Alien Space Gods Of Ancient Greece and Rome (12 page)

Regression from civilisation to savagery contradicts the theory of slow but sure evolution, although in Central Africa it would appear that we today are actually witnessing the degeneration of once-hopeful societies; rule by Spacemen infers that Men mastering super-science not only live on other worlds but in far Antiquity dominated Earth, a hypothesis our scientists seldom consider. The Golden Age is scoffed at as some ancient Utopia, nostalgia for those 'Good Old Days' which never existed, the dream of romantic poets and glib politicians; our Socialists promise a Golden Age tomorrow - or the day after.

Were the Dynasties of the Gods and the Golden Age sung by Hesiod and Ovid restricted solely to Greece, they might be dismissed as local legends; if, as these writers affirm, their sway was world-wide, then independent confirmation should come from countries of which the Greeks had little knowledge. The Divine Dynasties of Uranus-Cronus-Zeus in Greece were chronicled in India as Varuna-Indra-Dyaus, in Babylon as Anu-Enlil-Marduk, in Israel as God-Yahweh -Jehovah, in Iran as Vaya-Ahuramazda-Mithra, in Phoenicia as God-El-Baal, among the Hittites as Anu- Kumarbi-Tcshubi, in Egypt possibly by Atum-Osiris- Horus and in Mexico by Ometeotl-Quetzalcoatl-Huitzilop- ochtli. All over the world myths, though sadly confused, appear to agree that Earth was ruled by three distinct and separate races of Celestials apparently confirming the same three Divine Dynasties in the same epoch remembered everywhere by different names!

Our complementary studies of Spacemen in the Ancient East disclose an Age of Wonder and Wars long ago narrated in ancient Eastern literature without any reference to the myths of Greece, Indra, the War God of India, attended by his warrior Maruts in their golden cars, overwhelmed Varuna and waged war with the giant Asuras, destroying their cities with thunderbolts like nuclear-bombs; later he was supplanted by Dyaus and exiled. Cronus usurped Ouranos and fought the Titans, then was defeated by Zeus and imprisoned in
Britain
. Those wonderful epics, the 'Ramayana' and the 'Mahabharata' both mention the influence of Indra on Rama and Arjuna, brilliant descriptions of exotic Court life, wars in earth and sky with fantastic weapons, suggest these fascinating scenes depict those fabulous days in prehistoric
India
during the Golden Age. Sanskrit tales such as the 'Brihat Katha’ the 'Harscha Charita' and the 'Panchatantra' tell sparkling romances of Celestials wenching and warring in that vivacious civilisation beyond the
Himalayas
, unequalled until the Italian Renaissance. Rama and his descendants ruled India for eleven thousand years, analogous to Divine Dynasties in Tibet, whose first King Shipuye was followed by Seven Heavenly Khri (Thrones) and Two Upper Teng (High Ones), Six Middle Legs (Good Ones), Eight Earthly De (Worldly Monarchs) and Four Lower Tsan (Mighty Kings); folk-lore like 'Gesar of Ling' describes fantastic wars against evil Demons with all the wizardry of those conflicts between Cronus and Zeus.

The Chinese Classic 'Huai-nan-tzu' (Chapter 8) rhapsodises over an idyllic age, when men and animals lived in peace and beauty amid a benevolent climate, injury and crime were unknown, a state of perfection described almost word for word like Hesiod's own account of the Golden Age. The 'Spirits' frequently descended to teach men wisdom but mankind degenerated to wickedness. The 'Shoo-King' (4th part. Chap. XXVII) describes how the Lord Chang-ty (a King of the Divine Dynasty) instructed Chang and Lhy to sever communication between Heaven and Earth. Chinese legends gloat in horrific details of tremendous aerial battles between fire-breathing dragons symbolising Spaceships waged with death-rays and lightning-darts shriveling the cities of Earth to ash.

