In the Greek tradition, Hesiode described the four ages of man, these mankinds declining from golden age to iron age. The shivaite tradition from antique India took up the same four ages' serie, but on a much larger scale.

Treta Yuga

The civilization of Treta Yuga or Silver Age lasted 16,000 years.See The Golden Age We can say it was lost in the mists of time! It happened before the main flood,See The Flood the enormous worldwide wave.See La Vague Where did these definitive wave come from? Here is a possible scenario. As a result of a meteorite collision or any similar space phenomenon, the Earth toppled over itself. Under the shock's violence, enormous seisms destroyed the continents, causing huge tsunamis. (source)Immanuel Velikowsky, Worlds In Collision

Despite the effect of tsunamis, seisms and centuries, a few signs of the Silver Age still remain, according to Andrew Collins:In his book "Gateway to Atlantis" the most famous are the pyramids of Gizeh, the Osireion temple and Denderah's temple in Egypt; the Baal's Temple of Baalbeck in Lebanon; the pyramids of Yucatan and those around Vera Cruz in Mexico; Cuzco, Machu-Picchu and others mountaintop cities in Bolivia and Peru; megaliths of Andalusia in Spain, of Brittany in France,See Broceliande of WiltshireSee  La centrale d'Avebury in the UK.

Hazardous Datation

There also are giant walls of the five continents: ruins at Mycenes and in Crete; the Easter Island's statues, the Costa Rica's stone balls and the Olmec's giant heads; the engulfed remains of Mu, in Yonaguni, Japan; the lemurian ruins in Maldives, those of Rama's Empire in Indus Valley, and so many still undiscovered sites. These walls are built with such huge stones that we could hardly move them with our modern cranes. Among these unnamed people, some may come from this golden age before the Flood.

It started sixty milleniums ago, according to Danielou. Or 150 milleniums ago, according to Edgar Cayce. Dates!See René Descartes But some people disagree, like archeologists. For most of them, no ruin can be dated previously to the fifth millenium A.D. And to some of them, it is already much too early! In this field, things have changed a lot in fifty years. Reading anthropology essays of the 50s, we can see the complete datation system was much more ancient at the time. Some of the western dates were almost approaching eastern ones.

Powers Of Spirit

Anyway, archeologists should read these old essays. They were not that stupid.In 2060, will anyone still read the present archeologists' essays? Can we deny all the former civilizations, regardless to artifacts, ruins and legends? Can we ignore these very ancient ancestors, with their unmatched science, and their almost divine spiritual power? For all of them, the absolute priority was not matter, but spirit. Instead of working in the material field, every civilization before the Flood cultivated the powers of spirit.See Les pouvoirs de l'esprit

Maybe the highly civilized godsSee Our Creators from the Golden Age's civilization gave to manking a great part of their amazing knowledge and of their terrifying control of spirit?  To them, matter did not matter.Ooops! Sorry. Please see Devenir des dieux Buddhism and yoga are pale remains of their fabulous powers. Their inheritants, the half-gods or devas from the Silver Age, are described as giants in numerous traditions. Yet, the Râmâyana and the Mahabharata books insisted on the fact that they also could get a normal human form.Hesiode told the same thing about half-gods of greek mythology. See below

When they had their divine form, they had dozens, hundreds of arms. This expresses their ubiquity and their ability to act instantly, on many things at the same time. 

Their glorious head disappeared in the clouds, whereas the muscles of their gigantic body allowed them to achieve unbelievable miracles.

The Descent Of Superman

We cannot see fairy tales in that, since hundreds of traditions tell the same story.See God's Legacy We cannot treat all our ancestors as lunatics or mythomaniacs. In the greek mythology, Zeus himself liked to get animal forms, to mate with women and nymphets. His numerous illegitimate children would have been sufficient to populate Earth again, after the gigantic firesSee Cosmic Sparkle that extermined the whole mankind. Access to giantnessLisez L'empreinte des géants or to animal formsSee Animal, on est mal is not only a god's privilege; Herakles and Achille, Krishna and Arjuna did the same.

Mythologies' heroes, devas and half-gods were able to change their form and their size whenever they wanted.

Stronger than Superman, men from the Silver Age eagerly used many disappeared powers of spirit:See page thought transfer, teleportation, ubiquity, transformism and so on. These powers gradually disappeared as the reign of reason and logic killed the world's mystery. We still can access someSee Nos pouvoirs perdus of these powers. At least if we are ready to go through the Lightning gate.See page Because this precious element for Silver Age's men, Lightning, the fire from the gods,Remember our father Prometheus has stolen Zeus' fire to give it to mankind. is chiefly an awakening tool,See Sous le feu du ciel a tool that half-gods were eager to use...
