City above the Clouds By Jonathan Gray (International Field Arachaeologist)

I invite you to come with me, now, on an adventure youll never forget. What awaits you is an amazing journey as you come face to face with a weird world of seemingly endless questions In 1531, Spanish adventurers came to the faraway land of the Inca empire, looking for treasure. Led by Pizarro, they advanced from the coast, across the desert and toward the Andes mountains. From their mountain kingdom the Incas watched the advance of these strangers and permitted them to approach in peace. Had they been inclined, the Incas might easily have waylaid this insignificant group of foreigners and wiped them out quickly. But the Incas allowed them to progress across the desert and into the green foothills of their empire. It will help us to understand the situation if we realise that honesty was an integral part of Inca society. Each year, men were called from their farms to labor for the government for a few months. In return, they were well looked after. When a family was absent from their house for a length of time, they simply angled a stick across their ever-open front door as a sign of their absence and they could be certain that no stranger would ever violate their property. Trusting others was a way of life. So the weary visitors were hospitably received. The Inca himself came part way to meet the small band of strangely-dressed Spaniards. Pizarro and his fortune seekers were invited into the Inca camp. They were offered food on vessels of gold and silver which, to the Inca, were common metals. At the sight of such wealth, Pizarros greed spilled over.

Pizarro determined to take advantage of the unsuspicious simplicity with which the Inca trusted him. So he invited the Inca the next day to be HIS guest. Next day, the Inca took all morning to get ready, adorning himself in his greatest splendor and magnificence for his meeting with Pizarro. Then, he set out, preceded by heralds and musicians, and attended by the Virgins of the Sun who strewed their emperors road with flowers. The Inca arrived, sitting on a throne covered with plates of gold and silver enriched with precious stones and carried on the shoulders of attendants. Pizarros men were waiting to ambush the royal personage. The Peruvians, astonished and defenceless, were cut down in hundreds. And the Inca himself was seized. At first the people could hardly believe what had happened. The monarch was tossed into a small prison cell. Soon he was to learn how greedy his captors were for gold. Pizarro visited the Inca in his cell. He promised the Inca that if his subjects would fill up the room with gold, up to a line drawn near the ceiling, the Inca would then be set free. The Inca responded, sending messages throughout the land. His subjects stripped the temples and palaces. The prison cell was filled up to the line with gold. In his kindness, Pizarro thanked the Inca for being so generous and said he would do him a favor in return. The Inca would not die by burning (as was a pagans fate), but he would be strangled instead a more merciful reward. And with the Inca died the empire. It is claimed that his subjects, suddenly awakening to the greed of the Spaniards, gathered most of their gold and hid it in underground tunnels. So that barely ten per cent of the Inca gold was ever found and seized.

This ten per cent was shipped to Europe. But most of the galleons transporting this gold were sunk by the British and others, as it made its way across the Atlantic. So that only about ten per cent of that shipped gold ever reached Europe. But even then, that small fraction of Inca gold was sufficient to swell Europes gold wealth by 1,000 per cent. The descendants of the once great empire today live simply as did their ancestors. But socially and economically they remain poor. The most common trait of the Andes Indian is SADNESS. As the Spaniards tramped up and down through the land looking for gold, there was one special place they missed Machu Picchu, a city suspended in the clouds. Here were secrets the Spaniards never saw. And there were other hidden valleys that they never found. WHY THE ARCHAEOLOGIST GASPED Would you like to know why American archaeologist Hyatt Verrill gasped when he came upon one such a hidden valley in the Andes? "It is a human impossibility," he exclaimed. You are probably wondering, what did this archaeologist discover which he thought was impossible? In case you have not seen the Andes mountains of South America, let me paint a picture for you. The giant mountains of the Peruvian Andes are awesome enough until one gazes up those extremely perilous slopes and perceives death-defying ruins perched on the summits. The setting is terrifyingly wild mountains miles high vanishing into the sky, notched with narrow ledges, slashed with ravines and bottomless gorges. Its so dramatically beautiful, you couldnt help but love it! Waterfalls of an awesome beauty plunge from these immaculate snowy peaks, down into the damp, unknown depths of the canyons. So rare is the air that even the mules are obliged to stop about every ten paces to catch their breath.

