Dear friends,
Winston Churchill is claimed to have said
"History is written by the victors." And the history of natural and
human evolution as described by experts in the field of archeology has changed dramatically
over the centuries. Below are key excerpts of important news articles
reported in the major media which include revealing information on both
suppressed history and forbidden archeology.
These
articles present astounding findings of great significance in these two
fields of study that have been almost completely ignored and even
suppressed. This powerfully revealing information raises serious questions for the established paradigms of both history and archeology.
In
medieval Europe, when the domineering Catholic church proclaimed that
the entire world was created around the year 4000 BC, admitting to a
belief in natural evolution could have gotten you burned at the stake.
In modern times, a scientist promoting evidence that developed
civilizations may have existed long before ancient Egypt will likely
result in his or her career going up in flames. Yet read below for an
abundance of intriguing evidence from reliable sources on both forbidden
archeology and suppressed history.

The
remains of what has been described as a huge lost city may force
historians and archaeologists to radically reconsider their view of
ancient human history. Marine scientists say archaeological remains
discovered 36 metres (120 feet) underwater in the Gulf of Cambay off the
western coast of India could be over 9,000 years old. The vast
city - which is five miles long and two miles wide - is believed to
predate the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by more than 5,000
years. Debris recovered from the site - including construction
material, pottery, sections of walls, beads, sculpture and human bones
and teeth has been carbon dated and found to be nearly 9,500 years old.
The city is believed to be even older than the ancient Harappan
civilisation, which dates back around 4,000 years. Author and film-maker
Graham Hancock - who has written extensively on the uncovering of
ancient civilisations [said,] "Cities on this scale are not known in the
archaeological record until roughly 4,500 years ago when the first big
cities begin to appear in Mesopotamia. Nothing else on the scale of the
underwater cities of Cambay is known. There's a huge
chronological problem in this discovery. It means that the whole model
of the origins of civilisation with which archaeologists have been
working will have to be remade from scratch," he said.
Note:
Dozens of manmade complexes found under the ocean have been found, yet
most archeologists are largely ignoring these finds as they don't fit
the academic consensus. For an interview with former Economist reporter Graham Hancock, who finds lots of solid, astounding evidence of a lost civilization, click here.
A
team of explorers working off the western coast of Cuba say they have
discovered what they think are the ruins of a submerged city built
thousands of years ago. Researchers from ... Canadian company
[Advanced Digital Communications] used sophisticated sonar equipment to
find and film stone structures more than 2,000 feet (650 metres) below
the sea's surface. The explorers first spotted the underwater
city last year, when scanning equipment started to produce images of
symmetrically organized stone structures reminiscent of an urban
development. In July, the researchers returned to the site with an
explorative robot device capable of highly advanced underwater filming
work. The images the robot brought back confirmed the presence of huge,
smooth blocks with the appearance of cut granite. They believe these formations could have been built more than 6,000 years ago,
a date which precedes the great pyramids of Egypt by 1,500 years. "It's
a really wonderful structure which really looks like it could have been
a large urban centre," ADC explorer Paulina Zelitsky told the Reuters
news agency.

Weren't
we taught that radio was invented by an Italian named Guglielmo
Marconi? And that the legendary Thomas Alva Edison devised today's
electrical power system? "We were taught wrong," said Toby Grotz,
president of the International Tesla Society.
Two years before Marconi demonstrated his wireless radio transmission,
[Nikola Tesla] performed an identical feat at the 1893 World's Fair in
Chicago. On June 21, 1943, in the case of Marconi Wireless
Telegraph Co. vs. the United States, the Supreme Court ruled that that
Tesla's radio patents had predated those of the Italian genius.
To be sure, Edison invented the incandesent light bulb. But he powered
it and all of his other projects with inefficient direct current (DC)
electricity. It was Tesla who discovered how to use the far more
powerful phased form of alternating current (AC) electricity that is
virtually the universal type of electricity employed by modern
civilization. There are indications that Tesla also discovered many of
the devices ... for the Pentagon's controversial Star Wars antimissile
defense system. "Tesla dreamed of supplying limitless amounts of power
freely and equally available to all persons on Earth," said Grotz. And
he was convinced he could do so by broadcasting electrical power across
large distances just as radio transmits far smaller amounts of energy. [Tesla's] tests ... caused lights to burn as much as 26 miles away, according to news reports of the time.
Note:
Tesla was written out of history texts likely because he advocated
providing methods for extremely cheap electricity available to everyone.
He successfully transmitted electricity through the air to lights 26
miles away. Yet the rich energy power brokers of his time could not
stand for this. Only the little known Supreme Court ruling mentioned
above restored his claim as original inventor of the radio. For lots

