and purpose of divine intervention may clarify somewhat the issue. to the casual thinker and the untrained occult student it might appear that given an almighty deity or planetary logos he could with little trouble and much usefulness and compassion intervene in this sad world situation and bring to an end the warring of the nations through the medium of some spectacular happening, some dramatic cataclysm of natural process or some supreme appearing which would work much good. it might, it could be argued, conclusively convince the attacking, aggressive groups that their day is ended and that their efforts had better be drawn to an immediate finish. would that it were so relatively simple a matter; but the laws of nature, the free will of humanity itself and the inevitability of karma com

n" history. they were the kings and queens who claimed the "divine right" to rule because of their bloodline- the bloodline of the gods. these ancient royal lines in places like egypt, sumer, and the indus valley, had a white skin and often blue eyes, yet they were known as the dragon kings or serpent kings by those who knew the secret of their hybrid nature. lemuria was destroyed by a staggering cataclysm that struck the earth, maybe 11,500 to 12,000 years ago. atlantis went the same way, in stages, over the thousands of years that followed. the universal stories of the great flood are related to this. when atlantis came to an end amid more enormous geological upheavals, the bloodlines and their "gods" began again in the near and middle east from about 4,000bc with an empire based in sume

to explore the earth, they seeded the land that is known as atlantis, which is said to have been in the atlantic on the geologically unstable mid-atlantic ridge. samsel says that early atlanteans were a dark-skinned people, not unlike the native americans. he believes the native american people are directly descended from lemurians and atlanteans who settled in the americas before the first great cataclysm some 48,000 years ago and native american legends support this theme.17 his view is that in those earlier days of atlantis and lemuria the people 18 children of the matrix lived under the "law of one, the understanding that everything is the same energy expressing itself in different forms. the law of one is the knowledge that everything is connected to everything else and ultimately all

t, india and tibet came under the control of the empire. the one temple was divided and ineffective, the sun temple flourished and the sons of belial prospered. during that time, one law priests were leading migrations of the red race west to the americas and east to africa. they sought to preserve the law of one and so they built new circles in the far lands".19 samsel says that the second great cataclysm brought an end to atlantis. he believes that they used their "super weapons" against what we now call china and they tried to "utilize the earth as a great conductor through which to direct at their adversaries" using the vast crystal, which is a common theme in atlantean stories. but, he says, the "earth hurled the force back upon them" and the final, disastrous, cataclysm was triggered

nographer, maurice ewing, wrote in national geographic magazine, that "either the land must have sunk two or three miles or the sea must once have been two or three miles lower than now. either conclusion is startling."25 when european explorers first landed in the canary islands the people said they were descendants of the atlanteans and were shocked to realise that other people had survived the cataclysm that destroyed their homeland. the geological and biological evidence also suggests that the widespread volcanic activity that caused the sinking of the land in the region of the azores happened at the same time as the break up and sinking of the land mass known as appalachia, which connected what we now call europe, north america, iceland and greenland.26 even their degree of submergenc

oint. it throws the whole system out. greenwich was chosen by a committee only in 1884 despite protests by one prominent member, the astronomer royal of scotland, charles piazzi smyth, that the 0 degree meridian should run through the great pyramid. flem-ath has further established that some 50 sacred sites in mexico are aligned to a north pole located in the hudson bay area, as it was before the cataclysm.39 even those built since the upheavals have been placed on older sites that aligned with the old north pole. the same is true of rosslyn chapel near edinburgh in scotland.40 this is an illuminati "holy grail" full of their ancient symbolism and built by the st clair-sinclair family, one of the foremost of the illuminati bloodlines and one of the founding forces behind the knights templa

remote asian monasteries going back tens of thousands of years. this evidence supports the view that the continent known as mu or lemuria now rests on the bed of the pacific. the polynesian tribes and other related peoples retain many legends of their sunken land of origin and easter island natives in the 22 children of the matrix pacific claim their land was once part of a continent destroyed by cataclysm.42 a chinese text found in a buddhist cave called dunhuang in western china in 1900 included fragments of a map that featured an island continent in the pacific.43 south american legend tells the same story of their ancestors arriving from a lost continent, among them a guy called aramu muru, who carried the knowledge of the lemurian brotherhood or mystery school.44 the hopi tribe in ari

