At first, it seems that this barren, desolate land could hold no interest to the world, but in reality there are many parties interested in what Antarctica has to offer.

But, the nature of these attractions is rather exotic and kept under a strict veil of secrecy. In fact, if anyone held some interest in this southernmost continent, it would probably be because one of the world’s best-preserved secrets is kept buried under there.

Unlike the Arctic region, which consists of a series of islands scattered across an ice cap above the Arctic Ocean, Antarctica is a veritable continent with icy mountains and land forms buried beneath kilometers of frozen water.

For modern man, Antarctica is a relatively novel land. The actual landmass had been discovered in 1911 by the Norwegians. Twelve states had further asembled expeditions that came back with rewarding results.

The Antarctic Treaty from 1959 had suddenly put a hold to any exploitations that were about to occur in the region, and suddenly Antarctica was declared a safe heaven.

It was something that they had encountered there that made them act in the detriment of of their national interest, considering that a reservoire of untouched natural resources was lying about.

The initial treaty had been signed by twelve states that were previously active in the Antarctic during the International Geophysical Year, among them reminding the US, the Soviet Union, Japan, Norway, the UK, Argentina and France.

Since then, the interested parties have coined a really dull and tedious image of this unexplored continent.

First scientific expeditions from the 90s returned with evidence showing that Antarctica had once been a tropical paradise. But, according to modern scholars, that was around 14 million years ago, and on top of that, they have no clue how the ice came about.

And here’s where we can first smell the cover-up. Not long ago, two ancient maps of Antarctica were discovered, both showing the continent without its massive ice sheet. The Orontius Finaeus is one of these documents. It pictures Antarctica while ice-free, with land forms such as mountain ranges, valleys and rivers.

What’s interesting is that, prior to the Chinese detailed radar survey from 2005, scientists knew more about the geography of the Martian surface than of the Earth’s own South Pole.

When comparing the detailed survey to the Orontius Finaeus map, it all matched almost perfectly. The mountains were there, the valleys, and the shape of Antarctica was also accordingly.

And thus the following questions have arisen: Could Antarctica have been a tropical paradise much earlier than what mainstream scholars have suggested? Were humans mounting expeditions to this land when it had been warm and had supported life?

If so, than there’s a great discrepancy between the timeline presented by scientists and the actual reality. Based on the aforementioned maps, but not limited to that, the Antarctic region could have been a hospitable place not millions, but rather tens of thousands, if not thousands of years ago.

Is there a pole shift missing from this equation? A great cataclysm that had triggered the cooling mechanism of Antarctica? Or rather a huge anomaly that’s been resting beneath the ice for ages, keeping the continent frozen for some unknown and truly bewildering reason?

The post Antarctica Riddles—What Mainstream Science is Trying To Hide [EP1] appeared first on Alien Policy.

Since birth, people are hard-wired to adhere to a dogmatic reality with a narrow view of the world. As time passes, evidence contradicting this paradigm is brought to our attention, and so we rapidly adjust our way of thinking to a bigger picture that doesn’t appear to be framed, nor acknowledged by modern understanding.

One of the most substantial examples is that of ancient sailors who were apparently able to traverse the planet from one pole to another. These people  had advanced knowledge in many fields, and were able to produce precise charts of the world using an instrument of navigation for accurately determining longitudes that was beyond anything possessed by either of the ancient, medieval, or modern people up until the 18th century.

Because of this evidence that cannot be in any way hindered or disproved, we can assume that a long-forgotten civilization thrived on this earth in remote times. Evidence is mounting in this direction, and those who reject this hypothesis as mere myth will soon have to rethink and redesign the entire concept of human history.

Among the many paradigm contradicting pieces is the Oronteus Finaeus map. Published in 1531, it displays Antarctica free of ice, together with accurate depictions of rivers, valleys, coastlines, and the approximate location of the south pole. It also gives the appropriate longitudinal coordinates. Keep in mind that Antarctica was barely discovered (at least by modern standards) in 1773, after Captain James Cook and his crew reached the islands of the Antarctic Circle, but none set foot on the actual landmass until the Norwegian expedition in 1911.

This could mean two things. Either the presented map is an elaborate forgery, and as you’re about to see this comes out of the question, or human beings are once again rediscovering a land and knowledge that was once lost to the infamy of time. This, in turn, adds to a greater pile of ‘controversial’ evidence that hints at the very same thing – the existence of an advanced civilization before or during the last ice age.

