Im April 1898 verließ Adam Alfred Rudolf Glauer (bürgerlicher Name) Deutschland um nach Australien, Ägypten und später in die Türkei zu reisen. Der spätere Theosoph, Rosenkreuzer, Freimaurer und Freiherr von Sebottendorf hielt sich zu dem Zeitpunkt in Kairo auf, als der spätere Stellvertreter Hitlers, Rudolf Hess noch in Kairo zur Schule ging. Wurden hier vielleicht schon Verbindungen zueinander geknüpft? Zwischen 1900 und 1913 hat sich Glauer in Ägypten und der Türkei aufgehalten, wo er in Kontakt mit den einflußreichen Orden der Bektaschi-Derwische kam. Von ihnen wurde Glauer in okkulte Lehren eingeführt. Viele seiner Lebensjahre liegen immer noch im Dunkeln. Er hieß Rudolf Glauer, bevor er in der Türkei von dem Rosenkreuzer und Baron Freiherrn Heinrich von Sebottendorf, kurz vor seinem erneuten Auftauchen in Deutschland adoptiert und mit beträchtlichen Geldmitteln versehen wurde. Irgendwann 1917 kam er als türkischer Staatsangehöriger nach Deutschland zurück. Um deutschem Recht zu genügen, wurde die Adoption 1914 in Wiesbaden von einem Siegmund von Sebottendorf von der Rose wiederholt. Am Tag nach der deutschen Kapitulation, beging Sebottendorf (Glauer) angeblich Selbstmord im Bosporus.
Karl Haushofer wurde 1869 geboren. Haushofer war eine jener Gestalten, die zu den wesentlichen Bindegliedern zwischen den okkult-esoterischen Bewegungen der Jahrhundertwende und dem 3. Reich gehören. Als Geograph unternahm er um die Jahrhundertwende zahlreiche Reisen nach Indien und in den Fernen Osten. Spätestens 1903 muß er zu dem Kreis um den aus Kleinasien stammenden Magier und Esoteriker Georg Iwanowitsch Gurdjieff gestoßen sein. Mit ihm soll Haushofer Berichten zufolge mehrere Jahre (1903, 1905, 1906) in Tibet und zwischen 1907 und 1908 in Japan gewesen sein. In Japan lernte Haushofer die Landessprache und trat einer der bedeutesten buddhistischen Geheimsekten bei, bei der es sich vermutlich um die Gelbmützen ((dGe-lugs-pa) gehandelt haben könnte. Man sprach überdies Haushofer mediale Fähigkeiten und andere außergewöhnliche Begabungen zu. Während des Ersten Weltkrieges soll er verschiedenen Berichten nach als Hellseher aufgefallen sein, der feindliche Angriffe, Unwetter und andere Ereignisse auf die Minute genau vorherzusagen verstand. Karl Haushofer begann 1946 Selbstmord.
Freiherr R. v. Sebottendorf war wie Karl Haushofer begeisterter Indien- und Tibetreisender und ebenfalls in der Erbengemeinschaft der Tempelritter (Societas Templi Marcioni). Dies war eine Geheimgesellschaft die sich mit der Vervollkommnung des Menschen, durch Meditation , Atemübungen und Yogapraktiken beschäftigte.
Daraus läßt sich erkennen, daß vor, aber auch während dem 3. Reich Interesse bestand Verbindungen zum Osten zu schaffen. Das wohl bekannteste Beispiel hierzu ist die enge Freundschaft zwischen dem XIV Dalai Lama und dem Angehörigen der SS Heinrich Harrer. Während sich Harrer in Indien aufhielt, brach der Krieg aus, und er wurde, als junger Soldat bis 1944 von den Engländern interniert. Erst dann konnte er mit einem Kameraden nach Tibet fliehen. Ein Zufall oder das Schicksal führten dazu, daß er bis Anfang der 50er Jahre als der persönliche Lehrer des jungen Dalai Lama tätig war, den er über alle Wunder der westlichen Zivilisation unterrichtete und auch in die englische Sprache einführte. 1952 kehrte der Lehrer seiner Heiligkeit nach Deutschland zurück. Diese Geschichte wird in dem Film Sieben Jahre in Tibet (mehr oder weniger) erzählt.
Harrer sowie der Wissenschaftler und Tibetspezialist Ernst Schäfer glaubten, Tibet sei die Wiege der Menschheit, ein Zufluchtsort wo eine Priesterkaste ein geheimnisvolles Reich namens Shambhala geschaffen habe dekoriert mit dem buddhistischen Symbol vom Rad der Lehre, einem Hakenkreuz. Schäfer arbeitete nicht nur als ein einfaches Mitglied der SS, sondern zählte zum persönlichen Stab Heinrich Himmlers und wurde später Leiter der Abteilung Ahnenerbe.
Gegen Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges entdeckten sowjetische Soldaten in Berlin mehr als 1000 tote Tibeter, die Uniformen der Wehrmacht trugen. Doch nun zurück zu den Herren Haushofer und von Sebottendorf.
Die Thule-Gesellschaft
Gegen 1918 formierten sich einige mächtige Leute um Sebottendorf und Haushofer und gründeten die ThuleGesellschaft oder den Thule Förderer und Freundschaftskreis. Welch komischer Zufall, daß nach gerade mal einem Jahr Aufenthalt in Deutschland für Sebottendorf soviel Einfluß bestand um einen Geheimbund zu gründen. Diese Gesellschaft hatte rangvolle Persönlichkeiten als Mitglieder; z.B. Guido von List, Dietrich Eckart der Chefredakteur des Völkischen Beobachters, Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Steiner der Begründer der anthroposophischen Lehren, Rudolf Hess Stellvertreter des Führers und SS-Obergruppenführer, Hans Frank der NS-Reichsleiter, Heinrich Himmler, Herrmann Göring uvm.
Hier wurden, unter Ausschluß der Öffentlichkeit, geheime Rituale sowie machtpolitische Unterredungen gehalten. Sie wurde zu einer Geheimgesellschaft, zu einem okkulten Mittelpunkt des Nationalsozialismus. Sicher war die Thule-Gesellschaft nicht allein für die Machtübernahme Hitlers verantwortlich, doch würde ein genaueres Erklären den Rahmen sprengen und vor allem vom Thema abweichen. Ein interessantes Buch zu diesem Thema ist Das Schwarze Reich (siehe Quellenangabe). Diese Thule-Gesellschaft hielt, innerhalb ihres Bundes, mit nur wenig Eingeweihten, Seancen und spiritistische Sitzungen ab. Bei diesen Sitzungen im engeren Kreis, wurde alt-verborgenes-Wissen durch Wesen im Jenseits übermittelt.
Daß, zur Zeit Hitlers, in Deutschland Symbolismus, die Geomantie und der Mystizismus etwas alltägliches war, beweist sich in der Darstellung des 3. Reiches. Die Runen als Beispiel, welche unterschiedliche Bedeutungen haben und denen verschiedene Kräfte zugesprochen werden, zierten die Uniformen der SS und auch die Fahnen des deutschen Heeres. Oder das Hakenkreuz, das in vielen asiatischen Ländern auch heute noch benutzt und als Glückssymbol angesehen wird. Sowie die Bauweise von Albert Speer, dem bevorzugten Architekten Hitlers (Wewelsburg, Olympiastadion, Parteitagsbauten,....).

Die Thule-Gesellschaft war durch Übersetzungen von tibetischen, indischen und griechischen Schriften der Meinung, daß unsere Erde hohl und von innen bewohnt sei. Ultima Thule soll die Hauptstadt des Kontinents Hyperborea gewesen sein, der älter als Lemuria und Atlantis war. Die Hyperboreaner waren Thule-Texten zufolge, technisch wie sozial sehr weit fortgeschritten. Dieser Kontinent soll im Nordmeer gelegen haben und im Verlauf einer Eiszeit gesunken sein. Während dieser Katastrophe sollen die Hyperboreaner mit Hilfe riesiger Maschinen, große Tunnel in die Erdkruste gegraben und sich unter der Himalaya-Region angesiedelt haben. Dieses Reich bekam den Namen Agharta oder Agharti mit der Hauptstadt Shamballah. (BILD) Der heutige XIV. Dalai Lama sowie Lamas aus der Mongolei und Tibet geben an dieses unterirdische Reich und den dort lebenden Herrscher der Welt (Rigden Iyepo) zu kennen. Der Dalai Lama behauptet sogar, daß er der Stellvertreter des Königs auf Erden ist. Das unterirdische Reich hatte sich über die Jahrtausende unter der gesamten Erdoberfläche verbreitet, mit riesigen Zentren unter der Sahara, dem Matto Grosso in Brasilien, Yucatan in Mexico, Mount Shasta in Kalifornien und vielen mehr.
Die Thulegesellschaft (und andere Logen) wollten mit diesen Zivilisationen wieder in Kontakt treten und beschloß mehrere Expeditionen nach Tibet zu machen (Harrer, Schäfer, ...). Weitere Expeditionen erforschten die Anden, das Matto Grosso Gebirge im Norden und Santa Catarina im Süden Brasiliens, in der Tschechoslowakei, an Nord- und Südpol und überall wo man sich erfolgreiche Funde versprach.
Ebenso dachten die Thuleverbündeten, daß durch zwei große Öffnungen an den Polen, diese innere Erde erreichbar sei. Sie beriefen sich auf Übersetzungen verschiedener Texte, Geheimwissen von unterschiedlichen Geheimgesellschaften, Gesetzmäßigkeiten welche sie in der Natur beobachten konnten, wie die Hohlräume der Körperzelle, der Eizelle, des Atoms, der Kometen, ... sowie auf die Hermetik (wie innen so außen oder Mikro- Makrokosmos).
