and brought into the city. At war, the citizens of Troy were not so naive as to allow in uninspected such an unexplained object. In fact, the Trojan Horse was not simply a statue, a curiosity - it was food, built of food, stacks of wheat bound together, gourds and dried fruit, all tied about a wooden frame. This, they knew, the starving citizens could not resist. To

minimize inspection of such a large object, which they knew was being done routinely on any baskets or barrels of

food, the camouflage was shaped into a familiar animal. The citizens focused on the food baubles on the hooves, tail,

and face of the horse, and so distracted lost themselves in their appetites before they ever got to the belly of the horse where a single infiltrator lay. Thin and agile, he worked his way out in the dead of night and gave access to his fellows at the gate.

ZetaTalk: Visigoths

Note: written on Apr 15, 1996

If the giant hominoids from the 12th Planet inspired the myths about the Gods of Mount Olympus, were they also the

inspiration for the Viking Gods or tales of the Germanic Visigoths? They were indeed, and left their mark in legend

wherever they stationed themselves on Earth. Where their preferred garb looks something like what an ancient Roman

Legionnaire might have worn, they adjusted their garb to the climate. Northern Europe, during many eras in the past,

was as bitterly cold as it is today, and thus fur robes were standard. Like the Gods of Mount Olympus, the Viking

Gods and Visigoths were fierce and did not back away once a conflict had begun. As with their human counterparts,

they used all means of transporting themselves, and where mountains abut the sea, ships prove the most effective.

What were these giant hominoids doing in northern Europe? Exploring, in the same manner that took them to South

American and thence across the Pacific. They were looking for gold, and went prospecting everywhere.

ZetaTalk: Druids

Note: written on Jul 15, 1997

Stonehenge has influenced many groups over the eons, as it was intended to do. The Druids did not build Stonehenge, but they incorporated it into their rituals. Thus, history tends to credit them with erecting Stonehenge. Religious rituals, or those semi-religious rituals that form in highly structured social groups, are put into place to control the membership and give them outlets for emotions that would otherwise be disruptive. Emotions such as jealousy or fear can scatter a membership, but if given an outlet that tends to support the group’s goal, build and support the group rather then tear it apart.

Human sacrifices are one such ritual, as the sacrificed one acts as a scapegoat, becoming a symbol for whatever has

caused rage in the membership. The leaders, of course, select someone they wish to get rid of, a troublemaker or an

independent thinker. Stonehenge by its very shape implies sacrifice, but it did not cause this behavior in the Druids, as using scapegoats and rituals involving sacrifice occur in all cultures and all parts of the world. The close proximity to such an edifice as Stonehenge to any sacrificial rituals would naturally align into a mental association over time, and this is what occurred - a coincidence, made into cause and effect by historians.

ZetaTalk: Tower of Babel

Note: written on Nov 15, 1995

Cooperation among peoples is greatly enhanced by language, though this is not the only vehicle for communication

possible. The statement that a picture is worth a thousand words can scarcely be argued. Nevertheless, humans who do

not speak the same language essentially do not associate with each other, they avoid each other and segregation results.

Nevertheless there are common threads in all languages, based on words that mock natural sounds and developmental

associations the child makes. Early races of man, developing in isolation from each other, did not develop common

languages, and this situation persists today. In fact, isolation creates different languages that started from the same base. They grow apart.

The legend of the Tower of Babel reflects this common occurrence, but the legend is not altogether fancy. Deliberate

separation occurred in mankind's recent past, among groups that were commandeered into forced labor by the

hominoid visitors from the 12th Planet. These slave-masters were constantly on the alert to prevent their slaves from

gaining their technological advantages. The visitors constructed towers, silos in fact, to surround the missiles they used to shuttle between Earth and their home planet when it made a periodic appearance. When groups of their slave-laborers were found snooping and sharing information with each other, they were separated, forcibly. What remained

of the story was the tower, the clustering of man, and the resulting separation due to language barriers. They did not separate because of a language barrier, the barrier developed because of separation.
