The History Of the Terrans

As I sit upon my thrown in the Exalted High Palace of Evad, I Burkey, the Grand Emperor Supreme of the Galaxy of Evad, look out into the heavens and see all the marvelous worlds we have inhabited, all the great societies we have had, and the rise from the ?First Humans? on our original planet of ?Terra Prime? to our Grand enlightened Civilization we have now.
   I reflect on the legends and beginnings of our people, or what we know of it, and the wonderful technical and social evolution we have gone through. True, It has been a long time since the beginning days, some several million years, and much has happened. Until recently in our history, about million years ago, we didn?t even know the true origins of our species. All we had were theories and legends. Some said we evolved from primates, some said we were created from the dust of the earth, and we found out none of that was true. Finally, another advanced species, admittedly more advanced than our own, called the KRUB, came to contact us and told us of our true beginnings. They kept meticulous records of everything that has been done, every invention, every advancement in technology, government, and civilization. They proved this by showing us the records they took of our advancements. What astonished us was, who they said they were. The KRUB.

   Now I will tell you the TRUE history of our people, according to what these beings said. To tell it all would fill thousands of libraries, many thousands of terabytes of information. So I will condense the more important parts of the history. I will start at the very beginning.
    Millions and Millions of years ago, the KRUB were an enlightened, omnipotent race of beings far more advanced than any other species in the Universe (like the Q on Star Trek). They easily got bored and liked to amuse themselves at the expense of the ?lesser? species. They had these pet/slaves, the ?humans?, that they thought had no intelligence, no language, or any other qualities of a civilized society. They were bred to be pets for the KRUB. We were never told how they became to be pets.

   On a small uninhabited planet in the nether most part of the Universe, in a far away, unknown galaxy, in a solar system not even found on the star charts of the grand Library of Ethos, they decided to do an experiment. A small group of about 20 of the KRUB called the ?Evad?, (though I refer to them as KRUB) which this galaxy is named for, got together and decided to take some of these pet ?humans? and put them on this planet. They were placed in a lush green valley with streams and lakes, near the equator, to see how long they would survive. The KRUB knew they would need food, so they put them in a place where they could obtain it for themselves easily. If they could figure it out. For they had been given food for as long as they knew about. They also put the humans in a climate that would be suitable for them, for the KRUB thought they wouldn?t survive even a day in a harsher environment. These humans did not know anything of technology, language, or society, as far as the KRUB knew. They thought that these pathetic life forms would all die with in a matter of weeks. Little did they know how resilient the humans really were.

   They started with 10 humans, 5 male and 5 female, so in an event that they could figure it out, they could mate and reproduce. Then they stood back and watched, and took records. To their amazement, the humans lived for more than they had expected. They found ways to feed themselves and shelter themselves from the elements. The KRUB found out that left to their own devices, the humans did have some sort of intelligence, so they decided to leave them and continue to watch and record.

   These first people upon ?Terra Prime?, our early ancestors, are known as the ?Original Humans? or ?Originals?. All of the humans we know of today are descendants from this group. They knew they had a chance to gain what they so desperately wanted, to be in control of their own destiny and not bred to be pets for the KRUB. They were not as the KRUB thought they were, they had intelligence, they had knowledge of some things, and they had language. It?s just that the KRUB couldn?t hear the language because it was in a pitch that the KRUB couldn?t hear.
    Since this little band, as well as other humans, never were taught about, or used technology, they knew nothing about it. They, compared to the rest of the Universe were extremely primitive. They hunted for their food and gathered what they could and lived in caves at first. They discovered fire and cooking, by lightning that struck a tree. There were animals in the tree, and as the tree got burnt the animals got cooked. They liked the smell of the cooked flesh and ate it. Since it tasted a lot better than the raw meat that they had been eating, they knew a use for this fire and kept a part of the tree that was burning. They continued to put more wood on the fire to keep it going. When it became dark, they saw that the fire also provided light.
   As time went on they followed the herds of animals as they migrated and hunted them as needed. They remembered the captivity they were in with the KRUB and didn?t want to subject other animals to the same thing. They lived with the land and learned about it and what plants were good for what. They also learned which animals were good for eating and which were not. They also multiplied their own species. Since their language was not written at the time, they drew pictures on the cave walls from the ends of burnt sticks to convey messages. They also found plants that?s juices could be used for color. They thought of names for the plants and animals, and named the planet they were on. Though they didn?t know if there were any other intelligent beings on the planet. They called it ?Terra? or in their language ?OUR LAND? so from then on the humans became known, to at least themselves for the time being as ?Terrans.? We call it ?Terra Prime?, for it was the First World of our people, As far as we can tell.

