The Guanches were the first known inhabitants
of the Cary Islands, of the coast of Northwestern Africa,
but their true origins have long been a mystery
to archeologists.
They were accomplished astronomers
and for some their mummification rituals linked them
to the ancient Egyptians.
Whilst for others their legends suggest they could even be
surviving inhabitants of Atlantis.
New scientific evidence may have found the truth about these
mysterious people.
Recently, archeological excavations revealed
that the inhabitants of the Canary Island traded with Rome
and new DNA evidence has shed some light on the origins
of the population.
The Canary Islands are an autonomous community
of Spain consisting of an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean,
southwest of the Iberian Peninsula,
and 76 miles off the coast of Morocco.
The eight main islands are Tenerif flight of Ventura,
grand Canaria, Lanzarote, la Palmer lag
El Hiro and lag.
The Canary Islands are volcanic islands
and are essentially the peaks
of a huge volcanic mountain range now partially submerged.
The first historical record of the islands
so far discovered is from the first century Roman
writer Pliny The Younger.
An expedition to the islands was apparently sent by Dubber
ii, the Roman Klein king of NewMedia
and Mauritania in around 30 BC
under the Roman Catholic Republic and Empire.
NewMedia consisted of a part of Africa north of the Sahara,
corresponding roughly to the modern Western Tunisia
and Eastern Algeria.
It was during this expedition
that the islands got their name of the Canary Islands
because of the multitude of large dogs found there.
The Roman word Canis meaning dog.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, we hear nothing
of the islands for hundreds of years until
around a thousand AD where the Arabs landed
and traded with the inhabitants of Grand Canaria.
In 1150 AD the Arab geographer Mohammed Al Idrisi
compiled the first official account of the population
of the islands, which consisted of short descriptions
of sailors and accounts.
At the time, during the 15th and 16th century, Spain
and Portugal began colonizing the Americas
and Africa stopping off at the Canary Islands.
Along the way, when they arrived on the Canary Islands,
they encountered a culture
that resembled the neolithic cultures of prehistoric Europe.
Complete Spanish conquest
of the islands was completed in 1496
and they became a vital Spanish base on sea
roots to the Americas.
As a result of Spanish colonization, the diseases introduced
by the European conquerors
and the slave trade by the native Ches
of the island chain were decimated losing
much of their culture.
In the process. By the 19th century,
the Canary Islanders had even lost their language as it came
to be replaced by Spanish.
There are still, however, some reminders
of the once thriving culture of the Gans
of the Canary Islands.
The Ches, the Ches were the first known inhabitants
of the Canary Islands, the indigenous people.
When the Spanish arrived there in the 15th century,
they lived mainly in natural caves
or occasionally built low stone huts
and small fortifications.
The Ches lived off farming
and herding had a diet which included milk, goat, pork,
and fruits and dressed mainly in goat skin, leather, tunics,
and vests made of plated rushes.
Archeological research suggests
that they were organized in a tribal society ruled
by chieftains or kings.
The goche were not skilled sailors, and
therefore the culture of each
of the Canary Islands developed differently.
In Tene, for example,
the Gus civilization was divided into nine small kingdoms
each led by a ruling.
Mensey caves were also used for grain storage
and as temples and some are still preserved today
and demonstrate the sophisticated astronomical
knowledge of the Goche.
The most impressive of these structures is risk.
Al-Qaeda, a vast cultural site covering
around 18,000 hectares on the island of Grand Canaria.
The archeological site consists
of 21 caves containing significant rock art believed
to relate to magical or religious beliefs
and fertility rituals.
One of these caves has a small opening in its roof
where light enters from the summer solstice to autumn,
allowed sunlight and moonlight to enter the caves
and illuminates symbolic engravings on the walls.
Because of this, many archeologists think
that risk Qaeda could have been used
by the prehistoric inhabitants as a primitive,
astronomical clock.
Over the years, there have been a number
of fines made in the Canary Islands,
which suggested some sort of contact with the Roman world.
In 1964,
the Roman amphora storage jar was discovered in waters off
Lanzarote, and since that time,
other examples have been found underwater.
None, however could be securely dated.
A few years ago, however, excavations on the island
of Lanzarote uncovered the first securely dated evidence
of Roman trade with the islands.
Investigations at the prehistoric settlement of El Berro
yielded around a hundred Roman pot shards, nine pieces
of metal and one piece of glass.
The artifacts were found in archeological levels,
which indicate that they dated between the first
and fourth centuries ad legends of Atlantis
and ancient Egypt.
There are numerous legends surrounding the native people
of the Canary Islands.
Some believe they were somehow related to the Celts
or perhaps even the Vikings, others,
that the cones were descended from the inhabitants
of the mythical land of Atlantis.
In this theory, Cape Verde, the Azores, Madeira
and the Canary Islands would be the remains
of this legendary sunken continent.
A more recent theory connects the first settlers
of the Canary Islands with the Burber Canary tribe.
The Gus have also been linked to ancient Egyptians, perhaps
as a colony of that civilization
because of their habit of mummifying their dead.
It is a fact that the Goche use similar methods
to the ancient Egyptians when preserving the remains
of their high ranking citizens.
After the mummification process,
the bodies were buried underground or inside caves.
Unfortunately, many of these mummies were stolen
or looted by later grave robbers.
Though some have managed to survive, the mummy
of Madrid is perhaps the best preserved of the GU mummies
as its careful embalming kept its organs intact
and even preserved the man's hair.
The man who died during his early thirties was mummified
between the 11th and 13th centuries ad just a few centuries
before the Spanish invaded the Canary Islands
new DNA evidence.
