    The Pyramid of the Sun* Teotihuacan, Mexico on The Avenue of The Dead

    The Pyramid of the Sun* is the largest building in Teotihuacan, Mexico
    and one of the largest in Mesoamerica.
    Found along the Avenue of the Dead, in between the Pyramid of the Moon and the Ciudadela,
    and in the shadow of the massive mountain Cerro Gordo,
    the pyramid is part of a large complex in the heart of the city.

    Teotihuacán : (City of the Gods).
    The original builders of the complex are unknown, but it is suggested by Spence (1), that it was the Mecca of the Nahua. The city was left abandoned in 700 AD.
    It was suspected by Stansbury Hagar that the city had been built as a 'map of heaven'. During the 1960's and 1970's a comprehensive mathematical survey was carried out by Hugh Harleston Jr, who found that the principle structures line up along the 'Street of the dead' (and beyond), from which he concluded the city was a precise scale model of the solar system, including Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (not rediscovered until 1787, 1846 and 1930 respectively. (21).

    Teotihuacán:
    Teotihuacan means 'The City of the Gods", or "Where Men Become Gods" (in Nahuatl). Although not much is known about the earliest phase of Teotihuacan, From the Tzacualli to Miccaotli phases; A.D. 1-200, which were characterized by monumental construction, Teotihuacan quickly became the largest and most populous urban center in the New World. Teotihuacan was the sixth largest city on the world during its period of greatest prosperity, according to an estimated population of 125,000 (Millon 1993:33). The city seems to have functioned for centuries as a well-developed urban centre until its sudden collapse, sometime around the 7th cent AD.

    The Avenue of the dead - Running south from the Pyramid of the moon for about 3.2 km, where it was bisected by an east-west Avenue of equal length. Along it are a series of open courtyards', each up to 145m wide and lined with small platforms. (12).

    The Avenue of the Dead was the main street of Teotihuacan. It ran south for more than 3km, beginning at the Moon Plaza and extending beyond the Ciudadela and the Great Compound complexes to the south. According to Millon (Cowgill 1992a:96; Millon 1981:221), the avenue continued even further south, terminating near the edge of the mountains on the distant horizon.

    A large, long drainage channel ran under the floor of the avenue gathering rain water from neighbouring architectural units and draining it into Rio San Juan.

    Teotihuacán Pyramids:
    There are two larger pyramids and one smaller at Teotihuacan. The smaller one, called 'The Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl' or the 'Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent' is now considered to be the most important of the three. A series of tunnels have been found underneath it in 2010. They are thought to be the resting place of the Ruling elite.

    The Pyramid of the Sun:
    The largest of the Teotihuacán pyramids, the pyramid of the sun was actually reconstructed as five stepped platforms. However, the forth platform seems to have been erroneously reconstructed by Batres following his heavy-handed excavations in 1907. The pyramid originally consisted of four stepped platforms, a surmounting temple, and the Adosada platform, which was built over what was originally the principal facade of the pyramid. No information about the temple itself is available, since, along with the upper-most portion of the pyramid, it has been completely destroyed.

    Physical statistics:
    Alignment - Orientated several degrees east of True North.
    Height - 233.5 ft (21), 230 ft (12),
    Angle of side - 43.5º (21)
    Perimeter of base - 2932.8 ft (21)
    Length of side - 233.5 m (21), 225m (12).

    The dimensions of the Pyramid of the Sun incorporate 'Pi' in the following way: (4 x Π) x h = Perimeter / Circumference of base. (21) The pyramids base area is almost the same as that of the great pyramid of Ghiza. (21), (12), The height is almost half.

    It was discovered in 1971, that leading from a natural cave, 6m below the pyramid, and running for approx' 100m to the east, is a natural passageway. (12). It opens close under the centre of the Pyramid into a 'four-leaved-clover' shape, each 'leaf', about 60 ft in circumference and containing beautifully engraved slate discs and highly polished mirrors. There was also a complex drainage system of interlocking segments of carved rock pipes. (21).