   The KRUB visited them every once in a while. From the different light rays and perceptions of the visual cortex, these Humans saw the KRUB as a shimmering light, almost as a ghost or a spirit. So unknowingly, these ?pet? humans, saw the KRUB as supernatural beings or Gods, just because the true sight of them were in a different spectrum than what the Humans could see. And to them, they were, for the KRUB were so superior to them or any one else, they were Gods. As time went on, the KRUB were able to read the minds of the Humans. They never bothered to do this before, because there was just no need. It was like trying to figure out what a chicken was thinking. Why bother. But now there was a need. Though now they knew the thoughts of the Humans, they mostly left them alone to develop on their own. There were times though that they deliberately helped them, or hurt them.
    When the KRUB saw that the Humans were close to another level in their civilization, culture, or technology, but just couldn?t get over the hurdle, they gave them a little push, by putting the answer to the problem in their minds to get them to the next level. Most of the time though, the Humans figured things out for themselves. When the KRUB saw that the humans had figured something out, they were happy. They felt like parents raising their young, and helping them learn and grow. After many decades, they no longer thought of humans of disgusting life forms, but as their children that were growing up.
    Also playing the role of GODS, the KRUB could help the humans physically, or hurt them. As well as many other things that there is not room here to write. They had powers far beyond that of any other species in the universe and thus to many, they were gods. They were telepathic, and spoke to each other with their minds, when they tried, they found they could also do this with humans as well. They could see the picture of what the people were thinking about. As the humans got more numerous, and looking into every mind was too time consuming, they thought of other ways to keep tabs on them. Most of the time they only focused on certain individuals, like political and religious leaders, inventors, geniuses, and the like, that would shape the future of the race.
    The humans worshiped the KRUB, as well as it should have been, At first the KRUB were amused, but after a while, they took it seriously. Since there were many KRUB in this group, many religions rose up in different forms to worship the different ones. I will tell more about the religions later in this account.
   Over time the ?Originals? died, and the knowledge of the former way the humans had lived had died with them for most of the people didn?t believe the stories of the ?old days? and the KRUB didn?t remind them either.
   Terrans eventually learned about farming, and growing the food they ate instead of foraging for it. They moved from the caves to building shelters out on the land. As generations went on, they developed herding and domestication. They found certain animals they could control and put into a contained area. Thus the bands were more apt to stay in one place. Some though, liked the idea of being free to travel and continued to follow the herds as nomads. These also believed the stories their parents or grand parents had told them, and didn?t want to keep animals as pets or in pens.
   When a band of kin got to large to support themselves on the gardens, or herding, there were divisions among them, they split up and the separate group of kin went off and started their own community. They mostly herded until they could get their gardens ready. These gardens couldn?t support many people, because they relied on rain for the water. After the plot of land didn?t produce well anymore, they switched and used the land they used for the herds, which was usually more fertile from the animal droppings fertilizing it. Then they would graze the animals on the land they had used for gardens.
    Usually the eldest of the members of the band or tribe, was the leader of the band. It was a tradition and thus uncontested. When that leader died, the next eldest was appointed leader. They believed that the eldest should be the wisest, and thus knew the best for the group. This worked for a while, but the old men kept dying shortly after being appointed so they modified the system. If the next eldest was really old, and close to dying, they would choose the oldest male that had at least 10 years left in him. Thus they didn?t have to keep appointing leaders one after another.
   These leaders, called ?The Elder,? really didn?t have much power. They were more like councilors. They mediated between disputes, and other things. They held a council with the other elders whenever an important decision was to be made.

