I AM FUTURE YOU

CHAPTER 5 

  Persian empire

“ I liked the Egyptians very much” commented Life and looked at me eagerly.

" Do you want another tale?" I asked hoping to get one more opportunity.

“Yes, please.” Life said looking up at me while batching eyelashes.

I rolled my eyes but decided to indulge all wishes

" What should I talk about?" I asked again.

“ Perhaps, you could tell the tales of all significant times in history. We could give you the theme, and you talk." suggested Infinity who was apparently involved in my talks.

 “ I suggest Persian. Even their name sounds so distant and old-fashioned there is a beauty in this name. For me, they are like dreams, and they got lost, like tears of flying ." talked Time quietly as the feather.

 “All right.” I have accepted the challenge “ I will tell you a story about Persians”.

 Before more than 3000 years today's Iran was a land of many tribes and Persians, and Medes were part of it. That land was plentifully ruled by the Medes, but 549. Year BC Persian king Cyrus defeated Medes and started developing the great kingdom, step by step. 538. Year B.C. Kir decides to extend the empire and agrees with Babylon. He died 529. Year B.C.Thirty years after its creation the Persian empire grows in the most powerful kingdom of that time, and the boundaries of the empire were Mesopotamia, Anatolia(Turkey), east part of Mediterranean sea and parts of today's Pakistan and Afganistan.

 “For over 200 Persian empires was the biggest empire of the then known world, exceeding the size of its Assyrian ancestor." I ended upon overhearing the soft noise.

 “Unique, untouchable, unperfect, like us." It was Death engaged in a puzzle game of his thoughts that are suddenly materialised by my words.

 At that moment I start to remember the gratings, and for the moment I disconnect my self from the conversation.

Persian leaders and the kingdom itself were undoubtedly different from other. Kings were merciful, and instead, then destroy the local economy for their own personal gain, Persian worked to improve the economy throughout their kingdom. They standardised weights developed the official coinage and implemented the universal laws. They did not impose their religion on conquered land nor did they turned runs them into slaves. For example, king Cyrus did not enslave the Jews; he let them return to Jerusalem, he allowed them to worship as they and as I insinuate even returned them all assets that were taken from them. The prophet Isaiah commented on Cyrus generosity saying he is " Gods shepherd" and that "God would go before him and level mountains". All of his descendants were as generous and merciful as him, tending not treating and destroying the old, but receiving it, building the new and making the civilisation grow side by side with humanity.

   All in all Persian empire was one sweeter, tenderer kingdom. The Persians also formed a religion based on monotheism ( belief in one God). It was founded by the prophet Zoroaster, called Zarathustra. Many of his ideas were collected in a series of poems called the Gathas, which became part of a religion, and religion's most sacred book, the Avesta. Zoroaster believed that people were preparing for the future life. He thought that world is always torn between the forces of the good and the evil and that people need to be ready for the day of the judgment when good triumphs over the evil, the day when all the Earthly existence would disappear. The Zoroastrian god, Ahura Mazda, embodied all the goodness and wisdom there are. I can confirm you that Zoroaster's ideas strongly influenced and left an erasable mark on both Hebrew and Christian religions.

 “ They really were something unique and contradictory to all other empires, yet I believe even they found a path that led them to cruel, cold arms of their demise.” Life interrupted my story in distant demeanour, unlike its usual self.

 I paused for a second look at Life and presented my observation:

“One of the greatest Persian king, alongside Cyrus, was Darius I or he Darius the great. During his period, the empire was divided into provinces ruled by governors. Darius was establishing the mail system, and he created a single currency. He also made roads all over the kingdom connecting the areas. During his period, he started building the city Persepolis which was completed through the rule of Kserksa I.  Persepolis was the crown jewel of the Persian empire. It was large, beautiful and situated entirely on the culture and the humanity, leaving politics and war strategies outside its walls. One of its most beautiful parts of the city was the palace garden which was the biggest garden in the empire. It consists of all plants of the then known world. Most unusual and exotic plants could be found there. The garden indeed showed the power, and beauty of the empire and its ruler. It symbolically showed that the king has the entire known world at the brink of his fingers. The king cared about his plants with love and care, the same love and care he gave to his loyal subjects, as long as they, of course, respected and flowed the rules, that is.”

 “In the New year, Persepolis would be alive, and people would bring the king their gifts.”   I was, as usual, interrupted by Life smirking devilishly “ There is always but and the but comes now.”

 Despite the Persians' effective and gentle leadership, their empire did not last. Under King Xerxes in 480 B.C.E., the Persians made an attempt to expand their empire into Greece. The Greeks held the Persians back winning the almost every battle and nearly destroying the Perisa. When Alexander the Great rose to power in 331 B.C.E., he set an end to all of the Persian dreams of expanding their empire. Only in his early twenties, Alexander had no equal as a military strategist. He swept through the ancient world, conquering all of the Persian Empire. When he, during he concurring of Persia, came to Persoplis Alexander the Great burned it to the ground during the night when all were sleeping also closing the gates of the city making sure that no one would escape the terrible fate.  He burned the town out of fear and aversion that impressive city has awakened in him. He knew that all his builder and scientists could not build a city like. He knows that he would not be able to maintain peace within its walls without the amount of violence that will inevitably cause his defeat.

 I smirked stopping to catch the breath and begin to tell the story of the Persian royalty.

"No matter how great kingdom, empire or a country are, and no matter how much are their leader right, fair or merciful, everything has its definitive word, last breath, everything has its epilogue, and so had this gentler kingdom. Now let's revile a little, so I can tell you of a story that played out in the beautiful gardens of the palace of the Persepolis. That once was the city of peace and everlasting harmony now the city of shadows, capital of the dead.”

 The sun brightened with all its grace on the range of the great Persian empire. The most beautiful rays touched walls of the grates city of the empire - Persepolis - where the king and the queen are settled in their glorious palace. The king Darius I of the great Perian empire and his beloved wife Artystone, his second wife and his younger sister – the only woman he truly loved, went on the stroll through their luxurious gardens with beauty unmatched. They both covered by typical head ornaments, and formal dresses. Head ornaments and shoes were made of gold and decorated with small diamonds. King wore his blue dress robes while the queen wore a light white dress entangled with what looked like green-red velvet covering. They were both moderately young and had the same dense black hair.

 They walked through gardens and talked about trade, hostilities and the economy. King loved to be advised by his wise and beautiful queen, from time to time. Queen would stroke her hand through some flower while listening to the words of the king and responding with her own observations. Randomly the talking declined, and eventually, it was only the vibration of the leaves that was heard.

 After some time the queen stopped by amazing, beautiful white orchid with a bunch of purple stains on its soft petals. The queen gently touched the leaves, turned to her husband and spoke:

 " Do you think our empire will collapse any time soon? Both of us might be capable rulers, but all empires eventually decline for some reason, am I right, my love? "

 King seriously looked at his wife, but in a moment the look turned to a gentle one filled with unconditional love. He somewhat smiled and replied to the queen's concerned words:

 " I am convinced that this empire will undoubtedly fall, but not during our rain, not anytime soon, trust me, my love. Now, stop thinking such gloomy and depressive thought. The inventable has to come, but our empire has many more days to live."

 On these words, the queen turned back to the purple stained petals, and after the moment of the silence she softly spoke:

 " This gentle flower here needs months to prepare itself to bloom, and when it does bloom finally, its magnificent petals shall be touched by the suns ray of the human realm for one bright day and day permanently. During its short life, it is fragile and tender, but it serves us by its excellence. The empire is not so different from this flower. It needs years of preparation and courage for it to rise, but its beauty is not everlasting, and its descent is fast and dramatic, just as the petals fall from the orchid. That how it is in the life, the birth is long while death is quick, but both are painful in its own way. Many would then ask, why to build empires at all if the game is painfully and the seemingly neverending process of downfall and painful death twist that come too fast and wipe it from the surface of the Earth? "

 If the answer to this were power, money or permanent memory of themselves, it would miss the point.

