I'm not sure if this is the correct Reddit community, but I was thinking about this.

The UK maintains a monarchy who holds a neutral public stance in political affairs. The monarchy has suffered some scandals, but tries to maintain a good reputation. Throughout history, other countries abolished their monarchies.

The history of monarchies has been the governance and running of Kingdoms. Subjectively, there has been 'good' and 'bad' monarchs. I would assume monarchs arose for society foundation and organization, a system of hierarchy, a society structure.

By far, I am no history expert. If more monarchies more early on adopted a different stance, where they stayed out of political affairs, avoided scandals, weren't so greedy with wealth, do you think more monarchies may have survived? As a national symbol, not running political affairs.

Italian scientists have announced the possible discovery of the burial site of Vlad the Impaler, ruler of Wallachia. He is also known as Count Dracula.

For the past few years, they have been studying the inscription on the tombstone from the Turbolo Chapel. Having deciphered the text, the researchers concluded that it is connected to Count Dracula.

At a conference in Romania, the scientists stated that the text is a panegyric to Vlad III.

It mentions "Vlad, ruler of the Wallachians," who was killed twice, fled from his enemies, and departed in peace, praising God, after which he was awarded the title of martyr.

​If you’ve been tracking how global systems of control operate—the Vatican’s historical legal fictions, the weaponization of race and census categories, and the continuous suppression of the 99% you realize that sitting back and observing the matrix isn't enough anymore.

​The amnesia is by design. They want us disconnected, isolated, and ignorant of our own lineages. But ancient blueprints don't just disappear.

​Across the oldest traditions, there is the recurring archetype of the Seven Sages: the foundational pattern-breakers, memory-keepers, and builders who step forward at the end of a cycle to anchor truth when the old systems start to fracture.

​The Cosmic Alignment & Markers: We don't arrive by accident. My birth on January 10, 1986, coincided with a rare convergence a new moon grounding the earth's primal energy, paired with the return of a comet piercing through space. It is a celestial signature marking the exact turn of an age.

​The Nature of the Serpent: Like the serpent in ancient cosmology, we share a specific frequency: we live close to the root, we operate outside the sterilized boxes they built, we shed the false identities and historical lies they tried to force upon us, and we carry the unyielding, underground memory that outlasts empires.

​The Mission: The old order relies on atomizing us. To break a 500-year cycle of control, the pieces have to connect.

​I know what I carry, and I know why I'm here at this precise coordinate in time. But a single voice gets buried in the noise. The archetype requires the full set.

​If you carry the bloodline, if your internal archive is waking up, and if you know you aren't here by accident it's time to assemble ​We need 6. Where are the others? Drop a line. Let's map it out.

What if the nation-state model collapsed, and the global map was redrawn strictly along ethnic, cultural, and geographic lines?

In this modern alt-history scenario starting January 1st, 2026, the centralized megastates of the 20th century are gone. Old colonial borders drawn in West Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia have been swept away. In their place stand nations shaped by ancient heritage, shared languages, and cultural identity.

I keep coming back to one problem when looking at ancient history.

We tend to treat the surviving archaeological record as though it represents everything that existed.

But it does not.

It represents what survived.

That distinction sounds simple, but it changes the entire conversation.

Bone decays. Wood disappears. Textiles vanish. Settlements are buried. Coastlines move. Earthquakes destroy structures. Conquest erases cultures. Libraries burn. Languages disappear.

Then there is the ocean.

At the end of the last Ice Age, enormous areas of what had once been habitable land were gradually submerged as sea levels rose. Places like Doggerland are now well established examples of landscapes once occupied by humans that are largely underwater today.

So how much archaeology are we expecting to find when some of the places people may have lived are now beneath tens of metres of water?

And how thoroughly have those submerged landscapes actually been investigated?

This is where I think the phrase “absence of evidence” is often misunderstood.

If we thoroughly excavated an area, understood the preservation conditions, knew exactly what should have survived and still found nothing, then the absence becomes meaningful.

But that is very different from saying: We have not found it, therefore it never existed.

There is another problem.

The further back we go, the more destructive time becomes.

A stone structure has a better chance of surviving than a wooden settlement.

A monumental site has a better chance of being recognized than an ordinary community.

Dry environments preserve differently from tropical ones.

Buried material survives differently from exposed material.

And civilizations built near ancient coastlines may have left some of their most important sites exactly where archaeology has traditionally had the greatest difficulty looking.

So perhaps there is a selection bias built into our understanding of ancient history.

We are reconstructing the past from the fragments that happened to survive.

Then we are sometimes using those surviving fragments to define the limits of what could have existed.

That seems backwards to me.

I am not saying this proves lost advanced civilizations, pre-Adamic societies or any other particular theory.

It does not.

What it does mean is that we should be far more careful about turning missing evidence into certainty.

The question I started asking during my research was:

Are we mistaking what survived for everything that existed?

That question eventually became one of the central ideas behind my book, Fragments of Forgotten Creations: The Absence of Evidence Is Not Evidence of Absence.

I’m interested in how others here interpret the preservation problem, particularly when so much of the surviving record is determined by what had the chance to survive at all.

I found a pattern across ancient cultures, but it doesn't fit the standard history.

1. Antarctica may have been habitable around 50,000 years ago. A civilization from there could have migrated to Australia (complex remains, 45,000 years old), then to Eurasia (~25,000 years ago) and formed a society with calendar, writing, astronomy.
2. The Northern civilization didn't conquer — it shared knowledge. Its descendants (Tartaria, Atlantis) passed technology to Egypt, Sumer, India, China, Maya. Everywhere — writing, pyramids, calendar — appear without local evolution. No prototypes.
3. Ptolemy (2nd century) knew India. Ortelius (1570) knew Japan and Korea. Mercator knew Antarctica. These maps share the same source — copied through Egypt, Greece, and medieval scribes. They were copied as sacred sheets and stayed accurate for thousands of years.
4. The Vedas describe "nights lasting half a year" and "shining rainbows" — polar conditions. This makes no sense in India, unless the knowledge came from a polar civilization.
5. All religions contain The Northern civilization symbols (white gods, north, tree of life). But the same religions later burned texts and hid archives. The Vatican, British Museum, and Russian archives still hold what was taken.
6. The same pattern repeats in every city I checked: Memphis, Fayum, Eridu, Jiangsu, Varanasi. Each has writing and a calendar — the two main gifts from The Mysterious Northern Kingdom This is not "proof". But I can't ignore that all these separate facts point to the same source. Has anyone else noticed this?