Here, "at the frontiers of the impossible," a vanished civilization set gems in stone astoundingly assembled polygonal walls suspended over the abyss! They carved practically vertical stairways up stupendous precipices. High in the clouds rises one acrobatic stairway of 64 steps, which had to be carved in a place where one could get only a toehold for support. (Another comprises 600 steps.) Can you imagine it! These ingenious "jewelers" in rock ascended a dizzying mountain "no wider than the blade of a sword" and topped it with watchtowers and walls pierced with lookouts. The mountain drops away so abruptly that if a workman slipped his body would not be stopped for 3,000 feet. Doesnt that fill you with wonder? And these things are still there for you to see! Today on all sides, the ruins of temples, fortresses and towers surmount the peaks and cling to the vertical sides of the canyon like ivy. Overlooking a waterfall, a splendid palace rises above the fierce abyss impossible to reach. You may well ask, how was this palace built? Terraces were miraculously inlaid into vertical slopes, perched over the canyon fault. I ask you, how did they hoist up heavy, carved rocks by the thousands? Site after site is built atop bluffs, which are too steep to be accessible. Many seem to have been literally hurled up as though the monstrous stones flew there. ANCIENT RUINS HIGH ABOVE THE CANYON Anyway, as I said, the Spaniards tramped through gorges like this, looking for treasure. My favorite is the Urabamba River canyon. It twists and curls between awesome mountains on its way to the distant Amazon

basin. High above, in the clouds, on a razor-back, with the canyon curling around it on three sides, was a pre-Inca fortress. The Incas had built a little city up there over the ruins of the old. At 9,000 feet above sea level, you cant see it if youre down in the gorge 2,000 feet below. HIDING PLACE OF THE VIRGINS? It is thought that the Inca Virgins of the royal palace were finally hustled away to this spot so that the Spaniards would not find them. Most of the graves that have been found are those of females. You zigzag your way up from the canyon round a bend climb a wall stride ahead between two old stone buildings.. AND THERE IT IS! Suddenly you are aware of a silence so complete you can hear the Urubamba River flowing 2,000 feet below. The silence sharpens your imagination You can almost see Pizzaros men marching along the river, searching unsuccessfully for Machu Picchu and its treasure. Two thousand feet above them is the city in the clouds. Safe. Unseen. You mourn as one by one the inhabitants of this hidden city die out and the jungle slowly covers Machu Picchu for 400 long years. It will sleep, hidden by the jungle until 1911 to be discovered then by Hiram Bingham. Now you can explore its houses temples tombs peer down from its watchtowers. It is almost as it was when lived in by the Children of the Sun the military walls the round tower the house compounds and houses the ceremonial buildings the flights of thousands of steps which form the steep streets and the conduits of bright mountain water, with the complicated system of stone water basins. All as they were made.

You notice the terraces, formed with astonishing skill before they drop into sheer precipices. POISONOUS? I will never forget that morning. I awoke beside the ruins and went in to explore. On those ancient terraces, now cleared, I saw what looked like strawberries. Were they safe to eat? I tried just one and restrained myself not to eat another for half an hour until I could be sure of the effect. Then, feeling safe, I was soon on hands and knees in fact, for the next hour or two. That was the biggest feed of strawberries I had ever enjoyed. After 400 years did they taste good! An iridescent blue butterfly flitted up from the canyon and winged around the sundial. Throughout the steep precipice area surrounding Machu Picchu are literally hundreds of miles of stone terracing for ancient agriculture. many of them terraces which hang over the cliffs. Daring? You can say that again! Let me give you another example. Still higher above Machu Picchu towers a steep pinnacle. If you look carefully you will see death-defying terraces perched on that vertical peak. A high, carved niche opens out over the abyss. Under a ridge, shaped like the letter I, the rock was leveled and encrusted with carefully joined stone cubes. Only a daring mountaineer hanging from a rope could possibly reach it. Those builder magicians, I tell you, had no sense of the impossible. Everywhere loom buildings that defy the laws of equilibrium and gravity as well as vertigo. These are a triumph of human daring and of a technology which almost smacks of science fiction. I tell you, these people did not know the impossible.

Many gigantic blocks are covered with intricate carvings. No man alive could duplicate such carvings with the stone tools we find. Perhaps you can understand now why Hyatt Verrill remarks, "It is not a question of skill, patience, time it is a human impossibility." I entered one of the houses perched atop the precipice and looked down into the canyon far below. What a great view from your bedroom window! But you wouldnt want to go sleep walking! Machu Picchu forgotten in time. For sheer majesty the setting of this little city far surpasses them all. , I invite you to come with me, now, on an adventure youll never forget.

