Dead Men's Secrets
Tantalising Hints of a Lost Super Race

Chapter 26
Flight
THE MERCURY SECRET
So you thought that manned flight began with the Wright Brothers in
1903?
Surprise! Would you believe that flying machines could cross the
oceans and cover the vast distances between continents in the earliest times?
Listen to this. People all over the world have retained separate
memories of a period when aviation was a well-known concept, and flight
was a frequent occurrence.
What is more, their writings demonstrate a knowledge of aerodynamics
and an awareness of the factors of take-off propulsion, braking and landing.
But first I should draw your attention to some giant drawings found all
over the globe. The question is, Why are so many of these designed to be
seen only from above?
PETROGLYPHS MADE TO BE SEEN FROM THE AIR
ENGLAND
1 (S): The Long Man of Wilmington, Sussex, is a human outline 226
feet long, formed by an immense ditch. The figure can be seen solely from
above and even then one has to be high up.
ENGLAND
2 (S): The Gog and Magog giants on hills near Cambridge are of such
dimensions as to suggest that their construction was controlled from the air.
ENGLAND
3 (S): There’s a 360-foot-long white horse at Uffington in the Berkshire
Downs.
ENGLAND
4 (S): The famous Cerne Abbas giant, a 180-foot-human figure, is
outlined by chalk trenches on a Dorset hillside.
ENGLAND
5 (S): The Great Zodiac of Glastenbury was a huge stone calendar, laid
out in a circle 30 miles in circumference, and apparently meant to be seen
from above.
WISCONSIN, U.S.A.
6 (S): Then there are the Elephant and Serpent mounds in Wisconsin.
CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
7 (S): The Mojave Maze.
OHIO, U.S.A.
8 (S): The Great Serpent mound of Bush Creek over 1300 feet long. Its
open jaws are 60 feet.
CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
9 (S): The horse, 40 feet long; the giantess 87 feet high; and the giant 96
feet tall—all three at Bligh.
ARIZONA, U.S.A.
10 (S): The 150-foot-tall giant at Sacaton.
LOUISIANA, U.S.A.
11 (S): Six enormous octagons with a total length of 11.2 miles, near
Poverty Point.
MADISON, WISCONSIN, U.S.A.
12 (S): Colossal gravel carvings of birds that measure 202 feet wing to
wing.
KURINGAI CHASE, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA
13 (S): A 58-foot whale and men up to 34 feet in length.
PERU
14 (S): On the Nazca plain, pictures traced on the ground are so large
that they can be seen only from the air. One is 825 feet long! An amazing
series of geometric patterns, interspersed with artistically sophisticated
pictures of flowers, birds, animals, insects and people, covers 30 square
miles.
Why were they designed so big? Why were they made in such a way
that they are perfectly visible from above, but impossible to spot from the
ground?
(Thus they were not recognized for what they were until 1939, when a
plane flew over them.)
Even the original artists could only have recognized the perfection of
their creations from the air. What is more, a deviation of just a few inches
would spoil the proportions, which, as we see them on aerial photographs,
are perfect.
This is not on a human scale. It suggests, rather, a civilization of titans.
And they evidently possessed highly developed instruments for reckoning.
There are lines which go for miles, remaining absolutely straight while
jumping over (or through) a mountain. They are laid out straighter than by
the best of modern survey techniques.
TARAPACA DESERT, CHILE
15 (S): A stylized figure of a man is 330 feet long.
PERU
CHILE
16 (S): There are said to be many other sites of the Nazca kind in Peru
and Chile.
PERU
17 (S): The Candlestick of the Andes, an 820-foot-high three-armed
stone trident on the cliffside of the Bay of Pisco, can be seen 12 miles out at
sea; but it is oriented skyward. Lying in a bay, it cannot be seen from all
280
sides by passing ships and would have been excessively large for coastal
shipping.
MACHU PICCHU, PERU
ZIMBABWE, RHODESIA
18 (S): In two ancient countries there survive high oval towers like silos
which have no aperture in their walls, as though they were designed to be
entered only by flying beings.
So much for vague speculation; let’s advance to actual reports of
manned flight—and better still, tangible evidence.
HANG GLIDING
CRETE
19 (W): A Greek legend relates that Daedalus constructed wings for
himself and his son Icarus, whom he advised neither to fly high, lest the glue
should melt in the sun and the wings should drop off, nor to fly too near the
sea, lest the pinions be detached by the damp. Just a tale?
PERU
20 (S): Four pieces of Nazcan fabric from tombs were examined under a
microscope. They proved to have a finer weave than present-day parachute
material and a tighter weave than that used by modern hot-air balloonists—
205 X 110 threads per square inch, compared with 160 x 90.
PERU
21 (W): Many of the textiles from Nazca depict flying men.
PERU
22 (O): An Incan legend tells of a boy named Antarqui who flew behind
the enemy lines and reported their positions—thus helping the Incas in
battle.
FLIGHT
SUMERIA
23 (W): Sumerian cylinder seals show great numbers of machines flying
in the sky, as matter-of-factly as if it were a daily occurrence.
BRITISH ISLES
24 (O): Druid legends speak of “magical machines capable of travelling
on land, sea and air”. (One of them was the famous Roth Fail.)
CELTS, BRITAIN
25 (O): Bran’s chariot did not touch the water.
CELTS
26 (O): Manannan’s flying machine took him from Ireland to England
by night.
DRUID TRADITION, BRITAIN
27 (O): Abiris, of Britain, travelled through the air to Greece, with the
aid of a “golden arrow.”
