Technology of the Gods; The incredible sciences of the Ancients by David Hathcher Childress

Audiobook read by Paul Woodson

Non fiction Genre

Close to ten hours of listening time but to understand the amount of information given may take time

In the beginning itself the author states that many of the ‘claims’ have to be considered with an open mind!

He states that technology is really amazing since we do not know what actually happened!

He also states that the history is always written by the winner!

So skeptics and those who questions even their own mirror image are sincerely advised to skip this book!

One of the first things to discuss was the fact about drainage and sanitation!
The author give so many examples of the fact all over the world! How closed drainage and freshwater (though available in most places only for the upper echelons of the society) were available in many houses and places! How Romans had amazing drainage systems! How hygiene was of prime importance and thus maintained in ancient India!

The two chief civilizations which has been praised for their knowledge and may be even magic and technological prowess beyond imagination is Indian and Egyptian!

One of the widely speculated and interesting work is on the mysteries of the Sphinx and the Pyramids! With so many speculations and theories you can very well know that no one knows what and how they were made! No one can even say confirmatively on what what the function of these structures!

The wild theories are then not limited by imagination!

Then the author almost eulogises the great works of India namely the Mahabharata and Ramayana (of course he gets most of the pronounciation and stories wrong!). He also tells about the surgical techniques as enumerated in Sushruta Samhita and of the secrets and designs of an advanced flying machine in Vimana Shasthra!

Not to forget the description of the weapons of mass destruction in vivid detail! In fact one of the description was eerily close to the description of the nuclear bomb of the modern time!

Even if you think of the description of the flying crafts mentioned in these books as simple flights of fantasy, the technical description will certainly shock you and how!

Then you have the Mercury vortex! This is like the power system of the ancient times and the author gives a lot of examples of their use!

He also gives examples of previous nuclear explosion like the glass sheets which could have happened only if the sand had melted in very high temperature like maybe during a nuclear explosion!

In many places it has also been suggested that the Earth is like a power source and many structures are like power stations!

A whole section about the Pyramids including many theories on their structure and functions including and not limited to alien technology!

Of course you need a very high level of openness to even start accepting even the most basic explanation!


There signs of an highly developed civilization called the atlantis all over the world which is by the megalithic structures and many cities found underwater. Here the author also mentions how the kingdom of Ram in India was also a well developed one! He states how the developed world of today is simply a redeveloped world!

There have been evidences of modern and primitive people or civilizations living together and it is likely that we were the primitive civilization of the past who have simply reached the development already attained by a previous civilization ages ago! The evidences of their glorious past are either indirect or it is possible that the advanced weaponry developed by them finally lead to their destruction! He also mentions how we are also going in the same path!

He also tells the story of osiris and how his ‘pieces’ are buried in different places of importance in relation to technology for instance.

A section about metallurgy states the fact that separation of metals is a complex and advanced science which has been around for ages and there have been evidences of this all over the world! This includes the separation of iron and other metals.

But the most interesting this is the separation of aluminium since that separation from the ore Bauxite needs electrolysis! Which of course needs electricity! So if aluminium is found in ancient times then it may point towards the fact that the ancient people had access to electricity in one way or the other?

Then he mentions about the mercury vortex engine and the separation and uses of mercury linking it to even the modern use which was pretty interesting to say the least!

Then another chapter on ancient electricity! Yes!  2000 years old electrical battery! 

Then a chapter on ancient flight and aerial warfare! Here you have ancient rockets and aircrafts!

Then you have accounts of ancient atomic warfares all over the world not to leave out Ramayana and Mahabharata! Imagine that the fused green glass was found which could only be formed by such great explosions!

Of course a large section has been dedicated to the mystery of Egypt like the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Since no one knows who, why and how they were built; the speculations are so many and many of them are really creative!

In one section he tells about this old chamber where there was a specific frequency which was the resonant frequency all over and in fact even in Indian history this frequency is deemed important further supporting the notion as power stations of the Earth! A 438! Sounds very mysterious and historical indeed!

All in all you must have a open and imaginative mind to even begin to read or listen to this one!

A thrilling ride nevertheless!
