The Tomb

All three translations speak of a burial site, with evidence of an obvious shaft nearby.  The government authorities seem to  base their conclusions on the glyphs alone, with little interest on the shaft below, which subsequently was partially destroyed and the entrance filled in on numerous occassions.   

 "Fact No: 1. Yes, the hieroglyphic site could have been carved by Sydney University 

Students, but only the hieroglyphic site. Not the chambers below, and only, if they 

had the theoretical knowledge, that their Professors were lacking, hence to put it 

bluntly, it is claimed here: “That the calf is smarter than the cow.” Or”that the 

students are smarter than their Professors. Which is clearly absurd.

Fact No: 2. There is no way, that anyone could have carried the foot thick stone 

plated down the walled in section and lined them up to form the airway or Door 

to eternity with one or two people. As the opening was barely big enough to admit 

one person, leave alone a huge rock plates. No. This site was build from the bottom 

up, to facilitate easy handling. The Roof of the grave was put in last, and this could 

not be done without heavy equipment. Only with man power and Egyptian know 

how. Proving again, that this site is no hoax."

On a recent visit to the area, another anomaly struck me and reminded me of ancient megalithic sites found in South America, sitting in plain sight, yet never having previously caught my eye.    Some of the sandstone blocks seem to be fitted together like a jigsaw puzzle.  This type of ancient (earthquake proof) construction,  referred to as Polygonal Walls are to be found throughout the world including  Mexico and Mesoamerica.  Sites such as Pumapunku at Tiwanaku, Bolivia, and the Incan ruins at Machu Picchu, Cuzco, and Ollantaytombo, with examples found in places like:  Italy, Turkey, Japan, and the Polynesian Islands like Rapa Nui (Easter Island), naming only a few.  This ancient method of building, sometimes also referred to as Cyclopean Masonry is the sturdiest form of building known to man.  Ancient city ruins, pyramids, rock walls and pillars, they were all built to stand the test of time, with the stone construction techniques unparalleled in today’s world. 

Polygonal walls are traditionally classified into three types or manners. The first type is constructed with blocks of medium dimensions with coarse and inaccurate joints, the second type shows a good stonework with few wedge fillings between main blocks, and finally the third manner is simply perfect, with joints so accurately prepared that it is impossible to insert even a sheet of paper or the blade of a pocket knife between two adjacent stones.'  -  See link for more detail http://www.terradegliuomini.com/opere-megalitiche/megalithic-civilizations-in-the-mediterranean-area-and-south-america/

The four pictures below are at the Kariong Hieroglyph site, with years of erosion and weathering, it can be difficult to ascertain if  the same building technique is used here?   However, put that together with the hieroglyphs and the burial tomb, it certainly needs to be investigated further on future visits to the area.

The images below are  of the megalithic sites to be found in South America, the Mediterranean and Easter Island 

I feel that this ancient building method may have been used to house the tomb, and that it was at one stage all rendered smooth.   Bob Clutton, a fellow researcher of the area, recently mentioned that he felt  the trough situated a small distance above the  glyph walls was used to mix render.   He had come to this conclusion whilst contemplating how the glyphs (some being perfectly shaped circles), could have been etched into the rock face without any evidence of pecking marks.   Some years ago, he had seen what looked to be broken render on the ground nearby, but it had been removed the next time he visited the area.  

"Several opinions have been put forward in regard to the trough, from secret women's business ‘birthing canal’ to iron banding and even a natural phenomenon formation, as well as sandstone hydrothermal (that’s a new one?), none of which fitted in with my logical beliefs. I reason a far more practical use for this trough type item, one which could work in with Prof. Dr. Davidovits (France) pyramid construction controversy. "  - Bob Clutton

When looking closely at the Polygonal Walls at Delphi in Greece a similar process has been used, where the structure is built, then a masonry render is coated onto the rock surface and inscriptions are then embeded into the render.  

Ancient Seafarers 

Is it possible that the Egyptians were sailing the high seas, long before Christopher Columbus?   The misconception that people at the time of Columbus believed the world was flat was listed by Britain's Historical Society, as the second most common error in history.      Many ancient maps have come to the surface with the help of our modern day internet and social networks from around the globe.   

There is significant evidence that ancient sea farers knew about the Great Southern Land.   It is already well known that Dutch explorer Abel Tasman had sailed to our shores more than a century before Captain Cook.      The first records of European mariners sailing into 'Australian' waters occurs around 1606, and includes their observations of the land known as Terra Australis Incognita (unknown southern land). The first ship and crew to chart the Australian coast and meet with Aboriginal people was the Duyfken captained by Dutchman, Willem Janszoon.   This Great Southern Continent of Australia was well known to the Crown, long before Cooks journey of discovery.   In 1768, Cook was secretly instructed to head southward after his required observation of the Venus Transit on King George's Island in the South Pacific.  His instructions were as follows -

'When the service is performed, you are to put to Sea without loss of Time & carry into execution the ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS contained in the enclosed Sealed Packet. 'There is reason to imagine that a Continent or Land of great extent may be found to the Southward of the Track lately made by Captain Wallis in His Majesties ship the Dolphin.  

You are to proceed to the Southward in order to make discovery of the Continent above mentioned until you arrive in the Latitude of 40 degrees, unless you sooner fall in with it.   But not having discovered it or any distant sign of it in that Run you are to proceed in search of it to the Westward between the Latitude before mentioned & the Latitude of 35 degrees until you discover it, or fall in with the Eastern side of the Land discovered by Tasman & now called New Zealand.

