Accurate Pre-Neolithic
Calendars
Robert Bruce Baird
Braden is quite wrong when
he says the initiations to this knowledge began about two thousand
years ago. I think that is when some people emboldened by the
earlier Pythagorean partial inclusion of the knowledge into
Therapeutae systems like the Essenes, started to study it and write
something about it. However, the prohibition on sharing this
information which is said to have still been a matter of summary
execution in the time of Plato, probably started ten thousand years
earlier.
Pre-Neolithic Calendars
The Ishango or other aboriginal message sticks from places like
Australia and Africa are not easily comprehended by us in the
present. The tools of forensics and hard sciences are not always
possible for each author or scholar to fully comprehend but they are
great evidences, and I thank god we have them. The megaliths and
stelae or other Neolithic Libraries are the subject of serious
investigation again. The list of proofs for trans-oceanic travel in
the pre-Christian era would take a full book (at least) if only four
lines were devoted to each point. The great seafarers of Atlantis or
these early colonizers from the Brotherhood deserve to be studied
and we can learn a great deal from how they ran their government or
society. Unless you wish to take the alien intervention route of
‘easy answers’ to explain the various things we are discussing, you
will have to keep working to understand why Empire and women-hating
was so important to those wishing domination and control, as the
appropriate means of governance.
I will quote Alexander
Marshack shortly, his great work on an ancient lunar calendar is
just another item that fits my long held perception, that we know so
little and assume far too much stupidity for or about our forbears.
Frank Parise wrote a reference book on all known calendrical systems
a couple of decades ago. It is totally unbiased and lists the facts
as they are known. In it he says the Mayan calendar starts at 3114
BC. In any event he lists it various parts from that time forward. I
have heard it was prepared in 3564 BC. It certainly is very old and
would have taken someone or a culture a long time to get to the
point of this highly complex prophetic calendar that was as
astronomically correct as early 20th Century calendars.
When Marshack wrote about
the Le Placard baton in 1991 he was erring on the side of
conservatism by saying it was from at least 15,000 BC. I have seen
it dated as old as 35,000 years and the ‘norm’ for its provenance
seems to be 30,000 years old. It is an accurate lunar calendar once
thought to be mere ‘notation and it took twenty years of detailed
analysis for Marshack to prove what it really was. In this quote he
seems not to know about other things such as the origin of
agriculture and language that we have covered. I guess it is hard
for ‘experts to keep up to date on all the different fields or
disciplines. One other real possibility is that he didn’t wish to go
against conventional scholarship and the Sumerian or Bible Narrative
origin of language and agriculture. Maybe it was his publisher or
some other agency that convinced him not to rock the boat. It is
hard to imagine he did not know the work done at the Franchithi
Caves that shows HYBRID grains before the Fertile Crescent ordinary
grain harvests. Here we have the quote from his book <i>The Roots of
Civilization</i>.
… the unravelling occurred
at precisely the moment that young archaeologists in Europe and the
United States had begun to publish arguments that notations could
not possibly have existed in the Ice Age and that the microscopic
method could not be used to ascertain notation. I summarize the
‘decoding’ since it was not dependent on microscopic cross-sectional
analysis of single marks but on a determination of the changing
strategies involved in a complex sequence of visual, symbolic,
problem-solving….
Remember also that this
baton was engraved some 5,000 years before agriculture formally
‘began’ in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East and some 10,000
years before the formal beginning’ of writing… “(2)
It is not easy to go against
the forces of intellectual lethargy and worse that are backed by
tenured professors. We see Marshack putting quotes around ‘began’
and ‘beginning’ and wonder if he knew better. Often the funding for
research dries up when something threatening to the paradigm is
being discovered. He also wisely addresses the mental processes of
Neanderthal and we open another debate.
By the Mousterian period,
Neanderthal man, for instance, was not only engaged in complex
adaptation to his environment, but was also engaged in complex
ceremony and rite. By the Upper Paleolithic, modern ‘Homo Sapiens’
was capable of representational art and notation. This combined late
evidence {He avoids the Berekhat Ram figurine dated to 400,000 years
ago which we have covered. In 2004 they have found beaded art at
least one fourth that old and claim it is 30,000 years older than
the previously thought to be oldest art.} would seem to indicate
that quite early the evolving hominid must have had some means of
communication or ‘language’, a capacity and skill that evolved as
part of the increasingly complex way of life and culture he was
structuring. But how much language, and to say what at each stage,
has not yet begun to be investigated. It was certainly more complex
than can be deduced by analogy and from studies of the primates. In
our efforts to understand the notations we must make the effort.”

