Introduction
The Neolithic was the great age of
seafaring, and all continents had been discovered by 6,000 BC. At about the
same time, the retreat of the glaciers from the mountain ranges of Europe had
created significant changes in continental air circulation, which caused the
Sahara to change from a lush grazing area into an ever-expanding desert (See Climate). The many tribes living there had to flee
for their lives. The Sea Peoples of the Sahara, living on the north coast,
who had discovered the world, ferried these migrant populations first to the
lands around the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The Sea Peoples of the east
coast and southern Arabia did the same for the eastern tribes that were then
ferried to far away places like India, Japan and Oceania. The Atlantic coast
of Europe had earlier been colonized by the masters of navigation, the
Rh-negative Berber tribes from Morocco, who established population centers in
the Bay of Biscay, west Ireland, the Hebrides of Scotland, Southern Sweden
and as far north as Arctic Norway (at Mount Komsa).
Trouble in Utopia
The first traces of dissent in the
age-old Goddess civilization were noted around 4000 BC according to
archaeologist Marija Gimbutas, somewhere in Anatolia or Southern Russia. It
happened at about the same time as the development of metalworking, the
domestication of horse and camel, and the first local excess-population
problems resulting from successful agriculture. It is likely that all these
conditions contributed to the upcoming breakdown. The Goddess civilization
had been centrally nurtured from Malta and as long as regular contact with
this center was maintained, any dissent was insignificant. The problems arose
with those tribes which had no sailing and navigation traditions, located in
regions away from salt water who therefore depended upon other tribes for
their clergy's and teachers' contacts with the central shrine on Malta.
Come to me Gilgamesh, and be my
bridegroom; grant me seed of your body, let me be your bride and you shall be
my husband. Kings, rulers and princes will bow down before you; they shall
bring you tribute from the mountains and the plain. Gilgamesh answered
glorious Ishtar, If I take you in marriage, what gifts can I give in return?
What ointment and clothing for your body? I would gladly give you bread and
all sorts of food fit for a god. I would give you wine to drink fit for a
queen, but as for making you my wife - that I will not. Your lovers have
found you like a brazier which smolders in the cold, a backdoor which keeps
out neither squall of wind nor storm, a castle which crushes the garrison,
pitch that blackens the bearer, a battering ram turned back from the enemy.
Which of your lovers did you ever love forever? Listen to me while I tell the
tale of your lovers.
Obviously the Goddess' way of life
had collapsed in Mesopotamia and patriarchy had taken over, although the
priestesses were still very much in evidence. It would be many years in the
future before a philosophy would be developed which was able to organize and
execute a devastating attack on literally all aspects of the Goddess. A Variety Pack of Deities is Invented
With the breakdown of the old
order, the Great Goddess of our ancestors was fractured into a plethora of
more or less significant goddesses, some of which were given sex changes,
others became warriors or witches, most were married off to sky-gods and
god-kings and all were placed in subservient positions. Human characters and
weaknesses of all sorts were assigned to newly invented gods and goddesses,
from alcoholism to cruelty, cheating, brawling, weirdness etc. Several
fearsome gods were associated with lightning and thunder, gods who walked and
rode horses on the clouds and whose swords and spears were lightning bolts.
This now being the age of writing, many were well documented among the
Hittites, Egyptians, Sumerians, Greeks, Romans and later the Vikings. For all
their temporary prominence, they left no impression upon the population,
which had been unable to forget the loving Goddess of the past. In fact the
new polytheistic mythology existed only in writing, having been invented by
the new clergy who wanted to destroy the ancient Goddess mythology. When the
new monotheistic religion became established, it had no trouble disposing of
the godly weirdoes, but even to this day it has not succeeded in eliminating
the ancestral Goddess from any of the "converted, or evangelized"
populations, not even from the Jews themselves, many of whom still revere
their "Shekina", and the Roman Catholics still pray to Mary. The Inverted Religion
It is not known which priesthood
it was that had the original idea of turning all the attributes of the
Goddess' faith inside out in their largely successful quest to destroy the
ancient Goddess religion. They then decided to accept this negative image of
the ancient gylanic faith as their own male-dominated religion. In doing so
they changed the semi-democratic and holistic character of the old faith into
dualism, which meant the introduction of confrontation, discord, selfishness
and guilt into all aspects of life.
