Unidentified Archaeological Phenomena

It’s well documented that most ancient civilizations throughout history and even prehistory, used a variety of methods to alter their consciousnesses. The particular ways varied from culture to culture, but written and oral accounts, as well as DNA evidence from temple sites make it clear, altering consciousness was a central theme of many ancient cultures. From simple mushrooms and cacti to complex fermented brews, some of the largest and most advanced civilizations routinely used these technologies as the inspiration for proto-religious rites as far back as 4,000 BCE. 

And further, modern discoveries like Göbeklitepe, a massive complex with no permanent residences, dated as far back as 8,000 BCE, might be a clue that we weren’t hungry hunter gatherers who slowly developed agriculture, but religion obsessed hunter gathers, capable of incredible coordination and construction for consciousness-altering rituals. From the stone henges and megaliths in Europe, subsurface temples in the jungles of South America and Indonesia, and beneath the sands of the Middle East, we now have reason to suspect the ancients were constructing religious structures on a global scale, millennia before the advent of civilization.

By collaborating with companies that employ satellites, sonar, LIDAR, seismographic and muon tomography, and ground-penetrating radar, to explore jungles, ice caps, seabeds, and coastlines (places where civilizations likely thrived and, with equal probability, were swept away), we believe we are on the brink of discovering a global phenomenon that could significantly rewrite our understanding of human history.
