Recent Declassified Documents About Mars Discuss A Pyramid & A Lost Civilization 1 MILLION Years Ago
For quite a long time, Mars has served as a place of wonder.
In fiction, there have been many authors that have sparked the imagination of individuals in respect to the red planetary body. It can be argued, however, that The War Of The Worlds, by H.G. Wells, was perhaps the quintessential turn in fiction which served to firmly inculcate consistent focus on the ancient Red Planet. Another notable writer, Edgar Rice Burroughs, added to the Red Planet mythos when he published A Princess Of Mars, which was part of part of a series of stories he published on the red planet.
In modern times, it has been argued, that in addition to Mars containing pyramids on its surface, the red planet also contains a face on its surface.
Former NASA consultant, researcher, author and writer Richard C. Hoagland covers in his highly intriguing book, The Monuments Of Mars – A City On The Edge Of Forever [review here] that Mars features extensive evidence for artificial edifices, which do not seem natural in form, as well as many other anomalies which have mathematical properties on the surface.
To add a few more buckets of fuel onto the embers of the subject of Mars, the CIA recently declassified documents on Mars, which will undoubtedly bring forth much rumination and speculation.
The recent declassified CIA document in question is named "CIA-RDP96-00788R001900760001-9". This document is aptly titled Mars Exploration. This declassification by the CIA was part of an extensive declassification of documents that took place in January, which cover a variety of highly thought-provoking topics.
Dating back to May 22, 1984, the document purports to be a transcript of an experiment conducted a few decades ago which attempted to remote view Mars approximately at approximately 1 Million years B.C.
Before continuing, as a preamble, it's highly intriguing, and profoundly suggestive, that each of the exact coordinates that were given yielded rather astonishing results. The possibility of this being a 'random' remote viewing probe ceases to decrease, and the probability of it being a follow up remote view and reconnaissance session at that time increases quite drastically. If this contention is correct, Mars would have to have been under some type of remote viewing surveillance for at least some time. That's just my personal speculation however.
After beginning to remote view the object, the subject begins:
As we can gather, the remote viewer has spotted what seems to be a pyramid-like structure, which could go on to corroborate the possibility of there being pyramids on Mars, as covered by Richard C. Hoagland in his book.
After proceeding to new coordinates, the subject covers another notable point in the document, which is quite evocative:
As we can gather, we begin by noting that there is an object that seems like an obelisk found, which is very peculiar to say the least. However,the fact that the CIA individual that was prompting the remote viewer made no effort to spend additional time on the object [or the pyramid for that matter], which should have put their suspicion meter into the red zone, leads me to believe that this particular remote viewing session, or at least this particular coordinate reading, was carried out to confirm previous readings carried out prior to this.
Ironically, a place on Earth where we see Pyramids and an obelisk is Egypt. Now, to double-down, or triple-down on our 'coincidences', let's take a gander at an excerpt that was published in the renown Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, which contained a chapter heading named, Signpost to Mars. This was mentioned by Richard C. Hoagland, in his book The Monuments Of Mars – A City On The Edge Of Forever:
"One of the weirdest coincidences of the whole affair is that Cairo, the site of the (two greatest) pyramids, was originally named El-Kahira, from the Arabic El-Kahir – "Meaning Mars…""[1]
As Richard C. Hoagland excitedly intimates:
"Again – what were the random probabilities that there would exist two isolated worlds, both with "pyramids" and "sphinxes," and now, that the one site on this planet where the most perfect, most archetypal form still stand – Cairo – would also form the key linguistic bridge that links those worlds…!?"[2][Bold Emphasis Added]
It surely boggles the mind, does it not?
Now, getting back on track, let's take a look at the last tidbit of evidence which moves these 'coincidences' from the realm of randomness, and into the realm of coordination, by taking a gander at the last peculiar bit of data:
Although the document alludes to many different topics which that be covered, for our purposes, we will focus only on the fact that the document speaks of there being an ancient civilization that lived on Mars. The remote viewer himself states that he perceived them to be ancient people.
A pyramid, an obelisk, and a civilization, all on Mars, all covered within a declassified CIA document. What else does the Red Planet harbor within its confines?
