ability to take on human form and become a great leader parallels the Christian prophecy of the coming of the Antichrist, a powerful being who is the devil incarnate that will lead the human race to a great war known as Armageddon. The holy man continued to talk of the djinn for several hours, after which he be came tired and asked us to leave. He mentioned a cave near Oman
which the djinn use to enter our world.
The holy man also said there were a number of towns and small
villages in Oman, Iraq, and Syria in which the djinn have established strongholds. To me, this behavior seems to indicate they
were creating beachheads to mount an invasion on the human race.
When I heard about a place in Oman where these beings could
enter our world, I had to see it for myself. I was already in the area,
and knew that unless I took advantage of my proximity to visit the
cave, I might never get another chance to explore it.
Majlis al Djinn
The djinn enter our world through some kind of interdimensional
portal. We have many cases in our files where wormhole-like openings have appeared, and strange creatures or beings have emerged.
These dimensional travelers would be regarded as djinn in the
Middle East, but here in the Western Hemisphere, they are called
"aliens." Some Muslims believe there are locations on the planet in
which a djinni or a djinn family exist and share our world. One of
these locations is located in Oman on the Selma Plateau in a very
remote area known as Majlis al Djinn-"the meeting place of the
djinn." Although many citizens of Oman, especially in the nearby
villages, believe the cave is the home of djinn, the name was actually given by twentieth-century explorers who were fascinated
with the locals' beliefs. The original Omani name of the cave was
KhoshilatMaqandeli, which means "the place to harbor goats."
Majlis al Djinn is the eighth largest cave in the world and has
the fifteenth largest chamber. The cave's main chamber is so huge,
it could fit the Great Pyramid of Giza inside it and still have room.
The cave was formed by water that slowly ate away at carbonate rocks in the Tertiary period.' The cave was not fully explored until 1983, but local residents knew of its existence for centuries and kept their distance because they believed a djinni had made its home there.
There are no visible lower exits or passages leading from the chamber to the ground above-only several openings in the ground leading straight down into the main chamber. Water entering the cave collects along the lowest part of the floor, then slowly infiltrates into the fine-grained, mud-cracked sediment. The entrances receive surface runoff from a small drainage area, so water never reaches most parts of the cave. While surface temperatures can exceed ninety degrees, air temperatures inside the chamber hover around sixty degrees. Access to the cavern is available only through a free descent of one of three vertical entrances in the ceiling, a drop of about 320 feet.
A TRIP TO OMAN
While still in Saudi Arabia, I asked my friend Jack if he could arrange passage into Oman for me to see this cave firsthand. Fortunately, the weather was still quite cool, and the trip would not be that taxing for a person like me who was more used to the temperate climate of New England. Jack arranged for his right-hand man, Captain Yarramish, to go with me. I was delighted, as I had come to trust and know this man and his family quite well. He didn't even seem to mind me mispronouncing his last name. His first name was so long that he agreed to let me call him "Yarr." He seemed to find it amusing, and told me, "This is something only an American could say and get away with."
Saudi Arabia borders Oman, and our trip that day was short, thanks to the small passenger jet Jack had arranged for us. After about a one-hour flight, we landed at Seeb International Airport (now
called Muscat International Airport). Yarr told me a vehicle would be
