Ancient Carvings of Advanced Technology

Into the ancient astronaut theorists?  I think most of them are hucksters making money off crazy theories.  However, I do believe that mankind has started small, grown to great cities and technologies, and then been wiped out many times, just like Hindus and the Bible teach.  Are these ancient astronauts?  Or, are they prior civilizations of man, or man-like creatures?  I think the latter.  In any case, there are too many weird ancient carvings to simply dismiss the possibilities out of hand.  Enjoy!

The search for clues to humanity’s creation is often linked to ancient astronauts who came here in flying vehicles throughout Earth’s history, leaving behind clues to their encounters with humans. Pictographs and megalithic monuments throughout the planet describe human interaction with ancient astronauts, allowing those in our timeline to piece together what happened in the past that shapes out destiny today. UFOs in History – Art

Mesopotamia — The Hakatha (Laws of the Babylonians) states:

    “The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from ‘those from upon high’. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives.”

Chaldea “The Sifrala” contains over one hundred pages of technical details on building a flying machine. It contains words which translate as graphite rod, copper coils, crystal indicator, vibrating spheres, stable angles, etc.

Alexander the Great purportedly gave a description of “dozens of silver disk-like objects” entering and leaving the Jaxartes River in 337 BC. Alexander, so the story goes, then became obsessed with the craft and spent many hours in a primitive diving bell searching for them. (Source: History Channel “Unidentified Submarine Objects”)

Some modern UFO enthusiasts have pointed to ancient aircraft as evidence for advanced technological civilizations in the distant past, or as support for the ancient astronaut theory.

King Pakal of Palenque

Did King Pakal fly off in a spaceship after he died? Ancient Astronaut Theory speaks of this depiction on Pakal’s sarcophagus lid as preparing for space flight. He sits on a chair, his foot on a pedal, his hands manipulating the controls, and his nose is a breathing apparatus. Pakal is seen as a Maize God falling into the open mouth of death, an image conflated with the glyph for a Black Hole. A World Tree emerges from his stomach indicating Earth’s renewal through Pakal’s death. Then again it could mean so many other things.


Vimanas – Ancient Aircraft of India

Vimana is a word with several meanings ranging from temple or palace to mythological flying machine described in Sanskrit epics. References to these flying machines are commonplace in ancient Indian texts, including descriptions of their use in warfare. As well as being able to fly within Earth’s atmosphere, vimanas were also said to be able to travel into space and under water.

Archaeologist claims evidence of Noah’s biblical flood

Archaeologist claims evidence of Noah’s biblical flood

Published December 12, 2012 FoxNews.com

First he found the Titanic — will he find the only ship more famous?

Robert Ballard, the underwater archaeologist famed for discovering the wreck of the Titanic in 1985, claims to have found evidence of the biblical flood that Noah fled, surfing the waters for 40 days and 40 nights, according to Genesis. He says the Black Sea was once merely a freshwater lake — until an enormous wall of water from the Mediterranean 200 times more powerful than Niagara Falls swept it and everything else away. Including Noah and his ark.

“We went in there to look for the flood,” Ballard told ABC News. “Not just a slow moving, advancing rise of sea level, but a really big flood that then stayed … the land that went under stayed under.”

‘The questions is, was there a mother of all floods?’

– Archaeologist Robert Ballard

The archaeologist’s team is studying the Black Sea off the coast of Turkey in search of a civilization lost since biblical times, ABC reported, following up on a controversial theory from two Columbia University scientists. They connect the end of an Ice Age, when frozen sheets covered North America and stretched to the North Pole.

When they melted, yielding the more familiar Earth’s surface of today, what happened to the water?

“The questions is, was there a mother of all floods,” Ballard asked.

Through carbon dating of shells found on an ancient shoreline 400 feet beneath the surface of the Black Sea, they have established a timeline for that catastrophic event that happened around 5,000 B.C., he estimated. Some experts believe this was around the time when Noah’s flood could have occurred, ABC said.

Some archaeologists have supported the story of Noah, citing similar details passed along in narratives from Mesopotamian times, notably “the Epic of Gigamesh.”

“The earlier Mesopotamian stories are very similar where the gods are sending a flood to wipe out humans,” said biblical archaeologist Eric Cline. “There’s one man they choose to survive. He builds a boat and brings on animals and lands on a mountain and lives happily ever after? I would argue that it’s the same story.”

Ballard says his team has found not just the shore and the shells, but pottery and even shipwrecks, evidence, he says, that the theory is correct. Nevertheless, the archaeologist doubts that Noah’s Ark itself will ever turn up.

“It’s foolish to think you will ever find a ship,” Ballard told ABC News, referring to the Ark. “But can you find people who were living? Can you find their villages that are underwater now? And the answer is yes.”

Film Buff?

My close friend, Hal Astell runs a blog on films.  From the obvious to the obscure.  I first met him at the DarkCon Conference in Tempe, Arizona last year, and have since become good friends with him and his lovely bride Dee.  After one of my book signings, we talked for hours about films at a depth I have rarely encountered.  I honestly have to admit he knows films and movies better than I do.  Here is his site if you are interested:

A Day That Will Live in Infamy

Today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day, when America was attacked by surprise by the Japanese, bringing us completely into World War 2.  A week later, Hitler declared war on America to back up his Axis partners.  That day, Churchill said he would get his first night’s sleep in ages, because he knew with America in the war on his side, they would eventually win.

I was in the United States Air Force from 1984 to 1990, active duty until 1989.  I worked at Hickam Air Force Base in Hangar 11.  I was with the 15th Air Base Wing as an Avionics Guidance Control Systems Specialist.  Every day, I saw the markings on the wall from the Japanese attack, and one day, while searching the roof for leaks, found more bomb damage that had to be repaired, along with memorabilia that is now in the museum.

Let us never forget, peace if fleeting, evil is ever present, and our military are the ones who pay the price to keep us free.

I will show you what Hangar 11 looked like then and now:

Hangar 11 then.

Gangnam Singer Advocated Killing Americans

Psy’s Anti-American Song: ‘Gangnam Style’ Star Rapped About Killing, Torturing Soldiers

Posted on Dec 7th 2012 2:09PM by Maggie Malach

In the past few months, Psy has become a household name associated with a light-hearted gallop-style dance. The South Korean pop star’s “Gangnam Style” video has reached more than 900 million views, earning him someserious bank.

Many of the people singing (and “Gangnam Style”-dancing) his praises are American, including Madonna, Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. Unfortunately, it appears the love was not always reciprocal.

New York Magazine reports that during a 2004 protest attacking the U.S. presence in Iraq in the wake of the beheading of a Korean missionary, Psy was featured in a song called “Dear American.” The group N.E.X.T. performed it, but Psy rapped some pretty controversial lines encouraging the killing of American soldiers and their families in retaliation.

The following are the lyrics he rapped in “Dear American:”

Kill those f–king Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives
Kill those f–king Yankees who ordered them to torture
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers
Kill them all slowly and painfully.

As of now, the “Gangnam Style” dancer is still set to perform in front of President Obama at the National Building Museum’s Christmas in Washington concert on Dec. 9.
