The biggest shame is that modern Mankind was robbed of vital historically advanced technology by the Spanish Inquisition when they wiped out most of the history of The Mayans, Incas and Aztecs. They destroyed Temples, stone tablets and entire cities and civilizations. All in the name of some bullcrap fairy tale that is the biggest lie ever told. ~SheopleNation

Importantly, the 'writing' on the object is clearly very recent and has been etched or scratched on the surface of an older object.
Peru is also on the opposite side of the Americas so if the proto-Sumerians were to get there in their imaginary ships, they'd be travelling some 7000 miles and crossing the S American landmass to get there. Alternatively, they could go the other way round which would total nearer to 17000 miles by sea.
The Vikings, Norsemen and Columbus travelled much less further with the height of technology and we are led to believe that some pre-bronze age villagers had beaten them by 7000 years? Not likely.
As Christians gained dominance in the region, they felt uncomfortable with pagan temples full of pagan documents. In 391 AD, Theophilus, the patriarch of Alexandria, urged a mob to destroy the temple at Serapis, presumably at the same time destroying whatever books were left in the daughter library. This was hailed as a great victory of the Christians over the pagans.
The final fire was in 645 AD, when the Moslem caliph Omar conquered Egypt. The story is that Omar was asked what to do about the books in the library, and gave the reply: "If the books agree with the Koran, they are not necessary. If they disagree, they are not desired. Therefore, destroy them." According to tradition, the scrolls were used as fuel to provide hot water for the soldiers' baths for six months.

There would still be wars. It's human nature...
If one farmers field stopped yielding for some reason, or if the well went dry, or draughts, famine or other tragedies occurred, making it impossible for him to feed his family, he would then do whatever it takes to get what he needs. If it meant conquering a weaker farmers better yielding land, then he would do it, in the name of survival.
There will always be conflict and war.
We, humans act the way we do because we are imperfect.
No big deal, that's just the way we are.
Yes, I believe there is a planned suppression of our freedoms and intelligence that doesn't make our situation any better. But, in the end we need to accept responsibility for our own actions and what is our human nature. If we are ever going to make a positive change we need to start right there.

Drawing up such a thing is possible, but a better option might be for folks to compile for me a list of resources on major civilizations, including links to websites with timelines and links to websites with discussions of language, cultural artifacts, and common symbols. I can "sticky" it at the top of this section.
yikes. that's a tall order. i had a website called the secrets of sumer that had all these links, separated into categories, but isn't on the net. i do still have it on my desktop in a folder tho. but isolating it into categories for ats, would be really complicated.
While it is not difficult to dismiss this claim, what is difficult to dismiss is the claim of some scientists that they found evidence of coc aine and tobacco (not know to be grown outside the Americas before the Europeans "discovered" the Americas) in the mummies of Egypt. While different scientists, none of whose integrity was suspect, published such findings, one would have thought more people would have done similar research precisely becuase they challenge conventional notions and either confirmed them or dismissed them as errors. What is intriguing is that little further research has been done.
That's funny reason to dismiss the possibility. Ancient Greeks were scientifically more advanced than their descendents a few millennia later. There is no reason why knowledge and technologies cannot be lost. Sure, a lot more evidence is needed than one artifact or presence of some alkaloids to conlcude that they did, but genuine evidence is sufficient to suspect that they did.

is it possible that ancient civilizations were at the level we are now and somehow they collapsed (nuke war???) and we are repeating what they've been through. Who knows how many times and for how long this has been happening with our planet as the only witness of it all.edit on 6-9-2011 by Picollo30 because: (no reason given)edit on 6-9-2011 by Picollo30 because: (no reason given)

Losing control of the masses who work to support TPTB! They have created a fear based system that if one questions, they have historically been arrested, sanctioned, excommunicated, or my favorite...killed.

Zecky had nothing to do with the translation of Sumerian which was cracked because of its association with Akkadian translation began in the 19th century.
