Technology of the Gods lays out the mind-bending evidence that long-lost civilizations had attained and even exceeded our "modern" level of advancement. Westerners have been taught that humankind has progressed along a straight-line path from the primitive past to the proficient present, but the hard, fast evidence (literally written in stone!) proves that the ancients had technologies we cannot even replicate today.

Traces the story of how ancient cultures envisioned artificial life, automata, self-moving devices and human enhancements, sharing insights into how the mythologies of the past related to and shaped ancient machine innovations.

David Hatcher Childress, popular Lost Cities author and star of the History Channel’s long-running show Ancient Aliens, takes us to the mysterious ruins in the mountains of Peru and Bolivia in search of ancient technology and the secrets of megalith building. In his new book, packed with photos and diagrams, Childress examines the amazing stonecutting at Puma Punku, a site neighboring the ancient ruins of Tiwanaku near Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. He looks at whether the so-called “Inca walls”-found in Cuzco and at other sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu-were really made by the Incas. The evidence seems to support the idea that they were actually constructed by a far older culture. Childress examines the megalithic construction and underground chambers of Chavin in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, possibly the oldest megalithic site in South America. He also speculates on the existence of a sunken city in Lake Titicaca and reveals new evidence that the Sumerians may have arrived in South America over 4,000 years ago. Childress demonstrates that the use of “keystone cuts” with metal clamps poured into them to secure megalithic construction was an advanced technology used all over the world, from the Andes to Egypt, Greece and Southeast Asia. He maintains that only power tools could have made the intricate articulation and drill holes found in extremely hard granite and basalt blocks in Bolivia and Peru, and that the megalith builders had to have had advanced methods for moving and stacking gigantic blocks of stone, some weighing over 100 tons. The incredible high-tech world of South America is illuminated in the informative and breezy style for which Childress has always been known. Chapters in the book include: The Lost World of South America; The Enigma of Ancient Technology; Ancient Technology at Tiwanaku and Puma Punku; The Sumerian Mining Complex at Tiwanaku; Mysteries of Lake Titicaca and the Towers; Ancient Technology in Cuzco; The Megaliths of Ollantaytambo; Did the Incas Build Machu Picchu?; and more!

An analysis of Heidegger’s philosophy of technology.

"The Technology of God is a science fiction metaphysical thriller, based on the real life theory of award-winning physicist Nassim Haramein. This unification theory is rocking the world of science and religion as it offers a complete scientific understanding of both the physical and spiritual expressions of creation. Aleya Annaton, Emissary of Haramein?s Resonance Project Foundation, has masterfully woven the elements of this profound new understanding of our universe into a thrilling romantic adventure. The story is set in a near future America, controlled by an extreme fundamentalist religious faction that has taken over the government. Physicist Dr. Alex Harmon, along with his colleague and lover, the beautiful Sydney Stewart, are seeking a theory that would unlock the secrets of creation? a forbidden subject under the new religious law. Believing the physics of space-time was encoded into the world?s religious traditions, they set out to decipher clues passed down in manuscripts, secret societies, and monuments around the world. When they discover the universe works in ways contrary to mainstream science as well as the prevailing religious doctrine, they are thrust into the crosshairs of the tyrannical leader of the new religious state. As they set out to build a technology to access a mysterious realm they believe underlies all of physical creation, they must negotiate a world of political intrigue, ancient initiation, love, betrayal and contact with Beings from other worlds. What they find at the end of their quest is no less than the answers to the most intriguing questions man has pondered since he first gazed at the stars."--
