"I assumed the food in the seed would be no good after all that time. How could it be?" said Solowey. She was soon proven wrong. After eight weeks, a small green shoot emerged from one seed, producing a sapling no one had seen in centuries and becoming the oldest known tree seed to germinate. The plant was nicknamed "Methuselah," after the longest-lived person in the Bible.

I believe the oldest tree in the world is also called Methuselah too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methuselah_(tree)

Methuselah is a 4,853-year-old[1] Great Basin bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) tree growing high in the White Mountains of Inyo County in eastern California.[2][3] It is recognized as the non-clonal tree with the greatest confirmed age in the world.[4] The tree's name refers to the biblical patriarch Methuselah, who ostensibly lived to more than 900 years of age, thus synonymous with longevity.

8 Mysterious Facts about Gunung Padang Pyramid. Geologically dated to be +20,000 years old. Indonesian Govt was offered $1 Billion for 60% ownership, after advanced technology was discovered in 2014. Excavation has not resumed since. by Tom_Bombadil in AncientHistory

I reckon planetary shield generator, currently being rolled out as 5G after the haarp experiments worked. They knew, as we do now, that the magnetosphere was about to collapse, and the only thing that will keep us safe is a generated high frequency shield

I don't think anything good will come of 5G. It's like a human genocide plan.

Nothing that the humans can conceivably produce can protect us from solar catastrophe on the surface of the Earth when it's strikes. Any electrical equipment will be fried instantly.

The only survivors will be deep underground.

5G is for a global drone takeover. Or fake alien invasion. Or something similarly nefarious.

Who knows what that ill conceived end game will produce.

i imagine something similar to the pyramids. Big long tunnels with salty water.

Also, huge pipes driven deep.

Its just forming an electrical coupling with earth, so needs to have a big volume of earth to discharge into / charge from (AC)

The king's chamber in the big pyramid used to contain the arc of the covenant, a now lost tech which generated an oscillating field - (which is why people had to wear special protective gear when handling it or their faces fell off). The pyramid structure coupled this into the earth/atmosphere electrical system to pump energy into it. Did you know the thing used to be coated with an insulating smooth white surface, with a golden cap? The electrical nature of the thing is so obvious.

I reckon planetary shield generator, currently being rolled out as 5G after the haarp experiments worked. They knew, as we do now, that the magnetosphere was about to collapse, and the only thing that will keep us safe is a generated high frequency shield.

total supposition from an autistic chaos creature.

these structures remind me of tesla's tower. Bases are deeply coupled to earth with salt water and metal, top is high up to increase voltage potential. Chamber inside to hold resonator. They are designed, imo, to feed energy into the earth's atmosphere and build an artificial resonant EM shield for when the magnetosphere collapses, a bit like the 5G network can this time around.

Planetary defense grid power stations.

Not quite.

They'd be fine with the alien hoax, cause they are setting it up as a hoax. And the hoaxters all know about it.

I think that the ancient civilizations info is legit, but suppressed to keep the group unified in the current chosen-people belief.

If people discover that there have been previous iterations of advanced civilization then they will question the group unity, and try to determine the root-cause for the cataclysm to mitigate the catastrophe in the future.

A discovery like this could derail the plans of the elite, who always think that they'll escape in the end.

I don't think that ancient civilizations are hoaxes. The Sphinx was created before the end of the last ice age, and probably the pyramids, as well. We couldn't make them that precisely today, so the ancients were at least as capable as we. It's likely not a coincidence that the megafauna in the Americas died off at the same time (13000 years ago).

Because you've told you're cabal that your ethnic group is the original race, and the chosen by God. Any other more ancient and more advanced civilization undermines the hoax of the cabal.

Especially, the main members who actually believe their crazy prophecy(s). Cause if it's proven to be fake, then it all falls apart.

Aliens, are a hoax that the cabal is in on, so it's controlled by the cabal. Not a threat.

I agree 100% if you're saying what I think you are.

You're saying that the "more advanced aliens" would undermine "their" supremacy as "God's chosen ones" etc etc (I assume you mean hebrews, but this works equally as well for any religious extremism) - and thus it's not the play they will take. I agree!

Along this vein - an "alien invasion" would have to be purely of "destruction" - and "defeated" in a "War of the Worlds" kind of sense - (my guess would be by one of the two religions that propound alien knowledge - to set themselves up as one world religion would be the "saviors".)

But even that is relatively complicated and involves the wasting of resources, land - infrastructure - essentially - it ruins a bunch of the big-kids lego pieces!!

I don't think they want to get rid of us - there are a billion ways they could have done that already... I feel like they want us alive and functioning (to a certain limit obviously) and feeding and building their monstrosity.

Following that thought, then yes, the "ancient civilization" "green beam" idea would be far more likely.

Edit: still watching the videos (in order, as suggested)

Also, I suspect an Extinction level event is going to happen in the next 100 years that has nothing to do with any human activity. The magnetic poles are moving, and accelerating. The Earth's magnetosphere is significantly weakening, so we're many multiples more vulnerable to solar disaster from coronal mass ejections than we were in the 70's or 80's.

The media won't mention it cause it will begin a mass panic.

Watch these two videos in order. They are quality sources.

These videos are a crash course of how fucked we all are. :-/.

These ancient and advanced civilizations disappeared for a reason. Next to nothing was left standing. Nothing can stop this.

The handful of survivors lived Underground to escape. Interesting timing that DARPA urgently requested Underground facilities yesterday, with today as the deadline.

Even so, we have years, and possibly decades to get the tunnels ready. The poles aren't moving that quickly.

One additional Interesting factoid. The expected point of magnetic pole convergence is right next to Indonesia...

