THE BLYTHE PETROGLYPHS: ANOTHER SPECULATION
This last week I was doing a little research on petroglyphs in conjunction with plasmas - you know, the kind of research I reviewed in my book The Cosmic War, based on some of the observations of plasma physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt, and I ran across this very intriguing story about the petroglyphs near Blythe, California:
The Mysterious Blythe Intaglios Geoglyphs in the California Desert
If you do not know what these petroglyphs are, they are near Blythe, California, in the desert, and they are North America's version of the so-called Nazca lines in Peru: they are large glyphs created on the desert floor, depicting various animals, and in some cases, what appear to be human (or at least, humanoid) male hunters. Like the Nazca lines, however, these geoglyphs are really only visible from the air, and in fact, it was a pilot flying over them that led to their (re-)discovery in 1931:
Army Air Corps pilot George Palmer departed the area of Hoover Dam on the morning of November 12, 1931, for Los Angeles. The flight became anything but routine when Palmer noticed strange figures below him on the barren landscape of the Colorado Desert. What seemed to be depictions of a mountain lion, horses, and a rattlesnake with large rocks for eyes loomed large beyond the cockpit.
It was the giants, however, that must have held Palmer’s attention. There were anthropomorphic human figures amidst the collection of animals and geometric shapes. Large ones. Additionally, the desert giants appeared to be male. One of them displayed a distinct rendering of its manhood. Another held a spear poised above two fish while the Sun and a serpent watched from above. A third stood with arms and legs outstretched as though he were participating in some ancient ritual or summoning.
But what caught my interest in this article was this statement:
These enormous ground designs remain one of the enduring historic mysteries of the United States. No one knows precisely who created them or when. However, what is certain is that the process of creating these phenomenal pieces of natural art required extensive time and effort. This reveals the importance of the geoglyphs to those who fashioned them.
“Their age is inbetween (sic) 450-2000 years old. According to the Mohave and Quechans, natives to the lower Colorado River area, the human figures represent Mastamho, the Creator of all life.” (Emphasis added)
Notwithstanding the local tribes' interpretation of these geoglyphs as depicting the "Creator of all life," presumably one of the male hunting figures, it's the age figure that intrigues me, for the geoglyphs are supposedly from 450 to 2000 years old, that its, they were created some time between the time of Christ and the beginning of European colonization of the Americas.
So why is that significant? For one thing, this is the same rough time period that many believe the Nazca lines, much further south in Peru, were also created. (Most dates give approximately 500 BC to 500 AD for the Nazca lines, which makes the terminus ante quem of the Bluthe geoglyphs about a thousand years later than the Nazca lines, with some considerable overlap from the earliest time for both sets of geoglyphs, 500 BC for the Nazca Lines, and 2000 years ago for the Blythe geoglyphs. In other words, the overlap suggests that there may be some common cultural background or undercurrent connecting the two sets. There are even some qualitative and stylistic resemblances.
And this fact brings me to today's high octane speculation. Within the alternative research community, and especially since the various publications of people like the late Eric von Daeniken or Zechariah Sitchin, the Nazca geoglyphs have been interpreted as implying that someone may have had some sort of flight technology, and that this was either used to create the glyphs, or that whoever created them was creating pictures that were only really visible to whomever did possess the technology and capability. In other words, if one assumes that interpretation and approach for the Nazca lines, it is only reasonable to apply it to the Blythe geoglyphs as well.
The implication is clear someone was flying around the southern California desert ca. 2000-450 years ago. One need not invoke UFOs or anti-gravity flying saucers. Someone able to see such geoglyphs from the air implies, minimally, a simple hot air balloon technology. Perhaps whomever was flying around possessed a kind of proto-dirigible technology and was able to steer their balloon. Or perhaps it was simply tethered to the ground.
My point in raising this issue is to extend this high octane speculation in a direction that, to my knowledge, no one has hitherto done: what if these geoglyphs are somehow behind or connected to the 19th century airship mystery; what if someone, knowing of their existence, came to a similar conclusion that we have come to regarding them, that they could only be visible from the air by someone with the wherewithal to do so? A hot air balloon, or, more importantly, a steerable and controllable aerial technology?
Put Blythe and Nazca together and I suspect you have a common culture and phenomenon; someone back then wanted to make pictures only able to be seen from the air, and that implies someone in the air to see them; perhaps a god, or perhaps someone with a technology to do so, or perhaps a bit of both.
