Given the great success of Munster's work,

The search on the enigma of Giza has known decisive carrying out with the fundamental intuition of Robert Bauval, according to which the three Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure represent the three stars of the Belt of Orion, just as the Nile represents the Milky Way. I will have necessarily to give for discounted the acquaintance of the details of the theory of Bauval (then developed with Graham Hancock); I limit myself to point out the salient aspects of the stellar correlation supported

Native Americans tell of 13 crystal skulls , life-sized, with jointed jaws, capable of speaking and singing, which would contain important revelations about the origin, purpose and destiny of humanity, and the answer to some of the greatest mysteries of life and the universe. According to ancient tradition, a day will come when the 13 crystal skulls will be found and reunited so that their wisdom will be made known to everyone. When Chris Morton and Ceri Louise Thomas hear this legend in the de

3200-2800 BC . Protohistoric period. Sumerians are found in southern Mesopotamia ("land between the rivers"). Stratigraphic surveys in Iraq see them as the first culture ever, and there are no significant layers (except Neolithic ones) underlying the layers relating to their cities, so for archaeology their origin is obscure. Perhaps they are related to the founders of the Indus culture. The fertility of the soil allows cattle breeding and date palm cultivation. Knowledge of metals, already kno

Tarquinius Priscu's successor was Servius Tullius , who reigned between 578 and 534 BC. His name is associated with two facts: the Servian constitution and the temple of Diana on the Aventine. However, it does not seem that the so-called Servian walls can be attributed to him, at least in the state in which they are preserved. The distinctive character of his reign was the attempt to merge natives and Etruscans. Servius was the son of Ocrisia , a native of the Latin city of Cornicolo, proba

Marcus Tullius Cicero was born in Arpino (Italy) in 106 B.C. He leaves its mark on the entire 1 st century. B.C. Belonging to an aristocratic city family, he grow up in a city far from the center of power. At that time small villages far away from Rome preserved old traditions, the ancient spirit and the MORES now lost in the capital. He later moves to Rome and studied with Greek masters (his brother Quinto was destined for a political career), initially aimed at the study and practice of the a

If the origins of Rome are uncertain, because its early history is shrouded in mystery, the origins of its artistic and literary activity are no less uncertain. What is certain, however, is that the Romans, shepherds and farmers first and warriors later, forced to struggle continually for existence, could not initially devote themselves to art. Later, when they began to use the extra time between internal and external travail, had to confronted with already developed art forms in foreign contri

The discovery of the Ara Pacis takes place over a span of nearly four centuries. In 1568 , nine large marble blocks carved on both sides were found under the Peretti Palace in Rome. Assuming their belonging to a Domitian arch, the blocks were purchased on behalf of the Grand Duke of Tuscany and for the most part transferred to Florence, after being sawn in the sense of thickness to facilitate transportation and display. Not all of the fragments followed such linear and documented routes, howeve

The city of Tivoli is located on the slopes of the Tiburtini Mountains along the Aniene near the great waterfall that the river forms at the foot of the ancient acropolis. The richness of its waters, the happy strategic position on the trade route to Abruzzo, the fertility of its territory and the favorable climatic conditions contributed in the protohistoric age to create the conditions for stable spontaneous settlements that determined the prerequisites for the foundation of the city.

The Dogon population in Africa provides a clear representation of what would have happened in the past millennia on earth, precisely when " the Gods reigned on earth ". It seems that the Dogon Gods, understood as deified visitors from other planets, saw them and learned amazing things from them. The Dogon live in a concept far from modernity and development. They are settled in the area of ​​the other Niger, precisely in the Bandjagara plateau and are thought to be the successors of very ancien

In the 15 th century the pre-eminent art was that of a sacred nature, therefore an artist had no way of representing direct events to future humanity, such as manifestations of strange phenomena. An excellent expedient, however, is to insert a similar representation into a sacred art subject. This was precisely what happened during the making of " The Madonna and the Infant Saint John " attributed to the school of Filippo Lippi , a 15 th century Florentine painter. Daniele Bedini , a young Ital

Nazca Southern Peru - Flying over the area you can see strange figures traced on the ground (see Nazca linees). Some represent animals, others geometric shapes that recall the idea of ​​landing strips. Paracas, 260 Km from Lima (capital of Peru) - Coming from the sea or flying over the area you notice El Candelabro , an immense geoglyph 183 meters high, which digs into the rock for approximately 50-60 cm. According to some, it would indicate to those flying over the area the direction to follow

The ancient cults of the wisest peoples and stargazers have always directed us to think that man not only had numerous contacts with aliens, but that he even had them as rulers; ancient men certainly did not recognize that, even if they came from other worlds, they were still mortal and conducted their religion with the deification of these aliens, who we should perhaps call "Angels". Regarding the mysterious origins of our civilization, an interesting hypothesize can be traced back to humanoid

The natives of the Chihuahua region in Mexico tell of an ancient legend, dating back more than 200 years, whose protagonist is a certain "Starchild". In summary, their myth speaks of persons descended from the sky that impregnated the human women in the remote villages. The women fertilized by these alien beings were allowed to raise their own children, also called "starchildren" until the star beings returned from the sky to pick up and take their stellar offspring with them into space. Ultima

Can a possible UFO sighting millennia ago be seriously considered, or should it be left only to the tabloid press? The organization founded by Gene Philips , the " Ancient Astronaut Society ", has the aim of providing reliable evidence of alien sightings in ancient times. A theme that can best represent all the contacts of alien intelligences in the past is that of cargo cults. These cults arise when a culture comes into contact with another culture more technologically advanced. An excellent e

1877: We are in Spain, precisely in "Banjos", a small peasant village in the Cantabria area. In that period it was the time of the wheat harvest and two children, coming out of a very deep cave, would never have been noticed had it not been for the fact that, in addition to speaking an incomprehensible language, in addition to wearing clothes made of a very strange substance (later examined), they had green skin. Although the story seems like one of the usual fairy tales told in small towns, th

Location and Geographical Info At 27° south latitude, with a surface area of ​​approximately 163 square metres, 60 km of coastline stands the legendary and mysterious Easter Island . It is about 3800 km from Chile, a state of which it belongs. It is also located almost 4263 km from Tahiti, while the closest inhabited center is the island of Pictarin, which is located approximately 2250 km to the west. Its origin is clearly volcanic, as evidenced by the steep and dark cliffs that characterize th

In the scientific field, the first known civilization appeared on a continent called Lemuria . The existence of this continent was hypothesized for the first time by Philip Lutley Sclater who argued, between 1850 and 1860, that in prehistory there existed a vast territory that extended from Madagascar to Ceylon up to Sumatra. The idea was hypothesized due to the zoological affinities that the territories mentioned above have in common but also due to the presence of the lemur, a small animal, w
