I had come to Glastonbury at the invitation of Hugh Newman to speak at the UK Megalithomania Conference, and I quickly fell in love with the village and became fascinated by the local history, particularly the Glastonbury Zodiac. As we climbed to the top of the tor, Mr. Thorley shared freely and enthusiastically his penetrating insights concerning the landscape zodiac that surrounded us. Later, at the parking lot in the center of Glastonbury near the bed and breakfast where Katie my wife and I were staying, I was honored when Thorley inscribed to us a copy of the recently released, large-format, multi-authored anthology titled Signs and Secrets of the Glastonbury Zodiac edited by Yuri Leitch; Avalonian Aeon Publications, Glastonbury, Thorley contributed the opening and closing chapters to this massive tome.

Thorley and I had had some deep and profound discussions during the better part of a day we had spent together, as Katie and I had joined a small group Thorley led on a tour of Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor. He assured me that I would learn much more from this new publication, and he was right.
Soon I was in possession of secondhand copies of the original s descriptions of the Glastonbury Zodiac by Katherine Maltwood. I was hooked, but it turns out not for the reasons that initially attracted me to this enigmatic Zodiac that stretches some ten miles in diameter across the landscape.
I have always had a fascination for old things, for deep antiquity, and my initial interest in the Glastonbury Zodiac came from a passage I had read while researching the Elizabethan scientist, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, geographer, occultist, alchemist, and general polymath Dr. His voyage of discovery and two subsequent returns were not recorded outside of his own homeland, but, nevertheless, they were recorded. Like the Vikings whose similar adventures were described in their Sagas, the Welsh voyages were almost always considered fiction.
The Vikings sailed in search of new lands; others, including Basque and Breton fishermen, had fished the Grand Banks for cod long before Columbus, but the Welsh Prince sailed for peace. His adventure begins in Wales in after the death of his father Owain Gwynedd. Another son had been born to an Irish mother and was thus also deemed disqualified.
That particular son, David, had gathered those loyal to him and killed another of the brothers, so Madoc decided discretion was the better part of valor, and left Wales. Hakluyt insists the Prince Madoc made it all the way across the Atlantic, and that he then returned, and more than once. After reaching the Gulf of Mexico, Madoc headed back to Wales where he described the beautiful lands he had seen.

He then gathered a large group of followers and set about making a voyage of exploration and colonization. Again he crossed the sea but this time with ten ships and the company of both men and women. The monasteries of the British Isles and Ireland preserved much of the medieval culture of the period although time and catastrophe, punctuated by periods of disinterest, seem to have prevented much of their lore from surviving to modern times.
The travels of Madoc were also sung by Welsh bards long before Columbus. He is criticized because he often included what were considered the fanciful details which sailors brought home— many of which were later proven true—and were avoided by serious historians.

Such details are not the only reasons the stories were doubted, though. Some believe they were concocted entirely as another English attempt to build a claim for a piece of the New World, despite having been preceded by Columbus. One criticism of Hakluyt is that he claims it was in what is now modern Mexico that the prospective colonists landed. If a Welshman had been to America before the Spaniards, it might have added weight to British claims on that territory. The author also suggested that it might account for the practices and sacraments carried on by the Aztecs, that included Christian symbols and elements.
Montezuma, after all, said that white men had come before to bring education to his people. These bearded white men had left and promised to return. The Spaniards, as we know, would prove not to be the benevolent teachers he was expecting.

John Dee, alchemist and astronomer to Queen Elizabeth, would include the Madoc tale on his map. In late June of this year the world learned that the definitive answer is a resounding, yes. Before the announcement, conventional wisdom has had it that Vostok was probably sterile. It is, after all, very cold and inhospitable down there, but once again conventional science seems to have underestimated the capacity of life to exist, and even thrive, in worlds far stranger than previously imagined.
By sequencing DNA and RNA taken from the Vostok ice cores, the team has identified bacteria commonly found in the digestive systems of fish, crustaceans, and annelid worms, in addition to fungi and two species of archaea, or single-celled organisms that tend to live in extreme environments. Other species identified are commonly found elsewhere on Earth in habitats of lake or ocean sediments. As might be expected, organisms that live in extreme cold were found, but, surprisingly, there were also heat-loving thermophiles.
This suggests, scientists think, the presence of hydrothermal vents deep in the lake. In other words, it may be warm down there. Moreover, claims Rogers, the presence of marine and freshwater species indicates the lake once was connected to the ocean, and that fresh water may have been deposited there by the overriding glacier.
For many years Atlantis Rising Magazine has been among those making the case that there could be a great deal more to the story of Antarctica in general, and Lake Vostok in particular, than conventional science has led us to believe. The theory was further developed by I. The ake, however, is 13, fe f f et bece, or approxibelow sea level. The Russians had first discovered Vostok while carrying out a scientific drilling project in Ever since, speculation on what really might be down there has raged. Some have envisioned a world of perpetual twilight—at least during summer months— warmed by geothermal energy, inhabited with everything from one-celled organisms to giant fish.
The lake, we are told, has been sealed for at least , years and likely has a pristine environment possibly quite different than the world we know. Many have feared that the lake could be contaminated by various proposed exploration attempts or that some kind of catastrophe could endanger the lives of the explorers, or worse. Lost Civilization Some researchers, like ex-CBS space consultant Richard Hoagland author of The Face on Mars , have conjectured that the lake may contain the ruins of a lost, ancient civilization.

Indeed, unusual magnetic anomalies have been detected in the neighborhood. According to a dramatic report released in December, by National Geographic News, of doing so, they made a stunning find. A huge magnetic anomaly was discovered covering the entire southeast portion of the shore of the Lake.
During the War, U. Rear Admiral Richard Byrd is said to have warned of a threat from the poles. Some say, that when, after the war, he visited the polar region with a Naval task force, he may have done so to finish off the German bases. Little in the way of convincing evidence to support such assertions has turned up, but one amazing story about Antarctica for which there is plenty of evidence has to do with the cartographer Charles Many h could b ou a k e e Lo exRi R R c of T con may lost, deed anom in th search gated H and fi f f Under Ho serted th of scient versity, y y pices of Foundat ries of ogist, who in , 7 wrote a Ph.
