Cave Paintings

Cave paintings, they’ve been found all over the world. Have you ever
wondered who made them and why? What were they trying to say and
to whom? Some are incredibly accurate in detail, while others look so
very primitive. Yet, I believe they all have something to tell us if we
will only open our mind to the possibilities. Some of us have tried to
solve these great and mysterious puzzles from the past. But then, some
are also afraid of what they may reveal once interpreted.

Like cave paintings, stories of floods, cataclysms that destroyed
civilizations have also been found all over the world. Stories of
civilizations that once flourished then vanished leaving behind only
dim footprints in the sands of time till some curious researchers began
to put the shattered pieces together one piece at a time.

Some say these ancient paintings found in caves were made by ancient
cave men, these are the same people that expect us to believe the great
pyramids were build as tombs for kings. And those men dragging the
multi-ton built the stones across desert sands to one location. They
seem to forget the details as to how the stones were perfectly cut to size
and shape. Never mind the fact that we don’t have the skill or technology
to do the same thing today. Our civilization hasn’t yet managed to invent
the machinery to do it. And these educators expect us to believe a lesser
culture could thousands of years ago.

A few people believe there have been many catastrophes throughout the
history of earth where even the most advanced civilizations were reduced
to a mere handful of people. If there were catastrophes over and over
again that wiped out the untold number of civilizations the world over,
what of the survivors?

Wouldn’t they have tried to leave their stories behind somehow? If they
did, how would they have left them? Wouldn’t they have possibly used
paintings in the very caves they sought refuge in? What would those
paintings look like, what language would they write their story in? Could
it be they hid out in those caves where cave paintings have been found?
Could it be they, the survivors themselves, created those paintings trying
to leave a record of their existence and what they saw for the future
cultures and we just haven’t managed to unravel the mysteries yet?

Consider this, a family escapes a tsunami by retreating to a cave in near a
mountain. Thinking the worse has happened, they make their wall
paintings and write notes in their own language to anyone who might by
chance stumble across their place of refuge. Now, think about this – if it
should happen again, and it will, aren’t the chances high the next survivors
will do the same as those in the past?

Here in our own day and age, there is speculation and research toward the
possibility of a fly by of what has been referred to as some type planetary
object over the next few years. Evidence of such an event is very convincing.
I might also add that should such an object come too close to earth, it
wouldn’t have to collide with earth to be catastrophic. A large enough body
passing through the ecliptic plane would effect every planet in the solar
system – possibly to the point of unbelief, till it happened that is.
