"It was famine
time in India. I was assisting in relief
work the high priest of a college temple."
-
"For more than
two years I studied diligently a dead
language my priestly friend believed to be
the original language of mankind."

-
"In southern
India the temples have libraries of ancient
writings, but none, apparently, go back
beyond the Sanskrit. I worked over several
of these with high priests and they were all
in Sanskrit and on religious subjects. As
none of them contained any facts of
historical value, I was not sufficiently
interested to continue their study."

"PANAPE Ð On
Panape stands what I consider to be the most
important ruin in the South Sea Islands. It
consists of the ruins of a great temple, a
structure 300 feet long by 60 feet wide,
with walls standing (in 1874) 30 feet high,
and at the ground 5 feet in thickness."

"I have,
however, separate sketches of these symbols
which I made many years ago before the
French got possession of Angkor. There was a
hard, dangerous journey to reach Angkor from
the coast, and I had some thrilling
experiences; but that is the usual thing
with all explorers Ð it is what is bound to
happen."

"Before the
death of Dr. Le Plongeon, he gave the writer
his unpublished notes and translations for
copy; so that what I say about Yucatan comes
principally from the result of Dr. Le
Plongeon's twelve years among the ruins,
much of which, however, I have corroborated
by personal examination."

"The great
Naacal Library is purely traditional I do
not think that ever a scrap was written
about it. It was traditional history told me
by my dear old Rishi friend and preceptor,
that induced in me the craving to see it,
although I knew it was a tough road to reach
it, as will be seen by little sketches I
made along the route they were mere field
pencil sketches and since finished off."

"I have
personally gone over the Central parts of
the Asiatic flooded area. It extends from
the Bering Straits to about 100° Longitude.
East of Greenwich. It extends into Alaska to
Point Barrow in the Artic Ocean. The line
runs slightly westerly to near the mouth of
the Yukon River, and from the Yukon River
due South to the Pacific Ocean."

"I have citied
and stopped for a time at some of these
monasteries, and my belief is, that those
there today are the descendants of the
Naacals who escaped with their lives the
persecution of the Brahmins.
The monasteries I refer to are not the
llamaseries, and monasteries which are
filled with Tibetans. These are a different
sect and are not Buddhists, although they
speak of Buddha as a Saint."

"During the few
short years I spent in close intimacy with
my dear old friend and teacher, he had just
passed the allotted span of man's life
"three score and ten years..."
-
"At that time
1876 he knew of two others only besides
himself, who understood the ancient
religion, language and writings of the
Nagas, both of these were relatives and
older than himself."

Preface
-
"All matters of
science in this work are based on the
translations of two sets of ancient tablets.
Nacaal tablets which I discovered in India
many years ago, and a large collection of
stone tablets, over 2500, recently
discovered by William Niven in Mexico"
-
"The Nacaal
tablets which I came across in the Orient
were only fragments of the various subjects
with many missing links."
Page 17
-
"These
assertions can be proven by the complex
records I discovered upon long-forgotten
sacred tablets in India, together with
records from other countries."
-
"It was famine
time in India. I was assisting in relief
work the high priest of a college temple."

"In 1878 when in
the Caroline Islands, the natives told me
that "the people who occupied these islands
when the islands were not islands but a
great land, had very large boats in which
they sailed all over the world and were
sometimes gone for more than a year before
they returned."

"Although I have
several times passed quite close to them
[Lacadive and Maldive Islands], I have never
been on any of them, so cannot say whether
they are parts of the sunken land still
above water, or whether they are the
subsequent work of coral insects."

"Back in the 80s
I was with an expedition making a geological
investigation from a point south of Lake
Baikal to the mouth of the Lena River and to
the islands beyond in the Artic Ocean. Our
examination along the route disclosed the
fact that some thousands of years before a
huge cataclysmic wave of water without ice
had passed over this area, traveling from
south to north. We found no traces of this
flood beyond the 100° East of Greenwich, but
we found evidences of this wave to the limit
of our easterly travels."

"One evening
just before I was leaving India, placing his
hand on my shoulder, my old friend said: "My
son, would you like to take a long journey
with me tonight?"

On one occasion
he told me that there were some written
records about Jesus in certain Himalayan
monasteries; and gave me such letters of
introduction to the heads of these
monasteries, that on application I
experienced no difficulty in obtaining a
sight of these precious documents.
-
In the great
Hemis monastery at Ley-Cashmir there are
copies written in a jumble of Pali and
Tibetan. I mention this institution, because
anyone using the right sort of persuasion
can see all and everything there is in this
monastery. I did not see an original
document in the place: there may be some
there, they declared, however I had been
shown everything they had.
-
In a monastery
in Tibet I found some tablets referring to
Atlantis and among them a history of Osiris:
it reads:
-
During the 7
years while I had the great privilege of
being the only pupil of the greatest Master
who has lived for the last 1900 years (and
yet he was unknown to the world generally)
he would gladly and willingly explain to me
the laws behind the various phenomena that
we call "mystic" or "cosmic."

"It [Quetzzacoatl]
is still to be found in the impenetrable
jungles and swamps of Yucatan and Central
America, but extremely rare. During all my
explorations I have only seen one, and I
never want to see another. It is the most
venomous serpent ever known on earth."

"Sixty years ago
I was sitting in the shade of feathery palms
in India, with my old preceptor, the Rishi,
deciphering and translating these precious
Naacal relics."

"Light rays
correspond with the colors shown in the
spectrum: The spectrum does not record or
disclose any of the dark rays. This I
demonstrated and proved in a court of law in
Europe, when as an expert witness I proved
that temperatures cannot be measured by the
spectrum. At the same time I demonstrated
and proved that heat is carried by the dark
invisible rays alone."

"Although
geology asserts that the ice cap extended
completely around the Northern Hemisphere,
it is particularly reticent about giving any
details about any phenomena found in Siberia
or Eastern Asia. I shall not be so reticent,
as I am going to tell what I found there
when I joined an expedition for that purpose
in the late 70's."

"An elevation of
60,000 feet is more than twice as high as
the highest peaks in the world today, which
are on the Himalaya Mountains in Northern
India, over whose foothills and lower slopes
I have passed many a time."

"Darwin's notes
bring vividly to my mind a similar phenomena
which I witnessed in the Malay Islands. I
was seated on a cliff, about 100 feet above
sea level, when I was severely shaken up by
an earthquake in close proximity somewhere.
On looking out to the sea, about 6 or 8
miles off, the sea was rising like a great
hump. As the hump went up, the water receded
along the shore, then a small rocky island
pierced the hump of water. As it came up the
waters rolled off from it in great circular
waves without crests, one following
another."

"Mt. Ngauruhoe
(New Zealand) is on this belt in the North
Island. I consider this one of the most
dangerous mountains on earth. When I went
over it in the late '70s I found the crater
badly choked, and for nearly one-third of
the distance down the sides of the mountain
ejections were being made. When one lay flat
on the ground and put an ear to the soil,
rolling and rumbling of the fires
underneath, within the mountain could be
plainly heard."

"Having
personally made a study around the
neighborhood of Lake Baikal, and the Lena
Watershed, I am in a position to state a few
facts; a few only, because my study extended
only a few weeks, and the volcanic
conditions was not the object of my
principal study."

"Younghusband,
in describing his first site of these
towering mountains, says: 'And beyond? ...'
"

"Where I had
reached no white man had ever reached
before." (quoting Younghusband)

"It is stated
that there are written records about the
elevation of the Himalayas and the
destruction of the people, in some of the
old Chinese Tao Temples. When I was in the
Orient, it was more than one's life was
worth to attempt to enter these temples to
get a site of these old writings."
