If you think the dark ages were limited to the distant past, you are
wrong. They still exist, but in a more subtle contemporary way of
thinking. Our church dominated society is still manipulating our belief
systems but mixing in just enough "science" and "philosophy" to make us
unaware of just how much influence religious belief systems have on our
thought patterns.

For 2,000 years the church and the people who serve it have gone to
great lengths to create a story of world history that fits a Biblical
mold. In more recent times, other belief systems like the evolutionists
influenced by the writings of Charles Darwin have emerged.

Except for theories based upon archaeological finds, and the few
surviving writings that remain in print, the fact remains that we have
little knowledge of the real history of the human race dating back to
the time before Christ. The loss of an estimated 400,000 books when the
great Library of Alexandria burned in about 270 A.D., and the
destruction of other important books and records like those of the
Mayans after the Spaniards invaded Mexico and South America in the 16th
Century, erased key historical records.

Sadly, the "official" historical, archaeological and geological
discoveries have been required to fit certain approved templates or the
"scientific" community does not give them serious consideration. Those
who question the many anomalies that keep appearing in the dust are
rarely taken seriously.
Thus school and college textbooks are filled with stories that mostly
support the theories that a God created the world no earlier than about
8000 years ago, the world was subjected to a great flood about 4,000
years ago, and the God-man Jesus visited here 2000 years ago. The battle
to teach the two theories concerning our origins, creationism vs.
evolutionism, continues to rage. Because the evolutionists have gained
much ground, however, there is a general belief that modern humans are
an improved and more developed species than his ancestors, who once
emerged from cave dwellings in what is referred to as "the Stone Age."

The non-conformists, however, continue to grow in number, especially in
recent years. That is because the world is filled with those peculiar
anomalies that do not fit the established belief systems. As our tools
for discovery get more and more sophisticated, keeping those archaic
stories intact is getting harder to do. For example, the recent
discoveries of at least two great cities at the bottom of the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans are a powerful indication that this planet and human
history on it is much older than the church-inspired history books would
have us believe.

Radio talk show personality Whitley Streiber revealed both of these
discoveries on his Internet website: www.whitleysworld.com.
Japanese divers recently uncovered the ruins of several large structures
in 70 feet of water near the island of Yonaguni. The lower levels of the
buildings, estimated to have been submerged for 10,000 years, still bear
carvings made by stonemason's tools, also unearthed on the sea floor
near the site. The number of ruins suggests that a relatively large and
developed culture existed that built them.

Then to top this discovery, undersea archaeologists revealed this spring
that they found what may be the largest ruin in the western hemisphere.
What is so amazing about this discovery is that it appears to be a city
lying at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in 2,200 feet of water, off
the coast of Cuba.
"It is stunning," said Canadian oceanographer Paulia Zelitsky of the
Advanced Digital Communications Group in British Columbia, who has been
reading video images of the area taken by underwater robots. "What we
see in our high-resolution sonar images are limitless, rolling, white
sand plains, and in the middle of this beautiful white sand, there are
clear man made large-size architectural designs. It looks like when you
fly over an urban development in a plane and you see highways, tunnels
and buildings. We do not believe that nature is capable of producing
planned symmetrical architecture unless it is a miracle."

So just what lies at such a depth, and if it is a city, how ancient can
it be? Edgar Casey{Cayce} once predicted that the lost continent of
Atlantis would be discovered in this area of the ocean. Could this be
it?
In an article published in Nexus Magazine, writer David Hatcher
Childress makes a serious charge that the Smithsonian Institute has been
hiding, destroying and covering up archaeological anomalies for more
than 100 years, probably because their revelation would require a
complete rewriting of school textbooks. What Childress fails to say is
that the information also would require the psychological implanting of
a revised "tunnel reality" for the brain-dead masses.
The cover-up has been so severe, Childress writes that there is some
evidence that many important archaeological discoveries may have even
been destroyed.

Not only has the Smithsonian, the most important archaeological
institute in the United States been involved in this coverup, Childress
charges that the Vatican also has been long accused of keeping artifacts
and ancient books in its vast cellars, without allowing the outside
world access to them.

"These secret treasures, often of a controversial historical or
religious nature, are allegedly suppressed by the Catholic Church
because they might damage the church's credibility, or perhaps cast
their official texts in doubt," Childress writes. "Sadly, there is
overwhelming evidence that something very similar is happening with the
Smithsonian Institution."

He said that since about 1880, the Smithsonian has suppressed "any
archaeological evidence that lent credence to the school of thought
known as Diffusionism, a school which believes that throughout history
there has been widespread dispersion of culture and civilization via
contact by ship and major trade routes. The Smithsonian opted for the
opposite school, known as Isolationism. Isolationism holds that most
civilizations are isolated from each other and that there has been very
little contact between them, especially those that are separated by
bodies of water."
Consequently, Childress charges that all archaeological evidence, such
as traded goods, that indicated that the mound builders of the Ohio
Valley, for example, had contact with such advanced cultures as the
Mayas, Ioltecs or Aztecs in Mexico and Central America, have been
"lost."

Among the lost artifacts are the bones of giant men, some of them eight
feet tall, uncovered in full armor with swords and even large treasures.

Childress said Ivan T. Sanderson, a well-known zoologist, once told
about a letter received about an engineer stationed on the Aleutian
Island of Shemya during World War II. While building an airstrip, the
workers found human remains in an ancient Alaskan mound. The bones were
of giants that had cranias measuring 22 to 24 inches from base to crown.
Adult skulls normally measure about eight inches from back to front. The
remains were turned over to the Smithsonian, where all trace of them
disappeared.

Other lost artifacts include thousands of carved stone figures, some in
jade and obsidian, discovered at Acambaro, Mexico in 1944. These figures
ranging from an inch to six feet in height, depicted dinosaurs in active
association with humans. Some showed the animals eating humans.
Radiocarbon dating at the University of Pennsylvania indicated that the
objects were made about 6,500 years ago.

Then there is the strange story that appeared in the Phoenix Gazette on
April 5, 1909. It was a lengthy front-page article about an
archaeological dig conducted by the Smithsonian at the Grand Canyon. The
story gives a detailed report of the discovery and excavation of a
rock-cut vault by a Professor S. A. Jordan of an Egyptian tomb. The
Smithsonian today claims to have no record of such a dig.

"While it cannot be discounted that the entire story is an elaborate
newspaper hoax, the fact that it was on the front page, named the
prestigious Smithsonian Institution, and gave a highly detailed story
that went on for several pages, lends a great deal to its credibility,"
Childress wrote. "It is hard to believe such a story could have come out
of thin air."
That things are constantly being found where they don't seem to belong
is a strong indication that the true history of this ancient planet is
more complex and involved than scholars would like us to believe. I
suspect we humans have been down some of these same roads numerous times
in the past. If we aren't careful, we may be condemned to walk them a
few more times until we get it right.

I do not think that this is Atlantis proper, but one of the numerous Islands spoken of by Plato! Remember that Atlantis had some huge mountains to the North that MUST be part of the Mid Ocean Ridge. Also Posidia has to have the large canals with a temple in the center of the consentric ringed canals. Joel in Phoenix!
