WHAT ARE THOSE MYSTERIOUS SPIRAL IN EGYPTIAN DESERT ???
A geological oddity? An alien city recently discovered? A crop circle of sand? These strange cones and holes in the ground seem to be a curious phenomenon esoteric appeared in the arid desert of Egypt.
The official explanation is very simple, but some suspect that there's more.

Archaeologists have known since 1919 that Easter Island's heads have bodies. Did you?
THE giant stone statues scattered around remote Easter Island are even more impressive than they first appear. Hidden from view, the heads are attached to bodies that extend metres underground.

Maya found a tablet with reference to 2012!
The archaeologists of the National Institute of Anthropology and History said that among the Mayan ruins was found a second reference in footnote apocalypse of 2012. The Institute would find out the date of the Apocalypse carved on a brick in the ruins of Comalcalco in southern Mexico. This is a test that enriches the only one found so far, that is a stone tablet found in the archaeological site of Tortuguero in the state of Tabasco. A spokesman for the Institute, Arturo Mendez, reported that the fragment, known as "Brick Comalcalco" was found some years ago, and was the subject of detailed study. When would you kept in a safe place at the Institute. The brick and tablet Comalcalco Tortuguero were recorded at least 1,300 years ago, and both hide a cryptic message. According to David Stuart, a specialist in Mayan epigraphy at the University of Texas at Austin, the date engraved on the brick is a "Calendar Round", a combination of day and location of the month, which is repeated every 52 years. ' The date coincides with the end of Baktun 13. The Baktun were approximately 394-year periods and the number 13 was sacred and meaningful to the Maya. The Mayan Long Count calendar begins in 3114 BC and the 13th Baktun ends around December 21 2012.L 'membership in the tablet Tortuguero describes something that should take place in 2012 and involving Yokte Bolon, a mysterious Mayan god associated with both the war that the creation. The fact is that erosion is the crack in the stone made the end of the passage almost illegible, even if in some glyphs can be read "He shall descend from heaven." The brick Comalcalco, for its part, is also very strange in that, the brick containing the inscriptions, covered with stucco, was set facing the inside of the wall, not visible to observers Esterino, suggesting that he should not be seen. The National Institute of Anthropology and History has long said that the rumors about the end or change the world, an event which should coincide in late December 2012, is a misinterpretation of the Mayan calendars from the West. Given the strength with which circulate on the internet rumors of an impending disaster in 2012, the Institute is organizing a meeting of experts at the Mayan archaeological site of Palenque in southern Mexico, to clarify 'some doubts about the end of a' period and the beginning of another, according to the Mayan calendar '.

