Two different scenarii are possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Regarding the emergence of agriculture, the official line is <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/anthropoly-theory-of-evolution-struggle-for-life-capitalism-religion-darwin-is-dead.html\">part of darwinism<\/a>, Bryan Sykes tells this &#8216;main stream&#8217; version: <em> &#8220;10,000 years ago, our ancestors, hunter-gatherers had spread worldwide, excluding the least accessible areas, such as Polynesia, Greenland, Iceland and Madagascar. The men were traveling in bands of ten to fifty, living on hunting, harvesting tubers and fruits.&#8221; <\/em>Until now, it looks allright. Wait and see \u2026 The coming step is quite different.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0<em>&#8220;Then, independently and at nine different times in at least nine parts of the world, began in earnest the domestication of plants and wildlife. It began first in the Near East approximately ten thousand years ago,&#8221;<\/em> <a class=\"link\" title=\"Bryan Sykes, the Seven Daughters of Eve\" href=\"\/en\/sumer-mythology-man-creation-scientific-genetics-seven-daughters-of-eve-gmo-man.html\">(source)<\/a> or rather 2,000 years before. The Egyptologists have noted indeed the first appearance of agriculture in the Nile Valley in Egypt, 12,000 years ago. And we believe the andenes or agricultural terraces in the Andes are older, some dating back <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/cyclopean-architecture-sound-music-of-spheres-vril-energy-lightning-trap-pyramid-akapana.html\">over 15,000 years<\/a>. But let us get back to the main stream version.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>&#8220;Within a few thousand years, new agricultural centers appeared here and there in India, China, West Africa and Ethiopia, New Guinea, <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/precolombian-civilizations-mexico-guatemala-belize-honduras-meso-america.html\">Central America<\/a> and in the eastern United States.

To say why agriculture arose in this way, from -8000 and in different parts of the world, Pre-Historians are quite incapable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">If we made a side step out of main stream History, we can see quite a different picture. By basing on the same facts, the world&#8217;s <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/world-mythologies-champollion-eliade-levi-strauss-testament-legacy-of-gods.html\">mythologies<\/a> give us another story, likely to shed light on this enigma.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the narrative: <em>&#8220;12,000 years ago, our ancestors hunter-gatherers saw coming among them more learned men who taught them agriculture, livestock and other crafts. These newcomers, they called them civilizing gods, because before them, the hunters were like wild beasts. The civilizers were not gods, but men. Having inherited the knowledge of their engulfed civilization they have created a new world.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And they began to sow the land of the wheat seeds of <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/mythology-egypt-atlantis-tradition-civilization-pyramids-osiris-isis-.html\">Osiris<\/a>.

Because traces of earlier agriculture are too rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Because agriculture was long time the privilege of <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/greek-philosophy-mythology-timeos-critias-plato-s-atlantis.html\">the island Atlantis<\/a>\u00a0 and its main colonies. And the flood, engulfing the island, has also removed the traces of its agriculture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">However, we have converging evidence, as the Greek myth of the Hesperides, and his fabulous garden where golden apples grew.

In several passages of the Ptolemaic texts, Osiris, creative and nurturing father, is presented as the inventor of wheat. So speaks Pharaoh coming before a statue of the god:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><em>&#8220;I come to you, elder in the womb of his mother, King of the Two Lands, chief of the banks. I bring you the grain offerings together to double your desire.\u00a0<\/em><em>So you will be happy in your heart, [you] the god who grows the grains for thou hast created the wheat to make men live.&#8221;<\/em> <a href=\"#\">(Source)<\/a><span class=\"note\">Ptolemaic texts<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Osiris the Atlantean is considered the creator of wheat by the ancient Egyptians, and it is also in Egypt than wheat reappeared in 10,000 BC before disappearing again after only a few centuries ago. Previously, agriculture had been mainly developed on the island of Atlantis. But not only there. There should be traces elsewhere, in the huge Atlantean empire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">For obvious food reasons, the Atlanteans had brought their farming techniques, far before the flood, in most of their colonies. So people could think it would be possible to find traces of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Unfortunately, the <a class=\"link\" title=\"In -12 000, Atlantis had for Empire nearly a third of the land surface, according to Slosman.\" href=\"\/en\/initiation-a-unique-god-the-great-hypothesis-albert-slosman.html\">Atlantean colonization<\/a> was located on the coastal fringes of continents. And since that time, the sea level has risen of 150 meters. As the mother island, the Atlantean colonies lie at the bottom of the water. Except those who were at high altitude, as the Cities of the Peaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">As in Egypt, the civilizing god of the Andes, <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/inca-mythology-meerschaum-peaceful-white-god-christ-of-the-andes-tiki-viracocha.html\">Viracocha<\/a>, also gave a valuable cereal to men, corn. It was under his leadership that were traced and built the countless <em>andenes<\/em> and irrigation canals. At the other end of the world, in the brilliant hydraulic civilization of the Indus Valley, it is the civilizing god Vishnu who is believed to have brought rice to <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/hindu-mythology-vishnu-fish-manu-arch-north-montain-a-hindu-noah.html\">Manu<\/a>, the first man. In Africa, the Dogon have a similar legend with the god Nommo who gave millet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Indeed, in the Andes, the countless terraces which <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/neolithic-andes-peru-bolivia-machu-picchu-cusco-tihuanaco-ollantaytambo-mountaintop-cities.html\">gave their name to the Spanish cordillera<\/a> show a prestigious agricultural past and a long control of irrigation techniques. The <em>&#8220;Hydraulic Civilizations&#8221;<\/em> of <a class=\"link\" href=\"\/en\/india-archeology-indus-harappa-mohenjodaro-mahabalipuram-adam-s-bridge-ceylon-the-empire-of-rama.html\">Pakistan and north-west of India<\/a> showed the same mastery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">But in Asia as in America, the dating of these civilizations is lowered by the thinkers of that time, due to the ideology in those days. The <em>&#8216;main stream&#8217;<\/em> archaeology totally conflicts the evidence that expresses through art, literature, cinema and the history of thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21275 size-full\" title=\"Andenes, tel est le nom espagnol de ces terrasses de culture.
