Manetho, the Boskops, and Our Future

Earth temperatures over its 4.6 billion year life are shown in the chart above from "DynamicalPaleoclimatology: Generalized Theory of Global Climate Change" by Barry Saltzman (Academic Press,New York, 2002, fig. 1-3) via John Baez's Temperature web page dated 1 October 2006.

From the two charts shown below from "Global Climate Change Student Guide" by Joe Buchdahl (aric,Manchester Metropolitan University 1999) it appears that sea levels for the past 150 million years

show that most of that period, up until about 20 million years ago, Earth was warm and sea levels were high- as shown by this map from a University of Arizona Chicxulub crater web page for 65 million years agowhen asteroid impact killed the dinosaurs and cooled the Earth somewhat



and that the cooling of Earth and lowering of sea levels further down to their present low level coincidedwith the evolutionary emergence of Dolphins and other large-brained Cetaceans about 20 million years ago,

and that sea levels for the past 150,000 years, the time of evolutionary emergence of the basic currenthuman form of mitochondrial mtDNA,

show that an Ice Age of about 150,000 years ago ended around 130,000 years ago with sea levels rising tonearly present levels,

then declining a bit with a significant dip marking the Toba Volcano eruption in Sumatra about 71,000 to74,000 years ago, which may have killed off all but a few thousand of the humans then on Earth,

then, after a brief post-Toba warming of about 60,000 to 50,000 years ago, a significant cooling around50,000 years ago coincided with the evolutionary emergence of the basic current human form of Y-chromosome DNA,

then, around 35,000 years ago, at the beginning of Manetho's rule of Gods on Earth and theevolutionary emergence of the Boskops, an Ice Age almost as deep as that of 150,000 years ago,

then, around 20,000 years ago, at the beginning of Manetho's rule of DemiGods and Spirits of theDead, an end to the cooling trend and a relatively constant low sea level as shown in Eurasia / North Africain this image from "The Times Atlas of World History" (Times Books (4th ed) 1993) in which red shows



the extended land area due to low sea levels about 20,000 years ago, and green and yellow show areasfavorable for human habitation in wet and dry periods, respectively (the two turqouise squares show thelocations of the Sphinx-Giza complex at the mouth of the Nile River and of Gora Belukha in Central Asia,which may be known in China as Kunlun Shan, home of Xi Wang Mu, the Queen of the West, and in Indiaas Su Meru, home of Indra)

and

then, around 11,600 years ago, at the beginning of Manetho's rule of Man and the evolutionarydisappearance of the Boskops, a warming trend leading to the present warm interval sea levels.

The image below from "The Toba Volcano" by George Weber atwww.andaman.org/BOOK/originals/Weber-Toba/ch3_explosion/textr3.htm ) describes the Toba eruption:



Perhaps 1,000 million tons of aerosols were put into the stratosphere. According to a Discover article: "...people all over the world are amazingly similar. Some anthropologists believe that this genetic homogeneityis the result of a "population bottleneck" -- that at some time in the past our ancestors went through an eventthat greatly reduced our numbers and thus our genetic variation. Based on estimates of mutation rates, PennState geneticist Henry Harpending says the bottleneck happened sometime after ... 100,000 years ago andbefore a population increase ... around 50,000 years ago. Now archeologist Stan Ambrose of the Universityof Illinois has linked Harpending's theory with geologic evidence to explain what caused the bottleneck ...Mount Toba in Sumatra ... the largest volcanic eruption in more than 400 million years. Toba buried most ofIndia under ash and must have darkened skies over a third of the hemisphere for weeks. ... a six-year globalvolcanic winter ensued, caused by light-reflecting sulfur particles lingering in the atmosphere. Averagesummer temperatures dropped by 21 degrees at high latitudes, and 75 percent of the Northern Hemisphere'splants may have died. ... A thousand-year ice age began ... The effect on humans, who had been enjoyinga relatively warm period, must have been devastating. ... Perhaps only a few thousand people ... survived....".

Nicholas Wade, in a 7 December 1999 article in The New York Times, says: "... Dr. Richard G. Klein ofStanford University and others believe that some major genetically based neurological change, like thedevelopment of language, occurred about 50,000 years ago. ... A ... genetic survey... drawing on DNAdata from 50 ethnic groups around the world, concludes that the ancestral population from which the firstemigrants came may have numbered as few as 2,000 people. ... Another new genetic study, by Dr. MarcusFeldman of Stanford University and others ... looked at segments of the Y chromosome ... they concludedthat the most recent common ancestor of all these Y's was carried by a man who lived only 40,000 years orso ago. ... The 40,000-year date, which has a large range of uncertainty, is much more recent thanothers, in part because the earlier estimates were forced to assume, quite unrealistically, that the size of thehuman population remained constant throughout prehistory. Dr. Feldman assumed an exponentiallyexpanding population, which yields a more recent date of origin....".

