If you cant accept that the same signature exist on sophisticated ancient stone construction. Cocaine and Nicotine found in mummies, along with boomerangs and marsupial bones, found in Egypt hold no significance, because it goes against historical dogma and offends the accepted Paradigm, to think this was even possible when we at the wave front of history should be the most advanced that the Earth has produced, when with each passing decade, the evidence of our practical devolvement becomes more glaringly obvious as the generations pass. All I can suggest is for you to study Polygonal stonework and then tell me how they did it?

Where has Cocaine and Nicotine been debunked? A reputable Polish scientist living in England proved beyond doubt it was the case.

The tests she carried out are pretty bullet proof.

The passage isn't there, as I explained.
There was once a poster here I held in high esteem named Donner. Donner posted about this - and linked to the section you're interested in - in this post link
Jason Colavito lays out the history of this bull crap claim quite well in one of his blog entries - "The Case of the False Quotes - How Ancient Astronaut Theorists Faked a Hindu Nuclear Explosion." Link

Then it should be a simple matter to provide a citation that links to a paper or st least the identity of this "reputable polish scientist living in England". Could you be any more ambiguous?
various plants other than tobacco are a source of nicotine and two of these, Withania somnifera and Apium graveolens, were known and used by ancient Egyptians
If I was an ancient Trader like a Phoenician, and had got some of the richest countries in the world, exchanging Gold and Silver for my goods, my trade routes would be a state secret. Simply a fact of Trade, if they were not I wouldn't be rich anymore.

Well,
Where shall i begin,
I think I will start here,

If you were a Phonecian, your trade routes were not a secret, by any stretch as those routes were sailed by greeks, five hundred years earlier, and by the Minoans for more than two thousand years before.
What is unlikely is that coc aine and tobacco made it to egypt, the main reason being tobacco is a weed, it grows wild here in central cal, always has, and everywhere it has been introduced it has stayed and become an important crop, because its addictive there is always market. So if tobacco did come from the new world, where did it go for 2500 years, before it shows up again.
And then to that trade thing, when ever two cultures make trade contacts it shows up in the archeological record, like how agean spondylus shows up in baltic sites, oh and baltic amber shows up in the agean.
I'm not speaking to the rest of the claims, but isn't it Mohenjo Daro as far as location,

Well here is a shot of an Indian city with the bodies strewn on the streets.
That's all nice and well, I assume it refers to the ancient city of Jodhpur. But skeletons spread throughout a city do not necessarily equate to ancient nuclear warfare.
Is there any conclusive evidence for raditation levels being higher than the normal variations in background radiation? Or is it all just hearsay? If we conclude that a nuclear catastrophe took place in ancient times, one would think that we'd be able to come up with lots of hard evidence to prove said event.
While I do think there are still mysteries to solve regarding our origins, I also think we need to be careful regarding the sources. I prefer checking them instead of blindly referencing other sites. A good start would be to check the alleged quotes of the Mahabharata that are said to describe the effects of nuclear fallout.

Seven thousand years ago is before recorded history, so anything could have happened. When sophisticated stone work existed back then that could not be replicated in this day and age, we can only speculate on what could have been possible.
Have you been on an archaeology dig? (no, seriously!) They're fun and you will quickly find out just how much evidence is "laying around in the ground." There is no "sophisticated stonework" from 5,000 BC and we can indeed (with enough time and money) replicate anything. If Bill Gates funded it, we could build a bigger pyramid than G1.
There can't be a sophisticated civilization without a pre-sophisticated civilization. You don't go from "running away from cave lions and hunting deer" to "making digital watches" overnight.
Suppose the Nazis weren't the first to invent eugenics?
No. You need to put enough of it close enough together to reach critical mass. Hitting it with a hammer won't really do much.
Once you have enriched uranium at a high enough purity, all it takes to create an atomic blast is to hit it with a hammer

I think you are confusing eugenics with genetic engineering. The Nazis "invented" neither.
