The Tomb of St. Philip



Tomb of the Christian apostle St. Philip, erected in Hierapolis,
Turkey's interior. The construction is located in a Byzantine church.


TURKEY | ITALY. Lecce (province and city). For more than two thousand years, the location of the tomb of the apostle Philip in Turkey was only a legendary tradition. Now, it is a fact proven by archaeologists from the University of Salento. The finding is the result of a long process of historical research. In the Turkish city of Hierapolis, on the slopes of the mountains that rise up near the village of Pamukkale - Turkey the tomb of Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, martyred in 80 AD was found.




The archaeological expedition led by Professor Francesco D'Andria confirmed the authenticity of the monument located in the ruins of a fifth century Byzantine church that was built to house the tomb. The excavations were conducted by an international team formed by Italians, Germans, French and Norwegian. The same location, was scenery of the apostle's death.

According the director of graduate studies in archeology at the University of Salento (Ateneo Salentino) geophysical technologies were used to identify certain cavities in the structure of the church. It was found that a second and unknown church, had been built around a Roman tomb of the first century. Several factors allowed us to identify this second church that - by the traditional knowledge, housed the tomb of the apostle. [trans. Lygia Cabus]

Nibiru : A Cosmic Threat, a cosmic fate



This video was posted in YouTube in 31, july of 2011. The images show the 'two suns' phenomenon - in all the world. Beteween the sequences, texts of Nostradamus prophecies, in two languages: spanish and english.


On the last two years, images of the sunset where, nearby the king star, on its left or on its right appears a second luminous body smaller in its dimensions but very bright e visible became more often. The phenomenon has been called 'the two suns'.

The official reports, of Nasa about the matter, (however) minimize the occurrences and explain the 'second sun' like being a simple like a flash of light ephemeral, without importance, delayed perception of the explosion of a red supergiant star named Betlegeuse. The explosion would had occurred over around 590 years ago. Other academic scientists consulted, do not give to the apparition nor even the status of something real, would be just an optical illusion, a reflection of the Sun produced by certain meteorological conditions.

Nevertheless, for many scholars of the 'marginal science' like ufology, exobiology, anthropology, extraterrestrial achaeological - by example - this second sun is Nibiru, the mysterious planet apocalyptic - to which some specialists refer in the context of ancient history of Mesopotamia - to which some specialists refer in the context of ancient history of Mesopotamia.

Specialists like the philologist in arcanes scriptures and dead languages, Zecharia Sitchin (wrote numerous books about this theme) who decoded the cuneiform, claims to have found accounts of the transit of Nibiru planet,a celestial body that, transiting in an orbit situated between Mars and Venus, approaches Earth in cicles of 3,600 years causing, by the interference of its gravitacional field in the solar system, the emergence of great natural catastrophes able to exterminate Mankinds - entire civilizations




In their coded language, antiquity's occultists, civilization priests and wise men along the epochs, in their scriptures, they named planets, to all heavenly bodies - both those endowed with light Herself as the bodies devoid of light. Thus, the Sun and even the moon, the Earth satellite, are included in the list of 'planets' of ancient astrology. The picture shows, according to this esoteric tradition - the relative position of Nibiru, the called 'twelfth planet' by Z. Sitchin


Skeptics argue that the "factor Nibiru" is a reality, someone, in some official level of information would have given the alarm. However, an alarm would be useless because an event of this magnitude is something that is totally beyond the control of any governmental authority of the planeta and these cases, it is known that the common rule is "let's avoid spreading panic" - an attitude that is not without sense, since there is nothing to do but wait for the final collapse.

It makes no difference die screaming by terror with advance, or quiet, without voice, astonished by the unexpected. Indeed, unofficial alarms are published in newspapers around the world but they are discredited - immediately - by the official agencies of astronomy, like NASA and other space agencies have done.

