Curiosities Editorial for our Magazine SAGENHAFTE ZEITEN For   45   years,   I   have   maintained   a   squeaky-clean   archive.   Therein   is   a   section   with   the keyword   “Curiosities.”   For   my   new   book,   Impossible   Truths   [1],   recently   released   by   Kopp Verlag, I fished a few examples from this collection of impossibilities. The   great   sand   sea   of   the   Saad   Plateau   is   located   in   south-western   Egypt.   Since   1932, curious   pieces   of   money-green   glass   have   been   repeatedly   discovered.   Men   call   these anomalies   Libyan   Desert   glass.   In   July   1999,   the   British   magazine   New   Scientist   wrote that   over   1000   tons   of   the   strange   material   have   surfaced   to   date,   the   largest   single   piece weighing    26    kilos.    Initially,    they    suspected    the    glass    must    have    been    created    by    a meteorite   impact.   But   no   trace   of   a   crater   could   be   found   in   the   vicinity.   Similarly,   even   if the   hot   gases   of   a   celestial   body   crossed   the   area   without   impact,   there   should   still   be some   traces,   furthering   the   riddle.   For   this   to   have   occurred,   locations   of   desert   glass would   be   more   or   less   on   a   straight   line.   But   they   aren’t.   The   glass   is   comprised   of   97% Silicon,   and   looks   like   a   green-blue   gem.   In   an   analysis   published   in   the   scientific   journal Nature,   the   geologist   Dr.   Spencer   said:   “It’s   easier   to   assume   that   the   stuff   fell   from   the sky.” [2]. A   mystery   of   a   different   kind   is   located in   Patagonia/Argentina.   There,   located in    the    Deseado    Department,    south    of the   village   of   Fitz   Roy,   lies   a   strange National    Park    called    the    Monumento Natural   Bosques   Petrificados   de   Santa Cruz.   At    a    typical    National    Park,    you expect      really      splendid      landscapes, snow-capped    mountains,    blue    lakes, and   bizarre   rock   formations.   But   you   will find    nothing    like    that    at    the    Bosques Petrificados.   This    is    a    petrified    forest. Not   a   forest   as   we   imagine   it,   for   though the   area   is   filled   with   tree   trunks   -   all   of them   are   petrified.   Experts   estimate   this petrified   forest   to   be   about   70   million   years   old. There   is   a   perfectly   natural   explanation   for these   fossils.   Tens   of   thousands   of   years   ago,   the   cellulose   of   the   wood   turned   to   stone because   the   trees   were   pelted   by   volcanic   ash   and   stopped   receiving   air.   The   length   of isolated   trunks   can   be   up   to   50   meters,   with   roots   still   in   the   ground.   Some   fragments, however,   remain   mysterious.   They   lie   around   the   forest   in   eight   or   12   equal   cut   blocks. The    cracks    through    the    stems    appear    in    a    manner    that    looks    like    they    have    been separated   with   a   saw.   Usually,   the   stems   can   be   seen   splitting   into   the   wind,   while fragments   of   differing   density   are   distributed   throughout   the   trunks.   Regarding   adhesions, grain   patterns,   and   knots   in   the   growing   branches   -   none   of   these   features   interface   with the   petrified   trees.   .   Also,   the   individual   pieces   are   often   the   same   length.   Who   was capable of such sawing millions of years ago? In   the   early   1970s,   the   Russian   geologist   Dr.   Nikolai   Gontscharow   from   the   Moscow University   of Arts   and   Industry   worked   on   a   cultural   atlas   of   the   world. As   he   stood   in   front of   the   finished   work,   he   said   it   looked   like   the   five-sided   pieces   of   a   leather   football.   The markings   of   important   sites   of   all   cultures   revealed   the   impressions   of   a   multi-cornered football,   where   the   cut   lines   resembled   the   seams   of   a   football   and   ran   along   five   corners. A Russian newspaper, Kosmosomlskaya Pravda, wrote: “Many   ancient   cultures   had   no   random   location,   but   were   exactly   at   the   intersections   of this   system.   So   it   was   with   the   Indus   Valley   civilization   of   Mohenjo-Daro,   Egypt,   Northern Mongolia,    Newgrange    in    Ireland,    Easter    Island,    Peru,    and    even    Kiev,    the    mother    of Russian   cities.   Along   the   seam   where   the   gigantic   plates   collide,   stretched   the   petroleum areas   of   North   Africa   and   the   Persian   Gulf.   The   same   thing   is   observed   in   America   from California to Texas.” [3]. The     network     showed     ghostly     sections, where     so     far     no     artefacts     have     been encountered.   So   the   distance   of   Nazca   in Peru   to   Giza   in   Egypt   is   the   same   as   the one    from    Teotihuacan    in    Mexico    to    Giza. And    Angkor    Wat    in    Cambodia    is    located equal     distance     from     Mohenjo-Daro     to Easter    Island    to    Nazca.    Was    there    X- millennia   ago   -   I   dare   not   even   attempt   to use     figures     -     something     like     a     Global Planning    Committee?    Determining    where groups   of   people   had   to   settle?   Were   the oldest   cultures   intentionally   situated   on   points   that   had   everything   to   do   with   resources such   as   petroleum,   minerals,   etc.?   Who   commanded   these   people?   For   what? And   when in   the   course   of   time   will   we   admit   that   these   phenomena   have   taken   place,   even   though they seem like a fairy tale? Does humanity have a legendary past behind it? Sources: [1] von Däniken, Erich. Impossible Truths. Rottenburg 2013. [2] Dating the Libyan Desert Silica Glass. Nature, No. 170, 1952.