THE FROZEN AIRCRAFT SHOCK Youre kidding! laughed the lab worker. Only 4,400 years ago! Yes, quipped Kent. The surface of this whole planet was remodelled by the Flood only 4,400 years ago. No way! In case you dont know, Dr. Hovind, I work at the Denver National Ice Core Laboratory here in Colorado. And weve been taking cores of ice from Greenland and Antarctica. Its dry very cold the glaciers are MILES THICK but their annual growth rings are very THIN. He paused to observe Kents reaction. Then he thrust home. Weve measured the ice and I tell you, man, its 135,000 years old! Your 4,000 years is a joke. Id like to see your lab, said Kent, calmly. The next day my friend Kent met the worker at the lab. The employee ushered him into the giant freezer which stored the long cores from ice drilling. See this core from Greenland? said the worker. We drilled down and brought it up from 10,000 feet. See

the rings? This core takes us back 135,000 years. Youll notice the rings along its length dark light dark light. Well, these represent annual rings, because in summer the top layer of snow melts and then re-freezes as clear ice, which shows up dark here. In winter, the snow doesnt get a chance to melt, so it packs and shows up as a white layer. These layers of dark light dark light, indicate 135,000 summers and winters. Hovind looked him in the eye. Arent you assuming those are annual rings? Lets step back a few years to the famous lost squadron. THE LOST SQUADRON In 1942, during World War II, some war planes landed in Greenland. When the war ended, those planes were left there and forgotten. In 1990, an aircraft enthusiast came up with the bright idea to find them and fly them off again. He organised a group and they went searching. As it turned out, they had to use radar, because the planes were under the ice in fact, so deep under the ice, the men had a hard job finding them. Do you know, that lost squadron had got covered by 263 feet of ice in 48 years! Lets do some arithmetic. * 263 feet divided by 48 years thats an ice growth of about 5.5 feet per year. * Now divide 10,000 feet by 5.5. And you get 1,824 years for ALL of the ice to build up. We should allow longer for the fact that the deeper ice is pressed into finer layers.

Note: those planes did not sink into the ice, due to pressure on the ice. The ice had grown OVER them. ARE THESE ANCIENT AIRCRAFT IN ICE? Okay, would you do some maths? Can Would you work this out, ? The Denver National Ice Core Laboratory said that 10,000 feet of ice had to be 135,000 years old! So the 263 feet deep of Lost Squadron ice - how old should that be? Thats right 3,419 years old. Does that mean those aircraft are 3,419 years old? What do you think? HERE COMES THE SEQUEL In April, 1999, Kent visited Bob Cardin at his museum in Middleboro, Kentucky. Cardin had dug out and was restoring the P-38. You may be wondering, how did they get that plane out? Ingenious. They had melted a hole down to the airplane, broken it apart and brought up the pieces through the hole. When you dug it out, asked Kent, did you see any layers of ice dark light dark Yeah, I did, as a matter of fact. How many layers of ice were there? Many hundreds of them. HUNDREDS OF RINGS IN 48 YEARS? How could there be many hundreds of annual rings in only 48 years? THOSE ARE NOT ANNUAL RINGS. Thats not summer and winter, replied Cardin. Its warm cold warm cold warm cold. You can get ten of those in one day.

And thats a fact! Yet, the scientific elite was still calling them annual rings in 1998. (See Scientific American, February 1998, p.82). Somebodys either ignorant or lying. Im worried. The textbooks you read today are textbooks not only about science, but about evolution. Theyre trying to sneak evolution in with the science. Sneaking beer ads in with football matches doesnt mean beer is football. Sneaking evolution in with the science, doesnt make it science. Are you keen to know more about this? Heres a place to go: http://www.beforeus.com/third.php Hey, its great to have the opportunity to speak with you, . Thanks for being on my email list. Warm regards Jonathan Gray Well, , I have this amazing report to share with you. And honestly, am I glad that I sent out that Adult Stem Cell information a few months ago. Why? Because some astonishing things have been happening to people who got that email and acted upon it. And ever since, I've been receiving such wonderful emails and phone calls from all over the world, from people who took my advice, and whose lives are so much better - in such a brief time! EXPLOSIVE REACTION

