All of these archeologists belong to exclusive professional societies. These societies are another "tree" of secret societies. They are bound by oaths as well.
You cannot become a professional without joining the societies. They are heavily regulated. You even think of opening your mouth and you will never go on another dig!

Not true at all, my father was an archeologist and did digs all over the world.
He was not involved with anything like that, I know because before he died he
let me know many of his secrets that were hard for him to discuss... Not to mention that it was his students who ran the C14 lab, this would mean they would all have to be in on it too!

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....

like a physical polar shift hit us, what would be left for anyone in 20000 years time to find?

there are anomalies in our archeological records that seem to raise the hackles of professionals in the field.
Some of them even make sense if you presume that the experts are not the all-knowing keepers of ancient knowledge as popular media labels them.
Personally, I am interested in the debate, and how knowledge evolves from observation to fact in the collective scientific mind.