A
dull-looking chart projected on the wall of a university office in
Jerusalem displayed a revelation that would startle many readers of the
Old Testament: The sacred text that people revered in the past was not
the same one we study today. An ancient version of one book has an extra
phrase. Another appears to have been revised to retroactively insert a
prophecy after the events happened. Scholars in this out-of-the-way
corner of the Hebrew University campus have been quietly at work for 53
years on one of the most ambitious projects attempted in biblical
studies — publishing the authoritative edition of the Old Testament,
also known as the Hebrew Bible, and tracking every single evolution of
the text over centuries and millennia. The ongoing work of the
academic detectives of the Bible Project, as their undertaking is known,
shows that this text at the root of Judaism, Christianity and Islam was
somewhat fluid for long periods of its history, and that its
transmission through the ages was messier and more human than most of us
imagine. The sheer volume of information makes the Bible
Project's version "the most comprehensive critical edition of the Hebrew
Bible in existence at the present time," said David Marcus, a Bible
scholar at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, who is not
involved with the project.
Every
now and then the dawn of civilization is reenacted on a remote hilltop
in southern Turkey. Dozens of massive stone pillars [at this site are]
arranged into a set of rings, one mashed up against the next. Known as
Göbekli Tepe ... the site is [made] from cleanly carved limestone
pillars splashed with bas-reliefs of animals—a cavalcade of gazelles,
snakes, foxes, scorpions, and ferocious wild boars. The assemblage was
built some 11,600 years ago, seven millennia before the Great Pyramid of
Giza. It contains the oldest known temple. Indeed, Göbekli
Tepe is the oldest known example of monumental architecture.
Archaeologists are still excavating Göbekli Tepe and debating its
meaning. What they do know is that the site is the most significant in a
volley of unexpected findings that have overturned earlier ideas about
our species' deep past. Just 20 years ago most researchers
believed they knew the time, place, and rough sequence of the Neolithic
Revolution—the critical transition that resulted in the birth of
agriculture, taking Homo sapiens from scattered groups of
hunter-gatherers to farming villages and from there to technologically
sophisticated societies with great temples and towers and kings and
priests who directed the labor of their subjects and recorded their
feats in written form. But in recent years multiple new discoveries,
Göbekli Tepe preeminent among them, have begun forcing archaeologists to
reconsider.
Note:
Other discoveries reported in BBC and elsewhere suggest civilizations
on Earth much earlier than most archeologists believe. As this
fascinating article indicates, the early site uncovered at Göbekli Tepe
may be related to a number of newly-excavated sites in the Levant from
the "Natufian" period, yet archeologists are still puzzling over this one.
A
secret internal history of the Justice Department’s Nazi-hunting unit,
the Office of Special Investigations, chronicles numerous hidden
chapters in the office’s 31-year-existence. But a heavily redacted
version of the report turned over by the Justice Department in response
to a lawsuit deletes more than 1,000 passages in the report, including
many of the most intriguing references. Here is a sampling of the
original passages in the unredacted report, obtained by the New York Times, as compared with the deleted versions. The
full report details how the United States became a “safe haven” for
some Nazis, with some American officials actively working to help
persecutors gain entry to the United States and conceal their identities
and crimes. But the redacted version prepared by the Justice Department
omits many of the central elements of these cases. The
redacted report omits the debate within the CIA in 1953 over what Otto
von Bolschwing, a Nazi associate of Adolph Eichmann who became a CIA
asset, should tell immigration officials or others in the United States
if confronted about his Nazi past. It also deletes references to what
American officials knew about his atrocities, including the assertion
from a Justice Department officials that he might “be guilty of acts
more heinous than anyone else currently under investigation.” [many
additional examples follow]
Note:
This suppressed report contains clear evidence that top Nazi war
criminals were given aliases and allowed to escape prosecution by
elements both outside and inside of government. For even more powerful
evidence from released US government documents that top government
leaders felt the need for mind control techniques developed by the
Nazi's warranted secretly protecting and eventually working with some
of the most heartless of the Nazis, click here.
In his new book, 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read,
former wrestler turned governor of Minnesota Jesse Ventura takes a
close and at times disturbing look at major historical events. Ventura
draws on public but often overlooked information about such events as
John F. Kennedy's assassination and the 9/11 attacks, offering fresh,
often intriguing insights. Here is an excerpt: "There is little
value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not
survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need
for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand
its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment." – John F. Kennedy This book is titled 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read,
lest we forget that 1963 was the year that claimed the life of our 35th
President. The conspiracy that killed JFK, and the cover-up that
followed, is the forerunner for a lot of what you're going to read about
in these pages. In fact, the idea behind this book came out of writing my last one, American Conspiracies.
In poring through numerous documents, many of them available through
the Freedom-of-Information Act, I came to realize the importance of the
public's right to know. Let me begin by saying how concerned I am that
we're moving rapidly in the direction President Kennedy tried to warn us
about.

