I do not know if Dr. Brandenburg is aware of other spiritual/psychic sources that directly support his conclusions regarding the annihilation of an ancient Martian civilization (or even if he cares about such sources). In any case, I would like to briefly reference some of the corroboration for his thesis coming from, for instance, the ongoing efforts at instrumental transcommunication implemented by Mark Macy and his group, who have attempted to create a radio means of communicating with scientists in the spiritual world, which is presented in Macy's book, "Miracles in the Storm". [The following summary is mostly excerpted from an endnote in a paper I recently published (2014).]
Mark Macy is one of the original pioneers of the work done to establish instrumental transcommunication (ITC) or, that is, to technologically facilitate communication between the physical world and the spirit world. In his book Miracles in the Storm, Macy shares that their experimental group on earth spent an extended period communicating with a group of ancient, ethereal beings in the spirit world, known as The Seven, who were later basically understood to be angels, and who demonstrated themselves to be beings of great love and wisdom. Macy explains that his group of researchers received many profound messages from The Seven, but among those messages, some of the most fascinating had to do with man's distant past and with the most ancient history of human civilization. The story of the origins of the human race that Macy was given through ITC is one that begins on a different planet than Earth in our solar system, and it is a story that is quite similar to those told by such researchers as Zechariah Sitchin and Erich von Daniken. The main reason, however, why this story is relevant here is because it illustrates how ancient beings established a technologically advanced civilization on Mars, and how that civilization was suddenly wiped out by cataclysmic astronomical events.
In brief, Macy shares that millions of years ago a planet called Marduk existed in our solar system, whose orbit was between that of Mars and Jupiter. Marduk was a beautiful, lush planet and human civilization there was highly advanced scientifically and technologically. Through using crystals to manipulate subtle energies, the people of Marduk developed extraordinary antigravity devices, facilitated telepathic communication with each other as well as with intelligent minds from distant worlds, and pioneered great advances in genetic engineering and energy production. Utilization of such subtle energies allowed all people to know and accept the reality of life after death, and to clearly realize that all animate and inanimate things in the universe have a form of subtle body--with human beings, this was the spirit-self/spirit body, and with rocks, trees, planets, etc., it was a type of incorporeal astral body. The in-depth understanding of subtle energies and subtle bodies eventually led to the full-scale grasp of subtle dimensions, as Macy explains here:
"The people realized that their very own planet Marduk had spiritual counterparts--parallel worlds existing in subtler dimensions. <One branch of science on Marduk involved a space-time doorway through which people could travel between dimensions.> They could enter the portal on the physical planet Marduk and emerge in astral worlds. <The natural laws and the physics of the two realities were quite different from each other. For example, in the astral worlds there were no gravity, no time, and no space as there were in the physical world.> Scientists studied these differences as part of the natural sciences of multidimensional living." [Mark H. Macy, Miracles in the Storm (New York, NY: New American Library division of Penguin Putnam, Inc., 2001), p. 141. Text between the open and closed angle brackets is information explicitly received from The Seven; the rest of the quoted text is Mark Macy's interpretive elaboration of the angle-bracketed text.]
Thus, Marduk had apparently developed a kind of spiritual technology in the form of a dimensional portal that allowed Marduk’s inhabitants to travel and research interdimensionally, i.e., that enabled them to experience a form of dimensional translation through which they could easily explore parts of the spiritual universe, and no doubt commune with its inhabitants. This fascinating story does not end here, however. Macy further shares that Marduk's dimensional portal technology was also discovered to be useful for space travel in the physical universe:
"One small branch of <the complex Marduk scientific establishment involved itself with space travel.> It was not travel by propulsion as we know it today. Rather, the travelers would leave the physical world to enter the subtler realms of spacelessness and timelessness, then simply reenter the physical realm in a new location." [Mark H. Macy, Miracles in the Storm, p. 141.]
In short, as revealed by The Seven, the portal technology enabled many scientists--geologists, biologists, physicists, etc.--to carefully investigate, and eventually colonize other planets in our solar system, especially Mars and the Earth. When these scientists first visited Earth, they discovered a lush planet with only primitive life, and a few species of primates. Eventually, however, both Mars and Earth became home to a substantial remnant from Marduk, replete with all their scientific advancements.
Scientists on Marduk continued to expand their investigations into energy production and had achieved a highly advanced civilization--a kind of paradise. Yet, for all of their lofty development, they could and did make mistakes. One day, all of a sudden, very unexpectedly, the planet Marduk exploded as a result of a serious misjudgment in their high-energy physics experimentation. This catastrophic event completely obliterated Marduk, transforming in an instant this edenic planet into what today we know as the Asteroid Belt lying between Mars and Jupiter. This explosion also rained huge amounts of planetary debris upon Mars, destroying all life and settlements there. Personally, it does not seem at all impossible to me that such a cataclysmic event/explosion could have reached the level of one billion megatons (as Dr. Brandenburg mentions in his book) and beyond, the greatest brunt of which would have clearly hammered Mars. Thus, such a scenario in which Martian civilization was wiped out through a planet-level accident of some sort seems a quite reasonable and plausible alternative to otherwise supposing that a hostile, spacefaring entity deliberately extirpated the civilization.
