    Vangard Notes >>>

    We of Vangard Sciences highly recommend that everyone read
    David Fasolds' book "THE ARK OF NOAH." I know that some of you
    are going to wonder why should they should take the time to
    read about Noah and the Ark of Man.

    In Mr. Fasolds' book he covers many things that have happened
    in the past that can be related to our present as well as our
    future.

    Jerry Decker and I - Ronald Barker have had the pleasure of
    meeting Mr. Fasold on several occasions, and found that he
    tells you all the true facts and leaves out the BS, just as he
    does in his book. He gives you the information to back up what
    he says.

    Mr. Fasolds' discovery of the ARK of Noah has been verified by
    some of the top scientists in the field. Mr. Ron Wyatt from
    Madison, Tennessee one of the top scientists in the country on
    sub-surface radar research, Dr. John Baumgardner from Los
    Alamos research center, Mr. Vendyl Jones (A.K.A. Indiana
    Jones)., and many others who we will not list.

    David makes no claims as to actually discovering the Ark. He
    rediscovered it after many other researchers had pronounced the
    site as not the remains of a ship, but a geological formation.

    The true discoverer of the Ark is a Turkish farmer named Reshit
    Sarihan. An earthquake occurred in 1948 which shifted the
    ground where the Ark had rested all these centuries.

    At that time, not much notice was taken of the exposed shape
    until a military photo reconaissance overflight took pictures
    which showed the shape of a very large ship.

    However, David did make the contacts and do the quite
    incredible amount of research necessary to locate and verify
    his site as the TRUE ARK of NOAH.

    He has spent over $100,000 of his own money and in excess of 6
    years on the ARK project. We consider ourselves extremely
    fortunate to have been allowed to meet such a fascinating and
    capable researcher as David Fasold. His work is currently
    unappreciated and not even suspected by the masses.

    It seems orthodox Christianity MUST FIND THE ARK ON THE MOUNT
    OF ARARAT TO VERIFY THEIR FAITH. In truth, the translations in
    the Bible have been so in error that many people searching for
    these wonderful historical treasures have been led astray.

    The primary problem has been their failure to consult other
    ancient texts concurrent with the event. Corruption of records
    takes on an almost logarthmic certainty as time passes.

    Each ruler wants history to begin with him or to alter past
    history to his views.

    This is one of the things we most admired about David, his
    tenacity and his wide ranging research efforts. He consulted
    dozens of texts including the Torah, the Koran, the Epic of
    Gilgamesh and many others to piece together the true location.

    If you ever get a chance to hear him speak or to meet or speak
    with him, DON'T PASS IT UP! He will hypnotize and enthrall you
    with his anecdotes and the recounting of his discovery of the
    ARK.

    I - Jerry Decker, had the privilege of attending the 1989
    International Geophysical Symposium as a guest of Vendyl Jones
    and David Fasold.

    Both gave presentations which simply mesmerized these Engineers
    and Scientists from all over the world. It was truly amazing
    to see how these people clustered around both David and Vendyl
    to ask questions about their researches.

    Another thing that David has noted which we all find very
    interesting is that the day of the earthquake in 1948 is the
    same date that Israel became a nation, just as in Biblical
    prophecy!

    The following story is taken from David Fasolds' book "THE ARK
    OF NOAH", published in 1988 by Wynwood Press of New York.

    The ISBN number is 0-922066-10-8 and it can be ordered from
    most book suppliers such as Taylors or Waldenbooks. David
    tells us it is soon to come out in paperback.

    The hardback version sells for $18.95.

    BUY IT, you will not regret the purchase!


    To give you an idea of what is in his book we include the
    Preface written by David Fasold, the introduction written by
    Charles Berlitz and Chapter 2 pages 52 to 56 title HOMO
    IGNORAMUS.

    The chapter points out that in pre-flood times, the calendars
    registered 360 days per year. After the flood the calendars
    changed to 365 days a year.




    Page 2

    David found an interesting Egyptian myth which tells the story
    of how the Moon was coerced into sharing some of its light. In
    fact, it had to do with a slowing down of the Earth's rotation
    which, since it is a giant armature, necessarily reduced the
    magnetic field.

