If it were up to the "academics", and "great institutions" such as the Smithsonian, our (the public) knowledge of history would be whatever they say it is. No Questions Asked! They would prefer to keep us in perpetual darkness about anything that doesn't fit their religious convictions. I have said this before, and I'll say it again. The whole "peer reviewed" academic institution, are nothing but a bunch of grifter's and con artists, with the exception of a few maybe.

Troy was quite different:

Almost upon first digging into it, it was clear that the site he was uncovering had been an important city in antiquity. For one, this mound had many levels which meant the city had been rebuilt several times but, more important to Schliemann, it had large walls just as Homer describes those around Troy.
My biggest beef with this whole thread is the bashing of these people who believe in what they're doing so much, they're willing to invest their own money to find enough evidence to present to the "academics" and the public. And then being told by you they aren't qualified to find that evidence, because they will just ruin artifacts and destroy the site.
It's way too easy to take this stance. Because it allows the TPTB to dictate what gets discovered or covered. What gets funding, and what doesn't. That's quite convenient. So yes, the academia, as a whole, are quite controlled in what they write, say, or do. And many are part of that government you are trying to fight.

Those who come to this site, looking only for people who are like minded are missing out on the true spirit of debate, and the great strides in knowledge and understanding that come from challenging and stretching ones core beliefs and convictions.
The last update of this page irna.lautre.net... was May 2007, I wonder what has happened since in this regard?
