Wonder technologies of lost Atlantis discovered

Deep in the misty mountains that surround the legendary cities of Tibet, remnants of the lost super-civilization of Atlantis have been found.

An artist’s interpretation of Atlantis

That’s the amazing claim of those that discovered the immense cavern and described the wonders they found: carefully hidden super-science machines that far surpass 21st Century technology.

The mysterious cavern, deep inside a mountain, has been known for centuries by monks living in a secluded abbey perched precariously on the edge of a Himalayan cliff.

Mysterious cave of ancient machines

Miracle machines

Long thought to be a spiritual place of the ancients, the huge chamber actually is a depository of miracle machines built by an advanced civilization tens of thousands of years ago. Some of the men who have visited the chamber believe the machines were hidden there up to 30,000 years in the past.

One of the explorers, Dondup, shared the amazement he felt when he first saw the strange machines inside the giant cavern. He describes the cavern as being like a huge hall that went on into the distance as if the entire mountain itself was hollow:

“About fifteen feet in I turned a very sharp corner, another, and then another. Had I not been paralysed with fright I would have screamed with surprise; here was light, a soft silvery light, brighter than the brightest moonlight. Light that I had never seen before.

“The cave in which I now found myself was spacious, with a roof invisible in the darkness above. One of my companions pushed me out of the way and was in turn pushed by another. Soon the four of us stood silent and frightened–gazing at the fantastic sight before us. A sight, which would have made any one of us alone, think that he had taken leave of his senses.

“The cave was more like an immense hall, it stretched away in the distance as if the mountain itself was hollow. The light was everywhere, beating down upon us from a number of globes which appeared to be suspended from the darkness of the roof. Strange machines crammed the place, machines such as we could not have imagined. Even from the high roof depended apparatus and mechanisms. Some, I saw with great amazement, were covered by what appeared to be the clearest of glass.”

Who built these strange devices? What functions did they serve? Were they the remains of an exploratory outpost…A laboratory?…An inhuman alien intelligence?

Dondup continues with his narrative:

“Together we wandered round looking at the strange machines. To us they had no meaning, they were just collections of metal and fabric in strange, exotic form. [We] moved toward a rather large black panel apparently built into one of the walls of the cave.

“It swung open. By now we were almost at the point of believing that the whole place was bewitched, or that we had fallen prey to some hallucinating force.”

Force fields and incredible lights

“The black panel swung shut. One of my companions stretched out his hand and the panel swung open again.

“Some force which we could not resist propelled us forward. Uselessly fighting against every step, we were made to enter through the panel doorway. Inside it was dark, as dark as the darkness of a hermit’s cell.

“Still under the irresistible compulsion, we moved in many feet and then sat on the floor. For minutes we sat shivering with fright. As nothing happened we regained some calmness, and then we heard a series of clicks, as if metal were tapping and scraping on metal.

“Slowly, almost imperceptibly, a misty glow formed in the darkness before us. At first it was just a suspicion of blue-pink light, almost as if a ghost were materialising before our gaze. The mistlight spread, becoming brighter so that we could see the outlines of incredible machines filling this large hall, all except the center of the floor upon which we sat.

“The light drew in upon itself, swirling, fading, and becoming brighter and then it formed and remained in spherical shape.

“I had the strange and unexplainable impression of age-old machinery creaking slowly into motion after eons of time. The five of us huddled together on the floor, literally spellbound. There came a probing inside my brain, as if demented telepathics were playing, then the impression changed and became as clear as speech.”

A record of ancient days

“Within the sphere of light we saw pictures. Hazy at first, they soon cleared and ceased to be pictures. Instead we actually saw the events.”

The events told the story of an ancient supercivilization. The civilization alluded to in the legends of Atlantas and the ancient sanskrit writings of India. Amazing flying machines, the conquering of the atom, a nuclear war–all were projected to the explorers of the cave…

“This is what we saw and heard: Thousands and thousands of years ago there was a high civilization upon this world. Men could fly through the air in wondrous machines that defied gravity; men were able to make machines which would impress thoughts upon the minds of others–thoughts which would appear as pictures.

