Puma Punku

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

Puma Punku is part of the Tiahuanaco complex in Mexico. This structure contains a block which weighs 440 tons. The other blocks weigh between 100 and 150 tons.

The feature which makes Puma Punku so fascinating is the precision by which the blocks were cut.

The cut in the stones are wider in the back than they are in front. This feature is called dovetailing and is seen in modern furniture making.

The cutting tools that are available could not have cut the stones at Puma Punku.

The machining is so precise that only sophisticated tools could duplicate this precision.

Ancient alien theorists believe that Puma Punku was used as a ancient landing strip for alien spaceships to land on.

Another question about Puma Punku is how was this structure built?

Even with modern equipment, modern man can’t lift a stone that weighs 440 tons.

There is an Inca legend that the god Viracocha burnt the stones which made them as light as a feather. The stones were then moved into place.

Those who subscribe to the ancient aliens theory cite Puma Punku as the best evidence for the ancient aliens theory.

The stone cutting at Puma Punku is so complex and intricate that it is not possible to determine their purpose.

Puma Punku is another example of how advanced and precise ancient engineering was.

The Pyramid of the Sun

Posted on May 15, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

The Pyramid of the Sun is located in Teotihuacan and is the largest building in that region. It can be found along the Avenue of the Dead near the Pyramid of the Moon.

The Aztecs gave the name of Pyramid of the Sun when they visited Teotihuacan centuries after it was abandoned by its builders the Teotihuacanos.

Its size at completion was 738 feet across and its height was 246 feet.

It was built in two phases. The first phase was built in 100 A.D. and the second phase was marked by the construction of an altar on top of the pyramid.

The most fascinating part of the Pyramid of the Sun was the fact that its perimeter of 2933m feet is exactly the same as the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt. That begs the question: Did the ancient Tiotihuacanos have knowledge of the Great Pyramid?

The Pyramid of the Sun is the 3rd largest pyramid in the world.Although the Pyramid of the Sun has the exact same perimeter as the Great Pyramid. It is only 246 feet high while the Great Pyramid is 476 feet high.

In ancient times, The Pyramid of the Sun was covered with ancient murals. Erosion has destroyed these murals and they are no longer visible.

The End of the Old Kingdom

Posted on April 25, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

The history of ancient Egypt can be divided into three periods: the Old Kingdom, the Middle Kingdom and the New Kingdom.

The Old Kingdom existed from 2649 B.C.-2150 B.C.

The capital of the Old Kingdom was Memphis and Saqqara was its necropolis.

The 5th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom was the era of the pyramid builders.

For many decades, the cause of the Old Kingdom’s end was shrouded in mystery.

Now, because of the discoveries of geologists, the cause is known.

A severe and widespread drought cause severe and widespread famine which ended the Old Kingdom.

Geologists performed core soil samples from deep within the earth. Theses core samples revealed the severe drought.

In a normal year, the Nile floods, which contributes to a good harvest. The drought was so severe that it even dried out Lake Moeris. The drought caused subsequent bad harvests.

Unas 2381-2345 was the last king of the 5th Dynasty. There are depictions at Saqqara which show the effects of famine.

The drought was caused by climate change.

After Memphis was abandoned, the capital of the Middle Kingdom became Thebes, which is now Luxor, Egypt.

The necropolis of the Middle Kingdom was The Valley of the Kings. It was in this necropolis that the tomb of the famed King Tut was discovered.

Tomb of Egyptian Princess Found

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

The tomb of an ancient Egyptian princess has been discovered in bedrock south of the city of Cairo.

Archaeologists do not know why the tomb is near non-royal officials instead of at Saqqara, where the royal family is buried.

The archaeologists found sections of a false door, which shows the name and the titles of the princess.

Her name was Sheretnebty. Her tomb is surrounded by several mastabas.

The research is being directed by Miroslav Barta. Barta is an Egyptologist who is from the Czech Institute of Egyptology which is part of the Charles University.

The discovery is important because the princess is part of the Fifth Dynasty. The Fifth Dynasty was the era in which the pyramid builders lived.

This is part of the Old Kingdom. During that part of Egyptian history, the capital was Memphis.

The necropolis of the Old Kingdom was Saqqara and is near the famed Step Pyramid.

This discovery opens a new chapter in the history of Abusir and Saqqara.

Is There Really A Hidden Chamber in the Great Sphinx?

Posted on April 14, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

When I was doing the research for my book, The Hiidden Chamber in the Great Sphinx I attempted to discover whether or not there was really a hidden chamber in the Sphinx.

I learned that in 1993 the was a hidden chamber between the paws of the Great Sphinx.

It was discovered through the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR).

In Egypt, nobody can dig without a digging permit which is issued by the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

To date, the Egyptian government has refused to allow the hidden chamber to be opened.

There are theories about what lies inside the chamber. One theory feels that there is a time capsule in the Great Sphinx.

Some researchers believe that there was a civilization in Egypt before the time of the pharaohs.

Researchers Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock believe that the Sphinx was built in 10,500 B.C. and not in 2500 B.C. as most mainstream archaeologists believe. The cite that the water damage to the Sphinx is extensive and occurred over thousands of years.

Bauval and Hancock also cite archeoastronomy as proof that the Sphinx was built in

10,500 B.C.

The pyramids were aligned with the stars in Orion’s Belt and the Sphinx was facing the constellation Leo during the rising Sun of the Summer Solstice only in the year 10,500 B.C.

