Rem Word - Bible of the Time. …from the Big Bang to the present day…

The late Holocene is marked by the wide strides of Homo sapiens. The first of them – the Neolithic or Stone Age – lasts from the beginning of the Pleistocene. It is preceded by the Mesolithic, when people accumulate the skills of joint hunting, improve their speech, develop an understanding of social norms, religious prohibitions, and long-term traditions.

Modern scholars advertise the first pronounced archaeological culture – the so-called. «Hamburg», which suddenly appeared on the territory of the modern Netherlands and Germany. It is evidenced by stone spearheads with a lateral recess and stone incisors. The oldest city on Earth mentioned in the annals is Jericho (in Arabic – «Ariha», Greek – «Jericho», located now on the territory of the Palestinian National Authority, 30 km north-west of Jerusalem.

Neolithic people

About 6, 5 thousand years ago, mankind passes into the Bronze Age (in America, it is rather copper-obsidian). By the 13th century BC, the era of human development, characterized by the general peaceful coexistence of tribes, for better or worse, ends. Sources point to «a split in the single proto-Indo-European community», grandiose migrations of peoples, and the loss of the former peace-loving culture.

The Iron Age is marked by a series of bloody military conflicts and at the same time rapid technological development. This era is preceded by the so-called «Bronze Collapse». For two or three centuries, humanity falls into the abyss of great troubles and general decline. The reason for this is the eruption of the supervolcano Hekla in Iceland, or its powerful brother Santorini in the opposite part of the planet (12th century BC). Perhaps the culprit is a change in ocean currents, a total drought, the appearance of an iron miracle weapon and, as a consequence, an unprecedented activation of the military class. We can only guess about all this.

Volcano Hekla, Iceland. The last powerful eruption occurred in 950 BC. (according to other sources in 1159 BC). Then, 7.5 cubic kilometers of ash, which were not useful for all living and growing, appeared in the planet’s atmosphere.

Underwater megalithic complex Yonaguni, 183 x 150, 42 meters high. Scientists estimate the age of education from 10 to 16 thousand years. This and other similar megaliths do not fit into the generally accepted picture of the world.

This is the official history of our planet. But for the construction of its building, qualified master-scientists select only those bricks of knowledge that do not spoil the overall idealized picture.

Ancient Babylon. Artistic painting. Once upon a time, ate and drank…

…Sumerians. Four and a half thousand years ago. Territory of southern Iraq. Cuneiform, the world’s first wheel, brewing. First, Babylon was formed as a small village. Sumerians dissolve into new peoples. But their withered blood gives new, wonderful shoots. The Babylonian kingdom rises, flourishes for several centuries, then it is ravaged by the Hittites (the area of residence is the south of modern Turkey). The Hittites are at war with Egypt, seizing its province, but unable to survive the bronze collapse – a sudden loss of writing and skills, possibly under the influence of the eruption of the supervolcano Hekla, lose to the «sea peoples» who came from the Balkans and Asia Minor.

From a modest nome, i.e., the rural settlement of Ashur, in the center of modern Iraq, the great power of antiquity, Assyria, is developing. Piece by piece, exuding bloody drool, it engulfs the territories of modern Turkey, Syria, Israel and partially Egypt. The pearl of Assyria, Babylon retains autonomy from its once province, seeks allies, revolts, dies and rebuilds again. In the absence of strong garrisons, shouts, swords, chariots, whips and overseers, military power in the new provinces simply does not work. Assyria gets tired of fighting. Descending from the northern mountains, at first as loyal allies, even more ruthless and uncultured Scythians wander through its territory, almost without encountering resistance. Media and Babylon are gathering armies according to the Assyrian model, destroying the new capital of Assyria, Nineveh, its sacred center Ashur and all this utterly militarized state.

The remnants of the armies of the once formidable superpower are looking for an alliance with the reborn, like Osiris, Egypt and in the end are lost somewhere in its endless deserts …

Ancient Egypt (Latin pronunciation «Ayguptus», Hebrew «Mitsraim», Arabic «Masr», self-name Ta-Kemet, «Black Earth»).

Ancient Greek goddess Isis, friend of all

The oldest Egyptian kingdom was founded five thousand years ago by the monarch Menes and his people, who supposedly arrived from the now flooded coast of Western India. Let's remember and color this historical scheme. Early Kingdom, Ancient, Middle and New. Pharaoh Psammetichus (664-610 BC) expels hard-hearted Assyrians from his country. Independence does not last long. In the fifth century BC, Egypt was captured by Persia (the Achaemenid dynasty). Two centuries later, the country is ruled by the Hellenic dynasty of the Ptolemies. As a rule, the conquerors, admiring the developed culture of the "Black Earth", treat the Egyptians rather softly. In total, for two and a half millennia of the era of the Ancient World, 32 rather long dynasties rule Egypt.

Poetry of Ancient Egypt:

(Song from the house of the deceased king Antef, inscribed in front of the singer with a harp)

…In the first century BC, with the death of the son of Cleopatra and Caesar, the unfortunate youth Caesarion, Egypt completely passed into the hands of the Romans. Since the beginning of the eighth century AD, the Arabs have dominated here.

Until the very late period, the Egyptians did not know any developed monetary system. At the very least, financial means are substituted for 42 kg sacks of grain. and the debens are bars of copper or silver. To a large extent, everything in Ayguptos depends on what the rulers decided and how correctly their words were reflected on the papyrus by an almost equally significant figure – the scribe.
