Ancient Giants & The Chilean ‘Little’ Alien Discovery.

*Source: Before It's News

Author Steve Quayle spoke about a small ‘alien’ found in Chile and also shared his latest research on giants. The remains of a creature, a mere six inches tall, was found in a part of Chile known for petrified trees and mineralization, he reported. It came to his attention through an “exobiologist,” Ramon Navia-Osorio.

Interestingly, Quayle said that there’ve been live sightings of such beings in Colombia, just two months ago– and that an outbreak of illness was associated with their appearance. Similar tiny creatures were drawn by Shoshone and Crow Indians andreports and legends of them span the globe, said Quayle, who theorized that earth changes may have caused such entities and spirits to be loosed upon us.


 On the other end of the spectrum, there is both modern and ancient evidence for giants, with skeletons ranging from 17 to 19 ft. and beyond, Quayle contended. According to Pravda,Professor Ernst Muldashev conducted an expedition to Syria, Lebanon and Egypt and found the graves of giants.Quayle believes that many of the giants were the cannibalistic offspring of the Fallen Angels or Nephilim and that these “fearful and ferocious” beings will be returning.

Biography:

Stephen Quayle is the author of five books. For over thirty years, he has been investigating ancient civilizations, giants, UFOs and biological warfare as they relate to the future of mankind. Stephen discusses the coming worst-case scenarios approaching this world and how they interrelate to each other. Earthquakes, volcanoes, nuclear and biological terrorism, coupled with the planned financial meltdown of the U.S. dollar will thrust us into unimagined tribulations. Stephen Quayle is on record as stating that we have moved from the realm of natural threats into the arena of supernaturally guided events of the unseen hand of evil orchestrating world events of unfathomable proportions.

In esoteric and occult teachings, Giants are real beings who live on spiritual, etheric and physical planes of existence. Giants were a popular theme in theosophical literature, Atlantis, lost continents and later the earth mysteries movement of Britain in the 1970s.

The concept of giants was discussed by the theosophist and occult author Madame Blavatsky who wrote about the existence of giants in her book The Secret Doctrine connecting them to her theory of root races and claiming they correspond with Hindu cycle of the universe. According to theosophists ape-like giants were the third root race who lived on the continent of Lemuria. Theosophists also linked giants to the Atlantean race.

Ahu Tongariki near Rano Raraku, Occultists and Theosophists claim the stone structures were built by a race of giants.

Madame Blavatsky claimed that the Easter Island stone structures were built by the fourth root race, a race of giants. She also claimed due to the size of Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan they had been built by giants measuring 60 feet tall. Blavatsky linked the Polynesian peoples as the very earliest survivors as a “sub-race” of the fourth root-race, due to the Polynesian people being “a higher stature than the rest of mankind”.

The German occultist Guido von List was influenced by Blavatsky’s writings on giants and mixed together paganism, mythology, with theosophy which accepted the existence of giants living in different realms based on the first four rounds of the root race theory.

R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz the egyptologist and traditionalist believed that giants had roamed the earth, and that after the fall of Adam, humanity fell into a state of degeneration.

Lewis Spence a writer on mythology was critical of theosophy, however he still accepted the existence of giants. He read and researched english folklore and mythology depicting such giants such as Magog and the British giant Albion. Another writer who was opposed to occultism was the British journalist and author William Comyns Beaumont, like Spence he also accepted the existence of giants based on folklore, mythology, traditions and archeology. Beaumont believed that Britain was the location of Atlantis and that it was occupied by a giant race of Aryans.

Amazing City Of Giants Found Off Georgia Coast

*Source: Pakalert Press

A gigantic walled city off the coast of Georgia has been found near Sapelo Island. The city is thought to be older than the famous Egyptian Pyramids of Giza. Ancient American Indian legends refer to the walled city where the giants ‘with hair like red flames’ dwelled. Across the tribal lands of what is now the South and Southwestern United States, the red-haired giants were known and feared. The legends claim the city was destroyed by pieces of the Moon falling to Earth.

The Sapelo Shell Ring Complex

Archeologists have made an amazing underwater find about six hours off the coast of Georgia—a legendary, ancient walled city discussed by many Native American tribes over sputtering campfires for untold generations.

