ATLANTIS RISING LAUNCHES NEW HOME VIDEO SERIES WITH TECHNOLOGIES OF THE GODS With the February release of the one-hour video documentary Technologies of the Gods, Atlantis Rising opens a new chapter in its campaign to promote alternative explanations for some of the world's most perplexing mysteries. An exploration of evidence for the existence in prehistory of technologically advanced civilization, the program includes interviews with many of today's most avant-garde researchers. Among the many authorities lending expertise to the project were John Anthony West, Robert Bauval, John Michell, Colin Wilson, David Hatcher Childress, Zecharia Sitchin, and many others. Narrated by Atlantis Rising editor and publisher Doug Kenyon, the program features on-location footage from the world's most mysterious locations including Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid, Tiahuanaco and others which provides compelling evidence that the ancients possessed technology equal to and in many cases exceeding our own. Computer animation and powerful original music complete what promises to be a widely viewed presentation. Within the coming months Atlantis Rising Video plans to release videos dealing with new energy and English megalithic sites. The plan is to release three such documentaries a year indefinitely. All videos are currently planned to retail for $19.95 (plus $4.95 S.&H.). A subscription to the first three is now available for $54.95.

ACUPUNCTURE GETS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FROM NIH Long suspected by American medicine of being mere quackery, the ancient Chinese needle therapy acupuncture finally got a clean bill of health when federal authorities grudgingly conceded the therapy apparently does work in some cases. Citing clear evidence that acupuncture effectively treats pain after surgery or dental procedures and controls nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, a committee of medical experts convened by the National Institutes of Health made its findings public in November. Also listed as areas in which acupuncture has been found effective were tennis elbow, muscle pain, and menstrual pain but the report recommended more research. Dr. David J. Ramsey, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and chairman of the panel said, I view this as a beginning to a better integration of acupuncture into traditional Western medicine and (we should) start taking it seriously. The report comes as no surprise, of course, to the millions around the world and in the U.S. who already use the therapy on a regular basis, but it is undoubtedly a shock to the many old school physicians who have steadfastly derided all forms of alternative medicine including acupuncture. The ancient Chinese who invented and practiced the technique for centuries, if they were still around, might be forgiven for wondering what took us so long. EXPLORER SEEKS TO PROVE THAT ANCIENT CHINESE SAILORS PLIED THE PACIFIC AND VISITED PERU Solomon's temple continues its influence in today's world. In addition to Orthodox Jews, Freemasons and mystics of many stripes, the latest to recognize a debt to the ancient edifice are archaeologists, though it's not so much a debt as a receipt. A recently discovered piece of pottery records a donation to the House of Yahweh. Now scientists are saying the shard may be the oldest mention outside the bible of King Solomon's Temple. No one is quite sure how the piece of pottery made it to London collector Shlomo Mousaieff, but testing has convinced experts that it is the real thing. The inscription indicates a Judaean king sent it to dun a temple contributor. It says Ashyahu the king commanded a donation for the house of Yahweh of three shekels of silver. The amount was apparently written in to serve as a receipt. Generally believed to have been built in the 10th century B.C., the temple was destroyed four centuries later by Babylonian invaders. Scholars say the pottery piece is important because it provides a context and a reality to the world of the Bible. NEW EXPERIMENT POINTS TOWARD STAR TREK-STYLE TELEPORTATION The day when Scotty can beam us all up may be a bit closer. Quantum teleportation of the kind routinely practiced on the starship Enterprise of Star Trek fame came a step closer in December. Scientists in an Austrian laboratory succeeded in destroying bits of light in one place and then made perfect replicas in another place. Of course, we are only talking about a few photons and for only a few feet, but the idea is the same. The phenomenon admittedly is a spooky one even Albert Einstein didn't believe it was possible but scientists pulled it off, and now the whole world is speculating about transportation without traffic jams. Whatever the new trick may lead to most likely superfast computers it doesn't appear likely to become an option for transportation any time soon. Right now scientists are willing to predict the movement of a few atoms in a few years but not much more. Oh well, very few thought the Wright brothers would get off the ground either. POLAR MELTING IS ACCELERATING SAYS NEW STUDY The melting of arctic ice which many scientists attribute to the industrial age is not new but has never been quite so fast. In fact, a study of 400-year arctic temperatures found in tree rings, lake and ocean sediments, and ice cores has concluded there was a warming cycle in the arctic which lasted from the middle of the nineteenth century till the middle of the twentieth. That thaw is still going on and accelerating with, some scientists believe, the help of greenhouse gases. The analysis published in the journal Science shows that rising arctic temperatures have caused glaciers to recede, less sea ice to form in the winter, and the summertime thawing of soil, or permafrost, which usually does not warm above freezing, says the lead author Jonathan T. Overpeck. For another spin on the threats associated with arctic ice, see the interview with Richard Noone on page 25. Noone is author of 5/5/2000: Ice the Ultimate Disaster. He believes that the weight of accumulated ice at the poles could set in motion a catastrophic shift in the earth's crust. Also in this issue see the article on page 30 by Rand Flem-Ath co-author of When the Sky Fell, which details the implication of massive ice buildup at the poles in terms of earth crust displacement as originally theorized by Charles Hapgood. |
