ATLANTIUM Episode XLI

DRAGON'S TRIANGLE...UFO BASE?

Google Earth the extremely popular web site that allows the general public to view the Earth from space has spawned a new application....Satellite Archaeology. An army of amateur Sat-Sleuths have found thousands of amazing objects and anomalies all over the face of the Earth by scanning high resolution Satellite images. Google uses high quality color photos taken from space and stitches them together to form a continuous composite of the entire globe. A completely unforeseen benefit of this technology is the ability to spot strange and unique structures both on the surface and below the oceans that could only be seen from the air. One such photo captures two disc shaped objects just under the surface of the ocean traveling in tandem. These discs although thought provoking could have a much more down to earth explanation. What makes these objects even more intriguing is that they were photographed in the heart of the Dragon's Triangle.

The Dragon's Triangle is the antithesis of the Devil's Triangle or Bermuda Triangle which lies off the coast of Florida. The Dragon's Triangle is situated off the coast of Japan almost on the same parallel on exactly the opposite side of the world. Just like the Bermuda Triangle the Dragon's Triangle has generated stories for centuries of strange unworldly events. The Dragon's Triangle however has produced much richer details of highly sophisticated flying craft that enter and leave the waters just off the coast of Japan. These flying craft possess amazing capabilities, according to dozens of eyewitness that have observed the craft. These machines can fly at great speeds and maneuver in any direction with tremendous agility. Perhaps the most impressive capability of these craft are their underwater operations. The craft enter the ocean at high rates of speed and dive or skim just under the surface. The wake created when entering or leaving the water can lift a large ocean vessel dangerously high out of the water. Tales of many ships and crew being lost to these treacherous waters goes back thousands of years. More recently Japan lost five military vessels between 1952 and 1954 with combined crews of 700. Japanese Naval officials alarmed by the loss commissioned a research vessel in 1954 with 31 scientists aboard to investigate the strange disappearances. The Kaiyo Maru No. 5 was sent into the heart of the Dragon's triangle and was never heard from again. The Japanese government quickly declared the area a hazard and extremely dangerous to shipping.

Japan has a rich and fascinating history with regards to UFOs. The culture has recorded many accounts of encounters with UFOs and their operators. One painting discovered on a cave wall documents two UFOs and their pilots hovering over a herd of wild game animals holding weapons that look like rifles and taking aim at the herd. This is a matter of fact illustration created by someone who most likely witnessed this event. This would seem to have very powerful ramifications. Dozens of these incredible images are known to exist, another color image from 900 A.D. clearly addresses the siting of a flying disc. The highly technical drawing features portals and what appears to be a hatch at the top of the vehicle. One myth that ties all of the recorded sitings together is the enigma of the Dogu. The Dogu figurines have been showing up for centuries, these little clay figures embody the epitome of the modern alien. Thousands have been found and they are believed to be thousands of years old many perhaps dating back 12,000 years. The detail of the figurines is stunning if looked at with modern understanding. The Dogu appear to be wearing a pressure suit. This suit is depicted with valves, gauges, vents, hoses, fittings and a very sophisticated helmet that features large goggles with articulating irises. On the surface these figures could represent the pilots of the craft that have been seen for centuries emanating from the Dragon's triangle. The suits wore by the Dogu could have been both protection from the vacuum of space and the pressures of the deep ocean. One ancient Japanese myth describes how the Dogu came from the ocean each day out onto the land to assist villagers. The Dogu gave instructions to the primitive people on virtually every subject and helped them with learning how to make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. What ever the inspiration for the Dogu figurines it was powerful. The clay spacemen have been found all over the entire country and in great numbers. It is possible that they were seen and interpreted as gods. Their popularity undoubtedly spread across the whole ancient Japanese culture and they were warmly worshiped. Is the Dragon's Triangle just an unstable geological vortex? Are the hundreds of sightings of advanced flying craft a side effect of ocean sickness? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is "NO". In a court of law an overwhelming preponderance of evidence can send a man to the gallows without one stitch of physical evidence. If this same tenant were to be applied to the mystery of the Dragon's Triangle the conclusions could be simply astonishing. ATLANTIUM. Roc Hatfield/Author

ATLANTIUM Episode XL

ANCIENT ROCKET SHIP FOUND IN ISTANBUL

Zecharia Sitchin one of the leading writers and investigators of the Astro Archaeology movement has traveled the world many times over in search of out-of-place-artifacts. He discovered that the Istanbul Museum of Archaeology had been holding a stone carved relic that so closely detailed a modern space capsule that they refused to display it. The curators assumed that it had to be a hoax. The amazing vehicle displays many features of a modern day capsule, rocket exhaust nozzles in the back, and a cockpit with pilot seated and wearing a pleated flight suit with his hands at the controls. After meeting with the museum curators and studying the carving Zecharia Sitchin determined the artifact was consistent with many others that he had seen from ancient times and suggested that the museum display the artifact. He encouraged the curators to allow museum visitors to make up their own minds as to whether the object was a spaceship.

Zecharia Sitchin has made it his life's work studying the mysterious artifacts and writings from our ancient past. Stichin points out that our current scientific view of the past does not include spaceships and star travel. But he has uncovered a vast menagerie of artifacts and ancient texts that overwhelmingly point to the existence of a highly advanced ancient world. The Istanbul rocket ship could not have been carved solely from the imagination of an ancient artisan. The engineering details would have been simply impossible to guess at. The model clearly demonstrates that the carver was a first person witness to a much larger craft. The arrangement of the engines in the rear, the pilots sitting position and pleated pressure suit are not details an ancient carver would conceive on his own. Many of the details are repeated in artifacts found halfway around the world in Central America. The Maya left us a compendium of their space fleet in the stone that adorned the massive Temples and Pyramids that rise high above the jungle canopy. Once again the question is raised as to how were these ancients capable of creating works of art that modeled spacecraft with such rich detail. It must be said that just as the Istanbul museum curators were resistant to displaying their ancient rocket ship Mayan researchers are adamantly opposed to any spacecraft or spacemen references to their beloved Maya. Almost to the man mainstream researchers have elaborate accounts of what these spacecraft look alike objects really are. They explain them as religious artifacts that were used by the Kings. Or, they are symbols of the underworld where their gods dwelled. Are these individuals completely blind or are they just following the company line in order to keep their jobs and funding intact? Whatever the real answer luckily we have dedicated researchers like Zecharia Sitchin who don't answer to a higher buck and is out there opening new doors and asking compelling questions. The Maya not only carved exquisite detailed cut-a-way drawings of their vessels they were the most proficient star gazers. At least modern science doesn't deprive them of there astrological expertise. The tone was set by the church in Spain when the Conquistadors massacred the Mayan descendants all in the name of the church and state and some gold of coarse. Modern Universities and Institutions are the direct inheritors of this warped thinking. Once a doctrine is in place it can not be altered under any circumstances. Even if these brilliant individuals found a working rocket under a Temple they would say that it just looks like a rocket it really is a religious symbol used by the King to worship the underworld. This is the core reason that our true history will never be given serious study by the mainstream and that any references to spacemen or spaceships will always generate a roll of the eyes and a chuckle. Are all of these ancient artifacts just religious symbols that just happen to resemble modern space vehicles? Is the Istanbul rocket ship just a bunch of Instan-bull? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is "NO". Occam's Razor is a principal attributed to the 14th century Francican Friar William of Occham. The principal states; "All things being equal the simplest explanation tends to be the right one." In the case of the ancient spaceship artifacts we can be certain which side old Occam would have come down on. ATLANTIUM. Roc Hatfield/Author
