Sleza
Ladies and Gentlemen, as you will see for yourselves starting archeological work on top of Mount Sleza is by all means a worthy and vital undertaking not only for Poland but also for historical value of the whole world.
On this site we will convey to you the quintessence of most important information concerning archeological research conducted on Sleza’s mountaintop. As events will be unfolding we will keep our information up to date. Taught by experience we will release information at a time suitable for publication.
Before we start to uncover the artifacts from the past and describe how Sleza itself appeared in our Mission’s screenplay, please have a look at the fragment of publication entitled “Silesian Olympus” written by Andrzej Kotowiecki from Cieszyn.
Quote: “When we look at the Sleza Massif (Sleza, Wiezyca and Gozdnica) from the aerial view it resembles the configuration of Orion constellation or the layout of pyramids in Giza, Egypt. At the same time this arrangement is identical to the one you can observe on Earth in 10450 BC and earlier. Don’t the pyramids point out that a mountain massif similar to them should be sought in order to uncover the mystery of archives stored there and the mystery of humankind?

According to the newest archeological exploration the oldest traces of human life on Sleza come from the younger Stone Age that is about 4500 to 1900 BC. Emerging of cult center is connected to a people of old Sumerian culture in Mesopotamia, where deity symbolizes water element EA. Sumerian legends talk about not closely identified race of half-fish half-people who swam upstream with god Oannes (Enki). They taught people the art of writing, building cities, farming and using metals. Ea is of Sumerian origin, they renamed him Enki. After all a lot of Sumerian cities are of pre-Sumerian origin belonging to the culture El Obeid. Sumerians and Babylonians claimed that their civilization was formed by a group of cold water creatures. The leader of this group was Oannes, more precisely Ea, because the name Oannes was Hellenized by the historian Berossos. Ea appears as a god-fish. (There is a sculpture of a man-fish on Sleza).
The most amazing is the history of Graal. Graal’s protector and watchman is the fisherman. Maybe Graal is hidden in Sleza?”
So, to confirm the information received by medium from Wroclaw, Lucyna Lobos we obtained instructions to examine the peak of primeval Mount Sleza near Wroclaw. Before we took any steps to pave the way to Sleza first Lucyna Lobos did a few radiesthetic measurements inside the church and led with an energy key by the Mission’s Guardian she caused the energy protection of the area to become unblocked. This protection made entering the inside of the mountain impossible until now. (There are a lot of entrances to ancient sites on Earth blocked in the same way).
It was not easy to obtain permission for archeological penetration on Sleza. Scientists were convinced that there was no scientific base for archeological penetration of this area and this fact made it harder to start immediate cooperation. However a lucky coincidence allowed us to establish friendly connections with the owners of a sacral building on top of the mountain. This little Christian church went through several attacks by Satanist groups which caused great destruction of the church. As we are closely connected to the area of Lower Silesia we took upon ourselves the task of renovating the demolished church with open hearts. That’s how a friendship was formed between The Mysteries of the World Foundation and Wyzsze Metropolitalne Seminarium Duchowne (Metropolitan Major Spiritual Seminary) in Wroclaw. One of the reconstruction tasks is fixing the church’s floor. Before undertaking this kind of major repair on historical site there was a need for cultural exploration of underground layers. And here luckily, we came into partnership with scientists who not only have studied Sleza for years but also hold it close to their hearts.

After obtaining permission for this kind of work from Regional Service for Historical Monuments Preservation in Wroclaw, legal cooperation with the Institute of Archeology of Wroclaw University began. Based on radiesthetic analysis taken by Lucyna Lobos and geo-radar survey of Dr Adam Szynkiewicz from the Institute of Geological Exploration of Wroclaw University archeological exploration was started. In only the first weeks of advanced excavation works information obtained from messages started to be confirmed tangibly, despite earlier opinions that our expectations were unfounded from the scientific point of view. Only by the way of financing this undertaking we were able to gain favor and the possibility of cooperation.
During the first visit of our Foundation’s representative on Sleza, after completing legal formalities, open press conference took place on October 1st. Aleksander Limisiewicz was interviewed by reporters and gave information on the results of exploration conducted on Sleza in the first weeks of excavation.
Here are the fragments of a statement given by Doctor of Archeology Aleksander Limisiewicz during the above mentioned press conference organized by the city’s alderwoman Beata Dobrucka in the seat of City’s President on October 1st, 2004 in Wroclaw. Dr Limisiewicz’s pronouncement was complemented by screen presentation of pictures taken on Mount Sleza.
In the first pronouncement of Monument Conservator in Wroclaw Mr. Andrzej Kubik said:

Quote: “…
Director A. Kubik: Good morning ladies and gentlemen. At the suggestion of Director of Metropolitan Major Spiritual Seminary in Wroclaw, father Tomasz Zajac a permission has been issued to conduct works to repair the floor in the Church of Our Lady in Sobotka.
It so happens that this is also an opportunity to conduct exploration, which so far had no chance of existing. The sponsor financing this work is Polish American Foundation “The Mysteries of the World” from Chicago.
Thanks to means acquired by this Foundation this costly and prolonged exploration could get started.
On Mount Sleza archeological exploration has been conducted for a long time but only outside the church area, and now as this opportunity arose noninvasive exploration could be conducted, geo-radar penetration, confirming the existence of certain anomalies. They could have only been confirmed by direct archeological exploration. And luckily a group of archeologists from Wroclaw University and a team directed by Dr Aleksander Limisiewicz undertook this work.
I think that Sobotka’s history is rich and more or less known, but what Dr Limisiewicz is going to say will bring you a little closer to it, based on written and oral stories about Sobotka to make the facts more real based on tangible exhibits. Welcome Dr Limisiewicz.

