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.

Ever Heard of the Uyghurs?

What’s this about the Uyghurs? Ever heard of them? Know how to pronounce Uyghurs? They are supposed to be members of the largest colony of the lost continent of Mu, also called Lemuria.

According to a blog on Emily’s Art News:

The Uyghur Empire was possibly the first, and unquestionably the largest, most important, and most powerful of all the colonial empires belonging to Mu.

Great Uyghur Empire (Lost continent of Mu, History of Uyghurs/Lemurians)

The above excerpt is from a blog post that also contains a video with photographic images of what I suppose are mummies of the ancient Uyghurs. According to the blog, most of their present-day descendants live in China.

Although the text says that most of the descendants live in China, the video shows paintings and statues, supposedly of ancient Uyghurs, that look more like ancient East Indians.

Demise of Nasca Civilization Caused by Deforestation?

Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom have come up with an intriguing proposal.

While being aware that the Nasca civilization ended suddenly between the 6th and 7th centuries, scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK have recently revealed that the Nasca demise was related to deforestation.

This was due to their clearing of huarango trees, whose deep roots played a key role in regulating moisture and soil richness. Thus, removing so many trees eventually caused a tipping point to be reached, after which the ecosystem was irreversibly damaged and the climate became more and more dry.

Past natural disasters the result of human activities

Are we on the brink of our own demise because of extensive deforestation here?

So many people are concerned about the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest. However, most of North America used to be forest.

Could a Giant Tsunami Have Submerged Atlantis?

Scientists at the Leibniz Oceanography Institute in Kiel, Germany have found indications that an extreme altercation in the earth’s surface occurred about 2,000 years ago.

According to the scientists, the edge of an African continental shelf broke off, scattering debris over 150,000 square kilometers across the deep Atlantic off the coast of Morocco, south of the Canary Islands.

This event could have set off a massive tsunami that some say impacted the lost city of Atlantis, believed to have existed in the Atlantic basin before being engulfed by the sea.

Tarpon Fishing in Yucatan

Although I am more interested in pondering ancient mysteries when travelling in the Yucatan, and therefore concentrate on visiting gorgeous colonial cities, intriguing ancient Mayan ruins, and places of exquisite scenic beauty, which I also have recorded in the Yucatan Travel Movie, some people go to Yucatan for fishing. All you fisherfolk, here’s an excert from an interesting blog post:

For years Barb and I had heard tales of tarpon fishing in the Yucatan, seen photos of tarpon jumping, read articles about them in fly fishing magazines and now we had a chance to find out for ourselves. We joined our friends, Jay and Paula, to spend a week fishing for these elusive game fish in southern Yucatan near Chetumal.

Atlantis Video of Google Maps Africa Scan

In a March 17, 2010 post on this blog, I had said:

“even Google Maps mappers thought they had found the underwater streets of the lost city of Atlantis off the coast of Africa until they realized that their mapping boat had made the marks.”

Well, now you can see a video of the Google Maps image of what might be Atlantis at this URL:

Well, what do you think? Is that Atlantis?

In Atlantis the Pyramids Had Three Sides?

In a blog post entitled, The Lost City of Atlantis, Joe Schmidt claims that the Atlanteans had three-sided rather than four-sided pyramids. Following, please find an excerpt from his online article:

The Atlanteans powered their city with crystals that stored the Sun’s energy and stored information. The Atlanteans were the original pyramid makers and their pyramids had only three sides unlike the newer pyramids which had four sides.

Intriguing PC Game about the Lost City of Atlantis

This looks interesting – a computer game about an archeologist looking for descendants of Atlantis. I have to warn you, though, that if you go to the link below , the web site is full of very annoying, impossible to get rid of pop-ups.

Archaeologist Samantha Swift travels the globe searching for the lost tribes of Atlantis. The descendants of the lost city have spread out over the globe and each one holds a special key that, when brought together, can tune into the Senses and unite the tribal elders with the spirit world.

Mu Author’s Descendent Studies Churchward’s Writings

You have got to check out this amazing blog site. It is written and maintained by Jack Churchward who is a grandson or great-grandson of James Churchward, considered by many to be the authority on the Lost Continent of Mu. James Churchward’s first book was called, Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Man and was published in 1926.

Jack obviously enjoys studying his ancestor’s writings and thoughts . . . and also comparing these writing with modern-day scientific discoveries. In many cases, Jack shows how James’ writings have been disproved by modern science.

We constantly see a great deal written about the ruins of Yucatan and Central America. These writings appear to be exclusively guess work. Herewith is a short synopsis of the history of Yucatan, based on Maya writings, Maya inscriptions, Hindu records, Egyptian records, and Greek writings, and geological phenomena.

Incidents of Travel in Yucatan

I enjoyed this YouTube video which combines the music of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Schaherazade with intriguing sketches drawn by Frederick Catherwood used as illustrations in John L. Stephens’s Incidents of Travel in Yucatan, published in 1843. I enjoying seeing some of the ruins I had visited while filming the Yucatan Travel Movie such as the palace at Sayil. Compared to the sketch of the unexcavated ruin which appears to be semi-buried under a hill of dirt, the present-day ruin is lovely.
