"Physics may be about to face a revolution similar to that which occurred just a century ago. . .

Arthur C. Clarke,

'When Will the Real Space Age Begin?'

If an angel was to tell us about his philosophy. . .

many of his statements might well sound like 2x2 = 13"

LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

"Subatomic particles had no meaning as isolated entities but could only be understood in their relationships. The world; at its most basic, existed as a complex web of interdependent relationships, forever indivisible.
Perhaps the most essential ingredient of this inter­connected universe was the living consciousness that observed iL In classical physics, the experimenter was considerecfooa separate entity, a silent observer behind glass, attempting to understand a universe that carried on, whether he or she was observing it or not. In quantum physics, however, it was, discovered, the state of all possibilities of any. quantum particle collapsed into a set entity as soon as it was observed or if measurement taken. To explain these strange events, quantum physicists had postulated that a participatory relationship existed between observer and-observed - these particles could only be considered as 'probably' existing in space and time until they were 'perturbed', and the act of observing 'and measuring them forced them into a set state - an act akin to solidifying jelly. This astounding observation also had shattering implications about the nature of reality. It suggested that the consciousnessof the observer brought the observed object intb being. Nothing in the universe existed as an actual 'thing' independently of our perception of it. Every minute of every day we were creating our world."

MICROCOSMIC GOD

and other stories

Edited by Sam Moskowitz 1965

THE ENCHANTED VILLAGE

A.E Van Vogt 1950

Page 79

"He stopped, and snapped his fingers as a wild but nevertheless plausible notion entered his mind. Could this be music?
He toyed with the idea, trying to visualize the village as it had been long ago. Here, a music-loving race had possibly gone about its daily tasks to the accompaniment of what was to them beautiful strains of melody.
The hideous whistling went on and on, waxing and waning. Jenner tried to put buildings between himself and the sound. He sought refuge in various rooms, hoping that at least one would be sound::proof. None were. The whistle followed him wherever he went ­
He retreated into the desert, and had to climb halfway up one of the slopes before the noise was low enough not to dis­turb him, Finally, breathless but immeasurably relieved, he sank down on the sand, and thought blankly:
What now?
The scene that appeared before him had in it qualities of both heaven and hell. It was all too familiar now-the red sands, the stony dunes, the small, alien village promising so much and fulfilling so little.
Jenner looked down at it with his feverish eyes, and ran his parched tongue over ,his cracked, dry lips. He knew that he
was a dead man unless- he could alter the automatic food­making machines that must be hidden somewhere in the walls and under the floors of the buildings.
In ancient days, a remnant of Martian civilization had survived here in this village. The inhabitants had died off but the village lived on, keeping itself clean of sand, able to provide refuge for any Martian who might come along. But there were no Martians. There was only Bill Jenner, pilot of the first rocketship ever to land on Mars.
He had to make the village turn out food and drink that he could take. Without tools, except his hands; with scarcely any knowledge of chemistry, he must force it to change its habits.
Tensely, he hefted his water bag. He took another sip, and fought the same grim fight to prevent himself from guzzling it down to the last drop. And, when he had won the battle once more, he stood up and started down the slope.
He could last, he estimated, not more than three days. In that time, he must conquer the village.
He was already among the trees when it suddenly struck him that the "music" had stopped. Relieved, he bent over a small shrub, took a good, firm hold of it-and pulled.

Page 80

It came up easily, and there was a slab of marble attached to it. Jenner stared at it, noting with surprise that he had been mistaken in thinking the stalk came up through a hole in the marble. It was merely stuck to the surface. Then he noticed something else-the shrub had no roots. Almost instinctively, Jenner looked down at the spot from which he had torn the slab of marble along with the plant. There was sand there.
He dropped the shrub, slipped to his knees, and plunged his fingers into the sand. Loose sand trickled through them. He reached deep, using all his strength to force his arm and hand down-sand-nothing but sand.
He stood up, and frantically tore up another shrub. It also came easily, bringing with it a slab of marble. It had no roots, and where it had been was sand.
With a kind of mindless disbelief, Jenner rushed over to a fruit tree, and shoved at it. There was a momentary resis­tance, and then the marble on which it stood split, and lifted slowly into the air. The tree fell over with a swish and a crackle as its dry branches and leaves broke and crumbled in a thousand pieces. Underneath where it had been was sand.
Sand everywhere. A city built on sand. Mars, planet of sand. That was not completely true, of course. Seasonal vege­tation had been observed near the polar icecaps. All but the hardiest of it died with the coming of summer. It had been intended that the rocketship land near one of those shallow, tideless seas.
By coming down out of control, the ship had wrecked more than itself. It had wrecked the chances for life of the only survivor of the voyage.
Jnner came slowly out of his daze. He had a thought then. He picked up one of the shrubs he had already torn loose, braced his foot against the marble to which it was at­tached and tugged, gently at first, then with increasing strength.
It came loose finally, but there was no doubt that the two were part of a whole. The shrub was growing out of the marble.
Marble? Jenner knelt beside one of the holes from which he had torn a slab, and bent over an adjoining section. It was quite porous-calciferous rock, most likely, but not true marble at all. As he reached toward it, intending to break off a piece, it changed color. Astounded, Jenner drew back. / Page 81 / Around the break, the stone was turning a bright orange-yellow. He studied it uncertainly, then tentatively he touched it.
lt was as if he had dipped his fingers into searing acid. There was a sharp, biting, burning pain. With a gasp, Jenner jerked his hand clear.
The continuing anguish made him feel faint. He swayed and moaned, clutching the bruised members to his body. When the agony finally faded, and he could look at the injury, he saw that the skin had peeled, and that already blood blisters had formed. Grimly Jenner looked down at the break in the stone. The edges remained bright orange-yellow.
The village was alert, ready to defend itself from further attacks.
Suddenly weary, he crawled into the shade of a tree. There was only one possible conclusion to draw from what had happened,- and it almost defied common sense. This lonely village was alive.
As he lay there, Jenner tried to imagine a great mass of livmg substance growing into the shape of buildings, adjusting itself to suit another life form, accepting the role of servant in the widest meaning of the term.
If it would serve one race,why not another? If it could adjjust to Martians, why not to human beings-?
There would be difficulties, of course. He guessed wearily that essential elements would not be available. The oxygen could come from the air . . . thousands of com pounds could be made from sand. . . though it meant death if he failed to find a solution, he fell asleep even as he started to think about what they might be.
When he awoke, it was quite dark. Jenner climbed heavily to his feet. There was a drag to his muscles that alarmed him. He wet his mouth from his water bag, and staggered toward the entrance of the nearest building. Except for the scraping of his shoes on the "marble," the silence was intense.
He stopped short-listened, and looked. The wind had died away. He couldn't see the mountains ,that rimmed the valley, but the buildings were still dimly visible, black shadows in a shadow world.
For the first time, it seemed to him that, in spite of his new hope, it might be better if he died. Even if he survived, what had he to look forward to? Only too well he recalled how hard it had been to rouse interest in the trip, and to raise the large amount of money required. He remembered the colossal problems that had had to be solved in building the ship, / Page 82 / and some of the men who had solved them were buried somewhere in the Martian desert.
It might be twenty years before another ship from Earth would try to reach the only other planet in the solar system that had shown signs of being able to support life.
During those uncountable days and nights, those years, he would be here alone. That was the most he could hope for­if he lived. As he fumbled his way to a dais in one of the rooms, lenner considered another problem:
How did one let a living village know that it must alter its processes? In a way, it must already have grasped that it had a new tenant. How could he make it realize he needed food in a different chemical combination than that which it had served in the past; that he liked music, but on a different, scale system; and that he could use a shower each morning-of water, not of poison gas?
He dozed fitfully, like a man who is sick rather than sleepy. Twice, he wakened, his lips on fire, his eyes burning, his body bathed in perspiration. Several times he was startled into consciousness by the sound of his own harsh voice crying out in anger and fear at the night.
He guessed, then, that he was dying.

