"Civilisations have been born and completed and then forgotten again and again. There is nothing new under the Sun. What is, has been. All that we learn and discover has existed before; our inventions and discoveries are but reinventions, 11 re-discoveries."
The ancients across the world described a high-tech "Golden Age" of human society, although some of it, especially towards the end, was anything, but "golden". These stories say that this age was ended by high-tech war and a series of geological catastrophes that caused colossal Earth changes through earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, magnetic pole shifts, and tidal waves on a scale we could not begin to imagine today. The Biblical Great Flood is a symbolic story of one such event, but there appear from the biological and geological record to have been several from about 12,000BC up to around 5000BC, perhaps even later. As you can see in The Biggest Secret, and the excellent book, The Day The Earth Nearly Died, by D.S. Allen and J.B. Delair (Gateway Books, Bath, 1995), the geological and biological evidence is supported by the ancient accounts with the most incredible synchronicity. Everywhere the ancients recorded the effects of these events. Professor James DeMeo writes in his book, Saharasia (Hidden Mysteries, Texas, 2000) of vast changes in the Middle East in this same "window" of time: "A massive climate change shook the ancient world, when approximately 6,000 years ago vast areas of lush grassland and forest in the Old World began to quickly dry out and convert into harsh desert. The vast Sahara Desert, Arabian Desert, and the giant deserts of the Middle East and Central Asia simply did not exist prior to 12 (about) 4,000BC..".
The upheavals of the ancient world destroyed the advanced global society or "Golden Age" that existed before and this is recorded in the stories of Atlantis and Lemuria, or "Mu". Humanity had to start all over again. If you believe that is farfetched, think about today's society. It may be advanced on one level with power grids and computer systems, and all the rest. Such technology can perform apparently miraculous feats, like typing a letter on to this computer and having it read by someone on the other side of the world seconds later. But what would happen to this technological society if we were faced now with a global catastrophe that devastated the planet? Within seconds, we would be sitting in the technological Stone Age. It would be a primitive, everyone-for-themselves, find-your-own-food, shelter and warmth, free-for-all. And as time and generations passed, the memory of the technological world we have today would fade, ever more rapidly, and only be preserved in stories and myths which would, more and more, be seen as wild tales and figments of the imagination. Most people would deny such a world ever existed because it would be so at odds with their daily experience. We would have the same we-can't-do-it-so-it-can't-be-done mentality that laughed at the very idea we could fly to the Moon. The history in that post-cataclysmic society would only begin with the records left by humanity once they had re-advanced to a certain
