Chapter 6 - The Madness of Memories

The sound of the car alarm, parked between the big old trees, made me check the door for the third time. "It's locked, what the hell is..." Both my shoulders slumped and I let out a sigh when I saw one of the car windows wide open.

After checking all the windows and making sure none of the doors were loose, my four-wheeled Black could finally sleep peacefully. And I could leave her in peace and go to the classroom where I would study all day to get my bachelor's degree with the highest honours and grades.

My steps were unsteady, my head full of plans on how to deal with Renata. Fear enveloped me. Fear of telling the truth, the reason for my anger, and ending it with an apology. My fingertips keep bumping into each other, my eyes straight ahead, piercing the ground I stand on.

"Hi, alone?"

A voice and a tap on my right shoulder startled me, causing the life I had lost to return to its body.

A tall, slim, yellow-skinned woman with long hair tied back in a ponytail, wearing a gingham shirt combined with a red heart-shaped jumper, stood beside me.

"Hi... Oh, Ferryn. You scared me." I quickened my pace.

"Why so fast?" Ferryn widened her stride, trying to match my walking speed. Her big mountain boots made a roaring noise that echoed down the corridor between the campus buildings, attracting every pair of ears to report this commotion to the eyeballs, making us both the centre of attention.

Ferryn was not just any girl, her tomboyish style and taller-than-average height made her a popular student, and she was also the first female leader of the Nature Lovers Student Community on this campus. A group that had always been dominated by men. Standing on tiptoe, her height is similar to mine, which is only 173 cm. Quite tall for a woman.

"I have a class, I'll be right there. I'll be late."

"When are you free? Won't you join me for lunch?"

I stopped suddenly. I thought for a moment and smiled slightly as I looked at Ferryn's pretty, well-groomed face. "Where do you want to eat?"

"Well... that's up to you. Do you want to?"

I looked Ferryn up and down, pretending to think. "Sure, twelve o'clock."

"Yes!"

"Don't get excited, we're just having lunch." I said curtly and walked away from her face.

"I'll be waiting at the main gate!"

"No promises, yes." I waved with my back to her and walked quickly towards the classroom.

It's been a few months since Ferryn approached me, I didn't know what her intentions were in inviting me for lunch or dinner every free hour. Is it what people say Ferryn is to me... Ah, it's not important. Even if it's true, I never have time for it. I want to graduate with a perfect GPA and get a bachelor's degree, just like mum dreamed of. To fulfil mum's biggest dream. Ferryn approached me and we got to know each other right after the events of that night, during the crazy game between me and Alrescha. We had a long chat the next day, just small talk. Little did I know that she would continue to bother me to this day.

What about Alrescha? I don't know, we were never friends. In fact, we only crossed paths a couple of times on campus, and even then he always pretended not to see me. While more than half the students finally knew me thanks to him, I was invisible in his eyes.

I entered the classroom with slow steps, having noticed that the lecturer was already inside and ready to teach.

"Sorry, I'm late," I said quietly. "Eh," I was surprised to see Renata already sitting neatly in a chair. Had Renata really arrived first? Hadn't she taken public transport earlier? How could she be ahead of me?

I walked over to the empty seat behind Renata and drew a smile line for her. But she didn't look at me at all, she was reluctant. I sat down. She looked angry. I knew it was my fault, but how could I tell her the truth about my emotional state at that moment?

Ah, there's no need. I didn't deserve to try to explain anything to make her understand my feelings. Because I never want to understand the feelings of someone who wants to be my friend. I really don't want to be so selfish, but I know... There won't be anyone who understands what I'm going through and the strange memories that keep popping into my head. Even the person who has known my secret all this time has been limited to being a loyal listener. She... doesn't seem to understand me either.

"Kale!"

"Huh? Yes, sir!" My body stood up reflexively. Why did the teacher suddenly call my name? Cold sweat slowly broke out all over my body, especially on my forehead.

"Since you're late, I'm going to ask you a question before the lesson continues."

Oh shit, this is really an unlucky day. Oh my God, what are you going to do to me?

"As we all know, famous architects around the world always have a characteristic or identity structure, material and construction in their buildings. So what kind of structure, material and construction will you use as your identity? And what architectural positives will you use in your work? Please explain in ... detail".

