As a part of my father's legacy to me, (along with a tendency towards non-conformism and a piano bench full of sheet music) there were several boxes of paperback books putting forth various aspects of the alternate history of humanity, all heavily annotated with marginal notes he had added. Alongside the predictable "popular" offerings by Von Daniken and Velikovski (Chariots of the Gods, Worlds in Collision) there were several lesser-known authors with formidable credentials, whose theories carried quite a bit of weight as a result of their extensive research. It was this collection of writings which apparently had led him to formulate his own theories on "How We Got Here" and inspired him to begin writing this unfinished book.
WE ARE THE MARTIANS!
By Keith Jarvis D.C.
The book will be told from the point of view of a Know-it-all Martian Historian. Some of his statements will be what I consider to be "facts" from other authors; and some will be projections to a logical conclusion. Pieces of information came my way over a thirty year period. Gradually the shadow of a story began to appear.For the next ten years I searched for factual information to support my theory. It came from the Old Testament, Immanuel Velikovsky (Earth in Upheaval), Erich Van Daniken (Chariots of the Gods) and Josef Bloomrich (Spaceships of Ezekial) and many more who have left vivid insights in my mind.
I am only presenting a skeleton of an idea that will hopefully get some specialists to look in this direction and perhaps fit a few more pieces into this jig-saw puzzle, to put a body on this skeleton.
As a distant descendant of the Martian Colonists of this earth, I feel I have some insight into these historical events. I am not claiming some unique privilege for myself, for you are of their lineage as well. In fact all of us "human beings" are, along with all other mammals and the coniferous trees. The idea will not rank very highly on the credulity scale, compared with Evolution or Creationism; but it does fill some of the gaps in both theories. It could be a compromise solution for these two sides of the debate; but personally I expect to be crucified by both.
The essence of my interpretation of the old testament is the ancient meaning of the words "Cloud" and "Glory of the Lord" as found in the book of Ezekiel Chapter 1 verse 4 : "...behold a strong wind came out of the north, and a great cloud with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire as it were gleaming bronze" and 1 -28 :"Such was the appearance of the likeness of the "Glory of the Lord" and when I saw it I fell upon my face and I heard the voice of one that spoke."
Ezekiel had undoubtedly heard of "clouds" just as we have heard of "Flying Saucers" and he would have had to describe them in terms of reference to the likeness of things he knew. (see Spaceships of Ezekiel - by Josef F. Bloomrich) Apart from those like Ezekiel and others in their time, (Uriel for instance) we in this century are the first to know that it is possible to fly and to witness actual travel through space. After the last of these sightings of "clouds" shortly after the time of Jesus, these descriptions cease to have been recorded; but sightings may well have continued, only to be dismissed or debunked.

And this is where my father's introduction to an unwritten book ends. I remember a few conversations we had over the years, when he expounded further on his theories of ancient astronauts and the origin of humankind on Mars. Much has been written on the subject since this time and his speculations no longer seem as contraversial as they once did. I recommend the curious reader to seek out the works of Zecharia Stichin and Graham Hancock.
