World history

History, as Churchill asserted, `is written by the victors'. Hence, it is good to recognise that the story of history that we are taught tends to be the one that benefits the dominant power at the time. Therefore we need to dig a little deeper is we wish to uncover the inconvenient truths of history.

The Sumerian King's list Stella, records that the current rise in human civilisation began at Kish, in Sumer, in ancient Mesopotamia. It states:

*"After the flood had swept over, and the kingship had descended from heaven, the kingship was in Kish."* The city of Kish has now been excavated, being located in modern day Iraq. The Sumerian language used Cuneiform script and was distinct from Semitic languages. Sumeria was primarily an agricultural economy. Nearby Umma is known for introducing a silver standard for trade.

The first inconvenient truth of history, is the occurrence of a large scale cataclysmic flood in ancient times that nearly destroyed the original human civilisation, as well as all life on Earth. This fact is often avoided by scholars, even though there are over 500 flood stories worldwide, all with striking similarities, showing that there was indeed some common global watery cataclysm. One well known account is the biblical story of Noah's flood. Greek history also talks of several floods, including the giant flood of Deucalion, which nearly wiped out humanity. The Mayans of Mesoamerica also record a cataclysmic flood that destroyed their earlier civilisation.

The Sumerians refer to an asteroid impact that occurred during this time that may have been the causative factor. Indeed, there appear to have been recorded multiple impacts, that split the continents, opened up the pacific ring of fire, causing giant tsunamis to sweep around the world, remodelling the whole surface of the Earth and laying down vast fossil graveyards.

The Sumerians also claim that the Earth originally had a 360 day year and spun vertically on its axis before the cataclysm. This helps explain the 360 degrees in the circle, as well as the ancient obsession, post cataclysm, with building sophisticated megalithic structures to measure the precession of the Earth, such as Stonehenge, Newgrange and the Great pyramid. Additionally, these ancient structures appear to be built based on an axial tilt of 24.5 degrees greater than the current 23.5 degrees, indicating that the Earth may still have been recovering from the ancient impact that tilted the Earth over when these structures were built.

As a way to date the restarting of human civilisation at Sumer, we have the start of the Mayan calendar in August 11, 3114 BCE, which may be based on this event. We also have the dating of the Great Pyramid, and other megalithic structures based on the angle of the Earth's tilt when they were constructed that appear to confirm this approximate date.

Thus a correct understanding of history, requires recognition of the destruction of an earlier civilisation by a cataclysm, which then restarted at Sumeria around 3000-4000 BCE, which then spread to Ebla and Egypt, before spreading out to the Indus valley and the Minoans in the mediterranean, as shown on a common timeline of world history.

The restarting of civilisation at Sumer, naturally leads to a study of the nature of the antedeluvian civilizations.
