Technology of the Gods: The Incredible Sciences of the Ancients

As to unusual UFO effects, he says that the ball of light that often surrounds the UFO-ship is the magneto-hydrodynamic plasma, a hot, continuously recirculating air flow through the the ship’s gas turbine which is ionized (electrically conducting). According to Clendenon, at times a shimmering mirage-like effect caused by heat, accompanied by pulsations of the ball of light makes the craft appear to be alive and breathing. This has, at times, suggests Clendenon, made witnesses to certain UFOs think that they were seeing a living thing. For some of the above reasons, the ship may seem to suddenly disappear from view, though it is actually still there and not de-materialized. The ionized bubble of air surrounding the UFO may be controlled by a computerized rheostat so the ionization of the air may shift through every color of the spectrum, obscuring the aircraft from view.
Curiously, the following item appeared on the internet in 1998 concerning the U.S. government’s secret aircraft called the TR-3B which was claimed to be powered by a mercury vortex drive as described in the Vimanika Shastra:
“The TR-3B Triangular Anti-Gravity Craft, by Ed Fouche: A very important speech was given by Ed Fouche to the 1998 Summer Sessions at the International UFO Congress, describing the 200 foot across triangular UFO ”anti-gravity“ craft being built and tested in area S-4 inside Area 51 in Nevada. Supposedly uses a heated mercury vortex to offset gravity ”mass.“
Is mercury the element of the gods? Is the caduceus is a virtual diagram for a mercury vortex propulsion device? The ancient Indian civilization may truly have had the “technology of the gods.”
The end of all learning is the recovery of the lost mind.

To Grand Teton in an Atlantean Airship
In 1899 an unusual book was published entitled A Dweller on Two Planets .20It was first dictated in 1884 by “Phylos the Thibetan” to a young Californian named Frederick Spencer Oliver who wrote the dictations down in manuscript form in 1886.
The book is a long and complicated history of a number of persons and the karma created by each of them during their many lives. It dwells especially on how the karmic relationships and events of the “amanuensis” (Frederick Spencer Oliver and his different lives as Rexdahl, Aisa and Mainin) intertwined with the many lives of “Phylos” as (Ouardl, Zo Lahm, Zailm and Walter Pierson).
A Dweller on Two Planets has remained a popular occult book for over a century, largely because it contains detailed descriptions of life in Atlantis plus devices and technology which were unquestionably well in advance of the time in which it was written. As the cover of one of the book’s editions states, “One of the greatest wonders of our times is the uncanny way in which A Dweller on Two Planets predicted inventions which modern technology fulfilled after the writing of the book.”20
Among the inventions and devices mentioned in the book are air conditioners (to overcome deadly and noxious vapors); airless cylinder lamps (tubes of crystal illuminated by the “night side forces”); electric rifles (guns employing electricity as a propulsive force—rail-guns are a similar, and very new invention); monorail transportation; water generators (an instrument for condensing water from the atmosphere); and the vailx (an aerial ship governed by forces of levitation and repulsion).
In A Dweller on Two Planets, the hero, Zailm (an earlier incarnation of Phylos and Walter Pierson), visits Caiphul, the capital of Atlantis, and views many wonderful electronic devices and the monorail system.
Later, the electromagnetic airships of Atlantis are introduced, along with radio and television (don’t forget, this book was written in 1886). It is explained that the airships, similar to zeppelins, but more like a cigar-shaped craft, are electro-magnetic-gravitational in nature. They move through the air using a form of anti-gravity and are also capable of entering the water as submarines.
The book also contains a fascinating trip by one of these airships to a building on the summit of the Tetons. The main protagonist of the book, a young man named Zailm, visits “Umaur,” a colony of Poseid. The description may be a rare psychic look at the ancient North American continent of 11,000 years ago.
“...From the city of Tolta, on the shore of Miti, our vailx arose and sped away north, across the lake Ui (Great Salt Lake) to its northwestern shore, hundreds of miles distant. On this far shore arose three lofty peaks, covered with snow, the Pitachi Ui, from which the lake at their feet took its name. On the tallest of these had stood, perhaps for five centuries, a building made of heavy slabs of granite. It had originally been erected for the double purpose of worship of Incal (the Sun, or God), and astronomical calculations, but was used in mv dav as a monastery. There was no path up the peak, and the sole means of access was by vailx.“10, 20

