The effect of these cataclysmic upheavals on Mankind

The first great cataclysm was the one ended the Golden Age and obliterated the high-tech civilisations that had existed before then, or perhaps destroyed them in stages. The extraterrestrial races either left the planet beforehand or survived at high altitudes or by going deep within the Earth.

The same with the later cataclysms. Many of the extraterrestrials, and most Earth humans could not have survived these natural disasters and the few that did were left with the job of starting all over again without benefiting from the original technology available before.

The survivors fell into two main categories, those of mostly extraterrestrial origin who retained the advanced knowledge, and humans, the slave race in general, who did not. The former also fell into two camps. There were those who wished to use their knowledge positively and communicate their information to humanity, and those who sought to hoard the knowledge and use it to manipulate and control. The struggle between those two groups over the use of the same knowledge continues to this very day.

As societies recovered from those upheavals of 11,000 BC, the other cataclysms brought more devastation over the thousands of years that followed and humanity was faced with many new beginnings. One common theme throughout, however, has been the manipulation of humanity by an intellectually, though not spiritually, advanced race or races of extraterrestrial origin.
