I’ve argued lengthy and loud that the polytheistic gods weren’t supernatural deities however flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials. I am not the one one who has come to this conclusion – there’s a complete set of ‘historical astronaut’ buffs who even have argued equally lengthy and loud that the mythologies of the gods are actually the historical past of extraterrestrials which have influenced humanity over the millennia. Slightly than cowl generalities but once more, I will give attention to in all probability the very best recognized of the polytheistic gods – Zeus, IMHO the extraterrestrial (although one might nearly choose any of the 1000’s of polytheistic deities and carry out an identical evaluation).
Zeus vs. God: The Greek god Zeus (Jupiter within the Roman pantheon of gods) was a King-of-Kings deity, prime of the totem pole, however in contrast to the monotheistic God…
Zeus was born and had a precarious begin in life and childhood. His daddy wasn’t a really pleasant father determine. Actually the daddy of Zeus, the Titan god Cronus (the product of Gaia and Uranus who was later accomplished a mischief by Cronus) actually sucked big-time. Cronus swallowed all of his new born children so that they, sooner or later, would not turn into rivals and a ache within the ass by difficult his rule. Fortuitously, Zeus’s mom, Rhea, got here to the rescue and tricked Cronus into swallowing a substitute stone as a substitute of Zeus. Child Zeus was secluded away to Crete and raised independently by nymphs, coming again ultimately to get daddy to vomit up his siblings, they usually collectively gave Cronus his simply deserts within the battle of the Titans vs. the Olympians.
So Zeus, in contrast to God, needed to work and combat his approach to the highest job.
Zeus lived on Earth – Mount Olympus. Mount Olympus at the very least is a very actual place one can sink one’s enamel into, in contrast to the nebulous Godly abode of Heaven.
Zeus additionally shared energy, in the principle along with his brothers Poseidon and Hades, but in addition together with numerous Olympic goddesses – the other intercourse. God doesn’t share energy; actually not with females.
There are statues of Zeus commissioned whereas he was nonetheless Greek’s all highly effective chief cook dinner and bottle washer, so we all know in the present day what Zeus appeared like (and our imaginations and representations of God’s photos are normally molded on photos of Zeus).
Zeus and Intercourse: Zeus might be extra well-known for his sexual exploits than anything!
In contrast to God, Zeus ‘married’, two and even thrice. Firstly there was the Titaness goddess Metis, who produced Zeus’s daughter Athena through a really uncommon mating course of. Zeus apparently swallowed his pregnant spouse and she or he gave delivery to Athena in Zeus’s head which needed to be break up open to launch the child; properly really Athena was ‘born’ absolutely grown and armed (and presumably clothed as properly). Now I put to you that no human in even the wildest drug induced state would conjure up such a fantasy. As an alternative, it is a misinterpretation of some type of high-tech alien course of little understood by the traditional Greek historians. See beneath for additional evaluation.
Secondly, Zeus ‘married’ Themis, one more Titaness goddess. That union produced the Fates, Dike, and Eirene. Lastly, Zeus ‘married’ Hera – the Queen of Olympus and his sister as well – from which extra offspring got here, like Ares. However was Zeus a devoted hubby? Not in your Nellie; not a snowball’s probability in Hades!
Zeus had sexual wishes that simply would not give up. God by no means lusted after Mom Mary or Eve I guess! Anyway, Zeus, through mortal ladies (and normally through trickery if not outright drive), fathered a who’s who in Greek mythological demigods and demigoddesses – the hybrids that end result from the mating of gods/goddesses with mortals. There was Helen of Troy; Heracles (Hercules); Perseus; Castor, Polydeuces, Minos and the Muses for starters. The randy previous bugger even mated with one other of his personal sisters, Demeter producing Persephone (who later had a randy run-in with Zeus’s brother, Hades).
Talking of Minos (son of Zeus and his rape sufferer Europa) and hybrids, there’s one other instance of bizarre unions; births and ensuing offspring that is suggestive of high-tech. Now it appears Minos pissed off Zeus’s brother Poseidon. Poseidon, ever ingenious, induced Mrs. Minos (Pasiphae) to lust after a bull (and presumably the bull to lust after Mrs. Minos). The top product of this union grew to become that human-bovine hybrid, the Minotaur (and that is no bull!).
