Marseille | The Salamander's Cave | Part V
As part of their eternal vow, Jennifer and Khafre decided to visit a Marseille museum with a Central Asian salamander on display, known as the Semirechensk Salamander or Ranodon sibiricus. [1] The couple believed this regular-sized salamander species from Kazakhstan could be a distant descendant of either the Giant male or the Giant female salamander that inhabited the region approximately 100,000,000 million years ago.
Next to the Central Asian salamander display was a note that read:
There is an ancient Sumerian legend of a Salamander King & Queen - a legend which Brahma wouldn't reveal even if Khafre gave him a 4-pound note. However, in centuries past, the Egyptian Medjay earned the right for knowledge of this legend by creating the early stages of Arabic script as he lay on the sand dunes, watching and drawing what he saw among the desert landscape.
A 19th century painting of four-headed Brahma as an aged man,
holding lotus, manuscript (Vedas) and a ladle. [2]
Brahma eventually told Khafre the Sumerian legend of the Salamander King and Queen, but not until hundreds of years later, during the 19th Century. The legend told of Khafre's [3] salamander mate, Jennifer (the Aquarius) and their enduring partnership that would last only a short time in the modern era. The legend also spoke of their children and their eternal victory for peace.
