Even von Daniken's work begins to take on a realness when one
finds an old National Geographic from 1933 corroborating the "Band
of Holes," that he personally inspected a few years ago. Each hole
is a meter wide and just as deep. There are eight holes spanning 24
meters in width, marching in repetitive uniform fashion, from the
Pisco Valley rolling over a mile through mountain terrain --
finally disappearing in the misty mass of Peru. These holes remind
this old West Texas boy of the traces left by a massive drilling rig
moving along methodically, testing the geology of the Andes for
precious metals. Lasers have also left such tracings in the ground.
Archaeologists say they represented defensive positions or graves
for the ancient ones, except why would you bury anyone on a slope in
rocky soil at more than a 45-degree angle?
If you look at the most northern part of the band, you will
notice that it ends within unnaturally darkened area (it almost
looks like a remnants of an explosion)... see the photo below:

Real human history is clouded by
Academic elitists' miss-information
By Ron O. Cook
(www.enigmni.com)
Some years back, I had the pleasure of having a visit from
my esteemed mentor -- Leon Brown. He has spent most of his life
researching historical manuscripts from ancient times and is
currently seeking to conquer the Mayan glyphs for their secrets of
Mesoamerican history. We stayed up until the darkest hours of the
morning discussing all the study he has conducted over the past 30
years. From what he and I have gleaned through together, a rather
large body of work could be attained in short order. The over-riding
point that seemed to explode upon our collective conversation was
the fact that the national academic presentation of what brought
mankind to its present position in time is all an illusion. New
evidence is being held out by the powers that be for perhaps no
other reason than slothfulness. Professors and scientists just do
not want to mess up their nice little world of academic calm. We
were both once in that academic realm and saw it all. The real truth
would mess up everything. So what if the company-line is wrong?
What if there is evidence that humanity was once just as advanced
or more so than we are today? What if flying machines, cars,
computers, radios, televisions, nuclear weapons, lasers, spacecraft,
advanced medicine, genetic engineering, and master-building-design
were representations of a civilization like ours only it was firmly
held in the hands of the very rich and the politically-powerful
elite? Few examples of their works would survive perhaps none other
than their philosophy. They ruled the earth via technology, fear,
and supreme intelligence. They could prolong life and discovered the
secrets of being and becoming. Compared to common man they seemed
like gods and positioned themselves accordingly. Could our
civilization be polarizing in this direction now, with the rich
getting richer and the poorer masses exploding toward obscurity?
What happened when the Ice Age came to a halt and all that
glacial weight melted into the oceans flooding mass-civilization
into obscurity? Like a giant waterbed, the surface of the earth
changed drastically. What was lost under hundreds, perhaps thousands
of feet of mud and historical ooze? Is the evidence still to be
found off the shores of present humanity? Did the so-called gods
escape to the highlands and wait to return when it was all over?
This small but highly aware power-group may have ruled on the
Earth some 10,000 to 15,000 years ago (some say more). The evidence
of this epoch setting period does exist everywhere, and it is
reinforced more every day by the finds of archaeologist,
anthropologists, and other scientists. The truth of some of their
work never reaches the public ear however, because it would require
a gestalt paradigm shift for most of us to even understand the
implications of such enigmatic data. Instead, we are offered the
preliminary-spin from cautious minds not able to entirely perceive
the real meanings behind the remains of Earth's past history.
The accomplishments of ancient man are many and powerful when one
puts away the weak assessments and lack of creative thought by the
learned experts from the elitist institutions and universities. It
is as though there is and was a conspiracy among these folks to hide
the truth of an incomprehensible civilization that has always been
kept hidden behind a facade of fertility-cults, ancestral worship,
astrology, savagery, cursory bloodletting and other forms of supreme
underestimation or outright concealment of ancient capabilities and
intellect. The reality and mythology of the past is out of focus
with academic assessments of actual artifacts.
The collective scientific community seems to support one another
in a common "story" about our past. Are they afraid of the truth or
do they protect something much larger? Perhaps they protect
themselves. Zecharia Sitchin has taken a scholars approach to an
Eric von Daniken-like theory of our past. He has torn back the veil
of Isis to expose the possibility that we did and possibly still do,
have gods of super advanced technology living among us. He has
presented evidence of the Anunnaki, who were human-like beings from
the planet Nibiru (planet "X" 39 au away, currently coming into our
solar system?) living on Earth for perhaps half a million years. He
has gleaned this evidence from the ancient records of the Sumerians,
Egyptians, Hittites, and the Tiwanakuans of Lake Titicaca of Bolivia
(before the Inca). His work is collected in THE EARTH CHRONICLES, a
series of books dedicated to deep research into the why of such
magnificent engineering accomplishments as the Great Pyramids,
Baalbek, Teotihucan, Tower of Babylon, and much more. Even the Bible
offers this information, yet many see it in the light of a lesser
gestalt-paradigm.
