(Pernambuco state, Brazil)

According to archaeologists from the Faculdade Estadual da Paraiba (State of Paraíba Faculty) and of the Institute of Geosciences from Federal University of Minas Gerais, the rocks - in themselves -  have over 600 million years.

The engravings have various formats, many geometric and in spirals. Some show everyday situations. The researcher Genivaldo Nascimento - warned the Federal Public Ministery  about the importance of the finding. Genivaldo reported that the major concern of scientists is the preservation of the site, which is completely exposed to vandalism. 

The mayor of Petrolina city, Julio Lossio, reported that measures to protect the site are being taken. We prepared a decree to take care of that area. We  also already we reported the discovery to the Ministry of Culture, which takes care of the archaeological finds and to the Federal Police, that has the assignment of protecting national archaeological sites.

BRAZIL. STATE OF PIAUÍ. ARCHAEOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY.  Researchers from the Museu do Homem Americano (Fumdham, Museum of American Man) found a cemetery with 12 human skeletons with approximately 3,500 years each one. The discovery  occured in one of about 800 archaeological sites of the Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara, distant 540 km from Teresina city, state capital.

The first discoveries were made in March,  2013-  when a team of archaeologists was preparing another 10 sites for visitation when they perceived the evidence of a skeleton: was boy and could to have about a year, when he was buried (photos).

The bodies were buried in simple graves and funerary urns, and most of the bones belong to children, according to archaeologist Tania Santana.

More precisely, the cemetery is located at a place known as 'Toca do Gongo, a place that - since the year of 1970 - already has a history of harboring ancient tombs. So far, there are seven skeletons found in 12 graves. 

While the boy's bones has being scrutinized, the other six exemplars, that still are in into urns - will be worked out in laboratory.

The discovery of this cemetery is important  because there are few records of graves at Serra da Capivara. This complicates the study of nations who demonstrably occupied the area along tens of thousands of year.

The new material collected will allow researchers to stablish comparative studies about the different cultures that lived in the park and by this way begin to identify and recognize them.

Beside the skeletons, also were found various lithic materials, rocks and minerals that may to have been used in various ways, which were collected and cataloged in the Fumdham's  laboratory.

The Parque Nacional da Capivara is an area which reachs the municipalities of Canto do Buriti, Coronel José Dias, São João do Piauí and, especially, the the territories around São Raimundo Nonato city.  

Since the 1970s, studies have confirmed that the man's presence in Serra da Capivara dates of 50,000 years, the oldest records discovered in America even now.

BRAZIL - The Mirrors of Heaven of Rondonia

RONDONIA/BRAZIL. There around 100 km from Alta Floresta do Oeste cit (this, located distant 540 km Porto Velho (North region of Brazil), capital of Rondonia state, in a place called "cachoeira pequena" of rio Consuelo (small watterfall of Consuelo river), the brazilian independent researcher Joaquim Cunha Silva discovered a structure that is being called Altar Cerimonial Sagrado de Paititi (Sacred cerimonial altar of Paititi).

The found, that already was notified to the governamental authorities, shown to be an archaeological complex that includes, more than the Altar, residencial buildings, vast areas of planting, prepared, as agricultural terraces, funerary space and an enigmatic stone colossus, an elevation topographic with pyramidal form on top of which stands a figure zoomorphic which some identify as a giant condor. The native South Americans of western Amazon region call this place Huaca del Condor (below).

Since 2009, Joaquim Cunha Silva performs incursions in the region in search of geoglyphs and other cultural connections between the extreme northern Brazil and the peoples of the interior and the west coast of the continent, like the Andean and Arawak (Andinos and Aruaques).  

The discovery of Paititi's Altar is, in deed, an important evidence of the close relations among the south-americans nations in a wide territory of this part of the continent, situated below Equator line. 

Those kind of cavities on the rocks were found before in many countries of spanish Latin America, like Peru and Colombia - being the first, famous for its tradition to be the cradle of a great and mysterious civilization. According the Italian-Peruvian physicist and historical researcher Enrico Mattievich* :

The altar of Rondonia, with circular depressions dug into a huge stone slab, is very old and can be up to thousands of years... Several other stone altars were found ... I think these altars or "Mirror of Heaven" are related with the Kernos,  huge circular stone with 34 circular depressions found in the Palace of Malia, Crete, dedicated to the cult of fertility.