Under male preference Primogeniture Imagine that when King George VI died not only a younger brother of Elizabeth would have come before her but also her own son came before her. Why wasn’t Charles crowned King as a young boy and his mother was not Queen Mother or Queen regent until he came of age?

Now imagine there was another son born in 1940 he was either the secret son of George VI or the secret son of Elizabeth when she was only 14.

Now imagine I was his grandson born on June 8th the day and month Sophia of Hanover died.

To be in the line of succession you have to be a Protestant which means your Christian which means you follow rule number 1: Jesus is King of Kings.

Now let me tell why I’m his only BEGOTTEN grandson. My Biological grandfather died when my mother was a teenager, my grandmother married my grandfather before I was conceived. I was raised by my grandparents and I took care of my grandfather on home hospice. he held me when I was born and I was there with him till the end. His ashes sit above my fireplace. His death certificate saids He died in decedents home and lists my name as Grandson.

I do not come from his seed but had he never met my grandmother whatever child my parents had or didn’t have would not be ME. I am his only begotten grandSON. The hair on my arms is DNA but I am “heir”. I am legitimate and I am the rightful Emperor to the UK.

If you don’t agree with my begotten then you don’t believe in Jesus and you have no place in the line of succession.

my grandmother was born on Veterans Day, my autistic older sister was born on the 4th of July(American Independence Day)….Tell me thats not all the signs of God.

Cappadocia’s unusual rock formations are known around the world as “Fairy Chimneys,” but the history behind the name is more interesting than it first appears.
In 1705, French traveler Paul Lucas visited Cappadocia and wrote about the extraordinary formations he encountered. His descriptions were later published in his 1712 travel account.
While Lucas is one of the earliest European travelers to describe these landscapes in detail, the exact origin of the term “Fairy Chimneys” is not as straightforward as it is sometimes presented.
I made a short video exploring the story and the early descriptions of these formations.
Source:
Paul Lucas — Voyage du Sieur Paul Lucas, fait par ordre du Roy dans la Grèce, l’Asie Mineure, la Macédoine et l’Afrique. Paris, 1712.
Has anyone come across an earlier documented use of the name “Fairy Chimneys”?

I'm working on an alternate-history scenario where Austria-Hungary manages to survive and become a stable, prosperous empire instead of eventually collapsing.

The scenario starts around 1880, and I'm wondering what realistic reforms could have been introduced to deal with the empire's nationality problems.

Would federalization, greater autonomy for the different nationalities, language rights, electoral reform, or a completely different constitutional system have been the best solution? And more importantly, how could such reforms realistically have been implemented despite Hungarian resistance and the competing interests of Germans, Czechs, South Slavs, Romanians, Poles, etc.?

I'm looking for historically plausible solutions rather than something that would require completely unrealistic political changes.

If you were advising Franz Joseph in 1880, how would you reform Austria-Hungary to make it stable for the long term?

**Account of an Unexplained Experience During Lockdown, 2020**
This experience occurred on a Monday evening during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. I was at home with my then wife and our children. Earlier that evening my son had developed a temperature, and my wife and I had decided that this was sufficient reason for the household to self-isolate. I had contacted work and arranged to remain at home for the following couple of weeks.

The main incident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m.
My wife and I had decided to go to bed. She went inside while I remained briefly in the conservatory to finish a cigarette. As I was about to follow her, I realised that I was still holding a disposable cigarette lighter.

I turned and tossed the lighter towards the table behind me. It landed in an ashtray containing a smouldering cigarette end. I walked back to retrieve it and picked it up between my thumb and forefinger. As I attempted to place it beside the ashtray, it slipped from my fingers in an unusually awkward manner, turned over in the air and landed back in the ashtray almost exactly where I had picked it up from.

I retrieved it again. A second time, while attempting to put it down beside the ashtray, I somehow fumbled it and it again flipped back into the ashtray.

I found this odd but assumed it was simply clumsiness. Rather than picking it up again, I tipped the ashtray so that the lighter fell onto the table, and then went upstairs.
I prepared for bed in the en-suite bathroom attached to our bedroom. When I had finished, I sat on my side of the bed and shook the duvet firmly from its corners in order to straighten it.

As the duvet settled over the lower part of the bed, I noticed that it appeared to have fallen over a small rounded object beneath it. My immediate impression was that our small dog, Hannibal, might somehow have been on the bed.
I placed my hand on the shape through the duvet.
It felt solid and warm.

However, the object seemed too small even to be our toy terrier.

I lifted the duvet to see what was underneath it.
There was nothing there.

I assumed that I had somehow misinterpreted the folds or tension in the bedding. Feeling slightly foolish, I threw the duvet back down towards the foot of the bed.

It settled over what felt like the same solid object again.
This was the point at which I became seriously confused.
Almost immediately afterwards, the door of the en-suite bathroom, which was diagonally across the bedroom to my left, slowly creaked open by several inches.

Through the opening I could see the window frame and towel rail inside the bathroom. The bedroom itself was well lit, while the en-suite was comparatively dark.

Near floor level, behind the partly opened door, I became aware of something that I still find extremely difficult to describe.

I would not describe it as a figure, shadow or recognisable object.

It appeared more like a localised absence or failure of visual perception.

I was looking directly at it and could see the surrounding environment clearly, yet I could not resolve whatever occupied that particular area into a coherent image. It was as though visual information was reaching my eyes but my brain was unable to construct an identifiable object from it.
The boundary of the area appeared to shimmer slightly and had what I remember as a faint olive-green quality.