IRELAND
28 (O): Mog Ruith possessed a flying machine and engaged in an aerial
battle over Ireland with a Druid rival.
His craft was not of metal but of stone. A portion of it was erected as a
standing stone by his daughter, Tlachtga, at Cnamchoill near Tipperary.
DRUIDIC TRADITION
29 (O): Like Mog Ruith, Bladad (the father of King Lear) possessed a
flying machine activated by the ley line energies. Both airborne vessels
ended in disaster. Bladad’s crashed at Ludgate Hill on the site of St. Paul’s
Cathedral.
(Often flights would end in disaster with an eclipse terminating the
power source along the lines. This is scientifically valid—see Chapter 4,
explaining ley lines.)
BRITISH ISLES
30 (O): Celtic traditions frequently describe “flying animals covered
with iron armor, which have neither bones nor skeletons and which do not
require food.”1
CLOERA, IRELAND
31 (W): When the large metal anchor of an aerial vessel caught in the
door of a church, the crew, unable to free it, cut the rope and the dirigible
(?), liberated, sailed out of sight.
(But the anchor remained fixed in the door
for centuries, bearing witness to the event.)
BABYLON
32 (W): The “Halkatha” set of laws: “To operate a flying machine is a
great privilege. Knowledge of flying is most ancient, a gift of the gods for
saving lives.”2
CHALDEA, 3000 B.C.
33 (W): A detailed account (occupying almost 100 pages of English
translation) instructs how to build and operate an aircraft, with the various
parts such as vibrating spheres, graphite rods and copper coils. On the
subject of flight, the writer comments on wind resistance, gliding and
stability.3
ASIA MINOR
34 (W): A Hittite tale describes a search for the missing Telepinu, in
which ‘Shamash sent out “a swift eagle” to find him.
ASSYRIA, 1500 B.C.
35 (W): A seal engraving shows two “eagle men” saluting a tower.
Numerous depictions of such “eagles” (or bird men) have been found—men
wearing costumes or uniforms that gave them an eagle appearance.
BABYLON, 2700 B.C.
36 (W): The Epic of Etana describes a flight miles in altitude by means
of an eagle.
In July 1969, Neil Armstrong, from the Apollo II spacecraft, beamed
back the message: “The eagle has landed.”
“Eagle” was the name of the separation lunar module that landed on the
moon. When it first separated from the orbiting spacecraft, the astronauts
told mission control, “The eagle has wings.”
“Eagle” was the symbol of the astronauts also, worn as an emblem on
their suits. As in the Babylonian story, they were “eagles” who could fly
and speak.
MESOPOTAMIA
37 (W): Other texts speak of kings “flying on the wings of birds”; of
“rising from the lower horizons to the lofty ones”; and of a flying god “who
stretched over unknown distances, for countless hours.”
(Even in recent times, African Bantu natives described a geologist’s
light aircraft as a giant bird with the roar of a thousand lions!)
IRAN
38 (W): Taimuraz, the third king of Iran, visited a statue cave gallery in
the mountains of Khaf (Caucasus) on a winged steed (aircraft).
CHINA, 2258—2208 B.C.
39 (W): Emperor Shun not only constructed a flying craft, but also
tested a parachute.
CHINA, 1766 B.C.
40 (W): Emperor Cheng Tang ordered a flying apparatus built and run
on a test flight to Honan province.
CHINA, 340—278 B.C.
41(W): In a poem entitled “Li Sao”, Chu Yuan tells of an aerial voyage
he made at a great height in the direction of the Kun Lun Mountains. This
aerial survey in a jade-colored craft described how it was unaffected by the
wind and dust far below.4
CHINA, 4th cent. A.D.
42 (W): A helicopter: A “flying car” of wood possessed “rotating
blades” that caused the car to travel skyward.
CHINA
43 (W): Paintings in an underground passage system (discovered 1961)
show men on a “flying shield” dressed in modern jackets and long trousers
blowing darts at fleeing animals.
CHINA
44 (W): A stone carving on a grave depicts a dragon chariot flying high
above the clouds.
CHINA
45 (W): There exist numerous other legends about “aerial carriages”,
“wooden birds” and “flying dragons.”
CHINA
46 (W): Unlike ourselves, the Chinese did not have to invent a new term
when the airplane appeared this century: they already had one in their
vocabulary—“fei chi” (flying chariot).
CEYLON, 4th cent. A.D.
47 (W): Gunarvarman travelled in a flying craft to Java—a distance of
2,000 miles.
TIBET
48 (W): Records describe two warring nations who used flying vehicles
and fiery weapons.
TIBET
49 (W): According to an ancient document, the knowledge of the flying
machines (“pearls of the sky”) “is secret and not for the masses.”5
CHINA-TIBET BORDER
50 (W): Inscriptions relate that “the Dropa descended from the clouds
on their machines”; they lost their aircraft during a dangerous landing in
high mountains and suffered great grief in their failure to build a new one.
TIBET
51 (W): According to the Indian epic, Ramayana, Rama flew in a
controlled aerial vehicle from Ceylon to Mount Kailas (in Tibet).
TIBET
52 (W): A Tibetan text contains a description of an “enormous flying
wagon made of a black metal with an iron base, not drawn by horses or
elephants but by machines as large as those animals.6
TIBET
53 (W): An old book bound in animal hide and tied with leather thongs,
shows a drawing of an egg-shaped device flying over a high mountain.
RUSSIA
54 (W): There survives an ancient relief of an airship.
