God’s Gate and the Sun Temple: A Mysterious Incan Portal Leading to Other Worlds
Peru has a rich and mysterious history. With extant indigenous groups such as the Uros, Quechua, Aymara, and the Jivaro, which are known for their head-shrinking techniques, and historical populations like the Wari and the Chancay, known for their amazing mask-making skills, Peru is an anthropologist’s dream. Some of the ancient Peruvians were wiped out when the Inca invaded, and others moved out into Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake, never to return. The Inca built (or at least added to pre-existing) large, enig

Pushkar, India – Ticking The Boxes For The Location Of The Garden Of Eden
The Garden of Eden occupies a central position in the Biblical narrative but no place resembling it is found in West Asia, perhaps because the Garden could have been located at Pushkar in the state of Rajasthan in Western India. The defining feature of the Biblical Garden of Eden is four rivers emerging from a Holy Mountain (Genesis 2:10, Ezekiel 28:14).

Finding the Grave of Nicolaus Copernicus - Heretic Turned National Hero
Today, Nicolaus Copernicus is hailed by many historians as the originator of heliocentrism, one of the first steps towards modern cosmology and away from the Aristotelian cosmology which had previously dominated Western thought. Copernicus is widely revered today, but his more radical ideas were not well received when his seminal work was first published. This is reflected in the fact that the location where he was buried was lost to history for centuries.

Archaeologist Unravels Mysteries of Ancient Pre-Hispanic Culture
Deep in the jungles of Central America and northern South America belonged an ancient unnamed civilization that flourished from approximately 700 AD until the Spanish arrived in the early 1500s. Unlike the Mayans to the North and the Incas to the South, this civilization left little behind – no pyramids, megalithic structures, stone cities or monuments – their dwellings and possessions were typically made of biodegradable material. As a result, much mystery has surrounded this ancient pre-hispanic culture.
