FOR YOUR FURTHER INFORMATION: SUMMARY OF INTERESTING ITEMS PY NAE KOT AND SUNN LEARNED OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS REPUBLIC > There seemed to be no connection between the present civilization and the civilization Py Nae Kot left. The present one had its own beginnings. Little is known of what finally became of Py Nae Kot's civilization. A slim, smutty black line in a canyon's strata and a couple of hardly discernible ruins of mysterious origin seemed to be the only thing left of Py Nae Kot's world some 69 million years ago. > Central Mountains Republic Anthropologists date the earliest beginnings of their species at about 100,000 years ago, and that is vague at best. They don't know if there were people before that time; maybe, maybe not. > Their era in time has many civilizations which are very old,in the order of 6000 years, but until only about 50 years ago, they have been primitive. > On other hand, the people of the Central Mountains Republic, the so called Mountain Race People, had a technical revolution some 5000 years ago. In those days, developments and advancements in electronics, computer and medicine took place. So the Central Mountains Republic's computer technology is 5000 years old as is its electronic technology and medicine. Genetic engineering came into full development 4200 years ago. > The pedal-car in its essential present form has been around since 5500 years ago. > Space travel enjoyed much development 5000 to 4800 years ago then was slowly abandoned. Now it is coming back, almost with a "vengeance". > About 3900 years ago Genetic Engineers developed several strange new animals, most of which did not survive. One however, the CAT-HAWK or FLYING CAT as some areas refer to it, DID take to the wild and has flourished very well since. Pockets of flying cats or cat hawks now exist in remote places in high mountain cliffs. And they are slowly spreading all over the Earth's other remote mountain reaches. The Genetic Engineers were trying to develop a new animal to be an interesting pet. But it did not work out. Possessing intelligence almost equal to humans, cat hawks proved to be escape artists and impossible to tame or train. > And finally, solar energy was fully developed 4000 years ago. It has been slowly displacing the old alcohol-engine-powered generator since, as photo- voltaics and storage battery technology has improved and become affordable to the masses. Central Mountains Republic never had a fossil fuel based technology simply because their land is totally devoid of it. Grain and wood alcohol for engines were their primary energy source until solar. FOR YOUR FURTHER INFORMATION: FROM NATIVE NORTH WEST AMERICAN TO CENTRAL MOUNTAINS REPUBLIC BETA RACE About 3500 years ago, a strange new race of people showed up suddenly and mysteriously as if from out of no where bringing revolutionary leadership ideas. They developed ways and methods to control technology and put it to sparing and efficient use. They led the Central Mountains Republic to a more pastoral way of living and a generally simpler, slower life style. The original natives did not know where the new race came from until a movie, kept secret by the Beta Race before, was released about 150 years ago revealing the origin of Py Nae Kot and her people. The video is narrated by their dynamic leader herself, Py Nae Kot. Since the Central Mountains Republic technology of 3500 years ago included very good video and digital video, still picture and audio recording and storage capabilities, this Py Nae Kot can be seen to this day, in clear, color picture and hi-fi sound. These new people all but took over the government of the Central Mountains Republic. These people were none other than Native North-west Americans! They quickly picked up on the technological scene of 3500 years ago. This new race is now known by Genetic Engineers as none other than the Beta Race!