NEPAL
55 (W): At the command of his king, Rumanvit requested the court
designers to construct a flying vehicle, but they informed him that they were
unable. They knew the workings of many machines, but the secret of flying
machines was known only to the “Yavanas”. A Yavana eventually came
from the west and fulfilled the king’s wish to see the world from the air, but
without revealing to him the mechanics of flying.7
“Yavana” is derived from Javan, a grandson of Noah, whose
descendants inhabited Greece and Mediterranean islands several centuries
after the Flood. Noorbergen ventures the opinion that there was “a
conscious effort on the part of the high civilization centers not to proliferate
advanced technology among those post-Babel peoples who had lost
knowledge, but rather to keep that technology for their own use and
power.”8
And speaking of the Yavanas (the Greeks)…
GREECE, 400-365 B.C.
56 (W): Archytas of Tarentum set in motion a flying machine in the
form of a wooden dove by means of compressed air.
GREECE
57 (W): Grecian legends of “winged beasts” and “winged sandals”
may all be poetically distorted remembrances of ancient aircraft.
It would appear that winged representations throughout the world are
nothing more than the memory of facts far in the past. It is the core of the
myth, saga or legend that has to be grasped.
ETHIOPIA
58 (W): Familiar to us all is the Bible story of the visit to King Solomon
by a queen from the south.
Now comes the discovery of the Ethiopian epic Kebra Nagast (c. 850
B.C.), which tells the story from the other side. It records that King
Solomon of Israel lavished on a visiting Ethiopian queen enormous riches
and gifts…and a vessel wherein one could traverse the air.” Carrying a
cargo of animals as well as men, via Egypt, it “travelled in one day a
distance which (usually) took three months to traverse.”9
INDIA
59 (O): In Srinagar, India, is a mountain called Tahkti Suleiman
(“Solomon’s Mountain”).
Very strange that a mountain in India’s highlands should be named after
a Hebrew king—except that Mohammedan tradition declares King Solomon
flew there in a flying machine and arranged for the construction of the
temple on the summit.
INDIA
60 (W): One type of aircraft used in India was “as big as a temple and
five stories high.”10
INDIA
61(W): The Mahabharata (written 500 B.C., but referring to a period
1,000 to 2,000 years earlier) makes repeated references to great god-kings
riding about in vimanas or “celestial cars,” described as “aerial chariots
with sides of iron clad with wings”. They were used both for peaceful
transportation and in war.
There is mention of some flying cars which have crashed and are out of
action, others standing on the ground, others already in the air.
The vimana was shaped like a sphere and borne along at great speed on
a mighty wind generated by mercury. It moved in any way the pilot might
desire, up or down, forward or backward.
INDIA
62 (W): The Ramayana (likewise very ancient) describes one vimana as
“furnished with window compartments and excellent seats.”
“Bhima flew along in his car, resplendent as the sun and loud as
thunder…The flying chariot shone like a flame in the night sky of summer.”
The vimana was a double-deck circular aircraft with portholes and a
dome. It flew with the “speed of the wind” and gave forth a “melodious
sound.” A pilot had to be well trained; otherwise no vimana was placed in
his hands. The craft performed maneuvers which only helicopters can do
partially today, i.e., stop and remain motionless in the sky.
Detailed descriptions of the ocean and landscape from a great aerial
height are given.
The vimanas were kept in hangars, and employed for warfare, travel or
sport. “A vimana rose vertically into the air with a whole family on board,
and with a tremendous noise.”
INDIA
63 (W): The ancient Samarangana Sutradhara relates that “the chariot
was automatic; big and well-painted, it had two floors and many rooms and
windows.”
This document deals with take-off, cruising for thousands of miles,
normal and forced landings, and even with possible collisions of aircraft
with birds.
The advantages and disadvantages of different types of aircraft are
discussed at length, as to their relative capabilities of ascent, cruising speed
and descent, and recommendations given regarding suitable metals for
construction.
Also dealt with are informative details on how to take pictures of enemy
planes, methods of determining their approach pattern, means of rendering
their pilots unconscious, and how to destroy enemy planes. The secret of
making planes invisible, and the secret of hearing conversations and other
sounds in enemy planes is documented.
A description of the fuel power source:
“Within it must be placed the mercury engine, with its heating apparatus
made of iron underneath.
“In the larger craft, because it is built heavier, four strong containers of
mercury must be built into the interior. When these are heated by controlled
fire from the iron containers, the vimana possesses thunder power through
the mercury. The iron engine must have properly welded joints to be filled
with mercury, and when fire is conducted to the upper part, it develops
power with the roar of a lion. By means of the energy latent in mercury, the
driving whirlwind is set in motion, and the traveller sitting inside the vimana
may travel in the air, to such a distance as to look like a pearl in the sky.”
The intricate knowledge of aircraft and flying was deliberately
controlled by a select few.
Precautions were taken against industrial espionage and unlicensed
manufacture.
The mercury was heated by “a special flame capable of being directed.”
(A laser?)
Sir Isaac Newton wrote: “Because the way by which mercury may be
impregnated, it has been thought fit to be concealed by others that have
known it, and therefore may possibly be an inlet to something more noble,
not to be communicated without immense danger to the world.”11
What it is about mercury that could be of “immense danger” to the
world we do not know. Yet it seems apparent that the ancients were well
aware of the practical application of mercury.
The secret is still beyond our present technology. However, at an
international space congress in Paris, in 1959, there was talk of producing an
“iono-mercurial engine”; and in 1966 the French were planning to launch a
satellite powered by a “mercury solar furnace”.
