Preserving the Past.
Expanding What We Know.
We believe the story of humanity is still unfolding.
Originally launched through AET TRI as an independent preservation effort, the mission later expanded into a nonprofit collaborative now known as T.E.A.M.
The Earth Ark Mission (T.E.A.M.) is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to the ethical preservation, responsible study, and public education of historically significant artifacts, cultural discoveries, and evidence that may deepen humanity’s understanding of ancient civilizations and human history.
Across the world, meaningful discoveries are often lost, damaged, hidden in private collections, or dismissed before they receive proper documentation and careful review. Important pieces of our shared history deserve more than neglect or speculation — they deserve stewardship, transparency, and thoughtful inquiry.
T.E.A.M. was created to serve as a bridge between curiosity and evidence, bringing together researchers, scientists, educators, historians, collectors, cultural stewards, and the public in a shared commitment to preserving what matters and learning together.
We are not asking people to believe everything.
We are asking people to help investigate, preserve, and learn together.
Our Mission
To responsibly preserve and study artifacts and discoveries of historical significance while making knowledge accessible to the public through research, education, and transparent exploration. We approach each discovery with both rigor and humility—honoring what is known, investigating what remains uncertain, and protecting what may otherwise be lost.
Preservation & Stewardship
We work to safeguard culturally and historically significant objects through careful handling, documentation, secure archiving, and responsible custodianship.
Research & Scientific Inquiry
We support independent examination, material analysis, provenance research, historical comparison, and multidisciplinary study to better understand artifacts and their origins.
Public Education
Through exhibitions, documentaries, publications, media, and outreach, we aim to make discoveries accessible, understandable, and meaningful to a wider audience.

Future Vision
We are working toward the creation of The Earth Ark—a future museum, research center, and educational sanctuary where discoveries can be preserved, studied, and shared with future generations.
What We Do
Meet The Earth Ark Mission Founders
Pamela Gillet | Founder
Pamela’s path reflects a rare balance of scientific curiosity, professional discipline, and lifelong inquiry. With a degree in Biology and a successful background in finance, she has long united analytical thinking with a deep interest in history, symbolism, and humanity’s untold past.
As significant artifacts and discoveries began entering her life, Pamela recognized the need for responsible stewardship, documentation, and protection. In response, she founded AET TRI, LLC as the first organizational vessel for this work—an independent effort dedicated to preserving important pieces and supporting deeper investigation.
What began as a personal calling soon revealed itself to be something larger.
It became clear that no single individual could carry a mission rooted in preserving humanity’s deeper story. The work required broader expertise, shared responsibility, and a community committed to truth, integrity, and open inquiry.
From that realization, Pamela joined forces with Krista and Yssah to create The Earth Ark Mission (T.E.A.M.)—a nonprofit initiative designed to expand the mission through collaboration, research, education, and long-term public service.
Her leadership continues to guide the organization with courage, humility, and steadfast dedication to preservation.
Krista Sturgill | Co-Founder & President
Krista’s work is defined by a deep understanding of systems—both digital and biological—and how unseen structures shape the world we experience.
With a longstanding passion for cybersecurity and complex information systems, she developed a precise awareness of how data, infrastructure, and integrity interact beneath the surface of modern life. This systems-oriented lens expanded beyond technology into living systems, where biology, environment, ancient knowledge, and frequency operate with equally intricate intelligence.
Having lived internationally for over a decade, Krista’s perspective has been shaped through exposure to diverse environments, cultures, and energetic landscapes—deepening her awareness of how place, ecology, and human systems interact.
Her focus evolved toward water as a living interface: a medium of transmission, memory, and coherence between the human body and its environment. Through this, she began exploring microorganisms as active contributors to ecological and biological balance.
Krista is known for translating complexity into clarity, bridging technical precision with intuitive perception. Her approach is grounded, observational, and integrative.
As Co-Founder and President of T.E.A.M. — The Earth Ark Mission, she guides the organization’s structural and operational alignment as it expands globally.
Yssah | Co-Founder, Vice President & Treasurer
Yssah’s work is rooted in the exploration of ancient civilizations, cosmology, cross-cultural wisdom traditions, and the enduring relationship between science, symbolism, and human consciousness.
With years of international experience, educational outreach, and interdisciplinary study, she brings a global perspective to the mission and a passion for helping others engage with humanity’s shared inheritance.
Her research journey with artifacts and historical mysteries deepened through firsthand encounters, field relationships, and a commitment to preserving discoveries with care and respect.
As Co-Founder, Vice President, and Treasurer, Yssah strengthens the organization’s educational vision, cultural outreach, and mission stewardship.

Integrity
We prioritize honesty, responsibility, and transparency in all work.
Respect
We honor cultures, communities, provenance, and the importance of ethical stewardship.
Curiosity
We ask meaningful questions without sensationalism or predetermined conclusions.
Rigor
We value evidence, documentation, scientific process, and careful review.
Service
We believe preserving knowledge is a responsibility to future generations.
How We Work
Why It Matters
History shapes identity.
When important discoveries are ignored, hidden, or lost, humanity loses part of its memory. When they are preserved, studied, and openly explored, new understanding becomes possible. Some discoveries confirm what we already know. Others challenge us to ask better questions.
Both matter.
The advancement of knowledge has always depended on those willing to preserve evidence, remain curious, and investigate with honesty.
Looking Forward
The Earth Ark Mission is building toward a future where meaningful discoveries are no longer hidden, dismissed, or forgotten.
We envision a trusted institution where history, science, culture, and curiosity meet—where artifacts can be responsibly preserved, studied with integrity, and shared with the world.
This mission is bigger than any one founder.
It is a growing team, a living archive, and an invitation to all who care about truth, history, wonder, and the future.
Join T.E.A.M.
Whether you are a researcher, scientist, historian, educator, collector, supporter, or simply someone who values humanity’s shared story, there is a place for you in this mission.
Together, we can preserve what matters, investigate responsibly, and pass forward a richer understanding of human history.
The past still has more to teach us.
