It’s that time of the year again where we get to go and participate in the Miami Book Fair, particularly during the Street Fair weekend happening this November 22-24 in Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus. The book fair, considered America’s finest literary festival, is a great opportunity for national and international authors to showcase and promote their works to hundreds of thousands of attendees and book enthusiasts. It’s also a chance for authors, exhibitors, booksellers, and other professionals from the publishing world to share and exchange ideas and discover current trends in the industry. In this issue, we got to talk with Dr. Frank Douglas, author of the engrossing memoir Defining Moments of a Free Man from a Black Stream. Douglas shares how he became a successful researcher, scientist, and published author despite the challenges and adversities. In “Kids Need to Know About Mom’s Breast Cancer Diagnosis,” author Diane Davies explains how one can have a truthful and honest conversation with children when someone in the family has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Shirley Andrews makes her case that extraterrestrial beings helped mankind with their prehistoric achievements in “Gods from the Sky to Earth in Prehistory.” We also offer a glimpse of Kay Whidbee Sherwood’s new book, News From the Holy Land III: The Messiah’s Kingdom. We continue to receive contributions from various talents and genius creators, and in this issue, we feature the works of Gloria Winkles, Ivor Kovac, Mounina Bouna Aly, Thomas Reischel, Dr. Frank L. Douglas, and Ted Torgersen. Finally, get to know more about the wonderful city of Miami and its attractions in our lifestyle feature “My Oh My Miami.” We all love stories that resonate with our own, especially those that bring us to greater heights in mood and in thought. We hope you’ll enjoy reading this issue as much as we enjoyed piecing it together.

friends from the cosmos brought

previously unknown fruits and grains

to the Earth. The first emperors of

China maintained that they were not

descended from human beings on

this planet; their ancestors came from

the heavens above in metal dragons

that spit fire. Recent translations of

ancient Indian epics contain hundreds

of references to the presence of the

Gods and their ships that flew in the

air. These books from the past include

information about the vehicles, details

of how to operate and repair them,

and even accurate portrayals of the

land of our world as it appears from

far above.

In the Bible, the Gods space vehicles

are referred to as swift clouds or

cloud chariots, or just chariots, the

primary means of transportation when

Biblical information was assembled

and interpreted. Pilots are charioteers

and liftoffs are whirlwinds. Ezekiel

1:4-5 offers one of the more graphic

descriptions: “As I looked, behold a

stormy wind came out of the north

and a great cloud, with brightness

round about it, and fire flashing forth

continually. And from the midst of

it came the likeness of four living

creatures.”

Airplanes, space ships and rockets were

unknown in the early 20th century

when the 25,000 clay tablets from the

library in Nineveh, the ancient royal

capital of Sumeria were discovered.

No one understood the Sumerians’

references to the all-powerful Gods

who came to their country in ships

from the heavens in the third

millennium B.C. Zecharia Sitchin,

an expert in Sumerian, Assyrian,

Babylonian and Hittite languages, as

well as the history and archaeology of

the ancient Near East, offers an up-todate

translation of these texts. Sitchin

reports that they reveal that Gods

from the sky spent time in the lands

between the Tigris and Euphrates

Rivers for hundreds of years. They

resembled humans, wore helmets,

possessed weapons, and were the

source of the rapid appearance of the

Sumerian’s sophisticated knowledge

of architecture, astronomy, metallurgy,

complex mathematics and advanced

medical techniques.

Striking similarities between the

Atlanteans’ and the Sumerians’ culture

suggest that extraterrestrials were

at least partially responsible for the

advanced civilization of Atlantis.

Plato describes the God Poseidon

settling in Atlantis and marrying

a mortal woman who bore many

children. In a similar way, Sumerian

tests and pictography depict the

Gods uniting with women from

the Earth. Poseidon’s superhuman

feats as he constructed his home

in Atlantis, dug large canals and

excavated for the capitol city resemble

the capabilities of the Gods of history.

Plato’s Atlantean City of the Golden

Gates contains many similarities

to the beautiful capitol city of the

Sumerians who write that Gods and

Goddesses furnished a considerable

amount of assistance in its design

and construction.

Respected psychics offer insight

into the contributions and presence

of extraterrestrials at the time of

Atlantis. Ruth Montgomery gives

visitors from outer space the credit

for the great crystal which provided

the Atlanteans with a nonpolluting

source of power. In 1938 Edgar Cayce

relates that occupants of vehicles

came to the Earth during its last

period and warned the Atlanteans of

the impending destruction of their

country.(Reading 1681-1) At another

time he refers to visitors to the Earth

from other worlds or planets at the

beginning of the Mayan civilization.

(Reading 1616-1)

One of the greatest mysteries in the

study of the evolution of mankind is

the sudden appearance on the Earth’s

surface of Cro-Magnon peoples.

For hundreds of thousands of years

the human race was unchanged.

Individuals retained the same physical

characteristics, worked with simple

stone tools and searched for food

in similar ways. Suddenly, without

progenitors, Cro-Magnons appeared

in widely separated areas. These

intelligent, modern people lived on

the southern tip of Africa 100,000

years ago, in Australia and the Near

East 60,000 years ago, and in France

and Spain in the valleys of rivers

leading to the Atlantic Ocean 35,000

years ago. Zecharia Sitchin and many

others believe the abrupt emergence

of Cro-Magnons was the result of

“when the sons of God came into

the daughters of men, and they bore

children to them,” as described in the

Bible in Genesis VI.

Ancient Sumerian clay tablets refer

to the Gods who came from above

and supervised the construction in

their land of step pyramids with flat

tops. Similar prehistoric buildings

are prevalent in Mexico, Egypt and

China, all places favored by heavenly

visitors. The earliest pyramids in

Egypt were constructed with flat tops

for religious services, but before long,

because of the heat, the worshipers

preferred to be indoors and the sides

were extended up to a point.

Our visitors from space came from

a variety of places. The Cherokee

believe their forebears were people

from the stars known as the seven

dancers (the Pleiades) who settled in

Atlantis and moved to the American

continent when the Atlantean islands

sank into the ocean. The Pleiades are

a group of about 300 stars that lie

within the constellation Taurus the

Bull. Although they are 400 light

years from our sun, seven of these

stars are visible without a telescope.
