Earth's Forbidden Secrets

Part One

Searching for the Past

By

Maxwell Igan
Author's Note

The main goal of this book is to provide information to people, much of it that is often
quite well hidden. It is my sincere hope that everyone who reads this work will be inspired to
question things and to search out these and other new truths and discoveries for themselves.

When I first started this book, it was my desire to cover a really huge variety of topics and put
a vast amount of ‘hard to get’ information all in one epic work. However, after several months of
work the word ‘epic’ began to take on a new meaning for me and the sheer volume and
intertwining nature of the text became far too cumbersome to be deemed in any way manageable
in a single book and, though the information herein is still quite vast, I was forced to remove
several chapters of work.

Due to the detailed nature of the topics I sacrificed in this 'slicing process', it is more than
likely that each sliced chapter will now be further divided into smaller portions, before then being
expanded upon into a number of separate volumes to be released at later dates.

The principle source of the biblical quotations in this book is the original Hebrew version of
the Old Testament from the 1992 Jerusalem Bible. This is because when all is said and done, all
other version of the texts are simply the translations and interpretations of various individuals and
ultimately it is what is written in the original Hebrew version that really counts. All English
biblical quotes are taken from the King James Version. A full bibliography of other sources is
also provided at the close of the book.

I do not ask or expect anyone to blindly believe what is written within the pages of this book
without investigating all the evidence for themselves, and in fact I very much urge you to do so.
In the meantime however, I hope you find this book informative and enjoyable and I thank you
in advance for taking this time to read it.

Remember, the truth is always out there somewhere, and sometimes right in front of us too, if
we would only notice.

Prologue

It has been often said that it is only by gaining a true understanding of the Earth's past that we
can ever hope to find the vital key to understanding its future and in turn, our own. Such notions
have always caused mankind to ponder himself, our planet, the stars, the universe, and beyond.
Much of this thought invariably returns to thoughts of the past and the nature of God.
Mankind has always wondered such things and ever since the dawn of our recorded history
there have been countless stories and legends to tempt the matter further: Myths from the depths
of time that hint of other, far more ancient civilizations, like ours in the 21st century or even
better, that once dwelt in mysterious lands, some of which have long since disappeared beneath
the oceans. In many of these ancient stories we read tantalizing and bizarre accounts of strange
and unknown technologies, tales of ancient gods, flying craft and ancient foes waging great wars
against each other, wars that were fought with fantastic and devastating weapons.
Over the years a great number of scholars have attempted to dispel these tales as rumors and
fanciful myths yet still the stories have persisted and in a strangely unnerving re-enforcement of
them, we find, dotted across our planet, the remains of immensely ancient and enigmatic
structures of unknown origin and even more bizarre things.
Archeologists and explorers have uncovered amazing pyramids, megalithic stone cities and
magnificent structures of intricate difficulty. Many of these structures are built in ways that are
utterly unknown to us and even still defy our current levels of technical expertise.
How did they get there? Who built them and what was their purpose?
Do they all share a common link and if so, what is it?
Strange and incongruous artifacts built by amazing and unknown technology that irrefutably
dismantle the Academic presentation of our history have also been found in places where they
simply have no place being, and there are curious stone Stele’s and cave paintings also depicting
seemingly impossible scenes from our far distant past.
So many of these types of things have now been recovered, from such a variety of locations,
that they can no longer be simply classed as unusual artifacts and dismissed as ‘curious’.

In recent years there has been a veritable storm of writers, almost reaching saturation point,
warning of dire times to come, global war, massive Earth changes, Armageddon, the fulfillment
of dark prophecies and a doom that has been long foretold that will soon descend upon our world.
Let’s face it, it has always been easy to sell Doomsday; it has been done ever since man has lived
within organized communities and there is always someone who is willing to listen. But is there
any tangible evidence for these claims and in what form does it take?
In recent years, startling new discoveries have been made and fresh evidence has been
unearthed that may help us to answer many of these and other, even more profound riddles and
perhaps shed the light that has been sorely needed to illuminate many other theories. Evidence