   In each village, there was at least one spiritual leader, which the KRUB decided that they would talk to the rest through. The KRUB would present themselves to them usually during his sleep as a dream, or when he was off on his own on a ?Dream Quest?. The KRUB modified a part of his DNA structure to be able to see them better. The KRUB told him things like if they pleased them, they would bring rain, or a longer harvest, or other such things. At first they did this for fun, but later on, it got to be a real personal thing between them and the humans. To the humans, they found, Religion was really important. The humans needed something to believe in, something to have faith in, some sort of a reason of why they were on this planet and that someone or something was watching out for them. This made the KRUB feel important to the humans, and more than ever wanted to help them and see them exceed in being civilized.

   About one thousand years after the ?Originals? things were going ok for the Terrans. They had some sorts of wood and stone tools; they had gardens and herds, but needed to go farther in the technology. One day a man was watching his son use a sharpened stone to dig in the ground. He made straight parallel lines with the stone. This gave the man an idea. He got a joint of a branch and sharpened the V edge of it. He slid it into the ground and divided a small patch of ground into rows, using a vine as a harness. He found that if he planted his seeds in the rows he could put more together and grow more, and keep the weeds under control better. But using this thing was hard and tedious, and he didn?t like to use it. Then a few months later one of the cows got tied up in the vine. He watched as the cow dragged the wooden plow around cutting into the soil. Then it dawned on him. ?I could use the cow to pull the plow?, he said to himself. And so he fashioned a harness of wood and vines to the cow and to the plow, and had the cow pull the wooden plow, thus this is how the plow was invented.
   This man became very wealthy for the amount food that he was able to produce. And since a way to store it was not yet invented. He gave great parties and feasts for those around him, it earned him great admiration and prestige among the people. He shared his idea with his tribe, and in turn they all became very wealthy with these gardens.
   Around the same time, another man was fishing. He noticed that after years of fishing in a certain river that a certain type of flavorful fish came in abundance in a certain part of the year. So at this time he caught as many as he could. He got his clan to come down to the river and catch these fish in abundance. Thus he traded with other villages the fish he caught with the items of the other villages. He too became very wealthy. Many generations after, their offspring kept this up and these clans became famous and wealthy in the land from their abundance and lavish feasts.
The leaders of a village were not only the ?Elders? but also a counseling body made up of these prestigious men and women called ?Head Honchos.? In themselves they had no real power, they got the job because of their ability to do something well.
   They found a way of getting ore and purifying it and making tools out of it thus enabling the people to use metal tools, which improved the production of goods. They could farm easier because using metal for the plow; they could fish easier because they could make their nets stronger. And many more things did they do to improve life.
   Up until then, traveling with many goods was difficult. For you see they didn?t have the wheel. One day a group of them were cutting down wood and sawing it. One thin section of a log rolled down a hill, and gave the sawer an idea. He was a descendant of the guy who invented the plow. He sawed two parts of a log really thin, and connected the two of centers with a straight branch of a tree. Thus he invented the wheel. Then the wheelbarrow, then the cart, then he, just like his ancestor, he fashioned a cart to a horse, and invented the wagon.
    This alone opened up the door for the trade revolution, and for the freedom of travel. Before the people had to walk or ride a horse to where they wanted to go. This restricted travel for a lot of people or many goods. Now people could just load everything into the wagon attach it to the animals and be on their way. They could get to their destination much quicker.
    Because of the ease of trade, and the abundance of the farming, they were able to use less land to grow more. The villages started to grow larger and larger. The crops were very diverse and they began to make many things from them. They developed ways of storing the excess goods. Some clothes became very lavish, as people got more prestige and wealth they hired others to do work for them. They continued to throw large parties for the prestigious of the other villages.
    ?The Elder? could no longer do the governing of the people. A more powerful, centralized government was needed. So a ?Chief? was selected to be able to govern the people. At first it was by appointment, but soon it became an inherited right. Sometimes a chief would govern several small villages and have tribute paid to him.

