I think you need to look up on commonly acknowledged history. We know quite alot more than just "big evil reptiles long ago and we came later".

you can find more about the history of mankind on earth in ten minutes on the internet than was available to the whole of mankind 50 years ago
thats if you use the right sites of course
how would you know if someone/other civilisations existed?

because mankind has only been capable of forming civilisations for the last 11,500 years
and any civilisation that existed in that timeframe would leave lots of traces both physically and genetically
and there aren't any

au contraire
satellite imaging is being used by archaeologists to find buried settlements
and mtdna studies have been completed by mainstream science
the only people blathering about lost civilisations are those who generally have had no formal training in any field which would enable them to speak with any authority
funnily enough its these same people who are generating the idea that mainstream science is covering up the truth
because without that belief system their work would be seen for what it really is
utter crap
i notice you ignore the fact that all of the theories in your previous post have that small little missing link tugging at them
the people who started the field of archeology in the first place had exactly as much training as those you listed above.
we havent wavered from those theories in two hundred years
troy or thor heyerdahl
you know as well as i do that amatuers are the only people who can examine the evidence with an open minded view
if archeologists want to continue to receive grants and enjoy acceptance in the community, they had damn well not stray from the mainstream party line.
some of the "amateurs" you have listed below have become quite knowledgeable over the years. 8 years in the field is just as good is some instances as 8 years in college
i never said that they are intentionally covering anything up. but i do believe that they refuse to look beyond accepted theory and really examine the possibility that mainstream science may not have all of the answers.

none of those people i listed has ever done any archaeology whatsoever
they have all written books based on their imaginations and the work of previous pseudohistorians
they have all gotten rich from selling books with impossible dreams to a general public who don't know enough about the subject to be able to tell the truth from the lies
Archaeology is a science
it has progressed a great deal in the last 200 years
it now utilises every piece of modern technology available
Schlieman discovered Troy from using known archaeological practices. He then proceeded to butcher the site and make claims about it based not on solid archaeological practice but based on his imagination that the work of Homer was true word for word. He was very disappointed that he didn't find a huge wooden horse in the rubble
Heyerdhal proved that it was possible to almost make a long ocean journey in a reed boat using modern maps and navigation techniques
he at no time proved that anyone in the ancient world did it
nor that they were motivated to
Amateurs do not have an open minded view
often they have decided on a theory without looking at the evidence
they then procced to excavate without noting stratiography and without ensuring discovered artifacts remain uncontaminated
as such even if some amateur found Excalibur sticking out of a block of granite the discovery would be next to worthless
How many archaeologists have you actually spoken to Snafu
that real archaeologists have to hide any discoveries that they make
it simply isnt true
any archaeologist who uncovered the mother ship from alpha centauri would be phing the press 20 seconds later
Archaeologists are dedicated professionals who need to do at least three years studying at university to be able to call themselves that and there is not one of them who bothered to get into the field in the first place because they wanted to cover up the truth
once again I'd ask you how many archaeologists have you spoken to on this
and if you think this is the case how many links can you provide that prove any archaeologist has covered up the truth