The highlighted world-map was drawn by Oronteus Finaeus in 1531. It compiled various source maps that made it out of the great library of Alexandria during the ruthless siege of Egypt. Those sources originated from a peoples unknown that allegedly passed down the information from one generation to another. Egyptian cartographers who studied that information made various charts that were transferred to Constantinopole and other cultural centers after the siege of Alexandria.

The maps were stored there until 1204 when, during the Fourth Crusade, Venetians besieged Constantinopole and numerous valuable resources fell into their hands. Since then, the charts made it into circulation because they showed never before reached areas such as the Americas, Arctic and Antarctic seas.

Charles Hapgood, an esteemed American writer and professor, came across the intriguing chart during his early studies in the 90s. After devoting a great deal of time analyzing it, he reached the aforementioned conclusions. Although the scientific community couldn’t agree with his paradigm-shattering finds, he carried on with his investigation that eventually yielded the expected results. Here is an excerpt from his work on the Oronteus Finaeus map.

The general shape of the continent was startlingly like the outline of the continent on our modern map. The position of the South Pole, nearly in the center of the continent, seemed about right. The mountain ranges that skirted the coasts suggested the numerous ranges that have been discovered in Antarctica in recent years.

It was obvious, too, that this was no slapdash creation of somebody’s imagination. The mountain ranges were individualized, some definitely coastal and some not. From most of them rivers were shown flowing into the sea, following in every case what looked like very very natural and very convincing drainage patterns. This suggested, of course, that the coasts may have been ice-free when the original map was drawn.”

In 1960, Professor Hapgood delivered his findings to the US Air Force which performed a thorough analysis of both the Oronteus Finaeus map and the Piri Rei’s map of the Turkish Admiral.

In 1961, he received a response that would please him and further confirm his beliefs, although the rooted conceptions of the scientific community remained unchanged.

Nevertheless, the idea of a timeworn and ‘modern’ civilization that existed before our current timeline transformed into a solid pillar, hard, if not impossible to crack.

The below transcript received by Professor Hapgood from the US Air Force investigation team represents the culminating point of this investigation due to its official nature.

Keene, N.H.

Dear Professor Hapgood:

It is not very often that we have an opportunity to evaluate maps of ancient origin. The Piri Reis (1513) and Oronteus Fineaus [sic] (1531) maps sent to us by you, presented a delightful challenge, for it was not readily conceivable that they could be so accurate without being forged. With added enthusiasm we accepted this challenge and have expended many off duty hours evaluating your manuscript and the above maps. I am sure you will be pleased to know we have concluded that both of these maps were compiled from accurate original source maps, irrespective of dates. The following is a brief summary of our findings:

A. The solution of the portolano projection used by Admiral Piri Reis, developed by your class in Anthropology, must be very nearly correct; for when known geographical locations are checked in relationship to the grid computed by Mr. Richard W. Strachan (MIT), there is remarkably close agreement. Piri Reis’ use of the portolano projection (centered on Syene, Egypt) was an excellent choice, for it is a developable surface that would permit the relative size and shape of the earth (at that latitude) to be retained. It is our opinion that those who compiled the original map had an excellent knowledge of the continents covered by this map.

B. As stated by Colonel Harold Z. Ohlmeyer in his letter (July 6, 1960) to you, the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Laud, Antarctica, appears to be truly represented on the southern sector of the Piri Reis map. The agreement of the Piri Reis Map with the seismic profile of this area made by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Expedition of 1949, supported by your solution of the grid, places beyond a reasonable doubt the conclusion that the original source maps must have been made before the present Antarctic ice cap covered the Queen Maud Land coasts.

C. It is our opinion that the accuracy of the cartographic features shown in the Oronteus Fineaus [sic] Map (1531) suggests, beyond a doubt, that it also was compiled from accurate source maps of Antarctica, but in this case of the entire continent. Close examination has proved the original source maps must have been compiled at a time when the land mass and inland waterways of the continent were relatively free of ice. This conclusion is further supported by a comparison of the Oronteus Fineaus [sic] Map with the results obtained by International Geophysical Year teams in their measurements of the subglacial topography. The comparison also suggests that the original source maps (compiled in remote antiquity) were prepared when Antarctica was presumably free of ice. The Cordiform Projection used by Oronteus Fineaus [sic] suggests the use of advanced mathematics. Further, the shape given to the Antarctic continent suggests the possibility, if not the probability, that the original source maps were compiled on a stereographic or gnomic type of projection (involving the use of spherical trigonometry).