Admittedly, remote viewing isn't an exact science, and it's more like an art, but this document isn't the only piece of evidence showcasing oddities on Mars.
In fact, the book The Cydonia Codex – Reflections from Mars by George J. Haas & William R. Saunders [Review Here] brings forth extensive evidence for there being a correlation between geoglyphs on mars, and geoglyphs found throughout the Earth. Some of the cultures that feature these geoglyphs on Earth are the Aztec, the Olmec, Maya and more.[3]
Lastly, but surely not less important, plasma physicist, and former NASA employee, Dr. John Brandenburg Ph.D., has postulated that Mars contains evidence of a nuclear catastrophe in its past. Dr. Brandenburg came to this particular conclusion based on the fact that Mars contains Xenon-129, thorium and uranium, which are elements that are not of natural origins, and only come about from what he postulates as nuclear explosions, in extremely enormous yields.
For more information on Dr. Brandenburg's hypothesis, please watch the presentation below, which took place at the Secret Space Program & Breakaway Civilization Conference in Bastrop Texas, in 2015, which yours truly was lucky enough to attend. If you have any interest in these types of subjects, there are many more presentations which took place at the conference from many notable speakers such as Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, Jim Marrs, Catherine Austin Fitts, and more, all of which are just as intriguing as this one, albeit covering a variety of topics, and which have resounding implications.

Researchers find "the first network of ancient super-highways in the world"
Source: Ancient-Code.com
LIDAR mapping has allowed experts to discover a sophisticated ancient network of roads –dubbed as the first network of ancient supehrighways— in addition to an entire Acropolis belonging to the Ancient Maya.
Researchers of the Cuenca Mirador Archaeological Project have recently discovered constructions under the Guatemalan jungle that constitute "findings of great importance" for the study of Mayan culture.
This unprecedented discovery was made by scans made with a high-precision laser of the terrain surrounding the Mayan city of El Mirador, located in the heart of the Peten jungle, on the border with Mexico.
LIDAR mapping, which scans the terrain with a laser that can penetrate the canopy of vegetation at a rate of 560,000 dots per second, has allowed identifying unique archaeological features in 2D and 3D images that constitute "important findings" for the study of the Mayan culture.
Topographer Josephine Thompson says that this technology has helped make countless discoveries in two years, which would have taken around forty years without the technology.
Researchers have observed an entire Acropolis, pyramids, terraces, canals, dikes, walls and a network of roads that stretch over 240 kilometers in the area.
These infrastructures, are considered as "the first network of superhighway's of the world," and were used mainly for the transport of goods, according to reports by EFE.
The works carried out in the area allowed American scientist Richard Hansen, who leads research to conclude that Guatemala "has the privilege of being the cradle of Mayan civilization," with the highest pyramids and a "unique" road network.
This investigation, says Hansen, has allowed us to come to the conclusion that the Ancient Maya had a sophisticated system of corrals, which may be evidence of the first meat production system at an industrial level. Further studies are needed to confirm this theory.
The area of Peten is a jungle region that has numerous ruins from the time of ancient Mayan splendor. It is also one of the most important environmental lungs of the American continent. El Mirador – known as the Kan Kingdom – covers an area of 2,158 square kilometers.
It is estimated that at least 1 million people inhabited the area before its collapse in 150 BC.

4 Thought-provoking documentaries suggest ancient sites on Earth are CONNECTED
What are the odds that countless ancient sites around the globe are connected randomly? What if, a mind-boggling pattern lays hidden within these structures?
The first thing that comes to my mind is, how could have ancient cultures placed numerous ancient sites with such precision? Why did they place them as they did? What kind of technology did they used, and is it possible that ancient maps such as the Piri Reis cartography –or the maps used to create it— helped ancient cultures get a sense of orientation on Earth?
What if in distant times, thousand of years ago, the ancients already knew the exact size and shape of Earth? What if in the distant past, ancient cultures like the ancient Egyptians, Inca –or even pre-Inca cultures— had a way of communicating, and even possibly trading?
'Proof' of intercontinental trade, thousands of years ago can be found in numerous archaeological discoveries today.
