from the description:

a vast number of statements and materials presented in the ancient vedic literatures can be shown to agree with modern scientific findings and they also reveal a highly developed scientific content in these literatures. the great cultural wealth of this knowledge is highly relevant in the modern world. techniques used to show this agreement include: - marine archaeology of underwater sites (such as dvaraka) - satellite imagery of the indus-sarasvata river system - carbon and thermoluminiscence dating of archaeological artifacts - scientific verification of scriptural statements - linguistic analysis of scripts found on archaeological artifacts - a study of cultural continuity in all these categories.

moderators: i wasn't sure where this should go. please put it in the appropriate thread...thanks, hs.

zahi hawass to drill under the sphinx!

i met with dr. zahi hawass, secretary general of the egyptian supreme council of antiquities, after he spoke for an hour to our a.r.e. group. he shared that joe jahoda, a longtime a.r.e. member, had convinced him to drill under the sphinx for a chamber.
back in 1997, jahoda and his partner, joe schor, in cooperation with florida state university, conducted ground-penetrating radar around the sphinx and found an open area in the bedrock beneath the sphinx. this opening, possibly a chamber, is 30 feet down and is estimated to be 26 feet wide and 40 feet in length. the cayce readings identify this chamber as an ante-chamber to the hall of records that is off the right front paw of the sphinx.

jahoda asked if a.r.e. would purchase the special drill necessary to drill at an angle into the limestone bedrock. kevin todeschi, ceo of a.r.e., approved the purchase, and our donation “angel,” don dickinson, agreed to help a.r.e. with this purchase. thus, the drill was purchased, crated, and shipped to egypt. zahi said that soon after the drill arrives, he’ll get his team together and begin the drilling.

it’s exciting news! we are taking a major step toward finding one of cayce’s three atlantean record caches. stay tuned for updates.

this is the amazing image which could show the fabled sunken city of atlantis.

it shows a perfect rectangle the size of wales lying on the bed of the atlantic ocean nearly 3½ miles down.

a host of criss-crossing lines, looking like a map of a vast metropolis, are enclosed by the boundary. ..

google ocean: has atlantis been found off africa?

a "grid of streets" on the seabed at one of the proposed locations of the lost city of atlantis has been spotted on google ocean.

by matthew moore

the network of criss-cross lines is 620 miles off the coast of north west africa near the canary islands on the floor of the atlantic ocean.

the perfect rectangle – which is around the size of wales – was noticed on the search giant's underwater exploration tool by an aeronautical engineer who claims it looks like an "aerial map" of a city.

the underwater image can be found at the co-ordinates 31 15'15.53n 24 15'30.53w.

last night atlantis experts said that the unexplained grid is located at one of the possible sites of the legendary island, which was described by the ancient greek philosopher plato.

according to his account, the city sank beneath the ocean after its residents made a failed effort to conquer athens around 9000 bc.

in response to this thread over in the law of one forum:

atlantean time line and archaeology

i thought some people might find this site quite interesting.
http://www.atlantisquest.com/

i'm posting this here at the moderator's request because the site does not exactly go into detail with time lines that correspond to those mentioned in the loo except for citing plato's account, which places it at around 10,000 bc.

i came across this site while looking for evidence of a primordial language. i'm very interested in linguistics and word origins.

this guy has done some very thorough research in piecing together evidence that survivors of atlantis fled to places such as north africa, the iberian peninsula and then moved as far north as the british isles based on linguistic commonalities and oddities. he makes the assertion that basque may be the closest surviving remnant of the language spoken in atlantis because it has more in common with several north african tribal languages and some of meso-america than it does to anything else in the vicinity.

there are also some very interesting sections dealing with ancient sanskrit texts describing vimanas (ancient flying craft of india) as well as hieroglyphic accounts in egypt describing a mass ufo sighting. to quote a small section from the summary page:

i believe i have successfully established that extensive areas of western europe, northwest africa, and various atlantic archipelagos were occupied by a type of modern man distinguished markedly from other "eastern" groups inhabiting the bulk of europe, asia, and the remainder of africa. this type is known to anthropologists as cro-magnon man.

i have demonstrated that there were four cro-magnon "invasions" of the continents from the west during the upper paleolithic age (the last of these "intrusions" being coincident with the sinking of atlantis), that the cultures and technologies introduced to the mainlands by these people were considerably advanced by comparison, and finally that the above assertions are amply supported by archeological, anthropological, linguistic and ethnographic data.

i have also discovered and identified a language complex, peculiar to the western portions of europe and africa only, being markedly different from and unrelated to any other on those continents. also, that this language dates back to upper paleolithic times contemporaneous with the time of atlantis. finally, that the area of this language complex corresponds exactly with that occupied by paleolithic cro-magnon man. this distinctive linguistic artifact i have labeled the berber-ibero-basque language complex.

if you're interested in this kind of stuff, check out his page. he sites all of his sources and it's a very interesting read.

peace,

thanks for the link to this website.

i remember seeing a fantastic documentary on tv about 10 years ago which traced the history of language back to an ur-sprache. they were even able to give an idea of what it possibly sounded like. i wished i had have recorded it because i have never been able to track the programme down since then

in march 2008 a exploration team, led by myself, andrew collins, discovered a massive underground complex of caves, passageways and compartments in the limestone bedrock beneath the pyramid field at giza.

i also sought the support of the association for research and enlightenment (are), the research wing of the edgar cayce foundation in virginia beach, va. they agreed to help sponsor the expedition, which finally got under way in early 2008.

i did not add this to the original post, but has collins discovered one of the fabled tunnel systems to the inner earth kingdom of agharta?

peruse this map.

the plot thickens...........

british explorer andrew collins recently created ripples in the world of archeology when he announced that he had
found a series of underground tunnels and caves beneath the giza plateau in egypt. and while mr. collins was able to
only proceed a relatively short distance, due to bats, spiders and various hostile conditions, billy meier recounted his
experiences, in 1953, of going underneath the great pyramid, far below the surface, and into a city-like compound
that had been utilized, for thousands of years, by a renegade extraterrestrial group.

the president saw a hieroglyphic her face, a sign that is carved frontally, and he remarked that the prominent ears reminded him of himself.

what's this ? the president replacing the 'all seeing eye', his triangular craft at the ready, but all is overseen by a serpent!
