The Atlantean Hall of Records in Egypt

For a long time, speculations have been rife about secret chambers and tunnels hidden under the Great Sphinx at Giza, which preserve ancient artifacts of great significance. The idea had been popularized by Edgar Cayce, the early 20th century American psychic, who used to enter into a trance-like state and give stunningly accurate readings on a number of different subjects.

Memorial pillars erected in honour of the deceased was a funerary custom followed by many ancient cultures. In India, elaborately carved memorial stones used to be erected in honor of a person who had died in a battle. These stones are called “hero stones” (or “Viragallu” in the Kannada language).

Indra Killed Vritra in 9703 BCE: The Comet Impact that ended the Ice Age

The last Ice Age, which began nearly 125,000 years ago, had reached its maximum extent during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) around 20,000 years ago. At this time, large parts of the Northern Hemisphere were covered in kilometers thick ice caps, and the sea level was nearly 400 feet lower than it is today.[1] Large tracts of the continental shelves which are now submerged under water, used to be sea-front, real estate – perhaps supporting many thriving, maritime, Ice Age civilizations. Not only were the existing islands much larger back then, but many new islands were exposed in the seas, which were connected to each other and to the mainland by land bridges, forming vast antediluvian landmasses.

Could the "Eye of the Sahara" be the Legendary Atlantis?

A new theory doing the rounds on the internet in recent times is that, the geological feature in the Sahara desert known as the “Eye of the Sahara” is the legendary kingdom of Atlantis.

My initial reaction was one of skepticism, since Plato had described Atlantis as a large island, as big as Libya and Asia Minor combined, located beyond the Straits of Gibraltar. However, I decided to take a closer look at what the proponents of this idea are claiming to check if that conforms to the descriptions of Atlantis found in the Critias [1] and the Timaeus [2].

The Four Worlds and the Mysterious Ant People of the Hopi: What it Means For Us

The Hopi tribe consists of twelve villages built on top of three rocky mesas in northeastern Arizona. The mesas are flat-topped ridges that rise abruptly out of the desert plains. Even though the Hopi have been subjected to waves of external influences, and an overtly technological civilization swirls all around them, their traditional way of life has not been greatly affected. They have maintained their sacred covenant with Maasaw – the Lord of the Dead & the Caretaker of the earth – and live as peaceful, humble farmers, respecting the land and its resources, always remembering the Creator Taiowa and the spirit beings called Kachina, through their ceremonies, songs, dances and rituals. This helps, as they claim, to maintain the harmony and balance of the world.

The Giants who Ruled the Ancient World: Art, Texts and Skeletal Remains

There was a widespread, and deeply ingrained, belief in the ancient world that a race of giants once walked the Earth and interacted with our human ancestors. These demigods – born of the union of gods and mortals - were endowed with exceptional physical size and strength. They were the heroic warriors and rulers of old, who would embark on exciting adventures, make new discoveries and slay powerful, bizarre monsters. Our ancestors adored and deified them, their heroic deeds being woven into songs and etched in stone.
