| Our Earth from Space |
I am not a conspiracy theorist but I wonder if our earth has
had more incarnations than previously thought.
Our earth has vast, salty oceans, but what if, when earth
had formed and cooled long before the dinosaurs, the oceans were Not salty?
What if infant earth had not been saturated with this chemical compound?

| Pangaea |
Perhaps, an intelligent species had settled on what is now
called Pangaea more than 335 million years ago, and did not require salt to
live.
I put it before you there were other, long ago, well-formed
civilizations that had prospered on this earth. There may be past civilization remnants no one
will ever see due to massive changes in the environment and our landmasses. Our
earth is always moving due to shifts in the tectonic plates, meteorites smashing
into our oceans, and volcanoes.
What if the advanced civilizations prior to the dinosaurs
did not require salt to live? Why is science so biased this could never have
happened? Because if you don’t see evidence of this, facts and hard data, it
could not have been.
Science realizes now mankind has been around a lot longer than
previously thought. Buried cities are being unearthed, one of the most
intriguing in Turkey today known as Göbekli Tepe.
7,000 years older than expected (and older than Egypt’s Early Dynastic Period
by 8850 years), the city had been buried by its occupants. Why?

When did salt fill the oceans? Was it always there or did
something happen that the chemical compound spread its crystal tentacles across
the planet, sank into its oceans and penetrated deep in the land? God knows the
earth has undergone massive changes over the eons. Maybe, salt came to us from
outer space through an asteroid of something. What if the meteorite that killed
the dinosaurs was saturated with salt and changed the earth’s entire chemical
makeup?
Whatever, we require salt to live but if we ingest too much,
it will kill us. Dilemma!
Ancient man learned to barter salt for revenue, goods and
services. They learned to preserve food with it, live their lives around it. The
Chinese discovered gunpowder trying to dig for salt. Kingdoms were built and
destroyed over salt.

| Salt Mine (a nice one) |
A gift from the gods, strange beliefs survive from its
importance, i.e., during the Medieval era, women salted their husbands’
genitals to make them more potent. Today, we throw salt over our shoulders. We
salt our fish and make pickles with it.
We are salt.
But have we always been?
