Part I – The Ancient Earth

I address this book about rock books to people who have been denied the advantage of knowing the fate of all men on Earth. Rock books describe a way out of this uncertain world which was used by total populations of Earth in the past. It is just possible we may need the guidance and information thus provided, since men seem to have the ability to transform what was once paradise into an approaching hell.

It seems probable that there were and are two forces manipulating the history of our planet. In my reading of the “Rock Books of Beginning” I find we have records from two different worlds. One of these was the moon when it was in orbit about the sun. Its rock books were all dumped upon Earth at the time of the first moon fall, along with its air and water and loose soil, and its people. (more…)

If we human beings want to feel humility, there is no need to look
at the starred infinity above. It suffices to turn our gaze upon the
world cultures that existed thousands of years before us, achieved
greatness before us, and perished before us.

The Amazing Inventions of China

Many ancient inventions are said to have originated in China, though many of them probably came from even earlier cultures.

The Chinese possessed geared machinery from an early age–some think as far back as the early centuries B.C., if not before. While modern historians prefer to trace China back only to the the Chou dynasty in 1122 B.C., the Chinese themselves trace their history back to the semi-mythical “Five Monarchs.” (more…)

As we acquire knowledge,
things do not become more comprehensible,
but more mysterious.
-Will Durant

I think, myself that in 1903, we passed through
the remains of a powdered world left
over from an ancient interplanetary dispute,
brooding in space….

Was the Science of Egypt Inherited from an Earlier Culture?

In my searches for lost cities and mysteries of the past, I have often found clues to the technology of the ancients. These clues can be in the form of depictions of ancient devices in rock paintings or carvings (such as the electric devices at the Temple of Hathor in Egypt) or as small models of devices (such as the miniature solid gold airplanes at the Bogota Gold Museum) or in the stories from ancient texts (such as the Ramayana or even the Bible).

I would like to recap some of the evidence for ancient technology and for advanced ancient cultures in the past. What is amazing about the modern world versus the ancient one is that in the modern world, the average citizen has access to advanced technology such as electricity, a personal vehicle, telephone, fax, and computer technology. In the ancient world, high technology was largely denied the masses. In fact it was often used in temples and ceremonies to gain power over people by amazing or terrifying them; this was part of worship and mystery. (more…)

THROUGHOUT the world there are mysterious shafts, caves and tunnels built or inhabited by unknown beings who have vanished into the mists of pre-history. These visible links with a puzzling antiquity present problems to the modern world that are bewildering and baffling.

In Tibet there is a secret city, hidden in the world’s highest mountains, and built at the top of a pit that drops deep into the earth; in Nova Scotia there is a strange underground chamber protected by ancient engineering so ingenious that it has baffled the best salvage experts; in Mexico the prehistoric Acapulco tunnel and the padre-protected and sealed opening at Xilitla remain unexplored.

BELOW the surface of the earth, stretching for countless miles, lie the archaic tunnels of the Old Ones. Cut in the primal rock by methods unknown, they turn and twist in a complex labyrinth, shrouded in the darkness of the ages, their walls blackened by an incredible antiquity. It is true! Long, long ago, their very existence forgotten in the rise and fall of empires and the surging migrations and passings of peoples during the long centuries, there lived a mighty race of subterranean builders who wrought wonders in stone.

Here and there we can catch a glimpse of the mysterious realm hidden below our feet that they left behind them. There are the artificial caves of Malta, built “at a period when history is all mystery,” which lie below the puzzling so-called “cart-ruts” that crisscross the island in every direction, and terminate on the brink of cliffs or lead directly into the sea. There is the elusive North African-Gibraltar tunnel, and the half-legendary connecting links between the islands of Hawaii that were known to the native kings and kahuna of old. Martinique, too, has its lost prehistoric shafts, and Tecpan in Guatemala, and Agra in India. In the heart of Central Asia, Dr. Ossendowski tells of Agharti, and Prof. Roerich awaits the coming of Maitreya, Lord of the New Era, from concealed Shambhala. (more…)
