IMPORTANT FOREW0RD
Around 200,000 years ago, the hominid known as Homo erectus suddenly
transformed itself into Homo Sapien with a 50 per cent increase in
brain size, together with language capability and a modern anatomy.
How could this have happened so suddenly after 1.2 million years of
no progress at all? It is anomalies such as these that have caused
considerable discomfort to highly respected evolutionary scientists
such as Noam Chomsky and Roger Penrose. When state-of the-art
evolutionary principles are applied to Homo sapiens, the logical
conclusion is that we should not be here!
The religious view of Divine Creation suffers from equal skepticism.
Who can take the Garden of Eden story seriously? Science and
Religion are driving round in circles in a cul-de-sac. But mankind
is here, and that fact needs to be explained.
The evolution of mankind is only one of the many mysteries that
conventional science cannot explain. In recent years, the best
seller lists have featured an increasing number of popular books
which have dealt with these mysteries. One of the factors behind
this trend has been the series of discoveries coming out of Egypt.
The discovery of a secret doorway inside the Great Pyramid and the
independent dating of the
Giza Pyramids and
Sphinx to the era
10,500-8,000 BC have captured the public’s imagination. But these
historical anomalies are not just confined to Egypt. All over the
world we find sites such as Stonehenge,
Tiwanaku,
Nazca and
Baalbek
that do nor fit the historical paradigm. A shadowy prehistory seems
to exist as a legacy in the form of stone, maps and mythology, which
our twentieth century technology has only just allowed us to
recognize.
Against this background. many writers have grasped at the straw of
Atlantis, and can be excused for doing so. But in fact the advanced
knowledge of the Maya and the Egyptians can be traced back to the
first civilization of the Sumerians which suddenly and mysteriously
emerged 6,000 years ago. The Sumerians claimed that their culture
was a gift not from Atlantis but from the Gods! In view of the
physical evidence all around us, can we afford to dismiss what the
Sumerians said?
The scientific establishment has an in-built aversion to the idea of
“Gods”, but this is simply a problem of terminology and religious
conditioning. The fact is that man now possesses the genetic
technology to create “in his own image”. The beings we created might
well call us “Gods”. The Sumerian and Mesopotamian texts, discovered
and translated only in the last one hundred years do indeed credit
flesh-and-blood Gods with the creation of man. These texts parallel
the Biblical account of Genesis, although the latter has been
towards a monotheistic interpretation.
Gods of the New Millennium is literally about the Gods who created
us; thus in complete contrast to other books which embellish their
titles with the “Gods”, whilst continuing to treat those Gods as
mythology. Those others have often been researched and written in
less than a year by authors with experience in the field. It is not
surprising that such “bandwagon” authors simply rehashed existing
material and offered only superficial explanations of high
technology which was used in ancient times.
This book, in contrast, is the product of a ten year personal quest,
to motivate a pursuit of truth rather than a pursuit of short-term
gain. During this time, I personally visited the many anomalous
places described in this book, rather than relying on second-hand
reports, as many other authors have done. I have also time to carry
out a thorough review of existing literature myself, as compare
others who have had to use research assistants to meet tight
publishing deadlines. The result is a book which at last provides
some answers to the questions everyone is asking.
Scientific progress is rarely possible without building upon the
previous words other scholars, and Gods of the New Millennium is no
exception. In particular, I am indebted to an American scholar,
Zechariah Sitchin whose first book,
The Twelfth Planet, I happened
to discover in 1989. Sitchin’s contribution to proving intervention
of flesh-and-blood Gods in the creation of mankind cannot be
overstated. His first book, the culmination of thirty years’
research, not only explained who these Gods were, but where they
came from and why. Sitchin amassed so much supporting evidence that
much of it had to be held back, subsequently published in four
further books, referred to collectively as “The
Earth Chronicles”
Why have Zechariah Sitchin’s books had such limited impact? The
first reason his overwhelming attention to detail, which can be
off-putting to many readers. The second reason is the immense scope
of his research which has created a virtuous monopoly of knowledge.
Put simply, Sitchin is a difficult act to follow. By leaving so few
stones unturned, he has placed other writers in a quandary. If they
recognize his contribution, there is little they can add or amend,
but if they ignore his theory! they are guilty of intellectual
neglect at best, a betrayal of truth at worst. Sadly few of the
recent best sellers have made more than a passing mention of Sitchin
and some would appear to have gone to extreme lengths not to mention
him, ever to the point of crediting his ideas to someone else!
In contrast, my own research has been aimed purely at establishing
the truth for my own personal curiosity. There was therefore no
temptation for me to ignore Zechariah Sitchin; on the contrary, I
embarked upon an exhaustive, perhaps unprecedented, critique of his
theory. It quickly became apparent that there were several areas
where his ideas needed to be revised. In addition, I began to
examine how Sitchin’s chronology - a central plank of his theory -
could be reconciled to the Biblical time scales of the patriarchs.