"Pyramid structure, sir."

"Pyramid?" The classroom suddenly fell silent, all the students looking at me with questioning glances.

"Yes, pyramids." I repeated with conviction and confidence.

"Ok, then please explain why you chose that."

The lecturer's posture immediately changed, his hands, which had been straight at his sides, were now crossed over his distended stomach, and his eyebrows were raised, indicating that he did not understand my intentions and goals in choosing an anti-mainstream building structure that was still being debated by scientists and even astronomers around the world. Or maybe he was trying very hard to imagine that any house or building I built would be pyramid shaped and that was very strange to him.

"As we all know, a pyramid is the shape of a building that is square at the bottom and becomes more and more conical as it goes up. Why is this shape so special to me? And why did I choose it? According to some research, the shape of a pyramid creates certain effects or benefits for the objects inside. As the name suggests, pyramid means fire within. So all objects inside the pyramid will experience certain processes related to the nature of fire. For example: 'If we put meat or fish inside, it will be dry and will not rot.

"So if we enter and live in a pyramid-shaped building, we will dry out and not rot?" The lecturer interrupted my explanation with a joke.

Suddenly, the entire silent classroom erupted in laughter.

"Kale," he sighed. "We're talking about buildings for living people, not mummies." The laughter grew louder.

"I haven't finished explaining yet, sir."

"OK, sorry then. Please continue." The class fell silent again.

"Apart from the nature of the fire, the effect is also caused by the structure of the pyramid building. It is caused by a wave flow on the earth that flows along the path of the pyramid, which is an upward flow. Furthermore, the angle and placement of the pyramid structure that was built was not arbitrary. Even the details of the angle of inclination of the pyramid shape are calculated in detail. Apart from the angle of inclination, the height and width of the pyramid are certainly based on the knowledge of the ancient people of that time, which is now known as the number of squares or cubits[1] of their inhabitants. Even the place where the building is to be built is influenced by the extent of the earth's magnetic variations, the land and astronomy.

"Adapting to the purpose and function of the building's use. With the existence of several good functions accompanied by the intelligence of the ancient human races, the basic form of the pyramid structure is widely used by the ancient humans who knew super high technology as their building form to determine what kind of materials are needed..."

"Super high-tech?"

"Sir, please don't cut it off yet. I haven't finished yet. If you have any questions, it's better to ask them later when the presentation is over."

"Sorry - sorry. Your presentation is all the more interesting because you're combining current scientific theories with conspiracy theories about a technology that... OK. Please explain what you mean by super high technology, so I don't get the wrong idea. Please."

I sighed softly, feeling the possibilities of the thoughts that were festering in the mind of this person I called the lecturer in front of me. "The super high technology in question is called Rodzha[2]. For one thing, we used this technology to build the Padrang Pyramid in Cianjur. And..."

My explanation was interrupted again. This time by one of the students, "We? You've already built a pyramid?"

"What? Can I speak without being cut off? You may have heard me wrong. I didn't say 'we', I said... um, 'Lemurian Nation'[3]."

"Nooo..." The rest of the class replied in turn to counter my explanation, "The words 'Lemurian Nation' never came out. It was 'we'."

Why was I in such a mess? I looked for an alibi. "Sir, my speech has become incoherent, hasn't it? Please don't interrupt me this time."

"OK, nobody interrupts! Those who interrupt will be asked the same question."

Like a group of pesky mosquitoes sprayed with insecticide, the class was instantly silent.

"I'll give you two minutes, Kale. Please, we don't have much time. Please shorten it."

"The super high technology in question is Rodzha, just like what the Lemurians used and applied to build the pyramids. Unlike the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Lemurians built the pyramids using Errendha metal as the base material. This Errendha Metal[4] is produced and processed from the bowels of the Earth with the help of the Manthika Nation[5]. The shape and structure of the pyramids there are also used for energy transfer as 'dimensional doors'.

"Nowadays there is a lot of research into the function of these pyramids, for example as healing tools. Placing a small pyramid over a wound or entering a large pyramid speeds up the healing process, especially for physical wounds. The waves created by this -"

"Ok, enough Kale. Your explanation has gone out of discussion and started to go everywhere, my class is for the study of architecture. Not the history and anthropology of ancient Egypt, let alone discussing such conspiracy myths. Please-"

"Really? The main point is that we can harness the energy waves generated by the structure and shape of the pyramid, sir. Didn't you ask me to explain in detail the positive aspects of the structure that will become my architectural identity? That's why I-"

"Let the people who live there dry up without decay?"

