ANTARCTIC ATLANTIS: HUMAN SETTLEMENTS UNDER ALL THAT ICE DOWN THERE?
Just
when you thought that Antarctica could not possibly become any
stranger, reality comes along and upsets things. And it certainly has
been strange. For one thing, temperatures in the southern polar
continent have been on average about 20 degrees warmer than normal, and I
even read a report that certain places in Antarctica reached a balmy
63.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and that indeed was very convenient, because we
were told that the strange visits of former Secretary of State John
Kerry and Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin were all about "climate
change." Well, indulge my high octane speculation for a moment: if one
can manipulate weather systems, then boosting the temperature in
Antarctica a bit to "help out the narrative" would not be all that
farfetched, if one grants the assumption. And personally, I put nothing
past these people. "See? it got up to 63.5 degrees Fahrenheit! So
Kerry's visit was about climate change. Nothing to see here, move along."
Except
that Kerry isn't the only one to have shown a sudden interest in
Antarctica. Readers of this website and of my books will know that he's
but the most recent famous visitor and world leader to take an interest
in the continent, a list which includes Admiral Richard Byrd, King Juan
Carlos of Spain, Prince What's-his-name from Great Britain, Kiril III
Patriarch of Moscow, and oh yes, did we mention the Nazi expedition and
its sponsors Rudolf Hess - who ended up in Great Britain in May of 1941
for reasons that are still difficult to fathom and then spent the rest
of his life in Spandau prison, where his British physician discovered
reasons to believe that "Hess" was not Hess, while Frau Hess
adamantly maintained he was, &c. - and Hermann Goering. One made add
to this list the planned visit of elements of Russia's Baltic Sea
Fleet, which, as I pointed out a few weeks ago, was not known for the
success of its half-way-round-the-world junkets (see the Russo-Japanese
War, Admiral Rozhdestvenski, Admiral Togo, &c.). A strange mix
indeed: Orthodox Patriarchs, US diplomats and astronauts, British and
Spanish royalty, the Deputy Fuehrer of Nazi Germany (not as a visitor,
but as an "interested party") and the founder and head of the Luftwaffe
(again, not as a visitor but as an "interested party"), and an American
admiral and a few U.S. Marines.
Nothing to see here, move along.
In
my previous high octane speculations about all this Antarctimania I've
suggested that there might be four basic reasons for all this interest
(1) "they" had need to conduct secret negotiations with "someone" and
where better to do it than balmy Antarctica, where access is strictly
controlled; or (2) "they" had found something down there, of an
extraterrestrial nature, either life or technology or both; or (3)
"they" had found something relating to humanity's distant past and
perhaps to the legend of Atlantis (after all, Antarctica is a continent submerged under lots of water in the form of ice); or (4) some combination of elements, or all, of the above.
With
that in mind, consider this article shared by Mr. B.H. (and many
others), for it looks like options (3) and (4) might now be the main
contenders in our list of high octane speculative options:
Note the opening two paragraphs:
WASHINGTON | Recently released remote sensing photography of NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission in Antarctica led to a fascinating discovery when images revealed what some experts believe could be the existence of a possible ancient human settlement lying beneath an impressive 2.3 kilometers of ice.The intriguing discovery was made during aircraft tests trials of NASA’s Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) lidar technology set to be launched on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) in 2017, that aims to monitor changes in polar ice.
I don't know about
you, but assuming that these photos are genuine, the image on the right
clearly looks artificial to me, and an Indian archaeologist, Ashoka
Tripathi, as noted in the article, concurs:
“These are clearly features of some sort of human-made structure, resembling some sort of pyramidal structure. The patterns clearly show nothing we should expect from natural geomorphological formations found in nature. We clearly have here evidence of human engineering. The only problem is that these photographs were taken in Antarctica under 2 kilometers of ice. That is clearly the puzzling part, we do not have any explanation for this at the moment,” he admits.
The
problem, as noted, is that this is buried under two kilometers - that's
about 1.2 miles for those of you still using the more scientific
imperial metrology - and that raises the problem of how such a
habitation became encrusted with about a mile of ice. Predictably, the
explanation runs to the Piri Reis map:
“One of histories most puzzling maps is that of the Turkish admiral Piri Reis in 1513 AD which successfully mapped the coastline of Antarctica over 500 years ago. What is most fascinating about this map is that it shows the coastline of Antarctica without any ice. How is this possible when images of the subglacial coastline of Antarctica were only seen for the first time after the development of ground-penetrating radar in 1958? Is it possible Antarctica has not always been covered under such an ice sheet? This could be evidence that it is a possibility” he acknowledges.« A slight pole shift or displacement of the axis of rotation of the Earth in historical times is possibly the only rational explanation that comes to mind but we definitely need more research done before we jump to any conclusion.”
What
I find so incredible here is that the final two paragraphs are being
advanced by Cambridge University cartographer Christopher Adam, who also
appears to be accepting of the hypothesis that has been bandied about
in alternative research for decades as an explanation for the 16th
century Turkish admiral's map and its highly anomalous depiction of the
coastline of Antarctica without ice. The topic of axial rotational shift
and even crustal displacement was first advanced by science teacher
Charles Hapgood who made an extensive study of the Piri Reis map in his
classic study, Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. Hapgood
subsequently wrote a book about his theory of crustal displacement, with
a foreword by none other than Dr. Albert Einstein. Let it also be
noted, as I pointed out in my book The Financial Vipers of Venice,
that in the marginalia of the Piri Reis map, the Turkish admiral also
states that Christopher Columbus had mediaeval maps of the new world,
and undertook a secret journey to the New World prior to his famous
"voyage of discovery" in 1492, but that's another story.
What's intriguing of course is to contemplate when
such an event might have occurred, and my high octane intuition
suggests that this might have been concurrent with some ancient
catastrophe, such as blowing up a planet in a war, the shock waves of
which might have concussed the Earth, tipping it slightly, and burying
an entire continent under lots of water which froze. And let's remember,
in Plato's accounting of the Atlantis myth, the "lost continent" was
known for its warlike ways.
So if this is
human habitation, it certainly would be a significant enough discovery
to call forth the attentions of US Secretaries of State, Patriarchs of
Moscow, Baltic Sea Fleets, and Apollo 11 moon astronauts, for it would
be an attestation of the truthfulness - in some degree - of the Atlantis
myth. Recall however, that in that myth, it is strongly suggested that
Atlantis was possessed of "technologies of war" that would be of
interest as well, which might rationalize the attentions of American
Admirals, Nazi Party Reichsleiters and the founder of the Luftwaffe. The problem there of course, is whether they knew of such things, and if so, how, since it is buried under lots of ice, and radar tomography from satellites did not develop until after World War Two.
So
if it's a human(or other) habitation, how does one investigate? Well,
one way, of course, is to drill down through the ice and carefully
excavate a subterranean chamber for conventional archaeological study.
And the other way, of course, is simply to melt the ice, while calling it "climate change."
