"Now, approximately 5 miles from the area of Galveston Island, an ancient ceremonial Pyramid complex existed in a coastal region, now submerged and covered in the sedimentary silt and slime of the ages below Gulf waters. The Crystal Skull now called Max was among the 13 skulls located within it. The Moody Gardens Pyramids have taken on the multidimensional energies of the submerged Atlantean complex and are now fully formatted to play a major role in the Cosmic Trigger. This energy transferal was completed when the ancient skull Max, indeed of Arcturian origin, was taken into the Moody Pyramids for ceremony!"

And so we speak this moment of what may be termed the 'Heart of the Dove'. On the winter solstice of 2009, the 'Heart of the Dove' will be activated into parity field. On the spring solstice of 2010 it will join with the Head of the Dove in the in the Crystalline Activation of the Cosmic Trigger.

Explanatory Study of Keys 1-0-4 and 1-0-5 of the “Book of Knowledge, Keys of Enoch” by James Joseph Hurtak published by the Academy of Future Sciences.  This book is written in a scientific spiritual language giving the Cosmological and Scientific codes for the evolution of mankind into higher consciousness.  It is written in seven levels.  This explanation is not the ultimate level.  The final level of understanding of all the keys is achieved through their applied technology not by any one individual in particular but by a collective of scientists working in 64 different aspects of ‘applied’ science.

 The explanation of these two chapters came as an assignment given to me by Dr. RA-Ja ‘Merk’ Dove of the Aquarian Perspectives Interplanetary Mission.  This information will bring a better understanding to Aquarian scientists working with higher spirituality.  It is of little or no value to current Earth scientists that hold a materialistic scientific viewpoint.  If these subjects may sound funny to these materialistic scientists it is of no importance to me, that is their problem: They still need to work their psychologies through present and future several other reincarnations before they are ready to understand and appreciate this Light.

Memo:

Two years ago on April 23, 1998, hundreds of thousands of people in over eighty countries stopped to pray peace for ten minutes. The goal was to show scientifically what the mystics and the sages have always said, that a focused 'feeling based' prayer is the most powerful force in the universe. James Tywman, one of the sponsors of the vigil, was at the United Nations in New York with nearly forty ambassadors when the vigil took place. Minutes before it began a woman stepped into the center of the circle and said these words:

"Four years, four months, four weeks and four days ago, a group of Hopi elders came to the UN to give their vision of the New World. One of the things they said was, 'Fours years, four months, four weeks, and four days from now, something would happen at the UN that would change the world.' This is the day these great people prophesied."

Now, two years later, at the dawn of a new millennium, I continue to vibrate to information that is astounding and simply put, amazing. Validation after validation. I have been reading of the 'Peace Wave' and the 'split' in Giant Rock, with its ancient prophecy fulfilled. I read on about the 'Integratron' where the Great Experiment '2000' is to take place on April 23rd, and once again, the reference to Nikola Tesla is there regarding the basic principles in which the building was designed.

Then there was more. I came across a message board at James Tywman'a web site, and I read the following.

Dear new friends,

Having just become aware of this message board today, this is my first post. I hope that it is appropriate to post here, the following vision and channeled messages.

I recently was sent to James Tywman's article (Ancient Prophecy Fulfilled- Giant Rock Splits). I got angel bumps when I read of the ancient prophecy being fulfilled and felt a deep resonance with the event. I shared the article on three other message boards to spread the word. A day later, I received a vision which I am enclosing as well as subsequent channeled messages which were posted about the event which will happen tomorrow, march 11th, at 11:00 AM pacific Time.

Giant Rock Vision

Posted on 3/4/2000

When I read about the Giant Rock prophecy and the splitting of the Giant Rock recently, I resonated deeply with what I read and with what was shown in photos. I had no idea why. I had never heard of the prophecy before.

I laid down for a nap this afternoon and immediately received a vision. I saw the sparkling interior of the newly split rock, and while focusing on the white granite, I saw a large bird begin to emerge like the image you eventually see when focusing on those 3d pictures that look 2d initially. The bird resembled a huge dove and the energy radiating from it was in shafts of glowing light- the creator's unconditional love and hope. I also strongly intuited that this bird was a phoenix escaping from a shell in which it had long been imprisoned, awaiting release at the appropriate time when the planet and humanity were ready to ascend- to rise as a phoenix from the ashes of our struggles.

As I write, the bird is still emerging from the giant egg- very slowly like a chick hatching from an egg. It's wings are unfolding as it emerges, and I can see that they will be of a massive wingspan. The feeling I'm getting is that this process will take about a week and is a prelude to the May 5th event. I can feel enormous hope and expectation around the dove's emergence here on Earth and beyond the veil. I don't know what the final vision outcome will be when the dove-phoenix is free of the rock and is ready to take wing, but I can hardly wait. I would dearly love to be present at the site of the Giant Rock at the emergence time. Is there anyone reading this post who lives near the area and could take part in a week or so? At this time I'm not being given an exact date of the final emergence, but I have a strong feeling that if someone makes the commitment to be a physical observer, they will be told of the time and date.

Giant Rock Dove-Phoenix Ascending Saturday

Posted on 3-10-2000 3:44 PM

Dear Family,

I received today that Saturday, Mar 11th at 11:00 AM (Pacific Time) is when the Dove-Phoenix of the Giant Rock will be ascending. She/He is actually ready now but the Universe is waiting for a time when more people who resonate with this occurrence will be able to take part either physically by travelling to the area or spiritually by tuning in' at 11:00. (I will be doing the latter.)

The Divine feminine energies of the Elohim spoke to me when I asked if there was information to be shared about the event happening tomorrow. Lady Amethyst spoke for the group saying that the ascension of the Dove-Phoenix is an event that all may participate in by giving verbal intent to take part. She said that those who observe without giving intent will be just that, observers. Those who feel the urge to take part more personally will be ascending with the dove-phoenix. I was shown this massive, beautifully radiant white bird- larger than the original Giant Rock 'egg', rising upward steadily like a rocket with all those who had given intent rising with it. The bird is so powerful that any number may be uplifted with it simultaneously. This event is part of the ascension of humanity and the planet. It is one of the forerunner events. Once intent is given to personally take part, to ascend with the bird at the appointed time, it is just a matter of allowing oneself to flow with the energy and purpose of the event, to see and feel oneself there taking part, then to let go of all expectations and flow in love and trust.

Lady Amethyst said that for each who gives intent from a pure heart for personal participation will experience in unique ways what will transpire. Revelations, insights, personal releases and cleansing, healing, increased vibratory frequency, any number of occurrences may result. For each involved there will be a personal benefit. Some may also receive gifts or long awaited requests. She said, the participation in whichever form, or not at all, will depend on the individual. each must honor what their heart shares about this event. If I receive any other information, I will share it here before 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.

