Graham Hancock: Beyond Atlantis – Secret Discoveries

Graham Hancock is in my handful of people who are most worth listening to these days. He’s a world-class researcher who is seeing into the mysteries of our past in revelatory ways, plus he’s the loveliest person you’d want listen to no matter what he’s talking about.

Here’s the blurb on YouTube that accompanies an interview with Graham, below:

“This original uncut interview featuring Graham Hancock, was filmed for the Network Television Special ‘The Mysterious Origins of Man.’ Most of this interview was not included in the final Television Network Broadcast and is being shown here now in it’s entirety for the first time. Graham Hancock is the celebrated author of the groundbreaking book, ‘The Fingerprints of the Gods.’ This interview includes amazing conclusions about the lost great civilization of Atlantis, a technologically advanced civilization that was able to circumnavigate the Earth and map the stars.”

From the interview: “How long are we going to go on closing our eyes to a huge forgotten episode in human history?”

I’ve been touting the Ancient Aliens series on the History Channel — in its second season, Thursdays 9/8c. I can’t imagine anyone watching these shows who wouldn’t conclude there is a distant past that’s not in our history books — we would have to radically rewrite them were the evidence the series presents to be admitted. There is so much that does not fit in the story we tell. It’s time for a quantum leap — as I describe in my recent post, How a Quantum Leap Happens.

After his non-fiction best sellers, Fingerprints of the Gods and Supernatural, Graham wrote his first novel, Entangled! More information and a preview of the first four chapters are available on the Entangled website. And a short video promo can be seen below:


“It will force historians and archaeologists to reconsider ancient human activity and consciousness.”

South Africa in March?

http://tinyurl.com/232mklt …the most awesome lineup of leading international authors and researchers to come to South Africa…This is going to be a feast for the fans and fanatics.
Glastonbury’s MEGALITHOMANIA comes to South Africa
The conference is presented by Michael Tellinger, author of ‘Temples of the African Gods & Slave Species of god’ who has uncovered an advanced ancient civilization that stretches across our home country of South Africa, and whose research is becoming a worldwide sensation.

Read Michael Tellinger’s story:

 
 It begins this way:

Scholars have told us that the first civilization on Earth emerged in a land called Sumer some 6,000 years ago. Recent archaeological findings suggest that the Sumerians may have inherited some of their knowledge from an earlier civilisation that emerged many thousands of years earlier in southern Africa, the cradle of humankind. More than 100,000 years ago, early humans built a stone calendar that precedes all other man-made structures found to date. This discovery is so astounding that it requires a true paradigm shift in our approach to ancient human activity, as it takes us closer to the emergence of the earliest humans on planet Earth.

This “African Stonehenge”, which we call Adam’s Calendar, has created for the first time a link to the countless other stone ruins in southern Africa and suggests that these ruins are much older than we thought. The complex that links Waterval Boven, Machadodorp, Carolina and Dullstroom covers an area larger than modern-day Johannesburg and has emerged as the largest and most mysterious ancient city on Earth. The discoveries of petroglyphs of winged discs and carved dolerite statues of giant birds, some resembling the hawk-headed god Horus, suggest that the prototype Sumerian and Egyptian civilisations had their origins in southern Africa thousands of years before they emerged in the north.
Some bits and pieces:

It is generally estimated by scholars that there are about 20,000 ancient stone ruins scattered throughout the mountains of southern Africa…my personal explorations on foot and by air over the past two or more years, I can confidently estimate the number of ancient stone ruins to be closer to 100,000…This finding immediately poses a huge problem forarchaeologists, anthropologists and historians because the accepted history of this part of the planet does not place, at any time in our past, anywhere nearly enough people here to have built this number of structures…It takes us further back in time, closer to the emergence of Homo sapiens, than any other structure ever found to date, and it will force historians and archaeologists to reconsider ancient human activity and consciousness.

PLEASE HELP, SASHA NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

Sasha Shulgin, one of the lights of our time, has had a stroke and needs financial help. He’s a lovely man, known to many of us since the 80s when he gave us MDMA, popularly known as ecstasy, and went on to systematically synthesize and publish a vast catalog of entheogenic substances. I’ve thought that if you put ecstasy in the drinking water, even a one-time exposure to the pure stuff (not what they use at raves where they adulterate it), everyone would get a revelation about how we can keep our hearts open, which is the doorway to happiness. On my blog, column left, in Outside the Box Ideas, I have this entry: ” 7. Give ecstasy to people we want info from — turn evil people into heart-connected ones.”

This is a communication that was sent to me that i am passing along:

PLEASE HELP, SASHA NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

MDMA, popularly known as ecstasy, is a chemical substance that engenders emotional openness, trust and often deep psychological healing. It is one of the few drugs that has been phenomenally effective as a therapeutic agent in psychotherapy, but was also adopted by rave dance culture and demonized by the drug control establishment, and listed as a controlled substance. However, recently approved new studies using it with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) have shown that it can be tremendously effective, in some cases apparently offering a cure after only one or a few sessions. Ironically, many believe that if Sasha had not altruistically put it in the public domain, but had instead allowed it to be patented by a major pharmaceutical company, it would still be legal.

Yesterday, on the way to the hospital for a scheduled test, Sasha had a stroke. He has been struggling for six months with an ulcer on his left foot that won’t heal, hoping to avoid amputation. Sasha & Ann have been in serious financial trouble for some years, and the coming medical bills will be a burden they can’t bear alone. Please, express your gratitude for all the work that Sasha has done, for everything he has given to the world, and give something back. Think of all the ways that your life, and the lives of others, have been healed, transformed, and bettered by this wonderful man. He needs your help now. No amount is too small or too large. Please give until it feels good…not until it hurts.
