Florida Archaeology

New Developments On A People Of The Sea

2010-04-16T02:07:00.000-07:00

Florida has ancient seaside civilizations that through time evolved with the climate. Very ancient finds look very similar. In this video I found a barnacle filled piece that is very common from a really ancient time. The ocean than covered the civilization. Wave action and other natural phenomena has brought this stuff to shore. I believe it to be a vital archaeological link to what many call Atlantis. I would call it just a lost or unknown civilization probably similar to the AIS people.

Artifact Size

2010-04-09T13:41:00.000-07:00

There seems to be some objects that all follow a similar size pattern.

An Example Of Ais Writing

2010-04-09T12:36:00.001-07:00

I found some of the formed usual suspects, but one piece has an inscription on it.

Ays Ancient Kettle

2010-03-15T09:26:00.000-07:00

An amazing find to say the least.

Layered Carving

2010-02-19T15:38:00.001-08:00

It is strange how the AIs carve a raised relief into stone. Check that out in this video.

An Eye Turns Into A Smile?

2010-02-19T14:52:00.001-08:00

That is exactly what happens in this video.

Face Fishing Weights?

2010-02-19T14:25:00.000-08:00

This is a strange enigma that face carvings had multi utility functions. Check out this video.

Ancient Hat History

2010-02-19T13:08:00.000-08:00

The Ais seem to carve hats into their stones. Few people talk about the origins of certain hats but it is clear that hats were important back in the day.

Facial Expressions Pave The Way To The Future?

2010-01-21T05:41:00.000-08:00

The expressions on the Ais carvings seem to imply a pre atlantean civilization far more technology advanced than ours. Maybe this was preserved secretly through Caribbean black magic. But you be the judge of that. Check out this video.

The Bigger They Are The Harder They Fall Into Place

2009-12-26T09:23:00.000-08:00

Bigger objects are often over looked because people are always looking for some small piece. Huge grind stones exist that were used in the center of cities by thousands of people. The average on looker may think it is just a stone with a strange holes or a dent. Bigger is always better to check out than not. Check out some large (and small) objects in this video.

Object Utility

2009-12-26T09:07:00.000-08:00

There seems to be a deep misunderstanding of people from the past. In reality their civilizations were often of greater technological and spiritual advancement than our own. Just because we have trouble finding utility in their things and discarded garbage does not mean that these artifacts are only useless objects. Conscience and spirituality dictates that they probably possessed powers and extreme utility versus much of what we see today in our lives that is far removed from the dark science and secret societies today. What is hidden is always the truth. Hidden information from artifacts often gives us vital clues to important concepts like a civilizations contact with aliens from outer space, their psychic abilities, time travel through conciseness , higher powers and other things that concern me in particular. Often if we open our eyes to magical powers and realize that they do exist and science proves it, the more amazed we can be from these stones. What do you think? Check out this video.

Depictions Of Food, Spirituality, Nature And Duality

2009-12-26T09:02:00.001-08:00

There is a strange thing that happens to people who are plugged into nature. They realize how important and amazing everything is. That can be displayed in these carvings. In this video it takes on faces, a fish and many other things. There is also a finer detail of holes of special significance both symbolically, astrological, and as a form of writing probably similar to what we do today. Communication is key and they were good at it for sure.

When Carvings Live Under The Sea

2009-12-26T08:57:00.000-08:00

Through time the sea level changes. This covers and uncovers things. The waves wash stuff in and take stuff on the shore out. These continuous processes brought in this amazing face carving. I share it here in video. There is sea weed growing out of it and a sea urchin as well that calcified to this object. In spite all of this the face remains as a testimony to ancient civilization and their amazing stories and life ways.

Common Themes

2009-11-25T06:29:00.000-08:00

When things relate to each other one must wonder if there is some kind of parallel. In this video the piece is a symbolic carving, tool, and some other things all in one. I wonder what was it intended for, how it was used, and why it was made using common themes.

Ais Writing

2009-11-25T04:52:00.000-08:00

Symbolic communication is the basis of how we communicate now on paper. People have been communicating symbolically since the beginning of their existence. This video shows a form of writing, art, communication, astronomy, spirituality and more all wraped into one amazing piece.

