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.
