Atlantis and the Neanderthals
A Best-Selling Writer Searches for 100,000 Years of Lost History and Outlines the Discoveries in His New Book
BY COLIN WILSON
Charles Hapgood, an American professor of history, became convinced in 1989 that a civilization, `with high levels of science,' had existed at least 100,000 years ago.
In the mid-1950s, Hapgood had written a book called Earth's Shifting Crust, to which Einstein contributed an Introduction, arguing that the whole crust of the earth undergoes periodic `slippages,' one of which in 9500 B.C. had caused the North Pole to move from Hudson Bay to its present position. And in 1966, his Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings had suggested that mediaeval maps called `portolans'—used by sailors to navigate from port to port—proved that there must have been a worldwide maritime civilization in 7000 B.C.
In 1989 he told the writer Rand Flem-Ath that he intended to bring out a new edition of Earth's Shifting Crust, containing his evidence that civilization had existed since before 100,000 years ago. But before he could do that, he walked in front of a car and was killed.
I agreed to collaborate with Rand Flem-Ath in trying to solve the mystery of the `lost civilization,' which Rand
equated with Atlantis. But if Hapgood was correct, Atlantis
was tens of thousands years older than Plato assumed.
After a long search, I was fortunate enough to track down the man who claimed to have convinced him that civilization, in fact, dated back 100,000 years. He was an eccentric recluse who lived in a small town in New England. When I asked him to explain what had convinced him that there was civilization 100,000 years ago, he specified two things: (1) that Neanderthal man was far more intelligent than we assume and (2) that ancient measures prove that man knew the exact size of the earth millennia before the Greek Eratosthenes worked it out in 240 B.C.
A little research of my own quickly verified both statements. Far from being a shambling ape, Neanderthal man had a larger brain than we have, was well acquainted with astronomy, played musical instruments and even invented the blast furnace. As to the size of the earth, the ancient Greeks had a measure called the stade—the length of a stadium. The polar circumference of the earth proves to be exactly 216,000 stade. Yet the Greeks did not know the size of the earth. They must have inherited the stade from someone who did know.
On a cruise down the Nile in 1997 I stumbled on another crucial discovery: the Nineveh number, a vast 15 digit number found inscribed on an Assyrian clay tablet in the ruins of Assurbanipal's library. Yet the Assyrians were no great
mathematicians. The French space engineer, Maurice
Chatelain—who provided the first moon rocket with its
communication system—discovered powerful internal evidence
that the Nineveh number must have been worked out about 65,000
years ago.
He also learned that two more numbers, even larger, were found inscribed on stele in the Mayan sacred city of Quiriga. These shared with the Nineveh number a remarkable characteristic: they could be divided precisely by the number of years it takes the earth to complete its `precessional cycle' round the sun, just under 26,000. (Precession of the equinoxes is the backward movement of the signs of the zodiac, so that in the heavens, spring begins slightly earlier each year.)
So it seems the Assyrians inherited their knowledge of precession from some early `founder' civilization— presumably the same civilization from which the Maya, thousands of years later and thousands of miles across the Atlantic, inherited theirs.
I came upon one more important discovery on that Nile cruise. It was something that happened in the temple of Edfu and it took six more years before its full significance dawned on me and provided a sudden insight into the secret of Egyptian temples. Of this more in a moment.
I had come upon another interesting piece of evidence that `high levels of science' date back much earlier than we suppose. It started with the mystery of the Libyan desert glass. Two British scientists driving through the Libyan desert discovered large quantities of a fused green glass, highly valued by Arab craftsmen for making jewelry. Their first assumption, that these were `tektites,' a fused glass that comes from outer space, had to be abandoned since it lacked the typical air bubbles and left them with the only alternative hypothesis: that this glass had been manufactured by some strange industrial process around 6000 B.C. But that would have required large quantities of water. It was Hapgood who was able to assure the investigators that there had been vast lakes in the desert in 6000 B.C. When Lord Rennell of Rodd described the mystery to a scientist named John V. Dolphin, who had worked on testing the atom bomb in the desert of Australia,
Dolphin told him that the glass looked just like the fused sand left behind after an atom bomb test, which led Lord Rennell to consider the possibility that the makers of the Libyan desert glass had mastered atomic energy. Hapgood dismissed this notion, being himself convinced that the ancients simply had some other method of producing very high temperatures—of around 6,000 degrees.
