PERUVIAN AMAZON. A team of archaeologists discovered the earliest murals in the Amazon forest in a cerimonial temple of 3200 years, located nearby the city of Bagua in a department of the amazonian Peruvian jungle. The news was published in numerous newspapers of spanish language.

The researchers considered that the finding, which occurred at a place called "Las Juntas", is the first of its kind in all the Amazonian jungle, not only in Peru. The archaeologist Qurino Olivera, head of research, said this is one of the most important discoveries of recent decades.

THIS IS LOCATED IN MEXICO, according the reader Blakbeard.

GREAT BLACKBEARD!



According to the reader Blackbeard the wall to which it relates this matter is another. This would be the picture correct, above. It's beautiful but... this painting is also of Bonampak.

The error is of the newspaper (INFO341/Argentina) that put the matter on the page with a lateral image that does not belongs to the "archaeological site" mentioned in the text: Las Juntas

Writes Blackbeard:
The wall in this article (INFO341/Argentinais from Bonampak, Mexico. And it still provides the source of the picture and location of the mural that confused me.

Thank YOU! VERY MUCH! Blackbeard.

The paintings were discovered on the inside and outside of a temple which has the shape of a rectangle that has a dimension of about 40 square meters. So far, archaeologists have unearthed a wall of 2.20 meters wide and - even - they found several columns.

The predominant colors are red, white, black and yellow. According to experts, the murals are strong evidence that - in the Amazon - existed a civilization that achieved high levels of technological development.

Despite the torrential rains that occur daily in the area, the murals have been preserved because they remained covered by an impermeable layer of rock and clay 15 cm thick that protected the paintings for thousands of years, the researchers said.

The excavations and studies continue in the area with the permission of the Ministry of Culture of Peru and funding of the Regional Government of Amazonas.

Found: Thyatira. An english Ship sunk on the nineteenth century (video included)

BRAZIL. On the coast of Alagoas state, northeast of the country - in the open sea, a shipwreck was discovered. The first images show that the vessel was found wrapped in old fishing nets and other debris.

(On the place, for many years, is practiced fishing of shrimps). Moreover, the structure - was covered by barnacles that formed a crust. (Barnacles are sea creatures and crustaceans - that adhere to surfaces underwater rock formations, the skin of other animals such as whales, for example, and boat hulls.

The rescue of Thyatira

Video recovered by Brazil Weird News in 2023

The discoverer of the piece was the diver Fernando Vagner who went to the site only to rescue a net of a fisherman - who was trapped in the depths

Fernando announced his discovery and an expedition was organized to investigate the case. 

The naval enginner, Francisco Glegiston tells: In this area of the coast the raids were frequent (But, later, was verified that this was not the case). It is an ancient ship (at this point of the investigation, researchers hadn't - yet - the identification of the origin and age of the find)

The investigation continued. The stern was examined. A piece of crockery with inscriptions and a symbol was found - as well a ceramic object. The mast broken revealed that it was a sailing craft, a sailboat. (There hadn't motor).

Finally, taken the proper cares, a big fragment was rescued by means of a cable. The crust of sediment was removed and - then - appeared the figure of a compass rose and the boat's name: Thyatira. The mystery was revealed.

The Thyatira was a sailboat from 60 meters in length and three masts. He left London bound for Rio de Janeiro on July 16, 1896 and disappeared or, better, it sank on this point of the Brazilian coast.

In the epoch, according to the reports of survivors, there was a fire on board. The crew could not get to control the fire. It was a very dangerous situation because there was 800 packets of dynamite on board. 

Given the risk, the commander gave orders "to abandon the ship". All crew survived. The Thyatira broke in half in a loud explosion that lit up the first hours of the dark dawn

FOXP2 - The Extraterrestrial Gene of the Starchild



Graphic reconstruction of the creature's appearance


STARCHILD
. By this expression stood known the mysterious skull found in Mexico in 1930 in a region called Cooper Canyon by a north-american teenager girl who was on vacation with his family in that country.

The skull was discovered in a tunnel of an old mine in the middle of a pile of debris, rublles. It was not an isolated piece. It was a complete skeleton that fell apart at the touch of the girl. And there were others.



That day she took only two skulls. There was no time to recover the rest. Everything was dispersed by a heavy rain of which, waters flow, washed the cavity. Both objects have become only bizarre memories of a travel. The exemplars remained stored in a box. In early 1990, her discoverer, already an elderly woman, died.

The pieces - then - were passed to the hands of Ray and Malanie Young, of El Paso - Texas, USA. For more than eight decades the question remained an enigma. Human or not? At the epoch in what he was exposed to the public - immediately - attracted the attention of onlookers and scholars.

The reason is obvious: the abnormal shape, humanoid - yes - but not-human or, at least, something abnormal. Many began to say that the skull was proof of the presence of aliens in the past history of the planet.

However, this conclusion was never enough to sustain the idea that the piece belonged to a extraterrestrial being. During all these years, academic scientists have fled of this hypothesis with the argument that the vagaries of nature are unimaginable. The Starchild skull would be, after all - only the result of genetic an abnomalia, but certainly, human.

Over the past thirteen years the fossil was analyzed in detail. A project was created for the study of the case, the called "Starchild Project". Now, the technology of DNA analysis could to provide an answer. And it gave

Scientists geneticists, who working on the project - identified the fragment of a gene - that was named FOXP2. The discovery of this gene give credibility to the hypothesis that the skull belongs, in fact, an alien being. An extraterrestrial.

The FOXP2 does not belong to the human genome. The acceptance of this discovery by the scientific community can establish that the Starchild is one of the greatest discoveries of this Civilization.


