      It is the arrogance of man to think that he in the present is always the pinnacle of achievement, wisdom, science…progress.

      There is far more that we don’t know about ancient history than we do know. Our modern bias thinks it is unimaginable that any previous civilization could be as “advanced” as ours.

      We may see how advanced we are in the days ahead when a “geopolitical premium” sends oil to $200 a barrel and we have to decide to drive to work or to eat.

      “12631” was the code that was used to allow Steve Jobs, and only Steve Jobs, to travel back in time to hang out with the Pumapunkuites, because the Pumapunku dudes thought he was cool and he gave them all iPads. It was like a PIN number he used in the Stargate.

    UUUHHHH!!! Ancient man are not a dumb as you think? Explain.. they built shit to make the gods happy. Some were better at it. Have you ever seen Mexicans at work? They could work circles around any Egyptian.

    I saw that show and it was impressive, whats really impressive in South America was the elaborate irrigation systems they built, their technology was very impressive, they could have easily constructed pulleys and ropes to hoist the large stones.

            The grooves in the stone, made from diarite, could only be cut with diamond tipped tools. Moreover, the stones were interlocked with one another, forming a complex structure.

            Lastly, this was done 4,000 feet above sea level, only grass grew there. The nearest quarry is 10 miles away.

            Oh, by the way, the grooves were mathematically precise, not even off by a millimeter, the entire legnth of the structure.

        17,000 years ago? Try 7,500 at the most — source: http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/egypt/history/periods.html

        Let’s not forget that large buildings are not representative of humankind’s greatest feats from that period.

        The greatest thing to ever come from even before then was written language. The first knowledge ever recorded was that of the I CHING divination system that originated as a numeric system of prediction, created by Siberian nomads to help them survive. The I CHING is so fucking good as a divination system, the Japanese still use it in major business decisions today. It is credited with helping the Vietnamese kick our ass in the Vietman War. Confucius said that if he had 50 years more to live, he would have devoted all of them to studying the I CHING.

        Any fucker can build a pyramid these days. Even our best scientists can’t fathom how the I CHING works or why. The I CHING violates statistics and logic by repeating the same unique predictive patterns for each individual over time — which is completely impossible.

        There’s your history lesson.

    THE 4 DERIVATIVE U.S. DICTATORS:
    SECRETS OF THE PLUNGE PROTECTION TEAM

    [By Michael Edward]

    There are just four people who control all of the U.S. markets through their use of dangerous and explosive DERIVATIVES. They are risking the assets and retirement funds of all Americans. Because of their manipulations, especially since 2001, U.S. financial markets are now based on the gambling whims of a special fraternity of Federal Government DERIVATIVE dealers.

    This group is known among Wall Street as the Plunge Protection Team (PPT). Their “official” role was to prevent another 1987 “Black Monday”. They have the entire U.S. Treasury at their disposal to manipulate the markets through DERIVATIVES (futures options). In other words, they are using the assets behind the U.S. Treasury to rig the prices of commodites (gold, currencies, etc.) and stocks.

    This fraternity comprises of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the heads of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Association. It works closely with all the U.S. exchanges and Wall Street banks, including the largest DERIVATIVE risk holders Citibank and JP Morgan Chase.

    Few people are aware of Executive Order 12631 signed by Ronald Reagan on March 18, 1988. In a nut shell, this is the “authority” behind the four dictators and the [sic] “laws” and “regulations” that have backed their casino-style DERIVATIVE gambling spree since 2001. Here are some highlights of this Executive Order to ponder:

    Executive Order 12631 – Working Group on Financial Markets – Mar. 18, 1988; 53 FR 9421, 3 CFR, 1988 Comp., p. 559.

    “By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, and in order to establish a Working Group on Financial Markets, it is hereby ordered as follows:

    Section 1. Establishment. (a) There is hereby established a Working Group on Financial Markets (Working Group). The Working Group shall be composed of:

    (1) the Secretary of the Treasury, or his designee;
    (2) the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or his designee;
    (3) the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or his designee; and
    (4) the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or her designee.