    Zecharia Sitchin's excellent books also give many translations
    relating to events in pre-dawn times.

    Also why did people live such long life spans as compared with
    people of today. Is it possible that the slowing down of the
    Earth's rotation caused a change in the human body's electric
    field due to the decreased magnetism?

    Is this why the Dinosaurs died out?

    Or could it be that one who had eaten of the "AMOMUM" root (the
    root of Youth) as mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh:

    " Its name is The Old Will Be Made Young. "

    I too will eat it, and I will return to
    What I Was In My Youth."

    ( These are some of the questions into which we of
    Vangard Sciences are interested and looking into.)

    Mr. Fasolds' book can be purchased at any book store or you can
    write to him.

    Brief Review

    THE ARK OF NOAH

    by

    DAVID FASOLD

    --------------------------------------------------------------------


    The Ark of Noah is the story behind one of the greatest
    archaeological finds of the century. Read either as an astonishing
    story of archaeological detection, or as an undeniable confirmation
    of the Old Testament account of Noah's Ark, this book is important
    beyond question.

    David Fasold had become fascinated with the centuries-old
    mystery of Noah's Ark and decided to search for it himself. Heading
    one of the last teams allowed excavation rights in Turkey, he
    deduced the Ark landed not on Mount Ararat, as had been popularly
    thought, but on Mount Mahser Dagi (the Doomsday Mountain) some
    seventeen miles south of the traditional site.

    An outlined structure had been uncovered on Mahser Dagi in a
    1948 earthquake, but geologists had reckoned it to be a natural
    object. David Fasold's translations and interpretations of the
    Sumerian accounts of the Great Flood led him inexorably back to
    Mahser Dagi. He uncovered stone sculptures previously thought to be
    totem or steles dating from the proper period. In fact, these carved
    monoliths were deemed anchors from a seagoing craft - a craft Fasold
    determined to be the Ark of Noah.

    Fasold's team ascended Mahser Dagi and found the remains of a
    boat whose dimensions exactly matched those given in Genesis. To his
    surprise, drilling samples revealed the boat to be made not of wood,
    as was commonly supposed, but of reed and pumice (gopher wood), and
    constructed using techniques historically coincident to Noah's time.
    After the discovery, Fasold's site was sealed off and officially
    declared the landing place of Noah's Ark by the Turkish government.

    Filled with incontrovertible photographs of the actual Ark, as
    well as documents of the material analysis, David Fasold's The Ark
    of Noah is a compelling and controversial addition to the world of
    popular archaeology.

    David Fasold is a former merchant marine officer. Nearly two
    decades as a marine salvage expert provided him with the background
    and knowledge that proved indispensable to his later expeditions.

    "The usual pattern for searches to take place only on Mount
    Ararat has been changed by the exploratory investigations of David
    Fasold."

    The Preface

    by David Fasold

    from his book "The Ark of Noah"

    In an attempt to establish the origin of modern man and the
    seed that has germinated into the flourishing of civilizations, the
    archaeologist has lifted his brush from the sands of time to paint a
    portrait of the ancient Near East splashed with colors of
    enlightenment.

    For his devoted labors in illuminating these areas of
    understanding, we are grateful. But it remains a painting poorly
    executed, for the artists of anthropology have not yet succeeded in
    producing within that balance of shadow and light any expression of
    harmony that allows the viewer to envision from whence he came.

    This painting remains muddled by a modern-day myth that the
    legends burned into the memories of the ancients and impressed onto
    tables of clay were not actual records of an historical event.

    Thus the historians have failed to reclaim from obscurity that
    dark "land of the crossings" from which the settlers have come,
    survivors of an advanced culture that was cleaved by an event of
    such catastrophic proportions as to literally divide history and the
    development of man into a new age.

    This experience of an overwhelming deluge still remains as the
    most solemn and awesome recollection of the human race.

    My portrayal, then is the fertile crescent born anew, a
    rejuvenation of civilization reawakened from a slumber of the dead
    by the descendants of this past age, borne upon the survival ship
    that traversed the eras in a voyage of circumstance and necessity,
    the descendants of Noah and progenitors of modern man.

