    Every time I hear "Atlantis" being shoehorned into thes theories of real places I wonder how long will it be until future humans think Hogwarts or Middle Earth were real places too, not just literary creations, and start actually looking for them. Judging by the state of things, I suppose it won't be long now…

    European archeologists telling you what other nations hidden rituals were, but don't know our own….. Whilst pillaging everything of value and putting it into a museum. Strange, there's nothing resembling Christianity in these museums.

    Zahi Hawass has done more to set back the learning associated with the Egyptians and their incredibly advanced knowledge base by 1000 years. Hawass’ political connections has essentially set him up as a “gatekeeper” of historical information that could enlighten historians the world over. However, Hawass has found a way to privatize and attach himself to this find, so he’s now found a way to generate a significant line of income since all “inspection” requests MUST be approved by himself, or in extreme situations, the approval of someone on his team!

    This might be the biggest has been YouTube channel ever. 25 million subs and after a day it only has 25k views? I remember watching a lot of these videos. But ironically enough. It seems like politics killed this channel in the most hilarious way possible.

    14:05 “Murder,” “slavery,” “human trafficking,” & or “pimping” was more random than a common cold for “ancient” ppl who settled in isolated places, since “Murder,” “slavery,” “human trafficking,” & or “pimping’s” arguably the most deadliest sins/crimes in modern times, despite urban areas being abundant with more tech for more outreach, so “Murder,” “slavery,” “human trafficking,” & or “pimping” inevitably ran rabidly rampant during times without moder tech mitigation…

    … the isolation’s still @its core’s the inability to procure an “actual” sense of “secured personal-space.” They clean these places-up lyk paleontology. They all always leave-out the lack of plumbing, vaccines, & or refrigerators during dinosaur times, the same way “ancients settlement” documentaries leave out how survival of the fittest was blood, & stone, tooth, & nail…

    …modern times are the same, in that “arrogance” is the modern equivalent of “settled ancient” cavemen, & or women “ignorance” whom which couldn’t/can’t make adequate sense of each, & foreveryone individual(s) need to have access to “actually secured personal-space(s)”…

    …”arrogance” isn’t weather/waterproof, let alone bulletproof so modern man, & or woman’s excessive “arrogance’s” equivalent to the “ignorance” of “ancient” cavemen, & women who’d settled in “isolated archeological societies” with no remnants of efforts being made to “actually secure personal-space(s)” long since!

    There was an American student of archeology who went to Egypt to PROVE that the pyramids were built by aliens! Much to his chagrin, he was part of the group that excavated the burial site of the pyramid workers. It's very difficult to make a convincing narrative for alien construction when you have the bodies of the Egyptian workers, along with the ruins of their housing and papyrus containing the records of their work teams, their pay, catering, and medical care. The American student had to admit his error and has gone on to be a respected archeologist.