D. We are convinced that the findings made by you and your associates are valid, and that they raise extremely important questions affecting geology and ancient history, questions which certainly require further investigation.

We thank you for extending us the opportunity to have participated in the study of these maps. The following officers and airmen volunteered their time to assist Captain Lorenzo W. Burroughs in this evaluation: Captain Richard E. Covault, CWO Howard D. Minor, MSgt Clifton M. Dover, MSgt David C. Carter, TSgt James H. Hood, SSgt James L. Carroll, and A1C Don R. Vance.

The above transcript is not the sole piece of official evidence gathered in support of his claims. Professor Hapgood received other fascinating letters from MIT, and Cambridge university, as well as other correspondence between the Turkish embassy and the US State Department.

More ancient and mysterious maps are presented in his book written in 1966 – Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings.

The post According to This Map, The Ancients Used to Transit The Entire World Using Advanced Technology appeared first on Alien Policy.

The Mayans had a strong connection with the gods, and because of this, they had to bring the ultimate offering in the form of human sacrifices to please their creators. Victims were mostly children or elites captured during conflicts with neighboring clans, but other ornamental objects of great value plundered during their conquest were also discovered inside sacrificial pits.

For their offerings to reach the underworld effectively, Mayan religious rulers were using certain cenotes which they considered sacred. A particular ‘cenote sagrado,’ translated as ‘sacred well,’ or ‘Well of Sacrifice’ is located near the archaeological site of Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

Its unusual particularities such as the circular design, openness to the sky, extended diameter and depth, sacred significance, as well as its location near the Maya metropolis of Chichen Itza – meaning “at the mouth of the well of Itza,” have made numerous seekers of alternative knowledge wonder if this sacred cenote hasn’t played a different role other than its conventional sacrificial purpose.

A cenote is considered a natural sinkhole resulted from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes the groundwater below. There are over 6,000 different cenotes in the Yucatan Peninsula, although most of them are small and don’t necessarily have surface-exposed water. They connect the outside world to subterranean water bodies that usually extend for several miles through underwater complex cave systems. Water inside these wells is most of the time extremely clear.

The once-sacred Ik Kil cenote is 200 feet (60 metres) in diameter and 130 feet (40 metres) deep. A carved stairway leads inside this underground basin. For modern humans, this particular cenote represents a tourist hot-spot; it served a ritualistic purpose to the Mayas, while for other, more ancient civilizations, we can only guess.

However, this site differentiates itself from the rest of the natural wells in the Yucatan Peninsula mostly because of its colossal proportions and shape. Because of this, alternative historians have grown suspicions of it being an abandoned rocket silo from the distant past, or even the scar left behind by a meteorite. Let’s explore the possibilities.

Alternative history speaks of Antediluvian civilizations which thrived before the ‘Great Flood’ event. These peoples are allegedly responsible for erecting pyramids in various corners of the world, and are also regarded as inventors of flying machines and other technologically advanced devices.

It’s possible that these advanced forefathers had terraformed the Earth before leaving the planet in their rocket ships, just before the impending global cataclysm was about to occur. Proof of their rise and mysterious demise is constantly found across the globe.

Numerous civilizations have kept their ancestors’ legacy alive through imposing structures, carvings, paintings, figurines and various other artifacts depicting humans in spacesuits, flying devices, as well as strange-looking beings for which our cultural paradigm cannot, or doesn’t want to give an explanation.

The Sumerian King List, together with the Egyptian pharaohs timeline, extend to a time when the so-called gods walked on this planet. Ancient civilizations had advanced astronomy and astrology knowledge, thus reflecting their superior knowledge of celestial bodies and cosmic events.

Other irrefutable evidence of this long-forgotten past is the advanced cartography knowledge the ancients possessed. Besides mapping the entire globe, they used the notion of longitude long before it was invented by our modern predecessors.

With this in mind, we can safely assume that pre-flood peoples had a keen interest in reaching the stars because they had already terraformed this planet, and it’s possible that such an achievement had been claimed.

