What does a life form from 'outside' do while influencing the human evolutionary record ... well ... it creates ... it paints ... it sculpts ... in a manner of speaking ... and it writes ... and what language does it write in ... well I don't know if we have a name for it ... but it is symbols and pictures ... symbols that we don't understand and pictures that are eerie to say the least ...
And what is being written on ... well it's not paper ... we would call it an iPad today ... and the sculpting ... well the local rock in the Winslow - Moab corridor is soft sandstone ... very easy to work with ... so the pictures that are language ... the symbols that are language .. are carved, and sometimes painted, into/onto the rock ... but who is to tell or understand what was a representation of a picture and what was a phrase ... two or three symbols in a row ... carved into the rock ...
What is on and in the rock ... is a mixture of fiction, remembrances and local observations ... and centuries later when it's migrating offspring reached the same territory ... in the Moab area ... they saw these paintings and etchings in the rock ... and they emulated them .. adding their own ideas to what was already there and doing this over the generations and as they migrated further south, east and west ...
The migrating tribes ... used the symbols to establish a language ... and then mapping that language back onto the symbols on the rock ... interpreted them in their own way .. . and since the tribes all had an original source ... while the languages differed in degrees ... the legends and stories were quite similar ... all spoke of a great flood ... all spoke of a great earthquake .. all spoke of large explosion and a dark time of cold and snow ... all spoke of creation ... all spoke of another world, a higher plane of existence ... all spoke of a code to live by ...
The first example of a culture adapting these symbols to a written language were the tribes that settles in Sumeria ... it was called cuneiform ... the region it was developed in was present Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran ... and Jordan (Moab) ...
The development of the language was a sign to 'it' ... it would only be a matter of time before language lead to a social structure based on have and have not ... and then it would be time to intervene ... but the final sign was the rise of a person or group of individuals who would call for social justice .. who would stand against authority and in an act of selfless courage demand a change ... yes .. when an anarchist rose, it would be truly time to act ...
Beneath the Upheaval Dome ... 'it' is is bored waiting ... it will happen soon ... soon is 5000 years ... 'it' has been toying with an idea for a journal of what 'it' has experienced on earth ... 'it' begins to write in the language that is symbols ... it uses a symbol for what will call the name of it ... later tribes/cultures will interpret this differently ... roughly translated ...
' ... I began ... I reformed the land ... I reformed the air ... I gave light to the dark ... ' ... the tribes that followed would give great reverence to the symbol for 'I' ... they would re-interpret it as an entity having infinite power ... they would use a word for it that sounded like good ... it would eventually evolve to 'god' ...
To quote from verse 5000 of the Krome Koan,
' ... a conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking ... '