The Sapelo Shell Ring Complex, as it’s called, is older than many of the structures of ancient Egypt. The city is at least 4,400 years old, and perhaps much older than that.

The city was constructed on land before the seas rose to swallow it up, so it was likely built during one of the last smaller Ice Ages before the icecap retreated (creating the stories of the Great Flood).

That places the origin of the city and its heyday in the middle of the period when giants ruled parts of the Earth from South and Central America to southern North America, parts of Asia, and pockets of Eastern and Western Europe.

While most Homo Sapiens at the time were barely five feet tall, and many were in the four-foot range, the giants were big even by modern day standards.

The race of giants, according to Native American tales, recovered skeletons, and ancient tools, towered far above average humans. The men were as tall as 10 to 12 feet and many of the women reached nine feet or taller.

Giants footprints are found all over world, like this one in Africa

Orthodox scientists are scratching their collective heads over the discovery.

Until the undeniable proof of the existence of what was once considered a native myth, archaelogists and anthropologists clung to the belief that North America was only populated by primitive natives who subsisted as hunter-gatherers and were yet to create agriculture.

The Sapelo Shell Ring Complex challenges that belief. Of the architecture that remains of what was once a large city-complex, the dwellings, layout—even stairs—were built to accomodate men twice as tall as most men today.

End of the Bronze Age

Three decades before the giants built their walled city, the European Bronze Age collapsed. The end of that age came after ongoing wars with roaming bands of ferocious, leather-clad giants that dominated the land and treated puny humans as nuisances, and sometimes cattle.

Native American legends claim the giants were fierce

Ancient myths claim that some of the Giant clan were cannabalistic and enjoyed the taste of well-roasted “long pig.” Horrific tales still survive of the massive bonfires constructed by giants in preparation for their feasts upon human flesh.

Many historical documents describe the giants and some even tell of the walled cities where they lived. The cities were places of evil and terror to the primitive humans that roamed the savage, unforgiving wilderness outside the safe harbor of the more technologically advanced giants and their walled fortress-cities.

Among the most famous references to the giants that still survives today is the passge from the Old Testament [Genesis 6:4]: “There were giants on the Earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men of renown.”

The ancient walled citadel off the Georgia coast is one of the cities of the giant “mighty men of old; the men of renown.”

The Timucua and Yuchi

Two tribes that met the early European explorers were the Timucua and Yuchi. According to the explorers, both tribes dwelled in round, walled villages. The walled villages, however, were fairly primitive, smaller, and crudely made. They were not near the level of the giants’ citadel under the sea off Georgia’s coast. It is likely the more primitive tribepeople tried to copy the giants’ walled city.

Researchers of both tribal histories note that the two Native American cultures had a language similar to that of some tribes living deep in the interior of what’s now Venezuela. Because of that clue, some archaeologists have theorized that the tribes moved from northern South America to what is now the southeastern United States: primarily regions in Florida and eastern Georgia.

But the Yuchi legends speak of their original homes being located where Cuba and the Bimini islands now lie. Off the coast of Cuba, huge megalithic stones have been discovered, and it’s long been believed by some researchers that the fabled city of Atlantis lies beneath the Caribbean waters near Bimini.

If those two tribes made their way northwards as the waters rose, only to confront the land of ther giants, what fear must have shaken their hearts. Ongoing skirmishes and battles between the two races escalated as each sought the take the same resources from the land.

With their city fortress, the giants were well defended. They could mount raids and sent out scouts and foraging parties while the natives had little protection and few places to seek safety.

Yet in the long run the natives prevailed. One reason may have been a barrage of meteors and small asteroids that inundated parts of the world from as far south as what’s now Argentina to as far north and east as major parts of Europe and China.

Civilizations collapsed, cities and settlements destroyed, and the Bronze Age came to an abrupt end as much of the world’s nore advanced cultures fell briefly backwards into primitivism.

Legends of the Moon breaking and falling from the sky, impact craters dated as about 4,000 years old, and the sudden loss of agriculture and technology across the world, support the legends of tribes that left the southern hemisphere migrating towards the north.

What awaited them were the giants and their walled cities, until “pieces of the falling Moon” disrupted the carefully planned giants’ settlements and threw them into their own migration where they fought Southwestern Indian tribes.

