Göbekli
Tepe is a phenomenal time capsule of discovery and insight. We are
faced with an untouched, and relatively intact window into a culture that has
refused to be forgotten. Göbekli Tepe stands as a reminder that there is
grand folly in making any final determinations about who we are, how we lived and
where we came from. Göbekli Tepe also shows that there is profound arrogance to
call any prior culture, a primitive culture, by any measure or standard.
History books will need a complete rewrite as well as Wikipedia's various
citations on ancient history. Sadly some of this data is 20 years old and is
still not cited nor put in the proper context.
I have posted on this subject before: What are the most fascinating known unknowns?.
I hope to give more details on this amazing discovery with Some information that is not yet easily
available (on the internet) or otherwise Peer Reviewed published (Eg:
Beer/Bread production, Written Language/Symbols, Plant domestication). However
none of this data is unannounced or otherwise proprietary unreleased data.
Please see notes at the end of the paragraphs for more detail.
Most of this data is still being uncovered and thus will be published in Peer
Review publications when appropriate. Some of this data comes directly
from Professor Klaus Schmidt, the chief Researcher and Archeologist on site, in
updates to academics that are following his work. Professor Schmidt came
to Turkey in 1978, but it wasn't until 1994 that he felt sure enough of the
data he collected to begin to publish. Professor Schmidt is academically
quite conservative and faced the undesirable task of putting archaeology on
notice that general assumptions held very tightly were, just wrong. It took him
many years of checking and then rechecking before he would publish his
discoveries as he knew they were highly controversial. Thus it may be a
few years before we see some of what I mention here fully published and
accepted. This is an early view and have no doubts is very, very controversial.
Warning: I
have a clear bias here that I must warn the reader about. I feel very,
very strongly that academia has not given proper encomium, citation,
commendation and tribute for Professor Schmidt and his 30 years of work at
Göbekli Tepe. I feel rather strongly that this position of academia has
caused many discoveries of similar magnitude to be stunted by little to no
funding. Please forgive a bit of cheerleading for what I believe is one of the
most important discoveries in human history.
All Too Human
I must point out that one of the most difficult things about Göbekli Tepe has been the
Historians and Archaeologists that have invested so much into a paradigm of
human development, that they found it nearly impossible to accept the realities
that Göbekli Tepe presented. This has hampered progress, funding and peer
review of Göbekli Tepe. This shows how even the most empirical Researchers and
Scientists are all too human and fall prey to the fear of a rewriting of history
to a more accurate context. It is my profound hope that Göbekli Tepe
helps to change this point of view in some material way.
Here are just some of the new insights Göbekli Tepe has produced:
Earliest Organized Society Yet Discovered
Organized
society is now at least 13,000 years old and perhaps far older as there is evidence
that at least another society lead up to this site. This nearly doubles
the period that was assumed before. It was assumed prior to Göbekli Tepe, that
the Sumerians were the first Organized Society, and perhaps in some measure
this is still valid but not by every measure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civ...).
We see signs of a very high level of cooperation spanning almost 3000 years at
Göbekli Tepe. (This Data is published and not currently challenged).
Possible Earliest Written Language Yet Discovered
At
Göbekli Tepe we are confronted with what appears to be the earliest yet
discovery of a human writing. This is very early days but there appears to be
about 20 symbols in use. This in itself does not portend to a complete
language but there is promising signs in some of the most recent digs at the
site. Prior to this discovery it was assumed that it was a product of the
ancient sumerian culture in perhaps 3200 BCE. Göbekli Tepe may move this back
to at least 10,000 BCE. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...) (This Data
is published but not to the level of a determination of a complete written
language)
Earliest Use Of Advanced Tools Yet Discovered
The
neolithic period is still called the "Stone age" and at this point
the defining characteristics, stone tools and "primitive clans" needs
massive adjustment. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo...).
There is nothing 'Stone age" about this culture. Stone tools did not
carve these amazing artistic reliefs. Stone tools did not create an
almost a perfect circle through stone pillars. One can try to
debate that stone tools were used to create what we see here, but that would
have to face Occam's razor for believability. (This Data is
published however many still hold to the current view that all you see at this
site was performed with stone tools)).
Earliest Plant Domestication Yet Discovered
Plant
domestication is clear. They grew crops and perhaps irrigation systems
and cultivation systems.
Prior assumptions placed this to about 6000 BCE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agr...).
Today the closest known ancestors of modern Einkorn Wheat is found on the
slopes of Karaca Dağ, a mountain just 60 miles northeast of Göbekli Tepe.
This strain has been domesticated and dates back to about the time this site
was in peak use (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ein...)
(This Data is published in some forms, eg: the location of the first
domesticated wheat crops, however many still challenge the view early Neolithic
cultures had the insight or technology to domesticate plants. More data
should be published soon).
Possible Earliest Use Of The Wheel Yet Discovered
There
is very provocative evidence (thus far unpublished, no photo) that the people of
Göbekli Tepe used at the very least "Pull Sleds" or in a more
fantastic possibility, "Wheeled Carts". There are
"roads" that show tracks formed in what was mud and limestone that
clearly shows that this took place over 100s if not 1000s of years. Prior
to this discovery it was thought only the Sumerians processed the knowladge of
the wheel in perhaps 3000 BCE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel)
and the use of sleds in 5000 BCE. (This Data is not published and would be very
vigorously challenged).
Earliest Production Of Beer And Bread Yet Discovered
Göbekli
Tepe has the earliest discovery of bread making and the corollary to this, beer
production.
Prior to the discovery of these Beer making Vats, it was assumed that this was
first produced in what is now modern China about 5000 BCE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His...).
