Articles and Features

City Reported Found Deep Beneath Cuban Waters

This lead article details the discovery of a large land plateau, approximately 2,200 feet below the surface west of Cuba, identified by sonar equipment. Paulina Zalitsky, an Ocean Engineer with Advanced Digital Communications, describes the sonar images as revealing "limitless, rolling, white sand plains" with "clear manmade, large-size architectural designs," resembling highways and tunnels seen from an aerial view of an urban development. The site is slated for investigation by the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the U.S. National Geographic. The discovery has revived interest in the region as a potential location for prediluvian civilizations, building on earlier discoveries like the 'Bimini Road' by Professor Manson Valentine.

Did Columbus Secretly Travel to America Before 1492?

This article presents research by writer and historian Ruggero Marino, who suggests that Christopher Columbus's 1492 voyage for Spain was a return visit. Marino interprets a notation on the 1513 Piri Reis map, which states that American land masses were discovered in the year 890 of the Arab era by an 'infidel from Genoa' (Columbus's birthplace), corresponding to 1485-86. Further corroboration is sought in an inscription on the tomb of Pope Innocent VIII, which mentions the "glory of the discovery of the New World" during his pontificate, who died in July 1492, before Columbus's known voyage.

Stonehenge Secrets Still Safe

This piece discusses the challenges and failures encountered by a group of Welsh scholars attempting to demonstrate how ancient builders might have moved the large stones of Stonehenge. Despite a £100,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery fund, an attempt to transport a three-ton stone by land and sea ended in failure when the raft sank off the Welsh coast. Insurers also deemed the project too risky. The article concludes that the method used by the original builders of Stonehenge remains a mystery, and that they were likely uninsured.

Prehistoric Dentistry

Archaeologists examining skulls from Mehrgarh, Baluchistan (modern Pakistan), have discovered tiny, perfect holes in the teeth of two individuals dating back 8,000 to 9,000 years. Professor Andrea Cucina of the University of Missouri-Columbia identified these holes as evidence of dentistry, not mere tooth sharpening, suggesting a high level of sophistication among people of that period.

Medicine Men File Suit

This short piece reports on healers from Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, and Rwanda who are taking legal action in Switzerland against large pharmaceutical companies. They accuse these companies of "stealing" their traditional cures and profiting from them without proper acknowledgment. The healers aim to protect up to 10,000 native treatments, including toad secretions, from misappropriation. The article also mentions a specific case where Lausanne University planned to market a snake tree bean bark lotion as an athlete's foot cure.

The Source of the Flood

This article, part of 'The Copernican Series' by Peter Bros, proposes an alternative theory for the Great Flood. It questions the conventional understanding of gravity and suggests that the moon's waters could have been released to Earth as the moon cooled, causing its mass and gravity to diminish. The author posits that if gravity is proportional to cooling rather than mass, this could explain the universal flood.

Major Scientific Cover-up Exposed!

This section promotes the books "Forbidden Archeology" and "The Hidden History of the Human Race," described as landmark works that challenge conventional views on human history and evolution by presenting extensive evidence of ancient human artifacts and civilizations. Graham Hancock is quoted praising "Forbidden Archeology" for its documented facts.

"We Will NEVER Be Censored," Promises Editor Of Controversial Health Exposé Newsletter

Articles and Features

Human Origins and Ancient Discoveries

This issue features several articles that challenge conventional timelines and interpretations of human history and ancient discoveries.

Vértesszölös: A Re-evaluation of Early Human Ancestors
The article discusses the Vértesszölös site in Hungary, focusing on the occipital bone fragment and human footprints discovered there. It highlights the debate among scientists regarding the classification of these finds, with some arguing they belong to Homo erectus and others to anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens). The author, Michael A. Cremo, presents evidence suggesting that the site, dated at 500,000 years, may contain evidence of modern humans, challenging the established timeline. The presence of campfires and the nature of the footprints are discussed as key points of contention. The article also references similar debates surrounding finds in South Africa (117,000 years old) and Terra Amata, France (400,000 years old), suggesting that evidence for early modern humans is often attributed to Homo erectus due to the site's age.

