A free-forum, bi-monthly periodical, Ancient American features the research of university-trained professionals and avocational enthusiasts alike. Between them, a new vision of our continent, radically at odds with mainstream archaeology, is beginning to emerge. 13 14 Discovering the Mysteries of Ancient America Ancient American shows that, contrary to prevailing wisdom, the vast oceans were not impassable barriers to human beings in the deep past, but rather highways that carried them to America from many parts of the globe. AncientAmerican alone describes overseas’ visitors centuries and even millennia before the arrival of Christopher Columbus. Time has worn, not erased, the impact made on our shores by ancient Egyptians, Minoans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Hebrews, and Romans. They were followed by Welsh rovers, Viking warriors, Irish missionaries, and even the Knights Templar. Sailors from the great kingdoms of West Africa braved mid-ocean crossings to leave their enduring mark on Mexico’s oldest known civilization. Culture-bearers, merchants, explorers, and refugees came from Japan, China, India, and Java. Their influences still echo in the oral traditions of Native Americans themselves and are physically brought to light in numerous artifacts. Apparently, America was a meltingpot long before the Statue of Liberty was set up at Liberty Island. Discovering the Mysteries ofAncient America is a selection of some of the best articles appearing in AncientAmerican magazine since its inception 1 2 years ago. Although the authors mostly emphasize the contributions of overseas visitors to our continent before Columbus, contrary views are included, allowing for a lively debate, as engaging as it is provocative. But this collection does not focus exclusively on cultural diffusion; Old World influences at work in the New World before 1492 are also prevalent. It also plunges into arguments about the official suppression of politically incorrect evidence; the paradigm-smashing discovery of a 9,000-year-old Caucasian skeleton in Washington state; physical evidence of a lost super-science; proof of a far deeper antiquity of mankind in the Americas going back a quarter-of-a-million years; late word on the sunken civilizations of Atlantis and Lemuria; and the giant beasts that challenged our ancestors with extinction. These controversies are not openly discussed in the polite society of Establishment archaeology. The history presently being taught in our schools will not be the same history our children and grandchildren will learn. As such, Discovering the Mysteries ofAncient America represents the first chapter in the New History of our land. : Chapter 1 Bucking the Archaeological Establishment C-14 Testing Proves America’s Zechariah Sitchin is internationally famous for his controversial books describing the origins of man and civilization. The Lost Realms, Genesis Revisited, and Cosmic Code are read in trans- lated editions around the world, and he has appeared in numerous television documentaries dealing with alternative science. Born in Russia, Mr. Sitchin was raised in Palestine, and he graduated from the University of London with a degree in economic history. He worked for years as a journalist and editor in Israel before settling in New York.

That has to be rare indeed. Open Preview See a Problem? I thought was an excellent addition to the main book. If the artifacts are indeed prehistoric stone tools, then it means humans settled on the shores of ancient Pleistocene lake more than 30, years ago. The well was the only permanent watering place in those parts and, being a necessary watering place for Bedouin raiders, had been the scene of many fierce encounters in the past, [12]. According to those overseeing the project, Neom has already invited tenders from a range of international firms, while plans are moving forward to build a road bridge to Egypt. In the valley of the Tombs, to the east of the city, the "houses of the dead," veritable underground palaces, were decorated with particularly fine sculpture and frescoes. Most tales of the lost city locate it somewhere in the Rub' al Khali desert, also known as the Empty Quarter, a vast area of sand dunes covering most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula , including most of Saudi Arabia and parts of Oman , the United Arab Emirates , and Yemen. Biotech City of the Future Healthcare. Original Title. At the beginning of the 17th century, the Emir Fakhr ad-Din was still using Palmyra as a place to exercise his police, however he was anxious to have greater security than offered by the ruined city, so he had a castle built on the hillside overlooking it.

  • Christianity, Islam, and Judaism Are All Monotheistic Religions Founded in the Middle East
    Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all monotheistic religions founded in the Middle East. Often grouped together as “Abrahamic religions," these three faiths share common history and traditions, a respect for the Bible, a conviction that there is one God, a belief in prophets and divine revelation, and a holy city in Jerusalem, among other things. But Christianity, Islam and Judaism also differ significantly in matters of belief and practice, from their understanding of God to the identity of the prophets and Jesus and the authority of various scriptures. The following chart is intended to be a starting point for understanding these ancient religions and their relationships to one another.
