ATLANTIUM Episode XXXII

HUGE PYRAMIDS IN EUROPE?

Indiana Jones the larger than life icon of the 80's blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has nothing on Bosnian Archaeologist and author Semir Osmanagic. Semir who travels the world in search of the next great discovery returns frequently to his home base in the United States. In the spring of 2006 Mr. Osmanagic discovered what may be the biggest find of his career, literally. Near the town of Visoko 15 miles north of Sarajevo stands what Semir believes is a massive ancient Pyramid. After many months of research the archaeologist has concluded that a stone Pyramid fully one third larger than the Pyramids at Giza Egypt is buried under a mountain of earth. Osmanagic has intensely studied Pyramids in Central America, Asia and Africa and now he's certain he has found the first Pyramids in Europe.

The Bosnian Pyramid is called "Pyramid of the Sun" and is thought to closely resemble a Mayan Temple. It may be accompanied by two smaller Pyramids, "Pyramid of the Moon" and the "Pyramid of Love". This would not be surprising due to the fact that other areas around the world see Pyramids in group settings. The structures are believed to be over 12,000 years old and built by an ancient European tribe known as the ILLyrians that lived some 27,000 years ago. “The pyramid is 30 stories high and there is evidence that it contains rooms and a monumental causeway … The plateau is built of stone blocks, which indicates the presence at the time of a highly developed civilization,” says Bosnian explorer Osmanagic. “Archaeological excavations near the surface have uncovered a part of a wall and fragments of steps have been reveled". The hill under which the Pyramid is buried is called Visocica and the discoverers doubt that a four sided hill with perfectly flat sides is a product of nature. Semir is continuing to organize the excavation of the site seeking to prove his hypothesis. His discovery has kicked off a fire storm of bitter controversy. It seems the establishment of Archaeologists and Scientists in Europe have already concluded that Visocica Hill is just that...a Hill. Various groups have made numerous attempts to discredit Osmanagic, some going so far as lobbying to have him shutdown and his efforts to verify the existence of the Pyramid stopped. This is not a surprise to a contrarian explorer like Osmanagic who writes books about Mayan, Peruvian and Sumerian cultures. He has found reports among the writings of these ancient civilizations that refer to the great ancestors that came to Earth from the Stars. One fact is difficult to overlook, Pyramids are located in numbers all over our planet. Chinese Pyramids have been found, Pyramids stand all throughout the Americas, Africa and even under the Ocean off the coasts of Japan and Cuba. These structures are very similar to one another and it would be hard to deny that whoever really made these monuments were communicating with one another. In the Hebrew Bible, in the chapter of Genesis the great Patriarch Moses describes the story of the Tower of Babel. Man had advanced so far with his building techniques and abilities that he decided to construct an enormous tower that would reach to Heaven. This alarmed the Angels, and upon the word reaching God he ordered that man be stifled by changing their languages so they could not work together as efficiently. Moses a student of the upper class Egyptian education system would have been taught a version of this story which was very likely passed down from the Sumer. The continuity of Pyramids being placed all over the planet points to a distant time when a very advanced global society built these structures where they pleased. It would be completely harmonious with history to find a massive Pyramid in Bosnia or in any other location. The established notion that civilization began 7000-8000 years ago is sure to be shattered. This will require a new calibration of thinking for some and others may just refuse to accept it no matter how striking the evidence. Another notable surprise was the discovery of large stone spheres in a valley not far from the Pyramid of the Sun. These large spheres are virtually identical to the Costa Rican Spheres discovered in that country in the 1930's. This discovery further highlights the possibility that ancient man was global in his pursuits. Is the Bosnian "Pyramid of the Sun" just a big pile of dirt left from the ice age? Were Pyramid shaped monoliths found all over the globe built similar by coincidence? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is "NO". The recent discovery of ancient Pyramids under the Sea off the coast of Japan and Cuba along with dozens found in the last century indicate that a global effort was involved. Many out of place artifacts have been found in recent years that open up the possibility that an advanced global civilization covered the Earth 12,000-50,000 years ago. Still with all of our modern achievements and self proclaimed enlightenment many are unwilling to except the possibilities. ATLANTIUM. Roc Hatfield/Author