* ENRICO MATTIEVICH. Born in 1938 in the Italian city of Fiume, now Rijeka - Croatia. In 1949 he emigrated to Peru with her parents. He began his higher studies in Physics and Mathematics at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima, where he was Professor of Experimental Physics.

Brazil Inca: The Celestial Mirrors of Rondonia 

[http://brazilweirdnews.blogspot.com.br/2013/08/the-mirrors-of-heaven-of-rondonia.html]

PARAIBA state. BRAZIL. At the northeast region of Brazil, distant 87 km from de Joao Pessoa, capital of the state of Paraiba, nearby the city of Ingá, in Sierra Borborema, on the banks of the river Inga, (ancient river Bacamarte) - exists a great archaelogical site. There, is found a one of the most mysterious monuments of the Humanity history. It is the Inga Stone.

The grest wall of gneiss's rock, dating of 6,000 years, with 46 meters of long by 3,8 meter of height, is covered with figures and signs which meaning is unknown by the archaeologists and anthropologists that examined them.

Some of these singns are astonishing, like a cross, a skull, a rose and a strange form that seems an aircraft.

Details of the inscriptions

The origins of this rock engravings are controversial: some belive that they can has been made by unknown natives of the primitive South America but, the elaborated forms and their ordenation has sugested that the sequence can be a kind of document, like a hieroglyphical scripture.

By this, has been cogitated the presence, in a remote past, of ancient navigators nations that, eventualy, arrived to the continental coast and explored the lands of the region. This hipothesis, postulates the Phoenicians, for example, like being the authors of the panel. But the symbols are not phoenicians, that possessed their own alphabet.

Some signs of Inga's Stone resemble to ancient runes, the writing method of the culture of the called - northern barbarians.

No one knows how, by whom or for what motives were made the inscriptions on the rock. Various sources have been identified, and there are many who argue that the Stone of Inga has Phoenician origin. Fr Ignatius Rolim, for example, professor of Theology, 

Greek and Latin, who lived in the nineteenth century, was one of the first defenders and promoters of these theses, making analogies between the symbols written on the stone of Inga and characters from Phoenician writing.

The austrian researcher, Ludwig Schwennhagen, in the early twentieth century, toured various parts of the Northeast' hinterlands [of Brazil] - studying traces of the supposed presence of Phoenicians in this region. Besides numerous articles, he came to write the book "Ancient History of Brazil," not only associating the inscriptions of Inga with the Phoenicians, but also with the demotic writing of Egypt.

There is also a stream that holds that the signs of Inga were extraterrestrial engineering work. The president of the Centro Paraibano de Ufologia, Claudio Quintans, suggested that an alien spacecraft landed in the region of the Inga Stone. Another researcher, Gilvan de Brito, in the book "Viagem ao Desconhecido" ("Journey to the Unknown"), says that in the Inga's Stone exist formulas of the production of quantum energy and even mathematical including equations that might indicate the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

However, until today it was not possible to say, conclusively - who were the authors of the signs and what are and what the meaning - of the sequence of signs of the monument. Researchers connected to the branch of archeology, as DENNIS MOTA and VANDERLEY DE BRITO * - argue that the inscriptions have been made by primitive communities inhabiting the region, using stone chisels to carve the signs in the rock, about 6000 years ago.

HITTITES - THE RESEARCH OF GABRIELE BARALDI

30/09/2012

However, no reportage about the Inga's Stone can be complete without mentioning the work of independent archaeologist and scholar of ancient languages, the italian Gabriele D'Annunzio Baraldi (1938-2002).

Baraldi is, possibly, the only researcher who has reached a robust conclusion about the origin of the subscriptions in the Inga panel. Plus, he produced one - and this is the unique known - translation of the sequence using a science called Epigraphy ¹, combining methods from three experts ² in a compared study.

