Ancient Tech

According to biologists, humans haven't changed physiologically or mentally for the last 100,000 years. We are exactly as were our ancestors of 100 millenia ago. Yet the tenured academics in anthropology and archeology continue to insist that human civilization only started about 6,000 years ago. I thought that obvious discrepancy highly suspicious when I first learned about it at the age of 16 and nothing has occured in the intervening four decades to change my mind. The academics' position, roughly stated, is that our ancestors squatted in caves and ate berries for 94,000 years before some neolithic Einstein shouted "Hey! I've an idea! Let's plant these seeds and capture some animals so we can breed them!"

I call bullshit.

Human civilizations which were at least as advanced as our own have risen and fallen in the long forgotten past -- probably more than once. Even a towering steel skyscraper will turn into a small grassy hill given a few thousand years of neglect and erosion. But stone endures much, much longer and it preserves the clues. This video shows hard evidence of that.

The video also demonstrates the extraordinary lengths to which establishment academics will go in order to protect their carefully nurtured meal ticket. Robert Heinlein once said that "most scientists are just bottle-washers and button-pushers." That has always been true, going back to the very beginning of the scientific revolution. Tycho Brahe, for example, was a Renaissance astronomer who kept meticulous observational records. But he squeezed his observations into the academic consensus which ruled in his day: the celestial spheres. The mathematical contortions required to make the orbits of the planets fit onto a series of made-up spheres that everybody thought constituted the heavens were really quite astounding -- and was of course utter nonsense of the first order. But it was accepted by all "right-thinking scientists" because it kept the very popular idea of an Earth-centric universe intact. The current "dark matter/energy" silliness is another example of mass delusion among academics in a desperate bid to keep a flawed theoretical model intact, but I'll not get sidetracked on that right now, as I've covered it previously on this blog in quite a lot of detail.

Anyway, Brahe's understudy -- basically an indentured servant -- was Johannes Kepler. Unbeknownst to his social-climbing master, Mr Kepler was a true mathematical genius. He looked at Brahe's data and saw something very different than make-believe heavenly spheres. When he broached his ideas, he was berated by Brahe and laughed at by all mainstream academics. Johannes Kepler, you may recall, would go on to write the laws of orbital mechanics. He was the man who laid the foundation upon which we would later put men on the Moon. Today, Tycho Brahe is remembered only as a fat fool with a taste for fancy living.

So when someone is mocked and ridiculed by "mainstream academia," it might behoove you to pay attention to what they are saying. Often as not, those are the real scientists and scholars, men who yearn for facts and discovery rather than privilege and influence. While the Tycho Brahes of the world are busy hobnobbing with the social elite, men of moral courage are willing to risk their professional reputations in order to advance our understanding of the world. Keep that in mind as you watch the video.
