Weapons of the Gods: How Ancient Alien Civilizations Almost Destroyed the Earth

If you, like me, are a fan of shows like Ancient Aliens and UFO Files, you’ve heard theories about ancient civilizations that obliterated each other (and themselves), possibly with nuclear weapons. How can that be when nuclear power hadn’t been discovered yet? Or had it? Were extraterrestrials fighting aerial battles, or did Mankind somehow learn about the atom thousands and thousands of years ago?
        The Bible, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, even the Qur’an describe incidents reminiscent of the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
        “Where’s the proof?” you ask. All around us.
        In the 1950s, a layer of green glass was found buried in the deserts of Israel and parts of Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula. Upon closer inspection, it proved to be fused sand resembling trinitite, a radioactive substance found in New Mexico following the first atomic bomb test in 1945. Temperatures in excess of 3,000°F are required to turn sand into trinitite. How could that happen thousands of years ago?
        Between six and seven thousand square miles of black stones have been found in multiple Middle East sites. Like the fused sand, these stones can only be formed under excessively high temperatures. In addition, an extensive layer of radioactive ash has been discovered at Rajasthan, India, an area where we find birth defects often associated with exposure to high levels of radiation.
        Scotland’s vitrified fortresses were built around 700 BCE and the stones were fused together by temperatures at least 2,012°F. Were the stones fused when the fortresses were constructed, or did some high-tech weapon fuse them at the height of battle? What could produce such high temperatures nearly 3000 years ago? 
        Most people don’t know that Sodom and Gomorrah weren’t the only “cities of the Plain.” Zeboim and Admah were also destroyed. Zoar (alternatively known as Zoara and Bela) was spared obliteration. Were the Men in White who warned Lot and his family the biblical version of today’s Men in Black? 
        According to the original Sumerian terminology, Lot’s wife was turned into a “pillar of vapor”, not a pillar of salt. Zechariah Sitchin explained: “Since salt was obtained in Sumer from vapor-filled swamps, the original Sumerian term … came to mean both ‘salt’ and ‘vapor’.” Shadow people appeared on concrete buildings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki when people were vaporized (turned to salt) by the atomic blasts.
        Many scientists explain away many anomalies. Oregon’s Crater Lake, for example, was not formed by aerial battles but by volcanic activity. But how to explain the 1974 discovery in Transylvania of a five-pound wedge-shaped piece of metal that proved to be at least 300 to 400 years old and contained twelve different elements, including 89% aluminum? Aluminum wasn’t produced until 1825. How could a 400-year-old piece of metal contain aluminum?
        Nick Redfern presents information in a way that makes the reader think. That’s what makes his books interesting, entertaining and educational. I highly recommend Weapons of the Gods for anyone interested in taking a different look at Earth’s history. Did ancient man discover the secrets of the atom? Were we visited by extraterrestrials? Were nuclear wars waged on our planet thousands of years ago? How many ancient civilizations have been destroyed?