Die Vorstellung über den Aufbau unserer Erde stützen hier noch Polarforscher wie Cook , Amundsen, Jansen und Byrd. Alle standen dem gleichen wissenschaftlichen unerklärlichen Phänomenen gegenüber:
wärmer werdender Wind nach dem 76° Breitengrad
- Vögel, Füchse und andere Tiere ziehen, obwohl es dort angeblich kälter wird, Richtung Pole
Funde von grauem und buntem Schnee, stellten sich nach dem Auftauen als Vulkanasche und Blütenpollen heraus
ebenso wurden Mammuts entdeckt, deren Fleisch noch frisch und deren Mageninhalt mit frischem Gras gefüllt war
und sie sahen stellenweise 2 Sonnen (die Innere und Äußere)
Das neue (Schwaben) Land
Mitte November 1938, als die Vorbereitungen für eine Antarktis-Expedition in vollem Gange liefen, kam der amerikanische Antarktisforscher Richard Evelyn Byrd, auf Einladung der Polarschiffahrtsgesellschaft, nach Hamburg. Dort führte er in der Urania vor 82 anwesenden Personen einen Antarktisfilm vor. 54 von diesen Personen waren Mitglieder der Schiffsbesatzung und kamen zur Schulung und Vorbereitung auf diese Antarktis Expedition. Byrd hatte den Südpol 1929 fast überflogen. Im Jahre 1938 wurde dann eine deutsche Antarktis-Expedition mit einem Flugzeugträger, welcher den Namen Schwabenland trug, durchgeführt, der dem dort erschlossenen Land den Namen gab: NEUSCHWABENLAND.
Dieses Schiff konnte mit Hilfe von Dampfkatapulten 10 t schwere Flugzeuge in die Luft befördern.
Diese fortschrittliche Technik hat 1934 bereits von der Lufthansa für den Postverkehr mit Südamerika Verwendung gefunden. Im Herbst 1938 ist die Schwabenland in Hamburger Werften für eine Expedition antarktistauglich gemacht worden. Das allein verschlang die enorme Summe von 1 Mio. Reichsmark. Die Schwabenland verließ den Hafen von Hamburg am 17.12.1938 und erreichte das Ziel, die Antarktis am 19.01.1939 bei 4° 15W und 69° 10S.

Das Kommando dieser Expedition sollte Alfred Ritscher führen. Diese Expedition sollte durch Flugerkundung, luftphotogrammetrische Aufnahmen und Flaggenabwurf deutsche Ansprüche auf antarktischen Besitz begründen. Zu diesem Zweck wurde das Flugzeugmutterschiff (Schwabenland) am Rande der Antarktis im südatlantischen Ozean stationiert und durch Flüge ein über 600.000km² großes Gebiet erkundet, welches dann als Neuschwabenland gekennzeichnet wurde. Die beiden Flugboote Boreas und Passat überflogen mehrere Male das Gebiet.
Flugboot Boreas
Sie dokumentierten dieses mit über 11.000 Fotografien, die heute noch existieren. Diese Fotografien wurden mit Zeiss Reihenkameras RMM 38 gemacht
Es wurden Gebirge mit Gipfeln über 4000m Höhe und riesige eisfreie Flächen entdeckt, die mit Namen wie Wohltat-Massiv und Muehlig-Hoffmann-Gebirge bezeichnet wurden oder das Ritscher-Land das den Namen des Führer dieser Expedition, Alfred Ritscher bekam. Es wurde von einer noch erstaunlicheren Landschaft berichtet, die auf halbem Wege zwischen dem Wohltat-Massiv und den Eisklippen der Küste entdeckt wurde. Es war ein tiefliegendes, hügeliges Gebiet mit vielen Seen, das völlig schnee- und eisfrei ist. Die Seen wurden nach einem der Flugkapitäne Schirmacher-Seen genannt.

Überall im Gebiet von Neuschwabenland wurden Reichsfahnen aus Metall abgeworfen und Steckflaggen an der Nordküste gesetzt.

Nach dem damaligen Völkerrecht, welches heute noch mit einer kleinen Ausnahme gilt, war und ist dies ein legaler und gültiger Vorgang. Diese kleine Ausnahme sagt, daß heute nach internationalem Recht keine Gebietsansprüche in der Antarktis geltend gemacht werden können. Die Antarktis war zu geringen Teilen unter anderen Staaten aufgeteilt, es lebte dort keine Menschenseele und durch die Erforschung und die Abwürfe der Fahnen hat das deutsche Reich dort Handlungsfähigkeit bewiesen. Dadurch wurde eine völkerrechtliche wirksame Inbesitznahme begründet. Zu vergleichen mit der USA und dem Mond.
Die Inbesitznahme von Neuschwabenland wird heute in Deutschland von offiziellen Seiten geleugnet. Hier der Wortlaut einer Stellungnahme des Auswärtigen Amtes auf eine entsprechende Anfrage (1993):
Das frühe deutsche Reich hat Gebietsansprüche in der Antarktis nicht erhoben, und zwar auch nicht in Bezug auf das von der deutschen Antarktis-Expedition 1938/39 entdeckte Gebiet Neu-Schwabenland. Einer norwegischen Erklärung vom 14. Januar mit der ein größeres Gebiet in der Antarktis unter Einbeziehung von Neuschwabenland in Anspruch genommen wurde, hat die Reichsregierung am 23. Januar 1939 widersprochen und sich bezüglich des Gebietes die volle Handlungsfreiheit vorbehalten, die sich aus den Grundsätzen des Völkerrechts ergibt.
Konkrete Ansprüche auf das fragliche Gebiet hat das deutsche Reich allerdings weder damals noch später erhoben. Die Bundesregierung hat lediglich im Jahre 1952 das auf die Tatsache der Entdeckung gestützte Recht zur geographischen Namengebung für Neuschwabenland ausgeübt.
Aber was wollte dann das deutsche Reich mit ihren Flaggenabwürfen während der Antarktis-Expedition bezwecken, wenn nicht eine Inbesitznahme des antarktischen Gebietes? Denn berufend auf das Völkerrecht wäre dies eine regulärer Anspruch auf Neuschwabenland.
Zeitgleich mit dem Aufenthalt der deutschen Expeditionsgruppe in Neuschwabenland beanspruchte Norwegen das Koenigin-Maud-Land, also den Teil der Antarktis in dem auch Neuschwabenland liegt, durch eine königliche Resolution am 14.01.1939 für sich. Das Reichsaußenministerium unterrichtete daraufhin den norwegischen Gesandten in Berlin, daß die deutsche Regierung diese Besitzergreifung nicht anerkennen könnten. Norwegen führte als Beleg für seine Rechte auf das Koenigin-Maud-Land dessen Entdeckung und Erforschung an. Entdeckung und Erforschung eines Gebietes sichern dem Entdeckerstaat aber nicht für immer, sondern nur für einen kurzen Zeitraum die Erwerbsrechte zu. Der entdeckte Staat kann demnach jeden Versuch eines anderen Staates, dieses Land zu vereinnahmen, abwehren. Macht er dies nicht, verfällt der Gebietsanspruch des Entdeckerstaates. Da Norwegen nicht gegen das Ausbringen deutscher Hoheitszeichen auf dem von ihm beanspruchten Gebiet eingeschritten war, hat es die Entdeckungen und Erforschungen abgeleiteten Rechte zumindest für Neuschwabenland verwirkt.
Laut alten reichsdeutschen U-Bootkarten besteht die Antarktis aus zwei Teilkontinenten. Durch Tauchgänge jener U-Boote wurde dies während des Zweiten Weltkriegs herausgefunden. Was mit dem Walter-Antrieb kein Problem war. Der nach Prof. Walter benannte Walter-Antrieb wurde schon ab 1933 entwickelt. Das erste Versuchsboot V 80 erreichte schon bei der ersten Probefahrt eine Unterwassergeschwindigkeit von 26 kn, also fast 50 km/h, und übertraf damit die damals bis 9 kn übliche U-Bootgeschwindigkeit erheblich. Die Front war in Eiform beschaffen, wodurch das Wasser spiralförmig um die U-Boote gewendet wurde. Der untere Teil dieser Boote hatte die Form einer stehenden Acht, der Antrieb erfolgte mit Wasserstoffperoxid. Großadmiral Dönitz erklärte zu diesen Booten: Durch diese Typen war die Überlegenheit, die die (feindliche) Abwehr dem U-Boot gegenüber seit 1943 gewonnen hatte und die im wesentlichen auf der Überwasserortung mit Hilfe kürzester Wellen beruhte, ausgeschaltet. Das U-Boot blieb, für die Ortung nicht feststellbar, unter Wasser, operierte in schützender Tiefe und griff auch nur aus ihr heraus an.
Ebenfalls ermöglichte dieser sogenannte Walter-Schnorchel längere Strecken ohne auftauchen zu bewältigen.
Der Walter-Schnorchel
Die beiden Soldaten Siewert und Wehrend waren beide Teilnehmer der Antarktisexpedition im Jahre 1938/39. Sie berichteten, daß sie auch noch nach der Beendigung der Expedition, also im Frühjahr 1939 weiterhin auf dem Schiff Schwabenland Dienst machten und ihr Schiff im vierteljährlichen Rhythmus zwischen Neuschwabenland und Heimathafen pausenlos pendelte um Ausrüstungsgegenstände und ganze Bergbaueinrichtungen in die Antarktis zu befördern. Dazu gehörten auch Gleisanlagen und Loren, aber auch eine riesige Fräse, um Tunnelsysteme ins Eis bohren zu können.
