According to the Papyrus of Turin, which is a complete list of kings up to the New Kingdom, before Menes (before 3000 BCE) the "...venerables Shemsu-Hor, [reigned] 13,420 years" and there were "Reigns up to Shemsu-Hor, 23,200 years". 👉 These two lines in the King’s List are explicit. According to their documents, the total years of Egyptian history goes back 36,620 years!

🌟 MALTA: The ancient Mnajdra (m-na-ee-dra) temple complex site consists of three conjoined Neolithic temples overlooking an oval forecourt. 👉According to standard archaeological dating, the first and oldest temple dates back to 3600-3200 BCE. The most impressive of the temples is the third, constructed between 3150-2500 BCE. This temple is perhaps the finest surviving on the Islands! The masonry here shows intricate knowledge of building techniques and excellent workmanship.

👉 The ancient builders of the site aligned the lower temple astronomically. On the equinoxes the rays of the sun pass directly through the temple’s main doorway (shown here) and light up the main axis. At the summer solstice, the sun lights up the edge of a megalith to the left of the doorway, connecting the first pair of chambers to the inner chambers. At the winter solstice, the same effect can be seen on the corresponding megalith on the right hand side.

👉According to Mark Amaru Pinkham - Author of the popular classic The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom https://www.sevenrayorder.com/books-courses-tours
"Legend has it that thousands of years ago very tall lovers of the Goddess with elongated skulls known as the Serpent People built megalithic temples on the summit of a ridge of towering mountains that united Africa to Europe. This ridge was eventually swallowed up when the immense wall of water that sunk Atlantis poured through the Pillars of Hercules and then created the Mediterranean Sea. The only temples to survive were those built upon the highest peaks, which then became islands. Two of those peaks and their associated Goddess temples survive today on the Islands of Malta and Gozo. The Serpent People who built the temples of Malta designed them to reflect the body of their beloved Mother Goddess. They covered them in Goddess spirals and then set 'Fat Lady' images of Her inside for worship. Their temples were calendars in stone, perfectly aligned with many solar and stellar positions, as well as chambers for initiation into the Goddess Mysteries."

💥 We explored this controversial mystery at Mnajdra during our Spiritual Pilgrimage to The Ancient Sacred Sites of The Mother Goddess, October 12 - 19, 2019. http://www.sacredsitesjourneys.com/Malta-Oct2019/Malta-Oct2019.htm

💥🫨 The granite boxes found in the Serapeum at Saqqara are one of the most amazing of the ancient mysteries of EGYPT!

👉 Mainstream archaeologists tell us that the dynastic Egyptians carved them to use as sarcophagi for the devoutly revered apis bulls. They were considered a manifestation of the pharaoh, as bulls were symbols of strength and fertility, qualities that are closely linked with kingship.

👉 Our research over the last 25 years in EGYPT leads us to believe that they were not constructed by the dynastic Egyptians, as they didn't have tools that would have made such precise cuts in this very hard stone. Rather, we think that it was pre-dynastic people who were from a more advanced civilization with a higher level of technology who built them.

Researchers may have finally discovered the origin of the wheel

A research team led by Columbia University historian Richard Bulliet, along with engineers Lee Alacoque from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Kai James from Georgia Institute of Technology, provides a compelling theory on the origin of the wheel

Their findings point to ancient copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains as the creators of the first wheeled devices, specifically for transporting ore. The study’s insights, supported by computational modeling, challenge conventional theories about the wheel’s invention, previously linked to the potter’s wheel in Mesopotamia around 4000 BCE.

➡ From Page Admin Andrea Mikana-Pinkham 🌟 The world-famous Rosetta Stone, the key that led to deciphering hieroglyphs, thus unlocking many mysteries about the history of dynastic Egypt! 👇 I saw this many years ago in the British Museum while visiting my son who was living & studying in London at the time. Very impressive!

DECIPHERING HIEROGLYPHS - For many years hieroglyphs were not understood at all. In 1798 CE Napoleon Bonaparte went to Egypt with many researchers and they copied several Egyptian texts and images. One year later, the Rosetta was found, a decree of Ptolemy V, with the same text written in Greek, demotic and hieroglyphic writing.

Finally, Jean-François Champollion unraveled the mystery. He identified the name of Ptolemy V written on the Rosetta Stone, by comparing the hieroglyphs with the Greek translation. Then, he continued to study the names, using an obelisk from Philae (now in Dorset, England). The obelisk had the name of Ptolemy and Cleopatra written on it. This made it possible to conclude that the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic writing was a mixture of signals representing sounds, ideas and words, not a common alphabet. Champollion's achievement in deciphering the Rosetta Stone unlocked the secret of the ancient Egyptian writing system and allowed the world to finally read into Egyptian history.

TURKEY: Sefer Tepe is a multi-layered Pre-Pottery Neolithic site. The upper layer dates back to the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (EPPNB), ~10,500 years ago, with an older Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) layer below.

Sefer Tepe is one of Turkey's important Taş Tepeler sites, and was occupied at the same time as both Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe.

Since excavations began in 2021, they are expanding quickly and the finds coming out of the ground are astonishing.

🌟 EGYPT: King Tut's Tomb - Why was King Tut's tomb that small? Egyptologist Catherine Roehrig asks if it might be because he died so young. She and a team attempt to carve a tomb out of desert sandstone, using the same tools as the dynastic Egyptians. "By the time of Tutankhamun they'd been bjuilding these tombs for 250 years, with incredible precision."

💥 Also contains awesome footage of the Tomb of Seti I!

🌟👨‍🌟 Women Explorers of Egypt: Amelia Edwards (1831-1892) toured Egypt in the winter of 1873-74, travelling the usual route from Cairo to Abu Simbel and back in the rich embrace of a dahabiyeh houseboat. Having returned to England, she wrote a vivid account of her journey, A Thousand Miles up the Nile (1877). She became an advocate for the preservation and research of ancient monuments, co-founding the Egypt Exploration Fund (later Society) in 1882. With the support of this Fund, the archaeologist William Flinders Petrie began his various excavations in Egypt.

🌟 Telluric Energies - Places of Power and Places of Magic

From Ricardo Calvario: In one previous research, I looked into a megalithic site called the The Tall stones Dolmen. In it, I express the apparent lack of palpable energy at the stones and from the ground. This made me think on other sites and how different was their energy. I was aware for many years now of the concept of Ley Lines, the power cables of the planet surface that energize the landscapes of the world, but it was only after the research for this video that I realised that what I saw as significant but quite straight forward subject, was not that simple after all. So in this video, I intend to try and differentiate the typology of the energy of landscape features and ancient sites, and make reference to a very special one that to me, is one of the largest man made projects to collect, amplify and use this energy from a magical point of view.
