Archaeological Discoveries - Humanity's Origins


This is a very informal special based upon the archaeological finding s of recent times on the origins of mankind. This is one very extraordinary broadcast hosted by Mr. Charlton Heston.

This program was brought to the public's eyes by the Emmy Award winning creators of "The Mystery of the Sphinx". We will be thrust forth into the World of the greatest question all of humanity has pondered about for centuries, Where did we come from and how were we created? The teachings of modern evolutionary theories and the rise of humanity will be challenged within this video series.


Scientific investigators present a large array of new evidence which the academic community has quietly and swiftly ignored, Did we evolve from the ape? That is simply one example of what will be discussed in this very eye opening documentary. Human bones and fossils have been discovered that predate the dinosaurs. It is now known and proven in this documentary that the bones found completely dismantle the theory of evolution and they are older than what the theory itself allows.


Did humans live at the exact time of the dinosaurs? Well it is now known and shown in this incredible video that human footprints have been discovered next to footprintsa of the dinosaurs that date back to over 100 million years ago. Is it possible that the lost city of Atlantis be buried under miles of ice? Ancient maps with hidden clues about the great civilization of Atlantis may hold the key to solving its great mystery. A city that was once a metropolis in the ancient times has been discovered in the Bolivian Andes region and it has been dated approxiamtely to 15,000 B.C.


This proof can change the evolutionary theory to absolutely nothing. It can transform all of the textbooks we have in our schools to what we truly must be learning about our orgins and how we came to existence on this beautiful planet. Please go out and do your own research if you do not believe any concept or theory discussed within this wonderful documentary.

Prehistoric Mammoth Discovered


A baby mammoth which died 37000 years ago could unlock the genetic map of some extinct animals. It's the best preserved prehistoric animal.


Archaeological features covered just below the surface often leave tell-tale 'lumps and bumps', plough action in fields can lift archaeological material to the surface, in areas of restricted human activity, worked flint scatters can survive untouched for many centuries and standing buildings and field boundaries can be of great antiquity yet archaeologically unexamined. Survey of these sorts of features across huge areas, through measured walkovers or aerial photography, can produce a new perspective on the archaeological record and identify areas requiring better management or areas where excavation could be advantageous.


Such survey is usually accompanied by documentary and historic research to better inform the findings. Advances in survey technology have allowed the rapid and exact analysis of wide areas by relatively untrained personnel making the process an efficient way of learning more about the historic environment. 3D laser scanning, Total stations and digital photography have helped reduce the time and cost involved in such work.

Iceman - the story of otzi


The world's oldest mummy visits Sydney.

Otzi's Curse


Influenced by the "Curse of Pharaohs" it was believed that Otzi mummy was cursed. The claim is that the deaths of some main people connected to the discovery and examination of Otzi have died under mystifying conditions. This includes the

ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCE PROTECTION



The OSA protects endangered archaeological sites on private or public lands through enforcement of the North Carolina Archaeological Resources Protection Act , the Unmarked Human Burial and Human Skeletal Remains Protection Act , the North Carolina Archaeological Record Program , and the "Abandoned Shipwreck Law".

The OSA works closely with private citizens, local governmental bodies and law enforcement officials, and state agencies like the N.C. Department of Transportation, Commission of Indian Affairs and the Division of State Parks and Recreation. Protection of archaeological sites by easements and tax incentives is actively encouraged by the OSA, as are cooperative efforts through the federally sponsored Certified Local Governments program.