See you on the flip side...

Very Important Note that the Hoover Dam is a marker in time and space. It marks the precession of the Equinoxes, or the Long Cycle.

The Hoover Dam is comparable to the Great Pyramid of Giza in complexity.
For whatever reasons, people took the time – and made the considerable effort – to craft geoglyphs anciently in many more places across the face of our planet than even those interested in archaeology would appreciate today. I shall confine my remarks just to South America, if only because I’ve made a special study of the Andean region, through which I’ve come across certain information that may challenge some of the preconceptions of academic orthodoxy and ‘alternative’ theorists alike.
Let’s start with a few facts:
– Robert J. Benfer Jr has found animal effigy geoglyphs in many parts of the
Peruvian Andes, lying just to the East of the Nazca coastal plain;
– There are numerous geoglyphs visible today from the air on the Atacama
Desert in modern Chile, immediately to the South of the Nazca region.
Several of them depict a humanoid figure holding a staff in each hand, similar
to the figure carved in high relief, immediately above the aperture of the Gate
of the Sun at Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco);
– One of the earliest written accounts of the Nazca Lines was made by
Luis de Monzón in 1586 as part of a survey he was making for the Spanish
Viceroy of Peru. He noted that the local people had made them according to
the precepts of foreigners they called the “Viracochas,” who had come to
those lands in “the most ancient of times;”
– According to Spanish researcher J. J. Benitez, as late as the 1990s, the belief
was still extant among the indigenous people of the Nazca coastal region that
the knowledge of how to draw the Nazca lines was given to them by the
“Viracochas.”
And now for some of my own speculations, seeded with a few more facts:
Lying to the immediate North of the Nazca lines are geoglyphs known as the Palpa Lines, which are considered older, and are thought to have been produced by the pyramid building,shamanistic Paracas Culture. It may be that Nazca was a continuation of the Paracas culture, albeit degenerated in certain key scientific respects. What’s more, the 1998 El Niño rains that fell on to the Nazca plain washed away some of the surface geoglyphs to reveal far more ancient ones that were – until then – buried in the desert beneath. In short, the dates that academic archaeology gives for the Nazca lines, and even the very existence of a discrete “Nazca Culture” may be a misleading interpretation, based on selective or partial evidence.
Towards the end of her near life-long study of the Nazca Lines, Maria Reiche came to realise that they had all been drawn using a common system of measurement. Most unusually, the system was not based on simple physical quantities, but on proportions. This scale invariant measurement system would have greatly facilitated the tracing of geometric and other figures across vast tracts of landscape, which were directly proportionate to figures that had been drawn on our own human scale of physicality.
What does all of this mean for the hypothesis that some sort of sophisticated technology must have been used, especially given that the Nazca Lines only can be seen from the air? Well, I think it points to a highly sophisticated technology, but it may not necessarily have been a physical technology, such as an airship or even some sort of ‘anti-gravity’ device. It may have been more like what we know as remote viewing, but perhaps with certain technical refinements. As stated previously, the Paracas Culture was shamanistic, as were the Nazca people, so it’s quite likely that their predecessors – the Viracochas – also had used this technology of human consciousness to a degree that we are only just beginning to re-learn today.
Sorry. One other thing. One of the humanoids has knobby knees and his arms are spread in an ARC like a circle. No elbows. Knobby knees, but no elbows. The space between his legs is analogous to the Gulf of California, his torso to the land between the Gulf and Blythe, and his arms to the Great Circle that passes on an East-West track through Blythe, like the line from Tiawanaku up the length of Lake Titicaca to Ollantaytambo where that line intersects the Great Circle from Giza to Nazca, NE-SW.