In June, 2019, it was announced
that DNA studies had resolved many
of the outstanding questions
regarding the origins of the gans.
Dr. Linus Gerland Flink, a researcher at Liverpool,
John Moore's University in the uk who was part
of the research team stated previous studies
of the ES relied on single genetic markers such
as the mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomes.
These markers often lack the analytical precision needed
to resolve finer levels of population history.
By sequencing autosomal DNA, we gained unique insights
to the ancestry and origin of these populations.
The researcher team generated the genome wide sequence data
and mitochondrial genomes from 11 guang individuals
originating from archeological sites in grand area
and 10 leading author of the study Dr.
Ricardo Rodriguez Varella,
a researcher at Stockholm University, explain the results
of the team's fascinating study
by generating the first autosomal genetic data from these
populations, we can conclusively demonstrate
that the Gus were most closely related
to modern North Africans of Berber ancestry than
to any other population we included
for comparisons supporting previous studies,
but adding more detail and nuance.
The study was also able to show that the modern habitants
of Gran Canaria inherited between 16
and 31% of their genomic ancestry from the Ches,
the burber spread throughout North Africa more than 3000
years ago, occupying what is today the area from Libya
to the Sahara Rosa free girl,
a geneticist at La Laguna University
who took part in the research said of the results.
Thanks to DNA analysis we've been able to dispel the notion
that the Gus were practically vikings tall,
blonde and blue eyed.
Everything indicates that they came from North Africa
and were physically similar to the Berber white skin
with a tendency to an olive complexion
and brown eyes that could be light colored.
In some cases, cliches and legends.
Not withstanding the ancient inhabitants
of the Canary Islands were not so different from today's,
but the question is, if the original inhabitants
of the Canary Islands came from North Africa, how
and when did they arrive?
Archeologists believed
that there were two major migrations the first
around 2,500 years ago
and the second one at around the first century ad
when North Africa was part of the Roman Empire.
They are believed to have made the crossing in
relatively small vessels.
Although no remains of these have ever been found.
In February, 2020, it was announced
that the mummified remains
of 72 individuals had been discovered
by amateur archeologists using a drone in a cave
on Grandin area.
A rose Hema Gonzales who made the incredible discovery,
said we were flying a drone
and we took some pictures of the cave.
It is in a very difficult place to access
and you need to climb a cliff to reach the site.
People thought the photos were fake
because of all the bones there, but they were not fake
and the bones are believed to belong
to Goen mummified remains.
Archeologists Veronica Alberto
and culture counselor Javier Vela
confirmed the discovery stating that the cave dates back to
between the eighth and 10th centuries ad
A few years ago,
newspapers all over the world carried the story
that ancient history researcher Robert Sarma has located the
lost continent of Atlantis,
of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus.
Sonar scanning apparently revealed manmade structures in the
water around the island.
One mile beneath sea level SMAs believed
that the Mediterranean basin was flooded in 9,000 bc,
which submerged rectangular landmass,
which he maintains was Atlantis.
Although archeologists at the time dismissed Sammas claims
out of hand, new evidence suggests there may indeed be an
ancient city submerged in the waters around Cyprus
almost every year without fail.
The headline Atlantis found Blairs out from various
newspapers all over the world.
In fact, the range of hypothetical locations
for Atlantis is staggering.
The ow and civilization
of late Bronze age Crete supposedly destroyed
by a colossal earthquake on the neighboring island
of Thera modern day Santorini
around 1450 BC was long thought
to have been an indirect influence on Plato's Atlantis.
However, research into late bronze age Crete has shown
that the Manone civilization continue to flourish long
after the theory and quake.
This vast array of wildly different theories has contributed
to the skepticism of many researchers who believe
that Plato's Atlantis was merely a political allegory
designed to glorify Athens
as the perfect state fighting against a decadent
and greedy atlantian empire.
For them, the story begins and ends with Plato.
Solon never visited Egypt
and heard the story from the priests at SaaS.
They reason that Plato located Atlantis out in the Atlantic
beyond the pillars of Hercules
because in his time this vast not represented the limit
of the world known to the Greeks.
Atlantis researchers of course would completely disagree
with this conclusion.
Indeed one of them Iranian American architect Robert Smat,
believes he knows exactly where Atlantis is.
Did Robert Smat find Atlantis off Cyprus?
Smat first hit the headlines in November, 2004 when
newspapers carried the story that
after nearly 10 years
of research using ocean mapping technology
and accounts from ancient texts,
he'd located Atlantis of Cyprus.
Salmat was quoted as saying, this is going
to rewrite the history books.
We are set to make the biggest archeological
discovery of all time.
He claimed that around 9,000 BC the Mediterranean basin was
flooded in a deluge, the submerged,
rectangular manmade site, which he believed was Atlantis.
The lost civilization apparently lay around 5,000 feet
below sea level, 50 miles
or so off the southeastern coast of Cyprus.
Sarma and his team had carried out deep water sonar
scanning, which indicated manmade structures on a submerged
hill, including a wall almost three miles long,
a walled hill summit and deep trenches.
Sarma six day expedition cost about $200,000
and was partly funded by the Cprt Tourist organization.
Samat was quoted at the time as saying of his discoveries,
it is a miracle.
We found these walls as their location
and lengths match exactly the description of the Acropolis
of Atlantis provided by Plato in his writings.
We cannot yet provide tangible proof in the form of bricks
and mortar as the artifacts are still buried under several
meters of sediment, but the circumstantial
and other evidence is irrefutable.
My discovery will vindicate Plato within his dialogues.
Plato provides factual clues as to what Atlantis was like.