About 36,525 years ago (a date that I sometimes approximate as 35,000 years ago):

the Geminga shock wave hit Earth;

the Late Wisconsin Glaciation of Earth began,;and

According to the Human History Chronology of Manetho * (Egyptianhistorian ca. 343 BC)

about 36,525 years ago Gods on Earth began to rule Earth, rulinguntil

about 22,625 years ago when Demigods and Spirits of the Dead(followers of Horus) succeeded them, ruling until

about 11,600 years ago Mortal Humans began to rule Earth,

http://www.discover.com/dec_issue/breakglobal.html

http://www.nytimes.com/



ruling up to the present day.

It is interesting that time that the Earth was ruled by Gods, Demigods and Spirits of the Dead, about 36,525 -11,600 = 24,925 years, is roughly the time of one Earth precession period, which is also roughly thetravel time of a light beam from the center of our Galaxy to our Sun.

Could the Boskop have been the Gods - Demigods that ruled Earth during the 24,925years from 36,525 years ago to the beginning of the Holocence about 11,600 years ago

?

According to the book Big Brain by Gary Lynch and Richard Granger (Macmillan 2008):

the Boskop "... walked the plains of southern Africa ... 30,000 ... to ... 10,000 yearsago ...

[

(image from www.dwaf.gov.za web site) ]

they were about our size ... but their brains were far larger than our own. ...".

This image is from a 29 April 2008 ebcak.com post by adminebcak:



According to a 28 December 2009 Discover Magazine article by Gary Lynch and RichardGranger:

"... In the autumn of 1913, two farmers ... uncovered ... hominid skull fragments ... whiledigging a drainage ditch ...[in]... Boskop, a small town about 200 miles inland from the eastcoast of South Africa. ... Boskop's brain size is about 30 percent larger than our own - that is, a1,750-cc brain to our average of 1,350 cc. And that leads to an increase in the prefrontal cortexof a staggering 53 percent. If these principled relations among brain parts hold true, thenBoskops would have had not only an impressively large brain but an inconceivably largeprefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is closely linked to our highest cognitive functions ...possibly the jump from ourselves to Boskops generated new, qualitatively different mentalcapacities. ...

These [Boskop] people had small, childlike faces. ... A typical current European adult, forinstance, has a face that takes up roughly one-third of his overall cranium size. Boskop has aface that takes up only about one-fifth of his cranium size, closer to the proportions of a child.Examination of individual bones confirmed that the nose, cheeks, and jaw were all childlike. ...

Just about 100 miles from the original Boskop discovery site, further excavations were oncecarried out by Frederick FitzSimons. ... The site had been at one time a communal living center,perhaps tens of thousands of years ago. There were many collected rocks, leftover bones, andsome casually interred skeletons of normal-looking humans. But to one side of the site, in aclearing, was a single, carefully constructed tomb, built for a single occupant - perhaps the tombof a leader or of a revered wise man. His remains had been positioned to face the rising sun. Inrepose, he appeared unremarkable in every regard...except for a giant skull. ...".

The Boskop skull reminds me of Teddy Bears - maybe that is why some people like Teddy Bears so much.


From what human population did the Boskop Gods on Earth appear?

According to the National Geographic Genographic project: "... about 150,000 to 170,000 years ago, awoman was born from whom we are all descended. ... "Mitochondrial Eve" ... was the only female who haddescendants that are now living in the present day. ...... mtDNA ...

mtDNA haplogroup L0 first appeared around 100,000 years ago ... Many L0 individuals in America sharemitochondrial lineages with individuals from Mozambique. ... South America ... has a markedly higherproportion of L0 individuals ...

Y-chromosome ... haplogroup... M2 ...[originated]... .in Africa around 20,000 to 30,000 years ago ... thentraveled south to sub-Saharan Africa ...

Maternally inherited mtDNA, governing the mitochondrial sub-cell of human cells, evolved to itsbasic current human form during the Ice Age of about 150,000 years ago, and the L0 humansemerged somewhat after that Ice Age ended around 130,000 years ago.

Paternally inherited Y-choromosome DNA, which along with X-chromosomal and non-sex-specificautosomal DNA governs the fundamental structural code of human cells, evolved to its basic currenthuman form somewhat after the population bottleneck of the Toba Volcanic Eruption about 71,000 to74,000 years ago.

The Boskop subpopulation likely emerged from the L0 / M2 humans around thebeginnning of the Ice Age around 35,000 years ago.

Perhaps the Boskop were who Richard Poe had in mind when in his book "Black Spark, White Fire" (Prima1997) he quoted Diodorus of Sicily, author of Bibliotheca Historica, lived in the time of Julius Caesar andAugustus (Encyclopaedia Britannica). as saying:

"Now the Ethiopians ... were the first of all men. ... the Egyptians are colonists sent out by theEthiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony ... Osiris ... gathered together a greatarmy, with the intention of visiting all the inhabited earth and teaching the race of men how tocultivate ... for he supposed that if he made men give up their savagery and adopt a gentlemanner of life he would receive immortal honors. ...".



