We will continue with the asteroid information but first some interesting two articles by Sykes to be made available in a quick summary form:

 

Herbs used in An Operation, By E. Sykes

Dr. Humberto Covarrubias, a Peruvian surgeon and university professor, recently preformed an operation at the Cuzco Hospital (i.e. in 1968), using the same methods and instruments- and herbs- as the Incas used centuries ago. The patient was an Indian who had been seriously wounded by an angry bull. There was no screaming patient, for the operation began with a regular narcosis such as the Inca doctors would have used- a drink containing various herbs of narcotic effect. For the actual operation, the doctor used only the metal instruments customary among the Incas such as small scalpels, forceps, needles and tweezers. At the end of the operation, assistants using herbal disinfectants sewed the wound. After the operation, the doctor said the Incas knew methods of rejoining blood vessels with vegetable fibers and wool, of stopping bleeding with cobwebs and treating wounds by powdering them with ashes. "But above all," he said, "they possessed a magnificent knowledge of medicinal plants." He added, "Even today, doctors are constantly going to these districts where the Indians have preserved their ancient way of life in order to study the secrets of their methods of healing. The skills of these Inca doctors deserve sincere admiration." Medical News.

 

Fitting Atlantis In, By E. Sykes of late 1968

The reluctance to accept the possibility of the existence of an Atlantean culture, some thirteen thousand years which is manifested in various academic circles, may be attributed to certain basic causes. The first of these is that for many years we have been taught to consider the Greek stories of Gods, Heroes and Men, as being religious fictions instead of distorted versions of real history. Following on this is the marked reluctance to recast their ideas on the historical background of culture in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the adjacent continents of Africa, America, and Europe. At the moment everything is still quite tidy on the surface in spite of the wide cracks which are appearing as a result of the discovery, for example, that the ancient British were highly skilled astronomers, workers in precious stones, etc., as shown by Stonehenge and Sutton Hoo; that the First Dynasty Egyptians were also more skilled in these arts than were subsequent generations; that the same may be said so of the Mezo American and Andean Cultures; that even such descriptions of catastrophes as are given in the Eddas have a valid geographical background; etc., etc. The third point is that in many academic circles the professional existence of teachers and research workers is tied financially to a concept forbidding the admission of the Atlantean Culture. For example most text books carefully brush under the carpet any form of speculation as to the origin of the Maya/Aztec/Toltec calendrical systems, glyphic writings, the knowledge of astronomy, etc., and any young professor who dared to question the validity of the present set up would soon find himself without a job. (Webmaster note- i.e. its about control and money????) The same applies to Egyptology which has become ossified by sheer inertia. In Oceanography the fatuous doctrine of Dana: "Once an Ocean, always an Ocean," has become a keyword for the obtaining of subsidies from various Foundations, with the result that speculation has virtually died. Admitted that there has been a certain amount of activity in the occult field but here the results are inconclusive and inadequate to secure any form of official backing."

(Webmaster Note-Until recently Dr. Gregory Little (who is now around and about at the ARE Cayce site in V.B., Virginia) believes Cayce is right i.e. 'is dead on' in the Cayce's readings of previous civilizations and on ancient cultural migrations that Cayce commented on before the recent discoveries of mitochondria DNA showing signs of Basque-Laplander-Fin and some American associations at the 28,000 B.C. mark. Which we should include a group of people with that rare -A and -B Rh factor negative blood type as an introduced blood type surfacing up in those regions who almost out of nowhere came and closely related to the Basques, Armenians, and is possibly found before Columbus in the Americas. Note that I was at the ARE as a interested fellow of the Librarians at the ARE Library and eventually a member before 1981 . That is Charlotte and Burley Schone and Hugh Lynn Cayce I have met as well and before most others were even into Atlantis. To tell the truth at first the ARE felt the Atlantis material of Cayce was 'scientifically bothersome' but lightened up about it after 1968 when the book from the ARE at that time showed some promising sales in the early period of 'Pyramid Power' type books. This does not mean that the ARE did not care, but that it did not get a lot of interest till after 1984 and interest did not occur very much before this. Although, at that time I had made a point to seek that information and was in contact with Sykes and the ARE. It is my way of saying, " let it be known outside of Charles Brelitz and Maxine Asher that I was one of or the earliest Atlantean Scholar to visit the Library for that specific purpose of Atlantis material 'before anyone' with the exception of Egerton Sykes himself in 1966. That means between 1968- to 1981 they were the 'dead zone years' on much interest or activity about Atlantis subject from that library, only one serious book was produced at that time with surrounding dying interest. It was the brilliance and foresight of the Charlotte and the Rosecrucian Fellow Burley Schone that made the difference at that library on that particular subject who I commend both of them and the Cayce Family for bringing the information to the forefront with the Library money when many about that subject usually complained!!!!!

