Is the U.S. government covering up evidence that the ancient Egyptians once traveled as far as the Grand Canyon? As far-fetched as that may seem, there is some evidence that suggest that may be exactly what is happening. On April 5th, 1909, a front page story in the Arizona Gazette reported that a team of explorers had made absolutely mind blowing archaeological discoveries in the heart of the Grand Canyon. The team was apparently funded by the Smithsonian Institute, and the article mentions structures and hieroglyphics that the team found which were described as being "Egyptian" in nature. Unfortunately, after this initial news report there were never any other reports about this extraordinary discovery. So did this discovery really happen? Is it being covered up? Is there evidence sitting in caverns near the Grand Canyon that would change everything that we believe about North American history? (Read More.....)

As advanced as we like to think that we are, the truth is that ancient civilizations are still being discovered today. Just recently, researchers believe that they have found two previously unknown ancient civilizations - one on the sea floor of the Caribbean and the other deep in the forests of the Amazon. The reality is that as scientists and researchers make additional discoveries, it just underlines the fact that there is much more to the ancient history of the earth than we have been led to believe. The sea floors and the dense jungles throughout the earth contains some amazing mysteries. As researchers delve into these mysteries, they are often learning that ancient humanity was much more advanced than most people would think. 
The ancient city of Baalbek is one of the greatest archaeological mysteries of all time. Located east of the Litani River in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, Baalbek is world famous for its exquisitely detailed yet monumentally scaled Roman temple ruins. In Roman times, Baalbek was known as Heliopolis (after the sun god) and it contained some of the largest and most notable Roman temples ever built. In fact, the Romans had constructed an extraordinary temple complex in Baalbek consisting of three separate temples - one for Jupiter, one for Bacchus and one for Venus. But what these Roman temples were built on top of is much more important. These Roman temples were actually built on top of an ancient 5 million square foot platform that was made from some of the largest stones ever used in any construction project in the history of the earth. In fact, the largest stone found near the Baalbek ruins weighs approximately 1200 tons and is about 64 feet long. To put that in perspective, that is the equivalent of approximately 156 full size African elephants.
