Rumours from Berlin that translations of texts copied from the 'mythical' nine books have come to light and were hidden there before the end of WW2 after being brought back from Tibet.

In the myth, which some are now speculating might actually be based in fact, the books were as follows:

Quote:

Traditionally, the books are said to cover the following subjects:

1. Propaganda and Psychological warfare.
2. Physiology, including instructions on how to perform the "touch of death." One account has Judo being a product of material leaked from this book.
3. Microbiology, and, according to more recent speculation, Biotechnology. In some versions of the myth, the waters of the Ganges are purified with special microbes designed by the Nine and released into the river at a secret base in the Himalayas.
4. Alchemy, including the transmutation of metals. In India, there is a persistent rumor that during times of drought or other natural disasters temples and religious organizations receive large quantities of gold from an unknown source.
5. Communication, including intercourse with extraterrestrials.
6. Gravitation. Book 6 is said to contain the instructions necessary to build a Vimana, sometimes referred to as the "ancient UFOs of India."
7. Cosmology
8. Light
9. Sociology, including rules concerning the evolution of societies and how to predict their downfall

Isn't that the plot for the next Indiana Jones film? Except the books are in Moscow, having been stolen from Berlin in 1945?

Herm, well I hope this isn't a wind up as it got me rather interested. I have a friend in Berlin she is a opera singer and lives near the Egyptian museum very near where these translations were found. She told me this morning on the telephone that there was quite a commotion caused by there discovery.

They were apparently found in the walls of several apartments being renovated. Now they've been sent for comparison against other ancient texts.

I would have thought though that since these were only translations that were found and already in German language they wouldn't take to long to work out wether they were genuine.

Hey! It makes as much sense as any of the other religions.

Are the aliens supposed to be friendly? I might get into this one, where do they want me to send the cheque?

If anyone hears anything else about this please post, as I am having trouble getting more details.
I have found out so they are still pulling these translations out apartment walls, but other than that I've hiy a dead end.

I've tried the university in berlin and contacting professor Huber directly but nobody will tell me anything.

It seems that our betinfoiled friend is uncommonly useless at using google because this is basically a seriously ancient urban myth:

On 25-8-1952 the Mysore representative of the Press Trust of India, Sri N. N Sastry, sent up the following report which was published in all the leading dailies of India, and was taken up by Reuter and other World Press News Services:Mr. G. R. Josyer, Director of the International Academy of Sanskrit Research in Mysore, in the course of an interview recently, showed some very ancient manuscripts which the Academy had collected. He claimed that the manuscripts were several thousands of years old,compiled by ancient rishis, Bharadwaja, Narada and others, dealing, not with the mysticism of ancient Hindu philosophy of Atman or Brahman, but with more mundane things vital for the existence of man and progress of nations both in times of peace and war

Mr. Josyer's manuscripts dealt in elaborate detail about food processing from various indigenous materials like grass, vegetables and leaves for human consumption, particularly during times of famine.

One manuscript dealt with Aeronautics, construction of various types of aircraft for civil aviation and for warfare. He showed me plans prepared according to directions contained in the manuscript on Aeronautics of three types of aircraft or Vimanas, namely, Rukma, Sundara and Shakuna Vimanas.

Five hundred slokas or stanzas dealing with these go into such intricate details about choice and preparation of metals that would be suitable for various parts of vimanas of different types, constructional details, dimensions,designs and weight they could carry, and purposes they could be used ...usw...

Thx for the info, you seem far more knowlegdeable than I, but then I've only been looking for infor on these translations for the last couple of days.
I've managed to find out that pr-war the Germans did have strong connections with tibet and that it is likely that most of the texts that managed to recover were brought back from Tibet rather than India.

What interests me the most is wether these supposed 9 books written from the collected wisdom of the ancient Rama empire actually ever existed or were just that a myth.

It does seem though that regardless of wether the books were real or not that the Germans were very interested in the idea that knowlegde of an ancient advanced civilisation could be found in tibet.

I've also managed to find out that some of the information from texts recovered from ancient texts from India is now being incorperated in the Chinese space program. This has led to the Indian government taking a greater interest the contents of these ancient texts.

Also that there are many clues that exist that all point to the possibility that at least two advanced civilisations existed 15,000 years ago.

Also I have come accross several rumours suggesting that the German V2 rocket program was entirelty based on ancient knowledge. This is backed up by evidence that during the 40's rocket technology had nothing in common with the aeroplane technology of the time.

Also of interest was that none of the advanced technology the germans possessed e.i. their 'wonder weapons' program until after the Tibetan experditions.

For now I'm going to continue seeing what I can dig up on the subject, and possibly plan a trip to Berlin to see if I can get a look for myself.

If you want to know what the Germans were doing in Tibet, they were looking for a place called Shambhala, only they were looking in the wrong place and they had no chance of getting in there even if they had found it. Wink

That makes sense only if you're unaware of the years of experimentation by von Braun and others such as the American Goddard going back to the early years of the 20th century. The V2 didn't spring from nowhere, it was the result of decades of experiments and development.

There is a prophecy that when the world returns to barbarism, the populations of the planet take up arms against each other but they all have much in common inasmuch as their tactics are wanton death and destruction and the balance of life on Earth is in danger, the kingdom of Shambhala will return. It is nice to think, if only. Still, we can live in hope. Wink
