   In my travels looking for the Underground City near Danby, Calif. 
I was once on the north side of the Clipper Montains and found a lot 
of stones that looked like melted glass. It looked to me like there 
had been a war thousands of years ago and the combatants used 
some weapons that melted the stone and ground to turn it into glass. 
     I then started studing the subject and ran across the following 
information; ....Although the modern world did not experience atomic 
reactions until the 1940s, there is a startling amount of evidence that 
neuclear effects occurred in prehistoric times- i.e., sand metled into 
glass in certain desert areas, hill forts with vitrified portions of stone 
walls, the remains of ancient cities destroyed by what appears to have 
been intense heat.
  Those scientists who have encountered these awe-inspiring  aspects 
of prehistory stress the point that they are not referring to catastrophes 
that were cause by volcanoes, by lightning, by conflagrations se by 
humans, or by crashing comets.
    There are ancient ruins in Arabia that date back to the time when 
the southern part of the peninsula was fertile and well-watered. In 
western Arabia, there are 28 fields of scorched and shattered stones 
that cover as many as 7,000 square miles each. The stones are 
sharp-edged, densely grouped, and burned black. They are not volcanic 
in origin, but appear to date from the period when Arabia was a lush 
and fruitful land that suddenly became scorched into an instant desert. 
  Albion W. Hart, one of the first engineers to graduate from Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology, was assigned an engineering project in the interior 
of Africa. While he and his men were traveling to an almost inaccessible 
region, they had first to cross a great expanse of desert.
 "At the time he was puzzled and quite unable to explain a large expanse 
of greenish glass which covered the sands as far as he could see, writes 
Margarethe  Casson in Rocks and Minerals (No. 396, 1972).
 "Later on, during his life.. he passed by the White Sands area after the 
first atomic explosion there, and he recognized the same type of silica 
fusion which he had seen fifty years earlier in the African desert."
  In 1947, the Euphrates valley of southern Iraq, where certain religious 
traditions maintain that human life began, exploratory digging unearthed 
a layer of fused, green glass before the culture level of ancient Sumer. 
Once  again, this fused glass bore a resemblance to the desert floor 
at White Sands, New Mexico, after the nuclear blasts melted the 
sand and rock.
  The Red Chinese have conducted atomic tests near Lob Nor Lake 
in the Gobi Desert, which have left large patches of the area covered 
with vitreous sand. But the Gobi has a number of other areas of glassy 
sand which have been know for thousands of years.
  In the United States, the Mojave Desert has large, circular or polygonal 
areas that are coated with a hard substance very much like opaque 
glass.
  There are ancient hill forts and towers in Scotland, Ireland, and England 
in which the stoneworks have become calcined because of great heat 
that has been applied. There is no way that lighning could have cause 
such effects.
  Hill forts of the west Atlantic coast fringe, from the Lofoten Islands 
off nothern Norway to the Canary Islands off northwest Africa were 
destroyed by such intense heat that certain of the piled boulders of 
their circular walls have been turned to glass.