   " Those three things should not be the reason for building the empire, but its gift, just as the beautiful petal and its mesmerising scent are the gift of the flower. The purpose is to create a place that will give safety to people and make them care and see the beauty of the mother Earth which helps us all to survive. The purpose is to serve humanity and awaken feelings of gratitude and harmony.  This obviously outshines the meaning of the flower, but the truth is, it does not since both serve to its surrounding. Bathing in the divine rays of the sun for one day for one flower as essential to it as the safety and survive materials are for us. What I am trying to say is that all those things we deem necessary during are rain are overrated. Such is that the most important thing is a memory. This flower will die, but the memory of it shall be around in our thoughts all until our deaths. The memory of our empire wants to be kept for other generations. It should be held in words and art, so even thousands of years after all these gardens and cities turn to the dust, people would know and learn from our mistakes, rises and falls. That is immortality darling."

 Words of the queen stopped, living mesmerised and shocked king. He slowly hugged her from the back, planted a kiss on her crown and whispered:

 " You are right my love. It is interesting, how many wise men on hundreds of meetings I had, never mentioned and probably thought of that. I love you and will do anything in my power to do what you advised. Now, would you join me in bathing in the lake."

 The queen smiled and ran towards the lake while the king followed. Both were overflowing in laughter and happiness.

 Flower bathed in the sun.

King and queen bathed in the lake.

This memory bathed in infinity,

side by side with me.

I AM YOUR FUTURE

CHAPTER 4 

  Egyptians

That previous argument was predictable. Life and Death are always competing with each other. It like a marathon, but Death always jumps up beside the Life, ending its stubborn race again and again, into infinity.  

 This time I decided to spoke first before the argument could break out.

" May I suggest another story. Perhaps something about the Egyptians."

" Egyptians are very intriguing and mysterious people. They are one of the few human civilisations; I consider unborn." Responded Life full of new fresh hope and energy

" Go ahead, darling. I am quite fond of Egyptians, too. They were, after all, one of the first civilisation that was reckoning time." Added Time in its forever relaxed yet distant voice.

I begin, completely excited about the story I will tell

“ Egypt is an ancient land, 95% of the desert with the longest river in the world running through it, encompasses a 6000-year-old culture that is both mysterious and the world has known, posing the questions that even world´s greatest experts cannot find the explanation too. "

" Only human call each other experts. The truth is that they know, only a fragment of the internal truths," commented Life,  great wonderer, wisely.

 "Since the establishment of this joined kingdom by King Narmer around 3150 BC, Egypt has been the scene on which a long history of invasions expansion, huge building outcomes and scientific, philological and medical discoveries obtained throughout nine significant periods which are sub-divided into more than 20 dynasties. All this shaped the people and the land in ways that many intelligence still can barely understand. “

 " Fancy words will not make you less boring, on the contrary, dear, they will make you hard to listen. Do not use words like those again, or you shall kill me by apathy." and with those words, Life is back to its old unsatisfying bratty self

"It is unclear when precisely early humanoids arrived in Egypt. The most major migration of humanoids out of Africa took place almost 2 million years ago, with modern humans dispersing out of Africa about 100,000 years ago. Egypt may have been used as a way to reach Asia in some of these many migrations." I continued talking about Egypt while rolling my eyes at Life.

 "Villages dependent on the agriculture began to appear in Egypt about 7,000 years ago, and the civilisation's earliest written inscriptions and documents dated back about 5,200 years ago, and they discuss the first rulers of Egypt. " I was interrupted by my Father.

 "Egyptians themselves long referred to their united country as tawy, meaning "two lands", and later used the word Kemet, or "black land", a reference to the fertile black soil of the Nile river delta. Haha, my memory still rusty like the old clocks, although I am much older than those human inventions" Added Time, spreading his joyful mood to all of us.

    "Nile was a vital part of the life for these ancient people. Almost every aspect of their life depended on the Nile and water diversions. Every year in July Nile would spill out, flooding around and people would plant the crop on the fertile mud which was left by the river after it retrieved. It was a serious crime if somebody messes around the river channels which were bringing the water to the vegetables. They saw a river as the magical, divine presence. The magic, moving, living part of the Earth itself. Maybe they were not wrong about that after all. To show admiration and respect for the river, that provides and supplies them all by things necessary for humanity. " It is like the mother, it knows where you been, what you have done. It knows what you need and gives you that, although it knows your sins. The river does not care about that, it just gives and goes on, into the wonderful journey called life show. The Nile can sometimes speak to you, if you sit silently beside it, you will hear it. Silent voice whispering to your soul " It is going to be all right”.

 "Life of the Egyptians developed more than just on river banks, regardless of its irreplaceable importance. Life consists of clothes, makeup, jeweller, feasts, festivities, hunt, games, schooling and funerals. " I stooped waiting for someone to say something, it is like I am expecting to be interrupted, but the Silence had its form now.

"Egyptians wore thin and light clothes. Men wore tiny dresses, and the woman used long dresses with covers. It is interesting how something simple as a dress can change so much through history. Not only its shape, colour and material from which is made has changed, but also the cover style has changed. Once it was socially acceptable and even preferable for a man to wear a dress, while in the 21st century it is only socially acceptable if a woman wears a dress. If I wear a dress, it would be weird and unusual or a decrease.  There is one other thing that can be unusual for the 21st century and was normal for Egyptians. Both men and woman wore makeup. The richer people even wore wigs and neckless made of gold and precious stones. " at that moment, as usual, I am interrupted, by Life again.

"Unusual was the tradition that kids usually walked naked.  Regarding their hair, boys had to be bold with one strand of hair left, and girls wore pigtails. If you ask me, people were ugly then and they are not any better now. Moreover, I meant it on both inside and outside. I do not know how they can live life with themselves and whenever they look at the mirror not see the ugliness and rottenness. They must be blind." Spoke Life as critically assaulting humans.

" You may be right, but that gives you no right to act with such disrespect towards our protectees. You are young and naive. However, even I, old and powerful as I am, cannot be the judge of everyone and everything. We are no Gods; we are similar reflections of God creation." Infinity suggested with severe everlasting voice.

 Before I continued, I let Silence take the throne once again, so all can befall the deepness of those words.

 "Ever present distension between the rich and poor existed in Ancient Egypt as well.  Poor people lived in small wooden houses, but many lived without one at all. Some were slaves. Rich people lived in the houses built of clay, dried on the sun, with the wooden roof. Earth walls and floors were painted and covered with weed. The family was sleeping in the back side of the house or, at summer, on the roof. They had a bathroom and the toilet as well, although not as similar the 21st-century models. Rich people made great feasts including a lot of foods and drinks that were served by the slaves. The guests had pieces of Scented Ornament on their heads, enclosed with a beautiful fragrance. Guests were entertained by the singers, dancers, acrobats, players and jugglers. "

" It is sad. Rich will get richer in the hell of the poor and poor will get worse battling the war of the riches. The gap between the two always gets bigger and bigger, even the child´s cries can now be heard from abyss created." These words left the Infinity lifeless like the fallen soldiers after their last march.

It was ghastly for Infinity to acts like this, but I guess this topic is sombre. It is dark especially for us that have to look at it till the end of existence. It is hard, to see so much injustice and pain, but worst of all is that even the smartest, poorest and reaches are all ignorant. They walk through life similar to blind madmen, making the same mistakes again, again and repeatedly.

 “Difference between rich and poor was seen in education as well. Most of the children did not go to school. The boy learned their father's crafts, and girls attended their mother's housework.  Children of the wealthy inhabitants went to school. They learned to read and write on papyrus. They used picture letter - the hieroglyphs. One picture sometimes meant a message and sometimes a word.

