Month: December 2018

In this post, we are crossing the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia in to mainland China.  I am tracking an alignment of cities and places forming a big circle which starts and ends at Amsterdam Island in the South Indian Ocean.

Next on the alignment is Urumqi, the capital and largest city of China’s Uighur Autonomous Region in the Xinjiang Region.

It was a major hub on one spur route of the ancient Silk Roads, the world’s most significant trade routes that linked East and West for thousands of years, and is a location on a modern project linking the ancient trade routes.

As I mentioned in the last post, we are in the historical region of the Ancient Uighur Empire. I read several of James Churchward’s books about what he discovered about Mu (also known as Lemuria) several years before I came into awareness of what I am sharing with you in this blog.

He describes the vast Uighur Empire as wealthy, advanced and powerful. This is a picture of one of his maps.

Most of the Uighur people are Muslim, and their language is related to Turkish. I also want to point out the very large, colonnaded building in the background …

…and culturally they are more aligned with the other countries of Central Asia than China.

Ancient ruins are all around Urumqi.

In particular I want to focus on some noteworthy sites found between Urumqi and Turpan, connected by a modern rail-line.

The ruins of the Jiaohe Ancient City are found near Urumqi. These are considered what’s left of the world’s oldest, largest, and best-preserved city of raw earth buildings.

It is interesting to note that the northern part of the site was reserved for Buddhist Temples and Stupas. This is said to be a Buddhist Stupa at the Jiaohe site.

Nearby, we find the Karez water system in Bidar in the Turpan Basin. It is made up of a horizontal system of vertically-dug wells, linked to water canals that collect run-off from the nearby mountains.

The canals channel water to the surface, taking advantage of gravity through a downward slope. The system has underground canals, dams and wells, and is said to date back to 500 years ago. A centuries-old tunnel cut out of solid rock is nothing out-of-the ordinary, right?

In Turpan, the tombs of Astana are ancient, and considered a significant and protected national cultural relic. While the tombs are considered a communal cemetery for the region…

…this mummy is found there. Mummy???!!! Aren’t we only taught about mummies strictly being an Egyptian thing? Well, they are here too!

Many mummies have been found in the Tarim Basin, west of here in the Xinjiang Region, that date back thousands of years. This one is known as the “Beauty of Loulan.”

Besides mummies, the Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves are also found in Turpan, a complex of 77 rock-cut cave grottoes dating from between the 5th and 14th centuries…

…located in the Flaming Mountains of China.

I will just leave this picture here of the Grand Canyon in Northern Arizona for comparison.

The Emin Minaret is here, said to have been built in 1777 in honor of the heroic general from Turpan, Emin Khoja. It is the largest existing old tower in Xinjiang.

Compare similarity with the Islam Khoja Complex in Khiva Uzbekistan, said to have been built in the early 1900s (hmmm), and named after Islam Khoja, Prime Minister of Isfandiar Khan. Not an exact architectural match, but the shape of the tower is similar, as well as the arch of the entryway. There is a distance of 2,375 miles, or 3,822 kilometers between the two places. And, what about that shared name?

So, as in previous posts, we find Buddhism here, as well as Islam. To be clear, I believe all of this is connected to the advanced ancient worldwide civilization, and not separate as we have been taught to believe. I see Islam in its original form being about Sacred Geometry and Natural Law, and very much a part of this original ancient civilization.

Next we come to the Altai Mountains, a mountain range in Central and East Asia where Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan come together.

I have chosen this photo of the Ukok Quiet Zone Nature Park in the Altai Mountains because of what looks to be earthworks in the middle of the picture, and the S-shaped river bend in the foreground, both of which are signature features of the ancient advanced civilization. It is sacred to the indigenous people of the region, and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site called the “Golden Mountains of Altai”…

…which includes, in the Katun Nature Reserve in South Siberia, both Lake Kucherla…

…and Mt. Belukha…

…and Lake Teletskoye in the Altai Mountains in the Altai Republic of Russia. Notice the connecting Heaven with Earth effect displayed in some of the pictures here? Intentional or not, it is there and beautiful!

