Scientists Are Seeking After Matsya Avatara!

 

http://www.yoot.com/expedition.html

 

 

Local legends in and around the Nile Delta Region tells of a mysterious animal called the Man of the Sea that spoke to humans and possessed great knowledge of the ancient world. Much of the legend and mythos surrounding the Seaman has to do with the fact that there is so little hard evidence on the creature. Even though one was bred in captivity and was on display in aquariums across Japan, it remains a mystery as to what the creature is or how it will evolve. Sightings of the creature are rare and interaction with one in the wild is even more so.

 

Many of the theories brought forth by Dr. Jean Paul Gassé (credited with the discovery of Seaman) and the Anthro-Bio Archaeology community help to support the legend and are still hotly debated today.

 

In 1932, Gassé was selected as a member of an investigating commission out to conduct a large-scale study of the Nile coastal ecosystem between Aswan and the city of Alexandria on the Nile River. During the 8-month course of the expedition, Gassé began discovering mutated bone fragments along the river’s bed. While studying the fragments, Gassé determined first, that all these creatures had evolved independently over a short period of time by adapting to the environment. And secondly, that because this creature could interact and speak to human beings, it served as a medium to transmit human knowledge. In other words, this creature could acquire knowledge from the person it was speaking with and attain a human-like intellect. He also discovered that the bone fragments of these unknown creatures correlated with hieroglyphics found on the ruins of pyramid walls dating back to the ancient third dynasty. It was through this last hypothesis that Gassé believed that this new creature had in fact transmitted mathematics to the Ancient Egyptians.

 

Before he was to return for Paris, fate played its hand again when Gassé happened upon one of these living Seaman in the town of Alexandria, north of the Nile. The locals were aware of the living Seaman and Gassé was quick to procure some of the eggs to take back to study in Paris. Gassé quickly tried to breed the Seaman but his exhaustive efforts would fail time and again. Based on his comprehensive studies, Gassé would soon write a new theory, “The Examination of the Evolution of Living Creatures as Seen through Seaman’s Adaptation to His External Environment and Speed of Organic Change. "In this thesis, it said while genes were being rearranged dynamically inside Seaman’s cells, an adaptation is made to the environment." Moreover, while this creature interactively talked with humans, it created a medium for him to expand his human knowledge. In other words, he becomes more human-like by other’s knowledge.

 

Much of the speculation surrounds Seaman’s connection to ancient Egypt. The greatest mystery of the ancient Egyptian civilization is the sudden appearance of an advanced society in the middle of the desert. Normally, intermediate steps can be observed in the development of any civilization. There have been, however, absolutely no such discoveries that could explain the development of ancient Egypt. Some people have even tried to tie the existence of these creatures to creatures from outer space. The reasoning behind their theory was that the ancient Egyptian civilization appeared suddenly, with unknown origins and was technologically advanced enough to build pyramids -- a feat of engineering that is challenging enough with modern equipment and technology.

 

Images of Seaman began appearing in ancient Egypt around 2600 B.C., after the ancient third dynasty, as wall paintings. The third dynasty is famous for being the beginning of the rush to build pyramids. Prior to that time, there is no record of the existence of Seaman, and after the later half of the third dynasty hardly any drawings of Seaman exist. There are, moreover, absolutely no records of how the pyramids were constructed.

 

Dr. Gassé hypothesized that because this creature could interact and speak with human beings, it served as a medium to transmit human knowledge. He came to believe that the knowledge necessary to construct the pyramids was somehow entrusted in Seaman, and then spread to other ancient civilizations as well. Considering all the conditions, Professor Gassé constructed the hypothesis that a living creature (i.e. Seaman) could take the knowledge that existed during the third dynasty, and cross oceans to spread the knowledge to other lands. Gassé even started to believe that the creatures spread knowledge to other civilizations that propagated and flourished. Moreover, he felt that it was through Seaman that ancient Egyptian mathematics were transmitted.

 

Scientists soon hope to be able to study and research the Seaman in its natural habitat, a feat never before accomplished on such a major scale. The expedition team, led by renowned American explorer Andrew Resnick, will be building upon research initially done by Professor Jean Paul Gassé in the 1930’s. Gassé was the French scientist first credited with the discovery of the Seaman.

 

The key to the entire expedition will be to track down the Seaman’s natural habitat, which could cover various waterways and bodies along a 100-mile stretch of the Nile. No scientific eye within the modern world has recorded the life of the Seaman in the wild. Even Dr. Gassé’s research on the animal was done with eggs grown in captivity. The evolution of the Seaman holds many secrets and with theories linking the Seaman to ancient Egyptian civilization, the expedition team hopes to answer some of them.