    Mexico's first great city, Teotihuacan coalesced out of a number of small hamlets in the early years of the first century B.C., after, as archaeologists believe, the discovery of a four-chambered lava-tube cave in the Teotihuacan Valley. Caves played an integral role in Mesoamerican religion, being places of emergence of gods and ancestors as well as portals to the underworld, the world of demons and other potent beings. The Teotihuacan cave may have held particular significance, its four lobes representing the four parts of the Mesoamerican cosmos. It soon became a focal point of ritual activity and settlement in the valley. Teotihuacan's Pyramid of the Sun was built directly over the cave in the second century A.D. (2)

    'Mexico finds Fire-God Figure at top of Pyramid of the Sun'
    'Mexican archaeologists announced this week that a figure of the god, called Huehueteotl, was found in a covered pit at the apex of the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan. The discovery suggests that a long-disappeared temple at the top of the pyramid was used to perform ritual offerings to the fire god, Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, or INAH, said in a statement Monday. Archaeologists found the Huehueteotl, along with two stone pillars, in a covered pit about 15 feet deep, at a height of about 214 feet from the ground. The pit is below the remnants of a platform at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun that probably served as the foundation for a temple'.

    'Jade Mask discovered in Pyramid of the Sun'
    Archaeologists have discovered a jade funerary mask during their excavations under the pyramid of the sun. The mask was part of an 'offering' found under the pyramid, seven human burials including children who were buried before the construction of the building. 'Several numbers of obsidian artefacts were also found including projectile heads and small knives along with an anthropomorphic eccentric artefact and three anthropomorphic figurines with shell and pyrite eyes'.

    [​IMG]

    The discovery of an Olmec Jade mask 'beneath' the pyramid suggests a cultural connection between the Olmecs and the original builders. The archaeologists also determined that 'During excavating the tunnel into the heart of the pyramid three architectural structures were discovered that are older than the current Pyramid of the Sun' (6). Future analysis of these structures will undoubtedly better our understanding of the origin of the Teotihuacán complex itself.

    The Pyramid of the Moon:
    The Moon Pyramid is located at the northern end of the Avenue of the Dead, which was the main axis of the city. A similar edifice as the Pyramid of the sun, but smaller in scale, built in the second half of the 2nd century AD. According to Aztec tradition it was once surmounted by a 20 ton statue. (12). The Pyramid of the moon was an integral part of the complex, being built into the landscape as the following picture demonstrates.

    The Chambers of the Pyramid of the moon:
    Article
    . (Archaeology. Dec 4. 1998)
    'A burial chamber containing what may be the remains of a retainer of an early ruler of Teotihuacan, an ancient metropolis 30 miles northeast of Mexico City, has been found within the Pyramid of the Moon, at the northern end of the site's main thoroughfare, the Street of the Dead. Discovered by Arizona State University (ASU) archaeologist Saburo Sugiyama, the skeleton, thought to be that of an adult male who was bound and sacrificed, was buried in a square chamber 11.3 feet on each side and five feet deep. He was surrounded by more than 150 burial offerings, including obsidian and greenstone figurines, obsidian blades and points, pyrite mirrors, conch and other shells, and the remains of eight birds (hawks or falcons) and two jaguars, which may have been buried alive. "The quality of the offerings," says Sugiyama, "is exceptional, particularly in light of the more than 1,200 burials found at the site so far."

    The discovery of pyramid funerary remains is in keeping with discoveries at Mayan centres of Palenque and Copan.

    The grave, which dates to about A.D. 150, is associated with pyramid's fourth construction phase. What we see today is the fifth and last, built ca. A.D. 250. "The pyramid of the Moon," says Sugiyama, "started out as a rather small temple beneath what is now the five-tiered platform in front of the pyramid. After two additional construction episodes, the builders embarked on the construction of the pyramid itself." (2)

    Temple of Quetzalcoatl (The Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent).
    A six-stage pyramid with a height of 72 ft, and a base area of 82,000 ft. It is located in the Ciudadela at the southern end of the avenue of the dead.

    [​IMG]

    This pyramid was built over existing structures, and has been built over since by the 'Adosada', which was integrated into the design of the original temple, archaeology has re-exposed the original temple of the feathered serpent, upon which can be seen the numerous 'feathered serpents' heads carved into the temples facade and stairwell.

    [​IMG]

    A prehistoric structure had been buried beneath a much later mound immediately in front of it. The exposed temple still had traces of multicoloured paintings on the rows of rectangular panels superimposed on the sloping walls with sculpted serpent heads lining the sides of the stairway and facing blocks. (21).