led that the 50,000 wild plants he examined from around the world originated in only eight areas- all of them mountainous.61 in james churchward's view this would have been because the mountains were formed during the cataclysms and therefore many lowland areas were raised to a great height. according to ancient accounts, supported by much other evidence, when the earth had settled down after the cataclysm, or cataclysms, the survivors began to return from the high mountains north of sumer in turkey and iran into the plains of mesopotamia. it was in the turkish mountains, on mount ararat, that the symbolic noah's ark came to rest when the waters receded, the bible claims.62 the sumerian tablets also relate how the anunnaki "gods" returned to rebuild and restore their devastated heartlands

mi5 (figure 6. according to the story, the design for the great seal was handed to the founding father and rosicrucian, thomas jefferson, by a mysterious stranger dressed in a cape with a hood that covered his face. after the end of atlantis the survivors took this symbol to places like egypt and from there it continued to be used by the llluminati secret society network that reemerged after the cataclysm. the three-pronged trident was the symbol of the royal line of atlantis and this later became the three-pointed fleur-de-lis, a symbol of the llluminati bloodline to this day. the key atlantean "god" was the fire god, votan38 who would turn up later in the americas and europe as wotan and wodan. the american organisation, the lemurian fellowship, which researches the history of the lost

eavals re-emerged from the mountains and underground shelters and began to rebuild a shattered world. we are perhaps talking of around 7,000 years ago when atlantis was finally destroyed, although there are differing opinions on the precise timescale. some ancient accounts say that the extraterrestrial "gods (the "anunnaki" of the sumerian tablets) left the planet in their flying craft during the cataclysm and returned when it was over. wherever the surviving bloodlines and descendants of the mystery school initiates of atlantis and lemuria resettled, advanced civilisations began to reappear. egypt, china and the indus valley in india were among them, but the most significant became known as sumer between the euphrates and tigris rivers in what we now call iraq (figure 9. lawrence augustin

ns "when the 'gods' began to physically interbreed with the atlantean people, we see the introduction of the 'royal lineage, the 'royal bloodlines' that were put into positions of power and rulership over the atlantean people so long ago. those of the royal bloodline were looked upon as gods by the general population of atlantis of the time. these ruled atlantis until the event of the first great cataclysm, which brought the lemurian-early atlantic age to a close. that the reptilian influence over humanity in this area took place in a similar manner, at roughly the same point in time or shortly thereafter, is..likely to be the case "the human race has been influenced and controlled since approximately 70,000 years bce or midway through the lemurian-early atlantic age. this involved several

of the hybrids this far back in history still had clear reptilian features, especially some sort of scaly skin on the chest. in the hindu classic, the mahabharata, a "demi-god" hybrid called kama was born from the union between an earth woman and the sun god, surya. the child is described as being "clad in a coat of armour, like a divine being. by the time of "noah, just before the final atlantis cataclysm, humans were rebelling against the control of the anunnaki-nefilim and those of the hybrid bloodline were seriously unpopular. they were said to wear the "badge of shame, which could have been a patch of reptilian skin, particularly on the chest. the anunnaki "gods" began to hide their true nature for the same reason and operated behind the cover of the humanreptilian priesthood who were

nipulating from behind the scenes and through their hybrid bloodlines, and they are on the brink of replacing their formerly overt global empire (their old world order) with their covert global empire (their new world order. they are the hidden force behind the introduction of the global centralisation of power that is exploding all around us today. the anunnaki, at least after the final atlantis cataclysm, sought to hide their reptilian form by keeping out of public view as much as possible. now you see them, now you don't the reptilian bloodlines covertly operating within human society created many of the ancient mystery schools to hoard the knowledge of true history, and the esoteric and technological expertise of atlantis, lemuria, and the post-cataclysmic world, especially the sumer e

