Psychic Archaeology Research Paper

Pseudo-history, pseudo-science, and pseudo-archaeology have delivered ‘proof’ of numerous sites where Atlantis, the lost city of which Plato wrote, could have thrived and then suffered total destruction

The Tomb of the Unknowns one of the most honored places in our country. It's the cemetery for any soldier who tragically passed during duty. At this cemetery there is a ceremony that is one of the greatest honors for anyone to do. I feel that I should be selected to be a representative for Olentangy Berkshire Middle School at the Tomb of the Unknowns. This would be a great honor for me because of my family, future and respect for the military.

      Atlantis is known to most people as a legend or myth written by the Greek poet Plato, but is it possible that this lost continent really existed? Is it all legend or could there be some fact to it? Contrary to common belief there have been numerous geological and historical findings that actually give proof to the existence of this lost city. In the book Imagining Atlantis it tells us the story written by Plato. "According to ancient Egyptian temple records the Athenians fought an aggressive war against the rulers of Atlantis some nine thousand years earlier

Atlantis maybe one of the greatest mysteries due to the fact it does not have any evidence of

History and the preservation of cultural heritage are the foundation to influencing who and what our societies are today. A strong foundation is one derived from truth based on tangible and irrefutable knowledge and evidence. The discipline of archaeology is a science that probes the depths of the human past (Chazan 2014:8) and utilizes various concrete research methods and theories in determining past societies based on objects anchored in today. An unnerving threat however, are those rooted in the practice of pseudoarchaeology which frankly, is not a science but rather a fantastical imagery of history that romanticizes and exaggerates ideas and notions of the past. Pseudoarcheaology seeks to emphasize false truths on the bases of exaggerating

Plato told a story about the City of Atlantis around 360 B.C. The founders of the lost City of Atlantis were half god and half human. They established a utopian civilization and it became a great aquatic power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center. These beautiful islands were filled with all different types of objects. Some of these objects were gold, silver, and other extravagant metals. This island had a rare type of exotic wildlife. Near this city was a fantastic capital city in the central island. Different parts of this lost city are said to be located somewhere in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain, even under what is now Antarctica. "Pick a spot on the map, and someone has said that Atlantis was there," says Charles Orser, curator of history at the New York State Museum in Albany. Said by this man, Atlantis could be anywhere.

Spirit Cave is located in Thailand, in the Pang Mapha district, in the Mae Hong Son Province. (1) The Hoabinhian hunting tribe occupied it from 9000 to 5500 BCE. They were a community of hunters and gatherers that used tools such as the short axe, hammerstones, and tools made of bone. The cave is on a hillside overlooking a small stream. This site dates back to the Neolithic or New Stone Age.

After that many stories went around. People and the ancient times made stories and tales. Over time scientists discovered "Atlantis". It was a swampy area but it was where people described it. There was an underwater volcano that took it down. I found all this at History.com, at the atlantis discussion area. So do you think atlantis

To truly understand where modern psychics originate from one must first know where the time-honored term “psychic” itself originates. The term psychic is derived from a Greek word “psychikos” which means “of the mind”. In Greek mythology “Psyche (Psuchê), [meaning], "breath" or "the soul," occurs in the later times of antiquity, as a personification of the human soul,” (“Psyche”) She was once human, a mortal princess with unimaginable beauty, who fell in love with Eros, the god of love. According to history, a French man named Camillie Flammarion, who was an astronomer and spiritualist, is thought to have been the first person to use the word psychic. He approached Spiritism and psychical research from a scientific way, studied mediums and believed in the psychic phenomenon. But it was eventually included in the English language by a man named Edward William Cox, a successful publisher, who was interested in investigating spiritualism and conducting experiments

Atlantis is an idea written by the Greek philosopher, Plato, well over 2,000 years ago (Top). Atlantis is mentioned in the dialogues of Plato’s characters, Timaeus and Critias (Atlantis). The HISTORY.com article, “Atlantis” noted, “Plato