    Several mass graves, excavated between 1982 and 1989, were found around and beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent (Quetzelcoatl) at the southern end of the site. The 137 people buried there were apparently sacrificed, their hands tied behind their backs, during the construction of the pyramid. (2)
    (The Feathered Serpent in Mythology)

    Article, (Aug 2010): Tunnel System Uncovered at the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent.

    [​IMG]

    'Following 8 months of investigative work, archaeologists of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) located, 12 meters below, the entrance to the tunnel that leads to galleries under the Feathered Serpent Temple, in Teotihuacan.

    The tunnel passes under the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, the most important building of the Citadel, “and the entry was located a few meters from the pyramid. A vertical shaft of almost 5 meters by side is the access to the tunnel: it goes 14 meters deep, and the entrance leads to a nearly 100 meters long corridor that ends in a series of underground galleries excavated in the rock.

    The tunnel was discovered in late 2003 by Sergio Gomez and Julie Gazzola, but its exploration has required several years of planning and managing the financial resources necessary to carry out research at the highest scientific level. So far, 200 tons of earth have been withdrawn, he said, while doing this we have found about 60,000 pieces of artefacts and pottery.

    “Several indications suggest that access to the underground passage was closed between 200 and 250 AD, probably after depositing something inside. One of the hypotheses postulate that, within the large chamber detected by the GPR, we could locate the remains of important people in the city. ”

    The investigations have led to know with certainty that this tunnel was made prior to the construction of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent and the Citadel. The tunnel is contemporary with a large architectural structure, which could be a ball game court, according to the form of the ground. According to the hypothesis about the meaning and symbolism of the tunnel, archaeologist Sergio Gomez, said the tunnel had to be linked to concepts related to the underworld, hence it is possible that in this place were carried out initiation rituals and the divine investiture of Teotihuacan rulers, since the power was acquired in these sacred spaces.

    the excavation have permitted to recuperate thousands of small ornaments, made of shell, jade from Guatemala, serpentine, slate and obsidian, thrown by the people from Teotihuacan as offerings at the moment of closing the entrance. Several parts of a frieze that may have decorated a building prior to the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, and that was dismantled, have been found as well'. (5)

    (Press release of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), Mexico, 3 August 2010)
    "It is possible," concluded Sergio Gómez, "that the tunnel discovered would have been the most important and sacred element around which the first constructions were undertaken on this site about 100 B.C., and where later on The Citadel was erected, which was the magnificent stage where rituals associated with the myths of creation and the beginning of the mythic time must have been performed."

    The Mica Temple:
    Following the discovery of mica in the Pyramid of the Sun, two more sheets, approx' 90 ft square, and laid directly on top of one another, were discovered beneath the stone paved floor of the Mica temple. Trace element testing showed it to originate 2000 miles away in Brazil. (21) Similar finds of Mica have been found at some Mayan sites.
    The first sheets of mica were found in between two of the upper levels of the Pyramid of the Sun. The discovery occurred in 1906, when the complex was restored. But the mica was removed and sold as soon as it had been excavated, by Leopoldo Batres, the man in charge of the project.

    More recently, a “Mica Temple” has been discovered on the site, but this time, the mica has remained in situ. The temple sits around a patio about 300 metres south of the west face of the Pyramid of the Sun. Directly under a floor paved with heavy rock slabs, they found two massive sheets of mica. The sheets are 90 feet square and form two layers, one laid directly on top of the other. As it sits underneath a stone floor, its use was obviously not decorative, but functional.

    Mica is a substance containing different metals, depending on the kind of rock formation in which it is found. The type of mica found at Teotihuacán indicates a type that is only found in Brazil, more than 2000 miles away. The same South American mica was found in Olmec sites. It is clear that its presence in Teotihuacán involved a lot of effort – and it thus must have played an important role
    As yet there is no satisfactory explanation as to how the Mica sheets (up-to 30cm thick) were transported there over 2000 Miles, nor their significance or purpose in relation to the complex or pyramids.

    According to most sources the mica is said to originate from a source in Brazil, over 2000miles distant (suggesting transport by boat), for Example, Childress (3) says of it 'According to expert opinions the mica found at Teotihuacán is a type found only in faraway Brazil', While Fagan (4), calls it 'locally mined mica'. The jury is out on this one.
    Mica is used by the electronics industry in capacitor construction, Thermal and electric insulation, Opaque to fast neutrons, and it acts as a moderator in nuclear reactions.

