Cremo and Thompson state the implications in no uncertain terms:
According to a recent U.S. Geological Survey map of the Boston-Dorchester area, the pudding stone, now called the Roxbury conglomerate, is of Precambrian age, over 600 million years old. By standard accounts, life was just beginning to form on this planet during the Precambrian. But in the Dorchester vessel we have evidence indicating the presence of artistic metal workers in North America over 600 million years before Leif Erickson.671
In other words, before there were even dinosaurs, someone of intelligence, with a culture and a technology to produce such an object of art, existed on planet Earth, and all this from Scientific American, before the theory of evolution, and before it was taken over by that theory’s cardinalate.672
3. The Smithsonian’s 200,000 Year Old Coin
Another strange find was reported in 1871 by William E. Dubois of the Smithsonian Institution. One of these was a small copper coin covered with strange markings and an unidentifiable figure. The coin was retrieved by a man drilling a well from a depth of 125 feet, through 3 feet of soil, “10 feet of yellow clay; 44 feet of blue clay; 4 feet of clay, sand, and gravel; 19 feet of purple clay; 10 feet of brown hard pan; 8.5 feet of green clay; 2 feet of vegetable mould; 2.5 feet of yellow clay; 2 feet of yellow hard pan; and 20.5 feet of mixed clay.”673 The Illinois State Geological Survey’s estimates for the age of deposits at the 114 foot level was that they were formed at the “Yarmouthian Interglacial ‘sometime between 200,000 and 400,000 years ago.’”674 This is intriguing, because it corresponds with the same approximate time frame given in the Sumerian Kings List of the arrival on Earth of the Anunnaki, and the time that they allegedly reigned on Earth prior to the Flood: 241,200 years.
But there were other interesting things about the coin than its age. Dubois noted that the coin was polygonal, its inscriptions were in no recognizable language, and most importantly, since it was of uniform thickness, Dubois concluded that it must have “passed through a rolling-mill...”675 This flies squarely in the face of standard models in any number of ways, from the existence of such technology, to the fact that Homo sapiens sapiens is not believed to have lived “much earlier than 100,000 years ago,” to the fact that metal coins were thought to be used only after the eighth century BC in Asia Minor.676

4. The Nampa Figurine, and Technology in the Coal
Another anomalous find was discovered in 1889 at Nampa, Idaho at a depth of 300 feet, again from a well-boring. The figurine is an anatomically correct depiction of the modern human form, of a female, and of very refined artistic technique. The figurine is only approximately 1 ½ inches tall, making the refinement of the artistic technique it displays the more remarkable. The strata from which the little female figure came dates from the Plio-Pleistocene age, making it approximately 2,000,000 years old!
Another remarkably old object was discovered by an Illinois housewife as she was breaking up coal to place in her coal scuttle. On breaking up one lump, she discovered a gold chain of apparently antique design was partially embedded in one of the fragments. After the woman’s death the chain could not be traced, but the layer of coal from which it allegedly came made the chain between 260-320 million years old.678 A similar incident occurred in Oklahoma, when an iron pot was discovered embedded in coal that had been broken up. The coal was traced to its original mine, where the strata from which the pot came dated to 312,000,000 years ago.679 Again the implications of these discoveries would be dismissible if there was only one of them, but two such discoveries in widely separated regions, from approximately the same time period indicate that someone with technological metal-working skills existed on planet Earth a very long time ago.
5. Footprints of a Paleoancient Civilization
Two enormously anomalous discoveries were made in the American Southwest. On October 8, 1992 the “American Weekly” section of the New York Sunday American carried an article entitled “Mystery of the Petrified ‘Shoe Sole’ 5,000,000 Years Old.” The article was by Dr. W.H. Ballou, who reported a discovery by the geologist John Reid, who was digging for fossils in Nevada. Much to his surprise, Reid discovered a very strange “fossil” indeed, that of the sole print of a shoe in rock that was at least 5,000,000 years old!680 But five million years proved to be far to late a date for the print, since the rock on which it was found was from the Triassic period, usually dated to some 213-248 million years ago.

Another very controversial find is the so-called Meistner shoeprint, discovered in 1968 in Utah by William J. Meister, an amateur fossil hunter and collector. This shoeprint was found in Cambrian shale near the town of Antelope Spring, Utah. The print occurs in rock that is over 505 million years old. Of course, as Cremo and Thompson point out, the find was quickly dismissed, as scientists closed ranks and came up with a variety of sound bites attacking “creationists” and “flat earthers,” even after one evolutionary biologist admitted he had not actually seen the print firsthand himself. While this is not the place to survey the controversy surrounding this incredible print,682 Cremo and Thompson admit that the case remains ambiguous, but unlike the dogmatists in the university science faculties, they “suggest... that the resources of empirical investigation have not yet been exhausted and that the Meistner print is worthy of further research.“683

