Ancient Astronauts
Flaming Shields, Chariots of the Gods
Flying Saucers, Spacesuits, Delta Wing Jets and Ray Guns
depicted on everything from cave walls to ancient Egyptian temples
- all surviving eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings in our most ancient past. Reports of unidentified flying objects appear even in our most ancient
historical records.
For anyone looking at the most ancient primitive cave drawings and petraglyphs. it seems impossible now to take them for anything other than technology. Could travelers from outer space have visited this planet long ago?
Could our ancestors have settled this planet as space colonists?
Will our neighbors reveal themselves, when we are ready?
Carved in Stone:
The ancient world occasionally speaks to us of strange things that the
primitive people of the time attributed to The Gods. From the Nazca Lines of
Peru to ancient aircraft of Egypt and India known as Vimanas; from the enigmatic
and symbolic petraglyphs of Ancient America to the pantheons of European and
Mediterranean gods; nearly every ancient culture, on every continent yet
explored - it seems that every civilization in the world was at one time or
another touched by beings from above. As mankind evolves and advances in technology, we are now becoming somewhat
familiar with many of the things that obviously impressed our ancestors.
We know
that we are not gods, but what would ancient peoples think of most of the things
we take for granted today? Would your ability to read evoke jealousy from their
most revered scholars? Would a disposable lighter or ball point pen get you
burned as a witch? And what would they make of your palm pilot - or for that
matter, a harmonica? The two figures depicted in rock-art at Val Comonica, in Northern Italy
(above right) easily appear to modern observers to be a literal and accurate
representation of modern astronauts. Their bulky suits come complete with space
helmets, and each are holding decives of some sort; one of their tools even

The first
recorded incident regarding Alexander the Great and UFO's was recorded in 329BC.
Alexander decided to invade India and was attempting to cross the river Indus to
engage the Indian army when "gleaming silver shields" swooped down and made
several passes over the battle. These "gleaming silver shields" had the effect
of startling his cavalry horses, causing them to stampede. They also had a
similar effect on the enemies' horses and elephants so it was difficult to
ascertain whose side these "gleaming silver shields" were on. Nevertheless,
after exiting the battle victoriously Alexander decided to not proceed any
further into India.
Seven years
later Alexander was confronted with the greatest challenge of his military
career. In his attempt to conquer the Persian Empire he realized that the city
of Tyre needed to be captured in order to prevent the Persians from using that
port to land an army behind him.The original coastal city of Tyre had been
destroyed before and had been rebuilt some distance offshore from its original
site. Having no navy, Alexander decided to use the remains of the old city to
build a causeway to the new one.It took Alexander six full months to do this and
when the task was completed and his troops staged their assault they were easily
rebuffed because the walls were too high to quickly scale and too thick to
batter down. Not only that but the causeway was too narrow to allow sufficient
troops to launch a massive enough attack to overwhelm the enemy in order to
scale the walls.
Not only was
this a problem for Alexander but apparently a problem for God as well. Both the
prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah had spoken of Gods' curse and eventual destruction
of Tyre. (Ezekiel Chapters 27 & 28 and Isaiah Chapter 23). How was Alexander
going to achieve his goal? How was God going to ensure that His prophecy would
be fulfilled? The historical account, recorded by Alexander’s chief historian,
states that, during an attack of the island city, one of two 'gleaming silver
shields' attacked a section of the wall with a 'beam of light' which
subsequently caused that section of the wall to fall! Alexander’s' men poured
through the opening and captured the city.

Philip Coppens : In 1973, Erich von Däniken, at the height of his fame, claimed in his book “The Gold of the Gods” that he had found a gigantic subterranean tunnel system in Southern America. It was a major claim – and one that seriously would tarnish his profile, for his source would soon deny he had said no such thing. For many, the incident proved that von Däniken was a fabricator of lies. The story that brought von Däniken to South America partly began in the Brazilian town of Manaus. There, on March 3, 1972, a German journalist Karl Brugger met a local Amazonian Indian, Tatunca Nara, in the backstreet tavern Gracas a Deus.The meeting would result in Brugger"s book “The Chronicle of Akakor”, published in 1976, which saw a number of foreign editions and created the legend of Akakor, a mythical town somewhere deep within the Amazonian jungle, still left to be discovered.