    The marks inside this stone cylinder suggests that it was drilled, providing yet another example of the advanced masonry skills in the pre-Columbian America's.

    Archaeoastronomy at Teotihuacan.
    It is a curious fact that the city of Teotihuacán was meticulously laid out on a grid which is offset 15º.5 from the cardinal points. Its main avenue, the "Street of the Dead," runs from 15º.5 east of north to 15º.5 west of south, as does its most impressive structure, the Pyramid of the Sun, which is directly oriented to a point 15º.5 north of west.

    LOST CITY of THE DEAD in The Grand Canyon - USA

    Lost City of the Dead in the Grand Canyon
    Ongoing Research by Jack Andrews and Susan Anway
    and a team of explorers
    Discovered in 1908 at the Grand Canyon of Arizona by G. E. Kinkaid of Lewiston, Idaho


    ref: http://bibliotecapleyades.lege.net/esp_orionzone_8.htm

    If you have any pertinent information regarding this "cave", G. E. Kinkaid, Professor S. A. Jordan, or the Smithsonian Institute's alleged involvement in this story, please do not hesitate to contact me at vrartist@gci-net.com . ALL correspondence to me regarding your possible knowledge involvement or experience at or about this "cave" will be kept confidential or "anonymous" if you wish. - Jack Andrews

    "Isis Temple" is a prominent butte in the central area of the Grand Canyon.

    It has been suggested by quite a few people on the Internet that the location of the cave Kincaid found in 1909 was at or near Isis Temple. This speculation had it's origin from a few sources, one being the names of buttes and temples in the vicinity.


    The idea here is that the names of the various temples, "Isis", "Vishnu" "Buddha" "Diva" Brahma" "Shiva", etc. must have gotten their names from the discovery of Kincaid's cave in 1908.

    With just a little research however, the origin of the names becomes apparent (see below).
    Another rumor based on little research is that the "entire area of the Grand Canyon, which contains the Egyptian/Oriental names, is OFF LIMITS, closed to the public. Nothing could be further from the truth. The area is NOT "off limits" as claimed and again, simple basic research will show this to be true. You can see the official designation of the area at the end of this page, or call the Back Country Ranger's Office "Grand Canyon National Park" and ask for yourself. 520-638-7575 Monday-Friday 1 p.m. - 5 p.m Monday.

    Clarence E. Dutton and the Origin of "Oriental" names in the Grand Canyon:

    "Clarence E. Dutton began working on his Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District
    while he was a member of the Powell survey. Consisting of twenty-three sheets,
    Tertiary History. . . (1882) summarized what was known about the Grand Canyon
    in a strikingly beautiful manner.


    Part of a longer report, it was a composite work in the same way that the Warren map had been, integrating the results of the post-Civil War surveys of the American West. The maps are drawn at three different scales and show the topography and geology of the Grand Canyon. Tertiary History. . . was important both as a work of art and as the scientific foundation upon which subsequent mapping was based, making it one of the most popular cartographic works devoted to the Grand Canyon."

    They ran out of local names and fell back on Greek, Roman, and mythological names such as Wotans Throne, Zoroaster Temple, Krishna Temple, Holy Grail Peak, etc. There has been much criticism of them but after being on maps for over 50 years, the U.S.G.B. decided to retain them, which was doubtless wise. " Capt. Dutton started this naming of features after Orientals with Vishnu Temple, Shiva Temple, etc. He did not like Indian names, thought them ugly.

    I had several arguments with him on the subject as I objected violently lo Oriental and Egyptian nomenclature. I have continued to object ever since." Letter, Mr. Dellenbaugh, Feb. 14, 1933. The author agrees heartily with this eminent explorer and writer."

    Lost Pyramid of Mirador: World's largest
    Contributing Writers - Acharya S/D.M. Murdock

    What an awesome discovery!
    And there are thousands more in the jungles of Guatemala and elsewhere. This one dates to two to three centuries before the common era.

    Interestingly enough, "renegade" writers decades ago reported on the thousands of pyramids and city ruins all over Central and South America. They were pooh-poohed as "crackpots" by mainstream scholars and scientists. As time goes on, one after another of the revelations of these "crackpots" are coming to fruition.

    Would that I could be a fly on the wall to see what kind of correspondences
    to "Old World" civilization will be unearthed here, including in this fresh version of the Popol Vuh.

