Marine abyss swallows beach in Mexico




MEXICO. In Los Frailes, a town in the region of Baja California South, an area of ​​13,000 meters of beach disappeared. The strange phenomenon was caused by specific geological event called the "cascade of sand into the sea" or "marine cascading" which are micro-earthquake and its aftershocks (tremors).

Access to the place - which is part of the polygon Cabo Pulmo National Park, environmental preservation area - was closed to residents and tourists as a security measure.

The phenomenon is a real danger for people - who can be swallowed by the sea in the event that new manifestations that simply, suddenly, can suck, to the depths, extensive portions along of the bed of beaches, draging the living beings that can, eventually - be there.








The situation is being assessed by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources with the assistance of the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONAP) and the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection (Profepa). A preliminary inspection revealed that occurred a slip of sand in the proportion of 75 meters to the bottom of the coastline.








The head of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), Juan Rafael Elvira Quesada said: [in this place, exist] ...an oceanic canyon in a permanent formation. The cliff has already reached 100 meters deep and there, strong marine currents can drag anything to the bottom of the sea.

The functionary of the Fund for the Protection of Marine Resources (Fonmar) Mackaliz Juan Diego, said yet that the phenomenon on the beach at Los Frailes, in these proportions, already happened in the past, in the years 1947 and 1965.

CHILE. Lake vanishes for the second time this year




CHILE. Saturday, 31 - 2012. In the Chilean Patagonia, the lake Cachet II, lost its 2,000 millions liters of water or 31 meters of its level - in less than 48 hours causing an increase in the flow of the river Baker, the major river of the country.

This is the second time only in this year, that this phenomenon occurs. The first time - that it happened, was in 2008. This is 11ª time that the fact is registrated in these proportions. According to the Chilean authorities, in 27 of january (2012) the lake stood empty but back to full some time later.

The rapid depletion of water levels the lake Cachet II produces the correspondent increased of waters flow in the Baker River, the longest river in the country as well the level of another lake, situated in La Cologne. The flow tripled, increasing from 1100 to 3511 meters per second cubic. The level of the lake in La Colonia grew by 6.6 meters.




Population has fear of damages to property

The Chilean authorities have stated that due to the emptying of the lake, the flow of river Baker waters will continue to increase. It is necessary to take precautions. Residents fear that increases of the flow, the rise of the waters cause damages to properties closest, like floods on fields.

Scientists are investigating this phenomenon - the emptying process that occurs in some lakes in the Chilean Patagonia. The Direction General of Waters, through the hydrometeorological stations belonging to the Ministry of Public Works, constantly monitors the situation and, in such cases, the oficial organs are informed to emit the necessary alerts.

According to Spanish press reports, the director general of the Regional Water Questions, Matías Desmadryl, explained that: ...as this has happened in recent years, the emptied of the lake, so - this is an event more or least waited.




An underground tunnel ice

The causes of the process of emptying of Lake Cachet II, located in the Aysen region, about two thousand kilometers south of Santiago (capital of Chile) - these causes still aren't completely explained. It is assumed that the global warming is related to the event.


Two glaciologists, Andrés Rivera and Gino Casassa, are studying the hypothesis of the occurrence of a "GLOF" - Glacial Lake Outburst Flood - which is a collapse of a glacial lake.

The glacier Colonia - Chile, where where is located the lake Cachet II, serves as a natural dam containing the lake water. In recent years, heatexcessive, unusual about the glacier has caused the rupture of the ice. When one of the fissures of the glacier don't resists to the pression of the liquid mass, when the lake is full, a strong course of water runs through an underground tunnel emptying the place in a few hours.

Scientists think that in the case of Lake Cachet II, the tunnel stretches for eight kilometers, reaching to the nearest lake, that is the lake of La Colonia.

The two scientists argue that deflation - that is a natural phenomenon in glaciers - is favored by the high temperatures that have increasingly occur in Patagonia. During the last summers the temperature can reach over 30 degrees Celsius for several days.

The phenomenon is known in Chile and South America since the years of 1950 but there isn't evidence of similar processes have happened, in these proportions - in the past. Scholars believe that the occurrences - of this kind - could be - each time more frequent as a result of climate change. A. Rivera and Gino Casassa explained that the water does not disappear, just change your cycle.

The General Directorate of Water has announced it will make continuous monitoring of the phenomenon through the stations of the hydrometeorological network to registrate any change in behavior of the lakes and rivers.

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 throughout the island there are about 887 monolithic statues (made ​​from a single block of stone). The largest statue has 10 meters of height and 90 tons...

