terms of accomplishment it has been compared to Stonehenge, ancient Greek temples, and even the great pyramids of Egypt. It is truly amazing - some say miraculous - because it was quarried, fashioned, transported, and constructed by one man who was 5-feet tall and weighed only 100 pounds. The Nine-ton Gate on the property is a testament to Leedskalnin's genius (bottom photo on left). The gate, originally used as a turnstile, is perfectly mounted and balanced so that a child can open it with the touch of a finger - a remarkable achievement considering its size and weight. The gate is approximately 80 inches wide by 92 inches tall and is 21 inches thick, and fits within a quarter of an inch of the walls on both sides. The mystery of the Nine-ton Gate has been documented on numerous television shows and in a variety of print publications. In 1986 a team of engineers was brought in for consultation. In order to remove the gate, six men and a 50-ton crane were utilized. Leedskalnin often spoke of having learned the secrets of the pyramids, and having 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. Leedskalnin gave polite, but cryptic answers to visitor's questions regarding his construction methods, which to this day remain a mystery. Did Ed Leedskalnin rediscover the secrets to the building of the pyramids, of levitation, of anti-gravity? His amazing Coral Castle may hold clues to long-lost powers. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 117)

The Georgia Guidestones (photo on left) monument is located In Elbert County, Georgia (USA). It is a 20-foot tall monument made of six astronomically aligned granite slabs. There is a capstone, one slab stands in the center, and around it stand four vertical slabs. The north/south pair of slabs is aligned to the poles. The central hollow of the structure is designed to be lit by light from the sun at noon no matter the time of year. The entire monument weighs 118 tons and is fitted with a small hole that will allow one to stand at the base and observe the North Star. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some clarifying notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones. A message consisting of a set of ten guidlelines or principles is engraved in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones.

Eltanin Object

Between 1962 and 1979 the NSF Polar Research Vessel Eltanin surveyed Antarctic waters studying the ocean floor. In 1964 the ship photographed this unusual object at a depth of 13,500 feet. At the time there was no submarine capable of carrying such a piece of technology to this depth. The object appears to be a pole rising from the ocean floor with 12 spokes radiating from it, each ending in a sphere. The spokes are at a 15-degree angle to each other. The object is located 1,000 miles south of Cape Horn (southern tip of South America) beneath some of the most inhospitable seas in the world. Marine biologists have speculated that it might be some sort of organism, largely because it is otherwise so difficult to explain. However, there is no known form of marine life that looks remotely like this object. Several other theories exist but they are nothing more than forced explanations. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 368)

Hathor Temple Light Bulb

This intriguing glyph comes from the Hathor Temple in Dendera, Egypt. It went largely unnoticed throughout the archaeological community until a group of electrical engineers saw it. Their interpretation was that it closely resembled a light bulb/lamp with a cable leading to a power source. They observed that certain elements, especially the cables, are virtually an exact copy of engineering illustrations currently used. The cable is shown as very heavy, and striated, indicating a bundle of many conductors, rather than a single high voltage cable. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 361)

Mysterious Machinery

This massive piece of machinery was one of six excavated around 1990 from a great depth on secret government property in the United States, then promptly reburied in the same area. The enormous device dwarfs the dumpster and the crane shown to its left. Nobody has been able to definitively identify this mind-boggling machinery. What is even more peculiar is that this mysterious apparatus is covered with what appears to be hieroglyphic writing. Some skeptics have claimed it is nothing more than a large magnet used to produce a strong magnetic field needed for fusion experiments. In my book I point out the many problems with this claim. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 212)

Mystery rock from Earth or alien spaceship? This gigantic boulder with its belly laced like an oversized waffle grill continues to baffle visitors who come to the West Virginia side of Jennings Randolph Lake. There have been numerous theories and speculation as to its origin, ranging from a pictograph made by prehistoric man, an Indian carving, the impression of the skin pattern of a giant lizard, or evidence of a visit to Earth by ancient travelers from outer space. Others, mainly among the professional community, attempt to explain it as a natural geological formation. Is this so-called "waffle rock" a natural geological phenomenon, ready mixed, blended and baked by Mother Nature for the puzzlement of the observer? Or, is the boulder actually evidence of alien technology sometime in our distant past? The precise and consistent "waffle-like" pattern appearance is highly unusual and looks almost artificial or manufactured. Geologists even admit that this type of formation is extremely rare - with possibly only one other known site in existence. It is curious that a rock formation is so unique that it cannot be duplicated by nature anywhere else on our entire planet.