I have matched all
but two of the 45 clues with the area around Cyprus
that either the biggest coincidence in the history
of the world or we have found Plato's Atlantis
Plato's account is so detailed that it is possible
to make city plans based on his description.
These match exactly the anti-dilution maps of Cyprus
as discovered through oceanographic mapping.
SMAs had in fact revealed his discoveries the year
before he hit the newspaper headlines in a book entitled
Discovery of Atlantis, the Startling Case
for the Island of Cyprus.
At a 2004 press conference to announce his discoveries,
Sarma was challenged by Michelle Morso, a French geologist
who lives on Cyprus to provide evidence
that the Mediterranean had been flooded far,
far more recently than the conventionally accepted
5 million years.
Unfortunately, Salma was not able
to provide any evidence whatever to back up his claims.
Depo Ides
and archeologists at the Department
of Antiquities in Cyprus said of salamis claims,
the latest theory should be taken
with a very large pinch of salt.
Archeologists only work with hard evidence.
There is no evidence whatsoever to give credence
to this hypothesis
and we have no intention of investigating it.
Commenting on SMAs interpretation of the sonar results,
many Pisa are social anthropologist at Liverpool.
John Moore's University in the UK criticized his far-fetched
theories and unscientific approach.
Selective interpretation is nothing more than the blinkered
reading of very ambiguous and unconvincing images.
He said anyone with a critical eye can pick out these images
that they're far too vague
and uncertain to be regarded as compelling evidence
for any manmade structures.
The very foundation on which the hoax is based is
completely bogus.
According to his theory, Mr.
Sarma claims
that the Mediterranean basin was flooded in a deluge
around 9,000 bc,
which submerged rectangular landmass he
believes was Atlantis.
The problem is there is no evidence whatsoever
for any large scale flooding of the Mediterranean basin at
that time not to be deterred.
Samas organized a second expedition to the site in 2006,
but results of the work were inconclusive.
He returned to Cyprus in June, 2011
to film a documentary in support of his Atlantis theory.
He again had the backing of the Cyprus tourism organization
as well as the history channel together with the number
of private investors.
However, Samas appears to have made no further discoveries
that the supposed site of Atlantis
and nothing has been heard from him on the subject subject
since 2013.
New discoveries off Cyprus.
However, the theory
that ancient Atlantis may lie submerged in the waters
of Cyprus does not seem to be dead yet.
In April, 2018, CPR newspaper the Cyprus traveler announced
that a chance discovery by group of tourists had led a team
of marine archeologists to the location
of Atlantis off the coast of pathos,
a coastal city in southwest Cyprus.
The team led by archeologist Mallios Asio used luge
cutting edge soner technology to scan the ocean bed.
After further surveillance deep ground radar
and digital mapping, a team was sent to the ocean floor
where they discovered an ancient statue of Aphrodite.
After extensive analysis, professor Costas Antos
from Cyprus University's department
of Antiquities authenticated the relic
and confirmed that the extraordinary find was the first
artifact that categorically proved that the great
and wonderful empire of Atlantis was located off the coast
of PAOs, a large scale operation
to recover further artifacts
and building remains was soon underway
with a Cyprus tourism organization.
Also planning to put out a tender for the building
of a pathos based Atlantis museum.
Marius Asio commented on these spectacular discoveries.
Over the centuries, there's been heated debate over whether
Atlantis was a mythical
or historical location with hundreds of archeologists
and geologists searching for its location.
In fact, the reason I became a marine archeologist was
to try to discover the true location of Atlantis.
Having completed my lifetime goal, I'm looking forward
to enjoying an early retirement.
He added I was astounded when I heard that Asio
and his team had discovered the location of the lost city
of Atlantis, mainly
because my great-grandmother always used
to tell us Atlantis could be found at
that exact spot in the ocean.
No one listened to her.
Of course, it seemed the old bird was right.
Marina Milona, a marketing
and tourism officer at the Cyprus Tourism
Organization added.
It's been long rumored that the lost city
of Atlantis was located just off the coast of Cyprus
and we are delighted that this has been
officially confirmed.
The ruins of a two
and a half thousand year old lost ancient civilization were
recently found in the lake in Stan.
Some researchers believe
that these ancient remains may include an ancient Armenian
monastery where according to legend, the body
of Saint Matthew, one of Jesus's disciples
and his many relics were buried.
A number of Orthodox Christians have long believed
that Matthew was finally laid
to rest here long after his death.
Since the 19th century Russian scientists, archeologists,
and researchers from the Rgis Academy
of Sciences have studied ancient relics
around isic cool hot lake, one of the world's highest
and deepest lakes located in a valley in the high central
Asian mountains in the republic of Stan.
Iko Lake is 113 miles long up to 37 miles wide
and has an area of 2,408 square miles.
It reaches 2,192 feet in depth.
The lake was first mentioned by Chinese
and Islamic map makers at the beginning
of the eighth century.
Archeological finds from the site have included petroglyphs
and 3000 year old nomadic burial mounds known as Gans,
early Christian monasteries and medieval cities.
The Lakers long held a fascination for researchers
as divers have been exploring its depth since as long ago
as the 1860s,
there was a significant rise in the water level
of the lake at the end of the 14th century
and the beginning of the 15th.
As a result of this, the remains
of various ancient cultures were submerged,
including bronze age settlements, saki of Sunni burial mans
of the first century BC medieval towns and settlements
and turkic monuments.
Since 1985, professor Vladimir fluky,
vice president of the Kgi Academy
of Sciences has been directing underwater surveys,
the excavations at Isic.
Cool, and in 2010, he joined forces with National Geographic
to explore the extraordinary history of the lake.
