THE GAME OF LIFE ( Archived) (6)

Recently, Tom Cruise appeared in a summer film that was a reboot of The Mummy. This project is Universal Pictures attempt to repackage their old monster movies of the 1930’s. The unfortunate thing is the film bombed at the box office and the critics were not too kind to the film. Mummies, the preserved bodies of ancient Egyptians, have been a cultural fascination since the early 19th century, when interest in archaeological excavations of Egyptian tombs swept across Europe. The whole mummy fascination is significant because it was the most prominent link of an Egyptian fixation of the 20’s and 30’s, in no small part because taking mummies from tombs was literal grave robbing. Grave robbing of mummies of course had their various curses involved as the excavating of these bodies were considered sacrilege. A recent story about what can be considered a mummy of strange origin may create a storm of intrigue about our world’s ancient history. A remarkable mummified body has been discovered in Nazca, Peru. What makes this Mummy unique is that it is in a crouched position, with an elongated skull and three fingers on each hand. Now for the bigger question: Is this a real find or an elaborate hoax? If the find is real, then it would change how we look at ancient history. With the recent unearthing of 300,000-year-old remains in Morocco, the history of humanity is always transforming. The body can be described as looking much like the typical gray alien—that has been depicted and described by those who have claimed to have had contact or have been abducted by these entities.

One of the lead scientists examining this case is Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, a professor at Saint-Petersburg University. Dr. José de Jesús Zalce Benítez, Forensic expert at the National School of Medicine of Mexico, and Natalia Zaloznaja MD PhD, Head of image analysis of the Medical Institute MIBS, also participated in the initial examinations. The body is estimated to be 5 feet 6 inches tall, and has proportions similar to that of a human. The mummy has three long fingers on each hand and an elongated skull that lacks a nose and ears. It is covered in a white powder which was apparently used to dry the skin and preserve the remains. The internal organs are said to be intact. Carbon dating of samples from the body show dates between 245 – 410 AD. DNA sequencing is currently underway. What is interesting is that while this mummy would appear to be “alien” or like an alien – there really doesn’t seem to be a scientist involved hat will say that this is a bonified alien corpse mummified and buried near Nasca, Peru; however, hieroglyphs in the area where the mummy was found show distinct humanoid figures with large glowing heads and three fingers seen on rock walls. This isn’t the first time that a possible extra-terrestrial mummy was found and kept under the radar. Recent discoveries of elongated skulls found by Peruvian archeologists are now being investigated as possible alien artifacts. The skulls were found in Paracus, Peru and were said at first to be the result of the ancient practice of head binding. However, archeologists found several skulls, at least 300 at the site called Cerro Colorado adjacent to the main graveyard in Paracas, which had cranial volume larger, and in some cases 25 percent larger than those that are assumed to be the result of head binding or cradle boarding.

The Russians managed to sort a deal with their Egyptian allies for information and the whereabouts of this secret tomb, before the Americans managed to get involved. Immediately, the Russians managed to put together an emergency expedition, calling it of all things Project ISIS – A group of old Soviet Egyptologists, leading scientists and military personnel were assisted by their Egyptian counterparts in locating the top secret tomb. This was verified by Russian scientist Viktor Ivanvich, who had access to classified KGB documents: “There is no doubt that a small group of Russian scientists with military experts have discovered a tomb in Egypt in 1961. But in the documents it has never been revealed exactly what was found inside the sarcophagus. Only sources of the highest ranks of the KGB know that we have found the remains of an alien creature that died in Egypt 10,000 before Christ.” The Russians together with their Egyptian counterparts managed to discover the whereabouts of the unusual tomb and reportedly secured numerous artifacts. Apparently a report from a senior KGB officer stated that there were at least 15 boxes of artifacts were taken from the Tomb of the ‘Visitor God’. There were many hieroglyphic inscriptions in the tomb which were copied by the investigators on site. There was a rather creepy message inscribed on the walls from a prophecy foretelling about the return of a “winged serpent” that would be a harbinger of the end of the world and a reforming of a new golden age. The ISIS project allegedly found the mummified body of the visitor himself, carefully placed inside a large sarcophagus. The body was estimated to be at least 13,000 years old and was also a lot taller than your average human being.

