The Initial Cause
We have said that astronomy and geometry start in Ancient Greece, at our 40 degree latitude
and that this knowledge travels West 1600 years later to Italy at the same latitude sparking a
voyage funded by Madrid, Spain which leads again to the same latitude, the Vega latitude, at
Nephi, United States of our message involving the next great adventure, space voyages; The
United States landed on the Moon in 1969. It turns out Anatolia is at the same latitude. This
seems to be one of the regions where settling down from wandering and gathering and living in
settlements began. Vega passes overhead here and takes the idea to Greece, then Italy, then
Madrid, then Nephi, Unites States. We have said that megalithic structures at Gobekli Tepe
include stone pillars with anthropomorphic symbols, the first known written word for God. That
the word for God and the word for Gate look almost the same. That, the first known written
word for God appears at Gobekli Tepe, that the Gate for humanity is along the 40 degree latitude
traveled by Vega that takes us from Anatolia to Greece to Italy to Spain to Nephi, United States.
We can now go further; we can look for the cause of this effort by the Italians, funded by Spain,
brought about by Greece to find a Westerly route to India. It actually began in China, as we will
now show…
The Silk Road was a network of trade routes used from 200 BCE until the mid 15th century
joining the East and West, spanning 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles).
The network (also called the Silk Routes) began with the Han dynasty’s expansion into Central
Asia around 114 BCE. It began when the envoy Zhang Qian was commissioned to explore the
unknown lands beyond to establish trading partners and allies.
The bridge between the East and west came with the Parthian Empire (Persian tribes) stretching
from Anatolia (in Turkey) to what is today Afghanistan. By 100 BCE Chinese silk was sought by
Rome, Egypt, and Greece as well as tea, dyes, perfumes, and porcelain. Western exports were
horses, camels, honey, wine, and gold. Few people travelled the entire route but rather relied on
a succession of middlemen stationed along the routes. An exchange of ideas in religion
(particularly Buddhism) and in the sciences came with the trade.
The Silk Road abruptly ended with the rise of the Ottoman Empire in 1453 severing the trade
between the East and the West. This resulted in what became known as the Age of Discovery,
European Colonialism, and globalization efforts. Thus we see our path of Vega that traces our
gateway to the future began with the Silk Road which arose from the desire for business and
trade between the East and West, arguably centered around silk and tea.
Putting Together Ancient History
How do we take our story further? We have to put together prehistory, and this is an effort
currently underway. It is done by studying ancient languages and connecting their components
to one another to discern their origins, and by mapping lineages and migrations with the current
technology of decoding the human genome.
Proto-Indo-European (PIE) is thought to be the common ancestor of the Indo-European
language family. Thought to be spoken from 4500 BC to 2500 BC (Late Neolithic to Bronze
Ages) its origin thought to be in the Pontic-Caspian Steppes of Eastern Europe.
Current day speakers of PIE include the Spanish, English, Portuguese, Hindustani, Bengali,
Russian, Punjabi, German, Persian, French, Marathi, Italian, and Gujarati.
