Earth Ancients

Cliff Dunning

Earth Ancients chronicles the growing (and often suppressed) evidence of known and unknown civilizations, their ruined cities, and artifacts developed from advanced science and technology. Erased from the pages of time, these cultures discovered and charted the heavens, developed earth-centric sciences and unleashed advancements that parallel and, in many cases, surpass our own. Join us and discover our lost history.

  • 818 - David Dellenback & Martha Gil: The Lost People of San Agustin

    The mysterious ‘Sculptor People’Surprisingly little is known about the people who created these burial mounds, who are alternatively called the Cultura del Alto Magdalena (Upper Magdalena Culture) or the Pueblo Escultor (Sculptor People). “The big mystery is why these sculptors disappeared [in the ninth century],” explains archaeologist Hernán Ordoñez, who grew up in San Agustín. “Did something happen to the climate? Were there volcanic eruptions? Was it contact—or conflict—with other pre-Hispanic cultures? So far, it’s not clear.”What we do know is that the megalithic sculptures were artistic manifestations “made with the intention of almost ideological dominance,” says Ordoñez. They were meant to transcend life—perhaps acting as protectors of the living—and include iconographic features making them resemble reptiles, felines, monkeys, and other creatures native to the area. Most of the figures were carved in sitting positions and included embedded messages offering clues about ancient shamanic practices.

    The first scientific excavations took place here in the 1910s, though 17th-century tomb raiders had already plundered many sites for golden funerary artifacts. The archaeological parks date to 1931; they were named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. Though large-scale scientific excavations mostly took place between the 1960s and 1990s, newer studies, conducted by the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History between 2016 to 2022 using remote sensor technologies, are expected to shed new light on the culture over the coming years.

    Roughly 600 statues lie near the town of San Agustín on the eastern slopes of the Colombian Massif. The Magdalena River, Colombia’s chief waterway, has its headwaters here. The river flows east through a sharp-hewn canyon, dividing the three associated archaeological parks where the statues seem to watch over elaborate tombs with portal-like dolmens and carved stone sarcophagi.The San Agustín Archaeological Park, on the western edge of its namesake town, is the largest of the trio, home to a small museum and a winding forest trail that doubles as an open-air exhibit of statues found elsewhere. The park also contains exposed burial mounds poking above manicured lawns and a sprawling monument carved into the stone bed of a trickling stream.

    Davíd Dellenback was born in Oregon; he has lived in San Agustín since the 1970’s, an investigator and intepreter of the ancient Pueblo Escultor of the Macizo Colombiano. He has put together a comprehensive registry of their lithic statuary, with drawings of the stonework accompanied by descriptions, measurements, bibliography, notes on the history and movements of the monoliths, etc. He has also traveled widely in America in search of sites of ancient stone sculpture and stone-carving. As well, he has been involved in the movement to repatriate stone-sculptures stolen from the territory by huaqueros and academics. He is a member of the Veeduría de la Repatriación and of the San Agustín Academy of History.

    Martha Gil was born in Bogotá, Colombia; she has lived in San Agustín for more than two decades. She is an “ex-lawyer”, a writer, educator and archaeological tourism guide. She is the translator and distributor of the works published by the couple, and is a partner in the investigations of the ancient Pueblo Escultor. In her Macizo Colombiano territory, she is a leader in efforts to repatriate cultural patrimony, and of the related community education and...

  • 817 - Destiny: Miguel Conner, The Occult Elvis

    An esoteric and magical portrait of Elvis Presley

    “A lively new book.” —The Guardian

    • Draws on firsthand accounts from Elvis’s wife, Priscilla, his friends and family, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors

    • Looks at key teachers who influenced him, including Yogananda, H. P. Blavatsky, and Manly P. Hall

    • Examines Elvis’s efforts as a natural healer, the significance of his UFO encounters, and his telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveling abilities

    Elvis Presley, the most successful solo artist in history and an emblematic cultural figure of the Western world, has been widely perceived as a conservative Southern Christian. However, the truth about the man has been missed.

    Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley’s life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors. He shows how Elvis studied seminal 19th- and 20th-century occultists, including H. P. Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, G. I. Gurdjieff, and P. D. Ouspensky, and was a devotee of Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters.

    Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis’s life, the author explores the "Elvis visitations" that have occurred since the King’s death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced.

    Miguel Conner is a writer, voiceover artist, and host of the popular podcast Aeon Byte Gnostic Radio. His books include Voices of Gnosticism, Stargazer, Heretic, and The Executioner’s Daughter. He lives in northern Illinois.

  • 816 - Drs. J.J. & Desiree Hurtak: The Khafre Pyramid Scan Project, Part 2

    Although pyramids are similar in design, many may have had different or dual functions. The authors propose that ancient Egypt developed and controlled an elaborate power system that was centered around Giza and as far south as Abydos. They believe that the underground structures, channels, and cavities that surround ancient Pyramid structures were part of an immense industrial complex, including gigantic earth batteries. The authors believe evidence indicates that the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau had the ability to electrically charge, or change the molecular structure of water, giving it unique properties. We believe the ancient Egyptians created a fourth form of electrically-charged water, giving it unique properties. James Ernest Brown calls this "Earthmilk Ancient Energy." All pyramids were connected to the Nile River, and there is physical evidence that water from the Nile River circulated through their passageways and chambers by way of man-made channels both above and under the ground.

    DR. J. J. HURTAK, Ph.D., Ph.D. and Dr. DESIREE HURTAK, Ph.D., MS. Sc. are founders of The Academy For Future Science, an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that works to bring cooperation between science and spirituality through the positive use of consciousness. Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. Desiree Hurtak are social scientists, archeologists and Futurists. Dr. J.J. Hurtak has a Ph.D. from the University of California and a second Ph.D., from the University of Minnesota. Together, the Hurtaks have written several books, including Overself Awakening and their most recent co-authored with physicist Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, entitled Mind Dynamics in Space and Time. They are also well-known for their inspirational music, including their CD Sacred Name Sacred Codes with collaborative music by Steven Halpern, the renowned German singer and composer, Jocelyn Smith, recently honored by the German government, and for their graphic films, such as Merkabah and The Light Body for which they have won over 15 national and international awards. Their latest graphic film is called Gates of Light. Drs. Hurtaks together have traveled throughout the world to investigate ancient cultures and to work closely with indigenous people, including the Zulu Shaman Credo Mutwa, about whom they recently produced an award winning documentary called Voice of Africa. They have also worked with the Xavante Indians (Brazil) and indigenous leaders in the Andes. They are respected archeologists having worked both in Mexico and Egypt and were part of the team that first uncovered the mysterious Tomb of Osiris (1997) beneath the Giza Plateau. They also worked within the pyramids of Mexico and Egypt doing acoustic testing where they showed extensive sound tones built into the architectural design of the various temples and tombs. They have also spoken at various universities throughout the world on the power of music showing how it is a transformational tool for health and increasing the cognitive powers of the mind. They are both also Evolutionary Leaders along with such notables as Barbara Marx Hubbard, Bruce Lipton, Neal Donald Walsh, Deepak Chopra and many more.

  • 814 - Michael Jaye: Earth Great Flood

    Two hundred years ago, geologists determined that there was never a worldwide flood.But the early geologists' conclusion--which continues to be believed today--is indisputably erroneous, according to Michael Jaye, Ph.D.Told in easily understood language, Jaye explains how geologists got it so wrong, and more importantly, he challenges their modern-day peers to examine foundational beliefs, especially in the presence of new map data. Along the way, he identifies and rectifies geology's historic error and its consequences, answering questions such as:Why do geologists believe that there was never a worldwide flood? How is this belief erroneous?How did submerged structures like Monterey Canyon form? What process do geologists ascribe to their formation?In what way are Google Earth and Google Maps similar to Galileo's telescope?With new map data revealing submerged rivers in more than two miles of water, it's clear that such a volume could only have a cosmic source.Jaye identifies the impact remnants, and he explains how its effects irreversibly changed Earth's ecosystem. Humans are among surviving species, but we find ourselves ill-adapted to the post-flood ecosystem.Discover a historical, scientific, and philosophical treatment of The Worldwide Flood--it will forever change the way you consider Earth and human history.

    Michael Jaye, Ph.D., recently retired as an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He previously spent fifteen years teaching mathematics and its applications at West Point, New York. His interest in the worldwide flood began with Google Maps images of the Monterey Canyon system.
