Vitrified ruins can also be found in France, Turkey and some Even more confusing to Keller is the biblical statement (in areas of the Middle East.

The Hittites were metallurgists and sea- farers. Their winged discs may in fact have been representations of vimanas—flying machines. Some of the ancient ziggurats of Iran and Iraq also contain vitri- fied material, sometimes thought by archaeologists to be caused y the Greek fire. For instance, the vitrified remains of the ziggu- rat at Birs Nimrod (Borsippa), south of Hillah, were once con- fused with the Tower of Babel. The ruins are crowned by a mass of vitrified brickwork—actual clay bricks fused together by intense heat. This may be due to the horrific ancient wars described in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, although early archaeologists attributed the effect to lightning.

Greek Fire, Plasma Guns and Atomic Warfare If one were to believe the great Indian epic of the Mahabharata, fantastic battles were fought in the past with air- ships, particle beams, chemical warfare and presumably atomic weapons. Just as battles in the 20th century have been fought with incredibly devastating weapons, it may well be that battles in the latter days of Atlantis were fought with highly sophisticated, high-tech weapons. The mysterious Greek fire was a "chemical fireball". Indonesian tektites 58 + NEXUS AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2000