The Concept Of Lock And Key

2009-11-24T03:13:00.001-08:00

Back in the day people had a better understanding of the interconnectedness of everything. We can see this in their writing, art and society. What really gets me is what I call purpose art. This art exists in what we would now refer to a symbolic realm but I believe its real purpose was to unlock something deeper. Whether it be technology or merely a deeper conscienceness I can see it in ancient art. Below is a video of an amazing multiform piece that I would categorize as a lock and key concept. It is a bird, a face and many other things all connected but with different emotions. Different directions, different signs. They understood the soul and the universe that is evident. No one today could achieve something so powerful or important unless they tap into the ancient wisdom.

Ancient Black Metal Technology

2009-11-24T03:08:00.000-08:00

We have a hard time comprehending much of the lost technology that was available to people. We do know it was significant. Metals made their way around the globe and were used for a variety of purposes. Sometimes they melted metals together, pounded them, changed the charges and created all kinds of things. There is even speculation that aircraft existed. What do you think?

Rocks With Holes In Them

2009-11-24T03:05:00.000-08:00

Jewelry, anchors, fish weights, and the list goes on. Rocks are useful things. Put a hole in them, string them on a line and you can develop complex tools, spiritual pieces and other things. This video shows a rock that I suspect is related to fishing on the ocean, but I could be wrong. Do your own research and suggest to us what it could be.

Arrowhead, Carving, Hook, Spear Or What

2009-11-24T03:01:00.000-08:00

Some things are simply hard to classify. This has largely to do with an unfamiliarity that I have with the life ways of people ages ago. Explanations can be reached with similar parallel pieces that give me answers. In this video I suspect the piece to be a tool, or figurine carving. There is definitely symbolism laid into the piece.

Friction Fires

2009-11-10T22:26:00.000-08:00

Drilling into a rock with some object creates friction, heat and sparks. From that is born fire. The stone in this video may be a fire stone. Notice that both sides of it the holes are in the exact location.

Ays Turkey ?

2009-11-08T19:37:00.000-08:00

This piece is probably not a turkey but it sure looks like it. Watch the whole video as I try to explore the many forms in this art piece.

Ays Perception And Art

2009-11-08T19:09:00.000-08:00

Art and perception often speak to each other. The Ays were a very perceptive and spiritual people. Their artwork is a very strong testament to this.

Ays And Animals

2009-10-27T13:25:00.000-07:00

Animals play a big part in the lives of the Ays. They as a result made different metal works and stone works to animals for probably both spiritual and non spiritual reasons. This video starts off with me talking about a bird piece. Eventually I show an amazing silver Ays head that is worth noting.

Ays Face Carving Comparison

2009-10-26T10:15:00.000-07:00

The Ays of east central Florida make some interesting head carvings. In this video I compare two that I found. If you have any documented idea as to their purpose please leave a comment.

Megafauna Hunting In Florida

2009-10-15T06:14:00.000-07:00

Even though large animals still exist today like many common sea mammals not long ago many now extinct species co existed with the people in Florida. As a result these people needed big tools to deal with hunting the big animals. In this video I go over a rather large head of some kind of harpoon or spear like weapon.

Ais Stone Heads

2009-10-07T16:52:00.001-07:00

The Ais are known for making some amazing stone heads. In this video I talk about a small one. This particular form is a common widespread Ais artifact on the Treasure Coast of Florida. I am still researching the significance of the heads be it religious, societal or other. My suspicions is that these heads were extremely important in the Ais society.

Copper Ais Artifact

2009-10-05T19:24:00.001-07:00

In central Florida the group of people that are now collectively referred to as Ais. This interesting people lived on the treasure coast with a mystery language thought to originate up in the Mississippi area. This artifact is a piece of copper collected on the beach. Tell me what you think.

Shell Fish Hooks

2009-09-21T22:56:00.000-07:00

Shell fish hooks are made very similar to arrow heads out of shell. Check it out how the incorporation of high quality shell material makes an amazing tool.

The Origion Of The American Harpoon

2009-09-21T22:16:00.000-07:00

There are many ancient harpoons made out of a variety of materials distributed throughout the world. In this video I found a coral harpoon on the beach. Take a look.
