The recent discovery of the Pylos Combat Agate in a Mycenaean shaft-grave tomb dating to 1500 BC may be one of the most significant archaeological and artistic finds in decades, perhaps in centuries.

The Pylos Combat Agate brings an astonishing message from 3,500 years ago.

Above is a new video I've just made, entitled "The Pylos Combat Agate among the Infinite Realms," exploring the celestial correspondences in the incredible artwork on this recently-revealed treasure from humanity's ancient past -- as well as discussing their possible significance.

I hope you will enjoy this video, which delves into the discovery of this amazing gem, and the long-forgotten tomb of the Griffin Warrior in which the Pylos Agate lay, accumulating grime and mineral deposits, for over thirty-five centuries.

Previous discussions of this extremely significant archaeological find include:

Additionally, articles I've written about this extraordinary new discovery have been published at Ancient Origins, here: "Is this Minoan artistic marvel a miniaturization of the heavens?"

and at Graham Hancock's website, here: "The Dust of Centuries: Celestial Iconography in the Pylos Combat Agate."

I hope you will enjoy this brand-new video regarding the celestial connections, and profound significance, of the Pylos Agate. After making the video, I realized that video may be the preferred medium for exploring some of the staggering connections between this ancient masterpiece and the infinite realm of the heavens, and the significance of these connections for our understanding of our  own ancient history, and our understanding of the simultaneously spiritual and material world through which we are all traveling in this incarnate life.

The recent discovery of the Pylos Combat Agate in a Mycenaean shaft-grave tomb dating to 1500 BC may be one of the most significant archaeological and artistic finds in decades, perhaps in centuries. The level of artistic sophistication and detail are stunning -- the more so because the piece itself is so small (just over 3.6 centimeters or 1.4 inches at is widest point) and the level of detail is so incredibly high, with some details only a fraction of a millimeter in size: "incomprehensibly small," according to one of the scholars responsible for the discovery. This amazing discovery opens a fascinating new window into the ancient world of the Minoan and Mycenaean cultures, a thousand years or more before classical Greece, and from a time largely shrouded in mystery. The find is already requiring radical revisions to conventional narratives. But the Pylos Combat Agate may have even more astonishing secrets to reveal -- including a connection to a world-wide system of celestial metaphor upon which the world's ancient myths, scriptures and sacred stories, from virtually every culture on every continent and island, are built. Explore the evidence which suggests that the masterful artwork on this newly-discovered gem points directly to the stars, a discovery which can help us to again perceive the message borne by this incredible artifact from humanity's distant past, which has lain buried beneath the earth for three and a half millennia, patiently waiting to be heard.
