If Giants Were Worshipped

The Future of the Galaxy and the Planets began to unfold what seemed like a Metropolis hidden world that had been cloaked with an invisible shield for centuries. As the Earth wobbled on its proscenium axis 13,000 years in the future, Vega became the North Star. With the tilt occurrence the cosmic planet that sometimes produces a mirror Sun image, lost its protective barrier. The reason why their were so many storms, floods & fire became evident. Telescopes beamed unto the surface that revealed a world never seen before. Scientists gathered to discuss what truly was a enormous discovery that felt almost Apocalyptic. Images of people dressed in dark ages cloaks with Giants were carefully photographed by satellites. The evidence gathered by the researchers was handed over to the President in a folder labeled Top Secret. Leaning back in her Oval Office chair, she reviewed the documents. It became evident that a team of space explorers be sent to the strange world. She wasn’t the first Madam President, she was the thirty third, yet there was something mystical about her. Her features were compared to busts of the ancient Nefertiti as her high neck seemed transfixed at times to the Washington Monument. Highly respected she was as I was a student of Egyptology where I felt connected to her aspects. Blood tests can reveal certain DNA that can foretell a past life in burial contained nuclear residue found only with Royalties. How the traces of uranium/plutonium reincarnates if possible is unknown. The body of the Queen was never initially found. If it had been, she would most likely be inside a Queen’s chamber along with her King. A mummy that the Egyptian Antiquities claim could be her was found in 1898 in the Valley of the Kings tomb. The body was wrapped in resin soaked linen with missing garments & jewelry. Looters had robbed much of identifiable features, as she was named, the Younger Lady. DNA tests found she was a Mother Pharaoh. The wife of a Pharaoh had several children, as depicted in clay bas reliefs that portrayed the elongated heads that seemed to have evolved from alien beings. I thought about who I could have been if I existed when the North Star Thuban had Pyramids aligned to the Star. Studying the ancient texts of tomb pictures further, I came across one particular casket of wood with a painted portrait of a girl. It wasn’t royal looking, yet the face of the girl somewhat resembled me. She was one of many descendants, who too died young. The phone rang interrupting my thoughts as I heard the voice of someone stating that the President wanted to speak to me. We need an archeologist for the first mission to the planet.. I couldn’t believe I was talking to Madam President. I knew what planet she was referring to as the spear of its structure appeared like a opening in the sky over the vicinity of the Capital. The colors of the swirling mustard yellow & blue had the entire country watching while a panicked majority fled the area. I explained to her I was an alien archaeologist specialist, experienced in labeling & lecturing extraterrestrial artifacts found in craft crashes. I know you are not an astronaut, yet I found your reference when searching for a astronomer.. I have two degrees, one in archeology, one in astronomy, I explained. That is precisely why I think you are perfect for the assignment. How do you know that the surface is solid? It could be holographic, as some think it’s a computer animation. We’ve already sent drones that landed on a solid surface, bringing back samples while there are photos I can show you as well. I agreed to meeting her in person to view the evidence to take a closer look. I traveled lightly with my jet pack across the almost vacant city to the well guarded entrance to the futuristic White House. Being almost immediately ushered in, I was greeted by a few familiar faces. Well, if it isn’t the tomb raider herself.. Inside the house was a small party of loyal patriots & colleges I recognized from University lecturers. Okay Groundhogs show me the big boss. Right this way Miss.. A uniformed hand of a Marine opened the doors while whispering to the group..she always like Groundhog Day! A small roar of laughter, then I was standing inside the Oval Office.. Her desk was immaculately clean while her immense chair revolved around from her view of the window. It’s a pleasure to meet you. She shook my hand, encouraging me to have a seat at the makeshift table she arranged. Sitting across from me she showed me the photos of what had not been seen on the news. Alarming images of robed people carrying primitive torches were displayed. How good are you with Mid evil history? Her slim figure dressed in a eloquent knit suit questioned. Well I know they were suspicious of demons as the invention of a gothic Cathedral was believed to keep evil out. We haven’t found evidence of a Renaissance.. This society is prior to the Dark Ages having a world that displays their time period of robed druids & monks.. Showing