In April 2005, Osmanagić was invited to visit Visočica and its fortress ruins. During the visit Osmanagić noticed the pyramidal shape of Visočica hill. He subsequently wrote a book promoting the claim that the hill was the remains of an ancient, man-made pyramid, which he claimed was one of five colossal stone structures in the shape of a pyramid with an extensive prehistoric tunnel network. He named those structures "Bosnian pyramids", and established a charitable foundation, the 'Archaeological Park: Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Foundation', to fund the promotion and investigation of the site. Osmanagić claimed that he wished to excavate in order to "break a cloud of negative energy, allowing the Earth to receive cosmic energy from the centre of the galaxy".In early 2006, geologists from the University of Tuzla analyzed core samples at Visočica. Their tests showed that the hill is composed of the same material as other mountains in the area: alternating layers of conglomerate, clay and sandstone. Excavations revealed layers of fractured conglomerate at Visočica, while those at Pljesevica uncovered cracked sandstone plates, separated by layers of silt and clay. Robert M. Schoch, associate professor of Natural Science at Boston University, said at the time, "What [Osmanagić has] found isn't even unusual or spectacular from the geological point of view. It's completely straightforward and mundane." In April 2006, twenty-one historians, geologists and archaeologists signed an open letter describing the excavations as amateurish and lacking proper scientific supervision.The 'Bosnian Pyramid' project is alleged to have done considerable damage to the archaeological heritage of the area, which contains ruins of a medieval capital, Roman observation post, and earlier remains. Anthony Harding, Professor of Archaeology at Exeter University and then-president of the European Association of Archeologists, said that, "Osmanagić is conducting a pseudo-archaeological project that, disgracefully, threatens to destroy parts of Bosnia's real heritage."Dr. Sam Osmanagich is a scientist, megalithic and pyramid sites researcher, internationally acclaimed author and businessman. He’s Bosnian-born American citizen who lives and works in Houston (USA) and Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina).He has discovered the Bosnian Valley of Pyramids that consist of at least five colossal pyramid structures and huge network of prehistorical underground tunnel network near the town of Visoko in central Bosnia-Herzegovina. He’s been Principal Investigator of the Project from 2005 to present. http://semirosmanagic.com/en/bosnian_pyramid.htmlHe holds Ph.D. on Mayan pyramids, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina (2002-2007).

George Mitrovic was born in 1955 in Wagga Wagga in Australia. George is an authority on the unknown and was involved with Alternative Lifestyle publications in Australia in the 1970s and 1980s. George has written a new series of books called the Atlas and History Series to do with phenomena ranging from UFOs through to Lakesmonsters to Hairy Hominoids and several other bizarre subjects and new titles will be coming out soon. The first is to do with UFOs from 1800 to 1977.George has discovered Wormholes and how to plot their progress on the surface of the Earth and has been researching this subject since the early 1970s. George has discovered synchronicities and periodicities to a multitude of phenomena based on incidences in time and space. This is all explained in "Gateways to the Gods", also on Kindle.George brings a totally different slant to the origins of many strange phenomena occurring on our planet and how they are all tied in together.At the moment George is working on a history of Cataclysms and their Cosmic triggers over the last one million years. The conclusions are startling and their effects on past civilizations still influence us today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Debunks cherished theories of mainstream consensus and reveals the deeper mysteries of the science of the unseen• Reveals a new “Theory of Everything” to replace the standard model and complete our knowledge of Earth Science, anthropology, psychology, and spirituality• Explains the failings of the Big Bang, evolution, ice age theory, and global warming• Shows how the Freudian and Jungian theories of the unconscious have grossly misrepresented the spirit of man and the psyche of humanityWhat if science and society’s most darling theories, taught as fact, were 100% wrong? What if the anomalies that disprove these theories were covered up and distorted and any serious challenges brushed off as lunacy, hysteria, junk science, and dissension?In this primer in deprogramming, Susan B. Martinez reveals the disinformation at the root of mainstream consensus thinking. She punches gaping holes in the cherished theories of the Big Bang, Darwinian evolution, ice ages, and global warming. Drawing on the ancient science of the unseen and revelations from the Oahspe Bible as well as some of the most advanced thinkers in astrophysics, she explains a new “Theory of Everything” to replace the standard model. She explores the concept of vortexya, the cosmic whirlwind of our own geomagnetic field, which explains quite simply the subtle changes that take place on Earth and in the universe over time without the “magical thinking” of the Big Bang, global