OUR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OUTER SPACE
gods involved in the findings. The fact is that only stone does not
change over eons. Under favorable conditions, in places like the
Dead Sea region, some documents can survive a few thousand
years, but not ten or twelve thousand. This is why we will never
find the originals of the maps that the Turkish admiral and cartographer
Reis copied in the fifteenth century and we will never
see the original model of the Rhodes calculator.
However, the existence of the copies is enough to make us understand
that some of mans highest achievements date back to
the dawn of time and that the Rhodes calculator is a link in a
chain that leads back to grand civilizations of an unknown past.
There is a message for humanity in this ancient machine that I
cannot decipher and even makes me suspect we are still not
sufficiently developed to grasp its true meaning. This is a fact
that annoys and disquiets me, and yet there are in this world
some even more disturbing findings.
I'm talking about recent findings in all parts of the world of
perfectly machined metal parts that were buried in strata of coal
or rock hundreds of feet under ground and millions of years old.
Cubes, spheres, and cyfinders of perfect geometrical form have
been dug up from such strata and nobody yet has been able to
explain these findings without admitting the possibility that indeed
our most ancient forefathers were capable of making precision
gears out of thin sheets of bronze and to assemble them into
clocks useful for astronomers, mankind's oldest scientists.
It is very difficult for me to respect those scientists whose
minds seem permanently closed. After all, most of today's
scientific equipment and techniques just did not exist a short one
hundred years ago, when Paris and London academies of science
thought they knew everything already and wanted to ignore
every discovery that disturbed their theories. If in the last century
we have achieved as much progress as we actually have, it
has happened only thanks to independent, unprejudiced minds
outside the establishment.
We were told that machines heavier than air would never fly,
that the sound barrier and air friction would kill pilots and melt
the planes and that rockets would never be able to overcome
earth's gravity. Man will never walk on the moon, said most scientists
not so long ago.
