Is our past as the history books tell us ,has our past been falsely recorded,glossed over ,covered up or missed out completely.did we loose any valuable writings during the book burnings(There may be two threads here).what do think did and didn't happen in the past?

macdaddy....I think much of it is written in a fairly accurate based on writings and eyewitness accounts..........of course there are variations on each topic throughout time.....but the closer to the present the likelyhood they are more accurate.

I am sure a portion of us was lost during the brown shirts book burnings.

You are right. Several historical people destroyed records, falsified others, and killed people in the know to create a personality cult, which is basically making yourself a living god. Stalin, Hitler, the Kim family etc. I'm sure this has been going on ever since history was written down. Kind of makes one angry.

Especially N Korea. That guy is seriously f****d up. I saw this youtube documentrary where people were crying when a foreign doctor (for free) cured them of cataracts. They cried and thanked the mandatory picture of Kim on the wall, and ignored the doctor and his team completely. Sad.

And it is completely possible to be scared into believing something. I'm sure they actually believe what they are fed.

this is true,when you here somthing so many times you start to believe it.a form of brainwashing.a bit like religion.

the story always tends to be the authors version of events.one thing can be explained in many different ways.who is right in a war...depends which side you are on,take iraq for example.so no, they cannot be proved as accurate beyond reasonable doubt.history is made up in books to portray events that are acceptable to those in control.

history most definitely has some hidden facets to it as a result of perversion, alteration, or elimination but the truth cannot be destroyed.

the truth will always be there,because it happened,but it remains hidden from view.

I think we are a race that has lost much of our memory.

I think that Atlantis was a race of global seafaring peoples whose coastal cities went underwater when sea levels rose after the ice age. Underwater site off the coast of japan supprt this.

Tiunacho at Lake Titticaca is just too strange to fit current history.

Eden was a time not a place. Consider the pillar of fire placed by god to prevent a return to Eden. Probably a reference to the eruption column of the Toba volcano 74,000 years ago. It reduced the human population dramaticly and made survival a struggle compared to an easy pre eruption life. A fall from grace into hard times.

Current archiology explenations for the 800 ton stones at Balbak Lebanon are rediculus.

The stone age may have been something we went back to when technology was lost.

There are anomolies all over the earth that just don't fit into the history we have been spoon fed.

Egyptian constructions may have been an attempt to recapture a technology that was lost.

Truth is IMPOSSIBLE to find in this world man.

no it is not it just seems that way which is exactly why it is so hard to find.

So how can we find it?
I am not prepared to take anyones word as stone cold truth, its a sad situation but there is to many liars on this planet for me to listen to anyone. Truth can only be obtained by finding it out yourself, and most common people dont have the technology or knowledge to do so, well i know i havent anyways! lol

Just my opinion...

Tiunacho at Lake Titticaca

What's that? I couldn't even google it.

even when the truth is buried,it gets dug up sooner or later.

Thanks, mate. Reading it now.

At Bebel Platz where the books of Sigmund Freud and Heinrich Heine were burned in 1933 bz Nazi students, stands a plaque with the quote, "Wherever books are burned, ultimately people are burned as well."

note: not my writing

Burn a book. Hide the answer to the biggest question of all time. Are we alone?

Sounds like two acts on the same theme.

Oppression and control. The motivation being, we know whats best for you because you the masses do not posses the inteligence to understand and have no right to an informed opinion.

How long has this been going on? When will it ever end?

Hitler, Stalin, DoD, there has always been someone who professes to know what is best for everyoone else.

There is allot of history that is fabricated, destroyed. Just look at south Africa, the missionary's taught the Africans that they had no gods before the white men came there, and that they where all just wild savages. And unless i am completely wrong, they still teach that to them. When in reality the Africans did have gods, they had vast knowledge in astronomy. The same can be said of most of the world. The Christians pretty much fucked up the history and knowledge of every place they went to, just so that it would be easier to get a good foothold there.
