The last Ice Age, which began nearly 125,000 years ago, had reached its maximum extent during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) around 20,000 years ago. At this time, large parts of the Northern Hemisphere were covered in kilometers thick ice caps, and the sea level was nearly 400 feet lower than it is today.[1] Large tracts of the continental shelves which are now submerged under water, used to be sea-front, real estate – perhaps supporting many thriving, maritime, Ice Age civilizations. Not only were the existing islands much larger back then, but many new islands were exposed in the seas, which were connected to each other and to the mainland by land bridges, forming vast antediluvian landmasses.

A theory that has been doing the rounds on the internet in recent times is that the "Eye of the Sahara", also known as the Richat Structure, in Mauritania, West Africa, is a possible location of Atlantis. Martin Ettington had written a small booklet on this in 2018, and the Bright Insight YouTube channel made a couple of videos in the same year, and another one in 2023. I found that both the book and the Youtube videos have quite a few errors, and decided to do my own research to see if the evidence adds up. 

I have listed out the similarities and mismatches, but, in the end, I believe that the correlations are quite persuasive, and the Richat Structure could be the potential remnants of Atlantis, if we are willing to acknowledge that the story of Atlantis, which had been handed down by means of oral tradition for more than 9000 years before it was written down by Plato, is bound to contain many modifications and embellishments. Read it, and decide for yourself. Until archaeological evidence is found, however, nothing can be concluded, one way or the other.

Hopi oral legends indicate that there were three Worlds prior to the current one, each of which ended in cataclysms. We are now living in the Fourth World which will meet the same fate as the previous ones if humanity does not live in accordance with the plan of creation. They also tell us of the mysterious Ant People who live in underground chambers, who gave shelter to a few righteous Hopi when the previous Worlds were destroyed. Who are these Ant People, and what does these legends mean for us?

The history of Sicily has always been entwined with those of giants. As per many Greek historians, including Homer, the earliest inhabitants of the island were one-eyed, cave-dwelling giants called the Cyclopes. They were not only regarded as expert blacksmiths, but were also credited with building many "Cyclopian Walls" using massive, polygonal stone blocks. Tommaso Fazello, the father of Sicilian history, wrote about giant 30-feet long human-like skeletons that were unearthed at many places in Sicily. Could the legend of the Cyclopes be based on facts?

Legends of the giants who roamed the world in the ancient times are found in almost every culture and depicted in art, particularly in a form that is widely known as the "Master of Animals" or "Mistress of Animals". What is perhaps not so well known is that a number of esteemed Greco-Roman historians such as Herodotus, Pliny, Philostratus, Pausanius and others reported on the discovery of many "giant skeletons" that were found within tombs and coffins. In addition, the discovery of giants bones in the modern era at Castelnau and Montpellier in France, provides compelling evidence that the ancient legends about giants may very well be based on facts.

Vimanas or flying crafts as well as aerial cities have been mentioned in many places in the ancient Indian texts. There is a colourful description of the Pushpaka vimana in the Ramayana, in which Rama returns to Ayodhya from Lanka. The Srimad Bhagavatam describes the Saubha vimana in which King Salva had attacked Dvaraka, the city of Krishna. The Mahabharata tells us of the celestial chariot of Indra, on which Arjuna traveled to Amaravati - the heavenly city of Indra.

In 2019, the Indian Army reported finding gigantic footprints measuring 32 inches * 15 inches at the Makalu base camp, high in the Himalayas, which they believed could be that of the elusive Yeti. Very similar tracks were  observed by Major Bill Tillman nearly 80 years ago, which had been at that time linked to the Yeti as well. Various other clues seem to indicate that the Yeti phenomenon may be linked to the monsters of the Indian epics called "rakshasas".

Not many would have heard of the archaeological site of Chandraketugarh in India, located roughly 35 km from Kolkata in Eastern India. Chandraketugarh used to be a prosperous, coastal city engaging in international trade, with continuous habitation from c.400 BCE - 1250 CE. All that remains at the site today are the remnants of a brick-built Buddhist temple from the 10th century CE.

Many ancient legends tell us that in the bygone ages, a group of Seven Sages of extraordinary wisdom and untold powers visited the earth from the stars. They traveled around the world and passed on the knowledge of all the sciences and the arts to the people. They advised the kings on their royal duties, instituted the proper codes of living, and established the correct modes of ritual in order to sustain the cosmic harmony, and ensure the happiness and prosperity of the people. It was said to be a time when our planet was closely integrated with our larger cosmic family; a very different era compared to the profane world we live in today.

The Hall of Records 

For a long time there have been speculations about a secret chamber located beneath the Great Sphinx at Giza. The idea had been popularized by Edgar Cayce, the 19th century American psychic, popularly known as the “Sleeping Prophet”. For nearly forty years, Cayce used to enter into a trance-like state and give profound information on various subjects. Many of his predictions about the future have come true, which is why his statements on the Sphinx have generated so much interest.

Recently, on Oct 1, 2018, the BBC ran a story[1] about the discovery of hundreds of petroglyphs i.e. rock carvings in the Ratnagiri and Rajapur area of the state of Maharashtra in western India. Many of these petroglyphs are very large, which have been etched on the rocky, flat hilltops.

Concealed within the desolate, rocky, landscape of the Makran coastline of Southern Balochistan, Pakistan, is an architectural gem that has gone unnoticed and unexplored for centuries. The Balochistan Sphinx, as it is popularly called, came into the public eye only after the Makran Coastal Highway opened in 2004, linking Karachi with the port town of Gwadar on the Makran coast. A four-hour long drive (240 kms) from Karachi, through meandering mountain passes and arid valleys, brings one to the Hingol National Park where the sphinx is located.

 The Crop Circle Mystery

Crop Circles are a modern enigma. These intricate and gigantic formations, appearing almost overnight, have confused and fascinated us for the past couple of decades. Although crop circles have been spotted in many countries, a bulk of them appear in Southern England during the summer months. 

Some of the crop circles are enormous – more than 1000 feet in diameter – while the average size of crop circles in the UK is around 200 feet. While most of these formations appear almost overnight, some of them have formed mysteriously in the space of a few minutes, in broad daylight, right next to a busy highway. The size and complexity of these formations, along with the suddenness with which they appear, effectively rule out any human involvement.
