Synopsis

In 1945, the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki became the first and last victims of the atom bomb, the most destructive man-made force our planet has ever known. Or were they just the latest in a long line of Armageddon-level events? Is it possible that our civilization is, in reality, just one of many? Did previous cultures blossom, develop, and thrive, only to destroy themselves, tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, with the same atomic technology?

These are the controversial and thought-provoking questions at the heart of Nick Redfern's Weapons of the Gods, which argues that many ancient civilizations cracked the secrets of the atom, only to become the victims of its awesome, terrifying power. Where is the evidence? The answer is shockingly simple: it's everywhere. It's just a matter of knowing where to look for it, from the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and the ancient Pakistani culture of Mohenjo-daro, Pakistan, to the Lonar Crater in India and the revelations in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, two ancient Sanskrit texts that describe nuclear warfare thousands of years ago.

Goodreads review by ☘Misericordia☘ on May 15, 2021

Quirky. I was hooked in by the cover: a UFO flying straight out of a temple. Hmm... What was that that it could've been doing in there? Q: — A look at the scenario that suggests nuclear war in the distant past may not have been fought solely by highly advanced, visiting extraterrestrials who had lit......more

Goodreads review by Rouzanna on December 06, 2019

It may not be a bad book per se, I'm just having hard time figuring out why it was written. A typical chapter opens with a brief story of a massive killing or destruction that took place in the history of the mankind (for example, Sodom and Gomorrah), then comes an overview of a source (most often i......more

Goodreads review by Michael Henebry on September 11, 2024

I listened to this book solely for the chapter on Sodom and Gomorrah but the whole book is very good. In "Weapons of the Gods", Redfern discusses the theories of ancient aliens being the "gods" of old and being responsible for meddling in human affairs with war and the passing on of technology to hu......more

Goodreads review by Bryan on September 14, 2023

I found this one based on the author who has written a few other books I really like. This one seemed like it would be interesting but I just could not get into it. The writing was great but the content ended up being something that I am now for sure not interested in.......more

Goodreads review by Alice on July 19, 2016

Amazingly Balanced Most unusual for a ancient alien book, Redfern goes over the evidence cited in most books and traces it to its source. In some cases it turns out to be quite wobbly but in other cases there is firm support for the possibility of a ancient atomic war. Again the author takes time to......more
