FORA DA EUROPA QUEM NÃO É EUROPEU
Até Durão Barroso, que costuma alinhar pelas posições americanas, está já a dar a deixa para que os vários governos europeus ponham travão à entrada da Turquia na União Europeia...
O ex-primeiro-ministro português, que politicamente, sempre meteu nojo no que respeita à questão da «xenofobia» (lembro-me da sua vergonhosa campanha contra Le Pen), continua a dar uma no cravo outra na ferradura, mas, pelo menos, mostra que tem bom senso que chegue para permitir aos povos europeus que digam uma palavrita sobre a ideia de meter a Ásia Menor dentro da Europa.

‘Oldest civilisation’ finds deal massive blow to multi-culti propaganda

New discovery suggests a European civilisation predated the Pyramids
A series of stunning archaeological discoveries in Germany, Austria and Slovakia are rewriting our understanding of history. The new finds are the final proof that, in terms of establishing recognisable civilisation, far from early Europeans being thousands of years behind the Middle East, we were in fact the first in the world.
The oldest civilisation has been unearthed by the discovery of more than 150 gigantic earth and wood monuments – believed to be temples rather than forts. And far from being poor copies of monumental architecture already established in Mesopotamia and Egypt, as was once wrongly thought about Stonehenge and similar sites, the European temples were built 7,000 years ago.
Older than the pyramids
According to a report in The Independent (11/6/05) their dates of between 4,800BC and 4,600BC make them 2,000 years older than the Pyramids, and 1,800 years earlier than Uruk, the earliest city discovered in the Middle East.
The most complex site excavated so far is in the German city of Dresden. It consisted of an apparently sacred inner area surrounded by two palisades, three earth banks and four ditches. Each of the sites appears only to have been used for a few generations. Almost all are exactly the same size with each of the ditches having been made by removing the same volume of earth. Such facts indicate a well-connected population over a 400-mile swathe of Stone Age Europe, either with identical beliefs or a common corps of sacred architects.
Pastoralists
The people who built these strange places lived nearby had lived in the area concerned for centuries. They were pastoralists, rearing large herds of cattle, sheep, goats and pigs. They made tools of stone, bone and wood, and small ceramic statues of humans and animals. They also made geometrically decorated pottery and lived in large longhouses in substantial villages. One such village and temple site near Leipzig had around 300 people living in 15 – 20 large communal buildings.
These discoveries deal perhaps the final blow to the old, Victorian, theory of ‘lux ex Orient’ – ‘light from the East’ – which wrongly held that civilisation emerged in the Middle East and gradually filtered westwards as European barbarians copied slowly copied the innovations of Sumer, Egypt and the other civilisations from the ‘Fertile Crescent’.
Available energy
It does remain true that the first real cities appear to have developed in the Middle East, but to equate city with sophisticated culture is wholly unsound logic. There was, in any case, one simple and overwhelming practical consideration which made it inevitable that the first cities would spring up in hotter climates than Europe – the availability of fuel energy.
To live in the damp, foggy, winter-cold climate our ancestors knew required large quantities of firewood. The difficulties of cutting this with stone or bronze tools in particular meant that while an advanced culture could be – and clearly was – established which linked related communities over hundreds of miles, each settlement within the civilisation had to be small enough to allow enough fuel to be gathered ‘by hook or by crook’ rather than by logging large trees.
Life in the Middle East, by contrast, required far less heating fuel, and the hotter and more reliable sun meant that large herds of animals could be relied upon to produce most of the fuel needed for cooking. To this day, of course, sun-dried animal dung provides cooking fuel for many more isolated peasant communities across parts of the Middle East and Asia. This energy problem is the simple, overlooked, factor determining where city life could first be established.
The key remaining mystery about the new, and as yet unnamed, European Stone Age temple culture is why it seems to have vanished after only about 200 years. As far as we know at present, it was then another 3,000 years before structures of a similar size were built in the Bronze Age – although when they did appear the first Bronze Age ‘henges’ of earth and wood appeared very similar to their ancient predecessors.
Cradle of civilisation
On the question of historical continuity, it is worth noting that the area briefly covered by this ancient European culture is almost identical to the territory known thousands of years later as the cradle of the Celtic culture that provided the bedrock for all later Western European civilisation.
But whatever happened to the Stone Age temple culture, and whatever its builders did once it vanished, the fact remains that these new discoveries have buried forever the old story that our ancestors were running around in skins and grunting until those clever Middle Easterners showed us how to do things properly.
Our ancient homeland
The reality is that our direct ancestors built the oldest true culture yet discovered in the world, by their own genius and sweat, right in the heart of our Europe. This is a fact that demolishes not just old archaeological theories but also all sorts of contemporary multi-culti fantasies and propaganda.
This is our land, time out of mind.
