Those that control and dictate the orthodox narrative, want people to believe that humankind has slowly evolved over the eons and that today’s human race, along with the technological progress, so with, is absolutely unique amongst the annals of time, and clearly shows that humankind, slowly but inexorably advances and therefore evolves over time. Then, there are also those that believe that humankind was a special creation by God, of which, those of the most orthodox sort, typically believe that humankind has only existed upon earth for mere thousands of years, which means that these people of faith are essentially in sync, with human evolution in the narrow sense, that today’s humankind is the apogee of such of our existence.
Nice and neat theories make for an easier way to write history, for great civilizations such as demonstrated in Atlantis, or seen by the impressive and incomparable building of the pyramids in Egypt, amongst all the other buildings so created which currently lie in various degrees of disrepair, all over the world, whether above sea or below sea, are typically manipulated in a way in which this serves not to knock down the edifice that humankind today, is the absolute peak of civilization. Yet, the evidence is all around us, that some ancient civilizations had knowledge and knowhow which have yet to be re-discovered by today’s modern humankind.
The fundamental problem with a theory such as evolution, is the belief, that humankind, as well as other things, evolve over time, to therefore become better, stronger, smarter, and more skilled. Yet, all around us, we see that the world consists almost always of cycles, and of which the same sort of cyclical actions, occur and re-occur again and again. That is to say, a better way to visualize life on earth, is to recognize that it is indeed, cyclical. This thus lends itself to the theory that humankind is most likely subject to the same cyclical actions as the life that so surrounds us; represented in word by Shakespeare’s “Seven Ages of Man,” as well as by the fact that ancient civilizations that are well documented, have themselves gone through their rise and their subsequent ultimate fall.
Those that believe that humankind always advances and never regresses, don’t really know their history, and obviously don’t care to know such, for there are those “dark ages,” – in which, humankind’s hubris, takes that which has been discovered for the betterment of humankind but then instead utilizes this knowledge wrongly for the destruction of such, thereby ultimately destroying that civilization. To ignore that lesson, again and again, entraps humankind into making the same bad decisions and the same bad mistakes, which is why the great and mysterious historical artifacts that seem so mystifying to so many, leaves them unable to grasp or to conceptualize how these supposedly primitive civilizations were somehow able to demonstrate impressive and noticeable skill-sets, that in truth, would be the envy of the world today. The only appropriate answer to all of this is to take to heart that this world is truly a proving ground, of which, the real point of life is to learn well the lessons that it so imparts and to take that knowledge so as to teach this to those that know not.