An article posted on Ancient Origins raises numerous questions for that matter.
Titled 'Did Ancient Egyptians Trade Nicotine and Cocaine With the New World?' the article raises numerous questions which are beyond fascinating.
The article states that German scientist Dr. Svetla Balabanova was studying the mummified remains of Lady Henut Taui, a member of the ruling class, when she made a surprising discovery – the mummy contained traces of nicotine and cocaine.
Considering the fact that tobacco and coca plants were only found in the Americas at that time, how did Egyptian mummies end up with traces of exotic plants in their system?
What if intercontinental voyages were achieved by several ancient cultures before written history indicates?
Once you consider that option, it becomes a realistic possibility that somehow, the ancients knew exactly where Europe, America, Africa and Asia were located. This would have allowed them to strategically place ancient sites around the globe, creating a mind-bending connection we see today.
These thought-provoking documentaries raise numerous question that challenge several aspects of modern-day history and archaeology.
Perhaps thousands of years ago, ancient cultures around the globe were much more advanced than what we are willing to credit them for.
The other things is, why did nearly all ancient cultures build pyramids?
And why are so many pyramids around the globe of similar design?
It's as if the ancient Pyramids builders in Africa, America and Asia followed a similar 'blueprint' thousands of years ago, resulting in fascinating similarities among pyramids.
These are just some of the questions that arise after watching this documentary. What if there is more to history than we are being told? What if ancient cultures around the globe had many similarities that went unperceived until today? And what if, an ancient 'mother civilization' predates civilizations like the ancient Egyptian, Aztec, Maya, etc.?

Researchers conclude ancient Mayan book is authentic
For years, the Grolier Codex has been written off as a fake book, but researchers from various institutions have now come to the conclusion that the ancient Mayan book (thought to be 900 years old) is authentic. RT America's Ashlee Banks has more and speaks with professor at Yale University, Mary Miller, who says, "[the Grolier Codex] is the oldest pre-Hispanic book to survive in the America's" and that it was a "treasured book" for the Mayans.

Ancient texts suggest Maya astronomers mapped planets 700 YEARS before Copernicus
The Ancient Maya were one of the most advanced ancient civilisations ever to exist on the planet and it turns out that they may have mapped the planets in our Solar System over 700 years before Copernicus.
The ancient Maya excelled at agriculture, pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making, mathematics and were one of the most impressive astronomers in the past.
While it is known among scholars that the ancient Maya created sophisticated celestial maps and mapped the sky with extreme precision in order to calculate the length of months and years, their astronomical achievements may have been underestimated by academics.
According to a new study, this ancient Mesoamerican civilisation was so advanced that their knowledge in astronomy rivalled that applied by famous astronomer Copernicus some 700 years later.
According to findings of a leading anthropologist, he uncovered conclusive evidence that indicates ancient Maya astronomers observed the planets in our solar system over 1,000 years ago in a way that centuries later made Renaissance astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus.
Dr Gerardo Aldana, an anthropologist from the University of California Santa Barbara, examined with great detail the Venus Table found in the Dresden Codex and offers a new interpretation of its meaning.
Dr Aldana believes that indicate observations found in the Dresden Codex —a tenth century Ancient Maya book from Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico— may have been greatly overlooked.
Dr Aldana offers an entirely different thinking suggesting that rather than simply being ordinary numerology as many researchers have claimed, the ancient text illustrates intricate astronomical observations made from Chichen Itza.
According to Dr Aldana, this type of astronomical observation may have been developed by the Ancient Maya as early as 870 A, hundreds of years before famous astronomer Copernicus came up with the idea that our sun was located at the centre of our solar system in the early 16th century.
Speaking about his discovery Dr Aldana suggests:
"When you see it as a historical record, it changes the interpretation. They're using Venus not just to chart strictly when it was going to appear, but they were using it for the ritual cycles. They had ritual activities when the whole city would come together, and they would do certain events based on the observation of Venus."
It is well known that the Venus Table contains mathematical corrections for charting the passage of Venus across the sky in order to correct the Maya calendar. Due to the fact that Venus' cycle is irregular —583.92 days— it requires a few corrections just like the Leap Years in the Gregorian calendar nowadays.