Auf offizieller Seite wird berichtet, daß es keine reichsdeutschen U-Boote gibt, über deren Verbleib man auf alliierter Seite nichts wüßte. Es existieren sehr viele Berichte über Absetzung von reichsdeutschen U-Booten und deren Besatzungen, während und nach dem Krieg, nach Südamerika, Nordamerika und auch die Arktis und Antarktis. Daß man hierzulande noch nicht so viel darüber gehört hat, liegt einzig und allein daran, daß fast alle Unterlagen sämtlicher Kommandobehörden, Stäbe, Flottillen und U-Boote, nach dem 2. Weltkrieg in die Hände der Alliierten (speziell England) fielen und sich zum großen Teil noch dort befinden.
Dennoch bleiben hunderte von U-Booten, die offiziell ausliefen, aber nicht versenkt wurden oder in Gefangenschaft gerieten, wie vom Erdboden verschluckt. Ebenso könnte es sich mit vielen erfolgreichen Ingenieuren, Wissenschaftlern, Medizinern und Technikern zugetragen haben, welche sicher nicht alle den Alliierten in die Hände fielen.
Eine der bemerkenswertesten Aussagen zur Expedition Neuschwabenland kam von Admiral Karl Dönitz, dem Oberkommandierenden der deutschen Marine und schließlich Hitlers Nachfolger, als er sagte:
Die deutsche U-Boot Flotte ist stolz darauf, daß sie für den Führer in einem anderen Teil der Welt ein Shangri-La gebaut hat, eine uneinnehmbare Festung.
Obwohl die Briten die Drake Passage an der südlichen Spitze Südamerikas schützten, blieben Neuschwabenland und seine Küstenlinie von den Alliierten unberührt.
Ausgedehnte Erforschungen mit U-Booten in der Gegend ergaben, daß ein unterseeischer Graben vor Neuschwabenland bis zum anderen Ende des Kontinents verläuft. Man fand heraus, daß der Graben vulkanischen Ursprungs ist. Als die deutschen Forscher ihm folgten entdeckten sie warme Seen, Höhlen, Gletscherspalten und Eistunnel.
Die Theorie, daß sich eine Elite aus dem 3. Reich anhand modernster Technologie (U-Boote, ...) in die Antarktis abgesetzt hat, wird noch erhärtet wenn man die Bemühungen der Alliierten betrachtet, welche durch die Operation Highjump in Neuschwabenland landen wollten. Schaut man sich die offizielle Erklärungen zu dieser Operation an so heißt es einmal Material- und Mannschaftserprobung unter polaren Voraussetzungen, oder die von Dr. Paul A. Siple vermutete tiefgreifende Veränderung der Schelfeisküste in der Bay of Whales (Ross Sea) festzustellen. Inoffiziellen Berichten zufolge hieß der Leiter der Operation Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Derselbe Byrd der 9 Jahre zuvor noch einen Antarktis-Vortrag in Hamburg hielt.
Im Winter 1946/47 unternahm die US-Navy eine Expedition in die Antarktis. Diese Operation sah vor, daß der Expeditionskonvoi, bestehend aus Schiffen und Flugzeugen, sich in drei Gruppen teilte. Byrds sogenannte Mittelgruppe sollte die Scott-Inseln ansteuern und in Little America eine Basisstation samt Flugfeld, damit man von dort aus Erkundungsflüge in das Innere der Antarktis unternehmen konnte. Während dessen Hatte die Ost- bzw. die Westgruppe die Aufgabe die antarktische Küste zu erkunden. Es war der 21.01.1947, als der Expeditionskonvoi die Antarktis erreichte und die Männer an Bord ihrer Schiffe mit ihrer Arbeit begannen. Am 13. Februar war man soweit, bei der Byrd-Gruppe, um die Flüge ins Landesinnere zu starten. Aber schon 3 Wochen später, am 03.03.1947, ordnete Admiral Byrd den Rückzug an, weil mehrere Flugzeuge spurlos verschwunden waren. Der Rückzug erfolgte derart überhastet, daß neun Flugzeuge im ewigen Eis zurückgelassen wurden.
An der Operation Highjump waren 13 amerikanische Schiffe beteiligt, darunter Flugzeugträger, Zerstörer, Eisbrecher, ein U-Boot und 15 schwere Transportflugzeuge und Fernaufklärer und 4000 Mann. Einer der Piloten hieß Leutnant D. Bunger. Er sah als erster das, was heute seinen Namen trägt: Die Bunger-Oase. Sie gilt als eine der eigentümlichsten und schönsten Landschaft der Antarktis. Sie ist für polare Verhältnisse ungewöhnlich schwer zugängig. Obwohl sie von der Küstenlinie nicht allzu weit entfernt liegt und mit fast 200 km² Fläche eigentlich nicht übersehen werden kann, entdeckten sie die Amerikaner erst während der ByrdExpedition. Die Bunger-Oase ist eisfrei und weist durch eine erhöhte Strahlungsbilanz des freiliegenden Gesteins im Vergleich zur Umgebung ein sehr mildes Mikroklima auf. Sie hat mehrere Süßwasserseen die oft das Südliche farbenfroh reflektieren.
Admiral Byrd nimmt zu der strategischen Wichtigkeit der Pole Stellung, denen er enorme Bedeutung zumißt. Er hob die Notwendigkeit hervor in Alarmzustand und Wachsamkeit entlang des gesamten Eisgürtels, der das letzte Bollwerk gegen eine Invasion sei zu bleiben, ..das Überleben der Menschheit wie das der militärischen Wissenschaft befinden sich augenblicklich in einer lebenswichtigen Phase der Entwicklung...
Da stellen sich aber erneut viele Fragen. Wenn es kein militärisches Interesse an Neuschwabenland gab wieso benötigte Byrd Zerstörer und Flugzeugträger mit fünfzehn schweren Transportflugzeugen? Sicher nicht für das Equipment. Anderen Quellen nach sollen bei Highjump mehrere Länder wie England, Norwegen, Rußland und Kanada mit Schiffen dabei gewesen sein. Wieso wurde die Expedition mit reichlich Verlust auf Seiten der Alliierten, schon nach 2 Wochen und nicht wie vereinbart nach 3 Monaten, frühzeitig beendet? Wieso wurde laut Flugkarten des Admiral Byrd bei seiner Expedition am Südpol, Neuschwabenland als einziger Flecken der Antarktis unbehelligt gelassen? (BILD) Wieso erfolgte im September des Jahres 1979 am 5. März des Jahres 1986, Atomtests und darüber hinaus im norwegischen Sektor der Antarktis ?

In 1947 Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal sent a naval task force to Antarctic including Admiral Nimitz, Admiral Krusen and Admiral Byrd, called "Operation Highjump". It was touted to be an expedition to find "coal deposits" and other valuable resources, but in actuality they were trying to find the underground base of the nazis (aryans) in Neuschwabenlandt. The nazis had done a very detailed study of Antarctic and were alleged to have built an underground base there.
In this regard however, the aryans have had an underground habitation in Antarctic for more than a million years.The task force of OVER 40 SHIPS, included the flagship "Mount Olympus", the aircraft carrier "Philipine Sea", the seaplane tender "Pine Sea", the submarine "Senate", the destroyer "Bronson", the ice breaker "Northwind", and other tanker and supply ships. An armed contingent of 1400 sailors, and three dog sled teams were also on board.
The expedition was filmed by the Navy and brought to Hollywood to be made into a commercial film called "The Secret Land". It was narrated by Hollywood actor Robert Montgomery (Naval reserve Officer) .There were three divisions of Operation High Jump: one land group with tractors, explosives, and plenty of equipment to refurbish "Little America", and make an airstrip to land the six R-4D's (DC-3's), and two seaplane groups. The R4-D's were fitted with jet-assist takeoff bottles (JATO) in order to takeoff from the short runway of the aircraft carrier "Philipine Sea". They also were fitted with large skis for landing on the ice field prepared for them. The skis were specially fitted at three inches above the surface of the carrier deck. When landing on the ice at "Little America" the three inches of tire in contact with the snow and ice provided just enough and not too much drag for a smooth landing.
Admiral Byrd's team of six R4-D's were fitted with the super secret "Trimetricon" spy cameras and each plane was trailing a magnetometer. They flew over as much of the continent as they could in the short three month "summer" period, mapping and recording magnetic data. Magnetometers show anomalies in the Earth's magnetism, i.e. if there is a "hollow" place under the surface ice or ground, it will show up on the meter.
On the last of many "mapping" flights where all six planes went out, each on certain pre-ordained paths to film and "measure" with magnetometers, Admiral Byrd's plane returned THREE HOURS LATE.
It was stated that he had "lost an engine" and had had to throw everything overboard except the films themselves and the results of magnetometer readings in order to maintain altitude long enough to return to Little America.
This is most certainly the time when he met with representatives of the aryans and a contingent of nazis.The task force came steaming back with their data which then became classified "top secret". Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal retired and started to "talk". He was put in Bethesda Naval Hospital psychiatric ward where he was prevented from seeing or talking to anyone, including his wife! after a short while he was thrown out the window while trying to hang himself with a bedsheet. It was ruled a suicide, case closed. He was telling people about the underground aryan base.