Many of Sitchin's questions have gone unanswered by today's
scholars who prefer to explain away phenomenal engineering feats in
the simplest of terms. For anyone who has actually seen the sites
such as the Great Pyramid of Egypt, the markings that run
dead-straight for eight miles in the deserts of Nazca Peru, or even
the beautiful constructions in Mexico--some of the puny conclusions
by scholars seem totally out of context with the evidence.
An example -- some years ago the Japanese tried to construct a
35-foot tall miniature version of the Great Pyramid, which is almost
482 feet tall. In the end they had to resort to modern earth-moving
and lifting technology which ultimately could not do the job. Modern
man had to abandon this attempt to emulate ancient man. The Great
Pyramid is 2.3 million blocks of 5,000 lb. perfectly dressed stone.
Scholars suggest that the Egyptians would have had to position 6.7
stone blocks per minute in order to build the limestone structure in
the 20 years calculated for the construction. If this were true,
forces greater than any I am familiar with would have had to be
used. In the fortress at Baalbek in Lebanon, the use of 1,000 ton
monolithic stones pique the interest of any thinking engineer of
today, especially one who wrestles with 150 ton beams. Of course,
there are thousands and thousands of unanswered questions like the
above.
Even von Daniken's work begins to take on a realness when one
finds an old National Geographic from 1933 corroborating the "Band
of Holes," that he personally inspected a few years ago. Each hole
is a meter wide and just as deep. There are eight holes spanning 24
meters in width, marching in repetitive uniform fashion, from the
Pisco Valley rolling over numerous miles of hills and mountains --
finally disappearing in the misty mass of Peru. These holes remind
this old West Texas boy of the traces left by a massive drilling rig
moving along methodically, testing the geology of the Andes for
precious metals. Lasers have also left such tracings in the ground.
Archaeologists say they represented defensive positions or graves
for the ancient ones, except why would you bury anyone on a slope in
rocky soil at more than a 45-degree angle?
But my friends, there are tons of anomalies in the mysterious
lands of South America -- Colombian models of delta winged forms,
giant pyramids in the Amazon Basin, built on mountain slopes covered
by inaccessible jungles and others are examples. Are these mysteries
part of why Teddy Roosevelt was so introspective upon his return
from the Amazonian adventure which eventually caused his death? This
is an area where satellites from space represent the best vehicles
for discovery of the great structures or patterns on the ground. The
Amazon hides "tall, robust" civilizations of the past, which have
been radio-carbon dated just recently to over 8,000 years old, and
it seems we have not even scratched the edges of this area's massive
hidden potential for learning the true "why" of its humanity.
In Bolivia, the archaic site of Tiwanaku on the shores of Lake
Titicaca, represents one of the greatest question marks for all
mankind. Here are the remains of a city with one of the most
sophisticated sewer systems for even modern times. According to
archaeologist Alan Kolata from the University of Chicago, he has
never seen or heard of a better system. His awe is also taken by the
remarkable agricultural system of canals and hydraulic systems that
he is even now using to increase potato production for area
residents. The raised field system used by the ancients must have
occupied 400 to 500 square miles and could easily have fed the
100,000 or more ancient residents living on the arid Altiplano.
Kolata and Oswaldo Rivera of the Bolivian National Institute of
Archaeology are currently excavating this great area which includes
2.5 square miles of an advanced form of building. There are pyramids
with some interlocking stones weighing 160 tons. Many of the
structures offer interior hydraulic systems that control water,
which runs under and through the massive structures. It has been
said that this site contains the biggest stone-built buildings in
the Americas and everywhere archaeologists are finding that the
concisely cut stones are interlinked by copper clamps to hold them
together. Not even the more recent Inca culture knew to use the
clamps. Many of the structures also use the interlocking stone work,
which is famous in Peru, but a different twist is found in evidence
at Tiwanaku. These stones resemble the work of a master gunsmith,
with complex breach-locking levels and sophisticated cuts that have
never been seen in any other ancient culture. No written language
has been found but unusual designs that compare to configurations of
today¹s computer chips have been unearthed. How did these geniuses
of engineering, make do without a written language?