Here is a rather old citation at National Geographic on the discovery of Beer
Vats (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.co...). (This
Data is not yet fully published and is not currently challenged. However
it would likely be challenged once published).
Earliest Megalithic Buildings Yet Discovered
Massive
building projects on the scale seen at Göbekli Tepe were never
attributed to Neolithic people. The prior example was at Stonehenge, it
was built perhaps 6000 years later. The design, engineering, workmanship and
overral site complexity is not in the same realm as Göbekli Tepe. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg...) (This Data
is published and not currently challenged).
A Peaceful Society
Thus
far all the evidence we see at Göbekli Tepe the people lived in relative peace
for over 3000 years.
The site shows none of the signs one would expect from conflicts. This
does not 100% rule out the possibility, but thus far there is none of the
expected evidence one would expect. There have not been any human remains
discovered so we do not have this information to go by. But we also do
not see any signs that victory in battle would produce in countless other
ancient and modern cultures.
We also know this, it takes a rather sophisticated culture to build and operate
such a complex. It takes and even more forward thinking culture to
completely bury a site that was in continuous use for 3000 years and to do it
with such delicate care.
Thus far we have been convinced by most accounts that no long term organized
society existed without great battles and conquests. Prior to this discovery it
seemed most cultures could not last perhaps a few hundred years
peacefully. If this turns out to be confirmed at Göbekli Tepe we will
have a completely new insight on how a culture can thrive through what was
certainly very difficult times.
Göbekli Tepe has like every major discovery created more questions than it has
yet to answer. For example, where did everyone live? There are no
signs of human habitation thus far unearthed. Professor Schmidt has found
himself also at odds aboutthe
use of this site. He had postulated that this site was purely ceremonial
however his new findings may now change this view.
(This Data is published and is 100% conjecture as is all insights on ancient
cultures. However there is quite a bit of published evidence that
concludes a peaceful culture. This data will be very fiercely
challenged).
In Our Lifetimes...
This is just some of the grand discoveries that has been found up until this
point.
The site is not even 15% unearthed (we have unearthed 3 Circle complexes, there
are at least 20 more with other structures yet to be unearthed, some may be
older then 13,000 years). There are no doubts that there will be far more truly
world changing discoveries. And just as fascinating is the cultures that
lead up to Göbekli Tepe as it is clear there had to be a few thousand years of
evolution of culture to produce what we see here today.
All of us will stand witness, in this
generation, to discoveries that perhaps our ancient family hoped us to rediscover,
as a testament to not only what we could do, but who we really are.

Signs of Technically
Advanced Ice Age Civilization
The Bosnian Pyramid of the
Sun at Visoko.
by Paul A.
LaViolette, Ph.D.
On September
1st I flew to Sarajevo to take part in the 2014 Hidden History Tour & Conference with Dr. Sam
Osmanagich
(August 31st to September 6th). I decided to go there after
receiving an email from a friend who had just returned from a week long sojourn
to the pyramid and tunnels. She was ecstatic about her
experience and her enthusiasm infected me.
I decided to
contact the people there who were planning a week long conference and
archaeological tour in Bosnia just two weeks hence. I was fortunate
in that they were able to include me at that late date to present a
lecture at their conference. I was added to the roster of speakers just
before the conference began which is why my name is not listed in the
above linked brochure.
I was
totally amazed by what has been discovered there and of the immense volunteer
effort to further excavate this site. As I stated at the press
conference, held on the last day of the conference, I
consider this to be one of the most important archaeological
excavations going on at this time on our planet. These findings will one
day completely transform our ideas about prehistoric civilization.
You can view the press conference video here: http://vimeo.com/105483113.
It was shown on five stations in Bosnia to raise
awareness about this important archaeological find. I am seated at the table
second from the end on the right. I speak at about minute 36 -43
through the video. All views are interesting to hear. They are all
intermittently translated into Bosnian by Dr. Sam Osmanagich, the fellow
wearing the hat near the center of the press table.
Right end of the press conference table
showing Dr. Osmanagich, Valery Uvarov, and myself.
Paul LaViolette at the press conference held
September 6, 2014 in Sarajevo.
Dr. Osmanagich is the one who first discovered this pyramid
complex in 2005. He also heads the archaeological foundation
excavating the pyramid and the nearby tunnel system. He has written a
book summarizing some of the findings of their excavation which
is entitled “Pyramids Around the World and Lost Pyramids
of Bosnia“. He is quite amazing in
that he has been able to orchestrate this entire excavation project, in
spite of being shunned by many mainstream archaeologists and archaeological
societies. This project has attracted volunteers from all over the world
to help in the excavation. Some of the team come with previous experience
which makes them valuable assets.
I lectured
later that day, speaking about the gigantic ice age floods that once swept
through that region, how they covered the pyramid with flood deposits. I
also spoke a bit about galactic superwaves and about advanced science concepts
encoded in ancient constellation lore.
Lecturing later that afternoon.
Paul LaViolette gives a presentation on a possible cause of soil deposition on the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun at Hidden History Conference ICBP 2014 (5th International Scientific Conference on the Bosnian Pyramids) at Hotel Saraj in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
Other conference speakers included Semir Osmanagić, Klaus Dona, Michael Tellinger, Goran Marjanovic, Valery Uvarov, and Stephane Cave.