In September, 2013, scientists
and archeologists from National Geographic began
investigations at the lake.
The team chose this site due
to its position at an important location along the legendary
silk Road with roots running along its shores.
In the past, innumerable traders, caravans
and nomadic tribes
and armies traveled along the 130 mile long lake leaving an
extraordinary archeological legacy.
Behind the Silk Road was an ancient trade route linking
China with the west along which goods
and ideas were carried between the two great civilizations
of Rome and China
and later between medieval European kingdoms in China
in the Middle Ages, the area surrounding the lake was fought
over by two opposing lines of descendants from Genghis Khan,
the Eastern Mongols
and the city dwelling Islamic Western Mongols.
The legendary Western Mongol leader Tamerlan was sent
to a fought a battle over the lake region in the early 14
hundreds, and there aren't medieval records
of a palace built by the conqueror on the lake shore.
Is it cool? Some researchers believe it's the same structure
as the 15th century palace near the town of chomp and Atta.
Described by the medieval Arab historian Iben Arab Sheik
in December, 2007, it was announced
that Russian researchers had discovered important ancient
remains, a previously unknown culture beneath the lake.
According to reports,
Russian archeologists discovered traces of a large city
with an area of several square kilometers.
In other words, it was a metropolis in its time.
We also found side un burial mounds eroded
by waves over the centuries
and numerous well-preserved artifacts, bronze battle axes,
arrowheads, self sharpening daggers objects discarded
by Smiths casting molds
and a faceted gold bar,
which was a monetary unit of the time.
In August of 2014, Russian news outlets published a story
that divers from Tom State University had located another
previous unknown, ancient settlement beneath the lake.
Along with 200 artifacts,
perhaps the most fascinating find was a piece
of large ceramic pot which had a stamp on it,
written in Armenian and Syrian scripts.
This find may have been supporting evidence for the story
that an Armenian monastery existed on this site in
medieval times.
According to Dimitri Gorn who led the diving team,
the inscribed pot fragment was truly unique.
He added experts are now working on the identification
of the writings of the stamps,
but it's supposed to be Armenian Syrian script.
If this proves to be correct, it will be further evidence
that there was an Armenian monastery on Isic K in the 14th
century where according to the legends relics
of Matthew were stored.
There is indeed a tradition
that a monastery on this remote lake was the last resting
place of evangelists St.
Matthew, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus intriguingly.
When the Russian traveler pp OV was in Venice in the 1850s,
he came upon a copy of the Catalan Atlas from 1375.
In this work, he found a drawing
of a lakeside monastery with a caption.
The spot is named Issa Cole.
Here is a monastery of Armenian brethren, which is rumored
to possess the relics of St.
Matthew, the apostle and evangelist.
The extraordinary Catalan Atlas is a perpetual calendar
and thematic representation of the known world produced
by the major York and graphic school.
The creation of the atlas has been attributed
to Abraham Cress.
A Jewish cartographer from Palmer Majorca OV believed
that the monks probably chose a site on the Menti Bay
as the site was protected from rough water
and rich with fish.
After visiting Isic Cole in 1856 to 57,
Soff wrote, Menti Bay meets these conditions,
but I unfortunately did not find on the shore,
nor in the drifts of the neighboring shore any object
supporting my supposition.
50 years later, a Russian Orthodox monastery
was built in the area.
However many Christians believe
that Matthew the apostles remains were discovered in Ermo,
Italy in 10 80
and are now in Salerno Cathedral,
which is dedicated to the saint.
Apparently St. Matthew's relics had been brought
to the town in 9 54 Ad St.
Matthew also called St Matthew the evangelist and St.
Matthew the apostle was one of the 12 apostles
of Jesus Christ and the traditional author
of the first synoptic gospel, the gospel according
to Matthew, according to the calling
of Matthew in the biblical book of Matthew,
he had been a tax collector
before being called to follow Jesus.
As Jesus went on from there,
he saw a man named Matthew sitting at a
tax collector's booth.
Follow me, he told him and Matthew got up and followed him.
While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house,
many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him
and his disciples.
When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples,
why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?
On hearing this, Jesus said, it is not the healthy
who need a doctor but the sick, but go
and learn what this means.
I desire mercy, not sacrifice for I have not come
to call the righteous but sinners.
According to tradition,
Matthew's missions later brought him to the east.
Perhaps Ethiopia
and Persia stories differ as
to whether he died a natural death or that of a martyr.
According to another tradition, he died as a martyr in Syria
and his relics were kept there for 150 years.
Apparently, his followers later fled from persecution
to the depths of Asia, bringing the relics
of the apostle with them.
Yet another tradition holds that St.
Matthew died while traveling to India
and established several Christian communities on his way.
One of which was is it's known
that a thriving Christian Armenian community existed in
Kyrgyzstan since the first century ad
many artifacts found in Chu Valley,
a large valley located in North Shan,
including an a gravestone
with a cross carrying an Armenian inscription.
Jesus, our Lord,
Assyrian inscription under the cross stated,
this is the grave of Johan, the Armenian bishop
and a date 7 7 2 in Armenian chronology corresponding
to 1323 ad.
In medieval times, two Armenian monasteries stood near one
of the villages on the shore of the lake
ley Ms. Bright Cape.
More evidence that the remains of St.
Matthew May have ended up in an Armenian monastery on the
lake comes from the late 19th century.
When Barron called bars Russian General
and explorer of Central Asia traveled to the site he wrote.
It is worth noting that not far from the Trinity monastery
of the confluence of rivers tie up
and koi ruins of an ancient town are found under water.
