This is pretty widely shared info, so chances are you may have already seen this video on 2012 from Michael Tsarion where he gives a talk at the Granada Forum in Los Angeles, 2006 about our hidden past and potential future. But I wanted to post this and share it regardless, this video is quite good. Enjoy and feel free to share your views on this video. I’ll be updating the featured videos section very soon.
The world’s not flat and by now I am hoping that many people are starting to figure out that our past has quite a few hidden surprises when it comes to ancient civilizations. From a post made at Mysterytopia.com:
A lost world has been found in Antarctica, preserved just the way it was when it was frozen in time some 14 million years ago. The fossils of plants and animals high in the mountains is an extremely rare find in the continent, one that also gives a glimpse of a what could be there in a century or two as the planet warms. A team working in an ice-free region has discovered the trove of ancient life in what must have been the last traces of tundra on the interior of the southernmost continent before temperatures began to drop relentlessly.An abrupt and dramatic climate cooling of 8°C in 200,000 years forced the extinction of tundra plants and insects and brought interior Antarctica into a perpetual deep-freeze from which it has never emerged, though may do again as a result of climate change. An international team led by Prof David Marchant, at Boston University and Profs Allan Ashworth and Adam Lewis, at North Dakota State University, combined evidence from glaciers, from the preserved ecology, volcanic ashes and modelling to reveal the full extent of the big freeze in a part of Antarctica called the Dry Valleys. The new insight in the understanding of Antarctica’s climatic history, which saw it change from a climate like that of South Georgia to one similar to that seen today in Mars, is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “We’ve documented the timing and the magnitude of a tremendous change in Antarctic climate,” said Prof Marchant. “The fossil finds allow us to examine Antarctica as it existed just prior to climate cooling at 13.
9 million years ago. It is a unique window into the past. To study these deposits is akin to strolling across the Dry Valleys 14.1 million years ago.” The discovery of lake deposits with perfectly preserved fossils of mosses, diatoms and minute crustacea called ostracods is particularly exciting, noted Prof Lewis. “They are the first to be found even though scientific expeditions have been visiting the Dry Valleys since their discovery during the first Scott expedition in 1902-1903,” he said.
If you recall the finding long ago of a map that was supposed to have outlined landmasses and coastlines of the North Pole and so on, that was not supposed to have been known about due to the ice formations and the sheer age alone…
In 1929, a group of historians found an amazing map drawn on a gazelle skin.
Research showed that it was a genuine document drawn in 1513 by Piri Reis, a famous admiral of the Turkish fleet in the sixteenth century.
His passion was cartography. His high rank within the Turkish navy allowed him to have a privileged access to the Imperial Library of Constantinople.
The Turkish admiral admits in a series of notes on the map that he compiled and copied the data from a large number of source maps, some of which dated back to the fourth century BC or earlier.
The Piri Reis map shows the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The northern coastline of Antarctica is perfectly detailed. The most puzzling however is not so much how Piri Reis managed to draw such an accurate map of the Antarctic region 300 years before it was discovered, but that the map shows the coastline under the ice. Geological evidence confirms that the latest date Queen Maud Land could have been charted in an ice-free state is 4000 BC

A subject that might possibly be amongst the most mysterious and most debatable…the crystal skulls. These skulls have launched a lifetime of fascination, debate, scrutinization and even a very cool movie recently released. Of course there’s also been numerous documentarys as well as other not so well done movies from past years. Since the first debatable discovery of the crystal skull found by British explorer F. A. Mitchell-Hedges, who claimed that his daughter unearthed it in 1924. Mitchell-Hedges led an expedition in the ancient Mayan ruins of Lubaantun, in Belize. Of course it was released later on that the discovery and the details were fabricated. Even though, the entire mythos behind these skulls are very interesting!
There are 13 skulls that are rumored and believed to have been created by extraterrestrials or beings in Atlantis or Lemuria. One elaborate theory maintains that the skulls were left behind by a sophisticated Inner Earth society which lives at the hollow center of our planet, and there are thirteen “master skulls” which contain the history of these people. Now while I personaly do not believe that these skulls were created by ET’s, or some advanced race from beyond the stars, I do believe however, that these skulls were created by a once proud people called the Aztecs simply because they were very adept at working with crystal. And also given the fact that the Aztecs were a very religious people of whom took their religion very seriously to the point where the Aztecs would most assuradly have passed the skull crafting down through the generations and so on to keep their traditions very much alive for future generation of worship and devotions.
A few of the mystical crystal skulls:
