The ancients know about precession, both the Minoans and the Sumerians used gryphons when referring to the cone that the earth wobbles around, the ancient seemed to know that the pole star was changing, they built stone circles and buildings to record it’s current position for future generations. It was a bit like building deep thought to answer the ultimate question, but in antiquity, what is the centre of the life, the universe and everything. Both cultures had great maths, fractional trigonometry and Fibonacci sequences/Pi, respectively. They could work out angles very well. There may be a clue to the architects, the Minoans would build anything for metal, the Egyptians were not short of gold. The clue might be the water technology. For example, the Minoans had hot and cold water running into dwellings, sewers and aqueducts. They built a palace for Baal, it was recorded as having, steam rooms, doors that opened by fire (steam) and advance irrigation for gardens. They could build anything, and I suspect were trying to strengthen ties with those in power around the region to support trade, it is known they installed their own people towards the end of the period, but perhaps they were trying to do so for millennia. They were know to the Egyptians as Keftui or Captor, the Egyptians just knew they came once a year with everything they needed in exchange for the things the Minoans needed (papyrus for records, ivory and gold). I’m not suggesting the Egyptians were not building pyramids before, but if you wanted the best civil engineers on the planet then they had them. There are loads of things in Egyptian tombs from Minoan origin. I don’t think many appreciate exactly how much influence they had, tin from Iberia in the west, copper from Cyprus and the Levant (Asia) to the East, Agricultural bulks from the North and specialist papyrus, flax, ivory and gold to the south. They connected the three continents and all the worlds knowledge and commodities flowed through their ports. It wasn’t just the most valuable personal possessions in the world they crafted, it was everything, from weapons to supply of experts (for metal), such as engineers, priestesses for study of the stars or Palace accounting (or Quantity surveying)! These people were precise, they loved craftmanship, they were not only good with stone but every material (you need these for the tooling and rigs), they knew mathematics, they studied the stars, were organised, and could build all the other things you need to pull this off: the machines and jigs, cranes to process huge quantities of material in a lifetime! It’s the use of water, canals for moving blocks and making precise cuts, that has all the hallmarks of Minoan architects and engineering. By example, the Egyptians didn’t even have sea worthy ships, the Minoans had Minos composite hulls by comparison (that’s right: white, shiny, low drag composite hulls of linen, pine resin and limestone additive, they may have had copper bottoms to, that would be four millennia before the Royal Navy, the Egyptians were tinkering around in reed boats). That stone jig and water level for ensuring the same precision across the course of blocks is genius! The Pharos name is interesting in this context. My take is the engineers and architects for this project were Minoan, to be knocked down by good argument.
The real question is how many tetraploid humans were involved in the building of the pyramids. Until archaelogists recognize that is was the tetraploid humans that started civilization (The Mes) and built many pyramids around the globe, including the Antarctic (formerly Atlantis), then we will never know the truth.
Secrets of the Pink Kush proves the existence of tetraploid humans and their accomplishments.
Hello. When using someone else's research as a major source for an article, one should fully credit it. This article is drawn from my book, The Man Who Owned a Wonder of the World: The Gringo History of Mexico's Chichen Itza (Bohlin Carr Inc., 2015), which was excerpted, under my name (not "Yucatan Living Contributor" as noted in the references), by YucatanLiving.com .

Interesting article... But I wonder how the ark got up there that high. Noah must have had a big truck or helicopter or maybe he called in the aliens (...) to lift the ark to its final resting place. Because for water or a flood its impossible. There is not enough water on the planet to get an ark up that high!
Look at global warming maps. When the temperature on earth rises a substantial number of degrees the water goes up, a couple of centimeters, maybe even a couple of meters, maybe even ten or twenty meters or even a hundred. But almost two kilometers....
That's just rediculous you fools!!!
Friga or Priya (Sanskrit) - this is Ancient Skytho-Ukrainian words: Friga - F(th)=Tse-This, Ri-goddess Ra- Sun, ga - Sacred Cow - Symbol of goddess Ra; Priya = Pryyemna - nice, or one that accepts = female, woman, mother.
Dear Valda Roric, I can explain the meaning of all these, and other Sacred Symbols, and the meaning of their own names. For example: Valknut.These are Ancient Skytho-Ukrainian words: Val(warrior) = Ox(warrior), kanut = to die slowly, = Oxes-warriors who died. In the original drawing, the vertices of the triangles are directed to the other direction - to the left, but not to the top, as usually. If directed to the left - it means death.
Some people in Ancient Egypt believed in the Left Eye - Wedjat, which was identified with the Goddes of Moon; other people believed in the Right Eye - Udjat, which was identified with the God of Sun.
Dear Ashley, it's not Botanical Mystery, because it's not flower, and it's not mushrooms. This is one Ancient Sacred Symbol, which consists of six Main Sacred Symbols. These Symbols denote Mail and Female Energies. Where Female Energy is the Main thing.
Viking artifacts have claimed to have been found around the Great Lakes and indeed there is no reason to believe they wouldn't have sailed down the St. Lawrence to the Lakes as that would have been an obvious path to future settlement.
Passage tombs were created to capture light
If a specific light could be captured within a vessel that vessel would take on the properties of that light
Take a Box - inside it is completely void of light
Line the inside with mirrors
Now pierce a laser through a 'trap door' and reflect it off the mirors.
Close the door - does the light stay within and bounce around - or does it stop
It was long ago, agreed among most scholars, the the word "grape" was used to refer to any & all berries, that were "grapelike" blueberries, currants, etc. So the point of line of growth of "vine grapes" is irrelevant.
And they are correct. What my colleague told you in a previous article is also correct – it is believed that they dated a piece of repair (cotton) instead of an actual piece of the Shroud (Linen). – Los Alamos Labs!
Your quite correct – though since Alan Rogers discovery that the carbon dating was incorrect the mystery continues! And will continue until the Vatican allows full scientific investigation. It is what prompted my new book “The Maltese Shroud” (Amazon.com)
Hi Emorie, Thanks for your comment. It’s a tricky one to get right but I think the author is correct in describing the situation of Shikhandi as ‘transgendered’.
Although things get even more complicated when reincarnation into different genders is involved, it seems to me that this situation talks of a woman who has has the gender change forced upon her, rather than she did not affiliate with her birth sex. The article states that Shikhandi was ‘born a female and raised as a man’. This wasn’t her choice. It was something that happened to her.
And this, from what I have recently learned, is the crucial difference, and why some transgender object to the term transgendered. It is not something that has happened to them, it is something they were born with. This is not the case described here.
As such, I believe that the use of transgendered here is the correct description, and will not cause offence. She was transgendered by those around her. She was not transgender.
If the term transgender was used here, people would expect an article involving transgender, and, like the previous commenter, would be disappointed.

Good article, and thanks for the viseos. The north star at this time was Thuban, the ‘snake’ in Draco. True North would not point to any particular star exactly, but at this time it is very well aligned! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession#/media/File:Precession_N.gif

Did you ever ask the wisdom keepers why the pyramids were originally built?

Great work Dave, another good read. I’m always surprised when I reach the end of an article on AO only to see your name as the author. Thanks mate

According to wikipedia the carbon dating in three different tests all showed the same date and that the rag is not so old.
Your quite correct – though since Alan Rogers discovery that the carbon dating was incorrect the mystery continues! And will continue until the Vatican allows full scientific investigation. It is what prompted my new book “The Maltese Shroud” (Amazon.com)
Don't forget the Mark Twain story, 1601, which is about a fart.
How can Turkey with its recent history only be called ancient?