TURKESTAN
GOBI DESERT
64 (S): Russian excavators recently discovered in caves what may be
age-old instruments used in aircraft flight. These are hemispherical objects
of glass or porcelain, ending in a cone, each carefully sealed and each
containing a single drop of mercury 12
INDIA
65 (W): The Mahavira records that “an aerial chariot, the Pushpaka,
conveys many people to the ancient capital of Ayodhya. The sky is full of
stupendous flying-machines, dark as night, but picked out by lights with a
yellowish glare.”13
INDIA
66 (W): The Vedas tell us of vimanas of various types and sizes: the
“agnihotravimana” with two engines, the “elephant vimana” with more, and
other types named after the kingfisher, ibis, etc.—very much as we now
christen aircraft types. Doesn’t that flying “elephant” remind one of our
“jumbo” jets?
INDIA
67 (W): The Valmiki says: “The sky chariot…is gilded and lustrous
throughout…it leaps above the hill and the wooded valley, winged like
lightning…covered in smoke and flowing lamps, speedy and round of
prow.”14
INDIA
68 (W): The Sanskrit term “vimana vidya” means the science of
building and piloting airships.
INDIA
69 (W): G.R. Josyer, director of the International Academy of Sanskrit
Research in Mysore, has translated into English the 3,000-year-old
Vymanika Shastra, meaning “the Science of Aeronautics”.15
It has eight
chapters (6,000 lines), with diagrams, on the construction of three types of
aircraft.
Information covers:
• The design of a helicopter-type cargo plane and drawings for
double- and triple-decked passenger planes for as many as 500
people.
• Plans for an aircraft that flew in the air, travelled under water, or
floated pontoon like on the water.
• The qualifications and training of pilots.
• The planes were equipped with cameras, radio and a kind of
radar, as well as apparatuses that could not catch fire or break.
• Instructions on how to make the aircraft invisible to enemies,
how to paralyze other aircraft, how to create the illusion of a
star-spangled sky, how to zig-zag in the sky like a serpent, how
to see inside an enemy’s airplane, how to spy on “all activities
going on down below on the ground”.
• Also the correct proportions of certain chemicals which will
envelop the aircraft and give it the appearance of a cloud.
This document contains formulas which would make our aircraft
manufacturers gape in astonishment, and if mastered would herald a new
era in aviation.
INDIA
70 (W): The wise sage Agastya is credited, among other things, with
having built an airship.
INDIA
71(W): The Panchatantra records that six young men constructed a
dirigible airship which could take off, fly or land. The zeppelin was
operated by a complex control system, providing a safe, fast flight and
perfect maneuverability.
EGYPT
72 (W): A legend tells of a king within the belly of a “white bird”
which came down in a “trail of fire.”
EGYPT
73 (S): Fourteen model airplanes found in various tombs may be
replicas of full size airplanes of over 2,000 years ago.
One model recently flew perfectly, demonstrating a knowledge of
aerodynamics on the part of its makers.16
As most Egyptian tomb models are linked to larger originals, it is
possible that under the desert sands there may be remains of life-size gliders.
Clearly the models were not accidental or merely toys. Rather, they
were the end product of an enormous body of computation and
experimentation, embodying principles of aircraft design that have taken
European and American designers a century of experimental work to
discover and perfect.
EASTER ISLAND
74 (W): Easter Island fragments speak of—“flying men in hats”.
AUSTRALIA
75 (O): An Arnhem Land Aboriginal legend speaks of a great silver
bird which landed upon a plateau to lay a big silver egg out of which the
first tribesmen hatched. They were white-skinned.
AUSTRALIA
76 (O): A legend from the Ayers Rock region recalls a great red colored egg which tried to land safely but broke (crash-landed). Out of it
emerged white people and their children.
In time the great egg rusted away until its remains had merged with the
ground.
AUSTRALIA
77 (O): The Dharuk tribe of New South Wales spoke of Biramea the
Bird Man, who laid a great egg near the present town of Linden, from which
their ancestors hatched.
PONAPE ISLAND
78 (O): Light-skinned men came from the west in “shining boats” that
“flew above the sea”.
Their stay was brief, but the natives still speak of the “magical works”
the ancient Westerners performed.
MANGAREVA, GAMBIER ISLAND
79 (O): A “flying canoe” with great wings “clasped tightly to the side”
appeared and its pilots were able to fly great distances—as far as the
Hawaiian Islands, nearly 2,500 miles away.
ISLAND OF TARA-VAI
80 (W): A detailed description and an actual artist’s model of the
ancient flying canoe.
(The wings in particular remind one of the winged solar disk of Horus,
pictured in Egyptian art.)
NEW ZEALAND
81 (O): Maori legends speak of Pourangahua, who flew from Hawaiki to
New Zealand on a magic bird. “I come and a new heaven turns above me”
(referring to the Southern Hemisphere sky, with different constellations
above.)
NEW ZEALAND
82 (O): Maui “fished up” (or discovered) the North Island of New
Zealand, which is called “the fish of Maui” and is shaped like a ray-fish
with its open mouth in the south and the long tail in the north with one fin
on the hook—but this shape can only be seen on the map, or from high
above the earth!
GREENLAND
83 (O): Certain Eskimo tribes were flown from Central Asia to
BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA
84 (O): The Haida Indians in the Queen Charlotte Islands retain the
tradition of great sages who descended from the sky on “disks of fire”.
CANADA
85 (O): Canadian Indians tell of the ancient times when “demons came
and made slaves of our people and sent the young to die among the rocks
and below the ground (mining?). But then arrived the thunderbird, and our
people were freed. We learned about the marvellous cities of the
thunderbird, which were beyond the big lakes and rivers to the south.
