Pharaoh “Ratut,” his queen, and their young friend and constant companion Rahotep, often went hunting in the Theban neighbourhood. In those days the great morass attracted and harboured large quantities of game. The marshes provided the boy king with all kinds of wildfowl. The desert afforded a varied field for the skill of the royal sportsman, who hunted in his chariot. Bulls, lions, gazelles, and hares were his favourite game.

One day in the spring of 1350 B.C., when Pharaoh was nineteen years of age, he was on a hunting trip with his devoted wife and Rahotep. He came in from the hunt, riding vigorously into camp in his chariot, which prominently displayed the royal golden solar-hawk on its poles. “Ratut’s” name was incorporated on the solar disc fixed on the head of the hawk. Since the Pharaohs were looked upon as the sun-god’s earthly representatives, it is obvious that this device symbolized Ratut’s “solar” (space) origin!

The young ruler had slain a lion this day, aided by his slughi hound, and he was excited; excited as any teenager would be over such a conquest. However, these hunting expeditions on the desert were not all that they appeared to be. It was partially for relaxation, true, but it was also to get away from teeming Thebes and be able to meet with certain visitors and officials without being under the suspicious eyes of the Amun priests!

“Pharaoh looked at his friends before him and said: “I have loved you, even as you have loved me. I go now to my Father Aton; my work is finished here in the land of Egypt. . . my heart has found peace, for, at last, the Solar Disc [Aton] is satisfied!” And Pharaoh died!

Later, gangs of workmen descended on the half empty Akhetaton. Wherever they found the name and features of Akhnaton and Nefretiti in tombs, temples, and private houses, they obliterated them. The Temple of Aton was thrown down and buried.

Akhnaton had written: “There shall be made for me a sepulchre in the Orient Mountain; my burial shall be [made] therein in the multitude of jubilees which Aton my Father hath ordained for me; and the burial of the chief wife of the king, Nefretiti, shall be made therein in that multitude of years.. . [and the burial of] the king’s daughter Meritaton shall be made in it in that multitude of years.”

He gave orders that on his death he should be buried “in my sepulchre in the Eastern Mountain.” There is a great wadi which interrupts a line of cliffs and which leads to the solitary Royal Tomb. There is no inscription above the entrance. A sloping passage and a steep flight of steps lead to the burial pit where a sarcophagus once lay. Beyond is a hall with reliefs showing the royal family worshipping the Aton. Opening from the top of the stairs are smaller tomb chambers which were made for Princess Maketaton, the first of the seven daughters to die.

Historians believe that the body found in the so-called Tomb of Queen Tiyi in the Royal Valley at Thebes was that of Akhnaton. From inscriptional and physiological evidence it can be established that this body, which is that of a man of not more than thirty, is the body of Smenkhkare. (more…)

“As time went on in Akhetaton, more and more people came to love Akhnaton. The Amun priesthood realized that if they were ever to regain any power whatsoever, they would have to strike quickly. They bargained with General Horemheb, who was ruling as Governor of Memphis, because they needed the strength of the army to achieve their purpose.

In 1365 B.C. Akhnaton’s rule was strong because of the love of the people, but it was weak because of internal strife caused by the increasing power of Egypt’s enemies. Pharaoh refused to fight a war, “holy” or otherwise. Horemheb tried to convince Akhnaton that he should fight for the sake of Aton if nothing else. But he was told that Aton is not a god of war and does not want his children to kill one another. Horemheb agreed with the Amun priests: Akhnaton had to be eliminated if Egypt’s empire was to be saved. Another new threat were weapons of iron used by the Hittites. The Egyptian army only had spears and swords of copper.

Ay was the “Bearer of Pharaoh’s Crook” in Thebes and ruled it as governor. Ay was very concerned over the state of affairs— the growing tension, and Horemheb’s obvious pact with Amunism. But the priests did not want to put a cheese-maker’s son on the proudest throne in the world. They hoped the surviving Amunhoteps could be persuaded to act as figure-heads for the priesthood. They knew the people would accept those of royal blood; but a cheese-maker’s son for Pharaoh—never! (more…)

The Eighteenth Dynasty, Egypt’s Imperial Age, had begun with Ahmose I, a Theban princeling. Thutmose III had salvaged the great treasures of Solomon’s Temple in Israel. Now, the heart of all mankind was ready to receive the WORD as it dawned in Egypt as the blazing ATON. Aton’s servant on earth was to be Amunhotep IV, known to the world as Akhnaton, the “heretic” Pharaoh.

Amunhotep II ascended the throne in 1447 B.C. and died in 1420 B.C. His son, Thutmose IV, succeeded him in 1420 B.C., and ruled until 1412 B.C. This Thutmose and a Mitannian princess were the parents of Amunhotep III (“The Magnificent”). Amunhotep II (the Pharaoh who was buried with his famous bow which no other man was strong enough to use) was the grandfather of Amunhotep III.

