HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE MUSEUM OF MYSTERIES!

And now for some more mysteries…

From gold funeral masks, nearly identical religions, obelisks with hieroglyphics, and so much more, the astounding similarities of the Incan/pre-Incan and Ancient Egyptian cultures is not to be denied. How did two cultures separated in antiquity by a vast ocean co-evolve in so many inexplicable ways? The following article delves into a huge list of coincidences that will no doubt stun you while also convincing you that there simply had to be some sort of connection between these cultures. Was there a seafaring global mother culture such as Atlantis that informed the customs, architecture, and religions of both the Incans and the Egyptians?

The Mystery Of Twin Cultures On Opposite Sides Of The Atlantic

“The ancient Egyptians (in Africa) and the ancient pre-Incas/Incas (in South America) evolved on opposite sides of the globe and were never in contact; yet both cultures mysteriously possessed the same strikingly identical body of ancient art, architecture, symbolism, mythology and religion. The Victorian-era scholars, faced with this enigma, concluded that both cultures must have been children of the same Golden Age parent civilization, “Atlantis.” Today, Egyptian/Inca parallels are not only being ignored by American and Western scholars, they’re being suppressed.

Many baffling and unsolved similarities link the ancient Egyptians and the ancient pre-Incas/Incas – even though both cultures evolved on opposite sides of the planet, separated by oceans.

Victorian-era scholars, faced with this enigma, believed both cultures inherited the same high wisdom from the same exceedingly older source—a shared “parent civilization” now lost to history. For the Victorians this common parent hypothesis explained the parallels well. These Victorian scholars called this common parent “Atlantis,” following Plato and the Classical historians…”

As we prepare to enter the new year, let’s enjoy a fascinating list of ten of the most mysterious archaeological discoveries of 2013…

Ten unusual archaeological discoveries of 2013

During this time of year, many people are imagining and reveling in stories of Christ’s nativity. Many of the symbols in our modern day Christmas rituals are based on these stories. So, just imagine how Christians and Christmas celebrators would feel if the exact site of Christ’s birth with remnants of the manger itself had been found?

For Buddhists, this recent archaeological discovery is no doubt a deep one…

 The Earliest Archeology Of Buddha Found

(Science 2.0)

“Archaeologists working in Nepal have uncovered evidence of a structure at the birthplace of the Buddha dating to the sixth century B.C., the first archaeological material linking the life of the Buddha and the movement he founded to a specific century.

The Maya Devi Temple at Lumbini, Nepal, has long been considered the birthplace of the Buddha and now excavations have uncovered the remains of a previously unknown sixth-century B.C. timber structure under a series of brick temples. Laid out on the same design as those above it, the timber structure contains an open space in the center that links to the nativity story of the Buddha himself.

Previously, the earliest archaeological evidence of Buddhist structures at Lumbini dated no earlier than the third century B.C., the time of the patronage of the Emperor Asoka, who promoted the spread of Buddhism from present-day Afghanistan to Bangladesh…”