My tone began to rise. "I have already discussed that this will only happen if we use the same material as the Giza Pyramid in Egypt. It will have different functions and benefits if we use Errendha metal base material as the Lemurians do, it will have positive effects in the form of physical and non-physical wound healing. Any material for building structures varies according to what we need and want, not equally. It depends on what function we want. The point is that we can use the structure and construction of the pyramid to have a positive effect on the occupants. It all comes back to the function that is being used in the building, just like in alchemy. Different percentages of chemical composition will certainly have different functions. The same goes for -"

"You mean you want to build a pyramid-shaped building out of metal? What kind of metal?"

"Errendha."

"What kind of metal is that? I've just heard about it."

"Errendha metal, a type of metal six times stronger than titanium. More than titanium, sir."

"You..." interrupted by laughter. "You want to make a pyramid out of Errendha metal? Are you sure?"

"I mean, of course it won't be 100% Errendha, I'll fuse it with other materials. Just like a building needs other materials to make a house. Even the walls aren't just cement? Apart from cement, there's sand, bricks and-"

"You want to fuse errendha with cement? Metallic elements with earthly elements? How is that possible?"

"It doesn't always have to be cement or sand. Melding errendha should have the flavour of an alchemist[6], going back to the function of the building to be created. The combination is at the level of atoms, elements, not-"

"The big question is just one, don't go so far as to fuse or unite one element with another. Just one, do you know how to fuse, unite metal and metal? Don't even think about fusing metals with non-metals. Metal with metal alone requires a very reliable technique, it requires a high level of education. You should study mechanical engineering to make the super-technological tools you need, as well as a specialisation in manufacturing and metallurgy, not just architecture. You have a long way to go, it could take decades or more to master and understand everything. I suggest you stop reading books about conspiracy theories. They'll drive you mad, no one can prove that all the theories are true. Delusion!

"And is it true that the Lemurian nation you speak of uses metal in its designs? The processing of metal requires advanced furnace technology such as the tools used today, Kale. You also said that Errendha metal is six times stronger than titanium. There's no way the ancients could have made buildings out of metal. They couldn't even have had the tools. Why not? Because the technique of smelting metal was not discovered until about 6,000 BC. Now I ask you, in what year did the Lemurian people you are referring to live?"

"Over 50,000 BC, sir." I replied as I looked down at the tiles I had stepped on. "As far as I know, it's older than that."

"Well, what else is it? No way! Don't ever make things up, we're talking science here. Not conspiracy theories or science fiction. You've seen too many useless films or books like that. What you need to read are science books, how can you be so sure of the theory that you stubbornly want to practice it yourself. I don't have a problem with your dreams, it's amazing that you dream so high. It's just that if you want to talk about facts- Listen. Hey, listen when I talk."

"I'm listening, sir." My retinas were still piercing the floor.

"Listening means looking me in the eye, not looking down like you're daydreaming! Eyes here!"

My chin tipped up, forcing me to meet his gaze.

"Listen carefully, the induction furnace was only invented in 6,000 BC. And you're already talking about fusing metallic and non-metallic elements in design. We don't have to go far, we're talking about logic. If the first induction furnace was only invented thousands of years ago, then how did they melt metal and shape it into what they needed if they were living tens of thousands of years BC, in the Stone Age and under water?"

I don't know why, but it tore my heart apart to hear his question, even though it ended with a joke about living underwater. It sounded like an insult. This insult seemed to be aimed at me, directly at me.

I lowered my face again. "In fact, Lemurian civilisation and knowledge is far more advanced than ours, sir. The technology to melt, form and fuse the errendha metal with other elements is what I alluded to earlier, Rodzha. More advanced than induction furnaces which can only fuse metal or similar elements together. Rodzha is much more advanced than that."

"Ouch..." he held his half-hairless head and shook it, knowing the hardness of my head. Quite a few students also laughed at how dizzy the lecturer was to serve one of his unruly students, me.

