    Alex come on .

    Money and power .

    But more importantly ; we give no value to these peoples' way of life .

    They MUST be educated towards our thinking .

    I value their way of primative life as I do research into anti-gravity ; and Natural Medicine ; etc.

    Despite all the adversity, people keep moving forward. We seem to be built for conflict. What is perfection in such a world?

    I thought that was what I was hinting at...at least the power side.

    The Tower of babel . Explains alot .

    And the military complex makes money on conflict .

    We are not built for conflict ; we are manipulated towards conflict .

    Conflict is entertainment in the modern world. Turn on your television. Of course I am using the word in a very broad sense. Possibly I should say, adversity is the human experience in one form or another. It seems to be our disposition in life, to struggle.

    Maybe some time you can explain what it is about our ancient past that they are misrepresenting. Since much of it was never recorded, it would seem to be up for speculation. But I'm all ears and ready to listen.

    They are not misrepresenting ; they are blocking public access .

    Explain. Is this a conspiracy? Certainly, in the past, history has been written by the victors. Is that what you are conveying?

    Clearly you need to more informed on our ancient past .

    It is not about war ; although war nowadays is a wealth driven enterprise ; in the end it's about information .

    Well, educate me. What is it about ancient history that I should know? My vague understanding is that we started out as hunter/gatherers, graduated to agriculture, then mechanize with the industrial revolution. Culturally, we have always been tribal. Even today we gravitate towards those with whom we share commonality.

    Why can't you just summarize it with your own words? Wet my appetite and give me good reason to pursue your reading assignment.

    Because there are in the ancient past are allagories that are at least 1000yrs older that then biblical story of the flood.

    Uh, so you are referring to biblical history relative to human history? Or are you referring to common themes in past mythology that have surfaced many times throughout history, including before the Bible? Yes, many of our traditions in Western culture--and Christian culture--are built on past cultures. Some stories are just naturally compelling, and they are retold over and over, again and again, throughout time. Star Wars comes to mind.