In Loving Anticipation,
Angelynne

Once again the Dove re-appears to guide. After my experiences with the first Great Experiment, the activation in Washington DC, Tennessee and California, I could not ignore such co-inciding events. For three years now I have allowed this process to play itself out through synchronicity. I have learned and been rewarded much by their lessons. Everything within my being tells me that something is going on here that simply cannot be ignored. If the intuitive nature is what we are claiming it to be, then faith would now choose my path once again. I began to play closer attention to the interactions. In the meantime, the process continues to play itself out daily within each of us. Each clearing, transmuting his/her own karmic patterns in cycles of ebb and flow. There are tremendous energies reigning down on this planet at this time, unlike ever before in it's history. We are moving into an era of even more accelerated cycles of energy. Battles and wars are being waged in order to make way for the new energies. There is no where else to turn and hide, no place to go. There is no running away. There is only the final confrontations to be made in order to break free of the net that binds us from going home in eternal peace, freedom, and love. The cosmic time table is set in place. Humanity stands at the threshold for a quantum leap in consciousness. Understanding the synthesis between science and spirit behind such a process is critical.

The following relationship that developed between Angelynne and myself laid the foundation for what lay ahead.

March 20th, 2000

I have found this correspondence most profound. The following are excerpts from the response I received via e-mail from Angelyyne in regards to the "Dove-Phoenix" and the "Great Rock Ascension" message posted on March 10th and the Emissary of Light web sight...interjected thoughts and excerpts from my journals and manuscript.

Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2000 23:53:06 -0800
From: "*****"
To: "Jon-William"

Dear Jon-William,

Thank you for your kind words! When I posted the vision and messages on James Twyman's message board and received no replies, I didn't post the two subsequent ones, which are included below.

For the past 7 years, I have also been what my guides call a Universal Channel. I was approached by Archangel Michael at 5:30 in the morning 7 years ago and was asked if I would consent to carry out lightwork assignments on behalf of the Creator. I had never channeled before in my life nor did I have any background in metaphysics. I initially said I thought he had the wrong person! That was my first experience with the Spiritual Hierarchy who I've worked with closely since that morning. Because I'm still teaching and the teaching profession would frown on my lightwork activities, I always use the name one of the groups I channel gave me two years ago - Angelynne.

I went to your web site and am very impressed with what you have shared. I can see how the Dove-Phoenix vision and subsequent messages fit well with your words and intent. I do have a question. Why did you not include Lady Amethyst's name? She is one of my guides who is part of the Divine Feminine Energies of the Elohim. She would have no problem with your using her name.

When I went to the part of your web site with your biography and picture, I got massive angel bumps. Maybe it was the music, I don't know! I received very strongly that your instinct to include my visions and messages was 'right on'. Please do not feel you must include the following messages. I'm sharing them with you as they did follow what you have. (I'm receiving that the White Rose vision is important).

The following are two transmissions that took place on the days following the ascension vision from the Great Rock that Angelyyne has shared, but withheld from the message boards.

Posted by Angelynne (g0001) on March 13, 19100 at 02:11:37:

Dear Family,

I am asking for help from my friends on the other side of the veil in relating my experiences about the Dove-Phoenix ascension. With me are the Divine Feminine Energies of the Elohim, the Great White Brotherhood of Light, and the Anasazi.

I had expectations before tuning in at 11:00 yesterday. I expected to see the magnificent, glowing white Dove-Phoenix wings outspread ready for liftoff. I didn't see the bird at all. When I tuned in I saw only a stunningly radiant white light fringed with rainbow colored light, emanating from what I assumed was the heart of the Dove-Phoenix. The light was blinding bright, but somehow didn't hurt my eyes. I instinctively knew that I needed to become one with the light.

I found myself rising in a sort of 'bubble' within the stream of light energy. I assume this to be my merkhaba. I only was aware of it at the beginning of the journey. I was moving upward but not straight upward. It felt like I was in a sort of tube with a very large diameter. It was pointed in an upward direction but had twists and turns so I could not see the end. I seemed to float gently along and focused on flowing as my guides had instructed. I was able to speak with my guides as I progressed forward in this light tube. Those of the Divine Feminine Energies and the Great White Brotherhood were with me, but seemed to be 'outside' the tube. I had been told that the destination of the Dove-Phoenix was the Great Central Sun. I was also told to forget about time and space during this journey.

While in the tube of light I receive several gifts. The first was a knowingness that the light energy of the Dove-Phoenix was igniting each of my cells. I was told that the ascension process would cause cellular transformation and that it would manifest from the inside of my physical body outward. I also received what felt like a wash of energy from inside the tube, ahead of me. It was liquid energy, like liquid light, but not the sparkling white liquid I usually see as liquid light. I could feel it covering the outside of my body but simultaneously the inside as well. I was told this was for healing and cleansing. A few minutes later, I felt what looked like gold dust softly descending from the ceiling of the tube. It not only covered my body but was absorbed into my body. I was told this was to facilitate the manifestation of monetary abundance that I was co-creating.

At the end of the tube of light which was reached over an hour after I entered, there was what I can only describe as a massive gate of shining golden colored material. I put my hand on the gate and it opened. This is where everything gets difficult to remember. I know I was talking with someone on the other side, but can't remember clearly what was said.

I was in a deeply altered state all day and evening yesterday. Each time I checked in to see what was happening, I always found myself back in the tube of light where my guides spoke to me more about my upcoming contract and life changes. Today I felt quite disoriented, dizzy, spacy. Throughout the afternoon I napped and received many waves of what I can only call ecstasy. A profound love, peace, joy filled every cell of my body. With each wave I shared the energy with people I know, the planet, the grids... It was a wonderful experience that I didn't want to stop. As well this afternoon, a new group popped in. They said that they are the Anasazi. They showed me a vision which I am still trying to understand. They said that they also were present at the ascension event yesterday.

I know there is more that is not coming to mind at this time. Much of what I learned was personal, about my future work and contract. I am still deeply in the ascension energy. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow brings. I hope others who participated will share some of their experiences. I was told that all would be quite personal and unique.

Sending Waves of Ecstasy to All,
Angelynne

In Reply to: Giant Rock Dove-Phoenix Ascension Experience posted by Angelynne on March 13, 19100 at 02:11:37:

Dear Family,

When I checked on the Giant Rock this morning I saw where the Dove-Phoenix had emerged from the interior of the stone, a glowing white rose in full bloom. It radiates the same unconditional love rays of energy of the Dove-Phoenix - the Creator's unconditional love - and the energy of transformation and ascension. I was told by the guides that were present during the ascension process that the rose will remain as a symbol of what has taken place. The energy of ascension and transformation will continue to emanate from the Giant Rock so that at any time we may tune in and raise our frequency, our spirits, and to travel yet further on our ascension paths by being one with the rose. In becoming one with the White Rose this morning I saw and felt the same rose in my heart chakra and was filled with its incredible energy. I felt the same waves of unconditional love that I had yesterday, but calmer today, easier to integrate physically. I received to let the energy flow through me, to allow the changes to proceed that were initiated on Saturday. I feel much calmer, much more grounded today than I did during the past two days, but equally elated. I thank Spirit/the Universe/the Creator for giving us this gift and for leaving us a lasting remembrance of an unforgettable experience.