Proof of interplanetary expanse can be traced across various places and epochs, and the sacred well near Chichen Itza could be a spot demonstrating just that. It’s ample diameter, circular shape and linear cut in the limestone differentiate it from all the other natural cenotes. Could this hole have been artificially carved out so that a rocket may fit in there?

Another factor is the murky water found inside this well. In most cenotes the water is very clear because the rainwater filtering through the ground contains very few impurities and the groundwater has a constant water flow that helps keep the basin clean. Because of this, cenotes had a more practical value for the Mayans, who used them to fill their water supply needs or for relaxation. But not the Ik Kil sacred well. This one in particular was reserved for ceremonial purposes.

When Edward Herbert Thompson had dived inside the sacred well in 1909, accompanied by two Greek divers from the Bahamas, he reported reduced visibility due to the murky water. Upon reaching the bottom of the cenote, he discovered a 16 feet (5 meter) layer of blue pigment covering the ground, among other particularities.

[The bottom] was full of long narrow cracks, radiating from centers as if the glass bottom of a dish had been broken by a pointed instrument,” Thompson said in his report. “We found down in the cracks and holes a greyish mud in which were imbedded the heavier gold objects, jades, and copper bells in numbers.”

With so many out of place features, the sacred cenote in Chichen Itza is sure to raise numerous question marks. Is it really a naturally-occurring sinkhole? Or is it rather the place from where a timeworn civilization had departed with its spaceship in the distant past? Is this sacred well the leftover remain of an abandoned rocket silo?

A second hypothesis hints at another cataclysmic event which occurred in the Yucatan Peninsula – the fall of a 10-km-radius meteorite that had ended the dinosaurs age about 65 million years ago. It fell not far from here, at the site of Chicxulub, and it’s possible that smaller pieces that were torn off from the main boulder have formed this sacred well.

Whatever the case, if we compare all the traits of a cenote with those of this sacred Maya well, we encounter many discrepancies that only make us wonder about its true origins and purpose. We won’t probably receive the craved answer from authorities, but this rapidly shifting world offers more and more clues that life on Earth may be cyclic.

That’s why Elon Musk is preparing for his final departure to Mars in the years to come. Will history repeat itself? What do you think to be the case?

A mysterious island became known to European sailors that traversed the seas hundreds of years ago. It was called Hy-Brasil, a place rumored to have been the residence of an advanced race of humanoids with otherworldly powers. The island appears on various maps from as early as 1325 and into the 1800s, and is located around 200 miles (321km) off the west coast of Ireland.

Some sailors went on an endeavour to find the island, but apparently it only showed up randomly, and its exact coordinates vary most of the time, although it was reported in the same area of the North Atlantic Ocean. In Irish folklore, Hy-Brasil was said to be veiled in dense mist, except for a single day every seven years when it turned visible, but was still unreachable without the ability to climb or fly.

Its name is derived from the word ‘Breasal,’ which translates as ‘High King of the world’ in Celtic dialect. First cartographer to mark it on map in 1325 was Genoese cartographer Angelino Dulcert. He used the term ‘Bracile,’ but further on, in 1375, the Catalan Atlas referred to the isle as ‘Illa de brasil’ and illustrated it as two distinct islands.

It continued to abound its mystery when, in 1436, it appeared in the Venetian map of cartographer Andrea Bianco as ‘Sola De Brasil.’ The isle was again present in 1595 on the Ortelius Map of Europe and Europa Mercator Map, and also on different other charts in the years that followed, although its whereabouts differed slightly.

Intrigued by what they could find upon reaching Hy-Brasil, sailors voyaged to its alleged location in numbers. Records speak of John Jay Jr. who departed from Bristol, England, in 1480, and had spent two weeks at sea before returning with his hopes shattered. In 1481 was the turn of Trinity and George who took off with two ships from the same location in England, only to return empty handed like their predecessor.

Not all voyagers from Bristol were unlucky though, as one of the records remind of Spanish diplomat Pedro de Ayala who told the Catholic Monarchs of Spain about John Cobot (first European to visit North America since the Vikings) and his successful attempt to find the notorious island.

Another fortunate sailor was Scottish sea captain, John Nesbet, who stumbled across Hy-Brasil while traveling from France to Ireland in the year 1674. Upon seeing the illustrious isle, he is said to have sent a four-man crew to its shores. The sailors had allegedly enjoyed a full day on the island.