 In their free time, Egyptians hunted or played games.  On the land, they killed from chariots, and on the water from the ships. They killed hippopotamuses with a harpoon and the rope and birds with bow and arrow. Hippopotamus meat is still consumed in some parts of the world. Human eating hobbits are drastically worsening and become more similar eating hobbits of the predator, that to the rational human being. Children played with balls made of animal skin and toy made of wood and ivory. They loved to fight and wrestle in the ancient Egyptians swamps.  

As time passes, people resist change more and more forgetting its mystery. They put all of their energy into destroying the past and fighting the old.  People fear change because it is beautiful and like all beautiful thing it hides pain within.  They make excuses of what is holding them back from the progress while it is themselves who are keeping them back.

 Unfortunately, some things honestly cannot be changed. Past cannot be changed, but you can learn from it.

 " I think we can now begin with the real storytelling. Let me tell one story that will explain to you how important is to change and adapt to the situation." I replied getting large smiles from everyone present

 The story began 4700 years ago in the time of pharaon Djoser. He was still a young pharaon when the event that marked his life as well as the entire Egyptian empire. He never thought that something like that could happen. It was the twilight, and he was eating grapes on the terrace of his palace when one of his most trusted advisors bursting to the door disoriented and awestruck. He began to speak to Pharaon.

 “Oh my lord, my lord. They are here. Gg-gods are h-here, and they wish to see you, my lord. They want to speak to you. They are here, they are here, among us mere mortals. Amon-Ra and Amunet have descended from their divine duelling to meet you, my lord. Oh, oh, oh. They are here!”

  He then began to cry the tears of pure joy and slowly fall to ecstasy. The pharaon, on the other hand, did not show any emotion of happiness and ower calmness as his advisor but of annoyance. He spoke with irritation clearly showing in his words.

 “Stop talking nonsense, my old friend. Why would gods want to come to Earth and talk to me? Are you sure that you did not drink too much of vine today?”

“My lord I am sure! Come and see for yourself. I am not laying or talking nonsense, and certainly, I am not drunk! Please, my lord, come and see!”

 The Pharaon Djoser followed his overwhelmed advisor, not because he believed him, but because he did not have anything better to do at this moment than to support, in his opinion, insane friend. He, of course, brought with him fifteen gourds, just in case this is the murder plot, although he did not believe that someone would want to kill him. After all, he was a wise and kind ruler.

 When they came to the main entrance to the place and were about to leave the grand building, a deep male voice spoke.

 “Pharaon Djoser of Egypt. Come and see.”

 The pharaon, advisor and guards quickly turned around to witness, for them, a perfect sight.  A raven-haired man with caramel skin tone and penetrating golden eyes. He was dress in a golden skirt. He was barefoot, and his chest was bear and sparkling on the latest rays of the Egyptian sun. Next to him stood the most beautiful woman they have ever seen. She dark hair, caramel skin and golden eyes. Her hair was long and looked so soft and unrealistic on the soft desert wind that was blowing toward slightly, the most unbelievable sight ever. She wore something that could look liked 21st-century one-piece bathing costume with bear back and hips. The difference was, that dress was made of Gold. They both looked real and intimidated while holding golden wands with shining diamonds on top of them. His diamond had the bright, warm colour while she had the colour of the starless sky, of the abyss. He put his arm on her bare hips and stared at the socked Pharaon without flickering. The silence that surrounded them was broken by a melodious voice of the gold-eye woman.

 " Do you know who we are? Do you know why we are here?"

 She stopped as if she was waiting for the answer she would not get. After a few seconds, she continued.

 " We are the hidden ones! You may call us by the names of your Gods and Goddess. Amunet would be I, and Amun-Ra would be my beloved one. The flame of our love flamed for over 4000 years, and it will glow forever, our love has no bounds and knows none of dying and mortality!"

 She stopped again, but this time to see, to explore the effect of her words. The result was great, humans in front of them started to shake, and the advisor befell on his knees. The silence was made again, but this time corrupted not by velveteen female voice, but by dark, shivering voice. It was Amon-Ra.

    " We came to you to ask you, Pharaon, for help. We need you and you people to work with us to defend your planet. Before we tell you anything about the emergency, we need t know if you are willing to work with us!"

 He looked in Pharaon making him fall on his knees an cry out

 " Of course, of course, of cour My Lords. Of course…! "

 Amunet and Amun-Ra looked satisfied. Pharaon and two "Gods" disappeared, leaving behind shaken advisor and guards.

Djoser, Aminet and Amun-Ra resembled for some time in what was the underground chamber for planning war tactics. Amun-Ra spoke.

 "What we are going to speak now, must not leave this chamber. Is this  crystal clear?"

 Pharaon could not speak from shock, so he just nodded. Amunet spoke next.

" We should better sit, as the story is running long."

As they sat on chairs around the old wood table, Amount began the story.

 " Every 10 000 years a phenomenon called alignment occurs at a particular spot in the Univers. This time it happens that the place is your planet. It will happen on the Earth."

 She spoke and place her finger on the map, that suddenly appeared, an on the south-east part of what is today recognised as United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northen Irland.

 "The alignment is the moment when all of the Universes and multiverses equalise, so it is possible to travel through all of them. Yes, there are more Universe that the one you live in. Moreover, Universe is the place beyond the sky; it is where all of us live. Multiverse, on the other hand, like another version of your universe, consisted of the ones before and after your was created. Like the past and future together, with no time at all.  The problem is the energy realised from the Alignment can destroy the entire planet and cause a huge hole in the Universe that would suck it all in itself, causing the end of this seen Universe. That is if it is not handled properly. We tried to manage it in the past, but the prices were huge. Extension of entire races and wintertime that lasted for thousands of years. However, now we have the plan to prevent all of it, and we need your help. We need your people to build pyramids in certain particular places."

 She showed places on the map marked with red crosses.

 " Pyramids will be build of particular stones that would be able to hold the energy and avoid destroying. The stones are located in your kingdom and have a green triangle on them, so your people will know which rocks to collect. They will fit perfectly together with one another, and green triangles will disappear once the pyramid is built. Supply of the stones is big enough to build pyramid thorough couple hundred years, around 3000 years I believe. Pyramids will be the pillars that will collect the energy released from the Alignment, lower its power a little. Accordingly, the received power will not destroy anything in multiverses including other universes, and it will be sent back. I will not go into details, but if you willing we can start immediately with the plan?"

Pharaon Djoser nodded again as they disappeared from the chamber.

 Two decades after, the first pyramid was built. Amon-Ra and Amunet were satisfied. They talked to Pharaon the day after in his private rooms. Amon-Ra spoke.

" We are both very pleased by your work. We will get you to gift as it is fit. However, before that, I want to present you one last thing regarding our plan."

He flicked his fingers, and fifteen horn-shaped instruments appeared in the chambers.

" These instruments are extraordinary. If the pyramid is placed in the wrong place, 10-15 people must surround it in the circle and play this instrument. Its times will lift the pyramid from the ground and as musicians walk in the circle to the place were pyramid is supposed to be, the pyramid shall follow them. 15 people are the best number, especially if the pyramid is big. Just enough air will circle pyramid to lift it. Now to the gift. We will give you part of our knowledge. Call your court clerk, and we shall instruct him what to write down."

As he said, it happened. The presentation looked like something like this.

That is the life celebrated,

That is the life lived! “

I AM YOUR FUTURE

CHAPTER 3 

  Olmec, Mayans, Inks and Aztecs

Upon finishing my story about Akkadian princess, Life spoke:

 “I honestly liked the story. You really are the great storyteller."

