The Lost Realms

[Guest guest]

To all members:

 

I've been reading a book, entitled "The Lost Realms", by Zecharia

Sitchin. His premise was to show that the Pre-Columbian peoples of

Mexico and South America were influenced by advanced beings who visited

the Earth in prehistoric times. He presented his case by showing the

high technical knowledge required in constructing the various pyramids

in Mexico, particularly the Yucatan area. Specifically, this knowledge

included the concept of pi, which was similarly known by the Egyptians.

 

The author's ideas are fascinating in itself. However, in reflecting

about these phenomenon, we could make a proposal that these people in

Mexico and South America had developed independently from the rest of

the world civilizations. They developed ideas in engineering and

constructions out of their own inherent consciousness.

 

Based on the various motifs shown in these ancient constructions, it

appears that the indigenous people were heavily influenced by Rahu, as

depicted by the various symbols of the serpent in their culture. As

such, their culture must have been unusual as compared to the present

cultural norm. From the historical facts we can gather, the people of

that time period practiced human sacrifices to appease the gods.

 

As a culture of Rahu, their civilization must have been volatile,

although it accomplished a fairly high level of sophistication in their

study of astronomy and development of their own calendar. The

volatility in the culture can be seen in the various tribal warfare

that the people engaged in.

 

If the European culture had not intervened in the history of these

indigenous peoples, we can only speculate as to how their culture would

have developed. Could they have developed a more comprehensive society

that integrated the various impulses of intelligence (the grahas) for

the benefit of their own people?

Hi John,

 

I find your musings fascinating about a culture of Rahu in distant

Meso-American history, which would explain the evidence of warring and

human sacrifice that took place during certain periods. There

certainly are many fascinating correlations to be drawn between

Quetzalcoatl, the winged and feathered serpent god of Mayan and Aztec

culture, and the nagas and dragons that form the core of creation

myths throughout the world. From my limited reading, I believe that

most world cultures share common roots going back farther than we can

even imagine, even beyond Atlantis, from where many alternative

historians believe Quetzalcoatl originated. In his brilliant series of

books on Sumerian history, Zechariah Sitchin takes us back hundreds of

thousands of years to Earth's supposed extra-terrestrial (reptilian?)

origins!

 

Happy summer reading!