   Some decades later, farmers were farming along the river bank and noticed that the water plants in the river were growing better than the ones more on the land. So the farmers decided to dig the rows to the river and let the water flow down them. Thus started farming with irrigation. Crops grew better, and they could get even more out of less land.
    Up till then these individual communities were relatively small, some of the smaller clan villages had around 50 or so people in them. Some of the larger irrigational farming villages could have many thousands of people. Surprisingly, there was relative peace in the land throughout this time. There were minor squabbles, but no major wars as of yet. However the size of these villages started a change in the governing of the people. In these large villages some clans or family groups became very wealthy, thus beginning a division of classes. They felt they were better than the others because of their wealth. They hired men to be bodyguards and built up small armies for them selves. They had to start to protect their excess.
    Also along with this, there began to be specialized skills, all people in the village didn?t all do the same things anymore. There were the farmers, the herders, the fishers, the weavers, all types could live in a village, or they could trade with other villages that specialized in one are or product that the others didn?t have because of location.
    Along with the classes, and different occupations, the leaders began to centralize even more. Some of the Clans rose up and said that they should be the leaders, by divine right, and because of their lineage said that they were direct descendants from the ?Originals? Other of the wealthy classes hired armies and threatened to take over the lesser classes if they did not put them as leaders and pay them tribute. So thus there started to be divisions of areas of land, and people moving from place to place, different nations rising up.
    Since this freedom to travel, the cities and villages became a mixing pot of different cultures. Many moved and created their own cultures and ways of living. They developed their own religions and customs. People traveled all over the world. Terrans built great sailing vessels and occupied the other continents and isles of the seas, some to get away from the ?Civilized? world others to further their reach of it. In places these travelers found those who were still migrating yearly after the herds, and hunting, and gathering the wild plants, living the old ways after the ?Originals.?
    With people traveling all over the world, before long, the peace was gone. Leaders fought over land and the chiefs and other of the rich or powerful; became kings and emperors over many cities and villages. The more the land was populated and used, the more valuable it became. The Terrans built up armies and navies to gain or protect their land. Great wars were fought over seemingly pointless things, mostly land rights. Kings and emperors gave children to other kings to further their greatness and glory and prestige among men, and to gain more property from their neighbors.
Rulers combined the government with the religion. They said that if they fought against the government it would be seen as an act against God, or whoever that group worshiped, and in the afterlife they would be punished forever. Priests usually were full time on the payroll of the king.
    This was also a great time for the arts. Knowledge of science, physics, art, and literature increased. Great writers, musicians, actors, poets, theorists, sprung up all over the world. They influenced the hearts and minds of the people and most of all the leaders of the world. They sang and wrote about the Gods, and religion.
   
Still the KRUB watched and recorded, and were amazed at the level to which their pets became ?civilized? over thousands of years, they went from being simple species of life form hunting and gathering their food to having great civilizations with governments, and technology and armies, navies, a well established religious system. There were many religions teaching many different things and worshiping the different members of the group of KRUB.
    The KRUB didn?t interfere with humans unless they asked for them too. Though they did inspire them, gave them ideas, faith, and other religious teachings, they mostly let the humans develop on their own.

   Governments changed slowly. They went from the king and lord system, to elected officials and democracy. In some of the nations, people thought that the kings and emperors had too much power of themselves, and overthrew them with the help of the other powerful members of the nation, their armies, and own priests. They elected leaders to be in office for a certain time limit. They chose a panel of judges to make laws and pass judgment of laws broken. Others leaders ruled by an iron fist and controlled everything. What he said was done, any one who opposed got an immediate one-way ticket to the afterlife. Others thought they would set up a Utopian where everything was shared by everyone, and nothing was owned by the individual. They called it Utopianism.

   Terrans had been in this stage for thousands of years, with little advancements in technology, for they felt they had everything that they needed except another important invention, the steam engine, was developed. Now the Terrans were able to travel the world more quickly and, for those who could afford it, in lavish comfort. Large metal steam powered sailing ships were developed as well as railroads and other such devices. Little did they know that this was just the beginning.
    It was now about 23 thousand years after the KRUB put the first humans on the earth. They were about to make a discovery that would change their lives forever.

