A Brass Bell In Coal
In a discovery in 1944 that by now is almost becoming common place, a man called Newton
Anderson found this quaint brass bell inside a lump of coal that was mined near his house in West
Virginia (fig.42). Newton dropped the lump and it broke revealing the bell encased inside. The
bell underwent rigorous testing and was extensively analyzed at the University of Oklahoma and
found to contain known metals but mixed together in an unusual blend and quite different from
any modern alloys.
Numerous other such discoveries in coal have even been recorded, including the delicate gold
chain mentioned previously and a cast iron pot that was also found inside a coal seam.

The Rhodesian Man
In 1921 a Neanderthal skull was discovered 60 feet below ground in Rhodesia that produced a
strange mystery. Upon examination it appeared that the skull had been pierced by a high velocity
projectile similar to a bullet in the left temple area (fig.43). Tests have shown that the injury must
have indeed occurred at the moment of death and not from a stray bullet years afterwards.
This means that whoever fired the fatal bullet must have done it thousands of years ago.
According to author, Rene Noorbergen: "A German forensic authority from Berlin has
positively stated that the cranial damage to Rhodesian man's skull could not have been caused by
anything but a bullet." The rounded entry point of the wound also testifies to the great speed at
which the projectile would have had to have been traveling.
A Pillar of much too Pure Iron
In Delhi India there is an Iron Pillar that has completely defied metallurgists by remaining
absolutely rust free for the last 1600 years, ever since its discovery by the west (fig.45). It’s
unclear for how long the pillar has actually been standing for (in fact there is more than one of
these in India) but the problem lies in the fact that such rust free iron, of the type that is found in
these pillars is unheard of in our modern technology.
These iron pillars are in fact a metallurgist nightmare, or dream, depending on your mindset,
but one truly interesting thing is the fact that the only other place completely rust free iron has
been located, is in rock samples that were brought back from the moon during the Apollo
missions!
