Ancient Astronauts
from
CrystaLinks Website
The term 'Ancient Astronauts' generally
refers to extraterrestrials
who
came to Earth and were in some way responsible for seeding the human
race.
There are references to these entities in the bible, in ancient art
and other texts. They are all linked with myths about creation found
in all ancient civilizations.
As we search to find the truth behind the illusion, who created the
human race, or biogenetic experiment, we look to those who came from
the stars, ancient astronauts, creational gods, for our answers.
All
is theory, virtual reality, consciousness, and for the most part not
provable, subject to the interpretation of the researcher or experiencer.
Most of us would love to find evidence of ancient astronauts, be
visited by friendly aliens who could enlighten us to our true
creational blueprint.
Throughout the history of the human drama, we
find all sorts of evidence that makes us think, believe, and quest
for the greater truth. They are all just myths, legends, and
theories...
Theories about Atlantis often link sightings of ancient astronauts
to Atlantean space ships. This goes to the ancient gods called the
Zep Tepi.
In China we find theories about an alien race called
the Dropa who
left behind fascinating discs.
The Popol Vuh, sacred to the Mayans, unequivocally states,
"Men came
from the stars, knowing everything, and they examined the four
corners of the sky and the Earth's round surface."
Brazilian UFO researcher Jean Alencar has noted that the mythology
of this country is replete with descriptions and statuettes of
beings endowed with the power of flight.
The legends of Brazilian
natives, like those of other countries, detail experiences of gods
or travelers from the sky who descended to earth when humans were
little more that animals to instruct them in the arts of
agriculture, astronomy, medicine, and other disciplines.
Alencar
points out one figure in particular, Bep-Kororoti, a space warrior
worshipped by the tribes of the upper reaches of the Xing River. Not
unlike the heroes of India's Mahabarata, Bep-Kororoti possessed a
flying vehicle capable of destroying anything in its path.
His
aspect terrified the primitive natives, until he stepped out of his
"raiment" and revealed himself to be fair-skinned, handsome, and
kind. He amused the natives with his "magic" until he grew restless
for his land in the sky and returned there.
The
Chilam Balaam, is even more explicit and states,
"Beings
descended from the sky in flying vessels...white men in flying
rings, who can touch the sky."
There are indications that something very strange took place on our
very own continent hundreds of thousands of years ago, before humans
arrived on this continent (according to the canon of anthropology).
Santa Maria Canyon holds evidence pointing toward the existence of a
culture of intelligent beings who raised cattle, built weapons, and
practiced funeral rites -- one million years ago.
If we decide to
stick with what academia has to say, in no way could these beings
have been humans.
-
Were they survivors of a Race of Aliens?
-
This
brings to mind theories of marooned spacemen, or colonists trying to
tame a new planet?
During the Prehistory Conference held during 1962
in Rome, Dr. W. Matthes presented the oldest carvings known to
exist, created by a forgotten artist two hundred thousand years ago,
when humans had allegedly just discovered the use of fire.
Discovered by the 19th century French explorer Henri Lhote, these
figures were so unusual he dubbed them Martians, explaining their
contour is simple, unartistic, and with rounded heads; their only
detail is the double oval at the figure's center, which evokes the
image we currently have of Martians.
Great
Martian Gods c.6000 BC
from
Tassili Mountains
Sahara Desert
North Africa
Lhote's round-headed denizens of the Red Planet were depicted by the
primitive cave artists as wearing suits strongly reminiscent of
those worn by our own astronauts on the Moon, down to the detail of
the boots.
Several hundred such drawings exist, scattered over many
miles of desert: strange helmeted and figures with antennae, often
floating in weightlessness as if the artist had been able to witness
one of our modern space walks. Other images are of a technological
bent, showing what could be taken as solar panels, space stations,
floating spheres containing humanoid figures.
Unwilling to be caught
up in the ancient astronaut craze, anthropologists have suggested
that the Tassili "roundheads" are merely ceremonial dancers or
priests wearing empty gourds over their heads.
