I'm really not certain how best to begin this so I guess I'll just start with the basics.

My name is Dr Bernard Hawkins. I'm an archaeologist and I've been in my field of study for the past 30 years.

Forgive me if this is a bit impromptu and or formatted incorrectly, as this forum is not my usual medium of research publication.

This may yet prove the best way to publish the information I possess before the academics and

skeptics get a chance to render it into oblivion.

To make what will certainly become a long story short, we found something.

Something which may alter what we know of human history and perhaps the planet Earth itself.

For the last 60 years I've been devoted almost exclusively to dig a site in northern Russia.

Our group is stationed out of Lova Zero, a very remote locality of under 3,000 inhabitants located

This is Siberia, above the Arctic Circle.

The winters are long and tough, with wildly fluctuating day-night cycles depending on the season.

The weather never climbs far above 10 Celsius and a perpetual tundra spans the hills for the

In 2007, a Russian Petroleum Company was probing for new deposits.

They found no reserves of petroleum, but they did find something far more interesting.

Their operations disrupted a small fault line in the land which suddenly erupted into a

fissure splitting earth and ice along with it.

This microquake caused a receded depression in the land to jut outward, almost like a flower

blooming in the spring.

This revealed a cavern that had previously been sealed under the ice.