If humankind could suffer a gestalt paradigm shift, thus enabling
us to see anew the reality of what we are now discovering about life
on Earth and the Universe, then perhaps we would realize that we
have been here before. Some ancient records say that this is the 5th
round of existence that we are experiencing. Cycles are in evidence
everywhere in nature and in mathematics. Could the past records of
Earth finally push human intellect beyond the little minds that we
are now perceiving life through to a higher level of understanding,
thereby letting us spring from the pedestal of this planet into the
oceans of new learning that wait for us to finally arrive...and,
when we do, will we know the territory when we see it?
Commentary by Leon Brown
10 July 2003
Dear Ronald,
I was sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, and quite
providentially, your article arrived for my inspection. Thank you.
It is nice to have something to think about. And you say you are
contemplating its inclusion in The Mystica? Bully! And since you
invited comment on the article, yes, I do have some comments to
make.
In the first paragraph, I believe, you mention that academicians
are loath to change information, or consider new information, and
that this is due to sheer slothfulness. I am sure that sloth can
have a great deal to do with it, but I think there is another
element that needs to be looked at. This element is the Defense of
the mindset. Academicians love to theorize, and when they advance a
theory that wins even a little acceptance, the theory begins to
convert into a mind set. They will defend this theory and their
mindset with the ferocity of a tigress defending her cubs. In a way,
this theory is their child, and it must be defended at all costs.
Unfortunately, some of those old boys are able to defend themselves
with a skill that can only be classed as formidable. I have seen
altercations in the academe that would make a duel between two
saber-toothed tigers pale in comparison
I am reminded of Ales Hrdlicka, who was with the Smithsonian in
Washington for so many years. His particular mindset was that man
could not have been in the Americas before the end of the last Ice
Ages, due to the gargantuan ice sheets, which would have impeded
mans progress into the New World. He defended this position to the
point where it was academic suicide to go against it, and all
quailed in fear of his wrath. This man was able to impress his
notions on the anthropologists of the Americas for decade after
decade. It was nothing except intellectual tyranny.
Professor Frank Hibben of the University of New Mexico uncovered
evidence in New Mexico that suggested that man had been in the
Americas before the end of the last Ice Age. He documented his work,
and he published a very nice little book for the layman called The
Lost Americans (1946). Professor Hibben was head of the Anthropology
Department at his university and was a well-respected archaeologist.
Well, after publication of this work, holy hell broke loose.
Hrdlicka had so impressed his views that other archaeologists would
not even consider the work that Hibben had done at Sandia Cave,
close to Albuquerque, New Mexico. (This is the celebrated Sandia
Cave Man controversy.)
Professor Hibben lost his tenure, and he was booted out of the
University of New Mexico. His professional career was completely
ruined, and he never taught again. He was vilified beyond belief,
and it was even suggested that he had tinkered with his evidence.
However, let it be noted that no one went to look at the evidence in
situ, where he had carefully left half of the site intact for study
by future scholars. In fact, someone went out to the Sandia Cave and
completely vandalized the site so it could never be studied again.
(How is this for spite and malice?) Well, the poor man was ruined,
but there was a saving grace. He was married to a very beautiful
woman who loved him devotedly, and she was also very wealthy. He
lived the rest of his life in luxury in a lovely section of Santa
Fe. His material needs were taken care of, but I am sure that he was
saddened by the loss of his professional life and interests.
And then what happened? Hrdlicka finally died, and who was the
wag who observed that Science progresses from funeral to funeral?
They then discovered the Monte Verde site in southern Chile, which
proved that man was in the Americas long before the last Ice Age
ended. It was amazing how many archaeologists went to the site
before they could be convinced of the truth. After they were finally
persuaded, then it was equally amazing how many pre-Ice Age sites
were discovered and are being excavated. A theory had fallen, and a
mind set had been conquered. Please pardon me for going on at length
about Professor Hibben, but it exercises me no end. I am not sure
that this good man is still alive, but at least, he lived long
enough to see the archaeologists validate the Monte Verde site, and
surely that must have pleased him.
I also noted in your article where you ascribed a high level of
technological development to the ancients. I would like to discuss
this someday, because I think that you might ascribe a higher level
of technological development to ancient Man than I do. Let's talk it
over, and maybe we can get an argument going?
