L. A. Marzulli Says Scott Wolter Inspired Him to Hunt for Nephilim and Europeans at America's Stonehenge

9/21/2016

35 Comments

 
Comedian and macadamia nut farmer Roseanne Barr suggested that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a “Nephilim,” which the former sitcom star used as a synonym for space alien: “I think he’s an alien from another planet,” Barr told The Star. “He doesn’t seem fully human. Was this guy invented in a lab?” The reporter wasn’t able to follow Barr’s reference to Nephilim and so discussed it parenthetically as “fallen angel, son of god or space alien.” Barr meant this as a joke, but it reinforces the idea that the ancient astronaut theory and Ancient Aliens is seeping into everyday discussion in weird ways.
Specifically, the weird way seems to be through the good offices of the History Channel. They are the ones who are actively driving the demand for bad ideas and sparking still more. Our case in point today comes from our friend L. A. Marzulli, who is recovering from his recent admission that the “demon fairy” he hyped in both his Watches X DVD and his newest book is a fake. He has now capitalized on the hoax by portraying his admission that he had rushed to market with half-assed research as a brave stand toward integrity. Marzulli posted a 40-minute video outlining how he discovered the hoax but neglected to apologize for not having done the research before selling thousands of Watchers X DVDs and companion books based on unfinished research (over several years!) and his bottomless credulity.
 
In his video analysis, the narrator says that this is “another example of how Watchers sweats the details to bring you the truth!” Just not before charging you cash money for the lies.
 
Similarly, Marzulli ought to be reeling for a fascinating, thorough, and powerful analysis of the flaws in his DNA tests of elongated skulls from the Paracas people of Peru. Jennifer Raff offered an extraordinary critique yesterday through the expedient method of reading Marzulli’s own book, Nephilim Hybrids. You must read the piece for yourself for all the details, but the bottom line is clear: Marzulli’s team left too many opportunities to contaminate the samples, and the resulting discovery of “European” DNA is almost certainly due to contamination from Marzulli’s team. I was surprised to learn that despite the implication in Marzulli’s publicity materials for Watchers X, his tests were conducted not on skulls in Peru but on remains in a private collection in Oregon, for which no provenance was provided.
But to return to the issue at hand: Just before the demon fairy admission, Marzulli posted a new video about America’s Stonehenge, also known as Mystery Hill, and it represented a moment of cross-pollination between fringe historians united through History Channel patronage. Marzulli, who has appeared on History Channel shows like Search for the Lost Giants, said that he first learned of Mystery Hill from a very familiar source: “I first heard about this very enigmatic site while watching the History Channel’s show America Unearthed.” America Unearthed, hosted by geologist Scott Wolter, aired on both the History Channel and its now-defunct secondary channel H2. Wolter is currently hunting giants and Nephilim with his business partner under the Xplrr Media LLC banner.
 
Marzulli described the episode of America Unearthed about Mystery Hill as “mind-blowing.” He was particularly taken by the “complex” astronomical alignments of the site.
 
“In my opinion,” Marzulli writes, “and that of several other Native American people that I have talked to, Native Americans did not create these types of earthworks or sites.” He is indeed correct, but not for the reason he thinks. Virtually every archaeologist who has written about the site agrees that the site, as currently constructed, is a modern reconstruction of stone buildings that were originally made in the colonial period, likely as cold cellars or storage units. Historical photographs demonstrate that the “ancient” alignments and features were largely created by the owners of the site in the middle twentieth century as they rebuilt the site according to their belief in its ancient astronomical function.
 