The Nibiru cited by the ancient Mesopotamians would have, for example, the cause of disappearance of Atlantean civilization - identified by esoterism as the 'Fourth Humanity' that dominated this planet before the actual. Literature about the mysteries of Anthropogenesis also attributes to aliens from Nibiru the creation, through genetic manipulation, of the first human race ( in opposition to ethereal), even older than the Atlantean Race, the primitives lemurians - hybrids, reptile-mammal, because the inhabitants of Nibiru are the famous reptilians of the literary fiction and popular film.

Nibiru - is also called Planet X, Red Planet and even as the 'The Planet of Purgation' or of the purification of Earth Mankinds (*), according to some lines of thought Spiritist because it is described as a giant celestial body and almost invisible in its insidious process of rapprochement. When it becomes visible, is a sign that the end of a time is near. Let's meditate - and ... try avoid panic.


(*) Some spiritists call - Nibiru - with the inelegant expression "hickey Planet" because its transcendental mission is, periodically - collect the disembodied spirits in catastrophes, spirits that have not evolved enough to be part of a New Era of Humanity, a renewed humanity and better than the current, also called the Sixth Human Race, because this - the current, would be the Fifth Human Race. These ideas are exposed in a wide esoteric literature, like Anthropogenesis by HP Blavatsky or the spiritist," Exilados de Capela" (Exiles Chapel).

Mayas: The Stele of number 6


Monument Maya similar to the Stele of number 6, in exibition in La Venta Park Museum


MEXICO – Recently was publicized the information the discovery in Tabasco (one of 31 Mexican states. Capital: Villahermosa) of a supposedly archeological new find belonging to Mayan culture: the Stele of number 6, a stone compostion that could contain prophetic signs about the end of the world.

The midia announced the fact, but in true, Estela No. 6 was found in 1958 in the hills Tortuguero, at Macuspana. Today, it is under the guardianship of the Museum of Anthropology and History Carlos Pellicer House. The piece was never shown to the public.

The stele, which is not a single object but a monument, it is the only document of the Mayan classic period that specifically refers to the date 13.0.0.0.0.0 Ajaw K'ank'kin 3, meaning the equivalent of 21 or 23 December 2012. Therefore, many consider that the stele No. 6 contains something like a prophecy about the end of the World.

However, according to the Maya's Collection director, that brings together ancient hieroglyphs and iconography (Ajimay-INAH), Carlos Pallana Gayol: What we know is that, according to the Mayans the Stella indicates the end of a period and not the end of the world or the advent of a disaster.

The Mystery of the Stone of Dam



RIO GRANDE DO SUL – Between the towns of Pinhal Grande e Estrela Velha, for over 40 years, a rock withabout 30 pounds and 35 inches wide is in exposition in the second floor of the engine room of Hydroelectric Itaúba. Until recently, this stone was merely a reminder of the history of dam construction. She was the Stone of CEEE (State ElectricityCompany / RS). The simbols engraved on the rock were only a curiosity.

More recently, a photo of the stone arrived in the hands of Taís Vargas Lima. She is PhD in Rock Art and teaches at the University of the Campaign (URCAMP / Alegrete city). Lima Vargas came into contact with various specialists. Initial analysis has clarified that the marks on the rock are, in fact, inscriptions and the approximate age of the object is five thousand years.

The Stone of Dam is unlike any other archeological discovered of this kind on the region. The most important mark of this piece of stone is the the inscription because it is high relief.

Fossils of prehistoric reptiles found in the state of Santa Catarina



SANTA CATARINA – At the Alto Vale do Itajaí [Itajaí Valley], the Museu Paleoarqueológico e Histórico [Paleo-Archeological and Historic Museum], in the city of Taió, received some rarities. The newest findings are fossils that may be older than the dinosaurs.

The samples were found by the small farmer Mr. Rafael Cichoki, in Santa Terezinha, hinterland of Taió. According Mr. Cichoki, his son was walking cycling at the neighborhoods when began to pay attention in certain rocks. The boy noticed that the stones had marks: remains of petrified animals. He collected some of these stones.

