A tiny bone plaque in Sanliurfa museum holds the key to the orientation of 11,500 year-old temple complex. See it for yourself on this exclusive tour in May 2016: http://www.andrewcollins.com/page/events/Turkey_0516.htm. New article by Andrew Collins here: http://bit.ly/1KojxOs. The bone plaque was found during routine excavations at the 11,500-year-old site of Göbekli Tepe in southeast Turkey, but no one had recognised exactly what the carved lines on the small bone plaque showed. That was until Matthew Smith, a British telecommunications consultant living in Qatar, visited Sanliurfa’s new archaeology museum with Megalithomania and Andrew Collins, just 8 miles (13 kilometres) away from Göbekli Tepe itself. He saw something that everyone else had missed, and this was that the little plaque – just 6 cm by 2.5 cm in size, and no more than 3-4 mm in thickness – bore on its upper surface two T-shaped features like the T-shaped pillars found in profusion at the site.<br /><br />

Subscribe: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/megalithomaniaUK">http://www.youtube.com/megalithomaniaUK</a>. 420 geometric stone spheres have been found in the vicinity of Neolithic stone circles in Northern Scotland, with 169 coming from Aberdeenshire alone. Outside Scotland examples have been found in Ireland at Ballymena, and in England at Durham, Cumbria, Lowick and Bridlington. One was recently spotted by Hugh Newman over 6000 miles away that came from an important megalithic pyramid site in South America - Tiwanaku in Bolivia. To find one of these here may prove the connection between Britain and South America in prehistory. The Fuenta Magna Bowl has solidified links between ancient Sumeria and Tiwanaku, so perhaps this was part of a worldwide megalithic culture.

At least 6,500 years older than Stonehenge and 7,000 years before the pyramids were constructed, a cult megalithic complex sat atop the hills near current day Sanliurfa (ancient Edessa), in southeast Turkey. Göbekli Tepe was flourishing at an astonishing 12,000 - 14,000 years ago, and today, the preserved remains still exhibits high degrees of sophistication and megalithic engineering skill, but not all the monoliths made it to the main site.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Karahan Tepe is the sister site to the enigmatic Göbekli Tepe in Southeast Turkey (video here: <a href="http://youtu.be/E-Q9cviQcn0">http://youtu.be/E-Q9cviQcn0</a>). It has many striking similarities to Göbekli. Firstly, it is still buried. All you are seeing in the video is the very tops of the T-Shaped pillars. There are 266 of them that mostly form parallel curved serpent-like rows. Some have animal and serpent relief carvings. Karahan Tepe was first discovered in 1997, and was surveyed in 2000 and again in 2011. It is located on the Tektek mountains and is within the boundaries of Sanliurfa (ancient Edessa - the birthplace of Abraham). </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I visited this unexcavated site in June 2014 with author Andrew Collins and a group of Megalithomaniacs on the 'Origins of Civilization' tour. It is not an officially recognized tourist site, so we had to plan the trip there carefully as it is on private land, upon the Tektek mountains. When Andrew visited there in 2004 the person who showed him around was warned he would get a beating if it was found that anyone had visited there. Ten years later, and the owners welcome the occasional visitor with tea and information. No beatings entailed, just tea and conversation after our morning visit. Anyway, enjoy the video, and join us there in September if you can.</div>

It is probably the diameter from the latitudes these sites sit at too. The canonical number is 7920 which can be expressed as 8 x 9 x 10 x 11 miles = 7920 miles.

The alignment goes through Coba Hoyuk in Turkey, some ancient Greek Temples and travels very close to the Calçoene Stone Circle in Brazil. More research still to be done!

<br />
Happy Equinox Megalithomaniacs! We took an early morning drive to Stonehenge to meet up with Druids, Pagans, and around 300 megalithomaniacs to celebrate the Spring Equinox. There are changes afoot at Stonehenge, with a new visitor centre, the car park being 'grassed over' and the now blocked road. Basically you now have to walk over a mile from the entrance to the stones, or get a laid-on shuttlebus. It was a cold morning, but we managed to meet up with archaeologist Julian Richards to discuss the new scanning of the stones that has revealed more enigmatic carvings (video on that coming soon). We also chatted with Arch-druid Rollo Maughfling, and witnessed a powerful ceremony from Arthur Pendragon, who are both doing all they can to keep access open at these turnings of the year, and protect the site from any possible threat. I caught up with my colleague, archaeo-astronomer Simon Banton, about the proposed housing near Larkhill military base, that is directly on the viewing line of the Summer Solstice sunrise from Stonehenge. This planning oversight needs to be stopped so please make your opinions count here: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/salisbury-plain-training-area-master-plan-army-basing-programme">www.gov.uk/government/consultations/salisbury-plain-training-area-master-plan-army-basing-programme</a> - email the MOD directly at: <a href="mailto:DIO-ArmyBasing@mod.uk">DIO-ArmyBasing@mod.uk</a> to protect the sunrise alignmentHugh Newmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02865619161127976736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4976415251268734673.post-11560110825614751152014-03-14T14:50:00.003-07:002014-03-14T14:50:48.546-07:00Hugh Newman interviews Jim Vieira: Giants on Record in North America <object height="338" width="600"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/qgfQORUwbes?version=3&hl=en_US"></param>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">Since 2008 I have been researching Giant reports, most notably in North America. After reading Ross Hamilton's classic 'A Tradition of Giants' about the 7ft - 12ft giants who ruled the Ohio area of North America (often with double-rows of teeth), I became fascinated how myths and legends may actually be true, and give a clue to who built these sites. Since then researchers like Jim Vieira have found around 1500 reports of this unknown race from reputable newspapers, science journals, town histories and private letters. Many were excavated from ancient mounds, and some from megalithic sites. This is the first part of an hour-long interview I did with Jim last October when I was in New England (see below). It includes interviews with Andrew Collins, and also Peter Anick from the </span><a href="http://neara.org/" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;" target="_blank">New England Antiquities Research Association</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">.

This video was filmed and edited by Hugh Newman on the 'Origins of Civilization' tour organised by Megalithomania and Andrew Collins, with special guest Graham Hancock in September 2013. Gobekli Tepe is said to be up to 14,000 years old and could rewrite human history. Please join Andrew and Hugh, with special guest Brien Foerster in May 2014 to explore further: <a href="http://www.megalithomania.co.uk/originstour2014.html">www.megalithomania.co.uk/originstour2014.html</a><br />

This one focuses on the Museums and Parks of San Jose. Hugh recently travelled to Costa Rica to explore the enigmatic stone spheres that have been discovered there over the last century. Ranging from the size of footballs to 9ft in diameter, and often perfectly carved, these spheres have left archaeologists and researchers baffled as to who built them, how and why. The opening scene of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' showed Indiana Jones running down a tunnel to escape from one of them, but rather than a booby-trap set by the ancients, it has been revealed that these may have been more to do with geomancy, navigation, alignments and astronomy. Over the next few episodes, Hugh will look at other similar spheres that have been discovered in southern Costa Rica and around the world and give an historical overview of the strange 'marbles of the gods' (as David Hatcher Childress named them).