6. Artifacts that are Products of Technology
In 1968 Y. Druet and H. Salfati stated that they had found semi-ovoid metallic tubes “of identical shape but varying size in Cretaceous chalk” in a quarry near Saint-Jean de Livet in France. This would made the mysterious tubes, the obvious products of a technology, at least 65,000,000 years old. The significance of the date, by now, should be obvious, for it is the date of Van Flandern’s first planetary explosion.
An even more anomalous find occurred when curious metallic spheres were found in a mine in Ottosdal in the Transvaal in South Africa. According to Roelf Marx, “curator of the museum of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where some of the spheres are housed,” the metallic spheres “are a complete mystery. They look man-made, yet at the time in Earth’s history when they came to rest in this rock no intelligent life existed.”685

Two of these little balls show features we’ve encountered before. One of them, a metallic sphere, was discovered in a layer of Precambrian deposits, making it some 2.8 billion — that’s billion with a “b” — years old! This strange sphere has another oddity: three parallel grooves running around its equator:
2.8 Billion Year Old Metallic Sphere with Three Equatorial Grooves, Found in the Transvaal, South Africa 687
Yet another of these spheres exhibits a single equatorial groove, and a small “pit” or “crater” just above this groove:
South African Metallic Sphere with Single Equatorial Groove and Small “Pit” or “Crater” Like Feature above it 688
We’ve seen something like these features before, on Saturn’s “moon” Iapetus! While there is, of course, no evidence to connect the little South African metal balls with that enormous and most probably artificial object orbiting Saturn, the resemblance is all too palpable, and raises intriguing possibilities. Might we be looking, for example, at a child’s set of toy models? While we will probably never know the answer to that or similar questions, the fact remains that the resemblance is there.
But more importantly, the fact that these little spheres even exist is yet another piece of evidence that someone intelligent, possibly human, possibly not, was on this planet a very very long time ago indeed.
C. Some Radical Speculations Courtesy of the Cooper-Cantwheeel MAJIC-12 Documents
1. Human Origins and th
e “Celestial Extent” of Humanity or its Genus
This short review of Cremo and Thompson’s massive catalogue of evidences for the great antiquity of mankind has indicated that someone of intelligence was on Earth during the time periods hypothesized for the great Cosmic War. Moreover, the dispersion of this evidence, from North America to Europe to South Africa, slight as this account of evidence reviewed here is, tends to support the view that this paleoancient civilization was at least fairly well-dispersed over the surface of the planet. And the great antiquity of some of these anomalous discoveries also suggests an answer to Lyell’s question that began our review of Cremo and Thompson’s evidences. Lyell, as was seen, asked why there was not evidence of a great, advanced, lost civilization. And the answer that Cremo and Thompson’s own catalogue of anomalies seems to suggest is, that there is so little because that civilization was of such extreme antiquity that very little evidence is likely to remain, and if it does, it lies buried beneath hundreds of feet of geological strata. To put it succinctly, we merely haven’t dug deep enough.
These evidences also raise another equally if not more important question: Who was present on Earth that long ago? The answer of many of the ancient mythologies would be that the “sons of heaven” or the “Anunnaki” or the “b’nai Elohim, ” the “sons of God,” were.
However, a slightly different - though not ultimately contradictory — answer is suggested by a most unusual source. Readers of my books on World War Two Nazi secret weapons research, Reich of the Black Sun and The SS Brotherhood of the Bell, will recall that I analyzed the so-called Cooper-Cantwheel series of the MAJIC-12 or MAJESTIC-12 documents. One of those documents, which will be our focus here, was called the “Project White Hot Intelligence Estimate (Preliminary).” This document is divided into three sections, the first section dealing with the crash and recovery of bodies at the celebrated Roswell crash, the second section being a “Technical Evaluation(Preliminary)”, and the third section entitled “Scientific Probabilities.”689
It is part three that interests us here. I will cite the portion of this section of the document that concerns us at length to show the context, italicizing those portions of the document that provide a radical answer to our question, “Who was here that long ago?”
1. Based on all available evidence collected from recovered exhibits currently under study by AMC, AFSWP, NEPA, AEC, ONR, NACA, JRDB, RAND, USAAF, SAG, and MIT, are deemed extraterrestrial in nature.
Thus far, the document sounds like it is supporting the idea that the bodies allegedly recovered at the Roswell crash are non-human extraterrestrials, right? Read further:
This conclusion was reached as a result of comparisons of artifacts690discovery in 1941. The technology is outside the scope of US Science, even that of German rocket and aircraft development.
2. Interplanetary space travel is possible provided adequate funding, necessary resources are made available, and national interest is piqued.
5. Human origins may not be constrained to one planet. Our genus may be found among solar systems similar to our own.
6. The laws of physics and genetics may have a genesis in a higher, structured order that once (sic) previously thought.691