He spent the long hours of darkness tossing, tuming twist ing, befuddled by waves of heat. As the light;of mormng came, he was vaguely surprised to realize that he was still alive. Restlessly, he climbed off the dais, and went to the door.
A bitingly cold wind blew, but it felt good to his hot face. He wondered if there was enough pneumococcus in his blood for him to catch pneumonia. He decided not.
In a few moments he was shivering. He retreated back into the house, and for the first time noticed that, despite tfie doorless doorway, the wind did not come into the building at all. The rooms were cold, but not draughty.
That started an association: Where had this terrible body heat come from? He teetered over to the dais where he had spent the night. Within seconds, he was sweltering in a temperature of about a hundred and thirty.
He climbed off the dais, shaken by .his own stupidity. He estimated that he had sweated at least two quarts of moisture out of his dried-up body on that furnace of a bed.
This village was not for human beings. Here, even the beds / Page 83 / were heated for creatures who needed temperatures far beyond the heat comfortable for men.
Jenner spent most of the day in the shade of a large tree. He felt exhausted, and only occasionally did he even remember that he had a problem. When the whistling started, it bothered him at first, but he was too tired to move away from it. There were long periods when he hardly heard it, so dulled were his senses.
Late in the afternoon, he remembered the shrubs and the tree he had torn up the day before, and wondered what had happened to them. He wet his swollen tongue with the last few drops of water in his bag, climbed lackadaisically to his feet, and went to look for the dried-up remains.
There weren't any. He couldn't even find the holes where he had torn them out. The living village had absorbed the dead tissue into itself, ancl-repaired the breaks in its "body."
That galvanizecl Jenner. He began to think again. . . about mutations, genetic readjustments, life forms adapting to new"environments. There'd been lectures on that before the ship left Earth, rather generalized talks designed to acquaint the explorers with the problems men might face on an alien planet. The important principle was quite simple: Adjust or die."

 

 

THE GOD MAKERS

Executive Touch


"The radiation vault had been turned into a very appealing Executive Suite. Jack Wilkins sat upright on the hospital bed. Papers were scattered about,- evidence that the President was back to work already. He nodded gravely at Patrick Honor and said, "I wanted to personally thank you, Pat, for your remarkable if, uh, unorthodox suggestion. They tell me that I was down for the final count. How much longer must I remain sealed up in here?"
Honor had expected the direct approach; Jack Wilkins operated in that fashion. "I believe Wenssler gave us the clue to that answer, Mr President."
Wilkins' eyebrows formed sharp vees. "June 15th?" Honor nodded. "Yes sir, that would be my recom mendation. "
"What's going on, Pat? What does the shielding have to do with my recovery?"
Honor looked uncomfortably at Milt Clinton. His gaze roamed to the nurse and to the several members of the White House staff who were present. ,"It has been suggested, sir," he replied, "that I not attempt to answer such questions." .
"Suggested by whom?" Wilkins snapped.
Honor rocked gently on the balls of his feet. "It's pretty far-out stuff, Mr. President."
The Presidential gaze went immediately to an aide who stood alongside- the bed. "Mr. Honor and I will speak privately," he commanded. / Page 109 / "I'd like for Mr. Clinton to stay," Honor requested. The aide received an acquiescing nod from the President. The room was already beginning to clear. The aide was the last man out, insistently escorting - the nurse to the corridor outside.
"Sit down, gentlemen," Wilkins said.
Honor took a chair directly opposite the President.
Clinton dropped onto a lounge along the wall. Wilkins was closely scrutinizing Honor. He smiled suddenly
and said, "I understand you're to be 'my son-in-law."
Honor's jaw dropped and he said, "Sir?"
The President chuckled. "Angie has eyes for you, Pat."