May the fragrance of white roses fill the air on desert nights,
Angelynne

This was not the end of the transmissions as more was to follow that only contributed to the confirming aspects and synchronicity of our work.

I'm also including a message about the Dove-Phoenix that might be of interest that I forgot to send last night. It didn't receive much attention on the KMB. Spirit had told me before hand that there was someone 'out there' who needed the information, but most people wouldn't be drawn to it. That is exactly what happened. Don't feel that you have to use it. It is for you.

So, as a good brother and friend of mine would say, 'what else do you need, a burning bush?" I want to highlight a couple of points here that I find most interesting...if they are not self evident by themselves. The first thing that struck me was the fact that she has mentioned Archangel Michael, The Great White Brotherhood, and the Elohim, all sources that I have been working with. Many of my journal entries in my manuscript confirm this. But first, I want to go back to last evening when I tuned into the World Puja broadcast and reiterate what their message was and how it all encompassed the 'heart"...and look at the amazing synchronicity that exists here. The continued transmissions from Angelyyne sent to me not three hours later, but yet dated on March 13th,..

"I didn't see the bird at all. When I tuned in I saw only a stunningly radiant white light fringed with rainbow colored light, emanating from what I assumed was the "Heart" of the Dove-Phoenix...She goes on and mentions several more important correlating relationships to my experience shared in the "Return of the Dove". "I had been told that the destination of the Dove-Phoenix was the Great Central Sun.". The following is a quote from a "transmission" taken from my journals on April 4th, 1999, Easter Sunday, following the culmination of the twelfth activation at Celestial Falls, California.

This process takes on a much more expanded realm of consciousness that is more universal in nature, then personal. Once the soul, or energy points are aligned within oneself, the portal is then cleared for the connectedness of cosmic consciousness. It then becomes something connected to beyond the 'self". A fusion, .....a soul fusion. A monadic essence. A supreme consciousness that is eternally accessible through the alignment and activation of the chakras, and magnetic energies within ones body. For one sacred surroundings, the power places, become a vortex of conscious spiral energy, emanating from the Great Central Sun, fusion with the central star,...and harmonizing with the universal, eternal,..sound.

Shes goes on and states: "The first was a 'knowingness' that the light energy of the Dove-Phoenix was igniting each of my cells. I was told that the ascension process would cause cellular transformation and that it would manifest from the inside of my physical body outward. ..

A quote from the "Return of the Dove"...
"It is important for the grounding of these energies to take place within certain "time frames" and "windows within cycles of energy" in order to activate DNA codes on a cellular, intuitive and etheric level....

She then sums it up beautifully by stating, In becoming one with the White Rose this morning I saw and felt the same rose in my heart chakra and was filled with its incredible energy. I felt the same waves of unconditional love that I had yesterday, but calmer today, easier to integrate physically. I received to let the energy flow through me, to allow the changes to proceed that were initiated on Saturday. I feel much calmer, much more grounded today than I did during the past two days, but equally elated. I thank Spirit/the Universe/the Creator for giving us this gift and for leaving us a lasting remembrance of an unforgettable experience.

May the fragrance of white roses fill the air on desert nights, Angelynne

The "White Rose", the heart of the "White Dove". This is the message. This will be the focus of many during the Great Experiment 2. Many of my sources are telling me this now...That this event is critical in being a final anchor of these transmuting rays of energy that have been reigning down on this planet over the past few years now. This indeed Has Been an experiment, but even more so then most realize. The energies that have been being grounded by lightworker conduits all over this planet for years now, have been consciously used to set in place the new energy matrix. A new energy grid based on the electromagnetic properties that exist within each and every one of us. But a very important element to connecting to this grid is the heart chakra, the solar plexus. The "white dove" is showing us this. This is what the "Peace Wave Initiative" was about. To go beyond the "thoughts of peace", to the root, and the 'feeling of peace" within us. To "become this peace". It is one thing to know of this. It is another to create it. To manifest it at will. To achieve the balance of attainment through the connection of this energy grid system within ourselves, and as a conscious, collective entity. There is a science to this a process, an art. Until now it has been lost. Now, the energy cycles have accelerated, we are transmuting,...and we stand at the brink of zero-point manifestation. The Great Experiment is just that, a great experiment to achieving a Quantum leap for humanity.

Two years ago these sources stated that these transmuting energy rays were about to reign. They told us to "Be Ready! Many sources confirmed this, including James Tywman. And reign they have, tearing at not only the inner cores of our own personal lives and karmic debts, but to the most fundamental elements of society and it's institutions.

A quote from my manuscript dated April 9th 1998, eleven days prior to the Great Experiment.

I have continued the research, in the most objective way possible, into the teachings, transmissions, and channelings of such "spirits of light" The documentations have intensified over the past several weeks to the point, although not intentional, of experiencing several "channeled receivals" myself. These transmissions correlate to several others that I have witnessed and read about, and all seem to be saying the same thing. That very important information and energy is poised and ready to rain down on this planet over the next few months. Preparation for the receival and acceptance of this is of the most profound significance. They say to be ready..... be prepared. I only report this as what is being received and only to inform in the most objective way possible.

In what first appeared as a faint hint and glimmer of hope for me within the series of work entitled "Faces of God" ten months ago with the images of "Ares" the God of War, "Zeus" and "Thanatos", has now emerged, been re-defined, and made them selves known through and beyond the ancient archetypes, the great myths, to the remarkable assimilations and incarnations of the Underworld Gods Thoth of Egypt , Mercury of Rome, and Pathagoris of Greece. In the mystic powers of Hermes, The Enlightened One, Moses, the Master Jesus, and the rebirthing manifestations of the Lord of Death and the warrior and overseer of Earth's "Great Transformation" ... Archangel Michael.

There is only one path left for me to choose. I am to go to California one more time............
 

FROM: http://www.sunspiritgallery.com/dove.htm

Today is the first day of Rosh Hashana which creates very powerful energy. In my wake-up dream this morning, I saw the white dove from last Friday followed by the map of the dove from The Keys of Enoch. I heard: "This is the Time of the Return of the Dove". The map points to the Yucatan Peninsula - Quetzalcoatl and Mayan Calendar Prophecies. This area is being hard hit by earth changes - washing things away.

