MAYAN COLONISTS OF THE HUNTERDISTRICTAND BEYONDNEW EVIDENCE.

By Rex Gilroy.Copyright Rex Gilroy 2013.

n previous newsletters I have revealed the discovery of a crumbling Mayan-style ceremonial pyramid andfading Mayan rock art at a Hunter Valley region bushland location. This and another site containing

deteriorated stone pyramidal structures and rock engravings, found at another nearby location, match two

similar terraced pyramids at the Cooktown region Mayan colony, discovered by Heather and I in 2000. These,and the first Hunter Valley pyramid discovered, possess crumbling stairways leading to the summits on thesouth side.

For some time since the discovery of the Hunter Valley district pyramid, which took place onThursday 10th June 2010, I have been searching for traces of ancient settlement in the region. I had alsodeveloped the theory that the colonists gradually spread their farming activities westward, following theHunter River into the Goulbourn River in search of more good farming soil for their crops, the seeds havingbeen transported from Mexico on their fleets of balsa sailed rafts.

I theorised that their westward explorations would have brought them through the Munghorn Rangeinto the open country west of present-day Mudgee.

I now have evidence supporting this belief.

The Mayan civilisation began in Mexico around 2000 BCE and lasted until 900AD. Their golden agebegan around 250AD and lasted until their demise, during which besides a written language, they developedtheir astronomical calendar and a sophisticated mathematical knowledge second to none.

They also expanded their culture into the Pacific following seasonal drift-currents, settling far-flungislands where megalithic monuments of Mayan style stand hidden in jungle.

As I have already stated in previous newsletters, of relics of Mayan origin, and ceremonial steppedpyramids of Mayan style, are to be found in Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and India, suggesting Mayancross-Pacific voyages may have reached those lands, colonising them for a time, during which they sharedelements of their culture with the locals.

They certainly left traces in New Zealand, and in Tasmania where, during November 2011 Heatherand I turned up a number of rock engravings and small stone images.

The Cooktown-Atherton-Cairns colony was established around 2,000 years ago, and grew to such anextent that its population was large enough to found new settlements elsewhere along the Queensland coast,as well as in the Ballina district of north coastal New South Wales.

It may have been about this time that voyages of exploration southward found Newcastle Harbourand a large settlement grew, apparently into a kingdom, for the Hunter Valley pyramid rock inscriptions speakof locally-appointed rulers descended from the Sun, who were concerned with the growing of crops andfarming local wildlife for food.

One of these rulers was named King Beb-ku.If any traces of the main seat of government has survived the spread of modern civilisation at

Newcastle it will be hard to find, although the Hunter Valley pyramid site promises further discoveries, and itis certain from a rock inscription that Beb-ku Ma [Ma meaning King] journeyed there to officiate in

ceremonies linked with Sun and Moon worship.The Mayan colonists of Australia arrived in Cooktown with their homeland culture, which for

generations perhaps they kept intact, particularly their written script. However, certain deities of theirMexican homeland would be discarded or replaced, such as the Jaguar God, Balam. The Hunter Valleypyramid inscriptions speak of Kimi, the King of Life AND Death and the great Lord of the Underworldas in oldMexico. The pyramid itself bears the title Pyramid-Temple of Kukulkan [ie the Feathered Serpent,meaning a Sun-worshipping people who arrived in sailed watercraft].

Beyond the far north Queensland kingdom the original culture and its artworks, including writing,gradually became watered down over generations cut off from the Mexican homeland. This simplified rockart has been found by Heather and I at a Hawkesbury River location, and it has spread west of the Hunter

Valley pyramid settlement further inland, as our latest discoveries show.

*****On Tuesday 6th August 2013 Heather and I resumed our search for evidence supporting Mayan

penetration west of the Hunter Valley.Driving east through the Munghorn Range we stopped the car at one point when I got another of my

famous psychic hunches. Exploring a gum forest I came upon a flat area where I encountered remains of

apparent ancient agricultural ditches. Having photographed these I climbed a steep hillside on the north sideof the extensive flat, upon which I came across the first of two wide terraces. The top one showed remains ofancient quarrying for sandstone, probably used in building structures somewhere hereabouts, but time did notpermit a search for now. I entered the summit through two tall sandstone pillar-like stones. Here I detectedthe deteriorated outlines of ancient sandstone structures. I also came across a fallen sandstone slab bearing ahuman face carved on the right side.

The left profile image was faded with time and the elements, requiring chalk-outlining forphotographic purposes. The image showed a head crowned with a feathered head dress. There was a

prominent nose with a smiling mouth, at the end of which was a dew drop. Alongside this were Mayan glyphswhich when later translated read: Beb-Ku Ma - ie "King Beb-Ku of the Sun. The carving measured 45cm long by33cm wide.

