Updated Part 1: Is There A Large Pyramid Underground Between Mt. McKinley and Nome, Alaska?

Updated with mp3 audio of interview.

“My father was 're-recruited' by the military to join a group of other experts to study and work at an underground structure in Alaska that in his words they called the‘Dark Pyramid.’”

- July 27, 2012 email to Earthfiles

“What the geologists said they found in this byline news story (Anchorage TV Channel 13) story was under Alaska, they found a pyramid bigger than the one in Egypt.”

- Douglas A. Mutschler, Chief Warrant Officer, U. S. Army Counterintelligence

Mount McKinley is north of Anchorage. Nome is upper left red circle on Norton Sound west of Mount McKinley. The region between Mount McKinley and Nome is where the large pyramid structure was allegedly found during geophysical studies of the May 22, 1992, Chinese underground detonation of a large nuclear bomb at Lop Nor.

Updated August 10, 2012 / Original Report July 27, 2012 - I continue to receive email from a wide variety of professionals with comments about the possible underground pyramid structure in Alaska between Mount McKinley and Nome said to be larger that the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. One particularly noteworthy email is dated July 27, 2012.

Part 6:  Mysterious 12,000-Years-Old Gobekli Tepe, Turkey – Was Underground Cappadocia Another Escape from Catastrophe?

“Cappadocia was a huge underground refuge, and I believe
many areas might date back thousands of years, perhaps even to the
end of the last ice age 12,000 years ago when Gobekli Tepe was constructed.”

   - Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., Geologist, Boston University

Mount Erciyes rises 12,848 feet (3,916 meters) above the Cappadocia plateau in foreground that is covered with volcanic ash mounds and “fairy houses” from this central Turkey region that had persistent volcanic eruptions millions of years ago from half a dozen volcanoes. Those continuous ancient eruptions produced the Mid-Anatolian Plateau with masses of lava and ash that are 656 feet (200 meters deep). It is possible that the Hipparion ancestor of the modern horse was killed off by all the volcanic eruptions. Image © 2012 by Linda Moulton Howe.

Part 5:  Mysterious 12,000-Years-Old Gobekli Tepe, Turkey – Another Artificial Covering Over Mount Nemrut

“Mt. Nemrut is clearly an artificial peak on top of the mountain.
It’s piled up with gravel purposefully ... of a certain size,
of a certain shape so ... it’s actually a very sophisticated pile of gravel.”

  - Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., Geologist, Boston University

 

Mount Nemrut:  37° 58' 54.0012" N, 38° 44' 27.9996" E Mount Nemrut 25 miles north of Kahta, Turkey, and north of Gobekli Tepe, is another artificially covered mountain top above large stone heads of people and animals spanning cultures of Roman, Persian, Hellenistic, and Anatolian history. The artificial mountain top rises 164 feet above the carved statues that appear to have Greek-style facial features, but Persian clothing and hairstyling. Image © 2012 by Linda Moulton Howe.

June 28, 2012  Mount Nemrut 25 miles north of Kahta, Turkey - On June 11, 2012, we traveled to see the “8th Wonder of the Ancient World,” Mount Nemrut. It's a 7,000-foot-high mountain (2,134 meters) north of Gobekli Tepe and about 25 miles (40 km) north of Kahta, Turkey. Historically, the astounding mountain burial monument disappeared from world consciousness for two thousand years until re-discovered in 1881 by a German engineer named Charles Sester, who was studying Ottoman transport routes. Then it took until 1953 for any professional archaeological research to be done.

“All the work Gobekli Tepe builders put into carving those pillars,
erecting them, erecting walls between them at a later stage... is in many
ways dwarfed by the amount of time and work and energy
they put into covering them over again.”

- Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., Geologist, Boston University

June 26, 2012  Gobekli Tepe, Turkey  - After the sun had risen to completely light up Gobekli Tepe, I interviewed geologist Robert M. Schoch, Ph.D., inside the Gobekli Tepe excavation. I asked him if given that Gobekli Tepe's creation and purpose is perhaps the greatest archaeological and historical mystery on the planet today, what does Dr. Schoch speculate happened a thousand years after the elegant, bizarre, strangely eerie pillars, totem, Urfa man and other sculptures were erected in circles over 30 hilltop acres to cause Someone to cover the whole site back over with dirt?

June 21, 2012  Gobekli Tepe 8 miles northeast of Sanliurfa, Turkey - Who made the 30 acres of elegantly carved Gobekli limestone pillars in circles? And why? More baffling, who? or what? was gathering up tons of soil and carefully piling it over the 30 acres of 19-foot-high, T-shaped limestone pillars - covering them up a thousand years after the pillars had been sculpted by Someone? These 12,000-year-old circles of limestone pillars, cemented bases and brick walls are more than twice the age of Mesopotamia! Was Gobekli being protected because Gobekli creators had foreknowledge about a coming catastrophe? The effort needed to erect so many large stone circles over some 30 acres - and then have to bury all those pillars again centuries later – is beyond understanding. What exactly was the process to re-bury all the pillars?

