A different Environment, coming again? Atlantis high-"tech", Giants, CO2, Magnetism, Electricity and Seeds

[Cosmos]

While reading Jim Viera's and Hugh Newman's fascinating book Giants on Record I came across two passages that proposed interesting ideas about the past and raised quite a number of interesting questions for me (see below). What I found particularly intriguing is that, for the first time, I've heard a hypothesis about why and how people in ancient times might have done what they did (building megaliths for example) that sounds quite plausible to me. It might also explain partly how and why they developed a civilization at some point that was much more advanced (Atlantis), while basing it on quite different principles than our industrial civilization. It almost seems like a different kind of environment back then might have fueled in large parts a quite different type of civilization. I think it is also for the first time I have heard somebody apart from the C's empathizing so much a different type of environment as a possible clue to the past.

Here is the passage:

Lost Energy Science of the Mound Builders​

Numerous scientific discoveries in the last decade suggest the Native American giants were highly advanced in mathematics, astronomy, astrology, agriculture, and it has been recorded up to relatively recent times that they were adepts of high magic and shamanic practice as evidenced in the knowledge of their Manitou principles. Stories suggest they could even control the weather and influence fertility and the growth of crops.85 It has been long debated these are merely folk tales and not based in reality. However, there are numerous stories collected by Vine Deloria that describe medicine men who could make corn grow before one’s very eyes. These include stories from the Navajo, Zuni and Pueblo peoples. An interesting example is titled The Pawnee Corn Growers that was witnessed by a certain Major North and other white people in historic times:

“...a few kernels of the corn were buried in the loose earth...the soil was seen to move, and a tiny green blade came slowly into view. This continued to increase in height and size, until in the course of
twenty minutes or half an hour from the time of planting, the stalk of corn was a foot or fifteen inches in height....at this point Major North was obliged to leave the lodge, to take out a white woman who was fainting...” 86

From The Andersen Intelligencer, July 16, 1903, it was reported that corn was found in a Kentucky mound sealed in a jar. It was said to be buried 60 feet below the ground alongside a giant skeleton measuring 8 ft 6 in. It was planted and produced a good yield which was then distributed to other farmers by the finder.

This is one report that speaks of an enormous skeleton being buried with corn that, when planted, was a very good yielder. Could this account be part of a greater story pointing to a lost ancient technique to imbue crops with these special characteristics?

Authors of Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty (2005) John Burke and Kaj Halberg were for a long time intrigued by accounts of fertility and natural magnetism associated with the mounds of North America. During the 1990s they decided to investigate the secret energies hidden within ancient sacred sites using high-tech modern equipment to see if the earthworks and megalithic sites could somehow affect the fertility of seeds and grains. Their dedication to unraveling the truth paid off when they realised the mounds they tested charged-up seeds and grains to such a degree that the crops would have increases in yield, be more fertile, be frost and disease resistant, but most importantly to our research, be larger.87

They found that this exact same ‘energy’ also affects consciousness and can put one into an altered state, often at these megalithic or earthwork sites (and at vision quest locations). Extensive tests were carried out and their conclusions should have shaken the scientific world, but were quietly ignored by the mainstream and put on the shelf as ‘fringe science.’ However, it revealed the ancients had a secret energy science fully developed and possibly used for thousands of years previously. The mounds and megaliths may have had a very useful purpose—they were not just ceremonial, but designed to guarantee an abundant harvest in an age when crop failure was very common.

Further tests were also carried out by geobiologist Alanna Moore on her farm in Australia. She laid out multiple mini-stone circles and got amazing results.88 The natural magnetic telluric currents organised themselves and created a force field that increased the health and vitality of her crops, again with increased size.

Could this work on a macrocosmic level where multiple sites spread out across an entire county would create what John Michell called ‘The Enchantment of the Landscape’—a force field of higher consciousness and positive energy, that gave abundant health to all the crops, plants, animals and humans within it? Is it too much to consider that the ancient Mound Builders perhaps believed that what was increasing their crops in size, may have increased their own size?

