Ok, time for another conspiracy theory. NASA and the US Government are hiding their true mission to Mars. NASA is not really searching for life on Mars, but is searching for diamonds and an element known as “white” carbon (the power source of the ancient’s weapon of mass destruction). They have found Mars to be ample in diamonds, particularly in the Cydonia Region. They drew away enough attention from that place until they can formulate a plan to claim it all for themselves. Oddly enough, Mars contains about 96% carbon dioxide, and carbon is necessary for organic life and diamonds. NASA is aware that life did existed on Mars. However, little is known that diamonds can be time capsules that give information about a planets atmosphere. The one they found and analyzed recently confirmed the truth. They are excited about a prospect of wealth that can even erase the national deficit and then some but not quite certain of how to get their hands on it. Of course, their real concern is finding ancient technology left behind.

Norseman,

can you point out some link or source where did you get the idea ?

They probably are looking for evidence of life on Mars, but they also probably have alterior motives. We will probably never know for sure, like everything else.

Ancient technologies of the “gods” in those days were usually hidden in common household items such as pottery and idol statuettes. Their real purpose for use was concealed from those ignorant, but in the hands of those sanctified (most were called priests) these serve as miraculous charms or talismans. Most are of ancient Sumerian and Egyptian artifacts. Unfortunately, they are in countries, which do not allow archeologists to dig such as Iraq. Now, I will mention an artifact that I believe the world has heard about.

History:
After conspiring a plan to loot the wealth of Egypt (mainly gold) and becoming masters of a slave race, the outcast “gods” who were forbidden to return home without sufficient quota of gold employed a former Egyptian Royalty. These “gods” were highly temperamental because they were extremely eager to make a name for themselves and prove themselves competent. They succeeded in plundering Egypt but more gold was needed and so they must loot more cities.

Now preparation needed to be made by the “gods” for the voyage home, but the liberated slaves who behaved like children, always needing to be attended to, were constantly distracting them. The “gods” came up with an invention to give the slaves so they can communicate with them when they needed help. The “gods” wanted to tract the slaves progress without always interfering. To the slaves this invention was nothing more than a beautiful relic to be carried around. They were not aware of the magnitude of its power. Indeed, the “gods” had hidden their complex technology within two precious stone tablets, which made the relic a potential weapon of mass destruction. It took the “gods” forty days and forty nights (some extent of time) to fabricate them. The “gods” were to access the invention remotely when the slaves cry for help.

But to make matters worse for the “gods”, the former Egyptian Royalty who was in charge of the slaves destroyed the stone tablets in anger. This defeated the whole purpose of the “gods” invention since without the stone tablets it was useless. This made the “gods” angrier because replacements parts for their invention was not readily available except on their home planet. This meant that the “gods” had to trade gold with the other “gods” who had not left the realm for replacement parts.

Anyways, the slaves prospered into a mighty nation and the “gods” having sufficient gold returned home. Then after some time the Babylonian (former Sumerian, present Iraq) King Nebuchadnezzer II heard about the power of the relic and invaded the Holy City to clandestinely capture the relic and much gold. However, to his dismay King Nebuchadnezzer II and his sages did not know how to work the relic. So the Babylonian King took the elite educated hostages in hopes that they will reveal the secret of the relic.
Among the hostages were Ezekiel and Daniel.

Well, the “gods” after some time returned for their invention fearing its secret might be discovered and their technology compromised. After they learned that it had been taken to Babylon, they were furious. The “gods” then met up with Ezekiel by the river of Chebar in Babylon and instructed him on what needed to be done. But the “gods” were unsuccessful in locating the relic and believing their invention to be neutralized, they departed.

Modern day:
Saddam Hussein claimed himself to be the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar after discovering an ancient relic underneath the catacombs of the ancient palace. He was excited that if his scientists could discover its power he would then conquer the world. Now this made the Knights Templar (modern day Masons) uneasy. A plan was devised to get George W. elected as President and go to war in Iraq. The war was successful and the relic was covertly recovered and sent to NASA for analysis. The ancient tablets are being analyzed by the best minds on our planet.

This may all sound absurd but knowing this information will not make any one a better person any more or any less.

