Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest chimpig of all?

And when were they born?

From We Need To Rewild The Internet, Maria Farrell, Robin Berjon:

In the late 18th century, officials in Prussia and Saxony began to rearrange their complex, diverse forests into straight rows of single-species trees.

It made timber yields easier to count, predict and harvest, and meant owners no longer relied on skilled local foresters to manage forests. They were replaced with lower-skilled laborers following basic algorithmic instructions

Those labourers needed a back-story.

Twists in the Tale of the Serpent Mound, shows how Britain's six known serpent earthworks were first documented only after 1754.

Remarkably, Britain's Christian authorities hadn't noticed the country's 'pagan' serpent mounds before then. Despite having waged a 1,700 year recruitment campaign for pagan hearts and minds.

All other currently-known, 'ancient' serpent mounds - in America and elsewhere - were also first documented during or after the 18th century. Along with many other artefacts.

From Counterfeit Antiquities, The Journal of the Royal Historical and Archaeological Association of Ireland, Fourth Series, Vol. 8, No. 73/74 (Jan. - Apr., 1888), pp. 343-344:

In America the utmost care has to be exercised in order not to be deceived by "bogus" relics. In Mexico there is a great deal more sham Aztec pottery and other "curios" sold than there is of genuine antiquities. The foreign demand for "American antiquities" is now so great, that one manufacturer concentrates his attention on "mound builders' pipes." A large business is done in hematite axes and gorgets cut from blue slate.

From all parts of the world comes the same tale. Ingenious knaves are everywhere sedulously devoting their talents to the fabrication of ancient implements.

Eighteenth century discoveries of 'antiques' in Britain sparked disbelief among the country's own inhabitants. One example being controversies about 'antique' coins. In 1741, Royston Cave antiquarian Rev George North got involved in a dispute about antique coin forging. And in The Torrington Diaries, John Byng hints Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint was minting 'antique' coins in 18th century Birmingham.

Civilisation and Christianity were allegedly preserved through the Dark Ages and Middle Ages by Irish clerics. Yet the building and ownership of Ireland's most distinctive 'chapel' evaded the records until 1756.

From Gallarus Oratory:

The distinctive upturned-boat shape of the Gallarus Oratory first attracted the attention of antiquarians in the mid-eighteenth century. ¹

Just like English crosses:

From Old Cornish Crosses, Arthur G Langdon, 1896:

many crosses had been discovered subsequent to the publication of his book (meaning J. T. Blight's 1858 Ancient Crosses and Antiquities of Cornwall).

These localities had not, to my knowledge, been previously explored, and our investigations resulted in the acquisition of many valuable examples hitherto unillustrated.

Why didn't their owners - England's Christian authorities - know where their crosses were?

Other 'old' British features appear new when first documented in the 18th century. Such as Stonehenge:

And see Fingerprints of the Clean Up Team - Part Two.

Well-known 'ancient' structures line up with spring and mid-summer sun-rises (the solar equinox and solar solstice). But if these structures really were 'ancient', their solar alignments should have drifted off by now. Due to precession:

Source: Ewaranon - 3 - LHFE 2 - 02 - The Sun In The Church

Another approach to this problem is to deny precession exists. As in: No axial precession of the earth proven by Archaeoastronomy of ancient monuments.

Though many astronomers might take issue with that.

An explanation most would take issue with is that these 'ancient' structures were built at some time closer to the late 17th or 18th centuries.

Or even the 20th:

Many 'ancient' ruins looked young - broken but young - when first recorded. See Newport: The Not So Old Port and the 'ancient' rock tombs at St Patrick's Chapel, Heysham, in Lancashire.

Both of which have aged more quickly since 'discovery':

In the above image, the alleged rock tombs are allegedly 800 years old. In the next image they are allegedly 1,000 years old:

What a difference 200 years makes. Considerably more difference than 800 years, evidently.

Britain's national mapping agency - the Ordnance Survey - was also founded in the 18th century. In 1745. Nine years later, Britain's first 'ancient' serpent mound and many of Britain's ancient physical remains were first recorded. It's as if Britain was being explored for the first time.

Another example is the bizarre narrative around the 1742 re-discovery of Royston Cave in Hertfordshire.

Another is the enigma of 'ancient' hill-figures.

From The Ancient Hill-Figures of England:

However, most English, and both Scottish, hill figures date from the eighteenth century, or later, and so do not come into the category of ancient

And those hill figures that are allegedly truly 'ancient' were only recorded when they were 're-cut':

Cerne Abbas Giant. Source: Hill Figure

From Cerne Abbas Giant:

His presence is first recorded in 1694 in the accounts of the churchwarden of St. Mary's Church in Cerne Abbas, which records that 3 shillings were paid for "repairing ye Giant."

In 1774, Rev. John Hutchins claimed the Giant was created by Lord Denzil Holles, the owner of the hill from 1642 to 1666, to satirize the puritanical rule of Oliver Cromwell.

