Ancient monuments all over the worlds from the Pyramids of Giza, to Mexico to the ancient sites of China are reacting. to a brewing crisis not of this earth, but somewhere out in the solar system. Connecting to each other through the oceans. Using low frequency sound waves to create an ancient network. The earth is thrown into panic stations. For it seems that the signals emanating from Atlantis are a prelude to something much greater. Could it be that the entire city is in fact one giant ancient machine? And to what end?

Excerpt from: Tales of the Deluge: A Global Report on Cultural Self-Replicating Genesis Myths, Dr. Richard Scott, 2 008EVIDENCE BEFORE THE UNITED STATES SENATE WASHINGTON D.C. JUNE 14, 1960(Based on actual transcripts) If this agreement is appro ved, Senator Aiken said as he tapped out his ash from behind a th ick veil of blue cigarette smoke, Antarctica becomes a country wi thout a government. Of course, it doesn't have too much governmen t now, but no government is provided for Antarctica under any con ditions in the future?Herman Phleger shuffled through his papers and coughed, hoping to cash in on some spit. He failed. It was a hot, humid day. The brass and maple ceiling fans worked overtime. A whiff of freshly cut grass wafted in from the lawn outside. Ma nicured, the way mankind intended. And Herman Phleger was forced to cough again.Is there a problem, Mr. Phleger?Uh, yes, sir-- Phl eger croaked. He looked around for a clerk. Stood.Please use the microphone in front of you, Mr. Phleger. I think we're all agreed we can't quite hear you. The Senator's smile to his colleagues w as a craggy one. There was a ripple of humorless laughter from th e rest of the committee. It echoed off the wood paneling and arou nd the sparsely populated Congressional hearing room.Phleger lean ed down close to the gadget. The squeal of feedback was painful. Uh, I could use some more water, Senator. He straightened his tie and re-took his seat.Aiken waved at a clerk to take some water o ver to the State Department's legal advisor. After all, Herman Ph leger was the man who had headed the U.S. delegation at the Confe rence on Antarctica. He at least deserved a glass of water.Phlege r leaned in close to the microphone again as he adjusted his chai r and thanked the Senator. He could almost hear the old bastard's cogs whirring from across the room.The Red scare. Grab some terr itory now while we still can. What with Khrushchev still fuming o ver that U-2 spyplane business back in May and Eisenhower on the defensive, sending 120 planes out to Southeast Asia last Thursday . Yeah, okay, so China and Russia aren't exactly on speaking term s but that's playing with fire. Of course Francis Gary Powers was working for the military: everyone in the State Department knew that. Although it wasn't exactly a lie when the government had tr ied to say he was flying a weather plane. They simply wanted to k now whether or not the Russians had any missiles in the area.The clerk set a pitcher of ice water down on the desk. The legal advi sor ignored the hissing and popping of exploding ice cubes as he poured himself a glass and gulped down a mouthful.Senator, he sai d, sighing with relief and mopping at his brow, the Treaty specif ically provides that no one surrenders its claim. There are seven claims which cover eighty percent of Antarctica: the United King dom, France, Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. You take the sector Argentina and Chile have--they've inc orporated it into their metropolitan territories and have crimina l codes which they claim apply to them, and the same is true with respect to New Zealand. So they do have government in those terr itories. So tough shit, Senator, we just weren't quick enough whe n it was time to stake a claim. Just be glad the Russkies don't h ave a plot either. Phleger coughed again. So, Senator, there may only be fifty people in the area but they do have governments.Aik en was clearly uncomfortable with that thought. He shifted in his chair, like his ass spoke his mind for him. But after the adopti on of this Treaty, would the laws of a dozen countries apply?Phle ger didn't need to check his notes. He shook his head. The Treaty says that the signatories do not give up their claims, but the o ther signatories like the United States that do not recognize the ir claims do not by the Treaty recognize the claims and their pos ition of non-recognition. There, that ought to confuse the old bu zzard. It did. He watched him shift on his ass again.Phleger pret ended to be