ATLANTIUM Episode XXXI

MYSTERIOUS COSTA RICAN SPHERES

Nicola Tesla the arch nemesis of Thomas Edison is the most famous unrecognized inventor of modern times. Tesla is revered by amateur scientists and electrical hobbyists around the world today. He is considered to be the greatest electrical engineer ever to have lived. Tesla a Serbian born in 1856 became an American citizen and suffered many businesses failures throughout his career. He died in 1943 but left the world with a wealth of discovery and invention. Tesla's crowning achievement was his WardenClyffe project. A prototype tower that could broadcast electricity around the globe wirelessly. Tesla may have not been the first to employ this idea. Ancient granite spheres found in Costa Rica may have been used in a similar way.

In the early 1930's surveyors working in Cost Rica for the United Fruit Company discovered a large number of perfectly spherical balls. Some of the spheres were as large as eight feet across and weighing up to 16 tons. The artifacts were found near the southwest pacific coast. The company was laying out plans for banana plantations and had no archaeological appreciations they just wanted to move them and make way for their crops. Soon word spread of the discovery and hundreds of the stones were located. The stones are simply amazing in their accuracy of construction. Primarily made of granite and polished to a high gloss. The mathematical dimensions indicate that the spheres are 99.8% perfectly round. That level of accuracy exceeds even today's laser controlled milling machines for an object of that size and weight. Whoever fabricated these marvels was not only mathematically advanced but had the ability to machine very large and heavy objects. No quarries have been found anywhere near where the balls were originally discovered. The nearest large deposits of granite are in a mountain range 50 miles to the north. No tools of any kind have been discovered that could explain their construction. Building these huge spheres is only the first layer of mystery, moving 30 tons by land or river is a whole new challenge. These objects were moved over rough terrain, no roads or flat even ground. Costa Rica has no recorded history before the 16th century when it was first discovered by Christopher Columbus. A small number of Indigenous tribes lived in the areas near the stones and can be dated to 400 A.D. There is no relationship between the Indians and the spheres. Stone can not be carbon dated so the artifacts could be ancient. Many gold icons have been discovered in the ruins up and down Central America. These solid gold objects exhibit extremely technical features such as advanced aeronautical knowledge. All of these artifacts are potentially pointing to an ancient past that was full of super technology. Archaeologists and Geologist are not so ready to concede that the stone spheres are man made. They conclude that the balls could have been formed when nearby volcanoes threw molten lava miles into the air and the spheres formed and hardened on the way back down to earth. A much more plausible idea could be that the orbs are navigational and energy relays. Nicola Tesla proved he could send electricity around the globe by transmitting one side of an electric current through the air and the other side through the ground. The Costa Rican Spheres sit on the ground and are made of a conducting piezoelectric substance. Energy and information could in theory have been broadcast from the spheres to aircraft passing over head. A large amount of the stones are now used as lawn ornaments and have been moved from their original locations. Researchers were able to document the positions of a few clusters of stones. It becomes very obvious when the patterns of the stones are seen that they were not ejected from a volcano or pushed by a glacier. These stones are dense mathematical equations manifest in stone. The big question is who made and distributed these stones? One compelling possibility is handed down in the ancient records of the Chorotega Indians who many academics believe made the stones. The Chorotega believe that the stones were made by an ancient civilization that existed 12,000 years ago. The Books of Prophecy of the Chorotega Priests describe legends of ancient human beings that were looked after by beings from the stars. According to this legend man will one day also reach the stars. These beings from space were known as the Jaguar men. References to these men can be found throughout the Maya and Inca empires. Maybe they were called the Jaguar men because they had cat like features or moved in a manner similar to a Jaguar. The Chorotega Indians believed that their ancestors could be traced all the way back to the Atlantians. Did these 30 ton balls fall out of the sky and land in triangular patterns? Were they carved, sanded and moved miles by ancient Indian tribes? In the Atlantium continuum the answer is "NO". These amazing ancient artifacts are most likely part of a long forgotten navigation and energy network. Ancient aircraft traveling to destinations from beyond the Pacific to locations across the Atlantic could have used a route that took them over this gateway location for purposes of re-fueling and updating navigation information. These spheres were discovered only a few years before Nicola Tesla's death. He would have been very amused by these incredibly profound Orbs. ATLANTIUM. Roc Hatfield/Author
