What are they afraid of?
Losing control of the masses who work to support TPTB! They have created a fear based system that if one questions, they have historically been arrested, sanctioned, excommunicated, or my favorite...killed.

They don't 100% its an "educated guess". Archeaologists reverse engineered Sumerian by using the Babylonian cuneiform or i should say Zecharia Sitchin since he worked on decoding the Sumerian language for 30+ years. The Hebrew peoples learned babylonian during their exile around 300 B.C. during the reign of Nebuchadnezar II, and it was from these older manuscripts that archeaologists were able to piece together a rough understanding of Sumerian.

The problem is that the bowl in question was found by a farmer and who wouldn't show where he found it other to say it was a cave. The bigger issue is how do you prove it was actually found there? Especially since the museem curator who got it from the farmer in the 50's has been tied to several other fakes over the years. It likely is a real sumerian bowl but probally not found in bolivia.

There was extensive trade between Easter is. and the mainland starting around the 11th century. And there is an ancient coastal city in Peru that is being excavated that's shows the culturL link between the island and mainland. The islanders stoppped travelling to the mainland after they comletely deforested the islands and were no longer able to make the large sea going canoes needed for the trip. The social chaos that ensued after the degradation of the islands environment also caused the mainlanders and the other polynesians to stop visiting the islands. So its not surprising to find some cultural similarities between the islands y areas on the mainland.

Hi Hans, maybe extensive wasn't the best term, but there was enough interchange between the island and mainland that certain motifs have been found on the island and mainland, within a corresponding time frame. I believe the site is very near Tucume,Peru. It was found in the mid '90's and its location is where Hyerdall predicted a port city could be found. It is the one location where the currents and winds will take you to and from Easter island. I read about it in an archeology journal several years ago.

Hi Hans, I remembered something from the article, the researchers had found a a string of characters carved into something that matched a string of characters found on a rongrongo tablet from rapa nui. I'm of the opinon that contact between the island and mainland was only for a brief period and mostly one way ,from the mainland and back. Something I find interesting is the similarity of masonry styles between rapa nui and some of the Peruvian cultures.
Back to the original notion of this thread, although mesopotamian sailors traded with the coastal indus valley city-states it it improbable that they made it to south America and then climbed high into the andes tow carve inscriptions on rocks. After all they were saliors and sailors tend to stay near what they know, the water.

We need a thread to save everybody such a trouble of searching for the truth - since the stubborn egotistical owners of the 'history books' refuse to acknowledge any unwanted change in what they have already considered history, it is a complete shame that they are wrong.
The same culture was present at Peru, Turkey, and Easter Island more than 9,000 years ago, because they made the same kind of artwork.

Funny how a lot of intelligence people agree with me.
originally posted by: greyer And you know what? Those people don't feel a need to be negative in some form or fashion.
originally posted by: greyerI think the negativity is coming from the subconscious, a derivative of ignorance.
originally posted by: greyer Do you think you are the only one who thinks they are right? Do you not think a lot of highly educated people think differently? And not one of them think even in the same context as you in really anything.

Anyone that agrees with you that Easter Island artifacts are 9000 years old is the opposite of intelligent.

Rather, the fact the you put words in my mouth means you are not only ignorant but immature.
Then you try to say I am ignorant and give immature reasons, whatever guy I will show you, I just won't talk to you again lol.