Unknown to Hapgood and Lord Rennell, a Bulgarian inventor named Ilya Velbov—who later called himself Yull Brown—had solved this problem. Brown made the extraordinary discovery that if the hydrogen and oxygen in water are separated and then re-combined in a kind of oxy-acetylene flame, it will punch an instantaneous hole in a piece of hard wood, burn tungsten (requiring 6,000 degrees), vaporize metals, melt a firebrick and weld glass to copper. Brown called this mixture `Brown's gas,' and the Chinese used it in their submarines to turn seawater into drinking water. Yet because no one understands the process, science has shown total lack of interest in it. However, Brown had no doubt it was known to the ancients, who used it to extract purified gold from gold ore.
Brown's total refusal to compromise with American industry ruined his one excellent chance of achieving fame and riches and he died unknown.
But if Hapgood is correct about his 100,000-year-old
science, what evidence remains? Well, a modern builder would
admit that, for all our technology, he would have no idea of
how to go about building the Great Pyramid. The same is true
of the magnificent ruins of Tiahuanaco, in the Andes, whose
harbor area has blocks so big that no modern crane could
lift them. These builders seem to have had some technology for
moving immensely heavy weights.
Lake Titicaca, on which Tiahuanaco was once a port, is full of sea creatures. At some time in the past, a geological convulsion raised it two and a half miles in the air. Geologists assume this was millions of years ago, but this is absurd. Who would build a great port on a lake with no other ports or cities? Surely, Tiahunaco must have been at sea level when the convulsion occurred. In their book When the Earth Nearly Died, Compelling Evidence of a Cosmic Catastrophe of 9500 B.C. (1995), D. S. Allan and J. B. Delair argue that the convulsion was probably due to the impact of a comet or asteroid. The date, of course, is the date Plato assigns to the destruction of Atlantis "in a day and a night."
The story of the great flood is preserved in the legends of the Haida Indians of Canada and of many other tribes. But which flood? Plato speaks of no less than four. The first of these was the Atlantis flood. The second is referred to in the Book of Enoch and the rituals of the Freemasons and it took place approximately two thousand years after Plato's flood. "Seven burning mountains" fell to earth from space, according to the evidence of Professor Alexander Tollmann, the largest in the Sunda Strait and it set in motion a great migration north, which created civilizations in India and then in Sumeria (the Sumerians are regarded as the founders of European civilization). The third flood,
around 6000 B.C., created the Black Sea and was the flood of
Noah and the Epic of Gilgamesh. The fourth, "Deucalion's
flood," occurred in the Bronze age, around 2200 B.C. Another
vast catastrophe struck in A.D. 535, causing worldwide famine,
drought and plague,
which destroyed, among others, the civilization of the Maya in Central America and of the Nazca Indians of Peru, whose giant line-drawings on the surface of the desert, we now know, were designed to persuade the gods to send rain.
These drawings can be seen only from the air and have given rise to the theory that the Nazca shamans, with the aid of "psychedelic" drugs (which the Indians are known to have used) were able to achieve out-of-the-body experiences that enabled them to do this. The Indians of the Peruvian forest use a drug called ayahuasca, which (according to anthropologist Jeremy Narby) they claim taught them the properties of 80,000 plants and the structure of DNA.
I argue in my new book Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals (Inner Traditions 2006) that shamans have a knowledge of nature that goes far beyond that of modern science. There seems to be no doubt that shamans possess powers that we would consider "magical," and many examples are cited. The healing abilities of shamans can also be used for the opposite purpose, to produce sickness and death. The Kahuna priests of Hawaii can use the Death Prayer to kill enemies. And it was when reading about their power to protect temples with a curse and the story of one rash youth who became paralyzed from the waist down after entering a "fordidden" temple in a spirit of bravado, that I suddenly saw the meaning of an incident that had happened in 1997 in the temple of Edfu. These temples were, indeed, alive; a certain ritual could summon the god or goddess as a living force. The curse of Tutankamun was undoubtedly more than a legend.