Proceeding briskly onward I think you are quite correct in your
assumption that learning remained in the hands of a few in ancient
days. Indeed, this practice persisted almost until modern times,
because only the affluent could afford the benefits of a solid
education. We have now gone for over a hundred years with education
and look where it has taken us. The GI Bill after World War II
produced a cadre of well educated and well trained people that
rapidly took us from the Industrial Age into the Technological Age.
And now we have entered the Super Tech Age.
At one time (back in my salad days), I wondered why so many of
the discoveries in centuries gone by were done by Sir So-and-So or
Lord What's-His-Face. The answer is easy. They belonged to a class
that could financially afford education and scientific
experimentation. Considering the rate that college tuition is
increasing, learning could once again go into the hands of a few.
This is a caveat for America
You mentioned in passing the turmoil that resulted after the Ice
Caps melted. Now that I think about it, I am amazed that man
survived such an experience it must have been more than horrible!
You will recall that Plato mentioned that the stream of fire
descended from the heavens at regular intervals, and that there had
been many floods. I take it that it was recurring catastrophism on
earth caused by our planet intersecting the orbit of a massive
collection of cometary debris. This debris fell on earth and caused
considerable heating in a rapid manner. The evidence suggests that
the Earth warmed quite rapidly, and I can think of no other
mechanism to explain this phenomenon. And then when you have the Ice
Caps melting, with resulting climatic changes, you then have
flooding of considerable dimensions
Since weight was being redistributed on the planetary surface,
the natural consequence would be earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
of a gargantuan nature. It must have indeed been a dreadful period
in our history. I am still trying to come to grips with the collapse
of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. It is indeed difficult to conceive how
something so gargantuan could degrade and then just collapse. Ditto
for the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet and the ones further east. I beg you
to review pages 70-86 of Underworld by Graham Hancock once more. I
regard the first 86 pages of the work to be the most productive of
the entire book. However, I do endorse the value of the remainder,
and I firmly believe the secrets of prehistoric civilization are to
be found with underwater archaeological research. Hancock is to be
commended for continuing research in the oceans of the world.
You asked for a commentary? You got a commentary! If there is
anything you can use, then fine with me -- have at it. I don't
really care. I just wanted to blow off a little steam on the
subject.
Yours in academic suicide,
Leon Brown

A Pagan Place II _The Mystery of the
Paraguayan Vikings
Fragment of the article by Geoffrey Templar
[...]
The Cerro Cora range is a ring of mountains about five kilometres
in diameter and 25 kilometres west of the modern town of Pedro Juan
Caballero. It lies within a national park and a prohibited military
zone. At one time in the past the area had been sub-tropical
afforested jungle. A straight ridge to the north-east is Cerro
Itaguambype (a Guarani word which means "fortress") . It is two
kilometres long and 100 metres in height in relation to the interior
plain, aligned north-south and on its crest has a path 300 metres
long and three metres broad. At the south end of this path is a
rounded raised platform and the ruins of a watchtower. About thirty
metres from the south end of the path is an opening 20 metres wide
leading into the interior of the mountain.
The base of Cerro Itaguambype is natural rock to which vertical
walls had been added, and where necessary the natural rock tailored
vertically. The walls are constructed of stone blocks of unequal
size but fit into one another for a smooth surface. This method of
construction is exactly similar to pre-Inca walls in Peru and
Bolivia where the irregularity is a deliberate defence against
seismic movements. Since Paraguay is not an earthquake zone, it
seems logical to infer that the method must have been imported, for
the native Guaranis never built in stone before the Jesuits arrived
in Paraguay, while the Jesuits followed a different style of
building and never settled in the area. The men who built this wall
must have learnt the technique in the Andes Altiplano and prior to
the founding of the Inca empire, since the procedures were lost
after the fall of Tiahuanacu in about 1290.
Over the period 1940-1944 this mountain was thoroughly
investigated by AGA, and again by the Instituto de la Ciencia del
Hombre professors thirty years later, but until very recently
nothing was ever revealed as to what was found in its interior. In
the last interview before the professorial team-leader's death in
1990, he revealed to the Delphos Foundation of Argentina, an
organisation interested in pre-Hispanic history in South America,
that the interior of the mountain had contained "a silver-resmelting
plant". Here is the first mystery. What classified secret could
possibly exist about a 13th century silver re-smelting plant in a
remote mountain of Paraguay?
