So you do have some knowledge of Man's previous belief systems/religions/mythos/ancient sciences? I'm not asking you to believe them just to not ignore them and make the mistake of appeal to novelty.
I'm not going to insult you by pretending that any part of that had even a semblance of relevance to anything I said. All I will say is if you think you have anything to substantiate this stuff - by which I mean anything credible, sufficient and compelling - please, present it and I'm sure we all will give it such consideration as it deserves. All that's required is that you not feel slighted if and/or when the evidence doesn't actually evidence what you think it does.
