The Mythic Origins

Mythologies from various cultures also shed light on the origin of humans during the Prehistoric Golden Age. One such myth tells the story of an otherworldly race of beings who descended from the skies, imparting their knowledge and wisdom onto the early humans. These celestial beings were said to have possessed god-like abilities and guided humanity through the early stages of its development.

Another mythic tale revolves around ancient gods who descended to Earth and intermingled with humans, resulting in the birth of a new hybrid race. These demigods were said to possess extraordinary power and played a significant role in shaping the destiny of humanity.

The Great Cataclysm

As with most mythical stories, the Prehistoric Golden Age met its demise through a cataclysmic event. Some myths speak of a great flood that swept across the Earth, wiping out the advanced civilization. Others mention a global earthquake that shattered the landscape and disrupted the harmonious balance of nature.

The aftermath of this cataclysm was a world plunged into chaos and darkness. The survivors, stripped of their divine knowledge and abilities, had to start anew. The legends hint at the remnants of this once-great civilization dispersing around the world and becoming the foundation for the different cultures we have today.

Mysteries and Discoveries

Modern archaeological findings continue to uncover remnants of an advanced civilization that existed during the Prehistoric Golden Age. Ancient artifacts, such as sophisticated tools, artwork depicting advanced technologies, and architectural marvels, leave us with more questions than answers.

Researchers are baffled by the precision of stone-cutting techniques seen in monuments like Machu Picchu and the Great Sphinx of Giza. The mathematical and astronomical knowledge evident in ancient structures hints at a civilization far more advanced than previously believed.

The Quest for Lost Knowledge

Many individuals and groups today still pursue the quest for lost knowledge from the Prehistoric Golden Age. Ancient texts, such as the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Sumerian Tablets, offer glimpses into the profound wisdom possessed by the ancients.

From studying ancient civilizations to exploring hidden underground chambers, these modern adventurers strive to uncover the secrets of our past, hoping to restore a connection to the vast knowledge seemingly lost to time.

The Prehistoric Golden Age and its mythic origins remain a captivating topic, spurring curiosity and fascination. As we delve into the mysteries of our past, we are reminded that our current civilization may owe much more to these ancient beings than we could have ever imagined. Perhaps one day, we will unlock the secrets of this bygone era and tap into the forgotten wisdom that could shape our future.

Reveals how humanity’s first advanced culture originated in the Altai-Baikal region of southern Siberia

• Explores how this prehistoric culture is the source of the pervasive mythic symbolism of the number 7, found in ancient cosmologies and myths around the world

• Traces the Altaic influence on the Rishis of India, the creation of the Vedas, and the origin of the sacred legend of Mount Meru

• Explains how the Hellenic cults of both Apollo and Artemis originated in southern Siberia as well as the pervasive bear symbolism found throughout the ancient world

Myths of a Golden Age, a paradise at the beginning of human existence, are nearly universal in all cultures. But where was this “Eden” located? Refuting the traditional assumption that the cultures of the Middle East and Mycenae filtered northward into Europe and North Asia, noted historian Geoffrey Ashe instead identifies the northern Altai mountain range and Lake Baikal region of southern Siberia as the true cultural home of humanity and the source of the widespread myths of a prehistoric Golden Age.

With evidence dating back as far as 24,000 BC, Ashe shows how the culture of prehistoric southern Siberia was matrifocal, Goddess-worshiping, and heavily shamanic and served as the progenitor of advanced ancient culture in the Western world, the missing link that later influenced Indian, Middle Eastern, Native American, and European society, culture, and religion. He reveals how ancient Altaic culture was the source of the pervasive mythic symbolism of the number 7, found in cosmologies and mythological traditions around the world, as well as reverence for the seven stars of Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, and the idea of a “sacred mountain to the North.” He traces the transmission of these cosmological beliefs into Babylon and ancient Greece by migrating tribes, including those that crossed the now-vanished land bridge to the New World.

Ashe reveals how this transmission of beliefs had a profound influence on the seven-note musical scale, the seven astrological planets, and the seven vowels of the Greek alphabet, as well as the development of seven as a sacred number in Judaism. He shows how the ancient Altai-Baikal culture influenced the Rishis of India, the creation of the Vedas, and the sacred legend of Mount Meru. He also reveals how the Hellenic cults of both Apollo and Artemis originated in southern Siberia as well as the sacred bear symbolism found throughout the ancient world.

Offering proof that advanced cultures existed in Europe before the immigration of Eastern peoples, Ashe shows that early societies did not look into the future for perfection but to the past, to the Golden Age of peace in the sacred northern mountains.