Electromagnetic Energies and Giantism​

In a scientific paper published by Tsutomu Nishimura, Kaneo Mohri, and Masanori Fukushima of the Translational Research Center, at Kyoto University, they pronounced that “...exposure to an extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) was associated with an increase in animal body weight.” They also suggested bones may increase in size over time:

“It is also possible that EMFs exert an effect on skeleton size via alteration of the proliferation and activity of bone cells. In support of this hypothesis, pulsed EMF stimulation has been used clinically for more than twenty-five years for the treatment of patients with delayed fracture healing and non-unions. Furthermore, a substantial number of in vitro studies have shown that EMFs have positive effects on the proliferation and activity of bone cells.” 89

Their most recent tests put forward the theory that “the large body size of the dinosaurs was caused by ELF-EMFs generated by natural phenomena: geomagnetic storms, volcanic activity, earthquakes, or Schumann resonance.” With so many Native American legends speaking of major cataclysms deep in prehistory, and events such as the Younger Dryas Impact, this data may also prove useful in understanding how natural phenomena affects the size of human and animal life.

Furthermore, the latitude of where the animals were living also had a direct effect on body size. The geomagnetic field of the earth is almost twice as strong at higher latitudes (nearer the North Pole), as compared to those at lower latitudes (nearer the Equator). Their research focused on,

“...the relationship between magnetic field (MF) exposure and animal body size because Bergmann’s rule holds that organisms tend to be larger at higher latitudes.” 90

Bergmann’s rule is an ecogeographic principle that generally states that populations and species of larger size are found in colder environments, and species of smaller size are found in warmer regions. The areas of latitude where the Patagonian and Onas giants once existed—at the southern tip of South America, and far north in the Canadian Lakes region, where there were humans who were growing one inch every thousand years—are two examples of where the Bergmann Rule may have been functioning. Being a giant may have been normal at extreme high and low latitudes.

“Our hypothesis is that, these changes in geomagnetic fields might cause organisms to grow in size.... These animals would gain a considerable amount of body size over generations, if their surrounding environmental MF and/or EMF become stronger.”

They also demonstrated that DNA may also be affected:

“...100 mT static magnetic fields have an effect on mitochondria; they found that energy activity and cell respiration in mitochondria that were exposed to a MF [magnetic field] increased by factors of 1.5 and 1.3, respectively, compared with the sham control group. It seems that mitochondria are activated by MF and thereafter provide more ATP [Adenosine triphosphate transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism] to some organelles in the cells of an organism. Promotion of ATP synthesis by a MF would provide the energy to maintain a larger body size. That is, organisms would be able to use magnetic energy as well as other forms of physical energy.” 91

Could this have somehow been known by the ancient shamans? Were mounds deliberately designed and constructed to replicate or enhance these energies—and even create an artificial ‘growth’ environment for the elite to live within?

This positive effect on the body and bones may also have had an effect on consciousness (as outlined by Burke and Halberg), so these fluctuations in the Earth’s natural magnetic field could have been seen as having a spiritual effect, and places of natural magnetism could have become the locations where these mounds were built.

The elite, however, may have lost some of this knowledge over time and although the mounds still functioned as energy generators—even up to the present day—new farming techniques, religious practices, and an already large population were on the increase.

“Cultivating the ennobling principle of what is termed Orenda, Native American medicine traditions assert that the men of old were far more robust and tireless. As late as just 5 or 6,000 years ago, a world tradition of very tall and strong people was alive and well, yet all gone now. Stories relating of such people permeate the Americas, a situation where they seem to have survived longer. Gradually losing the remarkably potent power associated with the Orenda principle, these people mainly came to a tragic end while the smaller-in-stature people, to whom they were directly related, were growing in number. The old order was gradually supplanted, succumbing to absorption or extermination. Going back before five and six thousand years however, and by the sparse or inferred evidence, the world was populated differently. Clans of very tall, physically robust, and otherwise gifted people had the rule.” 92

There may have been numerous external factors that stimulate growth in humans. However, the one factor that is often overlooked is the effect of carbon dioxide on life on Earth. Today we see the increase of CO2 as a sign of impending doom, but in prehistoric America, scientists have speculated this may have been the missing component in understanding the increased size of megafauna, and quite possibly the mega-humans that we have been discussing.

In A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Giantism and Longevity (1979), Donald Patten raises several essential questions about why the megafauna (and the coexisting giant humans) decreased in size so rapidly. He noted that gigantism occured across a great many species and the decrease happened quickly “because of a radical change in environmental conditions.”93

Patten also linked giantism with longevity, suggesting these phenomena occured together. He points to the incredible ages of some of the patriarchs in the Bible and how difficult it is for us to believe they could have lived so long, as we are confined to a much shorter lifespan. Vine Deloria Jr. was told many times by Indian elders that their ancestors lived in excess of 200 years.94

Patten concluded that in pre-flood times there was more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and this would have stimulated growth increases in a majority of living things. Modern tests have confirmed that elevated carbon dioxide levels increase plant growth. An excess of it in the atmosphere has been known to trigger the hypothalamus gland and hormones that affect growth in humans.95 It would also stimulate cerebral circulation and oxygenation. We never stop to think what life would have been like in deep prehistory, with something as simple as an extra ½ percent of carbon dioxide making us live longer, be bigger and stronger, and have quite possibly enhancing other powers within us.