Stone reliefs on the Wu-Lieng shrines about AD 150 depict the Celestials Fu-hsi and his Consort, Nu-kwa, with human bodies merging into serpents' tails intertwined together; serpents or dragons were associated with Wise Teachers from Space. When the world was convulsed with fire and flood and monsters devoured the stricken people Nu-kwa brought universal peace, the 'Feng-su-tung-yi' describes Nu-kwa as creating men from yellow earth. The 'Lung-heng' or 'Critical Essays' of Weng Ch'ung, first century AD, mentioned a cosmic war between the legendary King Chuan-hai about 2500 BC with King-kung, a human rebel, later described as a horned monster with serpent's body; enraged by failure, King-Kung crashed into Mount Pu-chan in the North-West smashing this pillar of heaven to change the orientation between earth and sky. Some legends state that the hero Yu 'came down from on high' on a winged dragon to rebuild civilisation after the great floods, suggesting a Spaceman. Yu is said to have held a great assembly on a mountain; this Celestial visited the peoples of most of the world; at his command two officials measured the Earth and found it to be a perfect square roughly 77,833 miles and 75 paces on each side, hardly the precision expected from Spacemen. - All the Emperors of
China
believed themselves to be descendants of the race of Divine Kings who according to the manuscript 'Tchi’ ruled for 18,000 years.

The Mikados of Japan claim direct descent from Amater- asu, Goddess of the Sun. The 'Kojiki' and 'Nihongi' delight with Celestial Divinities Izanagi and Izanami descending in a Heavenly Rocking-Boat to the cherry-blossom islands of Japan; the diverting quarrel between Amatcrasu and her boisterous brother, Susanowo, seems a polite reference to War in Space. A wall-painting in a Chip San tomb shows an ancient Japanese King welcoming Seven Sun Discs, terra-cotta figurines called Jomon Dogus resemble the famous Martian of the Tassili rock-paintings and suggest Oannes the Being who taught civilisation to Babylon.

The Ancient Egyptians believed in the 'First Time', when Ra, the greatest of all the Gods, ruled the Lands of the
Nile
; in this Golden Age of universal peace and beauty, the Gods and Goddesses governed
Egypt
in the same manner as the Pharaohs with whom they were more or less acquainted. Osiris taught the Egyptians civilisation then journeyed to many lands to civilise other people, suggesting a world-wide culture; after his murder by Set, his son, Horus, waged war in Earth and Sky against Set flying a winged Sun-disc or Spaceship, aided by magic weapons from Thoth, possibly a Spaceman. Hathor once took the Divine Eye (a Spacecraft?) and devastated the Earth, presumably confirming the cosmic War of the Greek Classics.

The Egyptian ‘
The Book of the Dead'
teems with references to the 'Shining Ones', the 'Spirits of Light' who fight the 'Sons of Darkness' with magical light-beams and annihilating rays evoking the fantastic conflict in the skies of Old India and
China
. When the Divine Dynasties were followed by human Kings, each Pharaoh imagined himself as the Son of Ra and regarded his mother's husband as his father in name only. For thousands of years the divinity of Pharaoh, the God-King, was the fundamental creed governing every aspect of Egyptian life; all the Egyptians believed their divinely-born Pharaoh to be physically perfect transcending their mortal selves; somewhat embarrassing for Pharaoh since he was obliged to relieve himself in secret.

Manetho in his 'Aegyptica' slates that the first God-King was Hephaestus, succeeded by his son, Helios or Ra (Sun God) then Cronus, Osiris, Typhon (Set) and Horus; after the Gods came the Demi-Gods, Kings and Spirits of the Dead (Spacemen?) in periods totaling 26,000 years. Simplicius in the sixth century AD wrote that the Egyptians kept astronomical observations for 630,000 years, Diogenes Laertius mentioned 48,865 years. Panodorus, an Egyptian Monk, stated that the Egregori (Watchers or Angels) descended to Earth, Syncellus quoted Egyptian tablets called 'The Old Chronicles' declaring that Helios (Ra) ruled for three myriads of years; Berossus detailed six Dynasties of Gods. Egyptian Priests told Herodotus that after Heracles and other Gods, there were three hundred and forty-one generations of Kings ruling for eleven thousand and three hundred years.

