the only inhabited world in the universe as mycologists believed, their theory might be plausible. Even so, the conception of an abstract force as a Superman requires a lofty, philosophical reasoning unlikely for an illiterate tribe and probably beyond most people today. If an ignorant peasant describes in picturesque detail some wondrous Personage alighting from a sky-ship, whom he subsequently worships, it is surely because he himself or someone, whose word he believes, actually did sec such a Being descend from the heavens not just once but many times. Hoaxes do delude the superstitious, but frauds seldom deceive for long. Most Christians worship Jesus because the Gospels describe Him as a real Man; for two thousand years His gentle Image has been impressed upon human consciousness by inspired paintings, His Life and Death have been extolled in books and sermons by countless disciples. Without this haunting Image, could ordinary men and women for twenty centuries have worshipped an unpersonified Ideal of Love? Buddha, Jesus, Mahomet, were Men, admittedly overshadowed by Higher Powers, but in popular consciousness they were human like our Truth-seeking Selves today. Uranus, Cronus, Zeus, Apollo, were real Beings, perhaps each may have been a generic term for Celestials from a specific planet; in ages to come Martians may worship a God called Jack generalising cosmonauts who once descended to them from Earth.
Why did peoples of Antiquity all over the Earth almost always give to planets the names of the chief Gods? When our astronomers discover a new star they classify it by a code-number in the Cambridge Stellar Catalogue or call it after its finder. Xenocrates, a pupil of Plato, greatly esteemed by Aristotle and Cicero, wrote a lost work on the nature of the Gods in which he dealt with the eight Gods of the heavenly bodies and called them the Olympian Deities. Pluto was so-called merely to harmonise with all the other planets named after Gods. The claim by astrologers that people born under the various planets have distinctive physical and mental characteristics may possibly be a race-memory of the salient appearance and temperament of the average visitor from each of those planets long ago, embellished perhaps by lyrical poetic license.
Esoteric traditions teach that all the planets around our Sun are surveilled by Cosmic intelligences on Sirius who in the Miocene Period sent Migrants to colonise Earth. In ancient times people all over the world held mystic reverence for Sirius, the Dog Star, such a Celestial might have been revered as 'Ouranos', a Being from the Sky.
The Babylonians identified Uranus with Anu, who was believed to dwell in the Constellation of the Great Bear like the 'Seven Shining Ones' in Egyptian Mythology; significantly the direction from which the space-ships today approach Earth through the polar-vents in the Van Allen Belts. The planet Uranus was known to the Magi of Persia and to the Hindus, although they excluded it from our Sun's Seven Sons of Light, associating its baleful influence with evil. The vast distance of Uranus roughly 1,700 million miles from Earth made its observation in northern skies difficult, the planet's existence became therefore forgotten until rediscovery by Sir William Herschel on 13th March 1781 . The Shilluk tribe in South Africa have always called Uranus 'Three Stars', a planet with two moons; it is difficult to believe that Uranus was actually visible to them, certainly not its satellites, which require the largest telescopes. Whence did the Shilluks derive this knowledge before Western astronomers knew of the existence of Uranus? Were those South African natives taught by Spacemen?
Official astronomy insists that this giant planet, 31,000 miles in diameter, rotating in 34 years around the Sun, shudders in temperatures minus 100 degrees Centigrade under clouds of methane and ammonia possibly with hydrogen and helium; a warming process is believed to
