THE NEW TESTAMENT OF NOTHING. A novel (4)

This was an anonymous letter.

It contained various symbols from which I recognized swastika, triskelion and some others, similar to those eternal ones, which, of course were made by The Ones. For us, so that we would not forget the main things, our way under the stars with or without a moral code. Better with. More dangerous, but the journey is lighter inside.

The letter also contained their picture, a shadowy autoportrait. There were two tall figures with mushrooms on their heads.

And the letter, oh, I didn't say that earlier, was found in the deep cave in the foremost part of the world, where only one little tribe lived.

How long are The Ones here? Does "always" mean 4 or 5 billion years of Earth? No, their "always" was just always. The Ones didn't know such idiotic things as death, sorrow, life, birth. They had The Gathering. They met each other at any place of the Earth. Often. They liked to build. They were builders, so some knowledge was given to the capable builders from men.

And we now have thousands of thousands buildings which still stand - big or small - in various places of the Earth. And only the eyeless cannot see that they are similar.

The Ones speak one language. Why? They could create many of them, but there is no need. They decided to choose one, and destroyed the others, bombed them, and called this informational bomb Tower of Babel. Which language is theirs? There is no earthly grammar of it. It's called Senzar, and we know about it from Mme B. books. But it's not a casual language: it is petroglyfic, sometimes, hieroglyfic, sometimes it contains letters. It reminds Japanese, huh? Yes, it does. They always loved Ainus, Samurais and Sakuras.

猿も木から落ちる。 (Saru mo ki kara ochiru) Literally: Even monkeys fall from trees.
Meaning: Everyone makes mistakes. / Nobody's perfect.
