JUST WHO THESE "AMERICAN SOURCES" ARE IS STILL A MYSTERY, THOUGH PRODUCER JULIA-LEVY HAS INSISTED TO "THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER" THAT THE DOCUMENTARY'S FINANCIAL BACKERS AND DISTRIBUTORS ARE "MAJOR" HOLLYWOOD PLAYERS. HE ALSO CLAIMS HIS DOCUMENTARY WILL FEATURE AN UNDERWATER MAYA CITY, A MILLENNIA-OLD LANDING PAD ONCE USED FOR SPACECRAFT, AND EVIDENCE OF ANCIENT HUMAN CONTACT WITH EXTRATERRESTRIALS. JULIA-LEVY DESCRIBES THE ALLEGED UNDERWATER CITY AS "A CITY THAT WAS BUILT UNDER WATER, AND NOT A SUNKEN CITY," AND CLAIMS IT WAS FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF A LAKE IN GUATEMALA. HE SAYS FOOTAGE OF THE UNDERWATER CITY WILL FEATURE IN THE DOCUMENTARY. ADDITIONALLY, THE PRODUCER CLAIMS HIS FILM WILL REVEAL "A 3,000-YEAR-OLD SPACECRAFT LANDING PAD THAT WAS ALLEGEDLY BUILT ATOP A ROCK STRUCTURE CAPABLE OF HOLDING ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY."
"RAUL JULIA-LEVY TOLD PIJAMA SURF THAT THIS IMAGE REPRESENTS A TELEPORTATION MACHINE, A TIME MACHINE OR SOME KIND OF TECHNOLOGICAL ARTIFACT, THIS ACCORDING TO A REPORT HE RECEIVED FROM GUATEMALAN ARCHAEOLOGISTS."
IF ALL THIS WEREN'T INTRIGUING ENOUGH, IN A NEW TWIST, JULIA-LEVY CLAIMED LAST WEEK THAT HE WAS RECENTLY CONTACTED BY THE VATICAN. IN A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE "PIJAMA SURF" WEBSITE, JULIA-LEVY SAID HE HAD RECEIVED OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE VATICAN SPOKESMAN, FEDERICO LOMBARDI, WHO HAS REQUESTED A MEETING WITH HIM ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY. JULIA LEVY TOLD "PIJAMA SURF" THAT, ALTHOUGH EXCITED BY THE VATICAN'S INTEREST, HE IS PROCEEDING WITH CAUTION DUE TO WHAT HE VIEWS AS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH'S HISTORICAL SECRECY SURROUNDING THE UFO ISSUE. NEVERTHELESS, HE BELIEVES THE VATICAN IS ACTING IN A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION AND HINTED THAT IT MAY EVEN FURNISH HIS PRODUCTION WITH INFORMATION FROM ITS OWN MURKY UFO FILES.
REVELATIONS" IS SET TO BEGIN PRODUCTION IN FEBRUARY IN THE JUNGLES OF CAMPECHE, MEXICO, AT THE MAYA RUINS OF CALAKMUL. IT IS AT THIS SITE, CLAIMS JULIA-LEVY, THAT THE DOCUMENTARY'S MOST SHOCKING SECRET WILL BE REVEALED. JUST WHAT THIS SECRET IS, HE WON'T SAY, BUT HE CLAIMS IT IS NOTHING LESS THAN "THE MOST IMPORTANT ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDING IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND," ADDING "IT'S GOING TO OPEN THE EYES OF HUMANITY AND ELEVATE THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET. I GUARANTEE IT." AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PROJECT IS DUE IN THE COMING WEEKS AND A PROVISIONAL RELEASE DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR AUGUST. ORIGINALLY, THE ACCLAIMED MEXICAN DIRECTOR JUAN CARLOS RULFO ("THOSE WHO REMAIN") WAS ONBOARD TO HELM, BUT CONFLICTING SCHEDULES WITH HIS OTHER FILM PROJECTS RECENTLY FORCED HIM TO PULL OUT. HE HAS YET TO BE REPLACED.
SO, IS "REVELATIONS" A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS DISCLOSURE, OR MERELY AN AMBITIOUS ATTEMPT AT BOOSTING MEXICAN AND GUATEMALAN TOURISM IN THE HISTORIC YEAR OF 2012? FOR NOW, ALL WE HAVE IS THE WORD OF RAUL JULIA-LEVY. HE INSISTS THAT HIS DOCUMENTARY SHOWS A DEEP RESPECT FOR MAYA CULTURE AND THAT ITS IMPACT WILL BE GLOBAL: "THE PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THE PRODUCTIONS GOING ON NOW THAT ARE RELATED TO THE MAYA THEME IS THAT THEY'RE DOING THEM IN AN ERRONEOUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE MANNER... THIS DOCUMENTARY IS GOING TO SHAKE THE WORLD."
