The 7 cycles of war.

We talk in fact of 7 sub-cycles divided by great eras of war. Each war age is defined by a new weapon. In the next graph we can see those 6 Weapons that destroyed Human civilizations, as they multiplied, and spread across the planet:

"The evolution of weapons cause the extinction of civilizations in ages of World Wars. "

Let us consider those great cycles of War and its civilizations in the Historic record:

Bronze Civilizations: Lineal Bronze starts the first empires recorded in History. In ±2850 BC: the first Bronze sword armies appear, taking to power, God-pharaohs and Semite Lugals. Egypt becomes unified. History registers the first Mesopotamian Empires. We consider the arrival of Bronze, probably in Egypt, the beginning of the Paradox of History [Max. Metal Goods=Minimal human goods]. Rhetoric, epic art to the service of power starts also with palaces and tombs, such as the pyramids. And yet for most humans life did not improve, as they were enslaved by warriors and worked in those huge monuments to the arrogance of man. In fact in those cultures where bronze weapons arrived latter, human goods, and sensorial pleasures develop more.

For example in the Indus without metal abundance, the quality of housing was the highest in old civilizations. Then it plummets after Aryan charioteers invade India. Aryans only improve architecture in “palaces” and “death tombs”. Also in Egypt, only as the initial wave of warriors recedes, we see the end of Pyramid construction, and a higher quality of life for the common people (VI dynasty). Tombs now are smaller, full of lively drawings of animals and farmers; and priests regain power over warrior kings, promoting the reproduction of food, and human goods.

Chariot Civilizations (Wheels of bronze). It is the age of the Middle Empire, in classic historiography. The first wave starts around ±2000 BC: A World wide invasion of Indo-Europeans with chariots from the northern planes destroy all civilizations. It is the extinctive phase of Sumerian cultures, when Genesis is written, and the parable of the tree of science, understood by the most intelligent verbal artists of the age. Charioteer Hordes conquer Sumer and Akkad. The first Hittites empires appear. In Egypt it signifies the end of the old empire and the beginning of the Middle Kingdom.

A clear prove of the Paradox of History, of the fact that where less weapons there are, better is life, is Crete: There the charioteers cannot arrive due to geographical conditions (a sea island). So in Crete there is a continuity of a culture based on human goods, that makes of Crete the richest, most sophisticated civilization of the west in this age.

The same radiation of Charioteer Hordes will erase the Eastern cultures. From 1500 till 1000 BC. in the first Veda Period, nomadic chariot Aryans and its “sacred cows” conquer India, impose a brutal metal-racism (castes), against Neolithic Goddesses, women, and the poor. The old culture survives longer in the South.

Charioteers also found the Shia dynasty in China, degrading and partially assimilating the Tao culture of the living Universe proper of Neolithic China. In China, the chariot arrives perhaps, after transferring its weapons to Mongolian tribes (about 1500 BC, Shang dynasty). The depth and richness of the Neolithic (fully grown and densely populating the South by the V millennia BC), allows the Tao-Neolithic culture of the sentient Universe to survive partially. But the Ch'in dynasty and its radiation of iron weapons forbids all non-technological books under death penalty about 300 BC. Then the wisdom of Taoism that understood so well the dual nature of the Organic Universe, and its Yin-Yang beings will be lost at philosophical level. Though it will inform the basic arts of classic China.

China proves again that less metal allows more complex human thought. China alone among Eurasian nations preserves the dual linguistic essence of the human wor[l]d: a verbal language, and a visual expression of the game of Energy-Information on its writing words. But in the west, verbal thought is simplified in Cananean civilizations, coming from Egypt (Hycsos?), with a proto-alphabet that reduces writing to a few verbal symbols.

Iron Civilizations (about 1200 BC). The Germanic people (Celtic hordes) start mass production of iron swords. Again the chain reaction of war and destruction starts, with warrior waves that move west to Iberia and east to Greece and Asia. Its is the age of the Great Invasions of “People of the Sea”. Ramses II and III fight invaders but can't prevent the collapse of the Middle Empire in Egypt. Also the Hittite Empire collapses. Hittites flee and teach Assyrians the use of iron.