    Speaking of "Old World," the crackpots of previous years also claimed that there were ruins in the "New World" older than many in the "Old World," a view supported by recent finds of sites thousands of years BCE. Again, an earlier generation had dismissed all notions of a New World civilization thriving much earlier than the "time of Christ," as they tended to frame practically everything.

    El Mirador, the Lost City of the Maya
    Post 2835


    EL MIRADOR

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and others.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Mirador

    El Mirador is a large pre-Columbian Mayan settlement, located in the north of the modern department of El Petén, Guatemala.

    [​IMG]

    “El Tigre Complex”, in El Mirador


    Discovery

    El Mirador was first discovered in 1926, and was photographed from the air in 1930, but the remote site deep in the jungle had little more attention paid to it until Ian Graham spent some time there making the first map of the area in 1962.[1] A detailed investigation was begun in 1978 with an archaeological project under the direction of Bruce Dahlin (The Catholic University of America) and Ray Matheny (Brigham Young University). Dahlin's work focused primarily on the bajo swamps and mapping, while Matheny's team focused primarily on excavations in the site center and architecture. This project ended in 1983. To the surprise of the archaeologists, it was found that a large amount of construction was not contemporary with the large Maya classic cities in the area, like Tikal and Uaxactun, but rather from centuries earlier in the Pre-Classic era (see: Mesoamerican chronology).[2]

    [​IMG]
    Pyramid at El Mirador

    In 2003, Richard D. Hansen, a Senior Scientist from Idaho State University, initiated major investigation, stabilization, and conservation programs at El Mirador with a multi-disciplinary approach, including staff and technical personnel from 52 universities and research institutions from throughout the world. By August 2008, the team had published 168 scientific papers,[citation needed] and produced 474 technical reports and scientific presentations as well as documentary films in the History Channel, National Geographic, the Learning Channel, BBC, ABC's 20/20 and Good Morning America, 60 Minutes (Australia), and the Discovery Channel.

    History


    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Stela 2 at El Mirador.[3]

    El Mirador flourished from about the 6th century BCE, reaching its height from the 3rd century BCE to the 1st century CE, with a peak population of perhaps more than a hundred thousand people, judging by the size and extent of the labor pool required to build the massive constructions.[citation needed] It then experienced a hiatus of construction and perhaps abandonment for generations, followed by re-occupation and further construction in the Late Classic era, and a final abandonment about the end of the 9th century. The civic center of the site covers some 10 square miles (26 km2) with several thousand structures, including monumental architecture from 10 to 30 meters high.

    There are a number of "triadic" structures (around 35 structures),[4] consisting of large artificial platforms topped with a set of 3 summit pyramids. The most notable such structures are three huge complexes; one is nicknamed "El Tigre", with height 55 metres (180 ft); the other is called "La Danta" (or Danta) temple. The La Danta temple measures approximately 70 metres (230 ft) tall from the forest floor,[5] and considering its total volume (2,800,000 cubic meters) is one of the largest pyramids in the world.[6] When the large man-made platform that the temple is built upon (some 18,000 square meters) is included in calculations, La Danta is considered by some archeologists to be one of the most massive ancient structures in the world.[7] Also the "Los Monos" complex is very large (48 meters high) although not as well known. Most of the structures were originally faced with cut stone which was then decorated with large stucco masks depicting the deities of Maya mythology. According to Carlos Morales-Aguilar, a Guatemalan archaeologist, the city appears to have been planned from its foundation, as extraordinary alignments have been found between the architectural groups and main temples, which were possibly related to solar alignments. The study reflects an importance of urban planning and sacred spaces since the first settlers.

    An additional feature of El Mirador is the quantity and size of causeways, internally linking important architectural compounds, and externally linking the numerous major ancient cities within the Mirador Basin during the latter part of the Middle and Late Preclassic periods. The causeways were known anciently as sacbeob (the plural form of sacbe, meaning "white road" in Mayan, from sac "white" and be "road"). These are raised stone causeways raising 2 to 6 meters above the level of the surrounding landscape and measuring from 20 to 50 meters wide. One sacbe links El Mirador to the neighbouring site of Nakbe, approximately 12 km away, while another joined El Mirador to El Tintal, 20 km away.

