The
resurfacing of a research project which took place spring
of 1982, shows NASA may be more interested in ancient
text than many of us thought. NASA seemed to show a keen
interest in the study of Chaco Canyon, Arenal Region,
Costa Rica, and The Petén, Guatemala. All three
locations show ancient civilizations rich with spiritual
orientation and what I believe to be sacred gathering
grounds. It is as if they were preparing for something
yet to unfold (or may have just done so, and will occur
again). Just what is this "something", which
is now the subject of hundreds of books. All seem to point
with direction to a seamless connection to the universe.
 (Excerpts
from NASA's report) The Petén, Guatemala was
once inhabited by a population of several million Maya
before their collapse in the 9th century A.D. What was
so important to attract millions to one location. See
Ian Lungolds theme of articles on Mayan life, tradition,
and the more famous Mayan Calendar on our Science &
Spirit page.
Arenal
Region, Costa Rica, devastated by ten volcanic eruptions
over the past 4000 years, were preserved to some extent
under layers of ash. NASA initiated two series of overflights
using a specially equipped Learjet for Remote Sensing,
flew about 1000 ft. high. This was one of the most extensive
remote sensing databases created for archeology to that
time.
Linear
features were detected in the color infrared photographs.
First thought to be roadways, they seemed to be several
feet wide at the surface, upon excavation, they turned
out to be footpaths, the oldest known footpaths. Using
excavation and dating techniques, it was determined that
there were two time periods for the footpaths. The earliest
dated to 500 BC (2500 years ago). The footpaths can be
seen as a window into the culture's religious, economic,
political and social organization. As people travel along
paths, for a variety of objectives including transportation,
communication, and ritual, they leave behind them the
record of their presence. This is an aspect of behavioral
archeology, the study of prehistoric features to understand
networks of human activity and their underlying reasons
for those activities.
 Chaco
Canyon, New Mexico... NASA again using their Remote Sensing
techniques, found prehistoric roads made in the year 900
or 1000 AD. The roads could not be discerned by the naked
eye from ground level. Three more flights over Chaco detected
over 200 miles of a prehistoric roadway system, as well
as prehistoric walls, buildings, and agricultural fields.
It may be that Chaco Canyon was a social and religious
center. People were coming exchanging ideas, practicing
ritualistic activities, and then returning to whence they
came.

It
is my contention to show there is no distinction between
ancient text and civilizations, and modern science. From
my point of view the only discerning disconnect, is time
himself. It is of my opinion that perhaps our journey
is to re-connect ourselves with our past. When we do,
we may just find ourselves, in the future. Which some
might say...is our present. Yes, this may sound a little
Zen, but it was meant to.
I
and others, even NASA, have agreed to come together in
a scared cyber space known as "The Round Table".
You are welcome to visit us as often as you wish. You
will find the highest of minds at this one of a kind gathering
place.
