Transition

Before the end of the 16th century, the Lusung kingdom had been colonized by the West although the specific Sambali area where Mt. Pinatubo is located was largely covered with forest growth at this time, and was fiercely guarded by Aeta and Sambal peoples.

The spread of Islam to the north had been stopped but just barely. We won't explore what happened to the old kings of the mountain, but instead will investigate how the Dragon and Bird Clan influenced the world of prophecy and messianism in much of the world.

But first we will recap the historical outline we have presented here. Then after the section of prophecy we will have an epilogue bringing us to present times after which the narrative portion of this blog will be completed. From that point, I will compile as extensive a glossary as my time permits of the symbology, archetypes, myths, artifacts and other evidence presented here, as well as some not yet presented. Also, periodic news briefs related to this blog well be posted. I will also try to arrange the blog into one easy-to-read and ordered pdf file for download, hopefully with some interesting new images.

Let's start off with a timeline of some the events suggested here (approximate dates):