    In the attempt to retrace our ancestors' footsteps to the door
    of the Ark itself, however attractive such a mission might appear, I
    have failed to interest the Academic community at large in
    participating.

    Understandably, such a proposal raises serious doubts. But when
    an invitation is extended to view the tangible remains of the
    antediluvian vessel high upon the mountains of Urartu, the response
    of science should be investigation pure and simple, not ridicule and
    scorn.

    Perhaps reluctance on their part is the only safe ground, for
    should this prove to be the most controversial artifact ever
    recorded, the legend is exonerated and the biblical Flood is true.

    Even their high towers of "qualifications" will not save them
    from the deluge of error.

    Does the theory that man has come from the lowest depths of
    humanity to his present elevated position have validity? Is it time

    Page 5

    for the history of man to be rewritten, this time with more
    foundation and truth?

    Or is it time to return to the original accounts, and read them
    with the seriousness they deserve?

    For those who have always believed, I claim no discovery and my
    hope that it will be greeted as representing the first confrontation
    with a startling new body of evidence and a sense of what the
    discovery has meant to those explorers who experienced it.

    To those for whom a devotion to truth and understanding bring a
    spark of life... welcome aboard the mother ship of mankind, built to
    bridge two worlds, which rode upon that cataclysm of old and bore us
    to our new beginnings.

    INTRODUCTION to David Fasolds' book

    The Ark of Noah

    by

    Charles Berlitz

    --------------------------------------------------------------------


    Has Noah's Ark finally been found?

    The location of the legendary Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat has
    been reported a number of times in antiquity and the Middle Ages by
    such travelers as Marco Polo and other merchants and pilgrims
    following the caravan trails. It has been reported seen in modern
    times by mountain climbers, shepherds, fugitives, and explorers,
    religious and laic.

    Some climbers claim not only to have seen the Ark but to have
    touched it and even taken wood from the giant hull. Since World War
    I it has sometimes been sighted by aircraft pilots from military or
    private planes. It has been reported on the mountain in World War II
    and in the subsequent Cold War period.

    The problem has long been how to positively identify it,
    inasmuch as climbers or viewers of Mount Ararat may be influenced by
    seeing something where the Ark is supposed to be. Pictures of
    something which might be the Ark have been taken from a space
    capsule at seven hundred miles altitude over the mountain, but the
    shape loses its cohesion when subjected to magnification.

    Other photographs taken from planes seem to have been lost,
    sometimes in mysterious circumstances. Further, photography from the
    air or on the side of the mountain near the Russian border, where
    the Ark is supposed to be frozen most of the time under the ice, is
    presently not only difficult but, like reported photographs from
    high-altitude spy planes such as the U-2, dangerous.

    When one climbs to the upper reaches of Mount Ararat one risks
    being struck by lightning, falling into deep crevasses through thin
    ice over glaciers, blown off the mountain by unexpected winds, hit
    by stone avalanches, attacked by wolves or wild dog packs, or shot
    by bandits or rebels.

    The dedication of the climbers, many of whom feel they are on a
    religious mission, is a definite manifestation of the power of the
    belief that Noah's Ark is waiting to be found on Mount Ararat.

    But the Bible never mentions Ararat specifically, rather "the
    mountains of Ararat," Ararat being a form of the old word form
    Armenia-Urartu.

    The fixation upon Mount Ararat itself is anciently based on
    Saint Jacob's testimony. He said that an angel carried him up the
    mountain to show him the Ark, and then took him down again.

    Page 7

    Explorers and searchers for the Ark must face the element of
    popular disbelief in the very presence of such an artifact on Ararat
    as "How can you find something that dies not exist?"

    The popular legends concerning Noah's Ark, the enormous size of
    the ship allegedly built by Noah and his three sons, the gathering
    in and feeding of the horde of animals that were summoned, two by
    two of each species, and finally, the illogicality of a flood that
    could cover the whole earth, may be based on the memories of a great
    flood but are certainly difficult concepts for the nonbeliever to
    accept.

    But there are startling indications of a catastrophe which
    affected the whole earth ten r eleven thousand years ago. This was
    a combination of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cosmic storms,
    sudden changes in sea level and climate.

