Christ Conspiracy_ The Greatest Story Ever Sold - Acharya S [246]
Based on archaeological, anthropological, astrological and mythological evidence, A. Churchward claimed that modern humans must have existed at least 2.8 million years ago.49 While Churchward wrote several decades ago, and would thus seem to be outdated in the face of so many scientific discoveries and conclusions since then, his arguments are compelling. This estimation may not be so farfetched, in any case. In fact, in seeming accord with the Hindu chronology, which goes back millions of years, Keel reports that, "Human footprints and manmade objects were repeatedly turning up in coal mines and geological strata dating back millions of years."so
Keel also states, "Our planet is at least three billion years old and there is growing evidence that great civilizations existed here while our ancestors were still climbing trees."51
According to the current paradigm, the modern human only came into being 100,000 years ago, a figure that keeps being pushed back; however, for some reason, humans did not develop significantly for 70,000 years, when they began to paint beautiful images in caves, among other things. Nevertheless, if the human species can progress as far as it has in the past five hundred years, there is no reason it could not have done so tens of thousands of years ago. In fact, it makes no sense at all, if homo sapiens appeared 100,000 years ago, that it only reached an advanced degree of culture in the past 6-8,000 years.
The Evolution of Religion
However old it is or came to be here, the human species has a common culture going back many thousands of years. This culture included a religious and spiritual tradition that was simple and uniform, although highly detailed, because it was based on the complexities of nature. It was not, however, founded on the complexities of human beings, i.e., racism, sexism, general bigotry, warfare, etc., until humans brought themselves into it and imposed themselves on it. The proto religion focused its attention not on any person, prophet, savior or saint of a particular ethnicity or gender but upon the "Architecture" of the Grand Architect, the Vault of Heavens and the Pillars of Earth. The Grand Architect was not only Father but the "Great Mother . . . the primeval waters and source of creation," a common theme in mythologies and cosmogonies worldwide, as is the idea of a self-generated male/female entity that separates itself into "the heavens and the earth." Another common concept is that "God" is One but is represented in and by the Many. The sun and moon are "his/her" eyes, for example, and the sky "his/her" abode. "S/He" is, indeed, both the daytime and the "serpent of the night." The Grand Architect demonstrated her/his masterful skills through the precise workings of the solar system, which were not only revered by the ancient global culture but imitated on Earth in massive stoneworks that are the domain of masons, who also kept the knowledge of the sacred geometry passed to them by the Architect. Evidently, these priest-masons passionately attempted to keep "the Architect's clock," wherever they went; thus, they built celestial "computers" worldwide, and they taught the celestial mythos so that the sacred knowledge would never be lost. So passionate were they, in fact, that they took enormous pains to preserve the mythos and sacred knowledge and to make it understandable; yet, it has been ignored, disparaged and historicized in the most vulgar manner in order to allow powermongers to compete with each other. Thus, we are inheritors of not only the physical ruins of the great global civilization but the spiritual wreck as well.