In 1150; the Dorians destroy Micenas. And again where the Dorians do not arrive, (Peninsular Athens, coastal Turkey) the Greek civilization of Cretan tradition flourishes and gives birth to the best cultures of the Iron discontinuum.

Cavalry Civilizations (600 BC - 400 AD). Around 560 BC the first Cavalry Radiations take place carried by the Scythians that pass the technique to Indo-Europeans. They destroy all the Classic empires of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Around 539-525 BC. the Persians destroy the Assyrian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian Empires, but copy their systems of military repression. As a consequence of better cavalry grounds, and iron metallurgy, from now on metal history displaces its center of gravity from verbal Empires on the crescent fertile ruled by Semite [S]words and Go[l]ds (Assur, God of war; Baal Go[l]d of trade) towards Northern Aryan tribes (Rome, Master of war; Greece master of “Coins”). The dominance of the social Wor[l]d is substituted by the dominance of the individualistic I=eye. Good and Evil, verbal values, are substituted by beauty and ugliness, which are values of light perception.

In the age of Iron, the Greeks introduced coins which ended the dominance of bartering in trade (verbal, Semite traditions), and started digital accountancy. The higher complexity of coins and iron will prove irresistible. It is the expansive age of Indo-European empires, that now use metal species in a far more efficient manner to impose restrictions of freedom to the people, taxed in coins, and levied to serve the armies of the metal master. Systems of “total” war, that only Assyria had essayed before, now become natural to entire empires, which summon up all the previous metal-advances (horses, iron, mathematical war analysis), into the Total Army, with infantry (Phalanx), cavalry, war Machines and logistics (Macedonian and Roman Empires).

The new age in which iron and mathematical languages, through coin accountancy becomes dominant is felt by prophets of the Wor[l]d as a fundamental regression of Human Ethics. The word denounces that decadence, and praises social evolution and love. Such verbal reaction gives birth to the highest prophets of love of mankind (Lao, Plato, Buddha, cycles of Jewish prophets that culminate with Christ). Some of them talk of the end of the “Jen Age” in wor[l]ds of Confucius: the age of Human harmony and Love.

Around 400 BC, the radiation of iron reaches massive size with the great Celtic Invasions; that transfer her weapons to Rome. Rome becomes an empire of iron, Coins and mathematical war. So happens in China with the Chin and Han dynasties that unify the nation after massive massacres (6 million dead).

Cavalry Age. The Middle Ages. Stirrup=horse Radiation. (400 AD, 1200 AD). The Huns, Nomad warriors able to shoot with arrow bows while galloping, thanks to the stirrup -discovered probably in Korea- and the Germans who add iron protections, annihilate the Roman-Christian Empire of Human Goods, plummeting once more the standards of life of mankind. Around 317-589, the Huns break China between North and South into sixteen warrior kingdoms, controlled by Huns and Turks. In 430 History registers the invasion of India by the White Huns. Their civilization is built around the “horse man” that sees himself “higher” than the rest of humans, just because he is mounted into his horse... So much human arrogance. Barbarians crass the level of Human Goods of Roman Europe, but slowly they become converted to social love by the Christian Oikoumene religion.

The verbal age of Christianity, once the Aryans are “civilized”, returns to Europe (High middle age) in a society based on ethics. In Italy and Spain, priests of Islam and Christ had more power, that its warrior allies, and allowed a new age of human goods and art. They initiate the Renaissance, and the culture of Al-Andalus, the summit of the two main religions of mankind, Islam and Christianity. Both flourish before the radiation of gunpowder, annihilates this re-birth of human sensory, ethical, and artistic cultures. Those final days of social religions left the great cathedrals, optimistic buildings full of light, looking upwards to God, built by the collective effort of the people that, unlike the Romanic churches no longer fear the violence of barbarians. Gothic cathedrals seem to confirm a wealthy mode of life in the lower middle ages with less wars. Population doubles in Europe; cities grow. In the Eastern World the old cultures of the sentient Universe (Taoism and Buddhism) reach a new apogee (Gupta, Song empires).

