1) Why do archeologsts get paranoid, agressive when there is a mention of a culture or civilization that is more then 10.000 years old.
2) Why doctor Zari Hawass the director of Giza Plateu excavation zone gets on the absolute agressive stand when there is ever a mention of rainfall erosion on the Sfinx (last great rainfalls:11000 - 10000 bc
3) Why Archeologists go into absolute silence when someone says anything about the Serbian 3-side piramid near Sarajevo - Bosnia built 10.000 bc built out of a better material than modern concrete (super concrete)
4)Why is there absolute silence in the MSM about radioactive debris found in old antique by "fire" destroyed cities in Pakistan and India
The great library of Alexandria once contained one million volumes in
which the entire science, philosophy and mysteries of the ancient world
were recorded (including a complete catalogue of authors in 120 volumes,
with a brief biography of each author). In a single act of vandalism, Julius
Caesar destroyed 700,000 priceless scrolls. In the seventh century, the
Arabs completed the wipeout. Do you know how they did it? They used the
books as a fuel supply to heat the city’s 400 public baths for six months.
Totally destroyed also were the papyri of the library of Ptah in Memphis.
Carthage, with a library of 500,000 volumes, was razed in a seventeen-day
fire by the Romans in 146 B.C.
The library of Pergamos in Asia Minor (with 200,000 volumes) likewise
perished.
When the famous collection of Pisistratus in Athens was wiped out (in
the sixth century). surprisingly Homer’s writings escaped.
In the eighth century, Leo Isaurus burned 300,000 books in
Constantinople. In China, Emperor Tam Shi Hwang-ti issued an edict (213
B.C.) to destroy innumerable books.
Thousands of Druidic scrolls in Autun, France, on philosophy, medicine,
astronomy and other sciences, were obliterated by Julius Caesar. Not one
survived.
Much classical literature was systematically destroyed by the papal
Inquisition.
Spanish conquerors searched out and destroyed the entire Mayan
literature (except for four documents now in European museums). It was
related that Mayan scholars screamed in agony as they saw their life’s
purpose go up in flames. Some committed suicide.
The Council of Lima (1583) decreed the burning of the knotted cords
(“quipas”) on which the Incas had recorded their history and that of their
predecessors.
What a story of carnage, in which the greatest depositories of
knowledge from the ancient world are lost forever! (Yet somehow the
Indian books escaped.) Did you know that even of the Greek and Roman
literature, less than 1 percent has come down to us?

Is it any wonder we are ignorant of our early heritage? I agree with
Andrew Tomas that “we have to depend on disconnected fragments, casual
passages and meagre accounts. Our distant past is a vacuum filled at
random with tablets, parchments, statues, paintings and various artifacts.
The history of science would appear totally different were the book
collection of Alexandria intact today.”

The destruction of printed records has been much greater than was
originally thought.
Archaelogist Jonathan Gray stumbled upon something that shocked him!...a whole cache of "out of place" items that should not exist. And they weren't just in one place. There was a global pattern to them. This pattern showed a lost science and technology. That's when he knew someone had to speak up. This content was of tremendous value.

I'd say there as a really huge conspiracy and cover up being done, with no logic at all being used.
Any one of these things would have changed history and rewritten our books, except they all ignore, or say hoax for no reason, when this incredible mounting evidence is before our eyes, often carbon dated, and wonderous.

If civilizations existed 100,000 years ago then scientists would have to explain where all of these people went. Obviously, their lineage was destroyed, their advances were destroyed, as well as any other "traces" that may have been left behind. (I am referring primarily to the lack of what we find -- considering the amount of time humans may have existed -- we should be inundated with bones, skulls, artifacts, etc.)

Now, to say that there were people that roamed the Earth back then, and subsequently disappeared, you are opening up the entire possibility that what is written in religeous texts, on the pyramids, etc. may in fact be TRUE.

Imagine if the Mayan stories about wood people, etc. were true? That four entire species of humans were destroyed prior to this one?
What a can of worms that would open.

I've always thought that most of the references to serpents, gods, etc. from ancient texts are more likely to be cosmic events, such as meteors, CME's etc. Without technology or the capability to understand what CME's, for example, are comprised of -- I can completely understand describing it as a "serpent on fire" that extended from the heavens above.
The problem with saying that part of, any part, of the Bible, Quaran, etc. is TRUE, then people will begin to seek out WHAT ELSE within those texts is true.

One can not say that humans have existed, and evolved, beyond what we see today. To acknowlegde that, would acknowledge the realization that at some point, our current line of humans too will disappear.
Originally posted by lpowell0627
The majority of society can't handle that. Couple that with the theory about leaps in evolution occurring fully every 26,000 years -- with various changes on a smaller scale occurring at the midpoint of 12,000 years -- and viola!
Chaos.

No scientist is going to set an end date for civilization. And no, saying something along the lines of "billions of years from now" is hardly pinpointing extinction. No matter whether they say we have 5 years, 100 years, 1000 years, or 5000 years -- that will be carried throughout and eventually that society will have to deal with it. And it won't be pretty.

I too, have been wondering about what it is about pre-10000 that drives the archaeologists crazy. The water erosion of the Sphynx is the one that really provides the 'proof' in my mind. Geologists confirm it, Egyptologists deny it....vehemently. very strange.
I wonder if there wasn't at least one if not more very advanced civilizations before us. Think about it....until roughly 160 years ago or so mankind was in the stone age. Then, boom! We rapidly developed technology that can take us into space.
Who's to say that same thing didn't happen 20,000 years ago? Almost all evidence would be gone by now if it was destroyed in some cataclysm. Look at houses and buildings from as few as 50 years ago...if they aren't taken care of, they return to nature quickly. All our plastic would disintegrate over time...in 20,000 years there will be very little left to prove we were here. Maybe a few concrete structures but not much else....
I wonder if TPTB know the truth of earlier civs. and choose not to tell us for fear of panic....if we knew that we were going to be destroyed how likely would our society be of having the motivation to advance?
Curiouser and curiouser....