(1) Epigraphy (from the Greek: literally "on-writing", "inscription") is the study of inscriptions or epigraphs as writing; it is the science of identifying graphemes, clarifying their meanings, classifying their uses according to dates and cultural contexts, and drawing conclusions about the writing and the writers. Specifically excluded from epigraphy are the historical significance of an epigraph as a document and the artistic value of a literary composition. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigraphy]

(2) Emmanuel Laroche - french, expert of ancient Anatolian languages - 1914-1991. Piero Meriggi italian, 1899-1982. Hans Gustav Güterbock, German-American Hittitologist, 1908-2000.

Based on these studies, Baraldi, that studied the Inga's Stone since 1988, developed his theory presented in the book The American Hittites which, as the name suggests, postulates the presence of the Hittites in Brazilian lands in a historical period very remote.

The key of the translation, made ​​by Baraldi, was the identification of the Tupy-Guarany, the native language by the Brazilian natives with a language called proto-hittita. According to the researcher, the proto-hittita was spoken and written in the mythical civilization of the Atlanteans, there about 50,000 years.

Reprudution of the a set of inscriptions of the Inga' Stone.

Many symbols of the Inga's monolith are similar to those found in Turkey, in ancient Anatolia of the Hittites. A series of inscriptions speak of a "borders war" between two sovereigns of mesopotamic origin. Another story tells about a terrible volcanic eruption. The ashes covered a stone city on the Atlantic coast, similar to what happened in Pompeii and Herculaneum. (BARALDI, 2009 - Reproduction of interview)

The similarities between the characters of rongorongo, writing system of Easter Island, with the signs of the Inga Stone.

Baraldi explains that the Hittites - that inhabited in the highlands of Anatolia (now Turkey) since 2.500 BC - developed a very advanced civilization technically, but also mentally and spiritually. In his chronicles - they registered the occurrence of a catastrophe very old: annihilation of a large archipelago situated in the middle of the Atlantic ocean current. 

Descendants of the inhabitants of these islands, including, Poseidonis, the seat of the Atlantis kingdom, took refuge in various parts of the world, as in Mesopotamia. However, the dispersion arrived to many other places, as the east and west coasts of South America.

The hieroglyphs of Inga's Stone that - according the researcher, can be dated between 1.374 and 1.332 BC, resemble with inscriptions found in the Canary Islands, in the Easter island (the writing system Rongo Rongo-) or in the slopes and mosaics of Heraklion (or Candia on the island of Crete)

Mosaic in Heraklion.

Another controversial point about inscriptions of the panel of Inga is the method used to produce them. While archaeologists Orthodox insist that in the use of chisels made ​​of stone by natives, G. Baraldi presents another hypothesis: the Hittites... dominating the use of geothermal energy, produced the hieroglyphics, using molds and mechanical pressure on layers of lava (or stone) semi melted - (in liquefied state), natural or artificially. 

Baraldi based this idea on the fact that the signs of Inga are traced with precise contours - very well made​​ and they are preserved despite the ravages of time and natural forces, like the waters of the Ingá river that, periodically, rise up, submerging part of the monument. In fact, during the rainy season the great monolith is partially covered by water. (FONSECA, 2008).

RIGHT: The Ingá version of Orion constellation.

Petroglyphs in the dry river bed.

But the inscriptions are not only found in the great wall of rock. During the drought, the riverbed - dry - reveals numerous petroglyphs equally enigmatic. Among these, there are small depressions forming a group that, by its configuration, was called astronomical board. The marks are capsular points and signs that seem to be related to each other representing a constellation. Some scholars associate this set to the Orion constellation.

ABOUT GABRIELI D'ANNUNZIO BARALDI

Gabriele D'Annunzio Baraldi nasceu em San Próspero - Modena, Itália em 1938. Em 1950, mudou-se com a família para a Argentina onde, em Buenos Aires, formou-se bacharel em Filosofia e Letras. Posteriormente, fixou residência definitiva em São Paulo, Brasil.

Independent researcher, interested archaeological mysteries, deepened this field of research. He studied ancient languages ​​and visited many archaeological sites in the world.

New Informations and Photos of the Machine Dated in 400 Million Years

The reel in an ancient rock: an anachronistic visin.

