Are Ancient Ruins in India Atlantean Outposts?

Following, please find an excerpt from a very long, but fascinating article that basically says that there is evidence of an amazing ancient civilization in India, for the most part ignored in favor of ancient Egypt, that predates “The Flood” so most of the evidence of its civilization was destroyed by the cataclysm and that this Vedic civilization could represent a remnant from Atlantis.

Have you read this before? The extent of the earth upheavals around 10,000 B.C.?

Geologists, both mainstream and alternative, agree that the evidence is overwhelming that there was a massive global catastrophe in around 10,000 BC that ended the last Ice Age and altered the face of the planet in almost every way. For the people alive at that time it must have been an experience we can’t imagine. The sea levels rising 300 feet in a week, submerging all beaches and coastal lands, torrential rainstorms measuring in feet instead of inches, worldwide hurricanes, supervolcanic eruptions turning the sky black and blotting out the sun for months. A waterfall as wide as the Bosphorous Strait filling up the Black Sea like a bathtub. The human survivors of this cataclysm would never ever have forgotten it and would most certainly have told their children and grandchildren about it; and those subsequent generations would have passed on the story to their own descendants. This memory endured to the present day to become these folk-legends of the Great Flood etc.

IS VEDIC CIVILIZATION THE REMNANTS OF THE LEGENDARY ATLANTIS

What do you think? Could ancient civilizations in India be remnants of the civilization of Atlantis?

Intriguing Theories on Earth’s Axial Tilt and Atlantis

Here is an abstract previewing a very interesting article theorizing a huge impact off the coast of Antarctic as the cause of the sinking of Atlantis and the tilt of the earth’s axis.

It does remind me of another theory I read about, I think in one of Graham Hancock’s books, that Antarctica is actually Atlantis and that when the earth’s crust moved during a physical pole shift (not magnetic as has happened so many times in the past) that Atlantis ended up at the South Pole and froze over. He gives this explanation for the Piri Reis map showing contours of Antarctica which is presently under a mile-deep ice sheet.

Abstract: Using Google Earth and browsing the geographic appearance of the Earth’s crust starting from the South Pacific Ocean right above Antarctica and traveling over to Drake’s Passage and into the South Atlantic Ocean there seems to be a visual trace that some sort of cosmic collision occurred in that area. (See Figure 1) The impact of the object surfed across the ocean and collided with the bottom of South America where it once connected to Antarctica creating Drake’s Passage opening. This impact also may have had the kinetic energy to break the Earth’s crustal plate and create the fault lines (See Figure 3) in addition to changing Earth’s axial tilt (See Figure 2).[Report and Opinion. 2010;2(2):1-2]. (ISSN: 1553-9873).

The New Moon is Good for Planting

On April 14th, I had said that the day started a new moon cycle. The new moon is a great time for planting seeds and transplanting plants.

My Ukrainian grandmother always used to transplant her African Violets on the new moon. She won many prizes for her flowering houseplants, including “Queen of the Show” year after year. I always assumed that her dedication to transplant only in the new moon had a lot to do with her marvelous green thumb.

King Tut Led a Life of Pain and Suffering

In an article posted on the Middle Peninsula Fine Arts Association’s blog, I learned that DNA testing in a lab in Cairo paid for by the Discovery Channel has turned up evidence that King Tut had a clubbed foot and probably died from malaria. He also had a condition that restricted blood flow causing his bones to collapse and explaining the 130 wooden sticks and staffs found in his tomb. They were used by the youthful King Tut . . . he died at the age of 19 . . . for support and locomotion.

DNA testing of other mummies showed that one of his mating partners was his sister and that the remains of two stillborn babies in his tomb were his children. The article concludes by saying:

Knowing the secrets of King Tut’s life, lineage and death lends a new perspective to royal life in Ancient Egypt, if you ask Pusch. “At first, he was a specimen in a museum, but now he’s become a person I know intimately,” he said. “His was a painful life and one of suffering. “Not very royal, is it?”

DNA Sheds Light on King Tut’s Life

New Moon Starts Today

Today is the New Moon. In fact, according to my Jim Maynard’s Pocket Astrologer 2010, the new moon started today at 8:29 a.m. EST so we are well into it.

The new moon is a good time to start things. The idea is that you start projects now and finish them before the next new moon. I find this very helpful. It gives me a good framework for working with projects.

If I can’t finish something by the next new moon, I know that it will continue until the following new moon or further. That’s why I try to finish at least some aspect of something I started in the previous new moon before the next new moon.

So, today is a day full of “starting things” energy. Go for it!

Buried City in South of Spain Connected with Atlantis?

Archeologists from Spain’s Higher Council for Scientific Study are looking for evidence of a city that may have been buried by a tsunami in the south of Spain

The Tartessian civilization, which developed in southern Spain between the 11th and 7th centuries BC and became rich trading gold and silver from local mines, has long been linked by mythologists to the Atlantis legend.

Lost city of Atlantis ‘could be buried in southern Spain’

The dates, if correct, are certainly right since Plato said that Atlantis came to its end around 9,000 B.C. A civilization that flourished between the 11th and 7th centuries B.C. would have been contemporary with Atlantis. And, a city on the coast of southern Spain would have been geographically close to Atlantis, a continent in what is now the Atlantic Ocean.

Fascinating Itzamna

While doing research for one of the Special Features, Mayan Gods and a Goddess, accompanying the Yucatan Travel Movie, I came upon this intriguing information: that Izamna was considered a god of the sky.

Yucatan Travel Movie Editing Continues

The main Yucatan Travel Movie is done. So is the 2.5 minute Preview for the next movie in the series, which is called, Yucatan Peninsula Travel. I am happy that the Bloopers Special Feature is also done today. Yay!!! I’ve had a lot of fun with sound effects .

The Ancient Maya View of the Cosmos

Here is a link to an intriguing essay on the Maya-Cosmo Vision, which parallels the lore of the ancient Maya tradition with modern-day quantum physics view of the universe.

Maya-Cosmo Vision: A Living Universe Consciousness

I met and interviewed one of the authors of the article, Belisa B. Gordon while filming the Yucatan Travel Movie.

Fantastic Birdwatching next to Chichen Itza

On our last Yucatan Travel Movie filming visit to Yucatan in March 2009, we visited Hacienda Chichen adjacent to the world-famous Mayan ruin at Chichen Itza. We had the good fortune to interview Belissa Baranche, who calls herself the “keeper” of Hacienda Chichen, and her husband Bruce, who is the driving force behind the greening of the spa/resort.

During the interview, we learned that Belissa is passionate about birdwatching. Therefore, I am delighted to discover that Jim Conrad, a respected naturalist who is also passionate about birding, is staying at Hacienda Chichen as a volunteer. Here is an excerpt from his post on their blog site:

On one such late-afternoon birdwalk I photographed the fast-foraging bird: Rose-throated Becard, PACHYRAMPHUS AGLAIAE, common at forest edges, in open areas and the like, from Mexico to Panama. The Rose-throated Becard male has the rosy throat, making it easy to identify.
