Read Von Daniken!!!

Okay, I will. ;)

And now let's get off the the thread...or back on topic?

Only posted once before, but really got into the conversation in this thread. I don't know if anyone has read "The Children of MU" by James Churchward and his sequels "The Sacred Symbols of MU" and .. memory fails, but I think there were 3 or perhaps 4 books. I found them quite interesting being they addressed both the "Atlantis" theory and migration of the human race.

Edit: Have read Von Daniken, and did a little research on the large images found at different places, especially those in Peru.

Perhaps we ought to rename this thread or start a new one before Beets shoots us!!!

I read somewhere mikey (sorry, I forget the source), that nearly every culture all across the world has some kind of flooding/ark style myth. I found that quite interesting.

Every culture all across the world has stories of flying beings that help out mankind, go away, and promise to return one day.

Read Von Daniken

I read him several years ago and find some of his ideas fascinating.

Aren't they just!

He has no real proof but its all written very well.

Also interesting that most cultures around the world have this similar legend that "something" significant happened about 11,000 BC.

Duncan Lunan wrote on it for one....

I was watching a show on Cozumel, Mexico the other day and their underwater caves. Thye talked all show long on how the people could have gotten back into this one spot that was over a mile underwater. Then they showed some pictures of natives in some kind of helmet using conch shells(as air resivoirs) wile underwater. Where on Earth would they learn to do that? I think there have been visitors to Earth in the past, and they may still be coming today. Some of these pictures/drawings are just too detailed and depicting things that they should not know. Why does early man always think of space ships and people with helmets on? How would they know that there was no air in space? Why would you draw people needing helpmets in space if you didn't think there was a reason? How would an ancient hunter, gatherer or farmer know about such things? Why would they then draw about them? Many interesting thoughts and hopefully none of them insulting!

By no means do all civilizations have a flood myth. Several tribes of Native Americans do not for example. The Pueblo Indians for example believe that they came up from under the ground into this world.

However, I have read that all of the peoples that are possibly traced to the Black Sea Basin at the time where there was a possible (not yet proven) flood of enormous proportions have flood myths.

There are other civilizations that have flood myths that are probably not connected to this possible event, for example, the Chinese have, I believe, a flood myth.

It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

The usual explanation of the flood myth, is that at some time in the past the Mediterranean was not there or hundreds of feet lower than it is now. The Atlantic broke through the pillars of Hercules by Gibraltar to produce what we know today. As the Bible was based around the Holy lands which for all intents and purposes was the eastern mediterranean, any change in sea level like that would have completely changed the whole "world" as they knew it.

Agreed, but did it really happen THREE different times? Gilgamish, I forget the middle name and Noah. I think the Bible was relating a tale, not a fact. Although there are MANY that believe the Bible is pure and utter fact. A verbatim account given by God to whomever was writing at the moment.

This was the land bridge betweeen the black sea and Meditteranean. Not the pillars of hercules as known as Gibralter.