The legendary Lost city of Atlantis was once real to man and was heard to be told a “myth” or a “story” to protect it but that was 10,000000 years ago. Atlantis was a real civilization, and the expert testimony, physical evidence, and scientific evidence prove this. Atlantis was a city filled with goods like gold, silver, and wildlife, a place where the demigods(half god, half mortal) lived. The legend of Atlantis is a story told by Plato a Greek philosopher. It is about a moral, spiritual people who lived in a highly advanced, Utopian civilization. But they became greedy, petty, and morally bankrupt, and the gods became angry because the people had lost their way and turned to immoral pursuits. As punishment, Plato, says Poseidon sent "one terrible night of fire and earthquakes" that caused Atlantis to sink into the sea. Plato said it existed around 10,000 years before him, and that it was passed down by poets. There are some pieces of proof that may prove how Atlantis sank and that its ruins sank under the depths of seas. The proof of its existence could be proved by the expert testimony, physical evidence, and scientific evidence.

So Mark said “I was like, what? The fact that someone could actually search for Atlantis an be taken seriously was wierd.” Mark thought that Atlantis was just a legendary city that hovers in our imagination. That we all wish that we could find but it will never happen because it does not exsist. The book that he wrote called “Meet Me in Atlantis:My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City.” He thinks it brings everything together with a whole bundle of conjecture and gives it to us as a totally new place to look at. In this particual story he talks about he thinks it is off the coast of Morocco. He also talks about an irish man who has the largest database on Atlantis and Atlantis lore. The author also explains how the red sea from the Bible in Exodus splits apart and how it could be related to Atlantis. The author got most of his information from Plato and his dialouges. He was the soul source for the boook he wrote. But before he got into Atlantis he was a non-fictional writer. He was working on a book called Machu Picchu. Which is a real place in peru. Unlike Atlantis Machu Picchu is a place that you can actually visit. It is suppose to be a religous site for Inca leaders and they also thought it could have been a royal estate. The royal estate would of most likely have been biult for inca leaders. The people thought the Inca leaders were demigods. Their main god was

There are multiple theories related to Atlantis, about its culture and where it could have been located but the main theories stated above state the most popular possible locations for the fabled city. Each of the five theories may have been Atlantis with the exception of the Atlantic theory and Antarctic theory which were proven impossible due to new discoveries in the 20th and 21st

Joshua Mark’s article provides various accounts of ghosts and spirits in cultures worldwide, beliefs that originated in the ancient world. In particular, he presents a comprehensive outlook of ghosts and spirits found in the cultures and religions of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India, and the Mesoamerica and Celtic regions. Each type of ghost is explained in reference to their believed origination and their intended purpose, whether it be to assist or wreak havoc. This is legitimized by Mark’s frequent references to each culture’s respective poems and holy texts, which serve as proof of the presented material. Moreover, Mark presents each culture’s beliefs regarding the afterlife, much of which pertains to the journey of the soul

An anthropological approach coincides to that of the comparative mythologists. To understand the beliefs for which stone and earth monuments were created, cultural history is of utmost importance. Anthropology provides an inexhaustible source for contemporary artists as well as for scholars. A non-traditional geological approach suggests connections between the ancient sights and natural phenomena. Considerable centres of terrestrial magnetism have been found at ancient sites and stones. Coincidences with geological faults, buried springs and the crossing of underground streams were also recorded. Clues to the original functions of the stones were also found in local folklore, etymology and place names. This information has been use by “Ley Hunters”. Ley lines are patterns in the landscape, and apparent alignments of significant places in the geography of an area. The concept was derived by Alfred Watkins, who theorised that St.Ann’s Well In Worcestershire was the start of a line that passed along the ridge of the Malvern Hills and through several springs, including the Holy Well, Walms Well and St.Pewtress Well. Ley hunters are a network of individuals in Britain, who trace networks of ley lines while