“Like us they had nuclear energy, and at last they detonated weapons which all but wrecked the world, causing continents to sink below the oceans and others to rise. The world was decimated, and so, throughout the religions of the world, we now have the ancient story of the Great Flood.

“There is a similar chamber in the country of Egypt, and another with identical machines located in South America. I have seen them; I know where they are. These secret chambers were concealed by the peoples of old so that their artifacts would be found by a later generation when the time was ready. This sudden rock fall accidentally bared the entrance to the chamber in Tibet, and once inside we gained the knowledge of the other chambers.”

Another perspective

Another of the explorers, Rampa, recounts his personal exploration of the chamber. He admits fear and astonishment at what he saw.

“I looked in considerable astonishment. Suddenly the light burst upon me, for the moment almost paralyzing me with fright. I stood motionless by the rocky wall, gazing at the fantastic scene within. The cave appeared to be about twice as large as I had ever imagined.

“Here was brightness more intense than that of the full moon on a cloudless night. No, it was much brighter than that; the quality of the light must have given me the impression of moonlight. I gazed upwards at the globes which provided the illumination. The others crowded in beside me, and, like me, they gazed at the source of light first.”

“Dondup explained, ‘The old records indicate that the illumination here was originally much brighter. These lamps are burning low with the passage of many hundreds of centuries.’

“For long moments we stood still, silent, as though afraid of waking those who slept throughout the endless years. Then, moved by a common impulse, walked across the solid stone floor to the first machine standing dormant before us. We crowded around it, half afraid to touch it yet very curious as to what it could be. It was dulled with age, yet it appeared ready for instant use–if one knew what it was for and how to operate it. Other devices engaged our attention, also without result.

“These machines were far far too advanced for us.”

An ancient land of power and wonder

An unexpected trip
 
“I wandered off to where a small square platform of about three feet wide, with guard rails, rested on the ground. What appeared to be a long, folded metal tube extended from a nearby machine, and the platform was attached to the other end of the tube. Idly I stepped on to the railed square, wondering what it could be. The next instant I almost died of shock; the platform gave a little tremor and rose high into the air. I was so frightened that I clung in desperation to the rails.

“Below my companions gazed upwards in consternation. The tube had unfolded and was swinging the platform straight to one of the spheres of light. In desperation I looked over the side. Already I was some thirty feet in the air, and rising. My fear was that the source of light would burn me to a crisp.

“There was a click and the platform stopped. Inches from my face the light glowed. Timidly I stretched out my hand–and the whole sphere was as cold as ice. By now I had regained my composure somewhat, and I gazed about me. Then a chilling thought struck me; how was I going to get down? I jumped from side to side, trying to work out a way of escape, but there appeared to be none. I tried to reach the long tube, hoping to climb down, but it was too far away. Just when I was becoming desperate, there was another tremor, and the platform started to descend. Hardly waiting for it to touch ground I leaped out! I was taking no risks that the thing would go up again.

“Against a far wall crouched a great statue, one that sent a shiver up my spine. It was of a crouching cat body, but with the head and shoulders of a woman. The eyes appeared to be alive; the face had a half-mocking, half-quizzical expression which rather frightened me.

 ”One of my party was on his knees on the floor, gazing intently at some strange marks.”

A race of men who thought like gods

Moving machines

“The others were poking around the strange machines, trying to decide what they were for. A sudden shout made us wheel round in some alarm. One of my companions stood by the far wall. He seemed to have his face stuck in a dull metal box. He stood there with his head bent and the whole of his face concealed. Two men rushed to him and dragged him away from the danger. He uttered a roar of wrath and dashed back!

“‘Strange!’ I thought, ‘We’re going crazy in this place!’

“Then he moved aside and another took his place. So far as I could gather, they were seeing moving machines inside that box.

