He researched ligament information. I guess you could say there are grey areas.
White powder gold pops up in other works. Aleister Crowley called it occultum. It was said to have been in the Ark of the Covenant. Raiders of the Lost Ark depicted it as a powder or sand. There was a substance called Zro or manna from heaven the Atlanteans produced that could allow the user to fly and manifest objects. Their civilization revolved around it. The material was referred to as a prototype matter. In the Transylvanian Sunrise series Radu Cinamar (pen name) wrote about a particular type of white powder gold being in an amphora in a 50,000 year old time capsule under the Bucegi Mountains in Romania.
The book cover shows a blue skinned being (occultum turns the skin blue) laying on the Ark of the Covenant and cherub energy coming out of it. In the background there's a Nazi submarine and the black sun.

I have a room that is my "library". It has bookshelves on every wall, full of books. I love books. Half of them are science fiction, the rest are an array of many genre's including science, mystery, legends, mythology, UFO's et al, paranormal, and some vairous metaphysical books.One of my spare bedrooms has become a library, a wall full of physical books from the early 1800s to current and hundreds more ebooks on my personal server that can be accessed by any device on my network at home...Not one book is fiction...
He still has his dreamland podcast. Unknowncountry.comWhere is Whitley Strieber these days ?
Just finished reading the first three books in the Michael Vey series by Richard Paul Evans.
I am reading Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson, next.
Interesting. Years ago (1990 I think) I was in the checkout line at Walmart and that book fell into my cart. Someone had turned it backwards so the face wasn't showing. I had wanted to buy the book when it was hardback but did not feel I could justify the expense. I didn't buy the book that time either. I had had some experiences in 1987 and it turns out they were similar to some that were described in that book. I finally did read it after it fell at my feet from the top shelf in a small library. Because of the similar experiences it filled me with fear and I didn't get past the middle before I took it back to the library. I did buy a paperback version later and read the whole thing. Weirdness is something I have experienced a lot and that book was part of one long chain of weirdness for me in the 80's & 90's.There was a particular store that had the book Communion by Whitley Strieber placed in the checkout aisle as a potential impulse buy. It was positioned in such a way that you couldn't miss it as you turned down the aisle and it was nearly at eyelevel. I strongly suspect they track people that purchase or look at it for an extended period to identify abductees.
No, I haven't read that. The pyramids were washed way in the 1938 hurricane. I'm now reading The Montauk Book of the Dead which is about Peter Moon's eleven years in Scientology. He lived aboard L. Ron Hubbard's flag ship the Apollo.@Toroid Have you read The Music of Time by Preston B. Nichols? That book had me laughing so hard in parts. He is quite entertaining. I had not looked for any of his other books. Thanks for recommending the Pyramids of Montauk.
In David M. Jacobs book Walking Among Us or The Threat he wrote that the greys will do a mind scan with their abductees. This requires them to look into their eyes which will access and manipulate organs of the body. He wrote it's more intrusive that the semen or egg extraction. Viewing the cover of Communion may awaken suppressed memories. I wonder what force made that book fall. Maybe a ghost or your higher self.Interesting.

I doubt that they track people who buy or read that book.
I picked up a paperback 'Communion' at a used book store for only a few dollars.Interesting. Years ago (1990 I think) I was in the checkout line at Walmart and that book fell into my cart.

Maybe, my higher self telling me to look at my hidden fears.In David M. Jacobs book Walking Among Us or The Threat he wrote that the greys will do a mind scan with their abductees.

Are these books history or fiction?
Winner of the August Derleth award and the Arthur C. Clarke Award, Perdido Street Station is an imaginative fantasy thriller, and the first of China Miéville's novels set in the world of Bas-Lag.
The novel's publication met with a burst of extravagant praise from Big Name Authors and was almost instantly a multiaward finalist. You expect hyperbole in blurbs; and sometimes unworthy books win awards, so nominations don't necessarily mean much. But Perdido Street Station deserves the acclaim. It's ambitious and brilliant and--rarity of rarities--sui generis. Its clearest influences are Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy and M. John Harrison's Viriconium books, but it isn't much like them. It's Dickensian in scope, but fast-paced and modern. It's a love song for cities, and it packs a world into its strange, sprawling, steam-punky city of New Crobuzon. It can be read with equal validity as fantasy, science fiction, horror, or slipstream. It's got love, loss, crime, sex, riots, mad scientists, drugs, art, corruption, demons, dreams, obsession, magic, aliens, subversion, torture, dirigibles, romantic outlaws, artificial intelligence, and dangerous cults.
Generous, gaudy, grand, grotesque, gigantic, grim, grimy, and glorious, Perdito Street Station is a bloody fascinating book.
Read post #6. The video with Dan was interesting.
At 15:00 into the video they were talking about John Mack. He was killed by a drunk driver in London. According to Dan three other men named John Mack died the same day in England. That's like a Sarah Connor scenario.
John E. Mack - Wikipedia
edit]
On Monday, September 27, 2004 while in London to lecture at a T. E. Lawrence Society-sponsored conference, Mack was killed by a drunken driver heading west on Totteridge Lane.[23] He was walking home alone, after a dinner with friends, when he was struck at 11:25 p.m. near the junction of Totteridge Lane and Longland Drive. He lost consciousness at the scene of the accident and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. The driver, Raymond Czechowski, an IT manager, was arrested at the scene, and later entered a plea of guilty by careless driving while under the influence of alcohol. Mack's family requested leniency for the suspect Czechowski in a letter to the Wood Green Crown Court. "Although this was a tragic event for our family," the letter reads, "we feel [the accused's] behavior was neither malicious nor intentional, and we have no ill will toward him since we learned of the circumstances of the collision." The driver, Ray Czechowski served 6 months and was disqualified from driving for 3 years.[24]