impatient. For instance, headded, if there was a comm ercial man--the Treaty deals with scientists and it deals with mi litary matters ... It was clear Aiken wanted a re-cap on that are A. Phleger took another breath.Okay, he said, if we send a scient ist or an inspector into the section claimed by Chile, he can't b e arrested by Chile. Our jurisdiction applies to him no matter wh ere he is in Antarctica--because we made the decision not to reco gnize other claims to the territory, and because those other clai mants made the concession that they would allow our scientists an d unarmed military personnel to work within their territory on An tarctica. But, if there should be a mining engineer who went down into the sector claimed by Chile and he got into some trouble, C hile would claim that its laws governed.Aiken frowned.Phleger shi fted this time. Was Aiken really that low on short-term memory? A nd in that case, Senator, he explained, we would claim that Chile 's law did not govern because we do not recognize Chile's claim, and there would then be an international controversy as to who ha d jurisdiction over the individual.It was double-Dutch. Phleger k new it was double-Dutch. Aiken didn't appear to know it was doubl e-Dutch, but he didn't appear not to know either. Which was fine. So long as they were all in agreement. Since in essence, they we re merely playing out what the Antarctic Treaty stated, which was : no matter what the claims of a single country over the region k nown as Antarctica, those claims could be freely ignored by every one else. Except, and this was an important proviso, except in th e case of a military build-up, which, it was agreed, was to be ba nned by everyone. Totally. Unless, of course, someone infringed u pon the rights of the others as set out by the Treaty, in which c ase--We don't even recognize any claim of our own, do we? Aiken r eiterated.Phleger almost nodded. He rubbed his chin. This was the ir legal reasoning. By recognizing that there is no sovereignty o ver Antarctica we retain jurisdiction over our citizens who go do wn there and we would deny the right of the other claimants to tr y that citizen. Yes.Aiken sat back in his chair, a crooked grin o n his craggy face. That pleased him enormously. He stubbed out hi s cigarette and immediately reached for another. Boys, I think we just found one more virtue of the bomb! There was another ripple of laughter. He was right. Aside from the Soviet Union, who the hell was going to argue with them? You didn't need to be the firs t. You needed to be the toughest.Aiken lit the fresh cigarette an d inhaled. He had a curious look on his face. Somber. Suppose, Mr . Phleger, he pondered, that there was a sudden and tremendous de mand for emperor penguins?Sir? I'm not sure I'm follow--Penguins, Mr. Phleger. There are serious conservation issues here. What if people went down there and started killing all the emperor pengu ins? Who could prevent that?The people in each of the geographica l areas covered by the seven claimant nations would claim they ha d a right to protect those penguins.Then suppose one of our boys went into the Chilean area and stole a snow cat. What law would h e violate?A snow cat?! What on earth was this old buzzard talking about? Snow cats didn't come from Antarctica. Phleger bit the bu llet. The Chileans apply Chilean law, he said.And we would deny i t?We would apply U.S. law and we would have an international cont roversy.I see.Senator, it doesn't matter, the reason for the crim e. Yes, the environment down there is an issue in the Treaty, but the situations you describe just aren't covered. We would have t o go to mediation over the issue, if it ever arose. We are dealin g with an area where we have no territorial claims and this Treat y deals with matters in the international field exclusively. That 's why it's important that Antarctica remain demilitarized.Aiken' s face adopted another grimace. That's all well and good, Mr. Phl eger, but supposing natural resources of great value were discove red in Antarctica, of value enough so that it would justify an im mense cost to exploit them. It might be a vein of diamonds a foot thick.Phleger let a sneer cross his face. He was no fan of Aiken , but he was a patriot. There is no provision in this Treaty whic h would deal with that situation, Senator. If there was a discove ry of value in a sector which was claimed by one of the claimant nations it would naturally claim sovereignty and the right to dic tate the manner of exploitation. The United States on the other h