Yes, this is indeed one of the books I spoke of dealing with (among other things) the topic of prehistoric nuclear warfare! The information given by Noorbergen is substantial and significant, and well worthy of serious study.

 

In Chapter 5, entitled "Nuclear Warfare Among the "Primitives" ", there is a quote which I reproduce here. It deals with the discovery of vitrified stone ruins along the upper Ganges in India, as well as the ruins described by William Walker in his explorations of Death Valley. (The ruins of India are far more massive and larger in scope than those reported in Death Valley; however, as I shall say in a moment, it is possible that the American Southwest offers even larger ruins which have been overlooked simply because of their enormous size!)

 

The Noorbergen quote: "...in this region, between the Ganges and the mountains of Rajamahal, there are numerous charred ruins which have yet to be explored or excavated.  What observations have been made thus far indicate that the ruins were not burned by ordinary fire. In many instances, they appear as huge masses fused together, with deeply pitted surfaces, described as looking like tin struck by a stream of molten steel. Farther south, among the dense forests of the Deccan, are more such ruins which may be of earlier origin, pointing to a war antedating that of the Mahabharata and encompassing a far greater area. The walls have been glazed, corroded, and split by tremendous heat. Within several of the buildings that remain standing, even the surfaces of the stone furniture have been vitrified: melted and then crystallized. No natural burning flame or volcanic eruption could have produced a heat intense enough to cause this phenomenon. Only the heat released through atomic energy could have done this damage."

 

And now, if I may quote from that section of the chapter dealing with Walker's discoveries in Death Valley:

 

 

 

There is more--far more; but these quotes are sufficient to illustrate the fact that Walker's observations could have revealed the vitrified remnants of buildings dating from the time of the great wars Noorbergen speaks of--wars which may also have produced the vitrified stone forts in England and elsewhere.

 

Now as I mentioned previously, it is possible that there are ruins of even vaster size and scope in the American Southwest attesting to the reality of this prehistoric Armageddon. I have long been struck by the similarity in outline between several of the buttes and mesas (so-called) and the architecture of ancient Cambodia and India. What if (at least some of) the gigantic rock formations of the American Southwest are not natural formations at all, but are actually the fused remains of Cyclopean buildings?!? There would have been ample time in the ages intervening between that epoch and ours for erosion, which over time would have naturalized the appearance of these formations and deluded us into accepting their alleged "natural" origin. (Tales of subterranean chambers discovered in that area then assume a dramatic reinterpretation: rather than caves or even chambers excavated in the living rock, some of them may be chambers of ancient buildings! )

 

In Edgar Allan Poe's The Purloined Letter, a missing letter is unable to be discovered even though it is plain sight--simply because it has been refolded and reshaped to resemble something other than what it actually is. Is it not at least conceivable that certain features of the so-called "natural world"--as well as the history of our species--may have been hidden and obfuscated in the same way?
