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 XXXVIII

HOLLOW EARTH THEORY

Journey to the center of the Earth, the classic Jules Verne novel was originally published in French in 1864. The story tells the tale of a Professor, his Nephew and a hired guide who climb down into a volcano in Iceland and eventually reach the center of the Earth. The rag tag explorers encounter numerous monsters and amazing vistas as they climb deeper and deeper into the Earth. This Civil War era tale has great relevance to a growing number of Hollow Earth Theorists. These researchers have gathered volumes of information from old tribal myths and modern reports of Unidentified Submerged Objects or USOs and combined them to create what they call the Hollow Earth Theory.

In the early 1920's Russian Explorer Ferdinand Ossendowski traveled through Mongolia and Asia speaking with the locals about the ancient tribal myth of the Kingdom of Agharti. This myth describes a subterranean Kingdom known to the Buddhist Monks as Agharti. The entrance to this world is through a cave with the inscription "This is the Gate to Agharti" carved prominently in stone above the cave's opening. Ossendowski found the same myth among dozens of cultures and tribes. Astonishingly, many of these tribes were completely unaware of each other. Ossendowski wrote a book "Beasts, Men and gods" and it became a sensation setting off a wave of expeditions to all corners of the World in search of the Hollow Earth. Adolf Hitler and his occult cabinet believed in the Hollow Earth Theory sending clandestine researchers to find the openings to the underground world. Alternative scientists have speculated that the worlds oceans were once below the surface. This prospect would require an immense amount of space. Today we know that giant caverns filled with oil sit thousands of feet below the surface. Theorists believe that a vast network of caves and tunnels could have been left behind when the oceans made there way to the surface. There are countless reports by eyewitnesses of Unidentified Submerged Objects. Records of the accounts go back to the days of Christopher Columbus and have continued unabated to our current time. Boaters and Pilots have filed hundreds of reports of siting highly sophisticated craft entering the water from the air and moving at high speed under the surface of the water. A concentration of these sitings come from witnesses traveling by boat and airplane over the Bermuda Triangle. Numerous reports have been made that detail advanced machines that are seen either entering or exiting the waters off the coast of Florida and the Bahamas. Tribes in the South American country of Peru have seen strange craft enter volcanoes and descend into Andes Mountain plateaus. The Japanese have there own unique Hollow Earth tale known as the Dogu. Dogu figurines have been found by the thousands all over the Japanese islands. These highly intricate figurines depict creatures that appear to be wearing spacesuits or diving gear. One myth tells of the Dogu coming from under the sea and walking out onto land. They would spend the day teaching the ancient Japanese how to do a multitude of tasks that made life easier and richer. At the end of the day they would return to the water and disappear below the surface. The Dogu were said to be from a world far below the sea. Other more ethereal myths describe a huge city that is hidden below ground. Shamballah is inhabited by very enlightened people who have reached a oneness with God. They live in their advanced city completely apart from the surface dwellers. On occasion they will meet with surface representatives and share some of their great wisdom and knowledge with them. A great city of Peace from which all understanding has come. The city of Salem in the Hebrew Bible is most likely taken from the same ideal. Jeru-Salem which means City of Peace was the home of Melchizedek a great spiritual leader who instructed Abraham on the ways of Peace and the path to God. Could the Hollow Earth Theory be just a tribal myth? Are the Hollow Earth Theorists just a bunch of wacky Sci-Fi fanatics? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is "NO". Many artifacts and eyewitness accounts from ancient times up through today point to the possibility that there could be caves and large caverns under the Earth's surface. Ancient humans may have found openings to these large underground expanses and returned with fantastic accounts of what they saw while on the road to Shamballah.

ATLANTIUM Episode XXII

GREETINGS FROM DREAMTIME

The ancient Aborigines the oldest know race of humans on the planet tell of a state of reality known as "Dreamtime". They believe our world was created by spirit beings in an earlier age called Dreamtime. This age began at the dawn of time and continues even until today. Aborigines have always believed that there are two realities, one is the world around us and the other is Dreamtime. In their detailed myths these spirit beings came to earth in shinning boats, flying canoes that sailed high above the water. Wanjina came down from the sky and lived on the land and when they became tired they returned to their abode in sky clouds. In the many caves around Ayres Rock the Aborigines have left portraits of how the Wanjina appeared to them over 18,000 years ago.

