The Serpentine Secrets of the Jomon Civilization

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

The sources investigate Japanese Dogu figurines, 14,000-year-old clay puppets with non-human features that some believe represent ancient aliens or deities encountered during the Quaternary Ice Age. These artifacts, along with the legends of Queen Himiko and her relationship with a snake god, suggest that the distinct patterns found on Jomon pottery and human tattoos represent an ancient "Covenant of the Human Serpent" shared by various global cultures. This mysterious history potentially links the Jomon people to indigenous groups in Africa, Taiwan, and New Zealand, hinting at a lost high-tech civilization that remains a "forbidden" area of study.
