Ancient Canal Builders

Updated August 28, 2022

I had initially published this article in April of 2011 but discovered in 2022 that the site by John Jensen* was no longer available. It categorized many hidden canals and ports in North America, shifting our view from what we think we know about America to a whole new and radically different perspective of pre-historic civilizations on the North American continent.

My personal belief from all the articles, books, and research I’ve seen is that the North American content suffered a catastrophe that affected the whole world around 12-13,000 years ago. That the reason North America seemed so behind the rest of the world, civilization-wise was that so much had been destroyed that only myths and legends survived. The Hopi’s Ant People who saved them by going into a mountain underground is one such story.

Here are some additional sites I’ve found that have some research on ancient canals:

*I have not been able to find any activities of John Jensen but was able to pull information from his archived website on the Wayback Machine and will try to archive a copy of his content myself. His Ancient Canals website is now a gambling site and his Facebook page is some other business.

Atlantis and The Eye of the Sahara (Richat Structure)

One of the tenants of my “First Earth” theory is that humans had risen in the ancient past vs. aliens ‘seeding’ our planet (and/or giving us the technology to advance). Some believe our history is much more vast than ever thought before. In other words, “WE are the aliens we’ve been looking for.”

I LOVE the idea of Atlantis. How so many places along the Atlantic Ocean have the letters “ATL” and some even have the ‘S” sound. While the only documented instance of Atlantis is in Plato’s dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias,” where a recounting of a story by his grandfather who had heard it from an Athenian statesman 300 years before Plato’s time. It was said that Atlantis had become so unethical that by divine power it was swallowed by the oceans in a day and a night some 9,600 B.C. (or nearly 12,000 years ago). (source: history.com/folklore/atlantis)

Two striking things:

  1. Scholars say the story was a metaphor as many texts have used to show what happens when a civilization is in decline or ‘sinful.’ How a divine power strikes down cities and civilizations that go down evil or selfish paths.
  2. Researchers have discovered ruins after ruins dating back 12,000 and evidence of a global catastrophe that caused the planet to go into a 1000-year mini-ice age at the end of the Younger Dryas. (Golbekli Tepe and Boncuklu Tarla to name a few in Turkey)

Atlantis was said to have been built in a series of concentric circles with mountains to the north and east emptying into a bay for ships to travel. Many people have tried to find this structure to no avail. Maybe it was a volcanic island that sank. Perhaps warming temperatures caused the oceans to rise and in the instance of Atlantis something caused that city to be covered in ‘a day and a night.’

Enter a few ideas, theories, and findings;

  1. Evidence that a comet or asteroid hit the northern hemisphere in North America and northern Europe at the end of the Younger Dryas some 12,000. (see The case of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis)
  2. Evidence of global flooding radiates from the northern hemisphere where tidal waves could have reached miles in height. Additionally, these waves would have then flooded backward after reaching far inland.
  3. The Clovis Paleo-Indian Culture of the Western Hemisphere, most mammals, and fauna became extinct nearly 12,000 years ago
  4. The Richat Structure’s (or Eye of the Sahara) location and satellite imagery show massive flooding from the northeast to the southwest that would have easily destroyed anything there.

When it comes to the Richart Structure, a natural structure in the Sahara), some believe it is the origin of the Atlanteans who built it. But geologists say it is a natural structure. But skeptics believe it HAD to be man-made because the Atlanteans BUILT Atlantis with their advanced technology. OR MAYBE ALIENS! GASP!

Here’s a thought (and I’m not the only one who has said it):
The Atlanteans found an amazing natural formation and decided to build on that spot (much like explorers who have built cities in locations that were scenic, interesting land formations, and where rivers joined.) “Hey, Bob! Would you look at THAT!” “Wow, Atlas. It’s three rings of land at the base of some waterfalls. How cool.” “Yeah. We should build a city there.” “Dibs! We’ll call it… Atlantis!”

Just more meandering thoughts. Gotta find evidence, but hard-pressed to find it if it’s all been washed away 12,000 years ago.