Below
are a few facts about the Pyramid of the Sun and a few of the other megalithic
structures in Visoko:
1)
There are about seven pyramids and tumuli that are located in relatively
close proximity to one another; i.e., within a few kilometers of
distance. The largest pyramid, which has been named the “Pyramid of the
Sun”, is the tallest pyramid in the world. It has a visible height of 220
meters and engineer Senad Bahor estimates that it could even be as
high as 360 meters, based on a 3D computer model constructed
through analysis of satellite ground imagery. The Bosnian
“Pyramid of the Moon” comes in second place with a height of 190 meters.
By comparison, the Giza pyramid, which formerly held the record as the
tallest pyramid in the world, now comes in only at third place with a height of
only 146.5 meters.
On
this trip I did not get a chance to travel to the Pyramid of the Moon, at which
site the volunteer archaeologists have also made some extremely interesting
findings. Nor did I see any of the other lesser pyramids. So as a
result, this discussion will focus more on the Pyramid of the Sun and the
tunnel system whose main entrance lies in Ravne about 3 kilometers from
the Pyramid of the Sun.
2) The
pyramid of the Sun is oriented with respect to true north with an error of
only 12 seconds of arc! This orientation is far more accurate than that
of the Giza Pyramid which has an orientation error of about 3 minutes of arc,
15 times greater! The other pyramids are
also oriented with respect to true north. The three largest pyramids, the
Pyramid of the Sun, Pyramid of the Moon, and the Pyramid of the Dragon are each
separated from one another by approximately 2.18 kilometers with an error of
less than 2 percent, to form the three apexes of a near perfect equilateral
triangle. Natural mountains simply don’t arrange themselves with this
kind of precision to form such geometric patterns.
3) This
pyramid complex is the oldest known man made structure in the
world. A radiocarbon date on a fossilized leaf found under one of
its concrete slabs indicates an age of around 33,800 calendar years before
present (~29,200 C-14 years BP); see photo below. The Cariaco Basin-Hulu
Cave radiocarbon calibration chronology requires that a correction of
~4600 years be added to the radiocarbon date to compensate for C-14 reservoir
changes.) Other radiocarbon dates back up its antiquity. This
places the pyramid’s construction in the middle of the ice age, about 6000
years after the extinction of Neanderthal man which had
occurred about 40,000 calendar years ago. Another radiocarbon
date was secured on organic material found above a concrete slab and
beneath the overlying clay deposit covering the pyramid. This indicated a
later burial date of 24,800 C-14 years BP, equivalent to 30,000
calendar years BP, which supports the earlier date for the pyramid itself.
4) The main
structure of the pyramid is constructed of a concrete made from a
gravel conglomerate that was mined from a flood conglomerate layer that
underlies the pyramid and adjacent area. Evidence of this
excavation is the existence of a vast network of many kilometers of
tunnels present in the region surrounding the pyramid. The
concrete has been laboratory tested and been determined to be of
artificial origin, not natural origin. Tests have shown that it has a
hardness and resistance to water penetration equal to the best concretes
achieved in this 21st century. Analysis showed that its
fabricators made their concrete by mixing their mined conglomerate
rock material with a special cement binder made of roasted lime and clay.
The concrete was cast to form large slabs that were
separated from one another by clay layers for greater structural
stability. Also the builders used an slab interleaving technique that
also improves structural stability. Although,
this may not evoke the aesthetic appeal of the polished stone surfaces evident
in some ancient monuments, the choice of the construction method nonetheless
evokes an appreciation of brilliance, one that allowed efficient fabrication of
the pyramid structure encasement from raw materials available in the local
vicinity.

side of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun excavated on the North side.
Another section of concrete slab excavated on the
North side of the pyramid.
5) There is
what is called an “access plateau” leading up the west side of the pyramid.
It has the shape of a ramp that is 420 meters long, 35 meters wide,
inclined at about 20°, and paved with sandstone tiles that have apparently been
cut by human hand and transported to their present location.
The pyramid is covered with ice age flood deposits which are deeper on the
south side of the pyramid. I propose that these deposits that buried
the pyramid were transported by giant avalanche-like waves of glacial
meltwater (what I call continental glacier waves) which came from the North, the
pyramid being then located about 600 kilometers south from the southern
edge of the European ice sheet. This flood assault from the north would
explain why the deposits are much deeper on the south side since this would
have been the leeward side where deposits would have more easily collected to a
greater depth. Just the presence of these
deposits which are seen to cover the Pyramid of the Sun, as well as the other
associated pyramids, is proof by itself of the ice age antiquity of these edifices.
6) An
electromagnetic energy beam issues vertically from the peak of the
Pyramid of the Sun. It usually has a diameter of about 28 feet, but
varies in size and can sometimes reach a diameter of 100 feet. Its
position is also observed to move around in a radius of about 50 feet. It
has a frequency of around 28 kilohertz, and is found to vary in intensity with
its voltage amplitude ranging from 40
millivolts to 4 volts. Its signal may even be absent
for some periods. This was found to be
accompanied by an ultrasonic wave beam of similar frequency that was observed
to have a diameter of 5 to 6 meters, to similarly move around the pyramid in a
radius of 15 to 20 meters, and to vary in intensity and even shut off entirely
for periods of 10 minutes or so. Weather was observed to affect the
intensity of the ultrasound beam.
Hills
or mountains are not normally observed to spontaneously radiate directed energy
beams from their tops. So, if anything, the presence of such beams coming
from the top of the Pyramid of the Sun should indicate that its outer soil
deposits are covering something that is quite unusual and certainly not of
natural origin. No one knows how the beams are generated. But it is
highly unlikely that the electromagnetic beam is radiated by a radio antenna of
the sort most are familiar with. To radiate a 28 kiloHertz radio signal,
a quarter wavelength dipole antenna would need to have a length of at least 2.7
kilometers! This is far larger than the diameter of the radiation beam
itself. Moreover such antennas normally radiate over a very wide angle;
they do not confine their emission to a beam. Although one possible
explanation has been suggested by professor Mizdrak based on the results of an
experiment conducted a few years ago which is described below.