This was the “holy grail” that would, to my mind, offer irrefutable
proof that Sitchin was right. To my great disappointment, however, I
was unable to reconcile his time scales to the Bible, no matter how
I tried...
It was then that I discovered the simple mathematical key
which solved the problem, and forced me to completely revise
Zechariah Sitchin’s chronology. As a result of my breakthrough, we
now have for the first time a chronology which:
-
matches the creation of mankind
with the most recent scientific estimates
-
reconciles the arrival of the Gods and the creation of mankind with
the independently verifiable date of the Flood
-
reconciles the dates of the
Biblical patriarchs from Adam to Noah
-
reconciles the dates of the
later patriarchs from Noah to Abraham
-
reconciles with the infamous Sumerian Kings Lists of pre-Flood
rulers.
This breakthrough forced me to tackle head-on the rather unsettling
question of the legendary life spans of the patriarchs (numbering
hundreds of years each), and the Sumerian kings (numbering thousands
of years each!). Fortunately, my research coincided with some
equally dramatic breakthroughs in the field of genetic science,
which enabled me to explain the longevity of the patriarchs, and
indeed the Gods themselves, scientifically. It was becoming apparent
that I had some important new material, which ought to be published.
Because my new chronology is such a vital part of the argument (and
indeed central to any historical analysis), I decided to set out
Gods of the New Millennium as a one-volume scientific proof of the
ancient flesh-and-blood Gods. The discipline of writing down such a
proof, without leaving any loose ends whatsoever, led me into a
number of areas where I surprised myself by being able to throw new
light on ancient mysteries.
I am delighted to share with my readers
my explanations of
the Nazca Lines,
Easter Island and the lost city
of Petra, and most importantly
the Great Pyramid. My study of the
Pyramid, contained herein, is aimed at validating what the ancient
texts said about it - that it was designed by the Gods as a
multi-functional device. My analysis offers the first ever
convincing explanation of its passages, chambers and shafts from a
purely functional perspective, and thus represents a major
scientific breakthrough.
At the heart of this book is a new theory on the importance of the
25,920-year precessional cycle. Other writers have touched on the
possible links between the Sphinx and the precessional era of Leo
13,000 years ago, but the full significance of these links runs far
deeper than the Sphinx. During the writing of this book, the British
authorities released new information on the dating of Stonehenge,
and this proved to be highly significant. I am now able to offer a
comprehensive solution to the Stonehenge mystery, tackling the
fundamental question of why its design was so complicated if it was
“simply” a solar and lunar calendar, as is generally claimed.
Armed
with this new insight, I made a visit to
Machu Picchu in Peru, and
was able to confirm that this sacred site was used for exactly the
same purpose as Stonehenge, both sites being connected to the precessional change from the era of Taurus to Aries over 4,000 years
ago!
The conclusions of this book will undoubtedly prove controversial,
since they challenge the established views of science. Cynics will
ask how hundreds of years of establishment thinking can possibly be
wrong. I need only point out that Ptolemy located Earth at the
centre of the Solar System for 1,300 years before Copernicus
corrected him. Unfortunately, one of our greatest weaknesses as a
species is our tendency to rush into the construction of paradigms
which are then defended at all costs.
The evidence contained in this book comprises scientifically
verifiable facts. The scope of this evidence is world-wide (and
indeed Solar System wide) and the science is multi-disciplined,
covering fields as diverse as, Geology, geography, astronomy,
mathematics, anthropology and genetics. I have linked together all
of the mysterious places in the world as part of one integrated
approach. There are no loose ends and no contradictory facts that
are swept under the carpet.
As I mentioned earlier, my study of the Gods indicates that the precessional cycle was symbolically important to them. One of the
implications of this conclusion is that present millenarian
expectations (in their many varied forms) may, for once, have some
scientific basis, since the imminent arrival of the new millennium
coincides approximately with a change to the precessional era of
Aquarius. I am sure my readers will be as fascinated as I am by the
prospect of major changes being directed on Earth at that time.
So much for science, but what about our established religious
institutions? Western religions may well be somewhat sensitive to my
conclusion that
the Hebrew “God ” of the Bible was a flesh-and-blood
God, but in firmly identifying this. As to the question of a
Supreme
Being, it is not my intention that intervention by flesh-and-blood
Gods should detract from anyone’s belief in a supernatural divinity
whom we might call God with a capital “G”.
The creation of the
Universe is still shrouded in mystery, and the question of the
creation of man needs to be redirected to the seed of the Gods
themselves. These mysteries, along with paranormal matters such as
reincarnation and UFOs, are outside the realm of this book, which
deals with the knowable, not the unknowable. Nevertheless, I believe
that, by stripping away the prevailing myths of science and
religion, we will all benefit from a clearer perspective on the yet
greater mysteries of our existence.
