In my view, 6000 years ago the peoples of India either were far more advanced than NASA and then somehow mysteriously forgot — or the Mahabharata is the history of and evidence for an off-world civilization that did colonize this planet. In 1988, Lana Corrine Cantrell, a brilliant mysterious, somewhat eccentric woman wrote “The Greatest Story Never Told“, a book that combined multiple ancient culture histories turned-into-myth as one story – the story of our ancient off-world ancestors. I first read Cantrell’s ‘The Greatest Story Never Told’ in 1989, but in those days I had not yet read the great Sanskrit epic, The Mahabharata. Nevertheless I had studied Zecharia Sitchin’s work and I was deeply impressed with the kernel import of Cantrell’s eclectic research. As anyone who reads her amazing research will agree, Cantrell’s findings are often perplexing, confused, unscholarly, and down right bewildering. One wonders how she managed to put both honey and monkey wrenches in her soup! Over the years, I would put her aside; but I’ve often wondered how many researchers have been silently influenced by her, as I was. Say what you like about this book, but whatever is said, whatever criticisms are thrown at her dazzling, ingenious, maverick assumptions, Lana Corrine Cantrell cannot be dismissed or easily forgotten. Somehow in spite of all her strange, oblique, ‘What…?’ correlations she has left an imprint on the collective psyche. Obviously many felt that the lady Cantrell was truly on to something. This is an article I thought of writing many times, and many times neglected. When I read ‘The Mahabharata’ or the wild marvel tales in the Puranas, I often recalled Cantrell’s off-world vision. My own visions of the colonization of planet Earth, which I wrote about in my book “Inanna Returns“, continue to influence my reading of the Sanskrit texts. More recently as I began to understand the complex reasons behind the confused translations of the Rig Veda, I again thought of this lady. So I will share my reflections with you in honour of her early research — because we do want the truth. Perhaps this will inspire some of you. - See more at: wakingtimes/2013/10/05/the-ancient-disc-of-life/#sthash.7dsbUnOL.dpuf
