et another excellent book from Adventures Unlimited Press, Technology of the Gods is a much-needed summary of all of the major (and most minor) types of ancient technology that have, in only the past few decades, begun to come to light. Childress' thesis is that there was an ancient, advanced, global civilization in the distant past that had mastered not only the more commonly accepted sciences such as astronomy and architecture, but also electricity, chemistry, powered flight and even atomic power. Moreover, though they had achieved the mastery of these great forces, they did not yet possess the discipline of how to use them properly. As a result, at least some of the ancient civilizations of the past were destroyed either through pointless warfare with their neighbors, or through the misuse of these advanced technologies.

These ancient civilizations, which existed in the world before the Flood, included Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean, the only remains of which are now the Azores islands; Osiria, now submerged under the Mediterranean Sea; Rama, submerged off the southeast coast of India, reaching possibly as far as Indonesia; Lemuria, a collection of large islands in the South Pacific; the ancient American Southwest, which some believe may have hosted its own antediluvian civilization; and others too numerous and fantastic to get into here. Until recently these ancient empires existed only in the myths, legends, and fertile imaginations of peoples scattered across the Earth. However, the work of maverick archaeologists such as Childress — who have ignored the academics who scoff at the idea of ancient civilizations, and even cover up evidence of their existence — has begun to bear fruit. Technology of the Gods is the first fruits of the field of ancient technological research, providing a summary of the major research to date regarding ancient technology, and how they point to the existence of an ancient, technologically sophisticated world that has been all but forgotten.

Perhaps most interesting is Childress' description of Egyptian technology, of which there was apparently a great deal. The classic "Denderah lightbulbs", two facades in the Temple of Hathor in Denderah, Egypt showing what could only be electric lightbulbs, actually grace the cover of the book, so critical are they as evidence for the emerging paradigm of a forgotten ancient world of advanced technology. And though the Denderah lightbulbs are indeed important in our understanding of the ancient world, perhaps the most important breakthrough in Egyptological studies in recent times has been Christopher Dunn's "Giza Power Plant" theory. The Giza Power Plant theory, which Childress discusses in depth, posits that the Great Pyramid of Giza as we know it is not a tomb or monument, but the remnant of a massive power generator that converted seismic and other types of energy into electricity. This electricity was then broadcast from the peak of the pyramid like a Tesla Tower, radiating wireless electrical current that was actually put to everyday use. However, as with all things, this technology was put to the wrong purpose and, some believe, the result was the last great world war before the Flood.

And there's much more. From flying "Vimana" aircraft, mercury vortex engines, inscrutable ancient Chinese machinery, massive megalithic structures impossible to duplicate today, and everything else currently under scrutiny by open-minded researchers in the field of alternative history, Childress provides a very satisfying summary with an important reminder — there is nothing new under the sun.

Technology of the Gods: The Incredible Sciences of the Ancients
Christopher P. Dunn
Rating:
Popular Lost Cities author David Childress opens the door to the amazing world of ancient technology, from the computers of the ancient world to the "flying machines of the gods." Technology of the Gods explores the technology that was allegedly used in Atlantis and the theory that the Great Pyramid of Egypt was originally a gigantic power station. Childress also uncovers many other mysteries, including:

The technology of ancient flight
How the ancients used electricity
Megalithic building techniques
The use of crystal lenses and the fire from the gods
Ancient evidence of high-tech weapons, including atomic weapons
The role of modern inventors, such as Nikola Tesla, in bringing ancient technology into modern use

Impossible artifacts, and more, much more. Childress has done it again! From beginning to end, Technology of the Gods is filled with facts, keen observations and tales that challenge modern assumptions in a humorous, intelligent and compelling way that is quintessential Childress.

The Land of Osiris
Stephen S. Mehler
Rating:
Egyptologist Stephen S. Mehler has spent over 30 years researching the answers to these questions:

Was there a advanced prehistoric civilization in ancient Egypt?
Who were the people who built the great pyramids?
Who carved the Great Sphinx?
Did the pyramids serve as energy devices and not as tombs for kings?