Monday, September 6, 2008 the Dow dropped 777 points - the worse single-day loss ever on Wall Street. The cover art from the Keys reflects 7 flames moving into the dove. 777, Qabbalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley.

The Return to Light as Time and the Physical Experiment ends ... links to:

• 2012 and related - 12 major grids points around one which is the Great Pyramid, hourglass, time, consciousness computer
• Orion (Osiris) and Sirius (Isis)
• The return of consciousness spaceships monitoring the experiment and bringing it to closure
• The head of the dove contains crystal knowledge that re-seeds (recedes) humans now

We are almost out of here. The program has activated its shut down sequence. This guides the energy work people are doing in preparation for closure, when they hope to guide and help other souls move beyond fear.

All goes back to alchemy or chemistry in the land of Khem (Egypt) which allegedly emerged out of the Atlantean grid - Tehuti and the Zep Tepi (sounds like a rock group) ----> Thoth and the Egyptian Pantheon. Khem - also spelled Chem - is the Egyptian word for "black" which takes us to the void, eye, Iris, Isis, etc. In ancient Egypt, Khem or Min, was the god of reproduction; as Khnum, he was the creator of all things, "the maker of gods and men".

The Hebrew alphabet contains encoded Keyz of Light. I spent 5 years in Hebrew school, ages 6-11. Since that time, I have always seen a flaming Hebrew letter called Yud or Yod (10) -- Yod in Astrology Golden Yod

Upon the re-opening and reactivating of the first Crystal Portal on the Greek Island of Ithaca, in the late summer of 1997, heralded the subsequent receiving of the channelled downloading of precise information with the whereabouts of the dimensional and inter-dimensional crystalline portals that were to be re-activated on the planet. These were shut down or 'capped' for quite obvious reasons at the‘end times' of the continent of Atlantis some 14,500 years ago, owing to the continued misuse and abuse of same.

These major portal de-activations were instrumented or ‘capped' by the Titans and Co-Creators in those years gone by, as the fifth dimensional plus grid of energies that they supported were continually abused by those who chose personal aggrandisement and untoward deviation from the true pathway of light expression and progression. This ‘fifth dimensional' crystal grid system was also the very means that the beloved planet received her light-bodies or Merkabah. The capping and subsequent closing of the then crystal grid system, therefore negated the planet's 'ability to ascend' as she no longer had that just and divine facility. It was to be ‘on hold.'

The resultant methodical, geometrical and mathematical precise reactivations or ‘decapping' of the circa 15 dimensional crystal portals and the nine inter-dimensional crystal portals continued over several years with much downloaded data from our off planet team of fellow travellers headed by the one known as Zeus, or more familiarly as Metatron.

These crystalline portals when in full alignment would once again further enhance and assist the planet's light body acquisition and restricting also the use of these energy gateways from further abuse by the beings of 'lesser light.'

The much emphasised cleansing and releasing of 'lesser or negative' energies and old patterning on both a personal and global nature continues, as we are all very well aware. There are very few upon this beautiful planet who are 'immune' to these momentous changes and co-resultant ‘feelings and shifts.' They are, and will continue to be, most obvious in their continued evolutionary flow and momentum - ascension into all that is!

The planet has had for several years, namely since May 2000, her divine right and re-ability to accommodate her own mighty light-bodies and the cementing of the planetary Crystal Grid System with the Christ grid via those de-capped and reactivated crystalline portals. The continued energy ‘shifting' is now more pronounced, and is the preparing of the way for THE inevitable shift in mass-consciousness. These Christed energies, or "Return of the Dove," have become most accessible to the many aspiring souls, starseeds, and countless light-workers upon beloved Terra at this now momentous time in both hers and our ongoing evolution and ultimate ascension. We ARE the host of Christed beings that walk daily upon our beloved planet, Mother Earth.

It is apparent and an ongoing inevitability that more groups of ‘light-workers' will be so guided, in ultimate highest good, to these crystal portal areas. They will assist further with the updating and maintenance energies in accordance with the grand divine plan, for this is so and will be the way of things.

The dimensional crystalline portals were activated out of Ithaca/Moscow/Poland, 29.8.97. Auckland/Vanuata/Brisbane 4.1.98. Equador/Guinea/Haiti,9.2.98.
CanaryIsles/Rio deJaneiro/Capetown, 24.2.98.
London/ St.Johns/Canary Islands,1.3.98.
Istanbul/Tibet/ SriLanka,14.3.98.
Oslo / London/ Palermo, l6.4.98. Bordeaux/Madrid/Palermo,26.4.98.
Hawaii/ Mexico/ Brisbane, 11.5.98.
Tokyo/ Malaysia/ Solomon Islands, 1.6.98.
Further were activated in the U.S. and Canada, namely out of NewYork/ Memphis/ Bermuda, 29.8.98.
Edmonton/ Moosenee/ Chicago was in 26.9.98.
SanFransisco/ Houston/ Vancouver was 22.8.98.
Further dimensional crystal portals were activated on the 9th.and12th.July.1998 from Perth/CapeTown/Seychelles
and Perth/Uluru/ Christchurch.

Then followed a most precise and systematic opening of nine inter-dimensional crystal portals out of Stonehenge, Perth, Uluru, Christchurch, Egypt, New York, Stockholm and the Canary Islands. These were all duly completed in the year 1999 as was absolutely necessary to comply with the universal and planetary sacred geometry.

The trigger point' and grand finale of crystal portal activations was successfully and gloriously achieved in Anchorage, Alaska , during that magical 7 planet lineup, specifically between May3 - 5, 2000 when the heavens and the Earth were once more in perfect alignment for all that surely is to be!

The "Return the Dove," is the injection of pure Christ energies into beloved Lady Gaia's beautiful ascending planet, hosting the many Christed beings that walk daily upon her. Mother Earth is again resplendent with her crown of crystal portal jewels affording the Crystal Grid System it's every powerful potentiality so to be.

Hi Everyone! I had a wonderful trip to Mexico last month, and would like to thank Carol Heywood-Babrauskas for making it possible. She is a wonderful person, and has also written a book. The web site for that book is www.passionatepinky.com. Check it out. I enjoyed Mexico very much - the warm weather, the ocean, the beautiful flowers, the beautiful scenery, and the people. I loved Puerto Vallarta and would like to go there again sometime. I also liked Yelapa which is a small village without any cars. It is very rustic and interesting. The only way to get there is by a water taxi from Puerto Vallarta. Yelapa is where we spent most of our time. To get to the house we stayed in we had to walk up 200 stairs. What a climb.
 