    We are now able to ascertain that catastrophic flooding
    occurred in different parts of the earth as large areas of the land
    and water changed places. To many of the earth's inhabitants, the
    world seemed to be drowning in a great flood, from which only a few
    "chosen" people escaped.

    The legend of the Flood and the Ark is older then Greece, older
    then Egypt, older the Babylon and the cultures that preceded it. The
    memory of the Flood, as this world disaster appeared to most of the
    ancient peoples inhabiting the earth at that time, is still
    preserved in national and tribal traditions throughout the world.

    Only the name of each local survivor varied in prehistoric
    northern Europe, East Asia, the American continents, Africa, and the
    Pacific.

    In the ancient Middle East, although the name Noah was
    antedated by other local names, the story is the same. Noah's name,
    common to the great religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam,
    is now the most famous name among the ship captains who survived, as
    is the place of salvation - the mountains of Ararat.

    During the last few years, the search for the Ark of Ararat, on
    the high icy plateau, in crevasses, and even under the ice, has been
    intensified.

    The usual pattern for searches to take place only on Mount
    Ararat has been changed by the exploratory investigations of David
    Fasold, a deep-sea diver and holder of a master's ticket in the
    merchant marine.

    Fasold has dedicated years of his life and considerable
    personal funds to long explorations of the Ararat area, with the
    premise that Noah's Ark has already been found.

    The true Ark, he claims, was photographed from the air in 1959
    after a mud slide uncovered a stone formation closely resembling a
    ship. This stone shape of a ship is not on Ararat but twelve miles
    away on a lower range.

    The dimensions of the ship are almost identical to the biblical
    description of the Ark: approximately 450 feet, 75 feet wide, and 45

    Page 8

    feet high-except for the height-but the stone ship is still rising
    from the enveloping solidified mud.

    Fasold claims the stone form is a real ship, not fossilized but
    made of reeds covered with cement. As we now know, cement was used
    thousands of years before Rome in different parts of the Middle
    East.

    During his year of on-the-spot research, Fasold has ben
    assisted by scientists who include a Los Alamos specialist and a
    radar field technician. They have used the most sensitive radar
    devices that can detect formations and mineral content, not only
    under water but under land, up a depth of forty feet, as well.

    Starting with frequency generators to determine metal
    concentration of spikes inside wooden beams, he traced thirteen bow-
    to-stern interior divisions and nine interior bulkhead-to-bulkhead
    supports.

    A more detailed search with subsurface interface radar revealed
    clear outlines of closed sections, beams and cross beams, collapsed
    decks, iron and other metals used in clamps, and pins at
    approximately eighteen-to twenty-inch intervals.

    The discovery of the inner plan of the stone shape of a
    gigantic ship could not have been ascertained without digging into
    the shape except by using the subsurface radar.

    Here we have an example of advance technology revealing history
    that has not been generally accepted as such, obscured up till now
    by the mists of legend and time.

    The huge drag stones used on ancient ships have been found on a
    plateau several miles away, possibly dropped there when the ship
    started to go aground. The Ark survived because of its cement
    covering and lay under layers of frozen mud until it surfaced in
    1948.

    The discovery of this stone ship and ongoing tests over, and
    soon inside, the vessel have created a world sensation, not only in
    archaeology but also in Middle East politics and the study of the
    world's lost history.

    If this is indeed the Noah's Ark of the Bible, its complete
    appearance and identification may cause many to entertain somber
    reflections.

    Colonel James Irwin, an astronaut who walked on the moon and
    who has long searched for the Ark, has expressed what many
    fundamentalists feel:

    "... the finding of the Ark could very well herald the
    return of the Messiah and the end of the earth."

    If the appearance of the Ark is a warning, one must admit it
    comes at an appropriate moment in world history.

    The Turkish Ministry of Culture has now made the remains the
    focus of a national park, and Turkish archaeologists, hopefully with

    Page 9

    international collaboration, will continue the investigation.
    Meanwhile, a sign indicates the direction to the ship. It says:

    NUH'UN SEMISI
    (Noah's Ark).