It is clear that the ancients possessed some extraordinary ability to multiply huge numbers, very like those possessed by modern calculating prodigies (such as 5 year old Benjamin Blyth, who took only a few minutes to work out how many seconds he had been alive). The Infinite Harmony by Mike Hayes, shows the intimate relation between the DNA code and the I Ching. This leads to a consideration of synchronicity, which modern science refuses to recognize and the "certain blindness in human beings" which causes us to "filter out" so much of our experience. Goethe, like William James, was fully aware of this blindness and the scientific "filters" that cause us to see "God's living garment" as a world of dead matter. Consider Goethe's Theory of Color. We speak of "eidetic vision," the odd ability of certain people (like Nicola Tesla) to be able to recreate some object inside their heads. (It is also fundamental to training in magic.)
Julian Jaynes realized that man is trapped in a grey world created by the left cerebral hemisphere, the scientific part of the brain. But then, Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, two founders of the Theosophical Society, wrote a book called Occult Chemistry that describes quarks more than half a century before science posited their existence.
Another scientist Chandra Bose saw nature—even metals—as alive. And this takes us back to Hapgood, who after his retirement became interested in some very odd aspects of science—for example, the discovery by lie-detector expert Cleve Backster that plants can read our minds. While still a college professor, he did experiments with his students that demonstrated that plants that are "prayed for" flourish more than plants that are ignored, while plants that are "prayed against" often died. Hapgood became very interested in the "life fields" discovered by the American scientist Harold Burr and the recognition that these can be controlled by "thought fields." Hapgood's studies of anthropology led him to conclude that man has been as intelligent as ourselves for at least 200,000 years and perhaps for two million. There is, in fact, evidence that our ancestor homo erectus was sailing the seas on rafts 800,000 years ago.
Most amazing are Hapgood's experiments with hypnosis, which proved conclusively that he could hypnotize his students to accurately predict the future.
There is, of course, a great deal more, which I cover in my book. In the final chapter are some of our most remarkable discoveries; for example, the unearthing of a half-million-year-old plank that had been carefully
planed on one side. We also consider Neanderthal man and some
facts that prove his high level of intelligence—and whose red
ochre mines in South Africa date back 100,000 years. One
sculpture, the Bearkhat Ram, has been dated back to a quarter
of a million years ago.
We consider the fact that "shamanic" cultures take "group consciousness" for granted—the kind of telepathic awareness that enables flocks of birds and schools of fishes to change direction simultaneously. Ancient man almost certainly possessed this same telepathic ability. Kevin Kelly's book Out of Control describes how the whole audience at a computer conference in San Diego learned this ability in a quarter of an hour. In this sense, societies like ancient Egypt were almost certainly "collectives," which could explain their
ability to lift massive weights.
We also investigate the extraordinary discoveries of John Michell, who pointed out that the "Nineveh" number can be divided by the diameters of the sun and moon and that a mathematical principle called "the Canon" seems to lie behind ancient science: the notion that our universe appears to be designed along mathematical lines—the "code of numbers that structures the universe," which implies that there is an intelligence behind this design. An example is the sequence of "Fibonacci numbers" that play such a basic part in nature, from spiral nebulae to seashells. We discuss the Anthropic Cosmological Principle, formulated by astronomer Brandon Carter, which states that the universe aims at the propagation of life and at Fred Hoyle's statement that "Our planet is perfectly suited to the incubation of life," and that "it looks as if some superintendent has been monkeying with the physics."
In that case, what is it that makes human freedom so limited? Man is confined in "close-upness" which deprives him of meaning. In our book. we glance again at some of the evidence that man may have been around far longer than science supposes—such as an iron nail embedded in a piece of coal several million years old and a mastodon's tooth engraved with a horned beast, that came from a Miocene bed of 25 million years ago.
We quote the Nobel Prize winner Frederick Soddy, who discovered isotopes, on the "evidence of a wholly unknown and unsuspected civilization of which all other relics have disappeared." And we end by quoting Plato: "that things
are far better taken care of than we can possibly imagine."

Une Recherches d'Auteur À succès pendant 100,000 Ans d'Histoire Perdue et Grands traits les Découvertes dans Son Nouveau Livre
COLIN WILSON
Charles Hapgood, un professeur américain d'histoire, est devenu convaincu en 1989 qu'une civilisation, ` avec les hauts niveaux de science, ' avait existé au moins il y a 100,000 ans.