Part 2:  Mysterious 12,000-Years-Old Gobekli Tepe – Odd Pillar Creatures, Bizarre Totem and Mouthless Man

“The T-shaped pillars have an anthropomorphic identity. But who are they?As their faces are never depicted, they seem very likely to be related to supernatural beings, beings gathered at Gobekli Tepe for certain,
but so far unknown, purposes.”

“The First Temple of the World: Gobekli Tepe.”

June 18, 2012  Gobekli Tepe 8 miles northeast of Sanliurfa, Turkey - As the sun rose on the eastern horizon June 13, 2012, I first faced the sun and then turned 180 degrees to face the opposite point in the west. Below me in the Gobekli Tepe Section C, a large pillar is cemented to a rectangular base like an altar. On that altar-pillar is a long-bodied animal that doesn't quite match any known Earth animal today. With the sun shining on my back, that pillar animal was facing me on an east-west axis.

Part 1: Mysterious 12,000-Year-Old Gobekli Tepe

“What was so important to these early people that they gathered to build (and bury) the stone rings? The gulf that separates us from Gobekli Tepe's builders is almost unimaginable.”

- Smithsonian Reporter Andrew Curry

12,000-year-old circles of limestone pillars each weighing from 10 to 20 metric tons or more have been excavated in Gobekli Tepe, Turkey, about 9 miles (15 km) northeast of Sanliurfa, formerly known as Urfa or Edessa. More than twice the age of Mesopotamia, 40 standing T-shaped columns have so far been revealed in four circles between 30 feet and 98 feet (10 to 30 meters) in diameter. Ground-penetrating radar indicates there are still 250 more pillars buried in 16 circles extending over another 22 acres of the 30-acre Neolithic site. Image © 2008 by Haldun Aydingun.

June 16, 2012  Gobekli Tepe 8 miles northeast of Sanliurfa, Turkey - On Wednesday, June 13, 2012, as the sun rose I was standing on the Gobekli Tepe hilltop in southern Turkey not far from the Syrian northern border. Carbon dated to 12,000 years ago, Gobekli is older than Egypt, Sumeria, classical Greeks and Stonehenge. Ramps have been built to walk around the archaeological excavations of mysterious 10 to 19-foot-tall, elegantly carved limestone pillars placed carefully in circular patterns. There are at least 30 acres of the pillar circles a thousand feet above the valley floor. Each pillar weighs 10 to 20 metric tons. Many are sculpted with odd, even unrecognizable, animals, insects and humanoid figures to be detailed in Part 2. A few unfinished pillars have been found that are 23 to 30 feet long, much larger than any of the finished standing pillars found so far. There is evidence that the pillars were roofed and that the central pair of tallest pillars may have supported a roof. The floors are made of burnt lime, similar to Roman terrazzo. The limestone slabs were quarried from bedrock pits located around 100 meters (330 ft) from the Gobekli hilltop.

Malta’s 6,000-Year-Old Hypogeum – Built to Alter Minds with Sound?

“There is a niche carved at the back of the Hypogeum oracle room
chamber that seems like a deliberate amplification channel for throwing sound.”

Updated May 6, 2012 / Original April 27, 2012   Sarasota, Florida - At the center of the Mediterranean Sea between Palermo at the tip of Italy and Tunisia in northern Africa is an ancient island complex known as Malta. It's entire land mass is only 122 square miles, making it one of the world's smallest states. About 6,000 years ago, people there built extraordinary megaliths and temples, including the world's oldest known freestanding structure completely underground known as the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum.

Purdue Univ. Reports Clothianidin At “Unprecedented Levels” in U. S. Is “Highly Toxic to Honey Bees” 

- “We've been subjected to nine years of this carnage to protect Bayer's market share.”

- Tom Theobald, Owner, Niwot Honey Farm, Colorado

- “Neonicotinoid insecticides in 2012 will be in nearly 200 million acres of annual U. S. crops. ... 2 or 3 billionths of a gram of clothianidin - if it is fed to the bees in sugar solution - is a lethal dose.”

- Christian H. Krupke, Ph.D., Entomologist, Purdue Univ.

Honey bees fly through Indiana corn tassels accumulating clothianidin-contaminated pollen on their bodies. Clothianidin is a neurotoxin that in miniscule amounts kills honey bees. Image by Peacebeefarm.

Published January 3, 2012, PLoS One.

April 27, 2012  West Lafayette, Indiana - Commercial honey bee colonies and wild pollinators are in serious decline worldwide. Entomologist Christian Krupke, Ph.D., at Purdue University knows that neurotoxins such as the nicotine-based insecticide clothianidin can kill honey bees after the smallest exposures. He also knows that the the number of acres in the United States now being planted with clothianidin-coated seeds is the largest on record - some 200 million acres. And in a January 3, 2012, research article for the science journal PLoS ONE, he explained that “virtually all of the corn seed planted in North America is coated with neonicotinoid insecticides, such as clothianidin and thiamethoxam.”

What Was Mysterious Dark Circle Near Sun?

“As part of coronal mass ejections (CME) from quiet Sun regions (not from magnetically active regions with sunspots in them), we believe there often is a big sausage-shaped structure floating above the solar surface, underneath which a curtain of cool, dense material exists.”