“At last my turn arrived and I peered into the mysterious box. I saw men moving about the very machines which were in the cavern we occupied. The images of the men operated the machines. I saw that the platform upon which I had ascended to the light-sphere could be controlled and was a type of moveable ladder or rather a device, which would dispense with ladders.”

But greater wonders were to come. More amazing machines and a history of the lost world that revealed much of what happened to a world-spanning civilization in ways more advanced than the one we live in today:

“We moved to the panel and at our approach it opened with a grating creak, so loud in the silence of the place that I think we all jumped with alarm. Inside was the darkness, profound, almost as if we had clouds of blackness swirling about us.

“Our feet were guided by shallow channels in the floor. We shuffled along, and when the channels ended we sat. As we did so, there came a series of clicks, like metal scraping against metal, and almost imperceptibly light stole across the darkness and pushed it aside. We looked about us and saw more machines, strange machines. There were statues here and pictures carved in metal.”

Marvels crossed both earth and sky

A window to the past

“The light drew in upon itself and formed a glowing globe in the center of the great chamber. Colors flickered aimlessly, and bands of light without apparent meaning swirled round the globe. Pictures formed, at first blurred and indistinct, then growing vivid and real and with three-dimensional effect. We watched it all intently…

“This was the world of long ago. When the world was very young. Mountains stood where now there are seas, and the seaside now mountain tops.

“The weather was warmer and strange creatures roamed. This was a world of scientific progress.

“Strange machines rolled along, flew inches from the surface of the Earth, or flew miles up in the air.

“Great buildings reared their pinnacles skywards, as if in challenge to the clouds. Animals and Man talked telepathically together. But all was not bliss; politicians fought against politicians. The world was a divided camp in which each side coveted the lands of the other. Suspicion and fear were the clouds under which the ordinary man lived.

“Priests of both sides proclaimed that they alone were the favored of the gods. In the pictures before us we saw ranting priests–as now–purveying their own brand of salvation. At a price! Priests of each sect taught that it was a “holy duty” to kill the enemy. Almost in the same breath they preached that Mankind throughout the world were brothers. The illogicality of brother killing brother did not occur to them.

“We saw great wars fought, with most of the casualties being civilians. The armed forces were mostly safe behind their armor. The aged, the women and children, those who did not fight, were the ones to suffer.

“We saw glimpses of scientists working in laboratories, working to produce even deadlier weapons, working to produce bigger and better bombs to drop on the enemy. One sequence of pictures showed a group of thoughtful men planning what they termed a Time Capsule, wherein they could store for later generations working models of their machines and a complete, pictorial record of their culture–or lack of it.

“Immense machines excavated the living rock. Hordes of men installed the models and the machines. We saw the cold light spheres hoisted in place, inert radio-active substances giving off light for millions of years. Inert in that it could not harm humans, active in that the light would continue almost until the end of time itself.

“We found that we could understand the language, then the explanation was shown, that we were obtaining the “speech” telepathically.

“Chambers such as this, or Time Capsules, were concealed beneath the sands of Egypt, beneath a great pyramid in South America, and at a certain spot in the Siberian wilderness.”

Marked by the Sphinx

“Each place was marked by the symbol of the times: the mysterious Sphinx.

“We saw the great statues of the Sphinx, which did not originate in Egypt, and we received an explanation of its form.

“Man and animals talked and worked together in those far-off days. The cat was the most perfect animal for power and intelligence. Man himself is an animal, so the ancients made a figure of a large cat body to indicate power and endurance, and upon the body they put the breasts and head of a woman. The head was to indicate human intelligence and reason, while the breasts indicated that Man and animal could draw spiritual and mental nourishment each from the other.

“That symbol was then as common as is statues of Buddha, or the Star of David, or the Crucifix at the present day.”

The war of wars

“We saw oceans with great floating cities, which moved from land to land. In the sky floated equally large craft which moved without sound. They could hover and almost instantly flash into stupendous speed. On the surface vehicles moved some inches above the ground supported in the air by some method which we could not determine.