The pattern continues:

The Long Man of Wilmington, Sussex. Source: Hill Figure

From Hill Figure - Wikipedia:

The earliest record was made by the surveyor John Rowley in the year 1710.

Westbury White Horse. Source: Hill Figure

From Hill Figure:

There is, however, no documentation or other evidence for the existence of a chalk horse at Westbury before 1772.

A likely fake medieval Welsh book suggests another white horse at Uffington was known of by the 15th century. But many 18th century antiquarians thought the Uffington white horse was only a century old at best.

Similarly, England's narrative of 'ancient' long distance trackways begins in the 18th century.

From North-Herts: Circular walk:

some stretches were not given the name [Icknield Way] until the eighteenth century, when antiquaries first started to look for its route.

it seems not to have existed until the eighteenth century, when minor farm tracks were ‘added’ to make it a long-distance route.

Britain's 18th century 'Age of Discovery' is so striking, even academics dare point it out. See Rosemary Sweet's 2004 Antiquaries: The Discovery of the Past in Eighteenth-Century Britain.

From her Antiquaries and Antiquities in Eighteenth-Century England, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Vol. 34, No. 2, 2001:

It was antiquarianism that provided the raw material from which the narratives of history could be fashioned.

Indeed.

What does seem true is that shortly before the Ordnance Survey was founded, the Reformation had delivered more physical destruction and depopulation than orthodox British history will admit.

Why?

And why in the mid-18th century?

Overall, the evidence suggests a new product was being launched. A product that needed a back-story.

Its back-story was - and still is - delivered in pamphlets, papers, plays and ballads ². But this product was smart enough to require physical evidence if it was to be convinced of its back-story.

Two more 18th century mysteries are the 'Anatomical Machines' preserved in the crypt of Sansevero Chapel, Naples:

I, Robot. Source: Incredible Anatomical Human Machines – Two Fleshless Bodies Mystery

From Two Fleshless Bodies Mystery:

Still today, after about two-and-a-half centuries, it remains a mystery what procedures and/or materials were used to obtain such exceptional preservation of the circulatory system.

The 'Machines' were made by the doctor Giuseppe Salerno, an anatomist from Palermo, Italy under the direction of Raimondo di Sangro, Prince of Sansevero (1710-1771)

Read the link. Or this. Or this.

It reads as though Raimondo's product team prototyped a new circulatory system on three humans - a male, a female, and a fetus.

In the middle of the 18th century.

Or see the advanced trepanning in Experiments With Human Consciousness.

Another case of mysteriously vanished anatomical skill is this dissection of the human nervous system.

Meet 'Harriet':

Dating Harriet is a problem.

The Mystery of 'Harriet Cole' fleshes out the 'Harriet Cole' mystery in a long, earnest essay on the problems of black slavery and male participation in medicine and reproduction.

But its details of the actual dissection come down to just a few, alleged, facts:

• The host wasn't called 'Harriet' or 'Harriet Cole'.
• Lone doctor - and priest look-alike - 'Rufus Weaver' collected bodies and body parts from the south eastern USA. And also - apparently - from Europe. So Harriet's origin is uncertain.
• The host of this nervous system was sourced from a vat of disinfectant. Thus sterilised, the origin of host, vat and disinfectant are unknown.
• Weaver never described how he extracted the host's nervous system.
• Teams of people working with modern equipment can only poorly replicate Weaver's alleged feat.
• The nervous system was displayed at exhibitions alongside other body parts amid commentary that sounds suspiciously like a product launch for vat-grown organs:

From The Mystery of 'Harriet Cole':

“Here is a lung,” the reporter quoted him saying. “Isn’t that the handsomest thing that you ever saw?”

Although scientists don't agree when or why the human brain suddenly improved, they do agree it did improve inexplicably quickly.

They call this 'the Big Bang of the Brain':

They just don't agree that it happened in the early 18th century. Or that the 18th century's publishing industry arrived to entertain and educate Earth's new thinkers.

The weird DNA behind human intelligence and their unnaturally well-cooled brains has also caught the attention of geneticists.

Geneticists who only recently realised how easy genetic modification is - with the right elixir.

But hey, who could brew simple DNA-modifying elixirs 300 years ago?

The audio isn't clear. He says 'Mages' - as in 'The Magi' - then 'Witchers'.

Witcher = witch = wicca = vicar.

And in addition to the 18th century's appearance of - then disappearance of - anomalous anatomical skills, other clues to humanity's recent origin are hiding in linguistics and abrupt social change.

'Society' is the English word for:

a group of individuals involved in persistent social interaction or a large social group sharing the same spatial or social territory

Phonetically: /sʊsaɪətiː/.

The claim is that society comes from words like 'association':

But society has its tail in its mouth. Source: Propaganda et Circencis

How did words for 'association', 'alliance', 'community' and 'company' turn into a word starting with 'sus'?

The answer seems to lie in the Latin stem: 'Sus'.

Phonetically: /ˈsuːs/.

