(Eli from Russia) REPUBLIC OF KALMYKIA. Four hundred years ago the descendants of Mongolian Oirats (Kalmyks) migrated to Europe. They created the Kalmyk Khanate, which lasted from 1635 to 1779, in the south of the European portion of Russia's massive territory. Today they form the majority in Kalmykia, located on the Kalmyk Steppe, on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. They are the only traditionally Buddhist people located in Europe, and they herd and ride Bactrian camels. This place, cold as it feels with the windchill, has burning water springs.

Secret site in Peruvian Andes: Naupa Huaca

The "Temple of the Moon" is an Incan ceremonial temple on Huayna Picchu near Machu Picchu, in Peru. The site is made up of stone masonry and an open-face, shallow cave. In the center of the cave is a stepped sculpture cleanly carved out of rock (hard andesite). Beside the stepped sculpture are steps that lead more deeply into the cave. It is thought that the caves were possibly used to hold mummies. The Temple of the Moon dates back at least 1500 years [1]. [We suspect much older.]  It was rediscovered in 1936. It rests 1,280 feet (390m) below the summit on the north side of Huayna Picchu. More

Pre-flood ruins of advanced civilization high in the Andes mountains: Naupa Huaca

(Universe Inside) Sept. 22, 2024: Far from the bustling tourist Peruvian paths that lead up to famous Machu Picchu or Ollantaytambo, in the remote Andean highlands of Peru's Sacred Valley, rests a mystery site hidden away within a rock cave.

This site is called Naupa Iglesia, or more accurately, Naupa Huaca. This unexplained structure is believed to be a prehistoric site left by a civilization far more ancient and far more advanced than the Incan civilization which inhabited the region.

WASHINGTON, DC [outside of USA, in "Columbia," and reigning over it] — Archeologists have uncovered a cluster of lost cities in the Amazon rainforest that was home to at least 10,000 farmers around 2,000 years ago.

A series of earthen mounds [like Buddhist stupas, tepes (tels), kurgans, and barrows (tumulus)] buried roads in Ecuador was first noticed more than two decades ago by archaeologist Stéphen Rostain.

But at the time, " I wasn’t sure how it all fit together,” said Rostain, one of the researchers who reported on the finding Thursday [1/11/24] in the journal Science.

Recent mapping by laser-sensor technology [LiDAR] revealed those sites to be part of a dense network of settlements and connecting roadways, tucked into the forested foothills of the Andes [most of which are in Peru], that lasted about 1,000 years.

Meso-, S. America were advanced places on earth

“It was a lost valley of cities," said Rostain, who directs investigations at France’s National Center for Scientific Research. “It's incredible.”

The settlements were occupied by the Upano people between around 500 B.C. and 300 to 600 A.D. — a period roughly contemporaneous with the Roman Empire in Europe, the researchers found.

Residential and ceremonial buildings erected on more than 6,000 earthen mounds were surrounded by agricultural fields with drainage canals. The largest roads were 33 feet (10 meters) wide and stretched for 6 to 12 miles (10 to 20 kilometers).

LiDAR scans reveal topographical features like X-rays reveal bones: This LiDAR image provided by researchers in Jan. 2024 shows a main street crossing an urban area, creating an axis along which complexes of rectangular platforms are arranged around low squares at the Copueno site, Upano Valley in Ecuador. Archeologists have uncovered a cluster of lost cities in the Amazon rainforest that was home to at least 10,000 farmers around 2,000 years ago, according to a paper published Thursday, Jan. 11, 2024, in the journal Science (Antoine Dorison, Stéphen Rostain via AP/MSN). 

.

While it’s difficult to estimate populations, the site was home to at least 10,000 inhabitants — and perhaps as many as 15,000 or 30,000 at its peak, said archaeologist Antoine Dorison, a study co-author at the same French institute. That's comparable to the estimated population of Roman-era London, then Britain’s largest city.

“This shows a very dense occupation and an extremely complicated society,” said University of Florida archeologist Michael Heckenberger, who was not involved in the study. “For the region, it’s really in a class of its own in terms of how early it is.”

The Amazon jungle is alive and conscious

José Iriarte, a University of Exeter archaeologist, said it would have required an elaborate system of organized labor to build the roads and thousands of earthen mounds.

