Secret Underground Tunnels Past & Present:
The Meso-American Connection

***Tunnelmania***

Over the past few years stories and rumors about government underground tunnels, bases and cities have dominated much of the talk and energy of those of us seeking the truth about things our government and others seem to work very hard to keep secret.

Probably Richard Sauder presented the best research into these matters in his well written book Underground Bases and Tunnels: What is the Government Trying to Hide? (1993). This book is a must read for anyone interested in the subject.

However, each time I read something on these underground activities one question keeps coming to my mind. Why aren?t these modern researchers looking at the connections between today?s top-secret goings on and the tunnels that have existed inside our earth since before written history? Many of today?s reported underground activities seem to be centered around some of the same areas that ancient excavations are known to be located. For instance, in and around White Sands New Mexico and the ?Four Corners? area of the country. Before we go too far into this aspect of the mystery we?ll have to study a little of the true history of the Americas.

***A Historical Perspective***

Containment of the population is the important ingredient in total control. It is natural for people to migrate to new lands seeking a better life for their families. Unfortunately, for those who would control us this natural migration delays the master plan of a One World Order. This is well known by the elitist and for centuries, through their control of the top echelon in secret societies, education and religious sects they were able to keep the true makeup of our earth a secret from the common men and women.

In early times this was accomplished by leading the masses into believing that the earth was flat. They warned that if anyone tried to leave the known world they would fall off the edge, or worst yet ? meet up with horrible monsters that would maul them and eat them. Prior to 1492 the secret societies and financial controllers of the Old World had no trouble hiding the truth about the true makeup of our planet. Two things changed all that. The Queen of Spain was greedy. And Christopher Columbus had the gift of gab. Columbus talked Isabelle into defying the other elitist and financing a trip to explore the secret lands and return with tons of wealth. With the so-called ?discovery of the New World? the keepers of the secrets had a lot of problems. One being the civilized people of the Americas knew and understood about the Inner lands and its inhabitants, our Co-Planetarians. The cover-up (no pun intended) started right away.

***The Book Burners***

The first people allowed into the new word were religious teachers. Under the guise of converting the heathens to Christianity, groups such as the Jesuits main objective was to destroy any records, books etc. they located. The excuse was to rid the savages of their superstitions and belief in ?false gods.? One of the first big lies in the conspiracy is still believed by many of us today. We have been taught to believe that the Meso-Americans, the first Americans, had no books. No written records of they?re history and accomplishments. This is simply not true.

In Ancient America, in Notes of America Archeology (1872) by John H. Baldwin, A.M., he wrote:

?If a conservative history of the ancient people of Central America and Mexico were ever written, it has been lost ? The ruins show that they had the art of writing ? the inscriptions of Palenque and the characters used in some of the manuscript books that have been preserved are not the same as the Mexican Picture Writing ? though they had no writing like ours they had their symbols and characters through which they understood everything; and they had great books, which were composed with such ingenuity and art that our characters were really of no assistance to them. Our Priests have seen these books and I myself have seen them likewise ? books such as these ? must have contained important information. The older books belonging to the age of Copan and Paling went to decay doubtless long previous to this time. The later books, not otherwise lost, were destroyed by Aztec and Spanish vandalism.?

Mr. Baldwin continues;

? ? The Aztec or Mexican sovereign Ytzcoatl destroyed many of the old Toltec books. His aim was probably to exterminate among the people all memory of the previous times ? We learn from Spanish writers that a still greater destruction of the old books was effected by the more ignorant and fanatical of the Spanish priest who were established in the country as missionaries after the conquest ? there is record of a great conflagration, under the asepses of Bishop Zumarraga, in which a vast collection of these writings was consumed. As the writing was all of paper (which had long been used in the country) the burning was easily accomplished ? the Franciscan and Dominican fanatics, whose learning and religion consisted of ignorance and bigotry, hoped to exterminate among the people all recollection of their former history, ideas and religious customs."? (Pages 188, 189).

Very few of these books were saved. However I found a passage in The Civilization of Ancient Mexico (1912) by Lewis Spence to be very thought provoking to say the least. Mr. Spence reports that in the Vatican there is a book that was brought from Mexico ? ?Manuscript No. 3773, is a species of religious handbook, representing the journey after death through the underground.? (Page 21) Out of all of the books put to torch by the Christian Priests why was this book about the Ancient American?s beliefs concerning the Inner World brought safely back to the Vatican? Next time you?re in Rome ask the Pope.