The town hosted the Armenian monastery
guarding the relics of St.
Matthew. Archeological investigation
of the mentee settlements began in 2005 when an
exploratory team visited the site of the monastery
and settlement fines from the area include a bronze crosses,
a signet ring with ornamentation colored beads
and more than two dozen crucifix necklaces
only ongoing continuous archeological expeditions
and detailed historical research can solve the mysteries
of IC Cole.
Nevertheless, some people are convinced
that this site is indeed the location
of the lost Armenian monastery
and possibly the remains of St.
Matthew.
According to Hindu legend,
there was once a mystical kingdom located in the middle
of the sea, the city was home to 900 palaces, all made
of gold and was supposed
to have arisen outta the waters on the command
of Lord Krishna.
Recently underwater archeologists claimed to have located
what some believe to be the foundations
of this fabulous lost city, of the coast
of modern daka in western India.
Chardan literally meaning the four abodes
or seats are the names of four pilgrimage sites in India
that are widely revered by Hindus.
It comprises of badrinath, dka, pur, and worm.
Daka is often identified with the D Duka kingdom,
the ancient kingdom of Krishna
and is believed to have been the first capital of Gujarat.
According to legend, Krishna founded the city in Gujarat's
west coast after he defeated
and killed his uncle cancer at Mathura.
In Indian epic literature, the ancient city is also known
as Deca.
Traditionally, modern D is identified with Deca.
Ancient Deca is supposed
to have sank into the sea In remote history, the ancient
and modern city, now known as dka,
is located on the western tip of the Sur Astra Peninsula.
In Gujarat, northwestern India in the 14th century,
the town's original temples were destroyed
by the deli emperors,
but the most important of them,
Jaga Manir was subsequently rebuilt Jaga Manir,
also known as the ish temple,
is a Hindu temple dedicated to God.
Krishna, who is worshiped here with the name
of Ddu Kadish or the king of Duka.
The five story sandstone edifice is supported by 72 pillars
and was constructed in the 15th to 16th centuries.
In the Chauka style, it's covers an area of 69
by 88.5 feet with its spire,
a dizzying 257 feet high.
The temple is visited by thousands of pilgrims every year.
Ancient vara is mentioned in a number
of Indian texts including the Maha Harta, the Shirad,
and the Bava Gita.
The Ma Harta described de vaca
as having 900,000 royal palaces, all constructed of crystal
and silver and decorated with emeralds.
The ancient city was connected by an elaborate system
of boulevards, roads, marketplaces,
assembly houses, and temples.
Archeological investigations in the city of Daka
and offshore in the Arabian Sea have been undertaken
by the archeological survey of India since the 1960s.
Over the past decade
or so, underwater excavations have uncovered interesting
remains at a depth of 120 feet in the Gulf
of Cam Bay off the western coast of India.
Some reports claim these discoveries could be over 9,000
years old and cover an area five miles long
and two miles wide.
Marine archeologists have used a technique known
as sub bottom profiling to reveal
that the buildings remain stand on enormous foundations.
One news report in the new Indian Express from August, 2018
stated sensationally,
marine scientists say archeological remains discovered 36
meters, 120 feet underwater in the Gulf
of Kabe off the western coast
of India could be over 9,000 years old.
It's believed to predate the oldest known remains
in the subcontinent.
By more than 5,000 years
carbon dating on debris recovered from the site,
including construction, material, pottery, sections
of walls, beads, sculpture, and human bones
and teeth, put it at nearly nine
and a half thousand years old,
making it older than the Sumerian civilization
by several thousand years.
It's also older than the Egyptian and Chinese civilizations.
The city is believed to be even older than the ancient
Harapan civilization, sandstone walls, and a grid of streets
and other evidence of a seaport 70 feet underwater.
Alongside artifacts dating back
to 7,500 BC have convinced some researchers
that finally the legendary city
of 900,000 royal palaces has been located.
The archeological explorations of the coast
of daka have also brought to light a large number
of stone structures.
These are semi-circular, rectangular
and square stone edifices scattered randomly
over a vast area.
Besides these structures, many varieties
of stone anchors have been uncovered alongside the
structures as well.
Such findings suggests
that the ancient de vaca was once a busy port,
though the structures are thought to date
to comparatively late in the site's history probably
belonging to the late medieval period.
Indeed, various Indian historians have stated
that the stone anchors match those used in the Indo Arab
trade from the eighth to 14th century ad.
However, this recent date has not stopped some from claiming
that the remains represent the legendary loss city
of de Vaca and so must be 9,000 years old.
The lead archeologist of a number
of excavations at the site.
The late Dr. SR Reo described the town plan
of early Deca based on his team's discoveries,
there were two fortification walls, one on the lower terrace
and other in the middle terrace.
These walls which extend over a length
of four kilometers on the eastern shore are mostly destroyed
by sea action.
The walls of the lower terrace are
of massive dress sandstone blocks.
While that of the upper terrace are of rubble, the houses
and other public buildings built
of smaller size stones within the enclosures are all
destroyed and leveled up by the encroachment of the sea.
These structures lie to depth of seven to 10 meters
below the present mean sea level indicating a rise
of 10 meters in sea level during the last 3,600 years.
In the opinion of some researchers,
the rise in sea level mentioned by Dr.
Rao seems to indicate that ancient de vaca was destroyed
by a great flood.
Indeed, for some archeological proof of the existence
of the de vaca and its submergence perhaps in the second
millennium, BC reflects the truth
of the descriptions in the Maha harta.
For them, the fines would make the Maha Harta not merely a
book of myths and legends,
but to some extent a genuine account of past events.