“Many of our people left us and saw these shining cities and witnessed
the grand homes and the mystery of men who flew upon the skies. But then
the demons returned, and there was terrible destruction. Those of our people who had gone southward returned to declare that all life in the cities was
gone—nothing but silence remained.”17
The name “thunderbird” (or “firebird”) is used by the Indians of the
U.S.A., Canada and Alaska. This is the animal we see at the top of the
totem pole.
U.S.A.
86 (O): The Hopi Indians of the southwest United States have a similar
tradition of people who made a “patuwvota” which soared through the sky.
On this, many of them flew to attack a great city.
Soon others from many nations were making “patuwvotas” and flew to
attack one another.18
U.S.A.
87 (O): Paiute Indians tell of the “Hav-Musuvs” who travelled from the
Gulf of California to Death Valley (when it was still green and fertile) and
built subterranean cities in caves.
They flew in huge silent craft, which had weapons.
MEXICO
88 (W): Paintings in Mexico City show Quetzalcoatl flying in a winged
ship. He is said to have descended at Vera Cruz.
TABASCO, MEXICO
89 (W): A carved monolith portrays a man sitting inside a dragon, his
feet working pedals, his left hand on a “gear lever,” his right hand carrying a
small box, his head enveloped in a helmet; directly in front of his lips is an
apparatus that might be identified as a microphone.
MEXICO
90 (W): King Netzahualcoyotl of the Aztecs designed aircraft.
MEXICO
91 (W): Pictorial representations of what appear to be aircraft or
rockets have been increasingly identified or recognized in the art of the
ancient cultures of Central and South America.
MEXICO
92 (W): Maya documents from Yucatan speak of “creatures arriving on
flying ships.”
SALVADOR, BRAZIL
93 (W): An unearthed vase shows men flying above a group of palms in
curious machines which leave a trail of smoke behind them.19
COSTA RICA
VENEZUELA
COLOMBIA
94 (S): Models resembling modern jet airplanes have been discovered in
various tombs.
They possess delta wings, engine housing, a cockpit, windshield,
flanged tail and elevators.
These models have passed aerodynamic tests; fourteen models are
known to exist, some with two sets of wings.20
BRAZILIAN JUNGLE
95 (0): Fables tell of “wizards in flying boats” who stayed briefly, then
“flew away on their colored ships.”
PERU
96 (0): There are many Peruvian legends telling of men who flew.
BOLIVIA
97 (W): There are three rows of “flying kings” on the gateway of the
Sun at Tiahuanaco.
BOLIVIA
98 (0): Indians of the La Paz region say that thousands of years ago their
ancestors travelled in great golden disks which were kept airborne by means
of sound vibrations at a certain pitch, produced by continual hammer blows.
Kept airborne by the vibrations of continual hammer blows? (Point 98)
Really???
You know, this is not so absurd. Vibrations of a set frequency may have
had the effect of increasing the atomic energy of gold, thus reducing the
weight of the disk and enabling it to overcome the force of gravity.
In what is now a dead city of the Deccan (in India) monks today are said
to free metals from terrestrial gravity and endow them with energy. The
method? Striking them incessantly with tiny hammers; it is the sound thus
produced which effects the change.
Certain crystals can make a connection between mechanical and
electrical energy—the so-called piezoelectric effect. A sharp blow to a
quartz crystal under pressure can cause thousands of volts of electricity to be
discharged from it.
In photography, the modern Flipflash-10, a rectangular flash that lasts
for ten pictures, receives its electricity from a piezoelectric crystal inside the
camera. When struck by a tiny hammer triggered by the shutter, this crystal
converts the mechanical impact into electrical energy.
(Why not experiment for yourself? If you strike a block of quartz with a
hammer, a burst of power will cause a hundred-watt globe wired to it to
blaze up momentarily.)
…
Even as I write, fresh developments emerge. Researcher William
Deiches has discovered something most surprising.
EGYPT
99 (S): A breastplate found in the tomb of Tutankhamen bore a diagram
which upon analysis was found to depict parts of a plane. (Like other
unexplained tomb drawings, it had long been considered just a pretty
picture.) In 1982, Deiches built from the diagram a working model—and
yes, it flew!
Deiches’ theory that aircraft were in regular use 4,000 years ago so
impressed the British Royal Aeronautical Society that in August 1984 they
endorsed his plan to obtain a financial sponsor so that he can build a replica
of this ancient plane.
MIGHT ANCIENT AIRCRAFT BE FOUND?
One is led to contemplate the intriguing possibility, however remote, of
such a discovery. Craft could be of any size and of surprising shapes.
Did you notice how frequently ancient flying machines were described
as shaped like an “egg”, a “hat”, a “sphere” or a “disk”? (See items 53, 61,
62. 74, 75, 76, 77, 84 and 98.)
While it is the purpose of this work to present positive knowledge rather
than vague speculation, I submit the following reports as a matter of interest.
Consider them in the context of what has preceded. After all, Professor
W.B. Emery, who had spent most of his life digging in Egypt, did say,
“There is more lying under the sands than has ever been found.”
EGYPT
100 (S): During the early period of Egypt’s overtures with Israel,
permission was accorded to Israeli archaeologists (if we are to accept one
magazine report) to dig near the Snofru Pyramid at Dahshur.
Late in February 1979, at a depth of 50 feet, they broke into a cave,
which to their astonishment contained a 40-foot disk-shaped craft.
Photographs of the craft, which was equipped with ultra sophisticated
devices, were delivered to Israel’s Defense Ministry.
On March 2, in a lightning raid, Golani Brigade commandos took charge
of the object. It was brought to Tel Aviv.
Initial tests with weaponry as well as with rejuvenating chemicals found
on board allegedly left officials half-stunned.
