The Achaemenid, or the First Persian Empire, was founded by Cyrus the Great in 550 BC, and extended from Eastern Europe in the west to the Indus valley. It was larger than any previous known empire in history, building road systems, postal systems, and showing its citizens a lot of religious tolerance.
In Iran, located on Mount Behistun, which means 'place where the gods dwell', four similar tombs are cut into the stone cliffs, as well as an inscription by Darius the Great, which was crucial to the decipherment of cuneiform script, as the inscription includes three versions of the same text, written in three different cuneiform script languages: Elamite, Babylonian, and Old Persian. The inscription is to cuneiform, what the Rosetta Stone is to Egyptian hieroglyphs: the document most crucial in the decipherment of a previously lost script.
The Frisians are a Germanic ethnic group indigenous to the coastal parts of the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and northwestern Germany. The Oera Linda Book is a manuscript written in a form of Old Frisian, purporting to cover historical, mythological, and religious themes of remote antiquity. The text alleges that Europe was for a large part of their history, ruled by a succession of folk-mothers presiding over a hierarchical order of celibate priestesses dedicated to the goddess Freya. Kulning is an ancient Frisian herding call that was used by women long ago to call home the cows and goats back to the farm in the evenings.
Anthropologically speaking, human pre-history is divided up into certain segments, some minor and some major, but none more important than the division between the Pleistocene, which includes the time most popularly known as the ice age, and the Holocene, which is our current age for the past 10-12,00 years or so, a time following some major global cataclysms, upheavals, and mass extinctions.
That said, we can further dissect the current Holocene into the neolithic, or stone age, when agriculture appears, or possibly re-appears, when the tools and weapons archeologists find are made from polished stone, starting at around 11 or 12 thousand years ago. This period is followed by the copper age at around 3500 BC - 2500 BC, an era of transition between the stone tool-using farmers of the Neolithic, and the metal-obsessed civilizations of the Bronze Age.
Could there have been a trans Atlantic copper trade in ancient times, and if so, who could have done it? Phoenician comes from the Greek word 'phoinos', meaning 'red'.
Mercury is a god in Roman mythology, the equivalent of Hermes in Greek mythology, Thoth in ancient Egypt, and one of the 12 deities within the ancient Roman pantheon. Mercury is also a shiny, silvery, metal, sometimes called quicksilver, and the only metal that is a liquid at standard room temperature.
The spiritual elite of India have been using and handling alchemically purified and solidified Mercury for thousands of years, and ancient Vedic scriptures describe the use of spinning Mercury to achieve anti-gravitational propulsion for flying craft called Vimanas.
German Navy Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz stated in 1943: "The German submarine fleet is proud of having built for the Führer in another part of the world a Shangri-La, an impregnable fortress." This is why Secretary of Defense James Forrestal sent a naval task force to invade Antarctica, including Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Krusen and Admiral Byrd, called “Operation Highjump”.
Over 4,500 military troops from the U.S., Britain and Australia consisting of three Naval battle armadas departed from 3 separate locations in 1946. Byrd was given unlimited funding and 8 months to complete the operation. The mission did not go as planned. Admiral Byrd suffered massive casualties, his fleet was destroyed, and what remained of his armada retreated in disgrace from a humiliating defeat in just under 2 weeks.
In 1947, the Chilean newspaper "El Mercurio" carried an article from its correspondent Lee van Atta aboard the support ship 'Mount Olympus'. The title of the article was: "Admiral Richard E Byrd refers to the Strategic Importance of the Poles."
English translation of the article:
"Admiral Richard E. Byrd warned today that the United States should adopt measures of protection against the possibility of an invasion of the country by hostile aircraft coming from the polar regions. The Admiral explained that he was not trying to scare anyone, but the cruel reality is that in case of a new war, the United States could be attacked by aircraft flying over one or both poles. This statement was made as part of a recapitulation of his own polar experience, in an exclusive interview with International News Service. Talking about the recently completed expedition, Byrd said that the most important result of his observations and discoveries is the potential effect that they have in relation to the security of the United States. The fantastic speed with which the world is shrinking – recalled the Admiral – is one of the most important lessons learned during his recent Antarctic exploration. I have to warn my compatriots that the time has ended when we were able to take refuge in our isolation and rely on the certainty that the distances, the oceans, and the poles were a guarantee of safety".