Here were the remains of a probable temple, the sandstone crumbling away with age. I found anancient stone pathway to the summit and a large sandstone rock containing a carved out chamber but as wehad to cover more territory that day I left this site go for now, knowing that I had found evidence of Mayancolonists just over the range from Mudgee.

My main objective this day had been to relocate a site near the Goulburn River, which like the HunterRiver was, many centuries ago, wide and deeper than today, allowing sailed rafts of Mayan colonist-explorersto penetrate deep inland.

On a previous visit here, in late afternoon light, I had found traces of ancient stone buildings,

suggesting dwellings, situated in dense scrub. Heather stayed with the car while I relocated these remains.One relic found previously had been a large stone altar erected on an east-west axis. I rediscovered this relic,to find on its south side weathered engravings of a stylised face, a Suns Eye symbol, and a kneeling pointed-faced image as if doing homage. I measured the altar to be 3.6m long by 1.5m wide and 1.3m deep.

On the west side was a deeply carved eye, and beside it a Sun disc and below these another Suns Eyedisc with a central deeply cut circular hole. Another weathered image on the north side of the altar wasindistinct. More discoveries now began to manifest themselves as I searched the immediate surroundingscrub.

Firstly there were the outlines of stones forming square enclosures within what had once been a four-walled structure, presumably a temple which was erected upon two terraces, the top one about 40cm abovethe other. An avenue of now fallen stones led some distance into the enclosure from the north. I then

observed an oblong-shaped flat stone lying in the earth, which I could see bore faded engravings. As Ichalked in the worn markings I realised that I had a left face profile, the left ear depicted with a pendant.

There was a head-dress and glyphs. The front of the nose was broken off.Turning the stone around I discovered another image, the unmistakable right profile wide-open

mouthed head of Yum Kax the Maize God, the right arm bent with the hand clutching an ear of maize. Theelbow area however, had broken away. I measured the stone to be 34.5cm long by 22cm wide and 6cm deep.

The time was getting on to late afternoon so I left the site to re-join Heather, carrying the slab forabout a kilometre back to the car.

Soon after reaching Heather, I had her drive to another, nearby Goulburn River location. There wasan area that interested me, but a search for possible ancient dwelling outlines was unsuccessful. However,shortly afterwards, having driven through a particularly rocky area, we stopped to make a quick search for

likely remains for a proper study on our next search the sun was beginning to sink. It was now that Idiscovered a wide square enclosure, with an avenue of stones leading up a slope to a north side entrance. Thesouth side of the sandstone-lined enclosure contained a 6.1m tall stone formation, its flat surface containing alarge squarish altar stone with a smaller squarish slab step beneath it. These badly worn stones faced south.

The altar measured 1.9m long by 1.7m wide and 40cm deep. The step was 1.27m long by 92cm wide and30cm deep.

These were quick measurements, like the photos we took. On the east side of the structure was asmall passageway which dropped down onto a lower level of fallen stones, although on the east side of thepassageway was a large sandstone slab bearing and eye with upturned eyeball in the manner of the MayanMoon-God, Itzamna. The nose and mouth formed the south end of the stone slab, which was 1.42m long by76cm high and 35cm wide.

The sun was setting as we drove home through the forest. We stopped at one point so I couldphotograph the Sun-God Kin-ich-Abau[ie Lord of the Suns Face]as he sank in the west.

*****Some time ago I gave the name Ozmec to the Australian simplified post Cooktown Mayan culture,

and I am certain that much more evidence awaits discovery concerning the unknown Mayan colonisation of

Australia, the mystical Paradise Land of the West, the Land of Kuior First Landat the centre of whichMexican traditions state, stood a great red rock marking the worlds centre! It is obvious that colonists fromthe early Cooktown colony had at some stage made a return voyage to Mexico to pass on information of theparadise land.

Yet, as I have previously maintained, Uruan cross-Pacific voyages, besides colonising various islands,carried elements of their ancient Aryan megalithic culture to the pre-cultured Amerindians of Middle andSouth America, which would also explain traditions of the Great West Land and Ayers Rock among otherthings, among the Mexican and Peruvian peoples of pre-Spanish conquest times.

The Gilroys search will continue for more traces of the former Ozmec Mayan expansion inlandfrom Newcastle. Further pyramid construction evidence is suspected and the uncovering of remains of oneor more ceremonial pyramids is high on my agenda.

There is evidence of admixture between Ozmec Mayans and Uruans, as can be seen in certain rock artsites even near Sydney and the Blue Mountains. And then there is the Lost City of the Wollemi a rumouredculture centre, which if eventually discovered, and turns out to be of a mixed Ozmec-Uruan culture, will beyet another major discovery of the lost history of Mayan-Australian colonisation.

