UNOFFICIAL HISTORIES The officially accepted history of man on the earth leaves a lot to be desired for the intelligent reader. It is painfully obvious that the tongue-in-cheek statement that history is "an agreed upon set of lies" is truer than we would like to think. It is especially difficult to accept the standard theories of our distant past in the light of the many discoveries which mitigate against such beliefs. Here are a few of those discoveries.Historians generally believe that man first began to practice metallurgy in the Middle East about 8,000 years ago. What, then, are we to make of man-made (?) metallic objects dating from before this time period, or even before man himself was supposed to have existed on the earth?
In June of 1851, rock was being blasted by dynamite at Meeting House Hill in Dorchester, outside of Boston. Inside the rock was discovered a metallic vase about 4 1/2 inches high, 6 1/2 inches wide at the base, 2 1/2 inches wide at the top and an eighth of an inch thick. The vase was made of an alloy of zinc and silver, and was inlaid with silver flowers and vines with excellent craftsmanship. It was discovered at a depth of 15 feet in solid rock dated to 600 million years old.
In August of 1870, three men were drilling an artesian well at Lawn Ridge, twenty miles north of Peoria, Illinois. After reaching a depth of 114 feet, the pump brought up a metallic medallion. The medallion was made of a copper alloy and had artwork and hieroglyphs on both sides. One side showed a crowned woman holding a crowned child, while the other side showed a crouching animal with claw-like arms and a flayed tail, along with a horse. The hieroglyphs were of unknown character. The estimated age of the level where the medallion was found is between 100,000 and 150,000 years old.
In 1877, Mr J.H. Neale of the Montezuma Tunnel Company was digging a tunnel beneath a 50 million year old lava flow on Table Mountain in California when he found several spear heads and a mortar and pestle. The spear heads were about a foot long, and the stone mortar was about four inches in diameter.
In 1881, geologist H. Stopes discovered a shell in the Pliocene Red Crag formation in England that had crude but recognizable human face carved on its outer surface. The formation has been dated to two million years ago. In the fall of 1885, a workman named Riedl at the Isidor Braun Iron Foundry in Schondorf, Austria broke open a large piece of coal and a cubical metallic object fell out. The object was 2.64 by 2.64 by 1.85 inches. Electron beam microanalysis shows that the object is not of meteroric origin, and appears to be of cast iron. The coal was dated to 60 million years.
In June of 1891, Mrs. S.W. Culp of Morrisonville, Illinois was shoveling coal into her stove when a lump of coal broke open to reveal a gold chain. The chain was about ten inches long, of antique workmanship. When examined, one end of the chain was still embedded in a solid piece of coal. The coal came from Pennsylvania and was over 300 million years old.
In 1912, two employees of the Municipal Electric Plant at Thomas, Oklahoma, Frank Kenwood and Jim Stall, broke apart a large piece of coal mined from Wilburton, Oklahoma and found an iron pot. The coal was dated to about 300 to 325 million years old.
In 1936, a resident of Plateau City, Colorado was digging a cellar when he uncovered paved tile laid with some kind of mortar at a depth of ten feet. The material of the tiles has been dated from 20,000 to 80,000 years old, while the floor itself lies in a Miocene formation about 25,000,000 years old.
In February 1961, three rock hounds named Mike Mikesell, Wallace Lane and Virginia Maxey were collecting geodes about 12 miles southeast of Olancha, California when they discovered one geode that did not contain the usual mineral crystals. When it was cut open, it contained a mechanism consisting of ceramic cylinder containing a shaft of brass colored metal, the whole surrounded by copper rings. The metal shaft was magnetic. The rock in which this mechanism was discovered has been dated to about 500,000 years old. Simple and advanced man-made stone tools have repeatedly been discovered in formations dated many millions of years before man is supposed to have existed. In addition to artifacts that are out of place in time, the remains of human beings when no human beings (and certainly no modern human beings) should have been, have also been found all over the world. Fossilized bones of modern humans that are from one to four million years old have been discovered at several places in Africa, Italy and South America. Skeletons of modern homo sapiens have been discovered embedded in solid rock formed before mammals are believed to have existed. Fossilized human footprints were discovered by Professor J.F. Brown of Berea College, Kentucky in the 1880's at Big Hill in Jackson County, Kentucky in a carboniferous layer about 300 million years old. In 1938, Dr. Wilbur Burroughs of the geology department of Berea College discovered ten human footprints in the carboniferous sandstone of a farm belonging to Mr. O. Finnell in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Examination of the prints proved that they had not been carved, and microscopic counting of the sand in the prints showed it had been impacted as from the weight of a person.
The fossilized footprint of a sandal was discovered in 1968 by fossil collector William Meister at Antelope Spring outside of Delta, Utah. Beneath the fossil of the sandal print was a crushed trilobite, estimated to be from 300 to 600 million years old. In July of 1968, geologist Clifford Burdick from Tucson, Arizona discovered the footprints of a human child at Antelope Springs, and in August of 1968, Dean Bitter, a teacher from Salt Lake City discovered more fossilized sandal prints there. In addition to this unofficial evidence of man's past, the evidence that is supposed to support the accepted theories is itself suspect in several cases. Java Man, the supposed missing link that "proved" the modern man was not around tens and hundreds of million years ago, consists of part of a skull cap and a femur. However, in 1973 the femur was shown to match that of modern man, yet the experts don't want to talk about it. In China, where another missing link was found, Peking Man, the Chinese habitually date sites where the human remains are found by deciding how old the human remains should be instead using the age of the surrounding material. If the surrounding material is much older than it "should" be, this is ignored and the date is taken from already accepted theories of human development. Speaking of China, the Folsom point, a projectile point which is found in both China and the Americas is one of the best pieces of evidence that man came from China to the Americas about 10,000 years ago -- except for the fact that the oldest Folsom points found in America are dated to about 10,000 years old, while the oldest found in China are only about 2,000 years old.
