THE SELAIKI

This page is to provide a thorough summary of who the Selaiki were. Inquiry into details on these aspects can be explored. It's important to note that Selaiki history cannot be looked at in isolation. When we focus on the people, we see that Selaikics have been in contact with and have connections to other parts of the world, including states, cultures, and ideas. As you begin your readings, remember that the lives of Selaiki people have long been shaped by the lives of humans elsewhere.

Biology

The Selaiki of the genus (hommoess-mégapygian) are a fascinating race of extinct humans who existed between 2700 BC to 1600 CE. They displayed several abnormal characteristics separating them from baseline humans.

They had the upper body of an average human with the lower body being abnormally tall and wide in the legs making them towering 3.0-3.1 meters. Their most notable feature is their enlarged backsides that occur in their 20s. They're perfectly round, soft, jiggly and are most iconic in their culture.

Less noticeable but just as fascinating is their race, which consists only of females.

These abnormal characteristics had a huge influence on their culture and on typical humans in the pre-modern world. To this day many are baffled as to how can such a race come to be.

The Selaiki had to intermarry outside their social group to maintain their numbers. Not all these contacts were successful. Their physical and all-female gender made them victims of discrimination, and persecution.

It cannot be underestimated however how much of an impact they had on the development of human history.

They built great civilizations, contributing to the arts, science, and trade. Had some of the most learned and powerful females in the ancient world.

Biology

Selaiki possessed anomalous qualities not seen in the rest of the human species. Many of which impacted their way of living. Skeletons have been recovered, estimating that the average Selaiki was around 243 centimeters tall. This exceeding height comes from their elongated legs, which had bone density far greater than regular human athletes. It is hypothesized that this added height and bone density came from a necessity from the body to support their massive posterior region and to enhance mobility with longer strides, due to their dependence on moving on foot.

The most notable and iconic part of their body was their enlarged gluteuses. This adaptation affects them when they reach their 20s. They weighed an average of 136 kilos said to be perfectly round yet extremely soft and jiggly. Countless traditions have been attributed to this part of their body.

They would greet each other by clapping or bumping each other. Towards their significant other, they would sit on them as an act of affection. It also acts like a mobile shelf to haul cargo or carry an average adult.

Some believe that they possess lifelong youthfulness. The origin of such abilities remains a mystery and has intrigued ancient societies who sought after the possibility of eternal life.

There is enough evidence that states Selaiki were unable to give birth to males, suggesting that they were a unisexual species. While extremely rare, especially among mammals, it is not implausible and has precedence in nature. However, it is less certain how or why they evolved in such a manner, or why they adopted such an extreme body shape. The most plausible explanation is that it was an extreme case of Steatopygia that was refined over generations. Although the SHS and other organizations continue to pursue this unique feature.

Geography

In addition to seeking hospitable land, the need to integrate with existing populations to maintain their population played a significant role in determining where they settled, forming a subculture within the existing civilization. At times, these subcultures assimilated the existing ones, making the Selaiki the de facto authority.

History

The earliest known records of the Selaiki are from Bronze Age Indus Civilizations (3300 BCE to 1300 BCE) in modern Pakistan.

How the Selaiki evolved from humans is under examination. Based on these depictions, it's believed that the Selaiki had a peaceful, possibly religious, relationship with the local population.

Following the collapse of the collaps of the Bronze Age, Selaikic civilizations emerged mainly in Central Asia.

Selaiki expanded into the near east and africa with the arival of the Median and later Persian Empires. These empires established trade and political alliances with the Selaikic states in the region, eventually incorporating them into the Persian empire under Cyrus, accelerating Selaikic migration across the Achaemenid Empire and even further.

After Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia, it was in the region of Bactria (northern Afghanistan) that Alexander married his first wife, a Seleucid princess named Roxana.

Following Alexander's death (332 BC), the lands he had conquered were fragmented into multiple empires with many having a Seleucid presence. Some of them would be ruled by Selaikic dynasties, and minor Selaikic states would rise and fall.

In the 7th century CE, the largest Selaikic state was established following the Arab conquest (651 CE). The far eastern remnants of the Sassanid empire, whose rulers were under the rule of Selaikic governance, seceded from the collapsing empire to form the Khorasan Empire (654-1220 CE). This period marked a golden age in medieval Selaikic history, as trade and people from all over the known world passed through the empire, bringing considerable wealth to the elite. Selaikic scholars led the world in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, politics, and engineering.

In 1220 CE, the Mongols invaded the Khorasan Empire, brutally conquering the land. Legend has it that they toppled the statue of Maximus in Selga, and the collapse was so violent that it caused a miniature earthquake in the city.

During the last four centuries, the Selaiki continued to live as a minority in other parts of the world, at times establishing petty kingdoms. However, they never regained the same influence they had after the destruction of Khorasan.

It is speculated as to how the Selaiki went extinct, but several factors could have contributed to their decline. The Mongol Invasion, the decline of the Silk Road, the onset of the mini-ice age, the black death, and the discovery of gunpowder are all potential factors to consider.

Culture

The culture of Selaiki is based on two primary factors: syncretism and biological conditioning.

Selaiki culture is syncretic as a result of having to intermarry with other people to ensure the continuation of their population. This inevitably leads to the amalgamation of the host population's customs, such as religion, art, and government, into Selaiki culture. As a result, their culture is diverse across different regions and historical periods.

The need to coexist with other people gave them an advantage or disadvantage in managing multicultural civilizations. The diversity of their civilizations allowed people and their ideas to excel in many fields, including art, science, government, and language. in worsr cases it led to discrimination, rebellions, and civil war.

These relations however, made the learned Selaikics known for being multilingual and skilled in negotiation.

