During the summer of 1968, two pilots found a structure that has since been called 'the temple site of Andros' because it was located to the north of Andros, the largest island in the Bahamas. It's a structure with dimensions of approximately 18 by 30 metres. It was reported to Dimitri Rebikoff, an underwater archaeologist, and Dr J. Manson Valentine, an archaeologist and anthropologist. They went to the site and found a structure with walls one metre thick, worked in limestone. They found that the floor plan approximates that of the 'Temple of Turtles' in Uxmal, Yucatan. The temple stands in two metres of water with half a metre standing above the ocean floor. Only a couple of kilometres away they found two other submerged structures, and since that date, a total of twelve structures have been discovered. On 2 September 1968, Dr Valentine and others found what appeared to be two walls protruding about a metre above the bottom of the ocean. The walls extend for 550 metres, almost parallel to the shoreline, off Paradise Point on North Bimini Island. In February, 1969, the Marine Archaeological Research Society found another wall ninety-two metres long, and about nine metres wide. Then between 12 July and 29 November of that year, divers with the same group found and photographed forty-four pillars which were from one to two metres in diameter, and from one to four metres long. Some of them were standing upright, and they were said to have been placed in a perfect circle. This area, which has been called 'The Bimini Road,' was investigated more fully by an expedition that set sail on 2 June, 1975. The group included divers, archaeologists, a marine biologist, geologists, a cartographer, and a couple of psychics. Twenty people altogether. Initial work confirmed Dr Valentine's earlier claim that the so-called 'road' is not a natural geological formation as some people had claimed, but a man-made formation that is generally known as megalithic. It is similar to other structures that we already know of such as the pre-Incan parts of Sacsahuaman in Peru, Tiahuanaco in Bolivia, Stonehenge in England, and Carnac in Brittany. Work so far on the 'Bimini Road' suggests that the site points to a sacred geometry with significant astronomical and terrestrial alignments similar to Stonehenge. John Michell has written most convincingly on this aspect. Two interesting artefacts have been found at this site so far. One is an ancient fragment of stone with a very sophisticated tongue-and-groove joint system. It is composed of a mixture of sand and limestone which is not native to the Bahamas. The second artefact was found by a diver with the expedition, Garry Varney. This was in the form of a stylized marble head, weighing over 136 kilograms. So far, it can't be matched to any known culture. The first artefact now resides in a new museum in Nassau, in the Bahamas. The journal of this particular expedition, plus a survey map of the area, is also on display. Obviously a lot more work needs to be done before any conclusions can be drawn. In the meantime, we must sit back, keep an open mind, and await further developments. It will be quite interesting to see what other traces of lost civilisations come to light in the region of the 'Lost Continent of Atlantis.' So far, Edgar Cayce doesn't seem to have been astray in any of his hundreds of predictions for the future of the world and mankind. All taken from some 30,000 readings that he gave from the 1920s, until he died in 1945. 4 - Careful, Your Aura Is Showing Colour has always been so much a part of our lives, that like anything that is always available, we start to take it for granted. We live on such a beautiful planet, and yet I am sure that many of us don't notice the wonderful subtleties and remarkable variance of the colours around us. Or if we do, it is only when we take an all too brief a pause from the daily routine of living. It seems that the only time that people become really conscious of colour is when they need [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