Egyptian archaeologists shortly after unearthed a second craft under the
Bent Pyramid and were under pressure to release it to the United States.1
I suspect that this report may not be verifiable due to policies of secrecy
on the part of the three governments. Nevertheless, some credibility is
suggested in light of the following fact.
EGYPT
101 (W): While visiting Lhasa, Tibet, in the 1920s the American
travellers Anderson and Shearer were shown statements from ancient
manuscripts to the effect that an airship was buried inside the Great Pyramid
at Giza, Egypt.2
It should be noted that this information is independent from the first
both in place and time.
BRAZIL
102 (0): Deep in the jungles of northwestern Brazil the Ugha Mongulala
tribe have severed contact with the outside world. In 1972, their chief
Tatunca supplied to Karl Brugger details concerning underground chambers
littered with metal objects and equipment. One relic is asserted to be a
rocketlike flying machine with a brilliant golden sheen. It can hold only two
men and is described as having neither sails nor rudder. Nearby sits a
strange bowl-shaped vehicle with seven long legs which “resemble curved
bamboo sticks and are moveable.”3
It must be said that certain additional features in the chief’s account are
consistent with discoveries on other continents.
He referred to:
1. Ever-burning lights (see Chapter 25, items 21 to 49).
2. Bodies immersed in a preserving fluid (compare Chapter 25, item
31).
3. Corpses with six fingers and toes. Similarly endowed humans
appear in biblical records 4 and in recent tomb discoveries.
In my opinion, such unlikely elements in the tale of a remote tribesman
do tend to endow the report, as a whole, with a certain credibility.
Investigation of Tatunca Nara on other matters has disclosed the fact
that on each point where his credibility can be checked, he has told the truth.
On September 25, 1972, at the chief’s invitation, Brugger and a
cameraman set out on a six-week journey from Manaus to Tatunca’s distant
jungle homeland. Ultimately the “green hell”, with its savage surprises,
took its mental and physical toll. The two Europeans were forced to turn
back when only ten days from their destination. The chief, garbed in
loincloth and paint, continued on alone.
ENERGY SOURCES
In this chapter, we have detected traces of an ancient power technology
more advanced than our own:
1. Energy from sound waves generated by magnetized rods or
hammering (see item 98).
Sanskrit books state plainly that aircraft could be driven solely
by the power of sound, tunes and rhythms.
Interestingly, in modern automobile tests, an ultrasonic reactor
attached to a carburetor almost doubled petrol mileage with very
little exhaust gas. This simple gadget was based on a system of
harmonic resonance within the atomic structure of liquids.
2. The power latent in mercury (see items 61, 63 and 64).
3. Electromagnetic energy obtained directly from the atmosphere (see
item 29; also Chapter 27, item 1; and Chapter 28, item 25).
A number of scientists believe that electromagnetic energy supersedes
the orthodox laws of gravity. The fundamental characteristics of gravity still
elude analysis by modern physics.
Were you aware that magnetic currents can be used not only to
neutralize gravity but as motive power?
Spinning objects made of selected materials have been shown to
generate an electromagnetic energy field when placed in rapid relative
motion. If this force field is made to undulate, a secondary gravitational
field is produced, which can “neutralize” earth’s gravity.
Disk airfoils three feet in diameter and incorporating an electrical
condenser charged with 150 kilovolts have been made to fly under their own
power. The disks moved under the influence of interaction between
electrical and gravitational fields, in a fifty-foot-diameter course.
An electromagnetic force field would cause the vibratory frequency of
an object to be altered in such a way that it opposes the frequency of the
gravitational field. It would act upon all parts of the craft simultaneously. A
vehicle thus propelled would be able to change direction, accelerate to
thousands of miles an hour, or stop.
Do you see, man now uses the sledge-hammer approach to high-altitude,
high-speed flight. He has to increase power in the form of brute thrust many
times over in order to achieve just twice the speed.
By his present methods, man actually fights against the forces that resist
his efforts.
But in using a gravitic field to provide the basic propulsive force, he
would make his adversary work for him.
If the coupling effect between
gravity and electricity can actually be harnessed and used for propulsion
purposes, then we would have a free and inexhaustible power supply.
If we could thus conquer gravity, the headaches of transmission of
power from the engine to wheels or propellers would cease to exist.
The oil consuming car engine and hydroelectric generators would become obsolete.
The work of the world could be done with tiny amounts of energy.
Construction of large buildings and bridges would be revolutionized by
temporary induced weightlessness.
I think you’ll agree, we seem to have lost something.
Chapter 27
To the moon and beyond
WERE WE ON THE MOON IN
2309 B.C.?
In 1926, Professor A.W. Bickerton declared the concept of shooting at the
moon to be foolish and impossible. In 1935, the noted astronomer F.R.
Moulton wrote that man could never travel in outer space. In 1957, Dr.
Richard van der Riet Wooley (former Astronomer Royal) called the idea of
space travel “utter bilge”. Eight months later Sputnik I was orbiting the
earth.
In a remote northern area of Tibet lie the ruins of the Hsing Nu capital,
discovered by Duparc in 1725.
Within the city, Duparc came upon a mass of monoliths (once coated
with silver), a pyramid, part of a tower of blue porcelain, and a royal palace,
containing thrones with sun and moon images. There was also a large milky
white stone surrounded by exquisite drawings.
Now for the stunning sequel. In 1952, a Soviet expedition arrived. The
group was shown by Tibetan monks some ancient documents, whose
descriptions agreed with those of Duparc.
But here is the breathtaking part: the milky white stone, so said the
documents, was “brought from the moon.”