Marzulli, however, is not content merely to accept Scott Wolter’s TV show as factual at face value; he also has to attribute the site to the Nephilim. In the program Wolter endorsed the speculative idea presented by Kelsey Stone, the son of the site’s current owner, that one of the stones on the site aligns with both Stonehenge and Beirut, Lebanon, “proving” a Phoenician connection to both sites. Because the stone is (a) irregular in shape, making an exact alignment subjective and (b) was repositioned in modern times, this alignment is entirely fictitious. However, Marzulli doesn’t care and determined that Satan is behind it. From his partial transcript:
I discussed this with a surveyor who was taken aback by the information I presented to him. He told me that the only way this could be done would by triangulation from the air. That statement immediately led me to think: who is the prince of the power of the air? […] It is contention of the Stone and his father [that] this site is about 4000 years old and was created by the Phoenicians. What Stone didn’t know was [that] the Phoenicians are the descendants of the Canaanites who were, in my opinion a Nephilim Tribe.
Note that Marzulli claims in his video that the Nephilim are “soulless.” He admits that killing descendants of Nephilim would be “genocide,” but he says that he supports their eradication because these people’s lack of souls means that they can be killed without consequence or sin. “So, is it genocide? No, it isn’t genocide. It goes back into this whole idea that we’re in a cosmic war between the fallen cherubim and the one-third of the angelic host which fell with them and the Most High God.” Marzulli, in earlier posts, alleged that the Nephilim were responsible for inducing homosexuality, and his colleague Steve Quayle claims that homosexuals are tainted with Nephilim genes. Do the math. It’s pretty clear what Marzulli is using his dog-whistle to say.
 
The cider-pressing or lye-pressing table displayed at the site as the “sacrificial” table becomes for Marzulli proof that Mystery Hill was the site of human sacrifices akin to those performed by the Nephilim in Peru, at Stonehenge, and in the Phoenician lands. He claims to have “accessed” the “chamber” beneath the sacrificial altar and concluded that it must have been for containing the human victim. This “chamber” is another fake, constructed when the “sacrificial” table was repositioned decades ago. Photographs show that the “table” was flat on the ground in the 1940s, and has at various times since then been high up on tall legs or close to the ground on short legs.
 
Marzulli says that he hopes the site will be excavated to search for human remains because he believes such remains will prove to be those of giants or fallen angels, whom he considers the builders of the site. He concludes his video thus:
So we have a disparity between mainstream archaeologists and those of us, like Scott Wolter and myself, as well as the Stone family that believe the Americas were visited by people from the Europe and the Middle East long before the days of Columbus. Is this site the remains of what I have come to call Fallen Angel Technology and Nephilim architecture? Like much of what we explore, it only leads to further questions.
Note the way that Marzulli is purposely tying himself to Scott Wolter, attempting to draw the History Channel’s cloak of “credibility” over himself. Those “further questions” are only question if you have a paranoid conspiracy mindset that is struggling to fit everything into a Nephilim framework and trying desperately to make every part fit, even when the facts are clearly against you.

I'm gonna say Marzulli's grip on reality is tenuous, at best. No rational mind, in my opinion, sees Nephilim, aliens, whatever fringe du jour, in *everything*.

Oh, well. I guess these fringe guys are going through a second puberty, what with all the potential bromances we're witnessing.

"Marzulli claims in his video that the Nephilim are “soulless.”

So does he use a standard soul detector or has he developed his own?

Even the lobotomized would question the need for such a device, as it was intended. Maybe it does to souls what Bubba Ho-Tep did.

"America's Stonehenge" is an even greater farce, akin to building three sand castles using toy buckets and calling the installation "America's Great Pyramids of Giza."

no one "has" a soul we ARE souls. Adam BECAME a living soul when the breath of life was breathed into him. "soul" is a portmanteau word that can mean the life, the well being, the immortal part and the whole body soul spectrum that is a living being. at death the denser part drops off and the being goes on in a reduced condition.

Traducianism, taken for granted by Paul when he explains why Jesus' melchizedecian priesthood is superior to that of Aaron and Levi, holds that the soul substance like the material substance is inherited from the parents. being more fluid of course it is more changeable. this is also the only explanation for inheritance of the warped nature acquired by Adam and Eve in the Fall.

A Possible History of Life on Mars I wrote on amazon kindle presents a case for no angelic DNA, just they guided and improved efforts at genetic engineering and their wives were surrogate mothers for the first such children. A hybrid is a hybrid soul. not soulless. might be a bit odd.