The second mountain in which Fritz Berger had a particular
interest lies within five miles of the first, no more than forty
metres in height, a rocky hump with a central depression, covered
over its lower regions with dense vegetation and above it with none,
and thus called by the Guarani natives "Yvyty Pero" - Bald Mountain.
Later it was renamed "Cerro Ipir" by the Paraguayan Government.
Curiously, there is a similar mountain with the name "Yvyty Pero"
300 miles to the south, at the foot of which archaelogists have
found some splendid runic inscriptions. Where Berger gained the
conviction that Bald Mountain was so important is not known, but he
became convinced that the hill was a tumulus and contained a
subterranean palace built around the funeral chamber of a Viking
king.
He used a "metal detector", an instrument impossible to identify
but which two AGA soldiers, an officer and a sergeant, have
testified "looked like a theodolite with a large clock which Berger
used to detect different metals." A shaft was found in the
depression between the two humps of Cerro Ipir, and here the
theodolite-clock indicated the presence of gold. Excavation work
began and two items were soon discovered: a triangular pice of gold
"which looked like the broken corner of a table", and then a staff
decorated with a gold hand. Winter rains hampered the work which had
proceeded no deeper than 18 metres by the end of 1941: by the end of
1942 a pneumatic drill had been brought in and a ventilation shaft
sunk obliquely to meet up with the first.
At 23 metres calculated from the head of the vertical shaft, the
drillers encountered a continuous slab found impossible to break.
The bits of the drill broke off one after another. Explosives did
not even scratch the surface of what Berger considered to be "the
roof of the palace". The witnesses stated that the material was
undoubtedly artificial, and infinitely more durable than cement.
Berger stated that it was "a superior Portland unknown to modern
science". A third attempt was undertaken in 1944 about 10 metres up
from the base of the hill and an outer wall discovered which bore an
indecipherable insciption, its characters eroded but definitely not
the Latin alphabet. The strange cement of the wall impeded any
further progress and the project was then abandoned.
Besides the two gold artifacts mentioned above, the AGA team also
found "a 14 x 10 cm plaque, unidentifiable for certain as stone or
metal, brilliant as diamond" which Berger mentioned in a letter in
1941. There were also various representations of heads, some
amphoras, other artifacts "of high artistic value", some found in
the rubble, others set out "displayed as if in a museum." These
included the figurine of a woman 1.2 metres in length "of alabaster
or porcelain of the finest kind" found buried, suggestive of a
recumbent statue from a mediaeval sepulchre, and two dice bearing
the images of persons unidentifiable but which in structure were
"similar to worked diamond." The subsequent whereabouts of these
items is not known.
Fritz Berger spent considerable time in making a survey of the
ridge. "It is very big, " he wrote in October 1941, "and I have not
been able to estimate it completely. It is probably 80 components,
perhaps more. I have found it interesting to see how these people
worked geometrically, to the centimetre. I found polygons so exact,
from the arithmetical point of view, that the best of engineers
could not reproduce it. Today when they dynamited inside the shaft,
at a distance of some 200 metres I felt the vibrations in the
cavities below me."
When the professorial team investigated the hill in 1977, at
first glance archaeologist Professor Pistilli reported that nothing
about the hill suggested a tumulus. On further exploration, the
shaft and trenching were found intact but poorly preserved. After
having seen a five-character undecryptable runic inscription on a
wall, the runologist continued the excavation to the concrete inner
wall. This was a whitish shade and contrasted with the reddish
sandstone of which the ridge is composed. It was found impossible to
chip or even mark the material in any way with a pick or geologist's
hammer: the interior sounded hollow. To determine whether the
underground construction had the extension which Berger alleged,
small explosive charges were detonated. It was noted that the
vibrations radiated outwards at the same speed as in normal
atmosphere to the 200 metre mark, the distance indicated by Berger;
beyond that the compacted sandstone had a muffling effect. Efforts
to find the entrance to the subterranean chamber were undertaken
with teams of sappers, but could not be discovered.
In his letters to Munich in 1940, Berger stated having found the
entrance to four tunnels, the location of which he was not disposed
to reveal. These were "over 150 kilometres in length" he said: the
dimensions were small, each entrance being less than a metre broad
and 1.47 metres high.