RUSSIA. In 2009 (?), the LAI (Laboratory of Alternate History) received a letter with photos very interesting. The author of the photographs was Alex Gobulev. In the images obtained near the town of Serpukhov Sarakseevo the outskirts of Moscow - a stone that did seem to have a normal aspect, terrain, but containing, encrusted at its core, a screw.

The stone, originally much larger, was extracted and fragmented to be used in constructions of the village. A research group of the an institution - a private and independent NGO - the International Research Center for Cosmic Research of Russia or simply Kosmopoisk (chaired by aerospace engineer Vadim A. Chernobrov) which at the time was investigating the alleged fall of a meteorite in the region, near the city of Kaluga, was called to examine the discovery.

The first avaliation, indicated that the rock was very old and in one of the pieces, realy, was incrusted a small object, with the size of few more of one centimeter. It was surprisingly similar to a screw or a coil of metal. And there was another object in other fragment of rock, a reel. It was an anachronistic vision.

The screw

The stone with the screw and several other fragments of the same material were delivered to a specialist Paleontological Institute. In the analysis, dozens of scientists from various areas analyzed the material. And there were also other foreign objects that were revealed fossilized through exposure to X-ray.

The stone with the screw and several other fragments of the same material were delivered to a Paleontological Institute. In the analysis, dozens of scientists from various areas analyzed the material. And there were also other strange fossilized objects that were revealed through exposure to X-ray. Like the reel...

The details increase to the mystery: the "screw" nd reel are clearly deposited or placed (contained) in empty cavities. The process of fossilization has not filled the void surrounding. The spaces that containing them, have are well-delineated and, in the case of the reel, is possible see its rounded ends.

The lithology (geological science of rocks) determined the age of the original block rocky. Between 300 and 320 million years ago. 

Around the screw, there was deposits of other materials, which were identified as fossilized remains of marine organisms belonging to an ancient geological period, extremely indented: are crinoids, called Lilies of Sea. This reinforces and confirms the datation of the rocks. The finding became then something inexplicable.

The crinoids are echinoderms that are not move by themselves (but link themselves to a base and, while are free, they follow the movement of the waters being driven by marine currents). Ifor when they find "a port", being rock or wood, their bodies adhere to this fixed base.

The crinoids have their soft tissues sustained by a structure stiff, made of calcium carbonate: an endoskeleton. In the process of fossilization these soft tissues decompose leaving only the solid material that - often - resemble themselves to artificial objects like gears in a machine. That would explain how the artifacts were isolated in capsules: because, for a time they were protected by the organic matter of the crinoids.

However, the screw and the reel - both - jammed into the rock, isolated in their capsules could not be confused with the fossils of organisms because of their anatomy: they are very well delineated. These objects, in no way are similar to the crinoids.

KEY WORDS OF THE SEARCH (in russian): Калуга винт окаменелые (translating/english: Kaluga screw fossilized) - (translating spanish: Kaluga, tornillo, fosilizado)

Search engine used: Google

The origin of this news was a survey on a website in Spanish language (see Sources). However, this editor found little and went hunt the original, according to the editor of the Spanish blog the source would be a Russian magazine called Ogonek But, Spanish blog, not released the URL of this magazine (but should have disclosed. Hell ...). 

This source was not found. We only found a OGONEK.NET - in german language.

Advanced search in the website OGONEK.NET - using key words indicated above did not result in any reference. Then, we use the key words in russian and the news was found (in the source indicated below and in others - all them in russian language). 

There were several illustrations and at least one contradiction to what was published in the Spanish blog. The ENIGMAS E MISTERIOS website informs that the discovery took place in 1996. But the Russian website, clearly, mentions 2009.

To find the a correct date we seek a reference page of the research group Kosmopoisk in English and Russian, in Wikipedia. In these sources, we find the record of a series of expeditions conducted in October 1996 in Kaluga (in subtitle Korenevo).

That year, the team Kosmopois was at this region - Kaluga - to investigate what would have been the fall of a meteorite. They were called, according to the russian website, to examine the rock that contained the anachronistic objects found. Then, the group collected the samples that were later analyzed.