And later they conclude with:

[...] This final chapter took us on a journey through some interesting (and quite bizarre) theories, so we hope we have given some ideas for further research, as the mystery of the ancient giants of America is still in its infancy, and with increasing carbon dioxide emissions, human hybridization, and a new understanding of earth energies in our current society, perhaps gigantism might be coming back, whether we like it or not. The time of the Tall Ones may be upon us once more. [...]

Particularly interesting, by the sounds of it, is the above referenced paper "A Comprehensive Theory on Aging, Giantism and Longevity" by Donald Patten, who seems to have been quite prolific, with many interesting studies. I couldn't find a copy to read through, but it should be possible to find.

The other interesting reference is the book Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty: Understanding the Lost Technology of the Ancient Megalith-Builders by John Burke and Kaj Halberg. Unfortunately, the versions sold online are very expensive, but maybe a cheaper version can be found?

John Burke was briefly mentioned before on the forum:

Someone on the thunderbolts.info forum posted a link to a video which I think is relevant:

Electroculture Ancient technologies of seed fertilization with John Burke

The video is an interview with John Burke who went around to all the various sacred sites and monoliths to measure the electric and magnetic fields. He found that some of these places had unusual electric and magnetic properties, and in one case these properties could dramatically effect people's emotions.

Burke was interviewed a while back:

In 2007 Burke gave a presentation at CPAK, of which the first 10 Minutes can be seen here:

Burke's insights were also briefly mentioned here and in a short reading of his book here:

Anyway, Viera's and Hugh Newman's passages above raised a number of questions for me:

- Could it be that in the times of Atlantis the earth environment was quite different from today, which in turn enabled people living in those times to relatively easily harvest/use and enhance NATURAL energies by building megaliths, mounds and the like, and by the same token, enhance their agricultural, physical and mental abilities/traits? Maybe in terms of those buildings, they really had quite practical purposes during the times of Atlantis to enhance effects that were NATURALLY present? Maybe a main reason why those works puzzle us today is because we live in a different environment now, which doesn't allow us (or very marginally) to use/see the same effects?

- Could it be that after the events of the Younger Dryas, this different type of environment, didn't altogether cease to exist in an instance? But rather, that yes, big parts were lost during and directly after the Younger Dryas, but some faint remains of that different environment still existed and gradually decreased for several thousands of years afterwards? Could this explain why after Atlantis destruction, some regions still seemed to try to build and handle things in the way Atlantis did (because it still worked, but much less so)?

- Could it be that the original Giants were a quite natural effect of the environment during Atlantis times, and that the elites at the time easily enhanced those "qualities" through harvesting/directing/using those NATURAL energies?

- Could it be that after the Younger Dryas, up until very recently (in North America for example, see Giants on Record), elites all over the world tried to artificially cultivate Giant traits that were once quite normal and easy to uphold/breed? But given the increasingly different environment they were faced with after the Younger Dryas, they grew smaller and smaller, despite their efforts in cultivating the opposite artificially?

- What is up with that mentioning of CO2 in connection with giant traits and maybe also enhanced mental and physical abilities apart from longer life spans? And on top of that, a different electromagnetic environment in connection with that? If there is something to that, could it be that part of the real drive behind reducing CO2 and preventing "climate change" is the fear of 4D STS losing control over the human population in the coming NATURAL changes of our ENVIRONMENT? A change that again changes the earth environment and enables humans to live longer, get bigger, have an easier connection/access to other planes, mentally and spiritually?

- The connection between latitude and body size is also interesting.

- Never heard of Bergmann's rule before, but it surely sounds interesting, also in connection to a possible coming ice age and ice ages in the past in general (during which Atlantis existed, as far as I know?). Quote:

Bergmann’s rule is an ecogeographic principle that generally states that populations and species of larger size are found in colder environments, and species of smaller size are found in warmer regions. The areas of latitude where the Patagonian and Onas giants once existed—at the southern tip of South America, and far north in the Canadian Lakes region, where there were humans who were growing one inch every thousand years—are two examples of where the Bergmann Rule may have been functioning. Being a giant may have been normal at extreme high and low latitudes.