    It is an interesting coincidence and historic justice that the
    ancient ship, unrecognized since 1948 by formal archaeologists and
    religious searchers, should finally be identified by a fellow sea
    captain - a professional colleague and ideological descendant of
    Noah.

    Introduction by

    Charles Berlitz

    HOMO IGNORAMUS

    Chapter 2 Pages 52 to 56 From David Fasold's Book

    The Ark of Noah


    There are other inconsistencies in the authorized account that
    are easily explained by this new sequence of events. The crow and
    the dove take on more significant roles and are explained in a later
    chapter.

    Where the olive leaf came from which obviously could not have
    drifted, taken root, and sprouted in only seven days and the purpose
    of the seven-day wait between the sending forth of the dove, the
    period of time between the coming to rest and the ground being dry,
    is also answered by discovery of the drogue anchors.

    But could the idea of an earlier period comprised of a shorter
    year be acceptable?

    Attempting to reconcile the pre-Flood ear and that period of
    time shortly thereafter with our present system of 29 1/2 day lunar
    months and a solar year of 365 1/4 days may not be realistic.

    Immanuel Velikovsky compiled vast material from various
    cultures that concludes there have been occasions of perturbations
    in the vault of the heavens and the earth, during which the moon has
    receded to an orbit of 35 to 36 days' duration.

    The Flood was the result of an event that changed everything!
    Peter relates the ancients' understanding that for the most part,
    the world is turning its back on today regardless of the evidence.

    For this they willingly are ignorant of,
    that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
    and the earth standing out of the water



    Page 10

    and in the water... But the heavens and the
    earth, which are now, by the same word are
    kept in store, reserved unto fire against
    the day of judgment...
    2 Peter 3:5,7 KJV

    Are we willingly ignorant that the old heavens as viewed from
    our planet have passed away with the land that was standing above
    the water of the prediluvian period?

    Portions of that landmass sank beneath the waters and through
    tectonic upheaval little of the old world remains beneath our feet,
    while the heavens that are above us now in this new elliptical orbit
    of 365 1/4 days is reserved for a future time when it, too, will
    change.

    John speaks of this in a foreseen future event when there fell
    great stones out of the heavens preceded by an earthquake "such was
    not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so
    great" that "every island fled away, and the mountains were not
    found" (Revelation 16:18,20 KJV).

    Peter precedes these comments by stating that we should know
    this first, that there shall come in the last days of our present
    system scoffers, saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? for
    since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from
    the beginning of the creation" (2 Peter 3:4 KJV).

    It is here that Immanuel Velikovsky begins to take a rather
    hard look at Homo Ignoramus.

    The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The day
    consists of 23 hours, 56 minutes. The year consists of 365 days, 5
    hours, and 49 minutes. The moon circles the earth's terrestrial axis
    points in the direction of the polar star.

    After winter comes spring, then summer and fall. These are
    common facts, but are they invariable laws? asks Velikovsky.

    What single spectacle impressed itself upon the mind of man
    that evoked the astonishment of the survivors, but a change in the
    order of the universe, and it caused the Flood!

    Today, the willfully ignorant discredit traditions of upheavals
    and catastrophes by the shortsighted belief that no forces could
    have shaped the world we live in that are not now at work.

    In my opinion, this belief, which is the very foundation of
    modern geology, may have been a proud ship at her launching, but it
    is now full of so many holes it doesn't float!

    There is no law of celestial mechanics that says the earth must
    have this particular rate of rotation. The earth's equator is
    inclined to the plane of its elliptic at an angle of 23.45 degrees.

    This causes the change of the seasons during the earth's annual
    revolution around the sun. It is not necessarily a general law that
    a planet must be so, and from my reading of the account in Genesis,
    there had been a change.

    Page 11

    For the theologian, the reason for the Flood and the cause of
    the Flood are two entirely different matters.

    The mechanics of the event may never be fully explained as to
    an outside influence disturbing the earth, which caused the tilt and
    change in orbit, resulting in a total breakup of the crust, or if
    the earth received a direct impact, as the Book of Revelation
    predicts, it will in future form the star Wormwood.

