The fear of death is most common of all phobias we know. No one wants to die. To imagine death is worst punishment one can ever give. History has seen many heroes abandoning their quests just because they feared death. People may spend their fortune on treatments without guarantees of 100% recoveries. Now question arises, if death is so dreadful then why it is so common?

Death rides following reasons:

* Hunger: This factor is a major cause of deaths in poorer nations. There are many organizations working to free food distribution process from bureaucracy but a lot of work still needs to be done.

* Accidents: These are mainly caused to negligence and carelessness. In this high-tech convergent world everyone is busy with his personal bunch of gizmos, unaware of precautionary measures. This carelessness isn’t safe. In nutshell, people are just too busy.

* Wars: This is most shameful aspect of human species. Wars can be avoided and with them million of deaths. Only some social engineering is needed. Governments spend most of their GDP on defense research. This money can be put into more useful bio-researches leading to fewer diseases and lower mortality rate.

* Natural disasters: The inevitable factor. At present we can only predict but can not prevent natural disasters. We are left at mercy of our so called Mother Earth unless we colonize other planets.

* Ageing: Evolution made humans mortal. Our bodies are just here to reproduce and nurture our kids to a level where they can reproduce. Then, biologically, our bodies become worthless – Telomeres have to shed its size. They are not required by evolutionary process anymore, so we die.

* Diseases: Survival of fittest. Charles Darwin gave world this famous theory. It implied that we survive to be fit. And if we’re diseased we cannot be fit. When those tiny pathogenic agents attack our body we fall sick. This is because they are genetically fitter than, us, mighty humans. Our bodies were not made to fight these agents and we fall prey to their attack. There are two ways to attack disease. Either change our bodies (genome) to be able to fight or hinder functioning of agents or eliminate them. Either way it is difficult so, presently, we are left with our sickening genome which we are unable to edit. Its mutation is left to evolution alone.

ARTIFACT DESCRIPTION: a) Weight – two and one half pounds b) Composition – electrum – 80% gold We need to have a thorough analysis of composition that hopefully will provide clues as to when it was made. c) Symbology – There are marks behind or near eye hole(s) that face fits snuggly into. There are horns at top and a handle at bottom. The amorphous shapes on face of mask are intentionally made to be seen as different animistic demons or forms which is in line with Bes and earlier origins of Bes Egyptian representative deity. Bes and Loki are both tricksters and horns might speak to Cernunnos or other horned gods that are of same continuum due to travels of Kelts or Olmecs and their Brotherhood. Shamans seek to project visions to ritual participants in their dances or performances. Often there were mind-altering drugs or ecstatic dances involved. The mutable nature of face of this mask suggests any viewer might witness their own personal spirit guide or demon and elemental of their belief system pantheon. d) Collateral artifacts – The large lipped Negroid features on some lithics that resemble Guatemalan and La Venta artifacts are instructive and might indicate mask comes from same people who were in that part of world. The Cherokee calendar and Mayan system are similarly instructive. The lions and giraffes or other non-indigenous American fauna would indicate these travelers were in North Africa. This could be Figuig who came in 500 AD or any number of other migrations long before likes of Juba and his Ptolemy family arrived once Rome was building an Empire they cared not to participate in. We feel it is likely that our artifacts are far earlier than Empire and we are eager to see professional work done to establish dates that should be in line with early dating of Poverty Point in 4000 BCE if not earlier. However we must rule out Melungeons or pre-Columbians like those who might have left Bat Creek artifacts. The Tennessee skeletons of pygmies might be connected if we find harmonics is technology used in making symbols that are almost microscopic.