One of the students also gave his answer in a loud voice: "I read in one of the books that the Lemurians are like amphibian humans because they live in the water. They are human hybrids. Is it true? It's a conspiracy, but a lot of people believe it.

"Like Kale, who believes it to his dying day."

"Are we talking buildings or aliens?" The question was followed by laughter from the other students.

"We're talking about a house for mummies."

"Amphibian man, bro!"

The laughter and insults, which seemed to be aimed at me personally, were hurled from various directions, and all I could do was hold back the rumbling inside me that was growing louder and louder.

"Didn't he say that we were all descended from the nation of Athlantis? The most advanced nation at that time?"

"I mean, Lemurians are like mermaids? Living in the water like Aquaman."

"Wow, that's nice. No need for oxygen tanks when swimming, just a dolphin instead of a motorcycle taxi".

This time my blood instantly boiled, exploding. 'That's enough!' I spontaneously kicked the chair away and made a loud noise as a result.

Everyone was in a state of shock and kept their mouths shut, they had no idea I would do such a reckless thing.

I looked into their eyes one by one with a harsh snort, like a wild animal staring at a meal. "You are wrong, Lemurians are not hominoids[7] like Amphibians[8]! Lemurians are indeed human hybrids[9], but Lemurians and Amphibians are different races, very different!

"Do not be misled just because Lemurians use water as a source of life. Lemurians use water for many basic purposes, not just for drinking to quench thirst. Lemurians use water for weapons, water for fuel, water for medicine, water for disaster prevention, water to connect with all activities and nature on their home planet and to connect with other planets. Working together globally.

"Water is indeed a basic element of Lemurian life," my tone rose, my blood already at boiling point, "but that doesn't mean that Lemurians live in the water or at the bottom of the ocean. And don't ever jump to the conclusion that Lemurians are hominoids, because we and amphibians are different races! Half of our heritage is indeed at the bottom of the ocean today, BUT THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE WE WERE AT WAR WITH THE ATLANTIC PEOPLE AND THEY DROWNED OUR ENTIRE CIVILISATION WITHOUT A MISTAKE!!! YOU HEARD THAT!!!"

My chest rose and fell, my breathing was ragged. It was as if my body had been shocked by a mild electric current and had finally come to its senses.

"Oh no! I've done it again, I've messed everything up again." I fretted to myself.

My eyes swept across the classroom, everyone in the room staring at me. Whispers and snickers of laughter rippled through my ear holes. Their eyes judged me for being silent, standing and alone.

I had done it again. Even though I had promised Mum I would not let these strange memories interfere with my studies, I had promised Mum I would become a scholar. If this keeps happening, I may never become a scholar.

"Sorry... I'm not feeling well today. My head has been in a whirl since this morning. Please excuse me, sir." I picked up my bag and left the classroom without waiting for permission.

In fact, I moved here not because I didn't feel at home on the previous campus, but because of my own weirdness. I seemed to be different from others, I was too critical in my reaction to things. Extremely critical.

As long as I've been alive, there are many things I've wondered about life. One of them is about the place we live on, planet Earth or better known as Terra or the Blue Planet. Earth is the third planet from the Sun, the most populous and the fifth largest of the eight planets in the Solar System star cluster.

Earth, a planet, formed about 4.54 billion years ago, and life began to appear on its surface within the first billion years. Of all the planets in the Universe, Earth is the only one where life is possible. This means that there is no life other than on planet Earth. That's what experts have written about planet Earth. Do I believe it? My answer is: No!

If the Earth was created 4.54 billion years ago and the first life appeared between 2.8 and 2.5 billion years ago, what happened on the surface of the Earth before that? What happened for 1.74 billion years? What kind of civilisations filled the void on Earth? There is no definitive answer that satisfies me. Questions like these often swirl around in my head and bother me every time I go to bed.

Maybe it's because of critical questions like this that I'm always in and out of universities. And this is the third time. Not because I drop out, but because I feel that the knowledge I get in lectures is always incompatible with the passion I have. Memories and critical questions like the one I just had are like knowledge I get out of nowhere, they always come out of nowhere. Suddenly spoken or thought. Because of this repetitive reaction, I felt strange and decided to change my studies.