Beam
emission is found in lasers but such beams are monochromatic (single discrete
frequency) and this is not. Moreover no laser is known to lase at such a
low frequency. Another possibility is that it might be a phase conjugate
beam similar to technologies developed by the military for use in microwave
beam weaponry and aerospace propulsion (e.g., Project Skyvault).
But then again, this implies the existence of highly advanced technology,
perhaps more advanced than what 21st century science has achieved, but in stone age times!
The
anomalous character of the beam is strengthened by the observation that
its signal intensity is found to increase with increasing distance above
the vertex of the pyramid. The beam has been detected as high as 30
meters above the pyramid using a drone, and airplane flights are planned to see
if the beam can be detected at even higher altitudes. As one possibility,
one might imagine that the beam may have a source above the pyramid (i.e.,
in space). But this would require the presence of a geostationary
satellite which if present should be known to most superpower defense
departments which raises questions as to who would have placed such a probe
aimed down at this particular pyramid and why
the military allows its homing signal to be broadcast.
Another
possibility that has been suggested is that the source of the beam is located
hundreds of meters beneath the center of the pyramid. In 2012, a team of
16 engineers, physicists and research assistants, led by Croatian electrical
engineer and physicist Dr. Slobodan Mizdrak, conducted an experiment in which
they fed a 40 watt signal ranging from 23 to 33 kiloHertz through a square
antenna deployed along the top perimeter of the pyramid. The experiment
attempted to create an interference between their applied signal and the signal
beam that was naturally emerging from the top of the pyramid. The
resulting interaction was picked up by a series of electromagnetic wave and
ultrasound wave sensors placed at different locations around the pyramid.
They acquired 39 hours of data, about 1 gigabyte, which was recorded by a
series of electronic data loggers. Using the technique of triangulation,
the data was then computer analyzed at an institution for statistics in
Belgrade and at another institution in Vienna specializing in advanced
mathematics.
The
results implied that the pyramid’s electromagnetic beam originates 2440 meters
below the pyramid apex, just over 2 kilometers below its base.
Interestingly, this is about the same distance as that separating the main
pyramids discussed above in (2). Also it was determined that the signal
requires a power source of at least 10 kilowatts. Professor Mizdrak
theorized that at this 2 kilometer depth there might be a large dish-shaped
iron layer whose center is displaced 410 meters away from the pyramid’s central
axis, about 10° off axis, and that is somehow being electrically energized to
emit these electromagnetic waves and focus them toward the pyramid apex.
This would explain why the signal increases in intensity as one moves upward
from the top of the pyramid. That is, this subterranean antenna dish may
be focusing at a point some tens of meters above the pyramid which would result
in the signal strength increasing as this point of convergence is
approached. But this dish would need to have a radius of 2.7 kilometers
to properly emit this wave.
A
power source that has continued to function for 34,000 years? The thought
begins to give one the chills. If it were indeed encapsulated at the time
of the pyramid’s construction, this would imply the existence of a high tech
fuel-less generator that has been functioning for 34 millennia. The
existence of advanced technology in the ice age era does not come as that much
of a surprise when we understand that highly advanced scientific concepts are
encoded in ancient star lore and preserved in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and
Babylonian creation myths; e.g., see the books Earth Under Fire and Genesis
of the Cosmos. But as we shall see shortly, there may be a more
practical explanation.
These
Bosnian pyramid emissions really push the ancient technology paradigm to the
limits of credibility. We are reminded of the book by Arthur C. Clarke,
and movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey in which astronauts unearth a
monolith on the moon its presence having been detected by a signal that
it was periodically broadcasting. But the existence of the signal at the
top of the pyramid is undeniable, having been measured by scientists from a
number of universities. Admitting that it is there and the possibility
that the pyramid is associated with technology as advanced, or more advanced
than our own is probably more than most mainstream archaeologists would be
willing or able to handle. They would likely block out the whole
matter from consideration, pyramid, tunnels, and all, no matter what supporting
proof was presented for the pyramid’s authenticity. Because, to admit its
existence would mean they must step into what they consider to be “woo woo
land”. Show them evidence that there was organized human civilization
building pyramid structures during the mid Ice Age period and they become
suspicious. Show them evidence that this civilization may have been
technically highly advanced and they become very angry. More than
anything, the denial by mainstream archeologists reflects on their own
psychological limitations when confronted with what to them is utterly unknown
or impossible.
A similar 28
kHz energy beam has been detected emanating from the top of the Bosnian Pyramid
of the Moon. Except in this case the primary beam is found to be
modulated with a beam of slightly higher frequency of around 42 kHz. This is 1.5 times higher in frequency. In effect,
the 28 and 42 kHz signals would be like second and third harmonics of a 14 kHz
signal. So, there is a definite indication that a resonance phenomenon is
taking place within the pyramids.
What was the
purpose of these signals? Valery Uvarov at the 2014 conference in
Sarajevo suggested that they might be spacecraft homing beam markers.
Airports use the same concept. They transmit an electromagnetic
homing beam that airplanes use for landing while on autopilot.
Another possibility that has been suggested is that it might be some sort
of communication beam. When the ultrasonic beam of the Pyramid of
the Sun is electronically converted to bring its sound down to the audible
frequency range, its modulations sound to some people as though it is
conveying some sort of information. One
other idea to throw into the works is that perhaps the builders of the pyramid
did this to call attention to their pyramid structure so that future
generations might be notified of its presence and not think that it is mearly a
mountain, as many archaeologists persist in believing. Perhaps they knew
that one day it would be covered by flood deposits and needed to incorporate a
marker beacon.