"She's a sweet kid," Honor murmured.
"That 'sweet kid,' Pat, has very carefully checked you out. . . marital status, the whole bit. She's decided that you are waiting for her. I'd say you'd better be on your guard. Angie can be a very determined young lady."
Honor realized that the President was trying to ge;t things on a personal, informal footing; He grinned and replied, "Angie's a ray of sun around the executive offices, Mr. President. We're always gald to see her' come in."
"She's been the light of my life, since her mother died," Wilkins mused. "Well... let's get down to cases. Tell me about this 'far out' theory of yours." .
Honor said, "It's not a theory, sir. Maybe it would' be better if you were to ask direct questions. I'll answer them the best I can." ,
Wilkins stared at him for a moment, then flicked a glance to Clinton. "I understand that Curt Wenssler is recovering," he observed quietly. "Did you know Wenssler before his, uh, breakdown?"
Honor shook his head. "No sir."
"I knew him," Wilkins confided. "Since long before / Page 110 / we began funding the PPS program." He sighed. "Let's drop the pussy-footing yik-yak, Pat. I have been in close contact with Wenssler from the very beginning of the program. He has had my unqualified support. Now . .. as I understand it ... you were assigned to the program only yesterday. According to my. information, you have never shown any interest nor predispostion toward the psychic sciences. Suddenly you come on like Blackstone the Magician. I want to know what you've stumbled onto. I want to know what you know, Honor. "
Honor stole a quick look at his chief. "I, uh made contact with Professor Wenssler's protege," he replied slowly. "A Miss Barbara Thompson. You know her?"
Wilkins nodded. "I know of her. Wenssle rhas been her guardian since the death of her father."
"Yes sir. Well. . . I was on the scene when Wenssler transfigured low. Barbara was very-"
Honor doggedly held his ground, though feeling very strong disapproval from the couch behind him. "Professor Wenssler did not have a breakdown, sir. He experienced a transfiguration. But to the low side. Does that make sense to you?"
The President stared silently at Honor through. a long moment of thoughfulness. Then he sighed and said, "Maybe it does, Pat. Go ahead with the story."
Honor continued, "Well, Barbara had been going over some of Wenssler's notes. She thought she had a clue as to what had gone wrong for the Professor. She suggested an experiment, involving the two of us. A psychic experiment. As a result of that experiment, I experienced a sort of breakthrough into the object of Wenssler's research. I, uh, learned many things, Mr.President. "
"Such as?"
"Well. . ." Honor glanced at Clinton. . "I learned that / Page 111 / there are some highly destructive forces loose in this world, Mr. President." .'
"You're speaking of the collective-unconscious." "Sir?"
"Wenssler was , aware of these force. He equated them with Carl Jung's Collective Unconscious. Are you familiar with Jung's work?"
"No sir, not intimately."
"Swiss psychologist, died in 1961. Jung theorized that the subconscious minds of all men everywhere are linked, . that this constitutes a collective-unconscious from which spring all of man's creative expressions. Wenssler hypothesized this Collective Unconscious as the source of psychic power."
Honor looked at Clintonand said. "The Rogue." "What's that?" Wilkins asked quickly.
"We call this mental field 'The Rogue,' sir," Honor replied quietly. .
"Why do you call it that?" .
"Because it is malevolentent its effect on our world. It is, so to speak, in competition with God."
"Then why don't you call it Satan?" Wilkins snapped.
"Others have called it that, also," Honor sighed.
"But it ... is not. .. wilfully evil. Actually, sir, this force is built and sustained by the minds of men."
"What do you mean, it isn't wilfully evil?"
"I mean that.. ." Honor groped for delicate shadings of words. " . . . that it operates through natural law . . . of the 'cause' and effect' variety. Or, 'action and reaction.' Also, it is anti-evolutionary. Especially since man's higher intellect has begun to evolve. You might say that the Rogue is a devolutionist."
"You'll have to explain that one, Honor," the Pres ident said, staring at him intently.
Honor sent a despairing look toward CHnton. "The Rogue pre-dates modern man. By billions of years. He / Page 112 / " was, u,h, an off-shoot of, uh, non-life evolution. His roots are very strongly in the geometric fields of, uh, I mean, uh, he is rooted in the material universe." Honor cleared his throat and explained, "Stars and planets, you know, and-"
"You're saying that the stars. are conscious, you know," the President observed, his interest quickening. "That's really what you're saying."
"Well. . . yes sir. . . of an elemental sort. The earth itself is conscious. The earth is evolving, sir. As is the entire material universe."
The President coughed, looked at the clock, and said, "I believe I can have a smoke now. Will you gentlemen join me in a cigar?"
Both men declined. Honor lit a cigarette. Clinton merely glowered. Honor lit the President's cigar. Wil­kins coughed, glared at the cigar, and said, "Tried to cut me off completely. Say there's still some congestion." He patted his chest. "Smoke's good for my congestion
. '. . tried to tell 'em that." He chewed the. end of the cigar for a moment. "How is the earth conscious?" he. asked suddenly.
"It's energy conscious," Honor replied, surprising himself with the answer. "Energy is a consciousness unto itself. A form of consciousness; I mean. Those who say that consciousness is the only reality are de­luded by this univer~al form, this energy consciousness. It's true that energy is the consciousness of inanimate matter, but it is a very elemental and unevolved con­sciousness. This is the root of the Rogue. This is his field, his natural one. But there was ,a mutation." .
"What sort of mutation?" The President's cigar had gone out.
"God goofed," Honor replied immediately. A pecu­liar expression was forming on his face. "Even the geometer of geometers has free will, and therefore / Page113 / parts free will to all the geometers. A rock has free will." Honor paused and ran a hand through his hair. Clinton's feet scraped the floor in a restless movement. Honor only vaguely heard it. He was sitting stiffly in the chair, as though at attention.
"What sort of mutation?" Wilkins asked again."The mind of man arose and began to dominate his environment. This was the plan, unfolding. This also caused the mutation, caused by the impact of free-will against free-will." Honor took a deep breath and said, "Gods in collision!" He stood, his face in awe and wonderment, and turned to Clinton. "It must be the shielding," he said in shocked tones. "Things are clearer now. The Rogue has been impacting me. Of course! Of course!" ,
Clinton had surged to his feet and taken a step toward Honor. The President caught his eye and sent a silent reprimand. Clinton hesitated, then sat back down.
"It's true that truth returns through the geometers," Honor breathed. "But not spontaneously. It builds the personality. .. and... returns through death. Error rises spontaneously, though, and "builds the personality of the Rogue. That's why. . . yes. . . that's why."
"Go on, Honor," Wilkins prompted quietly. "That's why what?"
"It's why-or how-the Rogue is taking over. Why he's so strong. That's it. Jung was right, Wenssler too.
It is the collection of self-concious error, forever being harvested by the Rogue. . . for God's sake. . . he's not unconscious any longer."
"What do you mean by that?" the President asked.
"He works through the law, sure, inexorable in the action-reaction sense, but he's also a self-conscious entity now. For God's sake, he knows what he's doing!"
'- Honor took a furious drag on his cigarette, spilling a / Page 114 / "long ash on the President's bed, and urgently said, "Mr. President, you have to stay in this vault until your numbers run out!" .
The President was visibly shaken. "Wenssler's nines,"
he murmured.
"Yes sir, and-" .
Clinton had come alive once again. He was at Honor's side and gently tugging him away from the bed. "I'm sorry, Jack," he said tensely. "Pat is still shaken up from that accident this afternoon. He-"
"No no, Milt," Wilkins broke in. "I understand everything he's been saying. Sit down. Let's kick this thing around some. Now, Pat. You said awhile ago that this, uh, Rogue is not willfully evil. Now you're saying that it is self-conscious, and knows what it's doing. That needs some clarification."
"It came to me," Honor said weakly. He glanced about the room. "The shielding. . . Truth comes from within, error from without. The Rogue's error-influence was interfering. with my ... until... well, when I started thinking. . . in here, behind the shielding, things became clearer. Even here I can sense a ... rather . . . fine influence. I suppose it isn't possible to shut him out completely, this side of the geometers. He's sort of omnipresent in his finest form. Yes sir, he is self­conscious and therefore willful . . . but his denser influences have to follow the law. The law of his root being, and this is an energy base. The shielding will protect you during your numbers. After that, the law itself will protect you."
What numbers?" Clinton asked irritably.
"Wenssler's nines," Wilkins said, his brow furrowed'
in thought. "He stumbled onto this ancient mathemati­cal symbology in the Far East. . . seems to think it was the basis for the Cabalistic mysteries. You understand the intriguing aspects of the number nine, don't you?" / Page 115
Clnton shook his head, obviously surprised at the President's reaction to Honor's "babbling."
"Arabic numerals," the President explained, "were not generally adoptd.by the Western world until some­where around the 10th Centruy, or so Wenssler tells me. He found evidence that they are incredibly ancient, however, and. . . well, look here, Milt. There are ten basic digits to the Arabic system, the one we've been using for 'a thousand years or so. These are the numerals 1 through 9, and the zero. The zero is not actually a value, however, standing alone, so it is sa,id that the basic Arabic numerals are the digits 1 through 9. Nine numbers, you see. Now. If you add those nine numbers together, you get a sum of 45. Now. Add the two digits of that sum, the four and the five, and you get a sum of nine. Thus it is said that the reduced sum of all digits is nine. Many of the ancient religious mysteries are resolved around that number. In all the mysteries, this curious property of numbers is regarded as being,
fraught with symbolism.
"Now W enssler was never much of a mathematician, but he stumbled onto something over in the East that shook him, right down to his core. He worked on the thing and came up with the idea that this value of nine symbolizes the very basis of creation itself. And he has done some amazing things with it."
"The blue car," Honor muttered.
Wilkins shot him a sharp glance. "You know about that, eh?"
"I tangled with it," Honor said, smiling glumly.
"Wenssler calls it a 'warp nine projection,' though I haven't the foggiest notion of how it actually works,"
WiIkins said. .
"Geometric displacement," Honor murmured. "How's that?"
"Man manipulates his environment," Honor replied / Page 116 / casually. "You have any idea how many geometers are disturbed by our technologies? Wenssler's mathematics rounds up the displaced geometers and gives them the new field. It's a sort of a matching process. You know the old science-fiction idea of teleportation? Well, Wenssler discovered the principle and learned how to use it, though in a limited sense. It's a matter of geometer alignment into the displaced fields. Pretty simple, really, once you see the principle."
"It's too much for me," Wilkins said,. frowning thoughtfully.
"It was too much for the Rogue, too," Honor re­plied. "This is what got him all stirred up, I'd guess. It seems likely that Wenssler was mating the Rogue's field to the causal field. I can't think of any other way to get a projection warp. It's okay to use the Rogue for simple psychic games, but this was too much."
"Are you saying that Wenssler awakened this; uh, whatever it is?"
Honor shook his head and said, "No, I'd say that the Rogue 'awakened' a very long time ago. But Wenssler very likely focussed his attention. We're in for a lot of hell, make no mistake. All over the world." Honor raised his eyes suddenly, a nerve jumped in his cheek, and he exclaimed, "Oh, hell!"
"What is it?" Wilkins asked. "Another 'revelation'?" "You could call it that." Honor replied shakily.
"There is but one self-conscious God in this geometric field we call the universe."
"What does that mean?" .
"It means that the true God does not realize himself until the job of human evolution is completed." The blood drained.from Honor's face. He leaned dgainst the bed, hands to his cheeks. "Oh God, Hadrin?" he cried. It can't bel"
Wilkins and Clnton exchanged uncomfortable / Page 117 / glances. Honor was not even aware of their presence. He was remembering Hadrin's instruction: "Go, God­maker, and be true to the image." That's the entire story, isn't it, Honor was thinking. Go, Godmaker, and make the true God. The whole thing was in the hands of mankind. Continue evolving into the perfect image of the creator, or else be content with what you've got . . . live in the bosom of the Rogue forever. . . or until the geometers split. But how did one go about making the true God? What could Honor do? Why had he been given this knowledge? What could he do with it?
"Mr. President," he mumbled, "I've got to have some help."
Wilkins placed a hand on Honor's shoulder. "What can I do, Honor?" he asked solemnly.
"Evolve," Honor replied."

