N'I made the mistake of including the'subject of primitive man and megalithic'structures in connection with dreams'which actually was kind of weak. My'main point was that dreams were'important to so-called primitive man,'and that primitive man may have known'alot more than modern man is willing to
admit even to this day.
'Basically egotism and ignorance are the'reasons why modern man will not give'credit to so-called primitive man. As'YHSVH said, if you have ears, listen'and if you have eyes, look. However,'now-a-days some men have a tendency to'hear and see only what they are taught'to hear and see rather than using his'or her own God given powers to sort'things out, which again implies the'subject of free will, BUT that is
another subject. Right?
'Andrew seems to have a very strong'personality and will. The impression I'get is that he tends to dominate'people's thoughts and actions within'the orb of his considerable influence.'Even so, I have decided to bring up my'point of view on the subject just the'same, and that is probably my only'purpose, to express my point of view.'After all, we all have free will.
Right?
'By the way, I do not think it is fair'to connect the sacred name of Sanchez'with the likes of Erik Von Daniken. We'really do not have anything in common'(in particular the money). I would not'mind having that in common with him.'Well, we both may have a fairly well'developed imgination at the least. Come'on, Andrew, that is a foreign blow to
you know where.
"1. MEGALITHIC MONUMENTS OF BAALBEK
'"What megalithic structures can not be'reproduced today?" That was the'question posed by Andrew. Well, there'is this place called Baalbek, which is'located in a plain near the ranges of'Lebanon or is about 86 km from Beirut.'BaalBek means the "town of Baal". As'you may or may not know, Baal was the'son of EL, the supreme god of'Mesopotania. Supposedly the town'existed before the "floods", and the'original builders were unknown. Baalbek'is known for being the largest and best'preserved body of ancient Roman'architecture built in the second and'third century A.D. over the original
site.
'As impressive as this may be, what'really sets Baalbek apart from all'others is the "foundation", which was'called the Grand Terrace. Baalbek is an'immense stone plateform made up of'megalithic stones precisely cut and'placed to form a foundation which is'around 5 million square feet in area.'The massive stone blocks weigh around'600 tons each, and are the largest hewn
stones ever found in the world.
'There are three stones called the'Trilithon which weigh over 1,000 tons'each. Wait a minute. Let me re-word'this. They weigh over 2,000,000 pounds'each! How big you may ask? Well, one of'them is 64 feet long by 14 feet square,'or if you stood it up, it would be six
stories high!
'There is also a fourth megalith which'was abandoned at the excavation site'located a mile away, and which is'called the Monolith. It is 72 feet'long, weighs 1,600 tons, and is'considered the largest piece of hewn'rock on the face of the earth! Please
note example picture.
'OK, I am not going to say that modern'man can not move these monsters. As the'saying goes, whatever the mind can'conceive and believe, the mind can'achieve. However, I do not believe that'we have the equipment which is needed'to achieve this aim even by modern'standards! I did some research and'found that a "crawler" crane could lift'1,200,000 pounds. That still is not'good enough, as it can only lift half'the weight of the block. There is an'8,000 ton hydrolic "push-up" system,'however it does not sound like you can'move the block over a distance. Would'not you agree that moving this monster'over one mile of uneven terrain and'lifting it 20 feet in the air to place'in a wall...is quite an accomplishment
by anyone's standard.
'Andrew, in your modern day egotism,'with all your spoon fed knowledge, how'would you as an individual (without'modern technology) lift and move a'block that weighs over 1,000 tons?'Well, the Greeks stated that if you had'a long enough lever, you could move the'world. How long do you think this lever'would be? What would it be made of?'Maybe it would be made of cedar wood.'How would it be bound together, so it'does not snap? Well, if that is not a'practical method, how about pulleys?'What rope and supporting structures'could support a weight of over 1,000
tons?
'Let us say that you are able to lift'the block, how are you going to move'it? Assuming you know the concept of'the wheel (which apparently the indians'of the Americas did not know), do you'know for a fact that some cidar tree'could handle the weight of that monster'block and not be pressed into the'ground? Hard to say. You would have to'find out. OK, so you have overcome'inertia of rest, and now the block is'moving (I assume rather slowly). What I'do not understand is how you would move'the block up an incline? I am assuming'that the block now weighs considerably'more than a 1,000 tons. Ditto for going
down an incline.
