Like a real life Indiana Jones, maverick archeologist David
Hatcher Childress has taken many incredible journeys to some of
the oldest and most remote spots on earth. Writing prolifically of
lost cities and ancient civilizations, he has produced no less than
six lengthy books (the Lost Cities series) chronicling the dimly
remembered glories of obscure locales from the Gobi desert
to
Puma Punku in Bolivia, from Mohenjo Daro
to
Ba'albek. We caught up with him shortly before taking
off for New Guinea on yet another archeological expedition and asked
him if he would be willing to write an exclusive for Atlantis Rising
on the Top 10 Ancient Civilizations with Advanced Technology.
He agreed to dig through his archives and give us a story. ED
For a long time, Indian civilization was not believed to date from much earlier than about 500 B.C., only about 200 years prior to Alexander the Great's invasion of the subcontinent. In the past century, however, the extremely sophisticated cities of Mohenjo Daro (Mound of the Dead) and Harappa have been discovered in the Indus Valley of modern-day Pakistan.
The discoveries of these cities forced archaeologists to push the
dates for the origin of Indian civilization back thousands of years.
A wonder to modern-day researchers, the cities were highly developed
and caused leading archaeologists to believe that they were
conceived as a whole before they were built: a remarkable early
example of city planning. Even more remarkable is that the
plumbing-sewage system throughout the large city is superior to that
found in Pakistan, India, and most Asian countries today.
However, instead of flowing into the Mediterranean Sea at the Nile Delta in northern Egypt, it continued into the valley, and then turned westward to flow in the deepest part of the Mediterranean Valley where it created a large lake and then flowed out between Malta and Sicily, and south of Sardinia into the Atlantic at Gibraltar (the Pillars of Hercules). When Atlantis was destroyed in a cataclysmic upheaval, this cataclysmic change in the Atlantic slowly flooded the Mediterranean Basin, destroying the Osirian's great cities and forcing them to move to higher ground. This theory helps explain the strange megalithic remains found throughout the Mediterranean.
It is an archaeological fact that there are more than 200 known
sunken cities in the Mediterranean. Egyptian civilization, along
with the Minoan and Mycenean in Crete
and Greece are, in theory, remnants of this great, ancient culture.
The civilization built huge earthquake-proof megalithic structures
and had electricity and other conveniences common during the time of
Atlantis. Like Atlantis and Rama, they had airships and
other modes of transport, often electrical in nature. The mysterious
cart tracks of Malta, which go over cliffs and under water,
may well be part of some ancient Osirian tram-line,
possibly taking quarried stone to cities that are now submerged.
Though the Gobi is now a parched land-licked desert, these cities were ocean ports. Edgar Cayce once said that elevators would be discovered in a lost city in the Gobi Desert, and while this has not happened yet, it is not out of the question.
Significantly, it is claimed that the Elders of Lemuria,
known as
the Thirteenth School, moved their headquarters prior
to the cataclysm to the uninhabited plateau of Central Asia that we
now call Tibet. Here they supposedly established a library and
school known as
The Great White Brotherhood.
Only a few hundred miles to the south of Cusco lie the fantastic ruins of Puma Punku, high in the Altiplano of Bolivia. The ruins of Puma Punku, about one mile from the famous ruins of Tiahuanaco, are massive megalithic constructions that are tossed about like toy building blocks. What kind of cataclysmic upheaval could have done such a thing? Here is the kind of megalithic construction meant to last for thousands of years, yet, the 100-ton blocks have been torn asunder by mighty geological forces.
It would appear that the South American continent was suddenly and
violently thrust upward during some kind of cataclysm, most likely a
pole shift. A former sea-level canal can now be seen at 13,000 feet
in the Andes Mountains. As possible evidence for this
scenario, many ocean fossils can be found near Lake Titicaca. The
lake is even inhabited by the only known fresh water sea horses.
Mayan pyramids are found from Central America to as far away as the Indonesian island of Java. The pyramid of Sukuh, on the slopes of Mount Lawu near Surakarta in central Java is an amazing temple with stone stelae and a step pyramid that would match any in the jungles of Central America.
The pyramid is in fact virtually identical to the pyramids found at the ancient Mayan site at Uaxactun, near Tikal.
Some of the Mayan glyphs were allegedly radionic-type insect
control devices that broadcast an etheric vibration of the
targeted pest.
And (secondly) in
the temple records that were in Egypt, where the entity acted later
in cooperation with others towards preserving the records that came
from the land where these had been kept. Also (thirdly) in records
that were carried to what is now Yucatan, in America, where these
stones (which they know so little about) are now, during the last
few months, being uncovered.
Ancient China, known as Han China, is said to have come, like all civilizations, from the huge Pacific continent Mu. The ancient Chinese are known for their sky-chariots, their geomancy, and the jade manufacture that they shared with the Mayas. Indeed, the ancient histories of the Chinese and the Mayas seem indelibly linked.
Anthropologists makes a good case for a Taoist influence coming to Central America by showing Shang dynasty symbols and motifs (the yin-yang is the most famous, but there are many more) and then relating them to known Mayan art and sculpture. Jade was of particular importance to the Shang Chinese. So far, the source of Chinese jade has not been pinpointed. Much of it may have come from Central America. Even the source of Central American jade is a mystery; many ancient jade mines are believed to be still undiscovered.
Anthropologists suggest that Chinese voyages to Mexico, between 500-300 B.C., may have been related to Taoist trade in magic mushrooms or drugs of longevity.
The ancient Chinese are often said to be the originators of every
invention from toilet paper, earthquake detectors, paper money,
canons, rocket technology, printing methods, and thousands of other
clever and high-tech items. In 1959 archaeologists in China
discovered belt buckles made out of aluminum thousands of years ago.
Aluminum is generally processed from bauxite with electricity!
The Ark of the Covenant is said to have been an electrical generator box which housed several sacred objects, including a solid gold statue from earlier cultures that is called the Holy of Holies. This box and gold statue were said to have been removed from the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid in Egypt by Moses during the period of the Exodus.
Many scholars believe that the Ark of the Covenant, as well as other ancient artifacts, were actually electrical devices, some of which were worshipped in temples as oracles.
The Bible recounts how certain unauthorized persons would touch the
Ark and be electrocuted.
When some of the more than 400 gravel hills on New Caledonia were excavated in the 1960s, cement columns of lime and shell matter were carbon dated by Yale and the New Caledonia Museum as having been made before 5120 B.C. and 10,950 B.C. These weird cement columns can be found in the southern part of New Caledonia and on the Isle of Pines.
According to the Easter Islanders, the statues of the islands walked or levitated in order to move in a clock-wise spiral around the island. On the island of Pohnpei, the Micronesians claim that the stones of the eleven-square-mile city were levitated into place.