Ancient Aircraft Models

The object on the left was discovered in a tomb at Saqquara, Egypt and later dated as having been built around 200 B.C. The object on the right was one of many found in Central America and coastal areas of South America estimated to belong to a period between 500 and 800 A.D. The similarity to modern day aircraft is unmistakable. In fact scale model replicas have been built and successfully flown proving their aerodynamic capability. However, the important question is: how would ancient Egyptians or those people living in Central and South America know of aerodynamics and aircraft, and what would they need them for? These cultures were continents apart and supposedly unaware of each other, according to mainstream science and history. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 322)

Flying Vimanas

Ancient historical texts are filled with references that describe "flying wheels of fire", "pearls in the sky", and circles of fire". When Alexander the Great invaded India more than 2,000 years ago, he chronicled "flying, fiery shields" appearing in the sky which dove at his army. Ancient Tibetan and Indian texts go into great detail describing these flying machines, including blueprints of their design. The photo on the left is a Vimana vehicle as mentioned in ancient Indian Sanskrit texts from the time of the Rama Empire. This great civilization ended somewhere between 2500 B.C. and 4500 B.C. Some Sanskrit scholars claim that the Rama Empire thrived around 10-15,000 B.C. These Vimanas reportedly even carried weapons on board and were capable of traveling into outer space and underwater. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 326)

Ancient Lathe Stoneware

In the Cairo Museum and in other museums around the world there are examples of stoneware that were found in and around the step pyramid at Saqqarra. They show unmistakable tool marks of a lathe-manufactured item. At least one piece is so flawlessly turned that the entire bowl balances perfectly on a round tipped bottom no larger than the size and shape of the tip of a hen's egg. The only problem with this technology is that it wasn't invented until the 17th century with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution. What happened during the 3,000 years in between? (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 208)

Egyptian Hieroglyphs

Various Egyptian hieroglyphs clearly depict modern day aircraft such as helicopters, dirigibles, and assorted other types of airships and craft. Why were they so familiar with flight and air travel? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 303)

Wall Mural at Kush

This wall mural resides inside a temple in the goldmines of Kush. Notice the rocket standing upright and two figures standing to the right of it. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 303)

The Egyptian hieroglyphic shown in photo on left features two UFOs. This design has also been found in Mexican pottery and stonework. The technical detail in these two UFO shapes is amazing and they have no place in the minds of primitive people working in very crude circumstances. Advanced astronomical, mathematical and geometrical knowledge taught in schools today originated in Egypt. Where did it come from? This particular hieroglyphic definitely establishes that ancient Egyptians were in contact with some kind of flying craft from outside of Earth.

Lolladoff Plate

This plate, called the Lolladoff Plate, is a 12,000 year old stone dish found in Nepal. It clearly shows a disk shaped UFO. There is also a figure on the disk looking remarkably similar to a classic "grey" alien. Notice the spiral galaxy as well, with the alien inside it and the UFO at the beginning of it. It has been suggested that the galaxy spiral could be to tell us that they traveled here from another galaxy, or the spiral shape could signify energy or eternity. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 341)

Dropa Disks

Hundreds of these disks, known as Dropa Disks, were discovered in a man-made cave system in the Himalayan Mountains, on the border between China and Tibet. Inside of the caves were neat rows of tombs with short 4-foot 4-inch skeletons buried within. On the cave walls were carved pictures of the rising sun, moon, stars, the land, mountains, and lines of dots connecting the Earth and sky. Along with the disks, the cave drawings have been determined to be 12,000 years old. When the disks were closely examined in 1958 it was learned that each disk was inscribed with two fine grooves spiraling from the edge to a hole in the disk's center. Each groove consisted of a series of tiny hieroglyphs of unknown pattern and origin. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 296)

Egyptian Ptah-Hotep Relief

This photo is a relief found in the double mastaba of Akhti-Hotep and Ptah-Hotep. It shows servants offering food to Ptah-Hotep. Notice the similarity the figure facing forward has to a classic "grey" alien. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 303)

Fergana Cave Painting

Skeptics point out that creative computer editing could be an explanation for extraterrestrials or flying ships appearing in ancient paintings, such as the one above. However, many paintings have hanged in museums and private collections around the world for hundreds of years, untouched by human hands, therefore not subject to modern computer-generated enhancements. These paintings also show strange disk-shaped objects in the sky - some during famous historical events. The ancient painting shown here was found by a joint Russian/Chinese mission in the caves of Fergana in Uzbekistan. Notice the hovering aircraft in the background along with what appears to be an astronaut underneath it. Estimates of the painting's age range from 2000 B.C. to 7000 B.C. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 301)

Wandjina Petroglyphs

These Wandjina petroglyphs from Kimberley, Australia are about 5,000 years old and many believe are representations of extraterrestrial beings. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 385)

1697 Hamburg UFO Sighting

This picture is from 1697 and shows a UFO sighting over Hamburg, Germany. The two large objects hovering in the sky were described as "two glowing wheels". (EOLAC:CC Pg. 295)

Moses Painting

In this ancient painting Moses is depicted receiving the tablets of the Ten Commandments, with "flaming horns". Several other flaming objects appear in the sky before him. The date and artist are unknown. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 295)

Baptism of Christ Painting

This "Baptism of Christ" painting is from the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England. A disk-shaped object is shining beams of light down on John the Baptist and Jesus. Painted in 1710 by artist Aert De Gelder it depicts a classic, hovering, silvery saucer-shaped UFO. What could have inspired the artist to combine these two subjects? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 295)