Studying away from home was no problem for me, my parents were rich enough to pay for everything. I was an only child anyway, no siblings meant no competition for my parents' money and inheritance.

In fact, these strange questions don't just appear out of nowhere, they always appear when there is a trigger. For example, when I see a television channel showing how big and magnificent the pyramids of Giza, Egypt, are, I don't immediately accept the information that the pyramids were built by ancient people, by slaves arranging and arranging them one by one.

My question at that time was put to a professor at the university where I had previously studied and was quite controversial because I asked the question in a public lecture.

"In fact, a single stone that makes up the pyramid is very big and heavy, the average weight of a stone of the Great Pyramid reaches 2.3 tonnes or about 2.5 tonnes. It is very unlikely that it could be lifted by one or two people, as depicted on the walls of the artefacts, which even show one person carrying two of the stones that make up the pyramid. Did people like us lift and arrange the stones to the top of the pyramid? It is possible that they used a crine-like tool to do this. Right? Or are the people depicted on all Egyptian artefacts not really people like us today?"

The answers were disappointing, always clashing with the conspiracy theories they threw at me, and ending with no answers that satisfied my hunger for this kind of knowledge. In the end, I just assumed that the pyramids were built by something big, and it certainly wasn't people like us. Such thoughts are like childhood memories that always come suddenly and return years later. Like what happened today.

I walked down the corridor with big, fast steps. Why am I like this? These memories bother me so much, they're killing me.

What's the point of getting angry when they say bad things about Lemurians? Worse, I said 'we'. I'm dead. There's no use for me. And why was I so emotional today, exploding out of control? Unusually, these memories came unbidden and I said all these things without even thinking about it. It flowed like water. It just came out.

"I... I've gone mad!!!"

***

I sat alone on the pavement outside the main campus gate, waiting for a girl called Ferryn to join me for lunch. "Half an hour to go," I muttered.

My eyes went wild looking at everything in front of me, but the adventure soon came to an end when my eyes correctly spotted a carved statue in the shape of a half elephant/half man, Ganesha.

Ganesha, you have the body and blood of the Mauri people with the head of an elephant. Your head was decapitated and destroyed by your own father, Shiva, on the grounds that you were obstructing your father's wish to meet your mother, Parvati. Your father was eventually forced to replace your head with that of an animal because Parvati wanted you back alive. How bad did you have to be to lose your head? My mouth mumbled as I stared at the statue, searching and getting lost in it. At least that's what I heard in the written story. But deep inside... I didn't believe it, something was missing from the story.

Even if this story is true, it makes sense to me. The body of any living being can survive for 8 hours without a head, and can be brought back to life by combining or transplanting it. What happens when the body separates from the head is that the tissue that connects the nerve cells between the head and the body is severed. This leads to loss of consciousness before all organs stop functioning and eventually die.

All organs don't just die when blood vessels and nerves are cut, which is why medicine can transplant lungs, kidneys, hearts and other internal organs. Even the latest experts say that a brain organ can be transplanted into another person as long as the organ is 12 hours old. This means that the brain organ will stay alive for 12 hours immediately after the organ is removed or the person with the organ dies.

My guess is that this happened to Ganesha because his head was damaged and Shiva was forced to replace his head with an elephant's head because elephants were the first animals found in the area. Did Ganesha not die from loss of blood? As long as the body or organ is frozen at a certain temperature, hibernated or placed in a hibernation tube filled with a certain liquid, such as the liquid used by the Dropa[1] people to transplant organs, Ganesha can certainly survive or not die at all. This is done without killing all the cells and nerves, and even has the effect of rapidly regenerating cells within minutes.

You can imagine what kind of medical tools and methods Shiva used on Ganesha. It's hard to believe, but I do.

Who would have thought that world medicine would follow in the footsteps of Shiva or Mahadev and perform a head transplant. Dr Sergio Canaveri, Director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group, Turin, Italy, suggests that a head transplant is possible. He will perform his first transplant in December 2017, on a volunteer called Valery Sprinidov. Valery claims that he will be the first person to perform a head transplant on Earth. He forgets that Shiva performed the first head transplant on earth a dozen thousand years BC on Ganesha. Or can I just say that people today are too proud of the technology they have acquired today? They don't know or don't want to know that the technology of the past was much more advanced than theirs.

