Puzzle Pieces of History: Section 1

The Distinguishing Hue-Man

Godfrey Higgins’s book, Anacalypsis V1, (and V2) An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of Saitic Isis or an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations, and Religions, was first published in 1836 and were fascinating books to read.

Godfrey presents a fascinating idea of who the first god was and the description of what those gods looked like. But before I get into that, I would like to share what I have learned about Godfrey Higgins. This is important because whenever I buy a book, I also research the background of that scholar; you never know what kind of person that scholar is, and you could be reading incorrect information because of the prejudice that person may have.

The one thing that stands out to me about Godfrey Higgins and what I learned about him is that he spent a lot of time trying to find the truth.

“I came to a resolution to devote six hours a day to this pursuit for ten years. Instead of six hours daily for ten years, I believe I have, upon the average, applied myself to it for nearly ten hours daily for almost twenty years. In the first ten years of my search I may fairly say, I found nothing which I sought for; in the latter part of the twenty, the quantity of matter has so crowded in upon me, that I scarcely know how to dispose of it.” Godfrey Higgins words.

Knowing that this man spent all this time reading, researching, and then trying to put all the puzzle pieces together about ancient history lets me know he truly wanted to learn the truth. 10 HRS a day! Geez, that’s a lot. Most people today are working more hours than that and have no time to read or research. Imagine if you could spend that much time doing exactly what you want to do, no matter what it is.

What I’ve read from Godfrey Higgins

I want to present to you precisely a tiny snippet about what Godfrey Higgins wrote in the books I’ve read; this is important because what I am about to share with you is the most controversial thing that has to do with the origins of humanity and its religions.

“In taking a survey of the human inhabitants of the world, we find two classes, distinguished from each other by a clear and definite line of demarkation, the black and white colours of their skins. This distinguishing mark we discover to have existed in ages the most remote. If we suppose them all to have descended from one pair, the question arises, Was that pair black or white? If I were at present to say that I thought them black, I should be accused of a fondness for paradox, and I should find as few persons to agree with me, as the African negroes do when they tell Europeans that the Devil is white. (And yet no one, except a West-India planter, will deny that the poor Africans have reason on their side.) However, I say not that they were black, but I shall, in the course of this work, produce a number of extraordinary facts, which will be quite sufficient to prove, that a black race, in very early times, had more influence over the affairs of the world than has been lately suspected; and I think I shall show, by some very striking circumstances yet existing, that the effects of this influence have not entirely passed away.”

When I first read that from V1, the first book, I was shocked. This set of books was first published in 1836. Just think about how history was, back then, starting with the Atlantic slave trade, also known as the transatlantic slave trade.

But for some reason, there is an argument about the contributions of what “black” people have made to humanity. There has also been an argument, and this is crazy that this is even an argument, not because of what’s recorded in ancient history, even before Christianity, but because people really care about color in the first place. Think about it, if true history is as accurate as everyone’s individual version, then, of course, denial will be there. However, if you genuinely want to learn, you’ll study the history and research every bit of it that you can, without denying or dismissing someone else’s work. But, doing that requires a person to have to read from individuals that they particularly don’t like because of their individual opinion of them.

No matter, though, the important thing for me is to truly learn and understand the ancient history and its gods and goddesses. And with that.

I’m reminded of the Holy Bible and even the Book of Enoch, where there is some idea about what God or gods looked like.

In the Holy Bible, Revelation 1:15
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Many people believe this meant that God was “black.”

There is evidence that suggests this outside of writing, like what is mainly known as the Black Virgin Mary. These many statues and paintings can be found worldwide and are described as the accurate depiction of the Virgin Mary.

So why does this matter?

This all matters just like how it matters that some people want to find out the truth about aliens, it matters just like how it matters to people who want to know about who built the pyramids in Egypt, it matters just like how it matters to people who wish to find where the treasure is hidden at in Oak Island.

And to Godfrey Higgins, it also mattered, and that’s why he wrote those books. And because he wrote those books, which are over a 1000 pages, I understood better who the Sumerians were and what is meant by them being described as the black-headed people or the black-headed ones. It helped me understand better who the ancient Egyptians were before the invasion of the Greeks. It helped me understand better what were the contributions that “black” people made to humanity.

But most importantly, I learned something.

I learned that hidden history is written in books. What do I mean by that? Well, I described a book that was first written in 1833 by a man who said he spent almost 10 hours a day for twenty years seeking the truth about humanity’s history.

Imagine reading books written by Godfrey Higgins before reading the books from Zecharia Sitchin, Erich Anton Paul von Däniken, George Smith, and Samuel Noah Kramer. I must clarify this, Zecharia Sitchin, Erich Anton Paul von Däniken, George Smith, and Samuel Noah Kramer are all great scholars, and I have learned a lot from them.

The first book I read that started me on my journey to learning about ancient myths was from Erich von Däniken, Chariots of the Gods.

But if I were to only read books like the Chariots of the Gods, then I would only know that subject, and I wouldn’t learn anything about indigenous people and their haplogroups. I wouldn’t understand how the equatorial current works and how it could help individuals travel from one side of the world to the other.

So, what I am saying is I learned a lot by exploring and reading all different types of books from various scholars, and my library is constantly getting bigger.

More books, more research. But before I go, I have to say this, just because you read or have many books doesn’t mean you have all the information or the correct information. So that’s why I feel it’s essential to have healthy conversations about these subjects that could lead to new and more adventurous books.

Knowledge is Power.