The issue of electric and magnetic environment effects on living organisms reminded me of something I've read some time ago.
What's interesting is that the effect of an "paramagnetic tower" next to plants experiments are simple enough, can be replicated and one can see whether it works or not:

Oxygen is paramagnetic material, and according to the paper below, when placed in the magnetic field it allows for a more efficient fire/flame combustion, i.e. utilization of surrounding oxygen, which might also play a role in enhanced growth of living beings using oxygen in the presence of magnetic fields. FWIW.

Paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/335465123_Effect_Of_Electromagnetic_Field_On_Combustion_Of_Candle_Flame

Paper conclusions:

It is found that the candle flame could be significantly affected by the presence of the magnetic field; this effect appeared in the increasing of the flame height, the luminosity, brightness and the candle flame life time. Because of the oxygen is paramagnetic material, the magnetic fleld increases the oxygen concentration around the candle flame. This means that there is a complete combustion in the presence of the magnetic field.

Wow! Excellent post @Cosmos.

I've read Vine Deloria's work and he has many examples from Dakota oral history regarding how animals and humans shrank since the Ice Age. Even in the 1700's North American Plains people were considered among the tallest ever recorded by Europeans encountering them. Gregory Little also has an excellent book where he connects the North America Mounds to Edgar Cayce's readings on Atlantis.

Mound Builders: Edgar Cayce's Forgotten Record of Ancient America

I've noticed that even two nights ago, when we get very active Aurora, our animals' energy peaks and my wife can't sleep. Imagining a more energetic reality constantly as it may have been before the Younger Dryas, might accelerate all physical and mental growth. Possibly like comprehending Ph.d level complexity at age 8 and being able to physically work 18 hours a day without really feeling taxed.

"Authors of Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty (2005) John Burke and Kaj Halberg were for a long time intrigued by accounts of fertility and natural magnetism associated with the mounds of North America. During the 1990s they decided to investigate the secret energies hidden within ancient sacred sites using high-tech modern equipment to see if the earthworks and megalithic sites could somehow affect the fertility of seeds and grains. Their dedication to unraveling the truth paid off when they realised the mounds they tested charged-up seeds and grains to such a degree that the crops would have increases in yield, be more fertile, be frost and disease resistant, but most importantly to our research, be larger."

This is totally anecdotal on my part.

We spent every weekend from late April to mid-October this year at our trailer in SW Manitoba 250km from Winnipeg. As there's really nothing in between but crops, and my wife loves plants, we always took note of crop sizes and harvests. Our trailer is 8km from the largest ancient mound in Canada, and by far the tallest corn we saw was around the mound and in the general vicinity (over 7ft at harvest). The younger son of the family that farms the land right around it told me that they didn't harvest until early November as it kept growing. The snow had already started to fall.

I bought a Trifield EMF detector, two calibrated compasses and night vision to test out if there is anything unusual on that mound. The son has let me know that I can go up there in April before they seed. So hopefully I can get some hard data. He mentioned a lot of strangeness since they bought the land with the mound a few years ago from the descendants of the original homestead family that owned it from the 1880's. I'll confirm with him the exact details of those events, when I see him in April, but one really strange story he mentioned was that a psychic pulled up to their ranch a few years ago out of nowhere and wanted to talk to the family about the mound.

This is a rural area with only 5 or 6 farms spread out over 30 sq km. Their ranch isn't listed on any website and there's not really an address. Finding the mound is not easy, as all the old maps describing it's location were drawn before the highways were put in. It took me two weekends of driving around the area to find it a few years ago. When the psychic met the mom, she told her she had been reincarnated on the mound many times and that she once held a prominent place in its role. And no, the family isn't First Nations. So that's kind of strange...

I've never been able to find any photos this mound in books or online (I did ask Greg Little about it on X - and he had never heard of it), but here's one I snapped a couple of years ago. The area it's located in is known as the Tiger Hills. This area was de-glaciated in Manitoba before the Younger Dryas and was a barrier between Glacial Lake Hind and Agassiz. There's no agreed date for the mound, but the age range is guessed to be between 200BCE and 1200AD. Who knows? What is really neat is that it's located right at the Southwest shoreline of where Lake Agassiz once was. If it had been built in that era it would be a sentinel looking directly towards the center of the lake where Lakes Manitoba and Winnipeg now sits.

According to Kass in ancient times the size of animals and humans was influenced by gravity, and the more gravity increased the viability of large animals and humans decreased.

Additionally, the oxygen levels on earth were much much higher in the past potentially allowing dinosaurs to grow to their immense size