   It was a cloudy and stormy out lightning flashes were abound. There was a metal wire hanging between two trees and a coil of wire sitting next to one of the trees. A lightning bolt hit a tree and flowed through the wire to the other tree, as the current went through the wire it glowed very brightly, the current continued through to the wire to the other tree where the coiled wire was. There was a can of water in the middle of the coiled wire. As the current flowed through the coil, the can rose up and started to spin. The water in the can evaporated causing steam, which rose up and spun a small water wheel which was attached to the tree. This went on for a few minutes as the current of the lightning circulated around the coiled wire.
    The man who witnessed this was actually an inventor who caught onto what had happened very quickly. Little did he know, that the KRUB, knew this and planted the little seed of information into his brain. In effect, what happened was the man discovered how to make electricity by reversing the process.
    Now they used steam engines for hundreds of years, but this was taking that a few steps forward. He fashioned a crude device that used the same idea as what he saw, but in reverse. He boiled water and caused a coil of wire attached to a fan to spin from the rising steam. Then he put a rod in the middle of the coil, and then attached 2 wires at each end of the rod. He attached them to another coil with another rod in the middle, this second rod started spinning. Thus creating electricity and a small motor. Though he really didn?t understand the concept, or how it worked, it did. After this, the KRUB put the explanations into his mind. Thus the electric age had started and many new inventions followed.
Once they had electricity, the ideas and inventions started to flow. Lights, electric motors, simple automobiles, etc all came from this one discovery. Eventually they discovered other ways to make electricity and fuel, new ways of making engines and motors. Soon automobiles were able to travel great distances, they invented the airplane and jet rockets. People and goods were traveling the world. People were communicating with people across the world instantly. Large cities with skyscrapers sprang up all over the world. Technology was abound.
    Eventually they invented computers. Rockets were developed to take them into space. Until this time they believed the gods lived in the space directly above Terra, so they made rockets to go to them. The Different continents and nations specialized in certain areas of medicine and technology.


    Governments were stable and there was finally peace in the land and advancements in all fields. The Land of Genna took medicine to new heights. They developed the most advanced techniques to heal, and re-vitalize the body. They developed ways to make us live longer, run faster, jump higher, people lived for 200 years instead of 80, and during most of their lives they felt as if they were a young adult. In West-berg they made advances in space exploration. The built powerful telescopes to scan the heavens, and found other galaxies and proved many years before that Terra is not the center of the universe as some believed. They made ships for space flight and trained astronauts to go there. They sent men to the moon, put satellites in space and took pictures of other planets, and all the things that what you know of as ?NASA? is doing now.
Some lands things were a little slower than the rest of the world, and no special advances were made. In Greco after the wars were ended, they were able to advance in the fields of science. In Charmaine they used the science from Greco and applied it to farming, finding new and better ways to produce food. They studied the role of diet and health, and developed more nutritious foods, with less fat and more vitamins.
    Though there was peace, some prepared for the eventuality of war. Newer advanced war machines were made. They used Electro Magnetism, Sound waves, and anti gravity to create force fields and weapons of mass destruction. These could also be applied in other areas such as transportation. Now flying personal vehicles were all over the skies. They explored the oceans and settled colonies there in. All was going well on Terra.

   A few centuries later, a few of the most powerful nations, and a few other countries united, calling themselves the ?Northern Alliance? and declared war on the rest of the world. They felt they were the most advanced in the entire world and also the most powerful, and wanted to take it over. They used a new weapon no one had seen before, an ionic ray, beamed from a satellite that would instantly melt any thing it hit. They attacked the major cities of the world Athnos, Sprat, the city of Genna, Rellik, and all the other capitals.
    Nuclear warheads flew destroying their capital cities, to destroy the control centers of those satellites. After a long war the Northern Alliance was caught by surprise when Genna and Greco banded together to develop a certain gas chemical, that when it got into their blood stream and into their cells, it re-arranged the DNA structures and their bodies just shut down.
    At the end of this eight-year war the whole world was devastated, the land was rearranged, the air was ionized, the ozone layer was non-existent, and everything was filled with radiation. The nuclear bombs that were dropped had such an impact on Terra, that they created great earthquakes, these earthquakes opened up fissures in the earth causing the magma from inside to come gushing out causing volcanoes to erupt and creating new ones. Whole cities were buried in the earth, or flooded out by giant tidal waves. Most of the major cities and towns were completely annihilated. Millions of people had died instantly, others died while fighting, and still others suffered, slowly suffocating from all of the smoke, dust, radiation and other things in the air. For many months they could not see the sun, and the moon and stars were impossible to see. The temperature dropped suddenly from the lack of light, freezing everything. From the impact of all this destruction, the tilt of the earth shifted slightly. There was nearly no vegetation, and what was left was so radioactive it would soon die, but for some reason the giant red woods on the western coast of Greco survived. What had they done to their world?