So the local Native Americans of that region, displaced from somewhere else and brought there by the US, obviously wouldn't know who built the colonial mounds.

Canaan is not related to the Nephilim nor are they related to Cain. It is simply a name that sounds similar. He probably meant Phillistines, because of that Goliath story, but not all of them were as tall as Goliath.

Who lets these fake archeologists mess with Peruvian head bound skulls? Isn't someone in the antiquities area watching them? Guess not.

None of his video proves aliens or fallen angels, any more than a Dan Brown novel.

If they were selling it as fiction, that's fine, but they seem under the delusion that their rants are real, and everyone else is lying, typical of that behavior.

Well at least he doesn't have that patterns in everything ailment. Or does he?

They need to believe in special knowledge they have, and for a price you too have special knowledge. It's not special. It is fake.

No reason to let inconvenient facts get in the way of a perfectly good diatribe, Jason. You yourself acknowledge that the "original" owner of the site excavated under the stone slab and found the legs. From your earlier post: "Goodwin, as noted in the comments below, claimed to have found the legs in situ while excavating beneath the stone." (And this was only added by you when a reader specifically pointed it out.) Other "historical photos" you rely on are far from conclusive. You are no better than the people you continually criticize: You cherry-pick the facts to support your argument. You are, of course, free to reach your own conclusions. But I think it is disingenuous to do so without disclosing all relevant facts.

You mean like Marzulli disclosed all the "relevant" facts? How then are the legs of different size in different decades? Why is there sometimes a monolith standing beside the "sacrificial" table and other times not?

I can't imagine you can look fairly at the photographs of whole parts of the site that were once piles of disconnected rocks and which are now well-designed chambers and not see that the place has been extensively reworked.

Given the known rebuilding work done at the site (which not even fringe believers dispute occurred at some level), it is up to the claimant to prove that the rock in question in any given claim was in the claimed position in ancient times. That is the burden of proof.

Obviously I'm not going to defend Marzulli. But there are so many open questions about this site, yet you dismiss it so, well, dismissively. For example, the carbon dating is much more complicated a question than you let on--see here http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~legneref/bronze/rothview.htm , bringing the age of the structures to before the Pattee family arrived. And the idea that these structures were built as root cellars. If so, why no doors? And why are the openings too narrow for wheelbarrows? The "apple cider press" conclusion is also shaky: Why carry the apples up the hill to press them, only to have to carry the cider back down? Of course the site was reworked. Nobody denies that. The question is, what was it and who built it originally if not the Pattee family?

Two huge red flags from the article, David.

1) "The New England Antiquities Research Association, a group of amateur archeologists...".

2) " The president and moving spirit of NEARA was Robert E. Stone of Derry, New Hampshire, owner of Mystery Hill...". So the guy behind this group of amateur archaeologists also owned the site. Neat, isn't it, "the group decided to concentrate on Mystery Hill, the site that was apparently central to all others, and with the greatest potential for significant results."

That project proved nothing. No one disputes the stones were already in situ before Goodwin, et. al, came along. However, no pre-Columbian European artifacts have been found at the site. Clive Runnels has said, "If you've got a Bronze Age site in, say, Great Britain, near Stonehenge, you're going to find pottery, tools, evidence of burials, and hearths." He further stated, "No Bronze Age artifacts have been found there, in fact, no one has found a single artifact of European origin from that period anywhere in the New World."

@ Only Me: Your second comment is a fair one. It would be nice to find ancient artifacts or tools at these sites. But the fact is that mainstream archeologists refuse to dig at them, often fearing being ostracized. So it becomes a Catch-22--how to find artifacts without a dig? That leads me to your first point. Yes, NEARA was founded by Robert Stone. It was not just "neat," it was a necessity if any work on the site was going to be done.

You would have a point if refusal by mainstream archaeologists was as much a problem as has been claimed. As I recall, previous excavations at Mystery Hill have shown a lot of evidence of Native American activity going back to the Late Archaic or Early Woodland periods.

I guess it would be nice to know how long mainstream archaeologists are supposed to excavate on site before alternative historians are satisfied with the evidence.

