500 The Secret History of the World
The Rg Veda also refers to an ancestral father god known both as Prajapati and
Dyaus Pitar. Dyaus Pitar is known as the “supreme father of all”. The spread of the
Indo-Sumerian culture mixed with the Aryan incursions brought with it the origins
of the Hindu religion and the concept of light-colored skin being perceived as
better or more “pure” than darker skins. (The Sanskrit word for caste, “varna”
actually means color.)
The Indo-Sumerian-Aryan beliefs are found in Iran, though the records are very
late - dating back only as far as 600 B.C. What the experts suggest is that the
Indians and early Iranians - prior to the arrival of the Sumerians - were derived
from the same ethnic group and had been established on the Iranian plateau from
about 4000 BC speaking a Vedic Sanskrit dialect.
Though there is a considerable change from the Rg Veda to the Iranian Avesta,
we still find the great father who represents light, with a new name: Ahura Mazda.
He is the Lord of Light and his abode is on a mountaintop glowing with golden
light. The duality of light and dark is inherent in Iranian religious thought. Ahura
Mazda is on high in goodness, and the devil figure, Ahriman is “deep down in
darkness”. We note in this the mixing of the Shamanic concepts with the Inca-
Sumerian idea of a anthropomorphized god.
In the Iranian texts of 200 AD known as Manichean, we again find good and
evil equated with light and dark. However, we are told in these writings that the
problems of humanity are caused by a mixture of the two. And here, Mithra
appears as the one who defeats the “demons of darkness”.
There is another clue that deserves note: the name of the Guanche Devil,
Guayota. In the Iranian texts there is a character named Gayo Mareta who is the
“first man”. He seems to relate to Indra in the Indian versions. Gauee or gavee in
Sanskrit means cow. Mrityu in Sanskrit means death or murder, surviving in the
Indo-Aryan German language as mord, meaning murder, and in the Indo-European
English language as the word murder itself. Thus Gavo Mareta appears to be
named “Cow Murderer”. Danu was symbolized as the cow Goddess, whose
worship is best known from Egypt before Narmer. Gayo Mareta may once have
held a similar position in Iran to Indra, the murderer of Danu, the cow Goddess.
In the Pahlavi Books of about 400 BC. it was written, “From Gayo Mareta,
Ahura fashioned the family of the Aryan lands, the seed of the Aryan lands”. We
notice right away that this is an inversion. It is pretty clear that in the most ancient
times, the Goddess was worshipped, and Gayo Mareta - Guayota, the Devil,
murdered her.
In any event, we are certainly entitled to speculate on the fact that the Guanches,
Aryans, a group isolated for possibly thousands of years, spoke a near cousin to
the language of Sargon, a worshipper of the Goddess, and that the name of the
“evil” in their language, was almost identical to the name of the hero in the
Pahlavi books. Due to the fact that the Guanches were isolated for a very long,
unknown period of time, one begins to suspect that they retained their original
language from very ancient times. Perhaps there was a global, antedilivian
language. And perhaps this gives us a clue as to who was really “on first”?
When we consider the “ancient Egyptian language”, we realize that it developed
after the conquest of Narmer, and there is a very strong suggestion that Narmer
had close ties with Sumeria. The famous Narmer Palette has distinctive Sumerian
