			"In the fields of 
			archaeology, geology, and astronomy the last few years have brought 
			a vast array of facts to corroborate the claims that there were 
			physical upheavals of a global character in historical times; that 
			these catastrophes were caused by extraterrestrial agents; and that 
			the nature of these agents may be identified. The memory of the 
			cataclysms was erased, not because of lack of written traditions, 
			but because of some characteristic process that later caused entire 
			nations, together with their literate men, to read into these 
			traditions allegories or metaphors where actually cosmic 
			disturbances were clearly described."
