aerial car made by a Yavana (Greek) condemned to death.' It intrigues us to learn that the peoples of Ancient India should attribute the knowledge of building Spaceships to be a secret of the Greeks. Surely there must have been some reason for this belief, now lost to us?
     
    Plato in the 'Critias' states that once upon a time the whole Earth was shared among the Gods or Spacemen. Poseidon took Atlantis. Hephaestus and Athene in their love of wisdom preferred Greece . Athene on the craggy rock of the Acropolis founded Athens , city of the arts and elegance.
     
    Philologists agree that the name 'Athene' is pre-Grecian, it may be Mycenaean or even pure Cara-Maya, the language of lost Lemuria. If Athene was a Space Being, her name might echo the language of another planet. It is surely significant that the name of immortal Athens springs from some ancient tongue not Greek. The oldest representations of Athene were the 'palladia', stones which were said to have come from the sky, later these stones were replaced by statues in wood which had the same celestial origin. The writer, Giuseppe Aprile, quotes Apollonius as stating, 'This ancient statue measured three cubits (1.32 metres), its feet united, it held in the right hand a lance and in the left a spindle, like an image of death and destiny.'
     
    Peter Kolosimo" cites the suggestion that this space-device represented a terrible 'Palladium-laser' capable of causing immense destruction. In 708 BC during the reign of Numa Pompilius an 'ancile' or 'bronze shield' fell from the sky and was revered by the priests of Rome .
     
    The prehistory of Europe still has surprises. Soviet archaeologists have discovered near Vladimir , north of Moscow , two tombs about twenty-seven thousand years old. The grave at a depth of three metres contained the bones of two boys. Among the remains were the remnants of garments apparently establishing that in that distant epoch men wore shirts, leather trousers, boots lined with fur and headgear 'sewn with little pieces of bone'. Cave-drawings at Lussac- le-Chateau in France show people wearing clothes. Should we be surprised?
     
    The 'London Mirror' , VoL 36, 4th July, 1840, discussing ships embedded in the Earth states that in 1462 men in a mine near Berne, Switzerland, found a ship a hundred fathoms deep in the ground with anchors of iron and sails of linen with the remains of forty men.
     
    This conception of an advanced civilisation in Europe at about 10,000 BC does not necessarily invalidate the conventional panorama painted by prehistorians of a desolate continent peopled by nomadic hunters, isolated lake-dwellers and primitive cave-men. Geologists support the Greek legends telling of vast earthquakes ravaging Libya and driving the waters from Lake Trithonis , presumed birthplace of Athene, to form the Sahara Desert . At the same time the Atlas and Spanish peninsulas collapsed, Atlantis submerged and the great Mediterranean Lake cracked open at the Pillars of Hercules . Europe too must have suffered immense devastation. With their civilisation destroyed, Neanderthal Men hunted bison with flint-tipped spears near the retreating sheets of ice, in the South-West the broad- skulled, impressively intelligent Cro-Magnons and Aurignacians enchanted their cave-walls with those magical paintings of animals and medicine-men, some of the sketches like the Tassili frescoes vaguely resemble Spaceships and Spacemen.
     
    Plato suggests that after the devastation Greece was almost uninhabited. Prehistorians teach that Neolithic Villages appeared about 5000 BC," but civilisation is generally ascribed to the Sesklo tribes who two thousand years later surged into the Peloponnese from Asia Minor . This opinion seems somewhat doubtful in view of the highly civilised site of Cata Huyuk on the high plateau of Anatolia in Central Turkey which apparently enjoyed a highly sophisticated society as long ago as 6800 BC.