Meaning "to weave" in Sanskrit, the term Tantra implies a set of spiritual practices that direct the universal energies into the practitioner, thereby leading to liberation from the physical level of existence. Samadhi is a state of Consciousness characterized by clarity of perception and the absence of the ego. It is the state of Consciousness sought by all schools of Meditation, a piercing of the veils of one's subconscious mind, into the super-conscious.
Orgone is the universal Life Force, the basic building block of all organic and inorganic matter. Coined by Dr. Wilhelm Reich, Orgone was seen as a mass-less, omnipresent substance, similar to luminiferous ether, and called by the Great mystics and philosophers; Chi, Prana or Vril.
Alan Watts was a British philosopher who popularized Eastern esoteric philosophy for a Western audience. Samael Aun Weor was a spiritual teacher and author of over sixty books of esoteric spirituality. He taught and formed groups under the banner of 'Universal Gnosticism', or simply Gnosis.

The Bronze Age is a historical period characterized by the use of bronze, and in some areas proto-writing, and other early features of urban civilization. Aryan is a term that was used as a self-designation by Indo-Iranian people, for example, etched in stone in the Behistun Inscription, a multilingual inscription and large rock relief on a cliff from 522BC at Mount Behistun in modern Iran telling the story of King Darius' conquests.
Phoenicia was an ancient Mediterranean sea-faring civilization that originated in the Levant in the west of the Fertile Crescent. The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected the East and West.
The Sudan is a country in Northeast Africa, bordered by Egypt to the North, Ethiopia to the East, Chad to the West, and Libya to the Northwest, housing 37 million people, making it the third largest nation in Africa. The history of Sudan goes back to the time of the Pharaohs, and includes the rise of the kingdom of Kush.
The Hermann Monument commemorates a Germanic war chief named Arminius who famously led an alliance of Germanic tribes that ambushed and annihilated three Roman legions and their auxiliaries in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. In AD 98, the Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus wrote a text called “About the Origin and Mores of the Germanic Peoples,” or Germania, as it came to be called. In the 1940's, the Germania was taught in German schools and widely celebrated as a comprehensive account of the ancient Germanic people. It describes a proud, brave and virtuous people, but The Germans were not one nation — Tacitus lists 50 tribes that were united to defeat Rome.

New archaeological evidence suggests that America was first discovered by Stone Age people from Europe – 10,000 years before the Siberian-originating ancestors of the American Indians set foot in the New World. A remarkable series of several dozen European-style stone tools, dating back between 19,000 and 26,000 years, have been discovered at six locations along the US east coast.
The new discoveries are among the most important archaeological breakthroughs for several decades - and are set to add to our understanding of humanity's spread around the globe. Robert Sepehr is an author, producer and independent anthropologist. Thank you for the support!
Serving as the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle, is the Neuschwanstein Castle (New Swan Stone Castle), originally intended as a personal refuge for Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is sometimes referred to as the Swan King. He also held the titles of Duke of Bavaria, and the Duke of Swabia. Swabia is a region in South Western Germany, representing the territory of Alemannia, which coincides with the Swabian Circle of the Holy Roman Empire, as it stood during the Early Modern period, now near south western Bavaria. Lohengrin is a character in German Arthurian literature, a knight of the Holy Grail sent in a boat pulled by swans to rescue a maiden who can never ask his identity.
The ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail, a symbol of cyclical time, a continual renewal of life, death and rebirth, a widespread symbol of the "All-in-All", the totality of existence, infinity, and the cyclic nature of the cosmos.
In Gnosticism, this serpent symbolized eternity of the soul. The serpent was one of the earth-animals associated with the cult of Mithras, as well as the Magi. In Hinduism, Kundalini is a coiled serpent, the residual power of pure desire. "Kundalini" refers to the energy of yogic awakening, leading to altered states of higher consciousness.
Founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter the Great, St. Petersburg was the Russian imperial capital for 2 centuries.
Embellished with topaz, blue lazurite (Lapis Lazuli) and other semi-precious stones, the Church on Spilled Blood was built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was fatally wounded. The walls and ceilings inside are completely covered in intricately detailed mosaics of biblical scenes, and at night, it resembles something out of a fairy tale.
The Scythians were composed of Aryan tribes of proto-Iranian equestrian communities who were semi-nomadic and mentioned as inhabiting large areas in the central Eurasian steppes since at least the second millennium BC. Their territories were known to classical Greek sources as Scythia.
The "classical Scythians" most often spoken about by ancient Greek historians were located in the northern Black Sea and fore-Caucasus region.
