Many ancient cultures talk of portals to other worlds and star systems where their "creators"
live. According to conventional knowledge, these stories are nothing more than myths
and legends. However, according to recently disclosed FBI data, our world has been visited
by beings from other dimensions and planets. NASA has claimed that "portals" appear to
be buried within the Earth's magnetic field, raising the question of whether the legends
of stargates, portals, and wormholes are true. In recent years, however, the internet has
been ablaze with speculation that a chart-like engraving in Anuradhapura is a stargate: an
ancient portal via which humanity can access the Universe. Is there truly a real stargate
in Sri Lanka? Join us in today's video as we explore the shocking finding of a Stargate
in Sri Lanka! Sri Lanka's hallowed city of Anuradhapura
is an unusual place to be involved in a strange tales of UFOs and paranormal encounters. The
UNESCO World Heritage Site, known locally as Rajarata (Land of Kings), was the earliest
founded monarchy on the island (in 377 BC) and is at the center of Sri Lanka's Buddhist
culture. It is now one of the most visited destinations in the country, attracting ardent
pilgrims from all across the country to its historic Buddhist temples and massive dome-shaped
stupas. But this hallowed city also houses something even more strange. A chart that
is said to be a map to discover the secrets of the Universe can be found in Ranmasu Uyana
(Golden Fish Park), a 40-acre ancient urban park bordered by three Buddhist temples. Sakwala
Chakraya (which translates to "Universe Cycle" in Sinhalese) is a shallowly cut rock face
among the protected park ruins that is roughly 1.8m in diameter. Its front facade can only
be viewed from ground level. In fact, four seats have been chiseled into the opposing
flat rock surface to provide the best viewing location. Both the map and seats, which are
likewise of uncertain origin, have intrigued historians, archaeologists and academics for
more than a century. "Ranmasu Uyana was used for a prolonged period
in history," stated Professor Raj Somadeva, senior professor of archaeology at Sri Lanka's
University of Kelaniya. "The second major developmental phase seems to have begun in
the 7th Century CE. During that period, several new buildings were added to the earlier garden
layout. The chart could be a work of this period, but it's impossible to know because
its existence, function or anything related to it is not mentioned in any historic records,
which were meticulously kept by Buddhist monks." While little is known about the chart and
its purpose, the symbolism is incongruous with other carvings of the Anuradhapura period
(3rd-10th Century AD). The center of the chart is composed of seven concentric circles separated
by parallel vertical and horizontal lines. Small, crossing circles are seen in rectangular
sections. Figures like umbrellas or bow and arrows, a kite, wavy lines, and cylindrical
shapes are visible to the untrained eye. An outer ring features marine animals such as
fish, turtles, and seahorses. When compared to other carvings from the same period such
as the Sandakada Pathana, which portrays vines, swans and a lotus, all indicative of Buddhist
imagery, the chart is without religious context, leaving it without an evident explanation
as to why it is here. This has left it wide open to online speculation.
Before the internet, the chart received little attention in Sri Lanka. It is claimed to have
survived here, tucked away at the edge of a hill, following the fall of the Anuradhapura
monarchy; unimpressive in comparison to its breath-taking surrounds complete with twin
ponds and bathing pavilions believed to have been used by royalty. In fact, if aliens did
arrive on Earth through here, they couldn't have chosen a better location: these precious
temple grounds are mostly abandoned and safeguarded by authorities.
H C P Bell, a British civil officer appointed as the first Commissioner of Archaeology of
Ceylon (Sri Lanka's former name), was the first scholar to recognize the chart's archaeological
significance. In his 1911 report for the Governor of Ceylon, Bell included a description of
the chart, concluding that, "This ancient 'map of the world', perhaps the oldest in
existence, is of quite extraordinary interest. Its presence… testifies to the antiquity
of that astronomical lore still pursued in some of the Buddhist monasteries of Ceylon."
While the chart does not resemble a map in a modern sense, Bell said that it displays
"an old-time cosmographical chart illustrating in naivest simplicity the Buddhistic notions
of the universe". He interpreted the circles, the symbols and marine life on the map, based
on his understanding of Buddhism on the island, to signify the Earth, the seas, outer space
and the Universe. While discussions about the chart were mostly
confined to scholarly circles for many years due to its historically significant position,
the expansion of photo-sharing on social media in recent years has placed a global spotlight
on the riddle. Tourists with keen eyes have noticed similarities between the Anuradhapura
chart and comparable sites in other nations that are thought by some to be stargates - ancient
portals through which people may enter the Universe. Their argument claims that the chart
has the secret code for accessing the gateway. Conspiracy theorists pointed out that the
Anuradhapura stargate had nearly identical shapes and markings to those found at Abu
Ghurab in Egypt and La Puerta de Hayu Marka in Peru. The most remarkable resemblance,
it was claimed, as rumors around Sri Lanka's stargate reached an all-time high is its proximity
to water. The neighboring Tissa Weva reservoir, created in 300 BC, has been cited as definitive
evidence, because both Abu Ghurab and La Puerta de Hayu Marka were built near water, allowing
extra-terrestrial beings to process gold from Earth's water, according to the stargate idea.