But it isn?t all gloom and doom. In Mr. Baldwin?s already quoted book Ancient America I found a passage that could be viewed as a ray of hope.

?Humbolt mentions books of hieroglyphic writing found among the Panoes on the River Ucayali, [in Peru] which were ?bundles of their paper resembling our volumes of the quarto. A Franciscan missionary found an old man sitting at the foot of a palm-tree and reading one of the books to several young persons. The Franciscan was told that the writing ?contained hidden things which no stranger ought to know.?? (Pages 255, 256)

Hopefully these books were hidden away somewhere. Possibly in an underground vault? At any rate, while destroying any possible written information that would help us in our quest for the truth, the keepers-of-the-secrets still had a big problem. Oral History. We?ll return to this thought later on in this report.

***More Historical Dis-Information***

Another false piece of ?history? being taught in our controlled school systems today is the is that all of the ?wild? Indians of North America, and if fact the peoples of Mexico, Central and South America, arrived here by crossing ?a land bridge? which connected Asia with Alaska across the Bering Straight following the last ice age. The theory being that all the people found in the extended NAFTA area of the globe (as envisioned by our friends over at the Trilateral Commission) migrated across this land bridge.

As Paul Harvey would say, But now, for the rest of the story.

A couple of interesting statements found in the already quoted 1912 scholastic work The Civilization of Ancient Mexico by Lewis Spence;

?The area covered by the ancient Nahuan or Mexican race, both in its fluctuant and settled conditions, extended in its utmost limits from British Columbia in the North to Costa Rica in the south?? (Page 2).

?But the most important aboriginal population of Mexico was that of the Otomi, who still occupy the plateau of the Guanajuato and Queretaro, and who, after the advent of the Naphua races, probably peopled the entire Mexican plateau. Their language is of the type known as ?incorporative? that is, one word embraces several, and appears to have some affinity to the Athapascan Dialect of British North America? (Page 4)

So far so good. These statements seem to support a migration of the ancient people of Mexico from the north. ? Until you read this curious statement further into his report.

?The Totonacs and Chontals were in all likelihood allied to tribes dwelling to the south-east of the Yucatan peninsula who spoke a similar language, and their migration to the lands they occupied was possible effected from South to North by way of the Mexican Gulf.? (Page 4)

As Vincent H. Gaddis wrote in his book Native American Myths & Mysteries revised (1991);

?Migration by the Bering Sea Strait (or land bridge during glaciation periods when sea levels were lower) has been a theoretical scared cow to many anthropologists, but it does not explain the origin of all native people in America ? As for the Bering Straits migrants eventually reaching the far destination of Tierra del Fuego, what has their incentive? There was no population pressure. About the time Columbus arrived on the scene, it is estimated there were 15 million people living in the Americas, with about one million or less in what is now the United States and Southern Canada. During the last glaciation there was an ice-free area just of the east of the Rocky Mountains and other areas to the south. At worst, ice age man would have had to go no further than modern Mexico.

?Nevertheless, the oldest and most advanced civilizations were in South America. [In fact the further south you go the more elaborate the ruins of these ancient people. DGC.] A vast antiquity here is evident in the ruins under lave flows and at Lake Titicaca. Here the mysteries of countless ages await the study of skilled minds, and Latin American scientists who have led in the research are appalled at their own ignorance. And the trail of the totems is northward.? (Page 7)

Is it possible that some people migrated from the South to the North? John Baldwin in Ancient America explored just such an unorthodox view.

