One's search can sometimes go from one extreme to another. l and my fellows start off on our voyage researching a lost culture that had evolved at the Eye of Africa in Mauritania. When the Sahara had dried at the end of the Holocene Maximum the peoples of the western part of the Saharan savanna had congregated here and by a nearby river to escape the desert. Much like what happened in Egypt in the Eastern Sahara.These people gathered here evolved their own culture and started to sail out into the Atlantic finding the North Atlantic gyre becoming adept seafarers. What we found was that more drying and other disasters struck this culture, causing them to increasingly take to the sea and evolving floating islands in their dwindling rivers delta.In the end these islands took completely to the sea along with the entire culture becoming seaborne. What became clear to us from following the trail of this culture to Bermuda, the Azores and Madeira was that they had moved their floating islands to the calm waters of the Sargasso Sea building of floating culture here.We find that this oceanic culture had had contact with the bronze age cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean and been part of the trade network that sustained the bronze age cultures. This oceanic culture built on floating islands in the middle of the world ocean had been the basis of the myth of a great ocean kingdom that disappeared in a cataclysmic disaster. Thus, being the actual Atlantis described by Plato.Finally, we uncover that there is a clear connection between the fall of this culture of Atlantis and the sea peoples that arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean during the bronze age collapse.

My search for the origins of the whale culture has now taken me from the first findings on the East coast of Greenland across the Arctic Ocean and down the Bering Sea to the Aleutian Islands. Here I have found evidence that they originated in the Pacific, which brings us to Japan and the Yonaguni monument. Here it becomes evident that the Whale culture originated from hunter-gatherers, on the Eurasian Mammoth step, who have begun to hunt seals and whales in the Sea of Japan and have then crossed over to Japan from where their culture has adapted to the rich hunting waters of the Pacific during the ice age. The abundance of hunting game has led them to be very successful in the Pacific and to have the resources to develop their unique culture, where they lived on and hunted from the ice cover on the Ocean. On the journey from Japan across the Pacific we find evidence on Hawaii that causes us to take a detour to Kiritimati.There we find evidence that very specific ocean currents during the ice age created a continent of ice in the pacific during the ice age with very rich waters both to the north and south of this ice continent on which the whale culture established a civilization that must have been the real lost continent of Mu. From this continent the whale culture of Mu could cover the entire pacific in their airships based on whale skin and bone. In our continued search we come to Tahiti and New Caledonia to find the source of the specific conditions in the ocean currents that led to the formation of the ice continent of Mu and how these conditions started to collapse and led to the decline of the Whale culture in the Pacific. We thus end up following the whale culture to New Zealand, where it tries to adapt to the missing sea ice and follows the ice south towards the Antarctic before disappearing.

To gain an understanding of the past, it is sometimes useful to test what one has learned by investigating the past. That is what this book is about. It is a continuation of my book, "The Whale Culture of Greenland". Based on the details about the whale culture in Greenland that I learned from rock carvings on a cliff in Eastern Greenland, I and like-minded individuals have built an airship, as it could have been built by a hunter-gatherer culture in the Arctic during the Holocene Maximum, and we will now attempt to fly it around Greenland and propel it with the fuel we can gather from hunting.This is therefore the story of our journey in a hot-air balloon around Greenland and how we managed the long trip north around the island and down along the west coast until we returned to the east coast, facing all the challenges and dangerous situations that arose along the way.It is also the story of what an ancient people could achieve in the distant past and what it tells about their spread in the Arctic and beyond.It is a long and eventful journey that I and my companions undertake, which does not go as expected and certainly does not end as such, but still bears the fruits we desired.The journey is long and tough and constantly tests us, as the Arctic must have tested the whale culture in Greenland's distant past, but we endure it all the way to the abrupt end of the journey, thereby showing that an airborne culture in Greenland could have been possible around the time of the Holocene Maximum.

Mucho está escondido entre las rocas. Muchos secretos.Les hablo del comienzo de mis viajes.En la costa del este de Groenlandia, me enteré de una roca con petroglifos que vine aquí a investigar y estoy encontrando más de lo que podía soñar.La roca habla de una cultura de ballenas olvidada que vivió hace miles de años a lo largo de las costas árticas y se basó en su caza de ballenas. Una cultura que se desarrolló íntegramente en torno al mar y lo que tiene para ofrecer.Un descubrimiento sigue a otro mientras arranco sus secretos a la roca y una cultura antigua olvidada se me revela y me lleva a sus secretos.Este es el comienzo de mis viajes y la base de mi búsqueda adicional de rastros de la cultura olvidada de las ballenas.

Zwischen den Felsen verbirgt sich viel. Viele Geheimnisse...Ich erzähle hier vom Beginn meiner Reisen.An der Küste von Ostgrönland habe ich von einem Felsen mit Petroglyphen erfahren, den ich hierher gekommen bin, um zu untersuchen, und ich finde mehr, als ich mir erträumen könnte.Der Felsen erzählt von einer vergessenen Walkultur, die vor Jahrtausenden entlang der arktischen Küsten lebte und alles auf ihren Walfang basierte. Eine Kultur, die ganz auf das Meer und was es zu bieten hat entwickelt wurde.Eine Entdeckung folgt der anderen, während ich dem Felsen seine Geheimnisse entreiße und eine vergessene uralte Kultur sich mir offenbart und mich in ihre Geheimnisse hineinzieht.Dies ist der Beginn meiner Reisen und Grundlage meiner weiteren Spurensuche der vergessenen Walkultur.Übersetzung aus dem spanischen Original.
