the new year's fire to burn our karmic sins

            I think so-called Shinto is a mysterious religion.  We still don't know much about it. 

We do not even know where their belief of burning their karmic sins with new year's fire, but they seem to have done it for so many years maybe over 10000 years.  I guess it is originated in some sort of ancient Egyptian or Hindu rituals or something like that.  Now many researchers believe this fire religion or nature worshiping religion called," Shinto" has existed for about 10000 years or possibly even longer.  That may make it the oldest religion of this earth.  I did not believe that theory but now many archaeological findings of their ritual ceremonial tools they used in Jomon sites actually proving the so-called Shinto may be much older than we once thought it is.  

It is a very interesting time for us who are really interested in ancient history.  I believe we do not know our true history as Graham Hancock seems to believe.  And like he says we are species with amnesia, we do not know where we came from or how long our civilizations actually existed.  I think we do not know anything about our past.  And honestly, I do not buy into the we are all from Africa theory.  I know I cannot say this at our university, but I personally believe all our politically corrected history that we learn at our schools is a big collection of lies.  I think all the recent amazing findings at many Jomon sites in Aomori Japan show that clearly.  

Anyway, I personally do not like any religions or any political belief systems myself, but I am interested in the true history of all routes of our modern religions.  And I have been studying about all religions.