From Mu To Thule
And the Inner Earth
A Journey Into the
Theoretical Past
Gerry Forster
In this article, I ask the reader to accompany me upon an intriguing journey through the dimly-remembered, faintly-recorded archaic world of our ancient ancestors. We shall be guided by some of those great imaginative visionaries who tirelessly endeavoured to fill in some of the blanks pages of the legendary past history of this mysterious world of ours. Much of what had virtually faded away into pure myth has been steadily fleshed-out again down the centuries by Greek and Roman scholars like Plato, Herodatus and Tacitus; intrepid explorer-archaeologists like James Churchward, Percy H. Fawcett, and Heinrich Schliemann, and mystic-explorers like Nicholas Roerich and Theodore Illion. Theosophists and philosophers like Helena Blavatsky, W. Scott-Elliot and Rudolph Steiner, and even gifted seers like Edgar Cayce, have also played their part.
Nor should we overlook the input of such authorities on Thule and the Aryan race as Julius Evola and Joscelyn Godwin, or researchers into hidden underground and inner earth empires such as Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Saint-Yves and even the Nazi historian, Miguel Serrano. Polar explorers like Sir George Wilkins, Fridjof Nansen and Richard E. Byrd also have their input to make on matters Borealic. Nor is the inspired fiction of famed writers Verne, Poe and Rice Burroughs overlooked for its useful contribution in fanning the flames of imagination that have revitalized this almost fogotten part of the worlds history.
A great deal has been recorded and written about such great empires and nations as ancient Egypt, Greece, Troy, Rome, Assyria, Persia and even India, Tibet and China, but here I seek to remind the reader of the more esoteric and archaic empires of Mu, Atlantis, Osiria, Hyperborea, and Agharta. The ancient empires from which these later and better-known ones were originally born! Thus our partly-proven - partly-theoretical journey begins with the tropical paradise of ancient Mu and takes us via a tortuous route to the polar paradise of Hyperborean Thule, and thence to the Interior World which lies hidden just beyond!
Let us then set forth on our travels through the mists of time with open minds and the readiness to acquire whatever wisdom and knowledge our individual minds are willing to accept as we go!
The Lost Continent Of Mu
In 1868, Colonel James Churchward, who was then a serving officer in the British Army in India, befriended the high priest of an Indian temple, who showed him several sets of ancient, inscribed clay tablets which had lain concealed in the temple vaults for many centuries, unread and neglected by most of the temple priests down the ages.
With the aid of his new-found friend, Churchward learned how to decipher the ancient Naacal tablet inscriptions. As Churchward translated them, and grasped vast fund of information they contained, he realized that he had stumbled upon the amazing history of a long-lost continent which had been the first great civilization on the Earth. They told of a huge civilization that had arisen, flourished and decayed long before any of those known to modern scholars! It was the great continent of Mu, the Motherland of all the races of the Earth!
For long years, Churchward followed the trail of this mysterious new civilization to the far ends of the earth, piecing together the many parts of a vast jigsaw. Then, as he steadily acquired more and more pieces of information and carefully fitted them into place,.a marvellous picture began to form. A stunning picture of a vast, lost Pacific continent and its original inhabitants gradually came together. The final result of Churwards immense labour was his amazing book: The Lost Continent of Mu.
Sadly, after its first publication in 1926, Churchwards book attracted a lot of ridicule and criticism from the archaeological scholars of his day, and very few of them took his findings and theories seriously. It was regarded more as wild fiction than a serious scientific study. But today fortunately, we live in a less narrow-minded society, and many such monumental works as Churchwards are being taken considerably more seriously, as outmoded old dogmas are being overturned by the new findings of more enlightened scientific researchers. Of course, that isnt to say that we need necessarily subscribe entirely to his idea of Mu being one huge mid-Pacific continent, since, like the idea of Atlantis being a huge mid-Atlantic continent, it cant be supported by the findings of modern submarine exploration and geological investigation.
However, from my own study of bathymetric maps and charts of the Pacific ocean floor, there does seem to be reasonable geological support for there having once been a number of large and long islands forming a series of ridges across the Pacific, which could have become submerged through tectonic activity into the ocean floor of the Pacific. It is known to be a highly unstable region, surrounded by the so-called Ring of Fire of volcanoes, and earthquake-prone regions where tectonic plates rub against each other, and the Pacific ocean-bed is dotted with chains of sea-mounts, many of which are volcanic, as well as deep cracks and rifts known as trenches. Also, churchwards concept of underground Gas-Chambers collapsing or imploding in upon themselves after losing their supporting internal gas pressure sounds entirely feasible to me.
Its not unreasonable, therefore, to place a certain degree of credence in Churchwards assertion that there has been a great amount of rising and sinking in such an unstable sea-bed, and that, in the fairly recent geological past, many of the current island-chains could have stood much higher above sea-level, to form continuous mountainous ridges stretching across a good deal of the western half, if not two-thirds, of the Pacific. As mentioned, Ive taken the trouble (as any reader should) to closely study the latest depictions of the Pacific Ocean bed as it would appear without water, and I find that there is certainly an entirely plausible case to made for the various island-chains having once actually been continuous, above-water ridges of dry land stretching for anything between a thousand miles to two thousand miles in length! The Midway and Hawaiian Island group in the North Pacific, that form the undersea Hawaiian Ridge, is a typical example of what I mean. They would have formed a connection to the Line Island Ridge via the Mid-Pacific Ridge, and thus down to other ridges of contiguous island-chains in the South Pacific.
Following this line of thought, one can easily see how there could very well have been an interconnected or easily-reached group of land-ridges extending all the way from Japan and the East Indies, right across to Pitcairn Island, or even Easter Island, in the south, the Marquesas nearer the equator, and Hawaii itself in the north. Nor should we ignore the submerged South Eastern Pacific Plateau in this consideration, which runs almost north-north-east, toward the west coast of Central America, in the midst of which we find Easter Island. From there, its only a distance of under two thousand miles or so to the Peruvian coastline. This would have been a comfortable sail for such an empire of seafarers as the people of Mu must surely have been, according to Churchwards theory!
However, apart from this leaning of Churchward toward the need for a huge super-continent to occupy a good half the Pacific Ocean area, I personally find his general basic theory quite intriguing, especially since it fits in well with so many other strange anomalies regarding the origins and movements of various ancient peoples - including both the Atlanteans and the Naacal Ramans, besides the three principal races of humanity. Perhaps if Churchward had only had access to the knowledge we now possess of the geology and topography of the ocean floors, his continent-proposition would have been appropriately modified, and might have met with a far better reception than it did from the scholars of his day. However, having hopefully helped his premise become a little more realistic and feasible, I should now define some of the points of interest in his Mu concept.
Why Did Churchward Search for Mu?
As we saw previously, the whole thing was triggered off by the old high priest of the Indian college temple, which was obviously a remnant off-shoot of the Holy Brotherhood of the ancient Naacals. Had he not spoken about this amazing 50,000 years old civilization with its 64 million inhabitants to Churchward, Mu might well have completely disappeared from human memory long ago. Instead, having befriended Churchward, and found him to be a seeker after esoteric knowledge, the old high priest eventually allowed Churchward access to the precious tablets which had been loving preserved mostly intact for nearly fifty millennia.
If it hadnt been a time of great famine in India in 1868, and had Churchward not been assisting in famine relief (courtesy of the British Army), the two would never have met, and the story would never have come to light. Such are the curious twists of fortune and circumstance which direct our destinies! As I said at the outset, once Churchward saw the ancient tablets, he was well and truly hooked, and Mu became the driving obsession of his life thereafter. He felt totally compelled to unearth the proof of this amazing story, or die in the attempt!
For two full years, he studied with the old priest, learning how to decipher the bass-relief characters upon the clay tablets, that had been written either in Burma or actually in Mu itself by ancient Naacal priestly scholars. The tablets he studied were, in fact, only a few fragments of what had once been a vast collection, and these had been rescued from one of the old seven Rishi cities which were the centres of learning in the old Rama Empire in ancient India! After many months of intense study of the tablets (including having to repair many that had been broken in packing or transit) Churchward eventually began to crack the code. His efforts were justified when he discovered that they described in detail the creation of the Earth and of the appearance of Man - in the land of Mu! When he realized the enormous significance of his discovery In the elucidation of that eternal problem (the origin of mankind and his races), Churchward set off to Burma, armed with introductory letters from the Indian priests, in the fond hope of finding more of the tablets. Sadly, he was rebuffed by the Buddhist priests there, who told him to go back to India and Ask those thieves who stole them to show them to you!
Undaunted however, he decided to make a study of the writings of all the ancient civilizations of the old world, to compare them with the legends he had discovered about Mu from the clay tablets. And this he did, only to discover that they were all preceded by the Civilization of Mu.
During his studies, he learned that the Lost Continent had extended from north of Hawaii southward as far as Fiji and Easter Island, and was undoubtedly the original (earthly) habitat of man. He learned that this beautiful land of smiling plenty had produced the people that colonized the Earth, and that it had been obliterated by terrific earthquakes and submersion 12,000 years ago, and had vanished in a vortex of fire and water! Subsequently, he traced the same story to India, where colonists from Mu had settled: from India into Egypt; from Egypt to the temple of Sanai (Sinai?), where Moses copied it; and from Moses to the faulty translations of Ezra, 800 years later. The plausibility of this will be apparent even to those who have not studied the subject carefully, when they see the close resemblance between the story of the creation as we know it and the tradition that originated in Mu.