'Sus' is Latin for 'of the pig family'.

Linguistically-speaking, society comes from the pig family.

We're told 'sus' comes from an earlier word 'sokius'. Many European towns held different markets on different days. Different days and often different spaces for:

• ironware ('feria' leads to the English words 'fair' and probably 'ferry')
• vegetables
• meat and/or pigs

'Sus' - and hence 'society' - is derived from a classical word for a collection of pigs: 'sokius'.

Many traces of sokius remain.

English market districts were called 'sokes'. Like the 'Soke of Peterborough' and the 'Soke of Winchester'. ²

All that remains of one of the larger sokes - the Soke of Folkingham in Lincolnshire - is a large village wrapped around a town-sized high street.

From Folkingham - Wikipedia:

The settlement is centred on a large Market Place, positioned between a church on high land to the NW and a former baronial castle

The Market Place, West Street and Sleaford Road were lined with houses, farms, shops and inns/public houses and this whole area was remodelled in the late 18th century by the Heathcote Family of Normanton (Rutland) who bought the manor in 1788.

"...was remodelled in the late 18th century" is a dating clue and a huge understatement if you look at the crop marks around Folkingham.

That remodelling is another story but many of the Soke of Folkingham's 23 "dependent territories" coincide with the southern stretch of enigmatically destroyed 'monastic houses' marked in yellow in On the Level About Lincolnshire - Part Three.

It's also worth reading Wikipedia's 'Soke of Peterborough' to see that administering a soke was largely about who had the right to assess, slaughter and dispose of 'suspects'. The confused legacy of this aspect of our origins is hinted at in What does the saying, “Fair is the place where they judge pigs” mean?.

There were once many more sokes around England.

And there still are around the Mediterranean.

In Rome's former colonies 'sokius' shows up as 'souk' and 'souq' - where it still means: 'market'.

Countries that still use 'souk' for 'market' also tend to retain strong taboos against eating pig. A correlation that is probably not accidental:

What is the underlying reason? Source: PIGSAREHUMANS / Human Meat Markets / Tainting Ancient and MODERN Civilizations

Perhaps it reflects fears of a disease that cannot be cooked, heat-seared or sanitised away. Only abstinence prevents it. Abstinence maintained by taboo. See Prion disease, or Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD).

Two more clues lie in Britain's abrupt 18th century shift from a society of markets to a market economy.

Describing a visit to a fair (a hardware market) near Sandy, Bedfordshire, The Torrington Diaries author John Byng says he first met up with a butcher friend - 'a knight', he writes, from 'old times'. Byng then described what he saw for sale.

From The Torrington Diaries - A Tour In The Midlands, 1789, John Byng, p145, dated 1789-06-01:

There were many Pharoahs lean kine (sic) and some nags with several Slight-of-hand Men, and a Learned Pig ; for since the first of these learned grunting-Gentry, that was so much admired, the Piggish Race have improved amazingly in wisdom ; and disperse their knowledge over the Kingdom at the very cheap rate of One Penny per Head.

A penny for your thoughts. Source: Incredible Anatomical Human Machines

The many references to "discourse" in The Learned Pig - Wikipedia, the international awe inspired by what is alleged to have been a circus act, and some of the comments made about 'pigs' also suggest there is more to the Learned Pig's history than convention admits.

Byng's diary entry is from 1 June, 1789 - some years after Palermo's inexplicable 18th century dissections. See also Papa Song's Papal Chantries. Byng is telling us Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) had arrived. And the customers were enthralled.

His comment: "since the first of these learned grunting-Gentry ... the Piggish Race have improved amazingly in wisdom" is a reference to a sustained effort to produce sentient labourers through cross-breeding and - probably - bacteria-based genetic modification. What we would think of as the witches' brew.

There is evidence that, just as with microprocessors and A.I. today, the 18th century's sentient slaves had already been developed and tested out of public view in mines, quarries and factories.

A controversial aspect of Britain's First Industrial Revolution - starting about 40 years before Byng's Bedfordshire market - was its reliance on children:

Early A.I. was entrained with a work ethic. Source: Shadow Rome I

From a Soho Mint sales flyer targeting french-speaking customers, here translated by The Powers of the Soho Mint:

In 1788 M. Boulton, Soho, England, made a steam machine for coining money, and in 1798 a superior one. Both machines can be worked by children with ease, and the speed increased to the degree required.

It took a lot of product failure and debugging to put A.I. to work at Matthew Boulton's high-speed 'antique' coin presses. Which may explain why Britain's First Industrial Revolution started about the same time insane asylums were being built to collect and debug product failures.

Perhaps the worldwide creation of fake antiquities and fake historical narratives in the 18th century was prompted by the realisation that new smart slaves went mad when they noticed gaps in their back-story.

Employing them to produce exportable antiquities that support humanity's various back-stories was inspired product management.

It also tells us the 18th century is humanity's most important date.

It marks our transition from meat to man. From 'sus' to 'society'.