The giants, defeated by the elements and the meteoric storms that destroyed their city, fought the Plains and Southwestern native tribes until they were finally, totally defeated in their last stand against the Paiutes in what later became the state of Utah

Last Secret Door of Great Pyramid 'To Be Opened in 2012', Says British Company.

*Source: Daily Mail

  • 'Micro-snake' robot to explore 8in shafts hidden in 4,500-year-old pyramid
  • 'I am very confident we can resume our work in 2012' - expedition leader
  • Will solve archaeological puzzle that has remained unsolved since 1872

The secret gates at the heart of the Great Pyramid may be opened for the first time in 2012, a British robot company believes - solving a mystery that has puzzled archaeologists since 1872.

Scoutek UK had already begun exploring behind the gates earlier this year - and produced the first-ever images from behind the gates using a 'micro snake' robot. But the exploration was halted by the recent unrest in Egypt.

Expedition leader Shaun Whitehead said, 'I'm very confident we can resume work in 2012.'

Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities stopped granting permits for research such as the Djedi robotic exploration of the Great Pyramid.

But it has recently started granting permits again.

'We're still waiting for permission to return to the pyramid,' Whitehead told Mail Online today. 'In the meantime, we have been working on enhancing the robot.'

'The main plan is to carefully survey and document the shafts, to gather as much information as possible to allow archaeologists to determine their purpose. We also still plan to look beyond the blocking stones at the ends of the shafts, if it is safe and practical to do so.'


The expedition is named Djedi after the magician who Khufu consulted while building the pyramid. It is a joint project founded by Dr Ng from Hong Kong University, and Scoutek UK, in cooperation with the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Egypt, Dassault Systèmes in France and the University of Leeds.

The four narrow shafts deep inside the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid have puzzled archaeologists ever since they were first found in 1872.

The shafts are just eight inches across - and thus can't be explored by human explorers. Many experts believe that the shaft was designed to provide an 'exit' for the Pharaoh's spirit into.

The pyramid is the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing, and is thought to have been built as a tomb for Pharoah Khufu, who ruled in the Fourth Egyptian Dynasty and died in 2566 BC.

Khufu had the Great Pyramid of Giza built as a monumental tomb, inside of which are tomb chambers, ante-rooms, chambers, ventilation shafts and access tunnels.

There are three main chambers: The King's Chamber, the Queen's Chamber and the Grand Gallery.

The King's Chamber has two shafts connected to outside, but two tunnels from the Queen's Chamber deep inside the widest part of the pyramid have two stone doors.

Some experts now believe this may indicate a secret chamber, further still within the pyramid.

It is not the first time robots have been used within the pyramid to gather evidence about the inner depths of the structure.

In 1993 a robot discovered a small door set with metal pins, the first time any metal had been found inside the pyramid, igniting speculation that the pins were keys or door handles.

In 2002 a different robot filmed a small chamber blocked by a stone after managing to drill through the first stone block.

The latest robot, built by UK company Scoutek, is a 'micro-snake' armed with a camera, designed to explore small spaces.

Designer Whitehead also worked on sensors for the Beagle 2 Mars exploration craft.

The door which still puzzles experts can be seen to be polished, thanks to the bendy camera, marking it out as an important part of the structure rather than simply as something to stop debris entering the chamber, says camera designer Shaun Whitehead.

Egyptologist Kate Spence of Cambridge University says the tunnels may purely be symbolic and relate to the stars.

Although she is not involved directly in the study of the Giza pyramid, Spence does not believe there is a further, hidden chamber behind the door, suggesting instead that the shafts could have been built to allow the Pharoah's spirit to cross to the afterlife.

PYRAMID FACTS AND FIGURES

The Great Pyramid of Giza was the largest pyramid ever built. It is made of over 2.5 million stone blocks weighing around 2.5 tons each.

The pyramid was constructed over a 14 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC.
Originally standing 480.6 ft tall, the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

Built for the Pharaoh Khufu as a tomb, inside would have been necessities needed for the afterlife, including his sarcophagus.

Originally, the entire casing was finished in a polished limestone

The burial chamber is located in the center of the pyramid. It can be reached by a series of passages including a 30ft high gallery. Many of the passages were filled with traps to stop possible graverobbers.

Khufu left behind him three wives, who were interred in three smaller pyramids, and fathered fifteen daughters and nine sons.