It was this particular site that started my questioning of the whole "Hancockian-Atlantis" vector the "research" community appears to be headed down.

While I personally have no evidence against this site - there are some things that stand out to me - especially when I consider my own thesis about why this is happening.

Long story short: instead of a "blue beam from space" - I think we may very well see a "Green beam from earth" - that is to say, the faking of ancient sites/artifacts/lineages to enact a political power-play.

Such a thing might explain how complaints like these, are actually occuring:

I tried to be pretty thorough before writing my critique of your work at Gunung Padang. I sought out every morsel of information I could find that you had released on the net. I watched a number of videos where you were interviewed, or where you toured the site with visiting alternative scholars, like Andrew Collins, Robert Schoch, and Semir Osmanagic of Bosnian “Pyramid” fame. I surveyed a wide sample of media reports and articles about your findings, both credulous and skeptical. Now, you say we should not make judgments or criticisms until your findings have been formally published—but your reservations do not seem to apply to the Atlantis True Believers who have been merrily building great towers of speculation on exactly the same data as I had access to. In effect, you have handed control of the Gunung Padang narrative over to the lunatic fringe, while telling those of us with any professional expertise to shut up and wait for the data. There’s something wrong with that picture.

As much as I am part of the "lunatic fringe" (and a target of and still a non-believer in - the mainstream science apparatus) being handed the site, I agree with their assessment... something is wrong here.


Indonesian government geologist Danny Natawidjaja says that his team’s work in 2011 drilled into the hill and found rocks, organic material, and possible cement that had radiocarbon dates back to 22,000 BCE. The dated organic samples were not associated with artifacts and therefore are dependent on the hypothesis that the entire hill is an artificial construction.


We all know symbols matter to those in charge.

So why is "Hancock" the first to put his name to paper (ie: resigning his social status to start change and inspire others to "sign up") - Dr Richard Firestone (and his fiery-stone... he was the one who proposed the comet theory...) - and Danny Hilman... and his... hill.

Tenuous, perhaps... but I still notice this shit and I know the enemy isn't stupid, as much as it seems at times.

Why fake an alien invasion - when you can falsely claim to be "Atlantean" - show people your (tax-payer purchased) "space ships" and "magic medicines"... and you can fire up ANY political power move YOU WANT. ANYTHING.

You want to attack China using greenbeam as the set-up? Easy. You want to get people to give up all tech by lying and saying it's what sank atlantis (or some equally stupid shit)? Easy. You want people to bow down and worship you? Easy.

Why eliminate most of the population, when they are your "cash cows"... literally. Let the cows fight over the slowly depleted resources, it won't touch you in the ivory tower, right? Time and time again, they show a propensity for NOT wanting to get their own hands dirty.

That's why I say fuck aliens, fuck blue beam - it's THIS shit - this archeology shit, that's what the real plan is. Just as I said they will make a conspiracy theorist of as many people as possible, so they can use the outrage to over-throw the old world order - they will equally use this "new-archaeology" to overthrow previous history and rewrite it (to their benefit, obviously).

Tread carefully.

It's not yet clear why the isotopes should be different in bones and teeth, but DeSantis said it might have something to do with the enamel on the latter. "Enamel is highly inorganic, so it's less prone to alteration after it's been deposited [in a tar pit]," she said. That makes enamel the gold standard in terms of preserving isotopes.

My guess was exposure to solar radiation, which is why a radioactive difference was mentioned.

The ice age was ended by a massive solar outburst. It all went down in a matter of days, or possibly weeks.

The Earth's magnetosphere was overwhelmed and the megafauna died of radiation sickness. The enamel retained the evidence.

Btw. I also think that it is pretty ridiculous how people nowdays can't believe anything unless there is a link on the internet to a site where everything got claimed by just another peep. As if things only got real if there is a link to it on the internet. When you tell people what you experienced in real life, they will cry for "sources" and call you an idiot if reality is your only source. People also cry for "sources" even when there are sources so damn easy to find on the internet that they only would need to type a single world into the search engine of their choice. People nowdays are so damn lazy with self-thinking, it's outragious.

I don't even know how many children my grandma had. But I know that not all of them survived and the death of a young child was pretty common back then. There were abortions with hangers and other desperate things that usually killed the woman herself. Apart from sexual abstinence, there was no contraception available for women and she was required by law to fulfill her "spousal duties". Contraceptives were originally intended exclusively for men. The "pill" was originally developed as a pill for men. It was decided to test them on women because men were very bad at tolerating them. The women also tolerated them very badly, but that was not so bad for the developers, a woman was in the understanding of these men always worth less than any man.

It beggers the questions about where these people went. We BELIEVE the neanders and denisovans were bred out due to sterile hybrid offspring with humans, but us having their DNA does not denote a certain end for them.

It's amazing how similar Ancient Rome was to modern society; they had a republic, they graffiti similar to modern-day "shitposts", and they even had fast food! At this rate, soon I will hear of a Roman precurser to email (probably some kind of mail service). Many modern societies seem to basically be Rome, but with cars, computers, internet, mass production, and a massive population size, due to less death for various reasons. I wonder how much has changed since Rome and how much has stayed the same. They even had complicated engineering there and sewage too!

Edit: It looks like Pompeii was buried before Christianity got large. I think that may be a big component of the familiarity!

Ah, okay. Fair enough. I'm not totally familiar with this site, but based on the structure of the counters in the photos, it does seem to imply some sort of counter structure for a business. I'm holding out for the additional analysis and further excavation/restoration before making any judgments. Since these are just the news articles, its difficult to get a real sense of what the archeologists were really finding, not just what the media interpreted as their findings