7) Now here
is some further food for thought to throw into the mill as another possible
explanation for how these energy beams are generated. The Pyramid of the
Sun is underlain by a conglomerate rock layer that also extends for kilometers
into the surrounding land area where it is found to be permeated by a labyrinth
of tunnels dug in prehistoric times. It is found that this conglomerate
material contains quartzite as one of its main rock
components. Quartzite is a diamagnetic metamorphic rock formed when
quartz-rich sandstone or chert has been exposed to high temperatures.
Like quartz, it is piezoelectric, meaning that it will generate electric fields
if vibrationally excited. This principle is used to keep the second hand
accurately ticking in your wrist watch. Now, it is known that quartzite grains
or rocks have natural resonant frequencies that range from a few kilohertz up
to many megahertz depending on their size, the larger the rock, the lower its
resonant frequency. For example, in the case of a quartz crystal, a
crystal having a thickness of 10 centimeters (4 inches) will naturally resonate
at 28 kiloHertz. Interestingly, if we take the speed of sound in concrete
we find that it is 3400 meters per second, about 10 times the speed of sound in
air. An ultrasound wave manifesting a frequency of 28 ± 6 kiloHertz in
concrete will necessarily have a wavelength of 10 centimeters! Just a
coincidence?
This means that ultrasonic vibrations
generated by the quartzite will produce sound waves whose wavelength (12 ± 3
cm) approximately matches the dimensions of the quartzite rocks that are
resonating at this frequency and hence will sympathetically reinforce their
vibration causing self-amplification of the resonant vibration! This
makes one wonder whether the ancient architectural plan to construct a pyramid
encased in concrete made of embedded quartzite may have been purposefully done
as a way of amplifying a resonance that was naturally present in quartzite
rocks of the proper dimension. Moreover because these quartzite rocks are
piezoelectric, they will be producing an oscillating electromagnetic field of
the same or similar frequency. Of course, quartzite will have somewhat
different resonant frequency than the example given above for quartz, and this
will depend on the impurities present in the rock. But, in general the
resonance will have a wavelength size that will center around quartzite rock
inclusions of about the size that are found in the concrete and conglomerate
layers.
If
the quartzite conglomerate making up the concrete encasement of the pyramid and
also the underlying naturally present quartzite conglomerate layer are
radiating ultrasonic and EM waves at this particular frequency, then it is
conceivable that the resulting electromagnetic wave component could be focused
by the iron dish-shaped reflecting layer that Dr. Mizdrak has theorized might
underlie the pyramid, and thereby be directed upward toward the pyramid
apex. So actually the observed electromagnetic energy beam may be
deriving its energy ultimately from the pyramid’s ultrasonic energy waves and
their resonance with the quartzite in the rock conglomerate.
An
ultrasonic wave component has been discovered coming from the Tumulus in
Vratnica, an artificial conical hill located 5 km from the Pyramid of the Sun.
It is 35 meters high and constructed of clay, concrete and bi-layered
artificially made megalithic blocks, some weighing as much as 24 tons.
Its artificial beam was found to be much more discontinuous than that
coming from the Pyramid of the Sun. Also its sound emissions were found
to be emitted far off from the center of the tumulus. The signals have
also been measured in the tunnel labyrinth system adjacent to the Pyramid of
the Sun but the ultrasound component there was very weak and present only deep
within the tunnel system.
Also
an infrasound component was present there in the 7 to 10 Hertz range, hence in
a range that corresponds to the fundamental frequency of the Schumann
electromagnetic resonance. Hydrophone recordings conducted in water pools
within the Ravne tunnels showed the presence of ultrasound oscillations at 24
kHz and one octave up at 48 kHz whose amplitudes changed in a rhythmic
manner. A 38 kHz frequency also appeared erratically.
Interestingly, this is 14 kHz higher than the 24 kHz frequency, a difference frequency
that is half of the 28 kHz frequency reported coming from the Pyramid of the
Sun. Researchers were getting too much environmental noise to get
reasonable ultrasonic measurements for the Pyramid of the Moon. There are
plans in the future to make hydrophone measurements there.
So
what is the source of this vibrational energy of over 10 kilowatts that excites
this quartzite resonance? One source might be natural seismic noise in
the earth arising from movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates and ongoing mini
seismic events. Seismic studies have found that the region around the
pyramids is unusually quiet. Could the pyramid be acting as a seismic
energy accumulator that dampens earthquake activity in its vicinity?
Intriguing! Or this energy may come from the 7.83 Hertz Schumann
electromagnetic resonance that comes from all parts of the sky due to
oscillation of the Earth’s ionospheric layer. This
Schumann frequency lies nowhere near the Pyramid of the Sun’s 28 kiloHertz
resonance, but interestingly scientists have measured a 7.8 Hertz signal in the
EM signature observed coming from the Pyramid of the Sun. So likely it is
somehow tied into the resonance phenomenon that takes place there.
Of
course, this theory is presently somewhat speculative being based on a paucity
of information. Research needs to be carried out to measure the actual
speed of sound in the pyramid’s concrete slabs, the resonance characteristics
of the quartzite found in the concrete and in the natural conglomerate layer.
But for those of you who have any doubts about this theory, I encourage you to
come up with a better explanation. It is indeed a mystery that needs
explaining.