'I suppose that most people would say'why would anyone even desire to do such'a thing in the first place? Maybe just'to prove that they can do it I suppose.'I am almost willing to beat, Andrew,'that you have never seen anyone do this'before, and do not know for certain'that your methods would work at least
without trying them out first.
'"It seems likely that Rudy (or someone'he has talked to) has seen it and based'his statement about megaliths on what'is in this program." Here he is'assuming that I have either read'Daniken's books or seen his show which'apparently was a fraud based on lies to'deceive the public. For that reason,'maybe my speculations are also a fraud,'and my intentions suspect. Either that
or I am highly suggestiable.
'In answer to you query, I am not a fan'of Daniken, nor have I read any of his'books, nor have I seen any of his'shows. I was not caught up in that fad'or trend 20 years ago. I only heard'about him indirectly through other'books I have read. Lately I have'started reading the books written by'Zecharia Sitchin, however there are'some conclusions of his that even I'have not completely accepted, as I do'try to do my own thinking as much as possible.
'OK, I agree that Daniken is not sacred,'and his show is a fraud. I am almost'certain that most of his stuff is'driven by economics rather than by the'thirst for knowledge and truth. I'suspect also that he does in fact'really have an interest in so-called'primitive civilizations tied in with a'belief in visitors from outer space.'Well, I have to admit that this would'be a giant leap in logic to somehow
connect the two, or is it?
2. Human Evolution.
'My initial attempt at writing this'article was to get some idea of how and'when man started building these'megalithic structures. After some'research I started to realize that any'of these characters could have possibly
built them. See intro pic.
'What do we know about man so far? We'have evidence that a hominid, a manlike'ape which was bipedal and erect, goes'back 25,000,000 years ago; that the'first truly manlike creature, advanced'Australopithecus appeared from 2 to 5.5'million years ago. Australopithecus was'considered a hominid thus the'evolutionary connection I suppose.'However, it had the brain size of a
gorilla.
'Homo Erectus appeared around 1,600,000'years ago. Apparently it showed'"evolutionary" changes in that it's'brain size grew from 1/2 to 2/3 the'size of modern man. It was the first to'use fire, and it was a hunter. It also'had greater manual skill at making and'using tools. Homo Erectus continued'until about 200,000 years ago. As you'can probably tell, if there is such a'thing as evolution, it happens very'slowly. It was about this time that!things started to pick up speed.
'Apparently, around 200,000 years ago,'both Neanderthal and Homo Sapien'appeared. I supposed that they could'have been considered the typical'"caveman" that lived in the "stone'age". Neanderthal continued until'around 30,000 years ago, when it either
became extinct or was absorbed.
'NEWS FLASH! I just got an article'today, 7 October 1997, from my friend,'Joe Trimble. The article was called'"Scientists find aliens among us" which'was written by Adam Goodheart and was'presented in USA TODAY issue 17'September 1997. Well, it just happened'one day before getting this article'that I was working on this evolutionary'problem. What a coincidence! Apparently'a European paleontologist had extracted'DNA from a Neanderthal man. The DNA'proved that Neanderthal was a separate'and distinct species in comparison to'Homo Sapiens. The author implied that'an intelligent non-human life had been'discovered, however this revelation'does make me wonder from where'Neanderthal came exactly. The author'also implied that our ancestors must'have realized that we were not the only'intelligent life in the universe. The'author suggested that other hominids'had either become extinct or were'deliberately exterminated (by us). From'my own research, Homo Erectus may have'became extinct around 200,000 years'ago, however the article stated that'Homo Erectus had existed until about'30,000 years ago, which was another'bomb-shell discovery and revelation! I'suppose the implication again was that'they may have been exterminated (about'the same time as Neanderthal)! The'article ends with these words. "There'will be further revelations, not from'the rocky deserts of another planet'(this was in reference to the Mar's'Pathfinder's robot on Mars) but from'the caves and crevices of this one. And'perhaps before long, we'll be able to'say: We have found the aliens, and they$were here on Earth." END NEWS FLASH!
'The Age of Domestication started around'11,000 years ago, when man started'domesticating both animal and plant'life. In Iraq's Zagros Mountains, man'"domesticated" a wild variety of emmer'to produce wheat and barley. I suppose'that beer must have soon followed. Yah!