The problem with this
rational approach is that the agricultural know-how and resources to
grow pumpkins were nonexistent in North Africa at the time the Tassili drawings were created, and would probably not have been
available for another thousand years.

The examples of cave art found in the Spanish caverns of
Ojo Guarea
and Altamira, and the French ones at Lascaux and Font de Gaume, have
proven that our distant ancestors were able to represent what they
saw with a clarity and simplicity that is stunning to twentieth
century eyes.
This skill extends to depictions of things that
anthropologists and archaeologists often find troublesome: equally
faithful representations of domed objects, some of them in threes,
others with legs or antennae.
Ancient astronauts have been described as bi-pedal entities often
with beaks or wings, or reptilian looking, gray aliens, ethereal, or
humanoid coming and going in space craft of some kind or moving in
and out of our dimension.
Different theories or stories of creation
cite these entities, not unlike gods from heaven who many believe
seeded the human experiment and will return one day. The feeling of
a god returning to Earth, a savior, if you will, who restores
balance, is a metaphor in the journey of the human experiment in
linear time and emotion.
All virtual created by consciousness. All
are theories.
The Ojo Guarea complex, weaving its way for miles into the earth,
poses an undecipherable riddle.
In his book En Busca de la Historia
Perdida (In Search of Forgotten History), Spanish author and
filmmaker
Juan G. Atienza states that some of the cave systems many
entrances are considered "evil," and the local farmers will not till
the soil near them nor even come close to them.
Contained precisely
within one of these "evil" points of access is an ancient petroglyph
of what could only be, astounding though it might seem, a
representation of the helicoidal structure of DNA.

The Kayapo tribe in Brazil worship a being called Bep-Kororoti -
"astronaut-like" god today symbolized by a straw man - and recite
its messages - more proof of a living mythology that, to this day,
relates information from a dark past.

The Story of Bep Kororoti
As Told by Indigenous Scholar Felicitas Barreto
by
E. V. Daniken
from
SpiritWheel Website
From a conversation with Felicitas Barreto, the celebrated
Indigenous scholar, who has lived in the jungles with the Natives on
the banks of the Rio Paru, lost to civilization, on the border of
Brazil and French Guiana for 20 years, also author of "Danzas
Indigenas Do Brasil", "Native Dances Of Brazil" with
descriptions of the ritual dances of various [Native] tribes.
Author E.V. Daniken: "Tell me, do the [Natives] still have any rites
or ritual objects that point to any kind of connection with the
universe?"
Felicitas Barreto: "Oh yes! There are the feathered men, [Natives]
who cover themselves with feathers from head to foot, to make
themselves look like birds who can rise into the cosmos so easily.
And then there are the countless types of masks, which, if one
likes, can all be interpreted along the lines of your theories. Many
of the masks have branches with several forks springing from them
like the antennae in your [photos of the Hopi and others'] cave
drawings. Often the [Natives] completely disguise themselves in
straw to make themselves resemble their [distant] ancestors.
Joao Americo Peret, one of our outstanding [Native] scholars,
recently published some photographs of Kayapo [Natives] in ritual
clothing that he took as long ago as 1952, long before Gagarin's
first space flight! If you look at those photographs, the first
thing you think of is astronauts.
The Kayapos, not to be confused
with the Kaiato, live in the south of the state of Para on the Rio
Fresco."
These photos, were taken in an Indian village on the Rio
Fresco, south of Para. In view of this really astonishing masquerade
I feel that it is important to re-emphasize that Peret took these
photographs in 1952 at a time when the clothing and equipment of
astronauts were still not familiar to all us Europeans, let alone
these [Native] Indians!
Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth in his
spaceship Vostok I for the first time on April 12, 1961, and only
since that event have astronauts in their suits become as familiar a
sight as mannequins in shop-windows.