What "new, qualitatively different mental capacities" might the Boskops havepossessed?

Lynch and Granger, in their 28 December 2009 Discover Magazine article, say: "... We internally activatemany thoughts at once, but we can retrieve only one at a time. Could the Boskop brain have achieved theability to retrieve one memory while effortlessly processing others in the background, a split-screeneffect enabling far more power of attention? ...", which might be related to the possible ability ofDolphins, with their two sub-brains acting together as a quantum computer interference device (similar to adevice proposed by Andrew Gray) to give a perspective Dolphin vision of the Worlds of the QuantumMany-Worlds.

Another (possibly related) type of enhanced mental capacity might occur if the Boskop produced increasedamounts of endogenous DMT.

According to "Endogenous hallucinogens as ligands of the trace amine receptors: a possible role in sensoryperception." by J. V. Wallach (Med Hypotheses. 2009 Jan;72(1):91-4. Epub 2008 Sep 20): "... The recentdiscovery of the trace amine associated receptors and the activity of DMT and other hallucinogeniccompounds at these receptor sites leads to the hypothesis that the endogenous hallucinogens act asneurotransmitters of a subclass of these trace amine receptors ... the trace amine receptors along with theirendogenous hallucinogen ligands may serve an endogenous role in mediating sensory perception in themammalian central nervous system. Thus the theory proposed states that these compounds act as trueendogenous hallucinogenic transmitters acting in regions of the central nervous system involved in sensoryperception. ...".

Endogenous DMT need not be produced in the brain itself (and so could be produced in such organs as thepineal glant), as noted by Michael S. Jacob, David E. Prest in their article "Endogenous psychoactivetryptamines reconsidered: an anxiolytic role for dimethyltryptamine" (Medical Hypotheses (2004)) wherethey said: "... DMT production could occur outside the brain and still have activity in the brain becauseDMT can readily cross the blood brain barrier. This would be different from most neurotransmitters, whichdo not have significant blood&endash;brain-barrier permeability and thus must be produced within thebrain. ...".

Such endogenous DMT enhanced perception might have given the Boskops mental/spiritual abilities such asthose described by Terence McKenna in his May 1993 OMNI magazine interview: "... In his 1992 bookFood of the Gods, McKenna delineates a radical history of drugs and human evolution ... extolling thevirtues of psilocybin mushrooms and DMT (dimethyltryptamine) ... DMT ... Dimethyltryptamine is ... aserotonin agonist; that is, it mimics the neurotransmitter serotonin ...

MCKENNA: ... From 75,000 [ the time of the Toba Volcanic eruption ] to about 15,000 yearsago [ near the end of the last Ice Age ], there was a kind of human paradise on Earth. ...Nobody went more than three or four weeks before they were redissolved into pure feeling andboundary dissolution. ...

DMT drops you into a place where the stress is on a transcending language. ... You burst into aspace. ... The world is not a single, one-dimensional, forward-moving, causal, connected thing,but some kind of interdimensional nexus. ... entities are there ... They are teaching something.Theirs is a higher dimensional language that condenses as a visible syntax. ... they ... offer you



something ... so beautiful, so intricately wrought, so something else that cannot be said inEnglish, that just gazing on this thing, you realize such an object is impossible. ... The objectgenerates other objects, and it's all happening in a scene of wild merriment and confusion. ...[compare El Aleph, written in 1945 by Jorge Luis Borges]

Something in an unseen dimension is acting as an attractor for our forward movement inunderstanding. ... It's a point in the future that affects us in the present. ... Our model thateverything is pushed by the past into the future, by the necessity of causality, is wrong. Thereare actual attractors ahead of us in time -- like the gravitational field of a planet. Once you fallunder an attractor's influence, your trajectory is diverted. ... I think [that the attractor has a kindof intelligence]...".

What killed off the Boskop around 11,600 years ago ?

Around11,600 years ago, about when the Vela X supernova was seen in Earth, a very sudden (50 years orso) warming event ended the Ice Age and marked the start of the HOLOCENE AGE of warm climate andglacial retreat, and rising sea levels flooded much productive land creating shortages of food andconsequently competition for available food, and what Terence McKenna called "tooth-and-clawdominance". As Gary Lynch and Richard Granger said in their 28 December 2009 Discover Magazinearticle: "... human history has often been a history of savagery. ... Perhaps the preternaturally civilizedBoskops had no chance against our barbarous ancestors ...".