Statements 5 and 6 occur in a context in the document after autopsies are allegedly performed on the “recovered bodies” from the UFO crash. While most people rush to see in these documents a confirmation of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, what they miss are the implications of these two highly significant statements, for if the document is genuine - and assuming for the sake of argument that it is - then it means that the recovered bodies were so sufficiently like us that they are referred to as “human,” and thus the document raises the question that the document itself addresses: that the genus within which homo sapiens sapiens fits may, and evidently does, exist on other planets.
And thus one is led to point 6 in the document, and to its astonishing conclusion: “The laws of physics and genetics may have a genesis in a higher, structured order (than) once previously thought.” What the document is in fact suggesting here is a degree of scientific sophistication - apparently suggested to the experts examining the recovered components and bodies from the crash — that displays a union of physics and biology in a higher theoretical order. This is exactly the same sort of thing that was implied by the clues upon which we speculated on what really constituted the Tablets of Destinies. That is, that evolutionary processes that lead to the development of particular kinds of intelligent life - recall that comment about the human “genus” in point 5 — might be derivable from the same sort of formally explicit laws that the physical technology of the recovered craft suggests.
Now this is interesting, because it flies in the face of the physics technology that is actually described in the document, which, as I point out in Reich of the Black Sun and in The SS Brotherhood of the Bell, is simply insufficient to indicate a craft capable of interplanetary, much less interstellar, travel. In fact, as I argue in those books, the technology surveyed in the Cooper-Cantwheel MAJIC-12 documents sounds all too human and terrestrial, indeed, it sounds only modestly more advanced than the technology of the late 1940s, when this “advanced craft” crashed!
So in other words, these conclusions in points 5 and 6 exceed the stated scope of the evidence cited internally in the document itself, and this implies that something about the technology that was omitted from the document suggested to the technical analysts involved in the recovery that they were dealing with something paradoxically both humanly terrestrial and humanly extraterrestrial.
In any case, the document makes the astonishing suggestion that humanity or at least its “genus” may possibly be found on a multitude of worlds and may not be limited to our own solar system.
2. The Two Space Programs Hypothesis and Scientific Suppression
These speculations return us once again to the idea of two space programs, a covert and an overt one. Many researchers who have studied the phenomena of anomalous and artificial artifacts on other planets, such as Richard Hoagland, Mark Carlotto, and others have often commented on the fact that NASA and other agencies are apparently covering up, or tampering with or otherwise altering the publicly available data and photographs. Others, such as Lt. Col. Tom Bearden, or physicists Tom Vallone or Paul LaViolette, have noted a similar cover-up in place in the suppression of alternative energy inventions or theoretical papers. And, in this chapter, we have encountered evidences of the antiquity of mankind (or of “whomever” as I have indicated in the chapter title) which is ignored or deliberately forgotten and suppressed by the scientific community.
We thus have the following areas in which a cover-up, tampering, or suppression of the evidence is visible, or at least suggested:
1. A cover-up of anomalies indicating intelligent design on other planets within our solar system, which may extend to a cover-up of data concerning the actual geology, geography, and physics of celestial bodies. Moreover, this cover-up may extend to the concealment of the true purpose of space programs, which may be to recover whatever ancient advanced technology as may be found on nearby celestial bodies;
2. A cover-up of alternative conceptions and technologies in physics since at least the early nineteenth century, which may lead both to greater energy efficiency, and to weapons of horrendous power;
3. A cover-up of anomalous data concerning the great antiquity of mankind, or of “whomever,” on Earth, and of the apparent technological sophistication that was achieved, a cover-up usually made in aid of defending the theory of evolution. In fact the real motivation for doing so may not lie in defending the leaky theory of evolution, but diverting attention from the possibility that very advanced ancient technologies may exist. Moreover, this cover-up may be due - as the MAJIC-12 documents suggest - to the fact that “insiders” possess information suggesting that human origins are interplanetary in nature.
If one looks at this list of possibilities and speculations, then it is clear that the
Cosmic War Hypothesis touches on each of the three main areas. This in turn suggests that the Cosmic War Hypothesis itself may be one of the hidden motivations for each of the three areas of cover-up. After all, if there was such a war, it implies a celestial extent to humanity, or “whomever,” and a sophistication of technology and a potential for destruction that we can scarcely imagine. If one adds into that volatile mix the clear indications of our most ancient myths, that there was also an ancient and preternaturally malign intelligence behind the most primordial revolt, then it is a frightening scenario indeed.

SUMMARIES AND FINAL SPECULATIONS
“As to the fight by the Persea tree hard by, in Annu, it concerneth the children of impotent revolt when justice is wrought upon them for what they have done. As to (the words) ‘that night of the battle,’ they concern the inroad (of the children of impotent revolt) into the eastern part of heaven, whereupon there arose a battle in heaven and in all the earth. ”