A year ago it was reported that a dagger entombed with King Tutankhamun was made with iron from a meteorite that came from space. In 1925, archaeologist Howard Carter found two daggers, one iron and one with a blade of gold, within the wrapping of the teenage king, who was mummified more than 3,300 years ago. The iron blade, which had a gold handle, rock crystal pommel and lily and jackal-decorated sheath, has puzzled researchers in the decades since Carter’s discovery: ironwork was rare in ancient Egypt, and the dagger’s metal had not rusted. Italian and Egyptian researchers analyzed the metal with an x-ray fluorescence spectrometer to determine its chemical composition, and found its high nickel content, along with its levels of cobalt, “strongly suggests an extra-terrestrial origin”. That meteorite, named Kharga, was found 150 miles west of Alexandria. A new genetic study suggests a lineage of Egyptian pharaohs were subjected to willful genetic manipulation by a technologically advanced civilization. Some would call this definitive proof that the builders of the pyramids had a strong connection with beings that originated elsewhere in the universe. Stuart Fleischmann, Assistant Professor of Comparative Genomics at the Swiss University in Cairo and his team has recently published the results of a 7-year study that mapped the genomes of 9 ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. If proven correct, their findings could potentially change the world’s history books. Fleischmann and his team subjected the precious samples of ancient DNA to a process called Polymerse Chain Reaction (PCR). In the field of molecular biology this technique is often used to replicate and amplify a single copy of a piece of DNA, giving researchers a clear picture of someone’s genetic fingerprint.

Eight out of nine samples returned interesting but typical results. The ninth sample belonged to Akhenaton, the enigmatic 14th century BC pharaoh and father of Tutankhamen. There seemed to be increased activity in his sample which points to a possibility that this Pharaoh was more than a man. It appears that his DNA showed some distinct characteristics in his genetic makeup. This may suggest that Akhenaton, one of ancient Egypt’s most mysterious pharaohs, was subjected to genetic modification during his life. If anything, this allegation supports the theory that ancient aliens once visited the civilization that was eventually called ancient Egypt. It appears this increased activity in Akhenaton’s genome would suggest he had a higher cranial capacity because of the need to house a larger cortex. But what mutation would have caused a human brain to grow? We have yet to discover such a technique despite years of breakthroughs in genetics. Could this 3,300 year-old evidence point out to ancient genetic manipulation? Was it the work of advanced extraterrestrial beings? About 30,000 to 10,000 years ago, something odd occurred in the evolution of Homo sapiens: a new and different kind of modern human appeared almost magically and began evolving beside Neanderthal man in Europe and the Middle East. The skeletal remains of a tiny hominid (human-like anthropoid) were discovered on the coast of Africa and are believed to date from about the same period (10,000 – 30,000 years ago). The hominid was about three feet tall, had an enlarged head, and was very frail and slender when living. The jaw was so weak that it could not have been a predator; it could not have chewed raw meat or cracked bones. It would have been no stronger than a two-year old child. But this tiny creature was discovered in layers of silt that were deposited upon the Earth during the Upper Pleistocene Period before Neanderthal Man faded into evolutionary history and during a period when Cro-Magnon Man underwent an unexplained change.

Archaeology explains much of what we have seen and stops short of describing other beings who have been depicted as overseers, gods, and protectors of the Earth. Religion itself has created fictional imagery of God or the gods. We only see gods in robes standing amongst the marble columns. It is imagery given to us from the Roman and the Greek. However, the sides of caves and the walls of rock show a different look for these gods. The recent discoveries in Peru will most certainly be questioned, scrutinized, studied and dismissed by critics that see ancient alien studies as pseudoscience. The quest continues for our origins no matter how outrageous they might be. Our civilization is on a trajectory. Many are seeing the future as something to behold and to even expect to be a time where mankind will eventually have no doubt that there is a celestial brotherhood of sorts and that there are exobiological wonders to be revealed. It knows this is an eventuality that can’t be stopped. The difficult part is to somehow release the basic information of the reality of life beyond the stars without falling into the trap of a government, or even a religious and science authority that wishes to manipulate the information so that they can have controls on it. Either we are alone or we are not alone. We may not know our destiny, but it seems our inevitable moment in time will be the moment in which all doubt is neutralized with the appearance of something that is not from our Earth or not from what can determine to be terrestrial.