The KRUB Looked on them and were saddened that the pride of the humans could lead to the destruction of an entire planet. They thought the humans were doing so well, then, they destroyed themselves. The KRUB were saddened because they thought some how they had failed. But alas there was a small chance that the humans could come out of this ok. There was one KRUB that had been preparing his followers for such an event, because he knew that someday this would happen to this world, as it had on many others. So the story continues.

    There was only a small group of 10,000 people relatively unaffected by this war, for they were hidden in the mountains, and had built shelters and had prepared themselves for just such an emergency. They were the followers of BILBY, The Great God Of Peace. People from all nations, had fled into the mountains and deserts during the mob wars. There, their scientists and medical technicians were advanced enough to build special astronaut type suits to keep them alive in the outside world. In these suits they could go out into the world and breath the oxygen this suit provided. It worked much like photosynthesis works in plants.
These people developed certain bacteria and small plants that absorbed the radiation and neutralized it. Others they developed could take in the sunlight for food, and the byproduct was oxygen. Thus in a sense, they developed many types of living creatures to create an atmosphere that they could live in. They placed these little things all over the planet. They could live in the most inhospitable climate, and still survive and do their job.
    About 200 years later, the air was pure enough that they didn't have to wear the suits anymore. Earlier they mostly migrated to the places on the continents of low radiation level that the organisms already converted, so they could live a while without the suits, but now they were totally free of them and could live anywhere. But they did store them in case they needed them for a future time.
    I will now refer to time as AD. (After Destruction), because this was the pivotal point in the history of Terra. Up to around the year 1,000 A.D. they built up societies much up to the way it was before the war, and in some places they had advanced even further. They learned to effectively use the sun, water, and wind for their primary energy sources so they had no need for fossil fuels. They developed cars and vehicles that ran on anti gravity and magnetic fields. They built their buildings of composite metals, and highly resistant plastics, usually stronger than steel, so they had no need for wood, therefore they left the trees alone except for ornamental decorating and occasional fire wood. They learned the art of insect farming, using other insects or small animals as pesticides instead of hazardous chemicals. Thus the fruits and vegetables were better for them.
    In the year 1200 A.D., they formed their first colony on their moon. They did it much the same way they re-vitalized the earth. They wore the same type of suits they developed after the war to use until they could build a livable habitation, but these were specially made for space. They used the sun for energy, and put plants inside the buildings for oxygen. The fuel they use for the rockets and spaceships was made from grain, corn, wheat, rice, and others, fermented until it had a very high alcoholic level, then compressed until it was pure. It burnt clean, and the cost was much less than the ones they used before the war out of fossil fuels, because they had a non-ending supply. But if someone tried to drink it they would die within a matter of minutes. They couldn?t use their method for antigravity, or magnetism for the ships because in space it wouldn?t work.
    After turning the moon into an inhabitable place, they ventured on and went to the other planets. They treated each one differently, and used methods of vitalization specifically for that planet or moon. They didn't colonize Venus or Mercury for they were to close to the sun, but they did explore them for elements they could use and other life forms. They didn't change the structure or lack of atmosphere of the moon, for it controlled the tides and gravitational pull of the Earth. They still didn't quite understand how, but they didn't do anything that would disrupt the balance.
    They finally built big enough ships to travel the great distances to the other planets. They explored each one and developed colonies where they could. People moved to the new colonies that were being established on the planets of the solar system. Usually the young, enthusiastic, lovers of new exiting things and to start a new life moved to these colonies. Also there was work on these new colonies in all fields, and things were being invented a lot more to live there. It stayed this way till relatively the early 1400s. New inventions, colonizing, better ways in science, medicine, and in psychology, and technology

