Greetings all,

If you'd care to skip to approximately 30 minutes into the following video:

www.youtube.com...://video.google.com/videosearch?q=history+of+the+worl&dur=3&emb=0

You'll hear a theory, fairly wild, IMO, but compelling nonetheless, that the superior cro-magnon man could be the model for the gods of ancient myth.

Does anyone have any thoughts or other links to suggest this might be the case or not?

Since the neanderthal also technically had bigger brain capacity than sapiens, I guess that means survival of the dumbest?


If only brain size correlated with intelligence.

well cromagnon were slightly more advanced than we think. after that archaeology proves an almost world flood pretty much wiped out civilization (whether genesis flood or not). that started the neolithic age (i think). This is the time Genesis and other sources say would have been when the fallen angels/aliens/gods whatever came down to earth. No matter what they did, they were consdered gods. So i would say that its not the actuall neo cromagnon that were gods but the fallen angels or whatever you want to call them. And these creatures were living during the time of cromagnon so they could be mistaken.

well id love to see evidence of that

and it would be geology not archaeology

i have heard of ageological study that concluded a large flooding in the baltic that is suspected as the casue to spread basic farming skills out to the widr world as the early farming communties in that region got forced out by the water

but its no where near world flood or wiping out mankind just like global warming sea levels will rise but not cover the earth


that started the neolithic age (i think).
it was during the early neolithic not started it

This is the time Genesis and other sources say would have been when the fallen angels/aliens/gods whatever came down to earth.
its also suspected this could have been some of the reason for the flood stories that religeon co-opted so no need for gods aliens or unicrons unless you have some evidence

No matter what they did, they were consdered gods. So i would say that its not the actuall neo cromagnon that were gods but the fallen angels or whatever you want to call them. And these creatures were living during the time of cromagnon so they could be mistaken.


but you have yet to show they existed

im not saying your 100% wrong (personally i beleive you are but meah ) but theres a whole raft of plausable to work through before you even get into the supernatural

where as your just making the jump straight away

**edit** found a link en.wikipedia.org...

That's not entirely accurate. While they were homo sapian sapians, they weren't exactly the same, they were known as Archaic Humans.

Thank you.

I believe the Wiki article puts it best:



Cro-Magnon (pronounced /kroʊˈmæɡnən/, French [kʀomaɲɔ̃]) is one of the main types of Homo sapiens of the European Upper Paleolithic


Bolding is mine. They were not use, per se, but they were humans sapiens sapiens.

Morphologically they were not identical in the same way Eskimos are not identical to Ethiopians.

This is rather beside the point though, as I wish to discuss whether they could have been the blueprint for the Gods and their endevours, not the categorisation of the race.

They were tall, strong and intelligent, and displayed a high (relative to the time) level of technology.

I believe they could have been an inspiration for the gods, a racial memory, as it were, and this is what I would appreciate your opinions on.

Thanks, all.
