The Mystery of the Carpathian Sphinx

There are those among us who believe that at certain points in mankind’s forgotten past, there were once thriving ancient civilizations that disappeared from the face of the Earth for reasons unknown. And while this may be very hard to prove now, some think that remnants of these civilizations still linger in different parts of the world and that if we look hard enough, we will find more than sufficient evidence of an ancient legacy far advanced than our own today. 

An example of this supposed evidence can be found in the vicinity of a mysterious rock sculpture found on one of the great plateaus of the Carpathian Mountains of Europe. This stone formation bears a strong resemblance to the world-famous Great Sphinx of Egypt, and perhaps for this very reason, this remarkable rock figure is referred to as the Carpathian Sphinx. 

The Great Sphinx in the Carpathian Mountain Range

The Carpathian Sphinx also referred to as the Romanian Great Sphinx, is considered by conventional science as a natural rock formation found in Bucegi Natural Park in the Bucegi Mountains of Romania, which is also part of the much-larger Carpathian Mountain Range located across six countries in Europe. If you dare to measure it, you’ll find that the sphinx sits on a very high plateau, at an altitude of 7,270 feet or 2,216 meters. 

The Carpathian Sphinx has a height of 8 meters and width of 12 meters. As for its appearance, photographs have shown that from a certain angle, the stone formation looks like an otherworldly being which has a human head with discernible lips and even a chin. The figure also looks like it is wearing a cap and as if its gaze is focused at the sky above. It has also been said that the figure of the sphinx is seen best every 21st of November, around sunset. 

Aside from the Carpathian Sphinx, there are also other fascinating and equally intriguing rock formations and natural caves found in the Bucegi Mountains, which is probably why these mountains have been under the protection of Romanian authorities and are recognized as one of the country’s national parks. Given the various sights to see in this area, it is not at all surprising that the Bucegi Mountains, including the Carpathian Sphinx, are very popular natural tourist attractions in Romania.

The Mysterious Claims About the Carpathian Sphinx & The Bucegi Mountains

In recent years, however, the public’s interest in the Carpathian Sphinx and the Bucegi Mountains is not just limited to their scenic views, but also for various claims that go against our current established conventions and knowledge about our origins and our history. 

One of the most widely-suggested alternative theories is that the Carpathian Sphinx, along with the other rock formations found in these mountains, is actually evidence of extraterrestrial presence, if not an advance ancient civilization, on Earth. And to prevent the public from figuring out the truth that our planet was once home to an advanced and possibly alien civilization in our distant past, there is allegedly a grand scheme or conspiracy to safeguard this close-guarded secret from ever coming out. 

So… what is this big secret that various governments have agreed not to make public knowledge just yet? Well, there’s a theory that within the mountain that the Carpathian Sphinx stands on is a complex network of tunnels believed to be of ancient and even of extraterrestrial origin. This elaborate underground labyrinth purportedly leads to a variety of large rooms containing large tables and chairs as if they were made for people larger than modern-day humans. 

Even more peculiar are the allegations that these rooms contained advanced technology beyond what we are currently capable of, and that this mysterious underground facility was built around 50,000 years ago. 

2009 Book "Transylvania Sunrise" by Radu Cinamar & Peter Moon

From whom did these fascinating claims originate, and why did they start to gain ground in recent years?

Well, talk of an alien civilization having once lived within the Bucegi Mountains sparked with the publication of the book “Transylvanian Sunrise,” which was written by someone named Radu Cinamar and Peter Moon, and was published back in 2009. At the time of its release, this book pretty much “rocked the boat” of the paranormal research community with its declaration that a stunning discovery was supposedly made beneath the Carpathian Sphinx which could significantly alter our current knowledge about mankind’s history and our ancient ancestors.

The book posits that in the early 2000s, the Pentagon found an “anomaly” hidden under the Carpathian Sphinx and within the Bucegi Mountains using satellite technology. What they uncovered was apparently so vital that the Pentagon had to go through the top levels of Freemasonry to ally with “Department Zero” – a classified department of the Romanian Intelligence Service – to make sure that the truth never gets out. 