That is why I have a library of my own which in a sense means that this site is with all of the necessary backup has Atlantis library information in case if any information was to be lost. The public who until now have the perfect opportunity to know the truth i.e. for posterity sake and as well for this site is for free viewing. I must make it clear you can not copy the material exactly without contacting those who do have control of this information which is not myself, but others that gave permission under the acknowledgement of its said source, and the family that own really and essentially the true rights. This is why hundreds of articles are excluded from being posted on this atlantisite.com only just enough to give E. Sykes the due credit of firsts in this subject he rightly deserves as a modern father-uncle of Atlantology. Sinc. D. Clarke)

"Whatever may be our feelings about the political activities of the Russians it must be accepted that in Atlantology they are streets ahead of the rest of the world. The number of books and other publications from the (at the time) Soviet States since last war is ten times as much as from the whole western world, and, what is more, the quality is extremely high. Apart from N. TH. Zhirov, there are numerous other authors whose works have been reviewed in Atlantis over the last 21 years. If time permits a list of these will be given at the close of the article. Perhaps the major handicap to acceptance of Atlantis has laid in the fallacious assumption that man is a recent arrival on this planet, and the consequence discursions of a culture existing BC 10,000 was an absurd waste of time. However Hominoidea in the Old World are assumed by L.S.B. Leaky to have their origin as far back as the Oligocene, some 35 million years ago. Man as such occurred in the later Miocene some 25 million years ago, all the various diversionary races of non-men (Monkeys, etc.) having branched off before then. These figures give us a reasonable margin to allow for the development of an Atlantean Culture by BC 10,000, a process, which may have taken as much as 5,000 years. Actually Leakey stated that man as a tool using being was in existence in East Africa some 10 million years ago. Of course this knocks most of the concepts based on the Old Testament sideways as far as dates are concerned while leaving many of these early ideas so far relatively undisturbed. Over the years we have disputed the dating of many of the best writers, such as Velikovsky, on the ground that they are far to recent. But, provided that the time scale is adjusted, a mere matter of sliding the vernier down a couple of notches, the picture corresponds largely with ours. It is becoming reasonably obvious that in history the number of major catastrophes, such as that of Atlantis, is limited, and that when one hears of a series of such events occurring at different times it is far more likely that we have a series of misdated stories all referring to the same event." (Webmaster Note-Sykes is not saying that were not many events just that the stories world wide about the same event is always double or triple the number as opposed to the number of actual events.) One of the erroneous concepts which are put forward is that Atlantis may have had a technological civilization like our own. This is impossible, not because our ancestors may have lacked the inventive power needed for this purpose, but simply because the supply of certain essential raw materials on the earth is proving inadequate for one technical culture -our own- and would never have been enough for the two of them. For example we have managed to exhaust all known sources of mercury and are already at the stage where old instruments using metal are commanding a high price on the market simply for the mercury they contain. On the other side of the coin we have found no traces anywhere of the wide scale mining or production of any of the materials which are common today, in particular the non ferrous metals such as copper-supplies of which are already beginning to run short-, minerals such as coal, etc. In short answer is that our planet is in the midst of having all its natural resources drained away to provide our one and only technological culture. Future generations will have to go without unless they obtain supplies from the nearby planets. Finally there is no reason to suppose that the Atlanteans were any better behaved than us. Man's ascent to his present level has been a hard and bitter battle and assumptions that once in the past there was a civilization having higher moral and ethical standards than our own will not hold together. That individuals may have had a higher standard is not only possible but probable, but the whole culture was on such a level is contrary to all lessons of history and biology. What is happening to day is simply that with a higher standard of ethics and morals we have become increasingly aware of defects of our culture, in the past we were not aware of them as they corresponded with the current ideas. The "permissive" society of today is-one hopes -merely a flash in the pan, which may have the effect of eliminating practically an entire generation of young people.

 

The ATEIG OF VERSAILLES

In December issue we mentioned the formation of the New French organization for the Study of Inertia and Gravitation with headquarters at 67 Rue de La Paroisse, 78 Versailles. Sykes became a member of this organization a British Correspondent to them.

Webmaster Note-See what Sykes was doing back in 1968, and who was also aware of the Searl experiments which are still going on to day. My clue to all of you is that the US aircraft that has a Omicron, and Delta position uses some of the stuff discussed in the past of which for military, and political reasons I am not to discuss the natures of the hows and or whys. But will use a Mr. Wizard Kit metaphor-