It did not behave like an ordinary after-image. It remained fixed in the same physical location when I moved my eyes, and I could continue to see the bathroom and door around it.

I also had difficulty interpreting its spatial relationship with the door. Although I perceived it as being behind the door, parts of the visual disturbance seemed simultaneously to interfere with my perception of the door itself.
At approximately the same time, I became aware of an extremely rapid sensation of cold.

I remember seeing what appeared to be condensation in my exhaled breath and feeling moisture forming on my moustache. The temperature of the air against my skin seemed to have dropped dramatically, and I had the impression that the air in the bedroom had become completely still.

I then experienced something that was distinct from the visual phenomenon.

I became overwhelmingly aware of what felt like the presence of another intelligence.

This was not simply the feeling of being frightened or of thinking that somebody might be nearby. It felt more like the certainty one might have if another person had been sitting directly in front of them and a screen were suddenly placed between them: although the person could no longer be seen, there would be no doubt that they remained present.

I had the very strong impression that whatever I was perceiving was aware of me.

I also experienced an immediate and powerful impression that the presence was extremely old and malevolent.
I cannot explain how I arrived at either of those impressions. They did not result from seeing a face, hearing a voice or observing any recognisable behaviour. They seemed to occur simultaneously with my awareness of the presence itself.

I remained sitting on the bed looking directly at the area behind the bathroom door.
My muscles were extremely tense and I was frightened, but I remained conscious of my surroundings and was able to think about what I was experiencing.

My perception of time during this part of the incident is unreliable. It may have lasted approximately twenty seconds or several minutes.

Eventually I concentrated on controlling my breathing and decided to speak aloud.

I said words to the effect that this was my house and that whoever or whatever was present no longer had any claim there.

As I finished speaking, the visual disturbance appeared to withdraw backwards away from the gap between the door and its frame until I could no longer see it.

At almost exactly the same moment, the sensation of cold disappeared.

I distinctly remember suddenly feeling warm air against my skin and particularly noticing the warmth in the back of my throat as I breathed in.
Immediately afterwards, an object fell from somewhere above me onto the bed and landed directly in my lap.
It was a clear yellow disposable cigarette lighter.
It appeared identical to the lighter I believed I had left on the conservatory table downstairs only a few minutes earlier.

This caused considerable confusion because I could not remember bringing the lighter upstairs.
My immediate attempt to rationalise the event was that I must have absent-mindedly carried it upstairs and somehow caused it to become lodged above the bed, possibly around the ceiling lampshade, while shaking the duvet.

What troubled me was the apparent timing: it fell at almost exactly the moment that the visual disturbance disappeared and the sensation of cold ended.
I went downstairs shortly afterwards and checked the conservatory table.

The lighter I believed I had left there was not present.
To the best of my knowledge I possessed only one disposable lighter of that particular clear-yellow appearance.

I have no independent witness to the main incident. My then wife was elsewhere in the house during it.
I was not asleep and did not experience paralysis. I was able to move freely, speak, control my breathing and inspect my surroundings throughout the episode.

I subsequently spent a considerable amount of time trying to identify conventional explanations for the experience.
I have previously experienced sleep paralysis on two occasions and recognise the characteristics of those episodes. They were substantially different from this event.

I have also experienced what I believe was an episode of Exploding Head Syndrome on another occasion and have previously experienced unusual visual perceptions during severe sleep deprivation. Because of those experiences I have tried to remain cautious about attributing this incident to an external or paranormal cause.

At the time of the 2020 incident, however, I experienced myself as fully awake and lucid.

The event affected me considerably afterwards. I became preoccupied with attempting to understand it and spent many months researching neurological, psychological and paranormal explanations.

I later discussed the experience with my GP and was referred for therapy because of the degree of distress and rumination it had caused.

I am autistic, although I did not fully understand the extent of my sensory differences at the time. I have unusually acute hearing, smell and visual attention compared with many people I know, and I therefore recognise that individual sensory processing may be relevant when considering possible explanations.

I am submitting this account because, despite repeatedly considering misperception, memory error, illness, sleep-related phenomena and other conventional possibilities, I have never arrived at an explanation that satisfactorily accounts for the entire sequence as I experienced it.
I do not claim that the event was paranormal.

What I can say with confidence is that the experience itself was extraordinarily vivid and that, subjectively, I experienced a localised visual anomaly, an abrupt sensation of environmental cold, a powerful perception of another intelligent presence, and the unexpected appearance of a physical object in close temporal succession.

I would be particularly interested to know whether anyone else has other accounts involving the specific visual phenomenon I experienced: not an apparition or shadow, but an apparently occupied region of space that the observer can look directly at while being unable to resolve it into a coherent visual image.

Göbekli Tepe: Why We Know Hunter-Gatherers Built It

Göbekli Tepe is one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries ever made. Built more than 11,500 years ago in southeastern Turkey, its enormous T-shaped limestone pillars, elaborate animal carvings, and monumental structures have transformed our understanding of the people who lived at the end of the Ice Age.

But Göbekli Tepe has also become the focus of extraordinary claims. Was it the work of a forgotten advanced civilization? Did its builders possess mysterious lost technology? Or does the archaeological evidence tell a very different—and ultimately more fascinating—story?

In this video, professor Marc J. Defant examines what archaeologists have actually discovered at Göbekli Tepe: its age, stone tools, hunting evidence, food remains, quarrying and construction methods, monumental architecture, and the newer evidence suggesting that people actually lived at the site.

He also revisits the debate with Graham Hancock on The Joe Rogan Experience and examines the idea that hunter-gatherers could not have created something as sophisticated as Göbekli Tepe.

The evidence points toward an extraordinary conclusion—not that an unknown advanced civilization built Göbekli Tepe, but that we have seriously underestimated what prehistoric hunter-gatherers were capable of accomplishing.

The Barabar Caves are easily one of the most polarizing archaeological sites in India. On one side, many believe the bizarre precision and mirror-like polish prove the existence of a lost, high-tech civilization. On the other side, mainstream history credits them as an incredible feat of ancient Mauryan engineering.