“Oh, rejoice, everybody, celebrate. Life finally liked something and did not guide it to its end. Rejoice, rejoice. Ha ha ha ha" shout Infinity on this strange event that happened

"Maybe I could narrate extra story since you liked my latest one so much" I proposed

"Do not shift your fortune, since Life can shift easily from contented and happy to its natural offensive and demanding self" warned me Death with its slow, calculated voice

 "Hey! I am not the bad one, remember. You are the greatest loss someone can survive; you are the merciless murderer that leaves the scars on hearth and soul that shall never be mend. You are a big player in this endless game, but I am greater than you. " Life quarrelled on Death

Death looked at Life emotionlessly for few moments and spoke with the voice that shakes the soul and freezes you straight to the core of your being.

 "Life. Do you really believe that all this is a game? Maybe at one point, you are right. But if you think that you can play it better than me, think again. You are small as a drop in the ocean, fast as rage and you never think twice. You rush to me, like a river to the sea. Every creature large or small believes it will gain a success since they have you on their team. They are wrong, so wrong. I delivered you to them, as an advantage in the game, for I am so sure of my victory. Don't bother yourself. just relax, and I'll take all that life can offer with no exception."

 Death was so close to Life that they were almost touching. Life was shaking in the nervousness of seeing a mere fraction of Deaths might. I flinched in fear. Even Time and Infinity had flashes of panic in their eyes. Although quiet and hidden in the shadows, Death remains compelling and we became the witness of that timeless truth.

 Death talk to me without exerting its eyes of the Life

" If you don't mind, can you start the story about Mayans, Inks, Aztecs and Olmec’s Culture."

“ O-OK. Ahem, ahem. The O-Olmec, Mayan, Incan, and Aztec c-civilisations are some of the most significant ancient cultures in h-history, and yet…I-I can- “

"CONTINUE!" shout Death at me, this time with more energy.

 I grimaced and continued

“The Olmec are generally overlooked e-entirely." I paused needed a deep breath and started over

“To make long story brief, Maya’s arrived first and established the culture in modern-day Mexico. Later the Olmec reached the region, who likewise settled in Mexico. They didn't create any larger cities, but they were widespread and flourishing culture. People both culture were followed by the Inca in modern-day Peru, and eventually the Aztecs, also in modern-day Mexico on the planet Erath."

       "Now allow me, to proceed. About 2,800 years ago, people identified as Maya civilisation lived in agriculture settlements on the Yucatan Peninsula and the mountains of something presently recognised as the Americas. From around A.D. 250 to A.D. 900, people organised city-states in Central America that involved majestic pyramid temples and public areas emphasising heavy marble pillars that described their vibrant past. I am right about this, or not" spoke Death still staring at Life

 “You are," I answered, with no intention to discuss.  

" Continue" Death blasted me a gaze appreciation

“No one remembers the specific origins of Olmec people. This is because the Olmec culture is one of Mexico's earliest cultures. It existed from 1400 BC to 400 BC. The Olmec controlled an empire that runs parallel with the Gulf of Mexico. The area as mentioned above is presently described as Veracruz. The Olmec survived by providing harvests and hunting wild animals for a portion of food. However, because of their closeness to the ocean, people also ate an abundance of the seafood. They planted the corn and cacao, as basic and sacred plants. Cacao was a highly utilised trade article. Olmec soils were incredibly fertile and rich, and people produced an abundance of native fruits and vegetables.”

 “They never described or named themselves, but the Aztecs called this region where the Olmec lived "Olman," said Life arrogantly, gradually gaining the courage.

" So who decided to name them Olman people?" questioned Death

“In the Aztec language of Nahunta, the word Olmec means "land of glue." That was because gum tree was overflowing the area. The intruders that arrived in the 15th century ingested everything they could to wipe-out all data of the existence of the Olmec culture. Some scientists consider that the Olmec didn't even exist as the separate civilisation, but I can guarantee that they are all wrong. Olmec civilisation was a remarkable early culture that did not see the purpose in creating the large empire that will ultimately fall into the scraps, because of death, because of you.” Life talked confidently scowling back at Death

 “They were one and single civilisation in human history that understood the mortality of man-maid systems and instruments as well as the mortality of the human reality itself. Those people understand that everything delivered to existence is condemned to depart, to perish. “said Death quietly without diverting dazzle from Life.

 The Inca established settling in the Valley of Cuzco in the Andes Mountains of central Peru nearby year 1200. Between 1440 and 1500, they extended their empire until it reached nearly 2,500 – “I was obstructed repeatedly

"Just imagine us one of the tales from the chronicle of the time. Use Olmec civilisation; they are attractive." Said Death and walked away from the Life

"But I did not finish explaining you about Inks and Aztecs." I proclaim

"We are the cause all even existed, we remember facts concerning them, but unlike you, we do not understand who they were actually “Death spoke deliberately and seriously slow

"All right" I choose not to fight with this powerful being

 To understand the greatness of an ancient civilisation, I will narrate a story of how did Olmec culture developed their math or better to say where they discovered math.

 Olmec people never desired to record the day for another generation to perceive it. It was the day when the kingdom was built. That was a day when they discovered mathematics.

   That day people noticed seeds of their fall. The day when one of the thrusts of the universe revealed itself.

It started as a sunny, clear day.  Despite beautiful day and peace, everybody felt something in the ambience. Something harmful. It was as their own bones talked and sang, sang a sad

melody, that could not be decoded. Yet! It was a hunch, premonition, feeling of the storm in the air before it actually comes.

Hours past, people worked within their daily routines, everyone shrugged the feeling and proceeded with the liveliness. Then it happened! Something came, at the midday, from the sky. It seemed as it slumped from nowhere.

   People gathered around, trying to conclude out what was that strange object. They could not found out much since they were scared to move it or go closer to it. At least not closer than about 3 miles.

 An hour or two after tensions came down a bit, a novelty of the town and assembly of the elder passed to the sight. They all were covered in traditional Olmec clothing, entirely in colours and ornaments.

 The prefect of the city was, as all people there, confused and mesmerised at the same time by the strobe reason that came to the town from nowhere.

The device was designed as a book and had the appearance of a broken tablet. It was filled by mysterious figures engrave on it. The material of the object was a solid rock, but not like unity found on the Earth. The space object radiated by purplish colour.

 The town chief had a glimpse of shock in eyes, and worry exposed on his face. He spoke observing the image in front of him:

“I know what it can be! I have heard the story once! It was not identical but close to this one! The foreign object came from the sky, from the stars! Not from father founders, but from the Star people. They have been touring the Earth for hundreds of years, as my ancestors told me the story about it. I do not know the specific focus in this, but I know one thing.  That object contains something important; it will teach us a valuable lesson or give us our first destruction."

After the discussion, everybody soothed in own thoughts, and the designed silence was pleasant and unpleasant at the same time. Suddenly the leader spoke in politically correct fashion since it was expected from him:

"We should first decode the meaning of symbols, and then we shall grieve about the future. Let us all work together on it, if all of you agree, of course!"

Everybody ended up managing together on the “sky-gift”. Within the 2-3 weeks, the symbols were decoded or at least the Olmec people thought that. They have transcribed it into a math symbol. Maybe it is convenient to state, incompetent to understand cryptography the Olmec chose to adopt them as the math symbols or letters, hieroglyphs.

                          They remained living they live, blooming and recording the story. The population formed the calendar and drainage system. The community was the first know culture to phantom existence of zero and first to establish hieroglyphics and numbering mathematical system. Although area prospered people know, all felt it in their bones that the end will come, they will be gone, it was as the "sky-stone" spoke to them and said, “Everything brought to existence must perish and so will you.”

Before they dispersed, they made large images of their gods which community considered had given that space-stone to people. But deep inside they all agreed that they were wrong since they realised that real authenticity had not been revealed.  

   When conquistadors arrived, men found no people, just great kingdom, the capital city and mysterious figures used as a language in the system of words and numbers. They found no space-stone. They found no people. But a bizarre feeling was riding about, and doubt of the unknown arose. Consequently, they buried and destroyed almost everything connected to the Olmec culture. Only statues endure on the several cities, remains of the drainage system and symbols, symbols in the sub-conciseness.