The Easter Island is a small part of an ancient continent that, today - is underwater: the land of Lemuria. That means those lands belonged to Lemuria. 

Lemuria was submerged but re-emerged, not once but several times. The Easter Island, one of the highest points of the Lemurian continent, is among the first places to "get out of water" when the ocean levels suffer change - to down...

The Lemurians built huge cities. They used marble and lava.

"They carved their own life-size images and with their similarity and worshiped them. Were governed by a "divine king" - (BLAVATSKY, 2001 - 334/335)... 

...they cultivated the arts, sciences and also had the knowledge of the astronomy, architecture, mathematics. Were the Lemurians sixth sub-race that lived this civilization.

The Mystery of the Basque Sovereign




SPAIN/BASQUE COUNTRY. Sovereign - this gold coin is considered the favorite of the Queen of England. It was created in 1489 by order of King Henry VII and his issue was continued until of 1603, reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Its name is because the face of the king is minted on the obverse of the coin.

The "sovereigns" came back to be minted in 1817 and the standard amount of precious metal used in its manufacture was fixed at 7.32 grams of gold. Its approximate value: $ 300. One of these coins well known by lovers of coins, is is under custody of the Ertzaintza - (Basque police forces) in Vitoria - (capital of the basque province of Alava).

The police is requesting the cooperation of citizens to find the owner of the object (and for this reason is publishing the case and the photo of the jewel in the Spanish newspapers). After all, no one filed a complaint of theft of this object

This sovereign, in particular, inlaid in a ring, was with part of stolen material found in possession of a gang of thieves who acted - by invading houses - in the capital of Alava (or Araba - one of three provinces that make up the Basque country). This coin was minted in 1958 and has the characteristic inscription in Latin: Elizabeth II, Queen by God's grace.

The "sovereigns" circulated even the early twentieth century. In 1914 were taken out of circulation, when Britain abolished the use of gold in their currencies. However, this type of coins was still produced in very limited quantities.

Finally, its production was terminated in 1932. However, in 1957, the Royal Mint resumed his coining to combat counterfeits coming from Italy and Syria. However, these latest exemplars were owned - almost exclusive - of colecionares and gold investors.

The Basque police still informs - that all the gang assaults occurred in the center of the capital of Alava, Vitoria - on "Gasteiz avenue", its environs and in other places like Arana, St. Lucia and Judimendi. The assaults happened always when the owners were out from home.

Prepared for the End of the World




BRAZIIL. At Rio Grande do Sul state, the city of St. Francisco de Paula, is to 112 km distant of Porto Alegre (capital of the state) to 907 meters above sea level. Considering this characteristic, the altitude, the prefect Decio Colla, who is a scholar of geophysics and astrophysics, is touting the city as a adequate place to escape a possible end of the world - according to the Mayan calendar. The "End of a Time" that can occur on December 21 this year (2012).




Decio Colla, the prefect: Is important to be prepared


Mr. Colla claims: ... the first world countries are preparing for possible disasters ... We can not wait anything happens. We must act ... He said the city already receives new residents. Persons who fear seeing confirmed the prophecy of the Maya. He don't know - yet - the number of the people that already arrived. If I could, the prefect ensures - he already would taken providences - for protection better the population.

As a public man, it is difficult to do anything at the moment. I can not stock the school lunch because I have to submit accounts zeroed at the end of each month. Even those who do not believe, they should be prepared. There are numerous factors that lead us to think that this can be confirmed. In other countries this concern already exists, but not in Brazil. We are not even paying attention in solar storms that affect our planet" he warned.





Trader in the city, Luiz Henrique Valim is an example of someone who has already took some providences for the case of any disaster that come to happen. At home, he claims to have a stock capable of feeding 50 people for a year. According to him, are 108 kg of rice, 40 kg of beans , 108 meters of textile fabrics, among other things



In addition to be prefect of San Francisco de Paula, Decio Colla is also a physician and works in hospitals in the mountainous regionof the state. For him, these solar flares hitting the earth can be an indication that the planet is entering a new phase. "Someone that is a biophysical knowsthat our whole planetary system is changing. With these changes, it is possible the occurrence of natural disasters ."

By being well above sea level, is very difficult that a tsunami come to reach the Serra do Rio Grande do Sul. Still thus, the mayor saysthe region is not free from danger. "What can reach the Sierra are tremors, storms, things of that nature. Anyway, we must be prepared," he says. "It is clear that each one takes its decision. What I want is to have a clear conscience, because if I have a lot of information, I have to pass them" - he added.
