5,000-Year-Old City Unearthed
Archaeologists have unearthed En Esur, one of the greatest cities of antiquity, in Israel. The 5,000-year-old settlement has been called a cosmopolitan wonderland by researchers and is thought to have been home to 10,000 residents during the Bronze Age.
Another important piece of the puzzle to our historic past, En Esur was a planned settlement with a network of streets, alleys, squares, and drainage and storage installations. Researchers point out that this type of structural thinking and planning was most likely only found in centers of trade. Here’s more on the discovery with BuzWeaver on The Lost History Channel TKTC.

New Data On Amelia Earhart
A new technique called neutron radiology might be the key to solving the 84-year-old mystery of Amelia Earhart’s disappearance. Earhart, celebrated as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean with a navigator friend, is at the center of perhaps the most historical mysteries when she vanished in her Lockheed Electra 10-E airplane in July 1937. The plane nor the remains of Earhart and her friend have ever been found.
During the flight, Earhart made radio contact with the cutter Itaska, explaining she was having radio and instrument troubles and said she was unsure of her precise location. Minutes later she vanished. In 1991, Earhart enthusiast Richard Gillespie found an aluminum panel in washed-up storm debris on the shore of a Pacific island and suspected the panel came from the Lockheed Electra. Fast forward to today and a Penn State University team is employing a neutron beam in hopes of uncovering hidden clues that might support Gillespie’s hypothesis.

Ancient Aussie Cave Art Found
If it weren’t for some wasp nests sitting atop some ancient kangaroo cave art, researchers would never have been able to determine the age of this amazing find. The magnificent art was in fact dated between 17,100 and 17,300 years old, thanks to three wasp nests that were carbon dated.
The discovery of the kangaroo art is significant, because it signifies the oldest known cave art recorded to date in Australia and reveals that there was a movement by aboriginal natives toward sheltered areas, away from ancient cataclysms. Within these boundary systems, people would live for a long time, and creativity and art were vital for longtime sanity. Here’s more on the discovery from BuzWeaver and the Lost History Channel TKTC.

Echos Of Lost, Advanced Culture
Why are there migration routes from the Mediterranean to more northern climates? Could it be something radiating in the southern sky was so intense that it forced people in the opposite direction?
Apparently so, since along the northern migration routes, archaeologists discovered the Skara Brae, the best-preserved Neolithic settlement in western Europe, where people began making their homes there in 3,100 B.C. It was discovered in 1850 when a storm exposed part of the coastal site. Continued erosion in the bay has led to similar discoveries.
An exceptional collection of artifacts were discovered at Skara Brae, attesting to the advanced culture that lived there. Among the artifacts were carved rocks, one of which was representative of the auroras manifesting discreetly in the sky, possibly the reason for the migration northward.

The Great Conjunction
The Great Conjunction was the star attraction in this year’s winter solstice, where the planets Saturn and Jupiter perfectly aligned with Earth. The event was regarded as widely significant in our culture in many aspects, with religious scholars relating the conjunction to the Star of Bethlehem, visible to observers during the birth of Christ.
Catastrophists worried that the gravitational influence would trigger a powerful solar flare, but the spectacular and rare event passed off into history, much to the delight of many stargazers. Although Saturn and Jupiter pass each other every 20 years, this year’s conjunction brought the planets within a tenth of a degree of each other, the closest in nearly four centuries and the most significant since the year 1226.

John Lennon And The NYC UFO
At 9 a.m. on Aug. 23, 1974, rock legend John Lennon witnessed a UFO hovering just below the New York City skyline. Viewing the scene stark naked from his apartment building, Lennon swears it wasn’t a helicopter nor a balloon. This hidden gem occurred during the former Beatles star’s now infamous lost weekend, an 18-month period of sheer rock ‘n roll madness and self-destruction, but also a dose of enlightenment ordered by his wife, Yoko Ono.
During this period, Lennon produced three albums, including the iconic “Mind Games,” where on the cover in the bottom left-hand corner, is the inscription: “On the 23 Aug. 1974 at 9 o’clock I saw a U.F.O.–J.L.” The following clip includes raw footage of an interview with Lennon regarding the UFO, where he’s asked if he reported the incident to the authorities. “I didn’t, because Lennon sees UFO … that’s enough to get me kicked out. It’ sad enough as it is.” He says that a friend called the newspapers and authorities and asked if anyone else had seen the object and, sure enough, there were others. Here’s more with Lennon in this “Light Up the Dark” feature from The Lost History Channel TKTC.

Prehistory’s Aurora Events
As far back as human history can be documented, catastrophic space phenomena in the form of plasmic energy discharges in the skies, sent early humans scurrying for shelter in the most remote locations imaginable.
Sometimes, these plasmic events, known today as auroras, were things of beauty for our ancestors. Other times, they created panic and terror. Amazingly, the prehistoric inhabitants of our planet documented the plasmic events through petroglyph carvings found throughout the world. The since-deciphered drawings reveal that these early civilizations undoubtedly experienced something so outrageous that they sought to document it for all time.

Asteroid’s Doomsday Scenario
In June 2014, scientists discovered a monster asteroid with the potential to end all human life as we know it. Asteroid Apophis, named for the Egyptian deity who embodies chaos and opposes life on Earth, will approach our planet within 19,400 on Friday, April 13, 2029, and be visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, Apophis will miss Earth on this approach, but it will enable scientists to gather valuable data on its trajectory to prepare for its next rendezvous in 2036. Scientists theorize that alterations made by Earth’s gravitational field and the asteroid’s perihelion (point which it is closest to the sun) could determine its trajectory on its next approach. BuzWeaver gives us the lowdown on Apophis in this installment of The Lost History Channel TKTC.

Apollo 20: Cover-Up Or Hoax?
Beginning in 2007, videos began appearing on YouTube, revealing a secret mission to the moon in 1976. The mission was allegedly conducted jointly by the United States and the Soviet Union to recover ancient artifacts and possible new technology. Incredibly, the previous Apollo 15 mission and subsequent Russian flybys had reported strange sightings on the moon.
The person who posted the videos was William Rutledge, a former employee of the United States Air Force, who claimed he commanded an Apollo 20 mission that landed on the moon in August 1976 to investigate the sightings. What his crew discovered will blow your mind. They came across an ancient alien base and a female humanoid, who was in suspended animation. Further exploration revealed that a huge object spotted by the Apollo 15 mission was actually an ancient spaceship, measuring 2.5 miles long. Not far from it was another small spaceship and remnants of an ancient city.
Though Rutledge stood by his claims and videos, the mission certainly seemed far-fetched and provided plenty of fodder for conspiracy theorists. Suffice it to say that NASA denied the Apollo 20 moon landing as a hoax, stating it was one of three missions cancelled because of reduced funding from Congress. There is even a Wikipedia page dedicated to it.
Thing is, history tells us many similar and zany cases often turn out to be true. As always, you be the judge. Here’s more from BuzWeaver on The Lost History Channel TKTC.

Space might not be the final frontier, but it is the next. Parts of our Earth are just as alien to us as the deepest parts of space and, at times, it might be easier to uncover the mystery of the cosmos than our own world.
Finnish astrophotographer J.P. Metsavainio took it to the extreme, creating a mosaic of the Milky Way Galaxy, a 12-year project to collect sufficient data. Total exposure time used was about 1,250 hours between 2009 and 2021. The final photo is about 100,000 pixels wide, including 234 individual mosaic panels stitched together and 1,7 gigapixels. Here’s more on the project with BuzWeaver from The Lost History Channel TKTC.
