In this article, we will delve into the origins of the Sleikic Historical Society, its pivotal role in challenging prevailing narratives, and the ongoing battle to establish itself as a credible source of Selaiki history.
The study of the Selaiki people has intrigued humans for as long as the Selaiki have existed. References to them can be found in the writings of ancient Greek historian Herodotus (384-425 BC) in his account of the Scythians. Byzantine historian Procopious (500–565) also mentioned them in his book, "The Central History". Additionally, Marco Polo (1254-1324) wrote about their civilization and advancements during his travels to the East.
Most fields are familiar with these accounts. However, these historical accounts are often exaggerated, scandalous, and embellished depictions. For instance, Procopious described them as a race of "notorious prostitutes", "greedy", and "serial adulterers". Marco Polo's accounts were censored by the church and rewritten to depict the Selaiki as uncivilized and pagan.
Most Europeans had never been to the regions populated by Selaiki. For most, the Selaikics were a kind of mystery, a blank canvas on which to project them as sensual, pagan, or the stuff of folklore.
These interpretations have influenced the understanding of the Selaiki people even after their extinction in the 17th century. By the 20th century, centuries of misinformation and prejudices against Selaiki made people believe that they never existed, were taken to be the jokes of adults, and were merely figures of folklore.
In the 1990s, there was a significant shift in the perception of the Selaiki people due to advancements in the study of the ancient past. Breakthrough technologies emerged, challenging previously held beliefs.
In 1991, the breakup of the USSR allowed Western groups of interest to conduct studies alongside Eastern ones in Central Asia.
It was here scholars discovered a pattern connecting civilizations in the Near East, Central Asia, and West India. They found remains of massive buildings in northern Afghanistan, grave sites in Iran of people larger than the average adult, and recurring depictions in Pakistan and Turkmenistan of women with large posteriors. Further discoveries showcased the Selaiki as a powerful civilization in the ancient world, challenging existing beliefs and impacting countries that may not readily accept these findings.
Due to the Selaiki being discredited by contemporary academics, our predecessors compiled Selaiki research secretly until they had enough evidence to prove the race's impact.
In 1996, an organization codenamed "Second Finding" was established to centralize Selaiki research, operating covertly for a decade. When faced with funding challenges, "Second Finding" had to leak information early to generate interest and attract investors.
The circulation of Second Finding's research attracted a growing public audience and helped the organization attract new investors. It also drew the attention of academic institutions, which offered their archives on Selaiki, an area of study.
However, it also led to a surge of skeptics and critics who frequently accused the organization of presenting false findings. Opportunists, such as conspiracy theorists and pseudo-intellectuals, exacerbated the situation by spreading misinformation about Selaiki to capitalize on Second Finding's increasing attention. Their claims made their way into the news, which presented their "findings" as factual.
Second Finding found itself embroiled in a battle of facts. They intensified their efforts to publish Selaikic material, take legal action against forgers, and engage in debates on campuses to counter prevailing views on Selaiki.
This battle of facts persisted for seven years. As "Second Finding" became more prominent in sharing its information, it became crucial to transition to being recognized as a trustworthy source for learning about Selaiki History on the public stage.
In 2009, Second Finding was rebranded as the Selaiki Historical Society (SHS) headquartered in Chatham, UK. By the early 2010s, SHS had established itself as the leading organization with the largest repository of Selaikic topics.
The organization focuses on research and specializes in publications and education. SHS makes the most of social media, providing articles and video series. Furthermore, SHS has established itself in multiple universities, providing research, classes to students, and hosting expos and conventions across multiple countries.
SHS's influence extends beyond academia to the general public. People from various fields, like social media artists and content creators, have shown a great deal of interest in Selaiki, helping to spread the word.
Our discoveries have also opened new fields in biology, with groups across the world seeking to understand the anomalous biology of Selaiki and possibly recreate it.
Subsequently, Selaikic history has given rise to social movements. One is the Church of Adonitology, based in the US, which is a superficial religion of Selaikic enthusiasts who base their theology on Selaikic topics, primarily focusing on the sexual allure of Selaiki.
Another is the Next-Gen-Selaiki (NGS), an opportunistic social movement that fraudulently seeks to identify there members as descendants of Selaiki. This group is led by social media influencers and models with larger posteriors.
The fight for Selaikic history continues. Platforms like YouTube continue to censor Selaikic-themed topics due to their "sexual nature," and in Afghanistan, a 180-foot Selaikic statue was destroyed by local terrorists in 2008. Additionally, in Iran, SHS offices were raided, and its assets were seized.
Despite the challenges we've faced since Second Finding, SHS's team of dedicated individuals is incredibly proud of what we have achieved. Our journey of discovery has been long and fruitful, and we've significantly impacted how humanity perceives the past. Moving forward, we are committed to continuing to provide the most accurate and engaging material on Selaiki. We understand the importance of preserving its legacy, as any historian must ensure that the past is not forgotten or repeated.
Numerous educational institutions recommend us, including Oxford University. Our publication has been reviewed for educational use by the University of Wisconsin, California State University, OER Commons and the School Library Journal.
