Just keep this in mind: as a 'human race' we have developed having 'ownership,' as they say in Los Angeles, of our own ideas, our advances in science and technology, and art and culture. Einstein is broadly credited with 'inventing' the nuclear bomb, and so we think, as humans, we did this...
A 'Wendy's' is a conspiracy theory meme, about a restaurant, which is a front for a place that cooks you 'well-done' while they are roasting you... |
He never really invented it, though, did he? It was already there as part of the underlying nature of things, something to be exploited with highly developed tools and engineering.
Let's say an advanced species arrives here - having basically already been well aware of this place for a long time - nevertheless though, some significant matters become new issues if such a thing ever took place: our own 'trajectory' of intellectual development would instantly be impeded and altered either by us leaving off from undertaking any 'new' task from the standpoint of where we 'were' at, or else, we would be tacking onto the existing development trajectory of a wholly other species and their 'history.'
Was there, in fact, ever a story of historical change by conquest, that really happened the way 'the standard narratives' say...? Or, was it the case that a prior Empire self-damaged, got wound down internally, and other people filled in the vacuum?
The standard Islamic narrative, is that some leader 'Muhammad,' took around a thousand warriors at max, and overcame a range of previous 'ruling elites' that surrounded him, ostensibly, 'him' being in the first place, a nomad.
Is the whole world a 'Wendy's' and are we being 'well-done?' |
In the key 'turning point' battle of Islam, during the third Caliphate (Uthman) a general, Hudhayfah, prosecuting the main battles in Armenia and Azerbaijan (what were they doing there? This is nowhere near the Hijaz...) tells Uthman that almost all the people who could 'recall and recite' the Quran were being killed (and by some hadiths this amounts to 900 men and women, and by al-Tabari, the strength of Hudhayfah's army was 10,000 persons). That's when Hudhayfah advises Uthman to write down one single 'correct' recitation...
Now when you keep in mind that the army of the Persian 'King' Khosrau was over 80,000 men, fully armed with the latest weapons and highly trained and paid - there is no rational basis to the idea that 'Muhammad' from the Hijaz, traveled up to Iran and Armenia and Kufa (Iraq/Baghdad) and overpowered the Persians.
In the Quran itself, there are references to 'Ad,' or 'Ud/Uz/Az,' and 'Thamad/Thamaz.' What this directly means when translated, even from basic modern Arabic - is 'Az' (Azerbaijan) and 'the people after Azerbaijan').
So here is what really happened: Baghdad was the center of all 'maintained' knowledge - IE a major library center - and here Jews centered their own 'global' Hebrew center for Jewish Jurisprudence and religious rulings (this is a matter of historical fact which is not disputed anywhere), and, it was where the Persians also maintained their technical libraries consisting of engineering books and mathematics books and so on, including works of art and culture.
'Muhammad' was a nomadic leader in the vicinity, slightly north of Baghdad. He was armed literally by the Persians. That's how come 'the Qurayshi' dialect - the word has been conflated with Kurayshi, meaning of the people of Khosrau! The Persian Empire self-destructed in a huge civil war and internal conflicts, in which one of the Persian ruling family representatives assassinated virtually all his own male family members - and then the women deserted him though and he was murdered eventually, and the whole place collapsed as a cohesive 'Empire.'
Goan crab curry... Very nice. |
Hulagu Khan a little later caused the Great Library of Baghdad to be burned down completely.
The whole human race very nearly, in that particular incident, actually almost lost all the key works of Euclid and Pythagoras.
There are over 2 billion Muslims on the planet today, this is not an insignificant number, and they all hold that Muhammad was in the Hijaz (region), and that he received instructions via a being that came down from space literally as a star which turned into a man when it came to the ground, and that 'God' is so-and-so, and such-and-such a thing and this is what you must do and what you must believe and so on and so forth.
None of that is true.
The Persian Empire crumbled in a 'natural' way, and warlords picked up the pieces and other warlords much later on in the Hijaz, expanded into the vulnerable places all around taking over supreme power, more or less completely. The Byzantines in like manner were also already on the verge of their own self-destruction by this time. Rome had long become a collapsed Empire.
But, we are now left with 2 billion people who believe literal nonsense. If an advanced 'super species' turned up - what would they do with this 2 billion, and the other several billion who believe varying other forms of childish nonsense too?
Would they simply exploit all - as I said previously - like some kind of Cosmic act of species 'pedophilia?'
Would they even - as my Russian interpreter friends point out to me about this - be even slightly interested in us at all? Why would they be?
I'll tell you why.
Go back to the Library of Baghdad. Or the Library of Alexandria. Or the Louvre. Or the Paris Opera. Or the Mariinsky Ballet.
Oh we matter all right. Just not in any 'political' or 'power-expressing' Imperial, way.
Let me show you something. This is a mansion in Penang called 'Suffolk House.' It was where the Colonial founder of Penang, Francis Light, lived. At that time 'Penang' was not anything at all to do with 'Malaysia' (there are simply thousands of 'Malay' ethnic islands all over Asia all the way up to and including parts of the Philippines). It isn't part of the 'Sultanate' federation of Malaysia, although it was a protectorate of Kedah Sultanate, and it has never had any hereditary monarchy, although most all other places in Malaysia do.
Suffolk House |
Penang was part of the Presidency of India. It was part of British India. But then, before that - it had been in any case part of the ancient Indian Raj under very ancient major Indian kings.
The current 'narratives' all over the internet will say that Suffolk House 'went into decline and disrepair after the war (WWII).' But that is not what happened. It got the reputation of being 'haunted' by local Chinese and Indians and Malays of Penang, because it had been where the Japanese Kempeitai torutured local gold merchants in particular.
In other words, for modern political reasons, the 'standard narrative' is in fact false.
What you see in modern day pictures of modern day 'Suffolk House' is a completely rebuilt structure based on the original Georgian mansion that was there.
Now, what I mean by 'you are on the inside' is that you are on the inside. Which still does not mean to say for sure, there are going to be advanced alien super-species people turning up on your doorstep just right now exactly. (Unless they do, of course! But not my call...!).
However, you will be able to notice very quickly, if anything that you are observing, might have a different explanation, than the standard narrative.