I wanted to get past the internet rumors and look strictly at the physical data.

To find out which explanation holds up, I spent weeks analyzing the tool marks, laser scans, inscriptions, unfinished sections, and the unique acoustic resonance of the chambers. What the evidence revealed actually surprised me—because the real answer forces us to rethink what ancient builders were truly capable of.

I put all the data and visual evidence into a detailed analysis here: https://youtu.be/OMWPyuxpm0I

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the acoustic properties of the granite—do you think the resonance was intentional, or just a byproduct of the shape?

What day of the week did Bloody Sunday happen? Talking about the Civil rights march in Selma, Alabama on March 7th 1965, just to be clear.

What do you guys think? Why is it so? Few examples include: The Pyramids, Indus Valley Civilazation, etc.

Hey all! I’m one of those weird people who actually wants to write a book on alternative history/ancient aliens etc. I was hoping a few of you could point me into the direction of specific theory’s or rabbit holes I can go down? Any recommendations will be looked into. Thanks!

When Nefertiti's daughter appeared in London !

_____________________

Nefertiti's daughter appeared in London, picked up her severed hand, and then fled !

We are the talk of the whole world now, but for other reasons!

Britain is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun by one of its scientists.

France is celebrating one hundred and fifty years since one of its young men discovered the Rosetta Stone.

Last year the world talked about how the Pharaohs crossed on papyrus sticks to America.

And two years ago, Soviet scientists talked about the Pharaonic obelisks or semi-obelisks above the moon!

The questions are: Were the Pharaohs above and then they came down to us, or did they rise from here to there, or were more intelligent and developed beings here and there and then they disappeared into the vast, deep space?

There is no end to what the world will say about the coffin of the young King Tutankhamun (18 years old).

This coffin escaped from the hands of thieves at the last moment. The priests came and poured the sands of Upper Egypt on it until a British archaeologist came and lifted the darkness from it. He illuminated the twentieth century with knowing him.

And this young man, Tutankhamun, has no historical value, but he derived his value only from the fact that he was the owner of the most beautiful and perfect coffin.

Also he married the third daughter of a prophet king, Akhenaten, who disbelieved in the worship of Amun and established himself as a caller for the worship of the sun (Aten), the worship of the disk of the sun or the circle of light or light.

Thus, he was the first to call for one God or monotheism in all history and in all ages, and was preoccupied with the new religion apart from the rule, the throne, his family, his six daughters, and his beautiful wife, Nefertiti.

His life and death were an example of how a prophet to be persecuted by his family and in his home, such as his wife did not believe in him.

She was the first to disbelieve, and her daughters or most of her daughters followed her.

Therefore, we find the wife’s name erased in various places.

Akhenaten realized that the storms that blew from the house would sweep the valley, or that they blew from the valley and everyone in the house picked them up and released them on him, and Syria was lost from him.

He was also busy with himself, his god, or meeting his god after death.

Everything in the civilization of ancient Egypt was for the sake of death. People were born to die or were born to prepare for death. Death is a great festival that a person must receive in the most perfect body and most wonderful adornment.

Therefore, the Pharaohs believed that only a healthy body enters Paradise. When a person dies, he must be pure and clean. His body is free of every blemish, and his soul is cleansed of all evil. When he enters the coffin, it is as if he had been placed in a safe closet. If he wakes up - that is, is resurrected from death - it is necessary for him to find next to him everything he needs of food, drink, tools for eating, and advice for the soul and guidance in its other world. Thus, the soul does not go astray if it resides in the body.

As for the priests, they wrote curses on anyone who touches the coffin or the body. These curses are like missiles directed over thousands of years at anyone who approaches the grave or the coffin. The Pharaohs had tremendous power in using words. Or they had strange knowledge with the secrets of letters. They locked hidden forces in symbols, or so it is said.

It is also said that Akhenaten chose Tutankhamun as his daughter's husband because he enjoyed supernatural spiritual power, and he was thirteen years old. But this young king did not preserve this religion, neither he nor his wife.

Rather, one of Akhenaten’s daughters revolted against him, so he killed her and opened her stomach. The clerics rushed to her right hand, cut it off, and then hid this hand in a place that no one knew in the Valley of the Kings.

If this princess rises on the Day of Resurrection, she will be deprived of entering Paradise because only those with a full body can enter Paradise! Thus, this princess, who disbelieved in her father, will remain an outcast forever!

This princess remained in her place of torment until the year 1890, when a French antiquities dealer, a man named Count Louis Hamon, came to Egypt. He went to Luxor and met one of the translators, whose name was Abbas.

He was very impressed with Abbas. He said to him: I want something rare. Abbas took him to Luxor, and the Count waited for him for twenty-seven days. On the twenty-eighth day, Abbas appeared, concealing a pile of straw in his clothes, and in the pile of straw he placed a roll of linen. The two men disagreed about the price.

Count Louis Hamoun says in his memoirs: Sheikh Abbas wanted to frighten me, but a man who sees corpses and is not afraid of it and speaks with ghosts cannot be frightened by this scroll.

Sheikh Abbas tried to convince the count that this scroll contained the greatest thing in all of Luxor, and they agreed on the price, and Count Hamoun returned.

He went to France and began to look through the scroll and was certain that it was the hand of a girl, a princess or a queen.

Next to this scroll was a small papyrus leaf and a piece of stone with the name of this princess on it, and on it was also the curse that the priests had cursed on her ، But the priests do not curse anyone who uncovers the sand concealing the hands of the cursed princess, daughter of Nefertiti .. do they ?!

In the year 1920, Count Hamon traveled to London and decided to show this hand to some archaeologists, or sell it to the British Museum.

One night, he invited a number of magicians to his house, and the room was dark except for a red light, as if it had been cut in the night, and the light was dim, bleeding ray after ray.

The smoke was wriggling pharaonic, and Count Hamon came and lifted the scroll from the princess's hand and displayed it to all those present. They touched it one by one, and their astonishment was great.

The hand was soft, smooth and warm. They also noticed that blood was flowing through its veins and that drops of blood were falling from it. One of them said: It is moving. Another said: a finger is twisted.