Sadly, space will not permit me to recount here all that Churchward, aided by his priestly mentor, deciphered from the tablets. I can only suggest that the interested reader get the book for himself from the local public library, if he desires to see all Churchwards rather bewilderingly detailed accounts and his profuse accompanying illustrations. I must confine myself to his general theory and the story he culled from the tablets. Sufficient be it to say that the first two tablets proved to be the key that unlocked the secrets of all the rest. Certainly, according to Churchward, the first tablets gave a creative story that is very similar indeed to that set forth in the Hebrew Book of Genesis, up to the making of man after our own fashion, and let us endow him with powers to rule this earth.
This rather jars against the Hebrew version with regard to the creation of Adam, as does the final creative verse, Then Narayana, the Seven Headed Intellect, the Creator of all things throughout the universe, created man, and placed within his body a living imperishable spirit, and man became like Narayana in intellectual power. Then was creation complete. Since Churchward was allegedly a devout Christian, I can hardly conceive of him attempting to forge a fraudulent version and sell his own soul for the sake of notoriety! Unfortunately, this rather sinister-looking Seven-Headed Intellect (which is depicted in his book as a giant cobra with seven rather nasty-looking heads) sounds uncomfortably similar to the Seven-Headed Beast that comes out of the sea, in the Biblical Book of Revelation, even though that entity from Hell is depicted as a seven-headed leopard-like creature).
There were seven creative commands, which indicated seven periods of time, but were not measured by any specific number of years, or days as in the Bible story of Creation. According to Churchward, the account simply stated that the creation took seven periods of time - not six days as in the Biblical legend. He goes on to add that legends of the Creation are prevalent among many peoples throughout the world, and in all instances he found much of the material identical. The only conclusion Churchward could draw was that they were all of a common origin, and had their genesis in Mu!
Churchward then sets about proving the actual existence of Mu. Firstly via the Naacal tablets, then he mentions records written in Maya, Egypt and India, which recount the destruction of Mu: when the earths crust was broken up by earthquakes and then sank into a fiery abyss. Then the waters of the Pacific rolled in over her, leaving only water where a mighty civilization had existed.
Secondly, he points out that there is ample confirmation of Mu in other ancient manuscripts, like the Hindu Ramanyana epic mentioned earlier, as told by Narraté, the high priest of the Rishi Temple at Ayhodya. At one point, mention is made of the Naacals coming to Burma from the land of their birth in the East - which is the direction of the Pacific. Mention is also made of Mu in the Troano Manuscript, an ancient Mayan book, written in Yucatan, and now in the British Museum. It refers to The Land of Mu using the same symbols as were found in Egypt, India and Burma. Yet another Mayan book as old as the Troano Manuscript - The Codex Cortesianus also mentions Mu as does a Tibetan book in Lhasa, and as also do scores of other ancient records from Egypt, Greece, Central America, Mexico and even the Anasazi cliff-inscriptions in the southern USA!
Thirdly, there are many existing ruins on the South Sea islands, such as Easter Island, Mangiaia, Tonga, Ponape and the Marianas Islands, which seem to hark back to the time of Mu. Whilst at Uxmal, in Yucatan, there is an inscription upon an ancient ruined temple which commemorates The Lands of The West, whence we came - and a pyramid south west of Mexico city was built, according to its inscriptions, in memory of the destruction of these Lands of The West.
Fourthly, Churchward found that there was a universality of certain ancient symbols and customs which were to be found in various ancient lands such as Egypt, Burma, India, Japan, China, the South Sea Islands, Central and South America, as well as among the aboriginal tribes of North America. They were so identical that it seemed certain that they all came from only one source - Mu!
Churchwards Description of Mu.
From all the diverse sources at his disposal, Chuchward was able to form a picture of his great Muvian continent. He described it as a vast stretch of rolling country, extending from north of Hawaii, down towards the south. A line between Easter Island and the Fijis formed its southern boundary. It was over 5,000 miles from east to west, and over 3,000 miles from north to south. The continent consisted of three* areas of land, divided from each other by narrow channels or seas. (*Which seems to fit in with my own suggestion of the land of Mu actually being a series of ridges, separated by stretches of ocean, rather than one complete and solid continental mass.) He then goes on to describe Mu as it was, according to the various records he had studied. It was beautiful tropical land with huge plains. Its plains and valleys were covered in rich grazing grass and cultivated fields, whilst the low rolling hill-lands were verdant with luxuriant growths of verdant tropical vegetation. No mountains or mountain ranges stretched themselves through this earthly paradise to give an irregular, jagged, yet soft and graceful skyline. Mountains had not yet been forced up from the bowels of the earth. Here I find myself more than a little perplexed, since Churchward has already spoken of the Pacific Islands as being part of this continent, and the South Sea Islands as already being extant!
But let us continue to follow his idyllic description a little further: The great rich land was intersected and watered by many broad, slow-running streams and rivers, which wound their sinuous ways in fantastic curves and bends around the wooded hills and through fertile plains. Luxuriant vegetation covered the whole land with a soft, pleasing, restful mantle of green. bright and fragrant flowers on tree and shrub added colour and finish to the landscape. Tall fronded palms fringed the oceans shores and lined the banks of the rivers for many miles inland... He goes on in his prosy style to remark upon feathery ferns and shallow lakes bejewelled with sacred lotus flowers in emerald green settings and of gaudy-winged butterflies and tiny humming-birds....glistening like living jewels in the rays of the sun.
However, he eventually waxes less poetic, and gets down to cases regarding the lifeforms of Mu He goes on to tell us that mighty mastodons and elephants roamed the primeval forests of Mu, and that the human population of the continent was 64,000,000 people. (or roughly the current population of the Philippines). There was a great network of broad, smooth roads running in all directions, laid with smooth stones, so perfectly matched that no grass could grow between them! (Shades of the masonry of the Mayans!) The population was made up of ten tribes or peoples, each distinct from the others, but all under one, single government. Could these have been different racial groups? If so how can we split the basic three into ten? Five races are about as many as one can reasonably go, without getting into purely national groupings! However, these were apparently all of one nation. The only other meaning could be similar to that which applied to the twelve tribes of Israel, but in what way were these Muians distinct from each other? Surely this must imply colour or racially physical differences?
The Empire of The Sun.
However, to move on. They evidently had an emperor who bore the title of Ra Mu and the term Ra also represented their common Deity, an unseen God, whose name. (like the Hebrews) they were not allowed to speak, except through a symbol. This symbol was Ra The Sun which represented the Deitys attributes. As their High Priest as well as their Emperor, Ra Mu was the human representative of their Deity in all religious matters. However, everyone understood that Ra Mu was not to be worshipped, as he was only a figurehead - perhaps as Christ is a figurehead for Jahweh? The people of Mu were highly civilized and intellectual. There was no savagery on the face of the earth, nor had there ever been. They were completely united under the sole sovereignty of their motherland - Mu, The Empire of The Sun and its laws and regulations.
Churchward goes on to mention that the white people were the dominant group on Mu, and in all probability, represented the priestly and patrician class of its population. Besides these, he goes on to say, rather enigmatically, that there were people of other races - people with yellow, brown or black skins. They, however, did not dominate. This he culled from the Lhasa Record, among many others. According to these ancient manuscripts, the Muvians were great navigators and sailed all over the world - much as the Atlanteans are purported to have done, being also a great maritime nation. They were also reputed to have been great builders, too; another thing they had in common with the Atlanteans! (One is compelled to wonder whether these two groups, the Muvians and the Atlanteans were very closely related, or even simply two sides of the same coin, as it were!)
The Lhasa Record also mentions that there were seven principal cities, which were the seats of religion, science and learning in Mu, scattered across the three lands (or ridges?), This relates very closely to the seven Rishi cities of the subsequent Rama Empire which ruled India, and must obviously have been the original paradigm for that powerful nation, who were said to have come from Mu. Its interesting to contemplate the close similarity between Ra Mu and Rama, and, of course, the connection of the Sun-god name, Ra, both in Mu and later in Egypt, needs little or no explanation! So it is evident that Mu must have had great colonial as well as commercial interests around much of the ancient world. In fact, the Lhasa and other records are reported to state, categorically, that Muvian colonies had been set up in all parts of the world. (I believe, as Ive mentioned previously, that the Atlanteans themselves came from Mu to begin with, and were probably originally a colony of that nation until they seceded from this Empire of The Sun! Surely, there are just too many similarities and parallels between the two nations for it to have possibly been otherwise!)
From what can be gleaned from these records and Churchwards interpretation of events, it would seem that there were various exoduses of large groups of people of different races from Mu, during its long duration, and before its final destruction. As I have mentioned in another article, a large contingent of the black population are said to have left Mu to seek a new homeland for themselves in Africa, and it appears that they travelled there by way of the then Amazonian Sea, which once filled the huge basin that is today the area occupied by the Amazon jungle. Apparently this must have been prior to the upthrusting of the Andes - an event that took place in the time of the forebears of the Mayans and Incas - as a canal led from the western coast of Peru into this inland sea, which was partly open to the Atlantic on its eastern side.
This isnt so unreasonable to accept, when one considers that Lake Titicaca, which is now 13,000 feet above sea-level has the remnants of a man-made canal-sea-way running out of its western side, which once connected directly into the Pacific - at sea-level ! The uplifting of the mountain chains was by no means confined to pre-human geological eras!
No doubt there were many other exoduses of groups of people, who for one reason or another, elected to set up their own separate nations elsewhere on the earth, outside of the jurisdiction of the Empire of The Sun. There are always dissidents and malcontents in even the best-run countries, as well as people of a pioneering and independent spirit.