The story goes back in 2002 when the Pentagon was supposedly using its satellite for military surveillance and geodetic espionage, through which they found a structure inside the tall mountain where the Carpathian Sphinx was located. This hidden facility they detected was no ordinary cave or labyrinth, as the satellite scan showed that the mountain emitted two powerful energy blocks: one was connected to a wall which obstructs access to the tunnel, while another was located at the mountain’s center. The latter’s energy field was also much larger and was shaped like a hemisphere or a dome.

The stream of energy emanating from these two locations inside the mountain made it seem like something extraordinarily valuable is being guarded in this discovered structure. And so, naturally, they decided to investigate further and attempted to reach the tunnel inside the mountain, with the United States military supposedly providing the high-tech machine that would drill through the rocky surface. When they managed to reach the mysterious tunnel found by the Pentagon, they saw a huge stone gate at the end of it. However, before they could get to this gate, their access was impeded by an invisible energy field, which ended up automatically killing those who dared to touch it. 

During this thorough investigation of the area, some of what they found inside include large stone tables that project holographic images; advanced technology that can analyze DNA compatibility of different beings; a library that contains information on a collection of topics, including other intelligent races; and an oversized projection room that could show actual images of various events in mankind’s history. 

The Site of the Carpathian Sphinx as Evidence of an Advanced Ancient Alien Civilization

Compelling details like these make sci-fi thriller novels an interesting read and difficult to put down, which could be one of the reasons why many people dismiss Cinamar and Moon’s book as nothing more than a work of fiction. But for those who are willing to reserve passing judgment so quickly, is it possible that these shocking claims about the Carpathian Sphinx and the Bucegi Mountains could be more than just an elaborate and well-thought-out hoax?

The idea that there was this one-big global conspiracy to prevent disclosing new archaeological finds that could cast doubt on the majority of the things we have been told to hold true does seem to be a bit of an overreach, but it is not the only one to suggest that there is something special about the Bucegi Mountains. 

For example, several centuries ago, Herodotus wrote in the fourth volume of his Histories about the Dacians who once inhabited Romania approximately between 82 BC and 106 AD. These Dacians were worshippers of a god named Zalmoxis, who they believed built his place of residence underground and was living in the cave of a holy mountain located in today’s Bucegi Mountains. This account from Herodotus is further supported by an old legend in Romania about its local deity named Zamolxis who resided inside mountains and would disappear into a secret cave whenever he needed to confer with his seers. 

Of course, just because we brought up Herodotus and local legends does not automatically validate claims that we are being denied the truth that ancient civilizations far advanced than our own existed tens of thousands of years ago and that they could have extraterrestrial origins. But you know what? For me, all this talk about a massive conspiracy theory that supposedly hides the existence of extraterrestrial life and technologically-superior ancient civilizations does not seem all that crazy to me. And while science and logic require more than just a published book as evidence of such claims, there are among us who are already quite convinced that there is definitely something more than meets the eye when it comes to fascinating sites like the Carpathian Sphinx and the Bucegi Mountains.

Are Pyramids Proof Of An Ancient Advanced Civilization?

In our modern era, it cannot be denied that the ancient pyramids of Giza have somewhat become the “apple of mankind’s eyes." This is not just because we revel at their distinctiveness as a tourist destination, but mainly because these ancient structures are vestiges of a once-thriving civilization that had a unique history and culture.

Background:

The oldest and the largest of the Egyptian pyramids found at the vast desert landscape of Giza is the Great Pyramid. Believed to have been built for and by the will of the Pharaoh Khufu at some point during his reign in the 26th century BC, the Great Pyramid withstood the test of time. It was one of the biggest buildings on the face of the earth up until the transition to the twentieth century. Standing today at 455 feet (138 meters), this ancient structure is considered by some to be a unique icon of Egyptian legacy and is also the “last construction standing” among the listed Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 

The second pyramid, known as Khafre's pyramid, is widely believed to have been commissioned by Khufu’s son Khafre, whose reign commenced around 2520 BC. The Great Sphinx monument is also located near the Khafre’s pyramid and dates around the same time as his reign, which has led some scholars to believe that the human face of the Sphinx is that of Khafre himself. 