and, never having recognized the validity of that claim, is in a position to assert that it has rights in respect thereto. And of course, should someone break the Treaty on demilitarization to pr otect its claim, the United States may use whatever force is nece ssary in order to protect the Treaty.Aiken smiled. At least, that 's what we can say.Yes, Senator. We can. The Antarctic Treaty wa s ratified by the U.S. Senate by 66 votes to 21 on August 10, 196 0. And that was how the world left it until 1993, when it was agr eed that everyone should plow through this shoddy mess one more t ime. And again it was agreed that apart from the banning of the m ilitary and banning the exploitation of mineral wealth in respect to the environment, no country could lay claim to Antarctica.Whi ch was a dangerous conclusion to reach for a number of reasons, o ne of which had yet even to be addressed. For it proved that the Antarctic Treaty's vague double-talk had achieved exactly what it had set out to do: that should it stand as law in the face of ov erwhelming social change, its basic tenet would remain: that if a nything of value were discovered in Antarctica; anarchy would rei gn supreme.The Antarctic Treaty guaranteed that even if mankind h ad any desire to rid itself of the Seven Deadly Sins, Greed had b een assured of a place in our hearts by virtue of time. By writin g it down on a piece of paper and parading it as law and belief, Greed could be resurrected at a moment's notice.That was the beau ty of the written word. It was invariably taken at face value and granted permit to be spoken as the truth. It lived longer than t he man.And wreaked havoc in the process.DECIPHER. Copyright © 200 1 by Stel Pavlou.

For instance, headded, if there was a comm ercial man--the Treaty deals with scientists and it deals with mi litary matters ... It was clear Aiken wanted a re-cap on that are A. Phleger took another breath.Okay, he said, if we send a scient ist or an inspector into the section claimed by Chile, he can't b e arrested by Chile. Our jurisdiction applies to him no matter wh ere he is in Antarctica--because we made the decision not to reco gnize other claims to the territory, and because those other clai mants made the concession that they would allow our scientists an d unarmed military personnel to work within their territory on An tarctica. But, if there should be a mining engineer who went down into the sector claimed by Chile and he got into some trouble, C hile would claim that its laws governed.Aiken frowned.Phleger shi fted this time. Was Aiken really that low on short-term memory? A nd in that case, Senator, he explained, we would claim that Chile 's law did not govern because we do not recognize Chile's claim, and there would then be an international controversy as to who ha d jurisdiction over the individual.It was double-Dutch. Phleger k new it was double-Dutch. Aiken didn't appear to know it was doubl e-Dutch, but he didn't appear not to know either. Which was fine. So long as they were all in agreement. Since in essence, they we re merely playing out what the Antarctic Treaty stated, which was : no matter what the claims of a single country over the region k nown as Antarctica, those claims could be freely ignored by every one else. Except, and this was an important proviso, except in th e case of a military build-up, which, it was agreed, was to be ba nned by everyone. Totally. Unless, of course, someone infringed u pon the rights of the others as set out by the Treaty, in which c ase--We don't even recognize any claim of our own, do we? Aiken r eiterated.Phleger almost nodded. He rubbed his chin. This was the ir legal reasoning. By recognizing that there is no sovereignty o ver Antarctica we retain jurisdiction over our citizens who go do wn there and we would deny the right of the other claimants to tr y that citizen. Yes.Aiken sat back in his chair, a crooked grin o n his craggy face. That pleased him enormously. He stubbed out hi s cigarette and immediately reached for another. Boys, I think we just found one more virtue of the bomb! There was another ripple of laughter. He was right. Aside from the Soviet Union, who the hell was going to argue with them? You didn't need to be the firs t. You needed to be the toughest.Aiken lit the fresh cigarette an d inhaled. He had a curious look on his face. Somber. Suppose, Mr . Phleger, he pondered, that there was a sudden and tremendous de mand for emperor penguins?Sir? I'm not sure I'm follow--Penguins, Mr. Phleger. There are serious conservation issues here. What