Chapter 7: Ancient Enigmas 223<br />

The traditional Ainu lifestyle was hunting, fishing and gathering. Ainu religious<br />

beliefs center around the existence of another world of spirit essences subject to<br />

the same forces that control the visible world. The people worship animal gods,<br />

especially the bear, with ritual, song and dance. Even the Ainu language is<br />

unusual in its Asian environment. Although they possessed no system of writing,<br />

they created a rich oral tradition of stories and poems expressed in formal prose<br />

and verse. We, of course, immediately think of the Bear cults of Europe, and the<br />

bear skulls found in the caves of France dating back in the tens of thousands of<br />

years.<br />

The Ainu are a morphological problem. The characteristics that differentiate<br />

them from Asians are their hairiness and their hair “form”. The explanation is that<br />

there is a strong admixture of Caucasoid genetics in the Ainu. Some experts<br />

consider them to be related to the Australian aborigines, and others think that they<br />

represent an independent grouping altogether. More recent studies have connected<br />

them genetically to Turkic populations of Central Asia, a combination of<br />

caucasoid and mongoloid genes.<br />

So how are we to relate this “archaeology” of a “preliterate” culture to the fact<br />

that there is evidence of nearby remains of a former civilization far more advanced<br />

than the Jomon? I think that noting the dates might be important. It is as though<br />

the Jomon were survivors of a cataclysm. The infrastructure of their society may<br />

have been destroyed, along with many of the artifacts that might have been<br />

discovered by archaeologists of our day, and they began anew on a planet that had<br />

been swept clean - except for stone structures that survived the maelstrom.<br />

Global Evidence of Ancient, Pre-Historic High Civilizations<br />

Over and over again we find these odd clues that point to an ancient civilization<br />

that existed something over 12,000 years ago. There has been a raging controversy<br />

for generations between pro-Atlanteans and anti-Atlanteans about this. There seem<br />

to be sufficient archaeological remains to justify a serious scientific study based on<br />

such a hypothesis but so far, there are no “takers” in the mainstream scientific<br />

community. Archaeology and ethnology, being observational sciences, and not<br />

experimental sciences, have built their entire framework upon the study of those<br />

remains. And when we look closely at the array of discoveries in those fields, we<br />

note bits and pieces of cultures of almost unspeakable age. The fact that<br />

uniformitarian science barely allows the idea of cataclysmic destruction to be part<br />

of the hypothesis cripples archaeologists and, in the end, may make fools of them<br />

all.<br />

Without the algorithm of cyclic cataclysm, archaeologists cannot fully<br />

understand what they observe, nor can they explain the anomalies here and there,<br />

and the lack of other evidence that ought to be here and there (if one assumes great<br />

antiquity of civilization with no cataclysms). The fact seems to be that, what does<br />

continue to exist in terms of archaeological remains from times before 7,000 or<br />

more years ago, have been subjected to geological and cosmic cataclysms of<br />

almost incomprehensible violence and few major relics remain for perusal. Those<br />

few, however, are cast aside as the anomalies of archaeology and ethnology, and