Mr. Baldwin wrote;

?One of the most learned writers on American antiquities, a Frenchman, speaking of discoveries in Peru, exclaims, ?America is to be again discovered! We must remove the veil in which Spanish politics has sought to bury its ancient civilization.? (Page 13)

?Remains of ancient civilizations, differing to some extent in degrees and character, are found in three great sections of the America continent; the west side of South America, between Chili and the first or second degree of latitude; Central America and Mexico; and the valleys of the Mississippi and the Ohio. These regions have all been explored to some extent ? not completely, but sufficiently to show the significance and importance if their archaeological remains, most of which were already mysterious antiquities when the continent was discovered by Columbus.? (Page 14)

Mr. Baldwin tells us;

?An Ancient and unknown people left remains of settled life, and of a certain degree of civilization, in the valleys of the Mississippi and its tributaries. We have no authentic name for them either as a nation or as a race; therefore they are know as ?Mound Builders,? this name having been suggested by an important class of their works.? (Page 17)

***America?s Ancient People***

According to research by Robert Silverburg as reported by him in his 1978

book on the subject, The Mound Builders, there were tens of thousands of different sized mounds across the eastern half of North America, and ?each [new American] townsite had its mounds, and generally each town had its antiquarian who studied them before they were swept away by progress.? (Page 24).

Baldwin?s description of the ancient mounds comes from first hand knowledge. Many were still prevalent around the North American countryside in 1872 when he published his unprecedented historical research book, Ancient America;

?Prominent among the remains by which we know that such people once inhabited that region are artificial mounds constructed with intelligence and great labor. Most of them are usually square or rectangular, but some times hexagonal or octagonal, and the higher mounds appear to have been constructed with winding staircases on the outside leading to their summits? (Page 10)

Baldwin concludes;

?I find it most reasonable to believe that the mounds found in this part of the continent were used precisely as similar structures were used in Mexico and Central America. The lower mounds, or most of them, must have been constructed as foundations of the more important edifices of the mound-building people. Many of the great buildings erected on such pyramidal foundations, at Palengue, Uxmal and elsewhere in the region, have not disappeared, because they were built of hewn stone laid in mortar. For reasons not difficult to understand, the mound builders, beginning their works on the lower Mississippi constructing such edifices of wood or some other perishable material; therefore no trace of them remains. The higher mounds with broad, flat summits, reached by flights of stairs on the outside, are like the Mexican teocallis, or temples. In Mexico and Central America these structures were very numerous. They are described as solid pyramidal masses of earth, cased with brick and stone, level at the top, and furnished with ascending ranges of steps on the outside. The resemblance is striking, and the most reasonable explanation seems to be that in both regions mounds of this class were intended for the same used.? (Page 18-19)

Mr. Baldwin continues to provide convincing evidence that the ancient people in North America had common ties with their brothers in the south. One of the most convincing connections is in the design in Adams County Ohio known as The Great Serpent Mound. Mr. Baldwin explains:

?No symbolic device is more common among the antiquities of Mexico and Central America than is more common among the antiquities of Mexico and Central America than the form of the serpent, and it was sometimes reproduced in part in architectural constructions. One of the old books giving account of a temple dedicated to Quetzalcohuatl says, ?It was circular in form, and the entrance represented the mouth of a serpent, opening in a frightful manner, and extremely terrifying to those who approached it for the first time.? (Page 28)

I could not have described the Great Serpent Mound of Adams County Ohio any better. What do you think?

Baldwin?s 300-page book presents good hard evidence that not only was there a migration from the north, but that an entirely different group of people came from the south. And he isn?t the only authority that felt that way in the days before the controllers took control over what was to be accepted history and science. Robert Silverburg tells us of another respected researcher of the time.

[A] ?Brilliant analysis of the mounds was produced ? by Albert Gallatin (1761-1849), the Swiss-born economist who was Thomas Jefferson?s Secretary of the Treasury. After a long career in public office, Gallatin had become a banker in 1827 and in his later years concerned himself largely with the study of American Indians. In 1836 he published an important work on the Indians, and six years later he founded and became the first president of the American Ethnological Society. His final contribution to his chosen science was a pioneering essay on American languages, published in 1848, when he was 87 years old.

?The large flat-topped mounds of which the Cahokia Mound near East St. Louis, Illinois was then the best known example.? struck Gallatin as having ?a strong family likeness to the Mexican pyramids.? The earthen ramparts and embankments of Ohio puzzled him though, for they were unlike any fortifications constructed by existing Indian tribes. This led him to suggest that they were the work of a race different from contemporary Indians, perhaps Influenced by the great civilizations of Mexico.