The Kayapos in their straw
imitation spacesuits need no commentary apart from the remark that
these "ritual garments" have been worn by the Indian men of this
tribe on festive occasions since time immemorial, according to Peret.
The Kayapo legend that Joao Americo Peret told needs no commentary
either.
Peret heard it in the village of Gorotire on the banks of
the Fresco from the Indian Kuben Kran Kein, the old counselor of the
tribe, who bears the title of Gway Baba, the wise.
This is the
legend which the sage related:
"Our people lived in a big savanna,
far away from this region, from which one could see the mountain
range of Pukato Ti, the summits of which were enveloped in a cloud
of uncertainty and this uncertainty has not been cleared to this
day. The sun, tired from its long daily walk, lay down on the green
grass behind the brushwood and Mem Baba, the inventor of all things,
covered the heaven with his cloak full of hanging stars. When a star
falls down, Memi Keniti traverses heaven and takes it back to the
right place. That is the task of Memi Keniti, the eternal guardian.
"One day, Bep Kororoti, who came from the Pukato
Ti Mountains, arrived in the village for the first time. He
was clad in a 'bo'
(i.e. the straw suit in the pictures), which covered him from head
to foot. He carried a 'kop', a thunder weapon, in his hand. Everyone
in the village was terrified and fled into the bush. The men tried
to protect the women and children, and some of them attempted to
fight the intruder, but their weapons were too weak for they
crumbled to dust every time they touched Bep Kororoti. The warrior
who had come from the cosmos (or the future? - Red.) must have
laughed at the weakness of those who fought against him. To
demonstrate his strength he raised his 'kop', pointed it first at a
tree and then at a stone, and destroyed them both. Everyone believed
that in so doing Bep Kororoti wanted to show them that he had not
come to wage war with them.
"Confusion reigned for a long time. The
bravest warriors of the tribe tried to organize resistance, but in
the end they could only succumb to the presence of Bep Kororoti, for
he did no harm to them. His beauty, the radiant whiteness of his
skin, his obvious affection and love gradually enchanted everyone.
They felt safe with him and became friends.
"Bep Kororoti took
pleasure in learning how to use our weapons and how to become a good
hunter. He progressed so well he could handle our weapons better
than the best men of the tribe and was braver than the bravest men
in the village. It did not take long before Bep Kororoti was
received into the tribe as a warrior and then a young maiden sought
him as a husband and married him. They begot sons and a daughter,
whom they called Nio Pouti.
"Bep Kororoti was more clever than
anyone else so he began to instruct the others in unknown matters.
He led the men in the construction of a Ng Obi, the men's house that
all our villages have today. In it the men told the youngsters about
their adventures and so they learnt how to behave when in danger and
how to think. In truth the house was a school and Bep Kororoti was
the teacher.
"In the Ng Obi handicrafts were developed and our
weapons were improved and there was nothing that we do not owe to
the great warrior from the universe. It was he who founded the 'big
chamber' in which we discussed the trials and needs of our tribe,
and thus a better organization came into being that made life and
work easier for everybody.
"Often the young men resisted and did not
go to the Ng Obi. Then Bep Kororoti put on his 'bo' and sought the
young men; once he had done this they could no longer resist and
came quickly back to the Ng Obi because only there were they safe.
"If hunting was difficult, Bep Kororoti fetched up his 'kop' and
killed the animals without damaging them. The hunter was always
allowed to take the best piece of prey for himself, but Bep Kororoti,
who did not eat the village food, only took what was essential to
feed his family. His friends did not approve of this, but he did not
change his attitude.
"His behavior did change with the years. He no
longer went out with the others. He wanted to stay in his hut. But
when he did leave his hut he always went up into the mountains of
Pukato Ti from which he had come. One day he followed the will of
his spirit, for he could no longer master it. He left the village.
