Mythical Mayan Underground Found (or so they think)

Archaeologists again think they have found the mythical underground passage to Xibalba, the Mayan equivalent of a legendary underground city, imhabited by superheroes and Gods. Xibalba is supposedly the place they vanished into when their civilization came to an abrupt end around the Middle Ages.
Let's see. What they found is a bunch of caves, submerged or not, some temples, some offerings, some bones. And of course the find is not the only one of it's kind, since the Yucatan peninsula is filled with enormous cave systems and Mayan remnants of worship.
The Xibalba myth is similar to the Acheron ancient Greek Myth, the Greek Underworld where Hades, the god of the dead lived along with heroes and demigods. But the myths have similarities of passage as well, complete with paranormal guard-dog, Indiana Jones - type obstacles and more.
The question here is this: Why did those people locate their mythical entrances on sites so easily explored, and clearly not leading anywhere? It's not that the ancients where not good explorers or easily intimidated by hardship, as proven by their presence in the remotest and most desolate of locations.
Was it that they dared not venture in a place clearly marked as sacred? Did they blindly believe their own myths? Or was it something else entirely?
Could it be that the caves where "open" only under certain circumstances, or on specific dates?
If such a thing as a portal to somewhere else exists, and is influenced - as ancient traditions state - by earth currents and proximity to water, would it be eternal?
The portals (known as Einstein-Rosen bridges in physics) if they where ever there, seem to have been long gone from these places, leaving only the meagre offerings of the people. And if they are gone from there, they must be relocated somewhere else, mustn't they?
How close to home could they be? And would we know?

Explosions in Canada and strange crafts everywhere...

Strange explosions near the Arctic regions of Canada, recorded by seismologists everywhere , black smoke, meteorites (!), UFO's, dead whales and unidentified submarines hanging around the area. Not a known hotspot, Baffin Island may be just the tip of the iceberg (no pun intended).
UFO and paranormal activity has risen in the past few months, with dead bigfoots (), countless UFOs taped and photographed all over the world, a mass extinction event concerning amphibians, and of course, a UFO crash complete with Men In Black, Black Cars and a full recovery operation in Needles, California.
Is it me or is it getting weird on this planet?

Tunguska Incident is 100 years old.

Yes, it's been a 100 years since the famous Tunguska incident. And although the scientific community (the mainstream, that is) maintains that the only plausible cause for the event must have been a meteorite 40 meters across, over the years numerous researchers proposed various alternatives, the most popular being the alien craft explosion theory, the mini black hole theory, and last but not least the Nikola Tesla Death Ray theory.
Coincidence that Tesla was working at his Death Ray at the time, and destroyed all his notes immediately after the Tunguska incident? Maybe it is...

Ancient Underground Structure in Slovakia - Lost forever?

“I froze in amazement - there stands something like a large, black silo framed in white limestone formations. It is a glass-smooth flank of a seemingly man-made structure. Even the thought of a tower-sized artifact embedded in rock in the middle of an obscure mountain is bewildering.” - Antonin T. Horak (Diary Entry), October 23, 1944

I came across this research page, referring to a vast underground structure a Partisan fighter used for hiding during WWII in the Tatra Mountains area in Slovakia.
Allen Hynek was involved until his death, and Ted Phillips took over for an expedition in 1999, of which the report on the web page is unfinished..
Now, I'm a sucker for caves and underground cities and secret hideouts and ancient alien artifacts. And I blame Indiana Jones for that. Never mind..
But this story had something genuine about it, distinguishing it from crappy internet mysteries and comic-inspired stories.
The story is well highlighted, with plenty of historical records, and the only room for doubt is whether the old man misinterpreted a normal cave for something artificial with strange properties. His report mentions polished walls, shafts, strange substances on them, and even a warm wall with a humming like a turbine (!) heard behind it.
What impressed me the most was his report of stalactites and stalagmites in all the passages, blocking his way and scratching him. He had to break off some big chunks to pass. Now, a carstic structure like a stalactite grows about a centimeter each century. You can tell where I am going with this. He also discovered some bear bones in there, where no bear could fit...
It all sounds very familiar, resembling closely the Pendeli Cave story I have followed closely for decades, down to the artificial tunnels from thousands of years ago and the strange feeling of awe.. I hope the Tatra Mountains cave does not have the fate of the cave of Pendeli, with the military and bizarre fractions of the NATO destroying everything in sight, while conducting weird and useless structures..
I will have to write to the people on the web page, to find out if there is an end to the story...

UPDATE: I contacted Ted Phillips and he informed me that a dedicated website, projectmoonshaft.org , will be up later this month, to accompany a new expedition to the Tatra Mountains in September and to offer info and video.

The screwfly solution

After reading the excellent article on Technoccult on the rise of violent incidents for no reason, including road rage, I started thinking what could have caused this. The obvious case on fast-paced life is not the only candidate.
case 1: Being the animals that we are, reduced space means there are contenders in our private area or around it, and the reptile in us lashes out in defence.
case 2: The Earth is defending itself, much like the diseases it uses from time to time, according to some fringe epidimiologists. How it works is, of course, pure speculation.
case 3: (the scariest and the most interesting) We are ushered in a time of tension, war and mayhem by some alien race looking for some real-estate. Why fight the insects one at a time when you can make them kill each other?
If I had a Conspiracy Theory Teacher he would be proud..

UFOs collide with fighter jet?

More Structures on the Moon?

Careful study of public domain Lunar images, led researcher Allan Sturm to discover structures resembling hexagon, neatly arranged pods and some resemblance of a half-buried machine...
Maybe the Moon still has surprises left for us, or at least it still has some bucks left in exploiting it.
The future will tell, if we ever get to return up there...
