And what we discovered changed my vision of the past for ever. BAM: Builders of the Ancient Mysteries, Amazon Prime 2020
A minuscule island lost in the middle of the Pacific ocean: Rapa Nui, Easter Island. ibid.
The people from Rapa Nui are believed to have sculpted about 1,000 volcanic stone giants. ibid.
There’s strong similarities in the style between Ahu Vinapu [precise giant stones] and the structures instigated by the Incas of Peru. ibid.
Peru: Civilisation had been there for a very long time. ibid.
Machu Picchu: What surprised us was at the heart of the site built in a totally different style: huge andesite blocks, a very hard stone, had been assembled with precision, without any seal, stone against stone. ibid.
Bihar Area, India: 7 caves entirely excavated from massive granite blocks spread across 2 main sites … These are unique because of their precision. ibid.
From Easter Island to India via Peru we can see two very different styles. The work that is the most ancient is also the largest and most precise. ibid.
Why the need for accuracy? ibid.
‘The oldest material at Gobekli Tepe is the best. Did they wake up one morning with some magical inspiration?’ ibid. Graham Hancock
Let’s go from Easter Island taking a 30 degree orientation, and draw a line about 100 kilometers wide. The strip passes through Nazca in Peru and Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuaman, Cuzco and Naupa Iglesia; it crosses the Atlantic to go over the sacred caves at Tassili N’Ajjer in Algeria, then through the Oasis of Siwa, by the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, over Petra in Jordan, Ur in Iraq, Persepolis in Iran, Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan, Khajuraho in India, Pyay in Berma, Sukhotai in Thailand, Angkor Wat and Preah Vihear in Cambodia, all likely to be connected a long time ago. And then over to the little known island of Aneityum in New Calodonia, then Easter Island. ibid.
Nobody was surprised to see the Golden Ratio showing up again. ibid.
These sites are built in the most earthquake-sensitive areas. ibid.
What is the importance of the Precession of the Equinoxes? ibid.
Incredible megalithic sites unearthed after thousands of years. Mysterious subterranean dwellings that stretch for miles. Could recent discoveries provide evidence of a civilisation that existed for earlier than ever imagined. Ancient Aliens s19e3: Mystery of the Lost Civilisation, History 2023
Abu Shahrayn, Iraq: 6,000 years ago, this ancient mound was the site of Eridu, the oldest city of the Sumerian empire. ibid.
And one key source is the writings of the Sumerians themselves. Ancient cuneiform tablets list kings that ruled tens of thousands of years ago. And they tell of an earlier age when humans lived among powerful beings that came down from the sky called Anunnaki. ibid.
Much like Gobekli Tepe, Derinkuyu was thought to be an anomaly. ibid.
A subterranean network known as Kaymakli which spans several miles and extends thousands of feel below the earth. ibid.
‘Kerahan Tepe is really something quite spectacular.’ ibid. comment
