Pilauco

This volume combines 10 years of accomplished research at the Pilauco site. The studies are focused on a variety of scientific areas including geological, sedimentological, geomorphological and paleobotanical topics, as well as paleontology of vertebrata and invertebrata, micropaleontology, archaeology, biochemistry, taxonomy, taphonomy, astrophysics and the development of some particular touristic aspects. In 18 chapters a variety of authors describe the excavation and investigation of this unique location. The book presents Pilauco as an example for the natural laboratory which can be found in South America, a testing ground for many of the hypotheses regarding migrations of animals and humans. In this context the study of topics, such as the paleozoography, the role of megafauna species for the architecture of the forests, the animal extinctions or the early human settlements, is extremely important on a global scale. The Pilauco site features paleontological and archaeological evidences and is contemporaneous with the Monte Verde site (~ 15,000 cal. yr AP). It is located 100 km north from Monte Verde and lies within the Intermediate Depression in northwestern Chilean Patagonia. It was discovered by chance in 1986 and has been excavated and investigated since 2007.

Introducing an incredible and elegant link from the past—a global link as integral to our journey today as it was thousands of years ago! This is a link through an ancient unit of measurement, used at sacred sites to unify within ourselves Heaven and Earth, along with time and space. And it is a symbolic message of meaning and hope that has been left for all of us.

There is much of human history which we don’t know due to lost records, the oceans covering our ancestor’s cities, natural disasters, and reasons we don’t know. There are also many anomalies which have been found showing ruins and objects from the far past which should not exist. Some of the Historical Facts this book is based on: Plato said that Atlantis was destroyed 9,000 years before his time in Greece. Plato lived in 433 B.C. which would have meant Atlantis was destroyed 9,433 years B.C. or 11,433 years before the current age. The Younger Dryas Period in History was between roughly 12,900 and 11,600 years ago according to paleontologists and archeologists. Many researchers think this period of climate change resulted from comets hitting the Earth at this time. The Vulture Stone at Gobekli Tepe which some scientists have interpreted as having a record of comets hitting the Earth about 11,000 B.C. My study on ancient history has led me to write a number of books on the topic which can be found on my website at this link: https://mkettingtonbooks.com/ancient-history.html The above facts and all of my research has led me to conclude that there were ancient world spanning civilizations which existed and were destroyed on the Earth in the 9,000 B.C. to 11,000 B.C period. There may have been earlier civilizations too, but the focus of this book is on that time period. The following chapters review some of the evidence of these ancient civilizations which existed at these same very ancient times.

'AWARD-WINNING BOOK' Silver medal - Readers' Favorite International Book Award Contest and 5 Stars Book Reviews' ‘Literary Titan Gold Book Award and 5 Stars Book Reviews’ ‘Amazon Best Seller #1 History of the Middle East and #2 Ancient Early Civilization History’ Comprehensive Study of the Origin of Humankind is not a textbook or conventional science book since the evidence that was discovered during this research does not agree with many of the precepts approved by orthodox science. The topic covered in this book is not considered in scientific or academic institutions because most of the Mesopotamian texts were labeled as mythology. Moreover, our ancient history is under a veil of unknowns and misunderstandings. The language and organization of the book were intended to make it easy for all readers, regardless of educational level, to follow and understand the story. The book deals with the arrival of the Anunnaki on Earth and the consequences of their mission. The detailed history in chronological order of everything that happened is presented according to our findings in the Mesopotamian texts and other ancient sources. It covers all the events from the formation of the Solar System and the arrival of the Anunnaki to the time of Alexander the Great. The fact that some of the stories in the Genesis account were already written in Mesopotamian texts thousands of years earlier prompted the evaluation of the most relevant texts. As we know Genesis is the only book in the Bible that deals with the origin of humanity, some verses were included to show the parallelism that exists with the Mesopotamian texts. The extraordinary similarity in terms of content and the dates on which the events occurred between both sources were evaluated and demonstrated through statistical analysis. Analysis of scholarly translations of the Mesopotamian texts and ancient books revealed that many key details that are critical to understanding the story have thus far not been revealed as they happened. In addition, some texts contain metaphors whose message has not been properly determined. The research was supplemented by many sources, including the analysis of apocryphal books, reports from ancient historians, scientific research, and archaeological records. The extensive analysis and inquisitive reading of the contents in search of clues, provided the necessary knowledge to determine the most probable dates in which all the great events of human history occurred. At the end of this investigation, we concluded that the results and findings deserve to be known due to the high probability that the stories contained in the Mesopotamian texts really happened. This research has provided the answer to hitherto unanswered riddles, it is a revelation of who, how, when, and why these events occurred in ancient times.

This open access book applies a social ecological systems (SES) lens to conservation-based development in Patagonia, bringing together authors with historical, contemporary, and future-oriented perspectives in order to increase understanding of the social and environmental implications of nature-based tourism and other forms of conservation-based territorial development. By focusing on Patagonia (as a region) and its various forms of conservation-based development, this book contributes one of the first collections of South American based lessons and will be valuable to researchers and practitioners, both locally and around the world, seeking to better understand complex interconnections between social and ecological environments, and pursue a similar path to resilience and sustainability.

South America is a vast, relatively isolated, landmass that includes 12 independent countries and one region (Guyane Française) with diverse ethnic groups speaking hundreds of different languages and dialects, and extraordinary creativity. Indigenous people have occupied its different habitats while transforming the landscape and themselves, with extraordinary dedication and success. This dictionary opens a window to these peoples through many entries, in an integrated approach that allows to connect the multiple facets of indigenous life before 1492. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Ancient South America contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and the culture of ancient South America. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about ancient South America.
