Hi Folks, my first post here on ATS after lurking for years over various ATS threads, this one being my favorite. To keep it short - thanks to all the
contributors for keeping it alive and to Direne for thought provoking insights.
As it would appear we are at the moment in slow-burn mode in the thread, I figured it is as good a moment as any to try to chime in. Full list of
topics I'd like to further discuss would take me hours just to spell out so I will limit myself to few random thoughts that are popping now into my
head.
@Direne - if you'd be inclined to let know your thoughts on any of those - I will be much obliged
1) The Nabta Playa and Cities of the Plain (Disk) civilizations representing one of the playing fields for contact vs non-contact parties - I believe
you mentioned that on the former the information is ample and scarce on the latter. What I found out is that in fact the info on Nabta Playans is
scarce and on the cities of the plain is non-existent
Perhaps the problem is my google-fu being too weak.
The Nabta Playans are riveting enough even with scarce information with their construction of astronomical observatories preceding Stonehenge by as
much as Stonehenge precedes us (in fact it seems that most of the remains we have from them are related to observing the skies). On top, it seems they
might have been the "parent" civilization to ancient Egypt.
Cities of the plain - seems the Book of Jubilees mentions some city names (though I think it is 5 instead of 7) but hard for me to judge if it is an
offshoot of other sources (old testament?) or independent corroborating source.
Would you be able to recommend some further reading on both civs?
2) The SV groups - if I got you right the proposition made was that they originate from outside Sol-3. But they would still need some associates down
here to carry on their work I would think - should that be the case - would those individuals be doing the SV work through conscious decision or
manipulation? Should SV groups be interpreted as a party independent from both Giselians and the makers of the probes from Deneb Algedi direction?
Do you think there exists an organic Sol-3 movement with global reach and influence aimed at getting the planet back on track? I would think, despite
all their flaws and conflicted interests, the IC and tech billionaires would be the natural candidates to try and wrestle back the power from
oligarchs and corporations. Sad if it does not exist (putting for a moment aside the obvious counter-question: why I do not do it rather than waiting
for salvation from others...).
3) I believe you have made a comment on other occasion about an event which happened to Sol-3 but in a different timeline (I think it was the part
discussing Zipporah). Could you please share more color what does it even mean "different timeline"? Would this be in one of Mr Everett's many worlds?
Different place or time in our universe (which I guess assumes at least some level of cyclicality of the events)?
4) For isolate languages like Basque or Sumer - what is the story here? Probably hard to answer this in a one-size-fits-all manner but I was wondering
if the likely explanation is that those groups were simply isolated enough for a long enough time, or other peoples speaking languages from same
language group died out or were absorbed by other cultures or perhaps there is more fantastic story about their origins?
5) Both you on this here forum and the FL website more generally seem to be drawing quite heavily from the Gnostic tradition. Is that so because you
believe that it reflects our past most accurately (symbolically or literally) or do you just consider it an apt metaphor to discuss topics of interest
on this thread?
