Artist impression of an Animiki' by Russell M. Hossain. The Thunder People' s possible origin as pronounced Denisovan hybrids is reflected in the figure' s archaic features and greater height, as well as the cold mountainous terrain seen in the background (pic copyright: Russell M. Hossain, 2018).

Denisovan Hybrids, Shamanism and the American Genesis


by Andrew Collins

Algonquian language-speaking groups of the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River region of North America preserve traditions regarding the Animiki', generally translated into English as "thunderbird," "thunderers" or "thunder people." Primarily these are sky manitous (spirits), who bring forth lightning, thunder and rain storms. However, separate traditions held by these peoples talk about the Animiki' being shape-shifting giants birds that can assume human form by removing their "feather blankets," and even have mortal families. The author proposes that earthly Animiki' are a memory of Denisovan and arguably Denisovan-Neanderthal-modern human groups that thrived in parts of North America through until the first millennia BC, when they became the extremely tall ruling elites and shamans of the Adena mound- building culture (the so-called "Adena elite" theory). Knowledge that modern Algonquian language-speaking populations such as the Ojibwa and Cree likely possess Denisovan ancestry, while the Denisovans themselves are now thought to have been of large stature, adds weight to these suggestions.

In 2014 Andrew Collins exclusively proposed that the American giant skeletons found in Native American mounds were very likely Denisovan human hybrids.

In the ground-breaking book Path of Souls by Dr Greg Little, published in June 2014, Andrew Collins contributed a section proposing that the giant skeletons reportedly found across the United States over the past 200 years are the remains of human hybrids of extreme height. They are, he believes, an admixture of two types of ancient hominins - most likely Homo sapiens and Denisovans, a new type of archaic human identified for the first time from DNA evidence derived from human fossil remains over 40,000 years old found at the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of northern Siberia.

At the Tabby’s Star Poker Game - Who’s Bluffing?

A Report by Andrew Collins

Wednesday, 30 August 2017. This week various new papers have appeared concerning Tabby's Star (KIC 8462852). Find out what's happening in connection with the star, and where this leaves us regarding the cause of its short-termk and long-term light dimming episodes.



KIC 8462852 - Windows of Opportunity: Cyclic Periodicities, Light Dimming Episodes and the Star's 0.88-day Rotational Period

A new study by science and history writer Andrew Collins and engineer Rodney Hale

KIC8462862, an F-type main sequence star in the constellation of Cygnus, experienced strange light dimming episodes during the initial Kepler mission between 2009 and 2013. These continue with further events in 2017. The authors use Kepler and post-Kepler data to create folding plotsto examine the relationship between the star's reported 0.88-day rotational period and suspected periodicities noted in connection with the light dimming episodes. This reveals anew possible periodicity of 9.68 days (11 stellar rotations). Confirmation of a mathematical relationship between suspected periodicities and the star's rotational period would begin to eliminate some of the proposed explanations for the star's strange fluctuations in light, while at the same time bringing to the fore other possible theories to account for both the short term and long-term dimming events.

KIC 8462852- The Incredible Story of Tabby's Star and the Growing Mystery of its Cyclic Light Patterns

By Andrew Collins and Rodney Hale

FULLY UPDATED WITH NEW ILLUSTRATIONS

 

Andrew Collins and British chartered engineer Rodney Hale have worked together to determine the physical modelling of the occulting objects respionsible for the massive light dips reported during the Kepler mission in connection with KIC 8462862, an F-type main sequence star in the constellation of Cygnus. They determine their line of sight profile, and through this their nature and appearance. The Kepler data for KIC 8462852 is also re-examined to better understand the 0.88-day and 48.4-day periodicities noted in connection with the star. These reveal cyclic patterns suggesting that the prediction of future light dipping episodes might be possible, as well as recurring number sequences that contain mathematical patterns that highlight the number 11 and synchronize with the earth's own calendar cycle in a unique manner. Collins and Hale speculate that these mathematical patterns could be what French astronomer Luc Arnold in a paper published in 2005 called attention-grabbing signals deriving from an extraterrestrial intelligence.

Here the paper by Andrew Collins and Rodney Hale talked about on the latest video update on KIC 8462852 by science fiction writer John Michael Godier uploaded on June 6, 2017.

 

The paper and its findings feature in John Michael Godier's video update on the star for June 06, 2017. On the matter he says:

"I must admit I hope it is just coincidence because this would imply that an alien civilization over 1,300 light years away knows that Earth is habitable, has the right atmosphere in the mix for intelligent life to develop, have calculated our orbit, and are sending a visual message to us just in case we're here. I guess that's not all that different from the idea of an alien civilization beaming a radio signal towards us, one of the things that SETI searches for. And I really think it's just the star rotating and its all coincidence, but its interesting nonetheless, and a bit creepy. What a weird star."

Göbekli Tepe's Pillar 43. Does it show a comet impact or the journey of the soul?


GÖBEKLI TEPE'S PILLAR 43:
AN ASTRONOMICAL INTERPRETATION

Andrew Collins and Rodney Hale

No feature at Göbekli Tepe has aroused more interest than Enclosure D's Pillar 43, popularly known as the "Vulture Stone." Just recently it has become the focus of worldwide attention with claims in a peer-reviewed paper that its relief imagery is a detailed snapshot of the night sky on the day in 10,950 BCE when the earth was devastated by a comet impact. Although finding favour among science journalists, these ideas have received a cold reception from the archaeological team responsible for excavations at the site. So what is really being conveyed by the pillar's compelling imagery, created as much as 11,500 years ago? Does it really show the moment of a comet impact, or could there be a far more realistic solution to this baffling mystery?

Ancient mysteries writer Andrew Collins and chartered engineer Rodney Hale take a fresh look at this subject, realising the key to understanding Pillar 43's astronomical nature is the ball over the left wing of the principal vulture among the carved relief. Almost certainly it represents the northern celestial pole, long seen in shamanic tradition as the "hole in the sky" through which human souls could access the Upper World. With this knowledge, it becomes clear that the pillar's carved relief is a multi-layered signboard created to aid the soul's journey from its physical environment to the land of the dead.

Have Andrew Collins and Rodney Hale finally found the key to unravelling this enigma?

GÖBEKLI TEPE'S VULTURE STONE: A WARNING ACROSS TIME OR SIGNPOST TO THE LAND OF THE DEAD?

SOME ASTRONOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS AT GÖBEKLI TEPE

 

By Andrew Collins

 

A new theory claims that Göbekli Tepe's Vulture Stone (Pillar 43) is a snapshot of the sky in 10,950 BC showing the date and time of a comet impact. It interprets the stone's prominent carving of a vulture as the constellation Sagittarius, something championed by Graham Hancock in Magicians of the Gods. As this article is written by academics and published in a scholarly journal its sensationalist and somewhat far-fetched claims have been picked up on by the international media, and even The New Scientist" magazine. Yet are they correct? Is it even right to interpret the imagery in this way? In this new article Andrew Collins puts into perspective what we know about the carved imagery of Göbekli Tepe's Pillar 43, showing that it more likely relates to early Neolithic beliefs and practices concerning the soul's journey from the earthly plane to the sky-world - a view held also by leading archaeologists working at the site.