Science may not be able to explain exobiology, but at the moment they are taking great pains to obscure it or delay its importance in our lives. In general, the collective consciousness seems to have evidence which goes on to prove that intelligent life has existed, continues to exist and has been interacting with human beings for millennia. The problem is that there seems to be a schism between science, religion, and logic which dictates that a debate must be continuous about the hypothesis that the universe is teaming with life. The discoveries we are hearing about seem to be nothing more than rediscoveries and old stories that need to be revisited in order to produce new evidence which is not clouded by modern mythology with regard to the alien question. Within the course of any discussion regarding alien life there are a few callers to my program that want to make the “fallen angel” argument and that the alien reality when revealed will some sort of satanic deception. The most remarkable and surprising thing about this argument is that it appears to not be congruent with the new attitudes about the possibility of aliens from the major religions around the world. Knowing that life on Earth is not unique may demand radical new ways of thinking about ourselves: How special and sacred are we? Is Earth a privileged place? Do we have an obligation to care for beings on other planets? Should we try to convert extra-terrestrials to our earthly religion? These questions point to a deeper issue about whether our religions can adapt to the idea that humans are not the only sentient beings in the universe capable of worshiping God.

Some faiths might unearth new meanings in ancient texts and develop ways of incorporating alien life into their world-views. Other religions that are less flexible in their interpretations of scripture or that claim humans are the only intelligent beings in the universe might struggle to adapt. Whether we are believers or not, none of us can fully escape the influence of religion in our culture. Religion is one of the oldest parts of our social fabric, and we can conclude that there may be threat to it in the future, but that threat does not come from aliens, Muslims or even secret societies. It appears that the true threat to religion and the great satanic deception that fundamentalist, dispensationalist Christians preach about will come from Artificial Intelligence. Decades ago, the Black Pope of the Church of Satan, Anton LaVey predicted in the “The Devil’s Note Book,” that there would be a future industry of android companions. “The means by which a humanoid may be constructed are as diverse as the choice of materials will allow.” Various organizations desire to use emerging technology to create a human species so enhanced that they cease to be humans. They will be post-humans with the potential of living forever. Many people are of the opinion that the transhumanist’s arrogant quest to create a post human species will become a direct assault on human dignity and an attack on God’s sovereignty as Creator.

The 20th century arguments of “pro-life” have found their way into the religious and political dialogues of the 21st century, but there will be in the future another political and religious debate and that it will no longer be enough to be pro-life, as we will enter into the time where we will also have to be pro-human. Education about the full implications of these emerging sciences is a key to be able to directly confront what faces humanity. Despite transhumanist’s hostility toward any and all religious discourse, it certainly sounds like a new faith. In a weird juxtaposition of letters there is A.I. in faith and it overlaps with traditional religious territory. The transhumanists want transcendence, immortality, and they believe that the world is ending. While transhuman enthusiasts abhor existentialism, they admit their marriage of man and machine will give them transcendence. They argue for the inevitability to and desirability of transcendent, super intelligent A.I. and the advent of singularity – something that artificial intelligence will affect. Can we say the entity that creates the singularity is seen as god-like? Many would think that it is so and yet the transhumanist rhetoric of “secular speak” seems hollow as what we are seeing is something of sterile religion in the making.

When the singularity is conceived as an entity or being, the questions circle around what it would mean to communicate with a non-human creature that is omniscient, omnipotent, possibly even omnibenevolent. If one truly believes that humans should accept their fate, that they were specially designed and created by the gods or one god, and that the divine plans includes being born having children and being exposed and tempted by evil and eventually failing to death and rising up to meet your maker, then your real threat will come from the transhumanist movement. Religion’s promise of heaven or another afterlife, they say, is a comfort that maintains humanity’s fear of death – or humanity’s finite nature of thinking and prevents it from working towards a better world in the here and now. The transhuman disdain for the flesh is similar to the way certain forms of religious gnosticism reject all things embodied and material. This is a strand of Judeo-Christian thought that perceives an unbridgeable dualism between God on the one hand, and the partial and corrupted manifestations of what is ‘in’ the world on the other. Transhumanists view flesh as merely a dead format — it has no use in the future – the mind can live on in a new body made of inorganic material. The proposition sounds like the Pinnochio story in reverse where the real boy seeks fulfillment into becoming a puppet again.
