CONTINENT SAME SIZE AS AUSTRALIA

The Archean craton found in the Transantarctic Mountains, which divides the East Antarctic Shield from the Mawson craton that encompasses the continental interior and other marginal cratons exposed along the coast, has connections to Australia and India's geological structures. Other formations have been found in the seafloor basins along the South Sea. Professor Talmar, a senior geophysicist of the University of Barrington's Planetary Department and cosponsor of the theory, said that, “We can see how and when all these pieces came together to create this new Archean continent and as we speculate it this has become a matter of heated debate.” By combining the most recent satellite data with the ASTER Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IfSAR), a radar technique used in geodesy and remote sensing, this geodetic method using nine synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images generated maps of surface deformation or digital elevation using the Archean craton references.

The end result was the first glimpse of the 4 billion year old Archean continent, revealing a suggestion of mountain ranges, inland seas and other familiar modern features locked in the shape of a dual landmass the size of Australia. Scientists at the Kensington University have published four studies on a model of rock radioactivity over billions of years which found that the Earth's continental crust may have been thicker, much earlier than current models suggest, with continents possibly present as far back as four billion years. "We use this model to understand the evolving processes from early Earth to the present, and suggest that the survival of the early crust was dependent on the amount of radioactivity in the rocks -- not random chance," says Dr Derrick Hasterok, from the University of Adelaide's Department of Earth Sciences and Mawson Center for Geoscience. "If our model proves to be correct, it may require revision to many aspects of our understanding of the Earth's chemical and physical evolution, including the rate of growth of the continents and possibly even the onset of plate tectonics." Plate tectonics is the engine that drives our planet. It forges volcanoes, fuels atmospheres, digs out ocean basins and creates mountain ranges. We can’t understand Earth’s entire evolution if we can’t complete the puzzle, and the data from the dead satellite has just helped discover a few more of its missing pieces.

A CONTINENT OF HORRORS

On mentioning the fossil remains found on the frozen gorge of the Thiel Mountain's East Antarctica cratons, containing the oldest rocks aside the same craton on Australia, scientists are calling the find 'startling' and the monstrous life forms uncovered only being described as 'nightmarish'. Earlier this year, American scientists discovered several large collections of unknown fossils in rocks on the cliffs of the Bermel Escarpment near the Thiel Mountains in Western Antarctica, where "arthropods, corals, worms, invertebrates, anomalocaridids, sauropsida, caryophyllales and hundreds of mysterious and unidentified plant species with unexplained whips, appendages and tubercles that were buried in the ancient watery environment and then preserved in mud and silt" were found, according to the initial reports. Fossils newly discovered in the Thiel Mountains in the Bermel Escarpment have been dated from the Archean Period and may prove once authenticated that life existed far later than science has suggested. These unclassified animal fossil specimens measure some nine meters in length. Several archaeological researchers have begun the laborious task of excavating and cataloging the vast find. Because of the remote location and lack of access to main south pole facilities manned by countries as Russia, Brazil and other European countries, a small airstrip and one Hercules C-130 have been used as field bases while supplies are transported in. Researchers noted while several are similar to prehistoric animals familiar from the Jurassic and Cretaceous epochs and before, the majority of the finds are new to our species classifications, and in some cases, the scientists remarked, were more advanced evolutionarily in surprising samples of gigantism and bio-mechanical structure. The excavated collections were said to average from 2 meters in length to 22 meters, showing animals with the variety of sizes and diversity of land walkers, sea swimmers and flying animals, of Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs, but with animals belonging to the Archean Period. Support aircraft with teams from around the world arrive at the Thiel airstrip. Professor Marin Langguth, a paleontologist with research interest in what is being called the "Archean Explosion" at the University of Staffordshire in England suggested naming such Archean animals by the newer science designation "taravermis'. The "tara", originating from the Greek work for Hell, "tartarus", and "vermis', coming from the Latin word for worm. Sir Richard Owen suggested the name dinosaur in 1841 to describe the fossils of extinct prehistoric reptiles by combining the Greek words “deinos”, which means terrible, and “sauros”, which means lizard. Additional researchers will be traveling to Antarctica during summer season to study the new Bermel discoveries and uncover what they can discover about this new explosion of lifeforms in a time once thought to be dominated by the molten crusts, new landmasses and microscopic organisms of the Archean Period.

BOOK OF GATES

Professor Kiel notes the Book of Gates and Jebidiah Smith mentions an Archean continent called Yidath, that according to translation of ancient records states that this first continent, more abundant in plant and animal life, was the basis for all life on earth. The tome has been regulated to the occult and pseudo archaeological religions, where it was believed to be a religious work rather than a historical volume. A Commentary on the Book of Gates (1868). The theory has also been relegated to the fringe beliefs of the 19th Century spiritism, since the book was said to have been provided by a spirit. The mention also coincides with the suppressed release of Cambridge University's copy of the Book of Gates to the Highmore Book review for authentication several years ago and the request by the Holy See in the Vatican to compare their version in the Vatican Library. There are only a handful of copies known to be in existence, mostly private collectors and museums.