Gunpowder Civilizations (1200 AD, 1945). Unfortunately the Chinese Taoists discover gunpowder. Mongols learn its technique in the assault of Beijing, spreading its use to the western world. In 1204 the looting of Byzantium by the Venetians opens the East to Italians who soon will have the first cannons, the “lombardas”. In 1222 the Mongols defeat the Russians in Kalka and invade Germany. Soon gunpowder is known to German people. In 1258 Hulagu massacres Baghdad. It is the end of the Muslim Empire. In Europe the gunpowder wave soon explodes into massive civil wars, of which the 100 years war, is the most well known. It brings poverty, and scarcity of Human Goods, that provoke massive famines and allows the expansion of the black Pest, that multiplies death among Human being.
Digital Civilizations

In 1945 the last cycle starts, the cycle of computer-researched weapons, that brings first Atomic weapons, based in pure light energy. It is a new threshold of weapons evolution that opens for the first time in History the possibility of the extinction of our species by massive explosions of atomic weapons.

The cycle of life of civilizations: the three Ages Of Universal organisms.

We have described to you in a simple manner the life cycle of a historic organism, that resembles very closely the life cycle of any other cellular organism.

Thus amazing as it seems we have an easy scheme to show history an art in a temporal museum. The civilization is born, matures, enters an age of decadence, and then a war happens, and a new civilization conquers the old civilization, destroys it and starts a fresh.

Before we do that, we want now to relate each of those 3 ages of organisms, to their visual form, so important to understand the ages of art, the mind of civilizations. Look at young people, mature people and old people. How do you distinguish them? Because they have different form and energy. Life is a cycle that goes from a young age of energy to an old age of in-form-ation. And so do civilizations in their life cycle.

In Biology we say that all species go through three ages:

The energy-youth age, or first age when energy is more abundant.

The mature age of balance, when the species reproduces.

The third age of the species known as the baroque, informative, or extinctive age in civilizations. It is reached when energy is scarce, but information is abundant, because of its accumulation during the first ages.

Look at humans. Old people have a lot of information drawn in to their wrinkles and minds, but little energy. Young people have a lot of energy but less information. Mature people have both energy and information; between 30 and 40 humans are at their prime.

This also happens to civilizations and cultures. Between birth and death by war radiation, the culture goes in its artistic and cultural manifestations through a young, simple; a mature, classic; and a baroque, third age of art.

In fact we can study those 3 ages in basic organisms of the Universe.

What it matter most to us, in this book on a bio-logical analysis of art history is the form of each of those ages. We know such form instinctively because energy is spatial, physical, and information is formal, cyclical, like the cycles of a clock or a computer, or the complex forms of a chip or a book.

So each age participates of those morphological characters.

For example, young people are full of energy. They are in the Energy horizon of the species. They are bigger, have little temporal knowledge. They are simple in form. While Old people are full of information. They are in the information horizon of the species. They are smaller, have a lot of temporal knowledge. They move little, and have a lot of wrinkles.

Finally mature people, have such perfection and balance between the two elements of the organic universe, between its content of energy-space, and temporal information, that they can reproduce the entire being, in all its components. Hence the second age is the age of reproduction. Its forms are 'wave' forms, realist forms, combination of lines and cycles, the more complex forms, the most efficient forms. So in all species the mature, realistic, classic age of balance, or reproductive age, is the most perfect age. And human beings intuitively see that. We like spiral galaxies, mature people, realist art, which is called classic art...

Let us then consider our hypothesis of work and consider history as the total societiy of human individuals, whose, art, the collective mind of his neuronal human beings, has gone too through 3 ages, as cultures are born, mature and become extinguished.

Art, the collective mind of those civilizations, reflect in its styles and ideas, those 3 ages of the social organism. As a result we can observe a parallelism between the different phases of art in any given civilization, in the same manner we can compare the attitudes and reactions of individuals of similar ages:

Art is the collective mind of civilizations. As individual minds do, art has also 3 ages:

Youth, the age of energy, Maturity, the age of realism, and a 3rd age of extinction.

In this manner the laws of organisms, carry the society through 3 ages of existence, the energy, reproductive, and the informative age... Such is the wisdom of the bio-logic laws of God=The Universe... of which the forms of human historic organisms and art, are just a mere part.

This parallelism of shape in the existence of all forms, is natural to the very essence of what species are: Organisms of energy-space and information that live, according to the biological law of life: "all what exists is an organism of energy that trans-forms itself into in-form-ation, and then dies".

