Point of View: I have a Biblical viewpoint on the world.  Out of place artifacts are evidence, I think, that the Flood actually happened.  News items or magazine articles that report them may not have the same perspective that Christians do.

When I read for instance, a scientific article that puzzles over our lack of genetic variability, I think of the Flood of Noah.  I would include that article here, without editing, because I expect Christians to use their filters on such an article. That does not mean that I agree with the evolutionary timeframe given in said article.

I think it’s more interesting when general newspaper articles or science articles observe data that they might see one way, but that Christians might see another way given our own knowledge about God, creation and the flood.  It’s more interesting to quote Stephen Jay Gould saying that ‘the lack of transitional fossils is the trade secret of paleontology’, than it might be to hear another Christian say it.

So, no I don’t believe the universe is millions or billions of years old.  I don’t know how old it isn’t I just know who created it and how long it took Him. I do not believe in pre-Adamic races, though I do believe that there were ‘civilizations’ prior to the Flood.  I don’t believe in space aliens or cooties.  I expect you to use your own knowledge filter on this site.

INTRO

Do unexplained technologies of the ancients provide possible proofs of Pre-flood civilizations? If you believe that the flood of Noah actually happened, what was the state of the technology of pre-flooders? Could they have left physical evidence of their existence?

Much of what we think we know about the past is wrong. Columbus discovered America? That’s wrong for so many reasons–and must have come as some surprise to the people who were living here at the time. First manned flight by the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk? No! Marconi invented the radio? Not at all!

Why is the oldest pyramid, the Great Pyramid, the one built with the highest technology; bigger blocks with closer fit? “Newer” pyramids are crumbling because they were built with less skill. Some are suggesting that the Great Pyramid of Giza is much, older (relatively) than previously thought.

It’s also been said that the Great Pyramid is the largest and most accurately designed single building in the world even by today’s standards.

On these pages, we want to look at history through another lense.

Photo 1, is a section of a relief on an Egyptian temple wall at Abydos; (photo by Dr. Ruth Hover). Photo 2, the Saqqara Bird. Both items are dated at a minimum of 2000 years. Note the other interesting bas relief objects in Photo 1.

The Saqqara Bird is the cargo plane in the Logo Picture at the top of this web page and the helicopters and chase planes are also electronically snipped items from the wall at Abydos in Photo 1. More about these and other such items later.

I may not agree completely with all of the statements or conclusions reached by Anthropologist/author Jonathan Gray, but this discussion of some of the themes of his book Dead Men’s Secrets, dovetails very well with the things covered on these pages and will serve as my intro:

“..On November 17, 3398 B.C., two billion people, with their astonishing technology, vanished from the face of the earth. This lost super race beat us to the moon(?), to computers, and to nuclear war.

A cosmic disaster occurred which wiped out a super civilization and generated 6,000 foot tidal waves the disaster known to early civilizations worldwide as the great flood (the deluge mentioned in the book of Genesis in the Bible, for which Noah constructed the Ark to save a remnant of mankind). :

…The descendants of this super race branched out from Ararat (Armenia) to create civilizations less advanced technologically, but still with some knowledge of their original civilization.

The theory of evolution, which believes in the gradual progression of man, cannot stand up to the evidence governed by the laws of thermo-dynamics. The evidence of fully developed cities and an advanced technology of a superior man, whose society deteriorated over time is irrefutable. :

…Early “cave men” wore clothes like ours? That man knew the secret of flight before the twentieth century?

That early civilizations performed open-heart surgery and fluoroscopy? That there were once shining cities illuminated by a means of electricity unknown to us today. The list is endless and fascinating, pointing to a super civilization, evidences of which can no longer be ignored. :

..Archaeological and anthropological evidence that something very big happened on this planet in the past..something so big it wiped traces of just about everything from the face of the earth. From around the world, “impossible” ancient inventions have been surfacing of late, and some of them from a technology as advanced as our own. :

Nearly all the writings of ancient people worldwide tell the same story, that of decline from an original “Golden Age.” That a cataclysmic disaster wiped out the advanced world. Today’s diggings worldwide show that these traditions tally with the facts.

Enormous stone masses or metal fragments are there; they cannot be argued away.

(Photo shows ancient stone hewn from single block and weighs at least 2.4 million pounds. No modern crane could move it. More later.)

I believe that this original advanced world, gave impetus to all succeeding civilizations, and is well within the framework of scientific thinking. :

PHYSICAL REMAINS ALSO:

There are recently discovered artifacts that cannot be dismissed, namely, objects of metal sitting in museums, unquestionably made in the ancient world, that would have required very advanced technology to produce. A technology not to be repeated until our day. :

The entire world is really a “dead man’s tomb,” a treasure hunter’s paradise. As we pry open the coffin, suspense builds. Slowly we’re lifting the lid on a lost technology which almost smacks of science fiction?