"armageddon", ar.-.ma-age-ed.-.do-on.: Armageddon:
With this goal in mind, the leadership of the new religion
drew up a task list. It was decided to work towards:
Inventing The New Languages
The decision to create a variety
of new languages and scripts required highly educated scholars and schools in
which to train them. Linguistics became the first academic subject to be
taught in institutions which later evolved into our universities, a tradition
at least 4,000 years old. Confused remnants of the once great discipline of
linguistics are still being taught as dogma in our universities today, but
the ancient language invention science has been forgotten.

The genius who invented this reversal
of the ancient word order created the basics of the "family of
Indo-European languages", something none of our modern linguists have
been able to fathom, so far, although Heinrich Wagner came close. The priests thus laid the foundation for a
large number of invented languages, which looked like they were genetically
related but were only an artificial family. That the established order was
deliberately turned topsy-turvy is shown in the meaning of many important
words, which were reversed such as in:
Collision of
Two Ideologies
Archaeologist
Dr. Marija Gimbutas in her book "The Civilization of the Goddess" (p.396)
came to a somewhat different conclusion: The Indo-European society was
warlike, exogamic, patriarchal, patrilineal and patrilocal, with a strong
clannic organization and social hierarchy which gave prominence to the
warrior class. Their main gods were male and depicted as warriors. There is
no possibility that this pattern of social organization could have developed
out of the Old European matrilineal, matricentric and endogamic balanced
society. Therefore the appearance of the Indo-Europeans in Europe represents
a collosion of two ideologies, not an evolution. I took this train of thought one
step further by suggesting that this collision between ideologies was
the result of planned religious chicanery and enforced by the clergy
of all the male-dominated religions. I cannot agree with her that Indo-Europeans were involved because in my opinion the Indo-European
theory is a fallacy. Major Changes
Occurred When Male Domination Arrived
The early religion had been a
holistic one. Male and female had complemented each other in mutual respect
and a well-balanced division of labour and responsibilities. Male domination
meant that this former desirable state of affairs was turned into dualistic
confrontation between the sexes. The male wanted the respect formerly
accorded the woman, but in addition, to dominate and use and dispose at will.
The priests wanted to make sure that paternity was always known, and that
never again would the children and the children’s' inheritance be handled
through the female line. The result was that married life for many women
often became hell on earth. The German word for wife, "Frau" expresses
this mentality well; it was coined from fa-arau, afa (happy) arau (discipline), "happy
under discipline" and the Prussians' insecurity made sure that this
discipline was enforced. Here follow some more changes that were brought
about by the reversal of the Goddess' attributes.
This Artificial World
The coming of patriarchy with its insistence
on gathering riches, has removed us from living natural lives in a healthy
world. First we were part of, and inseparable from creation, but now the new
definition of the word "creation" tells us what it means:
.k.-.re-ati-on.; .k. - .re - ati - on. This indicates that the world
still existed in pristine condition when patriarchy arrived. The trouble is
that the "blessed faithful" turned greedy and soon started
plundering everything in the sea, on the land and even from the air; it
didn't take the faithful long to create a mess. In just one short century
North America has exhausted well over half of its agricultural topsoil, most
of its forest wealth and its enormous fish resources; we have polluted much
of the fresh water in our lakes and poisoned the air in many cities. North
America was pristine before patriarchy came, not very long ago. Isn't it time
that we start to pay attention to and learn from the holistic manner in which
the world environment was managed before patriarchy? Which system was more
civilized and which one gave us happier lives? If the will doesn't exist to
stop the madness of "progress", nature will send some means to stop
the population explosion, limit the greed and restore some balance between
people and the natural world. There is no "nice" way to do it. It is better to learn from the past. |
