New Mexico L.O.W.F.I

Aug. 9, 1899: “With the trophies of his summer’s explorations spread out about him, Dr. Cole has turned his parlor into an anthropological museum. One table is covered with water jugs and incense pipes, the sofa hidden under stone axes, mortars, pestles, weaving shuttles and pottery; another table is decked with a row of grinning skulls and huge crossbones; beneath it comfortably repose all the parts of a skeleton, from the toe bones to the shoulder blades, waiting to be wired together, and strewn about are bows and arrows, baskets, jugs of twisted twigs made water-tight by pitch; modern Indian pottery, photographs by the score, and a hundred-pound stump of petrified wood. The skulls are a particularly valued possession.”

The Rev. George L. Cole of Los Angeles tells amazing stories of a weird, ancient culture that flourished in the cliffs of New Mexico. A race of people 7 feet tall (this grew to 8 feet in later stories) with curious teeth who worshiped the sun and considered the turkey to be a sacred animal.

I watched the Dulce Base episode of UFO Hunters earlier.

People out there can believe there is a base under Archuleta Mesa or not, but it can’t be denied that some really weird stuff goes on around Dulce and in the 4 corners area in general.

UFO sightings, cattle mutilations, skinwalkers and other fortean occurrences seem to happen far more often than in other areas.  I don’t think it is coincidence that Mesa Verde and many other ancient ruins are also in that area.  Right in the town of Aztec, where a UFO crash is said to have taken place, are ancient native American ruins that are at least 800 years old.  Really there is a huge concentration of ancient ruins in that area.

I am not going to pretend to know why the fortean and ancient ruins are connected, but I am sure that they are.