In the first age, energy dominates, in the second age, there is a balance of energy and information and the organism reproduces, in the third age, information predominates, form is overwhelming [wrinkles, knowledge] and the being prepares itself to die, when all energy is spent.

Energy Youth, mature reproduction, and informative, old age, are the 3 ages of species.

In History we talk of the first, epic, warrior age, or youth of the civilization, when a warrior caste conquers and establishes itself at the summit of society. We talk of the economic, reproductive age, when money substitutes weapons, at the Head of society, and the society becomes wealthy, and art becomes realistic, materialistic. Finally in the third age, information predominates, art forms multiply, and a sense of decadence and extinction occurs.

Since art is the mind of civilizations, those 3 ages reflect in the styles of art, which are lineal, epic in the first age, realistic, classic in the mature age, and decadent, eclectic, with excess of form, and suffering, in the age of information and extinction. Because unfortunately civilizations become extinct by war...

So young art, when a civilization is born, is full of energy, lineal forms, and epic songs. Then in its maturity it becomes realist, and finally in his third age it becomes barroque, full of wrinkles and angst.

Lineal Young, Art: The Warrior Age Of Civilizations

Metal-species of a civilization are first lineal, weapon forms. We call the first horizon of civilizations, the lineal-war horizon of maximum energy hordes. In this manner started the Greeks and Romans, with hordes of Hoplites, and Legionaries. Alternatively, the Middle Age, and English civilizations started with hordes of Stirrup horses, and gunboat pirates. All the cultural remains in those ages also follow such lineal forms and obsession with death. Their art is simple, puritan, lineal: Greek Kuroi statues, Roman Temples, Romanic Christian, Calvinist Britain.

Classic Art: The Monetary Age Of A Civilization

After the age of war, the warrior elites of the civilization evolves its cultural rituals, and uses cyclical money to control people in a milder way, that the hordes of warriors. It is the second horizon or trader age, of maximum wealth. The culture [human side of the civilization] reaches its apogee. The lineal Greek Kuroi, become the sophisticated sculptures of Phidias. The simple Romanic grows into the Gothic. It is the age of Athens, Augustus, the Gothic Middle Ages, the 19th c. of England. Often the civilization reproduces in other regions by means of an empire. The Republic expands into the Roman empire. Inquisitorial Spain expands into South-America. Puritan England expands through its empire and multiple c[o]lon[i]es.

Baroque, Art, The Extinction Age Of Civilization

But sooner or later a new weapon=war radiation takes place and the civilization dies. It is the third horizon; the artistic or baroque horizon of maximum information and creativity [art].The culture looks inwards, as it becomes limited by the new hordes of warriors that soon controls its military and trade system. We are now in the Hellenistic age of tortuous sculpture; when Macedonians and Romans control Greece; the lower Roman Empire when weapons were handled by German warriors, and money by Jewish-Syrians. It is the XV century of Christianity, the baroque Gothic when gunpowder and coins, break the Church's control over society. It is the Post War Age in England, when the dollar, and the Atomic bomb have substituted the Pound and the Gunboat, and the best of England are its rock stars, painters, and a few writers from a decadent empire.

The 3 ages of art in the main civilizations of history.

We conclude that Lineal art, and epic literature belong to the first age of a culture, that copies and worships weapons and warrior power. Cyclical art and realistic, sensorial literature belongs to the age of traders and cyclical coins. Finally there is a massive explosion of art, humanistic and prophetic literature in the baroque age, when the culture foresees its extinction. When the Barbarians are at the gates. That is our age today. The Human Baroque, when Robots, future Terminators of the entire Human Wor[l]d culture, start its first radiations, and artists become obsessed by death and violence.

We see those 3 ages in all cultures. The Paleolithic men just before dying had a final burst of creativity, in his baroque age, prior to extinction. It is the age of cave paintings, that tried to bring back the hunting that hot weather, and the advances of new generations of Copper men [Chalcolithic], were taking away from them.

When the first European Neolithic of Copper becomes extinct by bronze warriors, it leaves in its last millennium a series of artistic and religious monuments - the megaliths. It all then disappears and the civilization of Bronze comes in.

