I
am editing a web-magazine about the South Pacific, and during
my research on the ancient statues on the islands I discovered
that some of them had six fingers. And to my surprise: So
had ancient statues all over the world! |

To
have six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot is
called polydactylism, and is common in ancient texts and art.
But is it just folklore, or did this phenomena exist? And
why have we not learnt about it in school - why is it like
the archaeologists are trying to keep this interesting fact
a secret? Luckily, we today have the internet where we can
share information, - so let's us together try to find the
truth! I believe the answer might be very interesting
- and even important. Without knowing the whole truth about
the past we might not have a future we can trust!
The
statues
Stone cannot be carbon dated, so it is often impossible to
tell how old ancient statues made of stone are. And often
the stories about them are forgotten or changed. Missionaries
have destroyed many of the statues, to get rid of what for
them represented ungodly ceremonies and believes. Wars have
taken its toll, the victorious worries often torn their enemy's
identity and culture apart. And archaeologists have stowed
ancient statues away in dusty storage-rooms in the museums,
to make room for new exhibitions - or get them out of sight.
Yes, they might even have been ordered to do so by the authorities.
Governments don't want stories that can shake or change the
history we know; it might have national and international
implications.
The giants
The
phenomena with six finger and toes very often goes hand in
hand with texts and stories about giants: Like Goliath in
the Bible - he had six fingers and toes! And take a look at
the statues you find on the islands in the Pacific - most
of them have gigantic proportions. Did the makers of the statues
in that way try to keep the memory of their gods, gods that
to them were very real? Did it in fact exist beings looking
like us humans, but that were 8-12 feet (2.4-3.6 meters) tall
and had six fingers and toes (to read my webpages about
the giants - click here)?
The extraterrestrials
From the Bible we have learnt that God lives in heaven. A
theological heaven. But when we try to learn more about the
old statues we find that not only were many of the ancient
gods often giants with six fingers and toes
- they too lived in heaven. But not a theological heaven -
they came from outer space. The stars.
The questions
Why do we so often find ancient statues with six fingers and/or
toes?
Have the giants really lived, and if so; why don't we find
bones after them?
Does the authorities really try to hide the true story of
our ancient past?
Has outer space anything to do with this - do we come from
the stars?
Or is the simple truth that the stories about the six fingered
giants and gods are nothing but fantasies and fairytales?
Come on folks - send me facts, pictures and theories!

My
name is Terje "Terry" Dahl, and I am a Norwegian
citizen. I have sailed single-handed to the Pacific and lived
several years on an atoll in the remote country of Tuvalu.
I have a keen interest in the old culture of the South Pacific,
and I also like to keep an open mind to the ancient mysteries
of our world. And luckily for me: These two topics very often
blend! |