After the seventh year of his reign (1405 B.C.), “The Magnificent” never again led his armies out of Thebes, but spent the rest of his life living in peace in his capital with his chief wife, the Great Royal Wife, Queen Tiyi. Tiyi was the uncultured, outspoken daughter of a commoner from Lower Egypt, but she had caught the fancy of young Amunhotep III and he loved her more than any other woman. Over the advice of his mentors, he made her the greatest and most powerful woman in Egypt. (more…)

The Sunken City Features Giant Pyramids and Sphinxes

I. The report

Two scientists, Paul Weinzweig and Pauline Zalitzki, working off the coast of Cuba and using a robot submersible, have confirmed that a gigantic city exists at the bottom of the ocean.

The site of the ancient city — that includes several sphinxes and at least four giant pyramids plus other structures — amazingly sits within the boundries of the fabled Bermuda Triangle.

According to a report by Arclein of Terra Forming Terra, Cuban Subsea Pyramid Complex, the evidence points to the city being simultaneously inundated with rising waters and the land sinking into the sea. This correlates exactly with the Atlantis legend.

The disaster may have occurred at the end of the last Ice Age. As the Arctic icecap catastrophically melted it caused sea levels to rise quickly around the world, especially affecting the Northern Hemisphere. Coast lines changed; land was lost; islands (even island continents) disappeared. (more…)

Prehistory literally means the time “before we had written records” (roughly the time before the 4th Century BC) and ancient history is the time since our recorded history. Our concept of ancient history was originally firmly determined by the bible. Written from an insular point of view, the histories of some ancient cultures were distorted, badly neglected or even omitted. The existence of inexplicable monuments, certain man-made marvels and archaeological finds pertaining to our ancient- and prehistory, are leading more and more archaeologists to believe long forgotten advanced civilizations existed. As most of our ancient records were lost during the destruction of the great libraries, the following genuine mysteries are the only remnants of their existence. (more…)

The Hawaiian Islands and Pacific Islands are the remaining mountain peaks of the lost continent. One of the most prominent researchers on Lemuria, James Churchward, in books such as The Lost Continent of Mu (1931), wrote that the Motherland stretched from the Hawaiian Islands to Fiji and from Easter Island to the Marianas. He considered the Nan Modal site on Pohnpei Island one of the seven sacred cities of Mu. Today its ruins sit on a swampy lagoon filled with mangrove trees. Rising about 30 feet in height, black volcanic stones weighing tons are stacked crisscross like a child’s frontier fort. Reportedly Lemuria or Mu – was about 5,000 miles long, 3,000 miles wide, a tropical paradise like the Garden of Eden. By studying various ancient texts Churchward discovered the existence of a long lost continent with an advanced civilization that 60,000 years ago had sunk below the Pacific Ocean after a cataclysmic earthquake. He believes 64 million died when it sank beneath the ocean.

Detailed maps of the lost continents Mu and Atlantis were found on stone tablets from Pre-Inca, Peru, by Dr. Javier Cabrera, engraved in stone and photographed by Robert Charroux. United Nations diplomat Farida Iskoviet, came to Maui in 1972 and researched Lemurian ruins and history and concluded that they were real. One of Hawaii’s leading authorities on Lemurian research was Sgt. Williard Wannall from Army Intelligence in Oahu. In a Top Secret project in Naval Intelligence in 1972 he reported that ruins of a submerged Lemurian city are between Maui and Oahu. (more…)

Not long ago, a technologically advanced human civilization thrived on Earth. This was Atlantis, the real Atlantis, not a mythological story. Here—documented for the first time with new scientific data—is the true story of their demise. They were not undone because of a natural cataclysm. Rather, through the reckless misuse of their own science, they destroyed their civilization. Only a few thousand people survived, and everyone on Earth today is related to that same small group of survivors.This is a breakthrough scientific study that combines the use of remote viewing, U.S. government originating underwater imaging data, a touch of genetic knowledge, and a hefty amount of open-minded thinking. Remote viewing is a mental procedure that was originally developed by the United States military and used for espionage purposes. Now, civilians employ the same methods, or procedures that are derivative of those methodologies, to study human history. Using remote-viewing data collected by two of the most accomplished “military grade” remote viewers of the day, the true story of what happened when Atlantis collapsed is told with striking detail and clarity.Forget what you learned in school about human civilization being a recent phenomenon. All that you see today, all the wonders of human achievement, have all been done before. And it all ended very badly.This time, we need to learn from our past mistakes. We humans have a complicated history on this planet. We need to discover that history, not censor it, if we are to be a species with a destiny. Let us begin that process of discovery here, today, now. (more…)
