Chariot Radiation (Wheels of bronze: 2000 BC).
The first wave of charioteers, which develop the ‘cyclical, bronze wheel’, a more complex form than the lineal sword, starts around ±2000 BC. A worldwide invasion of Indo-Europeans with chariots from the northern planes destroys all civilizations. It is the extinctive age of Sumerian cultures, when Genesis and the parable of the tree of science and its go(l)den apples, understood by the verbal masters of the age, is written. Charioteer Hordes conquer Sumer and Akkad. The first Hittites empires appear. In Egypt, it means the end of the old empire and the beginning of the Middle Kingdom.
A proof of the Paradox of History -the fact that with less weapons life is better- is Crete: There, charioteers cannot arrive due to geographical conditions (it is an island). So in Crete there is a continuity of a culture based in human, life-enhancing goods that becomes the richest, most sophisticated civilization of this age. Meanwhile, the radiation of Charioteer Hordes erases Eastern cultures. From 1500 till 1000 BC. in the first Veda Period, nomadic, chariot Aryans and their sacred cows conquer India, imposing a brutal system of racism (castes), against Neolithic farmers. While, the old culture of Goddesses and fertile rivers survives longer in the South. Charioteers also founded about 1500 BC, the S’hang dynasty in China, degrading and partially assimilating the Tao culture of the living Universe, proper of Neolithic China. Yet in the south, the depth and richness of the Chinese Neolithic (fully grown and densely populated by the II millennium BC), allows the Tao culture of the Organic Universe to survive and flourish till about 300 BC., when the Ch’in dynasty brings iron weapons and forbids all non-technological books under death penalty. Then the wisdom of Taoism that understood so well the dual nature of the Organic Universe and its Yin-Yang beings, will be lost at philosophical level. Though it will inform the basic arts of classic China. Thus, China proves again that less metal allows more complex human thought. China alone among all Eurasian cultures shows, still today, a clear comprehension of the organic nature of human societies; and for that reason it is the most successful culture of mankind in terms of survival.
Meanwhile in the West, metal-masters keep simplifying human verbal cultures. Words become alphabets and Legal Codes that curtail the freedoms of human beings.