Chile: fossil whale discoveries in the Atacama Desert
SANTIAGO, Chile -- More than 2 million years ago, scores of whales congregating off the Pacific Coast of South America mysteriously met their end.
Maybe they became disoriented and beached themselves. Maybe they were trapped in a lagoon by a landslide or a storm. Maybe they died there over a period of a few millennia. But somehow, they ended up right next to one another, many just meters (yards) apart, entombed as the shallow sea floor was driven upward by geological forces and transformed into the driest place on the planet.
Today, they have emerged again atop a desert hill more than a kilometer (half a mile) from the surf, where researchers have begun to unearth one of the world's best-preserved graveyards of prehistoric whales.
Chilean scientists together with researchers from the Smithsonian Institution are studying how these whales, many of the them the size of buses, wound up in the same corner of the Atacama Desert.
"That's the top question," said Mario Suarez, director of the Paleontological Museum in the nearby town of Caldera, about 700 kilometers (440 miles) north of Santiago, the Chilean capital.
Experts say other groups of prehistoric whales have been found together in Peru and Egypt, but the Chilean fossils stand out for their staggering number and beautifully preserved bones. More than 75 whales have been discovered so far – including more than 20 perfectly intact skeletons.
They provide a snapshot of sea life at the time, and even include what might have been a family group: two adult whales with a juvenile between them.
"I think they died more or less at the same time," said Nicholas Pyenson, curator of fossil marine mammals at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Pyenson and Suarez are jointly leading the research.
As for why such a great number perished in the same place, Pyenson said: "There are many ways that whales could die, and we're still testing all those different hypotheses."
The scientists have yet to publish their findings about the fossil bed and the extensive remains, which began to emerge in June last year during a highway-widening project that is now on hold.
So far, the fossils have been found in a roadside strip the length of two football fields – about 240 meters (260 yards) long and 20 meters (yards) wide.
Pyenson said the spot was once a "lagoon-like environment" and that the whales probably died between 2 million and 7 million years ago.
Most of the fossils are baleen whales that measured about 8 meters (25 feet) long, Pyenson said.
The researchers also discovered a sperm whale skeleton and remains of a now-extinct dolphin that had two walrus-like tusks and previously had only turned up in Peru, he said.
"We're very excited about that," Pyenson said in a telephone interview. "It is a very bizarre animal."
Other unusual creatures found elsewhere in the fossil-rich Atacama Desert include an extinct aquatic sloth and a seabird with a 5-meter (17-foot) wingspan, bigger than a condor's.
Erich Fitzgerald, a vertebrate paleontologist at Museum Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, emailed that the latest find is very significant.
"The fossils are exceptionally well preserved and quite complete – a rare combination in paleontology and one that will likely shed light on many facets of the ... ecology and evolution of these extinct species," Fitzgerald said.
He said it's possible "these fossilized remains may have accumulated over a relatively long period of time."
Hans Thewissen, an expert on early whales, agreed. Another scenario, he said, is that the whales might have gathered in a lagoon and then an earthquake or storm could have closed off the outlet to the ocean.
"Subsequently the lagoon dries up and the whales die," said Thewissen, a professor of anatomy at Northeast Ohio Medical University. He said the accumulation of so many complete skeletons is "a very unusual situation."
"If this were a lagoon that dried up, you might see signs that ocean water evaporated," such as crystallized salt and gypsum in the rock, said Thewissen, who is not involved in the research. "On the other hand, if a giant wave or storm flung the whales onto shore, it would also have pushed the ocean floor around, and you would see scour marks in the rocks."
Dating fossils is complicated, experts said, and it will be very hard to distinguish dates precisely enough to determine whether the whales all died simultaneously.
The researchers have been told to finish their onsite studies so that fossils can be moved out of the path of the widened Pan American Highway, or Route 5, which is Chile's main north-south road.
Many of the fossils have been transported in plaster coverings to the museum in Caldera. Researchers from Chile's National Museum of Natural History are also studying the fossils.
Pyenson and his team are working quickly under tents to document the intact skeletons. With funding from the National Geographic Society, the Smithsonian team is using sophisticated photography and laser scanners to capture 3D images of the whales that can later be used to make life-sized models of them.
Suarez, the paleontologist, had long known about the whale bones just north of Caldera – they could be seen jutting out of the sandstone ridge alongside the highway at the spot known as Cerro Ballena, or Whale Hill. When the road work began last year, the construction company asked him to monitor the job to avoid destroying fossils.
"In the first week, about six or seven whales appeared," Suarez said. "We realized that it was a truly extraordinary site."
The Chilean government has declared the site a protected zone, and Pyenson said he hopes a museum will be built to showcase the intact skeletons where they lie, in the same way fossils are displayed at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah and Colorado.
Suarez thinks there are probably fossils of hundreds of whales waiting to be uncovered – enough to keep him working at this one spot for the rest of his life.
"We have a unique opportunity to develop a great scientific project and make a great contribution to science," he said.
Satellites reveal lost cities in Libya
Satellite imagery has revealed evidence of a lost Saharan civilisation in Libya’s south-western desert.
With the fall of Gaddafi opening the way for archaeologists to explore the country’s pre-Islamic heritage, a British team has discovered more than 100 fortified farms and villages with castle-like structures and several towns, most dating from between AD 1 and 500.
The cities were built by a little-known ancient civilisation called the Garamantes, who turn out to be far more advanced and historically significant than ancient sources suggested.
The University of Leicester team has identified the mud brick remains of castle-like complexes, with walls still standing up to four metres high. They've also found traces of dwellings, cairn cemeteries, associated field systems, wells and sophisticated irrigation systems.
"These settlements had been unremarked and unrecorded under the Gaddafi regime," says project leader David Mattingly.
They were highly civilised, living in large-scale fortified settlements, predominantly as oasis farmers. It was an organised state with towns and villages, a written language and state of the art technologies. The Garamantes were pioneers in establishing oases and opening up trans-Saharan trade."
The research was halted in February when the anti-Gaddafi revolt started, but should resume soon. The Libyan antiquities department, badly under-resourced under Gaddafi, is closely involved in the project.
"It is a new start for Libya’s antiquities service and a chance for the Libyan people to engage with their own long-suppressed history," says Mattingly.
"These represent the first towns in Libya that weren’t the colonial imposition of Mediterranean people such as the Greeks and Romans. The Garamantes should be central to what Libyan school children learn about their history and heritage."
Similar satellite mapping techniques have also been used to identify lost pyramids in Egypt and atchaeological sites in Saudi Arabia.