if people went down there and started killing all the emperor pengu ins? Who could prevent that?The people in each of the geographica l areas covered by the seven claimant nations would claim they ha d a right to protect those penguins.Then suppose one of our boys went into the Chilean area and stole a snow cat. What law would h e violate?A snow cat?! What on earth was this old buzzard talking about? Snow cats didn't come from Antarctica. Phleger bit the bu llet. The Chileans apply Chilean law, he said.And we would deny i t?We would apply U.S. law and we would have an international cont roversy.I see.Senator, it doesn't matter, the reason for the crim e. Yes, the environment down there is an issue in the Treaty, but the situations you describe just aren't covered. We would have t o go to mediation over the issue, if it ever arose. We are dealin g with an area where we have no territorial claims and this Treat y deals with matters in the international field exclusively. That 's why it's important that Antarctica remain demilitarized.Aiken' s face adopted another grimace. That's all well and good, Mr. Phl eger, but supposing natural resources of great value were discove red in Antarctica, of value enough so that it would justify an im mense cost to exploit them. It might be a vein of diamonds a foot thick.Phleger let a sneer cross his face. He was no fan of Aiken , but he was a patriot. There is no provision in this Treaty whic h would deal with that situation, Senator. If there was a discove ry of value in a sector which was claimed by one of the claimant nations it would naturally claim sovereignty and the right to dic tate the manner of exploitation. The United States on the other h and, never having recognized the validity of that claim, is in a position to assert that it has rights in respect thereto. And of course, should someone break the Treaty on demilitarization to pr otect its claim, the United States may use whatever force is nece ssary in order to protect the Treaty.Aiken smiled. At least, that 's what we can say.Yes, Senator. We can. The Antarctic Treaty wa s ratified by the U.S. Senate by 66 votes to 21 on August 10, 196 0. And that was how the world left it until 1993, when it was agr eed that everyone should plow through this shoddy mess one more t ime. And again it was agreed that apart from the banning of the m ilitary and banning the exploitation of mineral wealth in respect to the environment, no country could lay claim to Antarctica.Whi ch was a dangerous conclusion to reach for a number of reasons, o ne of which had yet even to be addressed. For it proved that the Antarctic Treaty's vague double-talk had achieved exactly what it had set out to do: that should it stand as law in the face of ov erwhelming social change, its basic tenet would remain: that if a nything of value were discovered in Antarctica; anarchy would rei gn supreme.The Antarctic Treaty guaranteed that even if mankind h ad any desire to rid itself of the Seven Deadly Sins, Greed had b een assured of a place in our hearts by virtue of time. By writin g it down on a piece of paper and parading it as law and belief, Greed could be resurrected at a moment's notice.That was the beau ty of the written word. It was invariably taken at face value and granted permit to be spoken as the truth. It lived longer than t he man.And wreaked havoc in the process.DECIPHER. Copyright © 200 1 by Stel Pavlou.

Fiction, Ancient monuments all over the world - from the Pyramids of Giza, to Mexico, to the ancient sites of China - are also awakening, reacting to a brewing crisis not of this earth, connecting to each other in some kind of ancient global network. A small group of scientists is assembled to attempt to unravel the mystery. What they discover will change the world. Imagine that 12,000 years ago it really did rain for 40 days and 40 nights. That storms reigned supreme. Imagine that survivors of human civilization really were forced to take to boats or hide out in caves on mountaintops. Then consider that these same myths from around the world predict this kind of devastation will occur time and again. What could cause such a catastrophe? What occurs in nature with such frightening and predictable regularity? A pulsar. But this is not just any pulsar - the ordinary type that pulses once a second, a minute, or even a week. This pulses once every 12,000 years and sends out a gravity wave of such ferocity it beggars belief. Not only that, it's closer than anybody has ever imagined. For it lives in our own backyard. It is the Sun. eBook.
