Have you ever wondered why the written record of Man only goes back some 5000-7000 years? History as we teach it today operates on the artifacts and writings of antiquity which have been discovered to date. They hold that as far back as the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, civilized Man has existed and from there we are here today through a progression of divergent happenings which hasn't killed us off yet. What is interesting is that within these cuniform writings discovered in what is today Iraq are very detailed recordings of commerce, of law, of the sciences, and of philosophy.
Now I don't know about you, but if these are the earliest writings we have and they point to such things which required many years and generations of interaction to develop, then who was before the Sumerians? Not far away were the Vedics and they also left an extensive written record of similar development and the Chinese as well. All things found date to a very similar timeframe and all reflect a similar path of what we today would define as societal progress. Though interaction between the people of Sumer and the Vedics was as likely as it was possible due to their proximity, did they also interact with the Chinese who were a considerable distance away? And what about recent discoveries made in our Hemisphere which place several civilizations which had robust economies in the same time period????
Our History education today ignores that which existed BEFORE all this, LONG before these earliest records were ever made, the body of evidence is growing daily for the assertion that Man as we know him today was engaged in a steady march to tame his enviroment as far back as 50,000 years. A few folks dedicated to the effort go much further back than that, theorizing that Man was tooling around and inventing 100's of Millions of years earlier than we ever thought before. That we can so theorize today would seem to indicate that our Historians today are lazy, for they seek to assert that only the earliest written records establish civilized people. Rather snobbish if you ask me....
My subject's question will now come into play, for setting the stage for my own theory required providing some basis which all should know and can easily relate to. So what happened to all of the physical evidence of peoples prior to the discovery of Sumerian artifacts? Most all agree that Man has walked the Earth for well over 100 Million years (perhaps over 1 Billion years), our fossil finds have led us that far, but are we left to believe that for all but 1/100millionth of his existance that he was nothing above Aknod & Grog foraging for food and hiding from the man eating wildlife of the day? Sorta insults one's intelligence doesn't it?
The various Scientific disiplines have gone as far to posit that the balance of Man today is descendent from a single strand of DNA which survived some cataclysmic episode around 50,000 years ago, as all genetic diversity to date points to a single mother. What event could have nearly wiped out our entire species way back when, if their research is to be believed? Think for a moment about this, for what is suggested is that 99% of the human population of Earth was killed in what amounts to a fortnight. If that is so, then indeed all or almost all evidence we could draw upon about our earlier ancestors would possibly have suffered an equal fate, leaving us with only post disaster relics from which we operate from today. But also there is this to consider: IF the entirety of mankind is so descended in but 50,000 years of procreating, how many folks were around when this Big Bang or whatever occurred and just what could these lost souls have accomplished? Given what Man has accomplished to date, do you dare allow yourself to consider all of those possiblities?
An article I found today: mash here (http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/12/09/D8ED22880.html) suggests that the magnetic North Pole is migrating. Science has long known that the magnetic poles shift but not on what timetable. The climatic implications are enormous, for such a shifting would relocate the angles of heat and particles impacting the atmosphere, altering the Global weather patterns in ways we cannot fathom. As we lack the knowledge of such Earth changing activities, I believe we could reasonably assert that we currently don't know diddly squat about what Mother Earth is liable to do.
Combine this with the knowledge that the Earth's land masses are in constant movement, that otherworldly missiles can impact the planet without warning, and you can get a real sense of just how tenuous our hold on matters is and how infantile Man's efforts to self exterminate may truely be.
How many are familiar with the Mayan calender? Did you know that it mysteriously ends in 2012? Edgar Cayce foretold of great tumult in the early 21st Century which also identified 2012 as an ominous date. Cayce's prophecy held that events beginning in 2007 would signal a procession of other occurances which would usher in a new age for man or his total demise. That he predicted the possibility of a polar shifting is interesting if not troubling, that he saw the shifting of land masses in league with other Earth changes including the rising of an Atlantic land mass and the subsequent submersion of the US East Coast along with the linking of the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River to the Gulf Coast and you can begin to see just how many millions would be impacted.
We fixate on the news of Man's violence upon his brothers and his acquisition of the supposed power to alter his fate, yet arrogantly Man seems to ignore the fact that Mother Earth abides by her own timetable and holds all the trump cards. Why is it that we as a race cannot bring ourselves to focus upon the singlemost aspect of our existence which has through the millenia crafted the very means by which Man holds onto his pathetic life?
Have any of you paid attention to the activity along the Ring of Fire? Volcanic activity is often the precursor for greater Earth change and over the last few years long dormant volcanos have stirred and the active have stepped up their belchings. Researchers have determined the current of the Gulf Stream is slowing, that the Global climate is possibly showing signs of changing as a result, and that the heat cast by our Sun has increased just a little bit. Could all of these diverse factors be trying to tell us something or is the fact that we are more aware of them just invoking my mind to seek some equation of doom?
Has our arrogant side blinded us to the multitude of possibilities, of even considering ancient accomplishments long before any time thought possible, and of abject ignorance to the power of our Planet to dictate the very means of our existence? Could it be that Man has undergone many episodes of advance only to see it and him nearly wiped clean off the Earth? I think that it is not only plausible, but that it is as likely as is our presence today. Difficult is it for me to just toss nearly the entire time our Earth has been around without one of its species not hanging around to achieve what we consider to be some degree of gnosis.
I know, this is some deep stuff, but I'm catching up on some things which I've simply not had the time to keep up with due to a very busy year. Just thought I'd toss it out and see what y'all might think, you never know unless you ask.