He assembled his family and only Nio Pouti was not present, for she
was away, and his departure followed rapidly. The days passed and
Bep Kororoti was not to be found. But suddenly he reappeared in the
village square, and uttered a terrifying war cry. Everyone thought
he had gone mad and they all tried to calm him down. But when the
men tried to approach him, a terrible battle took place. Bep
Kororoti did not use his weapons, but his body trembled and anyone
who touched him fell to the ground dead. The warriors died in
swarms.
"The battle lasted for days, then the fallen groups of
warriors could stand up again and continued to try to subdue Bep
Kororoti. They pursued him almost to the crest of the mountains.
Then something happened that left everyone speechless. Bep Kororoti
walked backwards to the far edge of the Pukato Ti. With his 'kop' he
destroyed everything that was near to him. By the time he had
reached the very top of the mountain range, trees and bushes had
turned to dust. Suddenly there was a tremendous crash that shook the
whole region and Bep Kororoti vanished into the air, surrounded by
fiery clouds, smoke and thunder. By this earthshaking event the
roots of the bushes were torn from the ground and the wild fruits
destroyed. Game disappeared so that the tribe began to suffer from
hunger.
"Nio Pouti, who had married a warrior and bore a son, and
was as we know a daughter of the heavenly Bep Kororoti, told her
husband that she knew where food for the whole tribe could be found,
but firs they would have to follow her into the mountains of Pukato
Ti. Urged on by Nio Pouti her husband plucked up courage and
followed her into the region of Pukato Ti. There she looked for a
"special tree" in the district of Mem Baba Kent Kre and sat on its
branches with her son in her lap. Then she told her husband to bend
the branches of the tree down till their tips touched the ground. At
the moment that this contact took place, there was a big explosion
and Nio Pouti disappeared amid clouds, smoke, dust, thunder and
lightning.
"Her husband waited for a few days. He had lost his
courage and was almost dying of hunger when he heard a crash and saw
the "tree" standing in its old place again. His surprise was great,
his wife was there again and with her Bep Kororoti and they brought
with them big baskets full of food 'such as he did not know and had
never seen'. After a time the heavenly man sat in the "tree" again
and ordered him to bend the boughs down to the earth. Upon contact,
there was an explosion and the "tree" disappeared into the air
again.
"Nio Pouti returned to the village with her husband and made
known an order of Bep Kororoti's. Everyone must leave immediately
and erect their villages in front of Baba Kent Kre where they would
get their food. Nio Pouti also said that they had to keep the seeds
of fruit and vegetables and bushes until the rainy season so that
they could put them in the earth again and reap new harvests.
"That
is how agriculture started. Our people moved to Pukato Ti and
lived there in peace; the huts of our villages grew more numerous
and they could be seen stretching from the mountains right up to the
horizon..."
I had this Kayapo legend, which was told me by the
Indian scholar Joao Americo Peret, translated literally from the
Portuguese.
Equally old as the legend is the straw spacesuit which
the Indians wear in memory of the appearance of Bep Kororoti.

La Leyenda de
Bep-Kororoti
por Jaime Padilla Ruiz
del Sitio Web
OtrasHistorias
La etnología no es, como muchos creen, algo raro carente de interés.
Esta disciplina puede ser sorprendente y puede depararnos algunas
sorpresas si sabemos ver el trasfondo de las leyendas populares que
generalmente tienen una base real: algún sucedido dejó profunda
huella en la comunidad y la historia de lo ocurrido es narrada a los
hijos, y estos a los suyos y así sucesivamente hasta llegar al
estudioso contemporáneo como una leyenda de la que se desconoce el
origen y en la que se mezclan hechos ciertos con mitos religiosos o
adornos.
En 1952 Joao Américo Peret tradujo una leyenda de los indios Kayapos
que vivían al sur de Para, a orillas del río Fresco. En ella no sólo
sorprenden los hechos sino también los atuendos típicos con los que
se visten en las celebraciones para rememorar el hecho.
