Many people merely dream of traveling around the world. This highly unusual man acts on his dreams. Every time he starts to wonder about an interesting place he has not been, he simply packs his bags, grabs a camera and goes to the airport to claim his seat. Soon he is in Brazil, China, Africa or anywhere there are people to meet, things to see and do, like taking pictures, buying art, shaking hands, asking questions and being entertained by professional guides and story tellers. “Hello, how are you, good to meet you. I’m Leon Freeman from Memphis, Tennessee.” I found his introduction by a tribesman in Papua New Guinea as a cousin the most striking story of them all.
Mr. Freeman retired from his school teaching career and immediately set out to explore the world. Over the years he visited five continents, sixty-two countries and a string of islands ringing the globe like pearls. He discovered one satisfying fundamental fact: in human essence, we are all one. Whatever differences there might be in our outer physical appearance or our diverse cultural extensions, there are no qualitative differences to the principle: ‘all human babies are created equal.’
In this picture book, Mr. Freeman provides the viewer with unforgettable, vicarious experiences to enjoy time and time again for many years to come.
Thousands Of Years Before the Birth Of Christ, Giants Roamed The Earth
In the sixteenth century, Spanish conquerors came to the New World in search of El Dorado, the fabled city of gold. Instead, they encountered inexplicable phenomena that have puzzled scholars and historians ever since: massive stone edifices constructed in the Earth’s most inaccessible regions … great monuments forged with impossible skill and unknown tools … intricate carvings describing the events and topography of half a world away.
In this, the remarkable and thoroughly researched fourth volume of THE EARTH CHRONICLES, author Zecharia Sitchin uncovers the long-hidden secrets of the lost civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas and offers documentation of the giant gods who spawned the greatness of the Incans, Mayans, and Aztecs — the Anunnaki — “those who from Heaven to Earth came.”

Under the guidance of these ancient visitors from the heavens, human civilization flourished — as revolutionary advances in art, science and thought swept through the inhabited world.

In this extraordinarily documented, meticulously researched work, Zecharia Sitchin draws remarkable correlations between the events that shape our civilization in millennia past — pinpointing with astonishing accuracy the tumultuous beginning of time as we know it . . . and revealing to us the indisputable signature of extraterrestrial god indelibly written in stone.
(Video cortesía Panorama) Tenía tan sólo 18 años, era su primer embarazo y Maria Magdalena Quispe Farfán decidió entregar a su hija recién nacida a una pareja de esposos suizos. La difícil situación económica por la que atravesaba la obligaron a llegar a un acuerdo con los extranjeros desde su natal Urubamba (Cusco). Pasaron los años y la mujer se arrepintió de la decisión que tomó, pero se tuvo que conformar con observar las fotografías de su niña creciendo que le enviaban desde Suiza. Hoy, 22 años después, Nicole Gartman decidió retornar al Perú a buscar a su madre. No le guarda rencor y tiene muchas ganas de verla de nuevo, finalmente se sueño se hizo realidad gracias a Panorama y al “buscapersonas” David Nostas. La búsqueda no fue fácil, la pista que tenía el “buscapersonas” era una fotografía y rumores de que la mujer trabajaba en el mercado del pueblo. Muchas preguntas y respuestas muy vagas, obligaron al equipo de Panorama y al periodista del grupo Epensa a buscar una radioemisora. Ese fue el instrumento que impulsó a María Quispe Farfán a interesarse. Horas de preparación y conversaciones terminaron en un feliz reencuentro. La impresión le provocó un desmayo, pero finalmente la madre puso abrazar a Nicole en medio de mucha emoción. La historia tuvo final feliz.