However, Dr Aldana indicates that the traditional interpretations of the Venus Table and the hieroglyphics present underestimate the scientific value achieved by the ancient Maya thousands of years ago.
The discoveries of Dr Aldana are published in the Journal of Astronomy and Culture.
His work indicates that the Maya performed astronomy at Chichen Itza during a very specific timeframe.
The anthropologist claims that this period of astronomical study may have occurred under the rule of K'ak' U Pakal K'awiil, one of the most prominent rulers of the city.
"This is the part that I find to be most rewarding, that when we get in here, we're looking at the work of an individual Mayan, and we could call him or her a scientist, an astronomer. This person, who's witnessing events at this one city during this very particular period, created, through their own creativity, this mathematical innovation," said Dr Aldana.
For Dr Aldana to unravel the secrets of the Venus Table, he had to analyse the hieroglyphics until he discovered a key verb, real, had an entirely different meaning than previously believed by researchers.
Dr Aldana believes that the verb was used with the meaning 'to enclose' both in a historical and cosmological context.
Interestingly, he also researchers more records of Venus discovered at another prominent ancient Maya site —Copan— in minder-day Honduras.
According to Dr Aldana, the similarities among the two firmly support the idea that they are historical observations.
Speaking about the discovery Dr Aldana said:
"I'm calling it "discovering discovery", because it's not just their discovery, it's all the blinders that we have, that we've constructed and put in place that prevents us from seeing that this was their own actual scientific discovery made by Mayan people at a Mayan city.
If you say it's just numerology that this date corresponds to – it's not based on anything you can see."
"And if you say, "We're just going to manipulate them [the corrections written] until they give us the most accurate trajectory", you're not confining that whole thing in any historical time."
"If, on the other hand, you say, "This is based on a historical record", that's going to nail down the range of possibilities. And if you say that they were correcting it for a particular kind of purpose, then all of a sudden you have a very small window of when this discovery could have occurred."

The Giant Pyramid Hidden Inside A Mountain

They arrived in their thousands. Hardened by months of war with ferocious natives, near-starvation and exotic diseases, Hernan Cortez and his Spanish army marched into the great city of Cholula expecting a fight.
But this was a sacred city. Instead of investing in weapons, its inhabitants built temples; it was said they had a holy pyramid for every day of the year. After such generosity, their gods would surely protect them.
October 12th 1519 was a bloodbath on an unprecedented scale, leaving 10% of the city's population dead
This was a grave error indeed. As the army stormed its streets, religious treasures were looted and the precious pyramids went up in smoke. Within three hours they had murdered 3,000 people. October 12th 1519 was a bloodbath on an unprecedented scale, leaving 10% of the city's population dead.
Eventually the Spaniards settled in Cholula (now part of Mexico), erecting enough of their own buildings that the city is now known for having a church for every day of the year. The final touch – a symbol of their Christian conquest – is the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remediosa, built on what they thought was a large hill.

But not all is as it seems. Beneath the tiny church, hiding under tufts of grass, trees and soil, is an ancient pyramid of truly gigantic proportions. Standing 450 metres wide and 66 metres tall, from end to end the Great Pyramid of Cholula is equivalent to nine Olympic sized swimming pools.
For an obscure temple no one's heard of, Cholula holds an impressive array of records: it's the largest pyramid on the planet, with a base four times larger than the Great Pyramid at Giza and nearly twice the volume.
Never mind the largest pyramid – it's the largest monument ever constructed anywhere, by any civilisation, to this day. To locals it's aptly known as Tlachihualtepetl ("man-made mountain"). Thanks to the church on top, it's also the oldest continuously occupied building on the continent.
The story goes that until the locals began construction of an insane asylum in 1910, nobody knew it was a pyramid. Certainly, by the time Cortéz and his men arrived, it was already a thousand years old and entirely concealed by vegetation.
Early excavations revealed a series of gruesome findings, including the deformed skulls of decapitated children.
Where did it come from? And why did it stay hidden for so long?