Southern California's Geoglyph Mystery
This feature explores a lesser-known mystery of gigantic geoglyphs in Southern California, comparable to those at Nazca, Peru. These earth drawings, numbering over 200 and spanning 150 miles, are estimated to be between 1000 and 3000 years old. The article details various figures, including human effigies, animals, spirals, and geometric symbols, found along the lower Colorado River. The Blythe Intaglios are highlighted, featuring human figures and accompanying animals. The article notes that these geoglyphs, like those at Nazca, are difficult to discern from ground level and were likely created by scraping away the darker surface patina. A geomagnetic anomaly was also detected near some of these figures. The Yuha geoglyph grouping and a collection at Mule Canyon are also mentioned, along with efforts to protect them from vandalism.

Lake Vostok: A Cover-Up?

The Secret of Lake Vostok
This article reports on the abrupt termination of the international study of Lake Vostok in Antarctica. Citing a statement from a JPL spokesperson, the article reveals that the project was halted due to "national security issues," with the National Security Agency assuming control. Despite official explanations citing "environmental issues," the circumstances surrounding the termination have led to speculation about a cover-up. The article provides details about Lake Vostok, a vast subterranean lake located beneath the Continental Ice Sheet, noting its estimated depth, temperature, and the possibility of unique life forms due to its isolation. The discovery of an extremely powerful magnetic energy source at the lake's north end, for which no explanation has been offered, adds to the mystery.

Ancient Knowledge and Modern Science

The Dogon as Physicists
This piece examines the Dogon tribe of Mali and their cosmology, which has been linked to the star system of Sirius. The article focuses on Dogon symbols and mythology that bear striking resemblances to modern scientific concepts, particularly in the realm of physics. The Dogon's description of the universe's formation from an 'egg' and the 'spiraling force' is compared to the Big Bang theory. Their concept of 'sene seeds,' which form the basis of matter, is described in terms that evoke protons, electrons, and neutrons. The Dogon's representation of quantum particle spin categories and their ritual drawing of elemental signs are presented as remarkably similar to scientific diagrams related to string theory and quantum mechanics. The article suggests that the Dogon may possess knowledge of fundamental physics that predates modern scientific discovery.

This documentary includes insights from researchers such as John Anthony West, Robert Bauval, Richard Noone, Colin Wilson, John Michell, Patrick Flanagan, Christopher Dunn, Zecharia Sitchin, David Hatcher Childress, and Edgar Evans Cayce.

Ancient Civilizations and High Technology

The lead article, "How Much Did The Ancients Know?", posits that a highly organized ancient civilization may have existed with advanced knowledge and technology, potentially employing methods different from our own. It questions whether we have overlooked evidence of such advancements due to our own limited understanding. The article references the conventional historical view of civilization emerging from the stone age just over five thousand years ago, revolutionized by the invention of the wheel. However, it proposes an alternative scenario where an earlier civilization might have achieved heights similar to our own, possibly through different means of harnessing nature's forces, such as rapid transit without internal combustion engines or complex calculations without electronic computers.

The issue also delves into the construction of the Great Pyramid, specifically the "Relieving Chambers" above the King's Chamber. It discusses the complex design involving monolithic granite beams and questions the necessity of this elaborate structure if the goal was simply a flat ceiling. An alternative hypothesis suggests that the gable-roof design was intended to redirect lateral forces from the weight of the overlying masonry, preventing damage to the Grand Gallery. This section references a German magazine article and a study by Ludwig and Daniela.

The Roots of Superstition

An article titled "The Roots of Superstition: Did Our Ancestors Know Something We Don't?" by Beverly Jaegers explores the origins and persistence of folk beliefs and practices. It traces the historical role of alchemists, who were natural scientists, chemists, and physicians, in observing and testing folk remedies. The article notes that many practices, once considered silly superstitions, have come down from ancient cultures, with their original truths often forgotten. It highlights examples like the significance of spilled salt in Leonardo Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" and the Church's attempts to suppress folklore and wisdom through Papal Decrees. The piece suggests that these practices were driven underground and passed on by word of mouth. The article also points out the global nature of superstitions, with striking similarities found in beliefs from China, Africa, India, Australia, and Native American traditions. Examples include using salt to ward off evil, beliefs about vampires and witches, and the use of amulets and charms. Specific gestures, like the "horns" created by extending the index and little fingers, are mentioned as protection against bad luck. The practice of knocking on wood and the tradition of placing evergreen trees on buildings at Christmas are also discussed.

