New evidence shows that the stick may be more than 50,000 years old, as scholars previously argued.
Cultural anthropologists from the School of Pakistani Studies in Bradford, UK, now believe they have decoded the mystery of the stick in ancient times.
"We know they had sticks in Atlantis and Mu, for example. What is still under debate is what they were used for," said Dr P.B. Karnal, who headed the Stick project.
"We now have some answers. The texts we studied refer to a form of mind control, akin to the mainstream media today. Apparently, it was very effective. You could point the stick at someone and stop them thinking completely."
Dr Karnal believes that with the right training, this technology could be harnessed today. "We would need to skill up a whole new generation of witchdoctors and medicine persons. Right now, the training only goes up to Certificate IV level. The Faculty have been lobbying for degree status in this area for quite some time."
Currently in Australia to present his research paper, Dr Karnal warns those who want to use the technology for evil over good. "In the wrong hands, of course, the stick could be a huge problem. We believe it should only be used by those with the right ethical training. Those trained in Pakistani logic and thought control would be most suitable."
Dr Karnal will present his project's findings to the Asia-Pacific Conference on Post Colonial Studies in Darling Harbour, Sydney, this Friday.
