Sometimes archaeologists find artifacts so mind-blowing they seem like evidence of lost civilizations or alien visitors. Which ones are misinterpretations or hoaxes, and which are the real thing?

What we do know is that we have lost civilizations and lost technologies that we have no explanations with which to say what went on, and by whom. One such device is the Antikythera mechanism.

In 1900, some divers found the wreck of a Roman vessel off the Greek island of Antikythera. Among the other treasures remanded to the Greek government was an unassuming corroded lump. Sometime later, the lump fell apart, revealing a damaged machine of unknown purpose, with some large gears and many smaller cogs, plus a few engraved words in Greek. Early studies suggested it was some type of astronomical time-keeping device – researcher Derek J. de Solla Price laid the groundwork by establishing initial tooth counts and suggesting that the device followed the Metonic cycle, a 235-month pattern commonly used to predict eclipses in the ancient world.

How did they know that?

Is this something the Nephilim brought to us? The Nephilim are beings mentioned twice in the Hebrew Bible; in Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33. Were they just one of many visitations that we’ve had here on planet earth in the past and more importantly, are we about to see new and major visitations as we get closer to December 21, 2012?

Reliable evidence of startlingly advanced ancient technology is few and far between. The Antikythera Mechanism though is the crown jewel of astonishing artifacts. Beyond that, discoveries of ancient tech become a mixed bag. What’s not a mixed bag here on planet earth and in the third dimensional realm?

The full function and beauty of the Antikythera device remained hidden until recent studies  subjected it to more advanced imaging techniques. X-ray imaging has been used to create full 3-D computer models of the mechanism, which revealed for the first time some of the more complex and detailed gear interactions. The Greek National Archaeological Museum’s discovery of some boxes filled with 82 additional mechanism fragments added new information as well.

It is estimated that is was probably built around 150 B.C.

The Antikythera mechanism can perform a number of functions just by turning a crank on the side. Using nothing but an ingenious system of gears, the mechanism could be used to predict the month, day and hour of an eclipse, and even accounted for leap years. It could also predict the positions of the sun and moon against the zodiac, and has a gear train that turns a black and white stone to show the moon’s phase on a given date. It is possible that it could also show the astronomical positions of the planets known to the ancients: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Who knew what and when? Maybe if our government would quit covering up things like UFO data, details of what’s really at hangar 51, and etc. we might know the truth. Then we would have to ask ourselves, can we HANDLE THE TRUTH?

I’d like to find that out!

It’s been almost seventy five days since I did any posting on this web site.

I backed off because of what I SAW coming in the last half of 2010. So, in my June 6th “temporary sign off”, I made my focus (natural and spiritual) the last six months of 2010. In other words as they say in “triage”, let’s deal with the most critical things first.  I have done that mentally and spiritually so now it is time to move on and join the 2010-2012 pictures.

Let me review what I see from today until the end of 2010 which will be a base for 2012.

1-We’re entering the active part of the 11 year sun cycle.

2-The solar system is being altered for whatever reasons thus our planet will be.

3-We’re seeing and will continue to see very abnormal weather patterns

4-Droughts, floods, and extreme temperature reading will dominate.

5-Is HAARP messing with us- are WE messing with US?

6-A social revolution mentality is building in America

7-A financial collapse of the US$ and other currencies is underway

8-War is an increasingly dangerous possibility (on several fronts).

In other words, there’s a combination of human egoic patterns that are intensifying at the same time that galactic abnormalities are getting underway. Is this an inevitable situation, one spoken of by the Mayans and ancient cultures, or can we change life of planet earth.

One thing seems certain to me and that is that unless humanhood changes its belief structures (and religion isn’t helping), we’re on the way to a very bad outcome, a very dangerous future to say the least. The fat lady isn’t singing, the jury is still out, but the clock is about to strike midnight.

The Harmonic Convergence of August 16-17, in 1987 was a New Age astrological term applied to a unique planetary alignment. The timing of the Harmonic Convergence allegedly correlated with the Maya calendar. The chosen dates have the distinction of allegedly marking a planetary alignment with the Sun, Moon and six out of eight planets being part of the “grand trine”. One of the principal organizers of the Harmonic Convergence event was José Argüelles.

According to Argüelles’ interpretation of Mayan cosmology, the selected date marked the end of twenty-two cycles of 52 years each, or 1,144 years in all. The twenty-two cycles were divided into thirteen “heaven” cycles, which began in AD 843 and ended in 1519, when the nine “hell” cycles began, ending 468 years later in 1987.While that may seem like Greek to many, the coming Conscious Convergence may not.

While most are fixated on December 21, 2012, Carl Johan Calleman thinks the right date is October 28, 2011.

Carl writes, “Over the time period since the Harmonic Convergence an increasing number of people have come to directly experience states of unity with all things and a purposeful direction in their own lives. Yet, although sometimes such experiences may have been enlightening or blissful, they have not come to alter the way our world at large operates.” According to Calleman, that may all change come July 17-18, 2010.

Why would 2010 be different than 1987?

Three Mayan elders, Don Alejandro Oxlaj, Don Rigoberto Itzep and Hunbatz Men, have pledged to participate in the Conscious Convergence, July 17-18, 2010 through performing ceremonies on these dates. The three elders are among the most respected and well-known representatives of the Mayan people yet having somewhat different roles in this tradition. Do these three men hold any power or sway over the collective consciousness of the planet?

We shall soon see!

That there is a shift in consciousness I have no doubt. Regardless of the many dates that have been stated as important, what’s more real for me is the “season” that we’ve entered. Are we crossing the Galactic plane, entering a powerful photon belt, or just arriving at the appointed time? Whatever it IS, it IS BIG and it will transform the earth and the inhabitants of this third rock from the sun forever. Time will tell, but we are now in the proverbial “cat-bird seat, and you WILL SEE IT COMING!