   In about 1400 a man called ?The IDEAMAN? founded a city for those who wanted more enlightenment and knowledge. It contained most modern technology some of which he himself invented. It needed no streets for the matter transporters took the people where they wanted to go. It was next to the mountains, ocean, and a great river, so there was a lot to do and places to go. There were great libraries, and databases with all the knowledge that the Terrans possessed. Beautiful music filled the streets. People from all over who had ideas, inventions, stories to tell, and such came to this city to see them fulfilled. Above the city was a bubble, or a protective shield. Within this shield they were able to control the climate, they were able to eliminate wastes from the factories, not that they had much, but the air was pure. Chemists were able to make rain, snow, and wind, or just keep it a nice 75 degrees in side. In the middle of the city was Idea center, which contained the main offices of, Ideas Inc. and three sports arenas, where the main attraction was wrestling and football. For travelers, the city had a large golden structure in the shape of a pyramid, known as the Pyramid Hotel. This was the model for most of the colonies on other planets for the efficiency of the city, and the temperature control.
In 1478 there was peace in the solar system, in part from the work of ?Ideaman.? The doctors and scientists, along with some help from BILBY, changed the brain structure a bit to rid the human body of the desires of greed and selfishness. War was no longer heard of. All societies lived together in peace and harmony. There was a great city of ZION built to honor the God Bilby as well as the other Gods (The KRUB). Here they developed the Central Government of the Solar System. Other worlds they colonized they also called Terra, but added a number thus they were Terra 1, Terra 2, and so on. The Original planet they called, you guessed it, ?Terra Prime? as it is known today.


    The KRUB didn?t mind. They finally felt the humans had reached an acceptable level of culture and civilization. But little did these omnipotent beings know, that the humans still had further to go.

    Back on Terra Prime in 1536 all the governments had joined together in a peace treaty, although there was nothing really to disrupt the peace. The leader of the unified nations at this time was a man by the name of Craig Bernstein. He was a tall gentle man with a flaring smile that sometimes made him look sadistic, but he was a great politician. He did what no other man could do, that was, unify the world under a common peace. They developed a one-world government; all nations had the same currency, and the same laws.
    By the year 1550 they made many more advances in technology, science, medicine, etc. Greco had developed a system of transport much like matter transmitter. They also developed food replicators, and various devices for the mind. They were able to learn more things at a faster rate and recall 99% of what the learned. They learned to control many of the body parts that are automatic, such as heart rate, respiration, temperature, etc. Remember, this was only 1550 years after they had destroyed the world.
On the colonies the systems of government were different. They were free to do that they will. The governments were simple, with chiefs and Elders, like earlier in our History.
    As time went on we spread outside of the solar system, in to other systems. We continued to spread across the galaxy. Eventually the technology became so advanced that we could be transported anywhere in the galaxy instantly. As science and medicine evolved, they developed telepathic abilities. People could communicate just by reading the mind of the other, though you couldn?t read a mind unless the other let you just like verbal communication. They also unlocked the areas of the brain where information was stored. Terrans could learn by osmosis. They were able unlock the ability of personal flight. Implants could enable the eyes to see farther, and in many spectrums.
    Just as in the tales of the wizards, they learned how to control the elements, though some thought it was magic and thought it should be banned. Some developed the ability to levitate objects, shoot electric charges out of the tips of the fingers, and the like. All the abilities of the mind were in full force and readily accessible. They could now think and transport themselves to anywhere in the universe they wanted to go. They just had to think of it and tell their mind to go there, and they went.

   Several million years ago the KRUB began to be afraid. They knew that the humans were becoming far to advanced for them. The little experiment they started almost a million years ago was getting out of hand. The 20 that started this went to their superiors to ask for help in controlling the humans. The superiors thought the humans still insignificant and told them to deal with the humans their selves. Thus, the KRUB knew they could not do because the humans were too evolved. Soon they would catch up to their level. And they were right.

