Revelations: Truths Revealed In the early seventeenth century, the overall consensus was that the Earth was created in the year 4004 B.C. The Church explained away marine fossils, occasionally found high in the mountains, as "the work of the devil, put there to test the believer's faith." This type of thinking went unchallenged until 1912, when Alfred Wegener proposed that not only was the earth much older but her continents actually drifted. This, of course, was immediately rejected by the scientific world. But his theories were given validation in the 1950's through the birth of a new branch of science called 'paleomagnetism'. Just in a matter of a few centuries the 'set-in-concrete' dates of earth's age has changed from thousands of years old to billions of years old. Unlike the people of the seventeenth century, we now know that marine fossils found high in the mountains is not the work of the devil placed there to test our faith, but the remains of life from an ancient time. Geologically speaking, the American Continent has been proven to be the oldest of the continents. It has also been determined that Ages ago; a portion of it sank beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. North America was once connected to the western part of Africa; Nova Scotia (Canada) was adjacent to Morocco; and New Jersey was connected to the Western Sahara." During the Cretaceous Period, the lands of North America, Greenland and Europe were connected. The Colorado Sea covered most of central North America, stretching from Mexico into the Arctic. Cherokee tradition retains the memory of their people coming from the 'Old Red Land' that existed during the period when North America (Laurentia) collided with Northern Europe (Baltica) and formed 'The Old Red Sandstone Continent'. Hopi tradition calls this landmass, "Turtle Island", describing it as having four arms, a head and tail. One arm is Baja; another is the Bay Area peninsula; another is Florida and the other long arm is Nova Scotia. The tail leads down to Central America and its head is the Bering Strait. As you read this book, you will also come to realize that unknown cultures with highly advanced scientific technology not only existed here but thrived with the help of the indigenous people. Academia pushes the theory that our ancient ancestors were an "Unconnected" people living throughout the four corners of the world, isolated and independent from each other. Evolution of their culture and scientific advancement was the result of time and chance opportunities. However, In "Revelations: Truths Revealed", it becomes quite evident that our ancestors were all part of the same culture who shared idealism and common history. This author further submits that the world's indigenous population was controlled by empires of the same families. These Empirical families encompassed the four corners of the world through intimate communications and travel. For them, distance was no greater of an obstacle to their interaction than it is for us today. As time and the face of the earth went through her changes, many species of animal, plant, bird and races of man died out. Others adjusted to the new earth and evolved into the species we have today. Ancient texts, monuments, temple reliefs, artifacts, mythology, DNA and recessive genes lend evidence that other lost and unknown races existed in a Time now lost to us. They also support that races of Atlantean giants lived in North America. As thousands of earthen burial mounds attest, constant war against one another caused their numbers to diminish and the smaller, but more numerous races eventually subjugated them. It is my hope, through my writing of "Revelations: Truths Revealed", that by learning the true history of our past, we will gain a better understanding of not only our ancestors but of our own true nature.
