A recent fast radio burst calls into question what astronomers believed they knew

Astronomer Calvin Leung was excited last summer to crunch data from a newly commissioned radio telescope to precisely pinpoint the origin of repeated bursts of intense radio waves—so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs)—emanating from somewhere in the northern constellation Ursa Minor.

The Dorchester Pot: Originating from the 593 million year old Roxbury Conglomerate

It is an artifact that few have heard of, maybe because its convenient for you to be unfamiliar with such items. The Dorchester pot is a small bell-shaped vase with a small opening at its top. The measurements of the pot are about 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) high, 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) in diameter at the base and 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) in diameter at the top. The small vase is made entirely of zinc and was decorated with silver inlay, you can see six floral ornaments on its side and a kind of vine or crown on the bottom. The decorative work and perfect manufacturing of Dorchester vase denote its creator was a master craftsman in the molding of this metal.

This incredible pot was excavated in two pieces after an explosion was used to break up rock at Meeting House Hill, in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1852.

The age of the pot is the number one discussion among experts as it appears that no one can agree on how old it exactly is. According to geologists, the Roxbury Conglomerate, where this mysterious pot originated from, has been dated as having accumulated between 570 and 593 million years ago during the Ediacaran Period. Does this make it between 570 and 600 million years old? According to several researchers it is a possibility. In principle, it is not too clear if the pot was really “embedded” within the rock since the explosion was the cause of its discovery.

According to many ancient alien theorists the Dorchester Pot is evidence supporting the theory of the “presence of artistic metal workers in North America over 600 million years ago. These claims would place the Dorchester pot as being one of the members of million year old artifacts discovered worldwide. Other researchers believe that the Dorchester Pot had been manufactured by an ancient civilization that predated the Noachian Flood.

It is very interesting that several botanists believe that the plant species that appear on the Dorchester pot disappeared from our Planet thousands of years ago. According to some, it is believed that the Dorchester pot was dated as being at least 100,000 years old, but the pot and all of the documentation that accompanied it, for previous studies have disappeared mysteriously.

The first and almost unique historical background to the Dorchester pot is dated June 5th 1852, from the publication of the magazine Scientific American. The mysterious pot is also discussed on page 46 of the 1985 Reader’s Digest Association book called Mysteries of the Unexplained.

It is difficult to try to explain the real origin of the Dorchester Pot since the artifact went missing without a trace. Whether this artifact belongs to a million year old civilization, or if it actually does depict plant species that disappeared from Earth thousands of years ago is a mystery, that will not be resolved unless the mysterious object is returned from its hiding place.

Lake Titicaca and the Anunnaki

The Anunanki are considered by many as the “founding fathers” of civilization and mankind, the cradle of civilization is considered to be in Sumer. Some archaeologists even suggest that the anunnaki have a very important history with south America and the Pre-Inca and Inca civilization. (Remember the Fuente Magna Bowl?) Modern-day archaeology does not agree with these theories even though there is plenty of evidence. Newly found discoveries such as the pyramid that has been located buried underneath Tiahuanaco provides new theories regarding this ancient culture. These new theories, together with the sum of research for over a hundred years provides new insight into the connection between the Anunnaki Gods and South American deities.

Lake Titicaca has a very special place in all of this. In the past, over two thousand archaeological pieces have been rescued from the depths of Lake Titicaca. Most of the pieces were recovered by Belgian underwater archaeologists with the support of the Andean Underwater Archaeology Centre (CASA), yet archaeology today, seems to ignore these findings as if they hold no importance.

The incredible artifacts recovered among their collection include bones, statues, golden pieces, precious stones and ceramics. The extensive history of these artifacts holds a great importance as some of the pieces have been dated to the Inca period, others to the pre-Inca period and a few artifacts have even been dated to the year 500 AD.

According to historians and archaeologists, several of the pieces that have been recovered are actually offerings that the ancient inhabitants of the Tiahuanaco culture threw into Lake Titicaca, which in ancient times was considered a sacred lake. Among these “speculations”, ancient alien theorists believe that there are very important clues that have been overlooked by mainstream archaeologists, clues that point toward a very powerful link between the ancient cultures of the region and the Ancient Anunnaki. The golden artifacts hold a very important clue, and the thirty pieces of gold discovered at the bottom of Lake Titicaca point toward the ancient alien theory and Zecharia Sitchin.