Archaeologists
have uncovered what they believe to be the remains of a long-lost
ancient Greek city, Helike. Classical texts suggest that all its
inhabitants perished when the city sank beneath the waves after
suffering a disastrous combination of earthquake and tidal wave. Some
scholars have speculated that the catastrophe may well have been the
source of Plato's story of Atlantis, a land that supposedly suffered a
similar fate. During the summer, Greek and American researchers ...
began digging 3m deep trenches within an area of modern orchards and
vineyards of about one square mile. These revealed archaic
walls, classical ceramic fragments and, perhaps most significantly,
evidence that the ruins had been submerged beneath the sea. "We
uncovered archaic walls buried in clay containing sea shells," said one
of the researchers, Dr Steven Soter from the American Museum of Natural
History.
Note:
Here is solid evidence of ancient manmade structures that were
submerged for a period under sea water, yet now are above sea level. The
evidence suggests an ancient civilization from many thousands of years
ago, yet most archeologists will not entertain this idea. For a powerful
interview that questions the consensus of archeologists, click here.
A
dispute between the Brazilian Navy and an American marine archeologist
has led Brazil to bar the diver from entering the country and to place a
ban on all underwater exploration. The dispute involves Robert Marx, a
Florida author and treasure hunter, who asserts that the Brazilian Navy
dumped a thick layer of silt on the remains of a Roman vessel that he
discovered inside Rio de Janeiro's bay. The reason he gave for
the Navy's action was that proof of a Roman presence would require
Brazil to rewrite its recorded history, which has the Portuguese
navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral discovering the country in 1500.
All ... permits for underwater exploration and digging, a prolific
field in Brazil, have been canceled as a result of the Marx controversy
... Navy officials said. The story goes back to 1976 when lobster divers
first found potsherds studded with barnacles. Then a Brazilian diver
brought up two complete jars with twin handles, tapering at the bottom,
the kind that ancient Mediterranean peoples widely used for storage and
are known as amphoras. According to Elizabeth Will, a professor of
classics and specialist in ancient Roman amphoras at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, the jars are very similar to the ones produced
at Kouass, a Roman Empire colony that was a center for amphora-making
on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Reached by telephone, Professor Will
said of the fragments she had studied: ''They look to be ancient and
because of the profile, the thin-walled fabric and the shape of the rims
I suggested they belong to the third century A.D..''
Note:
Many archeological finds which don't match accepted history have been
suppressed and covered up. For five revealing BBC articles showing more

