Beca!se like most o" those reading this book< yo!

become the (rime (!rveyor o" the lies that make !(
the A(arty lineB that kee(s the tr!th hidden% This
ed!cation has been so dee(ly ingrained in almost

Beca!se o" this conditioning and training thro!gh
the ed!cational system as well as the entertainment

evidence and "indings that don:t "it neatly into the

intellect!al boxes o" dishonesty%
The Ti-e o. /han0e Is At 1an2

This is not that hard to (rove< either%
By sim(ly looking at the r!ins o" the (ast< a (erson
F!ickly discovers that the ancients constr!cted
architect!re that was so acc!rately (ositioned to
Gstellar and (lanetary coordinatesG that only
recently has modern science and com(!ter
technology been able to "athom the relevance o"
s!ch (ositioning% ='ndeed< some ancient
constr!ctions a((ear to have (ositioning that
modern science does not yet !nderstand%?
How the ancients were able to gain s!ch
knowledge with cr!de tools and the marginal math
today:s archeologists claim they had is im(ossible
to ex(lain% 5hen not ignoring and denying< today:s
Gmodern sciencesG develo( very (athetic
ex(lanations and theories% Cet these remain as
A"actsB beca!se those scientists and researchers
seldom dare to s!ggest otherwise< less they "ind
their careers at an end%
Perha(s the most startling thing abo!t the ancient
wisdom and !nderstanding which yo!:ll be looking
at thro!gho!t this book is that the calc!lations and
knowledge behind them was< as is the case today<
de(endent on com(!ters "or s!ch com(!tations%
'nstead< it seems entirely (ossible =indeed (robably
since instr!mentation that wo!ld (ermit s!ch
calc!lations has never been "o!nd? the work was
done in the heads o" those creating the mon!ments
and machinery%
The conventional view o" ancient (eo(les is that
they are d!mb br!tes% And the "arther back in time
yo! go< the d!mber they m!st be "or the sim(le
AreasonB that h!man kind is s!((osed to be
evolving into a better< wiser beast% Cet as yo!:ll
see< the exact o((osite may have taken (lace%
Beca!se hidden in the tr!th is the "act that giants
not only existed< they most likely r!led and
controlled lesser men d!e to both their (hysical as
well as their mental s!(eriority%
Think abo!t this) The skeletal remains o"
individ!als !( to -2 "eet in height doesn:t mean
that giants were sim(ly big% 't also means that they
were also smarter% Beca!se with sk!lls =o" which
there are exam(les "rom #o!th America and
elsewhere? with three to six times the cranial mass
o" modern day h!mans< those ancient beings m!st
have had mental abilities that wo!ld make ,instein
seem retarded by com(arison%
However< ancient (eo(le and giants aren:t the only
ones who created the arti"acts and mon!ments o"
the (ast% Beca!se< as ' will show later in this book<
there is concl!sive evidence that many o" these
ancient arti"acts were most likely made by non+
h!man technology and hands%
4" co!rse s!ch things don:t "it neatly into modern
thinking that today:s c!lt!re is the (innacle o"
mental (rowess< or that today:s technologies are
s!(erior to those o" the (ast% Th!s they are denied
and those who consider s!ch (ossibilities F!ickly
la!ghed o!t o" the hall in which they (resent their
"acts%
Cet the tr!th remains) Those legends< myths< and
oral traditions may not be so "ar "etched as yo!
have been ta!ght< and even wo!ld (re"er to think%
'n "act they may have at least n!ggets o" tr!th in
them% That tr!th (oints back to a (eriod o" time in
the dateless (ast when great civili/ations "lo!rished
with scienti"ic and engineering achievements
=which still challenge modern intellects? were the
norm%
' don:t want yo! to @!st take my word on this > it