Thomas Schroeder

I hear, a lot, the argument that Archaeologists don't want to stick their necks out with respect to new discoveries and that is simple not supported by the facts.

With such mainstream claims as Stanford and Bradley hypothesizing that Europeans came to the Americas across an Atlantic ice front, Goodyear believing that the Topper site might be older than 50,000, the discovery of Denisovans, and many more, it is not reasonable to continue arguing that archaeologist don't have the balls to report what they believe they've discovered. To the contrary, I am sure most go to bed at night dreaming they'll find something someday of such historical significance they'll be immortalized in Archaeology hall of fame.

Archaeologists, employing careful and proper techniques that hold up to scrutiny, that find bronze age evidence in the Americas (or giants for that matter) will clamor to share their discovery.

David Brody
9/21/2016 06:10:23 pm

@Thomas Schroeder: I wish what you said were true. My experience (I am a member of NEARA and used to sit on its Board) is that many archeologists are intrigued by these "fringe" sites but are reluctant to get involved and face criticism from their peers. Stanford and Bradley got pummeled for their work.

Funny that this site is sometimes confused for journalism by posters. It is an opinion editorial site, not a fact finding research site. It looks at other peoples opinions on aliens and weird mysteries, and makes educated guesses. It therefore does not have to be concerned with getting everything right. Even real journals get some things wrong. It is hardly conclusive or a scholarly letter.

It's call the blog an editorial most of the time, with some opinion and some facts, so there is room for interpretation.

Jason does need to be on a TV show. History might be looking for new blood. That would be ironic.

At least both individuals were courageous enough to reply. You can send marked up photographs, surveys, video, emails laying out a credible case that there is the potential of something of archeological value at a particular location. You can extend the offer to pay for test pits or a larger scale exploration. It makes no difference. The seeming monolithic block doesn't move.

David Brody summarized it succinctly: "But the fact is that mainstream archeologists refuse to dig at them, often fearing being ostracized. So it becomes a Catch-22--how to find artifacts without a dig?"

It's a reality. It is how the game is played. You are guaranteed not to find anything IF YOU DON'T EVER LOOK. If you are an amateur and find something (not by digging), then it, and you, are denounced and the whispers begin. I'll admit - It's a superlative strategy. Experience the effect of it a few times personally and it isn't long until one - at least I - begin to wonder if maybe there isn't something of merit to all the conspiracy assertions.

Patrick and David:

I am sorry that professional archaeologists have, in your experience, been non-responsive in your attempt to get them involved in excavating at sites that interest you. I hope that no one reading this blog, however, concludes that this lack of interest and involvement has universally been the case. As you well know, Gary Vescelius, then an archaeology graduate student, directed an excavation at Mystery Hill (at the behest of the owners), and found no artifacts to support a pre-Columbian European presence at the site. He did, however, find over 7,000 nineteen-century Euro-American and Native American artifacts. He published a very brief report concerning his work at the site in the Bulletin of the Eastern States Archaeological Federation in 1956 and his field notes, I have been told, are stored somewhere at the Yale Peabody. More recently, John R. Cole (then at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst) conducted a number of excavations at stone chambers and published the results of that research in the journal Man in the Northeast (now called Northeast Anthropology) in 1979 and 1982. John reported no archaeological evidence for a pre-Columbian European connection to the chambers he excavated. You may disagree with their findings, but we shouldn't neglect to mention their professional involvement.

By the way, neither of these archaeologists were in any way professionally harmed by their association with that research and, in fact, were often invited to conferences to report on them.

@Ken Feder
Very informative reply, Ken, and much appreciated. As I noted in a previous reply, what I shared was a personal experience that was very narrow in scope. As personally frustrating as such situations are, that frustration is tempered by the realization that there are few professional archeologists and there are a gazillion potential sites in line to be explored. I very much doubt that anyone who contacts an archeologist frames their request by saying there potential find is insignificant and that waiting 20 years to investigate it is acceptable! Archeology is not a service industry catering to everyone who walks out of the woods thinking they have found something. Nice information on the Mystery Hill studies, thanks for sharing.