China: Miner Found Alive After 17 Years Underground

Due to a mining collapse during an earthquake, Cheung Wai, a 59-year old survivor from the 1997 accident, was trapped underground.

“Somehow lucky in his misfortune, Mr. Cheung was saved by the fact that some ventilation duct still connected his underground prison to the surface, allowing him access to air that was  sufficiently pure to keep him alive. He managed to survive thanks to an emergency stash of rice and water, stored in an underground depot, conceived especially for this kind of case. The man complemented his diet by catching and eating the countless rats that pullulate in the mine, as well as collecting large quantities of some sort of phosphorescent moss, which constituted his only source of vitamins.”

How long could people survive if they MEANT to stay underground and prepared for it?

Ant People of First Earth

Ant People of First Earth

Ant People of First Earth

This is another area I’ve always considered ever since I first heard about the Hopi Ant People mythology stories.

You see, it was the Ant People who sheltered humans underground during the destruction of the First World according to Hopi legend.

Here is a GREAT passage of the myth that reinforces the idea that there was once a great solar disaster in our past:

So the people went down to live with the Ant People. When they were all safe and settled, Taiowa commanded Soyuknang to destroy the world. Soyuknang destroyed it by fire because the Fire Clan had been it’s leaders. He rained fire upon it. He opened up the volcanoes. Fire came from above and below and all around until the Earth, the waters, the air, all was one element: fire. And then there was nothing left except the people safe inside the womb of the Earth.

This was the end of Tokpela, the First World.”

ant-head Now, to me, if you enlarge a picture of an ant’s head, it looks just like a gas mask. So it occurred to me, that THIS is the reason we all went underground and why so many mythologies speak of ‘man created from earth’ or ‘people being led from the caves to learn the ways of agriculture.’ All of this as if we were primitive and needed help.

However, a global disaster would have had people hiding for many years and they would have needed help from the industrious Ant People who… if the stories were true… would have needed gas masks in a world where volcanoes spewed lava and sulphur. Heck, you would have needed masks just to breathe after a global fire.

On one of the Izu Islands, an island called Izu Oshima is a place where three tectonic plates meet and the island’s air is filled with sulphur. In fact, it has the highest concentration of sulphur on earth (according to the two sources I found). They all live with gas masks on (or very close by). They are also paid for scientific research to do so.

Hmmm. Why is someone doing research to see the effects of living with a gas mask on all your life.

Me thinks some people are working on being prepared.

One Tip for the Future… Sunscreen.

One Tip for the Future… Sunscreen.

One Tip for the Future… Sunscreen.

One reason I started the First Earth blog, was simply to keep track of things that were coming together a creating a picture in my mind. While I believe in the statistical probability of alien life, I’ve never seen hard evidence that proved it to me adequately. And the thought of how some other advanced race will someday appear and ‘save us’ (or has in the past) causes me to ask the question of the individual, “What church do/did you belong to?”

Statistically, I’ve discovered they were raised in a conservative church and, in my opinion, have traded saviors. But not always. Additionally, I have watched nearly all the Ancient Alien television shows, and throughout my life read and watched many other sources about aliens. And, as I’ve said, I have never seen any proof. What I did see was a pattern of the loss of some ancient civilization that has since disappeared. Nearly all mythology has stories of an advanced age or ‘golden age’ as well as how mankind was either created from earth, pulled from the earth, or come out from caves to be given enlightenment and/or knowledge. And setting aside aliens and literal translations of ancient texts, the pattern was one of a near “Extinction Level Event” that changed the face of the earth. An event that took thousands of years for mankind to recover from and rebuild. Forgotten Civilization by Dr. Robert Schoch

After reading a sci-fi novel titled Sunstorm by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter, it all made sense. And within a short time later, I discovered, bought, and devoured Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future by Dr. Robert Schoch. Being more of a creative person who sees patterns, Dr. Schoch’s book is a goldmine of theories, research, proof, and resources. He takes us on a journey through the Earth’s past and is able to show how the sun is “not-so-eternal” after all. From cave paintings to the rocks of the planet to newly found 12,000-year-old ruins, the evidence is clear that at least one ancient civilization has existed before on our planet.