    While the city and the sister centers of the Mirador Basin thrived between 300 BCE and the Common Era (CE), apparently, the site was abandoned, as were nearly all other major sites in the area, by about 150 CE. A large wall, which must have been as high as 3 to 8 meters, had been constructed on the entire northern, eastern, and southern portions of the West Group of the city prior to its abandonment in the terminal Preclassic period, suggesting a possible threat that had been perceived by this time.[citation needed]


    [​IMG]

    In 2009, a student found stucco panels with heroic figures from the Popol Vuh, a sacred text that many believed was influenced by Spanish priests who translated it. Shown here with Richard Hansen, the discovery proves that it predated the Spaniards by millennia.http://www.smithsonianmag.com/multimedia/photos/?c=y&articleID=119869049

    In the Late Classic period, ca 700 CE, portions of the site were reoccupied by a more modest occupation, with small structures nestled among the ruins of the great Preclassic center. The largest structure from this time period is scarcely more than 8 meters high, and many of the Preclassic building were plundered for stone materials for construction and lime making. The Late Classic occupants however, were noted scribes and artists.[8] The area of the Mirador Basin is the only known source of the "Codex-style Ceramics", a particularly fine polychrome ceramic consisting of black line drawings on a cream colored background. The Late Classic occupation was brief, and by about 900 CE, the area was again nearly completely abandoned, and remains so until the present time.

    Today

    Exposed stonework at El Mirador in 2000

    Richard D. Hansen, an archaeologist from Idaho State University, is the current director of the Mirador Basin Project, and according to his discoveries here, he thinks that the more than 45 mapped sites in the Mirador Basin may have formed the earliest well-defined political state in Mesoamerica.

    Although containing striking examples of Preclassic Maya civilization, the remote location of El Mirador has prevented it from becoming a popular tourist site. Major plans by the current government of Guatemala are including El Mirador as an important center of the Cuatro Balam Conservation and Development project.

    Threats to Mirador

    This large concentration of Preclassic Maya cities in Mesoamerica is threatened by massive deforestation, looting, and destruction caused by equipment used in logging road construction, which itself facilitates intrusive settlements.[9]

    The Mirador Basin in the far northern Petén region of Guatemala is known for its abundance of sites, many of which are among the largest and earliest in the Maya world. Of 26 known sites, only 14 have been studied; an estimated 30 more await discovery. By the time scholars get there, looters may already have plundered them.


    [​IMG]

    As an 1997 article published by Richard Hansen of the Archaeological Institute of America states:
    "Trafficking in Maya artifacts is big business. George Stuart of the National Geographic Society has suggested that 1,000 pieces of fine pottery leave the Maya region each month, not an unreasonable estimate in light of the site damage observed. The most sought-after finds are codex-style ceramics, Late Classic (600-900 CE) black-line-on-cream pottery depicting mythological and historical events. Looters are often paid between $200 and $500 per vessel. Collectors may pay more than $100,000 for the same pieces in a gallery or at auction. At even minimal prices this amounts to a $10-million-a-month business in stolen cultural property. Collecting Precolumbian art is often viewed as a justifiable means of preserving the past. It is, in fact, a destructive and sometimes violent business, as attested by the recent assassination in Carmelita of Carlos Catalán, a local chiclero who had become a staunch opponent of looting in Petén."[10]


    [​IMG]


    In 1979, archaeologist Richard Hansen, at the Jaguar Paw Temple, discovered pot fragments that proved the Maya had developed a complex society more than 1,000 years earlier than previously thought.

    Since 2003, California-based non-profit organization Global Heritage Fund (GHF) has been working to preserve and protect Mirador.[11] In an October 2010 report titled Saving Our Vanishing Heritage, GHF listed Mirador as one of 12 worldwide heritage sites most "On the Verge" of irreparable loss and destruction, citing deforestation, fires, major logging, poaching, looting, and narcotics trafficking as major threats to the region.[12]

    Meaning Of Carvings On 3,500 Year Old Rock In NC Mountains, USA Remain Unsolved


    Meaning Of Carvings On 3,500 Year Old Rock In NC Mountains Remain Unsolved


    [​IMG]
    In this photo from the Parker family taken decades ago, the carvings in the rock can be seen after they were marked with chalk. Photo: NC Archives.