However, other Scythian groups encountered in Near Eastern and Achaemenid sources existed in Central Asia. In their life and habits they much resemble the people of Parthia.
Moreover, the term "Scythian" is also used by modern scholars in an archaeological context, i.e. any region perceived to display attributes of the proto-Aryan civilization or "Scytho-Siberian" culture.
Much of what is known of the history of the Scythians comes from the account of them by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who visited their territory.
In modern times this record has been expanded chiefly by the work of Russian anthropologists. Numerous ancient DNA samples have now been recovered from the putative 'ancestors' of the historical Scythians.
Physical and genetic analyses have unanimously concluded that the Scythians, even those in the east, possessed predominantly "Europioid" features, although mixed 'Euro-mongoloid' phenotypes also occur, depending on period.
The haplotypes and haplogroups of 26 ancient human specimens from the Krasnoyarsk area in Siberia were dated from between the middle of the 2nd millennium BC and the 4th century AD, nearly all belong to haplogroup R-M17.
The data shows that the constellation of populations known variously as Scythians were blue- (or green-) eyed, fair-skinned and light-haired people who also played a major role in the early development of the Tarim Basin civilization.
Politically motivated Anthropologists promoting a false Marxist inspired egalitarian version of history have gotten a much deserved slap in the face recently from a number of archaeological discoveries in the Orient which indicate that the original founders of many Eastern philosophies and civilizations - which are so revered by "New Age" types who despise anything Caucasian and European - were in fact racial Aryans.
One famous example is the country of Iran, which takes its name from its original conquerors; until 1978 one of the many formal titles of the SHAH was "Lord of the Aryans." Etched in cuneiform, the ancient term Aryan pre-dates WW2 by millenia.
Hundreds of these perfectly preserved 4,000 year old Aryan mummies and their pyramids discovered in central Asia were from a period prior to the accepted establishment of the Silk road. These are the earliest known inhabitants to the area and pre-date the modern Asian inhabitants by over a thousand years.
These ancient blond mummies are often over 6'6" tall, carry swastika symbols, and are said to have introduced pre-Buddhist Aryan philosophy to 3/4 of Asia. They are responsible for many of China's massive ancient pyramid structures, as well as contributing to China's earliest civilization/emperors, immortalized as their blue-eyed "Sun-Gods" of legend.
In a recently unearthed grave in the Gobi Desert, nearly two pounds of still-green Marijuana was found buried with the ancient Aryans has proved to be at least 2,700 years old. A barrage of testing has confirmed that the marijuana possessed highly potent psychoactive properties and casts doubt on the theory that the ancients only grew the plant for hemp in order to make clothing and rope; They apparently were getting high.
Lead author Ethan Russo told Discovery News that the marijuana "is quite similar" to what's grown today. "We know from both the chemical analysis and genetics that it could produce THC (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, the main psychoactive chemical in the plant)," he explained.
It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed man who died when he was about 45. The well-preserved mummy of a seemingly Caucasian shaman with a Roman nose and deep-set eyes was unearthed from a cluster of ancient tombs in 2003 and research work has been going on ever since.
Cannabis was not only used by the Scythians for relaxation, but for ceremonies for the dead. In a passage written in about 450 B.C., Herodotus describes the funeral rites of the Scythians as follows:
"...when, therefore, the Scythians have taken some of this hemp, they creep under the cloths and put the seeds on the red hot stones; but this being put on smokes, and produces such a steam, that no Grecian vapor-bath would surpass it. The Scythians, transported by the vapor, shout aloud."
The Royal Scyths were headed by a sovereign whose authority was transmitted to his son. Eventually, Somewhere round the time of Herodotus, the royal family intermarried with Greeks.
In 339 the ruler Ateas was killed at the age of 90 while fighting Philip II of Macedonia. The community was eventually destroyed in the 2nd century BCE, Palakus being the last sovereign whose name is preserved in history.

Russo served as a visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany while conducting the study. He and his international team analyzed the cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China.
It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45.
"Buried with an unusual
number of high value, rare items," Russo said, mentioning that the objects
included a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp.
The
researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke
a now-extinct Aryan language called Tocharian that was similar to
Celtic.
Scientists originally
thought the plant material in the grave was coriander, but microscopic botanical
analysis of the bowl contents, along with genetic testing, revealed that it was indeed
cannabis. Soma of the Indo-Aryans and Haoma of the Indo-Iranians was an intoxicant used for spiritual and religious purposes. Read More Here: NBC Science News