THEYOWIE MYSTERYAN UPDATE.By Rex Gilroy.

Copyright Rex Gilroy 2013.

n 2007 Heather and I published The Yowie Mystery Living Fossils from the Dreamtime. This highlysuccessful book was an immediate success with relict hominin researchers who had longed for a

SCIENTIFIC volume on the subject of Australias relict hominins. The fossil evidence presented alone leftno doubts that the Yowie was actually an ancient Aboriginal composite of three forms of Homo erectus:namely a being of average modern human height; giant-size and pygmy forms.

However, shortly after this books publication, fossil skull types recovered by me since 2005 at thetime ofthe books release had been shown to be regional forms of an Australian race of Australopithecine,later named by me Australopithecus australis. At first I had believed I had unearthed fossil skull types of whatI identified as proto-Homo erectusbut comparative studies of these fossils with African skull-types of robust

Australopithecines finally led me in 2010 to announce that I had discovered the first Australopithecine skull-types outside of Africa!

This momentous discovery, soon joined by other fossil evidence of Australian Australopithecines,came too late for The Yowie Mystery as did other finds and scientific developments both here and overseas

which were pertinent to my own research findings.There also followed my conclusion, based upon some years of researches into overseas relict hominin

forms, that Bigfoot or Sasquatch of North America was, together with other relict hominins of Russia,China, South-east Asia, New Guinea and New Zealand, related to our Yowie; as seen from comparativestudies of authentic footprint plaster casts in particular, and that they and Bigfoot were descendants of thegiant form of Homo erects Yowie which is backed up by the fact that the oldest Homo erectus fossils havebeen found in Australia. The larger Yowie form gradually spread northwards from Australia over the formerland-shelf that linked Australia to mainland Asia during the last Ice-Age. From Russia groups of the largerHomo erectus form crossed the then Bergingian land-shelf into Alaska to gradually spread southward intoNorth and South America.

Many other new discoveries, all pertinent to our Yowie or Hairy Man researches, included a fourthform of truly hairy people [described in Aboriginal traditions] fitting the general features of an

Australopithecine. This made it quite clear that we must, as good scientific researchers, produce a new andrevised, up-to-date edition of our ground-breaking book. Thus The Yowie Mystery - Living Fossils from theDreamtimeAn Update has been painstakingly completed and is about to be placed in the printers hands.

This book not only identifies the four races of which the Yowie is comprised, but now includes newchapters on the fossil skull-types and other evidence for Australian Australopithecines: the anatomy andphysiology of relict hominins and the evidence for the evolution of Bigfoot and the other Russian, Asian etc.relict hominin forms from our Australian Homo erectus Yowie.

This book has been designed as a SCIENTIFIC investigation of the FOSSIL FOUNDATIONS ofthe Yowie mystery. There is a section concerning recent hairy people sightings, but Heather and I feel that itis more important to present our most up-to-date scientific evidence to give Australian relict homininresearch a SCIENTIFIC CREDIBILITY which has so far been sadly lacking in the books of others on the

Yowie.Our new edition of The Yowie Mystery Living Fossils from the Dreamtime dismisses all

sensation-seeking would-be Yowie-catchers as mindless media/sensation-seeking fools who have donenothing but bring discredit upon what is for more sensible investigators, an important subject for seriousscientific study.

The aim of our book is to attract a more open-minded attitude from the scientific community as wesearch for the all-important PHYSICAL PROOF of the existence of these beings.

Therefore, this book is aimed principally at the serious researcher who wishes to gather all theevidence possible on these primitive hominins before entering the vast Australian bush in search of evidence.

Undoubtedly ours is the most important book yet written on the Yowie mystery, raising the study ofrelict hominology to new heights and at the same time gaining the respect of understandably scepticalscientists.

I consider this book my greatest achievement in the study of Australian relict hominology. After fifty-six years of research and field investigations, as I approach 70 years of age I can, in this book, look back at alife of discoveries of benefit to future Australians; I have identified the Yowie as more than a single speciesand matched these races with their fossil forms; I will be known in years to come as the discoverer of

The evolution of the modern human foot from those of its primate ancestors is a long one. Feet of the Mountain Gorilla havebeen compared by some researchers to the famous Yeti tracks, which in turn is argued to be a formof surviving

Gigantopithecus. Fossil tracks, often of huge size, of supposed Gigantopithecus origin occur across Australia. If not ofGigantopithecus origin they are at best tracks left by other large, as yet unidentified members of the Dryopithecine family and

have no links with the Homo erectus Yowie, whose feet impressions, large or small, resemble those of modern humans.Drawings after Schultz, 1956. Origin of Races by Carlton S. Coon.