[Review of] RHODES: The Race for Africa
by Antony Thomas, BBC Books. The book is ... intelligent, detailed,
well-researched and credibly nuanced. The book's aim is to kill off once
and for all the public-schoolboy perception of [Cecil] Rhodes as the
model Englishman who selflessly deployed his vast diamond wealth to the
task of civilising Southern Africa while adding, virtually
single-handedly, a chunk of territory the size of Europe to Her
Majesty's imperial possessions. The picture that persuasively emerges in
the book [is] of a man of immense charm and demonic single-mindedness.
Rhodes ... tailored his rhetoric to suit an age when lust for
acquisition had to be dressed in the garb of moral rectitude. Thus
the famous lines from his precocious personal credo, drafted at the age
of 23: "I contend that we are the finest race in the world, and the
more of the world we inhabit, the better it is for the human race."
Business ... was the medium he employed to pursue personal power. He
beat his rivals not by fighting them but by seducing them. By bribery
(Rhodes coined the expression "every man has his price") or sheer force
of personality, or more often both, he submitted members of the British
cabinet, Kruger's Boers and proud African chieftains to his colossal
will. Such were his powers of persuasion that after a smallpox epidemic
struck Kimberley in 1883, he prevailed upon local doctors to sign false
documents declaring the outbreak to be a rare skin disease. Thus did he
prevent the temporary closure of his diamond mines and thus did at least
751 people needlessly, hideously die. By the end of the book Thomas
leaves us in no doubt as to Rhodes' greatness, but he concludes that it
was a misdirected greatness, a story of talents squandered and
opportunities lost.
Note:
Often portrayed in history books as one of the most influential men of
the 19th century, Rhodes not only believed his was the superior race, in
his will he advocated
"for the establishment, promotion and development of a Secret Society,
the true aim and object whereof shall be for the extension of British
rule throughout the world." For major media reports revealing other
secret societies with similar aims, click here. For more information on Rhodes and secret societies from Caroll Quigley's epic Tragedy and Hope, click here.
Fifty
years ago, American scientists were in a frantic race to counter what
they saw as the Soviet threat from germ warfare. Biological pathogens
they developed were tested on volunteers from a pacifist church and were
also released in public places. In the 1950s, the Seventh-day Adventist
Church struck an extraordinary deal with the US Army. It would provide
test subjects for experiments on biological weapons at the Fort Detrick
research centre near Washington DC. The volunteers were conscientious
objectors who agreed to be infected with debilitating pathogens. In
return, they were exempted from frontline warfare. The research
involved anthrax, other lethal bacteria and biological poisons. But it
wasn't just the white coat volunteers and sailors who were subject to
experiments. The scientists also conducted tests on an
unsuspecting American public. Scientists used what they thought was a
harmless simulant in major bio-weapon tests across US cities and on
public transport. It was a bacteria which they believed was
harmless but which would mimic the dispersal of deadly biological agents
such as anthrax. But later research showed that the strain of Bacillus
globigii, or BG, did pose a risk to people who were ill or whose immune
system was failing. In a damning report, [a U.S. Senate committee]
concluded that the Department of Defense (DoD) repeatedly failed to
comply with required ethical standards when using human subjects in
military research - and that the DoD demonstrated a pattern of
misrepresenting the danger of various exposures and continued to do so.

[Abiotic
oil theorists] hold that oil can be derived from hydrocarbons that
existed eons ago in massive pools deep within the earth's core. That
source of hydrocarbons seeps up through the earth's layers and slowly
replenishes oil sources. In other words, it turns the fossil-fuel
paradigm upside down. Thomas Gold, a respected astronomer and professor
emeritus at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, has held for years that oil
is actually a renewable, primordial syrup continually manufactured by
the Earth under ultrahot conditions and tremendous pressures. As this
substance migrates toward the surface, it is attacked by bacteria,
making it appear to have an organic origin dating back to the dinosaurs,
he says. That ... raises the tantalizing possibility that oil may not
be the limited resource it is assumed to be. In 2008 ... a group of
Russian and Ukrainian scientists [said] that oil and gas don't come from
fossils; they're synthesized deep within the earth's mantle by heat,
pressure, and other purely chemical means, before gradually rising to
the surface. The idea that oil comes from fossils "is a myth" that needs
changing according to petroleum engineer Vladimir Kutcherov, speaking
at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden. "All kinds of rocks
could have oil and gas deposits."
Alexander Kitchka of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences
estimates that 60 percent of the content of all oil is abiotic in origin
and not from fossil fuels.

The research work of Kutcherov and others on this topic was published in an article in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience.
One
of the best-known scientific sleuths of UFO sightings is focusing his
search not on today's flying saucers, but on the sky wonders of
antiquity. Jacques Vallee [is] the French-born computer whiz and venture
capitalist who ... served as the model for Francois Truffaut's
UFO-hunting character in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." He's a
co-author of a newly published book, "Wonders in the Sky,"
that lists 500 unexplained aerial observations dating back as far as
1460 B.C. and going up to the dawn of the industrial age in 1879. About
90 percent of UFO reports turn out to have perfectly natural
explanations, but Vallee says the reports that remain unexplained are
provocative enough that they deserve more thoroughgoing study. Jacques
Vallee: Many of the reports in our book came from professional
scientists in the 18th and 19th centuries [including] two directors of
the Paris Observatory. Thanks to the Internet, now we have the means to
look at vast collections of records. Many of the cases, both ancient and
modern, involve a number of trained people - sometimes the entire crew
of an aircraft ... and official reports by pilots which in many cases
involved near-collisions. There are pilots and military people
willing to talk openly about what they've seen. There is a database of
over 500 reports by pilots in the first person. There are radar
records, visual observations, electromagnetic observations. All
of us who have investigated this have spoken to pilots and radar
operators who said that after a sighting, a couple of people in blue
jeans showed up with some identification from somewhere and confiscated
the tapes or the film, and they took it somewhere and no one ever saw it
again.
Note:
The list of sightings at the end of this article from highly reliable
observers reporting before humans could fly is quite intriguing. For

