Dear Andrew:

Although I read a number of scientific journals every month I have not
noticed that any of them speak of the recent discovery of large skeletons.

I was looking over a rather large book that surveyed certain areas where
Scientific museums and repositories concealed (it was so alleged)
information which was damaging to the generally accepted hypothesis
concerning the dating of "evolution" of man's physical form from an APE.

If you are interested I will try and get for you more details on this rather
large book, published in San Diego in the last year, I believe.   It goes
rather persuasively into scientific concealment -- and that seems to be on a
rather large scale for some reason.  Who wants to buck Academia ?  -- and
hope for any recognition ?

 In the past 50 years the Leakys have pushed man's antiquity back to over 4
million years.  In School when I was taught about 300,000 years was the then
accepted probable date.  Why is there this tendency to keep evolution recent
?

Of course the discoveries of enormous distances and times in the Cosmos
through astro-physics has enlarged our modern perceptions as to time and
space.  So why not the Earth too, and man's ancestry ?

Have you followed in the matter of the Sphinx and Egypt the recent conflict
as to its building or carving date, raised by the geologists who claim that
evidence of erosion (by rain and water) shows it had to be built around
10,500 BC when Egypt received are more rain than it does now.  Of course the
Egyptologists are in  conflict with the geologists, as a revision of that
date would render their dating obsolete.  And the same matter pertains to
the building of the Pyramids, which in theosophy is said to be 50 to 75,000
years ago.

In ISIS and S D are several references to Giants, Cyclopeans, Titans, Kabiri
and their remains:

    SD  II 154 277-88 336 341 347 350 365 409-10 753-4 352 674 678 723 753-5

    ISIS I  31 122 125 133 148 150 153 (303-4) 549 567 595
    ISIS II  218 275 422 448 450 487

As I recall, Charles Fort in his books gave accounts as reported in
Newspapers, etc., of the discovery of giant forms.  Velikovsky in the 1940s
also wrote of giants and the revisions necessary in the chronology of Egypt.
Have you seen those books ?

Best wishes,

Dallas