This alien hypothesis has been further fanned by the chart's proximity to Danigala peak,
popularly known as Alien Mountain, in the adjacent sacred city of Polonnaruwa. Danigala,
which hides deep in the bush and is popular with hikers, has a unique circular form and
fully flat top. This led internet nerds to believe that it must have, at one time, been
utilized for UFO landings. Surprisingly, "villagers in the area do believe that Alien Mountain
attracts more shooting stars and thunder and lightning above it than anywhere else." according
to Sri Abeywickrama, a local tour guide. The supporters of the 'processing gold from
Earth' theory think that the water conduits, chambers, reservoirs, and filters found near
each stargate were part of a sophisticated apparatus created thousands of years ago by
extraterrestrials. If the notion is correct, Ranmasu Uyana was once a "gold processing
center of extraterrestrials" who landed on Earth via stargates. Nonetheless, archaeologists
are willing to dismiss these views as speculative. According to the early archaeologists and
historians the charts could have been a descriptive chart of the universe according to Buddhism
or a basic map of the planet. Historians eventually understood them as depictions of animal evolution,
or the way Tantric Buddhist monks saw the world. It is also thought that they utilized
them for meditation. Archaeologists today reject the notion of linking Egyptian civilization
to Sri Lankan civilization, saying that ours is a distinct island civilization free of
Egyptian or Babylonian influence. The largest issue in determining the function
of the chart, according to Somadeva, has been the absence of evidence to precisely date
it. While Ranmasu Uyana and other parks and stupas in Anuradhapura are documented in chronicles
and inscriptions dating as far back as 250 BC, the Sakwala Chakraya is not described
in any historical documents. "There would definitely have been a practical use for this
diagram but it's a huge challenge to figure out what that might have been when we can't
correctly date it," he added. As a result, it appears that Sri Lanka's intriguing claimed
stargate is still cloaked in mystery, its purpose and meaning lost to time. The chart's
newfound cult status among sci-fi buffs, on the other hand, has finally brought it some
well-deserved public notice. It has finally emerged from the shadow of the larger-than-life
Anuradhapura to stand on its own, thanks to their excitement and the power of social media.
But what does NASA say about these stargates or portals? A frequent concept of science
fiction is "the portal"—an exceptional opening in space or time that connects people to distant
realms. A good portal is a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown. If only they existed
in reality. They do, sort of, as it turns out, and a NASA-funded researcher at the University
of Iowa has worked out how to discover them. "We call them X-points or electron diffusion
regions," explains University of Iowa plasma physicist Jack Scudder. "They're places where
the magnetic field of Earth connects to the magnetic field of the Sun, creating an uninterrupted
path leading from our own planet to the sun's atmosphere 93 million miles away." Observations
by NASA's THEMIS spacecraft and Europe's Cluster probes reveal that these magnetic portals
open and close dozens of times per day. They are often found tens of thousands of kilometers
from Earth, where the geomagnetic field collides with the oncoming solar wind. Most gateways
are modest and fleeting; others are yawning, massive, and long-lasting. Tons of energetic
particles can pass through the gaps, heating the Earth's upper atmosphere, causing geomagnetic
storms, and lighting brilliant polar auroras. To explore the phenomenon, NASA is launched
a mission named "MMS," which stands for Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission. MMS's four spacecraft,
brimming with energetic particle detectors and magnetic sensors, will spread out in Earth's
magnetosphere and surround the portals to study how they work. However, there is one
small problem: finding them. Magnetic gateways are invisible, unstable, and difficult to
locate. They open and close abruptly, "and there are no signposts to guide us in," Scudder
observes. There are, in fact, signposts, and Scudder has discovered them. Magnetic reconnection
causes portals to form. The apertures are formed by crisscrossing and joining lines
of magnetic energy from the sun and Earth. "X-points" are where the crisscross takes
place. The sudden joining of magnetic fields can propel jets of charged particles from
the X-point, creating an "electron diffusion region." To understand how to identify these
occurrences, Scudder looked at data from a space probe that orbited Earth more than 10
years ago. "In the late 1990s, NASA's Polar spacecraft
spent years in Earth's magnetosphere," explains Scudder, "and it encountered many X-points
during its mission." Scudder decided to examine how an X-point appeared to Polar because Polar
contained sensors identical to those of MMS. "Using Polar data, we have found five simple
combinations of magnetic field and energetic particle measurements that tell us when we've
come across an X-point or an electron diffusion region. A single spacecraft, properly instrumented,
can make these measurements." This means that a single MMS constellation member can use
the diagnostics to locate a portal and inform other members of the constellation. Mission
planners long assumed that MMS might need to spend a year or so learning to discover
portals before it could investigate them. Scudder's effort expedites the process, allowing
MMS to begin work immediately. It's a shortcut worthy of the best fictional gateways, except
this time the portals are real. And with the new "signposts" we know how to find them.