On those Blythe Geoglyphs. I have not found a map showing the glyphs and their north-south orientation. However, they are in an interesting location. Blythe is close by the Colorado River and north of the Gulf of California that points in its direction. If you were flying northward over the west coast of Mexico you could easily find Blythe. We put signs at interchanges. Blythe is on Interstate 10. In Peru, Lake Titicaca runs along a SE-NW axis like the Gulf of California. Draw a line along the center of that lake and you hit Tiawanaku south of the lake, the proceeding north you come to the Viracocha Temple, Cuszco with Saqsayhuaman, Moray, and Ollantaytambo. For the pre-inca people who built with large stones and left no gaps in their stonework,Ollantaytambo was the center of the Peruvian world. Jim Alison’s world grid shows that a Great Circle around the globe from the Giza Pyramids to Ollantaytambo passes through Nazca and on to Easter Island. Someone flying on this Great Circle path from Easter Island will therefore arrive at South America and come to Nazca. What do its geoglyphs mean? Frank M. Nicholson and Ken Phungrasamee have written The Great Circle Map Hypothesis explaining how these glyphs represent locations in South America, including the upper amazon and mouth of the Amazon, as well as Atlantic currents and distinctive features in southern Africa. So, these glyphs are signs for places that lie ahead and to right and left. Blythe is like Nazca in that someone flying up the Gulf of California, an obvious indicator or “landmark” for a pilot (like using Mt. Aetna as a marker when flying over the western Med), comes to an area suitable for signs as to what lies ahead might look down and see the geoglyphs indicating directions to various megalithic sites, locations like Chaco Canyon (which appears to be a meeting place like the Viracocha Temple and Ollantaytambo), the Salton Sea to the west of Blythe, and other landmarks like Mt. Shasta, the Grand Canyon, or the meteor crater east of Flagstaff. Nicholson and Phungrasamee show that Blythe is on a Great Circle, so if nothing else the glyphs would tell the aviators they have come to another “interstate” of sorts.
I spent my first year of infancy, in Greenland, living in the “cabin of the double murderer”, and, it was named so, because the previous resident, who was an anti-feministic Eskimo, had killed his two wives, in domestic disputes.
I agree with President Donald Duck, that Greenland should be forcefully taken away from Denmark – as punishment – because the Jewish royalty, in Scandinavia, is morally inbred, supporting a Slavic civil war, in the Ukraine.
I agree with the Russian position, that the Eskimos, in Greenland, should be allowed, to seek their Inuit nationhood – across the Bering Strait – and, that Russia–United States relations should facilitate such a landbridge.
A ‘second-sighted’ lawmaker suggests Greenland join Russia:

Hot air balloons have been tested and proved to be a possible use in creating these petrographs
As I was reading the thought occurred to me; just as plasmas do crop circles[balls of blue lightning], perhaps some do petroglyphs?
Or; have some influence in the “art”, by design?
Time travelers with some future tech; yet, must incorporate available tools & resources at site?
Secret tech passed on through future generations?
Or, since a lot of cultures associate the stars and Milky Way serpent as as deities and the sky as the abode of their deities they may have created the figures during a time of great desperation to desperately draw attention to their plight. Interesting that a lot of people believe and claim summoning UFO’s and extraterrestrials is possible and works for some on a regular basis. Wonder if this is the reason there are summoning rituals worldwide by most human cultures. And I wonder if this is because it sometimes does work and aid is sometimes given but at a price. Are localized animal mutilations and alien abductions the price being paid for someone receiving advanced technology or supernatural aid? Is this why human and animal sacrifice is often associated with successful summoning? Perhaps the sacrifice is taken as well in the form of abductions and mutilations from these primitive tribes all over the globe. The greater their aid the greater the price. The greater the technology you are given the more people you must sacrifice. Hope not, it’s not worth it but it would explain the millions of supposed disappearances. Just high octane speculation.
“they may have created the figures during a time of great desperation to desperately draw attention to their plight.”
Like sailors and airmen using rocks and shells to spell out “SOS” on the beach of a desert isle they were washed up on after a shipwreck or crash?
No, the images are too primitive to come from an advanced civilization. I was picturing a climate catastrophy, disease outbreak, or over hunting of local game creating a scarcity. If normal shaman dances and rituals were failing then they might have resorted to something new and extreme. Or maybe a great war chief with a big ego wanted a huge monument built to honor his greatness. All kinds of potential explanations pop up.
Remote viewing – by bird’s eye view – is mushroom-induced psychedelia, which is typical shamanism.
The “Green Man” is Scythian psychedelia, which marks transition, from holy sites, into early mediaeval churches.
The Last Supper ‘skull cup’ is revival of the Scythian resistance movement, as well, as the Scythian psychedelia.
Breaking the 7th seal, by puddle jumping Plato’s Stargate, is done – professionally – under influence of Asgardian shrooms.
In Stargate SG-1, Colonel Jack O’Neill – a.k.a. Sci-Fi MacGyver – makes a Gulliver’s travel, through the Scythian Stargate, to encounter the Asgardian shrooms, in Crimea.
