cannot be otherwise. The real secret seems to be much more profound and most, if
not nearly all, “seekers” of truths never penetrate beyond the surface of the matter.
Nevertheless, we have now reached the point where we have some idea that
there was an ancient technology that utilized simple arithmetic, and geometry, or
spatial relationships, in conjunction with sound, to accomplish something of great
import. We have also come to the idea that this ancient technology was the science
of the mastery of space and time and gravity. This is the great secret of the Golden
Age. This is why their civilization was based on different elements than our own.
Aside from the fact that cataclysms may have washed away most of the evidence
of this civilization, we have here an additional reason for the lack of metal and
other such artifacts of the type we would consider to be evidence of “civilization”.
The Dancing God
Getting back to our spinning Edward Leedskalnin in his airplane seat, we realize
that he must have stumbled onto this secret and was able to utilize it to some
extent. But Leedskalnin didn’t have a landscape covered with megaliths to collect
and store energy. Edward had an airplane seat suspended from the ceiling by a
chain. How can this possibly give us a hint about what the ancients were doing?
Searching for clues as to how the ancients utilized this technology, we find the
following most interesting item. Diodorus Siculus, writing in the first century BC,
gives us a description of Britain based, in part, on the voyage of Pytheas of
Massilia, who sailed around Britain in 300 BC.
As for the inhabitants, they are simple and far removed from the shrewdness and
vice which characterize our day. Their way of living is modest, since they are well
clear of the luxury that is begotten of wealth. The island is also thickly populated
and its climate is extremely cold, as one would expect, since it actually lies under
the Great Bear. It is held by many kings and potentates, who for the most part live
at peace among themselves. 188
Diodorus then tells a fascinating story about the Hyperboreans that was
obviously of legendary character already when he was writing:
Of those who have written about the ancient myths, Hecateus and certain others say
that in the regions beyond the land of the Celts (Gaul) there lies in the ocean an
island no smaller than Sicily. This island, the account continues, is situated in the
north, and is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are called by that name because
their home is beyond the point whence the north wind blows; and the land is both
