In brief: Egyptian scientists who analyzed the mummies found inside have managed to establish the stature, sex, and age of the mummies covered in the so-called ‘mummy juice’. Curiously, more than 25 thousand people had signed a petition for drinking the juice that remained in the sarcophagus for thousands of years.

The Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities has released new details about the giant black granite sarcophagus discovered in Alexandria, Egypt. According to the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, the skeletons found inside the mysterious sarcophagus unearthed in July and opened despite ‘all warnings’ about alleged ancient curses it might unleash.

The enigmatic sarcophagus is considered the ‘largest’ granite sarcophagus ever discovered in Alexandria measuring 185 centimeters tall (6ft), 265 centimeters long (8.6ft), and 165 centimeters wide (5.4 ft.)
Experts say that the ominous sarcophagus remained buried for more than two thousand years 16 feet beneath the surface.
According to reports, the skeletons from the skeleton have been studied by a team of scientists from the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry, who have managed to determine the mummies age, gender, as well as many other details.
The results of the research were published on the Antiquities Ministry’s Facebook page:
According to Dr. Nadia Kheider, Head of the Central Department of Antiquities of Lower Egypt, the first skeleton belongs to a woman between the age of 20 to 25 years old, with a height around 160 to 164 cm.
The second one belongs to a man between the age of 35 to 39 years old, with a height ranging between 160 to 165.5 cm while the third skeleton is for a man between the age of 40 and 44 years old and its height was between 179 to 184.5 cm
Interestingly, experts have also recovered Small gold plates among the bones, measuring 5cm by 3cm (about 2in by 1in). Experts say that the plates feature delicate artwork and most likely were used to represent military ranks. The plates are being studied in detail by experts.
In addition, researchers from the Ministry of Antiquities also discovered a hole in one of the man’s skulls. The hole, experts say, was not what caused the man’s death, but is evidence of head surgery, better known as Trepanation.
“This surgery is the oldest surgical intervention ever known since pre-history but was rare in Egypt,” Dr. Zeinab Hashish, the head of the researchers’ team, said.
Interestingly, only a few skulls from ancient Egypt were found to have undergone the procedure, making this find an extremely important one.
The research on the mummies is not over.
Soon, experts will be carrying out new studies on the bones, including DNA analysis and CT scans, to determine whether they were members of a single family.
In regard to the dark, icky mummy juice found inside the sarcophagus, experts have now confirmed it is, in fact, sewage water, tinted by the corpses’ decayed wrappings.
According to a number of authors, the former US President Dwight Eisenhower allegedly signed in 1954, a secret agreement with an extraterrestrial civilization that had visited Earth.
The entire story starts with President Harry Truman passing on the oval office to the reins of Dwight. D. Eisenhower in 1953. Along with the oval office, apparently, Truman gave Eisenhower a hefty file concerning top-secret, top classified files about a project called Majestic 12 that former president Harry Truman had established by Classified Executive order.
Majestic 12 is the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. PresidentHarry S. Trumanto facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft.
It is noteworthy to mention that among all presidents of the United States, it is perhaps President Eisenhower who was most passionate and interested about Unidentified Flying Objects and Alien Life.
In fact, there is ample ‘evidence’ that suggests President Eisenhower met with alien beings at least three times.
One such secret meeting is said to have taken place at Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) in California, and twice at the Holloman AFB in New Mexico.
After the meetings in New Mexico, the number of UFO sightings allegedly doubled in the region.
So, let’s take a look at the meeting that took place allegedly in 1954 at the Edwards Air Force Base.
President Eisenhower firmly believed there was life elsewhere in the universe. The five-star Army general spent several days in Palm Springs on Vacation, in February of 1954. One Saturday afternoon, it was reported that the Former US President had disappeared for several hours, and even missed a public dinner that day. Eisenhower would not be seen until later the following morning.
Obviously, the press inquired about the president’s whereabouts. The White House Press Secretary had told the press he had chipped a tooth while eating fried chicken, and that the president had visited a dentist. Washington Post Staff Writer, Peter Carlson, denies the story of the chipped tooth and calls it a cover-up.
