In 1927 William Montgomery McGovern, at the time Assistant Curator of the South American Ethnology Field Museum of Natural History, and a Member of the Board of Oriental Studies of London, wrote a volume titled 'JUNGLE PATHS AND INCA RUINS' (The Century Co., New York & London). During his many years of travel and study in South America he came across some very interesting sites, though perhaps none so remarkable as the one described in pp. 437-438 of his volume, the ancient fort of Saksawaiman or Saksahuaman:
"...Cuzco has indeed fallen from it's ancient high estate. No longer is it the capital of a vast empire, far vaster than the limits of present-day Peru. To-day it numbers only some thirty thousand souls, whereas the ancient city had more than TEN TIMES that number. Most of the ancient palaces and temples have been destroyed by the Spaniards, but the main outlines of the city as it was in the days of the Incas can still be traced.
"On a high hill to the north of the city lie the remains of the giant citadel and fortress of Saksawaiman, which dominated the city and guarded it against attack. Three huge towers, the military residence of the Incas and their soldiers, were destroyed to provide building-stones for the Spaniards, the enormous stones of the triple ramparts still remain--stones far larger than a man's height and weighing many tons. How were they brought there, and so accurately, so delicately, put into place?
"Near the fortress are several strange caverns reaching far into the earth. Here alters to the gods of the Deep were carved out of the living rock, and the many bones scattered about tell of the sacrifices which were offered up. The end of one of these caverns, Chincana, has never been found. It is supposed to communicate by a long underground passage with the Temple of the Sun, in the heart of Cuzco. In this cavern is supposed to be hidden a large part of the golden treasure of the Inca emperors, which was stored away lest it fall into the hands of the Spaniards. But the cavern is so huge and so complicated, and so manifold are its passages, that its secret has never been uncovered.
"One man indeed is said to have found his way underground to the Sun Temple and, when he emerged, to have had two golden bars in his hand. But his mind had been affected by days of blind wandering in the subterranean caves, and he died almost immediately afterward.
Since that time many have gone into the cavern--never to return again. Only a month or two before my arrival the disappearance of three prominent people in this Inca cave caused the prefect of the province of Cuzco to wall up the mouth of the cavern, so that the secret of the treasures of the Incas seem likely to remain undiscovered for the present."...

The secret knowledge of the
Dark Star appears to be widespread within esoteric literature, as I have
discovered over the last few years. It often takes the form of an anomalous
symbol connected with 7 stars, and featured as a counterpart to the Sun and Moon
(1). Sometimes, the Dark Star is described in words, as a 'true' Sun that is
more significant than the Sun itself: For instance, the Persian and, later,
Roman cult of Mithras:
"It thus appears that the
Mithraists somehow believed in the existence of two suns: one represented by the
figure of the sun god, and the other by Mithras himself as the "unconquered
sun". It is thus of great interest to note that the Mithraists were not alone in
believing in the existence of two suns, for we find in platonic circles the
concept of the existence of two suns, one being the normal astronomical sun and
the other being a so-called "hypercosmic" sun located beyond the sphere of the
fixed stars." (2)
The fourth book of Zecharia
Sitchin's Earth Chronicles, entitled 'The Lost Realms' (1990), deals with South
American and Meso-American evidence for the existence of the Anunnaki. He
argues that early Sumerian myths transferred to South America with the migration
of the Anunnaki themselves, who were celebrated by later indigenous peoples
there as their ancient gods.

Introduction:
Teotihuac?n means 'The City of the Gods", or
"Where Men Become Gods"
(in Nahuatl). It is located in the valley of the same name 30 miles north of
Mexico City. It used to be a thriving city and ceremonial
center that predated the Aztecs by several centuries. Most likely it was
Mexico's biggest ancient city at its peak and the sixth largest city in the
world in AD 600. Teotihuacan began declining sharply around 650 AD, and was
almost completely abandoned around 750 AD. No one knows why.
At its peak around 500-600 A.D., Teotihuacan
contained perhaps 200,000 people. It was a well planned city covering nearly
eight square miles and larger and more advanced than any European city of the
time. Its civilization was contemporary with that of ancient Rome , and lasted
longer - more than 500 years.
Though archaeologists have long been fascinated
with the site, Teotihuacan's culture and history are still largely mysterious.
The civilization left massive ruins, but no trace has yet been found of a
writing system and very little is known for sure about its inhabitants, who were
succeeded first by the Toltecs and then by the Aztecs. The Aztecs did not live
in the city, but gave the place and its major structures their current names.
They considered it the "Place of the Gods" - a place where, they believed, the
current world was created.

Archeologists have discovered the ruins of an 800-year-old Aztec pyramid in the heart of the Mexican capital that could show the ancient city is at least a century older than previously thought. Mexican archeologists found the ruins, which are about 36 feet high, in the central Tlatelolco area, once a major religious and political centre for the Aztec elite. Since the discovery of another pyramid at the site 15 years ago, historians have thought Tlatelolco was founded by the Aztecs in 1325, the ... Read More
It was a sorry end. Cut down in his prime, the cunning thief lay on the slab, his cold body offering pathologist Brett Gartrell no outward sign of how he had met his maker. Once Gartrell had wielded his scalpel, however, the cause became clear: a belly stuffed with sticky brown gunk. Diagnosis? Death by chocolate. Divine - yes. Delicious - absolutely. But deadly? For some it certainly is. The corpse on Gartrell"s slab belonged not to a human but to a kea, an endangered New Zealand parrot. Like m... Read More
At its most glamorous, the life of an experimental high-energy physicist consists of smashing obscure subatomic particles with futuristic-sounding names into each other to uncover truths about the universe—using science's biggest, most expensive toys in exciting locations such as Switzerland or Illinois. But it takes a decade or two to plan and build multibillion-dollar atom smashers. While waiting, what's a thrill-seeking physicist to do? How about using some of the perfectly good, and ... Read More
In the little town of Abadiania iKnown as “John of God,” a Brazilian faith healer claims spirits take control of his body to enable him to perform surgeries without anesthesia and other healing procedures. The spiritual center he founded, located n Brazil’s remote central highlands, has been dubbed “the Lourdes of South America” (“Controversial” 2006), while he himself has been called a charlatan and worse (“Is” 2005). First alerted by a CNN producer to a John of God healing service in A... Read More
Anthony North: Who were you in a previous life? This question is now so popular that many westerners accept that they must have lived before. Believing in the phenomenon of Reincarnation, it is almost a spiritual system in itself. But what is the reality to reincarnation? I don"t know. Maybe it is exactly what people believe. But it is also possible to place other mechanisms upon the subject, and even place it in a totally new paradigm. A case study: To understand the subject in western terms, w... Read More
Carbon dating tests and excavation of a colorful pre-Incan temple indicate that it was built thousands of years ago by an advanced civilization, a prominent archaeologist said in comments published Sunday by a Peruvian newspaper. Unearthed in Peru's archeologically rich northern coastal desert, the temple has a staircase leading to an altar that was used for worshipping fire and making offerings to deities, Walter Alva, who headed the three-month excavation, told El Comercio. Some of... Read More
