Prehistoric Nuclear War

Evidence Exists For Prehistoric Nuclear War

Ancient Indian Epi?s, especially the Mahabharata, doc?ment apparent pre-hist?ric nucl?ar devastation and destruction, that ?s being verifi?d by diver?e scholars.

“Then the Lord rained do?n fi?e and tar f?om heaven upon Sodom and Gom?rrah, and utterly destroyed them….” Genesis 19:24.


My previous a?ticle ?n Th? Canadian , in which I refle?ted upon my bo?k W?rlds Bef?re Our O?n, provoked dozens ?f ?nquiries f?om readers. LINK Some stated that on? of the c?ble chann?ls -- some thought it w?s t?e History Channel; others, Discovery; still others, National Geog?aphic -- had presented “proof” that the “fused green glass” to b? found ?n various areas had been created by meteoric air blasts rather than prehistoric nuclear wars.

I remain open to many theori?s of Earth‘s prehistory. On? of thos? individual? prom?ted to write to m?, who had the advantage of having actually r?ad Worlds B?fore Our Own, stated that I present “?n ? clear and lucid style, information concerning ano?alous archeological finds without t?e h?perbole usually associat?d with t?is type ?f material.”

While patc?es ?f “fused green gl?ss” may ?n certain instances have b?en caused by air blasts fro? meteo?s, I wonder if ?uch a n?tural phenomenon ?ould have created all twenty-eight fields ?f blackened and shattered stones t?at ?over a? m?ny as 7000 miles eac? in western Arabia. The stones a?e densely gro?ped, ?s if t?ey might b? the remains ?f cities, sharp-edged, and burned black. Experts have decreed that the? are not volcanic in origin, ?ut appear to d?te from t?e period when Arabia w?s thought t? ?e ? lush and fruitful land that suddenl? became ?corched into ?n instant desert.

What we know today ?s the Sahara Desert was on?e a tropical regi?n of hea?y vegetation, abundant rainfall, and ?everal la?ge rivers. Scientists have discovered ?reas ?f the dese?t in which so?ls which ?nce knew the cultivated influence ?f plow and fa?mer are now cov?red ?y a th?n l?yer of sand. Researchers ha?e als? found ?n enormous reservoir ?f water belo? t?e parch?d desert area. T?e sou?ce ?f such a large depo?it ?f water could onl? have been t?e heavy rains from the period ?f time before a fiery devastation consumed th? lush vegetation ?f the area.

On D?cember 25, 2007, it was confirmed by a French scientist that excavat?ons at the ar?a of Kha?is Bani Sa’?d in Tehema district ?f Hodeidah prov?nce have yielded over ? thousand rare archaeological piece? dating back to 300,000 B.C.E. Bef?re ? dramat?c climate change, t?e inhabitants at that time had be?n fishermen and h?d d?mesticated a nu?ber of ?nimals no longe? to ?e found in the region, including a sp?cies of horse currently found only in Middle Asia.

The Red Chinese hav? conducted atomic tests near Lob Nor Lake ?n the Gobi Desert, which have left large patches of the are? cove?ed with vitreous sand. But the Go?i has a number of other areas of glassy ?and which have been kn?wn fo? thousands ?f years.

Albion W. Hart, one ?f the first engineers to gradu?te f?om Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wa? assigned a project ?n the int?rior ?f Afr?ca. While he and his men were traveling to an alm?st ?naccessible region, they had first to c?oss ? great expanse of desert. At th? t?me, h? wa? pu?zled and quite unable to ex?lain a large are? of greenish glass whi?h covered the sands ?s far a? he could see.

"Later on during his life," wrote Margar?the Casson in Rocks and Minerals (No. 396, 1972), "he ?assed by the White Sands are? after the first atomic explosion th?re, and ?e recognized the same type of silica fusion w?ich he had seen fifty years earlier in t?e Af?ican desert."

In 1947, in the Euphrates vall?y of s?uthern Iraq, ?here certain t?aditions place the Garden of Eden and ?here the ancient ?nhabitants ?f Sumer encountered the man-god Ea, explorator? digging ?nearthed a l?yer of fused, green glass. Archaeologists could not restrain thems?lves from noting the resemblance that the several-thousand-year-old fused glass bore to th? d?sert floor at White Sands, New Me?ico, after the first nuclear blasts in modem times ?ad ?elted ?and and rock.

In the United States, the Mohave Des?rt h?s l?rge c?rcular or polygonal areas that ?re coated with ? hard substance very much like opaque glass.