The "sky-stone" was undoubtedly from the extra-terrestrial species, as many of you apparently thought of. Yet, the stone did not purposely drop on the planet Earth. The spaceship was gently floating overhead the planet when one meagre piece of it slumped off. What a bizarre coincidence, just a probability, right? The universe does not give you what you ask but what you need to understand your mission, your purpose in the magnificent game.  

Regarding the Olmecs, it is shallower than you thought it would be. I will keep that as a secret and make all others considering other possible options, and imagination will run wild. After all, what joy would it be at all, to show you all the mysteries of recorded history?

 You are the starts deadened in the skin;

The universe is in your bones

And in the fracture of the soul

And it will never come to an end!

“Trust me,” said joyfully the Universe “I know what I am performing here."

I AM FUTURE YOU

ANTIQUE TIMES

CHAPTER 2

Mesopotamian empires

After some unmeasurable soundless time, Life declaimed.

“I was mistaken. Humans are not that tedious, can we just discuss memoir, even about the human history. This "muteness " is killing me, and I feel like I am under censorship. Humans are far more monotonous than their history!”

“You told us that we should observe human presences and not talk, remember?" said Time strictly.

“I know Father Time, but can you forgive me?" pleaded Life humbly, and it was not a natural state for Life itself. Humbleness is a mindset that is pretty unusual for Life.

“I know you far too well. My indulgence shall not leave any good influence on you, so you shall not get it" responded Time relentlessly and with zero empathy toward Life.

 I felt remorse for Life, hoping that Life could be turnabout to become wiser and selfless. I pitied Life, at that real moment. But, I desired to go furthermore, and I start my part of recapitulating past and history.

 “I would love to continue with my story about mortals we are observing over if I can?"

"Well, I am annoyed, and you are the exceptional storyteller, so I won't stop you." Announced Infinity with no rush at all.

Death just nodded, providing me with one of its precious, gentle smiles. I was so proud of the moment.

 “Infinity can you delivered an actual story; you are almost as great narrator then I am. I will not stop you either, but this is not the gift to the Life. I am warning you, if you start to complain as you did last time, we will speak on and forth for years when Infinity come to a conclusion " Time recommended Life by sharp, revengeful voice.

 Life was unbothered by the coldness of Time´s voice, and it externally jumped up and down on the scene. And I began the story.

 " Therefore the saga begins again. Humans, according to the evolution theory, held their position of the evolution which went from Ardipithecus kadabba to Homo Sapiens. Ardipithecus kadabba, the first human-like creature was bipedal (walked upright), and it was probably similar in the body and the brain size to the present day chimpanzee. This species had the canines that match these in the later hominins but that still project beyond the tooth row- “

 “Ugh, can you talk about something more interesting. These first human being so, so  poor and colourless." Life interpreted me and frowned before anyone can act, and I said

“Maybe you are right; we should start with something more exciting. How about the greatest empires ever on the planet surface, and that was Mesopotamian empires?”

   “I approve that, it seems exciting and interesting enough. Talk about that one empire you told me about- Akkadian. I liked that story very much, although I constantly seem to overlook it." Joyfully bellowed Life.

 I smiled at Life´s happiness. Life was always like this, joyous and out of concern in the world. I started the new-old story of Akkadian empire immediately.  

  “As far as I know, and I perceive a much the world's first empire occurred in about 2350 B.C. by Sargon the Great in Mesopotamia. Sargon's empire was named the Akkadian Empire, and it increased through the years identified as the Bronze Age. Sargon's empire covered the Sumerian cities of the Tigris-Euphrates Delta in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia consists of modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, northeast Syria, and southeast Turkey. Precisely the same planet quarter that will be under the siege during the 21st century and even earlier.  After gaining the power over these, Sargon continued through modern Syria. The Akkadian Empire eventually expanded across modern Turkey, Iran, and Lebanon. Sargon went into Egypt, India, and Ethiopia, but did not make an agreement with them. The Akkadian union crossed nearly 800 miles. The realm got the name after its capital town Agade (Akkad).”

 Life intervenes again by its recognisable impatience

" No -  " now it was Life´s moment to be obstructed

" No, comments with the No!" Time buzzed and hummed the Life

"All right. Where did I stop? Ah! I know. Many people ultimately converted bilingual in both Akkadian and Sumerian. Under Sargon's rule, the Akkadian Empire was vast and stable enough to include public services in daily life. The Akkadians formed the first carrier system, built roads, improved irrigation methods. They were advanced in arts, engineering and the sciences at the same time. Sargon established the idea that a ruler's son would become his successor and by such keep power within the family name. "

 I was obstructed again, but this time by raspy voice of the Death

" That was clever, but only at the beginning. Afterwards, it creates an incident of the incest. Oh, how many humans with genetic disorders were returned to me. Can you presume reproduction with your own flesh and family? Just one of the facts, how anything bright and good, can quickly be changed to darkness and spotted with wickedness." finished Death its testimony, " I see that I interpreted you, so I will stop revealing now."  

 I only agreed and remained in my story.

“ During the whole event, Akkadian kings assured their power and authority by establishing their offspring as city governors and their feminine descendants as high priestesses of essential idols. The Akkadian Empire's last ruler was Shar-Kali-Sharri. He was weak to keep peace and restraint of invasive control over his empire. The invasion of Gutians[1]Barbarians from the Zagros Mountains, at a time when the Akkadian Empire was weak from the period of anarchy due to a power struggle over the throne, led to the fall of the empire in 2150 B.C.  When the

   Akkadian Empire collapsed, starvation and aridity followed. This lasted until the Third Dynasty of Ur[2] took power around 2112 B.C.”

 " Death comes at the end!" almost shouted Life, glad that it certainly could speak

 " That is not the joke. It is a fact. I forever get a victory on end, don´t I ?" clarified Death with the moth-like connected jaws of the engorged wolf after its ancient feast on the helpless dying prey.

 Empires rise and unavoidably fall, like the repulsion of the God. As yourself, kingdoms hold their graves. As everything was designed, it is intended for the disappear. That is the unrelenting certainty of life. The fortress is decaying. Colours are fading. Temples are burning. Children die. The new empire is rising only to fall again in the dull grunt. It is just the universe breathing. Many empires and great civilisation arose and slumped in Mesopotamia, as well. We can call this the crib of the culture, as the first primordial soup was a cradle of the first atom. In that bassinet, many important events and people altered the shape of society. Some of them are myths, like Gilgamesh, and some are real, like Hammurabi. Many authors of 20th and 21st century took advantage of Hammurabi mysterious persona and constructed fiction stories.  

 Whatsoever, I do not want to be your new history professor by reporting you only boring, useless facts. I will bunch of different story of different characters in different time periods. I will tell you stories that I was part of and that are part of me.

 The first example exists within the first author that signified individual work. It happened that was not a man, but a Mesopotamian princess. Yes, that is right, the woman was a first-ever known author of the written work. Her name was EnheduaNa, daughter of the king Sargon. She was born in 2300 B.C. EnheduaNa stands for a woman in ancient history, whose role shows the different demands of women of all time. She was the forerunner of feminism here. Her position as a poet gives the endowment of a woman to the social, cultural and written literary record.  Besides as the priests, she reveals her power skills in the temple conduct and with the society, as well as in "divine marriage" with the gods.

 At last but not at least as the princess, describes her as a diplomat of her father and state and the mediator of conflict resolution within a culture divided by culture and language differences. She played a vital historical role, always posturing her father's right hand, even if she was the woman.  I will describe to you her first journey to temple Gishbanda where she wrote a great hymn about the glory of the place and Gods.