A related piece, "ONE IN FOUR AMERICANS SUPERSTITIOUS," presents statistics from a September 1996 Gallup poll, indicating that 25% of Americans consider themselves superstitious. The poll reveals that younger people are more likely to hold superstitious beliefs than older individuals, with specific superstitions like "knocking on wood," black cats, and breaking mirrors being more prevalent among the younger demographic.

Alternative Healing and Heart Medicine

"The Malady in Heart Medicine: A Doctor Shatters the Myths Behind Popular Treatments for Heart Disease" by Cynthia Logan features the work of Dr. Charles T. McGee. McGee, an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, argues in his book "Heart Frauds" that many common heart disease procedures, such as angiograms, coronary bypass surgery, and balloon angioplasty, are unnecessary and constitute fraud. He asserts that recommending high-risk procedures over cheaper, more effective ones is unethical. McGee's research, influenced by studies and alternative methods, suggests that cholesterol levels are not the primary determinant of heart attack risk and that current medical practices are based on flawed assumptions and misinterpreted statistics. He advocates for a more holistic approach, including homeopathy, nutrition, acupuncture, and chelation therapy, which he adopted in his own practice.

The Atlantis of William Blake

"Must Mankind Awaken from Its Nightmare Before Rediscovering Its Origins? The Atlantis of William Blake" by John Chambers explores the philosophical and mystical writings of the English poet and engraver William Blake. The article discusses Blake's preoccupation with the theme of humanity's "fall from grace" and its journey back to a state of perfection, drawing parallels with John Milton's "Paradise Lost." It highlights Blake's unique interpretation, suggesting that man and God fell together, leading to the creation of the physical universe. Blake's concept of Albion, a perfect God-man representing humanity's primordial state, is linked to the myth of Atlantis. The article posits that Blake saw the myth of Atlantis as a "remembering" of this perfect state, and that the Atlantic Ocean symbolizes the fallen world.

Deep Sky Astrology

"A Star Is Born" by Julie Gillentine delves into the field of Deep Sky Astrology, examining the symbolic significance of stars and their life cycles. It explains how astrology interprets celestial phenomena, drawing parallels between ancient observations and modern understanding. The article details the life stages of stars, from interstellar dust clouds to black dwarfs, and their corresponding zodiacal degrees and interpretations. These stages are presented as influencing life experiences and soul lessons. The Sun is highlighted as a central figure in Western astrology, governing individuality and emerging nature. The piece also touches upon the vastness of the universe, with billions of galaxies and Jupiter-like planets discovered, emphasizing that our solar system is not the center of the cosmos. Keywords are provided for each star stage to help combine them with planetary archetypal energy for deeper insights.

Atlantis Rising consistently explores themes of ancient mysteries, alternative science, esoteric knowledge, and unexplained phenomena. The magazine promotes a worldview that challenges conventional scientific and historical narratives, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond mainstream understanding. There is a clear interest in uncovering hidden knowledge, questioning established theories, and exploring the connections between ancient wisdom and modern discoveries. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry, encouraging critical thinking and a willingness to explore unconventional ideas across various disciplines, from archaeology and mythology to physics and consciousness studies.

This issue of Atlantis Rising, number 29, delves into a variety of intriguing topics related to ancient mysteries, unexplained phenomena, and cutting-edge scientific debates. The magazine explores a significant magnetic anomaly discovered in Antarctica, the enigmatic geoglyphs of the American Southwest, and theories surrounding the origins of early human civilizations and the lost continent of Atlantis. It also touches upon the challenges of nuclear waste management and the controversial field of cold fusion, alongside efforts to disclose government information on UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

Lake Vostok Anomaly

The issue begins by discussing a purported magnetic anomaly discovered in 2001 near Lake Vostok in Antarctica by a team from Columbia University. Researcher Richard Hoagland suggests this anomaly, which is significantly larger than background variations, could be caused by an accumulation of metals, potentially indicating the ruins of an ancient, buried city. This possibility is presented as a radical departure from conventional geological models, aligning with theories of 'catastrophism' and sudden polar shifts, potentially linking Antarctica to the legend of Atlantis. The article notes that evidence suggests Antarctica may have been a temperate continent as recently as 13,000 years ago. It also mentions the abrupt halt of JPL's Vostok exploration program shortly after the anomaly's discovery, fueling speculation about hidden activities.

