Once We Were Warriors

No. This is not a review of the movie of the same name.

Once there was one global language. Once there was one global religion. Once there was one global kingdom. Is this true?

“All this seems to confirm the very close connexion which there must have been in some former time, between Siam, Afghanistan, Western Syria and Ireland. Indeed I cannot doubt that there has been really one grand empire, or one Universal, one Pandean, or one Catholic religion, with one language, which has extended over the whole of the old world; uniting or governing at the same time, Columbo in the island of the Serendive, and Columbo in the west of Scotland.”Godfrey Higgins – Anacalypsis.

We are taught a bibliocentric history. That which does not conform to the Abrahamic religions is easily discarded as nonsense, and any alternative views of mankinds history is ignored and dismissed as the work of loons.

So, are we to believe that civilisation arose almost overnight in Sumeria and Egypt?

What do they have to say of their own origins, the Sumerians and the Egyptians? The Sumerians have their Dilmun and the Egyptians have their Punt.

“Both Punt and Dilmun are referred to in their respective myths as holy places and being to the east. Both are places of trade and are revered as being ancestral homelands. Both are given mystical and Utopian status and spoken of in myth with respect. And both are considered to be the “land of the god(s).” Punt, unfortunately isn’t written of nearly to the degree that Dilmun is, but its allure is, perhaps, equally mysterious and appealing to those of both antiquity and modernity.” http://ahotcupofjoe.wordpress.com/2007/06/24/dilmun-and-punt-two-mythical-origins-for-two-early-civilizations-part-i/

Lets just say that the evidence that supports a far richer history for mankind is much too great to be ignored. And until there is enough research done without any a prioriassumptions, the truth will forever be an unattainable perfection for most, if not all.

So who were the warriors then? Our forefathers were. They were the ones that spread across the world, from the same source, leaving traces of our common origins in our DNA, our languages and our religions, the very things that split us today.

Once we were warriors, now we are just consumers.
