My father had brought us up strictly with firm religious beliefs. During those days when I had to travel from my home to elsewhere in the country, my father had strictly forbidden us not to eat in Muslim restaurants because, as Hindus, we don't eat beef. Well, we had our own minds and what more with our mix of friends from all races/religions, we quietly sneaked into Mamak shops for roti canai/tea and Malay stalls for nasi lemak. Of course, we will ascertain that there is no beef in the food they serve us.

With such a strict upbringing it will be incumbent upon my religious belief that I should not be present when Muslims prayers are recited. Fair enough isn't it?

Untwisting history (Honesty begin in schools and history) (Dishonesty, lying and curi too)

Lembah Bujang was a settled society and lasted a long time, as can be seen from the large quantities of Chinese earthenware shards discovered in the area.

A huge iron-smelting site that archaeologists have been excavating since 2009 in Sungai Batu, Kedah, testifies to highly organised industrial activity that dates back to before 500 BCE.Bujang Valley (in Malay, Lembah Bujang) boasts more than 50 ruins of ancient Hindu-Buddhist temples, candi, and related artifacts. The built works date from about the 500BCE-1300CE, making Kedah home to one of the earliest civilisations in Southeast Asia, certainly the region’s oldest Hindu-Buddhist complex.

The remains of an ancient jetty along the Muda river strengthen the case for the area as a major trading post. Using Optically-Stimulated Luminescence (OSL measures the last time quartz sediment was exposed to light) technology, the jetty has been certified as dating to 582 BCE. That makes Sungai Batu the oldest industrial site in Southeast Asia and the jetty the oldest man-made structure. The level of organisation also makes it highly probable that this is the site of the oldest civilisations in Southeast Asia.

By way of comparison, the Sungai Batu ruins are about 1,200 and 1,600 years older than Borobudur on the island of Java (circa ninth century) and Angkor Wat (circa 12th century), respectively.

Current Truth Students Of the 21st CenturyHave Been Deprived Of: What on earth happened? - A Super-Long Journey To Morality, Revelations and Prayers

Mammals were derived in the Triassic Period (about 252 million to 201 million years ago) from members of the reptilian order Therapsida. The first apes evolved about 25 million years ago and by 20 million years ago were a very diverse group. Within the last 10 million years, however, many ape species became extinct as the earth’s climate cooled and dried and their forested environments changed to woodland and grassland. There are now only about 20 living species of apes ; Great Apes.

Homo erectus, who lived from 1.8 million years ago, invented language and used it to hunt and build boats to colonise remote islands such as Flores in Java and Crete. Evidence narrows the timing of this hominid’s final stand on Java to about 100,000 years ago. They arrived on Java by about 1.6 million years ago. It’s possible that Homo floresiensis, controversial half-sized hominids nicknamed hobbits, and recently reported Homo luzonensis in the Philippines evolved from H. erectus.

Fossil remains of Homo naledi discovered in a South African cave suggest they lived around the same time as our ancestors, the first evidence of another species of hominin coexisting with the first humans in Africa. Both in Africa and Eurasia, H. sapiens Homo who appeared more than 200,000-300000 years ago in East Africa, met with and interbred with archaic humans.

In fact, the signal is discernible: all non-Africans, from the New Guineans to the French to the Han Chinese, carry somewhere between
1-4% Neanderthal (an extinct species or subspecies of archaic humans who lived in Eurasia until about 40,000 years ago) DNA.

A Long Journey To Language and Culture Creation

Modern humans and Neanderthals share a derived version of a transcription factor gene known as FOXP2 that differs from the chimpanzee version by two amino acid replacements. FOXP2 influences the fine-motor control of facial muscles required for the production of speech. modern humans have acquired changes to the regulation of their FOXP2 genes that seem likely to cause their FOXP2 to be expressed differently to that of Homo neanderthalensis.

Combining these genetic hints with the differences in symbolic and cultural behaviour that are evident from the fossil record suggests language arose in our lineage sometime after our split from our common ancestor with Neanderthals, and probably by no later than 150,000 to 200,000 years ago. These considerations suggest that the anatomical, neurological and physiological underpinnings of language are shared among all of humanity. If the capacity for language did evolve more than once, all traces of it seem to have been lost. This conclusion is buttressed by the FOXP2 evidence (all humans share the same derived gene) and by the fact that genetic data point to all modern humans descending from a common ancestor

Fully modern behaviour, including figurative art, music, self-ornamentation, trade, burial rites etc. is evident by 30,000-40,000 years ago.