Moon rock? Is it possible? Could man actually have left this earth and
gone to the moon in ages past? Was space travel a natural adjunct to his
civilization? Are there clues?
Indeed there are. Indications of the reality of ancient space travel do
come from widely separated parts of the world. Written and oral tradition is
widespread—and, it seems, reliable.
Chinese historians in particular never tried to please their rulers at the
expense of truth. Death was preferred to untruthful reports of history. As an
example we have the fate of historians in the reign of Chi in 547 B.C. We
should therefore take seriously the historical reports of China, even if they
seem at first to he far-fetched.
There is a tendency in scientific circles nowadays to regard ancient
documents and even mythology and folklore - as sources of history.
Anthony Roberts expresses it this way: “Legends are like time-capsules that
preserve their contents through ages of ignorance.”1
In regard to some of the chronicles cited hereafter, internal evidence will
carry its own proofs of authenticity.
My first source is an old manuscript described by James Churchward,
the English scholar who wrote decades before people spoke of artificial
satellites and spaceships.2
INDIA
1 (W): Vehicles that could revolve around the earth (i.e., satellites):
“Their fuel is drawn from the air in a very simple and cheap way. The
motor is something like a modern turbine: it works from one chamber to
another and does not stop or stall unless switched off. If nothing happens it
continues to function. The ship in which it is built could revolve as long as
it liked around Earth, only falling when the parts of which it is made were
burnt up.
INDIA
2 (W): Philosophers and scientists who orbited the earth “below the
moon and above the clouds” are spoken of in the ancient Surya Siddhanta.3
Giant satellites made of shiny metal and turning about an axis are
described in detail in ancient Sanskrit texts, right down to their dimensions
and interiors, as well as smaller craft that fly between them and the earth.
CHALDEA
3 (W): Two “modern” rockets emitting rays at the rear, a box like a
loudspeaker and a “copy” of a Gemini capsule—are engraved on a copper
chisel unearthed at Ur.
SUMERIA
4 (W): Pictographic texts describe three related objects on display in
Sippar: the golden sphere (command module?), the “GIR” (a long arrow shaped object, divided into several compartments) and the “alikmahrati,”
meaning “advancer that makes vessel go” (i.e., a motor, or an engine).
Together they look very much like a three-part rocket ship.
Another explicit sign is the combination of two words “DIN” and
‘GIR.” When joined together to form the word “gods,” the tail of the fin like
“gir” fits perfectly into the opening of the rocket like “din,” which exhausts
fire from its tail.
PERU
5 (W): A clay vessel 8½ inches high portrays a kind of “space capsule”
on which motor and exhaust are clearly recognizable.
ITALY
6 (W): A painting discovered in the niche of a room under Rome’s
Palatine Hill, in 1961, portrays what appears to be a rocket. It stands on a
launching pad. From it run guys or cables; behind is a tall wall, resembling
a counterblast wall.
JAPAN
7 (S): Excavations have uncovered clay figurines of people clad in
peculiar “space suits”, with helmets entirely covering their heads. On the
helmets are representations of something like slit-type glasses, breath -
filters, antennae, hearing aids and even night-sight devices.
INDIA
8 (W): The Mahabharata describes “two storey sky chariots with many
windows, ejecting red flame, that race up into the sky until they look like
comets…to the regions of both the sun and the stars.”4
GUATEMALA
9 (W): Another ancient description mentions “a circular chariot of gold,
measuring 12,000 cubits in circumference and able to reach the stars”5
INDIA
10 (W): Other references speak of:
• Pushan sailing in golden ships across the ocean of the sky
• Garuda (a celestial bird) carrying Lord Vishnu in cosmic journeys
• Aerial flights “through the region of the sky firmament which is
above the region of the winds”6
• The Ancients of Space Dimensions.7
NEW ZEALAND
11(O): Maori legends tell of flying machines and journeys to the moon.
CHINA, 3rd cent. B.C.
12 (W): Chuang Tzu, in a work entitled Travel to the Infinite, relates a
trip he made into space to 32,500 miles from the earth.
TIBET
MONGOLIA
13 (W): Ancient Buddhist books speak of “iron serpents which devour
space with fire and smoke, reaching as far as the distant stars.”
TIBET
14 (W): The three levels of a pyramid in the Hsing Nu capital
commemorated three historical periods in the remote past: the pre-space
travel era, the time when men were able to visit one of the heavenly bodies,
and then afterward when they came back to earth and lost the power of
space travel. It was here that there reposed on the altar a “stone brought
from the moon”.
BABYLON
15 (W): The Epic of Etana (4,700 years old) supplies us with very
accurate descriptions of the earth’s surface from progressive altitudes—
descriptions which were not verified in our own era until the high-altitude
aerial flights of the 1950s and the first space shots of the 1960s.
The description of this ancient space flight depicts exactly what happens
when man leaves the earth (the concept of the round earth which becomes
small, due to perspective as distance increases, and changes into particular
colors).8
BOOK OF ENOCH
16 (W): The Book of Enoch says that in space “it was hot as fire and
cold as ice” (where objects get hot on the side illuminated by the sun and icy
cold on the shaded side) and “a dark abyss.”9
YUNNAN PROVINCE, CHINA
17 (W): Engravings of cylindrical rocketlike machines, which are shown
climbing skyward, were discovered on a pyramid which suddenly emerged
from the floor of Lake Kun-Ming during an earthquake.
GREECE
18 (W): Lucian pictured the moon as a body like the earth which could
be reached in 8 days and wrote a “fiction” (?) of a moon trip.
