General Earwa / The History of Earwa and an Alternative History of Earth
« on: August 10, 2015, 09:29:37 pm »
Recently, I have noticed several links between the history of Earwa and the alternative history of Earth proposed by the likes of Michael Tsarion. From what I have gathered from a few of Tsarion's talks, his history of Earth is incredibly similar to Earwa's. Sorry if this is too long, I just feel like sharing.
Now let's get this out of the way, both Tsarion and J.R.R. Tolkien were heavily inspired by a variety of European mythologies and the Bible. Tsarion formulates his history of the world from these myths and Tolkien created his fantasy universe using these myths as a base. In turn, Bakker's main influence seems to be Tolkien, so these guys are all drawing from the same mythological pool to form their ideas. Because of this, it's easy to see why there are similarities between Tsarion and Bakker. However, the similarities are INCREDIBLY pronounced, at least in my eyes.
The gist of Tsarion's alternative history of our Earth is extremely similar to Bakker's history of Earwa. I'll try to lay out this history as simply and bare bones as I can because it is surprisingly deep. About 50,000 years ago, an insidious and technologically advanced alien race crash landed on Earth and became stranded. They immediately began to manipulate the local population of Earth (humans being the focus) with the end goal being the being the creation of a slave race entirely subservient to them.
The main way they went about this was the genetic alteration of Earth's population to make it inherently subservient, yet also intelligent enough to be highly effective slaves. They also manufactured a sort of proto Judaism to indoctrinate the masses, with them holding the equivalent role of God in the Bible and any dissenters to their plans representing Satan.
Anyhow, despite their indoctrination and genetic alterations, humans eventually caught wind of the terrible nature of these aliens and retreated to other parts of the planet. However, the aliens still desired a slave race and learning from their mistakes, created another slave race by genetically altering reptiles (making the reptiles humanoid) resulting in a cold blooded, brutal and obedient race. Anyone familiar with David Icke will correctly guess where that story leads!
So after the humans caught onto the manipulations of the Inchoroi, ahem, "aliens" these aliens began a war against humanity using all of their technological prowess in an attempt to destroy them.
According to the talk I listened to, Tsarion believes that this war happened about 11,000 years ago and was a literal apocalypse. Both sides were ravaged and the aliens were reduced to only a handful of survivors along with most of their technology being destroyed or lost.
After this, the aliens retreated underground, both literally and figuratively! They began manipulating humanity subtly due to the loss of their former powers. Using their disguised humanoid reptile creations as puppets, they began infiltrating governments, dictating religions, society, customs etc. with their goal still being the enslavement or destruction of most of humanity.
There's so much more to it and you really have to listen to the talks like I did or presumably read his books to get a full picture of just how similar Tsarion's history and Bakker's fantasy are. Obvious links can be made between the Mandate, the Thousand Temples, the nations of Earwa, MAGIC (to name a few) and the stuff that appears in Tsarion’s work. Of course, there are some VITAL differences in the specifics of the two histories yet the overall big picture is remarkably similar.
