Beyond folklore: Introduction
Before Adam and Eve series
TSR Reporter
A new creation account from East Africa is bound to rock the theological and the evolutionary bones in 21st century like it did in the last century.
Few regions in the world have supplied more evidence of early man, his life, technology and culture than East Africa has in one region, both in contemporary and in archeological fossil record stand points.
Two of the most celebrated discoveries of human like behavior among great nonhuman apes, took place in East Africa.
Adam and Eve not the first humans
In the early 60s, Anthropologist Dr Jane Goodall, a Briton, made world headlines when she reported her discoveries that chimps routinely used tools to extract food from anthills and termite mounds, a fascinating observation that challenged tool making technology and tool use as exclusive preserve of man.
When the implication of the observation was brought to his attention, Jane’s mentor and legendary archeologist, Louise Leakey, is reported to have remarked: We must redefine tools, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees are humans too.
A contemporary of Goodall, and another protege of Louise Leakey, Dr Dian Fossey, an American, would give the scientific world some exciting insights about mountain Gorillas of Virunga Volcanoes which she studied for 14 years.
Fossey observed Gorillas slept in specially prepared nests at night, lined up with branches and leaves, mourned their dead, and exhibited human like family bonds between males, females and offsprings.
East Africa is at it again, this time with a third woman writing what she describes as ‘revelation’ accounts that are abound to rock the theological and archeological bones in no small measure.
For the first time ever, a new account goes beyond the Biblical Adamic narrative of human creation, in addition to supplying mind boggling new details about what scientific archeology has only alluded to through speculative inferences and glimpses.
The accounts originally documented in an East African native language-for once for a subject as Western as Paleoanthropology (ancient life of man)- are bound to turn contemporary theological and scientific realms on their heads.
Adamic world is the 9th world, 8 other worlds destroyed before the present
For the first time in the history of theological explanations and scientific inquiries on the origin of man and his world, Mrs Ruth Nyaruai Kahunyo,73, writes that the present Adamic world is actually the 9th world, and there were 8 other worlds before the present one.
Between them were billions of years, and civilizations more sophisticated and advanced than the present world thrived and flourished.
Fauna and flora of magnificent dimensions existed, and technological advances beyond any ever recorded in present world existed among others, she writes.
curious mind’s feast
What is bound to captivate the curious mind is the amount of details in Ruth’s accounts in the Gikuyu language, from physical measurements and dimensions of animals, birds, their sounds, physiological and physical traits and attributes from the vernacular account of a woman whose education did not go beyond class 4.
Bird lovers and language scientists will hear and read about the language of bird- speak complete with translations.
Among fascinating accounts about some life forms that resembled dinosaurs and whales in gigantic physical sizes is that they were docile herbivores that humans would utilize in land and sea transport besides in food, leather and bones industries.
This contradicts popular Hollywood recreation of these mysterious creatures from Archeological finds that have presented these extraordinary animals to have been voracious and fierce carnivores.
Men would live for hundreds of years, and death of the physical body before living for a hundred years plus is a recent phenomenon.
Extinct nations, communities, languages and peoples
The names of individual personalities, communities, languages, nations, geographical features and technological inventions are captured in mind staggering details too.
Each world from the first to the 8th had own unique features, peoples, civilizations, developments, inventions, histories, natural ecological features, fauna and flora.
Theologians and general public may be comforted by the fact the accounts Ruth has written about the8 worlds have many references in the Bible, and, indeed, expounds on some difficult biblical accounts.
Ruth’s Gikuyu language manuscript on scrap and ordinary exercise books are undergoing translation into English and other languages.
However, she has authorized The Second Republic to run excerpts.
The state of the world before Adam and origin of man has fascinated generations for millennia.
The contemporary scientific consensus is that the East African nation of Kenya is the Cradle of man.
Bible believers have the creation story in the book of Genesis. For the faith people, the matter is settled as settled can be, no debate. Believing the Bible is all it takes.
The exalted status of the Bible is such that it has its own description as the holy Scriptures, Word of Faith, the Word of God, Truth, Revelation etc that sets it apart from other literature among faith people.
This new account about the origins of man and the world will give Bible theologians a complete new menu for thought when they read that some of the prominent actors in the Bible-angels and old serpent Satan included- were originally ordinary humans who lived on earth, had families, siblings, parents and own daily hustles and careers.
Satan had a name he was known by before his fall, a wife, family, mom and dad.
Rusolee Jolua journey from family man to old serpent Satan
Satan whose birth name he was known by on earth was Rusolee Jolua was born in the third world and belonged to a community (tribe) called Sutaylo. His father was known as Sunyara Abasua, and his mum Senyam Muqua.
The Sunyaras raised a well behaved and God fearing son who would marry and raise a family.
Rusolee Jolua lived a long life on Earth, before God took him in the same manner that was the norm, as Enoc was taken up, as accounted in the Bible.
Jolua would be promoted to an exalted position among angels in Heaven during the time of the Sixth World.
The enigmatic accounts that Ruth renders in amazing clarity and coherence for a woman whose primary school education was disrupted by Mau Mau war of Independence in the 1950s, is truly extraordinary.
The amount of details about names of individual personalities, behavioral traits, occupational endeavors, communities, languages, nations, geographical features and technological inventions are amazing.
Incidentally, each world brought about its own down fall and destruction of scale and scope beyond Noah’s floods, owing to technological advancements, inventions and innovations that threatened to alter the manner human race functioned, reproduced and lived.
For instance, there are accounts of scientific inventions that resulted in cross-breeds of humans and animals, and extreme cultural deviant behaviors like people-both men and women- living with animals as spouses.
Each world from the first to the eighth had own unique features, peoples, developments, trade, technologies that defined them, fauna and flora.
Biblical mystery of 24 elders explained
The Biblical mystery of the 24 elders before the throne is also explained in elaborate detail, as is a fuller description of the nature of Satan’s rebellion in attempting to create his own race of humans and other creatures, all of which constituted his hightreason that would trigger his down fall.
Popular evolution theories abound, and have ardent followers too. They too “believe†in Darwinian evolutionary narrative of natural selection, adaptation etc.
In science, Anthropologists are still digging- both literary in archeological sites, and figuratively inside laboratories-for the missing link, ie the common ancestor between humans and his supposed close primate ancestral relatives.
In evolutionist perspective, man and primates are supposed to have branched off a common ancestor, with the human family tree evolving drastically into anatomically bipendal modern humans called homo sapiens, while the primate relatives got stuck to their current state and form.
The evolution process is reported to have taken millions of years, measured in geological timelines, whose tools include carbon dating and other geo-phyical techniques that determine the age of rocks and organic fossil remains found in them.
The repertoire of ‘evidence’ of recorded kinship between human and non-human apes is rich and extensive:
Close genetic similarities (98.7% for chimps and man), living in distinct family units, baby care, bonding through kissing, glooming, constant body touch, use of tools, mourning their dead etc
The Turkana boy (dated 2.5 million years old), the oldest and most complete human fossil ever found anywhere on earth, was found in Marsabit in North Eastern Kenya, and currently housed at the Nairobi National Museum’s gallery.
However, Ruth says her account is the true version of events about the origin of man, his world and life before Adam. Evolution stories are just that, stories, she says.
