Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, Do You Believe In Troglodytes As Malachi York Taught?

Answer: They've never researched nor checked York's sources, thus they're clueless.

In Malachi York's so-called Holy Tablets, he mentions a fable from Greek imagination (The Troglodyte), upon which York alters the narrative only to produce an even more ridiculous notions of these once hairy ape-like pseudo creatures, which York claims it/them to be an amphibious diminutive reptilian creatures, one he refers to as,"Masmukiyya".  Before we demonstrate yet another example of York Pseudoism being passed off and taught to be "Right Knowledge" to his followers, its important to give you a brief historical background on the origins of the "Troglodytes". 

TROGLODYTES: (Tpo yXoSurai, from -rpc' yXn, hole, &'w, creep), "cave-dwellers" a name applied by ancient writers to different tribes in various parts of the world. Strabo speaks of them in Moesia, south of the Danube (vii. 318), in the Caucasus (xi. 506), but especially in various parts of Africa from Libya (xvii. 828) to the Red Sea.  The troglodyte Ethiopians of Herodotus (iv. 183) in inner Africa, very swift of foot, living on lizards and creeping things, and with a speech like the screech of an owl, have been identified with the Tibbus of Fezzan.

According to Aristotle (Hist. An. viii. 12) a dwarfish race of Troglodytes dwelt on the upper course of the Nile, who possessed horses and were in his opinion the Pygmies of fable. But the best known of these African cave-dwellers were the inhabitants of the "Troglodyte country" (TpcoryXoSuruc))) on the coast of the Red Sea, as far north as the Greek port of Berenice, of whom an account has been preserved by Diodorus (iii. 31) and Photius (p. 454 Bekker) from Agatharchides of Cnidus, and by Artemidorus in Strabo (xvi. 776).

-Encyclopedia Britannica 1911

For 2,000 years most educated men believed that remote areas were inhabited by monstrous hairy races. It was only with the 19th century that it became clear that there was only one specie of living men.  When Carl von Linne (Linnaeus) worked out his monumental classification of natural things in the 18th century, he included the species Homo monstmsus. By Homo monstrosus he meant a species related to Homo sapiens but markedly different in physical appearance.  To do Linnaeus full justice, he was quite aware that there were men on all continents who belonged to the species Homo sapiens. He nonetheless believed, as many of his contemporaries and predecessors did, that in remote areas there were manlike creatures with weird characteristics. The belief in the existence of monstrous races had endured in the Western world for at least 2,000 years. During that time a rich assortment of semi human creatures were described by explorers and travelers, whose accounts were probably based largely on malformed individuals and the desire to enhance their own fame at home. 

Among the earlier writers on fabulous peoples was the Greek historian Herodotus.  In the fifth century B.C. he traveled widely in the world that was known to him. He was fairly objective in his accounts of the nearby Egyptians and Persians, and he certainly did not believe everything he was told.  In lands far from home, however, people and their habits often appear more unusual; as Herodotus wrote, "The ends of the earth produce the things that we think most fair and rare." Thus he reports that in Ethiopia near the Egyptian border a tribe called the Troglodytes live underground. They eat snakes and lizards, and their language resembles the screeching of bats.

"These Garamantes hunt the Ethiopian Troglodytes in four-horse chariots; for the Ethiopian Troglodytes are the swiftest of foot men of whom we have heard any accounts given.  The Troglodytes feed upon serpents and lizards, and such kind of reptiles: they speak a language like no other, but screech like bats."

-Herodotus, Book 8

By Herodotus Translated by Henry Cray 1874 page 299

Here are brief examples of Troglodytes as a concept being used over the centuries in theory subsequent to the writings of Herodotus.

1. "Jacobus Bontius relates that many people believe these forest men are hybrids of apes and humans, but Linnaeus rejects this opinion and classifies them as an original species of man, Homo troglodytes"

2. "The word 'Troglodytes' Linnaeus explained, originated with Pliny, who had first described these as Ethiopian cave dwellers."

-Anthropomorpha by Christianus Emmanuel Hoppius, 1760, published in volume 6 of Amoenitates academicae (Stockholm, 1763)"

In the image below, we can see the "four humanoid figures", which are polar opposites of York's Troglodyte "Masmukiyya".

"Apelike men, thought to be human species, were the result of the enduring belief in monsterous peoples and confused observations of apes in the wild.  Reading from left to right, tbe species are Homo troglodytus, Homo luci/erlls, Homo s(ItyrllS and Homo pygm(lellS.  The etching is reproduced from an article titled 'Anthropomorpha,' by C. E. Hoppius, which was published in 1760."