The Crucifixion Painting

Frescos throughout Europe reveal the appearance of spaceships in the skies including this painting of "The Crucifixion" painted in 1350. The bottom two photos are enlargements of the top paintings upper left and upper right sections. It depicts a small human figure looking over his shoulder at another UFO - as if in pursuit - as he flies across the sky in what is clearly a spaceship. The leading aircraft is decorated with two stars, reminiscent of national insignia on modern day aircraft. This painting hangs above the altar at the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 295)

Madonna and Child Painting

A 14th century fresco of the Madonna and child depicts, on the top right side just over her shoulder, the image of a UFO hovering in the distance. A blow up of the section with a man looking to the sky reveals amazing details including some windows or portholes visible in the UFO. It seems to indicate a religious involvement between UFOs and the appearance of the Christ Child. This painting is called "The Madonna with Saint Giovannino". It was painted in the 15th century by Domenico Ghirlandaio and hangs as part of the Loeser collection in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 296)

The Annunciation Painting

Painting on the left is from circa 1490 by an unknown artist. Several saucer-shaped UFOs (or clouds depending on your perspective) hover in the background along with groups of angels. Are we to infer from this that certain historical events where UFOs appear should be interpreted as holy or divine? Painting on the right is from 1486 and was done by Carlo Crivelli. It is called "The Annunciation with Saint Emidius" and hangs in the National Gallery in London, England. A disk-shaped object is shining a narrow beam of light down into Mary's crown chakra. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 296)

The top image on the left is of a lithograph residing in the Library of Congress archives. It was created in 1866 depicting George Washington as a Free Mason. What is striking about this painting is not the Masonic symbols, but rather the curious disc-shaped object located in the upper left inner-arch just above Washington's right shoulder. It seems to be shown with a Jacob's Ladder (a ladder to heaven as described in the Book of Genesis) rising up toward the strange object. The bottom image on left is a higher resolution enlargement which makes the object's shape and intention of the artist more obvious.

Kiev Figure from 4,000 B.C.

Mexican Petroglyph

Picture on left is a strange-suited figure from Kiev, Ukraine that dates to 4,000 B.C. Picture on right is a 7,000 year old petroglyph discovered in the province of Queretaro, Mexico. There are four figures with outstretched arms beneath a large oval-shaped object with windows that is radiating what appear to be beams of light. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 295)

Sumerian Drawing

The first known civilization, the Sumerians, lived over 8,000 years ago. The little that we know of them was left behind on rocks. One of the most interesting and perplexing things they left behind was this image on an ancient cylinder. A perfect depiction of our heliocentric Solar System, with the Moon included is shown (the Sumerians considered the Moon a planet). Pluto and Charon are even depicted as a tiny pair. We only discovered Pluto in 1930, and in 2005 that it and Charon are a double planet. The most interesting part of this picture is the twelfth body way out in the distance to the right. This would be Sedna. Discovered in 2003, it easily could have been right around the area depicted in the Sumerian star map over 8,000 years ago. This proves that the first known civilization on Earth, the Sumerians, had knowledge that was just as advanced as our current knowledge, if not greater. The obvious question this prompts is: how did the Sumerians obtain such advanced astronomical knowledge? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 191)

Tiwanaku

Conventional science and history have taught us that the oldest known civilization is the Sumerian. However, the ancient city of Tiwanaku located in Bolivia originally sat on a plain a few feet above sea level, and now is more than 13,000 feet above sea level. Tiwanaku is therefore older than the surrounding mountains which are 12,500 years old. After 50 years of study using mapping calculations and astronomical measurements archaeologist Professor A. Posnansky dated it back to possibly 15,000 B.C., making it the oldest known city in antiquity. How could a civilization that old have advanced knowledge of machining granite to modern-day precision tolerances? How could it have had the knowledge to transport blocks of stone weighing up to 800 tons to a mountain top 13,000 feet high? Modern history tells us that only hunter-gatherers were roaming the countryside at this time. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 138)

Puma Punku (4 photos on left) truly startles the imagination. It is part of a large temple complex or monument group that is part of the Tiwanaku site. It is situated near the southeastern shore of Lake Titicaca, and sits on a plateau of the Andes 12,600 feet high. One of the construction blocks weighs an estimated 450 tons (equal to nearly 600 full-size cars) and several other blocks lying about are between 100 and 150 tons. The quarry for these giant blocks was on the western shore of Lake Titicaca, some 10 miles away. But the real mystery lies in how Puma Punku was built. How were these blocks brought to a plateau over 12,000 feet high? There is no known technology in the entire ancient world that could have transported stones of such massive weight and size. The Andean people of 500 A.D., with their simple boats made of reeds, could certainly not have moved them. Even today, with all the modern advances in engineering and mathematics, we could not fashion such a structure. How were these incredibly large stones moved and what was their purpose? The dating of this site is considered so controversial, even impossible, that it has been ignored and censured by the scientific community for 50 years. At first glance Puma Punku doesn't look impressive - a hill as remains of an old decayed pyramid and a large number of megalithic blocks of stone on the ground, evidently smashed by a devastating earthquake. However, closer inspection indicates that these blocks have been fabricated using a very advanced technology. Cuts extending several feet in length that are laser-like in straightness; perfect 90-degree angles; deep machined pockets; joints so tight that a credit card wouldn't fit into them. Even more surprising is the technical design of these blocks as shown in these photos. All blocks fit together with an amazing level of precision. (ROTP:SMAM Pg. 143)