SECRETS OF THE LOST RACES

New Discoveries of Advanced Technology in Ancient Civilization

Rene Noorbergen 1977 Researched by Joey R. Jochmans

Page 47

Ooparts-Science in the Raw-?

"The discoveries of the ooparts - witnesses of our most ancient" ­ past - have thus far been accidental. They are remnants of a past we have never fully recognized or believed in. Because we do no totally comprehend the scope of this mysterious pre-Flood civilization, we stand aghast when confronted with the possible relics from such a civilization.
'But where do the cave men fit in?' is a question often encountered when one discusses the greatness of our ancestors. 'We are still climbing the ladder of social evolution,' is another fre­quently heard comment. 'There simply is no place for a super­civilization in our past.' And, shrugging their shoulders at such naivete, the critics retreat to their niches of complacency.
Yet what are they gomg to do with the ooparts? Too many have surfaced over the years for them simply to be ignored.
Let's look at some. of the recorded discoveries. An interesting item appeared in many of the nation's newspapers on 10 April 1967, reporting the discovery of an artifact and human remains at the Rocky Point Mine in Gulman, Colorado. At a depth of 400 feet below the. surface, according to an account in the Saturday Herald of Iowa City, the excavators found human bone embedded in a silver vein. By geological standards, the find was estimated to be several million years old. But in addition to the bones, they uncovered a well-tempered copper arrowhead four inches long. Neither bone nor arrowhead belonged there, accord­ing to our way of thinking, yet there they were - unexplainable and certainly unexpected. The historians and geologists are unable to fit these remains into the theoretical framework of evolution; partly because of this, the find has been conveniently forgotten.
But this strange discovery is not an isolated one. In the June 1851 issue of Scientific American (Vol. 7, p. 298) a report con­cerning a metallic vase that had been dynamited out of solid rock on Meeting House Hill in Dorchester, Massachusehs was reprinted from the Boston Transcript. The story said, 'On putting tae two parts together it formed a bell-shaped vessel, 4t inches high, 6t inches at the base, 2t inches at the top and about an / Page 48 / eighth of an inch in thickness. The body of this vessel resembles zmc in colour, ora composition metal in which there is a considerable portion of silver. On the sides there are six figures of a f1ower, a bouquet, beautifully inlaid with pure silver, and around the lower part of the vessel, a vine, or wreath, inlaid also with silver. The chasing, carving and inlaying are exquisitely done by the art of some cunning craftsman. This curious and unknown vessel was blown out of the solid pudding stone, fifteen feet below the surface.'
Where did it come from?
Neither the geologists nor the archaeologists know, but the rock from which the man-made objet d'art was taken was estimated by them to be at least several million years old. As is the case with many puzzling discoveries, the vase was circulated from museum to museum, and then disappeared. No doubt it is gathering twentieth-century dust somewhere in a curator's dank basement. . .
Precisely forty years later, on 9 June 1891, a somewhat similar find was made by Mrs S. W. Culp of Morrisonville, Illinois. While she was shovelling coal into her kitchen stove, her attention was drawn to one lump of coal which had broken in two, revealing a gold chain of intricate workmanship. The Morrisonvjlle Times of 11 June reported, 'Mrs Culp thought the chain had been dropped accidentally in the coal, but as she undertook to lift the chain up, the idea of its having been recently dropped was shown to be fallacious; for as the lump of coal broke, it separated almost in the middle, and the circular position of the .chain placed the two ends, near to each other; and as the lump separated, the middle of the chain became loosened while each end remained fastened to the coal. . . This is a study for the students of archaeology who love to puzzle their brains out over the geological construction of the Earth from whose ancient depth the curious are always dropping out.'
The:paper's editor really didn't know how to handle this bizarre discovery, but neither did the geologists, for the coal sample was,
supposedly from the Carboniferous period and so was thought to be several million years old.
The Morrisonville chain was in no way unique, for another gold artifact of unknown origin was discovered in 1844 in a quarry near Rutherford Mills, England. On 22 June of that year, work­men blasting granite out of the pit suddenly came upon a gold thread eight feet below the surface, embedded in rock judged by geologists to be sixty million years old. Investigators sent by / Page 49 / the London Times reported that in their opinion the thread had indeed- been of artificial manufacture.
Artifacts of precious metal have not been the only objects unearthed from solid rock. The Springfield (IllinQis) Republican- . stated in 1851- that a businessman named Hiram de Witt had brought back with him from a trip to California a piece of auri- ~
ferous quartz about the size of a man's fist, and while de Witi was showing the rock to a friend, it slipped from his hand and split upon striking the floor. In the centre of the quartz, they discovered a cut-iron six-penny nail, slightly corroded bu~ entirely straight, with a perfect head. The age of the quartz, you wonder? Scientists conclude that it is in excess of a million years !
But this wasn't the first nail discovered. Six years before this find, Sir David Brewster made a report to the British Association
for the Advancement of Science which created quite a stir. A nail obviously of human manufacture had been found half­embedded in a granite block excavated from the Kindgoodie Quarry in Nor.them Britain. It was badly corroded, but identifi­able, none the less. Once again, the granite was determined to be at least sixty million years old.
Still another out-of-place artifact, a two-inch metal screw, was discovered in a piece of feldspar unearthed in 1865 from the Abbey Mine in Treasure City, Nevada. The screw had long since oxidized, but its form, particularly the shape of itS threads, could easily be seen within the feldspar. Here too this discovery played havoc with accepted scientific theories, for how the impression of a two-inch metal screw could be found in something thought to be several million years old clearly perplexed the examiners.

The Salzburg Cube
The out-of-place objects that have been found in the. various rock strata not only reveal evidence of simple metal production, but also indicate that the antediluvians had the ability to shape metal by machines and that they used metal in the construction of complicated machinery.
In 1885, in the foundry of the Austrian Isaqor Braun of Vocklabruck, a block of coal dating from the Tertiary period was broken open. Inside was discovered a small metal cube. Fascinated by this sudden find, Braun's son took the mysterious cube to,the Salzburg Museum, where it was subjected to meticulous examination by the Austrian physicist Karl Gurls.

Page 50

Tests indicated that the cube was composed of a steel. and-nickel aIloy. It measured 2.64 by 2.64 by 1.85 inches, weighed 1.73 pounds, and had a specific gravity of 7.75. The edges.of this strange cube were perfectly straight and sharp; four of its sides
were flat, while the two remaining sides, opposite each other, were -convex. A rather deep groove had been cut an the way around the cube about midway up its-height. There was no doubt that'-the cube was machine-made, and it seemectto be part of a
larger mechanism.
Unfortunately the cube disappeared from the Salzburg Museum in 1910, and during the bombings of the Second World War the museum's inventory files relating to the time period when- the cube was on exhibit (1886-1910) were completely destroyed. However, there is still sufficient evidence to support the authenticity of the find, for an account of its discovery was: published
- in the scientific journals Nature (London, 1886) and L'Astronomie {paris, 1887).