warming, or ice ages.Martinez reveals how the instability of society itself has found its way into our theories, positing explosive change and acceleration where there is none. She explains how homo sapiens’ evolution did not suddenly accelerate 40,000 years ago and culture did not accelerate to birth civilization a mere 6,000 years ago. She shows how the theories of the Freudian and Jungian unconscious and of reincarnation have grossly misrepresented the spirit of man and the psyche of humanity.Resurrecting the majestic order that was once recognized at the basis of reality, Martinez shows that the shift from the Age of Disinformation to the Age of Understanding is well underway.Susan B. Martinez is an independent scholar, journalist, and activist who received her doctorate in Anthropology from Columbia University in the 1970s. Raised by agnostic/intellectual parents in Brooklyn, New York, she found her way to Spiritualism in the early 1980s and has since researched and wrote on psychic phenomena, specializing in modern Spiritualism in the Victorian era. Currently Book Review Editor at the Academy of Spirituality and Paranormal Studies, she lives in the north Georgia mountains.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

This book takes you into a world where knowledge, spirituality and science come together in a way that only the ancients and the protectors of the ancient ways are aware. This is a world that steps outside the norm and brings to you ancient knowledge and spirituality combined together in ways practiced by the ancients. This knowledge was later suppressed or destroyed by cultures with opposing agendas. This is a philosophy of wisdom and spirituality taught and passed down from the early days of creation.There have been many cataclysms that have intervened in the physical and spiritual development of man. However, throughout these interventions, there has always been an entity which has nourished mankind back from oblivion. Evidence of one of these interventions is demonstrated in the chapter titled “The Post-Apocalyptic Birthing Sites”.Much of the history revealed in the book you will see for the first time. That is because this history was not available until the rediscovery of the ancient science of Geoglyphology and the invention and research capabilities of the internet. It would be very difficult to understand the history discussed in this book without first understanding the ancient science of Geoglyphology. http://www.thefaramfoundation.com/geoglyphs.htm Geoglyphology has been used and handed down through secret societies for tens of thousands of years. The facts that “stone age man” was able to project lines, using Geoglyphology, across thousands of miles and connect to their objective, with little or no error, is in total opposition to current teachings. This would suggest that a higher technological capability existed either in, or alongside, ancient cultures.With the recent technology boom much of this previously hidden and ignored information is becoming available to the non-academic community. This book will go back in time and visit many of the artifacts and geoglyphs around the world to present an updated and more complete picture of man’s ancient history and spirituality.Arthur Faram through his previous careers as a computer analyst, and the CEO and founder of the first comprehensive background check company in the United States, is imminently qualified as a Historical Analyst. His analytical training has equipped him to uncover cultural secrets that have been hidden, and handed down through secret societies for millennia. Arthur earned a bachelors degree in business and has attended numerous technical schools involving analysis and investigation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

The Instant New York Times Bestseller!Was an advanced civilization lost to history in the global cataclysm that ended the last Ice Age? Graham Hancock, the internationally bestselling author, has made it his life's work to find out--and in America Before, he draws on the latest archaeological and DNA evidence to bring his quest to a stunning conclusion.We’ve been taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago – amongst the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors. But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-established picture and we know now that the Americas were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago – many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the scientists responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs. In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon rainforest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual beliefs with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures. Have archaeologists focused for too long only on the "Old World" in their search for the origins of civilization while failing to consider the revolutionary possibility that those origins might in fact be found in the "New World"?America Before: The Key to Earth's Lost Civilization is the culmination of everything that millions of readers have loved in Hancock's body of work over the past decades, namely a mind-dilating exploration of the mysteries of the past, amazing archaeological discoveries and profound implications for how we lead our lives today.GRAHAM HANCOCK is the author of the major international non-fiction bestsellers including The Sign and the Seal and Fingerprints of the Gods. His books have sold more than seven million copies worldwide and have been translated into thirty languages. His public lectures, radio and TV appearances, including TV series, Quest For The Lost Civilization and Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age, as well as his strong presence on the internet, have put his ideas before audiences of tens of millions. He resides in the UK.