The title of the book was supposedly the same title as the chronicle that the Amazonian Ugha Mogulala tribe (which also makes an appearance in the Indiana Jones movie) held sacred – or at least central – to their mythology and philosophy. Indeed, Tatunca Nara claimed to be a member of this unknown Amazonian tribe, the son of a native and the daughter of a German missionary – which was supposed to account for his impeccable German. The mere notion that an Amazonian tribe had a written chronicleitself was remarkable, as the Amazon population is largely believed not to have a written language. A second bombshell was that Tatunca claimed that the Year Zero of the Chronicle was 10,481 BC – very much outside accepted archaeological dates for human occupation of the Amazon, but perfectly fitting in the “Atlantis and Deluge” theory that many alternative researchers favoured as the anti-thesis to the science-wrought framework and which was, at the time, already made popular due to Edgar Cayce.
When news came across the wire recently that
police officers in several Illinois counties witnessed an unidentified flying
object the size of a three-story house, and that one of them had snapped a
Polaroid of the triangular object, I sat up an took notice. Unlike many UFO
buffs, law enforcement personnel are credible, trained observers. The FBI and
the National Institute for Discovery Science are following up on the as yet
undetermined phenomenon. As a Christian researcher and author of two books on
the New Age, I find the increasing regularity of UFO sightings prophetically
intriguing. This is because a growing doctrine within the New Age Movement
claims that the gods of mythology and the human race as we know it today, is the
direct result of extra-terrestrial "UFO" activity.
In the introduction to his best selling book,
Chariots of the Gods, Erich von Daniken, who, it might be argued, is one of the
fathers of the New Age Movement as it relates to ufology, said: I claim that our forefathers
received visits from the universe in the remote past, even though I do not yet
know who these extra-terrestrial intelligences were or from which planet they
came. I nevertheless proclaim that these "strangers" annihilated part of mankind
existing at the time and produced a new, perhaps the first, homo sapiens.
As was illustrated in the Hollywood films
Contact, and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Erich von Daniken's hypothesis
took America by storm in the 1960's with the proposition that mankind was
possibly the offspring of an ancient, perhaps ongoing, extra-terrestrial
experiment. New Age ufologists like Daniken also see the gods of mythology as
evidence of, and a reaction to, an encounter with other worldly beings. They
claim that ancient men would have considered space travelers as gods and would
have recorded their arrival, their experiments, and their departure, in
hieroglyphs, megaliths, and stone tablets, as a "supernatural" encounter between
gods and men...

Decoding Book Resurrects the Ancient Astronaut Theme
Several decades ago, books by insurance salesman Erich von Daniken caused an international sensation as he depicted photographs of large-stone edifices hard to believe built by primitive humans.His dreams of ancient astronauts, however, soon faded into oblivion as archeologists came up with proof that primitive humans could have constructed the pyramids and like structures without alien assistance. Nonetheless, the possibility of other types of evidence for ancient astronauts cannot be discarded.Overtly a cryptography and deception tactics book, Morten St. George's Incantation of the Law Against Inept Critics: A Guide to Cryptic Thinking takes up the ancient astronautgauntlet.
But there's no stone here.
Now, it's
not a question of what the ancient astronauts did, but of what they
left behind. Deception cryptography leads the way. The only known
deployment of this unique form of cryptography is to be found in forty
two prophetic stanzas published by Nostradamus in the 16th century. So
was Nostradamus an alien? Hardly, but St. George's book asserts he was
the last guardian of an alien artifact.
What's the evidence?
First, a breakthrough
decoding of the forty two stanzas in which numerous contemporary events
are not only accurately recounted but also systematically dated. St.
George concludes there is no longer any doubt about whether or not the
future was foreseen. It was, and likewise we are witnessing the powers
of a super-civilization.
