  Here is some more information about evidence of very hot blasts  of energy 
in the past.
   ....One of the oldest cities in the world is thought to be Catal Huyuk in 
southcentral  Turkey. Paradoxically, the city appeared, according to first 
know evidence, to have been fully civilized and then, suddenly, to have died 
out.
  Archaeologists excavating portions of Catal Huyuk found thick layers of 
burned brick at one of the levels.  The blocks had been fused together by 
such intense heat that its effects penetrated to a depth more than a meter 
below the level of the floors where it carbonized the earth, the skeletal  
remains of the dead, and the burial gifts that had  been interred with them. 
All bacterial decay had been halted by the tremendous heat.
  When a large ziggurat in Babylonia was excavated, it gave the appearance of 
having been struck by a terrible fire that had split it down to its 
foundation. In other parts of the runs, large sections of brickwork had been 
scorched into a vitrified state. Several masses of brickwork had  been 
rendered into a completely molten state. Even large boulders found in the 
vicinity of the ruins had been vitrified. 
  The royal buildings at a north Syrian site had been burned so completely 
that the very core of the thick walls had bright red crumbling mud-bricks. 
The mud and lime wall plaster had become vitrified and basalt wall slabs 
had, in some areasa, actuallly melted.
  Between India's Ganges River and Rajmahal Hills are scorched ruins 
containing large masses of stone that  have been fused and hollowed. Certain 
travelers who ventured to the heart of the Indian forests have reported 
ruins of cities in which the walls have become huge slabs of crystal, due to 
some intense heat. 
  While exloring Death Valley in 1850, and adventurer, William Walker, claimed 
to have come upon the ruins of an ancient city. An end of a large building 
within the rubble had had its stones melted and vitrified.
  Today, of course, the area is a sterile disert; but earlier in this article 
we have already mentioned the evidence which indicates that Death Valley was 
once a tropical paradise, populate by an unknown race of giants.
  This is me JW talking now. While I was in Death Valley in Jan. 1993 I heard 
a lecture by the Ranger there and he stated that there was once a lake there 
that was about 600 to 700 feet deep, many years ago. Now back to our story.
...Walker stated that the entire region between the Gila and St. John rivers 
was spotted with ruins. Each of the ancient settlements had been burned out 
and vitrified in part by fire intense enough to have liquefied rock. Paving 
blocks and stone houses were split with huge cracks, as if seared by some 
monstrous sword of fire. 
  The site of Sete Cidades (Seven Cities), Brazil, was first charted in 1928. 
The ruins located near the equator in the Province of Piaui, are, according 
to some researchers, a monstrous chaos as one might imagine Gomorrah to have 
appeared after God's judgment on the ancient city.  The stones are dried 
out, destroyed, melted. Although no formal excavation has yet been conducted 
at the site, there is no geological explanation to answer how the lumps of 
melted rock appeared to dot the surrounding plains. 
  In the holy books are lengends of many ancient peoples with innumerable 
accounts of wars between the Heavens and the Earth. Cosmic revolutions and 
civil wars were said to have rent or split the prehistoric worlds on 
serveral occasions. More than one Sodom and Gomorrah exploded so that"..the 
smoke rose up like that from a mighty furnace." References to the 
destruction of ancient cities by great blasts of neclear-type power and heat 
are found in the scriptures of the Hindu and the Hebrew and in the myths of 
people as diverse as the American Indian and the African.
  When we were in Peru investigating the massive ruins of such cities as 
Sacsahuaman and Machu Piccu and the fascinating villages that dot Lake 
Titicaca, certain Shamnans told us that they expect the return of the True 
Inkas, the giants of old, to occur in the very near future, quite likely by 
the end of this century. We  can only wonder should such an odyssey of  time 
and space occor whether the giants of super science in our prehistory will 
be favorably impressed with their scattered clony on Earth-Or if we may 
anticipate our being the prize in another war of the worlds?
The End.