THE DELUGE:

The global flood catastrophe is one of the key facts of all history. Not only is there a mass of geological evidence,it has left an indelible impression on the memory of the entire human race.

An analysis of some 600 individual flood traditions reveals a widespread concurrence on essential points: the prior corruption of mankind, a flood warning unheeded by the masses, a survival vessel, the preservation of up to eight people with representative animal life, the sending forth of a bird to determine the suitability of reemerging land, significance in the rainbow, descent from a mountain, and the re-population of the whole earth from a single group of survivors.

(Photo: under water monument off the coast of Japan) Especially remarkable is the persistence of that biblical name Noah. And this is particularly so when you consider the ultimate language differences between peoples, and the extreme local distortions which (developed in flood legends.

Yet the name survived virtually unchanged in such isolated places as Hawaii (where he was called Nu-u), the Sudan (Nuh), China (Nu-Wah), the Amazon region (Noa), Phrygia (Noe) and among the Hottentots (Noh and Hiagnoh). :

SUDDEN APPEARANCE:

Are you aware that “ALL CULTURES BEGAN SUDDENLY” and were fully developed? A long preliminary period is not supported by archaeology. Before cities on earth, there was nothing. There was no transition whatsoever between the ancient civilizations and any primitive forebearers. They were at their peak from the beginning. :

…Great cities, enormous temples, pyramids of overwhelming size. Colossal statues with tremendous expressive power. Luxurious tunnels and tombs. Splendid streets flanked by magnificent sculpture, perfect drainage systems. A decimal system at the very start.

A ready-made writing, already perfected. A well established naming system (in which each Pharaoh had as many as five names). Society already divided into specialist classes. An army, civil service and hierarchy minutely organized. A court exhibiting all the indications of well-defined precedence and form. Egypt came from a clearly established civilization.

The only conclusions that can be drawn from the evidence is that,

1) Each of the first civilizations appeared suddenly, already fully developed.

2) That a connection existed between them.

3) Their footprints led back to the Middle East mountains where Noah and his family left the Ark. :

The sudden appearance of civilization is itself a memorial to history’s one great catastrophe. More importantly, the flood is a historical event of tremendous testimonial importance to modern man…… :

Ancient Maps:

….hard evidence that shows the ancient’s knowledge of planet earth as seen through their cartographers eyes was far more sophisticated than we have previously supposed. Their maps are surprisingly accurate and reveal knowledge of parts of the earth that were not known until very recently. They also show profound changes have taken place in man’s lifetime since the flood, especially at the poles as you shall see. :

Maps drawn from the 11th to the 17th century were obviously copied from maps probably drawn thousands of years before. Some maps show Greenland and Antarctica free of ice. (The Piri Reis Map from 1513 shows Antartica):

HAD TO BE COPIES

Obviously these maps..had to have been copied from earlier sources. They display a scientific achievement far surpassing the abilities of the navigators and map-makers of the Renaissance, Middle Ages, the Arab world, or any ancient geographers.

THEY HAD TO BE THE PRODUCT OF AN UNKNOWN PEOPLE ANTEDATING RECOGNIZED HISTORY.–end of quote

” Science supports the Bible. That’s just how it is. On the other hand, there’s the theory of Evolution which is not science. What sustains it? FAITH !Science as Religion.

One has to believe that all matter is self created, that this matter in turn created intelligence and; in spite of the fact that it has never been seen, that this inorganic self-creating matter then created life in opposition to observed science. All of this in violation of the 1st and 2nd law of Physics, probability theory, biogenesis and common sense.

This belief system necessitates extraordinary explanatory contortions, strange suppositions and sleight of hand. For example, since catastrophic events in our history would lend too much credence to the truth of the Flood of Noah event, those theories are avoided. It is thought and promoted that man has evolved both physically and technologically from the primitive to the modern on a uniform basis.

Given that presupposition, what do you do as a scientist when you encounter ancient artifacts produced by antique high technology?

As a scientist, you’d better be careful what you say or risk ridicule and professional suicide. As a result one can wind up convincing oneself, other scientific disciplines and the public that these things can be explained by elbow grease or some other arcane theory which is best not examined too closely.  (That’s how items like true optical lenses get described as “worship artifacts”–because everyone knows the ancients didn’t have optical lenses).

If the Bible account is true, evidence in the form of archeological artifacts and the like should be occasionally found in the fossil and archeological record–and they are!

On subsequent pages I discuss some of the evidence that indicates that what we’ve been told by science may not be entirely accurate. One note of caution: this information comes from a variety of sources with a variety of beliefs and ideas behind them.

My viewpoint is that of Christians who believe that there is one God and that He created the universe at some time in the past– nowhere near millions or billions of years ago.

Exactly how long ago is besides the point. I believe that there was a worldwide flood and that evolution as an explanation for our existence is a fairy tale. If you believe differently perhaps we can at least agree that what we’re being told about origins and the past is seriously flawed.
