Baltic Sea Discovery Reveals Ancient Construction?

A Live Science article indicates that a mysterious underwater feature discovered in the Baltic Sea by a team of Swedish treasure hunters is back in the news.
According to “‘Mysterious’ Baltic Sea Object Is a Glacial Deposit,” the latest furor is that Peter Lindberg, head of the Ocean X team was interviewed on the radio and is quoted as saying:

“It has these very strange stair formations, and if it is constructed, it must be constructed tens of thousands of years ago before the Ice Age,”

The following image is only an illustration of the object and has been discounted by experts.

While I appreciate their caution, didn’t anyone tell them about Doggerland, the sunken landmass in the North Sea?

Why can’t there be evidence of another sunken landmass in the Baltic?

Pyramid Discovery Dated to the Time of the Dinosaurs

In an article from the Pakistan Observer entitled, “World’s oldest pyramid found in Crimea“, Ukrainian scientist Vitalii Goh has announced the discovery of a buried pyramid 45 metres tall and 72 metres on a side. It is purported to be hollow inside and have a mummified ‘unknown creature’ buried under the foundation with a crown on his head. The article says that the structure was built during the time of the dinosaurs.

With only three short paragraphs, the data is incomplete and doesn’t provide the location, but such a discovery does jibe with my great-grandfather’s theories. For instance, James includes a picture of a petroglyph that appears to resemble a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the 1926 Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Men (shown below.)

There is still much to be reported on this discovery, but it just may be the proof that shows we really do have a forgotten past or it may be just the latest hoax.

Followup to “New Species Discovered – What Would James Think?”

After the discovery of the Denisova hominid announced in 2010, I commented on how James may have reacted to the news in a blog posting, “New Species Discovered – What Would James Churchward Think?.”

New information has emerged that indicates that the Denisova hominid shares DNA with Homo Sapiens. Scientific American relates in an article entitled, “New DNA Analysis Shows Ancient Humans Interbred with Denisovans” that DNA analysis has shown that human separated from the Denisovans between 700,000 and 170,000 years ago and the species interbred with each other. Another curious conclusion:

Yet contemporary residents of mainland Asia do not seem to posses Denisovian traces in their DNA, a “very curious” fact, Hawks says. “We’re looking at a very interesting population scenario”—one that does not jibe entirely with what we thought we knew about how waves modern human populations migrated into and through Asia and out to Oceania’s islands. This new genetic evidence might indicate that perhaps an early wave of humans moved through Asia, mixed with Denisovans and then relocated to the islands—to be replaced in Asia by later waves of human migrants from Africa. “It’s not totally obvious that that works really well with what we know about the diversity of Asians and Australians,” Hawks says. But further genetic analysis and study should help to clarify these early migrations.

These findings change what we know about how populations moved across the globe.
Maybe James theories are not quite so silly after all, given the information and technology of his time.
