Another fantastic slice of our mysterious history @tremendospercy. Excellent work my friend, and I agree that there really does appear to be more here than meets the eye! Indeed when you think about the concept of angels you realise just how widespread this mystery has spread it's web.
Certainly it's not too much of a stretch to think of the bird as some form of craft, I mean how would you explain an aeroplane it you saw one even 200 years ago! I have heard of these legends attributed to unconected cvilisations having similar brain archetypes, but that really doesn't cut it for me. For one these aren't simply scratchings of bird men on cave walls these are intricate re-countings of history/myth. Imagine if our world was taken back to the stone age, imagine how the story of this world would pass into legend. The age where man was bewitched by the by the black screen, began to rebel against the concept of gender and build an artificial intelligence that went on to become his God .. alright the last one I added (but watch this space) but shit it would be a hard sell eh? ;)
I happen to think that there is more than a shred of truth within all these stories and I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it next! Great to have you back with another excellent post dude!
Thanks for reading and leaving an awesome comment as always mate.
You're dead right regarding ancient people trying to explain futuristic technology. You would only need to go back 100 years and you'd look like you were from 1000's of years in the future to the people of 1917. Imagine a planet millions of years ahead of us in development which isn't really a stretch considering the vast expanse of space and the billions of years our Universe has been forming. The people would seem godlike to us, their technology would be beyond description.
I don't see it as a leap to hypothesise that this happened multiple times on a worldwide scale in the distant past, to not consider it is ignorant and shortsighted.
Thanks again my freind.