“The Incas and Mayans built with stone, but people in Amazonia didn’t usually have stone available to build — they built with mud. It’s still an immense amount of labor,” said Iriarte, who had no role in the research.

The star people helped us build these marvels.

The Amazon is often thought of as a "pristine wilderness with only small groups of people. But recent discoveries have shown us how much more complex the past really is,” he said.

Scientists have recently also found evidence of intricate rainforest societies that predated European contact elsewhere in the Amazon, including in Bolivia and in Brazil.

“There’s always been an incredible diversity of people and settlements in the Amazon, not only one way to live,” said Rostain. “We’re just learning more about them.”

Incredible ancient Buddhist architecture

Interior view of rock-hewn Buddhist temple

Sometimes a mainstream media story catches the eye, something like Stonehenge and more incredible ancient Buddhist feats of engineering (msn.com). A few clicks later, one realizes it's bait. There's little weight to it. It's fancy clickbait Bill Gates needs to build his fortune, maybe make his own island now that Melinda is gone. What the title clicked on didn't say was "Buddhist" feats but it was a Buddhist temple that lured the eye. Then clicking through one can't help but notice that most of the wonders are Buddhist creations. Even the things Buddhists didn't build (by lots of chiseling or by some advanced technology provided by devas from space) they seem to have influenced.

   Volcanoes in the distance, Buddhas in bells

   Borobudur, Java, Indonesia [a pyramidal Buddhist temple, the largest excavated Buddhist temple in the world (with larger one yet to be excavated in Afghanistan or ancient Gandhara, where the Buddha was born and raised) once hidden under mud and layers of volcanic ash and jungle vegetation until 1835, because the local Muslims could not figure out how it was built and could not match it so they buried it in mud and forgot about it until a British surveyor realized no hill should be standing where it was; he dug and found Borobudur, yet we still do not know much about its construction or original purpose, with historians left to compare the thousands of carved bas reliefs depicting Buddhist and Hindu scenes for clues, coming to the conclusion that it must have taken 75 years to build with andesite (grey volcanic rocks) taken from adjacent quarries which were cut, transported, and laid without mortar.

    The Great Wall of Tartaria to keep China out

    Great Wall of China, China [while this Buddhist country, officially atheist communists, now has over 1 billion uncounted Buddhists, making Buddhism the world's third largest religion, the Great Wall was built long before the Han Chinese claimed it, by some civilization with far superior skills, some suggesting the work of mythical Tartaria (Tartary) before the reset, with evidence for this being that it was built to keep the Chinese out not in, given that the parapets for deploying ammunition (arrows, molten metal, spears, hot water, and other dangerous projectiles) are pointed toward China, as protection for neighboring Tartaria, restored to include parapets on both sides to hide this fact]
18. 
    Terracotta Army, Xi’an, China [one of the most exciting archaeological discoveries in history, Xi’an’s Terracotta Army is awe-inspiring and huge, comprised of around 8,000 pottery soldiers and archers, 130 chariots, and 520 horses, unearthed in three pits in an area spanning 215,278 square feet (20,000sqm), believed to be symbolic spirit guards to protect the body of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, who died in 210 BC and whose tomb lies around a mile (1.6km) away, estimated to have taken 700,000 workers 40 years to build by hand with basic tools]
19. La Danta, El Mirador, Guatemala [in a land named after Gautama Buddha, as documented in How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of Buddhism in America (see above), El Mirador, like Egypt, has a similar (yet somehow more impressive) story because it is located in the Americas inside the Mirador-Rio Azul National Park, a pre-classic Mayan city completed at some point between 600 BC to AD 100, with its largest pyramid at La Danta]

20. 

