Lost Egyptian City Revealed
Lost Egyptian City Revealed Nothing floats the Museum of Mysteries’ boat more than new Egyptian discoveries… Enjoy! (HuffPost) “It is a city shrouded in myth, swallowed by the Mediterranean Sea and buried in sand and mud for more than 1,200 years. But now archeologists are unearthing the mysteries of Heracleion, uncovering amazingly well-preserved artifacts that tell the story of a vibrant classical-era port. Known as Heracleion to the ancient Greeks and Thonis to the ancient Eygptians, the city was rediscovered in 2000 by French underwater archaeologist Dr. Franck Goddio and a team from the European Institute for Underwater Acheology (IEASM) after a four-year geophysical survey.

The Atacama Humanoid A new documentary film premiering on April 22nd is said to contain images and DNA evidence of a possible “extraterrestrial being” they have dubbed the Atacama Humanoid - By Lee Speigel (Huff Post) “An upcoming documentary promises to show an alleged, tiny “alien” being that was found a few years ago in Chile’s Atacama Desert.

If this is…

The Giant That Guards The Badlands
The Giant That Guards The Badlands Some of the amazing natural oddities that we can see from the sky are even more spectacular than the ones we’ve made ourselves. This is an excellent example of Earth’s geology as sculptor… The Badlands Guardian (Atlas Obscura) “Located in southeastern Alberta, Canada, near Medicine Hat, this great geological wonder can only be seen from high above the ground. Nevertheless, its humanoid details are stunning when one considers that human hands took no part in shaping this large mass of rock. The profile was formed by the erosion of rainwater on layers of clay-rich soil. Viewed from the air, the feature bears a strong…

“Resurrection Ecology” Is Here.
“Resurrection Ecology” Is Here. The “de-extinction” project’s big TEDx conference at the National Geographic headquarters is a wrap but you can watch it in its entirety here. And now the ethical and scientific questions are abuzz, and many people are comparing what their doing to a “Jurassic Park” scenario. The bottom line is the science is not able to use DNA as ancient as dinosaur, so the comparison is not appropriate. So then, what will these ground breaking scientists be “resurrecting”? Think carrier pigeon and woolly mammoth, which, in our opinion, is spectacularly exciting. We wish these science pioneers the very best of luck. We will keep you posted on…

Structure Older Than The Pyramids Discovered In Wales
Structure Older Than The Pyramids Discovered In Wales Since I tend to suspect that the Egyptian pyramids are a lot older than mainstream Egyptologists claim, this headline may not be perfect – but the point is, WOW! There was some very interesting civilization and culture going on in Europe in prehistoric times. My guess is that we will be discovering a lot more of this type of thing in the next few years, and with those discoveries we will find that human civilization is a lot older than we had thought - Builders excavating site for housing estate in Wales discover foundations of a meeting house ‘older than the Egyptian…
