Can You Dig It?


I've always thought that in another life I might have been an archaeologist! Not the "Time Team" archaeologist type with knitted jumper, wellies and a ponytail. More like an Indiana Jones or a Jack West character, as in "Seven Ancient Wonders" by Matthew Reilly. At the moment I'm reading "The Alexander Cipher" by Will Adams, concerning a quest to discover the long lost tomb of Alexander the Great. So far, so good. I like the idea of an individual making a discovery that not only alters everyone's perception of the past, but has an affect on the future of the World too. Like in "The Last Testament" by Sam Bourne, where a Sumerian clay tablet looted from a museum in Baghdad turns out to be the last will and testament of Abraham the patriarch.

With me so far, thought not, but let me continue anyhow! I like to revisit themes, so let's imagine for an instant that your understanding of history is fatally flawed, that what you believe to be true is fabrication and in some instances the reality might possibly be very difficult for you to believe. I particularly suspect that the chronology of events might be particularly faulty, because there are inherent problems with carbon dating which have never been properly addressed. This has a knock-on effect on theories of evolution and definitely on human evolvement.

I have posted before regarding my suspicions that perhaps mankind has achieved similar peaks of civilization to the one we're at right now. Perhaps many millenia ago, a civilization not so unlike ours reached a similar juncture and blasted itself back into the Pre-historic. Think about it, if every technological item you had was taken from you, being so reliant on mass production for everything you have, how long would it take for you to revert to a primitive existence? How long would it take you to abandon every aspect of education and knowledge beyond what was required to survive day-to-day? Not long I suspect, and especially so if there were very few survivors.

On that note, have a very Happy New Year!

Uncovering the Truth Behind Perpetuated Lies !



Returning to a subject I promised to cover before being side-tracked with College work, Election fever and what not: Archaelogical cover-ups! I'll examine one in detail, but just keep an open mind, that's all I ask, and remember, the man wants to control what you think, believe and perceive to be true. I am not the man!

The best case I've seen yet was the discovery by Dr Virginia Steen-McIntyre, a geologist working for the US Geological Survey (USGS), who was dispatched to an archaeological site in Mexico to date a group of artifacts in the 1970s. The case illustrates how far established scientists will go to preserve persisting beliefs regarding human history.

McIntyre used state-of-the-art equipment and backed up her results by using four different methods, but her results were off the chart. The lead archaeologist expected a date of 25,000 years or less, and the geologist's finding was 250,000 years or more.

The figure of 25,000 years or less was critical to the Bering Strait "crossing" theory, and it was also the motivation behind the head archaeologist's tossing Steen-McIntyre's results in the circular file and asking for a new series of dating tests. This sort of reaction does not occur when dates match the expected chronological model that supports accepted theories. By the way, the secondary dating pushed the find back even further, and the fact that the artifacts were below a volcanic deposit layer further confirmed the dating.

Steen-McIntyre was given a chance to retract her conclusions, but she refused. She found it hard thereafter to get her papers published and she lost a teaching job at an American University. This incident is one of thousands where experts have put their necks on the line to tell the truth only to be destroyed by the back-room, old boy network, who don't want to see any anomalous findings completely over-turning their lifetime's work and theories. You can see where they''re coming form, but it's just plain wrong! It's not just our concept of historical events that are at stake, but the theory of human evolution also, for there's mounting evidence to suggest that Darwin was talking bollocks!

Other examples I urge you to investigate yourself are:
