On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite the guys start the show off talking about Kyle’s birthday, there recent movie going experience and their review of the new movie “The Meg”. Then, they talk about a guy named Timothy Smits from the Netherlands awoke one evening when he was around 10 years old in the middle of the night to find “The Hatman” playing with his toy cars. Then, another “Skunk Ape” has been seen by a couple while driving down a road. It took place near Myakka City, Florida where a couple in southeastern Manatee County claim to have spotted a bipedal figure they believe to be a Bigfoot creature. The woman, who didn’t provide a name, said she was driving with her husband near the Myakka River when the creature showed up in June 2018 at around 6.45 p.m.. The area was flooded on account of the recent subtropical storm Alberto.
After the break Cam brings up the Romanian Sphinx. The Romanian Sphinx is a rock formation in the Bucegi Mountains (South East Romania), in the Carpathians . It lies on a mountain plateau at a hight of 2,216 meters. From a purely scientific point of view we are talking about a 12 meters high megalith that was shaped by the wind into a human head. So, if you observe it from a certain point you can see eyes, nose and lips. The legends about the rocks on this mountain plateau transformed this rock into a very visited touristic attraction. As local legend goes, this rock could represent a supreme God that was worshiped in ancient times by the Dacians. There are also stories that this so-called Sphinx of Romania was actually an energetic center used by ancient aliens. This mystical aura is really appealing to all the people who are passionate about occult and paranormal science. It’s common to see groups of people near the Sphinx of Romania holding hands in circle and trying to feel the energy of this place. Some even say that in this point there is a very important chakra of the Earth.
Another rumour is that somewhere near the Sphinx is a very important secret uranium mine that hasn’t been used since the World War II. The oldest photograph of the megalith dates from 1900. The name of the Sphinx dates from the year 1935 when the a publication of the time decided to call it this way. Many tourist say that the face of the Sphinx of Romania can be better seen, at sunset, on 21st of November. There are also some legends that suggest that this face hasn’t been shaped by wind and it was carved by hand, long time ago. According to some theories, the Sphinx of Romania could have been hewn by the Pelasgians. The Pelasgians are thought to be the ancestors of the Greeks. Daniel Ruzo, a peruvian explorer, launched a theory in 1968. He claimed he had found a link between this Sphinx of Romania, the Dacian people (ancient civilisation that lived here before the roman invasion) and the Markawasi civilisation. He said that he had found some similarities between the Sphinx in Bucegi Mountains and other rock formation in the Andes. Ruzo launched a hypothesis that the humankind time is devided into eras. One era would be, according to his calculation, of 8,608 years. Ruzo said that every era was divided into four solar cycles of 2,125 years each. At the end of every era he said that the Earth is doomed to be stricken with disaster.