Not only might the "preternaturally civilized" Boskops have been at a physical disadvantage in fightingsmaller-brain humans, but the social organizations useful in forming successful armies to seize resourcesmight tend to create evolutionary pressure in favor of humans with less creativity and more blind-faithobedience to authority. As examples from the dominant power of the late 20th century, the USA Armytrained soldiers that "there is the right way, the wrong way, and the Army way, and you will do it the Armyway" because "you can't fight the Green Machine", and the USA Navy would disqualify sailors fromworking on nuclear power plants of ships and submarines if their test results showed too much creativity.

Further, as John Hawks said on his weblog on 30 March 2008, "... brains are [energetically] expensive ...brains take a long time to mature ... brains require high protein and fat consumption ...", all of which factorswould work against the Boskop in an age of scarcity after about 11,600 years ago,

so it is not surprising that John Hawks also noted that "... "... there has been a reduction in the average brainsize in South Africa during the last 10,000 years, and there have been parallel reductions in Europe andChina -- pretty much everywhere we have decent samples of skeletons, it looks like brains have beenshrinking ...".

As Terence McKenna in his May 1993 OMNI magazine interview: "... For 10,000 years ... we've pursued anagenda of beasts and demons ... If history goes off endlessly into the future, it will be about scarcity,preservation of privilege, forced control of populations, the ever-more-sophisticated use of ideology toenchain and delude people. ...".

All this is consistent with the Vedic view (see nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu/~ghi/vcchap.html) of what happened afterabout 11,600 years ago, into the Bronze and Iron Ages and on through the present Industrial Age: "...prior to


the beginning of Kali-yuga ... all living beings were on a higher average level than they are at present, andadvanced beings such as demigods and great sages regularly visited the earth. ... Once the Kali-yuga began,demigods and higher beings greatly curtailed communications with people on the earth, and the generalsensory level of human beings also declined. ... due to the lack of feedback from higher sources and thenatural cheating propensity of human beings, the traditions ... became more and more garbled ... the presentstage of civilization was reached, in which old traditions are widely viewed as useless mythology, andpeople seek knowledge entirely through the use of their current, limited senses.".

What legacy did the Boskop leave for the Era of the Rule of Man of the past 11,600years ?

Although all the Boskop may have been physically killed off around 11,600 years ago, the remaininghumans could have picked up some of the Boskop language and culture. As to language, the language ofAfricans most closely related to the Boskop may shed light on Boskop language. The language characteristicof the South African Boskop region is the KhoiSan group, as shown in this image from Wikipedia

According to "History of Click-Speaking Populations of Africa Inferred from mtDNA and Y ChromosomeGenetic Variation" (Molecular Biology and Evolution 2007 24(10):2180-2195) by Tishkoff et al: "... SouthAfrican Khoisan (SAK) ... languages ...[include]... Khwe ...[and]... !Kung ...

frequencies (%) of ... mtDNA haplogroup... L0d ... in ... !Xun/Kwe ...[of]... South Africa ...[is]... 61 ...frequencies (%) of ... Y chromosome haplogroup... M2 ... in ... Kwe ...[of]... South Africa ...[is]... 54 ...frequencies (%) of ... Y chromosome haplogroup... M2 ... in ... !Kung ...[of]... South Africa ...[is]... 39...".

According to http://countrystudies.us/south-africa/51.htm "... The San hunters and gatherers who occupiedsouthern Africa for several thousand years organized their society into small kinship-based villages, oftenincluding fewer than fifty people. The San economy developed out of the efficient use of the environment;their diet included a wide array of birds, animals, plants, and, among coastal populations, fish and shellfish.The San espoused generally egalitarian values and recognized few leadership roles, except that of religiousspecialist, or diviner. ... in the 1990s ... All remaining Khoisan speakers ... are believed to be San, living inthe Kalahari Desert region in the Northern Cape and North-West Province. The ... South Africa ...government has no accurate count of their numbers, although it is generally believed that larger numbers ofSan live in Botswana and Namibia. ...". Elizabeth Culotta and Brooks Hanson, in the Introduction "FirstWords" to Science 27 February 2004, said: "... linguistic and genetic clues suggest that ... the firstlanguage ... was rich with clicking and sucking noises now heard only in a few corners of Africa (seePennisi's story on p. 1319) ...". According to "Language ecology and photographic sound in the McWorld"by John Wynne in Organised Sound11(1):45-54 (Cambridge University Press 2006): "... Khoisan languagesare highly complex: 'in



grammatical and structural terms, [they] are world class competitors in structural complexity' ... !Xoo...[has]... forty-eight distinct click variations [ 48 = root vectors of F4 ] and some eighty-three differentways of starting a word with a click, this language represents 'something like a maximum for humanlinguistic behaviour' ... there are plenty of examples of languages acquiring clicks from others, but none oflanguages losing them. ...