to the lies that have been given as tr!th over the
li"etime o" a reader< it is essential that the G@!ryG
reading the arg!ment do so with an o(en mind%
That said< what yo! read is going to at "irst seem
o!tlandish b!t< as yo! contin!e and the (remise ':m
o""ering becomes "leshed o!t and b!ttressed with
more and more "acts< it will all "it together and
make sense%
#o (lease read tho!ght"!lly and with an o(en mind%
.oing so will reward yo! with the tr!th ' have
gleaned d!ring my st!dies which have
encom(assed several decades%
4!r @o!rney toward discovering the tr!th m!st
begin with the "irst+hand acco!nts o" what
ha((ened% And as yo!:ll see as ' (resent the
archeological evidence< there:s every indication
that these amo!nt to "irst+hand acco!nts o" very
ancient events% #ome o" these have been (assed
down thro!gh myths long distorted by retelling and
oral tradition< while others have come down almost
verbatim "rom the ancients% 5hile ':ve examined
all these so!rces< ' have been care"!l to concentrate
on the most acc!rate acco!nts "irst and then work
my way back thro!gh those that are less acc!rate<
b!t still contain gems o" tr!th hidden in the o"ten
distorted story line%
The most acc!rate o" these so!rces can be "o!nd in
the books that have been canoni/ed into today:s
Bible% The reason "or this acc!racy is im(ortant to
note as ' start detailing the vario!s cl!es that can be
(ieced together% 5here ancient writers o" Greek
myths< "or exam(le< "reely embellished and crated
new "eat!res in any given story< the Bible was
handed down "rom ancient times in a very di""erent
way%
The scribes co(ying the vario!s books o" the 4ld
and New Testament did so with strict s!(ervision
and care"!l checking by the scribe as well as those
working with him to avoid errors% 5here many
c!lt!res rewarded the embellishment o" stories< the
ewish writers worked in the o((osite direction)
The stories were never to be altered even by
(!nct!ation% Not the (roverbial G@ot or tittleG were
changed< added< or deleted%
This extreme care to avoid altering the text means
that these books have come thro!gh time to the
(resent age almost exactly as they were when "irst
(enned% And one can ass!me that the oral traditions
in which some o" the older stories were "irst seen
and handed down were likewise care"!lly recited
and memori/ed to avoid any changes o" the story%
This means that the Bible is a key so!rce o" detail
that can:t be "o!nd anywhere else% Hor this reason<
it is the (er"ect (lace to begin the @o!rney into the
(ast to discover the tr!e history and to see what
really has lead to this (resent age%
In the ;e0innin0
The very "irst verses o" the Bible give key cl!es
that will become more and more im(ortant as this
book !n"olds and will bring into shar( "oc!s what
has ha((ened thro!gh the ,arth:s history as well as
the h!man history that has com(rised the last six
tho!sand years%
Co! read that right% As ':ll show later< all the
evidence (oints to the "act that the ,arth is m!ch
older than many conservative Christians who have
embraced the yo!ng ,arth theory wo!ld hold% 't
also shows that while h!man civili/ation only
extends back abo!t 2<888 years and that be"ore that
time< there was a vastly older and more develo(ed
(lanet that has a history which ex(anded back "rom
the 2<888 years d!ring which modern man and his
ancestors have existed%
Perha(s the big s!r(rise here is that it is (ossible to
deci(her this "rom the "irst "ew verses o" the Bible
provided a (erson act!ally sees what the original
Hebrew lang!age conveys to the reader%
9n"ort!nately most readers o" the Genesis acco!nt
o" creation read it in a native tong!e other than
Hebrew< and beca!se o" the im(recision and
di""erences in lang!ages< s!ch translations lose
m!ch o" their meaning and even allow "or slight
misinter(retations%
'n this case< reading the (assage only in the ,nglish
translation ca!ses s!ch con"!sion can all be
obsc!re the tr!th o" this (lanet:s (ast%
Hor starters yo! need to reali/e that when God went
thro!gh the creation ste(s o!tlined in Genesis< they
were a minor !ndertaking% Creation "or h!man
beings is a com(licated and o"ten agoni/ingly
"r!strating (rocess% Hor the Heavenly Hather< it is a
sim(le task%
Th!s the writers o" the Bible in the words they
select to tell abo!t God "orming the world and
!niverse< describe the labor as an almost cas!al
o(eration< a light bit o" work% Hor exam(le<
