  This person seems to think that we went to the Moon a long time ago.

Were we on the Moon in 2309 B.C.? ...and what about Mars?

In 1926, Professor A. W. Bickerton declared the concept of
shooting at the moon to be foolish and impossible. In 1935,
the noted astronomer F. R. Moulton wrote that man could never
travel in outer space. In 1957, Dr. Richard van der Riet
Wooley (former Astronomer Royal) called the idea of space
travel "utter bilge". Eight months later Sputnik I was orbiting the
earth.

In a remote northern area of Tibet lie the ruins of the Hsing Nu
capital, discovered by Duparc in 1725.
Within the city, Duparc came upon a mass of monoliths (once
coated with silver), a pyramid, part of a tower of blue porcelain,
and a royal palace, containing thrones with sun and moon images.
There was also a large milky w-ite stone surrounded by exquisite
drawings.
Now for the stunning sequel. In 1952, a Soviet expedition arrived.
The group was shown by Tibetan monks some ancient documents,
whose descriptions agreed with those of Duparc.
But here is the breathtaking part: the milky white stone, so said the
documents, was "brought from the moon."
Moon rock? Is it possible? Could man actually have left this earth and
gone to the moon in ages past? Was space travel a natural adjunct to
this civilization? Are there clues?

Indeed there are. Indications of the reality of ancient space travel do
come from widely separated parts of the world.
Written and oral tradition is widespread�and, it seems, reliable.
Chinese historians in particular never tried to please their rulers
at the expense of truth. D-ath was preferred to untruthful reports
of history. As an example we have the fate of historians in the
reign of Chi in 547 B.C. We should therefore take seriously the
historical reports of China, even if they seem at first to be far-fetched.
There is a tendency in scientific circles nowadays to regard ancient
documents and even mythology and folklore - as sources of history.
Anthony Roberts expresses it this way: "Legends are like time-capsules
that preserve their contents through ages of ignorance."1
In regard to some of the chronicles cited hereafter, internal evidence
will carry its own proofs of authenticity.

My first source is an old manuscript described by James Churchward,
the English scholar who wrote decades before people spoke of artificial
satellites and spaceships.2

1 - INDIA: Vehicles that could revolve around the earth (i.e., satellites):
"Their fuel is drawn from the air in a very simple and cheap way. The
motor is something like a modern turbine: it works from one chamber
to another and does not stop or stall unless switched off. If nothing
happens it continues to function. The ship in which it is built could
revolve as long as it liked around Earth, only falling when the parts of
which it is made were burnt up.

2- INDIA: Philosophers and scientists who orbited the earth "below the
moon and above the clouds" are spoken of in the ancient Surya
Siddhanta.3
Giant satellites made of shiny metal and turning about an axis are
described in detail in ancient Sanskrit texts, right down to their
dimensions and interiors, as well as smaller craft that fly between
them and the earth.

3 - CHALDEA: Two "modern" rockets emitting rays at the rear, a box
like a loudspeaker and a "copy" of a Gemini capsule�are engraved
on a copper chisel unearthed at Ur.

4 - SUMERIA: Pictographic texts describe three related objects on
display in Sippar: the golden sphere (command module?), the "GIR"
(a long arrow-shaped object, divided into several compartments)
and the "alikmahrati," meaning "advancer that makes vessel go" (i.e.,
a motor, or an engine). Together they look very much like a three-part
rocket ship.

Another explicit sign is the combination of two words "DIN" and �GIR."
When joined together to form the word "g-ds," the tail of the finlike
"gir" fits perfectly into the opening of the rocketlike "din," which
exhausts fire from its tail.

5 - PERU: A clay vessel 8-1/2 inches high portrays a kind of "space
capsule" on which motor and exhaust are clearly recognizable.

6 - ITALY: A painting discovered in the niche of a room under Rome�s
Palatine Hill, in 1961, portrays what appears to be a rocket. It stands
on a launching pad. From it run guys or cables; behind is a tall wall,
resembling a counterblast wall.

7 - JAPAN: Excavations have uncovered clay figurines of people clad in
peculiar "space suits", with helmets entirely covering their heads. On
the helmets are representations of something like slit-type glasses,
breath filters, antennae, hearing aids and even night-sight devices.

8 - INDIA: The Mahabharata describes "two storey sky chariots with
many windows, ejecting red flame, that race up, into the sky until
they look like comets . . . to the regions of both the sun and the
stars."4

9 - GUATEMALA: Another ancient description mentions "a circular
chariot of gold, measuring 12,000 cubits in circumference and able
to reach the stars"5

10 - INDIA: Other references speak of: Pushan sailing in golden ships
across the ocean of the sky Garuda (a celestial bird) carrying L-rd
Vishnu in cosmic journeys Aerial flights "through the region of the sky
firmament which is above the region of the winds"6

11 - The Ancients of Space Dimensions.7
- NEW ZEALAND: Maori legends tell of flying machines and journeys to
the moon

12 - CHINA, 3rd century B.C.: Chuang Tzu, in a work entitled Travel to
the Infinite, relates a trip he made into space to 32,500 miles from the
earth.

13 - TIBET and MONGOLIA: Ancient Buddhist books speak of "iron
serpents which devour space with fire and smoke, reaching as far as
the distant stars."

14 - TIBET: The three levels of a pyramid in the Hsing Nu capital
commemorated three historical periods in the remote past: the
pre-space travel era, the time when men were able to visit one of the
heavenly bodies, and then afterward when they came back to earth
and lost the power of space travel. It was here that there reposed
on the altar a "stone brought from the moon".

15 - BABYLON: The Epic of Etana (4,700 years old) supplies us with
very accurate descriptions of the earth�s surface from progressive
altitudes�descriptions which were not verified in our own era until
the high-altitude aerial flights of the 1950s and the first space shots
of the 1960s.

The description of this ancient space flight depicts exactly what happens
when man leaves the earth (the concept of the round earth which
becomes small, due to perspective as distance increases, and changes
into particular colors).8

16 - BOOK OF ENOCH: The ancient Book of Enoch says that in space
"it was hot as fire and cold as ice" (where objects get hot on the side
illuminated by the sun and icy cold on the shaded side) and "a dark
abyss."9

17 - YUNNAN PROVINCE CHINA Engravings of cylindrical rocketlike
machines, which are shown climbing skyward, were discovered on a
pyramid which suddenly emerged from the floor of Lake Kun-Ming during
an earthquake.

18 - GREECE: Lucian pictured the moon as a body like the earth which
could be reached in 8 days and wrote a "fiction" (?) of a moon trip.

19 - CHINA: "Desolate, cold and glassy": In the year 2309 B.C. the engineer
of Emperor Yao decided to go to the moon. The "celestial bird" provided
him with information on his trip. He explored space by "mounting the
current of luminous air" (the exhaust of a fiery rocket?).
Hou Yih flew into space where "he did not perceive the rotary movement
of the sun."10 (This statement is of paramount importance in corroborating
the story because it is only in space that man cannot see the sun rise or
set.)
On the moon he saw the �frozen-looking horizon" and erected a building,
"the Palace of Cold".
