War of the Gods Quotes

“[...]
Is this all just a new conspiracy theory? The facts are on the table. The mummies exist; after all, they were x-rayed and examined with the help of computed tomography. DNA analyses of several institutes are available. Denying the existence of the alien bodies is no longer possible. But by the summer of 2018, expert investigator Thierry Jamin from Cusco no longer knew who had the mummies. There are already films appearing on the internet that discredit the whole story about these mummies and ridicule them. It's exactly as I said in the beginning of this chapter: “Smart alecks will call the whole thing fake, others a targeted fraud.” It's no use. Gaia has done their job as professionally as possible.”

“[...]
This was also confirmed by Peruvian radiologist Dr. Raymundo Salas: “We can clearly prove scientifically that these bodies are real bodies. They are not fakes.” Scientists from different institutes who had never met before and performed tests using different methods, confirmed the authenticity of the mummies. For example, the BioTecMol (Moleculares SA) of the Cuidad de Mexico performed DNA analyses. The report from June 24, 2017, signed by Dr. Rogelio Alonso, notes that the DNA is definitely different from human DNA. The DNA had also undergone a purification process at the University of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA. The report, signed by biotechnologist Dr. Doug Taylor, once again notes that the DNA is real and wasn't the same as human DNA. In addition, “Maria” is not a mummified, but a dried-up corpse—all internal organs are present. Dr. William Brown, molecular geneticist at New York University, adds: “I would say that the beings from which the samples were taken have no terrestrial origin known to us. They do not seem to agree with any species of this earth.”

Whoever covered mummies with white powder knew its effect. Diatomaceous earth kills all pests and protects the body from decay.”

“During dinner, the senior officers reported quite objectively on their experiences with UFOs at a young age. This would never happen in Europe! There I couldn't imagine a German or Swiss air force officer describing, without trepidation, his or her own UFO experiences from earlier years as an active pilot. At some point, one of the officers asked, “Herr von Däniken, have you ever researched the culture of Chincha?” “Chincha?” I inquired helplessly. “Who are they?” “The Chincha are an extinct tribe. They lived about 200 kilometers south of here. Pretty close to Paracas. The Chincha were the people with the three fingers.” Baffled, Ramon and I looked at each other. Our brain cells worked in parallel. The high military we were talking to knew nothing about my search for mummies with three fingers, and now there should be an extinct human tribe with three fingers?”

“Then the LORD rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah. . . .
This extermination had nothing to do with a volcanic eruption or the explosion of an imaginary blast furnace (“. . . like smoke from a furnace . . .”), or with a desert storm, or with apocalyptic visions or dreams of an epileptic, but it clearly had to do with a purposeful destruction from outer space. A gruesome weapon had to be used. I have referred to this in earlier books and more recently my opinion has been affirmed by the theologian Dr. Mauro Biglino, who is able to translate the original texts.57 The people who crawled under dolmens, scraped miles of corridors out of the rocks, and even built underground cities for hundreds of thousands of their fellow men and women were not afraid of other people, volcanic eruptions, heat storms, or even non-existent blast furnaces—they were hiding from glowing rock bombs from space. It's understandable that this happened independently in cultures worldwide.”

“The Maya knew Venus well. It did not—as Immanuel Velikovsky suggested—emerge from Jupiter around 680 BC. And what did the Maya know about the asteroid belt? The Mayan people accomplished something completely impossible: living during one year with two calendars simultaneously. One of the Mayan calendars had 365 days, like our calendar. The second calendar had only 260 days. They called it Tzolkin. One week in this Tzolkin lasted 13 days. The whole year included 20 such weeks: 13 × 20 = 260. They called their other calendar Haab. It contained 18 months with 20 days each. 20 × 18 = 360, plus 5 additional days. But really, why should a people live with two calendars at the same time? A 260-day calendar was of no use in practice. It was not applicable to the seasons; to sowing and harvesting. Why have this confusion?
For the Maya, the 260-day calendar was considered a “divine calendar.” All religious festivals were celebrated according to this calendar. It had been the gods who introduced the Tzolkin. Why was that? Presumably, they wanted to always remember the orbit of their original home planet. Had a celestial body ever orbited the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, this would have had to happen every 260 days? How do you arrive at that number?”

“You shall be damned in the city and cursed in the field . . . The Lord will release the curse onto you, the consternation and the threat . . ., the Lord will attach the plague to you until he exterminates you . . ., the Lord will beat you down with consumption, with hot fever, with drought, with the burning of crops and yellowing . . ., the Lord will turn the rain of your land
into dust, from heaven it will come down over you, until you areconsumed. If you do not faithfully fulfill all the words of this law. . . the Lord will torment you and your descendants with selectedplagues, with great, ongoing plagues . . . the Lord will take pleasure in annihilating you and destroying you so that you willbe torn away . . .”
(5th Book of Moses, Chapter 28, Verse 16 ff.)”

“In the Museo Regional de Ica ‘Adolfo Bermúdez Jenkins’,”
writes researcher Reinhard Habeck, “the most extraordinary specimens have survived. Some skulls are so elongated that one does not quite believe their human origin.”

“[...]
David Hatcher Childress, author of over twenty nonfiction books, points to the various theories of skull deformities.32 There is the “mainstream theory,” according to which the heads were altered
because of a “beauty ideal.” Or the Atlantis theory: the inhabitants of Atlantis are said to have originally possessed elongated heads.
People from Atlantis also supposedly visited Mexico, Peru, and Egypt, thereby influencing the local population.”

“[...]
Because skulls exist that seemed to be impossible, the question about the skeleton that carries them remains. The heads did not live “without any support base below.” Even extraterrestrial skeletons are now verifiable.”

“Originally, gods and heroes were said to have ruled over Egypt for no less than 18,000 years. The last divine king was Horos, son of Isis. But human kings ruled the land beginning with Moeris for no less than 5,000 years . . .”
Where did the ancient historians take their data from? What Herodotus, Diodorus, and others seem to know is also known to the New World beyond the ocean. The Maya conducted an incredibly precise astronomy, which in turn was only made possible through previous, millennia-old observations, or through a direct training by their heavenly teachers, as some historians note. In the so-called Temple XIX of Palenque, Mexico, a god took over his reign in the year 3309 BC, and on the third tablet of the temple of the inscriptions a date appears in connection with the “boy king Pacal” that lies 1,247,654 years in the past.”

In 1968, a “spark chamber” was set up in the Chefren Pyramid to carry out radiation experiments. Chief of the project was Dr. Luis Alvarez, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics. At that time, together with scientists from the Cairo Ain Shams University and IBM, more than 2.5 million cosmic rays were recorded. Asked about the results, Dr. Amr Gohed, the Egyptian leader of the team, told journalists that the result was “scientifically impossible.” “There is a mystery here that simply has no explanation—call it what you will: occult powers, curse of the pharaohs, witchcraft, or sorcery. There is some force within the pyramids that defies the laws of applied science.”