Göbekli Tepe

Göbekli Tepe is a hilltop sanctuary built on the highest point of a mountain ridge 10 miles northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa (Urfa) in southeastern Turkey. The site has been carbon dated to being at least 12,000 and possibly even 13,000 years old. That means it was built around 10,000 B.C. By comparison, Stonehenge was built in 3000 B.C. and the pyramids of Giza supposedly in 2500 B.C. Göbekli Tepe is the oldest man-made place of worship yet discovered. It is so old that it predates settled human life. It is pre-pottery, pre-writing, pre-everything. Göbekli Tepe hails from a part of human history that is unimaginably distant, right back in our hunter-gatherer past. It may very well be the oldest, most advanced site on Earth. It is almost 7,000 years older than Mesopotamia's Fertile Crescent, which is long believed to be the cradle of civilization. Perfect stone circles created from huge sculpted columns - 19 feet high and 15 tons per column. It has taken archaeologists 13 years to uncover just 5 percent of this civilization. Over this time not a single cutting tool or agricultural implement has been found. These megaliths just appear out of the darkness of the last Ice Age fully developed at a time when humans were only one step beyond the cave dweller stage. This proves that there were ancient civilizations possessing astounding sophistication at incredibly early periods in time. According to biblical tradition the world began around 4000 B.C. The foundation of Göbekli Tepe is 8,000 years before that. Clearly this contradicts our normal understanding of the evolution of civilization. Many of the animals carved into these gigantic monuments aren't native to this region of the world. What does this collection of animal and human forms represent? Göbekli Tepe is located only 350 miles from Mount Ararat, which many biblical scholars believe is the resting place of Noah's Ark. The animal carvings point to a time in the region's history when the indigenous animal population may have been of a totally different origin. But do these carvings provide proof of the Great Flood as described in the Bible? Do these stone columns contain the story of such a flood? If this is true then it would push back the date of the Great Flood to the end of the last Ice Age - far earlier than the biblical period. So who built Göbekli Tepe and for what purpose? Interestingly enough the reason for this ancient site being so well preserved is because it was buried under sand, purposely. Rather than destroying the monuments they were deliberately and strategically hidden under 20 feet of sand. But for what reason - to hide it from invaders or to preserve it for future use? (MO:THSR Pgs. 252, 355)

Sacsayhuamán

The ancient Inca established their capital city at Cuzco, Peru. Located at an elevation of 12,000 feet near Cuzco lies Sacsayhuamán. This immense fortress was constructed using massive stone blocks (photos on left). Nobody knows exactly who built Sacsayhuamán or how. Sacsayhuamán can be admired for the remarkable architectural engineering skills that were required in its creation. The Incas told the Spaniards that they weren't the ones who built Sacsayhuamán, but "the giants". In their mythology there were huge people living in the Cuzco area who carried the stone blocks and put them together. Many stones weigh over 50 tons and the largest weighs over 120 tons. How is it possible to move and position such large stones at such a high altitude? Modern day cranes couldn't reach these remote mountain regions. There are signs of thermal heat or energy being used on these rocks leading some to suspect that they may have been melted of liquefied allowing them to be easily manipulated. There was no mortar used in the construction. The blocks are so precisely assembled, like a jigsaw puzzle, that a credit card can't even be inserted between them. (MO:THSR Pg. 190)

Located 9,000 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains is the ancient city of Ollantaytambo, Peru. Once serving as both a temple and fortress, mainstream historians claim Ollantaytambo was built around 1440 A.D. by the Inca. However, some scholars believe Ollantaytambo was built upon the ruins of a far older city - one whose origins remain unknown. The earliest parts of Ollantaytambo are possibly 10,000 years old, if not older. But how could the earliest humans on Earth have produced such astonishing stonework with massive interlocking blocks precisely fitted together? How could they have constructed aqueducts and irrigation systems that still function today, or have moved and set colossal stones of granite each weighing more than 50 tons? Some of these massive stones were transported from another mountain, across a plain and river, and then up the mountain where they rest today. How were the ancient builders able to not only cut the stones with such high precision but also to move them up a mountain? Six of the giant slabs (top photo on left) on the site made of red granite were precisely fitted together in interlocking patterns in order to withstand the effects of earthquakes. The ability to move and perfectly fit stones weighing many tons so that a single human hair cannot fit between them is not a question of sweat and muscle, but rather a question of technology. And stranger still is the means by which the mammoth boulders are bonded in place, as if fused together by an unknown form of energy.

