Before
the Lake was Champlain
www.hiddenlandscape.com
Stories about
'Lost Races' are usually labeled and then dismissed as
"Fantastic Archeology" but a surprising new discovery
along a high beach terrace of the ancient Champlain Sea
has introduced an unknown chapter in the history of Ice
Age America. It suggests that an early and sophisticated
Native culture once existed in the Northeast that
researchers are just beginning to recognize. The lives
that these ancient peoples lived were far different from
the anthropological models that scientists developed for
the Paleo-Indian and the implications of the new
discoveries reach through the entire history of Eastern
Native civilization to our own time. This program
chronicles the long and careful process that has
unfolded one of the great archeological mysteries of
North America. The Hidden Landscapes Project represents
the joined efforts of hundreds of professional, Native
and antiquarian researchers who have generously
volunteered to combine their expertise into a chronicle
of exploration - a series of video stories that
investigate the archeological history and the modern
legacy of Eastern Native civilization.

what we have forgotten - that we are all here for that reason. The goal of our
gathering is to prepare ourselves for the coming decades of change so that we
might share this peace with others.

Join
Tyberonn and the Earth-Keeper Family for this historic Activation in the
magnificent beauty of the Arkansas River Valley on the highest Mountain
in Arkansas. The entire Lodge will be reserved for the Family
Gathering.
Experience the 9-9-9 in the center of the Arkansas Crystal Vortex. No
other place on the planet will vibrate as powerfully with the
Crystalline Frequency on the 9-9-9 as the Northern Hemisphere's most
powerful Crystalline Vortex located in Arkansas.
Mount Magazine State Park, considered as a sacred mountain by the
indigenous will be the alignment point for the activation of the
Emerald Crystal and will vibrate with energy of the Divine Healing
of the Goddess, as it once did in the Temple of Healing in Atlantis.
Metatron has directed that this holy mountain be the anchor for this
event. We invite you to join Tyberonn with Native American Healer
and Author Bwan Equa and Lee Standing Bear, and Hopi Eagle Dancer,
Reuven Saflke as we conduct sacred ceremony in a medicine wheel to
align ourselves to this point, and offer blessings to ceremonially
honor the site. This will be a powerful gathering, and all who feel
the call are invited to participate.
The Mount
Magazine Lodge is now full, but there are plenty of rooms available at the
overflow accommodations, listed at the right.
No place on the
planet will vibrate more powerfully than the Crystal Vortex on the
9-9-9.