The Coso Artifact ­
Another equally controversial find was made more recent!y; On 13 February 1961, three rock hunters, Mike Mikesell, Wallace Lane and Virginia Maxey, were collecting geodes about six miles north-east of Olancha, California. On this particular day, while searching in the Coso Mountains, they found a stone located near the top of a peak approximately 4300 feet above sea level and about 340 feet-above the dry bed of Owens Lake. The rock­hounds mistakenly identified it as a geode, a round stone with
a hollow interior lined with crystals, though it bore traces of fossil shells. The following day, when Mikesell cut the stone in half, ruining a ten-inch diamond saw in the process, he saw that it contained not crystals but rather something totally unfamiliar. Inside were the remains of some form of mechanical device. Beneath the outer layer of hardened clay, pebbles, and fossil inclusions was a hexagonal layer of an unknown substance softer than agate or jasper. This layer surrounded a three­quarter-inch-wide cylinder made of solid porcelain or ceramic, and in the centre of the cylinder the finders discovered a two­millimetre shaft of bright metal. This shaft, the rock enthusiasts aiscovered, was magnetic and showed no signs of oxidation. Circling the ceramic cylinder were rings of copper, and these also had not corroded.
Not knowing what to do with their unusual find, they sent the / Page 51 / object to the Charles Ford Society, an organization specializing in examining extraordinary things. X-rays taken of the fossil­encrusted rock revealed further evidence that the content of the 'geode' was indeed some form of mechanical apparatus. The photographs indicated that the metallic shaft was corroded at.
one end, but the other end was affixed to a spring or helix of metal. The Coso artifact, as it is now known, is believed to be more than just a piece of machinery. The finely shaped ceramic and metallic shaft and copper components hint at some form of electrical instrument. It bears a close resemblance to a spark plug, but there are certain features - particularly the spring or. helix terminal - that do not correspond to any spark plug known today. To complicate the mystery surrounding this strange little instrument, the geologists tell us that the rock in which it was found has to be at least half a million years old.
The controversy in which these finds are enveloped concerns the dates that have been assigned to them. because of the strata in which they were discovered. There is no doubt that Mrs Culp did find the gold chain in Carboniferous rock, and the discovery of the gold thread in the quarry near Rutherford Mills is also a matter of record, as are Hiram de Witt's iron nail, Sir David Brewster's report, and the metal screw found in the Abbey mine. But there is one vital factor that must not be over­looked: that the dates given for their origin cannot be relied on for accuracy. No conscientious geologist will dare attach any degree of certainty to the various dates given to the different layers of the earth's crust. It is more reasonable to look at the artifacts in the light of Deluge geology, which maintains that the stratified rock is the result of soil laid down 'by water. This signifies that the metal objects encased in the rocks were buried during the Flood, and thus their manufacture would date from before the Deluge. The ooparts certainly set the theories of the geologists against those of the historians, for one group holds stubbornly to the million-year-age theory, and the orthodox historians definitely are unwilling to accept the authenticity of a machine-made cube in a block of coal dating back to the Tertiary period. To them the existence of a highly advanced civilization one hundred million years ago is incredible. This exaggerated
time element must be rejected. Since we acknowledge that coal is a product of vegetation destroyed, compressed and buried by water, the Salzburg cube, found in the so-called Tertiary coal, must therefore date from the pre-Flood period. Because the Coso artifact was found in sedimentary rock, we must conclude that / Page 52 / this too was deposited duringthe great Flood. What makes these artifacts significant to us is that they reveal that the antediluvians had progressed beyond mere metal production and
,had obviously learned how to utilize certain forms of energy ­in this case electricity-several thousand years before the re-introduction of this knowledge into our civilization.
For years now, a slow but methodical search, has been conducted to find the elusive ark of Noah, theship that bridged the gap between the antediluvian and postdiluvian civilizations. We have always thought of it as a simple wooden ship, of which we know only the approximate dimensions. I have participated in numerous discussions speculating about the possible contents of the ship, yet in all those long, thought:-provoking -hours, no one ever thought of Noah and his family as members of a highly civilized race. Problems of. waste disposal, ventilation, air ,conditioning, maintenance and lighting were disposed of with a casual wave of the hand. :
'Their civilization wasn't far enough advanced for a sophisticated technology,' was the usual consensus'; 'Don't look for the
impossible.'