According to The Story of Human Language by John McWhorter (The Teaching Company 2004): "... TheKhoi-San languages ... are about 50 ... they do not form a tidy group as, for example, Indo-European does.There is barely a typical "Khoi-San" grammar - some bristle with case endings like Latin, while others aremore "naked" like Chinese, and there are not many words that appear in similar guises in all or even manyof them. This suggests that these languages are quite ancient, having diverged over a vast amount of time. ...it is very hard to conceive of how clicks could emerge in a language. It may be that the clicks were presentin the first language(s) and have disappeared almost everywhere but where they originally existed. ... Thus,the click languages may be the descendants of the first one. ...".

The San Click-Language may have inherited its complex structure from an OriginalHuman Proto-Language of the Boskop.

As to culture, it may be that IFA Divination, which encodes

the structure the 256 basic Cellular Automata;the structure of real Clifford algebras through 256-dimensional Cl(8) and 8-periodicity,the structure of Lie algebras including E8, E6, and F4;the structure of Jordan-type algebras such as J3(O), J4(Q), Freudenthal Fr3(O), and Brown Br3(O);andthe structure of 78 Tarot cards and 52 conventional cards

was inherited by humans in Africa from the Boskop.

Can the Boskop Cultural Heritage influence the Future ofHumanity ?

Could Boskopian IFA Divination Structures represent what Terence McKenna described in his May 1993OMNI magazine interview as "... a higher dimensional language that condenses as a visible syntax. ...something ... so beautiful, so intricately wrought ... The object generates other objects ...", reminiscent of ElAleph, written in 1945 by Jorge Luis Borges ?

If so, then Boskopian IFA Divination Structures could act as Terence McKenna's Attractor

"... Something in an unseen dimension is acting as an attractor for our forward movement inunderstanding. ... It's a point in the future that affects us in the present. ... Our model thateverything is pushed by the past into the future, by the necessity of causality, is wrong. Thereare actual attractors ahead of us in time -- like the gravitational field of a planet. Once you fall



under an attractor's influence, your trajectory is diverted. ... I think [that the attractor has a kindof intelligence]..."

and its influence of the Future of Humanity could be as Terence McKenna described:

"... If history goes off endlessly [as it has been doing the past 11,600 years or so] into the future,it will be about scarcity, preservation of privilege, forced control of populations, the ever-more-sophisticated use of ideology to enchain and delude people.

We are at the breakpoint.

It's like when a woman comes to term. At a certain point, if the child is not severed from themother and launched into its own separate existence, toxemia will set in and create a hugemedical crisis.

The mushrooms said clearly, "When a species prepares to depart for the stars, the planet will beshaken to its core."

All evolution has pushed for this moment, and there is no going back. What lies ahead is adimension of such freedom and transcendence, that once in place, the idea of returning to thewomb will be preposterous.

We will live in the imagination.

We will quickly become unrecognizable to our former selves because we're now defined by ourlimitations: the laws of gravity; the need to eat, excrete, and make money.

We have the will to expand infinitely into pleasure, caring, attention, and connectedness. Ifnothing more -- and it's a lot more -- it's permission to hope. ...".

Comparison of Manetho Chronology with Mesopotamian Chronology of Berossos andwith Vedic Chronology:

According to "Berossos and Manetho" by Gerald P. Verbrugghe and John M. Wickersham (Michigan 1996,2001)

"... Only two men partially succeeded in preserving the old Mesopotamia and Egypt for the newGreek Mesopotamia and Egypt. Berossos wrote a history of Babylonia in Greek, and Manethowrote a history of Egypt in Greek. Unfortunately, their works have not survived from antiquity...[and]... neither Berossos nor Manetho insprired successors who would build on the historyeach had written ... we are totally dependent on what survives [in secondary sources] fromBerossos and Manetho for an organized attempt to present the entire history of ancientBabylonia and ancient Egypt



Manetho ... was living and active ... when the successors of Alexander the Great had becomekings in their own right and own name ... [Syncellus asserts]... that Manetho's work (specificallythe History of Egyp) appeared at about the same time as or slightly after that of Berossos ...

Berossos was born during Alexander's reign over Babylon ... between 330 and 323 B.C. ... hepublished his History of Babylonia in Greek ... most likely around 290 B.C. for the Macedonianking Antiochos I ...".

Manetho's Rule on Earth of Gods, Demigods and Spirits of the Dead covered the period of about 24,925years (roughly the time of one Earth precession period and also roughly the travel time of a light beamfrom the Center of our Galaxy to our Sun)

from about 36,525 years agountil about 11,600 years ago (the time of the Great Flood at the beginning of our Warm Interval in ourIce Age).