According to the captain’s tale, the crew met an elderly man who offered them gold and silver. The cherry(s) on top of the cake that dazzled the sailors were the big black rabbits and the mysterious magician encountered there. They were said to reside inside a massive fortification made of stone.

Although the story was probably hard to digest even by the people living in those times, there was a second expedition led by Alexander Johnson which took place about the same time and confirms Nisbet’s testimonial.

Nothing is mentioned about the bizarre island until 1872, when Robert O’Flaherty and T.J Westropp claimed to have set foot there once. In fact, Westropp mentioned about him visiting Hy-Brasil on three other occasions. So that people would believe his claims, he brought his entire family there to witness the baffling isle with their own eyes.

Hy-Brasil appears in numerous myths, and on various maps, so it’s likely that at least a grain of truth resides at the bottom of this story. Some say the isle is home of Irish gods, others believed it to be inhabited by an advanced civilization. Although no modern records remind of Hy-Brasil, nor does it appear on nautical charts, there is one event in recent history that makes a direct reference to it.

In what is known as the ‘Britain’s Roswell incident,’ a military official received the coordinates of Hy-Brasil in the most peculiar way. After a bizarre craft was seen outside a US military base in the Rendlesham forest, UK, in close proximity to a nuclear facility, Sergent Jim Pennistone went on to investigate and actually discovered a flying saucer. Upon touching it, a telepathic message consisting of 16 pages of binary code was imprinted to his mind.

After Penniston had translated the code in the years that followed, he found various coordinates sending to iconic places such as the Pyramid of Giza and the Nazca Lines. What is more peculiar is that the top and bottom of the transcript began with the coordinates of Hy-Brasil, or at least the place commonly referred to by sailors across the ages. An unexplained origin year of 8100 was also part of the decoded message.

There are various charts revealing the mysterious Hy-Brasil, but since no recent evidence of its existence has recently been found, mainstream historians refer to the case as one of mistaken identity or location.

Other enthusiast cartographers allude that Hy-Brasil could have been the so-called Porcupine Bank, an island discovered in 1862 that only made itself noticed when the tides were extremely low. Some historians hint at the end of the last Ice Age, when sea level worldwide was much lower. In this case, it’s possible that Hy-Brasil was a reminder of an actual mythical place that survived the test of time through those who vividly reminded of it, one generation after another.

Whatever the case, the puzzle of this fabled island will further intrigue those who seek to know more about our ancient past, because it could be a reminder of an alternative historical version of the world we live in.

The post Hy-Brasil—The Mysterious Phantom Island Rumored to Have Harboured an Advanced Civilization appeared first on Alien Policy.

Towards the end of the 19^th century, English geologist Philip Sclater had coined the idea of a submerged continent named Lemuria. Although such a belief was not so novel, the researcher provided evidence that would even be approved by the scientific community at that time.

In an article entitled ‘The Mammals of Madagascar,’ Sclater noted that lemur fossils were abundant in Madagascar and India, whlist in mainland Africa and Middle East there were none. Based on this observation, he proposed that India and Madagascar formed at some point in time a broader continent, and reffered to it as ‘Lemuria.’

Science later adopted the idea of continental drift, so a submerged continent would have been less probable by the new standards. Even so, the concept of a submerged ancient land remains viable, as there are numerous enigmas residing in the area which point in that direction.

The first anomalous area which hints at a mythical continent of Lemuria is ‘Adam’s Bridge,’ also known as ‘Rama’s bridge’ after its legendary builder. What remains of it is a mysterious string of sand combined with pebbles stretching over an 18-miles-area from mainland India to Sri Lanka. It was first considered a natural formation, but satellite images released by NASA revealed that it could be in fact a collapsed bridge underneath the ocean’s surface.

The legend has it that Rama constructed a colossal bridge that would transport his army of Vanara, or ape-men, across the water mass separating his kingdom from the island of Lanka where his wife Sita was held captive. It could be just a tale, but it’s more likely that it has some truth in it considering that the mysterious remains resemble a submerged bridge.