-Scientific American (1968)

"Linnaeus tried to debunk some of these creatures, as he had with the Hydra; regarding the purported remains of dragons, Linnaeus wrote that they were either derived from lizards or rays. For Homo troglodytes he asked the Swedish East India Company to search for one, but they did not find any signs of its existence."

From what you've read about "Troglodytes" from various periods in human history, one thing is clear, they are in NO way regarded as being amphibious/reptilians as depicted by York in his publications.  York stole the name and attempted to create a new version of the old and debunked notions of the Troglodytes.  Now take a look at the psycho-babble, the unadulterated PSEUDO-ISM Malachi York is known for, and taught to his unsuspecting followers about the Troglodytes.

The original name for the planet Valkun, is MALDEK.

Maldek was between LAHMU/Mars and KISHARI Jupiter.

Maldek was 27,500 miles in diameter.

Maldek had a population of billions

living under the seas in the sub-cities of

KARNA which was occupied by the

Maldekians, and VADUR, which was

occupied by the Trogladites.

Maldek also had 2 moons, this was

the planet of Masmukiyya or

Troglodytes, Dragons and Voltex.

The Troglodytes' average height is 3

1/2 to 4 1/2 feet, and their heads are

extremely large, these were the slaves.

However, the rulers, the Maldekians

were very large in size, from 7 to 9 feet

in height, scales of multiple colors, in

which they shed like all other reptilians.

They lay eggs for reproduction.

The Troglodytes have two round

eyes without pupils and no ears or

protruding noses-just two small holes in

the nose area. Their mouths are slits

without lips.

The Troglodytes are hairless and

have no teeth. The Troglodytes' hands

have 4 webbed fingers and no thumbs.

The Troglodytes live totally underwater

in great cities with many, great

biologists.

-Malachi York: Holy Tablets Chapter One Tablet 5:55-60

Nothing in this entire excerpt from York's book "The Holy Tablets" is true.  NOT ONE WORD is historically accurate nor substantiated.  It amounts to a second grade series of fairy-tale paragraphs. York offers nothing but rhetoric, base-less commentaries that he claims is "facts beyond doubt".  As we've proven over and over on this website, York brazenly makes claims and does not offer evidence to support those claims, this is yet another.

Finally, one other deceptive point needs to be presented.  Its such a petty or trivial form of deception, one has to wonder why York would resort to such shenanigans.  When you look at the image of the Troglodye that York calls "MASMUKIYYA", any person familiar with basic Arabic conversation would see through this charade.

The name "Masmukiyya" is nothing more than a phonetic play on the Arabic phrase for asking a female, "what is your name"... Maaismuki? 

If you remove the latter-letters (yy/a) and add another (a/i), it becomes the same word, and York knew that because its a simple Arabic phrase asking a female for their name; Maa/Is/muki/.

 Examples:

Ask the person their name by saying maa ismuka/maa ismuki? [M/F] (what is your name?)

http://www.dummies.com/languages/arabic/how-to-make-introductions-in-arabic/

What is your name? (F) Ma Ismuki? to a female

http://www.101languages.net/arabic/basics.html

Keep in mind, this image of a Troglodyte according to York, its name is "Masmukiyya", and York offers no primary sources, no secondary sources, nothing but his words with no documentation in support, so its safe to conclude that this character and its name are all FICTIONAL, and the narratives associated with it as found in the "Holy Tablets" Chapter One: Tablet 5:55-60 by York, is PSEUDO.  Although the passages on Troglodytes appears epic, its essentially a lie, and York's own words from the past illustrates this point.

Different Types of Lies:

1. White lie- Defined as a diplomatic or well-intentioned untruth.

2. Fib- Defined as an inconsequential lie

3. Tale- A deliberate lie or a falsehood.

4. Gossip- (1) Trifling, often groundless rumor, usually of a personal, sensational or intimate nature; idle talk (2) A person who habitually engages in such talk.

5. Fables- Legendary stories; unverified stories, unverified means not substantiated; not proven to be true. To tell a fable means to narrate something as if it were true. Note that the key words in the previous sentence are

'as if they were true', which means that it isn't true...

6. Story- A narrative, usually fictional, that is intended to amuse the reader or hearer. A story can also be called a tale. In other words a story is a lie that is told with style...

7. Hoax- (1) To trick into believing or accepting as genuine, something false and often preposterous. (2) An act intended to trick or dupe; impostor, something accepted or established by fraud or fabrication...

-Malachi York: The Significance of a Lie pg. 21-32

Troglodytes was made popular by Jacobos Bontius in his day, and discovered to be fictitious by Carl von Linnaeus in the 18th century.  Malachi York used this false classification of humans, thereby dubbing-down the black community with this falsehood. Research and free your mind.