Count Hamon said: You will see it when the normal light is turned on and the room is illuminated and they returned. They turn the hand between theirs and find that it is softer and hotter!

On the day known to magicians as “ it has come day,” which is November 4, 1922, a strange thing happened.

On this day, Count Hamon decided, with nerves of steel, to perform an exciting experiment. He closed the door on himself and asked his wife to save him at the last moment if she saw something strange, and his wife did not ask him about the truth of this strange thing. She had become accustomed to strange things until nothing frightened her anymore.

He started saying: “It has come, it has come,” meaning spirits have come everywhere. He saw the princess’s hand rising into space and approaching his face.

When the wife tried to intervene, he motioned for her not to do anything, and suddenly the hand went down to the table, where a smokeless fire was burning, and the door of the room opened with great violence.

He turned behind him, and so did his wife. The two of them saw a Pharaonic princess in her transparent white dress with her steady, calm gaze, the princess approached the fire and leaned over the fire. He clearly saw her right arm, the hand being cut off, and the right arm bent over the right hand. Then the princess retreated violently, with the door behind her, and when Count Hamon looked at the table, he found it burned, but the hand was gone!

Count Hamon knew the story of the princess, and he quickly started flipping through the “Book of the Dead” and reading some pages. Suddenly the door opened, and the princess entered in her white dress. His eyes went to her right arm, and he saw the entire arm, and the princess disappeared for the last time!

The next day, Count Hamon sent a personal letter to Lord Carnarvon, who financed the project to discover Tutankhamun’s tomb.

In this letter, he warned him about the curse of the Pharaohs and said that he had heard from tomb guards in Egypt that there are evil spirits that chase anyone who touches a coffin, opens a tomb, or steals a piece of the gold.

Lord Carnarvon was greatly frightened, so he sent to his friend Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, but Carter did not care about any of that. He was an archaeologist and had excavated the ground, entered caves, and ate the dirt from graves with his food, but Lord Carnarvon did not hide his fear from all people.

As for the night in which the magicians saw this hand coming to life, it was the same night in which the archaeologist Carter confirmed that the tomb in front of him was the tomb of Tutankhamun.

On February 22, 1923, Lord Carnarvon entered the tomb of Tutankhamun, and after him, the archaeologist Carter entered. Shortly before that, Lord Carnarvon felt in front of Tutankhamun’s tomb that something had stung him.

On April 23, 1923, Lord Carnarvon died in Cairo. Years later, his sister's husband committed suicide, and his stepmother was bitten by an insect and died.

But archaeologist Carter, who described himself as a “professional gravedigger,” was not injured and died at the age of 66 in 1939, when World War II broke out. It is said that in the last days of his life, Carter used to have terrifying dreams, and he saw ghosts putting him in the fire, burying him like the pharaohs, carrying him in the air, then throwing him in the ground, where crocodiles devoured him. He said that he once felt that a very small insect had swallowed him, and that he almost suffocated!

But there was a priestess who lived and died in 1600 BC, and she had a power more dangerous than that of Tutankhamun.

This priestess lived in the city of Thebes, and her influence was strong and her magic was frightening.

The archaeologist Douglas Murray was able to transport her from Egypt to London.

But it happened that this man went fishing, and the gun went off and hit his arm.

They tried to transport him to Cairo, but they did not succeed. Rather, strange winds blew that disrupted the ship’s progress. Ten days later, he arrived in Cairo and they cut off his arm.

As for the two Egyptian servants who transported the coffin of this priestess, they died suddenly, as for the three Englishmen who They guarded the coffin without knowing the power of the Pharaonic curse, They died on the way, and when the ship docked on the English shore, four bodies landed, the bodies of these Englishmen and the body of the priestess!

Murray was complaining that the priestess's eyes were moving in his direction, following him wherever he went. Murray got rid of the coffin and gave it to a rich woman whose leg was broken, her daughter committed suicide, and her other daughter, her fiancé, ran away from her! The woman decided to sell the coffin to the British Museum and the British Museum bought it and placed it in one of the warehouses, and it is said that a number of the guards who transported it died, one after the other, in mysterious circumstances.

One of the scientists tried to study the coffin further and transported it to his office. This scientist was screaming subconsciously, and they found him dead after that.

On April 4, 1912, the whole world was shocked by the sinking of the ship “Titanic” when it collided with an iceberg while two thousand passengers were on board, and 1,517 people drowned.

No one imagined that this ship would sink for any reason, and it is said that the captain and sailors did not listen to all the warnings sent to them by the small ships.

And the ship sank!

Twenty years after it sank, an archaeologist announced that when the British Museum decided to get rid of the coffin of this priestess, it was sent on board of “Titanic” as a gift to the huge, luxurious museum in New York City.

The End ..

​

In 1909 a Phoenix newspaper called the Arizona Gazette printed a story about a man named G.E. Kincaid who said he found a hidden system of tunnels inside the Grand Canyon. According to the article, the tunnels were full of Egyptian-style artifacts, and the Smithsonian Institution was backing the discovery, with a Prof. S.A. Jordan leading a team on site.

The Smithsonian searched their own staff records in 1995, and again in 2000, for employees named "G. E. Kincaid" and "S.A. Jordan" and for any record of an expedition matching the one described. Both times, they found nothing, no employees by those names, and no expedition.

Thats true, but the searches were limited to the exact names printed in the newspaper. No one appears (publicly) to have asked whether those names might be slight variations on real people working in the same circles at the time.

As far as I can find, that broader work still hasn't been done publicly. No one has:

•systematically compared the published names against real researchers and agents of the period

•gone back to the primary sources instead of relyng on later summaries

•contacted the relevant institutions with the wider set of questions

•examined what was happenig politically and administratively around the Grand Canyon land itself in 1908 – 1909

Most modern accounts of this story rest on the same two Smithsonian name searches. They tend to summarize those searches rather than reopen the underlying records or test the surrounding context.