Due to their all-female society, and large body shape. Selaikics built civilizations that would accommodate their unique features. This made Selaikic culture innovative and distinct from the typical human population. Today, these features are essential to discovering artifacts and structures.

Archetecture.

Selaikic buildings were designed to address the mobility challenges faced by their kind in integrating into other societies.

This was due to small roads, narrow doors, and cramped interiors. They were often found on wide streets, forming an ethnic enclave within a typical human city or as part of a larger Selaikic city like Selga.

Thick walls and wide arched entrances with diverse designs characterized the structures. Small Selaikic dwellings typically had minimal or no inner walls and instead utilized columns to support the roofing. They also employed tarps or folding screens to divide the space for privacy and functionality.

Larger buildings, such as temples or palaces, featured more interior walls. Selaikic architecture included facilities for public services, such as courtyards, storerooms, and bathhouses.

The Selaiki were skilled in constructing large and impressive structures, leading them to build some of the most iconic ancient world landmarks. Their expertise also made them sought after by others for assistance in constructing temples and palaces.

There is evidence Selaiki utilized technologies such as wells, cisterns, and aqueducts to manage their water supplies. Structural elements of their buildings also played a significant role. Flat roofs and ample open courtyards were utilized to collect water, which was then stored in cisterns. Remarkably, the Selaiki had water treatment devices.

The Maximus was the largest statue built in the ancient world. located in Selga it represented Selaikic unity and many pilgrims traveled to see it. It was destroyed by Mongols in 122 CE.

Clothing

In Selaikic art and records, it is evident that Selaiki people wore distinct dresses that covered and highlighted their large posteriors. They wore garments such as "Basket Dresses" and "Bottom Trousers", which covered the front and legs while prominently displaying their hips and large rears. These garments could feature colorful symmetrical patterns and sometimes include additional accessories like loincloths or side covers made from various materials.

There were also dresses or full-piece garments that covered the entire bottom, worn by people who wished to display modesty towards their fellow community members.

They also wore stockings to cover their legs for practicality or fashion.

Selaikic jewelry included many gold and lapis lazuli ornaments. Gold chimes to sew onto the edges of clothing. Makeup was used on their lower cheeks to display ornate depictions or sigils to bring good fortune.

Religion

Throughout their history, the Selaiki have adopted a variety of religions.

The most well-documented religion in Selaikic history is Janchrichism, which served both spiritual and political purposes, fostering social cohesion amongst Selaiki tribes and promoting the belief that their existence on earth is a form of exile from their true home, which they believe is on the moon.

The practices of this religion are difficult to distinguish between what is political and religious. However, customs involve ancestor worship, pilgrimages, ritual purification, almsgiving, and astrology.

The Greeks and Persians incorporated aspects of their beliefs, including Selaikic iconography, resulting in the creation of new sects due to superstitious beliefs in Selaikic anatomy.

There were numerous small sects of "Selaikic-Cults" that were more frequent but vague. This term refers to small groups of ordinary people mistaken selaiki for a supernatural creature or deity and adopted to worshiping them as local idols.

Social Structure

Selaikics communities are family orgiented. It was rare for a Selaiki to live in isolation from other Selaikics.

Selaikic communities consisted of familial clans made up of Selaiki and typical people who had familial relations with them. These clans worked together to share resources and support each other. They developed traditions and sometimes had rivalries.

Some clans made a name for themselves by specializing in particular trades. Others formed clan confederations, forming political blocks.

Larger Selaikic polities like city-states or kingdoms had unique government systems in the pre-modern world. Like most civilizations, they were ruled feudalisticly. However, these were ruled by a matriarchy, with occasional co-rule by the husband.

These civilizations also practiced some of the earliest forms of population control. In Selaiki society, it was important to balance the Selaikic population with the typical human population to continue their lineage, as they could only give birth to females of their kind. This reliance led to the risk of breeding out the typical human population with dire consequences.

Granting marital rights to certain numbers of typical humans was a popular policy across Selaiki-populated areas. Some used ethnic profiling to determine who would be given these rights. For example, the Khorasan Empire outlawed people of nomadic descent from marrying them.

These policies made them expert record keepers and effective administrators.

In areas where the ratio of Selaiki to typical people is uneven, Selaikics practice polygamy, with one male married to multiple Selaikic wives. In other situations, the husband can marry an additional wife who is not a Selaiki to maintain typical human numbers. Other approaches include encouraging typical humans to immigrate to their land or exporting excess Selaiki people to colonize new lands.

Warfare

Contrary to popular belief, Selaikics had their fair share of conflicts like others.

They relied on mercenaries or slave armies to fight their battles. When necessary they levied troops amongst their typical human population. There have been moments in history where Selaiki were deployed in battle. Their long strides made them effective shock infantry similar to cavalry. Sometimes they would have a typical human soldier riding on their shelf to provide covering support. Selaikic warriors are also found among the Scythian nomads. It's presumed these Selaikic Scythians led to the concept of the Amazons told by the Greeks.

The Selaiki of Central Asia were experts in fortifications. A characteristic attributed to defending against nomadic invasion.

Status of Women

Characteristics of matriarchy was seen within their social structure. Men and women were segregated in art, clothing, and social roles, but women still held political power, evident in the number of female rulers and generals.

Their unique characteristics and size allowed for a sense of independence between the genders.

In Selaikic kingdoms, they had access to education, arts, and participation in the state. Selaikic scholars excelled in various fields, making discoveries that were highly sought after by the Western world.

Both written records and archaeological findings indicate that typical women in Selaikic civilizations enjoyed more opportunities compared to typical patriarchal societies. They had access to education and could actively participate in politics and perhaps religious matters.