Dans le milieu des années 1950, Hapgood avait écrit un livre appelé le Changement de la Terre de la Croûte, à laquelle Einstein a contribué une Introduction, soutenant que la croûte entière de la terre subit périodique ` des patinages[glissements], ' dont un vers 9500 av. J.-C avait causé que le Pôle arctique s'est déplacé de la Baie d'Hudson à sa position présente. Et en 1966, ses Cartes des Rois Antiques de Mer avaient suggéré que des cartes médiévales appelées ` portolans'-employé(-+eu l'habitude) par des marins pour naviguer du port à avéré de port qu'il a dû y avoir eu une civilisation mondiale maritime dans 7000 av. J.-C.
En 1989 il a dit au Rand d'auteur Flem-Ath qu'il a eu l'intention de produire(révéler) une nouvelle édition du Changement de Terre de la Croûte, contenant sa preuve(évidence) que la civilisation n'avait existé avant qu'il y a 100,000 ans. Mais avant qu'il pourrait le faire, il a marché devant une voiture et a été tué.
J'ai consenti à collaborer avec le Rand Flem-Ath dans l'essai de résoudre le mystère de ` la civilisation perdue, ' que le Rand a égalisé avec Atlantis. Mais si Hapgood était correct, Atlantis était des dizaines de milliers d'années plus vieux que Platon a assumé.
Après une longue recherche, j'étais assez chanceux de traquer l'homme qui a prétendu l'avoir convaincu que la civilisation, en fait, était datée de 100,000 ans. Il était un reclus excentrique qui a vécu dans une petite ville à La Nouvelle Angleterre. Quand je lui ai demandé d'expliquer ce qui l'avait convaincu qu'il y avait une civilisation il y a 100,000 ans, il a spécifié deux choses : (1) que l'homme Neanderthal était beaucoup plus grand en intelligence que nous supposons et (2) que des mesures antiques prouvent que l'homme savait la taille exacte de la terre des millénaires avant que le grec Eratosthenes ne l'ait mis au point dans 240 av. J.-C.
Une petite recherche de mon propre cru a rapidement vérifié toutes les deux déclarations. Loin d'être une singe traînante les pieds, Neanderthal l'homme avait un plus grand cerveau que nous, avaits été bien mis au courant de l'astronomie, a joué des instruments de musique et a même inventé le haut fourneau. Quant à la taille de la terre, les grecs antiques avaient une mesure appelée stade la longueur d'un stade. La circonférence polaire de la terre s'avère être exactement 216,000 stade. Encore les grecs n'ont pas su la taille de la terre. Ils ont dû hériter le stade de quelqu'un qui a su.
En croisière en descendant le Nil en 1997 j'ai trébuché sur une autre découverte cruciale : le numéro(nombre) de Nineveh, un énorme 15 numéro(nombre) de chiffre a trouvé inscrit sur un comprimé d'argile Assyrien dans les ruines de la bibliothèque d'Assurbanipal. Encore l'Assyrien n'était aucunement un grand mathématicien. L'ingénieur français spatial, Maurice Chatelain, qui a fourni la première fusée de la lune de sa communication la preuve(évidence) découverte de système puissante interne que le numéro(nombre) de Nineveh a dû avoir été mis au point environ il y a 65,000 ans.
Il a aussi appris qu'encore deux numéros(nombres), même plus grands, ont été trouvés inscrits sur la stèle dans la ville Mayan sacrée de Quiriga. Ceux partagés avec le Nineveh numérotent une caractéristique remarquable : ils pourraient être divisés précisément par le numéro(nombre) d'années il prend la terre pour achever son ` cycle précessionnel ' autour du soleil, juste aux alentours de 26,000. (La Précession des équinoxes est le mouvement en arrière des signes du zodiaque, pour que dans le ciel, le printemps commence légèrement plus tôt chaque année.)
Donc il semble que l'Assyrien a hérité leur connaissance sur la précession de quelque première civilisation 'de fondateur' - vraisemblablement la même civilisation duquel les Mayas, des milliers d'années plus tard et des milliers de milles à travers l'Atlantique, ont hérité le leur.
Je me suis heurté contre encore un découverte importante en cette croisière du Nil. Il y a quelque chose qui est arrivé dans le temple d'Edfu et il a pris encore six années avant que sa pleine signification ne soit née en moi et ait fourni une compréhension(idée) soudaine dans le secret de temples égyptiens. De cela plus dans un moment.
