Cosmic Game © Douglass A. White, 2012 v151207 2 Caveat Lector (Let the Reader Beware) There is a genre of books in which authors from outside the academic establishment explore mysterious relics of the ancient past and propose various theories and interpretations that range from alien visitations, to lost Atlantean civilizations, and ancient conspiracies. Critics often assail such works as "pseudoarchaeology" or "fringe science" in an attempt to discredit them despite the fact that such works often contain a large amount of interesting and sometimes accurate material researched with great gusto from the author's pet viewpoint, much of which may be considered either cranky or creative. Up front in this prefatory note I announce that the following monograph is an unabashed work belonging to this fringe genre of pseudoarchaeology, because I deliberately do not follow the canons of professional archaeology. I meander to the syncopated beat of a distant African drum. The artifacts I discuss are genuine. The measurements and data that I present are accurate (barring possible typographical errors or mistakes in calculation.) The experiments are probably doable -- but perhaps not exactly in the way I suggest, and I do not have ironclad proof that such experiments ever occurred in ancient times. Therefore much of my evidence for ancient science is circumstantial or speculative. I intend my theories and interpretations mainly as doorways opening to new realms of exploration that may awaken your imagination to possibilities that can take you beyond your current assumptions about the reality of the ancients and the reality in which we currently reside. In short you may read this work as a serious scientific investigation, as pseudoscience, or as a flight of fantasy into the world of science fiction. It probably contains a bit of all these viewpoints. My hope is that you find the material entertaining and possibly able to pique your curiosity to wonder whether our world might contain realities that stretch far beyond the standard interpretations. In this work you will find lots of numbers and symbols, some of which invite you to follow some easy calculations. If you wish to follow along, for the most part you won't need more than a pocket calculator. If you are not the calculating type, you can skip through the numbers and equations. Just focus on the discussions of the data. Throughout this essay I cite the Wikipedia many times. Before we start exploring I would like to express my gratitude to the contributors who have made such a wonderful online resource available to the world as a shared treasury of knowledge. I have also tried to document all other sources that I made use of and hope interested readers will go study the sources I mention and/or quote from for more details. As for the interpretations I create and present in this essay, they are mine and you will have to decide where to file them in your reality. In any case I will clarify, update, and amend this work as time permits and welcome your comments and suggestions. Douglass A. White, Ph.D. Fairfield, IA 2012
