“As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us – aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.”
– Stephen Hawking
Mysterious surgeries performed by early humans…strange beings with miraculous powers…and a cover-up destroying centuries of scientific knowledge. Are recent breakthroughs in medicine the result of years of research? Or does the knowledge of healing really come from an otherworldly source? Evidence of advanced medical procedures practiced in the ancient world has been found everywhere from carvings on the walls of temples to actual skeletal remains. But just who were the practitioners of this extraordinary science? And where did their knowledge of the human body come from? Accounts from various cultures describe similar divine, bird-like figures that brought advanced medical knowledge to mankind thousands of years ago. Who-or-what were these ancient surgeons? Is it possible that these gods may have been extraterrestrial beings that came to Earth to teach humans how to heal themselves? [19]

INTRODUCTION [19a]
Mysterious surgeries performed by early humans…
|
“Very well planned, and it happened well before the advent of modern medicine.” – Tori Randall, Ph.D. |
…Strange beings with miraculous powers…
| “Even though the gods forbade it, he was actually able to raise the dead.”
– Philip Coppens |
…And a cover-up, destroying centuries of scientific knowledge.
| “People are afraid of it. The religious side is especially afraid.”
– Erich von Däniken (Author, Chariots of the Gods?) |
Are recent breakthroughs in medicine really the result of years of research? Or does the knowledge of healing really come from an otherworldly source?
|
“It would seem to be that this is medical knowledge that’s coming from some advanced civilization of extraterrestrials.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? Did Ancient Aliens really help to shape our history? And if so, do stories of advanced medical procedures in the distant past provide further proof of mankind’s extraterrestrial origins?
