Out in the remote canyons of the Pergatoire River, just south of La Junta, Colorado, researcher Gary Vey was examining some very
old petroglyphics.
The amazing thing was that these ancient alphabetic symbols were virtually identical to others found in the Negev desert of Israel,
in South Australia, in Yemen, in Chile and in the British Isles!
On six continents, the ancient language symbols were virtually the same.
After numerous deciphering attempts, translations were eventually made with success through an old Hebrew dialect.
The Colorado alphabet consisted of 22 basic, distinct geometric shapes and some variations. Vey has termed it “The First Tongue”.
Translations of similar petroglyphs by another team in Australia proved that they originated with the same root culture and ascribed
to the same rules of grammar and symbols.
Likewise with the petroglyphs in Israel’s Negev desert, documented by Dr James Harris, during the Harvard expedition in 1994.
These, along with those on other continents, hinted at an original common language.
ONLY ONE GLOBAL LANGUAGE AT FIRST
If we were to trace the footsteps of the first migration wave, we would discover that it has left its traces in just ONE UNIVERSAL
LANGUAGE.
This fact that the whole world once spoke the same language survives in the racial memory of many peoples.
A fragmentary Sumerian tablet copied by the Oxford cuneiformist Oliver Gurney speaks of a time when “the whole universe” spoke “in
one tongue.”
The epic myth of Enmerker and the Lord of Araita, published by Professor S.N. Kramer, of the University of Pennsylvania, records
that all mankind spoke one and the same language until Enki, the Sumerian god of wisdom, confounded their speech.
The idea that there was a time when all men spoke the same language is found also in ancient Egyptian and Indian writings.
Likewise, the Popul Vuh, a book of the Central American Maya, records that “those who gazed at the rising of the sun [the ancestors
who formerly lived eastward of the Americas]… had but one language… before going west.”
These testimonies support the biblical book of Genesis statement that “all the earth was of one language, and of one speech.”
(Genesis 11:1)