As an apart, in case you assume Zeus is the sexual exception relating to lusting after us mortals and never the sexual rule in mythology, assume once more. Greek/Roman mythology is filled with X-rated amorous tales for the over-18 solely. You simply have to think about Eros/Cupid and Aphrodite/Venus. The latter additionally mated with a mortal male producing a few of the subsequent technology (fortunate man). Now Aphrodite, like Athena, had a quite odd ‘delivery’. She was additionally ‘born’ because of some bizarre biology between seawater foam and people severed non-public elements of Zeus’s grandfather, Uranus (see beneath for extra graphic particulars).
That is simply the tip of the iceberg within the ‘who begat who’ and beneath what circumstances, and that god-mortal relationship is not confined to the Greek (and Roman) pantheon.
God will get into the act within the sense that the Outdated Testomony references these “Sons of God” getting it on with the “Daughters of Males”.
Then there are American Indian tales such because the one from the Algonquin tribe that relates the story of the mortal Algon and the Sky-Lady he fell in love with. There are these from South America (Peru) the place you may have the mortal Ollantay and the love of his life, Cusicollur, a direct descendent from the Inca Solar-God Viracocha. Additionally Peruvian, involving a son or incarnation of Viracocha, identify of Coniraya, who had it off with Cavillaca, a high-ranking however however mortal Inca who acquired pregnant in a type of quite uncommon mythological methods – on this case by consuming sperm-laden fruit (a case of synthetic insemination maybe?). Then you may have the demigod Sigurd (Siegfried) who shacks up along with his aunt Brynhildr (Brunnhilde), initially a goddess, a shield-maiden or Valkyrie in Norse mythology, however who was reworked right into a mortal earlier than Sigurd met her. These and extra mirror the overall theme of amorous god-mortal relationships in Greek mythology.
Now there needs to be a proof aside from the apparent one (it is all fiction) how both supernatural beings and/or aliens can mate with people. I dismiss the potential of there being any actually actual supernatural deities, in order that leaves ET as the opposite possibility. Now mythologies across the globe file that the ‘gods’ created human beings. The one approach that would have been accomplished is by their utilizing extremely superior biotechnology, bio-engineering and different genetic manipulation methods.
A part of that creation course of was ensuring people had been sexually and genetically appropriate with their creators. Why they (deities or aliens) would want that’s for the second unanswerable. As a minimum it means that numerous life types within the cosmos cannot be all that dissimilar at a biochemical degree, and may suggest {that a} terrestrial-extraterrestrial connection extends farther again and is deeper than one might on chance anticipate.
However again to alien-human genetic know-how than permits our sexual and reproductive compatibility, the parallel is, ethical and moral concerns apart, that is genetic know-how we ourselves may be able to within the not all that distant future. In concept, even when a type of quite perverted concept, we might manipulate our genetics, and the genetics of one other terrestrial species, to create a human-animal hybrid. Actually this has already been completed with much less advanced life types. The time period ‘Frankenfish’ involves thoughts in context, although ‘GloFish’ is extra appropriate. It was the switch of the gene from a jellyfish right into a zebrafish in order that the fish grew to become fluorescent. Although not created for the aim, they are often obtained within the aquarium/pet commerce. If GloFish in the present day, translated into our close to future, may it actually be attainable if one actually needed to, to create a very actual mermaid? Sure!
The Proof for Zeus the Extraterrestrial: Why was this Zeus character an alien?
Effectively Zeus possessed and steadily used excessive know-how not out there to his Greek topics. That top know-how revolved round these well-known and fearsome thunderbolts that Zeus appreciated to chuck round. Zeus and his mates utilizing such excessive know-how (equipped by the best way through a trio of Cyclopes – and in the event that they ain’t alien wanting I do not know what’s) defeated the Titans (the Titanomachy) thus attaining energy after a decade lengthy battle (a type of ‘star wars’ within the heavens). Then Zeus had to make use of his thunderbolts battling in opposition to the mom of all monsters, the Typhon. Zeus suffered grievous accidents however he prevailed, these thunderbolts flashing each which approach.
One other type of high-tech was recommended above and refers again to these alien-human demigods and demigoddess hybrids, human-animal hybrids, and people wired ‘births’ like that of Athena and Aphrodite.