 

The main points of the expedition are twofold: 1)This will be the main thrust as the bulk of the team conducts a search and study of the Seaman as well as further the research originally started by Dr. Jean Paul Gassé. 2)This will be happening in parallel and consists of successfully breeding the Seaman in a controlled lab environment while receiving input from the field team.

This expedition also allows for the growth of science’s newest field of study: Anthro-Bio Archaeology. Anthro-Bio Archaeology is a field of study unifying the theories of the biological, archaeological, and anthropological sciences.

For certain this expedition and the whole thing is only a joke. But one cannot discard the possibility of a coming “Seaman” like that through transgenic or bio-genetic engineering.

 

I wonder what could be the reaction of the religion’s staff in that case: Pope’s opinion, Dalai Lama’s, Iskcon gurus’, Islam mullahs’, and so on. Would they consider this Hari’s lila as something divine? Or a Devil's game?

The real thing we need to look out for is in the next few years (50-100 years) as science advances all sorts of genetic changes will occur. It will be rather scary to think of all the ethical issues that will be raised by man changing its genetic structure. For instance, will we see the elimination of some races? Not by any Hitlerian method, but by means that will reach the same result. If everyone decides they want their children to be beautiful and intelligent who will decide what beauty is? Only the wealthy will be able to make these choices, and most likely they'll choose certain racially defined notions of beauty. Or how about food. I read a while back of some tomatoes that were being genetically altered with fish DNA to give them a longer shelf life. Can we as vegetarians eat such genetically altered food? We're going to be in for some interesting times.

There is a body and some postcards with pictures of some sort of sea man in a place (now a museum) called The Bird Cage, in Tombstone, Arizona. The legend is that a Chinese fellow brought the body. Do not know if it is a hoax or not but it is very odd.

Dharma,

 

I was hoping to find some pictures of that sea-man but came up short. Anyways, here are some links to The Bird Cage in Tombstone, AZ.

I know this reply isn't a "spiritual" discussion, but I thought it might be fun for our readers to check out a real life American ghosttown Posted Image Here is also a quick blurb I found as well.

 

Bird Cage Theater

 

The Bird Cage Theater, a saloon and dance hall, opened in 1881, and during its brief 9-year life, was one of the most famous saloons in the country. It was named for the 14 "bird cage" crib compartments that hang from the ceiling. These "cribs," really nothing more than small rooms, were for "ladies of the evening" who used these cribs to entertain their clients.

 

The saloon was the site of 16 gunfights, and bullet holes riddle the walls and floors. The Bird Cage closed in 1889 when the mines that were the source of Tombstone's wealth flooded with underground streams, and Tombstone's population trickled away.

 

The Theater was boarded up completely intact and stayed closed for over 50 years, until it was reopened in 1934, with everything inside preserved in its original state. Even the coin-operated juke box still works.

Satyaraja Dasa,

I do not know if the bones speak, but if they could they surely would have some stories to tell!

 

You were speaking of genetic engineering. A Yoruba Priest (African Religion) told me that there is an oral tradition of a very evolved culture in the Sudan that used genetic engineering. The pig he said was the closest living relative of one of these engineeered animals. It was a hybrid of the dog, the rat, and the human being and was made for garbage control. I do not know if it is true or not, yet don't pigs and humans have similar DNA? Suppose anything is possible. Is interesting that in most cultures that evolved in that area to eat pig is taboo and karmically is said to be much like killing a human being.

 

Good links, Guaracanda. The bird cage is not as large as you might think. Upon entering is an almost lifesize portrait of the famous dancer, "Little Egypt" (as the song goes: "Little Egypt came a strutting wearing nothing but a button and a bow.")

 

Guess the sea man was an added attraction in the Wild Wild West. They call it Tombstone because the founder was told he would see his tombstone before he found a silver mine. So he named it Tombstone.

 

The sea man is pretty strange to see in that unlikely desert location. Once I saw something called a devil fish in an aquarium store. It is some type of sea manta ray but when dried looks a small Judeo Christian variety of demon with wings and a pointed tail. Perhaps it is the drying that gives the Bird Cage's sea man its other-worldly appearance. It looks alot like you would imagine a merman to look. It may be a hoax of some sort for if nothing else, Tombstone has a sense of humor.

Dharma: You were speaking of genetic engineering. A Yoruba Priest (African Religion) told me that there is an oral tradition of a very evolved culture in the Sudan that used genetic engineering...

Satyaraj: This thesis is also presented by some smrtis. According to them visarga or the secondary creation made by Brahma is done by engineering. Not only material engineering such as how to organize material worlds and its environment, but genetic engineering too.

 

Brahmaji and his staff are always making new arrangements to place jivas in new worlds and bodies and these places change according to engineering codes and rules. Isn’t the DNA’s code itself an engineering code?