    By NCDCR, Reprinted By The Raleigh Telegram

    CULLOWHEE – A sacred soapstone boulder in the North Carolina mountains that dates back to thousands of years ago has still not revealed its secrets. Native American activity around the rock started around 3,500 years ago and continued with carvings that were made from 500 A.D. to the 1700′s.

    Judaculla Rock is North Carolina’s best known and largest example of a Native American petroglyphs site. In the modern and generic sense, it is a public attraction and a point of interest, and is commonly identified as a boulder covered with ancient and mysterious engravings. It is much more.

    Judaculla Rock is one of several petroglyph boulders within a 15 acre area that is an archaeological site of great significance.

    Broader still, the Judaculla Rock site is but one landscape component of a prominent Cherokee legend that chronicles the vast supernatural and physical realm of an ancient being named Judaculla.

    Judaculla is the anglicized pronunciation of Tsul Kalu, as documented by the Bureau of American Ethnology’s James Mooney in the late 19th Century. Mooney, along with several other visitors to Cherokee territory, recorded varying tales of a legendary giant.

    By all accounts, Judaculla was a human-like giant with supernatural powers, who traveled between This World and the Underworld.

    On a 1900 map by Mooney, Judaculla Rock is mapped along with principal Cherokee towns and other notable major features, suggesting its relative importance to the Cherokee people.

    The name of the giant – Tsul Kalu – means “he has them slanting,” being understood as referring to his eyes. Of his otherworldly powers, the slant-eyed giant primarily was considered to be the Master of all Game Animals. In their daily lives, the Cherokee included his name in their formulas, rites, and rituals to ensure success in hunting.

    The geographic region associated with Judaculla includes at least 12 prominent place-names or features that give testament to his reign, encompassing an 800 square mile region.

    Kanuga Town, and a mound that was located there, is the initial setting for the Judaculla story, and the hometown of his wife, her mother and brother. Judaculla lived atop and within the great Balsam Mountain Range, more specifically at Tanasee Bald and the Devil’s Courthouse.

    The Tanasee Bald area was called Judaculla Old Fields by early settlers and was considered to be both Judaculla’s farm and one of his Underworld entryways.

    On the next mountain top over from Tanasee Bald, Judaculla sat upon his great mountain top judgment seat with a commanding view down upon all of those who may partake in the hunt of his game. The place was later misnamed the Devil’s Courthouse, due to early American visitor accounts of Judaculla being a type of Devil.

    Located just below Tanasee Bald and the Judgment seat, are the ridgetop balds of Judaculla Ridge and Old Fields Ridge, said to be huge fields once farmed by Judaculla. Looking Glass Rock is a nearby granitic dome mountain, and the place where Judaculla is said to have seen his own reflection. When wet or icy, the granite cliff faces reflect light and only a giant could stand so tall to see himself at those great heights.

    The glyph origin story tells of Judaculla in chase of rogue hunters, and he leapt down from his mountaintop fields and landed in the Caney Fork creek bottom lands (a distance of over 10 miles and 3,200 feet). As he landed he stumbled and put out a hand to keep from falling.

    His hand pressed against a giant boulder to steady his massive frame. In so doing he left several indentions including an impression of his hand. Then with the with the nail of his right index finger, he drew a sharp line across the face of the rock that was to remind people that harm would come to those who crossed it without first going through the appropriate rituals. Shining Rock, is yet another place of reverence for the Cherokee, and also the general location for petroglyphs.

    The Cherokee know Shining Rock area as “Where the tracks are this way.” Here, Judaculla’s children left tracks in the rocks while on their way from Kanuga to their home at Tanasee Bald.

    In the past few years, researchers in the Cherokee Studies program at Western Carolina University have deciphered the term Cullowhee as a shortened and anglicized form of “Jutaculla-whee,” meaning Judaculla’s Place. Cullowhee is located six miles northeast of Judaculla Rock. As at Kanuga, a mound once was present at Cullowhee, on what is now the Western Carolina University campus.

    Today the Judaculla Rock is owned by Jackson County, having been donated in 1959 by the Parker family, very conscientious caretakers who still own the surrounding lands.

    Since 1959, the one-acre county-owned area around the rock has undergone a variety of improvements that concluded with unintended negative impacts.

    In 2005, worsening site conditions led the North Carolina Rock Art Project and Western Carolina University professors to initiate preservation efforts.