Robots and Satellites Make Stunning Discoveries

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

Egyptologist Sarah Parcack led a team of scientists that discovered 17 new pyramids, 1,000 new tombs and 3,000 new buildings using high resolution infrared images from NASA satellites.

These images were taken from a distance of 435 miles.

Experts were skeptical of Ms. Parcack’s claims at first, until a test dig unearthed a 3000 year old house.

Recently, modern robots successfully snaked their way through the labyrinthine tunnels inside the Great Pyramid.

They sent back images of hieroglyphics that have not been seen for 4500 years.

The hieroglyphics are red and the scientists have not been able to decipher them.

Even since research has been done on the Great Pyramid scientist have been trying to determine what the purpose of the two eight-inch square shafts is.

Those shafts lead from the Queen’s chamber to the pyramids large stone doors.

A team of engineers designed robots that were small enough and flexible enough to get past the stone doors in the shafts.

The robots were equipped with small cameras that were capable of taking pictures from all four corners.

However, these same markings have been seen at other sites in Giza.

Deciphering the hieroglyphics may be the key to solving the mystery of the shafts.

Marine Archaeology

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

In my second book, The Underwater Pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle, my character, Dr. Kyle Wilson is a marine archaeologist.

Marine archaeology is the study of homo sapiens’ interaction with the sea.

Common sites for marine archaeologists are shipwrecks and seismic upheaval sites.

Marine archaeology is taught at Texas A&M University in Texas where training includes instruction in SCUBA diving.

There are also many archaeological sites locates near the water. The sea has always been a food source since prehistoric times. Villages were located on the coast.

Since the end of the Ice Age, sea levels have risen 400 feet. As a result, many ancient villages are now located underwater.

On many occasions, seismic activity have caused settlements to be submerged.

The earliest shipwrecks have come from the Bronze Age. Many Bronze Age ships are found in the Mediterranean Sea.

Sometimes, valuable marine archaeological sites are found by accident while searching for other materials.

Such was the case of Dr. Paulina Zelitsky, who was searching for sunken treasure off the coast of Cuba when she discovered a sunken city.

The coast of Cuba is the site for many sunken Spanish galleons.

She discovered a sunken city which contained three pyramids, buildings and roads.

National Geographic is funding research to explore this sunken city which is estimated to be 14.000 years old.

The Ancients and Aerial Flight

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

Vimanas are the names the ancient Indians gave to ancient aircraft. In the Ramayana, is ancient text which describes vimanas.

The Ramayana describes a vimana as a double-deck, cylindrical aircraft which had portholes and a dome.

Vimana flew with the same speed as the wind and produce a humming sound.

In the Vaimanika Sastra which was a 4th century text discovered in a temple in India described the operation of vimanas. The text discussed the operation of vimanas and preparation for long flights.Accordfing to the text, vimanas were said to take off vertically and were said to hover in the sky like a helicopter.

The aforementioned Indian texts describe aerial warfare which took place 10,000 years ago.

In the ancient text, Vimaanika Shastra whichn describe how to create a mercury vortex engine.

Mercury was experimented on during World War II by Nazi Germany in order to create a mercury engine. Scientist today are still trying to create a mercury engine for the purpose of powering a spaceship.

The ancient texts also describe wars between vimanas during ancient times. Countries fought each other using vimanas as combat aircraft centuries before aerial wars were conducted in World War I and World War II.

The Cyclical Theory of History

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

In my second book The Underwater Pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle, two of my characters have many discussions about the nature of history.

Dr. Cliff Post, the Egyptologist believes in The Ancient Aliens Theory. His friend Dr. Kyle Wilson, the marine archeologist believes in the cyclical theory of history.

In the cyclical theory of history, a civilization achieves many advanced technologies and a vast body of scientific knowledge.

That advanced civilization is destroyed either through war or a natural disaster such as volcanoes, earthquakes or a massive flood.

The survivors lose their technologies and their knowledge.

They start over again on a primitive level.

A good example of this phenomenon is the Fall of the Roman Empire which plunged Europe into the Dark Ages.

Then a rebirth occurred in which the sciences and technologies were rediscovered during the Renaissance.

In ancient times, the Alexandria Library in Alexandria, Egypt was destroyed.

The Alexandria Library was said to be a vast repository of ancient knowledge.

Evidence has come to light that the ancient Egyptians have a very advanced knowledge of mathematics and astronomy.

In addition, even with our modern technologies we would be hard pressed to replicate the engineering feats of the ancient Egyptians.

For example, the face of Ramses II was so precisely carved that if it is photographed and placed in a computer program the left side of Ramses is proven to be the exact mirror image of the right side of Ramses face.

In conclusion, the cyclical theory of history shows that throughout history knowledge has been lost and regained repeatedly.

A Glass Pyramid?

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Linda A. Cadose

Oceanographer Dr. Verlag Meyer claims to have discovered 2 large glass pyramids which are located at the center of the Bermuda Triangle’s seabed.

They are said to be made of glass or of a glass like crystal.

Both structures are larger than the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid is composed of 2.5 million blocks of stone.

One pyramid has a length of 300 meters and a height of 200 meters.These pyramids are nearly 3 times the size of the Great Pyramid.

Florida State University anthropologist Professor Glen Doran said that the Near East pyramids were built around 4000 B.C. Any genuine pyramids built off the coast of Florida would be 2000 years older.

Currently teams of French and American scientists are surveying the Bermuda Triangle seabed.

Dr. Meyer has been distributing copies of the pyramid’s coordinates to fellow scientists who are attempting to verify the find.

According to Dr. Meyer these pyramids were found using sonar equipment These pyramids were found at a depth of 2000 meters.