When he originally dated the Sphinx at being closer to 9,000 years old, Dr. Schoch challenged the paradigms and beliefs of the age of civilization and the development of mankind. Ever since more and more evidence has proven him to be right.

Don’t be fooled, this book is not about scaring people into finding holes to go live in and prepare for the upcoming solar storm, but rather a well thought out observation of what has happened and what may still happen. I highly recommend this book. Not for the reasons I was searching for answers, but rather for the amazing research, theories, and journeys he describes. You’ll ‘visit’ the Sphinx in Egypt, Gobelki Tepe in southern Turkey, the statues of Easter Island, and time travel to various points in history across the globe. Science AND adventure! “But trust me on the sunscreen…”

 

Are There “Forbidden Zones” from the Past?

Are There “Forbidden Zones” from the Past?

Are There “Forbidden Zones” from the Past?

What would a warning from 10,000 years ago look like?

aztecalendarstoneWhen I was young, my dad did a lot of artistic things. Painted. Carved. Word working. Cartoons. And, one item I still have that he made was a copy of a Mayan calendar. Now, this was WAY back in the 70s before it was hip to do 2012 stuff. It now being 2013, and seeing as how the world didn’t end, it rests on one of my fireplace mantles.

What always struck me about this sculpture was the figure in the center. It was scary looking. And it looked, overall, like the sun sticking it’s tongue out at us all.

When I did further research, according to Crystal Links Metaphysics and Science Website, I discovered that the center was “Tonatiuh’s Face is the face of the sun, Lord of Heaven, around which takes place all daily and periodic phenomena.” Additionally, the tongue was originally stuck out in the “form of an obsidian knife, (and) indicates that the diety demands to be fed with blood and human hearts.”

What if all the ruins with scary sculptures, strange garish symbols, or even all the ‘sacrifice’ images are warnings NOT to go mucking about?

un-radioactive_warning_signToday, we have a few warning signs of our own. Especially for one of the most deadly toxins on the planet: radioactive material. But is it easy to tell it’s dangerous? Couldn’t this one warning symbolize the “From the pyramids of earth, rays of the all seeing One in heaven ordered the god of the underworld, Crossbones, to force man to hurl spears as offerings.”

Um. What? No? Well, why not?

With hardly anything older than 12,000 years old still standing that has been created by man, and radioactive material remaining toxic for around 100,000 years, something has to be done to warn the poor citizens of the future!

102,013 AD: Finland, Earth

Currently in Finland, such an endeavor is underway. On the northwest coast, they are building a more than 3 mile-long tunnel over 1,300 feet down to the bedrock, where a series of vaults interconnect. The site is named Onkalo (meaning “hiding place”). And how are they marking this site? A documentary can be seen about all the aspects that are going into construction and the idea of permanence titled Into Eternity. The main message they are trying to leave behind is, “We have built a place that is here to protect you. You should not live here.”

Right. Archeologists in 2-3,000 years from now, or longer, will find something like this and go, “COOL! Let’s dig this sucker up! It must have been important to spend all that effort on!” (Insert modern day ‘facepalm’).

In the 1990s, we had the same issues in the United States. Steve Rose of The Guardian wrote, “they came up with proposals for environments that communicated threat and hostility. They imagined landscapes of giant, spiky, black thorns or menacing, jagged earthworks, or vast concrete blocks creating narrow streets that lead nowhere.”

Other Warnings

Could areas across the globe that seem to send navigation systems into spasms be some ancient magnetic storage system that was sunk into the bottom of the ocean? The Bermuda Triangle, the Devils Triangle in the Pacific, or the many other areas where strange phenomena occur across the globe, could be waste from a bygone era we don’t recall.

What other symbols have we mistaken that may actually be warnings from the past? I’ve just finished reading a book and will be sharing some insights and do a review on it soon!
