Spelling Dog Backwards

The second post on a blog like this is pivotal. This is where I have to hook the early reader and make them believe I know what I'm talking about. Here goes...

Civilization is cyclical.

I firmly believe that we are not experiencing our first iteration of enlightenment. We've been at this level of technology or better before. One might say "Where is the evidence?". Well, here is where I show my cards a bit and say... all around. Where to start? Let's keep in mind that this is a blog, not a book, not a thesis and I am certainly not an expert. That said, I've spent the better part of 25 years reading and thinking about this. I believe that prior to recorded history that there was at least a global maritime civilization that shared a common language and technology via trade. I believe that our oldest recorded myths (The Epic of Gilgamesh) spoke of a true event. To quote Wikipedia;

"The earliest written literature dates from about 2600 BC..."

The Epic of Gilgamesh is an epic poem written in cuneiform originating in ancient Sumeria (Modern day Iraq) and later transcribed in Akkadian.  The best way to describe Gilgamesh's tale is again, to quote the Wiki;

"The story revolves around a relationship between Gilgamesh, who has become distracted and disheartened by his rule, and his close companion, Enkidu. Enkidu is a wild man created by the gods as Gilgamesh's equal to distract him from oppressing the citizens of Uruk. Together they undertake dangerous quests that incur the displeasure of the gods. Firstly, they journey to the Cedar Mountain to defeat Humbaba, its monstrous guardian. Later they kill the Bull of Heaven that the goddess Ishtar has sent to punish Gilgamesh for spurning her advances..."

That is merely the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Whereas the earliest portions of the Hebrew Bible date only from the 10th century BC, Gilgamesh is older by at least 1,700 years. Not only is it older, it is nearly the definitive origin of the the Tale of Noah as described in the portion devoted to Utnapishtim.

The slightest bit of research should inspire some pretty serious head scratching for the uninitiated. Once that has set in, allow me to point you to the general Deluge Myths.

One must admit that at some point, whether by the wrath of God, cometary or asteroidal impact or via a physical and not just magnetic polar shift (see this link and pay special attention to the validity lent to it by Charles Hapgood and his communications with Albert Einstein).  A global cataclysm occurred that forever changed the face the Human Culture. It was important enough that it was written down, repeated as oral tradition and kept safe so that it survived (in my opinion) the ten thousand years since it's occurrence.


Noah: A Side Note.

Unless you are firmly set in the Judeo-Christian mindset, Noah is a moot point. Noah is a vague disambiguation of the older more salient truth made into myth and set into the stone of dogma. Noah was the elite priesthood's way to attach beginning to their mindset, a mindset that would enslave the world for eons, a truth which everyone in the Post-Deluvian world knew. To this day we still argue whether or not the "Ark" could have sailed. It certainly could not have been engineered by one man and his immediate family unless Yahweh gave Noah the Plans at birth and he worked tirelessly in his "free time" (for ancient man had plenty of free time not having to worry about silly things like hunting, gathering and foraging)... I digress. There was no one "Ark" or any incredibly impossible taxonomic gathering of animals.  

(I will say that if this myth is a remembrance of a rescue on a much higher technological scale i.e. actual gathering of DNA and taking it off planet, well, that too is beyond the realm of possibility without help of "Gods" or Visitors.)

End Side Note

Let us agree to put it this way; Everyone remembered "The Flood". As I said early, whether it was a celestial event, massive shift of Terra Firma or an expedited melting of the polar caps there is no easily decoded written explanation... Why? Simple...

Where does civilization gather today? Ports. Port Cities. Of The Top Five Cities in the World  today all are Port Cities. Think of America... San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, all port cities. Civilization gathers around ports. It is where culture is traded, languages and culinary skills are melded and genetic diversity begins. The World grew, learned and began in the port cities. Ports required agriculture, settling and an abandonment of the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of our fore bearers.  Chances are if you could read, and write, you lived in a port city.

But where is the evidence?

Easy. Want evidence? Go to the beach, point yourself to the water and walk our about a mile (on average) and start hunting around under 10,000 years of erosion and find your ruins... they already are in the Mediterranean (sorry no link) and off the coast of India and Japan.

If there was a global deluge, the port cities were destroyed. The survivors sought refuge with their less "civilized" brethren in the hills. Those who could not read. Those who saw the survivors as gods. Viracocha, Quetzacoatl, Ra, etc, etc, ad infinitum... Atlantis? A memory of a time when all was wine and roses... not a lost continent.


That is all for now. If you really want to dig deeper allow me to offer you a few jumping off points...