A
continuación se transcribe el texto traducido de la leyenda:
"Nuestro pueblo vivía en una gran llanura muy lejos de aquí y desde
donde podía verse la cordillera Pukato-Ti, cuyas cimas estaban
siempre ocultas por la niebla de la incertidumbre, y continúan
estándolo hasta nuestros días (...). Un día llegó a la aldea un
visitante desconocido; se llamaba Bep-Kororoti y venía de la
cordillera Pukato-Ti. Vestía un bo (el traje de paja de las fotos)
que lo cubría de pies a cabeza. En la mano portaba un kop, arma que
lanzaba rayos.
Todos los de la aldea huyeron al monte aterrorizados,
los hombres corrieron a proteger a mujeres y niños y algunos
intentaron rechazar al intruso, pero sus armas eran insuficientes;
cada vez que con ellas tocaban a Bep-Kororoti, caían inmediatamente
derribados. El guerrero venido del cosmos se divertía al ver la
fragilidad de sus adversarios. A fin de darles una demostración de
su fuerza, alzó su kop y, apuntando sucesivamente a un árbol y a una
piedra, destruyó ambos. Todos comprendieron que Bep-Kororoti había
querido demostrarles que no había venido a hacer la guerra."
"Así, durante un buen tiempo, no hubo mayores problemas. Los
guerreros más valientes de la tribu intentaron oponer resistencia,
pero a la postre fueron viendo que Bep-Kororoti les estaba
resultando cada vez más imprescindible, además, no molestaba a nadie.
Poco a poco fueron sintiéndose atraídos hacia él. Su hermosura, la
blancura resplandeciente de su piel, su afectuosidad y bondad para
con todos fueron gradualmente cautivando a aquellas gentes. Todos
fueron experimentando una sensación de seguridad y fueron haciéndose
sus amigos."
"Bep-Kororoti comenzó a tomar afición al manejo de nuestras armas y
empezó a aprender el arte de la caza. Al final, sus progresos habían
sido tan grandes que llegó a aventajar a los más diestros de la
tribu y sobrepasaba en valor a los más valientes de los nuestros, y
así fue como al poco tiempo Bep-Kororoti fue aceptado como guerrero
de la tribu y una joven lo escogió como esposo y se casó con él. Tu
vieron varios hijos y una hija a la cual pusieron por nombre
Niopouti."
"Bep-Kororoti era más inteligente que los demás y pronto empezó a
enseñar cosas desconocidas para aquellas gentes. Enseñó a los
hombres a construir un ng-obi, esta asociación masculina con que hoy
cuentan todos nuestros poblados. En ellas, los hombres relataban sus
aventuras a los jóvenes y así ellos aprendían cómo debían
comportarse ante los peligros e iban formando su criterio. La
asociación masculina era en realidad una escuela y Bep-Kororoti su
profesor."
"En el ng-obi se hacían trabajos manuales y se perfeccionaban las
armas, y todo se lo debíamos al gran guerrero del cosmos. Fue él
quien fundó la "Gran Cámara" donde se discutían los grandes asuntos
de la tribu y así se logró una mejor organización, lo que facilitó
la vida y el trabajo de todos.
A menudo los jóvenes se resistían a ir al ng-obi. Entonces
Bep-kororoti se ponía su bo y salía en busca de los rebeldes
obligándolos a cumplir con su deber."
"Cuando la caza se hacía difícil, Bep-Kororoti traía su kop y mataba
los animales sin herirlos. Siempre el cazador tenía derecho a
reservarse para sí la mejor presa, pero Bep-Kororoti, que no se
alimentaba con la comida del poblado, sólo tomaba lo imprescindible
para la alimentación de su familia. Sus amigos no compartían su
opinión, pero él no alteraba su forma de proceder.
Pero, a medida que transcurrían los años, Bep-Kororoti comenzó a
comportarse de un modo diferente. Empezó a eludir a los demás,
quería permanecer en su choza. Cuando salía de su morada se dirigía
siempre a las montañas de Pukato-Ti, desde donde había venido. Pero
un día no pudo resistir más a su anhelo interior y abandonó el
poblado. Reunió a su familia, sólo faltaba Nio-Pouti, que andaba
fuera del poblado."