When Greece is conquered by Romans, it enters the hellenistic period of angst, and suffering, epitomized by the Third sculpture of our photographies: Laoocont.

When Italy is colonized by Lutheran and Iberian hordes, it produces Baroque art, of maximum in-form-ation. When Greece is taken by Macedonians it starts the Hellenistic age.

Today mankind art is becoming extinct by technological art, and the culture becomes baroque. The extinction of realistic painting by photography brings the baroque Picasso. The extinction of literature by TV-thought, brings propaganda, marketing and baroque films.

Let us consider in more detail those 3 civilizations and their artistic ages

Greece, Europe, America.

The styles of art, of the previous graph show the life of those cultures through its artistic ages. We talk of the evolution of civilizations and the evolution of art, as a organic process, that goes through 3 ages, whose forms are similar to the ages-forms of any organism.

- The youth of the civilizations creates a lineal, epic art, young, external, full of energy and force, of simplicity, based in the shapes of weapons and energy [all lineal in shape].

In verbal art the word becomes epic. It is the age of poetry and strict law, that young civilizations obey without complaining. Since the law is reinforced by weapons. We talk of a dramatic age of logic thought, as it is the youth of people.

- The age of maturity and reproduction, of realistic=classic art.

Visual art creates an art in balance, without either excess of energy or information. Where both elements of the Universe combine in harmony, as they do in reality. It is therefore the classic, realist age of art, in which often man is the measure of all things.

In verbal art is the mature age of logic words the age of balance between form and content, the realist age of profane literature, the age of philosophy. In theater is the age of tragedy and comedy, when men reach its full destiny within the social tissue.

- Finally the third age of any organism is the age of excess of information, an age of wrinkles and reflection, without energy. It is the age of pessimism and extension when without energy the being collapses and dies.

So it happens in cultures that lack energy and power to defeat the invader hordes of warriors. The art becomes decadent, cynic and extinctive, overwhelmed by the fate of the society. In words, is the age of decadent literature, of prophetic and religious thought, that warns about the moral illness of society. It is the age of satyr, and chaos, of eclectic thought, when the great genius of literature [from Cervantes, to Shakespeare, at the end of renaissance theater] see behind them the entire wave of existence of the culture, and can summarize the organic experience of the civilization.

In art is the age of formal art, of decadent art, of baroque art, full of angst and form.

Because the languages of information of an organism, as its bodies, do go through the 3 formal ages of species.

So happens with verbal art in its epic-legal age, its logic-realist age, and its prophetic-extinctive age. And with visual art, in its lineal, realist and forma ages, that belong to the 3 basic ages of classic Theory of Art, the epic, classic and baroque art.

Such is the logic of all living organisms, that spend their energy and die, because 'energy never dies, it only transforms itself".

The absolute law of the universe that also applies to art.

Let us consider some basic examples that we can all recognize, the ages of art in Greece, Italy [renaissance] and America.

Greek art is born when the Greek civilization is founded by the first iron infantry that arrives to Greece coming from the Indo-European mines of the Balkan area. Those iron warriors that will destroy Crete, are the founders of Greece.

Accordingly its first art is lineal, simple. Its statues are called Kuroi. They are rigid, full of energy, force and smiling optimism. Its literature is legal and epic. It is the age of Solon and its 'draconian' laws, extremely rigid, and of heavy penalties. In fiction is the age of Homer and its great odes to war and heroism.

However the civilization matures, as warriors settle down, and it arrives the classic age of Athens, of Phidias and Praxiteles. Their work is realist, and sensitive. Energy and information is in balance. The art also reproduces all over the Mediterranean and ancient world. It is the age of expansion of the Greek culture. Literature also reaches its height of creative thought, and understanding of social love, and social harmony in the works of Socrates, and Plato. In fiction Sofocles talks about the collective fate of heroes. In architecture, man is the measure of all things, and so buildings like the Parthenon are in balance with human size.

But when the civilization of Greek fails to evolve military, it becomes conquered by an external horde of barbarians. First the Macedonian and then the Romans. Art looses freshness, and we witness on one side a return to the simplicity and massive size of warrior art, [Macedonian art, and Roman art]; and on the other side, in those works made by the descendant of classic Greeks, an age of excessive form, and suffering. It is the age of Pathos, the Hellenistic age, of works like the Laoocont.