For the geologist Mr. Douglas Fernando Silva, fossils can be of mesossauros, prehistoric marine reptiles. The findings support the hypothesis that the region, one day in the remote past, was a sea. The material will be sent to Rio Grande do Sul for analysis.

The Mysteries of Pedra Pintada


RORAIMA — In the state of Roraima, at the northwest of Brazil, near the border with Venezuela, the existence of pictures and inscriptions made on ancient rocks arouse the mystery on the more remote past, of this region of the globe.

The lithographs, are found over an area of 600 square meters and represent human figures in profile to the Egyptian style, horses, cars with wheels and a system of write that appears to be a unknown alphabet.

Similar inscriptions exist at a place named Pedra de Itamaracá at a region called Xingu, north of Mato Grosso state. This stone of the Xingu is visible only during the dry season when river waters level declines.

The same phenomenon occurs at Negro river, where the low water reveals the secrets of the hidden stones that pass the major part of the time far from the human eyes. These stones has paints and gravings depict men, animals, circles and another signals that resemble to semitic alphabets.

These archaeological findings are completely incompatible with the culture of indians that the settlers found in the New World of sixteenth century. This reinforces the theory that the peoples of antiquity, adventurers from the east, reached the shores of Latin America long before the Mariners-era Great Navigations.

The Lost City of Bahia



In the Livraria Pública da Corte, actual Biblioteca Nacional, at the city of Rio de Janeiro [Public Library of the Real Court, actual National Library], in 1839, an ancient and manuscript was found by the naturalist Manuel Ferreira Lagos. The title of the document was Relação historica de uma occulta, e grande povoação antiquissima sem moradores (Historic relations of a hidden much ancient, great city and without residents). In the catalogo, it is the 512 number document.

The story begins when the expeditionaries found a very brilliant montain. Glow of cristals. The men were admired with the landscape, but they could not climb the rock formation. A man, trying to reach a white deer (albino, perhaps), found a trail, a road built at the inner of the mountain. Through there, the expedition followed its way. From the top of the mountain they saw a great village, it was a city, in true. It was empty, without residents. Apparently, there was nobody there.

The stone way was the unique access to the city. At the entrance there were three big arcs. In the middle stood the largest arch flanked by two other, smaller. On the largest arc there was a inscription. However, the signs, were being illegible and for this, they could not be copied or identified. The houses were well made and symmetric. Seeming like a only one construction, were, in true numerous individual buildings.

Exploring the interior of the housings, the expedition found no furniture or any other object. At the end of the street, there was a square. There, existed a huge black coluna on whose top there was the statue of a man. The man had his left hand on the hip while his right arm stood pointed to the North Pole. In each corner of the square had an obelisc in ancient roman style. On the main portic of the street also there was a figure made of the same stone naked from the waist up wearing a crown of laurels and a shield with inscriptions. READ MORE

THE AMAZONAS'S MUSEUM AT ROOFLESS


Manaus ─ Amazonas: The archeological site Hatahara, located at Iranduba city, 25 km of Manaus, state capital, will be the first archaeological museum at the roofless of the country.
 
The project aims to get people to the site of excavations através de uma trilha de 600 metros de extensão. Situated at Iranduba's urban zone, at the confluence of the rivers Negro and Solimões, In Hatahara were found urns, vases and pottery ware.

Many of the objects show paintings and carvings representing the animal heads, these objects are called Caretinhas [something like small masks]. In 2006 was found the first entire skeleton of an Indian buried between the 8th century and the 12 DC. The body was in an Indian cemetery, just a meter deep.

According data of the Centro de Arqueologia dos Biomas da Amazônia, the Amazon basin [watershed] has been occupied by more than 10 thousand years. Even the fifteenth century, the region was densely populated by indigenous people.

The mapping of archaeological sites in Amazonas began in 1995 with the Central Amazon Project, created by researchers Michael Heckenberger (Departamento de Antropologia, Universidade da Florida), James Petersen (Departamento de Antropologia, Universidade de Vermont) e Eduardo Góes Neves (Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, Universidade de São Paulo). The project includes about 150 archaeological sites in the region.