Hebrews &&)- makes (er"ect sense in this context
when the writer tells that<
Th,o70h .aith 6e 7n2e,stan2 that the
6o,l2s 6e,e .,a-e2 b< the 6o,2 o. Go2'
so that thin0s 6hich a,e seen 6e,e not
-a2e o. thin0s 6hich 2o appea,5
'n other words< God sim(ly s(oke and worlds were
created% This also all!des to the G5ord o" GodG that
ohn wrote abo!t in his gos(el as well as the
destroying sword that comes o!t o" the mo!th o"
the ret!rning ;essiah at the end o" the Great
Trib!lation% This again (resents the idea both o"
creation thro!gh arranging materials as well as the
idea o" a car(enter at work%
5hile it seems likely that this creation involved a
change o" s(irit!al things into (hysical< it once
again isn:t a matter o" making something "rom
nothing% 5hen one contin!es to read the Hebrews
(assage< it also is "o!nd that Gthings which are seen
were not made o" things which do a((ear%G 'n other
words the idea (resented is that the worlds weren:t
created "rom nothingness< b!t rather "rom things
which can not be seen) 'mmaterial "orces< (erha(s
energy or "orces o" which most o" mankind has no
inkling%
;a,a
Let:s see how all this a((lies to the Genesis
acco!nt% 'n the "irst verses o" the Bible< the idea o"
creation is conveyed by the verb bara% This Hebrew
word means to create< c!t down< or dis(atch% The
overall "eel is that o" working with wood =an
analogy that was !ndo!btedly (!r(ose"!l since
wood also re(resents mankind in many Biblical
(assages > with the "act that es!s was a car(enter
"ollowing this logic?%
The Hebrew word bara also shows that God:s
creation o" the world wasn:t the work o" creating it
"rom nothing =as is o"ten the mistaken notion
(eo(le have?E it connotes cra"ting an ob@ect into a
"inished "orm% The ease that is conveyed in the
(rocess o" creating the !niverse is !n"ort!nately<
also lost in the translation into ,nglish% Bara
s!ggests light workE this is re"lected in Psalms 6)-
where the writer< (raying to God< says<
=hen I consi2e, th< hea4ens' the 6o,k o.
th< .in0e,s' the -oon an2 the sta,s'
6hich tho7 hast o,2aine2>
Notice that this (assage tells that the heavens are
works o" God:s "ingers% The im(lication here is that
the work was done sim(ly by moving @!st his
"ingers< with hardly any e""ort at all% 'n an age
when men (ride themselves in what they create >
"rom matter at that > it isn:t hard to imagine how
"oolish the most creative o" artists or scientists o"
today:s c!lt!re might a((ear to the living God with
s!ch ca(abilities%
;e0innin0
't sho!ld also be noted that what is translated into
,nglish as Gthe beginningG in Genesis & is the
Hebrew word reshiyth which denotes the "irst in a
series o" things or the "irst or (rinci(le thing% Th!s<
there isn:t a s(eci"ic starting o" the heavens and the
,arth< b!t a statement that they were (art o" the
beginning (eriod be"ore the creation story that
comes in s!bseF!ent verses% 'n other words< Gin the
beginningG really is closer to being a Gbig inningG
than @!st the (oint at which things started% 't tells
that God made the heavens and the ,arth< b!t
doesn:t give an inkling as to when or how%
This idea is bolstered by the "act that when Hebrew
writers wanted to note the act!al beginning o" a
time< as the time o" day or week when a harvest
commenced "or exam(le< the word em(loyed was
most o"ten techillah% This word connotes an
o(ening or commencement% And this (assage
avoids the !se o" this word% Techillah wasn:t the
word ;oses chose to tell abo!t the beginning o" the
heavens and the ,arth% 'n other works< this o(ening
(assage o" the Bible isn:t necessarily telling abo!t
the start o" things as is o"ten tho!ght b!t rather
denotes that a (eriod took (lace d!ring which that
"irst state o" being took (lace and d!ring which
God created the heavens and the ,arth%
This may seem like hair+s(litting% B!t it has
im(ortant rami"ications< beca!se it (oints to the
idea that other events may have taken (lace be"ore
or d!ring this beginning (eriod< (erha(s even
o!tside the realm o" time and s(ace as most (eo(le
know them% G'n the beginningG was a (eriod
di""erent "rom the s!bseF!ent events that come
a"terward in the rest o" the Bible and may very well
s(an a (eriod o" time many times longer than the
time man has been on the ,arth%
The mind+boggling com(lexity o" this sit!ation is
re"lected in the (henomenal logic o" the beginning
in the Gos(el o" ohn)
In the be0innin0 6as the =o,2' an2 the
=o,2 6as 6ith Go2' an2 the =o,2 6as

