Abstract:
Eureka! Eureka! –Buckle your seatbelts and leave all preconceived notions behind, because this starving space artist is about to send you into low Earth orbit in search of ancient myths. No shovels required, the only tool needed is a heavenly perspective of Earth. Remote sensing technology, satellite imagery and digital maps allow us to raise the valleys and make every mountain low; therefore, leveling the rough ground and turning rugged places into a plain. All one needs is an Internet connection, a laptop and mapping software to experience this phenomenon for themselves. Using ancient texts as our guide, we’ll search out the origins of fanciful stories that have been passed down orally for generations. The focus of my presentation aims to leave viewers with the understanding that mythical origins have been hiding on planet Earth the entire time. In reality, humanity hasn’t been advanced enough to discover them until this century. My presentation is unorthodox, but isn’t new doctrine because ancient stories and religious texts (old doctrine) are the cornerstone of my research.