According toSitchin, around 4000 BC, Enki, one of the leaders of the mining operations of theAnunnaki on Earth, decided to invite his father, King Anu to visit the world’s most important metallurgical plant, Tiahuanaco. According to several ancient alien theorists, among themSithcin, the structures at Tiahuanaco were covered with golden plates, this in honor of the arrival of King Anu. Evidence for this theory is based on the findings of Austrian archaeologist Arthur Posnansky who found and photographed several small holes in the polished stone blocks Tiahuanaco, these holes, are believed to have been made by advanced precision tools.

Puma punku high precision

Posnansky doesn’t sound familiar? Well, that’s because mainstream archaeology has placed him as being only an “amateur archaeologists” even though his findings and work at Tiahuanaco and south America have achievements that are incalculable for history. Posnansky founded the Archaeological Society of Bolivia in 1930. Even though Tiahuanaco hasn’t been the place where great amounts of gold have been found, researchers believe that most of the golden items are hidden below the harsh terrain of the region and at the depths of Lake Titicaca where pieces of gold have already been discovered.

According Posnansky, at some point in its history, the incredible city of Tiahuanaco was covered with golden plates which were fastened with small gold studs that fit perfectly into the holes in the stone. Posnansky suggested that these precisely drilled holes were not placed there for decorative purposes but rather had a mechanical meaning. Recent discoveries seem to back the ancient alien they more than ever, and researchers expect that with the new excavations that are planned for mid 2015, new evidence will surface, meaning that mainstream archaeologists will have to change their approach on Tiahuanaco and its ancient history.

The mysteries about Tiahuanaco and Lake Titicaca are great, and with new discoveries being made in recent months, archaeologists hope to uncover all the secrets this mysterious region holds.

History changer: Researchers discover buried Pyramid at Tiahuanaco

The Government of Bolivia has announced the discovery of a unknown pyramid and the beginning of excavations at the ancient citadel of Tiahuanaco, after Ground penetrating radar tests discovered the pyramidal structure together with other “numerous anomalies” underground. Researchers believe that these anomalies might be monoliths, but this information has yet to be corroborated and analyzed carefully to come to a conclusion.

This finding has raised the importance of Tiahuanaco and the surrounding area as these discoveries to add to the mysterious history of both Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku, considered by some to be the result of a highly advanced ancient civilization.

According to Ludwig Cayo, the director of the Center for Archaeological Research at Tiahuanaco, this mysterious pyramid is located in the Kantatallita area, east of the Akapana pyramid, which is at the archeological site of Tiwanaku,to the west of the country and about 70 km from the city of La Paz.

Researchers are still analyzing the gathered information, and calculations regarding the dimensions of the buried pyramid are underway, but according to simulated data and aerial photographs, the formation would be around the same size as the  Kalasasaya Temple or Temple of the standing stones, one of the most remarkable constructions of Tiahuanaco.

Tiahuanaco is one of the most mysterious places on planet Earth, it is considered as being the cradle of an ancient civilization before the Incas.  Tiahuanaco was the capital of ancient pre-Hispanic empire, today imposing stone monuments like Kalasasaya, the Semi-Subterranean Temple, sculptures of gods, the door of the sun and remains of military and civilian palaces remain. Some of these structures have incredible features which archaeologists have not fully explained. According to Bolivian researchers, Tiahuanaco was founded as a small village around 1580 BC but soon grew to become an imperial state around AD 724.

This ancient civilization mysteriously declined around 1187 AD. Researchers believe that Tiahuanaco was an incredible empire whose limits knew no bounds, occupying parts of the Peruvian coast, northern Chile, northwestern Argentina and bolivia what was thought to be a territory of around 600.000 square kilometers. Some researchers have suggested that Tiahuanaco might be the city belonging to Atlantis. Many researchers have placed the lost city and “continent” of Atlantis in Bolivia. The mysterious structures, history and society of Tiahuanaco would certainly fit into these theories. Some researchers consider that Tiahuanaco might be over 10.000 years old.

Researchers hope that excavations at the site will commence in May, although that will depend on the cooperation agreements signed with foreign universities and institutes which will provide the necessary manpower and technology to perform the excavations the best way they can.
