— THE EVIDENCE FOR — ANCIENT ATOMIC WARFARE THE EVIDENCE FOR ANCIENT ATOMIC WARFARE Religious texts and geological evidence suggest that several parts of the world have experienced destructive atomic blasts in ages past. Part 2 of 2 t seems one local character knew how to find the place. Brandon relates that "Death Valley Scotty", an eccentric who spent millions building a castle-estate in the area, was known to go "prospecting" when funds ran low. Death Valley Scotty would check out for a few days of wandering in the nearby Grapevine Mountains, bringing back suspiciously refined-looking gold that he claimed he had prospected. Many believe that he got his gold from the stacked gold bars in the tunnel system beneath Death Valley. Evidence of a lost civilisation in Death Valley came in a bizarre report of caves and mummies in the Hot Citizen, a Nevada paper, on August 5, 1947. The story ran as follows: EXPEDITION REPORTS NINE-FOOT SKELETONS A band of amateur archaeologists announced today they have discovered a lost civ- ilization of men nine feet tall in Californian caverns. Howard E. Hill, spokesman for the expedition, said the civilization may be "the fabled lost continent of Atlantis". The caves contain mummies of men and animals and implements of a culture 80,000 years old but "in some respects more advanced than ours," Hill said. He said the 32 caves covered a 180-square-mile area in California's Death Valley and southern Nevada. ARCHAEOLOGISTS SKEPTICAL "This discovery may be more important than the unveiling of King Tut's tomb," he said. Professional archaeologists were skeptical of Hill's story. Los Angeles County Museum scientists pointed out that dinosaurs and tigers which Hill said lay side by side in the caves appeared on Earth 10,000,000 to 13,000,000 years apart. Hill said the caves were discovered in 1931 by Dr F. Bruce Russell, Beverly Hills physician, who literally fell in while sinking a shaft for a mining claim. "He tried for years to interest people in them," Hill said, "but nobody believed him." Russell and several hobbyists incorporated after the war as Amazing Explorations, Inc. and started digging. Several caverns contained mummified remains of "a race of men eight to nine feet tall," Hill said. "They apparently wore a prehistoric zoot suit— a hair garment of medium length, jacket and knee-length trousers." CAVERN TEMPLE FOUND Another cavern contained their ritual hall with devices and markings similar to the Masonic order, he said. "A long tunnel from this temple took the party into a room where," Hill said, "well- preserved remains of dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, imperial elephants and other extinct beasts were paired off in niches as if on display. "Some catastrophe apparently drove the people into the caves," he said. "All of the implements of their civilization were found," he said, "including house- hold utensils and stoves which apparently cooked by radio waves." "I know," he said, "that you won't believe that." by David Hatcher Childress © 2000 Extracted from Chapter 6 of his book Technology of the Gods: The Incredible Sciences of the Ancients Published by Adventures Unlimited Press Kempton, Illinois, USA Website: www.adventuresunlimited.co.nz While of doubtful authenticity, this is an interesting story, to say the least. The last comment about cooking food with radio waves being unbelievable is ironic. That is the NEXUS - 53 VITRIFIED RUINS IN CALIFORNIA'S DEATH VALLEY OCTOBER — NOVEMBER 2000