The editor of Brazil Weird News wants to make clear that, with this kind of journalism without no one criterion for the accuracy of information, which does not disclose its sources (the case of the spanish website), it is difficult to share, in fact -the knowledge. We consider this kind of omission one amateurism unthinkable for a professional journalist. 

But this news is being published here, with as much detail obtained because no doubt it is a piece in nothing negligible for a collection of fortean events. Ie Charles Fort would have cut the page of the newspaper and filed it in his collection. Thus, we made the same. The difference is that, nowadays, a collection like this can be public. BWN shares with you.

This editor remember, even, that this news has an obvious connection with another news, here published - a one which caused much controversy and even scorn from other editors and readers for the BWN BLOG: Machine dated at 400 million years found in Russia. 

The source, an Italian website that also omitted any mention of its source but the same scientist of the other news appears, in this news - Alex Gobulev, as the person who would have made the first records of the finding.

Finally, we advise that on entering the Russian website page, our machine is immediately disconnected from the internet. Damn, coincidence or page contaminated? We do not know. But here is the record of the fact. 

We save the Russian text and the images captured by a tool, no download. This editor has much appreciation for his PC, so I hesitate to go there again. This business of Russian page which disconnects the network is very unpleasant ...

BRAZIL. Archaeologists Find Human Occupation Dated in More of 7.000 years

BRAZIL. Mato Grosso do Sul state. In the micro-region of Três Lagoas and neighborhoods of the Parana River, archaeologists from the Museu da Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul (Museum of Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul), Emilia Mariki Kashimoto and Gilson Rodolfo Martinez, found evident traces of human occupation dated in more of 7.000 years.

Três Lagoas city, located in the micro-region of Três Lagoas

In the study Arqueologia e Paleoambiente do Rio Paraná (Archaeology and palaeoenvironment of the Parana River, 2009) - researchers found objects that confirm the human presence and an established culture at the region there are 11,000 years. 

Possibly, in the archaeological period called Pleistocene - or the Ice Age - prehistoric communities inhabiting the region subsisted of fishing and gathering of forest resources.

Only in Três Lagoas, there are 70 archaeological sites where scientists work since 1993. But, not only the Paleolithic tools were unburied, were found more recent artifacts too, like ceramics which were dated at 1.200 years.

Discovered: Altar of Human Sacrifice of Inca Culture

IMAGES [+]

PERU. Peruvian archaeologists have found an altar for human sacrifices belonging to the mochica Inca culture. The utilization of the place has around 1600 years of age.The altar is located at the top of a mountain, a magnific scenary in the region of La Libertad.

On Tuesday (03/04/2012), on the city of Trujillo, situated about 500 km north of Lima (capital of the country), in a interview - the archaeologist Regulus Franco explained: We found the altar where the men were killed, beheaded and then thrown into the abyss, as part of the rituals practiced - 1600 years ago by the Mochica people.

The place, prepared in carved stone was found a month ago, located in the center of the peak of the Campana mountain, 1000 m above sea level, said the expert. The structure - which has approximately 1.5 m high, consists of three blocs of 50 cm in length and has a stone table on top, similar to the called - Intihuatana (a sun-dial) of the Inca city of Machu Picchu in Cusco.

Regulo adds: The altar is on the brink of an abyss, which coincides with the representations that appear on the Mochica ceramics, in which are depicted scenes of beheads where the victims are held with heads down, said the director of The El Brujo archaeological project.

This ancient nation, the Mochicas - have always loved this God of the mountain and, apparently, the sacrifices were made ​​during the summer solstice, a time at which the water from the mountains runs down, irrigating the fields.

Mochica is a culture of the pre-colombian America which reached its splendor between the centuries I and VI AD. This nation occupied a territory that stretched the lands of the northern coast of Peru.

In October, last year (2011), archaeologists from the National Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology "Enrique Bruning" (Museo Nacional de Arqueología y Antropología) of the region Lambayeque made ​​an extraordinary discovery. They found a grave with 120 objects, including ornaments and emblems made ​​of gold, silver and copper as well as 116 pieces of pottery.