Je m'étais heurté contre un autre morceau intéressant de preuve(évidence) que ` la hauteur des niveaux de la science ' datait de beaucoup plus tôt que nous supposons. Il a commencé par le mystère du verre de désert libyen. Deux scientifiques Britanniques conduisant(roulant) par le désert libyen ont découvert les grandes quantités d'un verre fondu(fusionné) vert, fortement estimé par des artisans arabes pour la fabrication du bijou. Leur première supposition, que ceux-ci étaient ` tektites, ' un verre fondu(fusionné) qui vient du cosmos, a dû être abandonnée puisqu'il a manqué des bulles d'air typiques et les a laissés avec la seule hypothèse alternative : que ce verre avait été fabriqué par quelque processus industriel étrange autour de 6000 av. J.-C. Mais cela aurait exigé les grandes quantités d'eau. C'était Hapgood qui était capable d'assurer les investigateurs qu'il y avait eu des lacs énormes dans le désert il y a 6000 av. J.-C Quand le Lord Rennell de Rodd a décrit le mystère à un scientifique nommé John V. Le dauphin, qui avait travaillé en mise à l'épreuve de la bombe atomique dans le désert de l'Australie, le dauphin lui a dit que le verre a regardé comme le sable fondu(fusionné) laissé derrière après un essai de bombe atomique, qui a mené le Lord Rennell à considérer la possibilité que les fabricants du verre de désert libyen avaient surmonté l'énergie atomique. Hapgood a écarté cette notion, étant convaincu que les ancients avaient simplement quelque autre méthode de produire de très hautes températures- autour de 6,000 degrés.
Inconnu à Hapgood et le Lord Rennell, un inventeur bulgare nommé Ilya qui plus tard s'est appelé Yull Eu de brun a résolu ce problème. Le Brun a fait la découverte extraordinaire que si l'hydrogène et l'oxygène dans l'eau sont séparés et recombinés ensuite dans une sorte de flamme d'oxy-acétylène, il donnera un coup de poing à un trou instantané dans un morceau de bois dur, brûlera le tungstène (l'exigence de 6,000 degrés), vaporisera des métaux, fondra une brique réfractaire et soudera le verre au cuivre. Le Brun a appelé ce mélange ` le gaz du Brun, ' et les chinois l'ont employé dans leurs sous-marins pour tourner l'eau de mer en 'eau potable. Encore parce que personne ne comprend le processus, la science y a montré le manque total d'intérêt. Cependant, le Brun n'avait aucun doute on l'a connu par les ancients, qui l'ont employé pour extraire l'or épuré du minerai d'or.
Le refus total de Brun d'accepter un compromis avec l'industrie américaine a ruiné sa chance excellente de réaliser la gloire et la richesse et il est mort inconnu.
Mais si Hapgood est correct de sa science de 100,000 ans, quelle preuve(évidence) reste-t-il ? Bien, un constructeur moderne admettrait que, pour toute notre technologie, il n'aurait aucune idée de comment aller de la construction de(bâtiment) de la Grande Pyramide. Le même est vrai des ruines magnifiques de Tiahuanaco, aux Andes, dont le secteur de port a des blocs si grand qu'aucune grue moderne ne pourrait les soulever. Ces constructeurs semblent avoir eu quelque technologie pour le déplacement de poids immensément lourds.
Le lac Titicaca, sur lequel Tiahuanaco était une fois un port, est plein de créatures de mer. Il y a quelque temps dans le passé, une convulsion géologique l'a levé deux et demie milles en air. Les géologues supposent que c'était il y a des millions d'années, mais c'est absurde. Qui construirait un grand port sur un lac sans d'autres ports ou des villes ? Sûrement, Tiahunaco a dû avoir été au niveau de la mer quand la convulsion est arrivée. Dans leur livre Quand la Terre Est Presque morte, Contraignant la Preuve(évidence) d'une Catastrophe Cosmique de 9500 av. J.-C (1995), D. S. Allan et J. B. Delair soutiennent que la convulsion était probablement due à l'impact d'une comète ou l'astéroïde. La date, bien sûr, est la date Platon assigne à la destruction d'Atlantis "dans un jour et une nuit."