    Section 2. Purposes and Functions. (a) Recognizing the goals of enhancing the integrity, efficiency, orderliness, and competitiveness of our Nation’s financial markets and maintaining investor confidence, the Working Group shall identify and consider:

    (2) the actions, including governmental actions under existing laws and regulations (such as policy coordination and contingency planning), that are appropriate to carry out these recommendations.

    (b) The Working Group shall consult, as appropriate, with representatives of the various exchanges, clearinghouses, self-regulatory bodies, and with major market participants to determine private sector solutions wherever possible.

    Section 3. Administration. (c) To the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of funds therefore, the Department of the Treasury shall provide the Working Group with such administrative and support services as may be necessary for the performance of its functions.”

    Get out of the markets before the inflated DERIVATIVE bubble bursts

    The pre-911 U.S. markets showed an astounding – yet confounding and puzzling – rise for the 4 months proceeding 911. The U.S. media dubbed it a “patriotic rally”. The European Press called it a “PPT [Plunge Protection Team] rally”. Obviously, the U.S. markets were manipulated and rigged to an inflated value in advance of the 911 disaster. Was this a coordinated measure in anticipation of what was to come? Only The Powers That Be can answer that question directly.

    Since 911, there have been at least three major long-term stock market rallies. In all 3 instances, when the markets opened all the indexes began to quickly plunge. In each incidence, by early afternoon the markets were brought back from the brink of collapse to the surprise of everyone, including historical analysts. […]

    In each of these occurances, a large “no-name” buyer in the futures market secretly plunged in and bought up massive quantities of DERIVATIVES through banking groups such as JP Morgan. These were completely reckless gambling bets that the futures index [S&P] would rise even though it was obvious that it was going to fall. Because such a large amount of money was wagered on the S&P’s rise, in each instance, it reversed the market’s free-fall.

    also know as the PPT… I thought everyone knew this already

    That is horseshit. These structures are so old, they cannot be dated effectively. Most studies suggest 17,000 years or more.

    Regardless, clearly these structures show machining was used. There is no way to explain how these cavemen were able to build such a structure.

      If you’re interested in predictive systems, then create your own tulpa and ask it for its predictions. This is what consulting a prediction system is essentially doing, anyhow — tapping the subconscious or hyperconscious, whatever you want to call it.

      Read the works of Ken Batcheldor if you want to know how to create an intelligent thought form. Iris Owen also wrote an interesting book called “Conjuring Up Phillip,” which is an experiment that has been successfully repeated dozens of times by various groups around the world.

      This is essentially Westernized advanced yoga, as this was originally mastered by the Bon Po shamans of Tibet some 9,000 to 18,000 years ago. The Bon Po religion is the second-oldest religion in existence today. The modernized version of it is known as Dzogchen Buddhism.

      You can also leverage lucid dreaming techniques (also advanced yoga) to access a tulpa that does not have enough energy or focus yet for it to materialize or communicate properly. Access the tulpa in the dream instead.

      The predicted outcome is only accurate if the very specific advice from a changing line is followed. This is how the I CHING differs from other divination systems. The accuracy relies on one’s ability to take the advice and follow it. Otherwise, the prediction is worthless.

      The I CHING is good at identifying which of the 64 hexgrams apply, and the structure of the I CHING is such that it already knows what other hexagrams that energy can turn into, based on a hexagram’s qualities. The I CHING describes the fractalian nature of time/mind, and the structure within these things. No other divination system does this.

      The Barnum Effect does not account for the statistical anomalies that exist for long-term users of the I CHING. Each individual user develops recurring unique patterns that are specific to that individual. This is statistically impossible.

      Not defending — just clarifying.

          Progressing.
          Bitter limitations do not allow for persistence.