In September, 2019, it seemed that final proof
for the wonderful architectural achievements of ancient deca
have been discovered underwater of modern dwana.
A Twitter user going
by the name at jks shared four sensational photos
showing Ornately decorated underwater sculptures
and structures with one resembling a temple tower.
There was a claim accompanying the image which stated Shri
kna daka the sunken city in Gujarat
as described in the Moab Harta.
It is real, yet the Christian world says there is no proof.
The tweet was retweeted over 1500 times.
However, subsequent research into the four images reveal the
falseness of the claim.
One image showing the sculpture of a lion
with its left paw resting on a ball was traced
to an underwater memorial reef near Ki bisque
in Miami, Florida.
It is the largest manmade reef in the world
and contains two statues of lions
to mark the entrance to the site.
It is a photo of one
of these lions which was used on Twitter as proof
of new discoveries from ancient draca.
The three other images were also traced
to various other online sources,
including various Photoshopped composite images using
various temple remains collected from all over the world.
Consequently, it's obvious
that the images used on Twitter have no connection
whatsoever to ancient daka.
Indeed, the whole claim
of a submerged civilization off the coast
of daka dating back 9,000 years rests on extremely shaky
grounds in the media accounts of the discoveries.
The claim of the city being 9,000 years old is based
entirely on one radiocarbon date from a single piece
of wood, but this piece
of wood could very easily have belonged to a tree
that existed prior to these underwater remains.
No other object from the excavation has actually been dated.
Experts have pointed out
that the area in which remains have been found has huge
tidal movements, which would've moved artifacts
and even structures around perhaps many miles from their
original locations.
Furthermore, many of these stone objects found seem
to be geo facts rather than artifacts
and is natural objects made by water and sand erosion.
The argument that there's a submerged 9,000 Euros di raca in
the area is based on the premise
that a submerged coastal settlement could only have been
built when sea levels were much lower and
therefore could only have been built
before the end of the last ice age around 10,000 years ago.
The question of when
and how the continent
of Australia was first populated has always been a bit
of a puzzle to archeologists,
but recently some new light has been shed on the
an international team of archeologists, geographers,
ecologists and computer scientists mapped the probable
superhighways that led to the first people
of the Australian continent around 50,000
to 70,000 years ago.
The team generated a fascinating map which reveals these
migration superhighways traversed
by early humans in Australia,
which mysteriously bear striking similarities
to Australia's modern highways and stock route.
Some researchers have also suggested a connection
between these newly discovered superhighways
and the mysterious aboriginal dreaming tracks.
Over the years, there have been many theories about
where the indigenous ancestors first settled in Australia
tens of thousands of years ago,
but evidence for this activity is extremely scarce.
Only a very small number
of archeological sites date from these early times when sea
levels were much lower
and Northern Australia was joined by Landbridge
to present day Southern New Guinea and Eastern Indonesia,
and people and animals were able
to walk at various times across the
Tasmania from the mainland.
This mega continent known as Sahu
was 30% larger than Australia is today.
One of these early archeological sites was at the now Dry
Lake MGO in Western New South Wales.
Here in 1968 Earth,
Jim Bola uncovered the cremated remains
of an aboriginal woman in an eroding dune close
to the shoreline of the lake.
In 1974, the ancient remains of a man were found nearby.
Both of these remains now called Mgo Lady
and MGO man were found to date back
to staggering 40,000 years,
thus doubling scientific estimates of
how long aboriginal people had lived in Australia.
The amazing discoveries at Lake Mgo reveal
that Aboriginal history stretched back at times so remote
that the only humans in Europe when Neanderthals
and people had not yet reached America.
By about 70,000 years ago, modern humans,
homo sapiens began moving into Southeast Asia
where they would probably have encountered existing groups
of archaic humans like Homoerectus Homo Florensis
often referred to as the hobbits
and possibly also the mysterious Dennis Os.
In May, 2021, it was announced that researchers had
to use supercomputers
to simulate 125 billion possible travel routes
and reconstruct the most likely super highways.
The first humans to arrive in Australia used
to navigate across this new land more than 65,000 years ago.
The international team of scientists
who undertook the research was led
by researchers from the Australian Research Council Center
of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity
and Heritage Kabar,
and recently revealed some of their methods to the press.
They said, we think people navigated in new territories much
as people do today
by focusing on prominent land features protruding
above the relative flatness of the Australian continent.
To map these features,
we built the most complete digital elevation model
for sahu ever constructed, including areas now underwater.
We used this digital elevation model to understand
what was visible to early travelers,
essentially from each point in the continent.
We asked what can you see from here?
This moving window calculates the largest view shed
map ever created.
When our virtual travelers move,
they reorient based on visible terrain everywhere they
go for their work.
The researchers created an imaginary traveler,
a 25-year-old woman carrying 10 kilograms of supplies
to traverse the landscape.
They collected all the various pieces
of data they accumulated into a mega model known
as from everywhere to everywhere fate,
and created over 125 billion possible pathways from every
spot on the continent to everywhere else.
Each route represented the easiest way
to move from one location to another.
Obviously, the researchers could not possibly examine every
path of the 125 billion pathways that they had created,
so they reduced the number
by comparing all plausible pathways with the distribution
of the oldest known archeological sites on the ancient
continent providing weighted possibilities for each path.
This work produced a scale
of pathways going from the most likely
to the least likely chosen paths.
The most likely pathways in the map above are
what the research has called the superhighways
of the first indigenous populations on the continent.
The team's conclusion drawn from their computer generated
maps is that the early populations spread across the now
submerged wide plains on the western
and eastern margins of the continent
and through to the region that now forms the Gulf
of Carpentaria,
the large shallow sea which now connects
Australia to New Guinea.