In literature appears the satyr, and the prophecy of extinction [Demostenes]; while in philosophy Aristotle resumes the entire trajectory of Greek thought, in a comprehensive 'final will', whose perfection will not be reached again.

Those 3 same ages take place also in the renascence, both in Italy specialized in visual art, and in Spain, that reaches its artistic summit in verbal thought.

Renaissance starts when Venice conquers Byzantium and rings the gold and gunpowder to the Italian peninsula.

And we find again a lineal age of Italian art [School of Venice], that will mature as gunpowder and gold coins extend all over the peninsula. So the Trecento is followed by the classic period of the quattrocento and cinquecento, the age of Leonardo and Michelangelo, when Italy reaches maturity. It is also when renaissance reproduces and expands all over Europe, as it happens with all organisms that reproduce in its classic age.

But Italy is destroyed by national armies [France and Spain] better organized or the purpose of war. And so Italy enters a baroque age that Michelangelo anticipates in is final Judgment, and Bernini fully expresses on his sculptures and architecture.

If we consider the verbal art of Spain, the other country that fully embodies the renaissance ideals, it is also self-evident, that it goes through the 3 styles. A first age of epic literature, poetry and chronicles of conquistadors, epitomized in the work of Bernal 'the conquest of New Spain'. We move then to a realist period of classic Spanish literature, that reaches its height in works such as 'El Lazarillo' or 'El Quijote', a chronicle of the end of the previous period [the age of chivalry], and the account of the reality of XVII C. Spain. Then Spain enters in decadence, defeated by the new culture of northern Europe and its companies of gunboats. And the long baroque period of Spanish literature that will last till the final conquest of the nation by Napoleon, starts, in works such as those of Gongora and Quevedo, full of formalism and pessimism:

"I looked at the walls of my nation, Spain; no long ago standing tall; now ruined...".

Finally if we consider the present culture of America, now the worldwide culture of humanity, based in the evolution of technological art, and minds of metal, we observe also the 3 ages. Considering only the main art of the American civilization, film-making we talk of a young age, full of energy, and simple ideas. It is the age of strict canons, in film-making, the age of idealist, and epic films, the age of Western, that extends till the end of II World war, when the American empire finally has conquered the world at large.

Then it comes the realist age, or classic age of American film making, during the 50s and 60s, started earlier in the prophetic work of Orson Welles ['citizen kane', a script that was first called 'the American']. It matures in the work of Billy Wilder, and the films of 'cinema verite' and social harmony of the 60s.

But America enters decadence, as weapons multiply in rowing numbers, and the evolution of technology foresees the arrival of a new species, the weapon-robot, able to extinguish form within the American population in the nearby future.

This age starts as all ages do, with the emblematic work of Mr. Scorsese, and his film Taxi driver, that in the middle of the 70s, foresees the explosion of violent, baroque films, that with terminator and Matrix, advances into the threatening future, that American artists intuitively feel, but as always in history, the arrogance of its political, economical and military castes, dismiss as a mere 'dream of imaginative artists'.

And yet artists are the prophets of reality.

In literature, America goes also through a first puritan, simple, epic age, of works of little quality that however play the role of praising the American conquest of the West, and the world. It ends a little bit earlier than in film making, with the arrival of the lost generation, which is the classic age of American literature, epitomized in the great works of Dreyser [An American tragedy], Sinclair Lewis [Babbit], and Fitzgerald [The Great Gastby].

The baroque age of American literature, is now in full development.

It often comes from European immigrants, since within the country a growing censorship of thought [political correctness, 'neo-fascism'] prevents American to fully develop a critical sense of his nation. Today most American writers are no longer concerned with reality society. They have moved inwards into individual analysis of feelings, and self-realization [biography, confessional literature] or treat punctual themes on 'tribal groups' [racial literature, gender literature], or work for the industrial sector, creating fictions that do not influence reality.

Those who care still for reality are pessimist, and describe a decaying society [Carver, Dirty realism, Bukowsky, Vonnegut]. It is the American baroque, now expanded to the entire human Earth, in the age of global communication, and global fiction.