Can it be that we were all wrong?
Let's take a look at the Genesis description of the Flood and the survival vessel, and focus our attention on two references. In this account we find two indications that lead us to believe that electricity may have played a vital role in the operation of the ark. One reference is found in Genesis 8 :6, where the Hebrew 'word' challon or 'opening' is used, referring to the window through which Noah released the birds. The other reference, however, utilizes a different word - tsohar - which is translated as 'window'
but does not mean window or opening at all! Where-it is used (twenty-two times in the Old Testament), its meaning is given as a brightness, a brilliance, the light of the noonday sun'. Its cognates refer to something that 'glistens, glitters or shines'. Many Jewish scholars of the traditional school identify tsohar as 'a light which has its origins in a shining crystal'. For centuries Hebrew tradition has described the tsohar as an enormous gem or pearl that Noah hung from the rafters of the ark, and which, by some power contained within itself, illuminated the entire vessel for the duration of the Flood voyage.
Noah's light source seems to have been preserved in history for hundreds of years, for we find indications,that King Solomon of Israel may have used it in about 1000 BC. An ancient Jewish manuscript entitled 'The Queen of Sheba and Her Only Son / Page 53 / Menyelek', translated by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, 'contains this statement: 'Now the House of Solomon the King was illuminated as.by day, for in his wisdom he had made shining pearls which were like unto the sun, the moon and the stars in the roof of his house. '
In view of this, it is not surprising that Solomon himself once wrote, '. . . there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time which was before us.' (Eec. 1 :9-10.)
Electricity in one form or another has surfaced throughout the centuries. According to the historian Josephus Goriondes, Alexander the Great wrote to his teacher during his conquest of Persia that an island located off the coast of India was inhabited by men who ate raw fish and spoke a language akin to Greek. They believed that at one time Cainan, the great-grandson of Adam, was entombed on their island. Prior to the Flood, the tradition went, a high tower was situated over the sepulchre, protecting it in a remarkable way. Anyone who approached the tomb was struck dead by a flash of lightning that was discharged from the top of the tower. Of course, all was destroyed by the Abod, but the story of the tower and the tomb had been,per­petuated by every generation inhabiting the island since the great catastrophe.
What makes this tradition even more intriguing is that Cain an was a -'craftsman', the inventor of many crafts. According to Bible chronology he died around 3819 BC, which means that he lived for nearly a century following Tubalcain's discovery of the art of metallurgy. In keeping with his craftsmanship, Cainan, in the crowning years of his life, may have combined Tubalcain's knowledge of the properties of metals with his own ingenuity, and become the first man to discover and utilize the power of electricity. This certainly is not an illogical assumption when we have evidence that electricity was used after the Flood by craftsmen, the gold and silversmiths of Babylonia and Persia.
Another item concerning pre-Flood electricity comes to us from a fragment of a Sumerian text cited by the well-known archaeologist S.N.Kramer in his book History Begins at Sumer (p 200). The quoted text speaks of Ziusudra, the King, the Preserver of the Seed of Mankind' and how he constructed a 'huge boat which was tossed about' in a flood that overwhelmed the land. Ziusudra is identical to Berosus Xisuthros and the older Sumerian Utna­pishtim. The Sumerian text also mentions that in the preparation of Ziusudra's 'huge boat', the hero Utu brought 'his rays -[of the / Page 54 /sun] into the boat, in 'order to give it light,' Utu corresponds to Ubarat-utu in the Weld-Blundell Sumerian list, who was the eighth 'king' of the ten pre-Plood rulers-the counterpart oLthe
Biblical Methuselah. Bible chronologists state that Cainan, the discoverer of electricity, died in 3819 BC; and Noah, the utilizer of the electric tsohar in the ark, was born in' 3998 BC, which means that the two were not contemporaries and that Cainan was not the one who contributed his discovery to t:he ark. However, Methuselah was 548 years of age when Cainan died, and since he continued to live another 421 years, he certainly was . present during the entire period of construction of the ark. Thus, having been a contemporary of both Cainan and Noah, he may have been the individual, as indicated in the Sumerian legend, who relayed the secrets of electric power to ,Noah.­
Electricity, however, does not seem to have been ,the only energy source of which the antediluvians 'had. knowledge, for there are a number of out-of-place finds' and historical records which suggest that they manipulated a wide range or power potentials.
In Genesis 6:14, Noah was commanded to make the ark waterproof in a specific way: '[Thou] shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.' The word for pitch as it is used here is the Hebrew kopher - thought to be related to the Assyrian kupur­which means bitumen or asphalt. Now, asphalt is a petroleum 'product, and as we know, natural petroleum was formed by vegetable and animal remains that were subjected to tremendous heat and pressure. The Creationist geologists believe that this occurred when antediluvian life forms were buried by the Flood. Yet, the Genesis account clearly states that Noah was to waterproof the ark with asphalt, which raises the question, Was a petroleum product such as asphalt in existence before the Flood? Yes-! It must have been, and since it did not happen naturally, we must assume it was. produced artificially, which presupposes a highly advanced knowledge of chemistry, particularly in the-area of hydrocarbons. If the antediluvians were knowledgeable In hydrocarbon chemistry and production, then the entire range of petroleum products was within their grasp, from waterproof sealants (the 'pitch' of the ark) to plastics and other synthetic materials. Most impen:ant, however, they would have been able to produce machine lubricants and engine fuel.
Is it mere chance that the root word of chemistry - chernia -.is attributed to khem, the ancient name for the land of Egypt, or the land of Kham, derived from the Biblical Ham, one of the / Page / 55 / three sons of Noah?
We do not know which of Noah's sons transmitted the knowledge of electricity to the succeeding generations, but the fact
that it survived the Flood is certain, as modem research into the secrets of the ancients furnishes us with ample evidence.
In 1938, Dr Wilhelm Konig, a German archaeologist employed by the State Museum in Baghdad, Iraq, was aimlessly rummaging through the basement of the museum when he came upon a find that was to drastically alter all concepts of ancient science. It was a storage box containing a number of two-thousand-year-old clay pots which had been excavated at Kujut Rabua, a village south-east of Baghdad.
At first glance the pots were noticeably unusual. Each one was 6 inches high and housed a cylinder of sheet copper 5 inches high and It inches in diameter. The edges of the cylinders seemed to have been soldered with a 60/40 lead-tin alloy, which is compar­able to the solder in use today. The bottoms of the mysterious cylinders were capped with copper discs and sealed with bitumen or asphalt:- Another insulating layer of bitumen sealed the tops of the pots and was also used to hold in place iron rods suspended into the centre of the copper cylinders. The rods showed unmistakable evidence of having been corroded by an acid solution, long since evaporated. .
With a background in mechanics, Dr Konig immediately recognized that this configuration of copper, iron and acid was not a chance arrangement, but that the clay pots were nothing less than ancient electric cells. Confirmation of his identification came after the Second World War when science historian Willy Ley, working with Willard Gray of the General Electric High Voltage Laboratory in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, constructed a duplicate model of the ancient clay pot cells. They discovered when they added copper sulfate, acetic acid or citric acid ­all of which were well known two thousand years ago - the cells produced between 11/2 and 2 volts of electricity. Generation of electric current by the same means was not possible in our modern civilization until 1800. . .