CHINA
19 (W): “Desolate, cold and glassy”: In the year 2309 B.c. the engineer
of Emperor Yao decided to go to the moon. The “celestial bird” provided
him with information on his trip. He explored space by “mounting the
current of luminous air” (the exhaust of a fiery rocket?).
Hou Yih flew into space where “he did not perceive the rotary
movement of the sun.”10
(This statement is of paramount importance in
corroborating the story because it is only in space that man cannot see the
sun rise or set.)
On the moon he saw the ‘frozen looking horizon” and erected a building,
“the Palace of Cold”.
His wife Chang Ngo likewise flew to the moon, which she found a
“luminous sphere, shining like glass, of enormous size and very cold; the
light of the moon has its birth in the sun,” she declared. (Chang Ngo’s
moon exploration report was correct. Apollo II astronauts found the moon
desolate with a glasslike soil—and parts of it even paved with pieces of
glass. Most of the moon, at any given time, is in the throes of extreme cold.
It plunges to minus 250 degrees Fahrenheit at midnight.)
The ancient Greek scientist Empedocles had also declared that the moon
was made of glass. Such precise knowledge implies on-site inspection of
the moon in the remote past.
CHINA
20 (W): A story from this same period states that an enormous ship
appeared on the sea at night with brilliant lights which were extinguished
during the day. It could also sail to the moon and the stars, hence its name,
“a ship hanging among the stars” or “the boat to the moon”.
This giant ship which could travel in the sky or sail the seas was seen for
12 years.11
CHINA
21 (W): “The Shi Ching” book says that when the Emperor saw crime
and vice rising in the world, “he commanded Chong and Li to cut off
communication between the earth and the sky—and since then there has
been no more going up or down.”12
Is this not a clear indication of the cessation of space travel in the past?
TIBET
22 (W): Sanskrit documents discovered by the Chinese at Lhasa are
claimed to contain directions for building interplanetary spaceships. Flight
to the moon is mentioned (though it is not stated whether this was
undertaken or just planned). The Chinese have stated that certain of the data
were being studied for inclusion in their space program.
23 (S): Relics on the moon?
Reports have been made concerning
strange messages on the surface of the moon.
• An object shaped like a sword near the crater Birt
• Strange cross formations in the crater Eratosthenes and at Fra Mauro
• Angular lines in the crater Gassendi and seven spots in the shape of
the Greek capital Gamma on the floor of the crater Littrow
• Two giant sets of letters under Mare Serenitatis, to the left of Mare Tranquillitatis, which read: “PYAX” and “JAW”—black letters,
easily discernible
• Strange tracks running right up the wall of a crater.
If such geometric constructions were found on earth, speculation would
rage as to the men who left them.
Not every discovery has been announced by NASA—and exploration
has scarcely begun. Already NASA has run out of budget for further moon
visits. It is by no means impossible that future astronauts will discover
objects or installations showing that other human beings came to the moon
in the distant past.
24 (S): It was July 20, 1969, the occasion of the first moon landing.
During the last reconnaissance flight around the moon, preceding the
landing, one of the astronauts made an unexpected announcement: he had
just seen the contours of what seemed to be some sort of seven-story
structure.
What was it that he saw? Might it have been the “Palace of Cold”?
Why did they subsequently delete this from rebroadcasts? (But it was too
late. We had already heard it.)
If there is a single, ancient, long-abandoned edifice on the moon, if there
is a single object indicating earlier intelligence, if there is still one
recognizable rock drawing to be found, then just think what such a find
would do to our conventional history.
But wait! News is now filtering through—not from the moon, hut from
40 million miles away on the small planet Mars.
25 (S): A Soviet scientist who defected to the West claims that
photographs taken by an orbiting satellite clearly show the ruined temples of
a civilization—on the planet Mars!
The 58-year-old scientist was a high-echelon member of an elite team
that has worked together since 1961 when Vostok I carried Yuri A. Gagarin
as the first man in space.
But Russia’s growing emphasis on the development of a nuclearized
“Star Wars” satellite system in space prompted him to flee Russia. He now
lives under an assumed identity in Switzerland.
He reports that several years ago, a Soviet satellite was launched for
Mars. It reached that destination in 1982 and has been orbiting the Red
Planet ever since.
Its sole purpose was to beam photographs and other data back to a
manned satellite orbiting Earth. The task was accomplished with incredible
success.
The photographs are computer-enhanced and in full color. The detail
they show is far beyond anything produced in America. And there is no
mistaking what they reveal.
The city scanned by the satellite’s camera is three times the size of
Moscow and it is ringed by wide boulevards, one inside the other and linked
together by smaller avenues, like the spokes of a cartwheel.
The temples must have been huge. Most are in ruins, as though
crumbled by a tremendous Marsquake. But some still support slate-grey
domes that measure two to four miles in diameter.
The Soviet Union will never admit to this incredible discovery because
it would reveal too much of their technological progress.
End of the story? No, not quite. On February 4, 1985, the Melbourne,
Australia, Age reported the belief of thirty U.S. scientists that two photographs sent back from Mars in 1976 by the Viking spacecraft indicate
the existence of an ancient civilization.
Richard Hoagland, science writer and member of the group of scientists
known as the Mars Investigation Group, said the photos show what appear
to be four huge pyramids lined up symmetrically with a face.
Dr.C. West Churchman, a professor at the University of California at
Berkeley, said there are too many details pointing to the possibility of an
extinct habitation on Mars.
What then, I ask, is the real truth about our past? Have we been to Mars
before?

Well, this is marvelous! And just look at the pictures in this article! They can't lie. (*#&$#???)