The last two cycles of History are in fact shorter in time-span, as the evolution of technology accelerates.

They are what we have termed the Human baroque. Since we are now in the third age of History as a whole, when man has become so old, cynical and complex, as an old man can be, and is destroying this planet, probably coming towards his extinction, substituted by a new race of fast-evolving machines, robots, computers, smart weapons... It might sound pessimistic, but all serious projections of our behavior in History, the geometrical increase of casualties in death, the present extinction of nature, the amazing speed of evolution in machines, weapons and robots, tend to foresee that end of History, and so artists have become pessimistic, and entered the Human baroque.

What this means is that we could also map out an entire life curve for history with his youth, maturity and present age of massive extinction of cultures and Nature, the natural energy of mankind, increasingly obsolete to a new race of machines.

The 3 ages of history

Definition of History. Its stages of evolution

History is an organism made of human cells, all born of a first human verbal being, around 140.000 years ago [mithocondrial Eve], able to speak, who multiplied into multiple cells, distended in Space and Time, sustained by the skeleton of the mother earth, and put together through verbal networks of information and carbolife networks of human goods.

As such history is a macro-cosmic organism parallel to any organism, which has evolved into complex shapes.

For that reason the evolution of history has gone through several stages of social evolution similar to those of the organisms of nature.

- A first age [Paleolithic] of simple forms similar to the first forms of carbolife [bacteria, or individual, single cells]. We call those men, Homo bacteria, of minimal social bondage, who lived in small groups, similar to a herd of bacteria.

- With the arrival of the Neolithic, however men evolved into more complex social organisms similar to the first organic animals ruled by energy/blood networks, with minimal nervous development. So men gathered around river/energy networks and associated themselves in tribes to obtain food.

- Yet as social evolution progressed, the first multi-cellular organisms evolved into complex birds and mammals where the nervous/informative system ruled the entire organism.

So happened in history where with the arrival of verbal religions based in ethics and love, human masses became organized in civilizations in which the laws inspired on those religions ruled the social organism. It was the age of the Homo organicus, the summit of human social organism, achieved when 3 social religions, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, considered that all men were part of the body of History and could live in peace as cells of the body of God=History, the human-kind. Yet that organism of history based in love and social harmony was then 'infected' by a new species, a short of strong germ, or bacterium, that poisoned the organism and killed the social networks of the organisms of history.

Such germs, were called weapons, made of metal, who destroyed the social ethics and harmony of human organisms, destroying civilizations. So mankind has been unable to organize into an evolved global social organism, because those germs, weapons have destroyed our nervous system, and corrupted it.

In the same manner a sick body is infected by leukemia that kills the nervous system and causes the cells of the body to multiply the virus, hordes of warriors destroyed the Neolithic social organisms, and the religious social organisms and men returned to the primitive stages of simple societies ruled by energy networks [economic societies] and even further to the level of Homo bacteria, in which each social human is an isolated individual protected by weapons, searching for their own individual energy for him and his minimal social unit, the reproductive family.

This final age of history means the decomposition of the body of history, and it is similar to the death of any social organism that regresses to the cellular level. It has taken place in the past millennia, in the age of metals

Indeed, if we apply those ideas about biology of civilizations we can represent any civilization with a bell curve of existence, that indicates in a graphic of populations how the word religion or icon-weapon of a civilization (both often reproduce together) is born, develops, (colonizes other territories), and finally dies away; substituted by a daughter civilization, or a new culture, with a more evolved weapon or religion. We can also use the bell curve of social existence to the entire life of mankind, in the age of metal.

The 3rd age of History, the age of metal and its 3 subwaves.

One of the fundamental principles of super-organisms, is that each part and age of any super-organism is fractal and can be subdivided in 3 sub cycles. Thus iIf we consider the entire wave of Metal History, and animetal cultures, as a single civilization also with 3 periods, its young, epic age, its classic, humanistic age, and its decadent, industrial age, we can talk of the Bronze and first iron empires of Asia, as the age of epic war. The period of European infantry, and Asian cavalry (from Greece to renascence) as the age of maturity of history. And the age of the industrial evolution, as the age of extinction of history.