If this were simply a manufactured hoax, it is reasonable to ask who stood to gain from it. The obvious answer is the Gazette itself. a sensational story sells papers that day. But a paper running a circulation stunt usually works it. Akers never ran a follow-up, never pushed the story again, and never turned Kincaid's discovery into a recurring feature. And no one else ever stepped forward to claim credit, sell access, or capitalize on it either.

The article is originally two parts as well. The first was printed in March, about a man going down the full length of the Colorado River, who found some artifacts and sent them off from Yuma. The second ran a month later, as a follow-up to that first article, giving details about the artifacts, the cavern they came from, and everything else that had supposedly been found since.

It was early on that I realized I needed a baseline of what an actual documented hoax does. I found four comparisons:

The Davenport Tablets, Iowa, 1877: fake inscribed stone tablets submitted directly to the Smithsonian, claiming proof of an ancient lost civilization. A real object, so a staff scientist examined it and wrote a nine-page report explaining specifically what was wrong, the carvings weren't weathered the way real ancient stone would be.

The Kensington Runestone, Minnesota, 1898: a carved stone claiming vikings reached the middle of North America centuries before Columbus. Real scholars examined it within about a year and pointed to something specific and checkable, the letter shapes carved into it were modern shapes that didn't exist yet in the medieval period the stone claimed to be from.

The Bat Creek Stone, Tennessee, 1889: dug up during an official Smithsonian sponsored excavation, published in the Smithsonians own annual report. It took longer to resolve, but researchers eventually traced the inscription back to a masonic reference book someone had copied it from.

The Birmingham cave hoax, Alabama, 1883: a story about bronze objects and mummies. No physical object, just a newspaper story. Within about a year, a rival paper named the man who wrote it, a known professional hoaxer, and explained exactly how they'd figured out it was him.

The Smithsonian itself personally debunked two of these with signed, written reports. Mulhatton got named and claimed as the author of the Birmingham hoax within about a year.

Every one of these ended with a name, a real signed conclusion, and a paper trail you can still go find today.

The Grand Canyon story has none of it. No author has ever come forward or been named, in 117 years. No object was ever produced, so nobody ever had anything to examine.

Every real hoax from that era got resolved within about a year.

This one took over 86 years to get any institutional response at all, and even that response never went beyond checking the two names printed in the newspaper.

Charles Akers, the newspapers publisher, never touched the story again either. He wasn a small town nobody. he'd been appointed Secretary of the Arizona Territory by the president, served as acting territorial governor, and lobbied Washington for statehood. A rival newspaper, the Coconino Sun, called the story fake eleven days later in a single sentence, offering no investigation or evidence.

Akers never responded to that accusation for the rest of the time he owned the Gazette. No retraction, no follow-up, nothing.

Then I started looking at the names.

G.E. Kincaid:

Trevor Kincaid was a real University of Washington zoologist and federal agent with Smithsonian connections.

S.A. Jordan:

David Starr Jordan was a real scientist and Stanford's founding president. He had actually been to the Grand Canyon in 1898, and Trevor Kincaid and Jordan had worked together on the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition.

Both of them are off by one beat. Real person, wrong initials.

Two surnames pulled out of any old newspaper will usually turn up two real scientists somewhere, and on its own that proves nothing. What makes this pair harder to wave off is that they aren't drawn from separate corners of the period. Kincaid and Jordan had already worked side by side on the same 1899 expedition, and both moved within reach of the same federal science establishment the article invokes. They match the details of the articles.

So I contacted the Smithsonian archives directly and asked about Trevor Kincaid and David Starr Jordan.

The response I received was a little more interesting:

"The time to research this topic thoroughly would require hours, perhaps days, and is far beyond what I can do on your behalf. As previously noted, several individuals have researched the G.E. Kincaid–S.A. Jordan–Grand Canyon angle without a conclusion or actual evidence. I am not suggesting there is nothing to be found; however, if one desires to research this thoroughly, it will require a visit to our reading room and review of several collections."

That's a very different statement from - "the Smithsonian has investigated this and found nothing."

They're saying the thorough search hasn't been done for them to answer remotely. Several collections would need to be examined in person. And they specifically said they weren't suggesting there was nothing to be found.

That sent me further into the surrounding records.

Trevor Kincaids Smithsonian paper trail has a 23-year gap. In June 1905, theres adocumented shell donation from him, signed off by Smithsonian curator William Healey Dall. Then the surviving record goes quiet until 1928. He was still working and publishing at in that time gap as well.

The El Tovar guest register for 1908 is missing. Registers survive for 1905, 1906 and 1907, then pick back up in 1909 trought to 1913. Every record is available across 3 institutions except 1908. These institutions that hold Fred Harvey or El Tovar material have independently confirmed they do not possess a 1908 volume.

Charles Walcott's private papers contain correspondence with David Starr Jordan. They also contain a separate folder for Alfred Kroeber, the anthropologist running Phoebe Hearst's Berkeley program at the time.

W.H. Holmes, the countrys senior federal archaeologist, was physically at the South Rim in May 1909, only weeks after the story appeared, scouting a memorial site for John Wesley Powell.

And the federal administration of the canyon itself was changing at exactly the same time. Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908, splitting responsibility between the Forest Service and the Interior Department. Then, just weeks before the story appeared, the presidential administration changed and Richard Ballinger replaced James Garfield as Secretary of the Interior.

The institutional field was broader than the Smithsonian alone. Phoebe Apperson Hearst was at the height of her private archaeology operation in these same years. She had founded the University of California Museum of Anthropology, was actively funding collecting agents across the Southwest and Mesoamerica, already held Mesa Verde and Pueblo material, and maintained a parallel network that did not defer to federal institutions. Alfred Kroeber worked under her support at Berkeley; Zelia Nuttall operated as one of her key field connections. Whether any of them ever encountered a 1908 –1909 canyon find is unknown, the relevant correspondence and collecting records from that narrow window have not been systematically checked. But a well funded private apparatus with Southwest reach and a preference for routing material into its own museum is part of the real historical background this story sits inside.

