There is a vocal minority of researchers, armchair and otherwise, that believe we, as a learned people, have been led to believe nothing less than an outright lie when it comes to human history. Whether or not that may include the actual existence of an Atlantis-like civilization that populated the Earth or that aliens seeded the planet as an experiment, that's where the breadth of the discussion... dissention, even... lays.
Some of the topics that come up when investigating the possibility that there is a "secret history of mankind" can make the intelligent person wonder if they might be reading fantasy, science fiction or at worst, viewing an episode of Mr. Peabody's Wayback Machine. With bestselling authors of fiction (keep that in mind) such as Dan Brown giving the general public some semblance of knowledge into things historically mysterious, more and more people have been inspired to question what we know or have been taught to believe. Now, not attacking Mr. Brown regarding his knowledge of the subject his fiction (again, keep that in mind!) or whether his books are, well, good, I have to give him a little credit in spurring some free thinking amongst the masses, even if it isn't all that well thought out. Is it possible that the Knights Templar were protecting a treasure far beyond that of gold and silver? Sure, why not. Is it possible that the Freemasons were organized to rule countries and governments from behind the curtain? There is some interesting evidence to suggest they might have had a hand or two in some sort of business like that. Does the Vatican have a vast treasure trove of heretical tomes and scrolls that could rival the famed Library at Alexandria? Let's just say Vatican researchers aren't even aware of what they have in their midst. So, Dan Brown, good job opening the doors to let the hounds of media frenzy open. If only those that read your books understood they're fiction!
It's no secret I love history. What I've discovered as I read and research and especially as more and more artifacts are unearthed, is that we might have misrepresented certain parts of our own history. It's no secret that some well read, published and known researchers out there have delved into the mysteries of the past, from the Great Sphinx at Giza, to the Great Pyramids of the same plateau, to the disappearance of the Maya to the purpose of the monoliths that cover the British Isles and Eastern Europe. While reading about all of the above, I've come to believe that what we know, or at least what we think we know, doesn't even scratch the proverbial surface strata.
We know that Leif Eriksson landed in North America long before Columbus stumbled into the Caribbean. We don't know if the Vikings went very deep into the continent or if they went much further south than Nova Scotia. There is evidence they may have. That's enough to question the historians... what took so long for you to officially recognize it? What is there to hide, just in that one little bit of knowledge, that could ruin history as we know it?
Some people are unaware that the natives of North America, the "Indians" to the European settlers, may not have been the first peoples in North America. Known as "Mound People" to researchers, builders of large, earthen structures that dwarf their surroundings in some places, they are mysteries to everyone. Early explorers found the natives living amongst the mounds and they themselves informed the explorers that the mounds predated them. If this might be true, who were these people and why don't we know more about them? Historians wrote them out of the books. I've found more questions than answers about the mounds, their purpose and where they are, or were, in most cases. Many were destroyed for farmland, the objects inside either plowed under or obliterated or maybe taken somewhere. I have a name, a member of our own government, who instructed the mounds to be destroyed, lest the people coming to America believe the land impure! Impure because someone else once lived there!
Learn more about this deranged individual soon. Until then, watch this rather... interesting character.
