Amazing Cave Find in New Mexico!

 




This post is by researcher and author David Claerr.

The renowned wilderness guide and adventurer Don Monroe was exploring a cave in a remote area of the state of New Mexico. He was accompanied by his companion and fellow explorer. The cave was extremely well hidden and his long history of exploring caves had him pull back a great degree of growth to enter. As Don was suffering kidney stones at the time, he was getting antsy to leave, but he just had to know what this well-hidden cave had to offer. His companion took a single photo of a room that appeared to be completely worked over and fashioned for the display of some figures. Sadly, as Don's kidney stones became worse, the couple had to rush off to the nearest big city where he spent days on antibiotics and recovering. They headed back to his Montana base and began some other explorations, setting aside the cave find. Don was not sure of the importance of the find, and it left his mind for many years, although he kept the photo his companion had taken. 

The two statue groups each had a pair of figures crouching back-to back, and each pair was connected in the back, having been hewn out of a single block of stone. They sat atop of a raised daiz of a sort made of thin sheets of stone.

The two statue pairings had similar, yet distinct styles, as though created by different artists. The type of stone used is also different.

The elements that the statues had in common were the crouching stances, arms folded across the belly, large heads with bulging eyes, pug noses, and thick-lipped wide mouths with protruding tongues.



The amazing fact is that these peculiar elements are found almost exclusively in the  back-to-back conjoined tiki figures from the Polynesian islands of the Marquesas.

The Marquesas Island chain is in the South Pacific, about the same latitude as Peru. New Mexico is about 5,000 miles to the Northwest.



The montage below is comprised of sculptures from the Marquesas.



Another remarkable comparison is that the smaller pair of the New Mexico figures have the same type of round caps or hats with a distinct brim as do the Marquesas figures. The larger pair from the cave have rounded caps or hair-styles as do other Marquesas figures.

So how could the Marquesan-style  figures make the transit from the Marquesas, far to the north and inland to New Mexico?

There must have been a set of remarkable circumstances leading to this conclusion. 

However, it is an established fact that Polynesian voyagers in ancient times crossed the Pacific from west to east, originating with seafarers in Taiwan. Anthropological, Linguistic and now, Genetic Data has confirmed this. 

The Polynesian culture, originating with the indigenous peoples of current-day Taiwan, after centuries of seas travel, coalesced in the Islands of Samoa, a base from which they eventually made very lengthy sea voyages on large double-hulled canoes or catamarans.

The catamarans had sails on pivoting masts that enabled them to sail in any direction, even against prevailing winds, by “tacking” or sailing at a diagonal into the wind. 

The Polynesians also used the ocean currents for travel, drifting with the current, lowering their sails. 

The Marquesas, at the farther eastern edge of their range were probably settled by Polynesians by about 800 AD/CE.

By sailing north from the Marquesas, the voyagers could catch the Equatorial Counter Current, which would carry them from west to east, enabling them to reach the shore of South America, most directly to Columbia.

The return trip was accomplished by riding the Southern Equatorial Current directly back to the Marquesas. The Trade Winds also blow from east to west in that area of the Pacific, and would speed up the voyage considerably.



A very interesting and significant result from a comprehensive Genetic Study revealed that Native South Americans from the region of Columbia had reached the Marquesas and interbred with the local populations, probably about 1150 AD/CE. 

Since the genetic input from the Colombians indicate that just a few persons had interbred, it is most likely that they were brought from Columbia to the Marquesas. Alternatively, voyagers from Columbia may have reached the Marquesas.

It is noteworthy that there was a significant amount of maritime activity along the western coast of Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, Panama and Mexico that was well established before the arrival of the Spaniards and other Europeans.

For example, there is the account of the Incan prince Topa Inca Yupanqui, who voyaged with a fleet of thousands of hand-picked sailors on a voyage lasting at least nine months. He went in search of two islands that two merchants (likely Polynesian) had informed him about. Historians surmise that the islands Topa Inca Youpanqui reached were Mangareva and Pascua in Polynesia.

Another example of ocean travel was the modern voyage by Thor Heyerdahl on a primitive balsa wood raft, the Kon Tiki from Peru to French Polynesia, which is relatively near the Marquesas.

Paths and Timings of the Peopling of Polynesia from Genomic Networks

On another trip, while visiting Easter Island, Heyerdahl found depictions of what appear to be reed boats with masts and sails. The one pictured below is carved on the stomach of a moai.



So it seems plausible that there were a significant amount of ocean voyages, not only for exploration and colonization, but also for trade and commerce. 

The trade networks were most established along the pacific coast, ranging from South and Central America up through Mexico and possibly to California. 

Voyagers traveling north along Mexico's Pacific coastline, would eventually sail into the Sea of Cortez (or Gulf of California) where the Colorado River empties into the sea.  From the Colorado River delta, smaller craft, such as canoes could travel north along the Colorado, and head east along the Gila River from where it flows into the Colorado.

The Gila River crosses through Arizona and continues through New Mexico. The headwaters of the Gila would be only 35 to 75 miles overland from the current possible locations of the cave, which has yet to be determined exactly.



Therefore, traders following this route, or sculptors  from the Marquesas could reach the cave in New Mexico. The sculpted figures could have been a trade item, or Marquesan sculptors could have carved them on location. 

If the cave, together with the sculptures, can be relocated and thoroughly analyzed, many elements of this mystery could be determined, such as:

Is the stone local, or of Marquesan Origins? Perhaps dating by Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) could place the time period the images were placed in the cave.

Other methods, such as Uranium-Thorium dating may determine the age or time of creation. 