       TEMPLE HYMN 15

THE GISHBANDA TEMPLE OF NINGISHZIDA

 ancient place

set deep in the mountain

artfully

 dark shrine frightening and red place

safely placed in a field

no one can fathom your mighty hair-raising path

 Gishbanda

the neck-stock the fine-eyed net

the foot-shackling netherworld knot

your restored high wall is massive

like a trap

your inside the place where the sun rises

yields widespread abundance

your prince the sure-handed

shita priest of Inanna heaven’s holy one

 Lord Ningishzida

his thick and beautiful hair

falls down his back

O Gishbanda

has built this house on your radiant site

and placed his seat upon your dais

  It was the 50th day until the winter solstice. 14-year-old raven-haired Akkadian princess was in her bedchambers talking to her maidens

 “I just found out that I am to leave for the city of Ur, tomorrow in the first light. I demand you to prepare all of my dresses and belonging for this journey.”

 All of the maidens bowed, and the blue-haired one with the curved nose said

 “Of course your royal highness. ! May we leave her royal presence and start preparing her belongings?  ”

 Princess was for a moment lost in her thoughts. She did that often. She was more interested in poetry, religion and astrology, that in things and problems of " worldly things." She was open and happy to help her vassals in everyday problems. The girl was a green-eyed beauty but did not have a particular interest in beauty in general; she was more in her mind and out of this realm. She was stunning and peculiar, particularly for a woman of that time. Proper facial features in times of crude and un-refined beauty was a real example of uniqueness.  She was not married, and she did not want to be married. Her father let her become the high prices of his kingdom in the most prestigious city of Ur, adding En to her name. En means "high priests".

 En-he-du-An-Na

 Today was the day when she leaves for the city of Ur to become their official high priests. With that, she will become not just the Adornment of the Sky-God Anu, but also ritual “wife” of Ur´s god Nanna. That was a lot for one fourteen-year-old girl, but EnheduaNa is not ordinary fourteen-year-old. She is the daughter of the most powerful men on Earth, the king of all formerly known world. She knows that she is weak against the strength of the gods and fate,

 while still recognising that between mankind she is both noble and significant. She is just a woman after all, and every one of them is mostly used for procreation in general.

 She does not understand momentarily,  her impact on the history that will be significant since she is going to influence young people, thousands of years after her death. She does not see that she is all but at the same time powerless.  Kingdoms fall. Kings die. Corpses turn into the dash. Words live forever. Words of princess and high priestess EnheduaNa will certainly never be forgotten.

 Although we will never comprehend what she thought when she went on her journey that day, we know what she said to her maidens.

 “ Jeahen, Dheanna and Ehdanuada you will come with me to the city of Ur and form this day be my secret maidens. You will stay with me the whole day, while others can leave to do what I have told thee."

 All maidens bent and left, except Jeahen, Dheanna and Ehdanuada.

 Jeahen had a small face, shall lip and long auburn hair tied with an old, dirty piece of cloth, that looked like a piece from some bed sheet. She was reasonably good looking for a maiden. She also had big curious brown eyes small, but the full nose and few missing teeth in her sizeable plump mouth that seemed quite interesting on her round face. She was tall and bit overweight in contrast to other maidens.

 Deanna was that blue haired maiden with the big croup nose. She was not exactly the prettiest creature. She had a Long-tempered face, big yellow lips and sunken grey eyes, rounded with huge dark circles. She was quite tiny and malnourished.

 The third maiden, Ehdanuada, was probably most beautiful of all three maidens. She had curly black locks, little pink lips, green-blue eyes and long, but still beautiful nose. Her face was a square-shaped face and a dimple on her chin. She was tall and skinny.

 All three maidens had Dark Complexion and rough hands. They were all below twenty, although they looked more like in their forties.

Princess looked three maidens seriously for a few minutes and said

 " When we come to the Ur, we shall primary go to the house of his royal highness's old friend. We shall sleep there. Next day we shall go to the temple Gishbanda. Ehdanuada shall follow me there while the other two maidens shall stay at the house to prepare my dress for the evening walk and for dinner. The day after that I shall be introduced as the high priests of the city of Ur. My parents shall leave a few days after, but you three shall stay and be my personal maidens until my last breath."

" We understand, your royal highness. It will be our honour to serve you!"

  " Great! Now you shall get me that new dress my mother knitted for me, clean me, lose my hair and dress me for the bed. Also, these dresses in the corner of the room, all of them are yours! My personal maidens must look right!

 All maidens looked shocked and started speaking all in one.

 “ Oh!”

“That is so gracious of you.”

“Too, gracious.”

“We could not be more thankful.”

 “We are just the simple maidens; we do not deserve this, your grace.”

“ We could not possibly take this; it is too much!”

 "Nonsness! You are MY personal maidens after all. You shall take this, without an extra word. I want us to be friends and trust each other; I do not have a lot of friends, you know. I fell quite separated and alone; I ought to use some company…

 Such is enough sad thoughts! It is time for the night rest!

 It was taken five days to travel from the city of Akkad in the city of Ur.  King and his family were welcomed warmly and with applause. Some smiles and cheers were honest, and some were false. After all, it was supposed to show gratification and happiness when the most powerful family graces you with their presence.

 As EnheduaNa said, day after, they went to the temple Gisbanda. You could see admiration and intimidation in the eyes of the royal family, even the king's eyes when they climbed to an ancient temple. Princess was utterly mesmerised by the beauty of the secluded and secret place. She was slightly frightened by the massive wall and shadows temple placed on the small humans below. It was as they realise that despite all they might and glory, they are vulnerable, small and mortal. They went to the temple quite early, before the sunrise so they could reach it from the top of the temple. Supposedly, the most beautiful sunrise and sunset in all the world can be seen from the temple Gishbanda. That was certainly true. It was a moment princess will never forget. Sun slowly rose, bathing the walls and sculptures of deities with its divine glory. It was like the golden petal were falling on the sinner's soul, making it wake up from its deep hazy sleep. Princess will never forget the first impression the temple had on her and years after she wrote a hymn, glorifying the majestic place, but still reminding that like all the beautiful things, the temple hides some threat and wickedness which lurks from within ancient walls.

 Darkness and beauty are everywhere, together and intimate. Sorrow in joy. Living Life in death. Peace in the war. Thrones on the rose. Venom within the soft petals.

I AM THE FUTURE YOU

CHAPTER 1                        

  The Genesis

To think about the unthinkable we need to transcend the reality. To understand the future, we are obliged to understand the past. I am going to show all your flaws, failures, uprisings and falls. I am the one, that saw it all. Still, I am not the creator; I am not the creation, merely the reflection of the creation-you and the world around you. The way you reflect this creation is the direct reflection of your inner world which resides in one's soul. It is something old and beautiful within you that yearns for knowledge, but it is still young enough to love another body of the mortal.

 Every story, every tale has its origin, it is its personal Genesis. Therefore does yours and so do mine. Both stories are connected, both are merged. To understand one you need to know the other. That is the key. I will confess the story of the essential core of my being, by retelling your story of humanity. This way by painting the story of you, the fragile, mortal humans of Earth, I will reveal mine. You falling creatures that think of yourselves above everything else. You believe of yourselves as the masters of ground you live on. You have forgotten how small and insignificant you genuinely are in the vast of the Universe and its many inhabitants. There are many more creations than a bubble you live in. Some above, some below, some small like a pocket, some, even bigger than your limited brains can comprehend. I would need an endless number of pages and an infinite amount of hours to write about every single universe, for they are infinite, and as they are, so am I. I know that by now you are eager, like a sponge that  absorbs the water, to collect all the features I have about those universes. Humanity is a bit like a sponge; development consumes the existence.  Mankind tends to blend all the experience, but not to develop its spiritual value and intellectual reality but to bust false ego and show of the doubtful virtue. Then, slowly but firmly like the sponge saturated with dust, it leaves stains wherever thou go, but unlike the sponge that leaves pinches on food and drink, humanity neglects behind its wars, death and ruin. You weren't always like that, weren't you?