As for Berossos, in "Berossos and Manetho" Gerald P. Verbrugghe and John M. Wickersham say "...Berossos reports, according to Apollidoros, that there were ten kings friom Aloros, the first king, toXisouthros, under whom, he says, the ... Great Flood took place ... The times of this rule of these kings hereckoned as 120 saroi ... the Babylonian saros ... consists of 3,600 years .... ". Therefore, the total period forthe Berossos chronology analagous to Manetho's Gods, Demigod and Spirits of the Dead was about432,000 years, giving for the Berossos chronology

from about 443,600 years agountil about 11,600 years ago (the time of the Great Flood at the beginning of our Warm Interval in ourIce Age).

Can Manetho's Antediluvian Period of 24,925 years

be reconciled with Berossos's Antediluvian Period of 432,000 years ?

Feuerstein, Kak, and Frawley, in their book In Search of the Cradle of Civilization (Quest 1995), say "...The principal and, taken in its totality, the oldest of the four Vedic hymnbodies is the Rig-Veda. ... TheSanskrit word ric, which for euphonic reasons is changed to rig, means literally "praise". ... The Sanskritword veda means literally "knowledge" or "wisdom". ... The Rig-Veda is the oldest book in the Sanskritlanguage ... More than that, if we are correct, it is the oldest book in the world ...".

Therefore, it seems likely to me that Babylonia of Berossos inherited its chronology from the older Vediccivilization of India, which itself had direct contact via the Indian Ocean (the map below is adapted from"Past Worlds, The Times Atlas of Archaeology" (Crescent Books 1995))



with the oldest civilization on Earth - Africa, whose culture, including IFA Divination, was not preserved inwriting.

It also seems likely that Babylonians such as Berossos may not have inherited and used the oldest, mostfundamental version of Vedic cosmology, but instead have used a later, not so fundamental version, such asthat described by Ronnie Gale Dreyer in her book "Vedic Astrology" (Weiser 1997):

"... The Indian system of epochs (known as Yugas) ... is made up of four ... eras which, whenadded together, comprise Maha Yuga (literally "great age"). Consisting of 4,320,000 years,Maha Yuga is divided into ratios of 4:3:2:1 as follows:

Krtia Yuga (Golden Age) 1,728,000 years = 4Treta Yuga (Silver Age) 1,296,000 years = 3Dvapara Yuga (Copper Age) 864,000 years = 2Kali Yuga (Earthen [Bronze, Iron, etc] Age) 432,000 years = 1 ...".

So, it appears to me that the 432,000 year Antediluvian Period of Berossos was imported from Vedic Indiathe Earthen Age Kali Yuga part of the Maha Yuga, leading to the question:

What was the true original Vedic fundamental Maha Yuga ?

According to John Major Jenkins in his 2001-2002 paper "The Solstice Gateways and the Polar-to-SolarShift":

"... My analysis of the yuga timing question ... began with the first Vedic source of commentaryon the yuga doctrine, the Laws of Manu. That ancient text implicates a 24,000-year period forthe yugas, clearly a reference to the precession of the equinoxes.

The larger numbers generated in some yuga calculations are usually base-ten multiples of thekey yuga numbers ... and derived either from an inappropriate excitement over generating "bignumbers" or from an interest in speculating about very large cosmic cycles.

However, let's stick to the Laws of Manu. The Hindu swami, Sri Yukteswar, in his little bookThe Holy Science (originally written around 1895), explains the Vedic and Hindu ideas relatedto the yuga doctrine as found in the Laws of Manu. The 24,000-year period, following thedevayana / pitriyana doctrine of ascending and descending phases of all temporal processes, isdivided into two halves. One ascends ... and the other descends away from it. One extremeindicates a Golden Age, the other extreme indicates a very Dark Age. Each half is divided into



four ages, with the following numerological scheme:

Golden Age = 4800 yearsSilver Age = 3600 years Bronze Age = 2400 yearsIron Age (Kali Yuga) = 1200 years

The total equals the half cycle of 12,000 years, one-half of a precession cycle. ...

One of the oldest writings in Vedic literature comes from a pseudo-historical god-man calledManu. René Guénon pointed out that Manu belongs to a family of related archetypal figures,which include Melchezidek, Metatron, St Michael, Gabriel, and Enoch. As an angelicinspiration for the rebirth of humanity at the dawn of a new era, or manvantara, Manu is theprimal law-giver, and his laws were recorded in the extremely ancient Vedic text called theLaws of Manu ... there is a section that deals with the ancient Vedic doctrine of World Ages -the yugas. Manu indicates that a period of 24,000 years - clearly a reference to precession -consists of a series of four yugas or ages, each shorter and spiritually darker than the last. ...".

