There was no way for you to know unless you routinely read the magazines containing these articles, or look for websites containing this information. Very few people do.
You are in many, varied and illustrious company once you begin to tally up all the other people who didn't know this either.

LOL thankyou Whisper so to reading it is.

I thought I would throw a little verse I wrote into the proceedings just to see what happens...

How could they be so wrong?
We've been here all along.
They think that we're the la-*test*-('") buzz.
But they're only here, because of us.

Oh, I love that poem.

It's cheeky but it has a lovely feel about it.

Yes, I too like it.

I think it is very intriguing how backwards they have it.

I find it amazing to be considered an invention of your creations.

I agree Lady C.
Though of course you would have to be careful where you say that kind of thing.
If you believe (as you obviously do) in the theory of The Source and the creation of all of us, and that the creation and evolution of humans came much later, then it is impossible for them to have invented the idea of us, when without us they would not exist.
However the belief for most humans is that they were made directly by God, in his own image, so they are already conditioned into this thinking before they even learn to talk. For the majority of them it would be impossible to give credence to any other belief system, let alone one where they are not the top of the evolutionary chain.

Well I would only say something like that here, because the humans here will have read most of the posts and know that many here believe that kin came long before humans.

It's recorded history in a lot of cases, though it depends on the nationality as to which kinds of creatures it is believe preceeded them of course.
Some examples of what I'm talking about include:
The Egyptians who had Crocodiles, Cats, Scarabs, eagles and Jackals.
The South American Native tribes who had Crocodiles, Firebirds, Condors and Jaguars.
The Chinese who had Dragons, and Sea Serpents along with their version of the Firebird.
North American and Canadian Native tribes who had Mountain Lions, Bears, Eagles and Wolves.
There are many others, but I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say.
All these creatures were worshipped as gods/godesses and given sacrificial offerings. They were given the glory of all creation and songs and stories about them were handed down to younger generations so they would never forget where they came from.
It would seem unnaceptable and disrespectful to these people to worship only one God. How would you know you were worshipping the right one? Or that the ones you weren't worshipping weren't going to get mad and take revenege?
Religion was a complicated business then, you had to make sure that all your deities were worshipped equally or you ran the risk of a bad harvest, earthquakes, floods, dying livestock, plagues and any number of other naturally occuring problems.

You mean that you think we were gods back then?

Cool!

I don't think any of us were Gods Obsidian, but I do think that to the humans of the time the things we could do, and the knowledge we had must have made us seem like Gods to them. With their limited understanding of how the universe worked, anything that was advanced in technology, knowledge and experience would have appeared incredible to them.
Though of course unlike the modern times we live in now, where anything incredible must be experimented on, disected, and examined in minute detail in order to be better understood, in those days they worshipped and left offerings for the things they could not comprehend.
I am not in the least bit Goddesslike, and yet if you put me in a cave with pre-historic man along with a lighter, a gun and a piano I can place a fairly confident bet that they would be worshipping me within the hour, and I can't even play the piano that well!

In the end it all comes down to perception. Not how we perceive our selves either then or now, but how we are perceived by others.
Then as beings of higher power.
Now as figures of fun and objects of malice and hatred. (All because we are misunderstood and incomprehensible.)

Todays reaction to miraculous things seems to be fear and that leads to the destruction of whatever scares them. That makes sense to me though, because the only way to feel safe from something that scares you is make it so it isn't there anymore. If it's gone, it can't hurt you.
Things seem to have been much more easily accepted as miraculous in the olden times. Perhaps because people had mre faith, or perhaps because they had less education and so didn't question things as much.