The third pyramid, which is the smallest out of the three principal pyramids of Giza, was supposedly built to serve as the final resting place of Pharaoh Menkaure. It is believed to have been constructed between 2510 and 2490 BC during his rule.   

Proof of Advanced Ancient Technology:

The pyramid complex of Giza is regarded by many to be an impressive feat of engineering, considering mankind’s knowledge about construction and the technology available to the builders of the time were supposedly primitive. Scholars also deem these pyramids as testimonial relics of the “blood, sweat and tears” of tens of thousands of laborers who worked for decades to erect these ancient structures. 

These ancient buildings have continued to stand their ground for the past 4,500 hundred years, an incomparable achievement that has gained the interest and admiration of many. Part of the fascination over these pyramids is rooted in the curiosity over who built them as well as why and how they were built. These questions have opened an avenue of “new-age” discourse in our modern era, with some going so far as to assert that the ancient pyramids of Egypt could be a remnant of a technologically-advanced ancient civilization. Some even believe the pyramids are proof that ancient visitors of extraterrestrial origin once socially interacted with the people of earth. 

Most talk of advanced ancient civilizations and ancient astronauts is put off as pseudoscientific or fantastical speculation, but those who believe that the pyramids of Giza could have been built using advanced ancient technology have arguments that are just too compelling to ignore. 

Here are ten reasons why the pyramids of Giza could be evidence that Egypt’s ancient civilization once possessed advanced technology, which could be alien in origin. 

1. The Size & Weight of the Pyramids & Their Materials. 

One of the arguments raised by those who believe that the pyramids of Giza were built using advanced alien technology is the colossal size and weight of the pyramids and the materials they were built from. 

Building the Great Pyramid, for example, required the quarrying and transportation of 2.3 million stone blocks. Lifting each of these blocks was not exactly effortless either as these stones weighed between 2.5 to 15 tons. 

Archaeologists and researchers have presented theories of how the laborers of that time managed to quarry and transport these blocks from a nearby source to the site where the pyramid was built. However, many insist that these massive stones were nearly impossible to mine, move and lift given the primitive tools of that era. Since the Great Pyramid took at estimated 20 years to complete, it would have taken the laborers only two and half minutes to set each of the pyramid’s insanely-heavy blocks. 

2. The White Limestone Casings of the Great Pyramid. 

While the Great Pyramid is still a magnificent sight to behold, its current appearance today is nothing but a shadow of its former shining beauty. In the distant past, Egyptians referred to the Great Pyramid as “Ikhet,” which, which translates to “Glorious Light.” The Great Pyramid was once shielded with casings made of white-colored and smooth limestone until a disastrous earthquake in 1303 AD led to its untimely uncoupling. Much like mirrors, the pyramid stones reflected sunlight, which made the pyramid glisten like a crystal in the middle of the desert. 

What’s interesting about these reflective stone casings is not just their shape and appearance, but also the source of the material they were made of. Gathering large amounts of flat and polished limestone meant that tons of these stones had to cross the long stretch of the Nile river before they could be used. For some, this leads to the inevitable question of how those who worked in the construction of the pyramid managed to transport heavy and reflective limestone without the guidance of sophisticated knowledge and machinery.  

3. The Elaborate Tunnel Systems Inside the Pyramids of Giza. 

Archaeologists uncover a secret or two hiding beneath the pyramids of Giza from time to time. Prime examples of these discoveries are the elaborate networks of tunnels hidden under the vast desert. There are those who have dared to explore these passageways and the potential rooms or compartments hidden within, but most are still largely unexplored by people of the 21st century. 

