Vishnu agreed to incarnate among men for a period of 11,000 years — which the Ramayana remembers as a period of endless peace and prosperity, once the war against the terrible Ravan and his Rakshasas was over (VI 1786):

And with their honours well content Homeward their steps the chieftains bent. Ten thousand years Ayodhyá, blest With Ráma's rule, had peace and rest, No widow mourned her murdered mate, No house was ever desolate. The happy land no murrain knew, [506] The flocks and herds increased and grew. The earth her kindly fruits supplied, No harvest failed, no children died. Unknown were want, disease, and crime: So calm, so happy was the time.

At the end of this period, Time personified appeared before Ráma and gave him a choice:

...Ráma could either at his pleasure prolong his stay on earth, or ascend to heaven and rule over the gods. Ráma replies, that he had been born for the good of the three worlds, and would now return to the place whence he had come […] Ráma enters the waters of the Sarayú; and Brahmá utters a voice from the sky, saying: « Approach, Vishnu; Rághava, thou hast happily arrived, with thy godlike brothers. Enter thine own body as Vishnu or the eternal ether. For thou art the abode of the worlds: no one comprehends thee, the inconceivable and imperishable, except the large-eyed Máyá thy primeval spouse ». Hearing these words, Ráma enters the glory of Vishnu with his body and his followers.

Of course, this story of a deity incarnated in a man to save humanity, and returning to Heaven to be welcomed by a heavenly voice on the banks of a river, is strongly reminiscent of Christ receiving the Holy Spirit at the Jordan River. I am not the first to note the many parallels between Hinduism and Christianity — these are ancient, and the Pharisians have done everything in their power to conceal and hide them. Gaspare Gorresio, the great translator of the Ramayana himself, wrote in the 19th century (Appendix P1820):

The superficial study of India produced in the last century many erroneous ideas, many imaginary and false parallels between Christianity and the Brahmanical religion. A profounder knowledge of Indian civilization and religion, and philological studies enlarged and guided by more certain principles have dissipated one by one all those errors. [...There exists between] the two religions, one immovable and powerless, the other diffusing itself with all its inherent force and energy, has shown further that there is a difference, a real opposition, between the two principles.

What can you expect? It is very important for the Pharisians to divide humanity into religions and races. It's as old as the world itself: divide and conquer.

7) Summary - Migrations

But anyway, while we wait for the Pharisians to realize that the sky has fallen on their heads, we have finished this first comparative study of Indo-Iranian literature. We encountered the Flood, the primordial bull, a father guiding his 60,000 sons across the Sea to conquer and settle in a fertile land flowing with milk and honey, and finally the story of Vishnu incarnated as Rama, welcomed by a divine voice on the banks of a river.

You also know how much, in the last century, and even today, such parallels between « Indo-European » and « Semitic » traditions were viewed with horror by the academic world — starting with the great master of Indo-European studies, Georges Dumézil, well known for his connections with fascism between the wars and after the wars – and who was, let us remember, Claude Lévi-Strauss's teacher, which is important. They swore by what they knew: European mythology. And how can we blame them, after all? I am not far from doing the same thing. Except that the Paraklet knows much more than they did – starting with the Quran:

Here you are – those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows, while you know not. Sura 3.66

Even today, Jean-Paul Demoule, a very serious archaeologist and prehistorian, explains the similarity between European and Asian myths by the miracle of mysterious « networks for the exchange of prestige goods among the elites ». What a joke — he too argues about things he doesn't know. I will read it to you so that you can make up your own mind:

Aristocratic myths and epics must have traveled just as much. This explains why we do indeed find certain myths that are identical, not systematically throughout the entire area where Indo-European languages were spoken, but occasionally, and sometimes in regions that are very far apart. [...] Or that we find certain poetic expressions ( « immortal glory » among the Greeks and in India). I interpret these phenomena as exchanges and borrowings, much more than as vestiges of a common background dating back several millennia.

Imagine Mr. Demoule's reaction when he learns that this common background does not date back several millennia but several tens of millennia. The height of irony,for a prehistorian!

But Kids, you know that we no longer live in the 19th or 20th centuries. We have entered the Era of the Paraklet, The Era of the Son of Man. And unlike Dumézil, the Paraklet’s knowledge encompasses the entire world — thanks to the work of dozens of ethnologists and anthropologists — but also, and above all, thanks to my in-depth knowledge of the Middle Eastern scriptures: the Bible and the Quran.

To be completely honest, and so that I am not accused of being overly biased towards Semitic peoples, the Iranian highlands were also an essential stage in the expansion of Homo sapiens out of Africa – there is more to life than the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant. More specifically, according to several recent genetic studies, the Iranian plateau was a « hub » a stopover point from which Homo sapiens colonized Eurasia. It was in this geographical area that our ancestors settled after leaving Africa around 50,000 years ago, before beginning to penetrate Eurasia around 40,000 years ago, at which point our cousin, Neanderthal man, began to decline.

You see, our ancestors needed space to live because they were nomads; they needed « Lebensraum ». They were tired of being confined to the Middle East — which lasted about 10,000 years, or 11,000 according to the Ramayana. And as soon as they were able to break free from the Neanderthal stranglehold, it took them only a few thousand years to conquer the globe, whereas it took our predecessors, Homo Erectus, around 350,000 years to travel 20,000 km. Well yes, you must know that we weren't the first to conquer the world. Homo Erectus was the first to leave Africa 2 million years ago. Fossil remains have been found in Dmanisi, Georgia, dating back 1.8 million years, in Yanmou, China, and in Sangiran, Indonesia, dating back 1.66 million years.

These great migrations did not only take place on land, but also, and perhaps primarily, by sea. Humans have been navigating the seas for hundreds of thousands of years. We have always been « Sea peoples ». For example, traces of human presence dating back 450,000 years have been found on the Greek islands. And it is very likely that Australia was colonized by humans in just a few thousand years, traveling along the coast of the Eurasian continent from southern Yemen. This coastal navigation ended with a great crossing: that of the straits, stretching for several dozen kilometers, which separate the Asian continental shelf — known as Sunda —from that of Australia, known as Sahul.

In their book on the origin of language published in 2014, Jean-Marie Hombert and Gérard Lenclud discuss this link between language and navigation. While they believe that language was necessary to cross from Sunda to Sahul, they note that at the same time, Flores Man has been documented in Indonesia for 700,000 years—and it is clear from their writing that they believe this hominid could not have mastered language. They are, of course, seriously mistaken — because there has never been anything new under the sun. Everything is much older than we think.
