Clarifications
premise 2) Unlike you, the people who researched, wrote, and edited a reference CD about ancient cultures could not possibly be aware of the stories found in these differing ancient cultures.
At a minimum you are twisting my words and making inferences that I have not made. I have not said anything about ‘the people who researched, wrote, and edited a reference CD” regarding whether they “could not possibly be aware of the stories found in these differing ancient cultures”.
Your premise 2 is off-track, irrelevant, and a red herring.
I was responding to your specific statements of “Did it ever occur to you that the person who drew that graphic design had read the Bible and decided to include the ‘wheels within wheels’ design because he thought it was interesting?” and “Why can't the explanation be that the CD was designed by a very devoted Christian?” (who was influenced by Biblical imagery and prophecy).
You were inferring that because a Christian (who may have produced the cd-rom) may have had “a fascination with Bible prophecy”, he designed the ‘wheels within wheels’ motive on the Etruscan Atlas page based upon his perception of Ezekiel’s account.
This is a fair comment (and conclusion) – IF this was the ONLY instance in ancient texts where ‘wheels within a larger ring’ was described.
But it is not. In a different non-religious context the same series of ‘wheels within a larger ring’ is documented. I also cited many other examples where ancient cultures have described cd-rom imagery.
You seem to be overlooking the fact that this one image is just one picture in a sequence of many dozens of pictures from the Ancients cd-rom – that have been documented in various other ancient texts and accounts.
I pointed out that some people who come across single examples of Pegg’s work also make similar belief orientated statements based upon their own personal slant on life. It is the people viewing Pegg’s work to whom I refer, not the people who made the Ancients cd-rom.
conclusion 1) Therefore the simplest, most logical explanation is that some unknown characters travelled back in time with both this reference CD and a computer
The explanation is based upon all the presented evidence, not your personal ‘logic’ where you have only read a tiny fraction of Pegg’s work.
It has not been a simple task, as ancient bias and religious rhetoric have covered over the source of religious stories and legends.
The “unknown characters” as you call them are specifically documented in many ancient texts and were deemed to be Angels (in the religious sense) - one was given the name Gabriel. When a composite is derived from all accounts, it is seen that these ‘messengers’ who showed future images and told of future history to various ancient people had with them specific “books”. Even at a religious level, taking the Bible’s words at face value, these ‘angels’ were specific “time messengers” - as they were perceived as travelling through time (or taking the prophet through time). Pegg’s work shows that they were not of a divine nature.
conclusion 2) These time travellers are responsible for not just the more imaginative imagery found in religions and mythology, but the very success of these religions.
The success of those religions were in spite of the warning messages given by the time travellers. It was the local religious priests who tried to make sure their new version of religion became the ‘one and only’.
The time travellers were not there to support any versions of religion.
RE: “conclusion 3)…But this (religious) cleansing will not be completed until December 2012.”
As previously stated by me
The Future section contains thoughts on how all this may have come about.” This also included the 21st December 2012 section too. Ronald Pegg mentioned this date as the possible ‘turn-off’ date of religions. I added his thoughts to my summary.
RE: “conclusion 3)…..a computer between 15 and 100 (?) years out of date”.
This is your assumption.
From our 2007 technological standpoint, the first mission to the moon that landed on its surface used archaic computers - yet they got to the moon and back. The computers did what they had to do – no more, no less.
The evidence documented in ancient texts as discovered by Pegg describes a 386PC desktop computer system. It was the minimum system required to run the cited and named cd-roms. It did what it was needed to do – no more, no less.
And again,
>“Isn't that explanation simpler and more realistic than time travellers taking archaric computers into the past simply to show CD-ROMs to Bible characters?”
No. The evidence shows what Pegg claims did occur.
Bible characters did not become ‘Bible characters’ until they told of their encounter with a time messenger and when later, some religious person deemed their story to be about GOD – and compiled similar stories into a ‘religious text’. Those messengers were deemed to be Angels (in the religious sense). The characters often went on to become Prophets (in the religious sense).
Ronald Pegg has taken away the religious slant and found a different non-divine source for the ancient stories, myths, and legends.