? ? Gallatin did not think that the mound builders had migrated south to Mexico to create those great civilizations. Instead, he felt that Mexican ideas must have drifted northward and been adopted by the people of the Mississippi valley.? (Pages 40-41).

As Baldwin tells us in our major reference book for this portion of our

research:

?It has sometimes been assumed that the Aztecs came to Mexico from the north, but there is nothing to warrant this assumption, nothing to make it probable, nothing even to explain the fact that some persons have entertained it. People of the ancient Mexico and Central American races are not found further north than New Mexico and Arizona, where they are known as Pueblos or Village Indians. In the old days there was a frontier region, and the Pueblos seem to represent ancient settlers who went there from the south. In fact, no people really like our wild Indians of North America have ever been found in Mexico, Central America, or South America. (Pages 217-218).

The findings of these well respected researchers seems to strongly indicate that, as I seem to find time after time in my own research, that we?re not being made privy to the full truth. So far in this research report I?ve presented a magnitude of evidence supporting a migration of some of Americas ancient people from south to north. If this is so, the next obvious question is: ?From where in the south did these people originate??

***The Native American and His-Story***

The undisputed truth of history is that in the far southern areas of the Americas, not only were the books destroyed, but also the people were massacred. But the controllers still had a problem. A big problem. The ruins were too massive to destroy. They stand today as a silent monument to hidden truths. In the north they had no such problem, most of the easily destroyed mounds were plowed under or concreted over. However, as hard as they tried they were not able to wipe out the ?savages? and the secrets they knew. This brings us back to the oral history of these true Americans.

The controllers, after failing in the genocide of the red man, next tried to destroy their tight family ties. First by removing them from their traditional lands and placing them on the worst land in the country, then by flooding the reservations with booze. And finally by enticing the young to become part of the ?white mans? system. This was all done to try and remove the ancient oral knowledge from being passed on from old to young as it had since time began for these people. In far too many cases it?s worked. But thanks to a few brave historians, much of the tribal knowledge has been preserved. Of course the ?establishment? would have us believe that this oral history is nothing more than myths and fables. But one thing doesn?t wash. I personally find it hard to believe that generations of people worked so hard to preserve fiction ? especially people, who historically have proven that they hold such a high regard for the truth.

***Descendents of Subterranean Dwellers? ***

In legends & Lore of the American Indians (1993) edited by Terri Harden we find;

? ? Several tribes claim to have emerged from the interior of the earth. The Oneidas point to a hill near the falls of Oswego River, N.Y. as their birthplace; the Witchitas rose from the rocks around Red River; the Creeks from a knoll in the valley of Big Black River in the Natchez area, where dwelt the Master of Breath; the Aztecs were one of seven tribes that came out from the seven caverns of Aztlan ? and the Navajos believe that they emerged at a place known to them in the Navajo Mountains.? (Page 299)

On page 152 we find that ?the Mandan tribes of the Sioux suppose that their nation lived in a subterranean village near a vast lake.? The Zuni believe that, ?in the old days all men lived in caves in the center of the earth. There were four caves, one over the other. Men first lived in the lowest cave. It was dark. There was no light, and the cave was crowded. All men were full of sorrow.? (Page 268). Through several misadventures they finally reached the exterior of the earth.

According to the Pawnee story of creation,

?All living things were under the ground in confusion and asked one another what each was; but one day as the mole was digging around, he broke a hole through, so that the light steamed in, and he drew back frightened. He has never had any eyes since; the light put them out. The mole did not want to come out, but all the others came out on to the earth through the hole the mole had made.? (Page 123).

Another good source of this ancient knowledge is Native American Legends (1987) compiled and edited by George E. Lankford. On page 113 he tells us;

?What Chekilli, the head chief of the lower and upper Creeks [Indian tribes] said in a talk held in Savannah [Georgia] in 1735, and which was handed over by the interpreter ? word for word, as follows: ?At a certain time the earth opened in the west, where it?s mouth is. The earth opened and the Kasihtas [Creeks] came out ???

And on and on, tribe after tribe. Stories of their ancient ancestors emerging from subterranean lands in one way or the other seems to be a common one. Could these separate histories, which all jell into the same fact, be true?

Could some of the ancient Americans actually have come from under the ground we walk on? We?ll pursue this further in my next report.
