The valley itself hosts the great cities of Harappa and
Mohenjo-Daro; cities thought to be 4500 years old, predating the historical
society of India. The Indus Valley culture came to a
sudden end in about 1500BCE when invaders from the north ransacked the area. The speed of this demise is demonstrated by the fact that
skeletons of slaughtered inhabitants have been found preserved at the old street
level (45). Along with their destruction went our potential for understanding
their ancient script, for their writings are now indecipherable, with their
language disappearing along with the extinction of those who spoke it. Yet these people left behind a mystery for us to contemplate. We know
they had a distinct script for many of the letters or syllables have survived on
seals and other documents. What is remarkable is the similarity of these symbols
with those found on the 'rongo-rongo' boards or carved on rocks on Easter
Island, the opposite side of the world (above). There are other examples of apparent connections between
ancient peoples. Such examples include the Chinese style frieze motifs found at
El Tajin and other sites in Mexico, which have a close resemblance to ancient
designs from the earliest Chinese dynasties (Hsia, Shang and Ch'ou 2000 to 250
BCE.)
The Olmecs leave further evidence of the global wandering of
ancient man. The Olmec culture can be dated to c. 1500 BCE and although little
is known of their existence, James and Oliver Tickell refer to their "complex
calendar from astronomical observation that underpinned their religion,
mathematics and science (47)." Our interest in the
Olmecs here stems from the carved heads they left in Mexico (below). Quite
clearly the statues show Negroid features, and yet Negroes were supposedly
unknown in the Americas until the voyage of Columbus, just as cocaine was
supposedly unknown to the Egyptians, despite traces being found in the bodies of
a number of Pharaohs.
In 1952 another find was made that indicates that ancient man
wandered far and wide across the surface of the planet. This was the discovery
by Dr. Daniel Ruzo of megalithic sculptures in Marcahuasi. Marcahuasi itself is
about 80 kilometres north of Lima in Peru and is a plateau at an altitude of
4000 metres, where the air is cold and the landscape barren. There, Ruzo discovered huge figures of people and animals
carved out of stone. Lions, cows, elephants and camels, which had never lived in
the Americas, surrounded him. He also noted an amphichelydia - an extinct
ancestor of the turtle, known only by its fossilised remains.
There was also a sculpture of a horse, yet the horse died
out in America around 9000 years ago, reappearing in the 16th Century
when the conquistadors brought it with them from Spain. There is one obvious
answer to this puzzle; the sculptures are simply from the past few hundred
years.
Yet geologists have analysed the white dioritic porphyry from which the
heads were carved, and conclude that the stone would have needed at least 10,000
years to take on the grey tint it now shows in the cuts (48).Then in 1962 on a rocky cliff west of Alice Springs in the
heart of Australia, Michael Terry discovered a carving of the extinct Nototherium Mitchelli. This rhinoceros-type animal had disappeared some 2,500
years ago.
In the same place he found six carvings of what appeared to be ram's
heads (49) and yet rams were supposedly unknown in Australia until the arrival
of the English. It seems that whoever these people were, they knew how to
travel, having left behind numerous clues to their wanderings. So who were these
people and where did they live?