DETAILS

Many special features make of Starchild an object truly extraordinary Some features are notable: the occular orbitals very large, the nostrils very small, the anomalous shape of the skull. Other features, however, only appear in more specific tests: the bones are much stronger than those of an ordinary human being, are richer in minerals and, in spite of its size (and name), Starchild was not a child when died, it was an adult.


STARCHILD PROJECT

The skull that causes so much controversy has a project and a website dedicated to publishing information about it. In the homepage is written, for example, that the fossil has an age of approximately 900 years old, a conclusion obtained by the method of carbon-14. The test was held at the University of California at Riverside

The project, which began as an informal initiative, has existed since 1999. Its founders are Malanie and Ray Young, who became owners of the object. They hired the scientist Anthony Lloyd Pye (American, born in 1946) to head the research team. On the site can to be found: the history of the discovery, details of the research and numerous videos about the issue, pictures, graphic reconstructions of the creature's appearance, etc..

Dolphins follow Navy ship in a travel to isolated islands



Video by Globo Amazônia/Rede Globo de Televisão.
Accessed In Youtube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQM9QdriZIo] - 11/03/2012


BRAZIL. A group of bottle-nose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) monitored the travel of the ship "Navio Balizador Comandante Manhães" to the Archipelago of São Pedro and São Paulo, located 1,010 km away from Natal (capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte). At least ten animals swam alongside the boat, including some puppies.

Those waters attract marine animals such as whale sharks, tunas and dolphins too, which breed in the region. With an area of ​​17 km² and only 18 meters above of the sea level, St Peter and St Paul are an area guarded by the Navy of Brazil, which - by 14 years, has kept a scientific station inhabited constantly by researchers from several universities.



The islands

Only one island, called Belmonte, is inhabited by common islets and contains some type of vegetation. The relay of specialized professionals is made through the work program of the Archipelago of São Pedro and São Paulo (Programa Arquipélago de São Pedro e São Paulo - Proarquipelago), whose maintenance is coordinated by the Interministerial Commission for Sea Resources (Comissão Interministerial para os Recursos do Mar - CIRM), linked to the federal government




The archipelago of St. Peter and St. Paul (São Pedro and São Paulo) is located in a central region of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean. It is composed of five islands and numerous cliffs. The islands are: Belmont - the largest, Challenger, Northeast, Cabral and South. The archipelago's territory belongs to the Brazilian state of Pernambuco

Archaeology: Ancient necropolis found in Rome



Skull found in the necropolis, square Ostiense, Rome - Italy.


ITALY. March 5, 2012. Next to the pyramid Cestia (Pyramid of Caius Cestius or Gaius Cestius* - in Ostience Square) in Rome during the excavations for the installation of a line of urban electric trains, were found an archaeological site. Among the discoveries were found objects such as bones, skulls, pieces of amphorae and also tombs. One of the skeletons that appeared was almost intact with his arms crossed resting on a slab that was, probably, his own grave




The works were suspended and the place, isolated. The relics are being cataloged and placed in plastic boxes. According to preliminary estimates, the remains were dated between the first and second centuries AD. Archaeologists believe they have found a small cemetery.

* Gaius Cestius Epulo or Gaius Cestius Gallo lived in the first century AD. The pyramid, monument of ancient Rome, near the port of Sao Paulo, was built between 18 and 12 BC, to serve as a tomb for Gaius Cestius Epulo, Roman magistrate.

This is an absurd - But it is something for Charles Fort



Mr. Charles Fort

Due the number of hits this blog because of the article below "Machine dated at 400 million years found in Russia" I think that is urgent and necessary investigate a little more. (Here, at Brazil, an academic journalist is a professional that has to has ethic. We are instructed by this way. For this reason, none matter or note is published in this blog without mention the source - like occurs in many others sites and blogs).

I searched that was possible about the issue and discovered this: in fact exist a scientist with the name Yuri Gobulev. I found a profile of him IN [http://www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr/~golubev/].

This man, really appears to be a researcher of some complex issues like: nonparametric and semiparametric, Hidden Markov Models, detection break in time series, inverse problems, stochastic volatility models (I don't understand nothing about this issues).

The profile also presents him like "Directeur de recherche au CNRS". CNRS is National Center for Scientific Research (French: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique). All indicates that he lives or at least he works in France, and not in Russia like we can think.

This provides some consistency with regard to the contact of a scientist named Y. Gobulev and his declarations - that were published in Italian blog and attributed to a scientist with that name. Note that, the name "Gobulev" appears in the final of the Italian original as if himself, the scientist, was the author and hat sent the matter. This is somewhat strange.


Another important point refers to access to the page where I found the text in italian. Hard to find? For me too. However, "Master-Google" cached shows:

[http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:1rHH7PBQV4kJ:www.zazoom.it/blog_rsc/post.asp%3Fid%3D6857+&cd=2&hl=pt-BR&ct=clnk&gl=br]

Of course, I had the care to save this record.

After all, who can tell if Italian blog editor removed the web page? Until yesterday, 08/03/2012 - I could access the same page easily.


Despite the arguments, that consider - the italian publication - this news - something suspicious - including myself too - I translated and published it in this blog for a reason: fortean spirit. I believe that even with the suspicion that the picture shows only fossils of arcanes organisms, I think that - someone like Charles Fort - will not put this in the trash basket. He collected strange facts reported in newspapers of all the world - even being absurd at first sight. I think that Mr. Fort would put this in a session of your files. (Now, I will work in peace)
