Post 8. The Chauvet Cave and the Lascaux Cave: Should They Be Considered Sacred Places (The Creation, Volume I: Chapter 1, Subhead 6)

The Chauvet Cave and the Lascaux Cave:  Should They Be Considered Sacred Places (Post 8. CVIC1S6)

As we have seen, the Chauvet cave and the Lascaux cave are closed to the public at the present time.  Is it possible that the Creator desired this so that these two caves could be treated with the reverence usually reserved for sacred places?  If so, what is sacred about the Chauvet cave and the Lascaux cave?  Perhaps, it is the activities that took place thousands of years ago in these caves, or in association with these caves, that, in the eyes of the Creator, are considered sacred.  And because these activities are considered sacred, the caves are considered sacred, also. 

In this regard, we have seen that the first artifacts of man that could be considered inspired sources were produced by the cave painters of the Aurignacian culture, who executed the paintings of the Chauvet cave about 30,000 B.C.  Perhaps, this is one reason the Chauvet cave is sacred in the eyes of the Creator.  These inspired sources, like other inspired sources that would be produced by man over the subsequent millennia, would be important in preparing man for the end of the present age.  The existence of these inspired sources, however, would not be revealed to man until the last decade of the twentieth century A.D.    Only at that time would they begin to benefit him.  And what benefit could man expect to receive at that time?  Simply stated, the inspired sources, it is believed, will make possible man’s initial step in the transformation of his present civilization to an advanced civilization, that is, one that employs mystical technology.  Following this, the transformation of the latter civilization to an advanced interstellar civilization that employs mystical technology could be considered an additional benefit, also.  This additional benefit, it is believed, will prepare man, technologically, for the end of the present age and the beginning of the future age, or as the latter is referred to in Christian eschatology-the age to come (Mt. 12:31-32).

However, the Chauvet cave is the cave, where transfer activity was first carried out by man, as well.  Perhaps, this is another reason the Chauvet cave is sacred in the eyes of the Creator.  This transfer activity, as we have seen, was carried out by the people of the Aurignacian culture between 35,000 B.C. and 30,001 B.C.  Here again, this transfer activity, like all transfer activity that would be carried out by man over the subsequent millennia, would be important in preparing man for the end of the present age and the beginning of the future age.  However, the purpose of transfer activity, that is, the higher purpose of transfer activity, would not be revealed to man until the day of the Lord (Isa. 2:10-22; Joel 2:1-11).  At that time, the benefit of this activity would become apparent to man.  What kind of benefit could man expect to receive in that day?  Like the inspired sources, transfer activity, it is believed, will prepare members of mankind, technologically, for the end of the present age and the beginning of the future age, or as he latter is referred to in Christian eschatology-the age to come (Mt. 12:31-32).  The role of the people-who were involved in transfer activity  since 35,000 B.C.-in assisting other members of mankind in the day of the Lord to prepare themselves, technologically, for the future age, will be discussed in greater detail in Chapter 3. 

Therefore, the Chauvet cave may be considered a sacred place by the Creator because of the two reasons, mentioned above.   But, what about the Lascaux cave?  What is it about this cave that would cause the Creator to consider it a sacred place?  As noted previously, the transfer activity of the people of the Aurignacian culture first involved intermarriage between these people and living entities of an advanced civilization that served the Creator-one that later became an advanced interstellar civilization. These intermarriages took place between 40,000 B.C. and 35,001 B.C.  These living entities were not Atlanteans.  However, the Creator, apparently, had Atlanteans in mind, when he, in 15,500 B.C., gave certain Atlanteans permission to dwell on the surface of the earth, intermarry with man, and become members of mankind. 

The members of mankind involved in these intermarriages were the people of the Magdalenian culture.  Although some of the progeny and descendants of those who intermarried were involved in transfer activity, the vast majority were not.  They would continue to dwell in their communities on the surface of the earth generation after generation.  However, they would be part of a growing number of people on earth who would possess part of an Atlantean genome.  The intermarriage of Atlanteans and members of mankind would not cease after the completion of the Magdalenian phase of these intermarriages about 15,001 B.C.  After this time, these intermarriages would continue among other cultures and civilizations of man until about 2000 B.C.   And the addition of the Atlantean genome to the genome of mankind during the period of time from 15,000 B.C. to 2000 B.C. would greatly assist the technological development of man and his rise to civilization during this time. 

Therefore, the Lascaux cave may be considered a sacred place in the eyes of the Creator because it was the people of the Magdalenian culture who were the first members of mankind to intermarry with Atlanteans.  These intermarriages, and all such intermarriages that would take place over the subsequent millennia (between 15,500 B.C. and 2000 B.C), would play a major role in developing the attributes-spiritual, mental and physical-that would enable man to develop a complex civilization, based on material technology.   After this was accomplished, the development by man of a complex civilization, based on mystical technology, would be possible.  The latter civilization, referred to in The Creation as an advanced civilization, will enable members of mankind-many of whom are alive on earth at the present time-to develop an advanced interstellar civilization and be prepared, technologically, for the end of the present age and the beginning of the future age, or as the latter is referred to in Christian eschatology-the age to come (Mt. 12:31-32).

One might conclude from the history of the Chauvet cave and the Lascaux cave that these caves were intended by the Creator to be memorials commemorating the three important events, mentioned above, and, as such, are only memorials to past events.  However, the Creator may not be finished with these caves.  It is possible that he intends to use them in the future for another important purpose, one which, once again, will have important implications for man, as well as and the Creator's plan and purpose for the creation and the life that dwells therein.
