Most of us have heard of the Nordic
--not just white, but blond and redheaded -- mummies
that were discovered in CHINA. They were so well
preserved that one of them, the one that was pictured
in the "Reader's Digest" feature on these
mummies, looks like he just went to sleep.
In fact, the mummies are so outstandingly
Northern European looking that one historian thought
his colleagues who brought the news to him were
pulling a joke on him.
This gentleman was a linguist who
had theorized that many early Chinese technological
advances were adopted from Indo-European "barbarians,"
many of whom were blond and red-headed (See August
19, 2000 - WHEN THE WAGONS
FIRST ROLLED WEST).
This linguist was also an expert on
ancient Chinese language and literature. He noted
the similarity between many ancient Chinese legends
and those of ancient Greece and Iran. He also made
a long list of otherwise inexplicable ancient Chinese
words that were Indo-European in origin. One of
these words was "wheel."
So when his colleagues told him that
mummies had been found in China that were not only
white but also blond and red-headed Indo-European
stock, he thought they were joking with him. When
he saw the mummies, even with his foreknowledge,
he was still shocked.
The word "wheel" in ancient
Chinese was especially revealing because almost
nobody today thinks of the wheel as something a
civilization would ADOPT from another culture. We
assume that every civilization had the wheel all
the way back to cavemen.
Cartoons normally show cavemen inventing
the first wheel. This shows how accepted the idea
is that the wheel is a very, very primitive invention.
In the real world, the ONLY early
"civilization" where we had thought the
wheel existed before Indo-European invasions was
-- by a strange coincidence -- China.
Indo-Europeans, or "Scythians,"
brought the wheel to Egypt within recorded history,
and history tells us they were the opposite of a
"civilization." These, OUR ancestors,
are officially "barbarians" in the history
we pay professors to teach our children.
Apparently China, just like Egypt
and Mesopotamia, got the wheel from our "barbarian"
ancestors. Please be sure to read August 19, 2000

I get a bit of amusement from the
standard line about how wildly advanced the builders
of the pyramids were, both in Egypt and in pre-Columbian
America. NONE OF THESE WILDLY ADVANCED PYRAMID BUILDERS
HAD THE WHEEL!
