Odyssey Dawn

I hear that people are into the occult on this website.

Nah.

Lovely, but was there a specific point to posting this? A review? An opinion? Anything? Hello?

OPERATION ODYSSEY DAWN

A very astute observation OP!

The description of "The Dawn of Man" scene from 2001 A Space Odyssey:

A tribe of herbivorous ape-like early humans is foraging for food in the African desert. A leopard kills one member, and another tribe of man-apes drives them from their water hole. Defeated, they sleep overnight in a small exposed rock crater,and awake to find a black monolith has appeared in front of them. They approach it shrieking and jumping, and eventually touch it cautiously. Soon after, one of the apes (Daniel Richter) realizes how to use a bone as both a tool and a weapon, which the apes then use to kill prey for food. The next morning, they reclaim control of the water hole from the other tribe by killing its leader. Triumphant, the ape leader throws his weapon-tool into the air, switching via match cut from a bone to an orbital satellite millions of years in the future.

What are the governments of the world trying to say by naming this war attack "Operation Odyssey Dawn"?

Are they admitting that they are trying to kill Libya's leader?
Are they hinting that they have some sort of advanced alien technology?
Are they admitting that after this war action, something BIG is about to happen?

Are the next few years going to "awaken" man kind?

Just what is it in the Libyan desert that they are going after?