 Science says that it all begins with cells, atoms and subatomic particles. You know that story or should I assume hypothesis, right. The Big Bang Theory, the creation of the first cell, Darwin's theory of evolution and all such. It goes something like this:

 The time beings. The universe goes to superfast "inflation" from the size of an atom to the size of an orange or grapefruit in 10-43 seconds. Could you imagine a world shaped like a grapefruit or like an orange? It indeed was like that, although I did not know how the orange or the grapefruit looked like at the very moment. But that orange was in great nothingness or in some vast black space. It was more like a sandwich, and other universes were tranquil below and above, old and huge, while yours was like a little seed planted and ready to eventually grow in a big old oak tree.

 Before anything happened, there was nothing. Then Nothing spoke: "Who am I ?"

From the question, that reecho the nothingness, three powerful entities were created. Infinity, Time and Death – all the reflections of Nothing were born or should I say re-born. They were eager to answer the question that Nothing claimed. “You are a horizontal line between what is expected to be said and what is told," spoke Infinity quietly.

" You are a light glimpse between the two infinities." contradicted Time

"You are both wrong. Nothing is between the end and the beginning." cold voice of the youngest of all charged emptiness with its sound of Death.

Nothing listened to each of them and then spoke  “Infinity is between what is meant to be said and what is said. Time is a little glimpse between eternities. And Death, death is a force between the end and the new beginning. How then, I can be what you all are !?"

 The three entities were at the lack of words, speechless at the moment of time. And in that breathless conversation, Silence was born. It is not known how long Silence was wrapped around them, it does not know when the game occurs, in the past present or the future. But one thing is for sure, I know that I am a part of the event, and so is each one of you.  There is likely a problem hereabouts in the time and place that your little, weak mortal brains cannot comprehend.  

 Silence finally broke with the warm and loud voice, that ecocide through all the praise it.

“ Nothing is everywhere. Nothing is everyone.”

“I do not understand what you mean Voice.”

“What I am saying is that Everything is Nothing and Nothing is Everything. All of us is everything” spoke the Voice calmly.

“Who are you ?" asked Nothing by slightly confused voice.

“I am the Creator. Everything, like you, is as well" answered the Voice.

“Everything…” whispered Nothing and went into soundlessness again.

 At the same moment when Nothing whispered, life begins, and the story started to unravel.

 What if I say that your universe is just the particle trickle of the dew on the edge of the yeard in the world within the creation inside the universe. Contemplate it or not the revelation is clear like that. You are very, very small, but you are still the piece of the Creator, part of Infinity, and part of everything.

The Big bang is, by the scientists of your civilisation, the origin of your universe, and your fragment. But the real birth was far more before. My siblings and I watched above you, change within you under the vigilant eyes of parents Time, Infinity and Death. Offcourse that we did not just stand here and watched you, we had intervened in your life when necessary, but all history was just too dull at the end. We talk, we ask questions, and we try to answer them. We are not the all-knowing and all-powerful, after all.

 We did not speak at the beginning.

Our infinite conversation started with the wise words of Father Time.

 “ Humans are travellers on the cosmic journey, the stardust dancing in the whirlpool of the infinity. Life is normal. They just stopped for the moment to love, to encounter each other, to share. It is a precious moment, a little timeless stand in the eternity."

 Now you can see how the actual version of the creation happened, it consists of many parts, and it is one of the ingredients of all religious forms and scientific beliefs.

 “People are just boring, weak waves of peace of the Stardust, why did you mention them Father?" questioned curious Life.

"Because we are all underbelly connected. We are all one." was the reply.

"Although we are all one, some of us are more honoured than the other. For example, human beings love Life and hate you Death." Life considerately mocked Death.

"Did you ever wonder why?" asked Death, slowly getting closer.

"No, but..." Life was abruptly interrupted by the Death " Because you are a beautiful lie, and I am the uninvadable ugly truth."

"Nevertheless " obviously intimidated by the Death, " I wonder how this insignificant humanity was created, how their world came to be? " asked Life.

  At that moment I find an excuse to speak myself.

" I know, I know exactly what happened. I can describe the story if nobody minds." I hinted enthusiastically.

" All right, my dear. Reveal us the story and soothe down" soft and gently continue the Time.

" So, the first moment that ever happened was something like the Big Bang, the voice of the dark matter that caused everything " I began my story of Genesis.

"So what happened next ?" required Life rolling its eyes.

“Next thing that happened, after the Big Bang, stands at around 10-32 seconds. Post expansion and the universe is the boiling, hot soup.”

Of course, it is not made of tomato of vegetables, since the plants were created billions of years after.  I smile shyly " It was a soup of electrons and additional scraps."

I have maintained the story by not minding the Life”s random remarks

“Scientists would love to sip the soup, I mean they spent an entire lifetime following tiny atoms and cells by the heart of the scope, but basically they are missing the bigger picture. “ Life bonded now more into the story.

“Correct, that big picture is the one I am trying to paint. Although contrary to popular belief, I am a pitiful artist. " I replied smiling widely, “ Now we are going to the last part of the very first time of the creation. The importance of this situationcontinues in a reduction of the temperature, that caused the quark[1] taste to milk. That was how the first noble moment of the universe was designed.”  

 “ The first birthday of the universe.

 Happy Birthday to you.

 Happy Birthday to you.

 Happy Birthday, Dear Universe.

 Happy Birthday to you” responded Life joyfully.

 “After that initial, first bit, the universe started to celebrate anniversary less often ending with its birthday every couple of billions of years. Regardless of it all, I count, notice and always recorded every moment in time, every moment of each of the infinite number of the universes.  You may think of me as a colossal nerd,  OCD person or a creeper, but believe me, I am more powerful than you could ever grasp. You should fear me, dread me and I consider that you already do." I spoke, more to humanity than to family.

" But as I told you before, the more you know about yourself, the more you will know about me."

"Yea, yeah. You are so scary; I think I faint" performed Life.

 After the first celebration in honour of the universe, we will jump on the moment that was tiny but yet important.  That was the 3rd minute of the creation. The temperature was still high108 ° C, and everything was boiling. It was too stuffy for electrons and protons to form fragments. Therefore they blocked light from glowing.

 I recall the flash with melancholy

" If you are truly curious about this, and I know that some of you are, you can examine some specialists or sages; they will probably reply to you in such manner that you will be confused and lost in version. Although I know that many, if not all of those ones are faulty."

I went through questions of why and how that is followed. " What happened next, after the universe became the superhot mist?”

“The Mist! Such an exciting and mysterious word, even for the soul as old as me. Mist are everywhere around as in the air, in songs, poems, books, as below us and above as well.”

I replied and immediately started to recall memories. “ It is a state in between reality and fiction, a realm between light and dark, a kingdom between life and death. It is around even when you can't see it.”

 “Humans fear of mist, they don't realise that it is necessary to remind themselves that all of the life is not what happens in front of the noses or their sights.  They do not perceive that hope they clasp on in the darkest of ties, hides in the mist. The life opportunities are brought by a bit of the spray of the uncertainty. People do not see that they have to walk through the foggy haze to change and whether the change is good or bad is not defined by itself but by a person and its choices wise and stupid ones. Listen to my advice, and do not let agony, regret, fear or depression to make you blind to the fact that every new day and every new moment carries whit in the abundance of opportunities to move your life in the direction right for you, in the mist you live paths. Most of the forms live in a cloudy fog. It's like a vivid book, and you like the character swiftly set in it, but you do not question the mist around it. You know that something important is going on, but you just can't figure out the scheme. You don't know what part is supposed to play or what the story is actually about. You just stand there like a puppet waiting for a puppeteer, lost in the mist of your own confusing thoughts within the more significant vapour. " Death spoke its gruff monologue.