Mehler believes the answers are "Yes!" An indigenous oral tradition still exists in Egypt, he has been able to uncover and study it with the help of a living master of this tradition, Abd'El Hakim Awyan. He has also been given permission to share these teachings — presented heretofore in fragments by other researchers — to the Western world, teachings that unfold a whole new understanding of ancient Egypt.

The Giza Power Plant
Christopher P. Dunn
Rating:
Suspicion naturally arises when you read a promo line on a back cover that says, "This is the most important book concerning the Great Pyramid written in the last 20 years." In this case, however, it may be fact. In writing The Giza Power Plant, mechanical engineer Christopher Dunn reverse-engineered the Great Pyramid at Giza to discover its use. His startling conclusions blow the heck out of traditional Egyptology's rather silly notions that it was built with copper tools by a society that lacked the wheel. While revisionist pyramid studies are rife with ridiculous theories that give the topic a bad name, The Giza Power Plant takes into account existing fact and artifact without having to rely on unprovable assertions. A must-read for truth seekers who aren't afraid to consider the idea that Western culture of the 21st century may not be the pinnacle of human evolution and achievement. (Review by Amazon.com)

The Giza Death Star
Joseph P. Farrell
Rating:
Farrell theorized that the Great Pyramid was a terrible weapon of mass destruction, used by by a technological advanced ancient civilization in the mist of pre-history and sets today on the Giza Plateau disarmed but ready! Farrell's technical civilization is the 'doner' civilization that provided the foundation of the Egyptian civilization that existed in the Nile Valley some 5,000 years ago. What kind of civilization would have designed and built such an awsome weapon of mass destruction as envisioned by Farrell, and apparently used it with no hesitation against their fellow man? A civilization not unlike those that arose from the foundations and ashes of older extinct civilizations. A civilization subject to all the faults and foibles of human beings, hatred, love jealously and greed. No different than those in existance today and poised to destroy the world. Farrell speculates, the "Great Pyramid was a phase congugate mirror(magic mirror of legends),and howitzer, utilizing Bohm's 'pilot wave' as a carrier to acelerate electromagnetic and acoustal waves to a target via harmonic interfermetry." Ferrell believes that the chambers and passageways of the Great Pyramid were used as a series of loops to generate and amplyfy these gravito-acoustical waves and direct them to their target. Farrell finds traces of this ancient science he calls "Paleophysics" in the ancient and obsecure texts of Egypt. If Ferrell's asumptions are correct, this ancient weapons system was the most powerful weapon ever to exist on Earth. Even today, with our advanced technology, the technology involved in the building of this weapon system can only exist in dreams. This is the grist for the mills of science fiction that dream of the theories of Nikola Tessla, The Montouk Project, the Philadelphia Experiment, and Area 51. These are the technologies our government is allways accused of developing in secret labortories and witholding from the public. After reading the "Giza Death Star", readers will never be able to look at the Giza Plateau and its mysterious pyramids and buildings in the same old way! After reading the "Giza Death Star", find a copy of Hamlet's Mill and read it with a critical eye. Sleep well tonight, keeping in mind that a government scientist in a weapons laboratory at an isolated location may be reading these same works! (Review by Amazon.com)

The Giza Death Star Deployed
Joseph P. Farrell
Rating:
"The Giza Death Star Deployed" will completely change the way you think about ancient (pre-flood?) history. Though Mr. Farrell failed to convince of the fact that the Great Pyramid of Giza was necessarily a weapon, I am completely convinced that it was not built as a tomb. Joseph Farrell examines all the evidence, archaeological, historical, literary, and scientific, leaving no stone unturned. When I first picked up the book, I thought, as anyone would, "is he serious?". But even scanning through the book, I could tell that he was. Suffice it to say that you will never think of the pyramids of Giza the same. For a fresh look at ancient history (along with much, much more) read this book.
