In 1997 Crichton Miller made an astounding discovery that will change our concepts of the historical and religious past forever. Crichton's background and life experiences play a fundamentally important part in this revelation; he is a qualified yachtsman and navigator with an interest in ancient history and religions.
Through the results of intensive research, Crichton proposes that our present system of beliefs and science was inherited from ancient mariners that sailed the oceans of the world in prehistory. He further proposes that the abrupt end of the last ice age, 12,500 years ago, was part of a cataclysm that destroyed of a large part of the flora and fauna of Earth. The most likely humans to survive this cataclysmic event were those who were at sea.
The Antikythera mechanism (pronounced /ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə/ AN-ti-ki-THEER-ə), is an ancient mechanical calculator (also described as the first known mechanical computer[1][2]) designed to calculate astronomical positions. It was recovered in 1901 from the Antikythera wreck but its complexity and significance were not understood until decades later. It is now thought to have been built about 150–100 BC. Technological artifacts of similar complexity did not reappear until a thousand years later.[3]

William Henry methinks zorgon!
According to author William Henry, the ancient world knew of special connecting places between heaven and earth that were called Tula or the City of Peace, and were considered the navel or center of the world. Mesoamericans such as the Mayans, Asians and Egyptians all believed in a special place on the earth where star people came and deposited great libraries of wisdom inside crystal repositories. Almost always, these connecting places or "docking stations" are referenced by the name Tula.

A new paper from the Antikythera Mechanism Research Project (AMRP) is published in the prestige science journal Nature on July 31st 2008. It reveals surprising results on the back dials of the Antikythera Mechanism - including a dial dedicated to the four-year Olympiad Cycle of athletic games in ancient Greece.

While worth watching if you're into this stuff I would not get friends and family to watch it.

What if your 'friends' are into this stuff?
I doubt it, I bet you make a judgement on anything you recommend someone to watch. So why the angst over my personal judgement about not recommending it to family and friends who I know don't like fanciful conspiracy videos?
Maybe try and persuade me why it is worth recommending to all and sundry instead of claiming some moral high ground about filtering what I recommend.

Now YOU said...
"Do you recommend crappy movies to your friends and family to watch? "
YOU are confused

If all you want is positive feedback just say so in the OP.
We had secured special permission to be there, but only because Zahi had not arrived back from a trip to the USA. In the morning our motley group had been playing follow the leader to a guide specially appointed to us. We knew he was with us more to discover our plans than to play nursemaid on the plateau. We were all very pushy however and stretched the hospitality. This led to free entrance into off limits tombs and into the Solar boat exhibition at the side of the Great Pyramid. Even with our reluctant permissions we detected a growing nervousness in our guide and in the official people we met along the way. Apparently Zahi was due back early and everyone was scared.
Zahi Hawass has the final word in everything that happens on the plateau. Woes betide anyone who does not receive his permission first. We timed our approach to the right people while he was away and won our limited freedom. We wanted our private time in the King’s Chamber. We were going to be allowed plenty of time from the midday closing time to tourists, but Zahi’s impending arrival and the worker’s paranoia cut our chances considerably.

Of what use is negative feedback?
So DO you have any positive comments to add to the discussion?

Negative feedback is often more useful than positive.
If you surround yourself with yes men you get what you deserve.
