Welcome to the journal specialized in studying the history of ancient civilizations!

The history written in the books has been patiently reconstructed by scholars who have conducted research on primary historical sources and archaeological finds. Our knowledge has increased day by day and continues to grow, but the mists that shroud our distant past are far from dissipating.

The notion that human civilization slowly and gradually emerged from nothing is hard to believe! Myths and legends from around the world narrate an extraordinary past with gods, heroes, giants, astonishing marvels, immense cataclysms. Civilizations have flourished and fallen multiple times.

Several ancient civilizations, in their myths, mention a primordial and idyllic period in which "Heaven and Earth were united" and the Moon did not yet shine in the sky. Was the arrival in orbit of our current satellite that ruined the harmony, generating catastrophes like the universal flood and cycles that characterize the current world, from the seasons to the precession of the equinoxes?

Understanding these ancient tales is an important step towards discovering where we come from.

Here I want to collect the information available about these ancient myths, with emphasis on "strange finds", misplaced artifacts (OOPArt), and generally everything that traditional history overlooks and try to discover together with you what happened a long time ago, when the Earth was ruled by the immortal "Gods" and not by men!

The journal is open, so everyone is free to write an article on this topic and contribute to the 'search of the true knowledge'.

The origin of the Olmecs
Ancient nomadic populations from the Neolithic found fertile places with a temperate climate in some areas of central Mexico and along the coast of the Caribbean Sea. Around 3000 BC, these groups of hunters and gatherers slowly transformed into farmers and their societies became sedentary, where the importance of the division of labor and elites grew more and more. Therefore, in the central area of ​​Mexico and on the southern coast of the Caribbean Sea, embryos of towns began to form, each of which was governed by lords who belonged to the upper classes, who had access to innovations and Above all, they were the intermediaries between th...

The mysteries of Teotihuacán
The archaeological zone of Teotihuacán, located approximately 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, was the scene, in 1520, of a bloody battle (Otumba). In that place, very different from how it is now, Hernán Cortés' army defeated thousands of Aztec soldiers, under the command of the new emperor Cuitlàhuac. In that place there were some mounds that looked like hills. In reality, they were the majestic pyramids of Teotihuacán, built more than a thousand years ago by a mysterious people, hidden underground, sediments and bushes that were formed in more than ten centuries of abandonment. The Pyramid of the Sun is grandiose: with a per...

The enigma of the Pusharo petroglyphs, the most important in the Amazon
My trip to the Pusharo petroglyphs took place in 2008. The main objective was to closely analyze one of the most important petroglyphs in the world, both for complexity and grandeur, and thus deepen the study of Amazonian ethnic groups that traveled through the area in times dating back to the Mesolithic, when the climate in the Amazon was different from today. The trip began in the small town of Atalaya, on the banks of the Alto Madre de Dios River, from where, in the company of my friend Fernando Rivera Huanca, I embarked on a motor boat bound for Lactapampa (department of Madre de Dios). The next day we went up the Palotoa and slept in...

The mysterious Jinkiori monolith, heritage of the Huachipaeri culture
To know the prehistory of the Amazon, it is necessary to archaeologically study any ancient traces of human remains or artifacts in the immense area of ​​the great river basin. The petroglyphs and cave paintings are key elements to understand the complex cosmogony and ritual symbolism of the people who lived in the area. Sometimes, as in the case of the petroglyphs of Quiaca (department of Puno), they are symbols used to indicate the path or route used to reach a different place in the jungle. Other times, they are surprising rock libraries, which indicate the spiritual conception, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic symbols, as in the case of...

The civilization of the Incas
When you reach Machu Picchu (from the Quechua old peak), you can see that the Inca civilization reached a high degree of development, unequal to that of the West, but parallel. Until recently, it was thought that Machu Picchu had been discovered by the American archaeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911. In 2008, however, news was made public that the Inca citadel was actually discovered, and unfortunately looted, by an German adventurer, Augusto Berns, in 1867. Some documents, whose authenticity was verified, testify that Berns established a company to exploit the archaeological site, with the consent of Andrés Avelino Caceres, the president of...

The magnificence of Tikal, ancient Mayans capital, and the cult of Kukulcán
Flying at low altitude over the tropical rainforest of the Yucatan Peninsula, it is not unusual to see in the distance some archaic pyramids rising above the dense layer of vegetation. The most majestic of the ancient cities of the Mayans is Tikal , located between the north of Yucatán and the Pacific, and between the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. One wonders how it was possible for the emergence and flourishing of such an extensive and complex city right in the heart of the tropical jungle, where rainfall is constant (3000 mm per year), in an area infested with poisonous snakes and mosquitoes carrying malaria. However, the Tikal ...

Symbolism of serpent in the Canaanites cult and in the Genesis of Hebrews
The most important historical source to know the history of the Jews is the Bible. According to current knowledge, the Bible is a set of texts, compiled from the 13 th century BC. The history of the Jews traditionally dates back to Abraham, who lived in Ur, in Mesopotamia, around the 19 th century BC. According to the Bible, Abraham received from God the order to go to Palestine. Abraham's successors were Isaac and Jacob, considered the father of the Hebrew people since, in effect, his twelve sons led the famous twelve tribes of Israel. Around the 18 th century BC, the Hebrews emigrated to Egypt after a severe famine. After several ce...

René Guénon's vision of the fantastic lost kingdom of Agarttha
According to some esoteric authors such as Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (Mission de l'Inde, 1910) and Ferdinand Ossendowski (Bêtes, Hommes et Dieux, 1921), there would be an underground kingdom, located specifically in the interior of Central Asia, inhabited by human beings that have not been well identified or perhaps by a lineage parallel to us humans, who would be the treasurer of the original knowledge of the world. This kingdom, called Agarttha (the inviolable one), would have the city of Shamballa as its capital and Brahmatma (or king of the world) as its king, assisted by two viceroys: Mahatma and Mahanga. The Agarttha tradition d...

The influence of Darwinism and theosophy in Western society: new age philosophy
On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin's book ' On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection ', or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life , was published in London. The theory presented in the book was based on the concept that different animal species evolve over time through the process of natural selection. From this theory, the philosophy known as social Darwinism was developed in subsequent years. On November 17, 1875, the Theosophical Society was founded in New York. The main founding partners were Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Herny Steel Olcott and William Quan Judge. Apparently, these two even...

The mystery of the Amazons, the warrior women
In 1542 a group of men led by the Spanish captain Francisco de Orellana were exploring a large river whose name they did not know. They had had incredible adventures that I have recounted in my book “1542 The First Navigators of the Amazon River ”. When they arrived in a mysterious place, after some confrontations with indigenous people, they realized that there were warrior women, who were later named Amazons, following some Greek myths. Here is the chapter of my book where I describe the contact of the Spanish with women warriors. These channels led away from the main arm. They were overflowing with logs, vines and floating vegetation, ...
