United States of America (Press Release) December 23, 2007 --
"The keys to our future lie hidden in the secrets of the past.”
To the ancient Mayan civilization, Dec. 22nd, 2007, marks the five-year countdown to the end of their calendar and this epoch of our civilization. Nobody knows what this means although some speculate the Mayans – who’ve proven to have highly advanced astronomical and meteorological knowledge – could be predicting a coming apocalypse.
Now, a unique new website is urging members to find out for sure. The site is www.secretsofthepast.com and is set to be a virtual haven and database for amateur explorers, archeological sleuths, and adventure travelers – providing clues and support for expeditions to uncover, you guessed it: Secrets of the Past. There have been many web domains and late-night talk radio programs that cover this genre, but this is a totally new spin on it.
“What we are doing is bringing together a community of web-savvy, enquiring minds who want the questions about our hidden history answered”, says Ken Hawryliw, one of the creators of the site. “The difference, is we don’t want people just reading about or seeing videos depicting these mysteries, we want them on the road and solving them.” The website creates a place for would-be explorers, called Seekers, to exchange information, launch their own investigations and then report back by posting blogs and videos. The members of the site are also given the chance to audition to be special correspondents who embark on full-blown sponsored expeditions, sometimes with celebrity experts leading the way, to uncover these mysteries.
Hawryliw, a former writer and property designer for the hit TV series THE X-FILES is convinced the site will make real discoveries. "There are mysteries of immense importance that have been overlooked by modern science for far too long. And with the clock ticking down on the Mayan Calendar, we've got five years. It's up to our members to solve them and find the truth."