I just wanted to briefly echo what Ken said, and also acknowledge that I understand where Patrick is coming from. While I think archaeologists do have a broad responsibility to mesh with the public, we indeed aren't a "service industry" that has the capacity to address every interesting idea from members of the public at the level they would like. Archaeologists often spend many years (if not decades) chipping away at specific questions with targeted research. That's how we typically generate knowledge, rather than through spectacular (or even press-worthy) discoveries. I wish I had the resources to throw at every problem that was interesting, but it just doesn't work that way. I can barely keep up with what I've got going on a day-to-day basis, and it's very difficult to find any discretionary time or resources to take an afternoon to go look at a new site, let alone turn on a dime and create and entire new research project.

Peter Geuzen

I'm a bit confused. Are there not private sector consulting archaeologists that can simply be paid to dig, regardless of whether thy find anything. These are credentialed people that follow standard guidelines and use good science. In Canada we have plenty of arch consulting firms and plenty of requirements for them. Is the US different?

Gunn
9/22/2016 01:06:57 pm

I have come to know the feeling that David Brody expressed in an above comment about the seeming reluctance of professionals to become involved with what would be considered by the academic world as fringe history.

I have been intimately involved in this process of hinderance and rejection, a few years ago by the MN State Archaeologist at the time, who was very clear to me about his personal feelings that the French were the first Europeans to arrive into this wonderful, beautifully-glaciated region. He would not waiver. The new State Archaeologist has reached out to me, expressing her possible assistance to me in the way of helping to facilitate the licensing of a professional archaeologist to conduct an exploratory dig at the proposed medieval Norse Code-stone site I discovered a few years ago, which some here may be familiar with. I am presently trying to find an archaeologist who could help me, and I'm willing to kick in the first $1,000.00 towards a professional dig. I'm faced with trying to show publicly that a site is worthy of professional attention, while also being tasked with keeping the site vague for safety reasons. What more can I do?

What David expressed is true, from my own personal experience. I know of several sites that could warrant further enquiry by interested professionals (amateurs, too), but the reception to my requests for help have gone unanswered. I wouldn't mind Jason getting involved, or Scott Wolter, of Andy White...anyone who has the ability to arouse passions to dig.

I don't mind being bold here in saying that the proposed Norse Code-stone I found may represent the best hope of actually finding something both medieval and European...but from a much earlier period than France's arrival.

I will not do it, but I could show interested parties emails that would make even professionals cringe, at the degree of abuse I have endured for several years now. An added insult I experienced along the way is that Scott Wolter has never been willing to help me, since many of his views are so bizarre that much of our personally-held beliefs are at odds. The best example is that he doesn't take the message at face value (being a true story), while I do. He believes in a huge land claim connected with the Kensington Runestone, while I don't. See, he is unwilling to help spread the word about a portion of the message being verified recently, that being locating the mysterious, elusive "lake with two skerries." We can see clearly, too, why he isn't interested in helping me with the Norse Code-stone, which is located in a context of merging waterways, in a much better strategic land-claiming position than the KRS is in.

The very worse part of my experience, though, has been being at the boot-end of blog comments, many times by the same person posing as various entities. All it takes is one person to wreak havoc in an otherwise good conversation. This type of blog troll can usually be recognized because they prefer to attack the presenter of new ideas rather than the ideas themselves, as though it is a pleasurable game to be played on the internet. But, I have come to see that this goes with the territory of trying to be a non-fringe blog personality on the cusp of truth.

I'll admit that I do sometimes enjoy being provocative, like when I accuse certain persons of apparently being biased against pioneering Scandinavians, in that these poor immigrants suffered, enmass, from some sort of strange DNA-related memory malfunction. Did anyone ever find that marker, or will some new persons need to be invited to the future, great Eat-Crow dinner coming up? Maybe this is an accurate scientific equation for our times:

Norse Code-stone + professional exploratory dig = Eat-Crow Dinner.

(A little humor never hurts.)
