Chapter 44 Chapter 46 The Eleventh Millennium B.C.

If there were not such a realistic myth of Osiris, if this god who is famous for creating science and making laws had not brought farming activities to the Nile Valley during the allegorical period of "creating the world", then even as early as 13,000 BC to 10,000 BC In 2000, Egypt had an "early agricultural development" - considered by most historians to be the world's oldest agricultural revolution - and it would not have attracted so much attention. As discussed in the previous chapters, various Egyptian historical materials, such as the Palermo stone and the Durin papyrus, show different historical ages, and some even contradict each other.The only thing the chronologies of these sources have in common, however, is that they all agree that Osiris's "beginning" of creation, the golden age of gods ruling Egypt, took place very, very far back.Also, all the sources agree on the extreme emphasis on 11,000 BC.11,000 BC, which is 11 millennia before BC, is the age of Leo from the perspective of precession, and it is also the time when the huge ice sheet in the northern hemisphere is melting on a large scale.

Perhaps by accident, since the 1970s, geographers, archaeologists, and prehistoric scholars such as Michael Hoffman, Fekri Hassan, and Fred Wendorff have successively put forward new arguments, Prove that 11,000 BC is indeed an important date in Egyptian prehistory.During this period, the Nile lowlands experienced several large-scale floods, which caused serious local damage.Hassan also speculates that long-term disasters, which intensified by about 10,500 BC (occurring regularly and continued until about 9,000 BC), wiped out the fledgling agricultural experiments. In any case, whatever the cause, the Egyptian agricultural experimentation was completely terminated around 11,000 BC, and there was no sign of recovery for the next 5,000 years.

alien revolution Egypt's so-called "Paleolithic agricultural revolution" (Paleolithic agricul tural revolution) has many puzzling aspects.The following are quotations from general textbooks (Egypt before The Pharaohs by Hoffman, and Prehistory of the Nile Valley by Wendolf and Schids) on the Ice Age At the end of the period, we know some descriptions of the very limited development of Egyptian agriculture: ①Shortly after 13,000 BC, Paleolithic tools such as stone mortars and small sickle blades gleaming at the front end appeared (quartz was glued to the small sickle blades).The purpose of the stone mortar is obviously to prepare plant food.

②In exactly the same period, fish remains suddenly disappeared in many ancestor sites along rivers, indicating that the importance of fish in dietary life suddenly decreased. "Fish is no longer an important food, which has a lot to do with the emergence of a large number of grains on the ground. Investigating related pollen, we can find that the grains grown at that time were most likely barley. However, it is interesting that, Here the barley pollen began to appear shortly before the first settlers entered the area..."③ ③In the late Paleolithic period, agriculture in the Nile Valley appeared suddenly and declined extremely suddenly.The most puzzling thing is that shortly after 10500 BC, the stone mortars and small sickle blades that were frequently used in the past suddenly disappeared, and the whole Egypt began to use stone tools for hunting, fishing, and gathering that existed before the Paleolithic Age.

Although the evidence is incomplete, we should already be able to see the whole picture: Egypt began to enter a golden age due to abundant grain production in 13,000 BC, but by around 10,500 BC, this sudden agricultural culture suddenly changed Pause, disappear.After the introduction of barley cultivation, several new farming tribes suddenly emerged in the Nile Valley, and the people of each tribe used efficient tools and methods for farming.But around 11,000 BC, those people returned to their primitive life forms. Faced with such information, we can't help but use our imagination to search for answers in the mystery.However, the answer thus obtained is pure speculation and has no credibility.The only thing that is credible is that none of all the materials can prove that the Egyptian agricultural revolution that took place in the Paleolithic Age was germinated, grown, and thrived locally.On the contrary, from various indications, agriculturalization may be a revolution brought in by outsiders, suddenly stopped due to environmental mutations, just like its beginning, after the flood of the Nile River.

