Mystery of the Stone Spheres in Costa Rica
Stone spheres found in Costa Rica, ranging from small to massive sizes, have puzzled many due to their precision and origins. Archaeologist Dr. Ivar Zapp theorizes that these spheres were meticulously carved with a hard unidentified material, challenging the notion of ancient tools. These spheres, having perfectly round shapes, were possibly part of a navigational system for mariners, serving as study centers similar to universities for celestial navigation. The spheres are believed to have been used as tools for precise navigation based on celestial positioning.
Ancient Civilizations and Mysterious Origins
Dr. Ivar Zapp delves into the mysteries of ancient civilizations, proposing that the history of South and Central America dates back much earlier than conventional beliefs suggest. He uncovers evidence suggesting that a significant global catastrophe occurred around 11,000 years ago, impacting various civilizations worldwide. Refuting traditional narratives, Dr. Zapp highlights the presence of advanced cultures predating known historical timelines, emphasizing the need to reevaluate the origins and timelines of ancient societies.
Deciphering Ancient Language and Navigation Techniques
Dr. Ivar Zapp discusses the complexity of ancient languages and their connection to celestial navigation. He reveals insights into the Maya civilization, questioning their origins and suggesting a multidimensional ancestry involving diverse racial influences. By exploring the use of reversible and structured language patterns, Dr. Zapp links linguistic traits to navigational instructions based on star positions, shedding light on the intricate relationship between language, celestial knowledge, and ancient maritime civilizations.
Understanding Ancient Civilizations through Pyramid Building
Pyramid building in various ancient civilizations like the Maya and Egyptians was more than just architectural feats; they held astronomical significance. Dr. Zapp explains that pyramids were built as geodesic models representing celestial spheres. These structures accurately depicted global coordinates as one ascended, showing advanced knowledge of astronomy and geography shared among ancient cultures.
Granite Spheres as Ancient Navigational Aids
The granite spheres found in Costa Rica, believed to be navigation tools or markers, exhibit sophisticated craftsmanship and alignment. These spherical objects, potentially originating from an unknown civilization, were strategically placed on plateaus indicating astronomical alignments for navigation. Their arrangement and placement served as guides for understanding directional astronomy, a lost skill in modern times.
Published almost 20 years ago, Atlantis in America is one of the best accounts and evidence for a great maritime civilization that appears to have been partially based in Costa Rica. The book presents a new theory that the great stone spheres of Costa Rica and sighting stones throughout the Pacific were used to teach sea routes and constellation paths to navigators of the ancient world. ATLANTIS IN AMERICA was the first book to state that the nearly-perfect spheres of Costa Rica and the great astronomical structures at Tikahuanaco (Alto Peru), Teotihuacan (Pyramids of the Sun and Moon in the Valley of Mexico), and Chichen Itza ( Kukulcan Temple, Observatory in the Yucatan), were all just pieces of a puzzle that ran through all of the tropical and sub-tropical Americas. Since these sites (and many more) shared many similarities, and since they all left navigational clues, Erikson and Zapp predicted that the Americas would one day be known as Atlantis and that the heart of this ancient navigational culture would be found by underwater archaeology at depths of several hundred feet in the waters off tropical America.
Zapp is a retired professor of architecture from the University of Costa Rica.