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Bestselling author and father of the Ancient Alien Theory Erich von Däniken explores what drove ancient humans to build city-sized places underground around the world and its connection to conflicts in the sky.War of the Gods examines ancient scriptures from India, Siberia, Tahiti, and many other regions of the world independently on reports of battles in the stars. Weapons of unimaginable destructive power were used in the battle. Use of one of these weapons destroyed a planet completely.Traditions from all over the world depict the gruesome effects of the battle in space. Many ancient stories speak of it raining fire from the sky for years. The people of the time tried to protect themselves from this, and thus created more testimonies that prove the star war and contact with beings from other planets.With impressive examples von Däniken illustrates some of the numerous cities that were dug underground as safe harbors from the destructive boulders. Miles and miles of underground passageways have been discovered around the world as they made space for villages and entire cities.To end the book, von Däniken presents his newest discoveries of an event that can only be described as shocking: In 2017, the author was informed that strange mummified creatures were found near the Peruvian village of Nazca. They lived several thousand years, had three fingers and three toes, and had exceptionally long heads. One of the mummies, apparently several thousand years ago, had been implanted with a metal plate under the skin. Scientists agree: These creatures are not from Earth!von Däniken is arguably the most widely read and most copied nonfiction author in the world. He published his first (and best known) book, Chariots of the Gods, in 1968. The worldwide bestseller was followed by 40 more books, including the recent bestsellers The Gods Never Left Us, Eyewitness to the Gods, Twilight of the Gods, History Is Wrong, Evidence of the Gods, Remnants of the Gods, and Odyssey of the Gods. His works have been translated into 28 languages and have sold more than 65 million copies. Several have also been made into films.Von Däniken's ideas have been the inspiration for a wide range of television series, including the History channel's hit Ancient Aliens. His research organization, the A.A.S.R.A./legendarytimes.com (Archaeology, Astronautics & SETI Research Association), comprises laymen and academics from all walks of life. Internationally, there are about 10,000. members.

Ice-age cave artists, the builders at Göbekli Tepe, and the mound-builders of North America all share a common ancestry in the Solutreans, Neanderthal-human hybrids of immense sophistication, who dominated southwest Europe before reaching North America 20,000 years ago. Yet, even before the Solutreans, the American continent was home to a powerful population of enormous stature, giants remembered in Native American legend as the Thunder People. New research shows they were hybrid descendants of an extinct human group known as the Denisovans, whose existence has now been confirmed from fossil remains found in a cave in the Altai region of Siberia.Tracing the migrations of the Denisovans and their interbreeding with Neanderthals and early human populations in Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas, Andrew Collins and Greg Little explore how the new mental capabilities of the Denisovan-Neanderthal and Denisovan-human hybrids greatly accelerated the flowering of human civilization over 40,000 years ago. They show how the Denisovans displayed sophisticated advances, including precision-machined stone tools and jewelry, tailored clothing, celestially-aligned architecture, and horse domestication. Examining evidence from ancient America, the authors reveal how Denisovan hybrids became the elite of the Adena mound-building culture, explaining the giant skeletons found in Native American burial mounds. The authors also explore how the Denisovans’ descendants were the creators of a cosmological death journey and viewed the Milky Way as the Path of Souls.Revealing the impact of the Denisovans upon every part of the world, the authors show that, without early man’s hybridization with Denisovans, Neanderthals, and other yet-to-be-discovered hominid populations, the modern world as we know it would not exist.Andrew Collins was born on January 25, 1957, in Bedford, England. He is a science and history writer, and the author of over a dozen books that challenge the way we perceive the past. They include The Black Alchemist, The Seventh Sword, From the Ashes of Angels, Gods of Eden, Gateway to Atlantis, Tutankhuman: The Exodus Conspiracy (co-authored with Chris Ogilvie Herald), The Cygnus Mystery, Göbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods, The Cygnus Key: The Denisovan Legacy, Göbekli Tepe and the Birth of Egypt and Denisovan Origins: Hybrid Humans, Göbekli Tepe and the Genesis of the Giants of Ancient America, co-authored with Greg L.
