Creating an entire universe, with its inhabitants, its rules, its technology, is exciting but a lot of work. And as I create a universe for a story, I usually fall in love with it, which makes it difficult to let go of it to write something completely different. So, I tend to write series.

“Any sufficiently advanced
technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clarke
Last month, we covered the mythology
of Asia as a source of inspiration, and Indian mythology that could be
interpreted as advanced technology. But this is not unique to that part of the
world.
In the Norse legends, Odin possessed two magical raven who flew over the world and showed him everything that happened in real time. These black birds often represented inside a clear globe would now be called “camera drones.” There is mention of a rainbow bridge, which, according to Albert Einstein, could have been a wormhole (or Rosen bridge). Also, Thor, God of Thunder, did have the power to harness lightning and thunder and used them as a weapon.
Similarly, in Greece, Zeus wielded weapons of lightning and thunder capable of great destruction… not unlike our war missiles.The god Apollo flew north each year in a golden chariot… in other words a shiny metal craft.
The Anunnaki (meaning: they who from the heavens came) claimed to have come to Earth to harvest gold, a commodity they needed to save their own planet. In the process, they genetically improved, educated, and enslaved humans to provide a labor force to work and mine the gold for them. In doing so, they may have started the Sumerian civilization.The Egyptian pharaohs claimed to be descended from the gods who came from Orion in barges. They were embalmed to make the trip back. The pyramids are aligned on Orion’s belt.
The Old Testament says Ezekiel saw a
chariot coming down to Earth with wheels turning inside wheels… not unlike the
modern representations of UFOs.Ezekiel - St. Augustine Church - Paris France
Jacob witnessed angels climbing a
ladder into a luminous craft.
And the Book of Enoch, one of the oldest manuscripts banned from the bible, describes in simple words his trip into space with angels, aboard a spacecraft, where he saw the Earth from space, then went to another planet and studied in their company. The elaborate details of his trip make a lot of sense to a modern mind familiar with space travel, but couldn’t have been fabricated by someone who didn’t understand advanced technology. Yet, this witness account was penned millennia ago.This happened all over the world. In the Americas, many Native American tribes relate that sky people came as teachers (Kachinas) to educate their ancestors. The Thunderbird can also be interpreted as a vehicle transporting sky people.
The Incas, the Mayas, the Aztec, all
had similar stories, about beings coming down in crafts from the Pleiades,
sometimes demanding blood sacrifices, and strongly influencing their culture.
Several African tribes also spoke
for centuries about being visited by space travelers from the Sirius II system.
No one knew Sirius II existed until quite recently, as it is hidden by Sirius
I.
So, you see, one doesn’t have to go
far to find inspiration about science fiction stories. Space travel and alien
visitation are old recurring themes even on our little planet.
This month, Congress reviewed undeniable footage of UAP (Unexplained Aerial Phenomena) taken by the US military, to discuss the implications for National Security.
Soon we will explore space on our
own, search for new planets and encounter new civilizations, some more
advanced, and others in infancy, and we, too, will become the powerful beings
who encourage the pursuit of knowledge and accidentally start new myths and new
religions… like in the Star Trek movie, where Captain Kirk inadvertently starts
a new cult when the natives witness the Enterprise rising from the depths of
the ocean and taking flight.
In the meantime, you can dream and imagine other worlds by reading science fiction, my favorite genre.
Happy Reading!amazon - B&N - Smashwords - Kobo

All science fiction authors struggle to make their stories believable, because most of us only believe what we can explain and understand. Anything else is considered fantasy. And while we witness unexplained feats of magic and fantasy each day, like UAP (Unexplained Aerial Phenomena), ghosts, premonitory dreams, out of body or transcendental experiences, fiction writers are held to more stringent rules. Unlike reality, our stories have to make sense in the physical world.
Readers often tell me I have a
fertile imagination, but to imagine the future, you only have to study the
so-called mythology of many Earth cultures.
Lord Shiva claimed to be from another planet and traveled through the air on a vessel surrounded by flames |
Ancient civilizations worshipped gods who came come from the sky (heavens) in chariots of fire that rumbled like thunder. They were said to possess magical powers, like the power of flight, infinite knowledge, and incredible powers of destruction… powers we now understand as advanced technology.
They lived in magical cities in the
sky, cities we would now call motherships, and they flew down in smaller crafts
they called Vimanas. They also waged violent wars in the sky, with terrible
repercussions for our planet.
Shiva (the destroyer of worlds) wielded weapons that could destroy entire planets and fiery arrows that never missed the target.
The Shiva Lingam found in a multitude of temples, and long discarded
as a fertility symbol, was recently recognized as an accurate representation of
a nuclear cooling tower. Lingering radioactivity in ancient ruins and bones,
along with vitrification of the stone (that only happens with the kind of heat
produced by a nuclear explosion), and ancient manuscripts describing epic
battles of the gods with such weapons in the same area, support the fact that a
nuclear event must have happened around that time… several millennia ago.
In the subcontinent of India, these powerful
beings, who visited Earth and lived among men in the faraway past, were not
human. They had blue skin, several pairs of arms, sometimes a third eye, monkey
heads, elephant head, or snake bodies, and claimed to have come from other planets. To the
people of India, they were not mythical or gods, but flesh and blood beings
from another place. The epic adventures depicted in the Vedas, the Bhagavad
Gita, and the Mahabharata are not considered mythology but true ancient history
and taught in schools as such.
But this phenomenon of alien visitors perceived as gods is not particular to India.
In the Buddhist world, the stone
stupa inside which the statue of buddha resides represents some kind of
transport craft to take him to the “cities in the sky.” Spaceships?
In China, the first emperor
descended from the sky on a flaming dragon and claimed to come from space. To
this day, the dragon is the symbol of China.
