Summary
Stan Gooch: Neanderthal Culture: Guardians of Ancient Wisdom
Contrary to today's theories, the author claims that the younger Cro-Magnon culture did not destroy the Neanderthals, but that the two cultures merged into one through interbreeding. The merging of the completely different influences of the lunar, matriarchal Neanderthals and the solar, patriarchal Cro-Magnons explains the contradictory urges and influences that have caused human conflict for millennia. The unsettling power attributed to the number thirteen, the positive influence of the number seven, and even the origins of Jewish kosher laws point to the continuing presence of our oldest ancestors: the Neanderthals. There are indications that direct descendants of the Neanderthal race, which worshiped the moon and nurtured dreams, still live in Central Asia today. Although their physical descendants may be nearly extinct, the influence of Neanderthal wisdom has been present throughout history among witches, Kabbalists, Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, and even Christianity and Judaism.