The Tamil people are an ethnic group who strongly believe in the existence of Lemuria, although they have their own term for it, namely Kumari Kandam. Tamil population numbers over 76 million people at present. They are spread throughout Sri Lanka, India, Mauritius, Singapore and Malaysia, and their language is considered among the oldest written dialects in the world.

According to their genesis story, they are descendants of the old Pandiyan kings which ruled over a portion of land that was swallowed by the ocean in ancient times.

Tamils claim their ancestors’ kingship was spread all across the Indian continent, and their civilization is the oldest in the world. When Kumari Kandam was flooded, its dwellers scattered in all directions and contributed to the foundation of many civilizations that followed. Because of this, it is believed that this long-forgotten and submerged continent was the cradle of human civilization.

According to geologists, the Lemurian continent had been divided somewhere towards the end of the Mesozoic era because of the rising waters. India’s National Institute if Oceanography revealed in a study that sea level was 100 meters lower approximately 14,500 years ago, and it gradually went up because of global warming until periodic floods covered a considerable portion of the landmass. In turn, this led to the disappearance of many coastal civilizations, in our case Lemuria, or Kumari Kandam.

The equator regions have always been most prone to natural catastrophes like earthquakes and volcano eruptions,” explained Professor Karsten M. Storetved, University of Bergen in Norway.

These tectonic processes played an important role in the disappearance of the ancient continent known as Lemuria to western scholars. Sri Lanka, together with India, Indonesia and Malaysia were part of this continent. Many islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans are remnants of this continent that in ancient times covered the whole area of today’s ocean.”

…descriptions of cataclysm in early literature when land suddenly went underwater are logical. But they should be proven to be scientific facts. This can be done with the help of sea-floor analysis that is possible to carry out. Modern theories find supportive evidence, both in ancient literature and language history…”

With so much technology at hand, it would seem a reasonable task to discover the ruins of this fabled continent, but the bottom of the ocean is an inhospitable place with frequent transitions resulting from volcanic activity, earthquakes and erosion. It may be that we’ll never discover the ruins of ancient Lemuria, but legends about it will continue to surf the planet in this new age of information.

And who knows, maybe one day every individual will have the possibility to become an amateur archaeologist, and eventually bring to light crucial facets of our long-forgotten ancestry.

The post Various Clues Show That the Fabled Continent of Lemuria Actually Existed appeared first on Alien Policy.

After closely analyzing the map of cosmic microwave background, an anomalous region showed up on radar, and is presumed to be the imprint of a parallel universe which is co-existing with our own.

Until recent years, the scientific community believed the universe to be everything there is, from all that surrounds us to the vastness of space, time, matter and the laws of physics. However, a new word – multiverse, entered the scene.

The term involves an undefined number of universes that are constantly being born, each of them co-existing and possessing unique laws of physics. Although not every scientist agrees with it, there are prominent names who support this hypothesis, such as Stephen Hawking and Alan Guth of MIT.

After studying the cosmic microwave background released by the European Space Agency (ESA,) Ranga-Ram Chary, a researcher at the U.S. Planck Data Center at CalTech, discovered an unusual glowing patch that he considers to be the leftover imprint of a parallel universe.

The cosmic microwave background represents stagnant radiation from the Big Bang. ESA’s Planck space observatory was specially designed to provide more insight about this radiation. Scientists at ESA then created a detailed map with the data gathered between 2009 and 2013.

Chary discovered a peculiar signal from one of the areas of the map that was about 4,500 times brighter than it should have been. After further analysis, he concluded that it may be an imprint from a parallel universe, which at some point in time bumped into our own.

… it could also possibly be due to the collision of our universe with an alternate universe,” Chary said. 

But since the scientific community is not entirely convinced of the “multiverse” theory, Chary also pointed out that the bizarre spot could be a result of noise, although he admitted there’s only a 30% chance for that. He stated the following in an email:

One has to trust the data since Nature has a way of surprising us with the unexpected. But for something as unusual as alternate universes, one needs at least two independent lines of evidence. Right now, we have only one, and it is currently right at the limit of the current data from Planck.”

Below is the map released by ESA. It shows tiny temperature fluctuations that correspond to regions of slightly different densities in the early days of our universe: the seeds of future galaxies and stars. The encircled region is where the imprint of the other universe was discovered.

To better understand the idea of multiverse,  let’s have a look an an excerpt from The New York Times.