It was probably such a group who settled in the northern part of America and became the forerunners of the Red Men. (I personally agree with Churchward, when he comments that too many scientists have vastly overrated the Bering Land Bridge and an alleged mass-migration of Mongoloids into America, via the Aleutians and Alaska! With him, I also believe that the indigenous natives of America were never Mongols!)
The Destruction of Mu.
The final destruction of Mu came with disastrous suddenness. Although there had been a danger-signal of sorts a couple of centuries earlier, in the southern region, when a great earthquake struck without warning, accompanied by volcanic outbursts (explosions of subterranean gas-chambers?) and huge tidal waves. The people eventually recovered from the shock and had rebuilt the ruined cities and resumed their trade.
This time, however, it was the real thing. According to the ancient Troano Manuscript, the entire continent (or all three sectors of it) was suddenly shaken by mighty earthquakes, and rolled and heaved like the oceans waves. The land trembled and shook like the leaves of a tree in a storm. Temples and palaces came crashing to the ground and monuments and statues were overturned. The cities became heaps of ruins.... It then goes on to recount how the land rose and fell, quivered and shook, and that the fires of the underneath * burst forth, piercing the clouds in roaring flames, three miles in diameter! (* No doubt Churchwards much scorned gas-chambers. GF)
Then follows a general description of the sheer living hell that Mu became, under a thick pall of black smoke, with enormous tidal waves rolling in across the plains, destroying everything before them. The agonized cries of the people filled the air as the red sun sank angrily below the dark horizon. Mu, save us! During that hideous night, which was rent by huge lightning flashes and thunderous roarings, the doomed land sank into a great abyss of fire. Flames shot up around and enveloped her......Mu and sixty-four million people were sacrificed!
As Mu sank into the gulf of fire, says Churchward, another force claimed her - fifty millions of square miles of water. From all sides huge waves or walls of water came rolling in over her. They met where once was the centre of the land (or lands?). Here they seethed and boiled. In this manner was the continent of Mu destroyed. For nearly 13,000 years, the destruction of this great civilization cast a heavy pall of darkness over the greater part of the earth....
Churchward then goes on to explain how, after the cataclysm, ridges and points of land here and there, remained protruding out of the water, and these were thus made into islands, which were very jagged and broken by the volcanic activity beneath them. All of them were covered by such people as had escaped the sinking of Mu, which was now a seething and steaming bed of muddy water all around them. The waters gradually settled and became calm and rested as if satisfied by their grim work of destruction, and this is the Pacific Ocean. Was ever a name more ironically applied to anything on earth?
Descent Into Savagery.
Then follows a woeful description of the pitiful plight of these survivors, who had been left destitute of all their shelter, clothing, tools -and, above all else - of food. It was amid this dreadful scene of steaming waters and clouds of drifting ash and smoke, that most of them perished, and those few who remained took their first step backward into the dark depths of savagery as they finally found themselves having to resort to cannibalism in order to survive!
This was but the beginning of a deep descent into the lowest state of humanity, which was to remain a traditional way of life in the Pacific region for thousands of years to come. Cannibalism was still rife in many of the Pacific islands, even during my own lifetime in the early to mid-1900s!
The Legacy of Mu.
However, although Mu herself was no more, her splendid civilization continued on for several generations in her colonies, before eventually fading away due to lack of cohesive central support from the vanished motherland. No doubt, we owe much of our modern civilization today, to that ancient Motherland in the Pacific Ocean, by way of the various great civilizations which she spawned first in Atlantis, then India, the Americas, China, Egypt, and finally, in Greece and Rome.
It would seem that many of the inventions and skills that were common to the Muvians and Atlanteans, are now simply being re-discovered by modern man, who probably still has a great deal yet to re-learn - if indeed he is willing to also learn from the mistakes of the past, and thus avoid having to repeat them!
Of course, Churchward had much more to say about Mu, but I think this potted version of his findings should be sufficient for the purposes of this particular thesis. However, one cant help but pause and wonder what Churchward would have made of those gigantic, stepped underwater monuments of Yonaguni! Now let us move on to consider other interesting speculations on the origins and history of our human species!
Lemuria.
Lemuria was an alleged lost continent that supposedly lay between the east coast of Africa and the south west of India. It was so named by the English zoologist, Philip L. Sclater, as a possible home of the alleged Missing Link between humans and the anthropoid apes. It was believed that Africa and India had, at one time in the distant past, been linked to each other and to Madagascar and South East Asia. This was by some sort of land-bridge, a now-sunken isthmus which permitted the pro-simians (lemurs, bush-babies, pottos and lorises) to migrate freely between the two lands. (Lemurs, it should be added, are a species of small, agile, arboreal mammals, somewhere between monkeys and squirrels, although they are actually closely related to the former and are officially classified as primates.)
The Continent That Never Was?
During the 1860s, pro-Darwinian zoologists believed that such an isthmus or land-bridge could account for the strange isolation of the pro-simians in these widely-separated locations. Further scientific interest was aroused in the 1870s when a German scientist, Ernst Haekel proposed that this same missing continent might also have been the true origin of humanity. Sadly, before the real truth of the situation had been discovered - that Africa and India had once been joined together, before splitting apart, and thus allowing India to move northward by continental drift - various leading occultists had seized upon this idea of Lemuria being the origin of the first men, and had developed some weird and wonderful ideas of how humans had developed.
Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, the famous psychic and occultist, who founded the Theosophical Society, claimed to have had contact through psychic means with the Brotherhood of Mahatmas (a group of ethereal beings who purported to run the world from their Tibetan headquarters), and that, among other amazing things, they had revealed the true emergence of life on the earth. Without going into the subject too deeply, she was told that there are seven Root Races of beings destined to occupy the earth, and that we present-day humans are the Fifth such Race. After us, there are still two more yet to come. Apparently, the Sixth will evolve out of us and go back to occupy Lemuria, then the Seventh and final Root Race will leave this planet altogether and start over again upon the planet Mercury! (All Ill say about that is Good luck to them, and I hope they remember to take their fireproof underwear!)
To complicate matters even further, each Root Race is said to be composed of seven Sub-Races - the descendants of a Sub-Race of the Fourth Race (who were fully- human Atlanteans) are alleged to be the Australian Aborigines, the Papuans and the Hottentots!
According to the fanciful Madame Blavatsky, some Lemurians had four arms, whilst others had eyes in the backs of their heads which gave them psychic vision. These curious creatures also communicated by telepathy and could move mountains by sheer will-power alone - despite the fact that they possessed no regular brains, as we understand them! The whole thing sounds like such a farrago of utter nonsense that its hard to believe anyone could possibly subscribe to such a wild concept. And yet, strange as it may seem, she seems to have attracted quite a large following around the world!
Whilst I would dearly love to expand further upon this weird cult, I must keep this account on a fairly basic level, and say that Lemuria is supposed to have occupied nearly the entire Southern Hemisphere, extending from the foothills of the Himalayas almost to the shores of Antarctica, as well as up most of the central Atlantic! Madame Blavatsky died in 1891, and her successor, Annie Besant, continued her work and wrote extensively about Lemuria and its curious inhabitants, as also did another leading British theosophist, W. Scott-Elliot.
He managed to fill out the Lemurian concept considerably with the help of the ethereal Theosophic Masters in Tibet, and wrote a definitive book, The Story of Atlantis and The Lost Lemuria which was published in 1896, and illustrated with six world-maps which showed its stages of development, supplied by the Tibetan Mahatma Masters. I wont even attempt to describe his work here, or that of Madame Blatavsky:The Secret Doctrine , which was published in 1888, and is still to be found by diligent seekers! Scott-Elliots fantastic book reads like super-science-fiction - which it probably is - but it certainly makes for entertaining reading! I can only recommend that readers find it for themselves, and make up their own minds! (The first few chapters should suffice to convince most readers!)
On a slightly more modern note, still other new and fantastic details have been revealed. On May 22nd, 1932, a reporter named Edward Lanser, of the Los Angeles Times, claimed to have spied upon a settlement of Lemurians whom he discovered living on the slopes of Mount Shasta, in northern California! His attention had first been drawn to them whilst on board the night train from California to Oregon, when he noticed some strange coloured lights up on Mount Shasta as they passed by it. The conductor told Lanser that it was Just them Lemurians holding some ceremony. This intrigued him sufficiently to compel him to explore the mountain to find these strange beings, whom hed been told were the last descendants of the first inhabitants of the earth!
In the small town of Weed, close to the mountain, Lanser learned that the Lemurians held their ceremonies both in day-time and night-time, but no one had ever been able to penetrate the colonys sacred precincts. However, there was one local scientist who had found out more about the Lemurians than anyone else, and constantly watched them from his private mountain-top observatory by means of a high-powered astronomical telescope. This was Professor Edgar Larkin, a local celebrity. He said he had observed a splendid temple in the midst of their secret hideout, carved out of marble and onyx, which rivalled even the great Mayan temples of Yucatan. The locals, athough scared of trespassing on the Lemurians obviously sacred territory, claimed that they seemed a friendly and peaceable community, who were simply endeavouring to live the same lifestyle as their forebears had, before their homeland sank under the ocean.
In his newspaper articles, Lanser reported that the local villagers had often met the these Lemurians, and had described them as being tall, barefoot, noble-looking men, with close-cropped hair and dressed in spotless white robes. They were well liked in the village as they purchased large amounts of sulphur, salt and lard, paying handsomely for these goods with large nuggets of gold which they mined within Mount Shasta.
Was it all a Hoax?