          Limitations to keep within. There is progress. Limitations that are unpleasant are usually not for always accepted.

    This alien abductee knew of the April gulf coast disaster ahead of time.

    On a separate occasion, this same abductee mentioned an interesting anecdote. Some aliens (Reptilian type) told him that there was no deep reasoning behind these ancient sites. They were merely alien architecture styles. They were only left behind because the aliens were too cheap to demolish their temporary “survey sites” , as they called them. On their home planets, these “exotic sites” are just normal, boring architecture. That explanation makes sense.

    So, even the aliens agree–the history channel needs to go back to more important subject matter: R Lee Ermey shooting at watermelons.

    Easter Island – history, heads (monoliths): http://www.netaxs.com/~trance/linklist.html
    Tiahuanaco – history from ancient times to 672 B.C.: http://www.crystalinks.com/tiahuanaco.html
    Last decisive colonization of Earth by extraterrestrials was 13,000 years ago
    Viracocoha (“Viracocha”) – semi-IHWH, fled from Lyra with followers, “Lyranians”, 11 meters tall; he conquered Tiahuanaco & Easter Island, settled on small island of Mot (today called Motunui, island near New Zealand): http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/inca/inca01.htm
    Cherubim – body guards of Viracocoha; birdlike-human creatures
    “Mot” – means “bird” in ancient Plejaren language; “Mot-Isle” means “Island of Bird-Humans”
    Easter Island & Tiahuanaco – inhabitants were descendents of extraterrestrials from earlier times who had immigrated to Earth; instructed by the fled Lyranian giants in operating “appliances & machines” to erect the giant Easter Island Heads
    Pisco, Nazca & Sacsayhuaman [all in Peru] – also settled by the giant Lyranians
    Easter Island – egg-shaped stones there represent spaceships of the giant Lyranians that had this shape
    Lyranians – after several thousand years an epidemic struck them, they fled in their spaceships, got lost in space, presumed dead; took all their technologies & instruments with them
    Easter Island Heads – red hats were an attempt by the islanders to please the giants & bring them back; hats represented the space helmets of the giants; hats made from mixture of red soil, sand & small stones, molded in a small volcanic crater, lifted into place by crane-like machines
    Last sign of giants was in a solar system of Andromeda; thousands of years later some Andromedan (180 centimeters [@5′] average height) journeyed to Earth & “brought a message of the giants to Tiahuanaco & lived there for 20 years & 7 months” (592 B.C. – @571 B.C.)
    Tiahuanaco – Andromedans constructed electrical energy centers with underground cables protected by half-tube channels (this stumps today’s archaeologists): http://www.crystalinks.com/tiahuanaco.html
    Andromedans in Tiahuanaco – @571 B.C. struck by the same mysterious epidemic that afflicted the giant Lyranians, fled into space, presumed dead
    Other giant extraterrestrial races – not all are like the Lyranians, colonized all continents of Earth
    Cyclops, titans, dwarves – also settled on all continents, either left Earth or died
    Hyperboreans – splinter group of their descendents, remembered in history as the gods & semi-gods of Greek mythology
    Heracles – @3 meters tall [son of Zeus, written of by Euripides]: http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/Heracles1.html
    Meier – saw a Hyperborean with Asket, several meters tall
    Noah – 3.10 meters tall
    Adam – slightly less than 4 meters tall
    Gilgamesh – Sumerian king/semi-god, 7.5 meters tall: http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/MESO/GILG.HTM