More such electric cells were found. Four similar clay pots containing copper cylinders were unearthed in a magician's hut near: Tel Omar (Seleucia), also near Baghdad. Found with these pots were thin iron and copper rods which may have been used to connect the cells into a series - a battery - in order to produce a stronger voltage. Ten other cells were also uncovered at Ktesiphon - again in proximity to the city of Baghdad - by / Page 56 / Professor E. Kuhnel of the Staatliches Museum in Berlin. These were found broken down into their component parts, as though they had been mass-produced and their manufacture had been interrupted before assembling the pieces into working batteries!
The ancient batteries found in the Baghdad Museum and elsewhere in Iraq all date from the Parthian period of Persian occupation, . between 250 BC and AD 650. However, electro­plated objects, which presuppose the use of some form of battery, have been discovered in Iraq in Babylonian ruins dating back to 2000 BC. It would appear that the Persians and later craftsmen in Baghdad inherited their batteries from one of the earliest civilizations in the Middle East.
Electroplated objects were also found in Egypt by the famous nineteenth century French archaeologist August Mariette. Excavating in the area of the Sphinx of Gizeh, Mariette came upon a number of artifacts at a depth of sixty feet. In. the Grand Dictionaire Universal du 19th Siecle, he described the artifacts as 'pieces of gold jewellery whose thinness and lightness make one believe they had been produced by electroplating, an industrial technique that we have been using for only two or three years.'
Down through the years, diverse sections of the world have yielded many accounts of bizarre and seemingly unexplainable lights, many of which may well have had their source in electric power.
In West Irian - formerly Dutch New Guinea - is a village near Mount Wilhelmina with a layout of artificial illumination that in brightness equals any system we have in our western ,world. In a United Press dispatch in 1963 Harold Guard quotes vsitors to
the hamlet as saying that 'they were terrified to see many moons suspended in the air and shining with great brightness.' Other visitors have described these 'moons' as huge stone balls that began to glow with a mysterious bright light as soon as the sun disappeared behind the tangled overgrowth of the jungIe. Mounted on tall pillars, they projeted a luminous glow over the entire village. This may be the same phenomenon described in 1601 by Barco Cenenera, who wrote about the conquistadors' discovery of the city of Granmoxo near the source of the Paraguay River in the Planalto do Mato Grosso. He wrote, 'On the summit of a 73/4 metre pillar was a great moon which illuminated all the lake, dispelling darkness.'
We know from the historical record that such secret Hebrew societies as the Kabala preserved the knowledge of electricity as
late as the medieval period. Eliphas Levi, in his Histoire de la / Page 57 / Magie, records the story of a mysterious French rabbi named Jechiele who was an advisor in the thirteenth-century court of Louis IX. Jechiele, his contemporaries report, often astounded the king with his 'dazzling lamp that lighted itself'. The lamp possessed no oil or wick, and Jethiele placed it in front of his house for all to see. What the lamp's secret source .of energy was, the rabbi never revealed.
Another device, one with which Jechiele used to protect himself, was a door knocker that literally shocked his enemies. The thirteenth-century chroniclers tell how he 'touched a nail driven into the wall of his study, and a crackling, bluish spark immediately leapt forth. Woe to anyone who touched the iron knocker at that moment: he would bend double, scream as if : he had been burned, then he would run away as fast as his legsuld carry him.' It would appear that Jechiele pushed a discharge button that sent an electric current into the iron knocker on his door.
The ancients may have had more sources of light than we can imagine, and, there are numerous indications that this was so. When the sepulchre of Pallas was opened near Rome in the early" 1400s, it was found to be lighted by a lantern which had kept fhe inside of the tomb illuminated for more than two thousand years. Pausanias, who lived during the second century AD, writes that the temple of Minerva had a light that could bum for at least a year. St Augustine (AD 354-430) claims that in an Egyptian temple dedicated to Isis a lamp burned which neither wind nor water could extinguish.
Until the invention of electric lighting in 1890, we possessed only - candles, torches and oil lamps, light sources that smoked and left sooty deposits on ceilings. No trace of smoke, however, was ever found either in the pyramids of Egypt or in the subterranean tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. It has been thought that perhaps the Egyptians used some complicated system of lenses and mirrors to bring sunlight into the burial chambers, but no remains of any such system have ever been found. A number of ancient tombs, in fact, have tunnels .and passageways that are too complex for a mirror system to have. brought sufficient light into the inner chamber. The only alternative is that the Egyptians had a smokeless light source. Since the Egyptians possessed electricity to electroplate gold jewel1ery - as Mariette discovered - they may also have utilized it to illuminate their tombs.
How sophisticated were the Egyptians in their understanding / Page 58 / and utilization of electricity? In Room 17 in the Egyptian Temple of Dendera, built during the Ptolemaic period and dedicated to the goddess Hathor, a very mysterious picture is engraved on the wall. Egyptologists have been at a loss to explain the meaning of this picture in religious or mythological terms. Several electronics engineers, however, believe it contains information of a very different nature.
First, to the extreme right appears a box on top of which sits an image of the Egyptian god Horus. On his head is his symbol­also the symbol of divine energy - the disc of the sun. This iClentifies the box as the energy source.
Attached to the box is the representation of a braided cable, which electromagnetics engineer Professor John Harris has identified as a virtually exact copy of engineering illustrations used today for representing a bundle of conducting electrical wires. The cable runs from the box the full length of the floor of the picture and terminates both at the ends and at the bases of two very peculiar objects. -Each of these objects rests on a pillar which Professor Harris has identified as a high-voltage insulator. Each object is also pictured as being operated by two Egyptian priests.
The two peculiar objects in the temple picture look very much like TV picture tubes, an impression which may not be far from the truth, for electronics technician N. Zecharius has identified
the objects as Crookes tubes, the forerunners of the modem ­television tube.
In simplified terms, a Crookes tube consists of a vacuum contained in a glass encasement within which a fluorescent ray of electrons can be produced. When the tube is in operation, the ray originates where the cathode electrical wire enters the tube, and from there the ray extends the length of the tube to the oppo­site end. In the temple picture, the electron beam is represented as an outstret~hed serpent. The tail of the serpent begins where the cable from the energy box enters the tube, and the serpent's head touches the opposite end. In Egyptian art, the serpent was the symbol of divine energy.
Now, the temple picture shows one tube on the extreme left of the picture to be operating under normal conditions. But in the case of the second tube, situated closer to the energy box on the right, an interesting experiment has been portrayed.
~ Michael R. Freedman, an electrical and electromagnetics engineer, believes that the solar disc on Horus's head is a Van de Graaff generator, an apparatus which collects staticelectficity.

