Doggerland, a huge area of dry land that stretched from Scotland to Denmark was slowly submerged by water between 18,000 BC and 5,500 BC. Divers from oil companies have found remains of a 'drowned world' with a population of tens of thousands - which might once have been the 'real heartland' of Europe.

Have enormous megaliths been discovered in Southern Siberia, or are they a rare product of nature? A series of incredible photographs have been released by Dr Valery Uvarov, Head of the Department of Palaeoscience, Palaeotechnology, and UFO Research of the National Security Academy of Russia, following an expedition to the mountains of Gornaya Shoria in Southern Siberia. The photographs appear to depict a set of enormous megaliths and Dr Uvarov is convinced they are man-made structures. Others, however, have argued that they are simple a rare example of the power and wonder of Mother Nature. An expedition headed by Georgy Sidorov was undertaken a team of 19 researchers following information about the existence of a large number of strange megalithic objects on Gornaya Shoria, a mountain reaching 1,100 metres above sea level, and situated in a remote part of Russia which had previously been blocked off by checkpoints during the era of the Soviet Union.

'Grand Canyon' Discovered Beneath Antarctic Ice - The drop is so severe and the rift so long, scientists knew they'd found something exciting immediately. - The scientists were hoping to discover why the region had higher-than-average melt. - The rift may be part to blame for the melting. If it extends into the warmer sea, it could cause more rapid glacial deterioration. A dramatic gash in the surface of the Earth that could rival the majesty of the Grand Canyon has been discovered secreted beneath Antarctica's vast, featureless ice sheet. Dubbed the Ferrigno Rift for the glacier that fills it, the chasm's steep walls plunge nearly a mile down (1.5 kilometers) at its deepest. PHOTOS: Antarctica Mission: Lost in the Ice The rift was discovered during a grueling 1,500-mile (2,400 km) trek that, save for a few modern conveniences, hearkens back to the days of early Antarctic exploration.

The temple complex of Raqchi | notesfromcamelidcountry Having been in Peru for a couple of weeks and spending most of our time amongst ancient Inca ruins I feel like this blog has gotten a bit too archaeological. However, on our way from Cusco to Puno we stopped off at a quite different but equally wonderful set of Inca ruins in Raqchi. I guess that is the thing about the Incas, they constructed an amazing array of towns, forts and ceremonial centres in little more than a century of empire building and they are everywhere you go in Peru. Set amidst beautiful countryside and surrounded by imposing mountains on a clear, crisp morning Raqchi is an impressive and moving sight, and one that could be easily overlooked as you speed past the modern-day village on the road between Cusco and Puno. Temple complex at Raqchi, Peru Raqchi was a major religious centre and home to a temple complex and palace that housed the great and the good of the Inca world.

Ancient Antigravity Machine Discovered. | Beyond Science (Before It's News) This extraordinary ancient megalithic site which I discovered in 2009 while looking for another site, is all but unknown and even among those who do know it there is scarcely a one who has grasped its true meaning and significance. It is unique and has so many remaining features and wonders it will be impossible to describe them all in this short post, however I will try and list some of these. I . Giant Sphinx like face complete with “Egyptian” headress which most people strangely miss from a main NSW state highway (2 lane, outback). 2. 3. 4. 5. The cups themselves measure approximately 3-4 inches wide and 3-4 inches protusion from the petrified surface and 2- 2 1/2 inches between each. ’X-ray?’ 6. 7. The above water basins, lid, stone steps with stone sides, has since been destroyed by the powers that be, who often seem to know when I go there, and bombard me with chemtrails from the air within an hour or even sometimes before and after my arrival and departure. 9. 10.

Prehistoric North Sea 'Atlantis' hit by 5m tsunami 30 April 2014Last updated at 20:28 ET By Paul Rincon Science editor, BBC News website A prehistoric "Atlantis" in the North Sea may have been abandoned after being hit by a 5m tsunami 8,200 years ago. The wave was generated by a catastrophic subsea landslide off the coast of Norway. Analysis suggests the tsunami over-ran Doggerland, a low-lying landmass that has since vanished beneath the waves. "It was abandoned by Mesolithic tribes about 8,000 years ago, which is when the Storegga slide happened," said Dr Jon Hill from Imperial College London.

