Lost Knowledge of the Ancients
A Graham Hancock Reader
Edited by Glenn Kreisberg (2010)
This book consists of fourteen articles contributed by different authors. Notes were taken from eight of these articles, as given below.
“The Egypt Code” – Robert Bauval
Orion (Osiris/Asar to the Egyptians) & Sirius appear on the eastern horizon in late June, when the Nile should begin to flood, & also around the summer solstice, their new year's day & “Birth of Ra.” Rituals were app. developed to ensure a flooding of Nile & thus fertile soil.
“Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA” – Richard C. Hoagland
NASA was created as a part of the defense establishment & is obligated to classify anything deemed a threat to national security. Hoagland describes 3 power groups behind NASA, including many foreigners, that he describes as the “magicians,” “masons” & “Nazis.” He says that he witnessed the head of press relations at JPL planting the first story of a faked Moon landing in the heads of reporters while the first landing mission was still ongoing, app. as a back-up cover story for actually going & coming back with ancient artifacts from a vanished, technologically-superior civilization.
“History and Celestial Time” – Walter Cruttenden
Ancients viewed time as cyclical, two cycles (ascension & descension) through various levels of consciousness, fitting into the “Great Year” of a complete procession of the equinox (~26,000 years). Ancient Mithraic temples suggest that the ascension & descension revolve around the age of Cautes & Cautopates. [According to Wikipedia, “Cautes and Cautopates are torch-bearers depicted attending the god Mithras in the icons of ancient Roman cult of Mithraism, known as Tauroctony.]
Vedic/Hindu Yuga Cycle: Kali (material/gross), Dwapara, Treta, & Satya (“golden age”) Yugas. According to Swami Sri Yukteswar, we are currently moving from the Kali Yuga into the Dwapara Yuga, the latter represented by electrical & atomic energy. The Treta Yuga/Silver Age was described by the Greeks as the “age of the demi-gods,” & by ancient Indians as the age of “magnetism and the mind.” Before the tower of Babel (pre- ~3100 BC), app. in the descending age of the Treta Yuga, mankind app. spoke one language, possibly telepathically, & more open/freely communed with nature. According to the same Swami, ~3100 BC was when mankind lost its collective powers of clairvoyance & telepathy. Paramahansa Yogananda says ~4100 CE is when we will enter the Treta Yuga from the Dwapara Yuga in the ascending cycle, when there will be “wizards” by today's standards of consciousness.
“The Orion Key” – Scott Creighton
The three main pyramids at Giza are patterned after the stars of the belt of Orion. The 2 sets of 3 “queen's pyramids” mark the same stars' extreme positions on the horizon as they appear to move with the precession of the equinox. The last alignment on the horizon with these pyramids was in ~10,500 BC, & the belt stars of Orion will reach their opposite position in alignment with the other 3 queen's pyramids around 2500 AD. ~10,500 BC corresponds to the end of the last ice age, mass extinctions & possibly other global changes/cataclysms.
“The Cygnus Mystery” – Andrew Collins
Cygnus X-3 is a source of very high-energy, neutral-charged cosmic radiation that strikes the Earth & penetrates into the ground. There is app. a jet of superheated plasma from there, aimed straight at the solar system. In ancient times Cygnus was associated with a swan or other large bird (vulture in Egypt) which carried souls to and/or from Earth upon birth/death. The stork also derives from this. Ancients seemed fascinated with this part of the sky & it is suspected by some that the elevated levels of cosmic radiation from this region may have contributed to the evolution of modern man.
“The Gulf of Khambhat” – S. Badrinaryan
Ancient ruins off the coast of India, more than 100 ft. below water in places & over 12 miles from the modern coast. Miles of geometric shapes picked up on sonar scans, & retrieved artifacts, including fossilized human bone, cover the enormous range of ~3000 BC to ~31,000 BC (the latter date given for a piece of pottery).
“The Orion Zone” – Gary A. David
Native Americans of the SW app. built sites creating a map of the constellation Orion (which they say was taught to them when they first arrived) in Arizona. The Hopi believed an entrance to the underworld is in the Grand Canyon. The word “zone” refers to the belt of Orion.
“On the Possibility of Instantaneous Shifts of the Poles” – Flavio Barbiero
The poles were app. centered over Greenland, extending as ~2-mile-thick ice sheets as far as London, Berlin & NY, around 50,000-12,000 years ago. Siberia was not covered in ice, & was inhabited. Based on archaeological evidence, shifts have occurred in a matter of days, possibly due to celestial impacts.