. prince votan's arrival in north america was celebrated with an annual ceremony known as thanksgiving, later stolen by the european pilgrims and still a major festival in the united states.43 a key area for illuminati rituals and mind control projects is mount shasta in northern california and this is also at the centre of many legends about "serpents" and lemurians settling before and after the cataclysm. as with all of these former atlantean and lemurian peoples, they were obsessed with building structures on the vortex points. some 40,000 stone circles, pyramids, and mounds were built in north america.44 burning flames were often placed on the top of the mounds and they were never allowed to be extinguished. these were the symbol of the "great spirit" or "serpent fire, a continuation o

sion of highly advanced knowledgethat was later lost to most people. in every culture throughout the world are ancientstories and texts which describe the gods who brought this advanced knowledge. thiswould again explain the mystery of how the ancients had a phenomenal understandingof astronomy. there are endless legends all over the world of a time they call thegolden age, which was destroyed by cataclysm and the fall of man. the ancientgreek poet, heslod, described the world before the fall:man lived like gods, without vices or passions, vexation or toil. in happy companionshipwith divine beings (extraterrestrials, they passed their days in tranquillity and joy, livingtogether in perfect equality, united by mutual confidence and love. the earth was morebeautiful than now, and spontaneous

affected either its surface, atmosphere, speed and angle of orbit or rotation.i think the themes of the sumerian tablets are correct, but i doubt some of their detail,not least because of the vast period that passed between 450,000 years ago when theanunnaki are said to have arrived, and the time, only a few thousand years ago, whenthese accounts were written down. there was certainly an enormous cataclysm on theearth around 11,000 bc which destroyed the advanced civilisations of the high-techgolden age and that date of 13,000 years ago is highly significant and very relevant tothe time we are living through now. just as the planets of the solar system revolvearound the sun, so the solar system revolves around the centre of the galaxy, or this partof it at least. this central sun or galact

, the light source, and for the second 13,000years it is tilted away, some researchers believe. these cycles are therefore verydifferent as the planet is bathed in positive light for 13,000 years and then moves intothe darkness for the next 13,000. this fundamentally affects the energy in which weall live. interestingly, it was 13,000 years ago that the golden age would appear to haveconcluded in cataclysm and conflict, and today, with the 13,000 year cycle of darknessreaching its conclusion, there is a rapid global spiritual awakening and incredible eventsawait us in the next few years. we are entering the light again. so there was a fantasticcataclysm around 13,000 years ago which brought an end to the high-tech civilisationsof the golden age. but was it the only one? the evidence sugges

truth in all the views summarised in this chapter of the cataclysmicupheavals the earth has suffered in the period between 11,000 and 1,500 bc. the firstone ended the golden age and obliterated the high-tech civilisations that had existedbefore then. the extraterrestrial races either left the planet beforehand or survived athigh altitudes or by going deep within the earth. the same with the later cataclysm.many of the extraterrestrials, and most earth humans, did not survive these events.those that did were left with the job of starting all over again without, at least at first,the technology available before. the survivors fell into two main categories, those ofmostly extraterrestrial origin who retained the advanced knowledge, and humans, theslave race in general, who did not. the former

look at this, the more it is clear to me that whatthe reptilians did on mars they have done here. they infilitrated the home populationthrough interbreeding and took the place over. it seems to me that there were alreadyreptile-aryan bloodlines among the martians when they came to earth. one of themain locations for the anunnaki and the martians or aryans, particularly during andafter the v enus cataclysm of around 4,800 bc, were the mountains of turkey, iran andkurdistan, and it was from here that they and their hybrids re-emerged when thewaters receded. it was they who created the instant advanced civilisations in the lowlands of sumer, egypt, babylon and the indus v alley. a particular centre for theanunnaki reptilians would seem to have been the caucasus mountains and this is anarea t

nof christianity and its arrogant indoctrination and imposition of its desperately limitedvision of life which has created a mind-prison for literally billions of people over almost2,000 years. all the worlds major religions, hinduism, christianity, judaism and islam,came out of the very same region of the middle and near east from which the aryanrace and the reptile crossbreeds emerged after the cataclysm of perhaps 7,000 years ago.these religions were designed to imprison the mind and engulf the emotions with fearand guilt. they were usually based on some saviour-god figure like jesus ormohammed and only by believing in them and following their dictates can we findgod and be saved. that is precisely what the babylonian priests said about nimrodwhen the blueprint for control-by-religion w

