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'.

Young Phrixus flees on the back of the mythical ram with the golden fleece.
Greek mythology has handed down the exploits of a group of sailors who set out for a distant land in search of an object of inestimable value. These sailors were called Argonauts, named after their ship, Argo. The land they were heading to was Colchis, and the object of their quest was the fleece of a ram, a very special fleece because it was golden. But what really lies beneath the veil (or rather, the fleece) of the myth? Numerous interpretations have been proposed: here we will briefly review some of them, and then focus on the one I find most coherent. We will show, in particular, how comparative mythology, though often overlooked, co...

Discovered an Ancient Megalithic Relief and Stele in Akmola Region
On July 16, 2024, researchers from the A.Kh. Margulan Institute of Archaeology, S.A. Yarygin and S.K. Sakenov, who were conducting archaeological excavations in the Zerenda District of the Akmola Region, were informed by the director of the local history museum in Balkashino, Mendibai Kopobayev, about a unique find: an image resembling a human face on a granite boulder in the Kabany Klyuch dam area. During a field visit involving Askerbek Zh. Tulebaev, the team was able to document a relief image and a stone stele that was found nearby in a fallen state. The face is well-crafted, with all details clearly visible—large eyes, a long straigh...

The Mysterious Crystal Skulls
Early 1900s. During the exploration of South America, a famous English archaeologist and explorer, F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, known as "Mike," who was passionate about pre-Columbian civilizations and searching for traces of Atlantis, met a French orphan girl named Ann le Guillon, whom he adopted and took with him. Upon arriving in Honduras in 1923, the explorer encountered the ancient ruins of a Mayan city called Lubaantun. Four years later, in 1927, the now twenty-year-old girl was celebrating her birthday. During a walk in the area where the excavations were taking place, she was attracted by a peculiar glimmer emerging from the ground in fr...

In the Central America a mysterious civilization carved incredible and perfect granite spheres and positioned them according to a precise astronomical arrangement: but when? Why? How? Too many questions hover around the "Bolas"

Costa Rica is a lush, tropical land: the spheres were found in the middle of the jungle, in an area
Costa Rica: a country located in Central America, covering just 50,000 square kilometers, yet even this small strip of land contains mysteries comparable to those of other, more renowned pre-Columbian origins. This country is known for its enigmatic stone or granite spheres scattered throughout, especially in the capital, San José, which today have become monuments decorating squares and gardens. Unfortunately, the locals do not appreciate the historical and archaeological importance of these timeless monuments, while tourists from all over the world come to this country not only to dive into the splendid Caribbean sea but also specifical...

The term OOPARTS refers to objects that don't fit into the official chronology established by human history. These are objects that, for various reasons, shouldn't exist: either because there was no technology to create them at the time, or because their temporal placement deviates by millions of years from the commonly accepted theories about the course of human events. Finding a metal vase in a coal mine dating back to the Permian period, an era before the dinosaurs, seems "impossible" to scientists, who then have to draw the necessary conclusions. The most frequent outcome is that the OOPART (Out Of Place ARTifact) ends up in a...

First Etruscan dwelling discovered in Corsica
A single residential building, the first discovered in Corsica outside of public structures, has been unearthed, excavated, and analyzed by archaeologists from Inrap, the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research, as part of a project for the construction of a single-family home in the municipality of Ghisonaccia in Upper Corsica. The building is located in the eastern plain of the island, near the coast facing Italy, where this Etruscan settlement, built and used between the 6 th and 4 th centuries BC, has now been identified. But what exactly is it? "This discovery represents privileged evidence of the presence of...

Partial remains of an extinct elephant
This news is not about ancient civilizations, but still interesting as it shows how hard it was for our ancestors to survive in ancient time. In a study published in the Journal of Iberian Geology, a team of researchers from Spanish institutions examined an archaeological site called Fuente Nueva 3 (FN3), located in the province of Granada in southern Spain. This area preserves some of the earliest evidence of human presence in Western Europe, in the form of carved stones dating back to about 1.4 million years ago. The area has also preserved manuports, which are unmodified stones that were used as percussion tools to break bones and acce...

Discovered human representations of ancient and mythical Tartessos
This is a news that last year I somehow missed, so here it is. In April 2023 archaeologists from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIS) conducting excavations at the Casas del Turunuelo site have discovered the first human representations of the ancient Tartessian people. The Tartessians , who are believed to have lived in the southern Iberian Peninsula (modern-day Andalusia and Extremadura), are considered one of the oldest civilizations in Western Europe and perhaps the first to prosper on the Iberian Peninsula. In the southwestern Iberian Peninsula of Spain, the Tartessian culture first appeared in the Late Bronze Age. The cultur...