Much more recently the Egyptians carved a panel in the Step Pyramid at Saqqara that prominently features a man sized creature with large almond shaped eyes. The "Mothman of Saqqara" is an insect looking being that would be very menacing in appearance if seen in person. The creature was placed in among a group of humans working on the Pyramids and could have potentially been instructing them. The Egyptian creature is named after the Mothman legend of Clendenin, West Virgina. Members of this sleepy town discovered a bazaar creature living in an abandoned TNT factory near town. It was described as a human sized moth like being with large reflective eyes that could fly. The town suffered from the collapse of its Silver Bridge leaving 46 dead the week before Christmas in 1966. Many still until today believe that the Mothman was there to warn residents or observe the Bridge collapse tragedy. After the tragedy the Mothman was never seen again. The 8000 year old rock drawings at Val Comonica Italy depict two ancient human like beings floating as if weightless and dressed in what today could be described as spacesuits. The beings are holding instruments of some sort and wearing helmets made of a clear glass bubble. A cave drawing made by early man in Africa revels a humanoid creature clearly wearing a protective suit and helmet. Flying discs are swirling above his head. The discs are drawn from the side and from below. In Japan as many as 15,000 Dogu figurines have been found throughout the island. These highly intricate clay figurines range in age from 10,000 to 2500 years old. Very little is known about the Dogu figurines. Researches believe that the Dogu were fertility gods or religious icons. However the figurines are amazingly similar to many of the other ancient images found throughout the world. The figurines are also called "divers". In the years after deep diving suits were invented observers noticed how closely the outfits resembled diving gear. This was long before the advent of space flight and spacesuits. Today's deep diving suits feature claw like hands for workers to manipulate objects from inside their pressurized suits. Many of the Dogu figures have claw like hands extending from their arms. The Dogu could be 3D representations of the Aborigines' Wanjina. The Dogu and Wanjina both share many of the same features. Large goggle like eyes, a small vent like nose and an oversized suit. The observation suggests that the Dogu were dressed in a manner that protected them from the earths' environment. The fact that so many of the figurines have been found indicates that the primitive peoples of Japan were very aware and respectful of the Dogu. Could ancient man have actually seen and interacted with all of these nightmarish creatures subsequently creating elaborate mythologies around the experience? Are these images evidence of contact by a space fairing race of beings? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is YES. Artifacts and ancient texts are surfacing that suggest that the world 50,000 to 12,000 years ago was far different from today. The world was host to super technology and served as an inter-galactic spaceport. Just as today we have people who live in the modern sophistication of large metropolitan cities while African bushmen live in primitive grass huts. This same juxtaposition could have existed in the ancient world, primitive outlanders could have come in contact with these visitors and would have been awestruck. This truly would have seemed like a Dream. Atlantium. Roc Hatfield/Author

ATLANTIUM Episode XXI

ANCIENT SPACE TRAVEL


One of the most well know stories from the Hebrew Bible is that of Ezekiel. More than 2500 years ago Ezekiel stood on the desert floor near the river Chebar where he describes being visited by a massive flying machine. Among other things he denotes how the flying machine moved, how its parts worked and how it sounded. NASA engineers stripped back all the layers of poetry and created an artist rendering of how Ezekiel's Wheel may have really appeared and the results are astounding. Ezekiel was by no means the only Bible figure to describe strange aberrations in the sky. There are countless drawings, figurines and written descriptions of exotic flying objects that have been observed from the most distant past. If you look at the evidence on the surface alone it leaves one with the impression that "Space Travel " was common place in the ancient past.

The ancient Sumer were one of the most prolific chroniclers of Space Travel. Using a cuneiform alphabet of more that 400 letters they recorded in great detail the story of the space fairing Annunaki. The Annunaki traveled to Earth from a distant planet known to them as Nibiru. The Sumer left us with an enormous cache of information including crude artist renderings. Appearing on a Sumerian clay tablet is an image of what looks like a frame from a Hollywood storyboard. A Starship that looks eerily like the Enterprise from the Star Trek series is headed directly toward our solar system. The Sun and the Planets are depicted in the familiar flat plane that we use today. One remarkable detail featured in the image seems to represent a collector array on the left front pylon. Our modern spacecraft and satellites use this same dish shaped antenna to pick up weak radio signals that travel vast distances. These images are 6500 years old but yet still seem futuristic and contain knowledge that was only rediscovered in very recent times. The ancient Rama Empire known today as India left us with a cornucopia of data related to their space program and various flying craft. Sanskrit texts that have recently been translated define a number of various craft that are classified as being able to fly in the atmosphere only, while others are capable of space travel. One story tells of a battle on the moon and in orbit between the Rama and one of its rival empires. These Rama space craft were designed to carry a contingent of soldiers to any planet for deployment. The Egyptians carved images 5000 years ago of creatures they beleived came to earth from the heavens. Images of various craft have been discovered recently at the temple Abydos. These highly controversial carvings have set traditional archaeology on its heels. The images are detailed reliefs of futuristic flying craft that mainstream historians say are just a fluke. That in fact even though these images look like modern aircraft they are just the result of panels being carved over and over a number of times leaving these completely unintentional images. More recently the skies over 16th century Europe were filled with advanced flying craft. Many Renaissance painters conspicuously included them in religious frescos. Often the craft are seen with their deft pilots at the controls. The New World has had its share of space travelers, the Maya left us a number of elaborate stone carvings that reveal highly technical illustrations of space craft. Even ancient Japan has a long heritage of artifacts, writings and paintings that memorialize fantastic flying machines and their operators. The Dogu figurines dating back 10,000 to 30,000 years are an enigma. These ancient astronauts with there intricately carved spacesuits and helmets were made by humans that according to modern science were just emerging from their caves. These awesome looking figurines have been found in many areas and are always uniquely similar. The Dogu figurines always feature large goggles, a helmet and a complex suit with pockets and straps. How could the ancient Japanese conceived of these images when they were barely beyond wearing animal skins? All of these ancient artifacts leave us with many difficult questions. How did all of these ancient primitive cultures create such compelling ideas and technological understanding? Did these ancient people produce these ideas and objects? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is NO. All of these ideas and artifacts are most likely the ancient worlds' best shot at remembering an earlier age. The age prior to our earliest recorded history, the time from 50,000 to 12,000 years ago. New and amazing information is beginning to emerge that may put mankind on a completely different footing. We may ultimately find that our real origins are well beyond the bounds of this world. ATLANTIUM. Roc Hatfield/Author