An Ultra-Long Journey To Religiosity and First Temple

Sun Worshipping (Since the time of First Temple): If so lost and divided , return to the origin. Veneration of the unselfish-and-readily-available-free-for-all sun or a representation of the sun as a deity, as in Atonism in Egypt in the 14th century BCE.

Although sun worship has been used frequently as a term for “pagan” religion, it is, in fact, relatively rare. Though almost every culture uses solar motifs, only a relatively few cultures (Egyptian, Indo-European, and Meso-American) developed solar religions. All of these groups had in common a well-developed urban civilization with a strong ideology of sacred kingship. In all of them the imagery of the sun as the ruler of both the upper and the lower worlds that he majestically visits on his daily round is prominent.The sun god occupied a central position in both Sumerian and Akkadian religion, but neither the Sumerian Utu nor the Semitic Shamash was included among the three highest gods of the pantheon. The sun was one of the most popular deities, however, among the Indo-European peoples and was a symbol of divine power to them. Surya is glorified in the Vedas of ancient India as an all-seeing god who observes both good and evil actions. He expels not only darkness but also evil dreams and diseases.

Gobekli Tepe in today's Turkey was constructed 11,000 years ago and may be the first human temple. Some researchers even claim it was the site of the Garden of Eden. Swiderians were responsible for the creation of Göbekli Tepe. Anthropological evidence suggests that at least some Swiderians were possibly Neanderthal-sapiems hybrid. Likely the memory of their great ancestors, who might have included Solutreans, Gravettians and even Neanderthal-sapiens hybrids, that is enshrined in the twelvefold rings of T-shaped pillars found in the temple.

Snakes are omnipresent at Göbekli Tepe. Snakes are among the most often depicted animals at Göbekli Tepe. They appear on pillars, on porthole stones, on small stone plaquettes and shaft straightheners. Even today you may have the luck to encounter a poisonous Viper when visiting the site. The original text from the King James Bible of Genesis 1: 27 says “And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” Lilith is said to have been the first woman in the world and was created by God at the same time as he created Adam. from paradise.

According to the "first Eve" story Lilith was created by God from dust and placed to live in the garden with Adam until problems arose between Adam and Lilith when Adam tried to exercise dominance over Lilith. One story tells that Lilith refused to lay beneath Adam during sex. She believed they were created equal, both from the dust of the earth, thus she should not have to lay beneath him. After Adam disagreed, Lilith fled the Garden of Eden to gain her independence.

Adam told the Lord of the Temple that Lilith had left and Lord sent three angels, Senoi, Sansenoi, and Sammangelof, to retrieve her. The three angels found Lilith in a cave bearing children but Lilith refused to come back to the garden. The angels told her they would kill 100 of her children every day for her disobedience. In revenge, she is said to rob children of life and is responsible for the deaths of still-born infants and crib deaths (SIDS). Male children are at risk of Lilith's wrath for 8 days after birth (until circumcision) and girls are at risk for 20 days. Although Lilith stole children's lives in the night, she agreed not to kill the children who had amulets of either of the three angels.

After the angels'(messengers) departure, Lilith tried to return to the garden but upon her arrival she discovered that Adam already had another mate, Eve. Out of revenge, Lilith had sex with Adam while he was sleeping and "stole his seed." With his seed she bears 'lilium,'

Origin Of DV

In August 490 BC. after the battle of Marathon, Philippides was sent to deliver the message of victory to Athens. This wasn’t a simple task. The distance between Marathon and Athens is about 40 km. The plains between weren’t secured. Persian soldiers were spread everywhere. And to make things worse, Philippides had just fought in the battle. He was probably injured or at least weary. (We can assume) Nonetheless, Philippides ran the entire distance without stopping once. At his arrival he exclaimed nenikēkamen; “We have won.” Shortly afterwards he collapsed and died.

This story may or may not be true. But it became a legend.
It may be an extreme case but at that time you could never be sure that your message would arrive. Thus, people signed their letters with deo volente (D.V) in the hope the delivery was meant to be.

Deo volente =
