Similar to how DNA banks are being created to store genetic

archaeological treasures in the virtual world, for accuracy,

A new study conducted by the Supreme Council for

million stones, indicating that the Egyptian pyramid builders
were even more organized and efficient than previously thought.

A 17,000-year-old culture that lived in what is now the
western desert of Egypt knew precise data about our galaxy.
Analizing a recent archaeological find at the site of Nabta
Playa (radio carbon dated to as early as 10,000 BC),
astrophysicist Thomas G. Brophy demonstrates that finely carved
stones and engraved bedrock contained specific coordinates of
stars as early as 16,500 BC. They also contained accurate
information on the configuration of our Milky Way with the exact
position of our Sun and the galactic center as of 17,430 BC. A
valuable scientific detective story that confirms very ancient

The Mystery Park Opening
Postponed
After close consultation between the Board, sponsors and
investors, the Mystery Park Board of Directors decided to
postpone the opening planned for November 7, 2002 until spring
2003. This also allows optimal integration of parts of the Swiss
National Exhibition Expo.02 infrastructure into the Mystery
Park. The opening date has been set for May 24, 2003.
The Mystery Park
presents the mysteries of this world, based on the ideas of
Erich von Däniken, on the 100,000 sq.m. site of the former
military airfield at Matten, near Interlaken. "We are not
building a UFO park" repeatedly emphasises Erich von
Däniken, best-selling non-fiction author with a grand total
over 60 million books sold. The seven different theme buildings,
set in a star pattern around the main building, present
mysterious, to-scale evidence of various past cultures, such as
the Pyramids of Gizeh in Egypt or Chichen Itza of the Mayan
Indians. Challenge looks to the future, taking NASA's attempts
to inhabit the planet Mars as its theme. Erich von Däniken
wants the anticipated around 500,000 annual visitors to
"re-learn the feeling of astonishment in the Mystery
Park" and to ask questions on the wherefrom and whereto of
our civilisation.

Is Rudolf Gantenbrink to be deliberately snubbed by the
National Geographic?
In a program shortly to be released by the
National Geographic on September 17th, 2002 showing the live
opening of "Gantenbrinks door" in the south shaft of
the Queens chamber , it is reported that Mr Gantenbrink is not
to be included or credited with his discovery in 1993/4 of the
famous "Gantenbrink's door" or for his other
remarkable discoveries in the Great Pyramid of Khufu using his
tiny robot known as "Uphaut", which now resides in
the British Museum.
His contribution to modern Archaeology and
Egyptology is enormous and many revelations about our
ancestors abilities are starting to emerge from his work which
was largely self financed and technologically difficult.
Millions of people have waited nearly 9 years to see this
event which appears to have been constantly delayed or opposed
in some form or another.
The discovery that a form of cross, similar to
the Christian cross was used as a theodolite or inclinometer
to design the pyramids , measure the earth and work out the
angles of the stars and constellations could not have happened
without his work. www.crichtonmiller.com
It has been reported that Mr Gantenbrink was
not informed that this program was to take place, that he was
not invited and that the door will be opened using a
robot developed by NASA that is equipped with an industrial
bore scope and ground penetrating radar as originally
suggested by Rudolph himself to Zahi Hawass, the Director of
Antiquities in Egypt.
To see the remarkable work of Rudolph
Gantenbrink and understand the full story, visit his site at:

7
million years old skull found in Africa may shift evolution
theories
(MSNBC link)
The discovery of a fossil skull dated at 6 million to 7 million
years old could rewrite the scientific saga of human origins. If
confirmed, the find would dramatically change scientists’
conception of where and when our ancestors arose. Among other things, the find could push back the date at which humans are believed to have diverged from apes.
The skull is
roughly 1 million years older than previously found fossilized
remains of hominids, and about 3 million years older than the
next-oldest skull.
The species was given the scientific name Sahelanthropus
tchadensis — referring to the discovery site in Chad, in
Africa’s Sahel region — and was nicknamed “Toumai,” a
Chadian name meaning “Hope of Life” that is usually given to
children born just before the dry season.

A team led by Gauthier Hulot, of the Institut de Physique du

mantle. In the largest patch, beneath the southern tip of
Africa, the magnetic field is pointing towards the centre of the
Earth, instead of outwards. The other patch is near the north
pole. Magnetism trapped in ancient pottery shows that over the
past 4,000 years, the magnetic field has weakened by more than
50%. This past century, the strength has dropped by 5%. At this
rate, the field might disappear in the next few hundred or
thousand years. Another warning sign of an imminent flip has
come recently from satellite measurements of the Earth's
magnetic field... (Click on the link above to read more)