Teotihuacan is located 35 miles northeast of Mexico City. Established around 100 B.C., Teotihuacan was one of the largest cities in the ancient world with over 150,000 inhabitants at its peak. According to researches the advanced design of Teotihuacan suggests that its ancient builders had knowledge not only of architecture but of complex mathematical and astronomical sciences. There are numerous similarities to the great pyramids of Egypt. The same mathematics has been incorporated at both locations. The Khufu pyramid at Giza and the Sun Pyramid of Teotihuacan have the same size base. The Sun Pyramid of Teotihuacan is exactly half the height of Khufu's pyramid. Teotihuacan is built to a purposeful, specific layout. The Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Moon, and Temple of Quetzalpapalotl are in the same layout as the stars in Orion's Belt, which is the same formation as the three pyramids at Giza. (EOLAC:CC Pgs. 321,371)

At the vast Karnak temple complex in Luxor, Egypt is evidence of machine technology. For centuries archaeologists and scholars have considered Karnak to be one of the most dramatic examples of the remarkable technological ability of early man. The hieroglyphics carved into the pillars and obelisks is clearly of an unmatched perfection. Experts believe the most impressive evidence of advanced machining can be found on Karnak's tall four-sided tapering monuments called obelisks. The obelisk is carved with the same inscription on all four sides, and each side is exactly the same - a mirror image. There are slots .140 inches wide and .50 inches deep that could only have been made using a rotating tool. The human hand is not capable of such precision carving. The tool marks and rotating impressions are still evident on the red granite surface. The tool kit that we see in museums, which the ancient Egyptians were supposed to have used, could not have been used to produce the results seen at Karnak.

Scholars believe the early inhabitants of Malta migrated from the nearby island of Sicily in 5200 B.C. Today stone structures on the Maltese island of Gozo are considered by archaeologists to be among the greatest achievements made by ancient builders anywhere in the world. The temples on Malta and Gozo are more than a thousand years older than the pyramids of Egypt. They are the earliest monumental architecture in the world. There are engineering features built into these temples that are astonishing. Walls enclosing space, and paved walkways that had ceilings at one time, were among the most complex features found anywhere on Earth at the time. Built before metal tools or the invention of the wheel, experts are baffled by the scale of the construction and the use of vertically arranged monolithic stones, each weighing 20 tons. Some of these stones have been shaped to optical accuracy greater than what is achievable today. Further evidence of ancient technology can be found underground. In 1902 construction workers accidentally uncovered a mysterious underground sanctuary dating to 2500 B.C. Called the Hypogeum (photo on left) the subterranean structure was revealed to be three levels deep - all hewn from solid stone. It is estimated that the builders removed more than 2,000 tons of stone from the subterranean chambers to create a space that replicates the temples above ground. One of the greatest mysteries concerning the Hypogeum involves the acoustical properties in what is called the Oracle Room. A person's voice in the Oracle Room can be heard to carry throughout the entire complex with little variation. What was the reason for building this room, and where did they obtain this amazing acoustic technology? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 379)

Carnac Stones

Carnac is located on the south coast of Brittany in northwestern France and is most famous for the Carnac stones (photos on left). This stone formation consists of a collection of 3,000 massive rocks arranged in rows, straight circles, squares and rectangles spreading across more than two miles of French countryside. Why would people spend so much time and effort in creating this? Archaeologists expect us to believe that humans one step removed from cavemen were quarrying these stones 100-350 tons in weight and then maneuvering them into precise alignment position. Some researchers believe that the stones are magnetically charged. According to the World Energy Grid Theory some areas on Earth are more magnetically charged than others and Carnac is one such geo-magnetic location that is harnessing the energy. If so where did these ancient people (4500 B.C.) get their knowledge from? The alignment of some of these stones represents mathematical formulas such as the Pythagorean Theorem. But how could these builders know of a theory 2,000 years before its discovery? These stones could have been transmitting energy that was detectable by travelers from the air (much like a modern day GPS system) and they were able to use it to navigate the entire planet. The formation and true impact of Carnac is only meaningful when viewed from the air. But why was it meant to be seen from the sky? Who was flying in 4500 B.C.? Carnac is only one of three ancient global sites that can be seen from outer space along with the Nazca Lines of Peru and the Great Wall of China.

In the mountains of present day Armenia the first astronomical observatory Karahundj was built (photos on left). Mainstream archaeology cannot agree on who the builders were or who lived there. Also known as Armenia's Stonehenge, Karahundj is 7,500 years old making it 5,000 years older than the Great Pyramid of Egypt, 3,500 years older than England's Stonehenge, and 3,000 years older than Carnac in France. It may prove what some people already suspect - that Armenia is the true cradle of civilization. Located on a territory of 7 hectares, 223 huge vertical stones stand on a hilltop, 84 of them with holes drilled through them (bottom photo). This hole was used for viewing the sky and stars. Karahundj is commonly assumed to be an early observatory, evidence of ancient astronomical culture in Armenia. These stones have been attributed with mystical and cosmic powers. Armenian scientists in ancient times were capable of accurately measuring latitude, knew that the Earth was round, and had an accurate calendar. But how was all this possible 7,500 years ago? It is also believed that there was an astronomical relationship between the alignment of these stones and the constellation Cygnus.

