BRITISH WRITER DISCOVERS THE PHARAOHS’ LOST UNDERWORLD
LONDON, August 15th, 2009. A British writer has staked claim to finally finding the lost underworld of the pharaohs which has been rumoured to exist since the construction of the Great Pyramid nearly 5,000 years ago, creating a stir that is set to rock the Egyptological world.
Armed only with the forgotten memoirs of a nineteenth century British explorer, history and science writer Andrew Collins, working alongside Egyptological researcher Nigel Skinner Simpson, tracked down the entrance to this forgotten cave system and were the first to explore it in modern times.
The story begins in 1817 when Henry Salt, a former British Consul General to Egypt, and Italian explorer Giovanni Caviglia entered a series of what they described as “Catacombs” beneath Giza’s famous pyramid field and travelled for a distance of “several hundred yards”, before coming upon four large chambers from which went further cave passageways.
Salt’s memoirs were never published, and no one seems to have recorded the caves existence since that time.
“The importance of the memoirs had previously been overlooked,’ Collins said. “They’d been catalogued but never studied in depth. They were published, finally, in 2007.
“We found in them reference to Salt and Caviglia’s exploration of the Catacombs and after reconstructing the two men’s explorations on the plateau we eventually located the cave entrance.”
It turned out to be a previously unrecorded tomb west of the 5,000-year-old Great Pyramid, which Collins and his team explored in March 2008. Here they came upon an opening that led into a vast cave chamber filled with fallen rock debris, animal bones, colonies of bats and venomous spiders.
Following in the footsteps of Salt and Caviglia, Collins and his team explored the caves for some distance, finding incised walls and mummy fragments, before the air became too thin to carry on.
Subsequent visits to the caves revealed more about their extent and construction.
Is it possible that Collins has beaten the Egyptologists at their own game by finding the entrance to Giza’s lost underworld?
Dr Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities has been quick to dismiss the discovery: “There are no new discoveries to be made at Giza”, he stated. “We know everything about the plateau – amateurs cannot find anything new.”
Yet Collins is confident that his discovery is genuine: “We have searched academic libraries in London and Cairo and have found no mention of the caves or the tomb in modern times.
“I have asked Dr Hawass to supply me with any report or paper relating to either the tomb or the caves. He said he would send them. I am still waiting.”
Collins says that since the caves are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years old, they may have influenced the development not only of the famous pyramid field but also ancient Egyptian beliefs in an underworld where the soul achieves resurrection before ascending to the stars.
“Ancient funerary texts clearly allude to the existence of a subterranean world in the vicinity of the Giza pyramids, calling it variously the Underworld of the Soul and the Shetayet, quite literally the Tomb of God.” He said. “Hopefully, the existence of the caves will help us understand the earliest human activity on the plateau.”
The full story of the discovery of Egypt’s lost underworld is revealed in Collins’s new book Beneath the Pyramids (Fourth Dimension Press, 2009).

Remote Viewing with Lyn Buchannan

The Seventh Sense – The Secrets Of Remote Viewing As Told By a ” Psychic Spy” For The U.S. Military
Leonard (Lyn) Buchanan is the Executive Director of Problems> Solutions>Innovations (P>S>I) which started as a small data analysis company in the Washington, D.C. area in 1992, after Lyn’s retirement from the military.
In late 1995, when the US government declassified their Remote Viewing project, information became public about Lyn’s prior involvement with that project as one of the unit’s Remote Viewers, Database Manager, Property Book Officer and as the unit’s Trainer. Public demands for training and applications became great, and P>S>I moved into the remote viewing field full time, bringing with it Lyn’s extensive databasing capabilities. At the present time, P>S>I possesses the most complete body of data on the applications of remote viewing in real-world applications.
The U.S. government used a specialized form of remote viewing known as Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV). Lyn’s involvement with CRV came about by a long, strange, and circuitous series of events, some parts of which are still classified. Lyn was brought into the unit in 1984 and remained there on special assignment for the rest of his military career.
After re-entering the military, he was stationed in Japan for four years, where he also gained a proficiency in Japanese and Mongolian, becoming the only Mongolian linguist in all branches of the US military. After his assignment to Japan, he returned to the Defense Language Institute for another year to attend their higher-level Russian course and became one of only 12 Russian Scientific Research Linguists in the US Army. He was then assigned to a 4 year stint at the US Intelligence Field Station in Augsburg, Germany, a station which deals with mostly tactical traffic and very little scientific research traffic. But his skills and experience with computers proved to be very rare, right at a time when the military was just getting itself computerized. Here, he was also utilized as a systems designer and programmer for the many and varied US- and foreign-manufactured mainframe and mini-computers which were used at the Field Station.
Lyn has been plagued throughout his life with “psychokenetic” events. One fateful day in Augsburg, such an event, parts of which are still classified, happened and brought about official recognition and record of his “ability”. Shortly thereafter, the commander of the U.S. Intelligence and Security Command decided, because of these abilities, to transfer him to the special “psychic spying” unit at Ft. Meade, Maryland, where he planned to have Lyn affect and/or destroy enemy computer systems. This plan was aborted for funding reasons, and Lyn became one of the unit’s Controlled Remote Viewers instead.
After retirement from the U.S. Army in 1992, he settled down with his wife and youngest son in Mechanicsville, Maryland. He began working for a “beltway bandit” (a term used for computer consultant companies which surround the Washington D.C. beltway, and make their fortunes working mainly governmental contracts.) At the same time, he began building his own company, Problems>Solutions>Innovations (P>S>I). P>S>I was originally a data analysis company only.
During these years, he continued training people within the intelligence community, who were privy to the existence of CRV and to the fact that he had been the unit’s trainer. In December 1995, however, the CIA effectively declassified the government’s connection to and use of CRV, and the existence of the military unit. The public became aware of CRV, and P>S>I quickly took on the role of training CRV to the public, keeping research data on the trained “CRVers”, and developing new, civilian applications for the technology.
Lyn has a personal drive to take this technology completely out of the “spooky” realm and find the scientific and technological causes behind it. To this end, he maintains a strict database on all operations in order to conduct as much research as possible.
Adding his computer skills to the CRV process, Lyn has developed techniques for enhancing the results of organized CRV efforts. He has developed computerized analysis techniques for identifying, categorizing and predicting viewer error rates. He has developed and maintains a database which tracks a trained viewer’s individual strengths and weaknesses. He has also designed and written computer programs for the specific areas of CRV training, to aid and guide the student’s progress.
In addition to providing standard computer systems-oriented data analysis and programming services, he also provides remote viewing services and training to both individuals and organizations, and also performs a free public service to police and other public-funded investigative organizations and agencies.
This work was originally done under a program called The Assigned Witness Program. The name for the program came about by chance one day when Lyn was working with an investigator. He asked the investigator what information was needed most. The investigator replied, “Well, what we really need is a witness.” “No problem,” Lyn replied, “we can assign one. For the first time, the investigator realized the scope of this new tool, and asked, “Do you mean that you can assign someone to actually witness something that has already happened?” Lyn replied, “That’s what we do.”
Like so many of the other remote viewers of the military unit, Lyn is also into art.