The biggest mystery concerning this curious Lemurian community was how they had gone undetected for so long. Lanser explained this in his amazing account. He stated that they possessed the secret powers of the Tibetan Masters, which allowed them to surround their hamlet with an invisible protective boundary to keep out intruders. (Possibly some form of deflector beam). He also stated that their knowledge of science was far greater than that of ordinary humans, and although they (or perhaps their ancestors?) had lived in America - which they called Gustama - for several hundreds of thousands of years, they still remembered their original homeland in the strange ceremonies which they held on the mountains slopes. However, those people who had hitherto set some credence in Lansers reports were sadly disappointed.
Other investigators were totally unable to find any trace of the strange enclave and its equally strange occupants, who either existed only in Lansers mind, or were rendered invisible by their mentors in Tibet! As for the eminent Professor Larkin. He turned out to be a local dabbler in the occult, whose duties were simply to let visitors to his observatory study the stars through a comparatively small telescope. Perhaps luckily for him, he died years before Lansers article was published, so was spared the indignity of becoming a public laughing-stock!
However, Mount Shasta had already figured large in occult debate well prior to Lansers entering the scene. One Frederick S. Oliver published an occult story in 1894, entitled A Dweller On Two Planets, using the pen-name of Phylos The Tibetan in which he, as the narrator, encounters one of the Masters ( a Chinese sage named Quong) on the same mountain, where a community of spiritual sages preserved all the ancient wisdom of their forefathers. He was accepted into their group, and they then took him, in his spirit-body, on a visit to the planet Venus. (Knowing the infernal conditions prevalent on Venus as we now do, he probably thought he was in Hell!) His mentors also taught him to recall all his previous incarnations - which included a life upon Atlantis.
But Then Again...
Despite these apparently linked works of fiction - one presumes that Lanser had read Olivers old book - perhaps one shouldnt be overly hasty to dismiss the entire Lemurian concept as pure fantasy, either. Harking back to our previous mention of Scott-Elliot and his fanciful book, I find that there seems to be a fine golden thread of possible truth running through the generally weird material it contains.
For example, he makes mention of beings from the early planet Venus (presumably prior to it being knocked out of its old orbit between Mars and Jupiter - as I have discussed elsewhere), who strangely enough, were called Lords of The Flame, (and this, remember, was written long before Venus present semi-molten state was ever known to astronomers and cosmologists!).
These Venusians had long ago already developed a highly-advanced civilization upon their planet, and they were able to teach the Lemurians how to attain immortality through repeated incarnations.
(I should perhaps also mention that these same so-called Venusians could well have been the Astridians whom I have postulated as the small humanoid inhabitants of the fifth planet, which orbited where the asteroid-belt now lies (and which I now believe really was Venus), in my first scenario for an alternative birth-planet to Mars of our human species.)
Back to Atlantis!
Later on in his book, Scott-Elliot mentions how the continent of Lemuria began to break up and sink into the ocean bed - apart, that is, from that single portion which extended into the North Atlantic. Two large adjacent pieces of this peninsula still remained after the rest of Lemuria had vanished, and these became the so-called continent of Atlantis. (However, we are not told how they reached into the central Atlantic from the Indian Ocean!) These became the home of the first sub-Race of the Fourth Root Race, known as the Atlanteans, who, according to the book, later became the forerunners of the Cro-Magnon white race that occupied Europe and Northern Asia! Next came the Tlavatlis, who occupied an Atlantean colony that is now called Mexico. The third sub-Race were the Toltecs, who brought Atlantis into its Golden Age, which lasted for 100,000 years!
A Curious Twist Of Irony.
Thus Scott-Elliots story takes a very interesting turn, and develops in a now-familiar fashion, relating the demise of the two joint islands which formed Atlantis, ending in the final sinking of the last remaining, smaller island, Poseidonis, in the year 9564 BC, and which is told of in Platos story! One ironic twist in this story concerns the larger portion of Atlantis, Daitya, which prior to its submergence, was occupied by another sub-race of Altanteans, who were sorcerers, and were called the Semites. Just before Daitya sank under the waves, a large group of these Semites moved into central Asia, where they then evolved into the Aryans, the Fifth Root Race, to which we now reportedly belong! One cannot help but wonder what Adolf Hitlers reaction would have been, had he read this of this amazing evolution of his proposed Aryan Master-Race out of the Nazis so-called sub-human Untermenschen - the Hebrews! We can only assume that neither Hitler nor Himmler read Scott-Elliots intriguing book!
More Support for Atlantis!
Scott-Elliot also mentioned many of the achievements of the Atlanteans in his book, which tend to reinforce what I have already discovered about these amazing people. Apart from domesticating leopard-like animals (possibly South American jaguars, or perhaps African cheetahs?) and developing the banana plant, they were also great alchemists and manufactured rare and precious metals in vast amounts. Their scientists invented gas-bombs (as well as atomic devices, as we saw earlier), and they also created aircraft which were propelled by the so-called Vril force ( much sought after by Hitlers weapon-scientists during world War II, in their quest for new secret weapons). This vril force was mentally-directed energy that was first assumed to have originated in the fevered-mind of some Victorian Novelist, but now appears to have been an actual, mentally-produced power, akin to that same psychokinesis believed to have been used to raise huge blocks of masonry in ancient building works!
At any rate, as we have seen elsewhere, their aircraft were capable of vertical take-off and hovering, rather like jump-jets of today, and, if Scott-Elliot is to be believed, they could fly at a speed of around 100 mph, up to a thousand feet in altitude! (Although, given all their other remarkably advanced technological powers, I am somewhat surprised that the Atlanteans should have been so greatly inhibited in both speed and height with their aircraft!)
Steiners Atlanteans.
There was one other controversial writer on Lemuria and Atlantis, who also gives highly-detailed accounts of both continents. This was an Austrian ex-theosophist, named Rudolph Steiner. He broke away from the Theosophists in 1907, and formed his own separate cult, the Anthroposophical Society. His book, Cosmic Memory: Atlantis and Lemuria, was published in 1923, and is apparently still in print and available through Rudolph Steiner Publications, which also publishes other classics on Atlantis, such as those of Ignatius Donelly and Le Plongeon.
Steiners view of Lemuria And Atlantis is alleged to stem from the Akasha Chronicle which is a spiritual record of the past, apparently available only to true psychic initiates. However, from all accounts, much of his concept has seemingly been culled from Madame Blavatskys original Theosophic writings. He describes the Lemurians as simple-minded, but possessed of enormous will-power which enabled them to raise and manipulate great weights, a faculty which they seemingly passed on to the Atlanteans. They also had souls, which their predecessors apparently didnt have, and they had begun to develop some form of rudimentary speech. Ill skip over their other biological and rather fantastic sexual and reproductive development, as this isnt of any particular relevance to this study, and, to my mind, ruins an otherwise entertaining yarn!
Steiner goes on to claim that both the Lemurians and Atlanteans did not possess the ability to reason, but that they had excellent memories, and were educated in such a fashion as to be able to hold (like a computer) a vast store of mental images and data in their minds, and thus (again in the manner of the modern computer), they were able to solve problems by recalled precedents. However, new and unprecedented situations left them greatly bemused, since they simply did not compute! They apparently also possessed certain magical word powers of command, which they could employ to heal the sick or tame wild animals. This, of course, smacks very much of Jesus Christ, and I think Steiner might have been attempting to endow these people with Godlike powers beyond their station! He, too, like Scott-Elliot (from whom he clearly also borrowed as freely as from Madame Blavatsky), spoke of the Atlantean Semites evolving into the Aryan race, and acquiring, along the way, the ability to reason and develop consciences, and to refine these qualities up to our modern, human standard.
A Load of Nonsense, or a Grain of Truth?
It would be very easy to toss out all of these concepts as the ramblings of tortured minds, and dismiss their authors as demented cranks and lunatics, but I suppose the same could be (and has been) said of the worlds religions - especially of Christianity, since many of the worlds most sceptical people are of the white race, which largely chose Christianity above the other major religions. However, when one thinks of the vast multitude of people in the world who are entirely convinced of the existence of supernatural beings, with powers and forces that supervene those of nature, one has to ponder whether we really know enough about such unseen spiritual and psychic powers to be able to rule it all out as impossible! I feel one must keep an open mind on this.
Every day, we hear of amazing events and occurrences which seem to fly in the face of logic and common-sense. Things that simply cannot be explained by any rational means. Thus I believe that one needs to maintain an open mind about such things, and hope that one day, the real truth of such phenomena might be made clear to us. I certainly tend to believe personally that there is more to our universe and ourselves than we are currently aware of. Perhaps there is another dimension of mind and self which we have largely lost the ability to tap into - rather like that elusive fifth dimension of physics which plagued Albert Einstein ? Maybe this is what we call spirituality? At the risk of sounding repetitive, I can only quote again those famous words of Shakespeares Hamlet: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy!
What then, are we to believe regarding the lost continent of Lemuria, and all its totally outlandish Root-Races and so forth? Is it all just a lot of balderdash produced by warped minds and fobbed on to a gullible public for the notoriety and aggrandizement of people like Blavatsky and her followers and imitators, such as Scott-Elliot, Steiner, etc? Or might there be a grain of truth in it all?
Conclusions on Lemuria.