This is a region with high plant diversity, and is also the home of endangered species like the Altai Mountains Snow Leopard…

…and the Altai Argali, the largest wild mountain sheep in the world, with the largest horns. Unfortunately for them, this magnificent feature makes them the crown jewel of sheep hunters’ trophy rooms.

Next on the alignment, we come to the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, covering parts of northern and northwestern China, and southern Mongolia. It runs 500 miles (800 kilometers) north to south, and is 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) southwest to northeast.

It was part of the Great Mongol Empire that we are taught about in our history books, said to have formed when Mongol tribes were unified under Genghis Khan in 1206. I am believing at this time this is not True History, but let us see what else we find on the alignment. This is a National Hero after all! No disrespect intended, but some things just don’t add up….

Where the desert is widest, Bosten Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Bayin’gholin Mongol Autonomous Region of Xinjiang…

…joins in a line with Lop Nur in the Uighur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, a former salt lake that is mostly dried up, and was a site of the Chinese Nuclear Weapons Test Base, with four nuclear testing zones at Lop Nur, starting in 1959 – with H-Bomb detonation in 1967 – until 1996, with 45 nuclear tests conducted.

Before I leave this region, I would like to include mentioning that the Gobi Desert extends from the foot of the Pamir Mountains. They are mostly in Tajikistan, and are at the junction of the Himalayas with the Tien Shan, Karakorum, Kunlun, Hindu Kush, Suleman, and Hindu Raj Mountain Ranges. The Pamir Mountains are among the highest in the world, and since Victorian times have been known as the “Roof of the World.” Please note what looks like masonry in the left foreground of this photograph taken in the Pamirs.

Next on the alignment, we come to Shainsand, the capital of the Dornogovi province of Mongolia, in the eastern Gobi Desert Steppe, said to have been founded in 1931…

… and is a stop on the Trans-Mongolian Railway. This is the railway station of Sainshand. Yes, it is a railway station, but this is substantial building, size-wise, with the architectural flavor of …

…other grand railway stations around the world, including, Grand Central Station in New York City…

…Antwerp Station in Belgium…

Helsinki Station in Finland ~ aren’t those strange statues in middle the forefront, for the historical times we have been taught?…

…and Madrid Station in Spain.

Here is a restored Tibetan Buddhist Monastery in Sainshand, called Khamar. Originally said to be founded in 1820 as a Red Hat Lineage (Nyimgma) Center of Buddhist Monasticism, Culture and Education in Mongolia, because of the spiritual energy fostered by the Gobi Desert, and it grew to have 80 temples and 5,000 monks. It was destroyed in 1937 as part of Stalinist purges in Mongolia, and was restored after 1990 Democratic Revolution in Mongolia….

…compared with this picture of the Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal prior to the 2015 earthquake. It has since been renovated, but this is a very holy site for Tibeten Buddhism. Explain it in whatever way resonates with you, there is a 1,810 mile, or 2912 kilometer distance, between these two places. And, from what I understand, Boudhanath is associated with the Red Hat Lineage as well, since Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, head of the red hat lineage from 1987 to 1991, founded a Nyingma lineage monastery in Kathmandu at Shechen Monastery in 1980.

These are among my head-scratching moments as I have been on this journey. I have much more clarity now, but if you are seeing this for the first time, Tibetan Buddhism, and perhaps more accurately the ancient practices of Bonpo, is all over this part of the world

I will stop here, and in the next post, pick up the alignment in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China.

In the last post, we took a close look at some of the interesting islands of the Strait of Hormuz – specifically, the islands of Abu Musa, Qeshm, and Hormuz.  In this post, I am picking up the alignment in Bandar-e-Abbas, Iran and following it to the city of Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan.

I am following an alignment that originates from, and ends on, Amsterdam Island, one of the French Subantarctic Islands. 

In this series, I am sharing what I found, by connecting the cities and places that form a circle.  Amsterdam Island is a tiny dot in the South Indian Ocean. 

Bandar-e-Abbas is a port city, and the capital of Hormozgan Province.  It is modern Iran’s most important port, with 75% of Iran’s sea-trade passing through here.  It’s previous name, with different pronounciations and spellings in different languages,  was Gombroon.

The most important port in Ancient Iran was the nearby Hormuz City.