Baalbeck is a city in eastern Lebanon famous mainly for its magnificent, well preserved Roman temple ruins. It was a flourishing Phoenician town when the Greeks occupied it in 331 B.C. They renamed it Heliopolis (City of the Sun). It became a Roman colony under the Emperor Augustus in 16 B.C. On its acropolis, over the course of the next three centuries, the Romans constructed a monumental ensemble of three temples, three courtyards, and an enclosing wall built from some of the most gigantic stones ever crafted by man. At the southern entrance of Baalbeck is a quarry where the stones used in the temples were cut. A huge block, considered the largest hewn stone in the world, still sits where it was cut almost 2,000 years ago. Called the "Stone of the Pregnant Woman" (top photo on left), it is 71 feet x 16 feet x 14 feet in size and weighs more than 1,000 tons. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 116)

The mysterious undersea pyramid structure of Yonaguni, off the coast of Japan causes controversy. Is this a natural geological feature or a man-made structure which changes the history books as we know them? In 1986 a diver near the island of Yonaguni Jima, off the southern tip of Japan came across some unusual rock formations 82 feet below sea level. They appeared to be stepped structures with terraces and ramps. One of the largest pyramid structures is 600 feet wide and 90 feet high - containing five separate levels of stone blocks with what appears to be a road surrounding the structure. Tool marks and carvings have been discovered (and documented) upon the stones which indicate that they were constructed rather than being natural stone formations. Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist from Japan's Ryukyus University, has been studying and mapping the site for almost 20 years. He believes that the site is over 5,000 years old - and was sunk during an earthquake 2,000 years ago. Others have estimated that the structure is far older, including Teruaki Ishii, professor of geology at Tokyo University. Ishii determined that the submergence occurred at the end of the last ice age - which was around 10,000 years ago. This would make it over twice as old as the pyramids in Egypt. If this is the case then our history books would have to be revised to take into account an advanced Eastern civilization, more advance than any early Western civilization. It is interesting to note that a number of tools have been discovered both on land and in the sea around the structure. Close to the pyramid structure, what is thought to be the carving of a human head has been found (several feet tall), along with numerous unknown hieroglyphs. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 374)

Researchers revealed in December 2009 the first images from the Caribbean Sea floor of what they claim are the archaeological remains of an ancient civilization. Guarding the location's coordinates carefully they believe the city could be thousands of years old - possibly even pre-dating the ancient Egyptian pyramids at Giza. The site was found using advanced satellite imagery and is not in any way associated with the alleged site found by Russian explorers near Cuba in 2001 at a depth of 2,300 feet. This site is much shallower. What has been found appears to be a tall, narrow pyramid; large platform structures with small buildings on them; standing parallel post and beam construction in the rubble of what appears to be a fallen building. There cannot be a post and beam without human involvement. (MO:THSR Pg. 62)

Nazca Lines

The Nazca Lines are a series of geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in Peru. They are believed to have been created between 200 B.C. and 700 A.D. Similar geoglyphs can be found throughout the world. They are noteworthy because they cannot be recognized as coherent figures except from the air, suggesting that they may have been built by a civilization having flying knowledge or capability. Why else would a culture go to such great lengths in creating these massive drawings? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 334)

Most people know about the famous Nazca Lines. However, another less known unexplained mystery in Peru is located near Pisco Valley on a plain called Cajamarquilla. Thousands of man-sized holes are carved into the barren rock. These strange holes, stretching for a mile over uneven mountainous terrain, have been there for so long that the local people have no idea who made them, or why. And no one really was aware of them until the area was seen from the air. Archaeologists have speculated these holes were dug to store grain in. The problem with this theory is that there were many easier ways to create storage containers than the hard work and decades it must have taken to chip out all of these. It would have made more sense, assuming these were intended to store grain, to build several huge chambers. Any evidence of grain in them now would have been from subsequent generations who stumbled upon them and found they were convenient to use for grain storage. This wouldn't have been their original purpose by whoever built them. Another claim by archaeologists is that they might have been used as one-person tombs - vertical graves of some sort. But no bones, artifacts, scraps, inscriptions, jewelry and not even a tooth or strand of hair has been found in them. They have no covers to seal them as you might a tomb and no sacred history or even myth was passed down to label them as such. Some sections have holes in rigid and perfect precision. Some run in rows that curve up in arches, some in staggered lines. They vary in depth to about 6-7 feet yet some are merely shallow indents as if not completed - though surrounded by those that are. To this day no one has a clue what purpose these holes served, or who made them.