It is also notable that the cave in New Mexico seems to have other carvings and symbols on the walls and surfaces that may have archaeological importance. The cave should be subject to a comprehensive search, using metal-detecting equipment, fluoroscopes and UV scanning devices, among other techniques.



(Note the cave surface on the left has a hand carved in bas-relief that resembles the hand of a tiki placed on the abdomen of a figure. Perhaps it is a part of a larger sculpture.)

In the future, there may be an expedition to re-locate the cave and a real-time documentary film produced. Follow Sharon Day on this blog and also on Facebook for more developments!

Below is the original photo - 


Even the interior of the cave looks worked by chisel, as well, showing a carved ledge. As the two did not go further into the cave and had to get Don immediately to a hospital, there is no telling what all the cave was used for and by whom. It is hoped with more details of the location, this can be discovered as one of the most vital ancient finds in America.

Modern Day Dinosaur Sightings

We have assumed dinosaurs are long gone, but a climate that is ideal for such creatures still exists in the Western US and a meat-eater would have no issue running around our deserts and finding kills. 

Is it possible that dinos could be running under the radar today? The answer is - YES!

Bigfoot Eye Shine Photo

 


ORIGINAL PHOTO

A Georgia woman contacted researcher Keith Bearden about Bigfoots sleeping in her barn. She sent him this photo of eyeshine. 


CROPPED ON GLOWING EYES

When Keith showed up, it didn't have a vibe of being watched, but over time something heavy and bipedal was lurking around, snapping twigs. The horses shifted and seemed uneasy. The energy from this was not like the usual pleasant encounters Keith has had. This felt a bit sinister. 

The eyeshine was extraodinary, but the thing that really caught my eye was the orb in the lower left. See the very first picture in the post - the complete photo. In the lower left is a yellowish white orb. 

I usually ignore orbs, but BF are associated with odd lights in the forest and this particular orb was behind a tree limb and so not a particle being lit close to the lens.

Mesa Arizona Hauntings



I have an ongoing study of the City of Mesa and unusual ghostly findings that may have ancient roots.


Ancient HoHoKam canals map

I kept getting people from the city of Mesa, Arizona complaining about ghostly issues that seemed to repeat themselves in description by many people.

I looked around at the geology and found nothing of significance or in the history of the town, except if you go back to ancient times and a missing tribe called the HoHoKam whose canal system fed from this area.

As well, upon visiting one of their mounds in Mesa behind the hospital off of Country Club Road, I learned that many neighbors around that mound area have these same haunting issues on a larger scale.


In my studies of the characteristics of haunted locations, ancient sites, mining geology, and waterways are significant.

I've had a substantial reporting for several years. Anyone with more to add, please let me know at ghosthuntingtheories@gmail.com or comment anonymously below -

People in the area report:

Voices
Knocking
Doors opening and closing
Apparitions
Feelings of being watched/doom/uncomfortable
Shadow people
Objects being thrown
Pets acting strangely

I am going to give some regions of the town I've heard from just from that post alone:

University west of the 101: (talking, footsteps, heavy sensation)

Country Club, North of 8th Ave: (report of haunting)

University and Gilbert: (footsteps, shuffling sounds, voices, uneasy heavy feeling, cat and child reported but not living there)

West of Ellsworth between McDowell and McKellips: (seeing things in windows, voices)

Main and Extension: (heavy feelings, unsettling)

East of Country Club, South of Brown: (small child, growls, cabinet opening, mists, crying, screaming, shadow figures, eerie feelings)

Country Club, south of Broadway: (talking, touching, shadow person, apparitions)

South of Main, West of Extension: (uneasy feelings, apparitions, sounds, voices)

East of Mesa Dr., North of University: (voices, uncomfortable feelings)

Stapley and Brown: footsteps, apparitions, blinds moving, physical touching, electrical issues.

Broadway and 2nd Ave: Apartments reportedly haunted

North of Southern, West of Gilbert: (Being touched, poked, feeling uneasy)

South of McDowell, West of Usery Pass: (People seen in windows when house is empty, voices)

University, west of Stapley: (Believed to be child ghost playing tricks on office workers, female apparition, believed to be 1920s era)

East of Extension, North of 8th Ave: (pots and pans falling, man breathing, footsteps, doors opening and closing)

Country Club and McKellips: (sounds in closet, male apparition seen by child, doors opening, toys moving)

University, East of Ellsworth: (someone reporting a haunting)

Country Club and Guadalupe: (balls of light, feeling of being watched, objects moving, tapping on window, scratching on walls, child reporting apparition, electrical turning on and off, adult saw apparition of boy in overalls)

First Avenue, East of Mesa Dr.: (report of tunnels under the old downtown area from the Mormon Temple and outward)

Aspen Ave. off Jefferson Park: (cats watching things that aren't there)

Gilbert and University: (footsteps, being watched, being pushed, someone turning doorknob, animal seeing things not there, closets opening and closing)

East of Center Street, north of the consolidated canal: (hearing voices)

Val Vista and University: (child apparition)

South of Brown and East of Country Club Dr.: Apparently possessed by a demon.

I'm looking for characteristics that might explain an entire city having issues with haunting more than the usual. I'm all about commonalities and repeatability.

Skinwalker Ranch: Frequency: Interdimensional? Heaven?

 



The 1.6 GHz signals had me pondering some things about Skinwalker Ranch. One is that when I was ghost investigating, I once had a long back and forth "conversation" with my EMF meter until I realized it was going on and off with the air-conditioner and when the air-conditioner wasn't running, it wasn't answering.