Geoglyphs of the Southwest

The magazine then shifts focus to the geoglyphs found in the American Southwest, particularly near the Colorado River. These large earth drawings, some of which are ancient and partially eroded by seasonal flooding, are compared to the Nazca lines. The article highlights the work of archaeologists like Jay Von Werlhof and researchers like Gloria Farley, who have documented numerous such figures. Despite their presence, official archives in California and from the Native American Heritage Commission reportedly lack information on these geoglyphs. The article questions the purpose of these ancient artworks, suggesting they might be more than mere 'Neolithic graffiti' and could hold deeper meanings, possibly related to ancient rituals or even 'out-of-body' experiences.

Early Humans and Atlantis

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to exploring the origins of early human civilizations and their potential connection to Atlantis. The article posits that the Cro-Magnon people, often depicted as giants in myth, may have been early Indo-European migrants. It suggests that their interactions with other cultures, such as the Oranian culture in North Africa, demonstrate a shared heritage that predates the geological upheavals that led to the submergence of Atlantis. The theory is presented that Atlantean refugees migrated eastward, contributing to the development of Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations, and also westward, influencing European cultures. The article draws parallels between Dogon symbols and scientific concepts, suggesting a deep, ancient wisdom within their mythology.

Nuclear Waste and Cold Fusion

The issue addresses the pressing problem of nuclear waste, criticizing the current cleanup methods and the firms responsible for creating the mess. It introduces the concept of nuclear transmutation via cold fusion as a potential solution, capable of transforming radioactive materials into stable compounds. The article highlights the work of researchers like Dr. George H. Miley, who received a government grant for pilot production methods for transmuting nuclear waste but lost it due to a 'rigged' challenge. It criticizes 'scientism' – a dogmatic adherence to established scientific paradigms – for hindering the progress of promising technologies like cold fusion.

Project Disclosure and UFOs

Finally, the magazine details Steven Greer's Project Starlight and Project Disclosure. Greer's initiative aims to educate top government officials and the public about the reality of extraterrestrial presence and advanced technologies. The article describes Greer's efforts to gather testimony from hundreds of military and government witnesses, culminating in a public briefing at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. in May 2001. Greer asserts that continued secrecy is dangerous and unconstitutional, and that the disclosure of extraterrestrial technologies could solve global energy problems and lead to a sustainable civilization. The article notes that while the press club event was publicized, its impact on mainstream news was limited, suggesting a public consciousness that has been 'cleverly put to sleep' on the issue.

Heart Fraud

This section critically examines conventional medical approaches to heart disease, featuring insights from Dr. Charles T. McGee. McGee questions the reliance on angiograms, particularly the commonly administered test, and highlights the effectiveness of quantitative angiograms. He also discusses the 'oxidation theory' of heart disease, suggesting that oxidized LDL cholesterol contributes to plaque buildup. The article critiques procedures like bypass surgery and balloon angioplasty, citing studies that question their long-term efficacy. McGee advocates for alternative therapies, including chelation therapy and lifestyle programs like Dean Ornish's, which he believes can reverse heart disease. He emphasizes the importance of patients being informed about all available options.

Blake

This article delves into the philosophical and mystical concepts of William Blake, exploring his ideas about the 'fallen' human state and the 'Limit of Contraction.' It discusses Blake's view of the universe and the human body as interconnected, and his belief that true perception requires a shift beyond the limitations of the physical senses. The text suggests that Blake's vision offers a path to a higher, more imaginative plane of existence, urging readers to 'struggle to wrench yourself out of the nightmare' of ordinary reality.