"Partió precipitadamente. Pasaban los días y Bep-Kororoti no
aparecía. Hasta que un día se presentó nuevamente en la plaza de la
aldea y lanzó un terrible grito de guerra. Todos pensaron que se
había vuelto loco y trataron de calmarlo, pero él se resistía a los
que pretendían acercársele. Bep-Kororoti no hizo uso de su arma,
pero su cuerpo se estremecía y el que lo tocaba caía muerto, uno
tras otro iban cayendo los guerreros.".
"La lucha se prolongó durante días enteros ya que los guerreros
derribados volvían a levantarse nuevamente y trataban de dominar a
Bep-Kororoti. Lo persiguieron hasta la cumbre de la montaña. Y ahí
sucedió algo tremendo que dejó a todos espantados."
"Bep-Kororoti volvió hasta los primeros contrafuertes de la
cordillera. Con su kop destrozó todo lo que había a su alrededor.
Cuando llegó a la cumbre de la cordillera había reducido a polvo
árboles y matorrales. Entonces se produjo una formidable explosión
que conmovió toda la región y Bep-Kororoti desapareció en el aire en
medio de nubes llameantes, humo y truenos. La tierra se había
estremecido de tal manera que había hecho saltar hasta las raíces de
las plantas y había arruinado los frutos silvestres: la selva
desapareció de modo que la tribu empezó a sentir hambre."
"NioPouti, la hija de Bep-Kororoti, que se había casado con un
guerrero y había dado a luz un hijo, dijo a su marido que ella sabía
dónde podrían hallar alimento para todo el pueblo, pero que deberían
acompañarla a la cordillera de Pukato-Ti. Ante los ruegos de
Nio-Pouti, su esposo cobró valor y la siguió hasta la región de
Pukato-Ti. Al llegar, Nio-Pouti se dirigió a la región de
Mem-Baba-Kent-Kre donde buscó un árbol especial y se sentó en sus
ramas con su hijo en la falda. En seguida, pidió a su marido que
tirara de las ramas hacia abajo hasta que sus puntas tocasen el
suelo. Cuando esto sucedió, se produjo una gran explosión y
Nio-Pouti desapareció entre nubes, humo y polvo, rayos y truenos."
"El esposo aguardó unos días, estaba desmoralizado y deseaba morir
de hambre cuando de pronto oye un estruendo y ve que el árbol está
nuevamente en su lugar original. Su sorpresa era grande; ahí estaba
de nuevo su mujer y con ella Bep-Kororoti, y traían grandes cestos
llenos de alimentos que él jamás había visto.
Después de algún
tiempo, el hombre del cosmos volvió a sentarse en el árbol
fantástico y ordenó otra vez flexional las ramas hasta tocar el
suelo. Se produjo una explosión y el árbol volvió a desaparecer en
el aire. Nio-Pouti volvió con su marido al poblado y dio a conocer
un mensaje de Bep-Kororoti todos debían emigrar y erigir sus aldeas
a. Mem-Baba-Kent-Kre, lugar donde encontraran alimento. Nio- Pouti
agregó que debían guardar las semillas de frutos, legumbres y
arbustos hasta la época lluviosa y sembrarlas entonces para tener
una nueva cosecha.
Así comenzó nuestra agricultura. Nuestro pueblo
emigró al Pukato-Ti y allí vivió en paz; las chozas de nuestras
aldeas se hicieron cada vez más numerosas y, desde las montañas, se
las veía tocar el horizonte."
Unos interpretan esta leyenda como un cuento para niños, otros como
otra leyenda más, pero hay algunos que ven claramente la visita de
un extraterrestre (humanoide), con su traje espacial (bo), rifle laser (kop) y sus amplios conocimientos.
Seguramente nunca sepamos
la verdad, pero la leyenda está ahí, para que cada uno crea lo que
quiera.
