In Session 1: Episode 10, David Wilcock and Corey Goode discussed the importance of the Pineal Gland which is the source of neuro-melanin. Egyptian pharoahs wore two snakes on their crowns to show that they were enlightened. The snakes represented the energy that rises through the spine and ignites in the Pineal Gland. "Melaninated people" are people who have melanin in the skin -- giving them various shades of color. However, everyone has some degree of neuromelanin.
The concept of the two "snakes" of energy rising through the spine to the crown chakra is depicted in the caduceus, the symbol of Western medicine. However, its vital significance for consciousness is never explained!
Amazon says about the book Dark Light Consciousness: Melanin, Serpent Power, and the Luminous Matrix of Reality by Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D.,
​
"Within each of us lies the potential to activate a personal connection to the superconscious. Called “Ureaus” in ancient Egyptian texts and “Kundalini” in ancient Hindu yoga traditions, our innate serpent power of spiritual transcendence inhabits the base of the spine in its dormant state. When awakened, it unfurls along the spinal column to the brain, connecting individual consciousness to the consciousness of the universe enfolded within the dark matter of space. At the root of creativity and spiritual genius across innumerable cultures and civilizations, this intelligent force reveals portals that enfold time, space, and the luminous matrix of reality itself.
Combining physics, neuroscience, and biochemistry with ancient traditions from Africa and India, Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D., explores the ancient Egyptian science of the Ureaus and reveals how it is intimately connected to dark matter and to melanin, a light-sensitive, energy-conducting substance found in the brain, nervous system, and organs of all higher life-forms. He explains how the dark light of melanin serves as the biochemical infrastructure for the subtle energy body, just as dark matter, together with gravity, holds the galaxies and constellations together."
The Olmecs: Mother Civilization of the Americas
​
The Olmecs left 9 ft. stone heads weighing 20 to 40 tons each throughout the Yucatan Peninsula. Each head was carved from a massive piece of basalt rock quarried in mines and transported 80 miles to their city la Venta Because the Olmecs were great builders and founded the first advanced civilizations of the Americas, they are known as the "mother culture" of the hemisphere. From 1200 BC, they developed a highly-organized society.
The video Olmec Heads Decoded explains that many Black Americans are descended from these first peoples of the Americas. Starting around 34 minutes, the video shows that the Olmecs intermarried with the Chinese who came to the Western Hemisphere and created the American Indian nations! Of course, every American Indian nation has its own creation story. However, they all agree that they did not walk across the Bering Strait -- as anthropologists claim!
​
The video reports that the Olmecs built Tenotchitlan, the capital city of the Aztec Empire. It was a city-state founded in 1325 AD on an island -- the largest city in the pre-Columbian world. With a population of 200-300,000, only Paris, Venice, and Constantinople were larger. Two double aqueducts constructed during the reign of Montezuma I provided the city with fresh spring-fed water – good for baths twice a day!
The city astounded the Spanish in the 1500's! Hernán Cortés and his men werein awe. Bernal Díaz del Castillo reported in The Conquest of New Spain: “When we saw so many cities and villages built in the water and other great towns on dry land, we were amazed and said that it was like the enchantments.... I do not know how to describe it, seeing things as we did that had never been heard of or seen before, not even dreamed about.”
​
The video refers to the book Africans and Native Americans: The Language of Race and the Evolution of Red-Black Peoples by Jack D. Forbes. The role of the Olmecs is discussed further below.
The Role of the Olmecs
In the fascinating video Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, the late Dr. Ivan Van Sertima, who taught Afro-American Studies at Rutgers University, explains the role of the Olmecs in Mexico. Dr. Van Sertima wrote several books that helped start the restoration of ancient Black history in Egypt, Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Perhaps his most famous one was the 1976 book They Came Before Columbus: The African Presence in Ancient America
Dr. Van Sertima shows that the Aztecs had nothing to do with building Teotihuacan, the extraordinary city which was a turning point in the civilization of the Americas. Teotihuacan was the first major city in the Americas, the beginning of the urban stage. Teotihuacan was larger than most European cities when Cortez arrived and the people took daily baths which were unknown in Europe.
​
In the video "Olmecs They Came Before Columbus", D.r Van Sertima explains that even in the late 18th century, Mexico included parts of Texas, Colorado, and California -- all the way up to Canada. In Part 2 of the video, Dr. Van Sertima explains that the Olmecs were the mother civilization of all the cultures of the Americas. See Part 3.