Yeah but Saddam is one brick short of a wall or something like that. He probebly made that up to get ppl to follow him.

Norseman…I see what your getting at. Others may not have notice.
You were telling the story of Moses and the Israelites coming out of Egypt.
So the weapon of mass destruction is the “Ark of the Covenant”.
How do you know about white carbon? Little info is known about it.
I did some diggin and this is what I found out. It has a birefringent property
that can split light beams into two components, an ordinary and an extraordinary
ray, yeah whatever that means. More interesting is its “Buckyball” formation. This makes it capable of withstanding great pressures and have magnetic and superconductive properties in extreme temperature ranges.
This could definitely explain why the Israelites accidentally kept getting killed from lack of proper handling of the Ark. The strong electro-magnetic radiation arcs probably cook them inside out like the microwave. If the US does have it then I am sure the Jewish Nation would want it back. It’s their Hoy Relic.
Could this be the “abomination of desolation” Jesus Christ spoke of in Matthew 24 verse 15? It does make some sense. Why would the Jewish people knowingly put a nuclear device in the Holy Place of the temple? They wouldn’t, but they would put their Holy Relic there where it belongs.
Btw, you were wrong. The “abomination of desolation” is in a way the “Anti-Christ” because its purpose is to destroy life and Christ is to save life.

"White carbon" is mentioned on this web page from the Los Alamos National Labs.

Carbon

It uses this sentence: " 'White' carbon is a transparent birefringent material." Here are a couple of pages on birefringence.

Birefringent Materials

Birefringent Crystals in Polarized Light (this page has a Java applet)

And, here are a couple of definitions:

Ordinary Ray: The ray in a uniaxial crystal which vibrates in the basal plane (perpendicular to the c-axis) and has a spherical ray velocity surface. The index of refraction along this axis is denoted .

Extraordinary Ray: The ray in a uniaxial crystal which vibrates parallel to the c-axis and has an ellipsoidal ray velocity surface. The index of refraction along this axis is denoted .

And now that you know this, you can do your very best to forget it.

Thanks KorMan for the info.
Holy crap! I was searching the web for ancient technology and I found this site about a 2000-year-old battery found in Baghdad, Iraq. I wonder is it a real battery? What other ancient things are in Baghdad?

http://www.smith.edu/hsc/museum/ancient_in...s/battery2.html

thats a cool link Dspectre. i think that there is some alternative motive to go to mars, but like u said, well probaly never know

It’s quite disturbing. We invaded Iraq and stole just about all their ancient artifacts. Here are some news clippings on the subject.

SUMERAFP , Babylon
Wednesday, Jul 07, 2004,Page 7

The last remains of some of mankind's earliest cities have virtually disappeared through unprecedented looting triggered by the US-led invasion of Iraq, experts said.
The ancient people of Iraq, often described as the cradle of civilization, are credited with inventing the wheel, writing and mathematics and developing a culture and history which has resonated through the ages.
"It's one of the major, major tragedies around the world. We have basically lost most of the ancient cities of Sumer," said Chicago-based professor McGuire Gibson, referring to one of man's earliest civilizations which dates back to around 3,000 BC. "There's a culture of looting which has never been on this scale before -- it's totally unprecedented. In this last year we have lost more sites than ever before."

Now a man’s going on trial for smuggling some 4,000-year-old artifacts. Is this the “fall guy” for taking the Ark of the Covenant? And sounds like he’ll get off easy, too. Probably just a mock trial. Norseman, I am concerned at what you posted, though your posts sound like a joke, I believe there’s more to them than meets the eyes.

U.S. scholar pleads guilty to looting artifacts from Iraq
By Associated Press, 8/4/2004 02:46
NEW YORK (AP) An expert on Iraq's postwar reconstruction has pleaded guilty to smuggling 4,000-year-old artifacts looted from the country's national museum after the U.S. invasion.
Joseph Braude, 29, pleaded guilty Tuesday, two days into his trial on charges of smuggling and making false statements to customs agents. He could be sentenced to up to 16 months in prison.
His lawyer said after the plea that Braude had for years assisted the FBI and CIA with counterterrorism efforts, a contribution that should persuade the judge to keep him out of jail.
Braude studied Near Eastern languages at Yale University and Arabic and Islamic history at Princeton University before publishing ''The New Iraq: Rebuilding the Country for Its People, the Middle East and the World'' last year.