    An immediate change in the atmosphere is noted by Noah at the
    first sighting of a rainbow and his mention of seasons of heat and
    cold.

    In the years thereafter there appeared to be a decreasing of
    longevity, especially in the succeeding generations, and an abrupt
    change during the days of Peleg.

    The oldest account of this phenomenon is recorded by Emperor
    Ho-ang-ti who, according to the chronology of China, was a
    contemporary of Reu.

    In his medical book he proposed an enquiry "whence it happened
    that the lives of our forefathers were so long compared with the
    lives of the present generation."

    All was not peaceful on the earth when Noah stepped out of the
    Ark. The readjustments of tectonic plates caused by the oblation of
    the earth at its new equatorial zones since the axis shift may have
    still been causing havoc during later generations.

    If we are to accept the Masoretic text as accurate, my figures
    would have Peleg living from 101 post-Flood to the year 340, but I
    have doubts as to this early date.

    Nahor, Terah's father, died approximately the same year, so
    there may be indications of another catastrophic event.

    Genesis 10:25 relates that during Peleg's day the earth was
    torn asunder by a violent upheaval. He may have met his death during
    this event.

    Peleg's name is not in itself a proper name. It means "a
    division." There are about thirteen verbs translated "divide," each
    with a different shade of meaning.

    The popular explanation is that the world was divided among the
    various companies of people and that this coincided with the
    dispersal from the Tower of Babel. If this was the meaning, the name
    is derived from palag "to divide by cleavage."

    The Egyptians, too, have recorded this event when the earth's
    crust was rent during Peleg's time as the work of the Lord (Thoth)
    Tehuti pens ta, "cleaver of the earth." During more stable times he
    was remembered as Thoth-Hapi-Tem neb Xut, "Lord of the Horizon."

    This brings to mind Isaiah 24:1 KJV:

    "Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it
    waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad
    the inhabitants thereof."
    Page 12

    Babylonian tablets record actual dates such as "the thirty-
    third day of the month" during that period.

    The abrupt decrease in longevity, according to the Masoretic
    text, can be seen by the graph on the following page.

    In summation of this chapter, I am proposing that the solar
    year prior to the Floor was undergoing a slow change, something that
    is alluded to in the study of the calendar at the Tiahuanaco ruins
    on the Alti Plano in South America, which in my view must now be
    considered the remains of a pre-Flood city.

    I have attempted to show that the solar year of the Flood as
    described in the Genesis account is referring to a year of three
    hundred days.

    In the following chapter about the pre-Flood kings, my proposal
    coincides with the biblical account of the reigns of the Ten
    Patriarchs as listed in the Genesis account before the Flood.

    Could it be possible that the orbit of the earth was disturbed
    by outside influences passing through our solar system, causing a
    change in the earth's orbit around the sun to an elliptic path of a
    longer year?

    Would the axis shift be a result of this disturbance, or would
    the shift itself be the cause of the change?

    If all things have remained the same, what then are we to make
    of the orbiting satellite, whose distance from the earth was 5.9
    terrestrial radii, that made 447 revolutions around the earth in a
    year ancient Americans?

    If the interpretation of these ancient calendars is valid, then
    perhaps we should apply a shorter year to the pre-Flood accounts of
    the Mesopotamians.

    Here is a list showing the decline in longevity from pre-Flood
    patriarchs through the post-Flood generation, finally reaching the
    life expectancy of today.

    The tradition of longevity in ancient man is recorded by the
    following historians:

    Manetho, Berosus, Mochus, Hestiaeus, Hieronymus, Hesiod,

    Hecataeus, Hellanicus, Acusilaus, Ephorus, Nicolaus, and

    Josephus.

    Vangard Notes >>>

    Is it not interesting how the lifespan of Man decreased so
    rapidly after the Flood, from 1000 years down to 70 ??
    It makes us wonder what happened after the Flood to cause
    such a radical change in Mans' metabolism.
    Is it because of the loss of the "Amomum" or "youth"
    root of Noah, or perhaps because of something else
    which occurred to pollute the atmosphere or water of the planet,
    such as the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah with what has
    been suspected of being atomic explosions ??
