NascoBLOG 7

Hello Everyone, Welcome to NascoBLOG7. I guess we can now settle down to the run into Autumn. Autumn, I hear you say - what already?
Yes, how the year has flown by and what great progress we at Nascodex have made in the last six to eight months, both in our current research programmes and publication of "Portraits of the Gods" supported by NascoBLOGS 1-6.
The sudden and almost unexpected link between "Portraits" and one of the World's last great mysteries, "The Long Lost Island of Atlantis", is certainly one of the great highlights of the year so far.
To find the 'Lost Lands of the Phoenician Canaanites' in Peru was a tremendously exciting achievement and a canny piece of detective work, but, to discover that we were actually sitting atop the 'Island of Atlantis' was, to say the least, unbelieveable!
In this next series of NascoBLOGS I am going to describe some of my past research which overlaps and supports much of the work that eventually led to uncovering not just a Phoenician, but a multi-cultural society living permanently in Peru 3000 years ago.
Obviously, with the space limitations of a Blog I cannot write complete chapter and verse on each individual 'discovery' so I will keep the text short and sweet and add some illustrations and photographs. Plus, you will get up to date News Items as they happen.
Phoenician Inscription on the Nasca Lines
The first positive evidence found that a footfall from an Old World Civilisation had stepped into the New World was my discovery of a massive 300 metre long Inscription 'written' in 3rd - 4th century B.C. PHOENICIAN; this to much excitement, was actually translated by a specialist Epigrapher, Dr Clyde Winters, who still posts the inscription on his web-site to this very day.
Here is the highlighted version of the actual inscription discovered in August 2002 and the subsequent translation. For a full explanation you can either look-up the article in "Portraits of the Gods", or log on click here .
As this dateable artifact is set neatly on a trapezoid within the Nasca Lines, it is one of the major clues we have giving a positive date for the construction of the Nasca Lines. Although, admittedly, the 'message' could have been placed along a vacant trapezoid sometime between 400 - 300 B.C. with the trapezoid itself being elaborated much earlier, say, 6th - 5th century B.C. At least, that is preferable to the 10,000 B.C. date extolled by some cranks who call themselves historians!
Still on the same subject, what do you think of the magnificent image of the ‘Architect of the Nasca Lines' depicted in "Portraits of the Gods"? This is the very first realistic 'photograph' taken of any actual human being that may have worked on the construction of the geoglyphs. Please drop me an e-mail and let me have your opinion. Thank you.
Please make a note that our next NascoBlog is the 9th October 2013 when I will discuss why I believe the Nasca Lines were constructed by means of astronomical phenomena - when many leading authorities still refuse to accept the fact.

NascoBLOG 6
Phoenicians ‘Heaven on Earth’ Photography (c) William James Veall
Hello Everyone. Welcome to NascoBLOG6.
I hope you all had a wonderfully refreshing vacation. How many of you went to Peru, or even to the Lebanon, the Home of the Phoenician-Canaanites?
Today, we finish this particular series of NascoBLOGS by asking; What is the real truth behind that Utopian Paradise, named by the Ancient Philosophers, 'Atlantis'?
Past NascoBLOGS have quite clearly proven the long term presence of Old World Civilisations living peacefully together in the Southern Coastal regions and High Altiplano of Peru, at least between 1200 B.C. to 400 B.C. However, as I predicted in the "Portraits" time- frame, SeaFarers were certainly in Peru circa 2200 B.C.
Also, my time- frame coincides with the Greek historical dialogues, suggesting a 1200 B.C.- 400 B.C. time-line is realistic:
12th Century B.C. Trojan War. Invention of the Phoenician alphabet. (1150 B.C.)
8th Century B.C. Homer and the Odyssey. (850 B.C.)
7th Century B.C. Solon. (638 B.C.)
5th Century B.C. Herodotus. (450 B.C.)
4th Century B.C. Plato. (385 B.C.)
Herodus was quite explicit about the fact that Homer 'lived' 400 years before him. Plato states that 'Atlantis' existed 9000 years before His time; this I corrected to 1150 B.C. (NascoBlog5) by assuming Plato's 'years' were probably derived from a lunar calendar, i.e. 9000 months instead of years.
Greek history is immensely complex, much of it being confused by mythological overtones, nevertheless, I believe there is a thin grain of historical truth running through the early dialogues which allows me sufficient latitude to present a positive case for Voyagers being able to reach 'Atlantis' on a continuous commercial basis.
So taking a purely commercial line of attack: in my opinion, trade was taking place between the Old and New World Civilisations long before the Greek dialogues, long before even the Trojan War. I believe it was at a point, circa 1200 B.C., for socio-politico-economic reasons, the story of 'Atlantis' imploding was invented as 'dressage' to protect alliances with South America.
But is this the whole truth?
Of the many satellite photographs I have captured and examined minutely there is not one single sign of destruction by volcanic eruption or even from 'a conquerer's mauls'. Every image is in almost original pristine condition even after nearly 3000 years of natural mountain top and desert erosion. Stranger still, there are no signs of elegant residential architecture, no halls or palaces or temples - just bundles of near ruinous, stone built, 'hutments'. A truly monastic existence.
That said, the satellite evidence does in a sense appear to support Plato and Homer, but we need to read between the lines; "a great and virtuous island where its Peoples (the Atlanteans) live in a paradise of peace and loving harmony".
In "Portraits of the Gods" I have hypothesised Priest -Gods may have exploited commercial revenues to achieve a long held ancestral dream; the creation of a 'Heaven on Earth' which would not only become a depository for knowledge Man had accumulated over, perhaps, countless millenia, and, even watched over by the very ancestors who had controlled the wealth, power and sources of this wisdom, depicted by the human head intaglios.
A colossal library of inscriptive story boards indelibly imprinted into the very heart of the earth, the desert, mountains, hillsides, the valleys and streams. A whole cultural existence set into one indestructable time capsule.
The New World Kingdom has one final but very important question - the real reason behind the colossal "Temple of the Sacred Lamb" portal. A Ram is, perhaps, not an unusual choice of icon for the then 'Age of Aries', but I believe the Ram played a much more integral role in the creation of the Atlantean 'Heaven on Earth' than one can possibly imagine.
The whole palimpsest is indicative of an embryonic form of 'Christianisation' being developed and practised secretively by a multi-racial Cult; this surely gives a rock solid reason for the necessity to invent an extremely elaborate cover-up story; "'Atlantis' was a great and virtuous island where its Peoples (the Atlanteans) live in a paradise of peace and loving harmony”.
There is no question, this was Homer's 'Kingdom of the Dead ' and the statue lined "Great Highway"; his 'Highway of the Dead.' South America is the 'Continental Island' the Ancient Priests called, 'Atlantis'.
Our next NascoBLOG7 is on the 25th September 2013.