The first day we were in Puerto Vallarta we went shopping and exploring the city as a group. We stopped for lunch and one of the women there told me that Yelapa is located at the bottom Wing of the Dove. This information is from the book, The Keys of Enoch. If you have that book check out page 315. She also told me there is a huge vortex in Yelapa and surrounding area. I really felt the energy when we got to Yelapa and I was spaced out for at least three days.
 
Before I left home I printed out a channeling by Metatron through Tyberonn. Check out www.Earth-Keeper.com. I didn't read the channeling until after I was in Yelapa, then everything started to fall in place. I realized that one of the reasons we were there was to help anchor the energy for this upcoming equinox and the coming of the Dove. The return of the Dove is the return of the Magno-Crystaline Firmament. It is the crowning completion of the Crystalline Grid. If you haven't read that channeling, it is very interesting.
 
Quote from the channeling: "The opening triggered by the March 20, 2009 Equinox will be the first full-throttle flow of this energy since the Atlantean era. During the 21 days, after the Equinox, the magnetic shield around the planet will be somewhat opened and weakened slightly in a rebooting effect. During this time there will be literally thousands of ships from the Intergalactic Command and the Intergalactic-brotherhood/sisterhood of benevolent Masters brought to the periphery of the planet to provide stability and protection and oversee the transition while this phase of open portals occurs."
 
From The Book of Knowledge-The Keys of Enoch: "The Brotherhood will land in America. They will come within the formation of a magnificent 'Dove' - whose head of crystal knowledge will be over the Yucatan peninsula, whose wings shall sweep across the Eastern and Western flank of North America, whose feet will land within the pyramidal area of the Bermuda Triangle and the ocean area near Mazatlan." Another quote: "The Brotherhood will bring the new Law and educate Man to build temple communities of Light. And Metatron said: A new meridian of time will come and the foundations of the Earth will be shifted to a new magnetic foundation as the orbit of the Earth is reset within the ocean of Light." The Aquarian energy is in effect right now to build the communities of Light.
 
The Crystalline Grid was destroyed at the time of Atlantis and is what caused the great flood. There were different factions that were fighting at that time for control of Atlantis, and like Edgar Cayce said in one of his books; they tuned the crystal too high and that is what caused the destruction. I know that Beings have been working on restoring the Crystalline Grid for several years now. This grid is Electro-Magnetic and Crystalline in nature. Our bodies are also changing from a carbon based one to a crystalline body. We also have magnets in our brains along with crystals. I was told a long time ago to take silica cell salts to help my brain become more attuned to the higher vibration energy. I'm not telling anyone to take silica; I'm just sharing what I have taken over the years.
 
Now we have the return of the Dove to set up the firmament for the New Earth. The 21st and 22nd chapters of Revelation in the Bible talk about the New Heaven and the New Earth. It says, "and then I saw a new heaven and a new Earth; for the first heaven and the first Earth had passed away, and the sea was no more". Sounds like a dimensional shift to me. The spring equinox on March 20, 2009 is the beginning of the New Heaven and the New Earth. It will take until 2012, or longer to complete, but this is the beginning. I'm really excited.
 
We still have to complete the 19th and 20th chapters which, in my interpretation of Revelation, is the downfall of the controllers. This is the process we are going through right now and there is still lots of violence on Earth which will continue as long as we are going through the downfall process. It could get worse before it gets better. Time will tell. Right now there is the possibility of a war with Korea. I just read an article from the Internet about how North Korea has put their troops on alert and warns of war danger. There are still five planets plus the node in Aquarius which is right over the Koreas. Mars is also in Aquarius and that has been considered the war planet for a long time. This is a very powerful full moon (March 10). There will be different trigger points that will be activated as time goes on. Somalia also falls under this energy.
 
In my January article I talked about the war that culminated on the Sun on November 22, 2008. The negative entities that lost that war were teleported to Earth and continue to fight. They are very violent and are trying to stir up trouble all over this beautiful planet. First they stirred up violence in India and tried to start a war between India and Pakistan. Then they stirred up the Middle East (Israel) and tried to start a major war there. They did cause a lot of damage and loss of life but they could not get the war to spread to the rest of the world. Now they are working on Korea. Will they be successful in stirring up that war?  The final war is supposed to be between Gog and Magog, which could mean North and South Korea.
 
The 17th and 18th chapters of Revelation talk about the destruction of Baghdad (ancient city of Babylon). This was prophesied to happen and it did. The 19th chapter of Revelation talks about the continuation of wars, and the 20th about the downfall of the controllers. This is definitely in process right now. Then we have the New Heaven and the New Earth.
 
Another interesting event was the appearance of a brilliant Light green comet in the heavens for the whole month of February. It was at its closest point to Earth in late February. Was that comet bringing the green light body for Mother Earth? Was it bringing green light to our heart chakras? Green is the color of our heart chakra and inside that chakra is a beautiful bright pink light, which is the color of love. Pictures have been taken of thought forms that are brilliant pink when people think loving thoughts.
 
I was told a few years ago that just before the beginning of the new century the leadership of this world would be changed from male to female. Archangel Ariel is female and is considered the Dove. The male part of her is Uriel. Ariel is now the Goddess in charge of Earth. The Dove is the symbol of peace. Before too long we will be living in peace. Of course that depends on us. We need to find and express the peace within us first before it can manifest on Earth.
 
On November 9, 1998 the earth's magnetic field went to zero magnetic energy. This is when solar energy came into earth to plant the seed for a new Earth. Then the triple circle magnetic (feminine) energy started coming into Earth very strong at the time of a lunar eclipse on July 28, 1999. It's my understanding that this is when the earth opened her body to this strong magnetic energy.
 
Before that there was a total solar eclipse over Mexico City on July 11, 1991. There was an ancient Mayan prophecy (there are different systems) that the ships of light would return over Mexico on that day. They did return as witnessed by everyone who was watching the solar eclipse. There were thousands of pictures of space ships taken on that day. On that day the Mayans moved into what is called the sixth day. The sixth day refers to the sign of Virgo, the goddess, and also ended a 2,160 year cycle. It takes 72 years for a fixed star to move through one degree of the zodiac. (30 degrees per sign - times 72 years = 2,160 years).
 
I was told by my guidance several years ago that they measured a 2,160 year cycle by the star Regulas, the royal star of the Lion, moving through one zodiac sign. Regulus had been moving through the sign of Leo since, or before the birth of Jesus. Leo rules the heart and love energy. Jesus was called The Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He came to teach us about love. That was his only commandment - love one another. You first need to learn how to love yourself, and then you can love others unconditionally.
 
The Book of Knowledge says that the Sphinx symbolizes our body of space and time within the Lion solar evolution that must be conquered by Man before he can wear the face of brilliance and indwell in the presence of the Master. This means that we need to overcome our animalistic characteristics like violence, and war, and accept our shadow side. The vehicle of the Sphinx sits on the threshold between our zero point evolution and higher light technology, as the stepping stone to other consciousness zones. The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a woman. This means it symbolizes the signs of Leo the lion and Virgo the Virgin.
 