The nagging question of whether there was evidence
that anyone had actually used these computer identified
highways in the remote past was soon answered
by their research.
A large number of archeological sites in Australia known
to be at least 35,000 years old were located on
or near these superhighways,
and many tracks also coincided
with ancient trade routes known from the oral histories
of the indigenous people or agreed with genetic
and linguistic studies used to trace early human migrations,
but these superhighways may well have been much more than
roots used for the initial peeing of Saul.
A number of these super identified
by the research team follow well-known aboriginal trade
routes which cross the country.
These include the route from Cape York
to South Australia via Birdsville used by traders
of Peturi native tobacco
and the trade of Kimberley Baylor Shell into
central Australia.
There are also obvious similarities
between the researchers' map of ancient highways
and the most common trading
and stock routes used by early Europeans,
which is not surprising
as they followed established routes long used
by the aboriginal peoples.
The researchers' groundbreaking work on the Superhighways
has impressed the archeological community archeologist Kyle
Bachinski of the University of Montana.
Ms. Ula said this is a really compelling illustration
of the power of using these simulation techniques at a huge
continental scale.
To understand how people navigate landscapes,
its impressive extreme computing.
One intriguing aspect of this new research is
that it has revealed major roots
that cut across several dry areas in Australia's center
and in the northeastern state of Queensland.
The existence of paths in such locations would appear
to challenge the long held view
that the earliest people on the continent
avoided the deserts.
Kabar deputy director,
distinguished professor Sean Umm from James Cook University
commented on the importance
of the research team's work in revealing the significance
of landscape to the native inhabitants of the continent.
He said, Australia is not only the driest,
but also the flattest populated continent on earth.
Our research shows that prominent landscape features
and water sources were critical for people to navigate
and survive on the continent.
In many aboriginal societies,
landscape features are believed to being created
by ancestral beings during the dreaming.
Every ridge line, hill river, beach
and water source is named storied
and inscribed into the very fabric
of societies emphasizing the intimate relationship
between people and place.
The landscape is literally woven into people's
lives and their histories.
It seems that these relationships
between people in the country probably date back
to the earliest people of the continent.
This quote brings in a question of a connection
between these newly revealed superhighways
and aboriginal dreaming tracks to the aborigines.
A dreaming track or songline as it is also known,
is a route taken
by ancestral heroes in the dream time in which all
aboriginal culture has its roots and
before, which in their minds the earth did not exist.
As with the ancient super highways,
these mostly invisible paths
or tracks usually connect aboriginal sacred sites in the
dream time, groups
of ancestral beings journeyed across the land,
performing mighty deeds and creating living species
and features of the desert landscape.
The adventure of these ancestors also referred to
as totemic ancestors are chronicled in sacred songs, stories
and rituals.
These totemic ancestors also establish the rules
of aboriginal religion, law, moral systems, and social life.
In the mind of the Aborigines dream, time is a true record
of how the landscape was formed,
a landscape which is still inhabited by the spirits
of their ancestor beings.
By reenacting the myths in the dream time in song story
and ceremony, the Aborigines keep their ancestors rules
believe some relationships with the landscape alive,
the massive rock form
of heir's rock Uluru in the local Angu language is an
isolated sandstone outcrop rising 1,140 feet
above the red desert plain in the northern territory
of central Australia, 208 miles southwest of Alice Springs.
This sacred place is seen by the Anangu as a living record
of the dream time activities of their ancestors
and the appearance and origin of every feature
of the giant rock is present on the mental map carried
around by the Anangu people of the area.
One reason why the local Anangu population refer tourists
not to climb the rock is that the hiking path crosses one
of the many traditional dreaming tracks on the site.
Hopefully future work on possible connections
between these fascinating super highways
and aboriginal dreaming tracks might reveal important
insights into the spiritual nature of both.
During the drought which resulted from the unusually hot
summer of 2019, the shoreline
of the Tanus River in central Spain receded revealing a
6,000 year old circular monument in the middle
of the Val Decans reservoir known as the Dolman
of Guap.
This megalithic monument consists
of more than a hundred standing granite stones, some up
to six feet tall, arranged in an 85 foot diameter circle.
Some researchers believe that one
of the stones in the monument has
what may be the world's oldest map carved on it,
but who built it and what was it used for?
The discovery of the monument in 1963,
a megalithic monument known as the domen of qual peral,
which stood on the banks of the Tegu River,
disappeared under the water
of the newly constructed reservoir, northeast
of Extremadura, a region
of western Spain bordering Portugal on its western side.
After the construction only the tips
of the largest megaliths were occasionally visible
above the waterline.
Surprisingly, there seems to be no outcry at the submergence
of this ancient monument, certainly nowhere near the level
of the reaction of archeologists, historians
and the public if the government planned
to do something similar today,
but the dolman of Guadal Peral is far from being the only
ancient monument in Spain,
which has become submerged over the last few decades.
Spanish archeologist Priva Bueno Ramirez commented
that you couldn't believe how many authentic archeological
and historic gems are submerged under Spain's manmade lakes.
Enrique Carillo Za,
a researcher from the Spanish National Research Council
added We know Dolman submerged in reservoirs in other points
of the Tegu such as Gu Ansil,
a few kilometers downstream from the Guadal Peral in 2019.
It was revealed in the media
that Spain's extremely dry summer had caused the waters
of Val Decans reservoir to recede, uncovering the dolman,
which had largely been forgotten about by local inhabitants.
Angel Castano, resident of a nearby village
and president of a local history
and cultural society said of the discovery.