The Priests of Sais described to Solon how
Egypt
was threatened by the Atlanteans twelve thousand years ago. Herodotus records the startling revelation by the Egyptian Priests that 'the sun had removed from his proper course four times and had risen where he now setteth, and set where he now riseth', confirming cataclysms mentioned by the Hindus and the Chinese, also the degenerating Ages of Mankind described by Hesiod. If the Gods ruled
Egypt
, they would surely rule not only
Greece
a few hundred miles away but all the
Middle East
.

The Sumerians believed in a Golden Age when Earth was ruled by Gods, then Heroes and superhuman Kings. The Sumerian King List mentions eight antediluvian Kings reigning 241,000 years, confirmed by similar Persian traditions teaching that before Adam the world was ruled by wicked Atlantean Giants then by beneficent Peris, Sons of Wisdom, possibly Spacemen. Proclus in
Timaeus Book 1
, states that the Assyrians preserved memorials of Kings for 270,000 years. A cryptic text in Babylonian and "Assyrian from the Library of Assurbanipal describes how Etana, one of the first Kings after the Flood, was carried to heaven by an eagle; another version is interpreted as revealing that King Etana was transported to the Moon, Mars and Venus in a Spaceship then returned to his palace. Bcrossus describes Oannes, a Being with a body like a fish but human feet, having beneath a fish's head, a human head, presumably signifying a Celestial in a space-suit, who taught the early Babylonians agriculture, science, letters and art; he was followed by 'semi-daemons' called Annedotus, Evadocus, Evengamcs, Ennebalus and Anementus, possibly Space-Teachers.

The Gods, Anu, Enlil and Merodach (Marduk) probably paralleled the Space Kings known to the Greeks as Ouranos, Cronus and Zeus; Merodach like Zeus fought a Sky Monster. The Genesis story of Babel when the Giants tried to storm Heaven is not mentioned in any Babylonian tablet extant to us, it may refer to the War between Zeus and the Titan, Prometheus. Those wonderful poems in Sumerian telling of Ishtar's love for the murdered Tammuz recall the Egyptian legend of Osiris and Isis, also the plaintive Greek myth of Aphrodite mourning slain Adonis; the adventures of Gilgamesh which enchanted Babylon resemble the exploits of Kret of Ugarit and the wanderings of Ulysses, suggesting common origin, perhaps that ancient civilisation was ruled by the Space Kings.

Canaan (as Syria and Palestine were then known) was a land-bridge between Africa, Europe and Asia, a focal point between Minoan Crete, Greece, the Hittites in Anatolia, Egypt, Babylon and India far beyond. The discovery in 1929 at Ras Shamra in
Syria
of texts in Ugaritic script reveal astonishing similarities between early Greek and early Hebrew literature, having affinities with the cultures of
Egypt
and
Babylon
, which for many centuries influenced the whole
Levant
; intriguing parallels could be traced to the Sanskrit epics of
India
. Adam alone in the Garden of Eden seems symbolism for the men of Hesiod's Golden Age, who lived in an earthly paradise without wives or daughters; the 'Talmud' states that Adam was married to Lilith, a 'demoness', possibly a Spacewoman. The Creation of Eve, the 'Lord's' expulsion of Adam and Eve from
Eden
to a harsh world probably parallels the decline to the Silver Age.

'Genesis', Chapter 111, v 24 states that the 'Lord' drove out Adam and placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubim with flaming swords; such display of force shows that Adam did not leave Eden peacefully of his own free will. What man today basking in sunshine on perpetual holiday in sweet indolence dallying with a beautiful wife would willingly forsake it all to till the soil with the sweat of his brow?
Reading
between the lines of 'Genesis', Adam feared Eve more than the 'Lord'. This 'Lord' was no intangible 'Spirit' but a powerful Space Being, who had to summon a squadron of Cherubim, winged globes or fiery wheels, to drive Adam from Eden with flaming swords, symbolism for fantastic weapons. The conflict between the 'Lord' and Adam evokes some confused memory of the War between Cronus and Zeus.
