My sincere thanks to above all Zecharia Sitchin and Immanuel Velikovsky, giants among men. Without their brilliant re-ordering of ancient history, this book could not have been written.

Additional thanks to Jim Garrison, Mark Lane, Robert D. Morrow, David Lifton, Dick Russell, Peter Dale Scott, Vincent Salandria, Gaeton Fonzi, Walt Brown, Philip H. Melanson, Charles A. Crenshaw, Madeleine Duncan Brown, William F. Pepper, Oliver Stone and Jean Hill, also to Philip Agee, Barbara Honegger, Sam and Chuck Giancana, Victor Ostrovsky, Cathy O’Brien and Mark Philips.

In the meta-physical department I bow my head to Nancy Lieder, Lyssa Royal, Edgar Cayce, Chet B.Snow, Lyara, Bob Frissell, Shirley Maclaine, Barbara Hand Clow, Jane Roberts, Chris Morton, Ceri Louise Thomas, Dannion Brinkley, Dr. Bruce Goldberg, Raymond A. Moody, and Moshe Zwang.
