Chapter Four: David and the Visitors Moses is now dead and it is Joshua‘s task to conquer Canaan. It seems like a most hopeless mission. The country is dotted with strongly fortified towns and the people,experienced warriors all, greatly outnumber the Israelites.

The downside to Williamson’s works is his acceptance of Adamson’s proofs that he had been visited by Venusians and that most of ancient history’s leading figures were related by reincarnation. Soviet space probes in the 1970s showed Venus to be most unhospitable to life, with average surface temperatures that would melt lead. And the mystical side of Williamson’s work was absurd and totally unproveable. Nonetheless,Adamson and Williamson […] Read More