   For the next 900 thousand years, the humans from Terra and the colonies, colonized the Universe. They built up many great societies and continued to evolve. On some worlds they found other humans living as they used to tens of thousands of years ago. If they were willing the Terrans helped these humans become as they were. They found many other races and civilizations. Being a people of peace they usually befriended these races, or if the others were hostile, the Terrans would just leave them be. Most of the time though, since the Terrans were far more advanced the other races usually became friends, in sheer awe if nothing else.
    For exploration Terrans still had to use ships. For even though they were advanced in other areas the respiratory system still needed the same atmosphere, or close to it as was on Terra. They would not survive in open space. However these ships were far more advanced than anything else in the universe.
    Then as I stated, 1 million years ago we found the truth of our origin. With their adapted eyes and technology, the Terrans found where the KRUB lived. They saw them for what they really were omnipotent yes, but not as shimmering spiritual light as they once thought. Then they came forward and told us what they had done. And how we came to be on that planet. They also saw how the humans lived on their planet, as pets and were disgusted by it. This sight set off an emotion most of them had not known before. Anger. They were saddened to see what conditioned the humans on the KRUB world lived in. Though they were grateful for what the 20 KRUB had done for them, the Terrans felt that the rest should be dealt with.
Since the Terrans were a peaceful race, they tried to convince the KRUB to let the ?pet? humans go and live their lives naturally, and not in cages. The KRUB still thought they were far superior to the enlightened humans and didn?t concede. They felt that there was nothing the Terrans could do about it so they brushed them off. The band of 20 KRUB, The ?Evad?, that started the whole thing tried to convince them as well, sharing what they had observed with their superiors. The KRUB banished and exiled the ?Evad? and told them not to come back in their realm again. This infuriated the ?Evad? so they decided to do something that otherwise would never been done, nor could be done. Fight the KRUB and free the humans, for if from the ?original? 10 humans, they were able to evolve such as they have, there was hope for the rest of the humans.
    Since the Terrans were peaceful, the thought of fighting back didn?t even register in their minds. The ?Evad? said they would compromise. The Terrans just had to free the pet humans, the they would do the rest. With the ability to transport anything anywhere in the universe, the Terrans transported the humans to another world on the other side of the universe. Since these KRUB couldn?t read human minds, they had no way of knowing what was happening to the humans, they were just missing.
The ?Evad? learning a thing or two from the Terrans, created a mental force field around the KRUB home planet, since they didn?t know what was going on, none of them could escape. Once all the humans were off the planet, the ?Evad? struck.
    They caused the star close to the planet to implode and create a black hole. The black hole?s gravitational pull sucked in the KRUB planet. The funnel was closed and looped. Thus the KRUB was closed in this eternal loop. To this day, we have not seen nor heard from them.
    The remaining KRUB, the ?Evad? had become from that encounter, no longer as Gods, but as allies and friends. We named the largest galaxy after them, not that they needed it. They opened up their minds to us, and we learned such marvelous and vast things from them, that there is not enough room in this writing to contain it all. Most of the Terrans still worship the KRUB. Though we are on equal terms. They did give us a chance at culture, civilization, society, and all we have obtained we owe to them.
    Since then we have become even as they are. We rule the universe, along with them. We have become celestialized, our bodies pure and perfect. They are no longer made of flesh and blood, but flesh and light. Light travels through our veins. We have learned how to conquer death and live forever. We even took on a certain glow, an aura, around our bodies. Other species think of us as they once thought of them. As an enlightened, advanced beings, full of light and truth, even Gods.
    We try to help other life forms, especially humanoid life forms, achieve the same as we have. Some do, some don?t. Many other stories are written by others in other places and cultures, even other universes about how they have become how we are. Some of the most advanced of us, have traveled to other universes to help others attain the same glory that we have. They take small intelligent entities, the central part of all life forms and provide bodies for them and show them the way to enlightenment. Many of them choose not to follow, as many of ours have, and then they are left at the stage they attained, but go no further. I have helped many to reach celestialized glory, just as I have been helped to achieve it. This now is our work and our glory, our passion, to help others gain what we have gained.
    Now I end this record of our people, and, in a very compressed version, how we have achieved what we have achieved. You may believe it or not. But I write this with my own hand and know the things contained therein are a true record. You may decide for yourself. May peace and knowledge be with you forever and ever.
