Making his C2C debut, author Paul Devereux(1) shared his research into unusual geophysical phenomena and anthropological sites. Natural structures were the first sacred places, he said, and probably served as inspiration for man-made structures such as the pyramids in Egypt. (He noted that there is a very large natural pyramid-shaped formation in the Valley of the Kings).
Devereux also presented his views on UFOs and paranormal phenomena. Skeptical of the notion of alien visitation, he commented that the "rigid, literal idea of ETs" has hindered our concepts of Earth's real mysteries and it limits the way we think of other phenomena.
And yet he described having a variety of paranormal-styled encounters himself over the years which included seeing an anomalous "airship" as a child in the 1950's, and a ghost-like 2-3 ft. tall figure appearing in a road. Devereux said he relates these experiences to the notion of "apparitions," adding that "the answer to these mysteries is much bigger than we dare to think."

Devereux Images

Paul Devereux, pictured in front of the Pyramid of the Sun atTeotihuacan (the mysterious, ruined 2000-year-old city in the Valley ofMexico), shares these earth and light images along with his captions (click on the titles to view the photos):

• Death Valley Ground Marking: An ancient and mysterious ground marking in a remotepart of Death Valley, California. These kind of enigmaticfeatures are found in locations all over the Americas -- the Nazca lines in Peruare merely the most famous example. We are now beginning to understand whatthey were all about -- and it wasn't to do with "ancient astronauts"! I callthem "shamanic landscapes".
  
• RitualCave of Loltun: Shows fused stalagmite/stalactites in the ancient Mayan ritualcave of Loltun: when struck they issue deep resonant notes... archaeology is beginning to listen toancient places...
• RitualCave of Balankanche: A fused stalactite/stalagmite in the ancient Mayan ritualcave of Balankanche that has the remarkable natural likeness to a tree.One-thousand-year-old incense burners surround it. Holy places started as natural, venerated sites that had something unusualabout them, and this is one example.
• Mystery Light (Photo: Project Hessdalen): A mysterious pulsing light photographed in the Norwegian valley ofHessdalen. Such mystery lights, what I call "earth lights", form anothersubject area I research and write about.
• Earth Lights: Another mystery lightform or "earth lights" photographed near the SanAndreas Fault, California, in the 1970s by physicist David Kubrin.
