GREENLAND - GLACIAL
ICE MELTING REVEALS
EVIDENCE OF
ANCIENT
CIVILIZATION THAT
THRIVED LONG
BEFORE PREHISTORY,
SCIENTISTS SAY
NOAA's DCSOVR (Deep Space Climate
Observer) satellite on May 2020, while
operating within a climate study,
discovered the megalithic ruins while
passing over Greenland's northern
boundaries. Teams from the University of
Greenland and scientists from the
Denmark Ministry of Science and
Technology were dispatched to investigate
the ruins several months after and
explored the site before the polar winter.

GREENLAND - Technicians
maintaining the PROMICE weather
station near Nord, under the
supervision of the Greenland
Weather and Oceanic Branch, who
were proceeding to outlying
monitor stations near the Cape
Morris Jessup in the Roosevelt
Mountains, have uncovered the
existence of an unknown
megalithic civilization revealed by
melting glaciers on the northern
coast of Greenland.
The number of carved tunnels and
chambers containing artifacts has
suggested to archaeologists that
the find was the site of an
advanced prehistoric civilization
long before the earliest known,
according to dispatches from the
Denmark Ministry of Science and
Technology.
Scientists from the Denmark Ministry of
Science and Technology were able to enter
several of the forward tunnels of the ice
buried structures, where wall carvings and
relics were recovered.
Denmark had established the
PROMICE (Program for Monitoring
of the Greenland Ice Sheet) to
monitor the depth mass and
surface melt of the glacial
masses, with a large network of
weathering stations in large areas
of the continent to provide
melting data. This melting was
tracked by GPS and satellites. The
ruin was first discovered by the
NOAA's DCSOVR (Deep Space
Climate Observer) satellite on
May 2020, while operating within
the climate study.

unknown representation.
Within the month archaeological
teams from the University of
Greenland and scientists from the
Denmark Ministry of Science and
Technology were dispatched to
the Nord Station, some 600 miles
from the geographical North Pole
on the Princess Ingeborg
Peninsula, where several
expeditions in July 2020 reached
the location and were able to
make out an assortment of ruins,
tunnels and walls of structures
while exploring an open crevasse,
which was used to access the ruin
through ice caves.

Danish program base is manned by small
teams annually. Over twenty scientists
and other personnel have descended on
the station these last several months
flown in only by aircraft. It is the most
northern manned outpost in the world
closest to the North Pole.
Exploring several of the ice buried
structures, most fossilized into the rock
from which the city was built,
archaeologists came across etchings and
stone carvings within the frozen, ancient
corridors.
Scientists were eagerly waiting
for more clarification of what the
extent of the ancient site is using
the DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate
Observatory) on the polar orbit as
was requested to NOAA, to help
them get a better view of the
Greenland continent's ice hidden
secrets.
The Roosevelt Mountains crevasse where
the discovery was made. The ice is usually
thicker, but climatologists say due to
global warming ice melts on Greenland's
glaciers have reduced the amounts of ice
above the ground considerably, revealing
landscapes that have covered in higher ice
sheets for many hundreds of thousands of
years.
The Arctic Civilization
During a routine survey analysis
of the effect of melting ice
eroding the Roosevelt Mountain
glaciers near Pearly Land off the
northernmost coast, the
technicians made the startling
discovery of the ruins in layers of
rock that on record were not
thousands but billions of years
old. The stone ruins baffled
Greenland University's
archaeological staff as further
careful excavations revealed
large, stone monoliths of
unknown stone composition
similar to those discovered near
Ittoqqortoormiit in the previous
year.

equipment is being shipped for the
investigation as more teams arrive before
the onset of the polar winter.
Scientists are intrigued as the
Greenland Plate is a tectonic layer
of plates bounded to the west by
Nares Strait; on the southwest by
the Ungava transform underlying
Davis Strait; on the southeast by
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and
northeast by the Gakkel Ridge,
with its northwest border as yet
uninhabited. The Greenland
craton is made up of some of the
oldest rocks on Earth. The Isua
greenstone belt in southwestern
Greenland contains the oldest
known rocks on Earth dated at
3.7–3.8 billion years old,
according to geoarchaeologists.
“The fact that the remains of a
civilization were found in layers of
the earth of that age is a mind
blowing,” Dr. Jorse Marquardt of
Greenland University's
Archaeological Department said
while addressing the press and a
gathering of his academic peers
at the regional Science
Discoveries Today summit at the
Esbjerg Convention Center in
Copenhagen.
He went further to state that,
“The nature of this settlement is
largely still unknown as we are
still deep in research. However we
can say that from our findings so
far we have seen no similarities
between their culture and those
of ancient Paleo-Eskimo
Independence and Thule
civilizations that occupied the
eastern and northern parts of the
Greenland continent.”

Satellites Called In For
Space View
Leading archeologist, Claus
Arneborg, of the Department of
Prehistoric Archaeology at the
University of Denmark after
examining the DSCOVR satellite
images concluded they produced
undisputable evidence of an
advanced prehistoric civilization
beginning to be revealed under
the 1500 meter deep glacial ice
sheet.
"There are definite patterns of
public squares, walls and
buildings, which could only have
built by some sort of civilization.
Nothing here indicated any
natural formations but on the
contrary there are deliberate
patterns of scaled planned
engineering seen. There are no
doubts we have here an
undiscovered culture. The puzzle
is that Greenland was not covered
in glacial ice some 11 million
years ago, and the satellite
images show the structures on
the continental bedrock. That is
nearly a mile of ice, and we have
no plausible theories introduced
until we have further
information," he said.
"We have reason to believe there
are other ruins under Greenland's
melting icepacks. Greenland has
large regions of unexplored
wilderness that have had no
human visitation. So it is very
plausible that there yet remains
undiscovered ruins of this
mysterious culture," remarked Dr.
Arneborg.
DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observer)
Satellites managed by the NOAA have
been pressed into service to examine
Greenland's continental icesheets for
anomalies other than glacial melting. Last
year several Greenland observations were
rewarded with the discovery of the Pearly
Land Roosevelt Mountain site.
The Book of Gates Connec-
tion?
Indeed, some traction is now
being discussed on the
authenticity of the late Oxford
Professor Jebidiah E Smith's main
work, "A Commentary on the
Book of Gates" and his mention of
past civilizations and a sunken
continent that was the basis of
Earth's first lifeforms some four
billion years ago. The Book rivals
and challenges the foundations of
modern science, but some
sceptics are beginning to agree.
Artist conception of the guarding
monuments to the ruin, which some
interpret as serving a similar function as
the ancient Bronze Age peoples, when
deities in the form of idols or sphinxes
were built before the walled city gates to
bless the kingdom or warn intruders the
city was protected.
Dr. Irene Ulrich, lead philologist
also of the Bourne University also
addresses the gathering, “The
base relief found on the crumbling
walls appear to depict some form
of head dressed female with
snake arms, grasping an unknown
species of prehistoric fish”. She
went further to state that the
language form seen on several of
the walls are unlike any that she
had seen in her career and held
the firm belief that more was to
be discovered about the people
that once dwelled within the walls
of the settlement.
When asked by press if they
believed that the city was or was
the basis of the legend of the
Book of Gates and Jebidiah
Smith's "A Commentary on the
Book of Gates" 1868, Dr.
Arneborg stated, “I am more
inclined to believe that this
settlement is a basis of a legend,
we should be reminded that there
are many stories of lost or
vanishing cities. We work on fact
and not fiction or legends and the
fact is that we have only
scratched the surface of our
discovery. Many more will come”.