I believe that when the Earth moved into zero degree energy in November of 1998, Regulus moved onto 0 degrees Virgo. Now Regulus has started its journey through the sign of Virgo. We are now in the Age of Virgo. This does not negate The Age of Aquarius. There are cycles within cycles. That monument was put there to let us know when we moved into the age of Virgo. This is when the feminine energy within everyone would become dominant. It is now becoming the dominant force. Our president Obama is pushing for a new health care system. That is such a Virgo characteristic. Saturn is in the sign of Virgo and has been there for a couple of years. There is a strong Virgo energy out there right now.
 
We do live in interesting times. The financial system is falling apart and the new will be born from this downfall. It's time for the old way of doing things to collapse because it doesn't work anymore. How will the new energy manifest? How will the system be different? Does anyone know? It's like the Phoenix that burns and is reborn from the ashes. Now we have the Earth about to be reborn into a New Heaven and a New Earth. Isn't that exciting? So Be It!         I send you my love and blessings!

Aquarius is a constellation of the zodiac, situated between Capricornus and Pisces. Its name is Latin for "water-bearer" or "cup-bearer", and its symbol is , a representation of water.

Aquarius is one of the oldest of the recognized constellations along the zodiac (the sun's apparent path). It is found in a region often called the Sea due to its profusion of constellations with watery associations such as Cetus the whale, Pisces the fish and Eridanus the river.

 Deep sky objects

There are three deep sky objects that are on the Messier catalog: the globular clusters Messier 2, Messier 72, and the open cluster Messier 73. Two well-known planetary nebulae are located in Aquarius: the Saturn Nebula (NGC 7009), to the southwest of η Aquarii; and the famous Helix Nebula (NGC 7293), southwest of δ Aquarii.

 Visualizations

Conventional

The stars of Aquarius can be seen as resembling the figure of a man, and, when fainter naked eye stars are included, it can take on the image of a man with a bucket from which is pouring a stream of water. The water flows southwards into the mouth of the southern fish, Piscis Austrinus.

 Alternative

The stars of the constellation Aquarius can be connected in an alternative way, which graphically shows the water bearer running while holding a vessel from which water is spilling.

The water bearer's head is formed by the quadrangle of α Aqr, γ Aqr, η Aqr, and π Aqr: α Aqr being of the third magnitude. Star ζ Aqr, lodged within the quadrangle, represents an eye.

The water bearer's torso is formed by the stars α Aqr and β Aqr, with β Aqr being of the third magnitude.

The water bearer's left leg is formed by the stars β Aqr and ι Aqr, whereas his right leg is formed by the stars β Aqr, ν Aqr, μ Aqr, and ε Aqr, with these last two stars representing a foot.

The water bearer's arm is formed by the stars α Aqr, θ Aqr, and λ Aqr, with λ Aqr being the hand.

The water bearer is holding a vessel, perhaps a jar, which is formed by the stars ψ¹ Aqr, φ Aqr, λ Aqr, τ Aqr, and δ Aqr. The open top of the vessel consists of the triangle of stars ψ¹ Aqr, φ Aqr, and λ Aqr.

Water is being poured from the vessel in a pair of streamlines. The streamline on the left is formed by the stars ψ¹ Aqr, 98 Aqr, 99 Aqr, and 101 Aqr. The streamline on the right is formed by the stars ψ¹ Aqr, 88 Aqr, 89 Aqr, and 86 Aqr.

Mythology

Aquarius is named GU.LA "The Great One" in the Babylonian star catalogues and represents the god Ea himself.^[1] It contained the winter solstice in the Early Bronze Age.^[2] In Old Babylonian astronomy, Ea was the ruler of the southernmost quarter of the Sun's path, the "Way of Ea", corresponding to the period of 45 days on either side of winter solstice. In the Greek tradition, the constellation became represented as simply a single vase from which a stream poured down to Piscis Austrinus. The name in the Hindu zodiac is likewise kumbha "water-pitcher", showing that the zodiac reached India via Greek intermediaries.^[3]

Aquarius is sometimes identified with Ganymede, a beautiful youth in Greek mythology with whom Zeus fell in love and, in the disguise of an eagle (represented by the constellation Aquila) carried off to Olympus to be cup-bearer to the gods. The constellation of Crater is sometimes identified as his cup.

Aquarius has also been identified as the pourer of the waters that flooded the Earth in the ancient Greek version of the Great Flood myth. As such, the constellation Eridanus the river is sometimes identified as a river being poured by Aquarius.

Aquarius may also, together with the constellation Pegasus, be part of the origin of the myth of the Mares of Diomedes, which forms one of The Twelve Labours of Heracles. Its association with pouring out rivers, and the nearby constellation of Capricornus, may be the source of the myth of the Augean stable, which forms another of the labours.

Astrology

As of 2002^[update], the Sun appears in the constellation Aquarius from February 16 to March 11. In tropical astrology, the Sun is considered to be in the sign Aquarius from January 20 to February 18, and in sidereal astrology, from February 15 to March 14.

 Notes

^{^}  a. The dates of Aquarius for tropical astrology are approximate, typically either from January 21 to February 18, or from January 20 to February 19, depending on the exact time the Sun enters the sign each year, which varies slightly from year to year within a small range.

According to UFOlogists there are endless examples of evidence of ancient ET visitation on primitive pottery, too. In Gold of the Gods, again by author Erich Von Daniken, there is a photograph of an old Mayan vase depicting what  certainly looks like a female astronaut. The flying figure appears to be wearing some of the attributes of the profession- a broad belt around her stomach and a apparatus strapped to her back. Pottery festooned with similar ‘space- people’ exist , too, on show, says the author, in museums in Turkey and Madrid.

Ancient astronauts

 

Paintings from Val Camonica, Italy, c.10,000 BC, have been claimed to depict extraterrestrial visitors. It has also been posited that they show gods or other mythological persons from religions of that time.

The Dogū (土偶) has been speculated to be an Ancient astronaut that visited earth during the Jōmon period of Ancient Japan; it shows features claimed to resemble a space suit, goggles and a space helmet.

According to ancient astronaut theories, intelligent extraterrestrial beings (called ancient astronauts or ancient aliens) have visited Earth and this contact is connected with the origins or development of human cultures, technologies, and/or religions.

Some of these theories propose that deities from most—if not all—religions are actually extraterrestrials, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status.^[1][2]

These theories have been popularized, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, by writers Erich von Däniken, Zecharia Sitchin and Robert K.G. Temple.^[3]

Ancient astronaut theories have been widely used in science fiction. Such theories have not received support within the scientific community, and have received little or no attention in peer-reviewed studies from scientific journals.

