meant 'Sky' Uranus could generalise Spacemen from anywhere in the heavens, although it might still refer to the planet, Uranus, known to the Ancients. Uranus does not appear to have been worshipped by the Greeks at any time, nor was the God associated with any cult or art, suggesting he symbolised a most ancient race of Spacemen ruling Earth vast ages beyond Greek cognizance. The Titans or Uranidae, sons and daughters of Uranus, originally dwelled in heaven, they were very ancient figures little worshipped in Greece and belonged to a most remote past quite alien to those myth-makers of Greece ; it was vaguely believed that they were giant Nature Powers, magicians with wondrous arts controlling Nature. 'Ouranos’ was probably identical to Varuna, the powerful primeval God from pre-Indian mythology mentioned in the Vedas, who was associated with heavenly bodies; he controlled the Moon and the stars, the name 'Varuna' meant 'the encompassed sky', clearly indicative of Spacemen. The Titans equate with the giant Asuras of India; later Varuna became Chief of the Adityas and a kind of Neptune riding on the Leviathan, possibly a Spaceship plunging into the sea.
     
    The Uranids may represent some Galactic race from an advanced planet circling a star near the centre of the Milky Way, who exploring our Solar System installed a transit-station on Earth millions of years ago. The one-eyed Cyclops, sons of Uranus, who rebelled against their father and were cast down to deep Tartarus below the Earth may conceivably have been Visitants from another star, who chanced to land here and fought cataclysmic wars with the original colonists; admittedly such a theory smacks of Science- Fiction yet it seems quite logical, even likely. Our Earth cooled down more than three thousand million years ago, there were probably several Galactic Empires, on the cosmic scale in the most remote past Invaders from rival stars could have battled for domination of Earth just as the British and French fought for Canada . The Titans are said to have ridden the starways, they are believed to have been the first builders on Earth being the Immortals of our legends, the God Race or the Elder Race that preceded 'hu-man' beings. Hesiod in his 'Theogony' wrote 'The poet of the " War of the Titans " whether Eumclus of Corinth or Arctinus writes thus in his second book "Upon the shield were dumb fish afloat, with golden faces, swimming and sporting through the heavenly water."
     
    Theolytus says that he (Herades) sailed across the sea in a cauldron, but the first to give this story is the author of the " War of the Titans ".  First of all, the deathless Gods, who dwell on Olympus made a golden race of mortals who lived in the time of Cronos when he was reigning in heaven. The 'shield' with fishes having golden faces sporting through the heavenly water and Heracles sailing across the sea in a cauldron may be some garbled reference to Celestials in Spaceships.
    The Cyclops may be identified with the “Els,” a stellar race of non-human physique, who built the labyrinthine cities underground utilising cosmic energies, still associated with the subterranean civilisation of Agharta alleged to exist today. The castration of Uranus is difficult to resolve; this dramatic mutilation by his son, Cronus, must have immense significance. It may possibly be some primitive explanation for the race of Uranids coming to an end, the first civilisation of Ouranus (Sky) being supplanted by the Golden Age of Cronus (Saturn); the severance of Uranus's penis and the birth of Giants and Nymphs from drops of his blood suggest later overtones of the Dionysian fertility-cults.
     
    In ancient times, all the planets were identified with Gods, Celestials in human form who descended to Earth to teach Mankind. Mycologists allege that the Gods were merely anthropomorphic symbols of natural forces or human emotions, it was natural for primitive man to create the Gods in his own image. Were our Earth