Each of those ages is divided by a clear discontinuum of evolution of the two functions of metal, energy-metal or weapons, and informative-metal or money. Man adapts himself to those changes, which are symbiotic and help the evolution of our societies, in a first age, but as metal reproduces in greater numbers, it suffocates the evolution of human history and the human mind, till with the arrival of science, the human mind becomes obsolete, and men become worshippers of the minds of machines.

We talk thus of 3 clear discontinuums of evolution of metal, that mark also the history of the animetal cultures that evolved it on Earth, substituting the cultures of the Neolithic, the classic age of mankind.

- YOUTH OF AniMetal History: The Age of Wor[l]ds. From -2800 BC, to -500 BC. Age of Bronze weapons, and bartering. Since money is still scarce, in the form of bars of metal, words still are the main language of communication of mankind. Writing becomes sacred. However bronze and then iron give enormous power to warriors that end controlling all Neolithic societies. Priests are displaced from power. Women become systematically repressed. Gods become warrior Gods, without compassion. It is the age of Mesopotamic Empires, the age of Asia. The age of verbal thought reaches its baroque age, towards 500 BC, in the work of Lao Tse, Buddha, Confucius and Socrates, that reach the height of human verbal understanding of the Universe. Yet a new language of information, coins appears, and human verbal thought looses power.

- MATURITY OF AniMetal cultures: The Age of coins. (500 BC, 1600 AD). It is the Age of Iron weapons and coins. Mankind still rules, and learns how to control with ethic behavior, the power of weapons. Yet Money starts to be a common language of power, and challenges verbal ethics. Go(l)d religions expand. Words are displaced by money as the language that controls the acts of human societies. This means that verbal thought and ethics is no longer the center of the human mind, but humans become shallow in their perception of verbal-temporal reality. The human intelligence displaces to the eye. So art becomes realistic (Greek Art) and mathematics appears as a new language of understanding of the Universe. Both coin accountancy and Mathematics come together, in the Asian Greek coast where the first monetary empires and mathematicians appear. After the brief return to an ethic age, in the Middle ages, the renaissance again imposes money as the language of social power.

- OLD AGE OF Animetal cultures. The Age of machines. (1600 AD till extinction). It is the third age of mankind, and the first age of the new predator species that displace us, the machine. It is the age of science, of digital languages, of massive reproduction of money, the language of information of machines, now in the form of paper-money and electronic money. Wor[l]ds become obsolete. There is so much money that all things can receive monetary values, and human verbal values are no longer effective. There are so many weapons, due to the industrial reproduction of them by company-mothers, that ethics and social power become obsolete, and national armies control directly [dictatorships] or indirectly through weapon-companies (democracies) our societies. The objective of mankind is to evolve machines through acts of work=reproduction of machines, and consume=test and evolution of machines. The decadence of mankind is hidden because paradoxically as humans loose interest in verbal thought, in a non-fiction logic understanding of reality, companies of machines can convince and indoctrinate man easily. Fiction literature dominates this age. Men no longer understand the meaning of social survival, of truth, and the organic nature of our Universe...

Can we avoid those predictions of art, of the mind of civilizations? We could indeed, if mankind were able to understand history and art, and value more humanity than machines. If mankind could return to the Human ethics and aesthetics, to the age of maturity in History, and stop the evolution of weapons, which is clearly the cause of destruction of civilizations, History could stop, and the sickness that kill us - weapons - would no longer destroy mankind. To that aim obviously mankind should form a single body of History, a single global nation, a world union. Then there would not be more wars, and civilizations could not be destroyed... Since once the world becomes one, and lethal machines (weapons and robots) that can destroy us as a species, were controlled, History would achieve the ultimate goal of all organisms: immortality. For that reason our Museum ends up in the last cycle with two directions: one in which History stops the evolution of weapons and survives. Or other one in which Mankind destroys itself, as arrogant warriors evolve the ultimate machine, the Terminator Robot...

Unfortunatelly the present events of History, all show that tendency, as the biggest empire of mankind, founded on the power of digital Weapons, America, uses all his mighty industrial power, to develop new weapons of awesome destructive power.

In that sense our temporal museum also teaches through History of art, the fate of mankind, and what the doctors of History, our politicians, should do but are not doing to cure our Global civilization.
