Agriculture Wasn't Invented 11,000 Years Ago. It Was Reinvented.

Description

The Toba supervolcano eruption 74,000 years ago produced a volume of magma approximately 3,000 times greater than the Mount Saint Helens eruption of 1980. Danny Hillman cites published research suggesting that human populations - potentially numbering in the millions before the event - were reduced to only a few thousand survivors in its aftermath. That bottleneck coincides with the first documented worldwide human migration around 70,000 years ago - and Danny raises the question directly. Was that migration a response to the catastrophe - a surviving remnant of humanity dispersing to repopulate a devastated world? That question anchors the broader framework Danny has developed independently - a cycles of civilization model in which human history is not a single linear progression but a repeated sequence of rise, catastrophe, and reconstruction. The conventional starting point of that history - Mesopotamia as the oldest known civilization - was already being challenged before Gobekli Tepe was discovered. After it, the claim became almost impossible to defend. Gobekli Tepe was constructed before agriculture existed, which means the people who built it were not the first clever human beings stumbling toward civilization. They were survivors of something that came before - already in possession of the knowledge to build at that scale. Agriculture itself, conventionally dated to around 11,000 years ago, Danny reframes as a reinvention rather than an invention. In Indonesia, that framework has a physical counterpart - a 120 meter pyramid hidden beneath thick forest vegetation in the Toba Lake region, still well preserved, its existence unknown until Danny and his team found it along with megalithic artifacts bearing triangular markings. The cycles of civilization are not theoretical. They are buried in the landscape, waiting to be found.

DNA evidence has proven the ‘Out of Africa’ theory to be false.

Cultivated food forests are the better way to produce food.

This is an AMAZING slide show - this is what my mind has been trying to construct as I study world mythology and take it seriously, world religion, comparing them, and physical sciences - for material dating and chronology of natural history, and overlay them in a visually simple way. THANK YOU FOR THIS. You "read my mind".

I spent an hour on the Phone with Michael Davias the other day. It was pretty awesome. We've had many civilizations. I've figured it all out and I have a massive disclosure coming.

Call it crazy to think this... but I think Gunang Padang, Nan Madol and Yonogumi may possibly be from the first floods... During Mu/Lemuria... While Atlantis was being Founded and possibly while the Tepe's were being added to... there are four to that we know to date. One the Turkish government Flooded for a Reservoir... just before Gobekli was found. And then Kahran Tepe got found and DID WE NOT JUST FIND ANOTHER TEPE of sorts? Gobekli holding the LARGEST TO DATE so far. They are getting to be like the "Henges" across the planet... All aligned to each other and the cosmos... Starting to see a pattern here with Pyramids as well... Just popping up where ever and aligned to SPECIFIC POINTS while HOLDING SACRED GEOMETRY SECRETS... Which almost always Points to some Earth related secret.

We just keep recycling ♻️ our civilizations it seems but consider our findings to be myths . I believe the ancients were more knowledgeable than us now . Love is always present thank goodness!

According to Diodor agriculture was first invented by Osiris (which is called Prithu, an incarnation of Vishnu, in Hindu texts). He was the fifth of the eight Netheru (a Sanskrit word, meaning guardian, watcher; the Rigveda called this group "Vasus", the Greeks call them Titans): Ptah, Amun Re, Shu, Geb, Osiris, Seth, Isis (she replaced Khemet, the Kama of the Hindus, because of his behaviour) and the older Horus (Haroeris). They ruled the world from Egypt. Their reign begun according to dates of Diodor (Helios = Amun Re, the second of the Netheru ruled 23.500 BC) and Manetho (Ptah = the first of the Netheru ruled for 9000 years) about 32.500 BC, 1000 years after the date of the first great flood, given by Berossos. And according to Herodot it ended "17.000 years before the time of Amasis" (about 17.500 BC). From these dates I calculated that Osiris ruled round about 20.000 BC.
