“Lower ye the landing gear!” “The landing gear be lowered.” In The Ancient of Days: Deity or Manna Machine?, George Sassoon postulizes that the Israelite’s Exodus manna from heaven really came from a machine powered by a small thermonuclear device. He uses biblical passages and an ancient Aramaic Jewish text (the Kabbalah) to reach his conclusion. Suprisingly, this is an interesting and entertaining read.