. as the reader will recall from part iii, it was believed that this deluge had swept over the entire earth at the end of the fourth sun: destruction came in the form of torrential rain and floods. the mountains disappeared and men were transformed into fish. 8 according to aztec mythology only two human beings survived: a man, coxcoxtli, and his wife, xochiquetzal, who had been forewarned of the cataclysm by a god. they escaped in a huge boat they had been instructed to build and came to ground on the peak of a tall mountain. there they descended and afterwards had many children who were dumb until the time when a dove on top of a tree gave them the gift of languages. these languages differed so much that the children could not understand one another.9 a related central american tradition

s thought to be the fifth and last. in similar fashion the oral traditions of ancient greece, collected and set down in writing by hesiod in the eighth century bc, related that prior to the present creation there had been four earlier races of men on earth. each of these was thought more advanced than the one that followed it. and each, at the appointed hour, had been swallowed up in a geological cataclysm. the first and most ancient creation had been mankind s golden race who had lived like the gods, free from care, without trouble or woe. with ageless limbs they revelled at their banquets. when they died it was as men overcome by sleep. with the passing of time, and at the command of zeus, this golden race eventually sank into the depths of the earth. it was succeeded by the silver race

course, there were four suns prior to our own. such minor differences concerning the precise number of destructions and creations envisaged in this or that mythology should not distract us from the remarkable convergence of ancient traditions evident here. all over the world these traditions appear to commemorate a widespread series of catastrophes. in many cases the character of each successive cataclysm is obscured by the use of poetic language and the piling up of metaphor and symbols. quite frequently, also, at least two different kinds of disaster may be portrayed as having occurred simultaneously (most frequently floods and earthquakes, but sometimes fire and a terrifying darkness. all this contributes to the creation of a confused and jumbled picture. the myths of the hopi, however

7. graham hancock fingerprints of the gods 197 chapter 25 the many masks of the apocalypse like the hopi indians of north america, the avestic aryans of pre-islamic iran believed that there were three epochs of creation prior to our own. in the first epoch men were pure and sinless, tall and long lived, but at its close the evil one declared war against ahura mazda, the holy god, and a tumultuous cataclysm ensued. during the second epoch the evil one was unsuccessful. in the third good and evil were exactly balanced. in the fourth epoch (the present age of the world, evil triumphed at the outset and has maintained its supremacy ever since.1 the end of the fourth epoch is predicted soon, but it is the cataclysm at the end of the first epoch that interests us here. it is not a flood, and yet

rves more vivid memories in its myths than any other; that of the so-called teutonic tribes of germany and scandinavia, a culture best remembered through the songs of the norse scalds and sages. the stories those songs retell have their roots in a past which may be much older than scholars imagine and which combine familiar images with strange symbolic devices and allegorical language to recall a cataclysm of awesome magnitude: in a distant forest in the east an aged giantess brought into the world a whole brood of young wolves whose father was fenrir. one of these monsters chased the sun to take possession of it. the chase was for long in vain, but each season the wolf grew in strength, and at last he reached the sun. its bright rays were one by one extinguished. it took on a blood red hu

rious times there have been terrible natural disasters. but there has not been a single occasion in the past 5000 years when mankind as a whole can be said to have faced extinction. has this always been so? or is it possible, if we go back far enough, that we might discover an epoch when our ancestors were nearly wiped out? it is just such an epoch that seems to be the focus of the great myths of cataclysm. scholars normally attribute these myths to the fantasies of ancient poets. but what if the scholars are wrong? what if some terrible series of natural catastrophes did reduce our prehistoric ancestors to a handful of individuals scattered here and there across the face of the earth, far apart, and out of touch with one another? we are looking for an epoch that will fit the myths as snug

undisputably those of modern humans, and supplanting the neanderthals completely by about 35,000 years ago.9 in summary, human beings like ourselves, whom we could pass in the street without blinking an eyelid if they were shaved and dressed in modern clothes, are creatures of the last 115,000 years at the very most and more probably of only the last 50,000 years. it follows that if the myths of cataclysm we have reviewed do reflect an epoch of geological upheaval experienced by humanity, these upheavals took place within the last 115,000 years, and more probably within the last 50,000 years. cinderella s slipper it is a curious coincidence of geology and palaeoanthropology that the onset and progress of the last ice age, and the emergence and proliferation of modern man, more or less sha