Dr A. Limisiewicz: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Olek Limisiewicz. Exploration on Sleza has been conducted for many years, it started in 18th century. This exploration has resulted in describing the finds. Then from the end of 19th century excavation works have been conducted – and here we have a number of archeologists coming one after another – it is really a great achievement for science in general. After the war two entities conducted works: Polska Akademia Nauk (Polish Academy of Science) and Wroclaw University. Traditionally Wroclaw University explores the top and temple circles from 2500 years ago and PAN with Prof. Domanski explores traces of agricultural activity. Exploration on top of Sleza, within the castle is conducted mainly by Wroclaw University, mostly with the means of Lower Silesian Service for Historical Monument Preservation.
This exploration resulted in a drawing of the castle’s plan, but as the conservator said we haven’t so far succeeded in entering this central point – the church, where we really didn’t expect to find any substantial amount of covered artifacts because the church was build at the end of 17th century – really in 18th century. There are traces of rebuilding from 15th century - a great construction work took place. During this exploration it turned out that the church damaged the castle only to a small degree, that’s why the castle was preserved well just under the church. In this area there was a natural depression and the walls were well preserved and we were lucky to discover the building of Palatium (palace) – the main building in which the prince or his official used to live and also other buildings from this period. The castle dates back to 14th century, it was probably erected in the 1340-ies although we can’t rule out the possibility that it could have been built earlier than that.
And here if you please, I would like to show you a few photographs which will allow me to describe the finds…
Eastern wall of the Palatium with the entrance, very well preserved, a little further there is a little vaulted window and this is the biggest building on this site. It hasn’t been excavated a lot yet, we only uncovered about half of the accessible area so a good picture cannot be taken. We also discovered a descent to the first floor of this layer on the opposite side of the building on the eastern side; it was a vaulted the same way as the cellar, which was under this building. Vaults were destroyed during building of the church and these boulders that you can see on the next photographs are blocking the vaults that fell down and we have trouble getting rid of them.
(Next picture) During works under the pulpit a foundation was discovered and on the very bottom of this foundation we found a fragment of stone sculpture, made out of granite which was made in two different geological periods. It is the older granite – it is more brittle and not well preserved. And here on this color photograph it is hard to see the traces of sculpting; on the next photograph we will see it better.
Please, consider that what we see here is a trunk which ends with a kind of wing. We are guessing that we are dealing here with an imaginary winged beast, it might be a dragon. It would not be strange because this sculpture fell out from the church wall during the renovation – it fell from the church peak. In the museum in Sobotka there is a fragment of a sculpture with a similar ending of wings – it is the other part of the same sculpture.
And now as you can see on the photograph, ladies and gentlemen – this is a base of the same sculpture, it has semicircular base in the same way as the one which we found – these sculptures could be almost glued together. Even though granite doesn’t crack in the same way as glass or ceramics the pieces fit together perfectly when it comes to their size, the way they were made and they way the stone was treated. As you can guess from the photograph it was the back of this animal. The front was found also on the peak about 50 meters from the top in the stone rubble in the 19th century. It was exhibited by St. James’ spring and was called Smok (Dragon) or Gryf (Griffin), but most often Sphinx. We have miniature casts of this sculpture so we will try to fit together the three pieces of what we think is the same sculpture. If we are dealing here with Dragon this is a theme occurring till the end of the 11th century in Northern France and Northern Italy and it is a very symbolic theme and also very Christian, so we think that the sculpture comes from the Romanesque period which is early Middle Ages. Most probably it has something to do with the presence of regular monks on Sleza. Until now there was no interpretation of it and it was disputed whether it is ancient or modern or from early Middle Ages and it was only a thought, a hypotheses, a concept that we had a huge sculpture of supernatural size dating back to early Romanesque period that is first half of 12th century when the monks – Augustinians lived on top of Sleza.
What can we expect next?
Because monument conservator mentioned that geo-radar exploration was being conducted using advanced technology, I would like to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that these blue and red dots indicate the existence of some kind of anomaly – in other words there is radiation with waves travelling with speed a little different than the speed of light.
What we see on the right is the counterpart to the corridor I showed you before and on the left we see another anomaly – it is a Baroque wall which was made during the church’s construction – and here, almost in the middle there is a wall which we haven’t reached yet. If this wall exists - then we will have a castle courtyard beautifully built into a square.
That’s what I can say for today.
P.S.
Isn’t it strange that Polish media made no mention of excavations on Sleza?
************
For present time after hollowing out a space for archeological penetration inside the church and making necessary protection of not only the area but also the church building itself the exploration team is getting ready for vertical drilling using the well method – to the third level of the underground castle layer and going down to ancient mine. Descending underground is anticipated in archeological season 2006.