Certainly, the famous occultists seem to comfortably accept that there was a large continent where Lemuria is purported to have been, and many ancient maps of the world showed a large continent in the Southern Hemisphere, long before the Theosophists got hold of the notion. This was the famous Terra Australis Incognita (Unknown Southern Land) which the geographers of bygone times believed to exist in order to balance up the globe. Many students think this was Australia, but alas, according to Captain James Cook, Australia, although as large as the USA, just wasnt big enough to fill the bill, and he could find no other continent that did. Ironically, Cook sailed right around the Antarctic ice-shelf without realizing it concealed a gigantic land-mass! (Although, in my humble opinion, had he actually discovered it, the Antarctic continent might well have proved to be precisely the Terra Australis Incognita he was looking for!)
Its also interesting to note that Lemuria was (and still is) frequently regarded as interchangeable with Mu, and we have read how Atlantis appears to have been considered to be an offshoot of Lemuria, so it does seem to have its place in the general scheme of things pertaining to Lost Continents. Even the famous clairvoyant-seer, Edgar Cayce, appears to have acknowledged Lemuria, but as The Land of Mu, rather than as any Indian Oceanic continent. He seems to have disagreed greatly with the Theosophic standpoint regarding Lemuria in all aspects, including their descriptions of the evolution of humans from jelly-like creatures! Though I must say that, in my opinion, there is really little to choose between either party, since they all drew their knowledge and information from occult, spiritual sources!
Casting The Final Vote.
I suppose that, if I had to make a casting-vote for or against the existence of such a vanished continent as Lemuria, I think I would have to vote against it ever having existed - at least in the form described by the Theosophists - and with the weird inhabitants its alleged to have had. Perhaps there was an isthmus or continent there once, which might conceivably linger in racial-memory, but if so, it was probably India itself, in its original situation as a separating portion of ancient Pangaea or Gondwanaland, when ocean-floor rifting and crustal-expansion of the planet began to separate the continents from each other.
We really have no true idea if mankind had, or had not yet appeared upon this planet at that far-off epoch, whether by Divine Fiat or by colonization from Mars. Every new hypothesis that comes along seems to push back the antiquity of our species by more millions of years. So only a brash fool with the arrogant self-assuredness of a Darwin or a Wallace would be so presumptuous as to state categorically that we couldnt have been around in those early days! Thus, sadly, however much I would have wished to have believed it otherwise, I have to confess that I believe that Lemuria was simply another name for Mu!
Hyperborea And Ultima Thule.
Most of our quest for ancient civilizations has thus far been focused largely upon the Pacific region and the Southern Hemisphere. Now I think we should perhaps consider a couple of legendary lands which have been perpetuated in the folk-history of the Scandinavian and Germanic peoples, even though these legends owe some of their origins to the ancient Greeks and the Aryans of Central Asia. Two major mystic and magical lands spring to mind here; Hyperborea and Ultima Thule - which both feature greatly in Nordic mythology, besides having, from all accounts, actually existed somewhere within the Arctic regions of the world in ancient times! However, before we go in search of concrete evidence, lets consider some of the legendary background for both of these places - which might well have been one and the same!
Hyperborea.
the first mention we find of the Hyperboreans, is in the mythology of ancient Greece, before the time of Homer. However, Herodotus mentions them as being part of the legendary Theban epic, and being in some way connected with the cult of Apollo, the sun-god, and that their homeland was in a paradise-like country beyond the North Wind, which indicates a region that may now lie within the Arctic Circle, or certainly in the far North Atlantic! The Hyperborians according to this same source, were alleged to live for a thousand years, but they had a tradition that any who tired of such a long life could end it in a ritual suicide ceremony, whereby the person involved was decked with floral garlands and allowed to jump off a high pinnacle into the sea!
Other legends seem to indicate that it was that happy land lying to the west, towards the setting sun, The Garden of the Hesperides, where trees bore golden fruit; the Elysian Fields or even the Happy Isles! Generally, it is believed to have been a veritable paradise on earth, and may have been an island lying somewhere between the Azores and Iceland, which, like Atlantis, sank beneath the waves after some great catastrophe. There are some scholars who directly connect the two, and claim that Hyperborea was, in fact, the lost continent of Atlantis!
My own view, after scanning some of the mythology surrounding Hyperborea and Thule, is that its possible that they could have been the same place. It really all depends upon how far back the original legends go. If they are traceable to the time of the establishment of the Egyptian nation, since they figure in the Theban epic, then it is possible that they go far back in time to the period prior to the last polar shift. In which case, much of the land that now lies within the Arctic Circle was then warm to temperate country, richly carpeted with grasslands and forests, and all of Natures bounty, both vegetable and animal.
Its even possible that we need look no farther than the British Isles, since these would have been well to the far north-west of both Egypt and Greece! (We have to avoid the pitfall of allowing our northern European or American concept of the north-west to cloud our geographic thinking!) However, at that distant point in time, both Britain and Ireland would have been the most north-westerly part of the European land-mass, since, because much of the worlds ocean water was locked up in ice, the English Channel and the North Sea were both dry land then. However, there seems to be a distinct hint in the legends that both Hyperborea and Ultima Thule were always islands, so perhaps this would tend to rule out Britain and Ireland.
My first conclusion is that both were actually the same place, with Greenland as Ultima Thule and Iceland as Thule. Although they are connected geologically, under the ocean, Ultima Thule and Thule seem to be separated in mythology into two distinct islands, and, since the name Ultima Thule implies furthest away, then Thule must have been closer to Europe than it. The obvious candidate for Thule then, must be Iceland. According to Pytheas, a famous Greek navigator of the 4th century BC, Thule was a six-day sea-voyage north of Britain, though whether by sail or by oar-power isnt stated, but it seems to set the location of Thule as modern Iceland. Common sense would then suggest that Ultima Thule had to be Greenland. However, what if both were once united in one unsubmerged land-mass - the continent of Hyperborea?
The Arctic Homeland: Hyperborea.
To discover more about the mythos surrounding Hyperborea, we must look to the works of various older authorities on such somewhat esoteric mysteries. Jean-Sylvain Bailly, 1736-1793), who was an astronomer and a mystic, comments that: It is a very remarkable thing that enlightenment appears to have come from the North, against the common prejudice that the earth was enlightened, as it was populated, from the South... He then goes on to point out that, according to all the legends and ancient wisdom, as humanity began to reconstitute itself after the Noahic Deluge, the purest stream of civilization descended from Northern Asia into India, which to this day carries evidence of having the most ancient astronomical system on earth. He continues on to point out that, in most of the ancient mythologies of the world, there appears to be a race-memory of a racial origin in the far North and a subsequent gradual migration southward.
Another great scientific mind of the same era, the Comte de Buffon, placed the first civilizations in northern and central Asia, east of the Caspian Sea, but he seemed to be in general agreement with Bailly about a northern origin for mankind, rather than a Middle Eastern or Southern one. Rev. Dr. W.F. Warren, who was president of Boston University and belonged to several learned societies, revived the polar origin theory for mankind in a book published in 1885: Paradise Found, of which the thesis was That the cradle of the human race...was situated at the North Pole, in a country submerged at the time of the Deluge.
His theory compared very well with all the relevant sciences and comparative mythology - especially that of Germany. Warren was a Christian and an avowed anti-Darwinist, and he utterly rejected the concept of man having evolved from the ape, through a period of primitive savagery. He believed that the earliest men were the noblest and the longest-lived, and it was only after the Deluge, that humanity began to take on the feeble lineaments of ourselves. At least, in his work he reveals some amazing insight into what could have caused the Deluge, through Gods Hand, by pointing out that, after the survivors of the polar flood settled in their north Asian exile, they found the skies (or heavens) tilted in respect to the way they had known them: the North Star was no longer overhead, and he mentions that they perfectly understood why this was so....but their rude descendants, unfavoured with the treasures of antediluvian science, and born only to a savage, nomadic life.... might easily have forgotten the explanation - which was that, instead of the human horizon, it was the earth that had shifted! Here, at long last, we get the first oblique mention of a polar shift!
Support from India.
Bal Gangadhar Tilak (1856-1920), a renowned pioneer protagonist of Indian Independence at the turn of the century, was also a scholar in astronomy and Vedic antiquities, who among other feats, was able to place the oldest Indian Vedic civilization at around 4500 BC.
Tilak was jailed by the British for his anti-British writings for several years, and this time he put to good use in studying the Veda scripts, in relation to known astronomical and geological events. He published his findings in a work: The Arctic Home of The Vedas, in 1903. In this he stated that, according to his readings of the Vedas, the original Arctic home of humanity was destroyed around 10,000 - 8,000 BC by the last Ice Age, and that from 8,000 - 3000 BC, was the Age of Wandering, before they Vedic people finally settled in India between 5,000 - 3000 BC. By then, he went on to add, they had already begun to forget their Arctic origins, and their traditions had begun to go rapidly downhill.
As we have seen in earlier accounts, his timing of this cataclysm fits in very closely with what we know of the destruction of Atlantis and Mu, so we can attribute it to the same cause - a sudden polar shift, resulting in both tidal waves and tectonic upheavals followed by a very rapid relocation of the polar ice-caps: the so-called Ice Age. So, we have the destruction of Mu, dated very approximately at 12,000 years ago, that of Atlantis around 10-12,000 years ago, and, according to best estimates, the destruction of Hyperborea also at around the same time-frame of 10-12,000 years ago. Could this then, be also the time of the Biblical Flood one wonders?
As far as Im able to determine by reading sundry authorities, this would seem to be the case. So its up to my readers to resolve for themselves whether this is a pure coincidental matter, or whether God chose to bring about the cleansing of an evil and disobedient world by means of a purely natural catastrophic event - which would seem to be a perfectly logical thing to do if One were the Supreme Intellect, who created the entire Universe along purely logical lines!