“Bridges spanned across the cities carrying on slender cables what appeared to be roadways. As we watched we saw a vivid flash in the sky, and one of the largest bridges collapsed into a tangle of girders and cables. Another flash, and most of the city itself vanished into incandescent gas. Above the ruins towered a strangely evil-looking red cloud, roughly in the shape of a mushroom–towering miles high.

“The pictures faded and we saw again the group of men who had planned the “Time Capsules.” They decided now was the time to seal them.

“We saw the ceremonies; we saw the stored memories being fitted into the machine. We heard the speech of farewell to ‘The people of the future, if there be any!’

They stated Mankind was about to destroy itself, ‘…and within these vaults are stored such records of our achievements and follies as may benefit those of a future race who have the intelligence to discover it, and having discovered it, be able to understand it.’

“The telepathic voice faded out, the picture screen turned black. We sat in silence, stupefied by what we had seen. Later, as we sat, the light grew again and we saw that it was actually coming from the walls of that room.”

Rampa and the others were frightened and stunned by what the glowing globes showed them. A world of the distant past that really looked like a world of the far off future.

But that was not the end of their bizarre education about the wonders of Atlantis and the destruction of most of Mankind.

“We rose and looked about us. This chamber was also littered with machines and there were many models of cities and bridges, all formed of some kind of stone or of some type of metal–the nature of which we were unable to determine. Certain of the exhibits were protected by some quite transparent material which baffled us. It was not glass. We just did not know what the stuff was, all we knew was that it effectively prevented us from touching some of the models.

“The third room contained many carefully sealed canisters and a picture-thought machine, which described for us how we might open the canisters and seal the Cave entrance. We sat upon the floor and discussed that which we had seen and experienced.”

The great cataclysm

Then the answers of what happened to the great, ancient civilization streamed out from the picture-thought machine bombarding their brains with sounds and images of how the world was lost:

“Across the land surged the raging seas. Sweeping all before it, a giant wave, taller than the tallest building had been, roared across the land, its crest bearing aloft the flotsam of a dying civilization.

“The Earth shook and thundered in agony, great chasms appeared and closed again like the gaping maws of a giant. The mountains waved like willow twigs in a storm, waved, and sank beneath the seas. Land masses rose from the waters and became mountains. The whole surface of the world was in a state of change, of continuous motion.

“A few scattered survivors, out of millions, fled shrieking to the newly risen mountains. Others, afloat in ships that somehow survived the upheaval, reached the high ground and fled into any hiding place they could find.

“The Earth itself stood still, stopped its direction of rotation, and then turned in the opposite direction. Forests flashed from trees to scattered ash in the twinkling of an eye. The surface of the Earth was desolate, ruined, charred to a black crisp.

“Deep in holes, or in the lava tunnels of extinct volcanoes, a scattered handful of Earth’s population, driven insane by the catastrophe, cowered and gibbered in their terror. From the black skies fell a whitish substance, sweet to the taste, sustaining of life.

“In the course of centuries the Earth changed again; the seas were now land, and the lands that had been were now seas. A low-lying plain had its rocky walls cracked and sundered, and the waters rushed in to form the sea now known as the Mediterranean. Another sea nearby sank through a gap in the sea bed, and as the waters left and the bed dried, the Sahara Desert was formed.

“Over the face of the Earth wandered wild tribes who, by the light of their flickering camp fires, told of the old legends, told of the Great Flood and of lost Atlantis. They told, too, of the day the sun stood still in the sky.

“The ancient chamber lay buried in the silt of a half-drowned world. Safe from intruders, it rested far beneath the surface of the land. In the course of time, fast-running streams eventiually washed away the silt, the debris, and allowed the rocks to stand forth in the sunlight once more.

“At last, heated by the sun and cooled by a sudden icy shower, the rock face would split with thunderous noise and thousands of years later we entered.”