'"Domestication" is just a long word'cover-up for genetic engineering where'like begots like. (How long ago did'western man re-learn genetic'engineering? A couple hundred years'ago.) I suppose that "domestication"'was just another name for the practice'of cross-breeding and in-breeding, but'the concept is still pretty advance by
caveman standards.
'For example, of all the varieties of'corn in the world, no one for certain'knows which one is the "wild" variety'of corn. In order to find out,'scientists had to use archeological'evidence and genetic backcrossing'between living "wild" grasses such as'Tripsacum and teosinte. Their product'was a "wild" corn that had INEDIBLE'kernels. Apparently modern corn cannot'reproduce without man's help, while the'mysterious and ancient "wild" corn must'have been able to mature and release
its seed without human help.
'Andrew, when was the last time you had'"domesticated" a wild plant? Which'plant would you pick and how would you'domesticate it? Basically what the'scientists are saying is that if we'should ever lose our modern varieties'of corn, we could not be able to locate'the original "wild" plant to produce'corn as we know it. Even if we could'find it, we would not know how to'domesticatic it! As I mentioned in the'intro pic, which of the monkeys had"done it? Well, maybe none of them.
3. The Anunnaki.
'Getting back to the subject of'"primitive" people in connection with'visitors from other worlds. Well, there'is what is called the epic of Atrahasis'which was probably written around 1700'BCE in Mesopotania. The epic descibes a'heavenly society which is divided into'two classes: Tgigi and Anunnaki. The'Tgigi were the gods who labored in the'fields. The Anunnaki were the gods who'were the leaders. Anunnaki means "the'fifty who went from heaven to earth".'The story starts with the revolt of the'Tgigi who worked for the chief leader,'Enlil. They were tired of working in'the fields. The solution which was'suggested was to create a Lulu, a'"primitive" worker. "While the Birth'Goddess is here, let her create a'Primitive Worker; let him bear the'yoke; let him carry the toil of the'gods!" And the Worker would be called'"Man". Andrew, do you believe that'story by so-called primitive man? Maybe'they were into science-fiction back'then. Well, if you do not believe this'story, then do you believe the Bible?'In my opinion, the Bible has some of!the strangest stories imaginable.
'Anyway, the Bible states that the'Nefilim, which means literally "those'who were cast down" or "those who had'descended to earth." For those people'not familiar with the subject, Bible'stories and ideas are pretty much'continuations of stories and ideas
which came out of Mesopotania.
'Lets say that I had an experience. One'night I saw an alien which descended'from heaven to earth. I then saw the'alien proceed to mate with a female'earthling! Shock. Dismay. I go home and'tell everyone about my story. I suspect'that most people would think that I had'lost my mind, and do you really blame'them. Nope! This kind of experience is'not a common enough experience among
most people here on earth.
'I suppose that you can suspect one'person's story. However, when a whole'nation or country reaches consensus on'the matter, how do you explain it away?'Maybe they were all hullucinating, or'maybe they were all liars. In my'opinion, to reach such consensus, many'people would need to experience pretty'much the same experience. Either way,'both stories would have made great$science fiction stories now-a-days.
'Getting back to the subject of genetic'engineering, did the so-called'primitives show a basic understanding'of such a subject? Lets draw from'Genesis Chapter 1:11-12 "And YHVH went'on to say: [Let the earth cause grass'to shoot forth, vegetation bearing'seed, fruit trees yielding fruit'according to their kinds, the seed of'which is in it, upon the earth." And it'came to be so. And the earth began to'put forth grass, vegetation bearing'seed according to its kind and trees'yielding fruit, the seed of which is in
it according to its kind.]
'This is a basic statement of'understanding concerning genetics in'that certain plants have seeds, and the'seeds produce fruit according to their'kind or class. However, please note'that their "god" is making this
statement of understanding.
'In Genesis Chapter 2:7 [And YHVH Elohim'proceeded to form the Adam out of dust'from the ground and to blow into his'nostrils the breath of life, and the'Adam came to be a living soul.]'God+gods formed or "molded" with their'hands the lulu, the primitive worker,'called Adama or "man". However, I'believe the "living soul" implied'something greater than a primitive
worker.