The Palpa Lines (photos on left) are less well known than the famous Nazca Lines, but are in many ways significantly more intriguing. There are numerous mountains with flattened tops, perfectly straight lines running across mountains and valleys as well as drawings and images similar to those found at Nazca. Were it not for the uneven surfaces, these "strips" may very well have been landing strips. Could these lines have been created by some kind of airborne machine? Archaeologists estimate that these figures and lines scraped into the hills of Peru's southern coastal desert predate the country's Nazca Lines. The drawings and lines are believed to have been created by members of the Paracas Culture sometime between 600 B.C. and 300 A.D. Another question raised by the Palpa Lines is that since they are located more frequently on hilltops and ridge tops, to what extent did the builders reshape the ridges to create the orientation and smoothness of the surfaces for their designs, and what equipment could possibly have been used in 600 B.C.? Much like the more famous Nazca Lines these lines cannot be recognized as coherent figures except from the air. (MO:THSR Pg. 277)

Global Pyramid Construction

A wealth of thousands of ancient pyramids strategically situated around the world, and similarity in construction technique and physical appearance, is obvious proof that there must have been some common link between these civilizations. This knowledge must have been transferred and communicated from continent to continent, country to country somehow. At least twelve "Great" pyramids are now on record in six major regions of the world. Pyramids even exist on remote Pacific islands. Even without considering other data it is all but impossible to avoid the conclusion that this is clear evidence of diffusionism and global technological development unmatched to this day. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 370)

The Great Pyramid at Giza demonstrates a remarkable uniqueness in its placement on the face of the Earth. The Pyramid lies in the center of gravity of all the continents. It also lies in the exact center of all the land area of the world, dividing the Earth's land mass into approximately equal quarters. The north-south axis (31 degrees east of Greenwich) is the longest land meridian, and the east-west axis (30 degrees north) is the longest land parallel on the globe. There is obviously only one place that these longest land-lines of the terrestrial Earth can cross, and it is at the Great Pyramid! This is incredible, one of the scores of features of this mighty structure that begs for an explanation. Is the location of the Great Pyramid on Earth simply a coincidence? The image on left is The Plate XX from an original 1877 copy of Piazzi Smyth's Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid. Charles Piazzi Smyth (1819-1900) was Astronomer Royal for Scotland and a highly respected scientist.

Detailed studies of the geographic alignment of famous ancient world sites have been conducted. According to the research the Great Pyramid (Giza) is aligned with Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines and Easter Island along a straight line around the center of the Earth, within a margin of error of less than one tenth of one degree of latitude. Other sites of ancient construction that are also within one tenth of one degree within this line include Persepolis, the capital city of ancient Persia; Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of the Indus Valley; and the lost city of Petra. The ancient Sumerian city of Ur and the temples at Angkor Wat are within one degree of latitude of this line. The alignment of these sites is easily observable on a globe of the Earth using a horizon ring (top image on left). Giza, Siwa, Tassili n'Ajjer, Paratoari, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, Nazca, Easter Island, Aneityum Island, Preah Vihear, Sukhothai, Pyay, Khajuraho, Mohenjo Daro, Persepolis, Ur, and Petra are shown clockwise from Giza on the equal azimuthal projection. This projection is centered on the axis point located in southeastern Alaska. Distances to any location from the center of an equal azimuthal projection are equally scaled. Since all of the sites on the circle alignment are equally distant from the axis point at one quarter of the circumference of the Earth, the alignment forms a perfect circle halfway between the center and the outer edge of the projection. Critics of this "global alignment theory" claim that this is simply "cherry picking" ancient sites. However, it should be noted that this particular relationship between these particular sites is only one example of geographic alignment and is used strictly to illustrate the fact that an ancient sacred geometry existed on Earth. Similar relationships exist (not exactly the same as the one described above) between other ancient world sites. These include their location and positioning in respect to the planetary grid system. There is a definite, established relationship between almost every ancient Earth site on the planetary grid. Regardless of the ancient world site the fact that an alignment to some mathematical constant even exists is remarkable enough in itself. This could only have been achieved through an advanced knowledge of mathematics, geography, astronomy and with access to an aerial reconnaissance of the Earth many thousands of years ago.

Ley Lines are alignments of ancient sites or holy places, such as stone circles, standing stones, churches, ancient monuments and megaliths stretching across the landscape. Ancient sites or holy places may be arranged in a straight line ranging from one or two to several miles in length. Simply an aligned placing of marker sites may identify a Ley, or it might be visible from the ground or air for all or part of its length by the remnants of an old straight track. The existence of alignments between sites is easily demonstrated. The Ley Lines and their intersection points are believed by some researchers to resonate extraordinary psychic or mystical energy. This belief assumes that points on lines have electrical or magnetic forces associated with them. Throughout England and Europe the most famous Ley Line sites are Stonehenge, Avebury, Glastonbury, Silbury, Carnac and other megalithic sites of unknown origin and purpose. Other ancient Ley Line sites around the world include Easter Island, Nazca, Ollantaytambo, Paratoari, Tassili n'Ajjer, Petra, Persepolis, Khajuraho, Pyay, Sukothai, Anatom Island, Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Bimini, Luxor, The Valley of the Kings, Mecca, Tazumal, Jerusalem, Xian, Taupo, Constantinople, in the Indus Valley Mohenjo Daro and Ganweriwala, the ancient Sumerian city of Ur, and Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia and Thailand, and the Angkor temple at Preah Vihear. The husband-and-wife team of Becker and Hagens developed a map detailing grid line alignment throughout the world (top image on left). Becker is a Professor of Industrial Design at the University of Illinois and Bethe Hagens is a Professor of Anthropology at Governors State University. It is immediately apparent from this map that the grid controls the positioning of continental landmass on Earth. Planetary energy grid theory operates through geometrical patterns that follow a specific symmetry linked to sacred geometry. Sacred geometry involves universal patterns used in the design of everything in our reality, most often seen in sacred architecture and sacred art. The basic belief is that geometry and mathematical ratios, harmonics and proportion are also found in music, light and cosmology. This system is considered foundational to building sacred structures such as temples, mosques, megaliths, monuments and churches. The grids meet at various intersecting points forming a grid or matrix. This is equivalent to the acupressure points on our bodies. These grid points can be found at some of the strongest power places on the planet. A few of these Ley Lines could be dismissed as a mere coincidence. However, what we are dealing with is literally hundreds of ancient sites throughout the world somehow mathematically aligned in a logical and deliberate sequence. The magnitude of their numbers and precision alignment can only lead to one conclusion - a relationship established in ancient times. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 133)

