More Watchers!

Sorry, first link is in German. wiebke can read the source, the rest will have to believe me.-

German online magazine Telepolis reports that linguists from New Zealand quote statistic evidence that the Indo-European family of languages originated 8.500 to 9.000 years ago in the highlands of Anatolia. The findings are by no mean non-controversial or uncontested, but still.

All of us who have been at GrisseCon know who lived exactly in that place exactly at that time. Did these people really invent everything we use, even the precursor of the effin' language today's global mainstream culture is carried by???

At a slightly different note: wiebke told me at the chat that Ricardo was totally surprised and flabberghasted at GrisseCon when he listened to Andy Collins' lecture about the Watchers - because he had never heard of them, but realised immediately that they were almost identical to the Chosen in his books (that he thought he had invented all by himself)!! I thought he'd done it all on purpose, masterfully working with archetypes from every human culture, making the Watchers the hub of a civilisation that spread worldwide, but I was wrong! It wasn't on purpose, it was the archetypes asserting themselves by purely memetic strategies: being part of our culture, Ricardo knew the Watchers without realising that he did.

Now he knows officially and up-front. I only hope that new knowledge won't interfere with his finishing the third part of his wonderful book...

wild theories, links