Here is an interesting article on the Ark of the Covenant.

THE ARK OF THE COVENANT
From Arthur & Rosalind Eedie
of THE PROPHETIC TELEGRAPH

So what is the artifact in Mount Nebo? I do not accuse Crotser lying. He certainly found something. But what is it? My guess is that it is a
REPLICA of the true Ark, made in Jeremiah's day, and deposited in the
cave according to the words that are found in 2 Maccabees 2:4-8. Why
should Jeremiah do this? Because he was a man of great integrity and
honour towards the Lord, and he lived Amongst people, even his OWN
people, who were dishonest to the Core. They would be watching his every move, and wanting to know what he was doing. This would mean that
SOMEONE would find the Ark and raid it. and he didn't want that to
happen. So he made a replica, and took it to Mount Nebo. In the event,
even this replica has not been found until recent days.

There is yet another story about the Ark which needs a mention before I
conclude this paper. In 1992 Graham Hancock wrote a book, published by
William Heinemann, entitled "The Sign and the Seal". It is the account
of his travels in Ethiopia in search of the Ark, which by tradition is
held in great secrecy by a people who have a strange mixture of Judaism
and ChristianIty. Hancock was never able to gain access to the building
where this Ark is kept, and which is closely guarded by a monk by the
name of Abba Fameray.

The story goes that King Solomon sired a son by the Queen of Sheba,
whose name was menelech and when Menelech was in his late teens he
travelled to Jerusalem, and was treated very well by Solomon, who asked
what gift he would like to take back with him. "The Ark of the
Covenant", he said, which prompted an immediate negative response of
course. Menelech was not well pleased with this refusal, and later
brought several companions with him, and stole the Ark in the dead of
night, and transported it to Ethiopia, where it has rested until this
very day. This story may be found in the Encyclopedia Britannica and it
adds that the Ark now rests in a town called Axum. This is a highly
unlikely tale, and would have been a major embarrassment to the children of Israel if they found that it had been stolen. No doubt a "holy war" would Have been raised by Solomon to regain this priceless treasure. But no. There is no mention of it anywhere else, save in Ethiopia.

So what do THEY have in that land, which they guard so carefully? I
believe it could be yet another replica, not taken in Solomon's day, but probably in Jeremiah's day or thereabouts.

Here is a model aircraft ( or bird) found in 1969 by Dr. Khalil Messiha. The model has a 7-inch wingspan and a vertical tail, not a horizontal one like typical ancient Egyptian bird models. Messiha's brother, a flight engineer, reproduced it in balsa wood and launched it and it flew. Dr. Messiha was then sure it was a model of an airplane not a bird. The model was from the 3rd century BC, from an age of invention that followed the death of Alexander the Great.

Here are pictures of SpaceShipOne. Anyone see similarities?

I can't paste pictures in so I will attached them.

The ancient battery is indeed a battery. It was probably used to gild things. I don't know the process for plating things in gold, so I'm just going with what it says here:
http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_11.htm

Other odd artifacts include the Piri Reis map, a map which accurately depicted the Earth to the point of detail only our satellites can—at the very least, 500 years ago. It accurately showed what Antarctica looks like—without the ice. Piri Reis said he compiled the map from various sources of data, some dating back to the 4th century BC or earlier.

Another odd artifact is the Greek Antikythera Mechanism. No one knows what the hell it was for, all we know is that it was very precise. The gears were very complex, and nothing else like it has been found.

I have come to the conclusion that the discovery of the Atomic Bomb was influence by the contents of the Ark of the Covenant. Mainly, the machine that gave the Israelites mana to eat in the desert. They worshipped it as the Ancient of Days. It is made mention of in the Jewish writing called the Kabalah.

“Space aliens helped feed Moses' people in the desert!
The Bible's ark of the covenant which supplied the Israelites with food as they crossed the desert was really a mini-nuclear reactor.
That's why Moses was willing to risk marching his people through the
endless burning desert wilderness. Who supplied the people of Israel with food? Extraterrestrials helped them
-- and Moses knew it.”