L'histoire de la grande inondation est préservée dans les légendes des Indiens Haida du Canada et de beaucoup d'autres tribus. Mais qu'inondez ? Platon parle de non moins de quatre. Le premier de ceux-ci était l'inondation d'Atlantis. Le deuxième est mentionné dans le Livre d'Enoch et les rituels des Franc-maçons et il a eu lieu approximativement deux mille ans après Pla-to's l'inondation. "Sept montagnes brûlantes" sont tombées à la terre de l'espace, selon la preuve(évidence) de Professeur Alexandre Toll-mann, le plus grand dans le Détroit Sunda et il a mis en mouvement un grand nord de migration, qui a créé des civilisations en Inde et ensuite en Sumeria (le Sumerians sont considéré comme les fondateurs de civilisation européenne). La troisième inondation, autour 6000 av. J.-C, a créé la Mer Noire et était l'inondation de Noah et l'Épopée de Gilgamesh. Le quatrième, "l'inondation du Deuca-lion," est arrivé dans l'âge de Bronze, autour 2200 av. J.-C. Une autre catastrophe énorme a frappé dans des ans de notre ère. 535, causant famine mondiale, sécheresse et peste, qui détruit, parmi d'autres, la civilisation Maya en Amérique Centrale et les Indiens Nazca du Pérou, dont les dessins de ligne géants sur la surface du désert, nous savons maintenant , a été conçu pour persuader les dieux d'envoyer la pluie.
On peut voir ces dessins seulement de l'air et ont provoqué la théorie que les chamans Nazca, à l'aide des drogues(médicaments) "psychédéliques" (que l'on sait que les Indiens ont employé) étaient capable de réaliser - les expériences hors-corps qui leur ont permis de faire cela. Les Indiens de la forêt péruvienne emploient une drogue(médicament) appelée ayahuasca, que (selon l'anthropologue Jeremy Narby) ils revendiquent leur a appris les propriétés de 80,000 usines(plantes) et la structure d'ADN.
Je discute dans mon nouveau livre Atlantis et le Royaume du Neanderthals (des Traditions Intérieures 2006) que les chamans ont une connaissance de la Nature qui va plus loin que la science moderne. Il semble n'y avoir aucun doute que les chamans possèdent des pouvoirs que nous considérerions "magique" et beaucoup d'exemples sont cités. Les capacités guérissantes de chamans peuvent aussi être employées pour l'opposé du but, produire la maladie et la mort. Les prêtres Kahuna du Hawaii peuvent employer la Prière Mortelle pour tuer des ennemis. Et quand je lisais sur leur pouvoir(puissance) de protéger des temples avec une malédiction et l'histoire d'un jeune homme impétueux qui est devenu paralysé de la taille en bas après l'entrée à un temple "caché" dans un esprit de bravade, que j'ai soudainement vu la signification d'un incident qui était arrivé en 1997 dans le temple d'Edfu. Ces temples étaient, en effet, vivants; un certain rituel pourrait appeler le dieu ou la déesse comme une force vivante. La malédiction de Tutankamun était sans aucun doute plus qu'une légende.
Il est clair que les ancients ont possédé quelque capacité extraordinaire de multiplier des numéros(nombres) énormes, comme ceux possédés par des prodiges modernes calculateurs(prévoyants) (comme 5 Benjamin Blyth ans, qui a pris seulement quelques minutes pour mettre au point combien de secondes il avaient été vivantes). L'Harmonie Infinie par Mike Hayes, montre la relation intime entre le code d'ADN et le je Ching. Cela mène à une considération de synchronisme, que la science moderne refuse de reconnaître et "une certaine cécité dans des gens" qui cause que nous "filtrons" tant de notre expérience. Goethe, comme William James, était entièrement conscient de cette cécité et "les filtres" scientifiques qui causent que nous voyons "le vêtement de vie de Dieu" comme un monde de matière inanimée. Considérez la Théorie de Goethe de Couleur. Nous parlons "d'eidetic la vision," la capacité étrange(impaire) des certains gens (comme Nicola Tesla) pour être capables de recréer quelque objet à l'intérieur de leurs tête. (C'est aussi fondamental pour la formation dans la magie.)
Jaynes Julien s'est rendu compte que l'homme est pris au piège dans un monde gris créé par l'hémisphère gauche cérébral, la partie scientifique du cerveau. Mais alors, Annie Besant et C.W. Leadbeater, deux fondateurs de la Société Théosophique, ont écrit un livre appelé Occulte Chimie qui décrit les quarks plus qu'un demi-siècle avant que la science n'ait posé en principe leur existence.