But I can't blame them entirely, because the fact is that the inhabitants of Earth are forced to remain ignorant of the technological advances of the past. All this against the background of those who have suppressed this information for certain purposes.

"If only they hadn't..."

Eh, wait a minute! What did I say? They? Who are they I'm talking about? What was I thinking? A new memory popped up! Ooohh nooo... I've gone mad! I should just go home, I need to rest completely. Something is wrong with me today. I want to go home.

 ** 

When the collection of memories is an omen,

When denial provides proof,

When action leads to disaster.

And the secrets of human civilisation are finally revealed.

- Azantrhaka -

[1] The Dropa Nation, a human race with an almost perfectly round skull, but with extraordinary physical abilities above the average human of Earth. Their eyes are much larger and rounder. The legacy and evidence of their existence was finally revealed after the aircraft carrying the Dropa Nation's descendants was damaged and crashed on planet Earth. The full story can be read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dropa_stones

[1] Cubit, Researchers estimate that the cubit was used in Egypt as early as 3,000 BC and around the world much earlier. A cubit is generally considered to be 18 inches (457 mm), based on the length of the arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, and is the equivalent of 6 palms or 2 spans.

[2] Rodzha, a super high-tech processing system that combines basic components into new ones.

[3] The Lemurian civilisation, otherwise referred to as MU, is considered to be an ancient civilisation that emerged prior to the Athlantis civilisation. Researchers have placed the period of the Lemurian civilisation at approximately 75,000 BC to 11,000 BC. This information was obtained following the translation of ancient Mayan records, which demonstrated that the Lemurians were in fact older than their ancestors (Athlantis). An explanation of the Lemurians can also be obtained from a book by Augustus Le Plongeon (1826-1908), a 19th-century researcher and writer who conducted research on Mayan archaeological sites in Yucatan.

[4] Errendha metal, a metal produced by the Manthika people, is created using natural furnaces that harness the heat of the earth's core. The volcanic ranges in Indonesia function as the furnaces's 'kitchens', where the Manthika people process Errendha metal.

[5] The Manthika nation is an subterranean civilisation that specialises in the production of Errendha Metal, a highly prized commodity traded among neighbouring nations.Physically, the Manthika nation is characterised by its diminutive stature, measuring a mere three metres in height, and its pallid complexion. Its eyes are notably larger than the average human eye, suggesting a distinct genetic or environmental factor contributing to its visual characteristics.The Manthika nation is also known for its unique attire, which incorporates advanced nanotechnology to shield its body from the intense heat emanating from the Earth's core. The Manthika nation's respiratory system functions through the use of lungs, and they obtain oxygen from the process of breaking down groundwater molecules using advanced technology. Their preference for habitation below ground near the earth's core is attributed to a greater level of comfort in this environment compared to direct sunlight.It is noteworthy that the Manthika nation is not currently present on Earth. Instead, they have left descendants who possess a shorter physique, entrusting them with the responsibility of assisting the Amarthean and Agarthean nations.

[6] Alchemy is a protoscience that combines elements of chemistry, physics, astrology, art, semiotics, metallurgy, medicine, mysticism and religion. Two interrelated goals pursued by many chemists are the philosopher's stone, a mythical substance that allows the transmutation of ordinary metals into gold, and the universal panacea, a medicine that can cure all diseases and prolong life. Alchemy can be seen as the forerunner of modern chemistry before the formulation of the scientific method. The word alchemy comes from the Arabic al-kimiya or al-khimiya, which is probably formed from the particle al- and the Greek word khumeia, meaning 'to pour together'. (from khumatos, "that which is poured, a metal bar"). Other etymologies link this word to the word 'Al Kemi', meaning 'Egyptian art', as the ancient Egyptians called their country 'Kemi' and were considered powerful magicians throughout the ancient world.

[7] Hominoid, resembling or similar but not identical.

[8] Amphibians are human-like creatures that live in water. Their bodies are slimy and they have membranes between their fingers to help them live and stay in the water. This species usually lives on certain planets that have more oceans than land. Some of them still live on Earth.

[9] Hybrid, a thing, object or technology that combines two or more different things, objects or technologies, while retaining the characteristics and properties of the two or more elements.
