Legend of Lowe: an enigma resolved

Like the Setswana term mmantsiripane (see last week’s article), another that is employed casually, with people having no real sense of how ancient, profound and revealing it is, is the term ‘Lowe’.

It is used synonymously with ‘time immemorial’, the common phrase being “go tswa go Lowe (since even the time of Lowe)”. But if you ask a Motswana who or what Lowe was, you are likely to get only a blank stare. For those brave enough to hazard an answer, Lowe was the ancestor of all Batswana, or of all Africans, or of all people. Can this be true? No. Fortunately, science and legend have combined to reveal to me the most definitive answer of who, or what, ‘Lowe’ really was.

Now, if indeed there was once a common, global protolanguage we all spoke as recently as the Neolithic era, as Genesis 11 asserts and I have independently demonstrated in many articles, then surely it should help us unpack the mystery of Lowe. It does. I am the first person to discern that Loê (Lowe) is not a person; the name is a linguistic metathesis of ‘Leo’, the pivotal Age of the Lion (10800 to 8640 BC) that dawned soon after a major cataclysm – recalled in Genesis 8 as ‘the Flood’ – befell Earth. My own research affirms that the Flood occurred in 10983 BC, 183 years before the onset of Leo. How? Firstly, Earth exhibits two distinct motions: the tilt (obliquity) and the wobble, both being cyclical.

Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