All my life people have told me about the Dolman.
I'd seen parts of it peeking out from the water before,
but this is the first time I've seen it in full.
It's spectacular because you can appreciate the
entire complex.
For the first time in decades,
we grew up hearing about the legend of the treasure hidden
beneath the lake, and now we can finally get to view them.
There certainly may have been treasures buried
beneath the stones once upon a time,
but for us now, the treasure are the stones themselves.
Unfortunately, the submergence in water for
so long has damaged parts of the monument.
The engravings on one
of the poorest granite stones have eroded other show signs
of erosion to and have fallen over
or already beginning to split.
The dalman had first been excavated between 1925
and 1927 by German archeologist Hugo Obermeyer,
but it wasn't until four decades later
that Obermeyer report on his excavations
of the ancient structure was finally published.
The excavations also uncovered artifacts thought
to have been used by the builders of the monument,
which suggested that they had lived nearby
during its construction.
The site would've been created over thousands
of years using granite transported from kilometers away
like stone hege.
The mega list formed a sun temple and burial ground.
They seemed to have religious
but also economic purpose being at one of the few points
of the river where it was possible to cross,
so it was a sort of trading hub.
The dalman of the Gu peral consists
of about 140 granite boulders, the highest
of which reached 6.6 feet in height,
arranged in an 80 foot five diameter concentric circle.
Archeologists believe like castano
that the monument was probably used as both a temple
and a between 4,020 500 BC
at an early stage in its development, the monument consisted
of toll upright stones known as meas, which were topped
by horizontal slabs of stone.
To form an enclosed single chamber tomb known as a dolman,
an engraved mere stood at the structure's entrance,
an ancient map, the engraved stone at the entrance
of the dalman of Gudo Paral has become the source
of much controversy in recent months.
The stone bears an engraving of a human figure on one side
and on the other, a wavy symbol which could represent a
snake or perhaps the nearby Tuss River.
Angar. Castano believes the winding line on the stone
represents what would've been the world's first map.
He believes that the curves may correspond to the meanders
of the Tuss river
and may have been used as a guide to navigate it.
The Tuss River is the longest river on the Iberian peninsula
flowing 626 miles generally in a western direction
up until the Roman period, it's believed that the area
where the dolman of Gu Paal is located was the only natural
Ford on the river.
Hence, its vital importance.
Indeed, the presence of numerous ancient remains in the area
testifies to this importance.
The ancient Roman city of August Riga stood here,
but like the dalman of Guana Peral was submerged
by water in the early 1960s when the Val de Kashia
reservoir was built.
Other extra Mada Ds the region
of extra madora possesses many other prehistoric monuments
including Dolmans, extremely similar in design to
that at Gudo Paral.
Indeed, there are 41 examples in a small area
around the towns of Valencia Di Kant
and San Vicente Kant in Western, extra madora close
to the Portuguese border.
Indeed, it contains the largest collection
of DO mens in the Iberian peninsula.
33 of these monuments are constructed in granite while eight
were made using slate.
The dome de Zo is located in the village
of Senya Dal Brega in the province of CRE in Spain.
It's one of the only do mens in extra Mada
where the chamber is still covered
by its original overhanging capstone.
The granite slab doman has an oval chamber
and consists of eight supporting stones, some
of which are unfortunately broken, but prehistoric do.
Mens are not confined to the Iberian Peninsula.
They're found in a variety of places throughout the world.
The highest concentration of DO mens is in northwest Europe,
especially in Britain, France, Southwestern Scandinavia,
Britain, Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
They're also known from parts of Africa and Asia.
The DO mens of Northwest Europe were built in the early
Neolithic period, which began in Britain about 5,000 BC
and in Britain, Ireland
and southern Scandinavia about 4,000 bc.
The Breon word Doman was originally used
to describe a variety
of megalithic monuments all over the world, but
although there is considerable diversity in the monument
types, they're nevertheless share many common
characteristics.
Old dolmans consist of a large capstone
or capstones supported by a number
of smaller upright stones.
This arrangement of stones creates an enclosed chamber area.
Excavations have shown that the majority
of do mens were used for the burial of the dead.
In some of these monuments, the remains
of numerous people were discovered mixed together in a
communal deposit.
Archeologists believe these collections
of bones may represent ancestral remains
and that do mens, were not only burial sites,
but also primitive temples
where the ancestors may have been venerated.
One of the most puzzling aspects
of the do mens is the massive size of the stones,
particularly the capstone
or capstones used to construct them.
For some reason, the builders chose the largest
and heaviest stones they could find the majority
of which they dressed and shaped
before putting them in place.
How and why they did this is still a perplexing mystery
to archeologists.
Unfortunately, the future of the doorman
of Guda Paral is still uncertain.
Castano has organized a group of concerned local residents
who are campaigning to have the stone monument moved
to a site on dry land before the waters rise again,
and they are lost for who knows how long,
and perhaps damage beyond repair.
Castano explained if we miss the chance, it could be years
before they are revealed again,
and the stones, which are granite and
therefore porous, are already showing signs
of erosion and cracking.
So if we don't act now, it will be too late.
It isn't a difficult thing to move them.
We have machinery now to do that.
Let's just hope that there is the political will
to save them while we can.
Castano and his group created an online petition
to save the monument, which obtained over 44,000 signatures.
However, the Spanish ministries of culture and sport
and ecological transition along
with a team from the university of extra madura decided
that the transportation
of the megaliths would damage the doman.
So the doman of Guap Al remains where it is waiting
to be submerged once again beneath the waters
of the Val de Kenyas reservoir.