What was the climate like? We have already mentioned in the previous chapters that the Sahara is a young desert geographically. Until 10,000 BC, it was still a verdant prairie as far as Upper Egypt, with flashing lakes and wild animals playing everywhere. .As for the northern delta, there are many large and fertile islands.Overall, the climate was cooler, cloudier, and rainier then than it is now.Indeed, in the 2,000 to 3,000 years before 10,500 BC or the 1,000 years after that, it rained, rained, and rained continuously until the great flood came and brought about great environmental changes.After the flood, the climate drier, and the dry period lasted until 7000 BC, followed by a quasi-rainy period in the Neolithic Age for 1000 years.The ensuing 2,000 years of temperate, rainy climates created an environment suitable for agriculture: "During that time, desert plants bloomed, and large numbers of people moved into places that were otherwise uninhabitable."

However, around 3000 BC, during the birth of the Egyptian dynasty, the climate changed again and became drier until today. The above description is the background of the enigma of Egyptian civilization: the flood from 13,000 BC to 9,500 BC, and then the dry period to 7,000 BC, after a period of rain (gradually more frequent, but still not frequent) By 3000 BC, it returned to the long dry period until now. The performance time of this mysterious historical drama has been extended to more than 10,000 years under the background of climate change.But if we focus on unraveling when the "Golden Age" occurred, we should be targeting the mysterious period of agricultural experimentation between 13,000 BC and 10,500 BC.

invisible connection That period was very important not only for ancient Egypt, but also for neighboring peoples.As we have seen in Part 4 of this book, during this time the weather has undergone dramatic changes, sea levels have risen, the ground has shaken, floods have come, volcanoes have Many myths of catastrophes that exist in the world all take this era as the background. And is it possible that this era is really an era of coexistence of humans and gods, as the myth says? The god of the Bolivian plateau is called Viracocha, and is closely related to the city of Ti Huanaco, which was probably built with megaliths before the flood occurred in 11,000 BC.According to Professor Arthur Posnanski, after the flood receded, "the plateau culture not only failed to reappear, but entered a comprehensive decline".

Of course, Posnanski's conclusions are quite controversial, and we must evaluate the review theoretically and positively.What interests us, however, is that the civilizations of the Bolivian plateau and Egypt were also destroyed by the Great Flood around 11,000 BC.In both places, there are signs of agricultural experiments using imported techniques first, and then being abandoned.At the same time, there are many remains of unrecognized age in both places.For example, Professor Posnansky believes that the Puma Gate and Karasasaya Square in Tiwanako may have been built 15,000 years ago, while John West and Boston University geologist Rob Xiuqi It is respectively proved that the megalithic buildings in Egypt, such as Oshirien, the Sphinx, and the riverside temple of King Kafra in Kesha, should have been completed in 11,000 BC.

The beautiful and mysterious megalithic buildings of Egypt and South America, the gods Osiris and Viracocha who taught human civilization, both cultures occurred between the agricultural experiments of 13000 BC and 10000 BC. Would there be some Invisible connections exist? rewrite the history of human civilization From the cemetery, we drove from Abydos to Luthor to meet John West.I have a feeling that if the central issue of the building's age can be resolved, all other questions will be resolved.In other words, if West's geological research can prove that the Sphinx has a history of more than 12,000 years, then the history of human civilization must be rewritten.And in the process of rewriting the history of human civilization, other "fingerprints of God" that were considered weird in the past and keep appearing all over the world will start to make sense...

When West presented his findings in 1992 at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at least Mark Lehner, an Egyptologist at the University of Chicago and director of the Giza Mapping Project, ) also participated in the discussion, and to the surprise of all participants, Reynard was unable to present a strong counterargument on the spot.He concluded for West's thesis: If you think that the age of the Sphinx is between 10,000 BC and 9,000 BC, it shows that you think that the level of Egyptian civilization must be very high at that time, high enough to be able to make the Sphinx.As an archaeologist, the question I have to ask is: If the Sphinx was built then, where did the rest of civilization go? Reynard actually missed the point. If the Sphinx was indeed made between 10,000 BC and 9,000 BC, West doesn't need to prove that Egypt was already highly civilized at that time, it's ancient Egyptologists and archaeologists who have to explain why they got it wrong Yes, and I have been wrong for so long, so wrongly, and so stubbornly. However, can West prove that the Sphinx is ancient? note ①Another example is what Sicyrus (1st century B.C.) recorded what the Egyptian eminent monk told him: "From Osiris and Isis to the reign of Alexander, the period was more than 10,000 years...Alexander established a The city that bears his name."