The (arallels between these two views are
interesting% B!t what abo!t the GbeginningG !sed by
ohnD Being in the Greek< it (resents a good
o((ort!nity to see how the New Testament writers
viewed the idea o" the "irst verse o" Genesis as
well% How does the Greek word ohn chose "or
GbeginningG com(are to that o" the HebrewD
The word chosen was arche% As can be seen< this is
the same word that GarchG comes "rom and
indicates not sim(ly a beginning b!t a chie" (eriod
o" time< with the idea o" a r!ler:s s(an o" (ower
behind it as well% ohn:s G'n the beginningG also
conveys the idea o" a (eriod o" time< not the
commencement or creation o" things%
The word translated into ,nglish as GmadeG in this
(assage is ginomai% This word conveys the idea o"
ca!sing something to become something else or to
assemble something into a whole% #o< here again
the idea is not o" God =thro!gh es!s Christ?
creating the !niverse "rom nothing b!t rather
assembling and "orming it into a whole< m!ch as a
(otter might "orm a (ot or a car(enter "rame and
b!ild a ho!se%
A similar idea o" the !niverse was conveyed by the
ancient Greeks% Their word cosmos which is o"ten
translated to mean GworldG or even !niverse<
act!ally s!ggests a creation that is "abricated "rom
other materials< becoming (olished or adorned as it
is "ashionedE the word doesn:t s!ggest something
created "rom scratch%
4nly d!ring recent times has the notion that the
Genesis (assage here re"ers to the creation o" the
,arth "rom nothing ca!ght on among theologians%
/os-os to /haos
5ith the reali/ation that God created the heavens
and ,arth almost e""ortlessly and that verse one and
two o" the "irst cha(ter o" the Bible aren:t
connected closely in time comes another revelation
when the Hebrew wording o" verse * is ex(lored%
'n the ,nglish translation< the tiny Hebrew word
waw is translated GandG% 'n the ,nglish translation<
verse two starts o!t as i" it has been co!(led to
verse one) GAnd the ,arth was witho!t "orm and
voidJG
However< waw doesn:t necessarily always mean
Gand%G 't can also mean Gb!t%G The GandG was
chosen sim(ly beca!se the translators "elt it "it well
there when reading it in the context o" the two
verses going together%
5hat ha((ens i" the translators were wrongD
5hen yo! s!bstit!te Gb!tG in the (assage< a
di""erent (ossibility can be seen% '" the "irst verse
marks a (eriod d!ring which the heavens and the
,arth were created< and the second verse marks a
second (eriod< then the reading o" that second verse
as GB!t the ,arth was witho!t "orm or void<G takes
on a di""erent meaning%
This alternate reader with Gb!tG s!ggests that even
tho!gh God had created the heavens and the ,arth
in a (er"ect "orm d!ring the (revio!s (eriod =as
described in verse one?< an event took (lace be"ore
verse * that has ca!sed the world to become
chaotic% 't can then be seen that something has
changed< and that while this is a beginning "or the
saga o" mankind< there was in every likelihood a
(revio!s existence o" some sort%
5hat came be"ore the Gin the beginningG thenD 's it
(ossible to deci(her what was be"ore the "irst
verses o" the BibleD
'n tr!th the answers to both are there to be "o!nd%
B!t "irst it is necessary to dissect this "irst verse a
bit more%
In the ;e0innin0?

does Gin the beginningG meanD 'n the ,nglish
