Don’t believe in fairy tales, they once were true
Fairy tales sometimes contain fantasy but sometimes true information
about the past, wrapped in the most incredible and bizarre shapes and
veiled by generations of storytellers.
From childhood I used to listen to Romanian fairy tales. It’s not
even just fairy tales, these are folk tales, later on retold by the
Romanian writers, which carry numerous grains of a very very ancient
knowledge about vertically walking giant beings covered with squama or
shell and two-legged horned and tailed creatures, who used to steal
daughters of men and marry with them, also about two, three, five, six,
ten, twelve and twenty-four-headed dragons, who were able to change
their look and also liked women, about one-armed or one-legged
creatures, about immortal beings , about the underworld inhabited by
snakes, dragons and other monstrous creatures.
Also about existing from time to time connection gates between the
two worlds, about two, four, six and twelve winged horses that don’t eat
anything but red-hot coals and fly in the air covering the distance of
thousands of kilometers in seconds, about Far Far Away kingdoms where
youth has no age and life is without death and where time has stopped,
about fairies, witches, wizards, and miraculous ability of people or
creatures like people to shape shift and appear as angry bears or
tigers, or in the shape of a small bird or mice, or reviving the dead
with the living water.
The origins of these and many other stories are lost in the remotest depths of the human past.
They come down to us only because they escaped destruction in ancient
times, the early Christian era and the dark years of the Middle Ages
and remained in oral folk tradition, later on re-written by Romanian
writers of XIX a. (Ion Creanga, Mihai Eminescu, Trifan Balte, etc.).
Based on the information contained in fairy tales, can we at least approximately suppose the time when they were created? In some fairy tales there are not only vague hints, but quite
explicit points. For example, “The tale of the pig” by Ion Creanga
states that the king’s daughter, who was looking for Fat-Frumos around
the world, who was conceived by centuries old “grandfather” and
“grandmother”.
She was pregnant for three years during which she was
travelling, crossed seas and countless countries, was walking through
disastrous forests and deserts, full of dragons, poisonous snakes,
basilisks, who were able to kill just by gazing, the hydra with
twenty-four heads, and many other countless terrible reptiles, with
widely gaping mouths ready to swallow, among the beasts, whose excessive
greed, cunningness and ferocity can not be described by the language
of man. Once she found Fat-Frumos she gave birth to a child without
suffering and pain.
According to Svarogov cycle in the ancient Slavic pagan tradition,
the humans were doomed to suffering and child birth in pain after the
fall of “First World”, that was completely destroyed, and it was
mostly without actual humans. In fact, during ”First World”, the gods
lived on earth and coexisted together with created by them humans and
the pregnancy was without labor pains. It was an amazing world full of
wonders and magic, and populated by the most incredible creatures.
According to genealogy of Chaldean kings made by Babylonian priest and
historian Berosus (“History of Babylonia”, IV-III centuries. BC) and
Aristotle’s student Abid (“The Chaldean kings and the Flood”), humans
life before the destruction of the previous world ranged from more than
200-300 years old to 10-65 000 years depending on different saros
chronology interpretations adopted by them , 18 or 3600 years.
Antediluvian history of modern mankind lasted from 3000 to 430 thousands
of years. The authors pointed out the duration of saros was 3600 years.
Comparison of Romanian fairy tales and the conclusions of Berosus and
Abid in Indian traditions indicates that the life duration of ”the
Chaldean kings” was 10,000 years or more. Thus, according to “Bhagava
Purana”, Diti pregnancy lasted for about 100 years, according to
“Matsya Purana”, Waranga’s pregnancy, the mother of Taraki, lasted
for a thousand of years, and like all other pregnancies at that time
happened with no pain.
In “Battle of ancient gods” book based on a comparative analysis of
folklore and geological data, I showed that the first true humans
appeared about 1.5 million years ago. Based on the duration of the
periods between disasters and the assumption that disasters have been
associated with World Wars I calculated that the lifetime of the first
mankind was about 1,000 years. It is in good agreement with the Biblical
data. Then it gradually decreased until the present time. The first
sudden reduction in life expectancy apparently fell on late Pleistocene
East European Plain glaciations, 70,000 years ago, maybe then the human
lifetime became shorter, of 120 years.
After the end of the last glaciations, 12,000 years ago people’s
lives become even shorter and remains as such to this day. So if all is
right it means the Romanian fairy tales describe events that were
happening more than 70 000 years ago. It can actually be much earlier
than the specified time. Because first of all, the world of fairy tales
was inhabited by wizards, witches and werewolves, and in the time of
humans , according to legend, there was not much.
Second, fairy tales don’t say usually anything about the glaciations
or ice age, on the contrary elsewhere eternal summer is described.
Thirdly, according to Svarogov cycle in Slavic pagan legend humans were
destined to give child birth in pain after the death of the “First
World”, most part of which was inhabited not by real people. And it
could be earlier than 1.5 million years ago or even earlier. Thus, the
fairy tales describe the world 1.5 million years apart from us , less
likely to 100 – 70 000 years.
In any case, it was a different world full of magic, inhabited by
very different creatures , vertically walking reptiles, dragons,
basilisks, hydra and other creatures. There were also beings or
creatures that in fairy tales and legends are called people. It is only
necessary to read them more carefully to understand it all.