If Berossos had used the 24,000 year true Vedic Maha Yoga of the Laws of Manu,

then the Babylonian Antediluvian Period would have been

from about 35,600 years ago, Ascendingto an Ascending Golden Age until about 30,800 years ago, then still Ascendingto an Ascending Silver Age until about 27,200 years ago, then still Ascendingto an Ascending Bronze Age until about 24,800 years ago, then still Ascendingto an Ascending Iron Age until about 23,600 years ago, then Descendingto a Descending Golden Age until about 18,800 years ago, then still Descendingto a Descending Silver Age until about 15,200 years ago, then still Descendingto a Descending Bronze Age until about 12,800 years ago, then still Descendingto a Descending Iron Age until about 11,600 years ago (the time of the Great Flood at the beginningof our Warm Interval in our Ice Age)

which is substantially consistent with Manetho's Antediluvian Period

from about 36,525 years ago, lasting about 13,900 years of the Rule of Gods on Earth,until about 22,625 years ago, lasting about 11,025 years of Rule by Demigods and Spirits of the Dead,until about 11,600 years ago (the time of the Great Flood at the beginning of our Warm Interval in ourIce Age)

if you consider that Manetho's transition from the Rule of Gods on Earth took place during the DescendingGolden Age from about 23,600 years ago to about 18,800 years ago, so that the Demigods and Spirits of theDead were ruling Earth at the time of Maximal Glaciation of the Last Ice Age as indicated in this map ofEarth as of 18,000 years ago from Steven Stanley's book "Earth and Life Through Time" (Freeman (2nd ed)1989)



at which time sea levels were about 85 meters lower than now.

Around 11,600 years ago, at the conclusion of the Rule of the Demigods and Spirits of the Dead, justbefore the present Warm Interval ended the Last Ice Age, the Rule of Man on Earth began. Roughly at thesame time, about 11,400 years ago, a supernova exploded in the constellation Vela. The Distance to theVela Supernova Remnant was measured by Cha, Sembach, and Danks, who reported in astro-ph/9902230that "... the Vela SNR has ... a ...distance ... of 250 +/-30 pc, with a conservative upper limit of 390 +/- 100pc. ...". They also state that people on earth saw the explosion about 11,000 years ago as a star of magnitude-10, as bright as a 7-day old Moon. According to Timothy Ferris in his book "Coming of age in the MilkyWay" (William Morrow & Co. 1988) the Sumerians, who were living on the plains of the Tigris-Euphrates,identified the supernova with their god Ea, who invented writing and agriculture. The Vela X supernovamay have roughly coincided with the primary breakup of a large parent comet of Comet Encke and theTaurid meteors. Possibly associated with Vela X, Comet Encke, and the Taurids might be Comet Hale-Bopp, which recently had perihelion in 1997, also had perihelia about 4,200 years ago, about 7,800years ago, and, coincident with Vela X, about 11,400 years ago.

Around 7,800 years ago, according to Sailing to Paradise - the Discovery of the Americas by 7000 B.C. byJim Bailey (Simon and Schuster 1994): "... the earliest pure copper was extracted in economic quantities...[at]... Lake Superior ... Isle Royale and the Keweenaw Peninsula ... around 6000 B.C. Much of it wasin the form of boulders of pure copper. To the Greeks these were the golden apples of the Hesperides,the island in the remote west beyond the Atlantic ... to the Welsh these would be the apples of Avalon.... Mining and the fashioning of copper tools and weapons were carried on ... at Lake Superior ... from thesixth millennium B.C. to 1000 B.C. ... This dating ... means that the use of copper began at about the sametime in America as around the Black Sea and in the Middle East. ... Greek tradition suggests that in theCopper Age nations were relatively peaceful, differences being settled by agreement or by casting lots....".



Around 4,200 years ago:

Yu became the Jade Emperor Yu Di, the last of the Five Rulers of China, and introduced the Lo Shudiagram after seeing the markings on a turtle rising from the Lo Riverthe end of the fifth dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom ...the sudden disappearance of hundreds of early settlements in the Holy Land ...the legend of Gilgamesh ... of "the Seven Judges of Hell", who raised their torches, lighting the landwith flame, and a storm that turned day into night, "smashed the land like a cup", and flooded thearea. ...the demise of the Akkad culture of central Iraq, with its mysterious semi-mythological emperorSargon, who, according to Jim Bailey in his book cited above, ".. Around 2300 B.C. ... Sargon theGreat ... mounted overseas expeditions to secure supplies of tin. Contemporary inscriptions record thathe crossed the sea in the west, and in a general review of his empire he is credited with control of two"lands beyond the Upper Sea" (the Mediterranean) ...... Hesiod records that the Bronze Age becameincreasingly bloodthirsty and warlike ...".