Second, the discovery that
the forty two stanzas (perceived as a book of divine revelation) were
secretly guarded, known to, and commented upon by a cabalistic sect
during medieval times. St. George says these forty-two revelations
predate Nostradamus by centuries, and now there is a "book of light" in
the picture, not "light" like in "enlightenment" but literally composed
of light, black fire on top of white fire. This describes the artifact
that survived to reach Nostradamus.
Third, back to the
prophecies, which come forth and tell us the name of their author and
when they were written. According to St. George, they were written in
the sixth century, a thousand years before the time of Nostradamus.
Why is there no record of
alien arrival in the sixth century? St. George responded we are
referring to creatures withtwo......

While the UFO phenomenon may
have gained popularity in the second half of the 20th Century, there have been
many cases documented that indicate that the phenomenon may actually have
occured often over the centuries. While one of the more famous ancient UFO
sightings could have been the possible sighting in the first chapter of Ezekiel,
that was certainly not the only reference to strange flying objects. There have
been many references to flying objects or vehicles in the Mahabharata and also
various historical paintings over the centuries that clearly indicate that
people of that time had either seen or heard of some kind of saucer-shaped
craft. In many cases, the depictions in the paintings even suggest some kind of
deep-rooted relationship between UFOs and religion.
Ezekiel Chapter 1 says "Behold,
a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself,
and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of
amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the
likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; the had the
likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings."
It also speaks of how these living creatures had wheels and how when they "were
lifted up from Earth, the wheels were lifted up also." This account was written
six hundred years before Christ. The Greeks and Romans have also written about
such things like phantom chariots appearing in the night sky. During the reign
of Charlemagne, there were many accounts of "tyrants of the air, and their
aerial ships." Charlemagne was so concerned at these reports that those
reporting these phenomenon were put to death. There is another case reported in
the year 1270 from Bristol, England. A spaceship was seen, which landed and an
occupant came down from a ladder and was suffocated in the Earth's atmosphere.
No account however, of what happened to the occupant's body, or the spaceship...

On July 11, 1991, an
unidentified flying object was sighted by thousands of people in Mexico City
during a solar eclipse. Labeled as the largest mass UFO sighting in history, the
event was captured by hundreds of people who pointed their camcorders at the
eclipse. The event, which gained extensive media coverage in Mexico, was even
used for the top story of Mexico's version of "60 Minutes." Since so many people
had seen the strange aircraft hovering in the sky and hundreds of hours of film
footage of the craft was recorded, there is an extremely high chance that
advanced alien cultures are really visiting the earth. Therefore, if advanced
alien civilizations are visiting us now, is there a possibility that they could
have visited the earth thousands of years ago? According to a few clues
scattered throughout the world, alien beings could have very likely visited the
earth long ago. One clue of an ancient alien visitation is found in paintings
from ancient cultures that depict strange humanoid creatures. In addition,
physical evidence of an ancient alien vistation is seen in artifacts from around
the world that show a use of modern technology. Furthermore, ancient markings
made on fields, which indicate the use of air travel, are another set of clues
that show the earth could have been visited by aliens long ago.
The most obvious clues to an extraterrestrial visit long ago are found in the
drawings of ancient cultures. One such drawing is located inside a cave in
Kimberly Mountain, a peak on the western side of Australia. Haunting the surface
of the cave walls are paintings of several beings with round heads and huge
black eyes. Calling the figures in the paintings the Wondjina, the Aborigines
consider the beings extremely sacred. The Wondjina, originally drawn in some
period between ten thousand to thirty thousand years ago, bear little
resemblance to any known earth creature. However, the Wondjina slightly resemble
the gray type of aliens reported today by alleged alien abductees. The Wondjina
and the Grays look similiar because they both have large, black eyes and a
pear-shaped head. Therefore, it is possible that the Wondjina are actually
aliens seen by the Aborigines a long time ago. In the Sahara desert, another
strange figure painted on the wall of a cave, the "Great Martian God", is
located in the Tassili mountains. It was called the "Great Martian God" because
it resembled Martians found in comic books. Discovered by Henri Lhote on an
expedition after World War II into the mountains, the Martian, along with
similiar nearby drawings depicting space men are drawn in a much larger scale
than the nearby drawings of people, animals, and ones of Egyptian influence.