Then, in a break in the story, Frederick Spencer Oliver alleges that such massive, granite-slab walls were discovered in 1866 by a Professor Hayden, allegedly the first person to climb Grand Teton. Says the text, “In the neighborhood of twenty years ago, more or less, counting from 1886, an intrepid American explorer... went as far west as the Three Tetons. These mountain triplets were the Pitachi Ui, of Atl. Professor Hayden, having arrived at the base of these lofty peaks, succeeded, after indefatigable toil, in reaching the top of the greater peak, and made the first ascent known to modern times. On its top he found a roofless structure of granite slabs, within which, he said, that ‘the granite detritus was of a depth indicating that for eleven thousand years it had been undisturbed.’ His inference was that this period had elapsed since the construction of the granite walls. Well, the professor was right, as I happen to know. He was examining a structure made by Poseid hands one hundred and twenty-seven and a half thousand years ago, and it was because Professor Hayden was once a Poseida and held a position under the Atlan Government, as an attache of the government body of scientists stationed at Pitachi Ui, that he was karmically attracted to return to the scene of his labors long ago. Perhaps knowledge of this fact would have increased the interest he felt in the Three Tetons.”
The narrative then resumes the journey: “Our vailx alighted upon the ledge without the temple Ui just as nightfall came on. It was very cold there, so far north, and at such an altitude...The primary cause of our visit was our desire to pay devotion to Incal as He arose next morning... Next morning after sunrise our vessel lifted and departed for the east, that we might visit our copper mines in the present Lake Superior region. We were conducted in electric trams through the labyrinths of galleries and tunnels. When we were about to leave, the government overseer of the mines presented each of our company with various articles of tempered copper.”20
The group then returns to Poseid, making part of the journey underwater.
The book is curious and the statements quite interesting, to say the least. Do massive granite slabs in the form of walls exist on the top of Grand Teton? If they did they would certainly be in poor condition and if they exist, they might be thought to be natural. It would be nice to have the idea, begun by the book, that Atlantean ruins exist somewhere in the Grand Tetons, either proven or disproven.
The ancient copper mines of the Lake Superior region do indeed exist and are a mysterious archaeological fact. They were known in the mid-1800s, and are a source of pure copper. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of tons of pure copper was taken out of the open pit mines of Lake Superior starting over 5,000 years ago. The civilization that mined this copper—and where it went—is still a mystery.
A Dweller on Two Planets is an odd book, one that seems to go beyond mere fiction. If the vimanas of the ancient Rama Empire flew around the world, surely they would transport cargo and passengers just like today’s airships. One might enter a vimana port in Ayodhya, India circa 12000 BC and fly over the Pacific Ocean and then on to South America. The next stop of your round-the-world trip might be the Atlantean fortress on top of Grand Teton, before returning home to Poseid. As we walk down the long corridors of the airline t
erminal on the way to our next flight, should we wonder—is there nothing new under the sun?

Ancient Atomic Warfare
We learn from history that we do not learn anything from history.
—Mark Twain
War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
—Thomas Jefferson
Incredible Evidence for an Ancient Atomic War
The following item appeared in the New York Herald Tribune on February 16, 1947 (and was repeated by Ivan T. Sanderson in the January, 1970 issue of his magazine Pursuit): When the first atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico, the desert sand turned to fused green glass. This fact, according to the magazine Free World, has given certain archaeologists a turn. They have been digging in the ancient Euphrates Valley and have uncovered a layer of agrarian culture 8000 years old, and a layer of herdsman culture much older, and a still older caveman culture. Recently, they reached another layer... of fused green glass. Think it over, brother.
It is well known that atomic detonations on or above a sandy desert will melt the silicon in the sand and turn the surface of the earth into a sheet of glass. But if sheets of ancient desert glass can be found in various parts of the world, does it mean that ancient atomic wars were fought in the past, or at the very least, that atomic testing occurred in the dim ages of history?
This is a startling theory, but one that is not lacking in evidence, as such ancient sheets of desert glass are a geological fact. Lightning strikes can sometimes fuse sand, meteorologists contend, but this is always in a distinctive, root-like pattern. These strange geological oddities are called fulgu rites and manifest as branched, tubular forms, rather than as flat sheets of fused sand. Therefore, lightning is largely ruled out as the cause of such finds by geologists, who prefer to hold onto the theory of a meteor or comet strike as the cause. The problem with this theory is that there is usually no crater associated with these anomalous sheets of glass.
Brad Steiger and Ron Calais report in their book Mysteries of Time and Space16that Albion W. Hart, one of the first engineers to graduate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, was assigned an engineering project in the interior of Africa. While he and his men were traveling to an almost inaccessible region, they had first to cross a great expanse of desert.
“At the time he was puzzled and quite unable to explain a large expanse of greenish glass which covered the sands as far as he could see,” writes Margarethe Casson in an article on Hart’s life in the magazine Rocks and Minerals (No. 396, 1972).
She then goes on to mention that, “Later on, during his life... he passed by the White Sands area after the first atomic explosion there, and he recognized the same type of silica fusion which he had seen fifty years earlier in the African desert.”16
The Mystery of Tektites
Large desert areas strewn with mysterious globules of “glass”—known as tektites—are occasionally discussed in geological literature. These blobs of “hardened glass” (glass is a liquid, in fact) are thought to come from meteorite impacts in most cases, but the evidence shows that in many cases there is no impact crater.
Another explanation is that tektites have a terrestrial explanation—one that includes atomic war or high-tech weapons capable of melting sand. The tektite debate was summed up in an article in Scientific American (August 1978) by John O‘Keefe entitled The Tektite Problem. Said O’Keefe:
Indonesian Tektites
If tektites are terrestrial, it means that some process exists by which soil or common rocks can be converted in an instant into homogeneous, water-free, bubble-free glass and be propelled thousands of miles above the atmosphere. If tektites come from the moon, it seems to follow that there is at least one powerful volcano somewhere on the moon that has erupted at least as recently as 750,000 years ago. Neither possibility is easy to accept. Yet one of them must be accepted, and I believe it is feasible to pick the more reasonable one by rejecting the more unlikely.
The key to solving the tektite problem is an insistence on a physically reasonable hypothesis and a resolute refusal to be impressed by mere numerical coincidences such as the similarity of terrestrial sediments to tektite material. I believe that the lunar-volcanism hypothesis is the only one physically possible, and that we have to accept it. If it leads to unexpected but not impossible conclusions, that is precisely its utility.
