Some comments on your long (but good) post

1. As an eleven year old I got interested in what is now called fringe materials and later AAT materials. Heyerdahl's Aku Aku lead me into Archaeology. I've always had an interest in fringe (which is why I'm here)

Thats pretty much what I figured.

2. Large scale organization running the world. No, not possible, large organizations require administrative support and always have difficulty communicating, have inner political fights and dissents. This is pretty much true for all human organizations. No such "problems" are evident. Nor is there any motive or purpose to these "impossibly vast and omnipotent" organizations those who believe in them cannot agree as to there purpose.

That explains a lot then (to me). I completely disagree however, though I'm not sure if I should get into it here (off topic), and I understand and once held your views. Perhaps you'd like me to point out some interesting evidence for some sort of Illuminati style group? I don't want to sidetrack this thread too much except to point it out because it changes arguments regarding the existence of ancient advanced civilizations.
By the way, an example of internal dissent is JFK: from a supposed illuminati family bloodline, definitely thought to be part of "it" when put in power, then rebelled once in power and tried to bring down the federal reserve (their private piggy bank) and let the cat out of the bag (see here: www.fdrs.org...). You know the rest of the story.

3. No particular point to suppressing the knowledge of ancient civilizations, if such an organization existed - why did we learn about the Ubaidians, Minoans and Sumerians?

first off, no organisation is perfect. Its a strange argument I've seen in a few places something along the lines of: no massive conspiracy could exist, someone would know about it (forgetting that I'm pointing it out hence know about it) and then, often, a follow up: "if they exist, how do you know about xxx, wouldnt they have covered that up?"!!! jumping from "they dont exist because they couldnt be thorough enough to hide completely" to "they dont exist because they arent hidden completely"....sort of like the hitchhikers guide argument against god involving the babble fish

The mere fact that I think they exist means that, if they do, they either accidentally or deliberately let their existance be known to some extent. Therefore they are not perfect, and us having some (non damaging) knowledge about those cultures is not a surprise. Possible examples of knowledge that could be harmful to them:

- anything showing ancient high tech, on the assumption that they are the remnant of such a civilisation, or have personally discovered and used knowledge from said civilisation, and dont want it known they have it.

- anything which makes people think too much, especially things that undermine "expert opinions", eg atlantis. If mainstream science and archeology could be so wrong about that, what else are they wrong about. MORE IMPORTANTLY, if they had been covering it up for so long, and it eventually got out, people would ask WHY and WHO could cover such a thing up? (yes I know this argument for a cover up is based on the apriori existence of said cover up lol)

RE centuries: I believe this group to have been around in its current form for at least 200 years, in basically its current form for 300 - 400 years, and very likely to have been around in some form or other for millenia (I consider it possible that "they" or precursors to them created Christianity in the first place as a societal control mechanism), although only in the last two hundred years have they really got organised on such a global scale.