 “ Do not let your life to be like that, don't just eat, sleep, procreate in that marathon by no finish line, whit no cheering, whit no witnesses, just a  no-end line within you …  " Infinity stopped to catch a breath or two and then finished,  "Find the purpose for your travelling, find the meaning in your experiences. Trust me. Beyond the cloud always lies simplicity, just as there is the light in the clarity.”

 “The proper order of the Things are often a complex mystery, is it not? Infinity gave us quite a lot to consider at and reflect about, right?" I was thinking loudly, “While you think and reflect on complexity; I will continue my tale.”

 It was 300 000 years after the creation of time in your worldly measurements. The temperature fell down; electrons are finally connected with protons and neutrons in fragment structure, mostly hydrogen and helium. Since light can finally shine, the sightseeing scene was more vivid, at that moment.

 “ It is striking how the light cast the dark abyss, is it not?” was my question for mostly myself again. “ However, as long as there is a light, there shall be darkness in coexistence.”  

 Darkness is always before the light, steadily waiting to come, no matter how fast light shall travel. Many do not see the lasting bond between this couple.

 “How would anyone classify the light if did not saw darkness first?” I was asking a question again, and again, “ And how would anyone know what the secrecy of knowledge is if it did not dare to shine?”

 If you ponder about this on the individual level, your mind begins to experience itself as never did before. All the uniqueness about it is survival on the fragile line between light and shadow, the Sun and the Moon, night and dawn. Each force is consist of both flash and cryptic, the question is, how much of which you will let out? While these two forces continue to twist, fight and shape, other significant events took place in the universe, and something rose to exist for the first time.  

 When the temperature was around -200° C, and after 1 billion of earthly years the scene was cold and dry. Gravity made hydrogen and helium gases blend to form the giant vapours that will create future galaxies; smaller clumps of gas collapse to build the first stars.

 I continued with this story, rapidly and enthusiastically as the very first time…

"It is exciting how much of time is necessary for the Star to be formed. In the past, people were hugely dependent on stars, its radiant light and scene on the night sky. As time passed, the people appear to forget the importance of cosmic fragments and the appreciation of their beauty has faded. Everybody believes that stars are leaders of the light and solicitudes of darkness while many are blinded to the fact that both are nothing more but the slaves of his or her own desires and fusses, torn continuously between demons and angels, chained for internity in delusion made by themselves in the fear from the truth."

 Now it was, apparently, turn for the Time to be wise and speak.

“One part of the truth is that everything starts to exists will eventually stop to exist. Stars arrived, and stars will die. That happened around 15 billion years after the Great beginning. Galaxies group together under the gravity force and the first star casts lapse and eject the heavy elements into time and space. First, dead star fall was magnificent,  and remains will eventually settle into the new star, planet and therefore to new creation and/or civilisation. That is how the entire cosmic system, planet Earth and every single piece of the human body o was created from the first carbon waste."

 Can you imagine? Your bones and flash, all you can witness around were originated from the dust of dying stars, from the cloud that lives in you like a singular part of life itself. It sounds dramatic and dark, somehow forbidden to comprehend. Life is sprouting from the earth of the death! It is interesting how one think about both, but distinctly and I wonder when those two went different ways in mind of comprehension. Why many fear death and eventually forget how to live, and at the same time all are born from clouds, ashes and remains. Such a significant disadvantage in life to vanish before real death happens at all.

 As I already mentioned life, let me tell you how life on Earth was created.

“All living things possess carbon within them. In light of this, Earth needed to have a vast supply of carbon to supply a rich diversity of life. The carbon was available due to the violent nature of the Erath at the beginning, when volcanoes spewed various elements into the Earth's atmosphere. Since other elements were present as well, many chemical reactions started to take the place which resulted in the creation of various new features and the compounds. One of those created compounds were the building blocks of the protein, small, simple and not diversified. There and then the early sign of life on Earth inhabited the sea and absorbed the organic material created by the reactions of Earth at the time (i.e. the creation of amino acids). The building blocks formed first bioorganisms and also acted as a food source to them. It is the common belief that from this point forward, in the science universe, of course, the evolution took place. There are many other scientific theories of the genesis,  on life on Earth, and I won't tell you more, nor I will tell you which one is correct. Your belief is your choice, although, all of them might be incorrect at the end what life is but a constant questioning of basic or advanced settings?”A plant that is incapable of synthesising its own organic carbon-based compounds from inorganic sources, hence, feeds on organic matter produced by, or available in, other bodies. Heterotrophs are the consumers in the food chain, mainly the herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. All mammals, some fungi and most bacteria are heterotrophs. They are not capable of producing their own food. Therefore, they obtain their energy requirements by feeding on organic matter or another organism. One lives on others death, so it was necessary to label and form to each of those two paths in our memory since it seems smart at the moment.An organism is a heterotroph if it obtains its carbon from organic compounds. If it obtains nitrogen from organic compounds but not energy, it is still considered an autotroph (such as carnivorous plants).Organisms that obtain carbon from organic compounds may either be: photoheterotrophs or chemoheterotrophs. 

In general, organisms in the evolutionary chain became more involved in their nature, i.e. the first organisms were likely.

“You know how they say life goes from A to D. From the birth to the death. And what is C then? C is the choice. Life is full of choices, many paths you can follow ar even make new ones. Decisions are significant and essential as for example will the war happen or not, or minor and everyday as will you continue to read this book or not. " interpreted Life in the manner of a Zen master.

 Besides this scientific and objectively accurate view of the genesis of the life on the Erath, there is religious view as well. And there the God exists, maybe even more Gods or some kind of higher power occupied continuously in the manner. In Christianity and Hebrew culture, there is a book in the Old Testament called The book of the Genesis in which is described how God created the Earth life.

 Genesis 1:26 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So God created mankind in his own image,

in the image of God, he created them;

male and female he created them.

…God saw all that he had made, and it was perfect. And there was an evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. “  

 “Almost everyone knows this story from the Bible.”  Life said acting like the drama queen.

“I mean, we witness Bible being written and it was not so interesting and amazing as humans and you, obviously, make it be."  

 There are many more stories, myths and legends of the creation of mankind. In Vedas is said that there are 4 yugas as 4 big time laps - Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga and Kaliyuga. We are now in 4th lap or Kaliyuga. And then when a white incarnation of the Lord destroys the Erath, and its last time lap the cycle will repeat.  4 Yugas create one Divya-Yuga – 4.32 million human years. 71 Divya – yuga creates one Manvantra- 306.32 million human years. 14 Manvantras creates one Kalpa or one day of Brama - 4.32 billion years. 36 000 Kaplas and same amounts of the nights create the life of Brahma- around 311.04 trillion human years. The universe begins within the 1st  day of Brahma and ends with last night.

Everything is created by the supreme being- Lord Visnu. This is a simple and very brief summary of Genesis in Vedas.

 If you desire to know more about all, take a risk in accepting your modern technology or big old books, little humans.

Think a little bit more. If you try to connect those stories and myths, it all fits just like the puzzle. Of course, you have to distinguish which ones are real and which fake. It makes sense, does it? All facts science proclaimed also could have happened. The Big Bang could be very well the beginning of the first day of Brahma. Interesting, right?  

 I was finishing the tale “Remember what I said before. Everything that is born will die. So will you, and so will your universe.”

 Do not worry about me. I shall exist, till the end of the time.

 "Can we just stop with the conversation for now and concentrate on watching humans. You are becoming more boring than them" Life spoke turning its back from one.

"All right, my child" confidently said the Time, knowing it has Infinity to always back him up.

" Do not be so full of your self, Life?" said Infinity, but Life never listened.

    Time never stops, never changes or waits for everyone.

It last forever.

It moves in eternity.

It teaches everyone what really matters!
