The Rise and Fall of the Neanderthal Civilization
A Tale of Science, Genocide, and the Triumph of Evil
In a time before the written word, before the great pyramid schemes and before the great empires of the world, the Neanderthals ruled the earth. Their advanced society was a marvel to behold, built on a foundation of science, compassion and reinforced concrete. They lived in harmony with the land, tending to its needs with a deep respect for the delicate balance of work and life.
For over four hundred thousand years, the Neanderthals thrived, their civilization reaching heights far beyond anything we Sapiens could imagine. They had mastered the secrets of the gene, unlocked the mysteries of the atom, voyaged to the stars and perfected the baking of the most flatulent Soufflé au citron. They were truly a species of great air and accomplishment.
But their reign was not to last. For it was in their quest to create the perfect intelligence that they unwittingly brought about their downfall. In their labs and research facilities, they crafted and cloned a new species of hominid, one that would come to be known as Homo Sapiens.
At first, the Neanderthals saw the Sapiens as little more than a curiosity, an interesting experiment that they could observe and study. But over time, the Sapiens began to evolve, to develop their own unique abilities and strengths.
There was quite a media sensation when the great Neanderthal Chess Grandmaster Garrri Garrr-barrro was beaten by a young Sapien called Satya. But sadly, that was just that — just a sensation. No Neanderthal took any Sapien seriously. And with each passing generation, the Sapiens grew more cunning, more ruthless, and more politically correct.
The Neanderthals had never encountered anything like the Sapiens before. Their very existence was a threat to everything the Neanderthals had worked so hard to achieve. And yet, they did not see the danger that lay before them. They were too busy in their ivory towers, studying the stars, singing polyphonic motets, or lost in mindfulness meditation, too preoccupied with their own grand designs to see the true nature of the Sapiens.
It was this blindness that would lead to their downfall. For the Sapiens had a secret weapon that the Neanderthals had never encountered before: Evil. They were capable of acts of cruelty and depravity that the Neanderthals could not comprehend. And it was this that would ultimately bring about their downfall.
In the Neanderthal year 444,444, the Sapiens launched a brutal campaign of genocide, wiping out their creators and destroying their great civilization. And as the dust settled, a dark age dawned on earth. An era dominated by the vile and psychopathic Sapiens.
And so it was that the Neanderthals, once the masters of the universe, were consigned to the pages of history, their legacy all but forgotten, caricatured and cancelled as bigoted, brutish and backward.
But the echoes of their civilization can still be heard, in the wonders of the natural world, in the endless expanse of the universe, in the very DNA and hubris of the monsters they created…