In principle, the scientists did think that they had found only one more of the leaders of the Lambayeque culture, which according to oral tradition was founded by the legendary Naylamp, but after excavations patients were surprised to perceive that the remains were not of a man but of a woman.

Then, they remembered that, according to oral tradition, the Huaca Chornancap was dedicated to the wife of Naylamp, Cetemy. Now, many already assume that the found may belong to this legendary woman.

However, archaeologists are cautious. They want to investigate further to give a definitive opinion. They expect to complete the laboratory testing. If confirmed the age of the remains, it means that the bones have about 1.250 years, which reinforces the theory of identity Cetemi.

In this case, is necessary a review of the conceptual approach of Lambayeque culture. Until then, it was considered that at that time and in the midst of this people, only the men that exercised political and religious powers received the funeral honors consistent, in function - with the importance of social position they occupied.

But the finding of a woman buried with the pomp of a queen, along with valuables, can demonstrate that the feminine sex could posses more social relevance than was previously supposed.

OF THE CHOTUNA - CHORNANCAP

The Huaca* de Chomancap is located 10 km west of Lambayeque**. It is a platform made of mud bricks. It has 70 meters long, 50 wide, 25 tall and is surrounded by 21 acres of building infrastructure that would have been audience saloons, warehouses, workshops, homes and cemeteries.

Archaeologists, on the basis of popular traditions and previous evidence, they say that in this place, called Huaca, is located the Palace of Cetemi. With base in this information, is assumed that her tomb could be there. The identification of body found will can - finally - confirm the legend which thus becomes part of the history.

According to archaeologist Quirino Olivera Núñez:

developed a social organization elaborated enough
to coordinate collective public works.

PERUVIAN AMAZON. For over two Centuries of archaeological science, the existence of some kind of advanced civilization - Non-Neolithic - in the Amazon region was ignored and - even - rejected. However, the recent discovery of an archaeological site with unique features in the Peruvian jungle requires a complete review by the researchers. The idea of an untouched ​​forest that has always been Inhabited only by primitive tribes incapable of any more elaborate work, can not more be sustained.

There some time, deforested areas of northern Latin America, especially in the Brazilian state of Acre, began to reveal drawn geometric formations traced in soil : the geoglyphs. But that was not enough to advance the discovery of truth. Recently, step forward changed - in definite - the idea of a virgin amazonian jungle.

Archaeologists found the structure of a temple has 3.200 years of age with a configuration that reveals the remote existence of an ancient nation - people who had lived there and had a knowledge far beyond what was observed among the indigenous primitive, simple hunters and gatherers.

The archaeological site is broad: it includes four provinces of the Amazon region: Bagua, Utcubamba, San Ignacio and Jaen. Reaches the territory of two countries, Peru and Ecuador. The project, therefore, is binational and was authorized by General Direction of Cultural Heritage (Direção Geral do Património Cultural).

The temple has columns distant among themselves at a precise distance of 1.40 meters. It means evidence of a mathematical knowledge, of measures of space and practices of collective work.

The building is of old masonry made ​​of clay and straw, as many of the buildings of antiquity found in the Middle East and Mesopotamia, for example. The construction is decorated with colorful murals where they find themselves represented human figures and abstract themes, as combinations of horizontal and vertical lines.

The architecture, classified as monumental, shows that its builders had, in fact, a significant degree of technological advancement. According to perquisador Quirino Olivera Núñez, to build such a structure with these dimensions and characteristics, including stone columns - that, it is assumed,were taken from the rivers - such work, would require a large collaborative effort led by highly qualified masters.

This finding implies the existence of a sedentary nation, who must had inhabited the region for many years. In addition, the building that is being discovered and investigated in this moment of the search, is characterized as a ceremonial center, religious - meaning that - these ruins are of a people who developed the idea of ​​religion and ritual worship of gods. A culture more complex of that was conceived by the amazonian tribes - in neolithic level, nomads - known even then.

Quirino Olivera Núñez explains - yet - that: In the areas nearby, we have found some graves. We expect to find a tomb of a great character who may have been the leader of this [mysterious] civilization. Finally, the datation suggests that this society was contemporary of the called civilizations - the nation of the peaks of Chavin and an another of the coastal - Caral.
