The oldest civilization that left ruins was Mesopotamia, and the oldest city was Babel. It was built by Nimrod, and it was built about 4 thousand years ago. The dating used by 'modern archaeology' is incorrect. There is nothing older than 4500 years ago. The 7 thousand years date is wrong. However, there was a civilization that dates back to 4000 BC, but no one has found physical evidence of it. The Mesopotamian civilization appeared suddenly after the Flood of Noah from a former advanced civilization. See my books.
(The end of my sentence didn't show up)... quite indicative of what is so fundamentally wrong with our educational system, our American centrism, and the evident arrogance which being the only true world power has inflicted upon the population. As sad as these realizations are to me, at least they do explain why you believe it to be acceptible to attack a stranger for political beleifs which you assumed they hold with no real evidence to support that belief, rather than engage in civil discourse and debate.
I find your assumption that I am a liberal to be quite amusing, and sadly all too common for many conservatives, leading those who actually are of the liberal left to believe the stereotyped image of what conservatives think, feel and believe, not to mention highlighting some of the worst, such as the notion that conservatives display all of the the arrogance and ignorance they like to claim the liberal left posesses.
I am a libertarian, for the record. In fact, I'm so far right of conservatives in enough respects that my truly liberal sister- an English professor- believes me to be a greater evil in the world than our conservative Catholic parents, while my parents believe me to be so liberal as to warrant the dubious honor of holding the title of Black Sheep of the family.
I am highly educated, but really, sir, does it take a college degree to understand that human history goes back a lot further than the founding of the United States? I don't need to revise history because I'm actually speaking of its entirety, not merely the paltry 241 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed, or the 525 years since Columbus and his motley band of sailors stumbled upon the Carribean islands which you are referring to regarding the history of slavery. And by the way, slavery has been a part of the human condition for as long as historic records have been kept, meaning it was happening long before Christianity was founded. Tell me again how most slaves were evangelicised throughout human history, so I can make it crystal clear to all who read this that just as a blind squirrel can manage to find a nut now and then, so can ignorant and arrogant fools manage to compose responses to topics they believe themselves to posess superior knowledge of, when in reality, its remarkable they can even pronounce three syllable words. Frankly, I'm amazed that people like you are even allowed in public without a caregiver leading them by the elbow.
and I find your narrow views of both history and of people you do not know to be quite
I have never read such an arrogant comment like yours! How dare you to call others dumb if you are the one with a narrow mind! These people you call dumb are people who think for themselves instead of believing those who claim to speak for your so called God! If you educated yourself more you would see that older cultures had more than one God and even the Bible sugests more than one God. When God wanted to create mankind he said: Let US create man in OUR image! Who do you think he is refering to? And don't come with the BS story the holy ghost, and the son!
This is exactly one of the topics I was hoping to find in this forum. My interest in translating ancient documents began when I was about 9 or 10 years old. I found a book in the library that had the alphabet in cunieform and began pouring over it’s pages, creating line after line of cunieform sentences. I began to take an interest in Mayan writings in college as I learned more about acient MesoAmerican studies. Mayan, Incan, and Aztecs civilizations caught my attention the most and I, eventually, became fixated on the Mayan Codex. That interest stayed even after knowing that the Mayan Code had been cracked.
I love the art of their acient language, the language’s enduring strength (because people still speak it today), and the beauty of the Mayan culture and people. I LOVE the discoveries that are being made all the time in MesoAmerica. I am so enthralled with the relationship that language, in general, has on culture, in general. There are so many aspects of this topic that ignite my intellectuall thought process and it excites me like NOTHING else can!
Thank you for posting this! I hope to see many more posts on acient Mayan documents in the future.
This could possibly be the first star map of the ancients as these occure through out europe and some in the middle east, We could be looking at a great discovery here these need to be checked by astrologers from around the world it maybe the key to unlocking the bigeest question of all time.
Cool. I like ancient art, and the ancient desert cities of stone. Would be quite a sight to see, whatwith the lack of ugly advertisements, and ugly signs, and ugly whatnot.
It's fine if anyone takes it, and it's better in the hands of some anonymous looter if he treats it well, rather than in the field of modern science, which is the nihilistic morally-relativistic cult of oligarchic truth-twisting dogmatists with corncobs shoved up their butts.
I'm Scythian by blood, so feeling pretty badass. I think the Scythians also killed Ghengis Khan's men when they entered the Pontic Steppes, and put fear in the Greeks, when Herodotus mentioned that the Scythians worked their prisoners to death, and blinded the prisoners with hot pokers.

Well I was with you until you wandered off topic with the painting of Guadalupe. It is, afterall, just a painting on fine linen not an Aztec peasants tilma, and one that’s been provably altered over the centuries. It’s likely a copy of the flag Columbus flew. Historically, there is no one named Juan Diego, nor a tomb, and the known Bishop of that time period doesn’t even mention the event in his writings. The story only comes to light 50-75 years after his death. Compared with the mass witnessing of a light disc moving about the sky at Fatima - The two are not even remotely similar. One has possibilities, whether spiritual or extraterrestrial. The other (Guadalupe) is just a hoax; Something concocted by the Chirch to supplant the pre-existing Aztec shrine of Tonazin on that same location.
It is also very telling that the ultimate description of the vision of Fatima was altered as well to place it more in line with the Catholic church’s desires: from 3 feet tall and bald to a full grown woman with hair. Quite a leap (of faith).
Yaweh or El was but one of a whole lot of Middle Eastern gods. His attributes gradually evolved over the millennia into the God Jews, Christians and Islamists believe in. Whether he is (or was) real or not is another matter.
Because in Medieval times, people didn't "just tell stories". Stories that got told and retold widely and survive down the ages were deliberate efforts to preserve coded knowledge about royal, spiritual, or political secrets, because they were dangerous ideas.
"The shroud of Turin fake or not it is not the image of Jesus"
Bingo!
The Shroud of Turin is NOT a fake and it is NOT the image of Jesus.The dating of "prior to 1390" is spot on. Jesus wasn't the only man who was crucified and survived. Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the Knights Templar was arrested by France's King Phillip IV in 1307 and Grand Inquisitor Guillaume Imbert put him through a blow-by-blow re- enactment of Jesus's crucifixion. For a final twist of irony, he wrapped de Molay's tortured body in a shroud similar to that of Jesus in 1312. De Molay survived, recanted his confession and was burned to death in 1314. The Church won't claim the shroud as that of Jesus because it isn't.

E.B.
That's possible. Seven dwarves, like the seven demons Jesus drove out of Mary Magdalene, which people interpret as the seven deadly sins.
That's Sleeping Beauty. A different fairy tale
What is truly silly is that you conflate two supposed events 3,000 years apart.