Upon your arrival in England you are immediately to repair to this Office in order to lay before us a full account of your Proceedings in the whole Course of your Voyage; taking care before you leave the Vessel to demand from the Officers & Petty Officers the Log Books & Journals they may have kept, & to seal them up for our inspection & enjoyning them, and the whole Crew not to divulge where they have been until they shall have Permission to do so.'

Given under our hands the 30th of July 1768

There are indications Egyptians inhabited the southern land thousands of years ago and ocean voyages had been common since the beginning of the Egyptian Kingdom, perhaps even prior to this.   On Crate's map of the world, Australia is named 'Antoecie' as it is on the Greek map by Eratosthenese in 239 BC.

At times, the ancient Egyptians called Punt Ta Netjer, meaning “God’s Land”. This referred to the fact that it was among the regions of the Sun God, that is, the regions located in the direction of the sunrise, to the east of Egypt. These eastern region resources included products used in temples, most notably incense.

Excavations at an ancient Egyptian shipyard have unearthed remains of the world's oldest seafaring ships.  The 4,000 year old timbers were found alongside equally ancient cargo boxes, anchors, coils of rope and other naval materials just as old, at what archaeologists are calling a kind of ancient military administration site.  The massive complex, made up of six manmade caves, is located at Wadi Gawasis, a small desert bluff on the Red Sea near the modern city of Port Safaga.  Hieroglyphs inscribed on some of the cargo boxes indicate that many came from a single origin: the almost mythical city of Punt.  – Heather Whipps, Live Science

A relief at the temple of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut in Luxor, Egypt, carved ca. 1480 B.C., shows a merchant ship on a trading expedition.  The scenes carved into a wall of the ancient Egyptian temple at Deir el-Bahri tell of a remarkable sea voyage. A fleet of cargo ships bearing exotic plants, animals, and precious incense navigates through high-crested waves on a journey from a mysterious land known as Punt - “The Land of God."   Hieroglyphs of ships are also to be found in the tomb of Mereuka in Saqqara.

The oldest known contacts are dated to the second half of the Old Kingdom, but it is not unlikely that there were older contacts as well. Apparently, the Egyptians always appear to have known the way to Punt, even after five centuries without contact between the 12th and the 18th Dynasty.   http://www.ancient-egypt.org/index.html

Australia is a very old country; it is big and it is isolated from ALL other countries now by water, although many thousands of years ago, it may not have been the case. It has been suggested that there once was a land bridge between Australia and Asia. Also it has an abundance of gold  and minerals.   If the land of Punt is not Australia itself, there is good reason to believe it was a land somewhere in the Pacific that was visited by the Egyptians.   If this is the case, no doubt the ancient seafarers had maps of the ancient land masses of the Pacific  in their possession.

The above map was found in a pre-dynastic tomb in Hierakonopolis in Egypt.

Sinim was the ancient Hebrew name for a mysterious southern continent, mentioned in the Old Testament. The Phoenician name for it was Ophir, a "great south land of gold" where gold was obtained to build Soloman’s temple. The Egyptians called it "the land of Punt."  

(1 Kings 9:26-28 26) King Solomon also built a fleet of ships in Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth [now Eilat] on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom. (27) And Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, sailors who knew the sea, along with the servants of Solomon. (28) And they went to Ophir, and took four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

The writings of Jewish historian Josephus (first century AD), offered his explanation of the Biblical story of Solomon and Hiram's joint trade mission to the distant land of Ophir. In his Antiquities of the Jews, he said the voyages which began from the Red Sea port of Ezion-geber (near Israel) for the island of Chryse -  far to the east in the Indian Ocean. Trade voyages took three years to complete according to the Old Testament.

Further Evidence

Marilyn Pye (Nicknamed the 'Pyramid Lady') was leading a team of researchers and writers between 1983 and 1985, who supported evidence in Australia of Middle East mining expeditions, South American entradas and unknown histories all taking place before colonial settlement.  

According to Marilyn, 'Two groups seemed to have been in Australia. One group who the Aboriginals call the Bianne arrived in Northern Australia in sailing ships. The Bianne are identified by the artifacts they left behind, prove that they were Egyptian Semitic people. The Bianne came to Australia well aware of the conditions in Australia and were well prepared to stay for a considerable time. In the Aboriginal legends of the Bianne they tell us that they planted food and cotton crops. They bought large pots to dye their fabrics and looms on which they wove their fabrics. The Bianne traveled to many parts of Australia. They were light-skinned people and the women according to the Aboriginals were very beautiful.

Two Egyptian scarab beetles found in Australia can give us a date when the Baaine were in Australia. Those scarab beetles have the names of unknown Egyptian Pharoahs, dating to the time of Seti I and Ramses II. So we can place the Bianne in Australia around 1280 BCE.'  - 1999 Interview with Marilyn Pye http://www.oocities.org/worldtree_2000/Marilynpye.html

Many ancient artifacts, stone carvings, Egyptian coins, old shipwrecks including Spanish, Dutch and Chinese ships have been uncovered here in Australia.   Some of these finds have been either criticised or silenced, as they are not in keeping with the status quo regarding pre Cook history.   With the evidence mounting up, it seems absolutely plausible, that the ancient Egyptians, Phonecians, Spanish and others were visiting our shores hundreds, if not thousands of years ago, giving further evidence to an ancient worldwide, seafaring civilization other to our own.