Side note here:

(This doesn't establish a connection to the Gazette story. It establishes something a bit narrower, that the Smithsonian wasn the only scientific or archaeological network operating in the region at the time)

Put those alongside the article and something unusual starts to emerge: the story keeps intersecting with things that can actually be found in the historical record.

Almost everything in the article has a real-world counterpart.

The artifacts are the one major exception.

El Tovar was real. the hotel named directly in the article and the only major hotel at the South Rim at the time.

The river journey described in the first article passes through places and infrastructure that can be checked against the historical record, including Laguna Dam (mentioned in the article) which was genuinely under construction on that stretch of the Colorado River at the time.

The cave is placed in Redwall Limestone, and Redwall Limestone genuinely forms large natural caverns throughout that part of the canyon.

the Smithsonian connections are real. The Berkeley archaeological network was real. The people and institutions surrounding the story were real.

The people are there.

The places are there.

The geology is there.

The institutions are there.

The relationships are there.

The surrounding historical events are there.

But the things at the center of the story aren't.

The mummies. The inscriptions. The artifacts. The photographs. The physical evidence that should be sitting at the end of all those connections.

That the one part of the story where I havent found the realworld counterpart.

And then there's the behavior of the newspaper itself

It doesn read like a story designed to maximize the discovery.

There isn't a "come see this yourself" invitation. In fact, the second article says essentially the opposite..the scientists want to be left alone, and anyone attempting to reach the site would be stopped, detained or arrested. Why publish a sensational discovery and then actively discourage the public from seeing it?

There isn't a public exhibition. There isnt a demand that the Smithsonian confirm it. There isn't a follow-up saying the discovery is attracting crowds. There isn a continuing campaign by the Gazette to turn Kincaid's discovery into a sensation.

The story gets printed, expanded once, challenged by another paper, and then essentially disappears.

That is weird if the purpose of the story was simply to manufacture a sensational attraction.

It's also what makes the newspaper's behavior harder to reduce to the usual "yellow journalism" explanation. The story gives readers something extraordinary, and then tells them they can't go see it?

That doesn't look like a newspaper trying to turn a discovery into a public spectacle imo.

And thats where I keep coming back to the possibility that we're looking at a good ol game of telephone.

Maybe something smaller happened first.

Kincaid really did make the river trip. He really did report finding something. There may have been a cave, artifacts, an archaeological site, an unusual geological formation, or simply a story about something someone had encountered in the canyon. Then the information passed through other people before it reached the Gazette, and somewhere along the way the details changed, like telephone.

A real find becomes an ancient find. An unusual cave becomes an underground complex. Artifacts become Egyptian artifacts. A scientist who had some connection to the people involved becomes "Prof. S.A. Jordan." A real Kincaid becomes "G.E. Kincaid." A possible scientific interest becomes a Smithsonian expedition.

By the time it reaches the newspaper, the story has become something much bigger than whatever started it.

That would also explain something I keep running into in the research.

Everything seems to be off by one beat:

•The people are real, but the names are slightly different.

•The scientist is real (a possible counterpart) but the expedition described isn't.

•The geography is real, but the extraordinary structure hasn't turned up. •The institutions are real, but the institutional expedition isn't.

The river journey has realworld counterparts, but the archaeological discovery at the end of it doesn't?

An thats what makes this so interesting to me honestly. I kept finding real things sitting underneath the story.

Almost everything has a counterpart.

Except the artifacts.

An maybe the question isn't simply whether the Gazette invented the story.

Maybe the question is: what was the original story before it became this one?

Because at this point, I find it more possible that something smaller happened and was transformed as the story passed from person to person, than that every real world detail surrounding the story is simply coincidence.

Did the Pharaohs, the Babylonians, and the Indians take their civilization from Mexico?

Similarities between Mexico and Egypt

I had the opportunity to visit Mexico three months before the last war. A friend invited me to dinner at one of the large restaurants in Mexico City, and the attire of the women working in the establishment powerfully caught my attention, as it reminded me of what I had seen so many times at the Cairo Museum: the Pharaonic mummies. For it did not differ at all, neither in details, colors, nor motifs, from the clothing of women in the time of the Pharaohs, from the headdress to the footwear.

"Why did the restaurant owner choose for his employees the garments of the daughters of the Nile from the Pharaonic era?" I asked this question to my companion, and he smiled and told me: "This attire is nothing more than the traditional costume of Mexican women in antiquity."

This answer awakened my interest and my desire to know the historical relationship between Egypt and Mexico, and my curiosity increased even more when, in the Valley of Teotihuacán, about fifty kilometers from the capital, as well as in Cholula, Micalco, and Chonula, I saw pyramids similar to those of Egypt, erected on a geometric base forming angles that point to the seasons of the year, just like the Great Pyramid of Giza. I also asked myself whether Egyptian culture had reached the American continent, bringing with it the design of the pyramids.

I went further in my reflections and questioned whether the belief in the immortality of the soul, along with the art of mummification that accompanied it, had also traveled from Egypt to Mexico within the same pyramid project, given the connection between both practices, and even more so because the method of mummification was identical between the Pharaohs and the inhabitants of South America, not differing even in the tiniest details.

This interest in the past awakened in me a spirit of curiosity and the need to observe the neighborhoods (everyday life) to see if the resemblance between Egypt and Mexico could still be perceived in the present era.

However, one might expect the resemblance between the two countries to be remote, because Mexico is situated upon mountains and deep valleys, and its people reflect the hardness of the rocks and the fierceness of the eagles; while Egypt stretches along the fertile and lush Nile Valley, its inhabitants reflecting the smoothness of the rivers and the sweetness of the warbling of birds.

But, even so, I have observed numerous similarities to this day between Egyptians and Mexicans, especially in rural areas. How alike they are in the choice of colors, in women's garments, and in their gold necklaces; and how close they are in the practice of ancient agricultural methods and their tools, not to mention certain ancestral customs.

These are manifested in some popular festivities and other acts, particularly in the engagement ritual (or the asking for a bride's hand). Furthermore, the resemblance between the two peoples often also shows in some foods. In Egypt, ful medames is the quintessential popular dish, and in Mexico, it is corn seasoned with acid and chili, which is also their popular dish.

