What If Humans Were Immortal?

What if humans can live forever? Will the world be the same? Of course not.

The idea of immortality is to unveil the advantages humans can have from the historical context. The world would be a place much advanced as compared to today.

The concept of collecting material goods for the sake of the fulfillment of your desires is pointless as if it is for wealth and unlimited luxurious lifestyle. Your purposes of living might change with the thought of immortality. The daily schedule of work may change your life.

How pleasant does it sound? Pretty amazing, right? Yet we are unaware of our strength and capabilities because of the desire to store an unlimited amount of money in our bank accounts.

We have come this far where we can interact with others through global channels. The development of digital devices and technological advancements have connected humans through online platforms.

With such advanced technologies and traveling spacecraft, why not think about the chances of decoding the hidden knowledge of the world.

Our ancestors had more vigorous knowledge about the world and space than us. We have failed while gathering valuable information from our ancestors.

The Lost City:

Atlantis is one of the oldest cities known to have the most advanced scientific knowledge. Famous writers and philosophers mention the details of the lost city in their books. Such as Plato talks about Atlantis in his Socratic dialogues The Republic.

Atlantis was on the riverside with a circular structure maintaining all the crucial works in the center of the city. The people of Atlantis were more advanced in science than us.

Only if we were immortal, we could know more about that ancient place that is buried somewhere on the earth that we have not yet found.

The Secrets of Egyptians:

Looking back at history, I sometimes feel that the people before the 10th century A.D were more intelligent and aware of the surroundings. It makes me feel sad that the current generation is running only for the capitalistic world.

Only if we were immortal, we might retain the ancient secrets that our ancestors hid for us in places like Egypt, where the tablets contain enough information to guide us. They knew about the solar system and planets at a time when they do not have spacecraft.

How did they get all the information about the solar system?

The crafting on one of the ancient Sumerian tablets depicts the planets surrounding the sun. It is quite astonishing that thousands of years ago people knew much more than we do today, but how? The question remains unanswered.

Only if we were immortal, we might know the hidden secrets in the world.

Ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, and ancient Greece hold so much information that we are unable to decode. The same goes for the tablets found in Egypt containing a distinct language that we have not fully discovered.

Pyramids across the world:

Only if we were immortal, we would know the purpose of hundred of pyramids built all over the world. Homo sapiens are unaware of the functions of these pyramids and the structuring of it as well.

How can the pyramids all over the world look alike?

There was no means of transportation except on foot that can take years to travel from one continent to another, so how did the information regarding similar structuring of pyramids reach people at that time.

Only if we were immortal, then our ancestors would have helped us in discovering the hidden knowledge stored within the earth’s lands and oceans.

What about our instincts and intuitions? Many of us have a natural tendency, through which we can tell about the upcoming events or emotions, yet we have not fully mastered it. Our souls know so much that we must take it out from our unconscious minds, but how? All the mystery is still unknown.

Only if we were immortal, we might be living a distinct life may be on another planet with the help of our ancestor’s enlightened knowledge.