In 1497, five years after the new false historical timeline was superimposed onto the original positive timeline  in 1492 (for what I am talking about, see my post “An Explanation for What Happened to the Positive Timeline of Humanity & Associated Historical Events & Anomalies”), Europeans landed in the region for the first time, in the form of the Portuguese explorer Vasco de Gama. 

Nine years later, in 1508, the European invasion began, with the Portuguese sending seven warships to protect their interests there.  This is an etching showing what Hormuz City looked like in 1522.

Old Hormuz, or Ormus, was located where the city of Minab is today.

I remember reading somewhere that there is occult or esoteric significance to the name of Ormus, but it is not the scope of this post to delve into it.  It is yet another point of information in the piecing together of this puzzle that has many missing pieces.

.

Here are some photos of ancient infrastructure in and around Minab. 

Contrary to what we have been taught by historical omission, these are not natural features.  My blog is filled with examples of why I say this, however, I would recommend reading my post “Natural Features…or Intelligently Designed Ancient Infrastructure?” – my dedicated post for why I say this.

Hormozgan Province, of which Bandar-e-Abbas is a part, has 13 major cities, and 13 counties.

The people of this region are called Bandari.  This province is also known as Iran’s Black South.    The flavor of the traditional ceremonies and music in this part of Iran is considered African, but the people are called descendants of African slaves and merchants. 

I would like to point out the other explanation, which is that these people are indigenous to this land.   There are a lot of really big secrets out there that have not been told to Humanity.  I think this is the biggest because everything  happening in our world today is related to this Truth being withheld and distorted.

There is a Hindu Temple in Bandar-e-Abbas, that was said to have been built in 1892.  Notice anything unusual in this picture?

At the very least, the dome of this building, and perhaps more, has monolithic characteristics – that is, it looks like it was carved from a single block of stone.   I see cracks in the foreground, but not sections.  Even if it is made from another building material, how did they do it, according to the history we have been taught?  What technology did they have to accomplish that in 1892? 

There is so much we haven’t been told about the True History of the planet, including how Hinduism, and Buddhism for that matter, connects back into the Advanced Ancient Civilization, and that all of this is not mutually exclusive as we have been taught to believe.  More on this later in the post.

Moving along the circle alignment from Bandar-e-Abbas, we find the city of Kerman, the capital of Iran’s Kerman Province.  It is one of Iran’s oldest cities.

This is the Arg-e-bam Castle, or Bam Citadel, in Kerman Province.  It is called the largest adobe building in the world, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site believed to go back to the 6th-century BC.  An earthquake in 2003 destroyed much of it.

Compare it in style to the Grand Mosque of Djenne, in Mali, also an example of adobe architecture.

Djenne is not far from the home of the Dogon, Bandiagara Escarpment, with its adobe dwellings…

…which just happens to look a lot like Mesa Verde in Colorado.

This is Itchan Kala, the inner walled town of Khiva in Uzbekistan.  It has been a World Heritage Site since 1990.

And before I move on from adobe structures, I just want to share the astonishing similarity in appearance between the adobe buildings of Ait Ben Haddou in Morocco’s Ouarzazate province…

…and this view of what would be considered more modern constructions in the  city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

This is the Bazaar-e-Sartasari in the city of Kerman, one of the oldest trading centers in Iran…

…compared with Fort Pulaski in the U.S. State of Georgia, on Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia…

…and Fort Jefferson on Dry Tortuga State Park, west of Key West, Florida, and not accessible by land. 

I think these so-called civil war era forts in the United States were re-purposed from their original uses.  In other words, they were pre-existing buildings that were converted for military use.

Next in Kerman is the Hammam-e-Ganjali, an historic bathhouse said to have been built in 1631.  It is now a museum.  Note the monolithic stone columns, and the stylized vaulting in the roof design.

Same idea with the Hammam-e-Vakil, a bath in the same complex, that has been converted into a teahouse.

Leaving Kerman, next on the alignment we come to the Lakes of Hamun (Helmand), which is on the border of Iran and Afghanistan.  Hamun is a group of reservoirs.  In my post “On Chimney Rocks and Man-Made Lakes” I give a detailed opinion on what that is all about – creating reservoirs is how ancient infrastructure is covered up.

In Iran, Lake Hamun is a UNESCO-protected biopshere reserve.

