Chapter 1
The Stage is Set
Circa 65,000,000 Years Ago

A monstrous tectonic clash occurred in the northern hemisphere. It changed the whole world drastically. It destroyed the great dinosaurs, giant reptiles that ruled the world. It changed the contours of continents by creating mountains, valleys and rivers. It altered the climate pattern of the whole world. It laid the foundation for genetic alterations of all animals, including us human beings.

It happened when the Indian Plate crashed into the Great Asian Plate.

Circa 200,000,000 years ago, Antarctica was a super landmass. The present continents of Africa, Australia and the subcontinent of India were integral parts of this landmass . Even earlier, Antarctica itself belonged to a super landmass called Pangea. It was a single landmass, two billion years ago, of all the seven continents that exist now. At that time New York City was near the Equator.

Three tectonic plates of Antarctica split from the mother plate and started drifting about 200,000,000 years ago carrying common elements. The largest of them drifted northwest and came to rest mostly south of the Equator. This is the continent of Africa today. A smaller plate drifted northeast and settled in the middle of an ocean. It is Australia today.

The smallest plate, in the shape of a triangle, drifted directly north towards Asia. The journey took about 135,000,000 years. When it crashed into Asia, the greatest mountain range in the world was created, thus creating a sub-continent. It is India now.

Before the crash, Earth had a temperate climate as warm winds from the south flowed freely to the north. The earth spins clock-wise creating western wind movement. There were no large mountains in Asia and Europe then. A large part of the northern hemisphere was a thick sheet of ice. At the southern fringes of this ice sheet, Siberia was a land of forest. Much of Arabia was under water. Earth was home to large reptiles called dinosaurs, which can exist, only in warm climates. Waves lapped a vast coastline of the Tethys Sea from Spain all the way to South East Asia.

When the Indian Plate crashed into Asia, the longest and largest mountain range was created. It is called the Himalayas now. Research is being conducted to determine whether a small range was in existence and whether the tectonic clash pushed up this existing mountain range towards the heavens. Three smaller ranges were also created, the Hindu Kush in northwest India, the Caucasus in southern Russia linking The Black Sea and The Caspian Sea and the Alps in Europe.

The Tethys Sea was split. The eastern portion was called Tosali . Now it is called the Bay of Bengal. The western part is called the Arabian Ocean. Arabia came out of the sea, mostly as desert.

Tall mountains block winds and clouds. That is how they change the climate pattern. These warm winds from the south could not reach large parts of Asia and Europe. Temperatures dropped, sometimes to sub-freezing levels. Northern Russia and Scandinavia became frigid lands.

Reptiles have cold blood and as such they need warmth for survival. The giant dinosaurs living in north of India, China and Europe perished . That is also the reason why there are hardly any snakes in Ireland .

The Stage is Set

The tall Himalayas block the clock-wise, moisture-laden clouds and winds and turn them. Thus northeast India gets a lot of rain. Naturally giant rainforests developed in the northeast. They are the source of life, all the way from the lemurs and bush babies to fully developed human beings.

It is a matter of record that two great apes named Ramapithecus punjabicus and Sivapithecus roamed in the land of India 15,000,000 years ago. It is also a fact that the Rhesus monkey, an intelligent one of its species, makes the wide swath of land from Afghanistan to South East Asia via Pakistan, India, and Myanmar (former Burma) it's home. Cures for most of human diseases have been found by conducting genetic research on these monkeys.

From Time Immemorial
Apes, Neandarthals and Cor-Magnons travel from India to Central Asia, Persia, Arabia and parts of Europe.

We begin with the movement of fully developed human beings.

Circa 50,000 years ago
Fully developed people of Indian origin trickle (across the current border) into Persia, Arabia, Central Asia, ancient Anatolia (modern Turkey) and the Pyrenees mountains in western Europe. They are artistic and speak a few sounds.

Place: A small fresh water lake in Southern Russia
The Stage is Set>/p>A small group of short, dark Caucasians, mostly men and very few women , appear at the southeastern section of the Caucasus mountain range at the eastern shore of the lake. A small river feeds into the lake. A small water causeway is the link between this lake and the Mediterranean Sea. They know about the existence of this lake by following the mammoths and stedogens who made annual forays to this region from their homeland. Perhaps they rode these beasts.

They are pastoral people, but adventurous.

They have two inventions, one of them the plough. They do not have to hunt or scrounge for survival.

They have harvested rice, from wild rice, barley and wheat, also from wild.stock.

They have cows and goats as livestock. They know about milk.

They have domesticated the pig and the dog. They admire the ant and the butterfly.

They are very intelligent.

Their other invention is a nice collection of spoken sounds, but no script.

They are excellent stone-crafters. They cut stone to fit, no mortar required. They are capable of constructing huge geometrical edifices using heavy stone..

They know how to shape wood. They live in cabins along the edges of the lake. The cabins are built of honed lumber.

They are students of nature, making them the first astronomers.

Everything is going well for them for 2450 years

The Stage is Set

Circa 5550 B.C.
A disaster called The Great Flood occurs.

Northern glaciers melt The last glacial cycle occurred circa 9000 B.C. Ice advances and retreats very slowly. England and Ireland are cut off from Europe and become islands. English river Thames ceases to be a tributary of the German Rhine River. The water level in the Mediterranean Sea rises to dangerous levels. The small causeway to the lake is breached. It becomes a strait and water gushes into the fresh water lake. The inflow is so great that the lake expands by a mile a day. Within a short period of days, the lake becomes a major sea. The ocean levels rise by about 183 meters (600 feet) causing massive sea-burials of lives and edifices all over the world. Such a massive inundation can conceal alternate sites of origin of mankind.

There are no right words in any vocabulary to describe the horror that these pastoral people faced. Their families and livestock drowned, homes destroyed, the simple people are devastated.

The greatest diaspora in human history occurs.

People flee in all directions, even towards frigid Siberia and even beyond to lands now called Finland, Scandinavia etc.

Some move westward into southern areas of current Italy, Germany, and France. Some head all the way to Spain and the north to Pyrenees mountain areas to join children of even more ancient people from India.

Some flee to Anatolia and Greece, once again to join their ancestors.

The rugged ones just move a little away into the modern Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia and the Slavic lands.

Wherever they go, they take their Gods, genes and scraps of known sounds with them. They modify these sounds in their new lands. Nature can modify their genes, up to 150 mutations (changes) per generation. In a century, there are about 4 generations. All this means that one can live long enough to see a great-grandchild in his or her lifetime. Thus in a span of 10,000 years (8000 B.C. to current time) the human body can experience 60,000 changes! An ordinary eye or mind cannot visualize such magnitude of change. Even most geneticists cannot comprehend it.

The Stage is Set

They adopt new social customs. Ancient family customs, resistant to change, stay intact in all their various lands. However, dietary and civic customs change drastically.

Nature performs her wonders to isolate their off springs even more.Temperature, especially radiation, environment, diet and even clothing cause genetic mutations. Some children grow up to be tall, fair and strong. Majority stays short, dark and strong.

Thousands of tribes develop, solely based on cultural and linguistic differences. Over time visual, cultural and linguistic differences are mistakenly construed to be different races.

Ego and illusions of superiority take hold and play havoc.

Eventually the cousins clash. Even today, they are still doing it. They fight over color, religion, language, property and women. They fight over ideology and illusions of superiority. They fight in ignorance.

But they are all one people.
