Out of Place Artifacts? 

I write my sto­ries as his­to­ri­cal fic­tion, which means that regard­less of my plot, the back­ground must range from a real event in his­tory to a semi-plausible alter­nate pos­si­bi­lity to give the story some groun­ding in rea­lity. When I write about something that is sup­po­sed to take place lar­gely 15 thou­sand years before recor­ded human his­tory, this lea­ves me with very little with which to work (or some may argue, more crea­tive free­dom). Sure, we have a pretty rea­so­na­ble view of what hap­pe­ned with man­kind from about 6 thou­sand years ago until pre­sent time, but much before that is shrou­ded in legend and mys­tery. Modern scien­ces of paleo­logy and archaeo­logy assert that before recor­ded civi­li­za­tion, humans were lar­gely hunter-gatherers who lived in caves, made stone and cop­per imple­ments, and inven­ted sto­ries of power­ful gods to help them explain their surroun­dings. The­re­fore, these sto­ries are the basis for the legends and reli­gions of this world.

Modern scien­ti­fic conc­lu­sions are based on sta­tis­tics. If we find enough sites with notched ani­mal bones, stone kni­ves, and human remains at a cer­tain depth in the ground (strata) that repre­sents a par­ti­cu­lar time period, we can start to piece together sta­tis­tics regar­ding the lifestyle and tech­no­logy level of humans during that time. Con­ver­sely, if a soda can is unearthed in the same depth, the can is recog­ni­zed as recent tech­no­logy and regar­ded as a con­ta­mi­na­tion, and the­re­fore con­si­de­red an out­lier in the sta­tis­ti­cal popu­la­tion. Just as it should be.

What hap­pens if an object is found that can­not be recon­ci­led to current tech­no­logy. Say, metal wire embed­ded in solid rock or a san­da­led foot­print in undis­tur­bed sands­tone next to dino­saur tracks. Well, this poses a pro­blem. The arti­fact “must” have been for­med at a date so far back in time as to be com­ple­tely sepa­ra­ted from currently accep­ted facts. These “arti­facts” become “out­lier” data and con­se­quently ignored.

Some nota­ble out­lier arti­facts and ancient sites make for inte­res­ting spe­cu­la­tion as to the real state of affairs ver­sus the his­to­ri­cal record that is rea­dily accep­ted by the scien­ti­fic com­mu­nity. Some of these ano­mo­lies may be explai­ned as the result of the follo­wing possibilities:

1. Tech­no­logy deve­lo­ped recently and (somehow) mixed with the strata or site
2. Tech­no­logy deve­lo­ped by humans and then sub­se­quently lost
3. Tech­no­logy deve­lo­ped and used by someone other than humans, then left behind

Here are some nota­ble exam­ples of what I am desc­ri­bing. Read and decide for yourself:

• Accu­rate relief maps car­ved in solid dolomite
• Evi­dence of a crash lan­ding ca. 12,000 years ago in Tibet.
• Quartz and stone skulls car­ved against the natu­ral crys­ta­lline structure
• The dis­co­very of nano-artefacts dated from the upper Pleis­to­cene and found in the Ural mountains
• Elec­tric bat­tery power exis­ting 2000 years ago
• Are these elec­tric lights being used by the ancient Egyptians?
• Brid­ges across large expan­ses of water in Sri Lanka
• Airc­raft models
• A spark plug-like device extrac­ted from the inside of a geode
• Writ­ten accounts (with phy­si­cal evi­dence pre­sent) of ato­mic bombs used in war­fare in India
• Piri Reis Map — Par­tial world map made from ancient sour­ces — How was it so accurate?

Sure, these are iso­la­ted ins­tan­ces and some of the evi­dence may even­tually turn out to be flimsy at best, but the the­mes are dupli­ca­ted in other parts of the world and none are taken seriously by the scien­ti­fic community.

Next con­si­der ancient legends and wri­tings that desc­ribe plu­ral gods of fan­tas­tic powers. Zeus who could throw light­ning bolts, Indian gods who rode in flying ships called vima­nas, and Egyp­tian gods that could raise the dead.

Why have I rea­rran­ged our Solar System?

You may notice that in the early parts of my story, I have rea­rran­ged the solar sys­tem. Venus and Mars are large and habi­ta­ble moons of a lar­ger pla­net called Aleph. This is the pla­net that the “Gods” chose for their home.

Regar­ding Aleph, my story line also depends on the asser­tion that a pla­net in our solar sys­tem has explo­ded in the not-too-distant past. Among other theo­ries, such as that pro­po­sed by Imma­nuel Veli­kovsky, another more plau­si­ble theory of this explo­sion and simi­lar other much older catas­trophies are pre­sen­ted in the link below as one of the theo­ries of Tom Van Flan­dern who recei­ved his Ph.D. degree in Astro­nomy, spe­cia­li­zing in celes­tial mecha­nics, from Yale Uni­ver­sity in 1969. He spent 20 years at the U.S. Naval Obser­va­tory, where he became the Chief of the Celes­tial Mecha­nics Branch. Read the Explo­ded Pla­net Hypothesis.

Quan­tum Entanglement

One of the items of tech­no­logy used in the story depends on the recently vali­da­ted theory of Quan­tum Engan­gle­ment of which I apply in the story as a trans­por­ter of sorts. Here is the ori­gi­nal Scien­ti­fic Ame­ri­can article on Quan­tum Entanglement.

These asser­tions are not inten­ded to con­vince or per­suade anyone of the impli­ca­tions of the accu­racy of these finds. I leave that to your own disc­re­tion or ima­gi­na­tion. Howe­ver, to take them at face value cer­tainly makes for an inte­res­ting story line.
