THE BLYTHE PETROGLYPHS: ANOTHER SPECULATION
This last week I was doing a little research on petroglyphs in conjunction with plasmas - you know, the kind of research I reviewed in my book The Cosmic War, based on some of the observations of plasma physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt, and I ran across this very intriguing story about the petroglyphs near Blythe, California:
The Mysterious Blythe Intaglios Geoglyphs in the California Desert
If you do not know what these petroglyphs are, they are near Blythe, California, in the desert, and they are North America's version of the so-called Nazca lines in Peru: they are large glyphs created on the desert floor, depicting various animals, and in some cases, what appear to be human (or at least, humanoid) male hunters. Like the Nazca lines, however, these geoglyphs are really only visible from the air, and in fact, it was a pilot flying over them that led to their (re-)discovery in 1931:
Army Air Corps pilot George Palmer departed the area of Hoover Dam on the morning of November 12, 1931, for Los Angeles. The flight became anything but routine when Palmer noticed strange figures below him on the barren landscape of the Colorado Desert. What seemed to be depictions of a mountain lion, horses, and a rattlesnake with large rocks for eyes loomed large beyond the cockpit.
It was the giants, however, that must have held Palmer’s attention. There were anthropomorphic human figures amidst the collection of animals and geometric shapes. Large ones. Additionally, the desert giants appeared to be male. One of them displayed a distinct rendering of its manhood. Another held a spear poised above two fish while the Sun and a serpent watched from above. A third stood with arms and legs outstretched as though he were participating in some ancient ritual or summoning.
But what caught my interest in this article was this statement:
These enormous ground designs remain one of the enduring historic mysteries of the United States. No one knows precisely who created them or when. However, what is certain is that the process of creating these phenomenal pieces of natural art required extensive time and effort. This reveals the importance of the geoglyphs to those who fashioned them.
“Their age is inbetween (sic) 450-2000 years old. According to the Mohave and Quechans, natives to the lower Colorado River area, the human figures represent Mastamho, the Creator of all life.” (Emphasis added)
Notwithstanding the local tribes' interpretation of these geoglyphs as depicting the "Creator of all life," presumably one of the male hunting figures, it's the age figure that intrigues me, for the geoglyphs are supposedly from 450 to 2000 years old, that its, they were created some time between the time of Christ and the beginning of European colonization of the Americas.
So why is that significant? For one thing, this is the same rough time period that many believe the Nazca lines, much further south in Peru, were also created. (Most dates give approximately 500 BC to 500 AD for the Nazca lines, which makes the terminus ante quem of the Bluthe geoglyphs about a thousand years later than the Nazca lines, with some considerable overlap from the earliest time for both sets of geoglyphs, 500 BC for the Nazca Lines, and 2000 years ago for the Blythe geoglyphs. In other words, the overlap suggests that there may be some common cultural background or undercurrent connecting the two sets. There are even some qualitative and stylistic resemblances.
And this fact brings me to today's high octane speculation. Within the alternative research community, and especially since the various publications of people like the late Eric von Daeniken or Zechariah Sitchin, the Nazca geoglyphs have been interpreted as implying that someone may have had some sort of flight technology, and that this was either used to create the glyphs, or that whoever created them was creating pictures that were only really visible to whomever did possess the technology and capability. In other words, if one assumes that interpretation and approach for the Nazca lines, it is only reasonable to apply it to the Blythe geoglyphs as well.
The implication is clear someone was flying around the southern California desert ca. 2000-450 years ago. One need not invoke UFOs or anti-gravity flying saucers. Someone able to see such geoglyphs from the air implies, minimally, a simple hot air balloon technology. Perhaps whomever was flying around possessed a kind of proto-dirigible technology and was able to steer their balloon. Or perhaps it was simply tethered to the ground.
My point in raising this issue is to extend this high octane speculation in a direction that, to my knowledge, no one has hitherto done: what if these geoglyphs are somehow behind or connected to the 19th century airship mystery; what if someone, knowing of their existence, came to a similar conclusion that we have come to regarding them, that they could only be visible from the air by someone with the wherewithal to do so? A hot air balloon, or, more importantly, a steerable and controllable aerial technology?
Put Blythe and Nazca together and I suspect you have a common culture and phenomenon; someone back then wanted to make pictures only able to be seen from the air, and that implies someone in the air to see them; perhaps a god, or perhaps someone with a technology to do so, or perhaps a bit of both.
See you on the flip side...