Un autre scientifique Chandra Bose a vu la nature-même des métaux-¦comme vivant. Et cela nous prend en arrière à Hapgood, qui après que sa retraite est devenue intéressée par quelques aspects très étranges d'exemple "la science pour", la découverte par l'expert de détecteur de mensonges Cleve Backster que les plantes peuvent lire nos esprits[pensées]. Tandis que toujours un professeur de collège(université), il a fait des expériences avec ses étudiants qui ont manifesté que les plantes que l'on "prie" fleurissent plus que les plantes qui sont ignorés, tandis que les plantes que l'on "prie" souvent mort. Hapgood est devenu très intéressé par "les champs(domaines) de vie" découvert par le scientifique américain Harold Burr et l'identification que ceux-ci peuvent être contrôlés par "les champs(domaines) de pensée." Les études d'Hapgood d'anthropologie l'ont mené pour conclure que l'homme a été aussi intelligent que nous-mêmes pour au moins 200,000 ans et peut-être pour deux millions. Il y a, en fait, la preuve que notre ancêtre homo erectus naviguait les mers sur des radeaux il y a 800,000 ans.
Le plus étonnant sont les expériences d'Hapgood avec l'hypnose, qui a prouvé définitivement qu'il pourrait hypnotiser ses étudiants pour exactement prévoir l'avenir.
Il y a, bien sûr, bien plus, que je couvre dans mon livre. Dans le chapitre final sont certaines de nos découvertes les plus remarquables; par exemple, le déterrement d'une de moitié millions-ans-vieille planche qui avait été soigneusement rabotée sur un côté. Nous considérons aussi l'homme Neanderthal et quelques faits qui prouvent son haut niveau "de l'intelligence et" dont les mines d'ocre rouges de l'Afrique du Sud qui datent d'environ 100,000 ans. Une sculpture, le Bélier de Bearkhat, a été datée d'un quart de million d'années.
Nous considérons le fait que des cultures "shamaniques" prennent "la conscience de groupe" pour la sorte "a accordé le" de conscience télépathique qui permet aux masses d'oiseaux et les bans de poissons de changer la direction simultanément. L'homme antique a presque certainement possédé cette même capacité télépathique. Le livre de Kevin Kelly du Contrôle décrit comment l'auditoire(audience) entier à une conférence d'ordinateur à San Diego a appris cette capacité dans un quart d'heure. Dans ce sens, sociétés comme l'Égypte antique étaient presque certainement "collectives", qui pourrait expliquer leur capacité de soulever des poids massifs.
Nous examinons aussi les découvertes extraordinaires de John Michell, qui a désigné que le nombre de "Nineveh" peut être divisé par les diamètres du soleil et la lune et qu'un principe mathématique appelé "le Canon" semble être couché derrière la science antique : la notion que notre univers semble être conçu le long de lignes mathématique "le code des nombres ) qui structurent l'univers," qui implique qu'il y a une intelligence derrière cette conception. Un exemple est l'ordre "de Fibonacci des nombres" qui joue un rôle de base dans la nature, de la nébuleuse en spirale aux coquillages. Nous discutons le Principe Anthropique Cosmologique, formulé par le Charretier d'astronome Brandon, qui déclare que l'univers vise à la propagation de vie et à la déclaration de Fred Hoyle que "Notre planète convient parfaitement à l'incubation de vie," et qu' "il semble comme si quelque surveillant a été monkeying avec la physique."
Dans ce cas, c'est ce qui fait que la liberté humaine est si limitée ? L'homme est enfermé dans "le gros plan" qui le prive de signification. Dans notre livre. Nous jetons un coup d'oeil de nouveau à quelque chose de la preuve que l'homme devrait avoir existé plus loin dans le passé que ce que la science le supposes -tel comme un clou de fer incorporé dans un morceau de charbon plusieurs millions d'années et la dent d'un mastodonte gravée avec une bête cornue, qui est venue d'un lit Miocène d'il y a 25 millions d'années.
Nous citons le Gagnant Nobel de Valeur Frederick Soddy, qui a découvert des isotopes, sur "la preuve dont une civilisation complètement inconnue et non soupçonnée toutes les autres reliques ont disparu." Et nous finissons en citant Platon : "ces choses sont beaucoup mieux occupées que nous pouvons probablement imaginer."