When the pavement was dug up in 2013 to enter the city's drainage system, at least 63 skeletons were found from pre-colonial times (Credit: Getty Images)
It is not one pyramid at all, but a great Russian doll of a construction, consisting of no less than six, one on top of the other
Despite its enormous size, very little is known about the pyramid's early history. It's thought construction began around 300 BC; by who exactly remains a mystery. According to myth it was built by a giant. Most likely, the city's inhabitants – known as the Choluteca – were a cosmopolitan mix. "It appears to have been multi-ethnic, with a great deal of migration," says David Carballo, an archaeologist at Boston University, Massachusetts.
Whoever they were, they probably had a lot of money. Cholula is conveniently located in the Mexican highlands and was an important trading post for thousands of years, linking the Tolteca-Chichimeca kingdoms in the North with the Maya in the South.
Cortez called it "the most beautiful city outside Spain". By the time he arrived, it was the second-largest city in the Aztec empire, though it had already exchanged hands numerous times.
And here there are even more surprises. In fact it's not one pyramid at all, but a great Russian doll of a construction, consisting of no less than six, one on top of the other. It grew in stages, as successive civilisations improved on what had already been built.
"They made a conscious effort to maintain and in some cases display previous construction episodes. This is pretty novel, and shows deliberate efforts to link to the past," says Carballo.

According to legend, when they heard the conquistadors were coming, the locals covered the precious temple with soil themselves. In fact it may have happened by accident. That's because, incredibly, the largest pyramid in the world is made of mud.
"Adobe" bricks are made by mixing mud with other materials such as sand or straw, and baking it hard in the sun. To make the pyramid, the outer bricks were smoothed with more earth to create a painting surface. In its prime, the temple was covered in red, black and yellow insects.
In dry climates, mud bricks are extremely durable – lasting thousands of years. In humid Mexico, the mud creation was a fertile platform for tropical jungle. "It was abandoned sometime in the 7th or 8th Century CE. The Choluteca had a newer pyramid-temple located nearby, which the Spaniards destroyed," says Carballo.
The pyramid also had topography in its favour; the pyramid rests on a natural platform in an area which is almost completely mountainous.
Today the city has reclaimed their pyramid, which can be explored via over five miles of tunnels constructed in the early 20th Century. Nearly 500 years after the colonial conquest, the city must contend with a new invasion: tourists.

5 Of The Most Advanced Ancient Civilizations On Earth You Should Know About
In this article, we take a look at five of the MOST ADVANCED Ancient Civilizations on the planet.
Ancient Egyptian Civilization
The ancient Egyptians were renowned for being super advanced not only in Mathematics and Architecture but in Medicine and Astronomy like only a few other civilizations on Earth.
Thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians developed medicine that allowed them to treat parasitic disease and malaria while flourishing on the River Nile.
Their knowledge of anatomy enabled them to treat a number of diseases using unconventional methods.
In other words, the Ancient Egyptian Civilization Helped shape the world we live in today.
Interestingly, Ancient Egyptian is considered as one of the oldest languages on planet Earth; it has survived for five thousand years, having a lifespan longer than nearly all other languages on Earth.
According to researchers, their language can be divided into five phases: Old Egyptian, Middle Egyptian, Late Egyptian, Demotic, and Coptic. Interestingly, their ancient writing system –which was made up of a complex system of hieroglyphics—can be traced back to around 2690 BC.
Scientifically speaking, the ancient Egyptians were way ahead of their time and by 1650 BC, they had a grasp of multiplication, division, fractions, prime numbers, linear equations, and geometry.
Oh and, not to mention that SOMEHOW, they erected some of the greatest ancient monuments on the surface of the planet: The Pyramids.
However, personally, one of the most interesting things about the ancient Egyptians is the fact that they were the first ancient civilization that invented a way to measure time. The ancient Egyptians did not only invent the calendar; they created the machine that kept track of time and had two types: Water Clocks and Sun Clocks.
Ancient Maya Civilization
Just as the Ancient Egyptians, the Ancient Maya were brilliant astronomers and even better mathematicians. They are credited –although it is still disuputed— for the invention of the ZERO and measuring the length of a solar year with fascinating accuracy.