 Details

Ancient astronaut adherents often claim that humans are either descendants or creations of beings who landed on Earth thousands of years ago. An associated theory is that much of human knowledge, religion and culture came from extraterrestrial visitors in ancient times, in that ancient astronauts acted as a “mother culture”. These ideas are generally discounted by the scientific community.^[4]

Ancient astronaut theories also may include the idea that civilization may have evolved on Earth twice, and that the visitation of ancient astronauts may reflect the return of descendants of ancient humans whose population was separated from earthbound humans.^{[citation needed]}

Proponents of ancient astronaut theories point to what they perceive as gaps in historical and archaeological records, and to what they see as absent or incomplete explanations of historical or archaeological data. They cite evidence that they argue supports their assertions, notably, archaeological artifacts that they argue are anachronistic or beyond the presumed technical capabilities of the historical cultures with which they are associated (sometimes referred to as "Out-of-place artifacts"); and artwork and legends which are interpreted as depicting extraterrestrial contact or technologies.

Scientists maintain that gaps in contemporary knowledge of the past do not demonstrate that such speculative ancient astronaut ideas are a necessary, or even plausible, conclusion to draw.^[4][5] The scientific community remains generally skeptical, and the dominant view is that there is no evidence to support ancient astronaut and paleocontact theories.

Scientific consideration

In their 1966 book Intelligent Life in the Universe^[6] astrophysicists I.S. Shklovski and Carl Sagan devote a chapter^[7] to arguments that scientists and historians should seriously consider the possibility that extraterrestrial contact occurred during recorded history. However, Shklovski and Sagan stressed that their ideas were speculative and unproven.

Shklovski and Sagan argued that sub-lightspeed interstellar travel by extraterrestrial life was a certainty when considering technologies that were established or feasible in the late '60s;^[8] that repeated instances of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth were plausible;^[9] and that pre-scientific narratives can offer a potentially reliable means of describing contact with outsiders.^[10]

Additionally, Shklovski and Sagan cited tales of Oannes, a fishlike being attributed with teaching agriculture, mathematics and the arts to early Sumerians, as deserving closer scrutiny as a possible instance of paleocontact due to its consistency and detail.^[11]

In his 1979 book Broca's Brain, Sagan^[12] suggested that he and Shklovski might have inspired the wave of '70s ancient astronaut books, expressing disapproval of "von Daniken and other uncritical writers" who seemingly built on these ideas not as guarded speculations but as "valid evidence of extraterrestrial contact." Sagan argued that while many legends, artifacts and purported OOPArts were cited in support of ancient astronaut theories, "very few require more than passing mention" and could be easily explained with more conventional theories. Sagan also reiterated his earlier conclusion that extraterrestrial visits to Earth were possible but unproven, and perhaps improbable.

Erich von Däniken

Main article: Erich von Däniken

Erich von Däniken was a leading proponent of this theory in the late 1960s and early 1970s, gaining a large audience through the 1968 publication of his best-selling book Chariots of the Gods? and its sequels.

Certain artifacts and monumental constructions are claimed by von Däniken to have required a more sophisticated technological ability in their construction than that which was available to the ancient cultures who constructed them. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were constructed either directly by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from said visitors. These include Stonehenge, the Moai of Easter Island, The great pyramid at Giza, and the Ancient Baghdad Electric Batteries.

Von Däniken claims that ancient art and iconography throughout the world illustrates air and space vehicles, non-human but intelligent creatures, ancient astronauts and artifacts of an anachronistically advanced technology. Von Däniken also claims that geographically separated historical cultures share artistic themes, which he argues imply a common origin. For one such example, is von Däniken's interpretation of the sarcophagus lid recovered from the tomb of the Classic-era Maya ruler of Palenque, Pacal. Von Däniken claimed the design represented a seated astronaut, whereas the iconography and accompanying Maya text identifies it as a portrait of the ruler himself with the World Tree of Maya mythology.

The origins of many religions are interpreted by von Däniken as reactions to encounters with an alien race. According to his view, humans considered the technology of the aliens to be supernatural and the aliens themselves to be gods. Von Däniken claims that the oral and written traditions of most religions contain references to alien visitors in the way of descriptions of stars and vehicular objects travelling through air and space. One such is Ezekiel's revelation in the Old Testament, which Däniken interprets as a detailed description of a landing spacecraft.

Von Däniken's theories became popularized in the U.S. after the NBC-TV documentary In Search Of Ancient Astronauts hosted by Rod Serling and the movie Chariots of the Gods.

Critics have argued that von Däniken misrepresented data, that many of his claims were unfounded, and that none of his core claims has been validated.^[14]

 Zecharia Sitchin

Main article: Zecharia Sitchin

Zecharia Sitchin's series The Earth Chronicles, beginning with The 12th Planet, revolves around Sitchin's interpretation of ancient Sumerian and Middle Eastern texts, megalithic sites, and artifacts from around the world. He theorizes the gods of old Mesopotamia were actually astronauts from the planet "Nibiru", which Sitchin claims the Sumerians believed to be a remote "12th planet" (counting the Sun, Moon, and Pluto as planets) associated with the god Marduk. According to Sitchin, Nibiru continues to orbit our sun on a 3,600-year elongated orbit. Sitchin also suggests that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is the shattered remains of the ancient planet "Tiamat", which he claims was destroyed in one of Niburu's orbits through the solar system. Modern astronomy has found no evidence to support Sitchin's claims.

According to Sitchin, the Sumerians relate how 50 Anunnaki, the inhabitants of Nibiru, came to Earth approximately 400,000 years ago with the intent of mining raw materials, especially gold, for transport back to Nibiru. With their small numbers they soon tired of the task and set out to genetically engineer laborers to work the mines. After much trial and error they eventually created homo sapiens sapiens: the "Adapa" (model man) or Adam of later mythology. Sitchin claims the Anunnaki were active in human affairs until their culture was destroyed by global catastrophes caused by the abrupt end of the last ice age some 12,000 years ago. Seeing that humans survived and all they had built was destroyed, the Anunnaki left Earth after giving humans the opportunity and means to govern themselves.

