Lost Civilizations: The Secret Histories and Suppressed Technologies of the Ancients by Jim Willis
Journal of Scientific Exploration, 2020
Lost Civilizations is at once intriguing but also challenging to all conventional wisdom. Perhaps that is as it should be and Willis certainly created an interesting compendium of mysterious archeological events combined with a generous exploration of mythology. Readers of the SSE Journal should know I am not a fan of the “Out of Africa” theory. There have been too many recent discoveries made to support the notion that human life began in a single remote location. We can think of the discovery of the Denisovan that interbred with hominids that did migrate from Africa. What Willis repeatedly points to is apparent DNA anomalies in which samples indicate connections between groups for which there is no logical explanation. As an example, there are traces in Australia that are commensurate with those from South America that must have occurred long before any known contact had happened. While Willis would agree, Lost Civilizations suggests the timelines may be off by many thousands of...
In Search of Ancient Gods (Aliens in Early Civilization
In early civilization, many infrastructures are created precisely without using any hi-tech equipment just like the tools that people are using today and proper measurement. There are theories about on how those masterpieces created. Maybe extraterrestrials helped ancients.
Asian religions as human intentions suffix, as suffixes protracts, abstractly, as believable the faith of many, including the nones, with Vedic Brahman mystic ritual cosmogonies of biological evolution feeding into Hindu origins taming Agni fire, using the goddess inside us to honour the god. The Buddha attracted centrifugal worshippers constructing gods and mythologies as meditation and ancient yoga trance posturing foci, notwithstanding the stress delusion pump where an extant god reigns within the land firstly demote the individual becoming the secondly. However, once stood upon the porch of Christianity, the gospel narrative, then the sacred text metamorphosises into the Jesus himself or herself, themselves if you can, to clasp the apparent infinite postmodern sociology follicles that pervade rational sequentialism, progressive history not with a Jack-in-the-box binomial blip pulling rip and angst in the cognitions and heart of true thinkers. No human contributor must pluralise ascetic philosophical absolutism to substantialise methodological relativism's method: a phrenology inquiry, which may not occur. Believing in fantasy is for morality, when for example a lover flies into the midnight ask to save their other self, but is the exodus of Ancient Israel wholly credible metaphorically? Archeological findings of biofacts, stratigraphic features, artifacts and textual data do scientifically show the OT to be true, false, or a parabolic point of reasonableness. Although excavations can perhaps be interpreted in any way, verification comes is from a localised analysis of trade with other localities, living and culture for an integrated comparative interpretation using other Ancient Near East Texts. Classical conservative minimalists did not imbue these archeological findings, so here now must we, because I believe neither did the new archeologist clad theologians on the whole thereafter.
The God Table: A New Origins Theory of Religion and Civilization
Archaeological Discovery Journal Vol 10 No 4, 2022
The writings of 1st century historian Flavius Josephus describe Adam’s vision of the earth’s destruction by flood and flame. Josephus also implies that Enoch, the first holy man and scribe, carved the Razah D’Oraytah (Secret of Knowledge) into stone pillars to preserve this Knowledge for posterity after the prophesied flood. This article introduces evidence that the archaeological discovery of Göbekli Tepe on the Turkish plains of Haran, inadvertently uncovered these legendary “Pillars of Enoch.” This article endeavors to decipher the Enochian “Secret of Knowledge” that is carved into the pillars and architecture of Göbekli Tepe as history’s first theological and mathematical “treatise.” This challenges Assyriologist Samuel Noah Kramer’s assertion that “Sumerian men of letters developed no literary genre comparable in any way to a systematic treatise of their philosophical, cosmological, and theological concepts.” (Kramer, 1981: p. 79). This explains why Abraham’s father Terah longed to spend his final years in Haran, and why he named one of his sons Haran. What ties Enoch’s pillars to Göbekli Tepe are the revelations carved into its pillars and architecture. The one text capable of revealing these secrets is the Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation, the only text attributed to Abraham. This text encrypts an ancient mathematical table known as the “231 Gates” (or “God Table”), which provides the underlying structure of the Abrahamic/Mosaic Word of God, יהוה , as well as Enoch’s Word of God. Both “Words” are rooted in the Luwian hieroglyphics for “God” and “Gate” that are carved into Göbekli Tepe’s “Blueprint of Creation.” This suggests that the pivot point between pre-history and history can be moved from the 4th millennium BCE invention of writing and mathematics to 10th millennium BCE Göbekli Tepe. These Göbekli Tepe revelations, including the DNA of its builders, enable us to trace civilization’s origins back to its Ethiopian founders.
Divine footprints. Traces of cosmological Archetypes and prehistoric Religion on the Rock Faces
According to our knowledge, carved footprints appear in a variety of prehistoric cultures and rock art sites during a period of 3,000–4,000 years. This indicates that the carved footprint represents a phenomenon that contains condensed symbolic information of an unusual significance, strength and lifespan. In that respect the foot-print might, just like the cup-mark, be seen as a pictogram or an archetypical symbol. It has been interpreted in different ways: as a sign of an invisible deity that could not be depicted but announced its presence by its footprint, as a sign of adoration or as representing a deceased person. However, this does not necessarily mean that the appearance of this symbol in the prehistoric record. And although this has its expression in the petroglyphs, it can also be said to represent an artistic perspective with a broad application. Illustrative examples from different complexes in Scandinavia, Italy and Israel from the Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Ages are presented and analyzed.
“Pseudoarchaeology—also known as alternative archaeology, fringe archaeology, fantastic archaeology, cult archaeology, and spooky archaeology—is the interpretation of the past from outside the archaeological science community, which rejects the accepted data gathering and analytical methods of the discipline. These pseudoscientific interpretations involve the use of artifacts, sites, or materials to construct scientifically insubstantial theories to supplement the pseudoarchaeologists’ claims. Methods include exaggeration of evidence, dramatic or romanticized conclusions, use of fallacy, and fabrication of evidence. Academic critics have pointed out that pseudoarchaeologists typically neglect to use the scientific method. Instead of testing the evidence to see what hypotheses it fits, pseudoarchaeologists “press-gang” the archaeological data to fit a “favored conclusion” that is often arrived at through hunches, intuition, or religious or nationalist dogma.” “Graham Bruce Hancock (born 2 August 1950) is a British writer who promotes pseudoscientific theories involving ancient civilizations and lost lands. Hancock speculates that an advanced ice age civilization was destroyed in a cataclysm, but that its survivors passed on their knowledge to hunter-gatherers, giving rise to the earliest known civilizations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Mesoamerica. Reviews of Hancock’s interpretations of archaeological evidence and historic documents have identified them as a form of pseudoarchaeology or pseudohistory that fit a preconceived conclusion by ignoring context, cherry picking or misinterpreting evidence, and withholding critical countervailing data. His writings have neither undergone scholarly peer review nor been published in academic journals.”
