G'NARE SKELETONS
UNEARTHED IN BLACK MESA
BASIN?
Chilchinbeto l Several recent
archaeological excavations in
northeastern Arizona have unveiled
more mysterious artifacts as several
dozen giant skeletons, which scientist
believe are ceremonial in nature, have
been found near the Black Mesa Basin.
The skeletons add to the fascinating
discovery of the pyramid ruins just
southwest of Chilchinbeto, where
Eastern Arizona University and the
Smithsonian have laid suppression of
the ruin.
The discovery of the skeletons lead
archaeologists from Bourne University to
believe that the remains may belong to the
ancient city of G'nare themselves, not dating
some 12,000 years ago but perhaps even
much older - some several millions years,
according to Joseph Claggart, Senior
Professor at the Clorris School of
Archaeology, Bourne University.
“The complex excavations at Black Mesa has
been completed by the discovery of these
new skeletons near Pyramid B group which
would coincide with artifacts currently
revealed. These were found outside the
Pyramid complex perimeter, according to the
dig teams, which means these skeletons are
more widespread than previously believed,"
said Professor Claggart.
The Black Mesa site which consists of a
group eight pyramid mounds of Cretaceous
sedimentary rock stones meticulously tooled
and fit and then wedged into deep ravines
may be laid out in some ceremonial religious
pattern, like Stonehenge, where
astronomical observations were made much
like the ancient ruins left by the Native
Americans scattered over the desert edges of
the Southwest.
Pyramid B group is located some nine miles
northwest of the main Pyramid A group. Some
Bourne University archaeologists surmise the
Black Mesa Basin ruins, known as G'nare, was
the capital of their civilization and tomb city,
which is mentioned in Oxford Professor Jebidiah
E. Smith's "A Commentary on the Book of
Gates" (1868).
"G'nare was the City of Tombs, the
God sphinxes of Gnar in rows
guarded it's stone gates, There
were seven beast kings who ruled
their great horde, with fearsome
claws and teeth, They were the root
of all mammals, the seed of boars,
the moose, the bear and all furred
things; And stood twice the height
of men-men who's bones made
ornaments for their ceremony."
From A Commentary on the Book of
Gates (page 124).
"Is this the great ruins of the tomb city that
was populated by these horrible beast men
Jebidiah Smith's notes tell us about? Is there
any other explanation than this proving his
book?" asked William Grannel, lead
researcher of the Book of Gates Historical
Studies, Bourne University.

According to resent unsealed records from
the Smithsonian Institution and released by
Bourne University "Smith Studies" the ruins
had been discovered in the 1970s when a
mining company working with the Navajo
nation on preserving sacred sites reported
the find. Eastern Arizona University
recognized their significance. As the ruins
were on Federal lands, the Smithsonian
suppressed the discovery until Bourne
University forced their news nearly fifty years
later.