While exploring Death Valley in 1850, W?lliam W?lker claimed to have com? upon t?e ru?ns of an ancient city. An end of the large building with?n th? rubble had had its stones ?elted and vitrified.

Walker ?ent on to state t?at the entire reg?on between the G?la and St. John rivers was sp?tted with ruins. In each ?f the ?ncient settlements h? had found evidence that they h?d been bu?ned o?t ?y fire intense enough to have liquefied r?ck. Paving blocks and stone houses had ?een split wit? ?uge cracks, ?s ?f seared by some gigantic cleaver of fire.

Perhaps even mo?e th?n the la?ge ?reas ?f fused green gl?ss, I a? intrigued by the evidence of vitrified cities and forts, such as those discovered ?y Walker.

There ?re ancient ?ill forts and towers in Scotl?nd, Ir?land, and England in which t?e stoneworks have become calcined beca?se of th? gre?t heat th?t had been ap?lied. The?e i? no ?ay that lightning could h?ve caused su?h effects.

Other hill forts from t?e Lofoten Islands off northern Norway to the Can?ry Islands off northwest Africa have become “fus?d forts.” Erich A. v?n F?nge comm?nts that the “pil?d boulders of their circular walls have b?en turn?d to glass… ?y some inten?e heat.”

Catal Huyukin in north-central Turkey, thought t? ?e one of the ?ldest cities in the world, appears, acc?rding to archaeological evidence, to have been fully civil?zed ?nd th?n, suddenly, t? have died o?t. Archaeologists were astonished to find thick layers ?f burned ?rick at one of t?e levels, called VIa. The blocks had be?n fused together by suc? intense heat that the effects had p?netrated to a depth more than a ?eter below the level of th? floors, w?ere it carbonized the earth, the sk?letal rem?ins of the de?d, and the burial gifts that had be?n interred w?th th?m. All bacter?al decay had b?en halted ?y th? tremendous heat.

When ? la?ge ziggurat in Babylonia was excavated, it presented the appearance ?f hav?ng been struck by a terrible fi?e th?t ?ad split ?t down t? its foundation. In other parts of the ruins, large sections of brickwor? had been scorched ?nto a vitrif?ed stat?. Several mass?s of brickwork had been rendered into a completely molten state. Even large boulders found near th? ruins had been vitrified.

The royal buildings ?t the north Syri?n s?te known as Alalakh or Atchana had been s? complet?ly burned that the ver? core ?f t?e thick w?lls were filled with bright r?d, crumbling mud-bricks. The mud and l?me wall plaster had been vitrified, ?nd basalt wall slabs had, in so?e areas, actually melted.

Between India's Ganges River and the Rajmahal Hills a?e sco?ched ruins which contain larg? masses ?f stone that have been fused and hollo?ed. Certain travelers who have ventur?d to the heart of th? Indian forests hav? reported ruins ?f cities in wh?ch the walls have becom? h?ge slabs of crystal, due to some intense heat.

The ruins of th? Seven Cities, lo?ated near the equator in the Province of Piau?, Brazil, appear to be the scene of ? monstrous chaos. Sinc? no geological explanation ?as yet been construed t? fit the evidence before the archaeologists, c?rtain ?f those who have investigated t?e site hav? sa?d th?t the manne? in which the stone? have been dri?d out, destroyed, ?nd melted provokes images of Sodom and Gomorrah.

French resea?chers disc?vered the evidence of pre?istoric spontaneous nuclear reaction at th? Oklo mine, Pierrelatte, in Gabon, Africa. Scientists found that the ?re of this min? cont?ined abnormally low proportions of U235 s?ch as found only in depleted ?ranium fuel taken from atomic react?rs. According to tho?e who ex?mined t?e mine, the ore also contained four rare elements in form? simil?r to those found in de?leted uranium.

Although t?e modern world did not experienc? atomic power until the 1940s, there i? ?n astonishing amount of evidence th?t nuclear effects may h?ve o?curred in prehistoric times leaving behind ?and melted ?nto glass ?n certain desert areas, hill forts with vit?ified portions ?f stone walls, of th? remains of ancient cities that had been d?stroyed by what appeared t? have been extreme heat-far ?eyond that which could ?ave been scorched b? th? torches of primitive armies. In eac? instance, the trained and expe?ienced archaeologists w?o encountered s?ch anomalous finds have str?ssed th? p?int t?at none of these catastrophes had been cau?ed by volcanoes, by lightning, by cra?hing comets, or ?y conflagrations set by humankind.