"Gravity within itself has all the properties of what are laws found in magnetic field study, thus it does not take long for a child playing with magnets to understand why a board with a certain resistance to the earth's polarity can float nor why "a boat of Iron can float on water" ,as Cayce said in his readings, likewise the Atlanteans had in claiming the skies. By example in regards to ancient discovery, if you found a Mammoth and found it long since dead and bloated by methane gas and meanwhile your buddy throws a lance flint spear point at it but after the first dart it merely began to slowly leak with its gas. But the gas on the second spear shot is ignited by flint striking by a missed mark onto some spark producing rock, would not the first man have made possibly his first explosion or fireball possibly occurring. These are all things invention wise we all need to think about in regards to firsts. Does this mean if the prior civilization to this one did the same thing exact thing with possibly not yet extinct dinosaur would they not come to some similar conclusion i.e. a floating methane refined balloon of their guts and sinews? Science better wake up or they will find their pants down when the rumpled carpet begins to unfold. Especially in regards to what is possible or not. But, if we all just ignore the moral stewardship obligations to this Earth, we might not end up being allowed to go to another planet regardless of what we want from it. As far as this planet of the 'wolves or clowns' is concerned that we are a part of, that this earth might literally 'vault the faults' right from underneath us. Thus, yes the earth is beginning to warn us of our own obligations to her as first and foremost. We have come so far, how about our children's children future? Hmmm" by D. Clarke July 25th 2002 and on Birthday.

Meteorites, Hoerbiger and Atlantis, By E. Sykes

"When Hoerbiger enunciated his theory in 1931 nothing of import was known about meteorites or of the effect which their impact on the earth would have. In the various theories about the cause of Atlantis being destroyed, such as the head of Halley's Comet (Kamienski), an asteroid (Boneff) Moon Capture with the ice coating falling on earth (Hoerbiger), many people do not realize that to anybody on earth at the time there would not be the slightest difference between any of these causes, all of which would be put down to a large meteorite. In other words whatever the cause might be the result would be the same.

Until we have better mapping of the earth by satellites it is hard to visualize what a meteor crater of any size would look like. (Webmaster Note-try this site for starters-http://www.unb.ca/passc/ImpactDatabase/images.html) Nobody has given us a air photograph of the Ries Kessel in Germany or the Vredefort Ring in South Africa: a study of either would show that they were of meteoric origin. But on the moon, thanks to reasonable good photography by astronomical observatories or from missiles, it is possible to pick up details of some magnificent meteor craters such as Copernicus which is a bare 57 miles in diameter and some 3,300 feet deep." (See http://Nasa.gov)

I have maintained that the Caribbean Sea may be a meteorite crater, which was the cause of the sinking of Atlantis. But in order to establish this it will be necessary to have a photograph of the sea taken from say 600 miles up, which would enable one to spot possible fracture line spreading from it. Unfortunately the Caribbean is on the edge of the Florida missile launching station and it is doubtful, for security reasons, whether such a picture could be released. (Webmaster Note- still this is true to this day. But, there is a Caribbean Sea picture still available but is only marginal in information.) Again the Vredefort crater was the eastern end of the Campo del Cielo fall in the Argentine. Somewhere in between, in the Atlantic there might well be a large meteorite crater, smaller than Vredefort but still as large as Copernicus. Only Photographs taken from satellites would show this up. Meteorites tend to produce fused glass, known as tektites, on falling. Glass is usually assumed to be a fairly recent invention, but the myth of Atlantis tells of a Temple of Translucent Walls. One wonders if by any chance an early meteor fall, with its consequent tektites, may not have taught the Atlanteans how to make glass by subjecting sand to great heat? It would not have been as clear as modern glass but it would certainly have been transparent to light if not to sight. It has often been said that all the laws of nature as also all her secrets are visible beneath our feet if only we trouble to look for them. E.S.

 

An Odd Theory about Tunguskaya, By E. Sykes 1968

According to recent Soviet investigations the Tunguskaya Meteorite exploded in the air at a hieght of about 19,000 feet, whilst travelling at a mile per second, far below the average entry speed for such objects. However what is more interesting is that having passed over Mongolia in a NNE direction as far as Kezhma it suddenly veered to the NE direction to a place called Prebrazhenka, and then reversed its course travelling NW to Tunguskaya, as shown on the plan below, furnished by our member Andrew Thomas, who was in Moscow earlier this year. This erratic course is contrary to all expectations and one Wonders if perchance there was some form of magnetic force at Prebrazhenka which was strong enough to drag it from its normal course, and if so how was it that the meteorite was able to free itself? Of course there is the alternative that it was not a meteorite but an alien ship, but in that case one would have expected to discover some form of artifact showing that the object was technological. So far nothing giving the slightest clue has been discovered anywhere within the 55 klm. radius of destruction. I gather that the evidence of the passage over Preobrazhenka is reasonably satisfactory, as much as is possible for something, which happened sixty years ago. It is reported that the Dubna Atomic Center is endeavoring to check whether any radiation traces remain and if so what was the type: nuclear or anti-matter, on the presumption that the meteorite was technological and not natural. E.S. (Webmaster Note-Comets or asteroids do not do sharp right angles in flight paths. )