Robert Temple

Main article: Robert K. G. Temple

Robert K. G. Temple's 1976 book, The Sirius Mystery argues that the Dogon people of northwestern Mali preserved an account of extraterrestrial visitation from around 5,000 years ago. He quotes various lines of evidence, including supposed advanced astronomical knowledge inherited by the tribe, descriptions, and comparative belief systems with ancient civilizations such as ancient Egypt and Sumer. His work draws heavily on the studies of cultural anthropologists Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen.^[15]

His conclusions have been criticized by scientists, who point out discrepancies within Temple's account, and suggested that the Dogon may have received some of their astronomical information recently, probably from European sources, and may have misrepresented Dogon ethnography.^[16][17][18]

 Raëlian religious movement

Raëlism, or Raëlianism, is a religious movement created by Claude Vorilhon, better known as Raël. Raël claims to have encountered extraterrestrials on a number of occasions. On one such occasion, he claims that he was informed that humans were created by an advanced extraterrestrial humanoid race, the Elohim, using their knowledge of DNA and genetics. The Raëlian movement also argues against evolution and supports human cloning. Evidence cited by proponents

 Religious texts

Proponents cite ancient mythologies to support their viewpoints based on the idea that ancient creation myths of gods who descend from the heavens to Earth to create or instruct humanity are actually representations of alien visitors, whose superior technology accounts for their reception as gods. Proponents attempt to draw an analogy to occurrences in modern times when isolated cultures are exposed to Western technology, such as when, in the early 20th century, "cargo cults" were discovered in the South Pacific: cultures who believed various Western ships and their cargo to be sent from the Gods as fulfillment of prophecies concerning their return.^{[citation needed]}

Flying machines are sometimes mentioned in ancient texts; one example is the Vimanas, flying machines found in the Sanskrit epics of India. These tales range from fantastic aerial battles employing various weaponry, to the mundane relating simple technical information, flight procedure, and flights of fancy. (See also Vaimanika Shastra, a text on Vimanas supposedly "channeled" in the early 20th century.)^{[19][citation needed]}

In the Biblical Old Testament, the Book of Ezekiel tells of a flying object seen as a fiery whirlwind which when descended to the ground gave the appearance of being made of metal. It is described among other things as a wheel within a wheel containing four occupants, "living creatures", whose likeness was that of man. The passage goes on to say that wherever the wheels went the creatures went, and when the living creatures were lifted up the wheels were lifted up. ^[20] The book of Genesis(6:1-4) also tells us of such an encounter where the "sons of heaven" had intercourse with the "daughters of man" which produced the Nephilim. ^[21] The apocryphal Book of Enoch tells of similar flying objects and beings called "the Watchers" who have mutinied from "heaven" and descended to earth, but goes further in that Enoch is taken on journeys to various corners of the Earth in the object and at one point even travels to the heavens.^[22] In several chapters of the Old Testament God is depicted as traveling as a column of smoke and/or fire^[23] and making the sound of a trumpet.^[24] These descriptions also describe Yahweh as having a physical presence,^[25] rather than an abstraction. Yahweh is described raining lightning^[26] and stones^[27] down upon the enemies of the Hebrews. However, descriptions of the Hebrew God have also featured protecting wings and outstretched arms in the Psalms, features which may be considered contrary to theories of mechanical manifestations of God.^{[28][citation needed]}

Additionally, the characteristics of the Ark of the Covenant and the Urim and Thummim are identified as suggesting high technology, perhaps from alien origins.^[29]

 Artifacts and artwork

Alleged physical evidence includes the discovery of artifacts in Egypt (the Saqqara Bird) and Colombia-Ecuador, which are claimed to be similar to modern planes and gliders,^[30] although these have been interpreted by archaeologists as stylized representations of birds and insects.

More support of this theory draws upon what are claimed to be representations of flying saucers in medieval and renaissance art.^[31] This is used to support the ancient astronaut theory by attempting to show that the creators of humanity return to check up on their creation throughout time.

Other artistic support for the ancient astronaut theory has been sought in Palaeolithic cave paintings.^{[citation needed]} Vondijina in Australia and Val Camonica in Italy (seen above) are claimed to bear a resemblance to present day astronauts.^{[citation needed]} Supporters of the ancient astronaut theory sometimes claim that similarities such as dome shaped heads, interpreted as beings wearing space helmets, prove that early man was visited by an extraterrestrial race.^[32]

 Nazca Lines

The ancient Nazca lines comprise hundreds of enormous ground drawings etched into the high desert landscape of Peru, which consist primarily of geometric shapes, but also include depictions of a variety of animals and at least one human figure.^[33] Many believers in ancient astronauts cite the Nazca lines as evidence because the figures created by the lines are most clearly depicted or only able to be seen when viewed from the air. Writing professor Joe Nickell of the University of Kentucky, using only technology he believed to be available to people of the time, was able to recreate one of the larger figures with a reasonable degree of accuracy^[34]

 Monumental architecture

Evidence for ancient astronauts is claimed to include the existence of ancient monuments and megalithic ruins such as the Giza pyramids of Egypt, Machu Picchu in Peru, or Baalbek in Lebanon, and the Moai of Easter Island.^{[citation needed]} Supporters contend these stone structures could not have been built with the technical abilities and tools of the people of the time and further argue that many could not be duplicated even today. They suggest that the large size of the building stones, the precision with which they were laid, and the distances many were transported leaves the question open as to who constructed these sites. These contentions are categorically rejected by mainstream archeology. Some mainstream archeologist have participated in experiments to move large megaliths. These experiments have succeeded in moving megaliths up to at least 40 tons, ^[35][36] and they have speculated that with a larger workforce larger megaliths could be towed with ancient technology. ^[37] Such allegations are not unique in history, however, as similar reasoning lay behind the wonder of the Cyclopean masonry walling at Mycenaean cities in the eyes of Greeks of the following "Dark Age," who believed that the giant Cyclopes had built the walls.

 Criticism

Other than the proponents' own interpretations of ancient writings and artifacts, there has yet to be found any hard evidence to support the ancient astronaut hypothesis.

Alan F. Alford, author of Gods of the New Millennium, (1996) was an adherent of the ancient astronaut theory. Much of his work draws on Sitchin’s theories. However, he now finds fault with Sitchin’s theory after deeper analysis, stating that: “I am now firmly of the opinion that these gods personified the falling sky; in other words, the descent of the gods was a poetic rendition of the cataclysm myth which stood at the heart of ancient Near Eastern religions.”^[38]

A 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine^[39] states that von Däniken plagiarized many of the book's concepts from Le Matin des Magiciens, that this book in turn was heavily influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos, and that the core of the ancient astronaut theory originates in H. P. Lovecraft's short stories "The Call of Cthulhu" and "At the Mountains of Madness".

This contact story was preserved as an oral tradition by the preliterate Tlingit, and was first recorded by anthropologist George T. Emmons over a century after its occurrence. Though framed in a Tlingit cultural and spiritual paradigm, the story remained an accurate telling of the 1786 encounter. According to Sagan, this proved how:

    …under certain circumstances, a brief contact with an alien civilization will be recorded in a reconstructable manner. The reconstruction will be greatly aided if (1) the account is committed to written record soon after the event; (2) a major change is effected in the contacted society; and (3) no attempt is made by the contacting civilization to disguise its exogenous nature." Shklovski and Sagan, p. 453
