repost on the Samal People and Giants



Samal Island, or PU located in Davao Gulf  indeed had a very long history. In the ancient of times it had been said (partly read from researches by UP Prof. Fe Mangahas)  the island was once inhabited by giants called the Dinagat. These giants were abusive for they would raid villages (most likely along mainland Davao) and steal, vandalize (like defecating on their kitchen), and kidnap women and made sex slaves. Babies out of such abuse that were born giants were assimilated, those that remained human-size were rejected and separated with the kidnapped women to be their slaves.

The humans, fed up with the abusive giants, gathered together to device ways on how to get rid of them. They decided to deceive the giants by sending them delectable foods laden on a small boat. the giants upon seeing the boat, surmised it as offering of submission by the tiny humans and that the humans had finally conceded to their "superiority." The food however, was laced with poison.



The Dinagats only allowed all their fellow giants to partake of the food and prohibited human-sized slaves and the kinapped women to partake of the feast whom they treated as inferior class. All the giants were ultimately killed, except for the human-sized slaves, now Free. Thus the survivors called themselves "Samal," which said to be meant as dregs, or left-over.






However, there were indeed accounts of first-hand witnesses (local inhabitants, construction workers, treasure hunters) who discovered skeletal remains in Samal. Most of these discovered remains were stolen and unaccounted for. Even foreign scientists investigated the phenomenon. but mediocre nartional historical authorities (as they had, until recently, ignored the role of Mindanao legacy in mainstream history lessons ) outrightly dismissed these priceless gems of local history that could otherwise spell the difference to the dysfunctional state of this oligarch-dominated state and society.

Even the Sama's creation myth is very old, and eerily similar with the myths of the ancient Sumerians (Abraham's father was a Sumerian priest) supposedly the oldest civilization in the World, according to western historians that is. It was also intriguing that the bible mentioned about such giants most probably borrowed from Sumerian accounts, known as Nephilims, borne of angel (read: Extraterrestrial) and human parents.

Inanna

I recently discovered that the Sumerian artifact posted from the previous blog was the image of the Sumerian goddess Inanna.



Inanna, according to Sumerian account was given dominion over the Indus Valley region (now presently located in Pakistan, but the region had been very prominent in ancient Hindu narratives). Akkadians and Babylonians called her Ishtar. In ancient times she was addressed as Queen of Heaven. Although she was not considered a "mother goddess," she headed a long line of female deities identified with feritlity of the natural world. The Babylonians however, call Ishtar as "High-Mother-Goddess."



Could it be possible that the Tagalog words Ina and the Visayan Inahan, which means "mother," originated from the Sumerian goddess Inanna?

ancient Sumerian links?


I read before in a newspaper article that some of the earliest settlers in the country arrived in the shores of Southern Mindanao and landed particularly in the present municipality of Palembang, Sultan Kudarat (Palembang was also the name of the capital city of the ancient Sri-Vijayan empire based in Sumatra, Indonesia)sometime in the 5th century. This was somehow reconfirmed by this report that I read a while ago wherein stolen artifacts were discovered that could lead to a lost tribe:

Artifacts discovery may lead to lost tribe

However, I find the faces of these anthropomorphic artifact intriguing:



As anyone may notice it seemed to have striking similarity, particularly with the distinct "eyebrow" pattern, with that of an ancient Sumerian artifact:






Not surprisingly, I had once read about the creation mythology of another indigenous group, the Samal tribe in Davao hours away from the find but still south of Mindanao, having similarity with the creation mythology of the ancient Sumerians. Ancient stories also narrate about a certain giant race known as the "Dinagat" that once inhabited Samal Island. But these giants were rude and bullying, and would often raid neighboring mainland villages, stealing and violating their women. The giants were eventually eliminated by the opressed villagers by drifting a boatload of poisoned food, in retaliation for their offenses. Skeletal remains of these giants were said to be discovered in some parts of the island, but some of these were looted through the years. These reminded of the biblical giants of yore that were offsprings of nephilims, part 'god' and part humans. It is evident that biblical accounts borrowed their sources from ancient Sumerian knowledge.

The Sumerians were considered to be the oldest yet strangely advanced civilization that existed in the Fertile crescent (present day areas in Iraq) during the post-deluvian era (after the Flood). The father of biblical Abraham (his name was changed from Abram after converting to monotheism, supposedly from the Sanskrit word "Brahma") was a Sumerian priest. The Sumerian civilization mysteriously vanished thousands of years ago.