Around 1997 AD:

Abundant cheap oil reached and began to pass its peak production, as shown by this chart adapted fromScientific American (March 1998)

The USA/UK attempted to secure Caspian Oil through the NATO Kosovo war of 1999, but after asuccessful war found that, as W. Clark said in a 2003 ratville times article "... Since the mid-late 1990s theCaspian Sea region of Central Asia was thought to hold approximately 200 billion barrels of untapped oil (...comparable to Saudi Arabia's reserve base) ... After three exploratory wells were built and analyzed, it wasreported that the Caspian region holds only approximately 10 to 20 billion barrels of oil (although itdoes have a lot of natural gas) ... The oil is also of poor quality, with high sulfur content. ...[so]... The Bushadministration quickly turned its attention to a known quantity, Iraq, with its proven reserves totaling11% of the world's oil reserves. ...". Now, in 2010, the USA/UK are still bogged down in war in Iraq (and,for some reason that may be clear to President Obama, but not to me, also in Afghanistan). Meanwhile, theproduction of cheap oil is now about a decade past its peak, which will inexorably lead to shortage and



the necessity to replace oil with nuclear energy, with gas, methane, and coal as intermediate stop-gaps.

LTC (founded by Myron Scholes (MIT and Stanford) and Robert Merton (Harvard), who shared the 1997Nobel Prize for Economics) collapsed, setting the tone for the following years of bubble-building and andcollapsing of the USA/UK Global Financial System. According to a series of articles in The New YorkTimes, "... [USA President] Bill Clinton ... and Robert E. Rubin, [former] head of Goldman Sachs &Company ... pushed harder to win opportunities for American banks, brokerages and insurance companies ...for free movement of capital ... in financial markets around the globe. ... Washington's policies ... fosteredvulnerabilities that are an underlying cause of the economic crisis that began in Thailand in July 1997...[and]... rippled through Asia and Russia ... China ... evaded the crisis, and what saved it fromcatastrophe may in part have been its unwillingness to listen to Western economists. Urged to make itscurrency freely tradable with the dollar, it resisted. ...". According to a 22 April 2009economictimes.indiatimes.com article by Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Alyar: "... the Obama administration isprolonging the recession by avoiding surgery to remove dead wood from its financial sector. Some call thiscowardice. Others, such as former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson, writing in The Atlantic, say WallStreet has captured the White House. ... Johnson says the US now resembles Russia, where businessoligarchs and government officials protect each others' financial interests, at the expense of the economy. ...This ... highlights the priority given by the Obama administration to save the titans of Wall Street ratherthan end the recession quickly. ... Technically, the financial sector is comprehensively bust. It needs torecognise the losses, writing off trillions. ... The market solution would be to force insolvent banks intobankruptcy, with shareholders and creditors taking a huge hit ... Many titans of Wall Street will disappear ...the Obama administration refuses to contemplate this obvious solution. ... Wall Street has captured theWhite House, so nothing will be done to imperil the politico-financial network that rules the US. RobertRubin and Hank Paulson, treasury secretaries of Clinton and Bush, were both from Goldman Sachs. LarrySummers, the current treasury secretary, earned millions as a hedge fund consultant. In a market economy,well-managed companies should be rewarded with profits, while mismanaged companies should go bust.This basic rule has been suspended almost entirely for the titans of Wall Street. ... Accounting norms havebeen tweaked to permit zombie banks to pretend they are alive and solvent....". According to a March2009 OCC Quarterly Report "... NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS ... MARCH 31,2009, $ MILLIONS

Note that if the derivatives go bad (as they are almost certain to do, given the ongoing economic collapse),there is no way that any of the Big Five Banks that control the USA government have enough assets tocover, as their total assets are only about $7.8 trillion against about $277.6 trillion DerivativeExposure.

Deng Xiaoping died, construction began on the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, and Chinacontinued to march toward Global Economic Dominance by becoming Earth's primary manufacturer,based initially on cheap labor. Although some regard China as a top-down dictatorship, the true situation isquite different. According to a 23 April 2009 popsci.com article by Mara Hvistendahl "..... the relationshipbetween citizen and state is fluid in China ... The Chinese distinction between the private and publicdomains is very small. ...". The Chinese Government/People System may be in accord with what Ron



Eglash, Ron Eglash, in his book "African Fractals" (Rutgers 1999), describes as "African traditions ofdecentralized decision making", and so might be a mechanism through which Boskopian IFA DivinationStructures can act as Terence McKenna's Intelligent El Aleph Attractor to lead humanity through itsbreakpoint, shaking the Earth to its core, to a future dimension of freedom and transcendence.

Perhaps a Chinese Dawn of the Future of Man might be symbolized by the 9 March 1997 apparition ofComet Hale-Bopp at the beginning of a Solar Eclipse as seen from Kunlun Shan looking East to China, in apainting by Shigemi Numazawa (note the planet Saturn near the horizon to the left of the Sun/Moon and theplanets Mercuiry, Venus, and Jupiter (and Uranus and Neptune too faint to be shown) to the right of theSun/Moon), and that the Sun/Moon is at the boundary of Pisces and Aquarius, while Mars is almostantipodal in Virgo near Leo):
