[Why our area has its unique political and religious attitudes.]

We are continuing to pursue the first people in our area from pre-historic time. Archaeologists have developed a significant record from artifacts. The history of these Original Americans is just now being written.

What does Anno Lucis have to do with the Original Americans? 4000 BCE.

BaíBel or Babylon, depending on translation, was under the brutal emperor called Orion, Osiris, Marduk, Baíal, Nimrod, or ‘god of 50 names,” depending on the culture. Based on his designation of a hunter of people and nuances of stories, he correlates to Gilgamesh. About 4000 BCE, his dominion exploded, resulting in dispersion of people across the planet. Consequently, the location and time are the Cradle of Civilization.

The Inga Stone near the Atlantic coast of Brazil has engravings for Orion. Translation of other etchings by multiple researchers correspond to Phoenician language from the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Dating of the inscriptions are circa 4000 BCE.

Along the Ouachita River in the lower Mississippi River delta, mounds abound. The people established the oldest earthwork mound civilization about 3600 BCE at Watson Break, before the Pyramids. The people operated with a non-hierarchal culture for the next thousands of years, it appears because of prior imperial experience. In our archaeological survey along the Ouachita, numerous other mounds were found from that era forward. The first evidence is about 4000 BCE.

Anno Lucis (AL), a Latin phrase translated as “year of light,” is a Masonic designation as their beginning of time measurement. Anno Lucis corresponds to 4000 added to the Gregorian Calendar. The phase also translates as “year of Lucifer,” with its associated rituals.

Anno Mundi (AM), a Latin phrase translated as “year of the world,” is a Jewish designation as their beginning of time measurement. The rabbinic calculations are about 3761 years added to the Gregorian calendar.

Irish cleric James Ussher in 1650 took Egyptian-Hebrew dates and ages to calculate noon, October 23, 4004 BCE as a beginning of time correlations for historical events.

Why 4000 BCE? That is the era of the first writing type records developed by the Sumerian and Egyptian hieroglyphs. Simply, that is the first period of records that we know.

What in the world is going on? In Susa, Mesopotamia, (now Iran) people were making pottery by 3600 BCE Central, eastern, and southern Asia were doing metalwork. Southern Caucasus Mountain cultures were using bronze and building architectural structures. By 4000 BCE the Minoan culture had settled on the Crete Island of the Mediterranean Sea likely from Phoenicia.

Greek history states the Phoenician culture had settled from the Persian sea below Babylon to Byblos by about 4500 BCE. By 3500 BCE, perhaps earlier, Phoenicians were floating rafts of cedar logs, guided by sea-going ships, to build support-posts for an Egyptian temple on the upper Nile at Hierakonpolis.

Unequivocally, people and advanced cultures existed and spread around the world by 4000 BCE.

Three different calendar systems attribute their beginning of time-accounting to near 4000 BCE. Some interpret the beginning of time-calendar to be the beginning of physical-time and consequently physical creation.

Physics relationships, archaeological artifacts, and historical narratives show an alternative. Understandably, any deviation from a groups’ tradition and religious perception evokes a passionate emotional reaction.

Let us look further to see that there is more agreement than an initial reaction. Definitive dates prior to 4000 BCE are highly subjective, simply because of analytical tools and very limited artifacts.

Historical dates assigned by investigators prior to the 1980s tend to be correlations. For example, a type of pottery is based on a corresponding pottery and its supposed date, without a clear, established fixed reference. Consequently, circular reasoning and conjecture enters many old dates.

Since the 1980s, numerous analytical tools are available to assign dates more accurately. Ideally, we would like to take all old artifacts and things used to create dates, to expose them with now available tools. Only then would we have a correlating date. Realistically, with present abilities, that simply is not plausible.

Although various translations of historical works relate to different length of time for early pre-history, corresponding events are identifiable. Consequently, a common time-accounting becomes established at that period. 4000 BCE fits that analysis.

Why is 4000 BCE era so significant? Greek, Sumerian, Egyptian, Hebrew, Native American, and numerous other cultures around the planet have stories about disruption of society corresponding to that era. The Greek tradition, like many others, have a transition from a silver age of knowledge to a less capable bronze age. In fact, current archaeology uses the old Greek Ages from Bronze forward. That is a topic for its own discussion.

Sea-going vessels, with known metal artifacts, make it feasible to travel from Phoenicia or Minoa to the Atlantic, then island hop to the Americas. Similarly, crews could travel up the Atlantic to Scandinavia, where southern influence of organized society is seen by 4000.

In history, coincidences are not.

Think about 4000 BCE: Does the start of time-keeping necessarily correspond to the start of physical time? Can you imagine taking your family on a multi-week sea-journey with 23-people in a Columbus sized ship, smaller than boats on Grand Lake?