(Meanwhile, those contingents colonizing the Earth, now bereft of their home planet, responded by mobilizing their native technology to create the civilization of Atlantis over a period of several thousand years. In the end, however, Atlantis failed to learn from the mistakes of its ancestors and destroyed itself and its continent 25,000 years ago in a way similar to how Marduk was destroyed. A fascinating story--perhaps someday we will all be able to know definitively the truth of this story. [Mark H. Macy, Miracles in the Storm, summary of pp. 140-142.])
Finally, I am employed professionally as an editor and a proofreader, and need to mention that there were literally hundreds of proofreading/editing snafus in this book--which was very disappointing to me, because the information in the book and Dr. Brandenburg’s overall conclusions and final message are so important and profound. Punctuation was often missing, inconsistent, irrelevant/unnecessary, or just plain incorrect--and in many instances, close-quotes are shown as open-quotes, or vice versa, plus in dozens of locations, there appears an anomalous space between the text and the following comma. Important words were dropped in numerous sentences (e.g., “World War I” appears as “World I” on p. 159, etc.), and in other sentences, extra words were inadvertently retained, making the sentences incoherent. Names of well-known persons were misspelled--Louis Friedman appears as “Louis Freidman” on pp. 156 and 157, and Whitley Strieber appears as “Whitely Stieber” on p. 357. There were many inconsistencies in capitalization of terms, hyphenation, line-spacing and presentation in the Reference sections, and word-spacing in many text paragraphs, as well as many missing apostrophes, etc. Hyphens were used to take the place of em-dashes, etc. There were numerous instances of the misusage of English words, e.g., “There” should be “Their” (p. 171, 3 lines from top of page), “their” should be “there” (p. 198, 5 lines from top of page), “it’s” should be “its” (p. 234, 7 lines from top of page). Any competent proofreader would have fixed/corrected most of these problems and, if the spacing snafus were actually printing problems, then the author should demand that the book be reprinted correctly. Again, overall, the book suffers from sloppy production.
However, despite the foregoing problems, the pictures (both color and black/white), graphs, and explanatory content in the book are fascinating and thought-provoking. On this basis, I would highly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in considering that a thriving, humanoid, ancient Martian civilization most probably existed millions of years ago, and that we are destined to learn extraordinary lessons from it once we can actually travel to Mars. Again, many thanks to Dr. Brandenburg for writing this book to capture our imagination, as the human race moves out into a cosmic frontier.
The one thing that may yet save us is that we now see ships of many different designs, and therefore probably different origins and races, parked or transiting very near our sun (presumably to refuel - I see them from time to time using my 8" Dobsonian and solar filters), and those who destroyed the indigenous Martians so long ago will not dare to wipe out an entire race while the other major space-faring beings in our galaxy look on. You can bet there are understood "rules" for such things and severe punishments for those who break them. However, there are other ways we can be destroyed, and many of us suspect one of those ways is genetic infiltration, which we think may already be underway.
I agree with the author - we MUST go to Mars and investigate the murder of our neighbors, which is surely a holocaust that is difficult even to imagine, if for no other reason than to protect our own hides. And I think he is also correct in that it will affect those first investigators who look on the remains of hundreds or even thousands of the dead at a time. They will surely need some serious emotional support as they continue their research and investigation.
I suspect Dr. Brandenburg knows, but did not mention that JPL is also guilty of hiding, airbrushing, and even blatant cut and paste manipulation of the image collections they are "responsible" for maintaining (with OUR tax dollars) showing the the remains of cities, structures, and even life still on the surface of Mars, and who knows what else, but you can be sure that those of us who work with imaging software (at the level of its design) can easily see proof of it, and we are able to see through some of their lies and shenanigans.
If our governments are intelligent enough to get moving on his recommended endeavor, I believe we will find that there were two major races living on Mars when it was destroyed. One similar to a bronze-age in development responsible for many of the large monolithic structures, and the second race more advanced - closer to our own state of technology (evident in everything from automobiles, roads, and tunnels to modern ships of steel on the now dead oceans), who, for the most part, lived in peace with each other. They lived almost side-by-side, two different races, with different capabilities, and different levels of technology on the same planet. Look for "The King of Mars" on YouTube to see a real, petrified specimen of the Bronze-age beings - he is NOT a statue, I assure you (and they looked awesome). Specimens of the more advanced race is not so easy to find. There is also a small 10 to 20 cm bipedal creature who some think may still be alive there, living underground for the most part, a little insect-like in appearance, but no one ventures to guess if they are, or were truly sentient or not.
We have a lot to learn from that mega-disaster, if only we actually go there and become educated. I wonder how much our governments really know and are simply not telling us - even you were lied to when you thought you were on the "inside" - With so much compartmentalization and 40 to 50 BILLION dollars (or more) unaccounted for, I wonder... is ANYONE really "on the inside" any more?
This book is a MUST READ for those who have their eyes open and want to know more about the universe in which we really live. The truth is scarier than the darkest science fiction. And you can count me in on Dr. Brandenburg's mission to Mars. When do we leave?
Top reviews from other countries
Has huge implications for Historians, Archaeology, Planetology etc.
Dr Brian Cox should and maybe would endorse the material subject if an 'open' minded scientific media debate was forthcoming.
Alas it will probably be business as usual.
As to who may have sent a 'nuclear' device to destroy Mars ability to maintain life- it could have been us in the far distant past- read the 'Giza Death Star' by Joseph P Farrell- an extremely serious author on many subjects.
