The following excerpt from Tom Horn's new book Nephilim Stargates: The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers.

[begin excerpt] "…this dialogue is based on accepted theology concerning Lucifer and the possibility that the location from which he fell was a star system or planetoid. Later on in The Ahriman Gate we dramatize Mars as having become a prison planet, in which the rebel angels are bound. This is fascinating in light of Hesiod's Theogony, which describes the place of imprisonment of the Titans:

And there, all in their order, are the sources and ends of gloomy earth and misty Tartarus and the unfruitful sea and starry heaven, loathsome and dank, which even the gods abhor.

It is a great gulf, and if once a man were within the gates. . . . There stands the awful home of murky Night wrapped in dark clouds. In front of it the son of Iapetus stands immovably upholding the wide heaven upon his head and unwearying hands, where Night and Day draw near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze. . . . And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. . . . (Lines 736-744)

Hesiod's Theogony takes on additional mysteries when one considers that the Bible characterizes the place of imprisoned rebel angels using the same words Hesiod employs to describe the place of Titan gods—"Tartarus" and the "Bottomless Pit" (see 2 Peter 2.4; Revelation 9.1-11; 11.7; 17.8; 20.1-3). Couple this with eerily similar discoveries on the actual moon Iapetus, and you understand why a growing number of researchers are open to the possibility that synthetic looking planetoids such as Iapetus are, as it appears to be, artificial.

In Greek mythology Iapetus was the son of Uranus and Gaia, and father of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius. Because Atlas was a "father of mankind," Iapetus was understood in myth to be a progenitor, a creator god, of Homo sapiens.

Italian astronomer and engineer Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered Saturn's moon Iapetus in 1672 using his small refracting telescope. Cassini correctly deciphered the disappearing and reappearing act of Iapetus as due to the moon synchronously rotating with one hemisphere continuously facing Saturn. Iapetus is also divided by a great gulf formed by a giant walled threshold at its equator. This feature was discovered during a New Year’s Eve flyby in 2005 when NASA's Cassini spacecraft photographed the 1300 kilometers (808 miles) long and 20 kilometers (12 miles) high rim stretching over one third of the moon's equator. No other moon in the solar system has been found with such a stunning feature: literally a 60,000 foot high wall. Compare this fact again with Hesiod’s description of a great threshold of bronze:

It is a great gulf. . . . murky Night wrapped in dark clouds. In front of it the son of Iapetus . . . where Night and Day draw near and greet one another as they pass the great threshold of bronze. . . . And there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. (Lines 736-744)

In The Search for Life in the Universe, Tobias Owen, the man at NASA who discovered the face on Mars, and Donald Goldsmith wrote that, "This unusual moon [Iapetus] is the only object in the Solar System which we might seriously regard as an alien signpost—a natural object deliberately modified by an advanced civilization to attract our attention. . . ."

Former NASA consultant Richard Hoagland also raises a number of significant questions about artificiality on Iapetus. Some of Hoagland's comments question how science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke could have written about these mysteries before they were discovered and why Clarke included a monolith stargate, through which creator beings had passed for millions of years.

In a recent email to me, David Flynn made an interesting point about this including the possibility of the "bottomless pit" (mentioned above) actually being a "star" (or an extraterrestrial object) in heaven:

Tom, you are intrepid enough to address an issue many are afraid to investigate. . . . And you are right about gates [and that various beings have come through them]...

[Flynn then quotes from Revelation 9] "And he opened the bottomless pit. . . . And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth. . . . and the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and . . . their faces [were] as the faces of men. And they had hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions . . ." (Rev.9.1-8)

[Flynn continues] Here is described an army of beings with mixed genetics [transgenics], but all species of terrestrial origin. The similarities between the "locusts with faces of men" and the modern reports of "insectoid" aliens [descending through dimensional gates] stand out in John's prophecy. . . . It is assumed that the locusts of Revelation 9 "ascend" from a bottomless pit somewhere on earth because the story of the locust invasion begins with a "star" falling from heaven to earth and an angel with a key. The Greek word translated "fall" is Pipto, which means to "descend from a higher place to a lower." If the star itself IS the bottomless pit, Revelation 9 could be describing an extraterrestrial object—a mother ship—moving into orbit around earth with myriad beings. From this same place in Scripture the word "bottomless" is bathos, often translated as "height" and the word "pit" is Phrear. A phrear in Greek mythology is an orcus, a deep chasm bound by a gulf where fallen beings are imprisoned. . . . Revelation 12 explains the surety of Satan and his angels coming down from heaven to the earth in the future. For now, they wait . . . somewhere out in space.

One can easily imagine how Official Disclosure would be forced on the world by a sudden, inexplicable movement of an extra solar planetoid and the human hysteria that would follow if Iapetus or a similar "moon" unexpectedly turned and headed toward earth... [end excerpt]

Nephilim Stargates: The Year 2012 and the Return of the Watchers
Something alarming has been happening since the dawn of time, which has been recorded in the history, holy books, and mythos of every great civilization. Ancient rabbinical authorities including Septuagint translators and early church fathers understood it. Sumerians, Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks, the Hindus, the American Indians, and virtually all other civilizations wrote about it. Beings of super intelligence sometimes referred to as "gods" descend through openings of sky, earth, and sea to interact with this planet's creatures. According to Tom Horn, prophecy says they will return... and at a time much sooner than most realize.