The legend of Atlantis, the country that disappeared under the sea, may be more than just a myth.
Research on the Greek island of Crete suggests Europe's earliest
civilisation was destroyed by a giant tsunami. Until about 3,500 years
ago, a spectacular ancient civilisation was flourishing in the Eastern
Mediterranean. The ancient Minoans were building palaces, paved streets
and sewers, while most Europeans were still living in primitive huts.
But around 1500BC the people who spawned the myths of the Minotaur and
the Labyrinth abruptly disappeared. Now the mystery of their cataclysmic
end may finally have been solved. A group of scientists have uncovered
new evidence that the island of Crete was hit by a massive tsunami at
the same time that Minoan culture disappeared. "The geo-archaeological
deposits contain a number of distinct tsunami signatures," says
Dutch-born geologist Professor Hendrik Bruins. "Minoan building
material, pottery and cups along with food residue ... were mixed up
with rounded beach pebbles and sea shells. "The latter can only have
been scooped up from the sea-bed by one mechanism - a powerful tsunami,"
says Professor Bruins. The scientists have obtained radiocarbon dates
for the deposits that show the tsunami could have hit the coast at
exactly the same time as an eruption of the Santorini volcano. It
caused massive climatic disruption and the blast was heard over 3000
miles away. The [resulting] wave would have been as powerful as the one
that devastated the coastlines of Thailand and Sri Lanka. The myth of
Atlantis, the city state that was lost beneath the sea, was first
mentioned by Plato over 2000 years ago.
Note:
So the "myth" of Atlantis may not have been just a myth after all. How
many other myths might eventually be found to be based in fact?
A
"grid of streets" on the seabed at one of the proposed locations of the
lost city of Atlantis has been spotted on Google Ocean. Google Ocean,
an extension of Google Earth, allows web users to virtually explore the
ocean with thousands of images of underwater landscapes. The network of
criss-cross lines is 620 miles off the coast of north west Africa near
the Canary Islands on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. The
perfect rectangle – which is around the size of Wales – was noticed on
the search giant's underwater exploration tool by an aeronautical
engineer who claims it looks like an "aerial map" of a city. The
underwater image can be found at the co-ordinates 31 15'15.53N 24
15'30.53W. Atlantis experts said that the unexplained grid is located at
one of the possible sites of the legendary island, which was described
by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. According to his account, the
city sank beneath the ocean after its residents made a failed effort to
conquer Athens around 9000 BC. Dr Charles Orser, curator of historical
archaeology at New York State University told The Sun that the find was
fascinating and warranted further inspection. The legend of Atlantis has
excited the public imagination for centuries. In recent years
"evidence" of the lost kingdom has been found off the coast of Cyprus
and in southern Spain.

Like
the ancient wonders of Stonehenge or the Great Pyramids of Egypt, there
is an incredible and mysterious creation right here in the United
States. Coral Castle, in Homestead, Fla., just south of Miami, is an
intricate rock garden made of enormous pieces of coral, many of them
weighing several tons. But more amazingly, Coral Castle was built
entirely by one man -- Latvian immigrant Ed Leedskalnin, who stood just 5
feet tall and weighed 100 pounds. To this day, no one knows how he did
it. The castle is an extraordinary feat of engineering, and experts have
puzzled over how Leedskalnin, who only had a fourth-grade education,
constructed Coral Castle by himself. For example, how did this little
man build a 9-ton coral gate constructed so precisely that you can push
it open using one finger? There are many theories on how Leedskalnin
accomplished this amazing feat. Some say he had help from
extraterrestrials, others believe he discovered the secrets behind
anti-gravity and levitation. Leedskalnin was a self-taught expert on
magnetic currents, and one theory holds that he positioned the
site to be perfectly aligned with Earth's poles to eliminate the forces
of gravity, allowing him to move stones weighing several tons each. Even
Albert Einstein couldn't figure it out.
