of Cibolan River, Natives in America, and "Golden City"



Down south of the sprawling, modern-day city of Davao, near a famous brewery factory, the body of water that the Bagobo People** so venerated in their historical legacy (see other blog), Cibolan River laid melodiously across the bridge along a concrete national highway. Its (threatened) crystal-clear waters continually gush among stone boulders as it did for thousands of years, seemingly ambivalent in the midst of modernity that had crept upon it with pedestrians and motorists criss-crossing naively and in some occasions ringing with the laughter of local children enjoying its waters.



However, Cibolan River (presently known as Sibulan) was not much known among the recent generations of locals for its profound role as narrated by the Bagobo peoples**. Instead, it is presently caught in controversy between opposing hydropower
and water utility companies fighting for its water resources. Other than these, the typical locals knew not much of the river except for water tubing adventures and scenic trails for their mainstream history lessons never told them about it.

Today, I exchanged IM's (instant message) with another fellow from pinoyexchange.com thread. He provided links about the topic we had been discussing and the word "Cibola" got my attention. then it led me to the probable link between Cibolan River, that intriguingly led me to the Native Americans, particularly with the Aztecs and their legendary "golden city" of Cibola, the fabled city that Spanish conquistador Cortez attempted to seek but never found, immortalized by Edgar Allan Poe as the "El Dorado," and the ancient continent of MU!

The word "Cibola" made me recall what the ancient Bagobo narrative had stated:

"So two by two the children of the first couple left the land of their birth. In the place where each settled a new people developed, and thus it came about that all the tribes in the world received their names from things that the people carried out of Cibolan, or from the places where they settled."

The Bagobos could be right! From Mt. Apo in Davao, Mindanao and across the vast Pacific Ocean, in the America's, the ancient Native Americans may have remembered their olden ancestry just as the Bagobo's had mentioned! They still remembered the ancient name of Cibolan that the Bagobo's implied where they originated, and were somehow "right" in claiming the fabled place was located north of Mexico for referring to the recent map of legendary MU, its portion in the America's were once connected to the north of Mexico!

Here now is the connection that the fabled seven gold cities or the seven islands of Cibola (supposedly traced back to the islands Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, Philippines, New Guinea and the Malay Peninsula that were said to be remnants of the lost continent of MU), so awesome in legendary fame from among the native American Indians, may be linked with the legendary continent of MU and its ancient legacy remembered by the name of the ancient Cibolan River in the foothills of Mt. Apo, Davao that sprang from the tumultous chapter of the sinking of the ancient continent in the geological phenomenon of Subduction. From the remnant island of Mindanao, Cibolan River emerged from which the Bagobo People claimed that ALL of the World's tribes (American Indians included!) originated and whose name their offsprings would still remember, and they did!

The name Cibola was said to be originated from the Dravidan word civ-pola, meaning "golden city" or "city of reds."


"Golden City" is one of the many names of ancient Lemuria!


Cibolan River may have been named to remind of the ancient motherland of MU (Lemuria)!


The ancient Cibolan River located south of the bustling modern city of Davao, known by the locals for its crystal clear waters, water tubing, controversy between power and water utility companies, and otherwise seemingly obscure fame, may soon hold the key to the unveiling mysteries not just of our country's, but Humanity's ancient Past!