    Buddhist Sanchi, India

    Sanchi Buddhist Stupa, India [(shown above) is one of the oldest stone structures in India, first built around 300 BC to house relics of the Buddha, once standing 54 feet (16m) high, reconstructed around 185 BC to double its original size with stone slabs re-used to create a flattened dome, atop which stand three structures symbolizing the Dharma (the Wheel of Universal Truth), currently standing at 71 feet (21.6m) high and among the carved gateways, staircases, and top-level platform there are intricate carvings and bas reliefs]
21. Parthenon, Athens, Greece [which as part of the ancient Greco (Hellenistic) culture was in contact with Buddhism through Bactria, a Greco-Buddhist culture in modern-day Central Asia, with Buddhist monastics traveling to ancient Greece, giving us the ancient Buddhist classic the Milinda Panha or "Questions of the Greek King Menander I" (100-200 BC), and influencing the original Buddhist architectural art and the first human depictions of the Buddha (a practice that ran contrary to the historical Buddha's instructions, where Indian Buddhists were meant not to depict him, but no such rule restrained his extended family in ancient Gandhara/Afghanistan and the Bactrian kingdom, which by syncretism gave us gorgeous Greco-Buddhist or Gandharan art.]

    The miracle of Persepolis, Persia/Iran

    Persepolis Gate of All Nations, Iran [the original Aryan Land, which according to British Buddhist translator Rhys Davids' Buddhist Birth-Stories; Jataka Tales with the Commentarial Intro Entitled Nidanakatha; The Story of the Lineage, has the Buddha claiming to be descended from the "solar race," Aryan or Iranian (Persian) on his mother's side, according to maverick Indian historian Dr. Ranajit Pal, Ph.D., with a shared history from this special part of the world, the Near East that gave rise to an inordinate number of seminal spiritual figures like the Buddha, Mithras (a pre-Christian messiah figure, possibly derived from the name Maitreya or "Friend," which comes from maitri), Zarathustra, and others (see Non-Jonesian Indology and Alexander)]
23. Van Fortress, Turkey [Turkiye being Anatolia, part of the Near East, now most famous for Gobekli Tepe and similar but older nearby archeological sites now uncovered]
24. 
    Chand Baori, Rajasthan, India [made famous in The Fall (2006 film) awe-inspiring for both in its appearance and construction, built by Islamic mathematicians and engineers in the 10th century to supply water to the Abhaneri village in eastern Rajasthan, with 3,500 steps descending some 64 feet (19.5m) into the earth and is one of the world’s largest and deepest step wells in the world, with symmetrical geometry that is incredible – especially when one considers it was built with simple tools, an ancient site that also features an enclosed rectangular courtyard with windows, a three-storied pavilion, pillar-supported galleries, and sculpture-clad balconies]
25. Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England, UK [which may seem impressive until one finds out it was assembled 50 years ago with modern equipment, though some might say restored from fallen stones, which can attribute their precise alignment to constant recalibration over the centuries, very suspect]
26. Pyramids of Giza, Egypt [which, while not as big as the Pyramid of Cholula in Mexico, is the most famous, or close to it; it seems the pyramid with the capstone always gets called the Great Pyramid while a picture of another nearby pyramid is shown]

27. 

    The Great Bath is one example of IVC

    Great Bath, Pakistan [Mohenjo-daro, Indus Valley Civilization (8000 BC-2000 BC) was a time of great design and remarkable engineering, and this is showcased in modern-day Pakistan’s Great Bath (though Pakistan is only a 50-year-old country, formerly a part of NW India, home of the ancient university of Taxila (Takkashila), where the Buddha and Ananda attended in a previous life, with famous stupas and bas relief carvings (archeological sites), plus this rectangular-shaped bath, likely used for special occasions and ceremonies with two wide staircases leading down to it, measuring 38 feet (11.8m) long, 22 feet (7m) wide and up to eight feet (2.43m) deep, built with baked bricks and natural tar material to keep it watertight, with an adjacent well providing water and an established drainage outlet, along with adjoining rooms likely used for changing]

Ancient two-headed art of Inca found in Peru

Rachel Truman, Love Exploring via MSN, 3/21/23, Lisa Trever; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly

Ultra-ancient art

Archeologists have discovered two magnificent murals depicting two-faced men in the 1,400-year-old archeological site of Panamarca in Peru. The site was once occupied by the Inca Empire, but these murals date back to an even earlier culture – the Moche – who predated the Incas by several centuries. No one knows exactly how the Moche used the site, but the murals adorn a large, still partly unexcavated ceremonial hall that surely held huge political or religious significance.
