What is Religion? (Part Seven)
More famously the Mayan knowledge, what is left after the wanton desecration by the Spanish church, tells us exactly when this is supposed to occur – in their timeline, and they were fixated on time and calculating it, the end of the current ‘Sun’ or Age is December 21st, 2012AD. Of course, they didn’t write it in terms of our calendar, but that is what it translates to.
On the sub-continent, the Rig Veda and other (now written) myths or histories tell of Vishnu, Kali, Shiva and others who lived in a time of glories, far above the current state of the world, who flew in vehicles and held a war with what seems like particle beam weapons and atomic bombs.
In the Veda histories, the world goes through Ages or Yugas, with each Yuga holding a different character or emphasis. Currently we are supposed to be approaching the end of the Kai Yuga, the age of “strife, discord, quarrel or contention”. The Kali Yuga is the Age of Iron, the most solid of the Ages, and supposed to be a time of materiality, of fixation in greed and base desire, leading to conflict and wars. Note that Kali Yuga does not refer to the Goddess Kali – it comes from a different word.
In Egypt, there are the King Lists, one of the main ones being that of Manetho, which trace the Pharaonic lineage back to Menes, (also Meni or Narmer) circa 3100BC. These King lists are what Egyptologists use to provide us with the lineage of Egyptian Pharaohs.
What they don’t often mention is the Egyptians recorded, as basic true history, the story of a past that stretches back a long way before the pharaohs started their long rule.