8) A very
large number of ancient artifacts have been retrieved from the underground
tunnel labyrinth, some even inscribed with runic-like symbols. Since
these date from the time of the tunnel construction and before its Neolithic
date of being sealed off, they testify to the authenticity of the Visoko tunnel
site as being made in prehistoric times. The artifacts are exhibited in
the museum and archaeological repository of the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun
Foundation. I had a chance to view some of them and they are very
impressive. A few are shown in the photos below. The stone with rune-like
writing was found in Ravne in 2006. The stone bearing a pigmented effigy
at one of its ends and easily held in the hand was found in association with 20
other stone artifacts buried under conglomerate. According to curator
Timothy Moon, organic material in this same stratum yielded a radiocarbon date
of 20,100 C-14 years BP (i.e, ~24,500 calendar years BP). Interestingly,
both this date and the 30,000 calendar year BP date mentioned earlier correlate
with the dates when ice age mega tsunamis would have swept over Bosnia.
The first correlates with the date of Heinrich Event 2 and the second
correlates with the date of Heinrich Event 3.
One
particular piece, which I found extremely interesting, is a piece of ceramic
that contains what appears to be a rusted ferrous bar (fourth photo
below). It was found in a valley immediately next to Vratnica.
Future analysis will confirm if this inclusion is indeed rusted iron. If
confirmed, it would push the iron age back to the mid ice age period, with the tantalizing
possibility that these pyramid builders were employing metallic machinery in
the excavation of the tunnels and in construction of the pyramids. This
again would challenge the limits of credibility of the standard archeologist.
Information about the archaeological findings at the Ravne site may be
found in the report by Timothy Moon (see reference below).

tunnel complex.
9)
Within a few kilometers of the Pyramid of the Sun a vast system of tunnels has
been discovered, situated from 5 to 25 meters underground, and excavated within
a quartzite-rich conglomerate layer apparently deposited by an earlier flood.
The main entrance to it was discovered 2.9 kilometers from the Pyramid of
the Sun and is in a region locally known as Ravne. Some tunnels in this
labyrinthine network extend several kilometers underground and these have
branch tunnels that split off about every 20 meters or so. Also every so
often along their length a tunnel will widen into a room-like chamber from
which other tunnels branch out. One such chamber that has a ceiling
height of 4 meters serves as a hub for eight tunnel passages. Ground
radar indicates that the tunnel system being excavated will ultimately connect
with chambers below the pyramid. So Dr. Osmanagich feels that within a
few more years of excavation efforts that they will be able to penetrate to the
interior of the pyramid.
A civilization
that resided in the Visoko region some time during the present interglacial apparently
sealed off the tunnels by meticulously filling them in with gravel
(similar to that forming their walls). This sealing off is believed to
have occurred around 3000 to 5000 years ago. It is a mystery why they
were motivated to close off the tunnels. For, to do the job that was done
would have involved an enormous amount of labor, hundreds of man-years of
work. These tunnels extend for several kilometers and have branch tunnels
splitting off every 20 meters or so. The entrances to these branch
passages are consistently blocked with a “dry wall” made of carefully placed
large stones without use of mortar. Behind the dry walls the tunnels are
entirely filled with gravel that is similar to that filling the main tunnels
whose passages have been recently cleared and opened up in the ongoing
archaeological dig effort. The fill gravel is of a loose consistency
which makes it easy to distinguish from the more cohesive conglomerate material
that forms the walls of the tunnels, thereby facilitating the excavation
process.
The
meticulous filling in of the tunnels calls to mind the purposeful burial circa
8,000 BCE of the prehistoric temples found at Göbekli Tepe in southern Turkey
and which themselves date back more than 11,500 years. In Bosnia, as in
Göbekli Tepe, was the newer civilization trying to hide and forget the
past? Or were they trying to preserve the past for later discovery
in the future? It is a mystery.

10) After
examining the Ravne tunnel labyrinth during my tour in September, I became
convinced that this ice age civilization had excavated it to
create an underground refuge space where their people could take shelter
from episodes of elevated cosmic ray bombardment. My
astronomical and geological research had shown that galactic
superwave cosmic ray volleys and mega solar flare conflagrations had recurrently plagued
the Earth during the last ice age. This is substantiated not only by
astronomical and geological evidence outlined in my writings (e.g. in Earth Under Fire),
but also in the many legends of the burning of the Earth by the Sun that have
been handed down from the past in cultures all over the world.
The largest
such cosmic ray event to occur prior to the time of the excavation of the
Bosnian tunnels and pyramid construction was that which transpired during the
6000 year long hazardous period which extended from 46,000 to 40,000 calendar
years BP. During this period there occurred the largest Galactic
cosmic ray flux event of the last 50,000 years, which is seen in the
Vostok, Antarctica ice core record as a beryllium-10 (10Be)
peak centered around 41.5 kyrs BP, 10Be being an element produced in
the Earth’s atmosphere by galactic cosmic rays; see graph below. In my 1983
Ph.D. dissertation and 1987 Earth Moon
and Planets paper, I had predicted that such peaks would
be found in the ice record and proposed that they should be associated
with periods of increased solar flare activity. That is, I had reasoned
that upon its arrival a galactic superwave cosmic ray volley would propel
cosmic dust into the solar system, which in turn would be accreted by the
Sun, aggravating it into a state of elevated solar activity. Seventeen
years after the Vostok data had been published, the Cariaco Basin
extended radiocarbon record became available and, not surprisingly, it was
discovered that, during the period spanning this 10Be spike,
radiocarbon in the Earth’s carbon reservoir rose more than six fold.

The numbered climatic zones include: the present interglacial (1), the last ice
age (2, 3, &
4), a semiglaciated interval (5a-d), the last interglacial (5e), and the
previous glaciation (6).
