Scientists still cannot clearly explain the phenomenon of the appearance on our planet of a Cro-Magnon man - a person of the modern type. This is really a mystery: instead of a beast-like low-browed Neanderthal 40 thousand years ago, somehow unexpectedly, “suddenly”, beautifully built tall handsome men with magnificent skulls began to inhabit the caves, whom Socrates would have envied. Where did these people come from?.. A
scientific sensation was the study of the genetic code of the Neanderthals: it turned out that it has very little in common with the genetic code of modern (Cro-Magnon) man. This discovery completely confused the evolutionary theory, according to which the Neanderthal is still included in the evolutionary tree of mankind. Now the ancient ancestor of man is simply unknown. Our "roots" are cut off 40 thousand years ago.
The answer to this riddle, although close to fiction, may contain messages scattered in ancient books, chronicles and chronicles about mysterious heavenly signs, flying "glories of God", "angels" and "sons of God" who descended from heaven and took as wives daughters of men. Such facts are reported by the compilers of the Bible, ancient historians and chroniclers. Historians and chroniclers knew nothing about UFOs and the possibilities of interplanetary contacts. Far from the problems of "star wars" that today's schoolchildren are so fond of, they have always tried to accurately and impartially describe various unusual phenomena - and therefore the ancient chronicles should be treated, if not with confidence, then at least with respect and interest. Comparison of chronicle messages gives rise to serious thought.
For example, the ancient Roman historian Plutarch tells how in the 1st century BC. in Phrygia (Asia Minor) for a decisive battle, the troops of the famous for their gluttony of the Roman commander Lucullus and the Spanish rebel Sertorius came together. The two armies approached in orderly ranks, until the battle was very little, when suddenly … “the sky opened up and a large body of fire appeared, which swept down into the gap between the two armies; it flew over the earth itself, and then soared up and disappeared again into the sky. " In appearance, writes Plutarch, the mysterious object most of all resembled a wide barrel, and in color it looked like molten silver. Frightened by a mysterious sign, the opponents dispersed without a fight. As you can see, the ancient Roman historian, known for his accuracy, gives … a typical description of a UFO! Maybe,somewhere in the archives of an unknown planet are stored "film materials" on which the real Lucullus appears surrounded by stern Roman legionaries.
A similar event is described by Homer in the Iliad, telling about the great war between the Greeks and the Trojans at the beginning of the 12th century BC. During the battle, "the goddess Athena in the form of a bright star sent by Zeus" swept among the fighting regiments, causing the soldiers to bewildered and making them think: who promises victory with this amazing sign?..
Reports of UFOs are also found in medieval European chronicles. Benvenuto Cellini, the famous Italian sculptor and Renaissance painter, describes how he and a friend once left Florence for Rome. It was already dark when they climbed the mountains surrounding the city. Turning around, both travelers shouted in amazement: “Heavenly God, what is this hanging in the sky over Florence? After all, it is like a large fiery log that sparkles and emits a bright light!"
The Ustyug Chronicle reports: on January 25, 1677, at seven o'clock, a terrible fire happened in Ustyug the Great, from which the entire city center disappeared into flames. And suddenly, in the midst of the fire above the church of St. Barbara, a huge object similar to the moon appeared. And he hung low over the blazing city for two whole hours. And then he quickly ascended and disappeared into the sky. It is possible that the fire of Ustyug the Great is still shown on some distant planet in a program like our "Travelers Club".
D. Swift tells how Gulliver met in the Pacific Ocean, between Japan and the Aleutian Islands, the flying island of Laputa, in the form of a regular circle with a diameter of about four and a half miles. The flying disc sparkled in the rays of the sun, because its lower part was made of diamond.
Laputa was inhabited by mathematicians and astronomers, who, in particular, told Gulliver that Mars had two small satellites, rushing at great speed near its surface. Swift wrote this in 1725, and Phobos and Deimos, two small satellites of Mars, were not discovered until 1877, and they actually rotate very quickly in anomalous proximity to the planet. Phobos, for example, makes one revolution in 7 hours 39 minutes! Maybe one of the English sailors met with a UFO and suggested to Swift information about the satellites of Mars and the idea of a flying disc?..
It is characteristic that all the chroniclers of antiquity, describing the UFO phenomena, did not find suitable comparisons. They saw "like a barrel," "like a log," "like a moon." Especially often this phrase is found in the Bible, which has preserved amazingly detailed descriptions of the mysterious celestial phenomena.
Here is what the prophet Ezekiel tells about the events that took place at the beginning of the 6th century BC: “I was among the settlers on the Chebar River, when the heavens opened and I saw the manifestations of God … A great cloud and swirling fire, and the radiance around it. From the middle of the fire was seen the likeness of four animals - and their appearance was like that of a man. And each has four wings. And human hands were under their wings … And the wings touched one another, and when the wings stopped, they covered their bodies."