Look, there were people whose eyesight was going. And others who lacked energy. Or who suffered from some other health issue. Really, it's almost unbelievable, the dramatic turn around in so many peoples' health! And that makes me ever so happy! You know the old saying, The proof of the pudding is in the eating? To be honest with you, almost daily I am receiving excited, real life testimonials from people who have just got started - or only been trying it for a few months since my email went out. WHAT AN AMAZING THING! Yes, I am convinced now that this is the greatest health breaththrough in 100 years. How wonderful! It's not a drug... not a medicine... not a medical treatment. Your own body fixes itself! Can you think of anything better than that? You see, Adult Stem Cell nutrition gets your own body to trigger the release from your bone marrow of millions of brand new Adult Stem Cells into the bloodstream. And what do these do? They go searching for "S.O.S." ("Help me!") signals being sent out by any organ in distress. Immediately they head for that organ and turn themselves into brand new replacement cells of that particular organ. Yes, your own wonderful body is able to do this! What a discovery breakthrough! If you ask me, that's absolutely astonishing? CLINICALLY PROVEN

And so StemEnhance is starting to create the BIGGEST Paradigm Shift the Health Sphere has seen in the last 100 years. You may not be aware of this, but the FACTS are now in and they have been CLINICALLY PROVEN and published in a Peer Review Medical Journal titled: " Cardiovascular Revascularization Medical Journal". But you may be wondering, Just how did they discover for certain that your body could do this? It came about because of another surprise discovery - the discovery of the "Fluorescent Jelly Fish". The Scientist involved took the fluorescent protein from the jelly fish and put it into the adult stem cell nuclei. Then these cells were injected into a person that had a liver problem - and he watched the fluorescence move through the body. To his excitement, those fluorescent adult stem cells all went to the liver to repair it. Then he tested it with other sick body organs. The same thing happened. You can go to www.amazon.com and purchase both of Christian Drapeau's books: (1.) The Stem Cell Theory of Renewal and (2.) CRACKING THE STEM CELL CODE. MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL SLOW TO WAKE UP Yes, it is normal for the Medical community to drag their feet and be slow to accept such a profound discovery. History has proven that the Medical community even doubted the need for a surgeon washing his hands between operations. Then, when the microscope was invented and the person saw all kinds of things that he/she had never seen before - when suddenly the micro world came into view, so now the Medical Community HAD to look at this information.

Again, can you imagine how many people died because doctors recommended "VIOX" before they finally decided to take it off the market! But how many Doctors asked for the clinical research before they started prescribing this "Killer Drug"? And yes, this is only one drug among MANY that has the same history: Killing Patients!! By contrast, this new Adult Stem Cell breakthrough is a 100% NATURAL PRODUCT!!!

WHY THE LABELS ON DRUGS? Now ask yourself, Jonathan, why do ALL drugs have the following statement written on the label of their product?: "This product may cause: 1. nausea, 2. vomiting and 3. diarrhea." Why is this written on each bottle of drugs? Answer: Because it is a "POISON"!! If you were to drink some insecticide or other type of poison you would likely start vomiting profusely. Why? Because the body is trying to 'REJECT" it!! That is a protective device we have built into our wonderful bodies. Now consider this: When a person takes in the drug, then what organs are responsible for getting the drug processed can be excreted from the body? Answer: The liver and the kidneys have this massive job to do. (But, in the mean time, all the drugs did was: " TREAT THE SYMPTOMS"!! - not the cause!! When doctors give diabetics insulin they are actually causing the pancreas to QUIT producing insulin and then the pancreas becomes DEPENDENT on the insulin.

A MUCH BETTER WAY

Now here's a better answer: Why not let one's own adult stem cells repair the pancreas gland which it is fully capable of doing? Says my friend Dennis: "I am 76 years old and have ENJOYED over 25 improvements in my personal health issues." That's what Adult Stem Cells do. Please, please, do not take any of my statements as something directed personally to you. That is NOT my intent. I am simply trying to inform people what an awesome thing is this relatively new Stem Cell breakthrough - called: StemEnhance. When a person takes two capsules they will have an increase of 3 to 4 MILLION new adult stem cells that have migrated from their OWN bone marrow to their blood stream which carries the Adult Stem Cells to every organ of the body. THIS IS FACT!! Yes, and it only takes 40 to 60 minutes for all this to happen. StemEnhance does not cure any disease; it only gets the Adult Stem Cells to leave the bone marrow and move into the circulatory system. You have to agree that this is the BIGGEST DISCOVERY OF THE CENTURY!!! The discoverer, Christian Drapeau, is being interviewed worldwide. He has been picked up by the Health Department of the countries he visits and they rush him off to Medical Hospitals to talk with the Medical Doctors and Medical Students about this awesome discovery. He is accepted as the "World's Greatest Adult Stem Cell Scientist". ARE YOU SUFFERING? would you really like to feel better - even live longer? HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT

It is not too late. To benefit from this yourself, please watch this 10-minute video then decide for yourself: http://www.adultstemcells-nz.com/simple%20registration.htm