John Michell writes in his book, The Flying Saucer Vision: The Holy Grail
Restored, that the most striking feature of the Martian and the similiar figures
were their round, inhuman heads. Michell describes the beings' heads as if "they
are wearing some sort of globular helmet like a diver's." A helmet, a necessity
for human space explorers to walk in space, would come in handy for an alien
space traveler. Space travel, by the way, is a part of a Hopi legend; the Hopi
are a once pueblo-building Native American culture living in Arizona and New
Mexico. One of their petroglyphs, called the "Star- blower", tells a story of
how the Hopi's ancestors had visited various worlds and traveled through endless
space before reaching Earth. The petroglyph, containing several strange,
unearthly figures, are very inexplicable to understand for people outside the
tribe. Although the Hopi leaders are reluctant to share the details of the
legend, the petroglyphs, nevertheless, show strange, possibly alien, beings
performing an extraordinary ritual. The paintings of ancient cultures are not
the only evidence of a potential extraterrestrial visit in the past; artifacts
also give clues about a possible ancient visit by aliens...

Case of Adam’s Alien Genes: Sensational Human Genome Discovery
The report of the Public Consortium is in Nature, Feb 15, 2001 and of Celera Genomics in Science of Feb 16th, 2001.
In whose image was The Adam – the prototype of
modern humans, Homo sapiens – created?
The Bible asserts that the Elohim said:
“Let us fashion the Adam in our image and after our likeness.” But if one is to
accept a tentative explanation for enigmatic genes that humans possess, offered
when the deciphering of the human genome was announced in mid-February, the feat
was decided upon by a group of bacteria! “Humbling” was the prevalent adjective
used by the scientific teams and the media to describe the principal finding –
that the human genome contains not the anticipated 100,000 - 140,000 genes (the
stretches of DNA that direct the production of amino-acids and proteins) but
only some 30,000+ -- little more than double the 13,601 genes of a fruit fly and
barely fifty percent more than the roundworm’s 19,098. What
a comedown from the pinnacle of the genomic Tree of Life!
Moreover, there was hardly any uniqueness to the
human genes. They are comparative to not the presumed 95 percent but to almost
99 percent of the chimpanzees, and 70 percent of the mouse. Human genes, with
the same functions, were found to be identical to genes of other vertebrates, as
well as invertebrates, plants, fungi, even yeast. The findings not only
confirmed that there was one source of DNA for all life on Earth, but also
enabled the scientists to trace the evolutionary process – how more complex
organisms evolved, genetically, from simpler ones, adopting at each stage the
genes of a lower life form to create a more complex higher life form –
culminating with Homo sapiens.
The “Head-scratching” Discovery:
It was here, in tracing the vertical evolutionary
record contained in the human and the other analyzed genomes, that the
scientists ran into an enigma. The “head-scratching discovery by the public
consortium,” as Science termed it, was that the human genome contains 223 genes that do not have the required predecessors on
the genomic evolutionary tree.
How did Man acquire such a bunch of enigmatic
genes?
In the evolutionary progression from bacteria to invertebrates (such as the
lineages of yeast, worms, flies or mustard weed – which have been deciphered) to
vertebrates (mice, chimpanzees) and finally modern humans,
these 223 genes are completely missing in the invertebrate phase.
Therefore, the scientists can explain their presence in the human genome by a
“rather recent” (in evolutionary time scales) “probable horizontal transfer from
bacteria.” In other words: At a relatively recent time as Evolution goes, modern
humans acquired an extra 223 genes not through gradual evolution, not vertically
on the Tree of Life, but horizontally, as a sideways
insertion of genetic material from bacteria…
An Immense
Difference:
Now, at first glance it would seem that 223 genes
is no big deal. In fact, while every single gene makes a great difference to
every individual, 223 genes make an immense difference to a species such as
ours....
