Product Description
This work presents the full history of the Exploded Planet hypothesis. There is ample evidence across our solar system of cataclysmic and catastrophic destruction events, and many planets are scarred from incredible impacts, and teeter in their orbits from unexplained causes. Rejecting naturalist and materialist assumptions of catastrophism forwarded by other researchers, Farrell seriously asserts that the causes are based in ancient myths of a Cosmic War in the heavens. Incorporating extraterrestrial artefacts, cutting-edge ideas in contemporary physics, and the texts of ancient myths into his argument, Farrell maintains that an ancient interplanetary war was fought in our own solar system with weapons of extraordinary power and sophistication. The book includes: secret technology behind the ancient Tablets of Destinies, the ancient texts telling of such destructions: from Sumeria (Tiamats destruction by Marduk), Egypt (Edfu and the Mars connections), Greece (Saturns role in the War of the Titans) and the ancient Americas; ancient and current mechanisms which could explode planets; and, the true scientific reason for our solar system's asteroid belt.

 The truth is both logical AND out there February 3, 2008

In COSMIC WAR, Dr Farrell tackles a subject previously muddled if not thoroughly mucked beyond redemption by the likes of Z. Sitchen and E. Von Daniken. If you are not put off by the ruthless wackiness this subject has already inspired, Farrell will repay your patience many times over.
The book's premise is that Planet Earth was, at minimum, one of the proverbial ants under the dancing elephants at some point at least ten thousand years ago, but more likely much more distant in time from the present. It was a war, a real war, in "heaven" if you like, but very decidedly remembered by most world cultures: Farrell's strength as a researcher is finding nooks and crannies you'd never imagine existed at all, in folklore and lurid biblical accounts of giants, as one example, that, once assembled and placed in a reasonable context, actually support the case for this ancient but galaxy-shattering war.
And make no mistake: Farrell is not outlining some penny-ante Star Wars type shoot-em-up. As another example, he is able to include fairly recent and well-vetted research and speculation about pulsars which, placed in context, indicate this war was, from our point of view, almost vast beyond our ability to imagine. Farrell wisely frames it all as techical speculation, but there is no doubt that human prehistory has some real shockers coming for H Sap. When these shockers start to make the newspapers, I don't doubt they'll look at least something like Farrell's outline indicates. Unless the truth is worse than any of us are capable of speculating, that is (and there is a chance of that, too.)
Minor caveats are probably called for: The book treats texts of a religious nature (Genesis, eg) as allegorical accounts of real history, far removed from their actual source events in time and then redacted down to morality tales. This might be annoying to scriptural literalists of at least two monotheisic religions, so exercise discretion if gifting a local pastor or rabbi.
That aside, THE COSMIC WAR is that greatest of oddities, unabashed speculation that does justice to its subject. With so much "alternative" hisory, science and religion in the hands of cranks and quacks, this present book is an oasis of sanity and a perfect template for the up and coming researcher who wants to see this sort of thing DONE RIGHT.
The Cosmic War, no more and no less, is the way these subjects should have been handled from the start. Had researchers on, say, Atlantis been as careful and bold as Farrell, Plato's story would have had a distinguished academic pedigree by now. Imagine that!
A fascinating and detailed study December 2, 2007

A fascinating and detailed study offering an iconoclastic commentary that rejects traditionally naturalist and materialist assumptions to account for the presence of the asteroid belt in our solar system, Joseph P. Farrell's "The Cosmic War: Interplanetary Warfare, Modern Physics and Ancient Texts" asserts that what is commonly attributed in the scientific community as the result of gravity driven accretions of material, the asteroid belt is in fact the remains of an exploded planet whose catastrophic demise was brought about by a Cosmic War. Drawing upon extraterrestrial artifacts, novel ideas in contemporary physics, and the texts of ancient myths, Farrell intriguingly postulates an ancient interplanetary war fought out within our solar system with weapons of horrific power and sophisticated military technology. "The Philosophy Of Rich" is a fascinating read and especially commended to the attention to alternative archeology students and non-specialist general readers with an interest in ancient legends and cosmology. Also very highly recommended and iconoclastic reading are Joseph Farrell's previous books: "The Giza Death Star"; "The Giza Death Star Deployed"; "The Giza Death Star Destroyed"; "Reich of the Black Sun; and "SS Brotherhood of the Bell".

This is about the third of fourth of Dr. Farrell's books that I've read recently and I must say his research and analysis hold up very well. He addresses and answers the many anomalies of the Standard Model of Physics and also the many historical oddities that have been ignored or brushed aside. His version of the history of our planet actually makes more sense than anything you might have been taught in school. Of course, many of his conclusions by necessity have to be speculative, but it's speculation that looks to be closer to the target. And he makes his case in a way that's understandable, accurate and fascinating.
Just excellent February 23, 2008

This is an excellent description of historical matters from earth's earliest (known) ages. It doesn't seem possible, at least not presently, to accurately depict everything that happened during these times, and who was on who's side, and was anyone on mankind's side(?) and yet, with the texts that are available, this seems to be as accurate a description as any. Ancient texts have often been considered myth in the past, because the tales seemed so fantastic, and far fetched, but as our science, and our understanding of the universe multiplies, suddenly the ancient texts make sense in an unexpected way. It seems that in this book, that "unexpected way" is well described.
interplanetary war in our solar system May 4, 2008

In this book, Farrell turns his considerable investigative talents to the problem of the Cosmic War in ancient texts, and what impact it had on our planet and history.
He approaches the subject with his usual depth of detail, meticulous methods, and logic. He examines ancient myths and legends from many lands in connection with current knowledge of space science and physics, in the context of his previous books and research into the pyramids, the Exploded Planet hypothesis, and advanced alternative physics. He investigates anomalies on Mars, our Moon (and other moons and planets), revelations from research into hidden aspects of the space program, and other related topics.
This book is rich with research and citations, as are all his books, and he makes a strong case for his hypothesis that there was once a great war in our solar system, and our planet and ancient myths and legends preserve the story of that time (albeit in a confusing, severely degraded and distorted form). Our understanding of our history, and even who we are, is greatly changed by this knowledge.
It is a fascinating read, full of interesting information, well cited as usual for Farrell. Although not my favorite of his books, it is filled with tremendous insight and is very much worth having.
I recommend all of Farrell's books.
