Peru desert Ocucaje, Dr. Javier Cabrera

Caesarian section surgery. They also showed dinosaurs and men riding them. These men were
shorter and had larger heads than modern man. These are called the Ica Stones of Peru.
Human footprints found in
same layer as dinosaur prints
in Glen Rose, Texas. More on
Glen Rose. These were called "giant man tracks"
and would seem to coincide with the bible's
mention of the fallen angles being large size and roaming the earth in the times
of Noah. See Paluxy, Glen Rose, TX.

Moses led the Israelites to Canaan. See 1400BC.

Indian texts from this period tell of anti-gravity space ships (called Vimanas, or Astras), and a war with the Atlanteans on the moon. Curiously, Soviet scientists have discovered what they call "age-old instruments used in navigating cosmic vehicles" in caves in Turkestan and the Gobi Desert. The "devices" are hemispherical objects of glass or porcelain, ending in a cone with a drop of mercury inside. Some ancient Indian texts describe a war with Atlantis (who flew Vailixi machines) using flying machines and atomic bombs about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. When the Rishi City of Mohenjodaro, Pakistan was excavated by archeologists in the last century, they found skeletons just lying in the streets, some of them holding hands, as if some great doom had suddenly overtaken them. These skeletons are among the most radioactive ever found, on a par with those found at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ancient cities whose brick and stone walls have literally been vitrified, that is-- fused together like glass, can be found in India, Ireland, Scotland, France, Turkey and other places. There is no logical explanation for the vitrification of stone forts and cities, except from an atomic blast. The Lop Nor Desert in western China is known to be the center of a great UFO mystery. From "Worlds Strange Phenomena" by Charles Berlitz. Scientists drilling down in an excavation near Babylon, in Iraq, found various strata containing evidence of different civilizations. They eventually stopped when they hit a solid wall of glass, like the sand had been fused together by a nuclear blast. (Date estimate not given.)

Moses sent some scouts to look at the land near Hebron. Here is a passage from Numbers Ch. 13, mentioning giants, which could be Annunaki:
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."
32 And they (the scouts) spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, "The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.
33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak, called Anakim [and Annunaki], come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
The Annunaki were the descendants of the fallen angels and earth women.
1,360 -- Akhenaton's monotheistic sun worship in Egypt, aka The Egyptian Pharaoh Echnaton (Akhenaten or Amenhotep IV or Amenophis IV). When Amenhotep IV took over the throne, he began a period of religious and cultural revolution in Egypt. He shunned the old god Amon and his priests, and began the cult of the sun disk, the Aton. He declared that Aton was the one god except for Re, the sun god. He also said that he was the only one who could speak with Aton, so there was no need for priests. He even changed his name to Akhenaton, which means “servant of the Aton.” He banned the worship of Amon and closed down that god’s sacred temples. In the sixth year of his rule Akhenaton, along with his wife, the beautiful Nefertiti, moved out of the capital city of Thebes to a new capital in Middle Egypt named Akhetaton - “The Horizon of Aton” which is modern Amarna. Akhenaton tended to leave the governing of the country to others as he pursued his religious interests. When he died, his religious amendments died with him, and Egypt returned to its traditional gods and priests.

They prayed to the rain god Cha'ac for rain. They were very good at astronomy. The largest pyramid there was built for the warrior god Ku'kul'can. He was portrayed often as a snake. On the spring equinox each year, the sun casts a shadow on the blocks lining the steps of the pyramid. At the bottom of the steps is a snake head. The shadows are such that, as the sun moves, it looks like a snake is slithering down the steps. This signifies when Ku'Kul'can came down from the heavens to rule the Mayan people. Interestingly enough, their creation myth is signified by a carving of an eagle (the constellation Aquila means 'eagle'), in whose mouth is a snake (Ku'kul'can), in whose mouth is a Mayan.