“…according to the standard model, shortly after the universe exploded into existence about 14 billion years ago, it suddenly humped in size by an enormous factor. This ‘inflation’ can best be understood by imagining that the observable universe is, relatively speaking, a tiny blob of space buried deep within a vast labyrinth of interconnected cosmic regions.

Under this theory, if you took a God’s-eye view of the multiverse, you would see big bangs aplenty generating a tangled melee of universes enveloped in a supercluster of frenetically inflating space.Though individual universes may live and die, the multiverse is forever.”

According to previous studies, if two universes sprouted out close enough to each other that they touched before the expanding space separated them, an imprint from both sides would be left behind. This mark would then be visible on the cosmic microwave background similar to how a scar or bruise is left on our bodies.

Scientists haven’t found a way to make contact with the foreign universe yet, but Chary believes that its existence may have deep implications for our universe, meaning that it may shape the reality we find ourselves into.

The fine-tuning of initial conditions required to reproduce our present day Universe suggests that our universe may merely be a region within an eternally inflating super-region.Many other regions could exist beyond our observable Universe with each such region governed by a different set of physical parameters than the ones we have measured for our Universe.

Collision between these regions, if they occur, should leave signatures of antisotropy in the cosmic microwave background,” Chary concluded.

More studies need to be conducted until certain conclusions can be drawn, but the possibility of a parallel universe where humans have built a different reality from our own is truly remarkable.

Maybe one day we’ll be able to jump from one reality to another, and if that day arrives, I’ll make sure to exchange some relevant ideas with my mirror-self.

The post Researchers Find Traces of a Parallel Universe that Had Once Collided With Our Own appeared first on Alien Policy.

There is mounting evidence of civilizations with advanced capabilities that could travel the entire globe in the distant past. As history is being decoded, we discover that our “primitive forefathers” had the luxury to set sail all across the globe, enjoy freedom in its own right, and above all, their deeds outscored much of what we’ve achieved using modern-day techniques. These long-forgotten peoples not only possessed advanced knowledge and technology, but they also lived in a world different than that pictured by history today.

With the ice sheet of Antarctica getting thinner by the year, a number of peculiar formations have made it out to light. Sheer mountains with perfect symmetry that strongly resemble pyramids have shook off the dense layer of snow and are now hinting at a distant Antarctic past where long-forgotten peoples roamed all over this now-desolate region, and allegedly had free access to travel the entire planet, from one pole to the other.

But this presumed archaic world relied on a different set of tools and understanding of its surroundings, as you are about to see in the following lines.

First off, let’s build a better understanding of this southernmost continent. A colossal ice sheet spanning over 14 million square kilometers covers 98% of its surface. To get a better picture, if you take Antarctica and place it on the map over North America, it will stretch all the way from the southernmost tip of Texas to the northernmost islands of Canada. The massive layer of ice is estimated to be around 2.8 miles thick in some areas, while the average temperatures of -55*C are preserving this place, while also keeping most of the living beings out.

With Antarctica being the world’s only completely uninhabited continent, it feels like there is nothing to see there other than the howling wind that’s picking at your body and face, and a few penguins to warm your heart. But, is it really as desolate there as they would want us to believe? Or is there more to it than meets the eye?

It is worth mentioning that the Antarctic was only discovered in 1911, when the Norwegians finally reached the South Pole after a battering race with the Brits. Beforehand, Captain James Cook and his crew had managed to reach the outskirts of this mysterious continent in 1773, when they discovered its nearby islands, but never made it to the actual landmass. It is now accepted that the South Pole had barely been reached at the beginning of the 20th century, and it was named Ant-arctic-a due to the previous discovery of the North Pole with its Arctic region. Lack of imagination?

After the Europeans reached this ancient and frozen land, various expeditions were sent to scout the area for resources. It is no hidden fact that the Nazis had a keen interest in the frozen desert, also the Americans under the guidance of Admiral Byrd, and many other groups and organizations throughout the years and until today. I’m not going to go into details about the secret bases that presumably still hide out there, but I’ll point out some other intriguing aspects.

After thoroughly analyzing the Antarctic surface, researchers have concluded that this desolate continent was once a tropical paradise. It included everything from sunny beaches, warm waters, to a lush environment that covered all the valleys and mountains. In the distant past, Antarctica was the perfect place to be around if you were an organic being dependent on warmth and other stimuli.