Mount Khajen is described as a flat-topped basalt mountain (like it’s natural) that turns into a seasonal island during the rainy season in the middle of Lake Hamun in Iran.

Rostam Castle is located on Mount Khajen, the ruins of a citadel complex.  It is an important archeological site.  This area was also part of a southern branch of the Great Silk Road, part of a ancient network of trade routes that connected East and West.

Within the remains of the complex, there is a Zoroastrian fire temple.  Not only that, in legend Lake Hamun is considered to be the “Keeper of Zoroaster’s seed.”  This means Zoroastrians believe that when the final renovation of the world is near, maidens will enter the lake, and give birth to the Saoshyans, the saviors of mankind.

Next on the alignment we come to Farah in Afghanistan.  It is part of the sparsely populated Farah Province, which is mostly comprised of rural tribal groups.  This region is heavily affected by the on-going hot conflicts in Afghanistan.  I will be focusing mostly on past history, not present, for the purposes of this blog post.

This is the Citadel at Farah, said to have been built as part of a network of fortresses by Alexander the Great when the history books tell us he took possession of the land in 330 B.C. 

To be clear, I am not saying that I believe this is when it was actually built.

The city of Farah is believed to be over 3,000 years old, and one of the ancient places of the Persian Kings.

This is called the Farah Mubarak – Mahdavia on the outskirts of Farah City.  It is a major pilgrimage site for Muslims.

The population of Farah province is predominantly Pashtun, also known as Pathan.  The Pashtun are a tribal nation of millions of Afghani and Pakistani Muslims who have a strong oral tradition that they are descendants of lost Tribes of Israel, and they refer to themselves as Bani Israel. 

Here is an example of a Pashtun textile piece.

Here are examples of traditional Afghani clothing for men and women:

Farah also belongs culturally and historically to Sistan Province in Iran, and the Greater Khorasan, which is a region lying in the northeast part of the historical Persian Empire.

Next on the alignment is Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan.  It is the third largest city in Afghanistan, and the capital of the Balkh Province.  This region is also part of the Greater Khorasan of the historical Persian Empire.

The city has been spared the devastation of war that has occurred in other parts of Afghanistan, and is considered one of the safest cities in the country.  This is the Blue Mosque in the center of the city.

The Blue Mosque is also notable for the white pigeons that congregate in its courtyard….

This is the Citadel in the ancient city of Balkh.  Balkh was a center of Zoroastrianism in northern Afghanistan.  It is a short distance northwest of Mazar-e-Sharif.  It was known as Bactra, the capital of ancient Bactria.  Our history books convey to us that Alexander the Great captured the city in 330 BC, and the hordes of Genghis Khan completely destroyed it in 1220 AD.  Hmmmm.  Something about this particular place attracts major attention!

The Hindu Kush is just south of Balkh.  There are many who believe that there is a connection between Balkh, the Hindu Kush, and Shambhala.  Zoroastrians, for example, identified the Hindu Kush as the High Hara, or the geographic center of the universe around which the stars and the planets revolve, and the home of the “Masters of the Heart.”

There is a strong history of Buddhism in this part of the world as well.  In Balkh, there are stupas over the remains of the first lay disciples of the Buddha – Trapusa and Bahalika.  The city is said to have derived its name from Bahalika. 

This  Buddhist stupa near Balkh sits on top of the Takht-e-Rustam, the throne of the hero of the world.

 I am going to end this post in the Bamiyan Valley of Afghanistan, which is not directly on this alignment – it is south of Mazar-e-Sharif in Central Afghanistan, not far from Kabul, the country’s capital.

There were two colossal statues of Buddha there, carved into the sandstone there.  Both statues were destroyed by the Taliban in 2001.  

I firmly believe there would be no mysteries in history if we had been taught the true history, about an ancient advanced civilization that was all about Harmony, Balance, Beauty, Sacred Geometry and Unity with each other and the Universe, and connecting with One’s Higher Self.  This is a poignant example of how dark forces are hell-bent on physically destroying this civilization, and its memory and legacy.  Actually, they have been hell-bent on destroying all civilization, but this particular one was the fullest expression of human potential that there ever was on earth.

I will pick up the alignment in Dushanbe, Tajikistan in my next post.
