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?