Searching for Doggerland When signs of a lost world at the bottom of the North Sea first began to appear, no one wanted to believe them. The evidence started to surface a century and a half ago, when fishermen along the Dutch coast widely adopted a technique called beam trawling. They dragged weighted nets across the seafloor and hoisted them up full of sole, plaice, and other bottom fish. But sometimes an enormous tusk would spill out and clatter onto the deck, or the remains of an aurochs, woolly rhino, or other extinct beast. The fishermen were disturbed by these hints that things were not always as they are. What they could not explain, they threw back into the sea. Generations later a resourceful amateur paleontologist named Dick Mol persuaded the fishermen to bring him the bones and note the coordinates of where they had found them. The story of that vanished land begins with the waning of the ice. First, there are the treasures brought up in the fishermen’s nets.

Michael Tellinger: 200,000 Year Old Cities Discovered In Africa that Confirm Zecharia Sitchin’s Writings [video] In this fascinating interview with George Noory, scientist and author Michael Tellinger discusses his study of ancient ruins at the southern tip of Africa that are over 200,000 years old. Tellinger believes that the area was once inhabited by ET visitors known as (from the works of Zecharia Sitchin) the Annunaki, who came to Earth to mine gold. The ruins, which he’s investigated along with Johan Heine, consist of thousands of stone structures over a large area. The structures show evidence of their extreme antiquity through erosion and patina growth, he explained. One of the most important ruins Tellinger talks about is known as “Adam’s Calendar” – a monolithic stone calendar that mark time out by the day. Tellinger believes that it is the oldest man-made structure on Earth – dating back at least 75,000 years. The Annunaki tinkered with human genetics to make their mine workers, Tellinger said, referencing the work of Zecharia Sitchin. About Michael Tellinger

Dr. Robert Schoch and Alternative Human History | Earth's International Research Society E.I.R.S. has teamed up with Geologist and University Professor Dr. Robert Schoch in our research efforts of Alternative World History. Our true human history is slowly coming to discovery through the extensive researches of geologists and geophysicists like Robert Schoch. Evidence points to civilizations existing thousands of years beyond what our school books say they do. Here, together with E.I.R.S., Dr. Schoch explains a very important message we both would like to share about what his 20+ years of research has discovered and why it is so important for us to know today.

Some of the stones display clear edges and angles. What Was the Sphinx? Robert Temple, New DawnWaking Times There has never been a satisfactory answer to what the Sphinx actually is or was. Anyone who goes to Giza can see for himself or herself that there is something ‘wrong’ with the Sphinx. It only takes an instant. The body is gigantic and the head is just a pimple. There are several other things wrong with the Sphinx. The back is flat. None of this makes any sense if you think about it. But when my wife Olivia and I first saw the Sphinx many years ago, we just stood there in astonishment and both agreed that the whole thing was wrong, wrong, wrong. So now after many years of work, we think we have found some answers. Let me first declare my position on what has become something of an entrenched notion amongst my fellow anti-Establishmentarians. I do believe that the Sphinx is older than conventionally believed. So what is the answer, then? Sphinx Island & Moat So I think the Sphinx was, amongst other things, an island! Whose Head is on the Sphinx? But wait!

The Bucegi mountain secrets - Hidden From Humanity. Ancient tunnels reveal our true history This page contains excerpts of the discovery plus two years of my research finding confirmations throughout history... In the summer of 2003, in an unexplored area of the Bucegi mountains in Romania, an epochal discovery was found that would completely change the destiny of mankind. Section "I" contains excerpts from the book. Section "II" onwards is my own research regarding this discovery. I apologise in advance for such a lengthy page but some things cannot be explained in a few sentences. To prevent this page from being five times longer I have only covered the absolute basics for each section of my own research but anyone who wishes to discuss this further can click here contact me. Sections on this page I. There are 4 primary tunnels and further sub tunnels that lead to deep underground places which you would have heard of. What happened in Romania Ground-penetrating radar The satellite scan of the mountain revealed two major energetic blocks. A similar structure in Iraq “Exactly!” 1.

Adorable Mini-Me Photography - Animals with Miniature Versions of Themselves is Too Cute for Words If the Internet were to crash and burn tomorrow, it is a huge possibility that people would fall to their knees in pure despair because they would be missing out on photo series such as this one involving animals with miniature versions of themselves. Cats and other cute creatures have dominated the World Wide Web for so long, people probably wouldn't know how to brighten up their days if they couldn't catch a glimpse of a hamster's butt or what Maru was up to that day. Compiled by Redditor SteveV91, the series of animals with miniature versions of themselves could possibly be cuter than those two combined. The pairs are so alike, its almost eerie. Whether being affectionate or simply relaxing in each other's company, nothing can be sweeter.