    My area of interest within mesoamerica has pertained more towards the ancient mexican cultures; however, there are similarities throughout. First, the dating at the site is wrong or inconclusive at best. carbon dating of obsidian at the site places the ruins potentially in the 1700 B.C. range. The smooth finish and precision of ‘drill bit’ like holes appear to be some sort of casting process. Even if this weren’t casting, there are ways to produce high quality work without common tools and there are sites detailng ancient processes of producing ‘machined’ work. The hardness of the stone does not mean it can’t be cut by materials of a lesser scale. In fact, looking at the smoothness of the doorway, for example, would indicate that it most likely was cut and smoothed by flint or obsidian. Obsidian is abundant in the area, and the mayans and aztecs used both these items in their building ventures. The metal clamp technique they were using (according to another site) was also used in egypt, and would mean they had created some sort of portable smelter. With regards to the stones, it would seem the size has been exaggerated as well. 130 tons seems to be largest documented. This aint small, i realize. however, we already know throughtout all the ancient cultures that they moved massive stones from far places all the time. In fact, relative to their culture, this would be somewhat commonplace and ‘easy’. Moving large stones was of social and religious significance. Remember, there would be a massive and dedicated workforce for these projects. I see similar iconography in many of the anicent mexican cultures. The arc they created with figure on top is similar to the arc of Labna in campeche. Also the heads protruding out the sides of walls is similar to aztec and toltec buildings (teotihuacan). The figure above the doorway also lends it self to some of the other andean cultures alhough this culture is definitely separate from them all and individual. There is no denying that their architectural prowess was original, and as many of you prolly read they were wiped out by cataclysmic flooding. The ‘H” design is indeed quite original, and nothing like the Corbel vault style of structure implented by Pakal of Palenque. Geting back to the dating of the site. Using Mayan cultures they originally thought more advanced glyphs, artwork, and buildings didnt become prevalent until around 1500 B.C. considered late pre-classic (the site of Kaminaljuyu(lowlands guatemala and site of what is referred to as xibalba, basically the start of mayan creation and the underworld) which is described by Michael Coe(mayan expert) as being more grand than any other existing site, but barely anything remains today) Now, however, there were murals and structures and even older glyphs that date the ‘advanced maya to POSSIbly 5000 B.C., making even a slightly older Puma Punku site more of a possibility, and definitely not the work of space aliens which are relegated to work on the PPT. Regardless, the site is still an amazing creation with mysteries we will never learn absent any records or writings of the culture. I do think there was one stelae found, but dont know what figures are on it or if they are legible.

          “The only way to date a volcanic ash layer using radiocarbon dating is to find ash within a lake sediment or peat layer and then date the organic carbon from above and below it, and therefore fix an age for the ash event.” I stand co1rrected if i misquoted the page i was reading on the dating process, but you are right. I think someone below gives approximates for the site at around the same time. The point being the difference between what history channel claims as 17,000 B.C. and the more probable 1500 B.C. range. I also would like to know if they found remnants of obsidian in the stones themselves. But there are many ways to polish that stone and its ‘tough as diamonds’ nature lends itself well to that type of smooth finish. Aside; ive been to some obsidian deposit areas in mexico…pretty amazing how ancients were able to get precise cuts using a series of jigs and templates. The Puma Punku site also shows evidence of template use in those large stones. Thanks for pointing that out Cascadian btw!

            Obsidian is not ash, it’s a glass like rock, from lava flows. The indians used it for cutting tools and projectile points. The puma-whatever place in Bolivia was active from about 500AD to maybe1000 BC, there was a lot of people living there– estimates of 400,000.

    “”Determining the age of the Pumapunku complex has been a focus of researchers since the discovery of the Tiwanaku site. According to Andean specialist, Binghamton University Anthropology professor W. H. Isbell,[1] a radiocarbon date obtained by Vranich[2] from mound fill forming the Pumapunku deposited during the oldest of three construction epochs dates the earliest construction epoch of the Pumapunku at 1510 ±25 B.P. (A.D. 440; calibrated, A.D. 536–600). The excavation trenches of Vranich show that the clay, sand, and gravel fill of the Pumapunku complex lies directly on the sterile middle Pleistocene sediments. These excavation trenches also demonstrated the lack of any pre-Andean Middle Horizon cultural deposits within the area of the Tiwanaku Site adjacent to the Pumapunku complex.[2]””

          you are either british or out of your fucking mind to suggest that a bunch of stones placed in circular formation and with a ‘lego-like’ simplicity of T slabs is more impressive than their superior counterparts in Latin America. The Mayans already had glyphs and colorful anatomically correct art (which only they and the greeks had); as well as, pyramids built with layered pyramids inside. I’ve been to Stonehenge, and it is the least impressive thing I have ever seen. Luckily for those shit ass Britons that the Romans would eventually give them the foundations of the city of London and culture otherwise they would still be drinking their own saliva.