Curiously, despite the fact that the white house had sold the press the dentist trip story, there is no reference of a broken or chipped tooth, nor a dentist visit in Palm Springs at the Eisenhower Presidential Library, which features detailed reports of the former presidents medical and dental records.
UFO hunters turn towards William Cooper as evidnece. He was on the Naval Intelligence briefing team and had total access to classified documents. According to his review of the classified files, alien civilizations were in contact with Earth.
The first meeting allegedly took place between Eisenhower and two Nordic appearing, blue-eyed ETs. Despite the fact that the alleged discussions were done in a polite manner, no agreement was reached. The Aliens supposedly wanted humans to stop nuclear testing, but we didn’t want to give it up.
As no agreement was reached, both parties parted ways. However, the alleged aliens visited earth the following year to the Holloman AFB in New Mexico, not far away from the (in)famous Roswell alien aircraft crash site, for a subsequent meeting with Eisenhower.
I have just returned from Muroc [Edwards Air Force Base]. The report is true — devastatingly true! I made the journey in company with Franklin Allen of the Hearst papers and Edwin Nourse of Brookings Institute (Truman’s erstwhile financial advisor) and Bishop MacIntyre of L.A. (confidential names for the present, please).
When we were allowed to enter the restricted section (after about six hours in which we were checked on every possible item, event, incident and aspect of our personal and public lives), I had the distinct feeling that the world had come to an end with fantastic realism. For I have never seen so many human beings in a state of complete collapse and confusion, as they realized that their own world had indeed ended with such finality as to beggar description.
The reality of the ‘other plane’ aeroforms is now and forever removed from the realms of speculation and made a rather painful part of the consciousness of every responsible scientific and political group.
During my two days’ visit, I saw five separate and distinct types of aircraft being studied and handled by our Air Force officials — with the assistance and permission of the Etherians!
I have no words to express my reactions. It has finally happened. It is now a matter of history. President Eisenhower, as you may already know, was spirited over to Muroc one night during his visit to Palm Springs recently. And it is my conviction that he will ignore the terrific conflict between the various ‘authorities’ and go directly to the people via radio and television – if the impasse continues much longer.
From what I could gather, an official statement to the country is being prepared for delivery about the middle of May.”
There are numerous eyewitness reports of the second meeting that had occurred between Eisenhower and ET’s at the Holloman Airforce Base in New Mexico, located some 120 miles from the infamous Roswell alien crash.
It is reported that in February of 1955, hundreds of people witnessed Air Force One Land at the Holloman AFB. Eisenhower met with the aliens inside a saucer-shaped craft, where he remained for about 45 minutes.
Some UFO researchers claim that eventually, Eisenhower went on and signed a treaty with the Gray Aliens and the terms of the treaty were as follows:
We would not be involved in their affairs and they would not become involved in ours
They would help us with developing our technology
They would not make a treaty with any other nation on Earth
They could abduct humans for various experiments, but had to provide names of all those they abducted to Earth’s Majestic 12 committee
The public would not be informed about the existence of ETs.
Curiously, the fabled Project Blue Book, the Air Force’s files on UFO sightings and investigations includes a 1950 incident at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, N.M., where an Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent reported seeing a star-like craft that amazingly shifted from a bright white color to red and green as it moved erratically in several directions.
But the UFO Phenomena is a global phenomenon and a number of governments are aware of ‘their’ presence, argue UFO researchers.
According to classified documents released by the Ministry of Defence in 2010, Winston Churchill may have ordered a UFO sighting to be kept a secret. The supposed UFO was seen flying over the East Coast of England by an RAF reconnaissance plane that was returning from a mission in France or Germany towards the end of the war. Churchill is said to have discussed how to deal with UFO sightings with Eisenhower.
Is this story the result of an actual government-alien coverup?
Most UFO researchers would agree that there may have been a time when UFO cover-ups were beneficial for the safety of our society. But, in modern times, things are different. Countless reports of UFO sightings and Alien visitations have been made public. In addition to that, a number of previously classified documents related to alien life have surfaced and are available to the general public.

Most of us have probably heard the term of El Dorado, or the famous Golden City said to exist somewhere in South America.