a photograph of what appeared to be a Giant among them. What makes you think I am capable of venturing to a time period with creatures of this nature? You would be among a team of soldiers who need expertise in your field. I was about to turn her down when she told me the salary I would receive. It was quite a lot of money, enough to make me comfortable for some time. Think of the fame you would receive, your name written in history.. The following week I was riding in a capsule bound to the other world. Funny how I always imagined planet discovery would include communication to a receiver upon the world. This planet had no technology to do so. It felt so raw, like stepping into the unknown as my feet touched upon the surface of a pioneer terrain. The company of soldiers, male & female were silent as we stood under the trees in our uniforms. We sat on the ground making camp while I dined on a MRE. Offering more meal packets to the soldiers, they refused. It wasn’t long before I realized they were androids who required no food. Their was a radio I communicated to Madam President, informing her that she didn’t tell me the soldiers were, not humans. She explained it was safer since they can not be wounded or killed. One of them was the medic who like the others seemed human.. Yet he didn’t eat or drink water. We were about to try sleeping, if they slept, as the big sun set. They quietly sat on their gear seeming to shut down their bodies producing a low hum. Sleep upon a distant planet was something new to experience. Dreams of unfamiliar faces floated around me like spirits of the forest bearing trees scents of juniper & pine. I awakened suddenly to the sound of rumbling earth as panic filled our camp by our shuttle pod. The wind had picked up while my teammates were frantically picking up their gear. Then, there in the light of dawn stood the silhouette of a giant man wearing a flowing cape & helmet of a knight. He must have been at least 80 feet tall lurking down upon us like a Trojan warrior without the horse. His footsteps were heavy as he moved through the wind in our direction. Grabbing our packs we ran through the field towards a castle structure that stood upon a eroded hill. Crossing a mote of water we were let in an open door where guards worked quickly closing the protected barrier. Inside was another world with candles & brocade tapestries made by the simple folk who lived inside. The crowd was inquisitive enough to gather around us, inspecting our clothing while others danced to the sound of a lute. The language they spoke was erratic & unfamiliar, making communicating difficult. Up high there was a round window where I could see the giant off in the distance. Pointing to him I asked about his existence. One eager eyed man nodded yes, he knew while he took my hand leading me to another room. Pictures on the wall were painted in his image decorated in gold frames. Sculptures portraying his magnitude stood by an alter where he seemed to be worshipped. Monks in robes made the sign of the cross, praying to he who appeared to be their God. I think I understand I said gesturing with my eyes. The horn of a bugle sounded that called everyone to a dinner table where they led me a bench where a silver haired man sat. His hair was long & glistening in the beams of the sun streaming through the upper round window. He wore the clothing of a magistrate, bowing at ladies as they filtered around him. Offering me a leg of lamb & a cup of fish blood that I refused. The grains of rice they dished out was more to my liking. Taking out my canteen of water, I asked if they had some. The eager crowd who seemed a bit eccentric passed around my canteen, pouring the substance into clay cups to try. Laughing like children they brought out a pitcher of water that quenched my thirst. Burdock, the medic sat across from me. I think it’s natural enough, the mote outside runs into a river. He assured me although he couldn’t sample it. I looked around the room looking for the other members of my team, yet I couldn’t find them. Asking Burdock he scanned the room for familiar bionic life force rhythms. They can’t be far, i saw them come in. Although Burdock was an android, his facial hair seemed to be growing as I showed him with my compact mirror. Your in need of a shave.. Noticing his Brussels he couldn’t explain it. Androids don’t shave do they? No, it is puzzling. Maybe the air here is changing you. Staying here could make you human.. I feel a pit in my stomach area, is this what you call hunger? Yes it is, if you try eating, what would happen? I don’t know, my circuits aren’t organic.. I’m going to make a scan. Holding out a miniature sonogram scanner he examined his stomach. The screen revealed circuit wire inside with what appeared like a tube of growing intestine. I’ve never seen this before.. Along with the electrical interior, a human interior was taking place. I’m turning human! It’s ok, I will help you as emotion is part of being human.. (End of part 1 To be continued..)
