SPACE GODS OF ANTIQUITY- AND THE FALL OF MAN
     
    The greatest writers of antiquity agree that once there was a wonderful Golden Age on an earth ruled by gods' But it was destroyed by wars and cataclysm when Man degenerated through the Silver and Bronze Ages to our own Iron Age, Research into the classics reveals how the deities of Greece helped the valiant city of Athens defeat the invading armies of Atlantis in 10,000 BC. They inspired the Greeks and Trojans to fight for the beauteous Helen, surely a space queen.

For ten savage years the planet bad suffered assault from the skies waged with terrible nuclear weapons, mountain piled on mountain, continents quivered and crumbled to the ocean depths. Earth quaked in devastation, the fair lands of the West lay desolate. Invaders from the stars had overthrown the glorious civilisation of the Sun aided by treacherous wizards from their workshops underground. Earth's last defender stood at bay in the lofty Caucasus defying attacks from the skies, the hope of the world.

The Giant's eyes sorrowed as he saw the once-proud Empire die in defeat; the towers of Atlantis toppled to the sea, the Pacific fleet burned in the harbour of Tiahuanaco ; in Italy the Imperial capital smoked in ruins, its aged Emperor imprisoned on the island of Britain .