But how much do we know about it, and what exactly is El Dorado? Is it a city? An empire? A continent? Does it even exist?
To understand it, we must travel back in time to Spanish Colonial times.
The King used to cover his body in gold dust, and from his raft, he offered treasures to the Guatavita goddess in the middle of the sacred lake. This old Muisca tradition became the origin of the legend of El Dorado. This Muisca raft figure is on display in the Gold Museum, Bogotá, Colombia. Image Credit: Wikimedia Commons. CC BY-SA 1.0
In this article, I’ve summed-up 25 of the most interesting details you should know about El Dorado.
El Dorado in Spanish means The Golden One. The Legend of the City of El Dorado can be traced back to a single man initially. And not an entire city as we’ve been led to believe.
The earliest reference to the name of El Dorado can be traced back to the 1500’s.
Originally, ‘El Dorado’ was, in fact, El Hombre Dorado, or the Golden Man—The Golden King.
This was the term used by Spanish Conquistadores to describe an alleged Tribal Chief—A Yipa—belonging to the Muisca people in modern-day Colombia.
The Muisca civilization is thought to have been as advanced as the Aztec, Maya, and Inca civilizations.
Chiminichagua was the supreme being creator of the universe according to Muisca tradition.
As an initiation rite, this ruler covered himself in Gold dust and submerged himself in Lake Guatavita.
In the Muisca territories, there are many natural locations considered extremely sacred. These locations include lakes, rivers, forests and large rocks. People gathered here to perform rituals and sacrifices mostly with gold and precious stones. This is why many people believe that these natural formations that once belonged to the Muisca are filled with incalculable riches.
However, and as we’ve probably seen by now, everything changes over time, and so did the myth behind El Dorado.
The Legend morphed from a man into a golden city, to a kingdom, and finally to a Golden Empire which was so wealthy that everything was covered in gold.
After Spanish Conquistadores arrived in the American Continent, it was a well-known fact that the empires of the region, including Maya, Inca, Aztecs, etc., had in their possession great amounts of gold.
The resulting El Dorado myth lured European explorers and treasure hunters for more than two centuries.
Rumors, myths, stories and legends fueled the interest of explorers and archeological expeditions.
In the 1500’s, people ventured out searching for a city called Manoa, which was another name used to refer to El Dorado. This city was located on the shores of a legendary lake in South America called Lake Parime.
Repeated tries to discover Lake Parime failed to confirm its existence until it was eventually rejected as a myth.
Two of the most notable expeditions to search for Manoa, aka El Dorado, were led by Sir Walter Raleigh—an English writer, poet, soldier, politician, courtier, spy, and explorer.
Another noteworthy expedition occurred between 1531 and 1538 when the German conquistadors Nikolaus Federmann and Georg von Speyer searched for El Dorado by exploring the Venezuelan lowlands, Colombian plateaus, Orinoco Basin and Llanos Orientales. As all other expeditions, they never reached El Dorado.
In 1536, Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada and his army of 800 men diverted from their original mission and set out in search for El Dorado. Their quest took them to the Muisca people. By 1538, the treasures of the Muisca people fell into the hands of the Spanish fighters.
In 1540, Gonzalo Pizarro, the younger half-brother of Francisco Pizarro received word of an immense valley filled with not only gold but cinnamon as well. Thousands of people searched for this legendary place. Eventually, Gonzalo Pizarro gave up the search after many of his explorers died. Despite this, he ordered Francisco de Orellana to continue the search. Eventually, he made it to the Atlantic Ocean without finding neither gold nor cinnamon. However, Francisco de Orellana’s expedition was credited with discovered the Amazon River—named after the female warriors who attacked them during their journey.
In 1560, Basque conquistadors Pedro de Ursúa and Lope de Aguirre journeyed down the Marañón and Amazon Rivers, in search of El Dorado
The quest for El Dorado resulted in several maps being printed showing the alleged city. This caused the legend to gain fame, making the matter worse.
People searched for El Dorado for nearly five hundred years, and despite no one ever finding any conclusive evidence of its existence, adventurers and explorers have continued searching for El Dorado in Modern Times.
