I've read how ancient civilizations have mapped Antarctica as being a snow-free land mass. It seems to me that these ancient maps might be proven to be real. The question which now arises is how did they map that land mass so accurately??
Go one step further, the Planes of Nesca [spell check is out, sorry.]
There are many maps that are suposed to be very old that show the coast lines of coasts that at that time were unknown.
Today we find artifacts that may show that humans survived the ice age, lived much as the Escamo and the Lap Landers.
We need to think we are the apex of techology, we are the top of the line in human eveloution. We need to look to our accomplishments as an extension of the lives lived before us---but we still cannot explain how those 2,000 years ago were able to build and grow their civilizations. How could those before us have created things that we could not accomplish today.?
The only record besides the Bible for the past is the books from the Hindi that are very extreme.
We have no idea how life, inventions and lost knowledge was going on in other parts of the world.
A very short time ago, 600 years the Americas, both North and South. The world at that time was a mess of humans with high and low knowledge. We found a way to barge in and change world history.
99% of humanity could not read or write, but they found ways to explore new worlds and draw their own conclusions as to things they found.
Their conclusions were built on their own knowledge of the world, same as when we today find an artifact, we can only judge it by our knowledge of today.
As things come to light today, when we find an artifact, be it map or grave site, we tend to translate the findings as we would see it, and perhaps miss the origional use of that piece of history.
This is one of the fun things about living in the era of today. All the mysterys just wating to be solved, all the questions that may continue for another 2,000 years.
You know, this lost knowledge has for years facinated me---especially the Aunk. Is it possible that that device worked in some way as a block and pully to build the pyrimids,?? The symbol of everlasting life could have come from the invention that helped build the pyrimids .
Spell check went out and I am to busy to recheck spelling sorry.
