    ⚖️ Yet the Archaeologists, Anthropologists, and Geologists who will enter these to "Explore and Discover" will not write the greater Facts, as they accept and adhere to a Requirement of their Limited Paradigm. The "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline used as their Foundation of Fact", becomes more apparent as any newer subject of Antiquity is introduced. Megalithic in its structure, be they exterior of the Earth or interior. When even established as a "World Heritage Site", a find is so obvious, validated, and released to the Public that it then can not be denied, (like "Gobekli Tepe" that it rewrote Mainstream's History Timeline) and for fear of further discoveries that could not be contained, "the Global Powers that be" simply hault further escalations, pour Concrete Walkways around it, construct a Canopy, plant Tree Orchards atop the gounds that contain the finds, and make a statement that it is being saved fir Future Generations to unearth, and establish it a Tourist Location and erect a Giftshop. ... Recommend to read this again. Then we are to just accept, at face value, their decision as most correct and their "Stories", not the Findings or the Fact they Damaged the Site and the Artifacts underneath they drilled into and planted Trees upon. This statement validated by the individual who found "Gobleki Tepe", the Archaeologist's wife, also an Archaeologist. Turkey Officials deny the accusations, yet you can clearly see the subjects listed in person or on film. Well, I feel it time to gather All the subjects and their Artifacts that are ignored, including those with Peer Reviewed Science Findings, Journal Published, and call the "Mainstream Archaeologists/Egyptologsts to Court" and let the Legal System deem the facts. Regardless of locale, a Judicial Ruling will have the necessary Illumination on the Facts, so we can proceed in the Ethical Explorations, Researching, and Discoveries.

    • @johnrathbun2943
      @johnrathbun2943 3 місяці тому

      Yes they don't have any trees as you can see. But a very long time ago there was alot of trees there. Deforestation is what caused the loss of trees. Not to mention climate change. Same thing happened in the Sahara desert in Africa. Now about the first to build the wheel, I question that. The first recorded wheel I will agree with that statement. Now as for first civilization. For one define civilization. And as for first city I would say absolutely no. There are other places that predate the flood that are approximately 12,000 years old and even older that had more than just a clan of people living together doing Hunter gatherer stuff. They had permanent settlements with structures with artwork on their columns. Gobecli Tepi to be exact. Now historians want you to believe that these people were extremely primitive. One short step away from knuckle dragging caveman. But yet they can't explain how they made such intricate carvings onto the rock columns. They want you to believe that they just wandered around gathering food. No settlements, no reason to settle down because they didn't know nothing about farming. So why would these knuckle daggers set up multiple columns with intricate carvings that weighted a few tons that were obviously quaried out of the ground and shaped specifically then stood upright for no other reason but because they were bored. If you know anything about the teachings from history and mix that with knowledge about health you will come up with a figure of you had to forage for about 8 or more hours a day to find enough calorie intake to survive as a human species. I'm curious about how long it would take to make just one of those columns even without any carvings and drag it to a specific spot on to of a hill and set it upright? Not to mention "hey let's drag this multiton rock up onto that hill over there because we're bored!" Mind you no steal for chisel to do intricate carving. Yeah something isn't making any sence to me when historians are telling a narrative about human existence. Next thing you know they will bring up the subject of Martians and this guy called Santa Claus and he had a pet Easter bunny. 😅

If he was coming back he would know where ha had hidden the stuff, so surely there would have been some instructions as to passing them on to a descendent, a friend or whoever. 2 the very amount of "thousands" of pounds of gold is doubtful in itself. and 3 no one expects...oh no, that was something else. lol