The cause of
this increase perplexed oceanographers because it was too large to be due
to terrestrial effects such as changes in the intensity of the geomagnetic
field. Although smaller scale increases were regularly interpreted
as indications of increases in solar flare activity, they found it
difficult to imagine that the Sun’s flaring activity would rise so high
and persist in this active state for so many millennia. Apparently they
were not aware of the superwave theory. Nevertheless the data leave one
to the inescapable conclusion that this radiocarbon increase was caused by
an extreme elevation in the intensity of cosmic ray radiation striking the
Earth. This could have been due to the impact of either superwave cosmic
rays or solar flare cosmic rays associated with an extended period of high
solar activity. At its height, this event was far more severe and prolonged
than the super solar proton event that appears to have precipitated the
megafaunal extinction at the end of the ice age and which had its greatest
impact in North America and Europe; see my paper in the journal Radiocarbon.
The idea
that the Sun was overly active during the ice age has had some support
from astronomers such as Thomas Gold and Harold Zook who some four decades
ago based their conclusions on studies of lunar rocks. More recently,
physicist Anthony Peratt and his group have concluded that prehistoric
petroglyphs found around the world were depicting auroral displays of mega
solar storms.
In the midst
of this solar cosmic ray conflagration, the Earth’s geomagnetic field
intensity became depressed to 5% of its present day value for a period of
1500 years (42,300 to 40,800 calendar years BP) and around 41,300 calendar
years BP, near the end of this magnetic intensity low, the geomagnetic
pole reversed for about 400 years; see paper by Bourne,
et al. (2014). Geophysicists call this the Laschamp geogmagnetic reversal. The
occurrence of a geomagnetic reversal during this period of high
solar activity confirms a theory put forth in 1983
that at times of extreme solar storms, when the Earth’s radiation belts
become overly flooded with solar cosmic ray particles and produce
a powerful equatorial “ring current,” the resulting opposing magnetic
field can be strong enough to cancel out the Earth’s magnetic field and in
extreme cases even cause a field reversal. That the Laschamp reversal
should occur at this time indicates that the solar cosmic ray bombardment
that was causing this precipitous rise in radiocarbon concentration was
indeed quite intense.
It is no
wonder, then, that Neanderthal man became extinct at this time. In Earth Under Fire, I had conjectured
that Neanderthal man had become extinct within a relatively short period
of time at the height of this comic ray episode. Paleontologists at
that time, however, had no idea that Neanderthals might have been
extinguished by a cosmic cataclysm. They were generally of the
opinion that they had died out gradually as a result of competition with
humans, with some enclaves of the specie living to times as recent as
20,000 to 30,000 years ago. It was only this year that a study was
published in Nature
magazine indicating that these earlier dates were erroneous and that
Neanderthal man in fact became extinct on a particular date around 41,100
± 1000 calendar years BP (Cariaco-Hulu radiocarbon chronology). This
date coincides in time with the 10Be concentration peak and the
extended solar cosmic ray onslaught, thereby confirming my prediction.
It is also
not a surprise that this newly found extinction date falls in the very midst of
the Laschamp geomagnetic reversal with its accompanying implication of
extreme solar storm activity. With the Earth’s protective geomagnetic
field at near zero intensity, cosmic rays would have reached the ground in
full force and any hominids spending too much time outdoors away from
their cave shelters would have received a lethal radiation dose. The worst
periods would have been at times when the geomagnetic field was undergoing
its greatest longitudinal swings indicating particularly high solar cosmic
ray activity.
Homo sapiens
also populated Europe for at least 5,000 years prior to this extinction event.
Did they survive because they were more aware of the hazards of cosmic ray
exposure?
Finding that
the latest dating chronologies indicate that these unparalleled events all
occurred around the same time, I then realized that the ancient Egyptians had
preserved a record of this same very important date in their chronicles. The
King List found in the ancient Egyptian Royal Papyrus of Turin states that the
predynastic “reign of the gods” began 36,620 years before the time of Menes
(~3050 BCE), which would be 41,670 years ago. Apparently, the ancient Egyptian
priests were marking the passage of time forward from this very important
hominid extinction date.
The
beginning of this period of high solar activity also coincides with the
extinction of megafauna in Australia. About 90% of
Australia’s ice age mammals became extinct by around 46,000 years ago,
including all marsupials exceeding 100 kg, and 22 out of 38 species in the 10
to 100 kg range. Also three large reptiles and three large flightless
birds became extinct there.In
Tasmania the mass extinction is dated to have occurred around 41,000 years
ago around the time of the Laschamp geomagnetic reversal; see paper by Turney, et al. (2008). Archaeologist John McGovern, a
member of Dr. Peratt’s group, has found numerous Aboriginal petroglyphs in
the Australian outback which date back over 40,000 years and which make
reference to the occurrence of a solar cataclysm.
If knowledge
of such a horrible event in human history were handed down to the pyramid
builders, it is understandable why they would have gone to such extremes to
excavate tunnels thinking that a similar event would recur. After
returning from my trip to Bosnia, I did further research to check out what
the geologic record tells us about the level of solar activity at the time that
the Pyramid of the Sun was constructed. What I found was very interesting.
