Similar chimerical bird-man depictions are also found in Mesopotamia:

It would thus appear then that in addition to a world-wide
grid
phenomenon that we are also confronted with the global extent of more or less the same religious and mythological images accompanying it.
2. The Mystery of Mohenjo Daro
Nowhere is this better in evidence than in the suggestive ruins of Mohenjo Daro in India. We have already encountered the local legends of Viracocha suddenly destroying the civilization of Tiahuanaco by “deadly rays,” with “lightning.” Make Make, Easter Island’s chief “sky god” similarly wields lightning, and its Rongo Rongo script connects it directly to the Indus Valley Civilization.
The ruins of Mohenjo Daro are gruesome testimony that such a deliberate act of mass destruction by some sort of technologically advanced means may have actually once happened, for at Mohenjo Daro one finds a city and citadel designed with modern plumbing, sewers, and an intricacy of planning and sophistication that boggle the imagination, as a glance at its street plan will demonstrate:

However, the most peculiar thing about the ruins of the city is the fact that, lying strewn about its molten, vitrified ruins are several human skeletons laying in the streets, some even holding hands, as if caught in some sudden catastrophe while going about their daily business:
The Skeletons of Mohenjo Daro
Archaeologists investigating the area discovered a layer of radioactive ash near the region in Rajastan, India, covering an area of three square miles. So high were the levels of radiation that the Indian government cordoned the region off.
82
Digging further they discovered evidence of an atomic blast that occurred between 8,000 and 12,000 years ago.
83
One of the skeletons of Mohenjo Daro was discovered to have a level of radioactivity some “50 times greater than it should have been due to natural radiation.”
84
Vicacocha’s “deadly rays,” indeed!
Surveying this gruesome scene, one is reminded of the chilling words in the Indian epics, the
Mahabharata
and
Ramayana
, depicting an ancient “war of the gods”:
Gurkha, flying in a swift and powerful vimana,
Hurled a single projectile,
Charged with all the power of the universe,
An incandescent column of smoke and flame,
As bright as ten thousand suns,
Rose with all its splendour.
It was an unknown weapon,
An iron thunderbolt,
A gigantic messenger of death,
Which reduced to ashes
The entire race of the Vrishnis and the Andhakas.
The corpses were so burned
As to be unrecognizable.
Hair and nails fell out;
Pottery broke without apparent cause,
And the birds turned white…
85
(It was a weapon) so powerful
That it could destroy the earth in an instant —
A great soaring sound in smoke and flames —
And on it sits death…
86
Dense arrows of flame,
Like a great shower,
Issued forth upon creation,
Encompassing the enemy….
A thick gloom swiftly settled upon the Pandava hosts.
All the points of the compass
were lost in darkness.
Fierce winds began to blow.
Clouds roared upward
Showering dust and gravel
…
The earth shook,
Scorched by the terrible violent heat of this weapon.
…
From all points of the compass
The arrows of flame rained continuously and fiercely.
87
In my book
The Giza Death Star
I noted that these texts “are more than suggestive of the effects and results of the use of nuclear weapons,” including the loss of hair and teeth
88
and the reduction of glass and pottery to a fragile brittleness due to exposure to high neutron and gamma radiation.
But I also suggested that a closer examination of certain details of these texts hinted at some
other
kind of weapon, one that could indeed “hurl lightning” in a concentrated bolt of plasma, rather like squeezing the blast effects of a hydrogen bomb through a pipe, the “most significant” of those “suggestive phrases” being those which
clearly stated that one was dealing “not with many nuclear bombs,” but with “
one single weapon
.”
89
Additionally, other phrases suggested something
other
than nuclear or thermonuclear weapons:
1) “all the power of the universe” suggested a weapon somehow reliant upon the energy of space-time itself;
2) “the earth shook” suggests — if one take the phrase in the sense that “earth” means the entire planet, and not simply “land” — suggests that the entire planet’s energy was utilized or affected;
3) “arrows of flame” that radiate “from all points of the compass” suggest, again, a radiant energy converging on a target by means of electromagnetic interferometry.
90
I concluded that the Hindu epics, in addition to plausible descriptions of nuclear weaponry in the conventional sense, were also describing a weapon based upon the ability to manipulate the physical medium itself.

We now have an odd constellation of facts indicating a relationship between whatever high civilization was behind the ruins of Puma Punkhu, Easter Island, and the Indus valley, among which are mythological parallels between Viracocha and the gods of the rest of the world, the similarity of construction methods between Easter Island and Tiahuanaci and Puma Punkhu on the one hand, and the Rongo Rongo script connecting it to the Indus Valley on the other.
To this high strangeness we may now add yet a further piece of evidence that suggests a common civilization of in high antiquity, dispersed, for whatever reason, across the globe, and that is liguistics. Witkowski points out that his countryman, Professor Benon Szalek, made a comparison of the common word roots of Basque, Hungarian, and…Japanese! From this he concluded that “these peoples must have been subjected to the influence of some single state organism — or that they were once part of it.”
92
Or perhaps we
are in the presence of the influence of a hidden elite or elites with a common cultural origin?
Howsoever one answers that question, Prof. Szalek’s linguistic investigations revealed something else, namely, that whatever connections as once existed between these groups was broken ca. 7000 BC.
93
In other words, if there was to be any “Tower of Babel Moment” in human history, it most likely occurred
prior to
7000 BC.
By now one will have noticed a peculiar thing: all the dates with which we have been concerned point to something
pre-existing
the ancient high civilizations of Sumer, Egypt, and the Indus Valley, and over and over again there is the fixation upon the date of 10,500 BC,
within which
the atomic layer of ash in India fits. Even the linguistic evidence suggests that “something catastrophic” happened to put an end to whatever civilization as may have existed in this time frame. But there can be no doubt that
something
existed, and that it was something of great technological sophistication, for the ruins of Puma Punkhu clearly suggest it.