However, modern day science once again spoils the fun by asserting that such a period occurred tens of millions of years ago, and probably only furry mammals and other wildlife got the chance to make it out in this tropical paradise. For us humans, it remains what it is today, a frozen wasteland filled on the margins with penguins and other marine life. Now, here is where things become really interesting.

Not long ago, historians discovered two antique maps that reveal the Antarctic region while ice-free. One of the maps – that of Piri Reis, who was a renowned Turkish admiral from the sixteenth century, shows a portion of Antarctica known today as Queen Mauls Land completely ice-free; The other map – Oronteus Finaeucs, reveals the entire continent without ice. But how is that even possible if Antarctica was merely discovered a century ago? And more importantly, why is there no ice about?

To clear this out, let’s have a look at the first document. The map of Piri Reis was discovered in 1929, it was drawn on the skin of a gazelle, and analysis revealed that it is a genuine document drawn by Piri Reis’ subordinates in 1513. The admiral was an esteemed navy officer that enjoyed the privilege of having access to great places of knowledge. because of his Turkish origins, the place with most resources was the Imperial Library of Constantinople.

In his sailors logbook is mentioned that the map was compiled from numerous other source maps, some of them from as early as the fourth century BC, or even earlier. While some charts were drawn by  sailors contemporary to the admiral, others were collect from the Royal Library of Alexandria, the most important library of ancient times. Apparently, after its destruction, copies of documents together with some original source charts were taken to other important cultural centers, among them being Constantinople.

The knowledge remained locked away until 1204, the year of the fourth crusade. When the Venetians besieged Constantinople, an abundance of tomes and maps were snitched from the imperial Turkish library an fell into the hands of European sailors. Although most of the maps were of the Mediterranean and Black sea, there were others of the Americas, of the Arctic and the Antarctic Oceans. So, how can this be possible if the Antarctic landmass was only discovered in the 20th century?

Dr. Charles Hapgood, in his book “Maps of the Ancient Sea kings”, offers relevant insight about theses paradigm-contradicting facts:

It appears that accurate information has been passed down from people to people. It appears that the charts must have originated with a people unknown and they were passed on, perhaps by the Minoans and the Phoenicians, who were, for a thousand years and more, the greatest sailors of the ancient world. We have evidence that they were collected and studied in the great library of Alexandria and the compilations of them were made by the geographers who worked there…

It becomes clear that the ancient voyagers traveled from pole to pole. Unbelievable as it may appear, the evidence nevertheless indicates that some ancient people explored Antarctic when its coasts were free of ice. It is clear too, that they had an instrument of navigation for accurately determining the longitudes that was far superior to anything possessed by the peoples of ancient, medieval or modern times until the second half of the 18th century”

While the official science implies that the ice shelf that stretches over Antarctica is millions of years old, the Piri Reis map completely debunks this hypothesis, since the northern part of the continent had been mapped before there was any ice covering it. This means two things: either human beings with advanced charting capabilities existed millions years ago, which comes out of the question according to our currently accepted paradigm; either the map had been drawn thousands, if not tens of thousands of years ago, when humans still used advanced mapping techniques.

Taking into account the second hypothesis, it also contradicts with what modern-day science has to say about the first known civilization – the Sumerians. From what it is known, they appeared briskly in an area from the mid-east some 6,000 years ago, but possess no nautical or maritime skills. Interesting enough, they do speak of the ancient people who they treated as “gods” due to their unusual capabilities, and are referred to as the Anunnaki.

If we look at more recent studies of the Antarctic, we can see that the last ice-free period in the area is estimated to have ended approximately 6,000 years ago, meaning that some ancient sailors must have mapped the region beforehand. With this in mind, it appears that as far back as 4,000 BC, possibly even earlier, complex maps of the world existed.

These documents were later gathered for safekeeping inside the Library of Alexandria, indicating also that ancient Egyptian scholars were studying these timeworn heritages. With the destruction of this renowned cultural center, only a handful of tomes escaped the city, and the knowledge is now scattered and scarce. Fortunately, pieces of the puzzle are coming back together once more.

Stay tuned for the second part of the article that will shed even more light to the Antarctic riddle. Hint: Admiral E. Byrd has a say in what’s to come and a wreckage from WWII will show how scientists are concealing palpable evidence.