Prehistoric Mammoths

This is the famous Berezovka mammoth. It was found frozen in Siberia in 1901. There are many unusual characteristics regarding this mammoth, along with thousands of other prehistoric animals. Some of the enigmas surrounding these creatures include: carcasses and skeletons were found flash-frozen in a standing position; some of the woolly mammoths and woolly rhinos suffocated; millions of animals were entombed in rock-hard permafrost; partially preserved vegetation was found not only undigested in the stomach but also on the lips and between the teeth indicating their last meal. All of this points to an incredibly rapid freezing of the Earth - literally in seconds - not even allowing the animals to fully digest their meal. What unimaginable force of nature could have caused such an event? (EOLAC:CC Pg. 388)

Fused Green Glass

In various parts of the world such as the Euphrates Valley, the Sahara and Gobi deserts, Iraq, Scotland, Egypt and Turkey traces of this fused green glass have been found many feet below the Earth. In the Euphrates Valley the glass was discovered below archaeological remains that were known to be at least 8,000 years old, providing some indication as to the period when it was created. How did this strange green glass get there and what is it exactly? According to geologists subjecting sand and rock to exceptionally high temperatures causes this phenomenon. Experts estimate that it would take a fireball with temperatures in excess of 1800 degrees Celsius to turn sand and rock into molten lava that would then become glass when it cooled. The fact that the phenomena is so widespread across the globe either suggests (a) multiple and simultaneous meteorite strikes or (b) that there was a global nuclear war sometime in our ancient past. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 364)

Ancient Sundaland

Anyone who inspects a map of the oceanic bottoms in the region of Indonesia such as the Ice Age Map of Indonesia shown here will readily concede that the South China Sea encircled by Indonesia indeed formed a continent-sized land mass during the last glaciation, which ended some 11,600 years ago. This map clearly shows the sunken continent of Sundaland in Indonesia. The map leaves no room for doubt about the reality of what we are affirming concerning Lemuria, Mu and Atlantis. It should be noted that this map – in contrast to most others presenting proposed sites for Mu, and/or Lemuria and/or Atlantis – is purely scientific, rather than a creation of someone’s imagination. It is based on the detailed geophysical reconstruction of the sea bottoms in the region in question, and portrays the areas of depth under 330 feet, which were obviously exposed during the Ice Age, when sea levels dropped by that amount and even more. The map shows a huge extension – of continental size – prolonged Southeast Asia all the way down to Australia. This continental-sized land was about two or three times larger than continental-sized India. It was also far larger than Australia. (MO:THSR Pgs. 306-307)

Carolina bays

LIDAR elevation image of 300 square miles of Carolina bays in Robeson County, N.C. Carolina bays are elliptical landform depressions concentrated along the Atlantic seaboard within coastal Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, north-central Florida, and northern Gulf of Mexico (photo on left). They vary in size from one to several thousand acres. About 500,000 of them exist in the classic area of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, often in groups with each bay invariably aligned in a northwest-southeast direction. Interestingly enough the creation date of the Carolina bays (12,900 years ago) coincides with the arrival by boat of travelers from the east in Mayan history, according to famed psychic and sleeping prophet Edgar Cayce. These travelers could have been fleeing the destruction of Atlantis by the comet. (MO:THSR Pg. 253)

Electromagnetic Spectrum

One reason (that is largely ignored) for the lack of abundant ancient evidence is because much of it was never (and currently is not) visible to the human eye. Only a small percentage of what transpires in our universe can be observed through the visible light spectrum (Electromagnetic Spectrum chart on left). Objects appearing or events occurring in the high-end of the electromagnetic spectrum (Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma-rays) beyond the capability of human sight cannot be witnessed. Ancient civilizations with the ability of such advanced technology would leave us little in the way of physical evidence. Quantum Theory has proven that speeds and events occurring outside the capability of human vision are definitely possible, and are taking place at this time in our universe (formation of back holes, galaxies). NASA is even aware of this and uses special cameras for filming these events in Earth orbit aboard the space shuttles. Therefore, assuming that this technology was available in ancient times, the possibility of no remaining physical evidence being available is perfectly understandable. (EOLAC:CC Pg. 233)