IN CONCLUSION
What conclusions can be drawn from the above? Large scale
silver-ore mining in the pre-Inca period, begun about 1000 AD, has
been proven scientifically by carbon-dating material found in Laguna
Lobato at Potosi in Bolivia. Findings published in the journal
Science of 23 September 2003 confirm a major technology for its
time, partly destroyed later by extensive Spanish plundering. Dr
Mark Abbott of Pittsburgh University stated that the Potosi silver
industry was "up and running from about 1000 AD", but who was
responsible for it, and where the silver went, remain a mystery.
The obvious answer is that the Potosi silver mines were run by
the Vikings, for whose presence in the region from the tenth century
onwards much physical evidence exists. They are the leading
candidates for having mined and refined and smelted the silver at
Potosi. But here is our mystery. If it was then shipped from Potosi
down "the soft track" to the mountain fortress at Cerro Cora, why
was it re-smelted there? And why was the re-smelting considered a
secret to be kept from the reading public of the 20th century? And
is this all part of the same reason why the presence of the Vikings
in Paraguay seven hundred years ago is also a fact to be supressed?
The only certain answer to the silver mystery is that re-smelting
would only need to be done at the destination point. One idea that
comes to mind is the manufacture of a silver alloy in some
mysterious process. The second mountain, Cerro Ipir, provides a
possible pointer as to who might have been interested in receiving
all this silver.
Major Samaniego rose to the rank of general and became Paraguay's
Minister of Defence. Of Fritz Berger he said, "Despite his mental
aberrations, whatever he said, and whatever he predicted, always
turned out to be true."· Berger must have been psychic, for no other
explanation seems logical as the source for his information - "he
got it from the natives" appears highly improbable. Unfortunately,
respecting the fate of the precious artifacts found at Cerro Cora
and to which Berger referred in his letters, all one can know is
that they disappeared, and only the managers of the AGA organisation
know to where. The identity of the original artisans is likewise a
mystery. We might take the easy way out and discount the possibility
that such fantastic items ever existed, were it not for the one
thing which remains in situ and unexplained - the great subterranean
structure which cannot be entered, made of a material which appears
similar to that lining the mysterious underground tunnels of Ecuador
as described by von Daeniken in his book The Gold of the Gods.
Which race of South America centuries before Columbus could
construct an underground palace in "a Portland cement far in advance
of what we have today", a palace within a mountain extending for
more than 200 metres underground, the material of its fabric being
resistant to chipping or scratching by every modern drill and
possibly by conventional explosives too? None.
San Borondon, the strange disappearing island described in "A
Pagan Place - I", and Cerro Cora, in Fritz Berger's own words "The
Land of the Sleeping Beauty of the Forest" present modern science
with a dilemma.
In the 1960s, many investigators were agreed on the possibility
of a parallel universe, primarily to explain mysterious
disappearances of ships and aircraft. In the September/October 1966
edition of the magazine Planeta, French physicist Jerome Cardan
reported that since 1965, according to CERN nuclear scientist Robert
Gouiran, the United States had been conducting "serious
investigations" towards admitting "the existence of at least one
other universe co-existent with our own, and that a scientific
announcement was to be made soon."
In August 1965, Dr J H Christenson of the University of Columbia
and a member of the Academy of Science of New York, published in
Science Journal an article entitled "Time Reversal" which began: "An
audacious hypothesis suggests that there exists a ghost universe
similar to our world. There is only a very weak interaction between
the two universes such that we do not see the other world, and they
do not interfere with ours." After that - silence.
The problem for science is that a parallel world is not
consistent with the mathematics of Einstein's theories of
relativity, the bedrock upon which much of Western science is
founded. Einstein is on record as having said that should the
existence of a parallel universe be proved, his theories of
relativity would have to be consigned to the waste-paper bin, and
all manner of anomalies such as UFOs and time travel would become
possible. San Borondon and Cerro Cora suggest a parallel universe
which can be entered at certain times at certain "weak points" when
the "vibrations" change. The repercussions of abandoning Einstein
are something which modern science is most anxious to avoid.
Ultimately, however, is there a useful solution to be derived
from the foregoing for Paganism? In my opinion, most decidedly. The
Druid teachings, for example, are based on the doctrine of
reincarnation and the knowledge of the deities who preside over the
Underworld, an unknown space situated "in continental land or an
island". According to Druid doctrine, these localities are where the
deceased finds him/herself at the first death. To enter the
Underworld unprepared psychically will result in mental aberrations,
which probably explains the experience of Fritz Berger. In the third
and final part of "A Pagan Place" I would like to explore this
avenue, which may be of the greatest importance for Pagans.
