Battlestar Galactica and the Alt History of Humanity

Constellations as a Map to Kobol in BSG, same idea as
Arctic Home of the Aryans

Back in the late 19th and early 20th century, academics and other researchers were starting to piece together a very fuzzy, incomplete picture of early civilization through linguistic analysis and archaeology. The concept of "Indo Europeans" or Aryan civilization, grew out of that research and ideas like the Kurgan Hypothesis sought to explain how people that became "the west" dispersed from an original homeland. I remember discussing these topics in my high school history classes. The topic of the Migration Period, for example, begged the question of where all those Germanic tribes came from in the first place.

The mythology that developed from that investigation is widespread and imbues popular media and culture. Battlestar Galactica, for example, basically tells that story, as do the countless variations on the theme of The Man Who Would Be King. It seems pretty likely that this mythology is sort of the biblical history of groups like the Masons, and probably predates the 19th century by many centuries.

A main themes of this history--that cataclysms periodically reset humans back to the stone age and makes us forget our origins--is depicted in the destruction of the 12 colonies by the Cylons, and later in the series, the crew discovers that humanity destroyed itself over and over again, and that there's no way to know who was originally cylon, and who was originally human.

The cyclical interpretation of history is contrary to the idea of linear history and progress that are the mainstream mode of thinking today. The "out of africa" story, for example, neatly meshes with progress and the ideological opinions of globalists.

As in all earlier ages, the establishment fervently attempts to control the mode of consciousness of the people who they depend on for sustenance and for their lavish life. In Catholic middle ages france, for example, the cathar heresy was violently crushed.

It's unlikely we'll ever really know our "true" history or origins. Typically the only motive to record or relate history is to fabricate consciousness, so it's just a nest of lies, and the scanty evidence that's preserved, even in DNA, is subject to wildly different interpretations.