In virtually every case, modern experts have taken unusually harsh steps to make certain that information which falls outside the accepted dogma does not enter the public domain. A level of criteria to determine "proof" far beyond that used in any case where the find does not run counter to modern accepted theory is always demanded, people have been fired from their jobs and had their reputations ruined by unfounded accusations of fraud, and locations of digs and artifacts have been destroyed or placed off limits. The Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC and the National Museum of Canada in particular have engaged repeatedly in such activities. All of this just because the established authorities don't want to admit they are wrong about man's origins and early history. What steps would they take to hide evidence of advanced civilizations or possible visits from other planets in the early history of the earth?
In the Mahavira Bhavabhuti, a Jain text of 8th century India which recounts older traditions, one passage reads: "An aerial chariot, the Pushpaka, conveys many people to the capital of Ayodhya. The sky is full of stupendous flying machines, dark as night, but picked out by lights with a yellowish glare."
The Vedas are oldest manuscripts of India, dated between 8,000 and 12,000 years old. Although many of them have been translated, thousands more have not. In the translated Vedas are several accounts of an ancient civilization in India called the Rama Empire, ruled by the "Seven Rishi Cities." These Vedas are filled with accounts of battles fought with flying machines. Detailed accounts are given of the construction and flying of these machines, as well as their weapons. Here are some sample quotes:
In the Ramayana:
"The Puspaka car that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was brought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at will… that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky."
"…and the King (Rama) got in, and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher atmosphere."In the Samarangana Sutradhara:
"Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth."The Vaimanika Sastra has eight chapters with diagrams, describing three types of aircraft. It mentions 31 essential parts of these vehicles and 16 materials from which they are constructed.
In the Mahabharata:
This poem recounts a number of weapons on the Vimanas, including "Indra's Dart" operated via a circular reflector; when switched on, it produced a "shaft of light" which, when focused on any target, immediately "consumed it with its power." Another weapon "killed by seeking out sound." And then there is this: "Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the Vrishis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousand suns, rose in all its splendor. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishis and Andhakas… the corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. The hair and nails fell out; pottery broke without apparent cause, and the birds turned white… after a few hours all foodstuffs were infected… "Interestingly, when Alexander the Great invaded India, his chroniclers described an attack on his army by "flying, fiery shields" that dove at his army and frightened the cavalry.
When the Rishi city of Mohenjo-Daro was excavated by archeologists, they found skeletons just lying in the streets, as if some great doom had suddenly overtaken them. These skeletons are among the most radioactive ever found, on a par with those found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In modern times, the dig for a new housing development in Rajasthan, India uncovered an ancient city covered by a heavy layer of radioactive ash. The radiation was so strong that the Indian government has closed off the area. Researchers have determined that the city of about a half million people was destroyed between 8,000 and 12,000 years ago by what appears to have been an atomic explosion.
In 1938, Professor Chi Pu Tei from Beijing University was surveying some caves in the Baian-Kara-Ula range of the Himalayas with some of his students when they discovered a series of artificially made caves containing several graves and a stone disc. The graves contained skeletons about three to four feet in height with enlarged skulls. The stone contained an unknown hieroglyphic writing engraved in almost microscopic size. On the walls of the caves were carved pictograms of the sun, moon, earth and several stars, with lines connecting them. The stone was approximately nine inches in diameter, with a three quarter inch hole in the center, and made of granite witha high concentration of cobalt. It was dated to about 12,000 years old and ended up stored away at the university. In 1962, Dr. Tsum Um Nui of the Beijing University managed to decode some of the hieroglyphics, which told the story of a people who called themselves the Dropa. In 1965, 716 more stone discs were discovered in the cave. According to the stones, the Dropa had come to the earth from another planet and crashed here in the mountains. The native humans had hunted down and killed some of the aliens before they decided they were not a threat. The Beijing Academy of Prehistory forbade Dr. Tsum from publishing his translation or even talking about it. Today the remote mountainous area where the stones were found is inhabited by two primitive tribes who call themselves the Dropa and the Han; they are of pigmy statue and cannot be classified as either Chinese or Tibetan. They are yellow-skinned with thin bodies and disproportionately large heads, with sparse hair on their bodies and large non-Asian eyes with pale blue irises. They match the 12,000 year old skeletons found in the caves in 1938.
For over three decades, miners at the Wonderstone Silver Mine near the town of Ottosdal in the Western Transval, South Africa, have been discovering strange metallic objects in the Precambrian pyrophyllitc mineral deposits they have been mining. So far, over two hundred of the objects have been found. Each is a flattened globe of 1 to 4 inches in diameter, colored steel blue with a reddish sheen and tiny flecks of white. They are made of a nickel-steel alloy which could not have come from a meteorite. Some have a thin shell a quarter of an inch thick, and when opened, contain a white spongy material that turns to dust upon exposure to air. On the outside, some of the spheres have parallel lines incised around them. Roelf Marx, curator of the South African Klerksdorp Museum has several of these apparently man-made objects in his museum, and notes that one on display in a locked case appears to rotate on its axis by itself. The rock from which these objects are being mined has been dated to about three billion years old. While archeological evidence supports the idea that man has been on earth much longer than currently accepted theories propose, scientific evidence seems to support the opposite, that man has not been around very long at all. For example, Eric Lander, Director of the Whitehead Institute / Massachusetts Institute of Technology Center for Genome Research says: "The human race numbers 6 billion people today, but it largely has the genetic variation of a few tens of thousands... we really are a tiny species grown large in the blink of an eye."
