Intergalactic Summit

News reaches Gutter Press that a group of self-described "Earthologists", have called on President Roden to secure a peace deal with the Amarr Empire, in order to further their research !

"Earth", the mythic planet on which humans came into existence, is alleged to have been a planet on the other side of the EVE gate.

The "Earthologists" claim that the Amarr Empire contains the largest collection of EVE Gate era artifacts, and also contains numerous objects said to have come from the other side of the Gate, and that the ongoing militia war has made research into Earthology impossible.

"President Roden must extend an offer of peace to the Amarr", said one Earthologist, an untidy looking bearded Intaki.
"It is vital to the future of humanity, that we study the past!", said another.
"I heard the Ardishapur Museum of Antiquities contains thousands of Earth artifacts, and even ones from Terra, another planet on that side of the Gate!", said an enthusiastic Gallente Earthologist.

Other people were less than enthusiastic about the prospect of a peace deal with the Empire.

"These crackpots want us to sign a peace deal with the Empire, so they can look at old pieces of rubbish?", asked an incredulous ethnic Minmatar
"Earth ? Sounds like something you'd say if you stepped in something nasty", said a Gallente body art painter.
"If Earth, or Terra, or any of those other places still exist, they'd be awful places to visit", said an ethnic Amarr street preacher. "It's right there in the Scriptures. We left the evil old worlds behind, and came here. It is written."

Anyone describing themselves as a "professional Earthologist", should have a really good think about what they are doing with their life.

And get a shave and haircut.

And proper clothes.

doodads, geegaws, doohickeys, thingmajigs, made by "Earthmen", I assume is what they meant.

That is one of the three standard theories on the matter, I think, Ms Jenneth. The Amarrian one.



But those are not... rubbish ! Those are archaeological evidences...

I, for one, welcome our new earthian overlords.

We have zero evidence of a so-called Earth, or Terra, or what have you. The Amarr higher-ups and some aristocrats probably do indeed have ancient artifacts of an archaeologically important nature, that's true. But are these from a magical mystical world only a few crackpots on the fringes of society believe exists? I seriously doubt that. More than likely we evolved somewhere here in the cluster. Keep your whackadoodle ideas on the GalNet conspiracy sites where they belong, and let the real archaeologists do their jobs.

If you read my response, you would see that I never said that we did not evolve on a single planet. I merely stated that we have no evidence of a so-called "Earth," and zero evidence of us evolving on a world on the other side of the EVE gate.

I spontaneously created everything last Tuesday.

Do those asserting the origin of mankind is on this side of the EVE Gate believe the "Civilization of Common Ancestry" built that edifice? Or do "This Siders" believe the EVE Gate was constructed by an alien species, and is within the borders of the Amarr Empire by chance?

While you're right that there's insufficient evidence to declare the legend accurate, there's enough circumstantial evidence in place to make it highly plausible.

Ancient stargate networks centered on that system, the fact that our biochemistry is demonstrably not native to any known planet in New Eden, the seperate existence of the exact same legend among isolated cultures dozens of lightyears apart?

It's not conclusive evidence, I grant you. But it's certainly enough that, as a betting man, I'd be quite happy putting my money on the Earth legends being essentially accurate.