In the centuries prior and centuries after the pyramid’s construction,
solar activity was at its highest level since the extinction of
Neanderthal! The 33,800 calendar year BP pyramid construction date falls
in the midst of what geophysicists call the Mono Lake geomagnetic
excursion, an event that stretches over a period of three millennia from
~35,000 to 32,000 calendar years BP; see paper by Negrini, et al. (2014). Paleomagnetic studies
indicate that during the first thousand years of this event, 35,000 – 34,000
calendar years BP, geomagnetic intensity fell to 5% of its present value,
as it had done during the Laschamp reversal. During this time the north
geomagnetic pole swept to a western equatorial Pacific location. According
to the Cariaco Basin radiocarbon record, radiocarbon levels, and hence solar
activity, rose to a peak during this early phase, but subsequently fell
sharply around 34,000 years BP allowing geomagnetic field intensity to
spring back to a more normal level. So, more tolerable radiation
levels then began to prevail.
Having
managed to survive the preceding lethal millennium, these ice age people likely
became convinced of the need to begin building protective underground
shelters. In fact, measurements that scientists have conducted within the
Ravne tunnels have shown that the cosmic ray radiation intensity there is
far lower than outside in the open air, as one might expect. So, the
tunnels would have offered any nearby ice age residents a haven of
safety. Considering that it contains many kilometers of
branching passages, as well as many room-like chambers, I estimate that
this subterranean labyrinth could have once held as many as a 50,000
people.
Apparently,
these wise architects made the right decision, having taken advantage of
the ensuing cosmic ray intensity lull to complete their tunnels and
pyramid, because the Cariaco radiocarbon data indicates that during the
remaining two millennia of the Mono Lake excursion cosmic ray exposure of
the Earth rose on two occasions, from about 33,100 to 32,700 calendar years BP
and again from about 32,200 to 31,500 calendar years BP. Also a number of
cosmic ray intensity upswings occurred during the millennia that followed.
Presumably, these ice agers were able to safely weather these events from
the secure confines of their underground dwelling.
11) The
tunnel system somehow regenerates its air, always maintaining its oxygen level
at 20% without any need of ventilation. Measurements indicate
very high levels of beneficial negative ions in the tunnel atmosphere, 200
times higher than in the outside country air! One possibility is that the
28 kiloHertz ultrasonic vibration that permeates the tunnel somehow induces
sonic dissociation of the water droplets, sonic cavitation effects
perhaps splitting the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Although
this theory needs further testing, photomicrographs made of water droplets
in the tunnel show that something excites their surface and causes microscopic
water clusters to seed off from their surfaces. People say they feel
energized after spending some time within the tunnels and claim to have had
health ailments cured. I heard some testimonies first hand. So,
many visitors to the Ravne tunnels come for heath purposes, to “energize”
themselves. It is reminiscent of healing that takes place at spiritual
centers such as Lourdes. In fact, many people take home with them bottles
of water taken from the Ravne tunnel which is believed to have healing properties,
the energy vibrations within the tunnel system having imprinted themselves into
the molecular structure of its water.
12) Large
man-made ceramic stones of amorphous shape have been found in some of the
tunnel chambers, some weighing up to 12 tons. Most are too large to
have been transported into the tunnels and somehow must have been fabricated
there. Some of these stones are inscribed with hieroglyphic writing,
presumably dating from the mid ice age period. Again, this shatters all
concepts of human history. You can understand why the conventional
archaeological community has frowned on this excavation project: It throws all
their carefully assembled theories out the window.

in the Ravne tunnels.
13) The
purpose of the stones is not fully understood. Some theories suggest that
they somehow interact with the energized environment to enhance healing effects
reportedly occurring within the tunnels. People sitting around these
stones and meditating or chanting have reported spiritual experiences.
There is also the mystery of the luminous orbs that appear in some camera
shots and are seen moving around in some videos taken within the tunnels.
They call to mind the dandelion-seed-like spirit entities portrayed
in the movie Avatar.
In my group there were a number of people I met who showed
me digital images they had just taken which showed the orbs.
Normally these are not visible to the naked eye. This is not
because of their size (because in fact they appear quite large in these shots),
but rather because they luminesce at wavelengths outside of the visible, but
within the camera’s spectral range. I guess they may be emitting in the
ultraviolet. Some appeared in the very first picture I took upon entering
the Ravne tunnels, but in no others. This was the shot shown above in
which Dr. Osmanagich is leading the way. I have magnified a
portion of this to show two orbs captured in the shot. The small white specks
seen against the ceiling may also be orbs as well.
Normally invisible orbs seen floating in the air in my
first camera shot.
To fully appreciate the orb phenomenon, it is
best to see videos which have captured them flying around, such as those
uploaded to the net:
In addition,
below is a video of the tour of the Ravne tunnel system that I was part
of on September 2nd, 2014. The tour was led by Dr. Sam Osmanagich
who is seen speaking in the video along with Klaus Dona, Michael Tellinger, and
Valery Uvarov who were speakers invited to the conference. I
also appear in places in the video.
Sam (Semi) Osmanagich is exceptional in that he has withstood
discouragement and moved forward in spite of being criticized and shunned by
standard archaeological organizations, experiencing great resistance from the
local government who under the influence of archeologists have passed laws
preventing the excavation of the upper main portion of the pyramid.
Perhaps geologist Robert Schoch could help improve relations with the
archaeological community opposition if he were to revisit the Visoko site
and assess the archaeological finds that had been made since his visit there in
2006. Currently his website maintains the opinion he formed back in 2006
that the Bosnian pyramid is simply a mountain.
In
conclusion, one who visits the Visoko pyramid and tunnel excavation site will
be impressed by the aura of enthusiasm that circulates there and really infects
one. People of many diverse backgrounds have been converging there from
all parts of the world: amateur and professional archaeologists,
physicists, geologists, dowsers, mystics, media crews, pyramid explorers, and
people from many other walks of life. Maybe you will be next to go.
