LOST TECHNOLOGY OF THE ANCIENTS:

DID THE BUILDERS OF MEGALITHIC MONUMENTS KNOW THIS SECRET?

A recent book, Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty, by John

Burke (the "B" in "BLT Research Team") and his colleague Kaj
Halberg (Council Oaks Books, 2005: ISBN #1-57178-184-6
and ISBN #978-1-57178-184-0) presents scientifically
documented evidence that the old-world engineers who built
the massive henges, pyramids, mounds and dolmen of the
ancient world may well have understood a true secret—lost to
modern man until now. The authors show that these
structures were overwhelmingly sited at locations where the
local geology magnified naturally-occurring electromagnetic
fluctuations in the earth's crust and, further, that pyramidal
and corbel- roofed stone structures erected at these
locations enhanced this effect.
Additionally, they reveal that indigenous seeds, when placed
at these locations (for various periods of time, depending
upon the type of seed) show significant increases in growth
rate and yield when subsequently planted—as well as
increased resistance to plant stressors (lack of sunlight
and/or drought conditions). Such results would have been of
enormous importance to ancient peoples and the authors
suggest that the monument-builders not only knew these
facts, but deliberately chose these sites and structure-
shapes in order to insure their culture's food production.

Burke and Halberg conducted instrument surveys at various

old-world monuments such as the King's and Queen's
Pyramids in Tikal, Guatemala, and at Olmec mounds and
various other monuments of the pre-Incan civilization at
Tiwanaku on the shores of Lake Titicacca, as well as at
English henges and at the oldest megaliths in the world (circa
4,800 B.C.) at Carnac, in the Brittany section of France.

Magnetometer surveys were also carried out at many

American Indian "vision quest" sites, some of which are still in
use today by Native people, and the readings obtained at
these sacred sites were among the highest found anywhere.
People interested in the crop circle phenomenon will be
familiar with some of the photographic anomalies obtained
during this project: "ball of light" (BOL) and other light
anomalies similar to those regularly obtained in and around
crop circles all over the world. But they may be unaware that
stone structures, particularly when built in a conical or
pyramidal shape over a naturally-occurring EM hot-spot,
concentrate these energies—resulting in intensified electric
charge in the surrounding air and, under certain conditions,
BOLs and plasma arc discharges.
Also familiar to individuals who are aware of the scientific
research conducted on crop circle plants is the fact that
seedlings grown from seeds taken from plants inside the
formations regularly exhibit abnormal growth patterns,
relative to control seedlings:
[www.bltresearch.com/plantab.php, item #5 (a)(b)(c)(d)]. We
know that when crop circles occur early in the growth season
the seeds from these plants show significantly retarded
growth habit. Of perhaps greater interest is the fact that
seedlings grown from seeds obtained from late-season crop
circles show not only a marked increase in growth-rate, these
plants produce greater yield than the controls, in conjunction
with increased resistance to "growth stressors" (lack of
sunlight and/or water).
Following the discovery of these germination and growth
changes in crop circle plant seeds, research carried out by
W.C. Levengood and John Burke eventually resulted in the
development of a non-chemical, non-genetic technology which
stimulates normal seeds to produce beneficial antioxidants.
This MIR StressGuard process improves the seedlings' ability
to withstand free radicals, resulting in the same increased
growth rate and yield, and increased resistance to plant
stressors, with no harmful environmental consequences.

And so it is extremely interesting to learn that Burke and

Halberg's experiments with seeds indigenous to each specific
location studied produced similar results. Seeds placed on top
of the "Lost World" pyramid at Tikal (below) show increased
growth-rate relative to their controls.

seedlings (@11 days) grown at
Tikal. Samples had been placed
on top of the "Lost World"
pyramid on a morning with
extremely powerful electrical
activity.
Below, forty seeds of "Iroquois Blue Flint" corn which had
been placed inside a Native American rock chamber with
highly magnetic stone roof-slabs not only grew almost 100%
faster than 40 controls, they produced three times as much
corn, by weight.

Comments made by people who've read Seed of Knowledge,

Stone of Plenty:

"a direct connection between the world of the shaman and

[…] scientist"
"an entirely new way to look at ancient engineering marvels"
"the results are clear and compelling"
"one new fact after another"
"a great read"

And these remarks from Boston University geology professor

Dr. Robert Schoch (author of Pyramid Quest and the
scientist who first re-dated the carving of the Great Sphinx
in Egypt, based on weathering patterns caused by water,
rather than wind, erosion):

"Utterly fascinating. These ideas provide a new and

groundbreaking approach to understanding the mysteries
of ancient megalithic stuctures.

"John Burke's unusual background in physics and

agriculture [his cropcircle work with the BLT Research Team
and subsequent collaboration with W.C. Levengood on the MIR
Stressguard process] allowed him to see what no one else
has before: a practical purpose for the imposing stone
structures that amaze and baffle us today. Along with
co-author Kaj Halberg, Burke set out on a journey of
scientific exploration, which resulted in experimental
proof of his original theory. This theory describes a
technology of the ancients only now rediscovered.

"From North and South America to Great Britain and

beyond, 'Seed of Knowledge, Stone of Plenty:
Understanding the Lost Technology of the Ancient
Megalithic-Builders' takes the reader through the process
of discovery, invites the readers to see the evidence and
even participate themselves. Two appendices give location
listings of the sites readily accessible in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain, along with do-it-
yourself instructions on how to replicate Burke and
Halberg's experiments."
