MYSTERIOUS RUINS UNCOVERED IN EASTERN

ARIZONA KNOWN SINCE 1970s

(Right) One of the several discovered structures in the one of several Black Mesa ravines, detailed for archaeological study. Chilchinbeto, AZ -A classified archaeological report has been released by the Smithsonian Institution that reveals Navajo authorities had notified a team of archaeologists from Eastern Arizona University after the discovery of unknown ruins near Black Mesa on the Navajo Indian Reservation. The discovery was found in the late 1970s and may lead to an ancient Upper Paleolithic civilization predating any on the Western Hemisphere. The news of the discovery was ordered to be suppressed by several highest level Smithsonian administrators to “protect the mainstream chronology of human evolution at the time” according to the initial report. The large stone towers located west of the town appear to be surrounded by the remains of a strange necropolis of stone mounds and was discovered after a contracted series of recording, preservation and relocation of artifacts projects with the Indian Mesa Archaeological Project. Assisted by the Peamon Mining Company, who contracted with the Navajo authorities, the decades long project was intended to identify important ceremonial and sacred sites before mining operations began on the reservation. When Eastern Arizona University authorities received reports from Peamon and sent investigators to the ruins, they silenced the news and immediately contacted the Smithsonian. “This was an astounding discovery. The ruins are nearly 209 miles off to the northwest of Chaco Culture National Park, New Mexico, where the Ancestral Puebloans had built the most impressive metropolis and historical pre-Columbian culture north of Mexico. Now contrary to accepted archaeological models, the Black Mesa ruins may indeed predate these and others by many tens of thousand of years,” acknowledges Professor Charles Foster, Department of Archaeology, Eastern Arizona University. Surrounding the mysterious stone towers area are also several pyramid style mounds and underground megalithic structures that have been mapped using ground penetrating radar, revealing several numbers of ancient roads, tunnels, canals and walls, suggesting that these ancient, mysterious ruins may have been the seat of a prehistoric civilization. The type of construction and the items found on the site are unlike any comparison to the various Pueblo ruins discovered in Arizona and New Mexico.

The Mystery Ruins

Professor Arthur Dees of the Anthropological Department of Eastern Arizona University, on the review board for the find, said, “We are utterly astonished by the possibility of an advanced Pre- Native American culture existing on our continent.” Addressing a gathering of colleagues from various archaeological faculties from across the United States and Canada, Professor Dees went on to state as follows: "The accepted line of archaeological evidence from the Smithsonian Institution states that the Ancestral Puebloans of the Southwest had begun building cities as far back as 6500 BC - 1200 BC. Some of their renowned cultural centers were in Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde and Bandelier ranging from Arizona, Colorado and as far as New Mexico. But now we have found dozens of megalithic structures in the Black Mesa area which the Navajo claim were there long before them, and then demonstrate a very advanced 'Clovis' culture, boasting advanced architectural techniques, carbon dated some 50,000 to 30,000 years ago and then the records being suppressed in our archaeological circles and officially accepted government publications," he said. Ancient petroglyphs common in the southwestern Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. Experts believe these art forms were carved from 1300 to 1680 before the Spanish came. “These ruins just reflect a small portion of Black Mesa’s total land area. There are possibly many other additional sites that are just waiting to be excavated. This is just demonstrating to the academic world to question both the scientific models and paleontological theories of our past Western Hemisphere's prehistoric cultures,” says Prof. Foster.

An Unknown Civilization?

Indian scholar and historian Sydney Heath Clarkson of the Indigenous Studies Institute claims that the oral traditions passed down through the centuries by Navajos may mention these unknown peoples, despite others claiming they were speaking of the Anasazi (the ancient enemies). "The population of North and South America has been stated to have occurred when Paleolithic hunter-gatherers entered this continent from the North Asian Mammoth steppe via the Beringia land bridge, which linked Siberia and Alaska due to low sea levels during the Last Glacial Age. What is puzzling about this migration model is that the accepted spread on both north and south continents occurred some 14,000 years ago. How is this possible when ruins of this influential culture in Ancient America were built during a period before the first populations of the Americas, the Paleo- Indians, appeared some 10,000 years ago? Could it be that Ancient America was inhabited by undiscovered peoples we have yet to uncover? This may very well be the case," he acknowledges. The archaeologists are uncertain which factors affected the prehistoric civilization resulting in its decline which could have befallen the city or its mysterious peoples and caused the civilization's and ruin's abandonment. Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado. The ruins are one of the several from the Ancestral Puebloans built around 1200. Photographed by Gustaf Nordenskiöld in 1891. "The public suppression of these documents by the Smithsonian Institution has helped the Eastern Arizona University and the National Indigenous Peoples Council protect the integrity of the heritage site from relic hunters and curiosity seekers," remarked Professor Foster. He also insisted no distant photography will be released, as no reference points for the public will be provided until further review of the site mapping has been completed. Anasazi jar (olla), c. 1100-1250, southwest United States, hand-built clay painted with black pigment. Currently in display at the Honolulu Museum of Art. The National Park Service mentioned that on Arizona state and federal lands there exist yet to be revealed Indian ruins that have been kept secret by local and state officials, to ensure such ruins remain intact and unmolested by the general public in order to ensure no opportunities for relic theft, vandalism or encroachment. The report will be announced for release in 2026 and the event will be conducted in coordination by the Smithsonian to ensure cultural neutrality.