t some point between 12-13,000 years ago a destroying frost descended with horrifying speed upon siberia and has never relaxed its grip. in an eerie echo of the avestic traditions, a land which had previously enjoyed seven months of summer was converted almost overnight into a land of ice and snow with ten months of harsh and frozen winter.24 a thousand krakatoas, all at once many of the myths of cataclysm speak of times of terrible cold, of darkened skies, of black, burning, bituminous rain. for centuries it must have been like that all the way across the arc of death incorporating immense tracts of siberia, the yukon and alaska. here, interspersed in the muck depths, and sometimes through the very piles of bones and tusks themselves, are layers of volcanic ash. there is no doubt that coi

k astronomer from his pedestal as the discoverer of precession unless we can find a significantly more accurate value recorded in a significantly more ancient source. of course, there are many potential sources. at this point, however, in the interests of succinctness, we shall limit our inquiry to universal myths. we have already examined one group of myths in detail (the traditions of flood and cataclysm set out in part iv) and we have seen that they possess a range of intriguing characteristics: 1 there is no doubt that they are immensely old. take the mesopotamian flood story, versions of which have been found inscribed on tablets from the earliest strata of sumerian history, around 3000 bc. these tablets, handed down from the dawn of the recorded past, leave no room for doubt that the

hat no scholar has ever been able to establish a date for the creation of any myth, let alone for these venerable and widespread traditions. in a very real sense they seem always to have been around part of the permanent baggage of human culture. 2 the possibility cannot be ruled out that this aura of vast antiquity is not an illusion. on the contrary, we have seen that many of the great myths of cataclysm seem to contain accurate eye-witness accounts of real conditions experienced by humanity during the last ice age. in theory, therefore, these stories could have been constructed at almost the same time as the emergence of our subspecies homo sapiens sapiens, perhaps as long as 50,000 years ago. the geological evidence, however, suggests a more recent provenance, and we have identified th

technical arguments of de santillana. 2 what those arguments predominantly concern is the recurrent and persistent transmission of a precessional message in a wide range of ancient myths. and, strangely enough, many of the key images and symbols that crop up in these myths notably those that concern a derangement of the heavens are also to be found embedded in the ancient traditions of worldwide cataclysm reviewed in chapters twentyfour and twenty-five. in norse mythology for example, we saw how the wolf fenrir, whom the gods had so carefully chained up, broke his bonds at last and escaped: he shook himself and the world trembled. the ash-tree yggdrasil was shaken from its roots to its topmost branches. mountains crumbled or split from top to bottom. the earth began to lose its shape. alr

forms, multiples and combinations, all over the ancient world. an example was given in chapter thirty-three the norse myth of the 432,000 fighters who sallied forth from valhalla to do battle with the wolf. a glance back at that myth shows that it contains several permutations of precessional numbers. likewise, as we saw in chapter twenty-four, ancient chinese traditions referring to a universal cataclysm were said to have been written down in a great text consisting of precisely 4320 volumes. thousands of miles away, is it a coincidence that the babylonian historian berossus (third century bc) ascribed a total reign of 432,000 9 death of gods in ancient egypt, p. 205. 10 ibid. 11 ibid. graham hancock fingerprints of the gods 254 years to the mythical kings who ruled the land of sumer bef

smic society would only begin with the records left by humanity once they had re-advanced to a certain designer history 15 level. only then would they write or symbolise accounts of their history and this would be based on stories passed verbally through the earlier generations. such a point could take hundreds, even thousands, of years after the global geological destruction. so it was after the cataclysms of our ancient past. conventional "history" says that the "cradle" of civilisation was sumer, in the land between the rivers tigris and euphrates in what we now call iraq and once known as mesopotamia("between two rivers. the sumerian period is estimated to have spanned the millennia between 4000 and 2000bc. historians say that other, independent, civilisations of great advancement also

and all the evidence points to the existence of a well-organised, even luxurious civilisation. all this was achieved within a comparatively short period of time, for there appears to be little or no background to these fundamental developments in writing and architecture."13 the question still to be answered is whether the incredible feats of building like the pyramids originate before the great cataclysms, which destroyed the legendary golden age (in other words, maybe upwards of 10,000 years ago and far longer, or were they built by the sumer empire which emerged when the world had again reached an advanced level of society after the upheavals. i have no doubt that it was a mixture of both. in the light of the rapidly emerging evidence, and the 16 children of the matrix fundamental re-a