    In 2007 Jannie Loubser of Stratum Unlimited and soil scientist colleague Douglas Frink were hired to complete a conservation plan for Judaculla Rock. Loubser’s initial condition assessments found nearly one-half of the rock had been covered with sediment since the 1920s, most since the 1960s.

    Loubser’s ethnographic, historical, and archaeological work at the site resulted in the most extensive documentation of this cultural resource to date. He believes petroglyphs on the Judaculla Rock are the most extensive and complicated known to exist not only in North Carolina but also in the entire region east of the Mississippi River.

    With a meticulous study of the petroglyphs formation, Loubser developed the first tangible chronology for the rock.

    The quarrying of the soapstone near the rock began in the Late Archaic period, roughly 3,500 years ago. More recent cupules, nested rings, cross-in-circle, and stylized figurative motifs started in ancient times and continued through Colonial times.

    Glyph carving was episodic and the chronological placement of these probably falls within the Late Woodland to Late Mississippian periods. Loubser says some of the carvings were made as early as 500 A.D. and some possibly up until around 1700.

    Loubser devoted a large section of the Judaculla report to identification and interpretation. He makes an appealing argument for the rock being a three-dimensional picture map of Judaculla’s world—a highly stylized scale-model of the surrounding sacred landscape with its mountains, rivers, trees, villages, and spirit beings.

    The rock is sacred to the Cherokee. In the past four hundred years, The Cherokee’s post European contact story is one of strength and perseverance.

    The well documented 1830′s Trail of Tears tragedy split the Cherokee into two groups now known as the Cherokee Nation and Eastern Band of the Cherokee.

    Even in the theater of intense cultural conflict and displacement, many Cherokee maintained an intimate relationship with Judaculla Rock. The Eastern Band of the Cherokee has emerged as a principal partner in efforts to protect, enhance, and celebrate the Judaculla Rock cultural site.

    Recent efforts include signage and interpretation at the site that will be in both English and Cherokee, with the perspective of their peoples included.

    Both the enduring story of Judaculla, and that of the Cherokee People is one of permanence and fortitude, whose signature on the mountainous Southern Appalachian landscape continues to stand the test of time. ::

    CRYSTAL PYRAMID IN CARIBBEAN SEA


    American and French explorers have made a monumental discovery: a partially translucent, crystal-like pyramid rising from the Caribbean seabed— its origin, age and purpose completely unknown.


    [​IMG]

    The Bermuda Triangle: mysterious, unworldly, sometimes deadly. For decades intrepid researchers delved into the maze of mysteries hidden deep within this most enigmatic place on Earth.

    Some speculate the bizarre time anomalies, disappearances and weird phenomena can be explained by natural occurences. Others are insistent that relics of an advanced, unknown culture left behind fantastic technology…great energy machines that literally warp spacetime and open portals to other realities.

    Pyramid discovery challenges current archaelogical theory

    A gigantic structure, perhaps larger than the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt, and initially identified by a doctor in the 1960s, has been independently verified by diving teams from France and the U.S.

    The discovery has rocked scientists around the world. Will they rush to investigate it? No, they’re more likely to studiously ignore it. If pressed, they’ll officially position themselves as highly skeptical—especially in light of the potential ramifications.

    The pyramid could confirm some engineers’ contentions that pyramids were originally created as massive power sources, support the claim that the ancient city-state of Atlantis did exist, or even provide answers to the mysterious goings-on that have been recorded since the 19th Century in the region of the Atlantic dubbed the Bermuda Triangle.

    The Atlantis Triangle - 3 + 3+ Pyramids in Atlantic Ocean & on west side of Gulf Stream



    Sunken Pyramids off Florida's Atlantic Coast

    [​IMG]

    There are at least three ancient underwater pyramids off the Atlantic Coast of Florida which few people know exist. Multiple sources of information about the pyramids are available, but for simplicity most of the following information is from Bill Hansons book "The Atlantis Triangle." Hanson notes that the three pyramids are equally spaced about 35 miles apart on the west side of the Gulf Stream.


    To add to the mystery, three other underwater pyramids have been seen on the east side of the Gulf Stream. Those are 25 to 30 miles apart and located near Walkers Cay, Great Sale Cay and the Berry Islands of the Bahamas.\ Typically, the underwater pyramids have been seen after violent storms have temporarily swept away some of the sand covering the ancient structures.