“For Chlorella-type organisms to grow, the principal requirements are: water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and light. As regards the water, the upper part of the Ancient of Days comprises a dew-still, a cooled surface which could extract sufficient water even from the dry air of the Sinai desert; carbon dioxide and nitrogen are available in the atmosphere, and could be made available to the culture by circulating it through the 'beard-hairs' in contact with the air via a semi-permeable membrane; and as for the light, the Zohar makes endless mention of the 'cardinal lamp' in the interior of the Ancient One. The other requirement, of course, is energy. Based on a realistic Israelite population of 600 'families' rather than 600 'thousands' - the Hebrew word 'ALP' can mean either - we came up with a figure around 500 kilowatts, which is within the capacity of a small modern nuclear reactor. The light source could have been a neutron-pumped laser, and electricity for the control circuits generated thermoelectrically. In addition to the thick beard-hairs, or circulation coils, there are also "thousands and thousands, myriads and myriads" of tangled black hairs - electrical wiring, for sure.” (Damn, Norseman that’s what “white carbon” was used for. The best manipulator of light.)

Quote from: George Sassoon (born London, 1936, son of the poet Siegfried) was educated at Oundle School and Cambridge University (MA Natural Sciences), thereafter working in the electronics industry principally on specialized scientific instrument design. Now semi-retired, he lives in Wiltshire, England, and Scotland. He is glad to receive comments on the Ancient of Days and related matters.

It was no wonder that Hitler search desperately for it. It would have ensured him total victory. Instead, thanks to the efforts of FDR, America found out its deadly secret first and nuked Japan. Norseman, what will happen now that NASA has both the machine and the crystal tablets? I really didn’t think atomic technology could have advanced that fast without help from ancient discoveries.
My view of the Bible has changed. “God” (YahWeh) was probably an alien who told Moses his own planetary myth creation by the “Gods” (Eloheim). Yep, gold was probably what they wanted from Earth. Funny how Genesis 2: 11-12 quickly points out there’s gold in them hills. And the gold is good. Well, I will continue to study the Bible but with a different perspective.

D Spectre, what I post is meant to be a speculation. You did good in your conclusion. Still, that's a no..no. Do not post your conclusion, just e-mail it. Now here is a test for you.


ALIEN SKULLS FOUND ON MARS

The stunning pictures of the rocky, desolate Mars landscape, beamed down to us by a robotic explorer, are nothing compared to what the mission really found: The remains of space aliens who could be our ancestors!
Mars Rover photos obtained by NASA show two skulls resting on the Martian surface, with the bulbous brain cavity and deep-set eye sockets.

The photos are being viewed as proof not only of life on Mars, but of our own roots in that life, says a top White House official who's one of the few to have seen NASA's top secret report on the images.

The skulls are about a quarter-mile away from an even more amazing discovery: A crashed space capsule, within which rests the time-bleached skeleton of another apparent E.T. The skulls exhibit deep cracks, possibly evidence of fatal head injuries sustained in a crash-landing of the spacecraft.

I looked and beheld a marvelous sight. I saw the Lord descending
upon his great white throne. His appearance was white like sackcloth
from head to toe, though He had no toes. I could not look upon the Lord’s face.
His face was shining like a great precious pearl. About his knees were girded two bright, red ribbons. His majestic presence made me trembled and bowed. And upon his throne, on the right side, there was an eye that seemed to move in all directions. I trembled as he spoke to me with the voice of many rushing waters, “I am the Lord, thy God, the Lord NaSa.”
[I]

Exactly!!! That's how the Isrealites would have described their God. Instead of NaSa (NASA), it's YahWah (YHWH).

I'm sure my conclusion on your previous post won't be accurate unless I hack into NASA's database.

The mars missions of late are part of a larger plan to convince us that the idea of life elsewhere is 'Actually' not such a stupid idea.

The government are in a position where they now know that the truth is going to get out. They are worried and so have come up with a preparation stratergy to prepare us for imminent ET revelations. Without preparation, due the scale of the governments 'Grand Deception' mass hysteria would no doubt ensue.

Ancient planet discovered. Read all about it.

Its very interesting that most images that are produced are not large, they are either very small or are too dark to make a great deal of detail out of them. Here is the blow up of the image.