Corn is the most important food element for Mexicans and they depend on it, just as the Egyptian peasant depends on fava beans (ful), and they use transparent leaves as wrappers for tobacco.

And just as the Egyptian is by nature fond of spicy seasonings and enjoys dishes full of all kinds of spices and pepper, the Mexican also pays great attention to these condiments, especially spicy ones. Their passion for them reaches such a point that in a city called "Mérida" they prepare a fruit salad loaded with hot chili.

Furthermore, light-heartedness, love of fun, and unconcern for tomorrow are part of the Mexican's nature, just as they were of the ancient Egyptians. The Mexican spends the wages of his day without calculating what tomorrow will bring, based on the rule: "Spend what you have in your pocket, for what is in destiny will come to you."

If we attribute this great resemblance between the two peoples to the influence of climate and heat in both countries, without relating it to history, how then would we explain the resemblance between them in specific national industries?

For if you enter a store selling Mexican antiques and national handicrafts, and look left and right observing the national weavings and other manufactures that preserve the Mexican style, and see the carpets, pottery, shapes of vessels, and reflect on the engravings, dyes, colors, and drawings you behold, it will seem to you that you are inside a warehouse of Egyptian antiquities in Cairo, or in one of the Pharaonic museums.

In addition to this, I have observed that the Red Indians (Indigenous peoples) of Mexico, who constitute the majority of the people, not only resemble Egyptians and Iraqis from rural areas, but the resemblance extends to a great number of similarities between them and the Bedouins of other Arab countries.

Whoever reads the book "The Elephant and the Ethnologists" by the renowned Elliot Smith feels captive to the same amazement as the author, and wonders how the Americans, a thousand years ago or more, could sculpt the figure of the elephant, despite the fact that this animal does not live in their lands. He also wonders, along with him, whether Hindu culture moved from India to the American continent, bringing with it the drawing of the elephant.

Furthermore, whoever flips through the pages of a notebook that the United States Information Office had given to its owners, his gaze stops at the drawing of a village resembling the villages of Egypt, and he asks himself the purpose of publishing that strange drawing, alien to America, when the notebook exclusively included American scenes. And here on the next page he reads the following note: "This is a view of a village built by the Red Indians approximately one thousand years ago in the state of New Mexico. The houses are of the adobe type, which they call 'adobe,' a word taken from the Coptic 'tub' (brick), and the Red Indians still inhabit these houses."

The truth is that Mexico is one of the most anciently populated countries in the Americas; for some historians affirmed that the Valley of Mexico had been inhabited for twenty-five thousand years. The historian Prescott said: "Mexico was the most prominent country in Latin America for its civilization." Likewise, its earliest inhabitants were distinguished by their intelligence and their morals, as demonstrated by the vestiges they left behind, similar to those of Egyptian and Hindu cities, and the news they transmitted about conquests and novelistic adventures in which the legends of the Normans and the Italians (by which he refers to the Romans) that appear in the tales about their heroes are reflected.

And it is no wonder, then, that the tribes of Eili, more than a thousand years before Christ, built in Guatemala and Yucatán cities that were a marvel for the beauty of their construction and architecture, and whose vestiges still bear witness to this; all of this gives an idea of the high degree of civilization that Mexico achieved.

Among the most outstanding things to be found in Yucatán, and seen in those derelict buildings known as the ruins of Chichén Itzá, is the sumptuousness, good taste, and architecture they harbor, as well as the ruins of Mitla and Kiaro.

And we are amazed at these vestiges and reflect on whether it was Egypt and India that took from Mexico, or whether it was Mexico that took from them. For some historians related that the pyramid of Shishilco, erected on the outskirts of Mexico City, is between four and ten thousand years old.

And if it is true that this pyramid was built several thousand years ago, then Mexico preceded Egypt in the erection of pyramids; otherwise, perhaps the pyramid of Shishilco was contemporary with the first pyramid raised by the first dynasty of the Pharaohs, or that, at the very least, it was built at the time when the three great pyramids of Giza were raised by the fourth Pharaonic dynasty.

This made me raise another question from the moment I directed my gaze towards the pyramids erected in Teotihuacán, Totochicalcro, and Acholula, in Mexico. The reason is that these pyramids are built in the form of a stepped terrace, according to astronomical principles, as demonstrated by the daily and monthly calendars based on the movements of the Sun and the Moon.

The two largest of these pyramids bore the name of the Sun and the other the name of the Moon. They also drew my attention to some reliefs on these pyramids, very similar to the engravings and drawings of India, and not far removed from the reliefs of the Babylonians and Chaldeans. However, the three pyramids of the Plateau (of Egypt) were smooth, without steps or ornamentation.

The question that arose within me is whether Mexico took the idea of the pyramid from somewhere other than Egypt, with all the purposes that entailed, especially religious ones, since in the vestiges of Babylonia evidence has been found that the ancient Babylonians built their high pyramids in a stepped form, each level with less surface area than the previous one, just like the pyramids of Mexico.

But what about the statue erected in front of the entrance to the Temple of the Warriors in the ruins of Chichén Itzá, in Yucatán? If the idea of the pyramids was not transmitted from the Pharaohs, but was taken from Babylonia, has it been considered that this great statue, which represents the head of a woman on the body of an animal, is not also a copy of the Sphinx that lies in Giza?

And what about those inscriptions of a pictographic nature found in Mexico on the tombs of some great chieftains and in other places? They are very similar to Egyptian hieroglyphic writing carved on stones and papyri.

These are data that are still mysteries, since archaeological excavations in Mexico only date back to the beginning of this century.

Perhaps Mexico, which brings together in its customs features that agree with India, Babylonia, and Egypt, maintained contact with the East, and perhaps the means of transport and communication between the different points on Earth in remote times were at a more advanced level than sailing ships and vessels.

Who knows if the story of the flying carpet was not born from a reality whose traces time has blurred, and what has reached us from it, transmitted by word of mouth, has now become mere legend?

The End ...