      QUOTE
      “Diorite is an extremely hard rock, making it difficult to carve and work with. It is so hard that ancient civilizations (such as Ancient Egypt) used diorite balls to work granite. Its hardness, however, also allows it to be worked finely and take a high polish, and to provide a durable finished work. Thus, major works in diorite tend to be important.

      One comparatively frequent use of diorite was for inscription, as it is EASIER to carve in relief than in three-dimensional statuary. Perhaps the most famous diorite work extant is the Code of Hammurabi, inscribed upon a 2 metre (7 ft) pillar of black diorite.

      Diorite was used by both the Inca and Mayan civilizations, but mostly for fortress walls, weaponry, etc. It was especially popular with medieval Islamic builders. . Although diorite is rough-textured in nature, its ability to take a polish can be seen in the diorite steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral, London, where centuries of foot traffic have polished the steps to a sheen.

      General methods of cutting the stones are relatively easy to conjecture though would need more information to be specific.

      1. Using small bits of diorite, quartz or other similar stone and placing them as teeth in a saw or drill. This was done by a number of ancient people.
      2. Using diorite, quartz or other similar stone powder, spreading it on the surface of the stone then using a weaker material to saw… using the powder to grind into the rock. This was certainly used by a number of South American tribes.”

      again, you have large forces dedicated to tribute via captures ad lacking the european notion of time and steadfast in the notion that the gods needed payback…to not satisfy their constant debt to the gods would upset the 52 year cycles that was a constant throughout mesoamerica…if we are indeed up to 400ad now, then this is even less incredulous.

    Wow, this is a vbizarre place indeed, even in other ways than architectural magnificence. Look at this paragraph from wiki on it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumapunku

    Cultural and spiritual significance
    It is theorized the Pumapunku complex as well as its surrounding temples, the Akapana pyramid, Kalasasaya, Putuni and Kerikala functioned as spiritual and ritual centers for the Tiwanaku. This area might have been viewed as the center of the Andean world, attracting pilgrims from miles away to marvel in its beauty. These structures transformed the local landscape; Pumapunku was purposely integrated with Illimani mountain, a sacred peak that the Tiwanaku possibly believed to be home to the spirits of their dead. This area was believed to have existed between heaven and Earth. The spiritual significance and the sense of wonder would have been amplified into a “mind-altering and life-changing experience”[12] through the use of hallucinogenic plants. Examinations of hair samples exhibit remnants of psychoactive substances in many mummies found in Tiwanaku culture mummies from Northern Chile, even those of babies as young as 1 year of age, demonstrating the importance of these substances to the Tiwanaku.[13]

    As was characteristic of civilizations around this time, the Tiwanaku actively incorporated human sacrifice into their culture. The remains of dismembered bodies have been found throughout the area. Ceramic artifacts depict imagery of warriors, masked with puma skulls, decapitating their enemies and holding trophy skulls, adorned with belts of human heads with their tongues torn out.[12]

    Bunch of fucking morons …travel from distant stars is problematic. Obviously, it was technology from the planet Aster that was used to make that stuff.

    It is widely known that ape-jumping visitors from Aster provided, what we term, “the missing link”; they simply used some of their left-over technology to cut and place those stones.

    All this happened because the Asterians knew that their planet was going to be smashed into what we now call the asteroid belt. They had to leave.