Of course, there were no analogies to such a miraculous phenomenon in a person who lived 2,5 thousand years ago, during the Bronze Age. A technical analogy arose quite recently: a Kamov system helicopter, where four pairwise contacting wings rotate on the same axis. But it seems that Ezekiel is trying to describe an individual helicopter-blade system of a knapsack type, which is still unknown to our civilization, with wheels and flexible wings that descend along the body during landing.
Ezekiel specifies that on the ground next to each "animal" there was a wheel, and it seemed that "the wheel was in the wheel", and when the "animals" rose into the air, the wheels rose with them. Above their heads was "a kind of vault" (apparently, a cabin. - AP), and over the vault stretched wings. During the flight of this, in the words of Ezekiel, “the glory of the Lord,” a terrible roar was heard, “like the sound of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like a noise in a military camp; and when it stopped, the wings dropped. " But now we know well how wildly a powerful helicopter roars, how flexible wing-blades hang down from a rotary-wing machine standing on the ground, how in flight the blades turn into a shining "umbrella" or "dome".
Obviously, the most daring man from the Bronze Age would have been numb with fear if he were in a modern airport. But it seems that Ezekiel met with such a high technical civilization that it could amaze us too. After all, the feet of the “animals” sparkled like shiny copper (we do not have such shoes yet), the clothes of humanoid “animals” shone like burning coals or lamps (the creators of the “presentations” of supernova clothes in Paris have not yet thought of this); the rims of the wheels were high and terrible, because "they were full of eyes." What are these “eyes”?.. Maybe just shiny rivets or a spotted structure of a glowing electromagnetic field?..
One can only be surprised at the detail of the description of a high technical civilization, which a man of the Bronze Age gives. His attempt to more accurately and truthfully convey what he saw, his feeling of his own "technical inferiority" - very clearly conveys the expression "as if" that accompanies almost every phrase. It is this "as if" psychologically very important evidence of the author's truthfulness, proof of the trembling of the soul, shocked by the meeting with something formidable, powerful and unknown.
At the second meeting, Ezekiel already calls the newcomers not "animals", but "cherubim". But cherubs in the same way spread their sagging wings during takeoff and with a terrible roar soar into the sky along with "wheels full of eyes." They ascend to the "glory of the Lord" hanging above them, where "like a man" sits under a blue dome made "as if of sapphire". What else could he say in the VI century BC. witness even a balloon flight? How would he describe a helicopter and a UFO disk?..
The Bible, in the Book of Genesis, which reflects the most ancient traditions, tells in detail about the "angels" who visited the righteous man Lot in the city of Sodom. These mysterious aliens, although they are called angels, are very similar in their needs to ordinary people: they need bread and lodging. Moreover, the similarity of the "angels" with people is so great that they were almost raped by men from Sodom who were brutalized by the sight of strangers. The Bible says that the "angels" were saved from them only by hitting homosexuals with blindness (this could be done, for example, with a powerful laser beam).
But the patience of the "Higher powers" also has a limit: the Lord has always condemned "sodomy" and the sinful city was sentenced to death along with the entire population. When dawn rose, the "angels" began to rush Lot: "Get up, take your wife and your two daughters, so that you will not perish for the iniquity of the city" (Genesis, ch. 19, v. 15). "And those men took him by the hand and his wife and two daughters, and set him outside the city." One of the "angels" said: "Save your soul, do not look back, run to the mountain so that you do not perish … And the Lord poured sulfur and fire from heaven on Sodom and Gomorrah in rain. And now the smoke rises from the ground like smoke from a stove …"
As you can see. The Bible describes situations that in our time can already be interpreted at the level of knowledge of modern civilization. But this was absolutely ruled out a hundred years ago. The Bible describes "animals", "cherubim" and "angels" as being humanlike. This is very important information. But maybe it's the other way around - and modern man, a Cro-Magnon who mysteriously emerged on Earth, is “cherub-like”?..
It is possible that the answer to this question is contained in the same Book of Genesis, chapter 6. Here you can read the following amazing text: “Then the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful, and took them as wives, whoever chose which one. The sons of God began to enter the daughters of men, and they began to give birth to them … These are strong, glorious people from ancient times … "Thus, the text of the Old Testament indicates direct sexual contacts of highly developed" sons of God "with people.
The stated facts may well be interpreted as evidence of close contact of people of the past with highly developed beings such as "aliens", possibly, "improved" the human race. Let us recall that on the scale of the Universe, whose age is estimated at 15 billion years, our earthly civilization arose not even “yesterday”, but literally “microsecond” ago. Maybe the ancient highly developed civilizations really actively influence the life of other planets, including the development of more highly organized earthlings?
For example, hundreds of cases of the appearance of mysterious figures in fields with grain crops, already recorded in our time, are very similar to the systematic ecological testing of the main food of people contaminated with man-made waste … It seems that the Earth, with its increasing environmental problems, is "under the hood" of higher civilizations leading own monitoring of our planet. It cannot be ruled out that the human genetic code is partially borrowed from space aliens. As you can see, there are certain grounds for such an opinion.