Extra high-tech may very well be recommended in that Zeus had the flexibility to shape-shift, or at the very least had the know-how that allowed him the phantasm of shape-shifting. It was by means of such trickery that he was in a position to have his depraved approach with a few of these mortal feminine people that produced a few of these demigods and demigoddesses.
Zeus was ‘immortal’, but susceptible, because the battle with Typhon proved. In concept, Zeus (in contrast to God), may very well be got rid of. Very long-lived extraterrestrials may be thought-about by us mortals to be, for all sensible functions, immortal.
Zeus after all was a sky god in Geek mythology. He got here from the sky; he was of the sky.
Zeus rode round in an aerial chariot (what we’d name in the present day a UFO).
A Arduous Act to Swallow:
I famous above the ‘delivery’ of Athena which gave Zeus a little bit of a headache (to say the least)! Recall that Zeus swallowed Metis, his pregnant spouse, who gave delivery to a completely grown, clothed and armed Athena whereas in that swallowed situation!
However even earlier than that Cronus swallowed his offspring, however was tricked into swallowing a rock as a substitute of child Zeus. In a while down the monitor Cronus was pressured to cough up the opposite 5 of the siblings of Zeus.
However earlier than even that, and considerably akin, Uranus stuffed his brats, certainly one of which was Cronus, again into the womb of his beloved mom and sexual accomplice, Gaia. That did not work for lengthy, Gaia lastly bursting on the proverbial seams. Gaia then had her revenge getting Cronus to slice off the non-public elements of Uranus – ouch!
So what will we make of all this swallowing and stuffing? On the floor it was the mechanism for daddy to verify his offspring would not survive or have the ability to be round to ever problem his energy base. Whereas the rational may be true, the organic act cannot be.
So what may the swallowing or the stuffing really signify? Effectively, should you get right into a car; automobile, bus, prepare, airplane, submarine, Apollo area capsule, and so forth. you may have, to somebody unaware of the car idea, that car swallowing you. Did Jonah get swallowed by a whale? – In fact not. Jonah entered into some type of mechanical system. In the identical approach, Zeus pressured Metis into some type of contraption the place she ultimately gave delivery to and raised her daughter, Athena. Cronus pressured his offspring into some type of contraption, all later to be freed, however Zeus escaped that destiny solely whereas being raised on Crete. Uranus stuffed his brats into some type of system, in all probability together with Gaia, however they escaped and Gaia acquired her revenge for his or her imprisonment.
The reverse process by the best way, vomiting, is a commonplace theme in creation mythologies around the globe.
The place Did Zeus Go? I cannot discover a passable clarification in classical mythology texts as to what occurred to the traditional Greek sky-god.
Sadly, the story of Zeus (and the opposite Greek/Roman pantheon of deities) simply stops mid-sentence. There is no blissful ever ending, ending or perhaps a blissful by no means ending, ending. There is no ending in any respect, full cease! If the gods are legendary, why no final chapter of their saga? It will need to have been very irritating to the traditional Greeks to not get the following and finally closing installment in “The Wonderful Adventures of Zeus, the Sky God”.
If Zeus and his comrades had been actual, however terrestrial, then it could have been troublesome, however in all probability not not possible, for them to turn into incognito; disguised for the remainder of their ‘immortal’ days, altering jobs and appearances and nationalities each few a long time or so.
But when Captain Zeus of the Starship Olympus and crew determined to pack up and go away and boldly go elsewhere within the cosmos to hunt out one other primitive civilization to rule over, they being beneath no obligation to tell and search permission from the terrestrial authorities first, then it is comprehensible why their story stops in mid-verse and why we have seen neither conceal nor hair of the lot of them in over 2000 years!
One Last Thought: By my reckoning as associated above at the very least demigods and demigoddesses like Gilgamesh, Brahma, and Shiva as non-Greek examples, and Achilles, Helen of Troy, Heracles, and [King] Minos [of Crete] had been actually human-alien hybrids. Since a lot of them in flip mated with mortals and produced offspring, they usually in flip ditto, proper on down the timeline, that implies that most of us have in all probability a tiny share of our genetic make-up that’s finally extraterrestrial in origin.