Page 58

A baboon is portrayed- holding a metal knife between the Van de Graaff solar disc and the second tube. Under actual conditions, the static charge built up, on the knife from the generator would cause the electron beam inside the Crookes" tube to be diverted from the normal path, because the negatively - charged knife and the negativey charged beam would repel: each other. In the temple picture, the serpent's head in the second tube is turned away from the end of the tube, as though repulsed by the knife in the baboon's hand.
When one looks at the temple picture as a whole, every aspect represents an important feature of a serious scientific experiment. the one tube with the straight serpent is the control (or the tube operating under normal conditions, for comparison); the other with the repelled serpent is the experimental tube (or the tube upon which new conditions have been imposed). Even the uSe of a baboon to hold the knife shows that the Egyptians were well aware of the powerful energies they were dealing with and took no chances by participating directly in the experiment themselves.
The Crookes tube'.\'as the forerunner not only of television but also of the fluoroscope, an instrument that uses X-rays for diagnosing internal injuries. We have no evidence as yet that the Egyptians possessed the fluoroscope, but we do have indications that the Hindus and Chinese did.
An Indian contemporary of Buddha, a physician named Jivaka, was given the title, King of Doctors about 500 BC. Records tell us that he had a 'gem' which he used for diagnosis,. and that when a patient was placed before the gem it 'illuminated his body as a lamp lights up all objects in a house, and so revealed the nature of his malady.'
Jivaka's magic gem disappeared in history, but three centuries later there was discovered in the palace of Hien-Yang in Shensi, a 'precious mirror that illuminates the bones of the body'. The mirror was rectangular - four by five feet.- and gave off a strange light on both sides. The view of the organs of the body that the mirror gave could not be obstructed by any obstacle, which would be typical of the penetration power of X-rays. .
Is it possible that some of these light sourCes employed energy-conversion methods like electricity, or could it have been something more exotic? Is it possible that tbe ancients found ways to harness atomic power in' order to light small areas? In our day and age we recognize that atomic power will be an important source of energy for the future, but there are indications / Page 60 / that atomic power is not new."