The ancient Maya developed and flourished in the southernmost parts of modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
The Ancient Maya were one of the most important and developed ancient civilizations ever to exist on Earth. They are especially noted for the Maya script, the only known developed writing system of the Pre-Columbian Americas. The earliest inscriptions of a Maya script and identifiable Maya writing go back as far as the 3rd century BCE and were discovered in San Bartolo, Guatemala.
Interestingly, this ancient Mesoamerican civilization is known to have PERFECTED the use of RUBBER creation diverse products from it 3,000 years before people in the old World even knew what rubber was.
The truth is that when Spanish conquistadores set foot on the American Continent and met the Ancient Maya civilization, they encountered not a primitive culture, but one that was extremely developed leaving many Spaniards astonished.
Indus Valley Civilization
The Ancient Indus Valley Civilization is considered –based on a new study— as one of the oldest civilization on the planet (8,000 years old) and even predates the Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilization by thousands of years.
The ancient Indus Valley Civilization is known for some things, but most importantly for their extremely well-planned cities. Before cities such as Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro were built, its constructors planned every single detail about the cities with extreme detail.
According to researchers during its peak, the Indus Valley Civilization may have had a population of over FIVE MILLION inhabitants.
They were among the first ancient cultures to create houses from backed bricks and incorporated extremely elaborate drainage systems and water supply systems.
It is noteworthy to mention that the Indus Valley Civilization achieved fascinating accuracy in measuring mass, time and length. In fact, the Indus Valley Civilization was among the first to develop a system of uniform weights and measures.
The Ancient Civilization of Caral
One of the most mysterious and advanced ancient civilization to ever exist in South America is a civilization called Caral, which lived in the coastal region of modern-day Peru.
According to historians, one of the earliest forms of communication –equivalent in age to the Cuneiform Script developed by ancient Mesopotamian civbiliztations—on Earth was developed by the ancient civilization of Caral.
In fact, archaeologists believe that Caral is one of the most sophisticated ancient civilizations ever to develop on Earth.
This ancient civilization created pyramids, circular plazas, and intricate staircases thousands of years ago.
Their pyramidal complex covers a staggering 165 acres and is one of the largest on Earth.
The Pyramids built by the ancient civilization of Caral is contemporary with the ancient Egyptian Pyramids.
The main pyramid found at Caral covers a staggering area nearly the size of four football fields and is eighteen meters high.
One of the most important things we have to mention about Caral is that no weapons, no mutilated bodies or any signs of warfare are present on the site, which points to the fact that Caral was a diplomatic and highly developed culture and the oldest city in the western hemisphere.
It turns out that the not-so-famous ancient Peruvian civilization developed advanced methods in agronomy, medicine, engineering and architecture over 5000 years ago. Their knowledge in several science ahs left today's researchers perplexed and unable to answer the many mysteries behind the greatest South American civilization to develop independently.
As for energy exploitation and fluid mechanics, Caral took advantage of the wind, now known as the Venturi Effect, by channeling it through underground ducts in order to achieve high temperatures through bonfires.
Interestingly, researchers have found that the ancient inhabitants of Caral used willow —containing the *active chemical ingredient of aspirin*— to relieve pain such as headaches.
The ancient engineers of Caral were splendid engineers mastering civil engineering and applied seismic resistance technology to the over-5000-year-old constructions.
The Ancient Civilization of Tiahuanaco
Thousands of ears ago an advanced civilization rose near the shores of Lake Titicaca in the Andean mountains quickly becoming one fo the most advanced civilization on Earth. Strangely, like many other advanced civilizations, this too disappeared some 500 years after its rise.
The sophisticated people of Tiahuanaco created fabulous cities like Tiahuanaco and Puma Punku and were the FOREFATHERS of another great civilization. The Gateway of the Sun is on of the most well-known structures. According to archaeologist Arthur Posnanky, the temples the ancient Tiahuanaco civilization made was designed with polished stone blocks that have several rows of small round holes, according to Posnanky, they could have been used to hold something in the distant past. These round holes are so precise that it is hard to believe that ancient civilizations made them without some sort of advanced technology.