'I suspect that the first story was a'statement of fact that the primitive'worker called Adam was a slave created'to labor in the fields. The Genesis'story may have been a "declaration of'emancipation" in that the Adam was not'just a slave or animal, but was in fact'divine in nature, even though he was'created out of the dust of the earth,'"the lowest of the lowest." Anyway,
that is how I see it.
'Whether man was created through genetic'engineering as we understand it'now-a-days is hard to say. The strange'part of the story is that the God+gods'tried to match him up with a mate by'introducing him to beasts of the field'and fouls of the air. However none of'them took! This just shows that they'did not see him any different than the'other creatures of creation. Again,'they were forced to form a female as a'compliment of him. All strange stories
indeed!
3. Knowledge of the stars.
'Man built monolithic structures'according to the stars, as the study of'the stars was very important back in'those days. Apparently, they aligned'these structures in accordance with the'position of the stars...maybe for'religious and agricultural reasons. It'is hard to say for certain "all" the'reasons for doing this. Anyway, the'Mesopotanians and in particular the'ancient Sumerians were known for being"great astronomers aka astrologers.
'Apparently, they knew about our solar'system which contained 12 planets one'of which was the sun. They claimed that'the Anunnaki came from the planet'Nibiru, the 12th planet, which was'represented as a solar disk with wings.'Have you ever wondered why airplane'pilots had adopted this symbol? I have.
'They knew about our galaxy. They'divided the sky into the 12'constellations of the zodiac. The'Psalms and the Book of Job repeatedly'the constellations of the zodiac and'other star groups like the Pleiades.'"God hung the stars in the sky-the'Dipper, Orion, the Pleiades, and the'stars of the south." Job 9,9. Why the
mentioning of Pleides?
'Well, the sign of Taurus the Bull'contains the Pleides (seven stars), as'its center and chief mark. The Pleides'(the seven stars) was in ancient times'associated with the Bull, which just'happens to be the symbol of Almighty'God, EL. The Pleides was also'considered the seven daughters of'Atlas, who held up both heaven and'earth. These daughters were placed in'heaven near their sisters, the Hyades'or stars located in the Bull's head.'The Arabians considered the Pleiades'the seal or seat of immortality.'Alcyone is one of the stars in the'Pleiades, and is considered the center'of the so-called "fixed stars". It was'considered the great central Sun of the'universe, around which all others'revolved. I wonder if this mentioning'of Pleides implies that EL came from
the constellation of the Bull?
'At one point, the North Pole is'pointing to the North Star. Due to the'wobble of the earth, it takes 25,900'years in a "grand circle" for the North'Pole to point again to the North Star.'The phenomenon of this grand circle is'called the precession. Apparently, the'Sumerian's based their calculations'upon the number 12960000 which was'related to the phenomenon of the'procession. For that reason, the'Sumerians knew of the Great Year of
25,920 years.
'The Sumerians stressed that Taurus the'Bull as their first constellation. For'that reason, the zodiac dates back to'4,000 BC. However, in Berlin there is a'Sumerian tablet which shows the zodiac'beginning in the constellation of Leo.'That would mean that their zodiac dates'back to 11,000 BC which is about the'same time man started to "domesticate"
plants and animals!
'Andrew, if the Great Year is 25,920'years long, how did "primitive" man'figure this out in such a short span of'time? I figured that in order to know'this, you would have to track and'record this phenomenon for at least'26,000 years, that is assuming you'already know or suspect that it exists'and the earth wobbles. However, I can'not see how this is possible by
"caveman" standards.
'To my thinking, an outside influence'(maybe even one from outer space) seems'possible, and the crazy Mesopotania"stories sounds even more probable.
'In conclusion, Andrew, why all the'conceit and egotism of modern man? Why'does modern man pretend to know'everything? Homo Sapien aka Cro Magnon'of 40,000 years ago was actually taller'and had a bigger brain size than modern'man which seems to imply that man may'have actually degenerated over the'centuries. In my opinion, man and his'history is a mystery. We really do not'remember everything that happened in'the past. We can only guess and use our'imagination. How does modern man know'that dinosaurs were gray in color and'had skins like lets say elephants? We'really do not know, so we use our'imagination to fill in the details, and'then pretend that it is so. If anyone'says otherwise, then we squash that'person's freedom of thought and speech.