What purpose could these tunnels have possibly served? Until we have the chance to excavate and thoroughly investigate these pathways, there’s still no definite answer to this question. Some believe that there could be an underground city beneath the pyramids of Giza and that this buried metropolis could be thousands of years old. 

4.  Strange Heat Anomalies in Several Areas of the Great Pyramid. 

In 2015, an international team of scientists and architects conducted thermal scans of the pyramids in Giza. To their astonishment, they observed “thermal anomalies” in the pyramids and detected high-temperature heat spots in several areas of the Great Pyramid. Mainstream science proposed that empty chambers, internal air currents and the use of varied construction materials were the causes of these anomalies, but believers of ancient advanced civilizations had something completely different in mind.

They believe that the heat spots come from advanced ancient equipment or machinery hidden beneath the pyramids. Some even speculate that the Great Pyramid of Giza could be an antiquated spacecraft built or brought here on the planet by extraterrestrial beings and that the heat anomalies indicate that the alien ship’s engines are ready to ignite after receiving sufficient energy from the sun for the past few thousand years. 

5. Alignment of the Great Pyramid with True North. 

The position of the Great Pyramid and its alignment with the location of true north is one of the more well-known pieces of evidence for the possibility of a technologically-superior ancient civilization. Although built thousands of years ago, the Great Pyramid is regarded by many to be the most accurately-aligned structure on the planet – yes, even more so than our modern-day Meridian Building in London – with a very minimal degree of error of 3/60th. Moreover, this error is not just a mistake in calculation but is explained by the fact that true north shifts as time passes. This means that the Great Pyramid was perfectly aligned at the time it was built. 

How did the ancient Egyptians manage to design and erect the Great Pyramid with such a high level of accuracy? They did not have a compass, so they must have calculated the alignment using sophisticated algorithms. But if they didn’t even have the knowledge and technology to make a compass, how could they have mathematically extrapolated the Great Pyramid’s near-perfect alignment with the cardinal direction of true north? Theories have attempted to answer this mystery, but experts can’t seem to agree on a single explanation. 

5. Alignment of the Pyramids with the Stars of Orion’s Belt. 

According to the Orion Correlation Theory, which was first presented by Robert Bauval back in 1983, the placement of the three main pyramids in the Giza Plateau aligns with the three main stars of Orion’s Belt. This theory also alleges that the whole outline of the Great Sphinx, the pyramid complex in Giza as well as the Nile River reflects the location of the constellations of Leo, Orion’s Belt and the Milky Way galaxy, in that order.

What’s interesting about this theory is its suggestion that the three pyramids of Giza were precisely aligned with the three stars of the Orion’s Belt in 10,500 BC. If true, this would mean that these pyramids were constructed 12,000 years ago and not 4,500 years in the past as mainstream science has led us to believe. 

7. Eight-Sided Design of the Great Pyramid

While it may initially seem like the Great Pyramid of Giza has four sides just like most pyramids, it is the only one to have been built with eight sides and four slightly-concave faces. 

Also worth mentioning is the degree of precision required in forming all eight sides of the pyramid, with each side indented by one degree of a half-degree, which is not an easy thing to do even in modern times. 

Moreover, all sides of the Great Pyramid cannot be easily seen from the ground or even from afar, and are only visible from above. 

As for what purpose the eight-sided design of the Great Pyramid served, some say that it had the structural purpose of keeping the casing stones from loosening, while others suggest that the indentations are nothing more than the incidental consequence of erosion. Of course, there are also those who believe that multiple-sided pyramid served an astronomical purpose or that it could be a communication device between ancient Egyptians and the extraterrestrial beings that guided them in the distant past. 

Based on the seven reasons we have just enumerated, can we conclude that the pyramids in Giza prove that ancient Egyptians once possessed highly advanced technology that may very well have come from extraterrestrial sources? 
Were our ancestors far more capable than we give them credit for? We may never know.
