Her absence from the media and eclectic circles has allowed all involved the preparation time to face our opponents. Working silently from 1985 to the present, ensuring the evidence was verifiable and synchronised with current archaeological issues, I waited patiently for Marilyn to come to her conclusions and go public with her story. An important book to read is Oppenheimer's Eden of the East which outlines the basic theory that the earth's cataclysms from around 8000 BCE contributed to a science of the dreaming, a world myth that required a rebuilding of the balance between heaven and earth, earth weather metastability, seasonal variation, and cultural resettlement as depicted by the search for new territories by cultures in collision as represented by the myths of the twins, brothers or variant bloodlines as in the Cain and Able story. Oppenheimer was aware of very little news of our lost civilisation issues here in Australia, with much of his extensive research pointing to New Guinea and the Polynesian express theory, Lapita culture evidence, and the spread of a metaphysical heritage from Southeast Asia into the West. Australian ethnographers are well aware of the role of the Rainbow Serpent in Aboriginal legends about the flood epic.
Many legends record the disappearance of the moon and sky.
The action of great flooding brought about the collapse of the Sundra Shelf and hence sent further maritime expeditions away from the coastlines of Vietnam, China and Thailand. The question of South American and Middle Eastern presence is an additional string in a long chain of events that brought many entradas to Australia. Keeping in touch with Marilyn Pye and her story has been an ongoing pursuit since 1984 when I first came to Australia to look at the evidence. I tracked her activities in my journal for over 15 years trying to keep an accurate record of her movements and acquisitions. Her relaunch of her theory and findings will contribute greatly now to a new millennium of controversy.