I say the notations were the
forerunner of Ogham which incorporated the ritual and spiritual
chant as well as the obvious sign languages that must have come
first. Ogham is a sign language of the hands and knuckles; it is
evident by looking at the simple diagrams of it. It also had healing
and divinatory roots that make up at least 64 different tracts not
to mention the 5 dialects. Modern scholars do not know how the
quipas of Peru kept poetry on ropes with knots that are reminiscent
of Ogham and knuckles. But, when one considers the me-too think’
that is evident in schooling it is no wonder. There were early 20th
Century scholars who still promoted Locke’s ‘Tabula Rasa’. Locke
said no animal could think or communicate and that this is what
separated man from beast at some point in his development. This, of
course, dovetailed rather nicely with the Bible and the Babel story.
Even Marshack is not mentioning Koko the gorilla or Kansai the
chimp. They both know more English and grammar than many seven year
olds.
The historians who made us
believe the human was a cave dweller who beat women over the head
with clubs are still quoted as having something to offer. Almost all
Western academia is still infected by the Ussher born gradualistic
ascendance through a god-guided’ Christian entity that somehow
created ‘sins and demons’ and only had one true representative on
earth. The scholars in the Church or the accompanying hegemony who
developed the Scale of Nature needed to provide their missionaries
and mercenaries with justification to destroy all life and art they
found. The Incans and Mayans suffered mightily to see their culture
destroyed and yet knew it was coming before it happened. It took the
Pope until 1524 to decide if the North American Indian even had a
soul as crude as the Hottentot. Needless to say who they had at the
top of this evil Scale or Chain of Ascended Being; it was that
person who was the Lord’s only representative. The same one that
liked Cosmas Indicopleustas making all the heavens revolve around
him in the Flat Earth theory.
Maybe I am wrong to think
there has been an organized and well thought out conspiracy from the
moment of the Treaty of Tordesillas and Columbus’ first invasion.
Maybe Manifest Destiny is not the kind of rationale that the elite
have used against natives and average people throughout history.
Probably I do over-emphasize the Hegelian ‘play both ends against
the middle whenever I see people like Moses being all things to all
people. But it certainly deserves serious consideration if one is to
learn enough from history to stop these things from happening. I am
certain that animals have a soul and the ability to think and
communicate. Yogi Ramacharaka of the Yogic Society of Chicago wrote
some excellent books at the beginning of the 20th Century in which
he said domesticated animals are at a higher spiritual level than
many humans living in poverty. In the end I wonder about the soul of
Churchians who limit the spirit and awareness of the soul for all
their ‘flock’! Jesus said, ‘We are all the children of God’ and God
must have people fulfilling his PURPOSE of harmonization here on
earth. We all must think and choose for ourselves as we learn from
our soul and all the potential of it and humanity we must not be
‘fool owers’!
It was the first thought of
prehistorians involved in the late nineteenth-century debate of
science against the church that the newly discovered evidence of
prehistoric art and ceremony revealed an evolution of man’s
‘spiritual’ and ‘religious’ side, as opposed to his developing
‘practical’ or ‘aggressive’ side as indicated by the tools. This
philosophic division of man into two or three parts was an attempt
to save his unique ‘spiritual place at the top of the ladder of
creation. Man, the argument went, may have ascended biologically
during his evolution, but once near the top he had been given, or he
had achieved, a soul’.” (4)
And you know who the
interpreters for this entity that gave us a soul were, don’t you?
Marshack goes on to discuss the scientific and other contributions
of Father Teilhard de Chardin, which rocked Catholicism. I am very
much in agreement with the ‘templates’ of Teilhardism and the need
for a Conspiracy of Love’ which he called for, in great earnestness.
His influence can be seen in Jean Houston’s Jumptime. This
qualitative Intelligent Design is at the root of all my dedication
to writing a new history for man to build proper models of behaviour
upon.
So I hope I have established
enough of the fundamentals for the reader to see the ‘notation’ and
symbols on dolmen, menhir, megalith and stelae or other Neolithic
Libraries has a lot to offer us; in seeing how we developed as
spiritual beings in a long and fruitful growth, we must return to
the bosom of. One of the most important aspects is reflected in the
degrees of a circle or mapping system that Bradley said academics
have ‘no apparent reason’ for the fact of its existence. It is
harmonic and it was understood by the builders of the Great Pyramid.
