Modern Misconceptions

History is intricate, and as a result, many misconceptions have been created. Pseudoarcheology and other sources often spread these inaccuracies, and being mindful of these falsehoods is essential to comprehend history in a precise manner.

Listed below are 6 modern misunderstandings, usually disseminated by those who have very little knowledge on the topic in question. These individuals contribute to the dialogue in a damaging way, while further solidifying their own ill-informed opinion on a certain part of history.

1. Ancient civilizations were more advanced than we are today, or had access to advanced scientific knowledge. This statement is incorrect because while ancient civilizations made many important advances, such as the invention of writing, the wheel, and mathematics, they did not have access to the same level of technology that we have today. People think it is true because they tend to romanticize the past, and overlook the fact that our current technology has enabled us to make much greater advances than were possible in ancient times. Sources which promote ancient aliens, or previously unknown civilizations, do so only by referring to conjecture and not verified facts.

2. Ancient cultures were in contact with extraterrestrial beings. No evidence exists to support this notion. There is no ancient literature or artifacts that suggest ancient cultures were in contact with extraterrestrial beings. Even though people today may consider this to be a fact, due to the prevalence of science fiction, the lack of evidence means that this cannot be accepted as fact. Most misinterpret ancient literature to mean something that it doesn't, for example Gods coming from the sky. When in fact the gods were described as coming from heaven. In the oldest sources of ancient literature indicate heaven to be a physical location situated atop a ziggurat.

3. Ancient kings or patriarchs lived extremely long lives. This notion comes from a few ancient sources which portray certain individuals to have lived for an unrealistic duration of time. Sources such as the Sumerian King List and Biblical Genesis are two of the main proponents of this notion. This is due to the fact that before a certain period, the duration of a year was not yet ascertained. Before a year was defined as 12 months, ancient cultures such as Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, and more, all considered a month as a year. This allows us to easily calculate a biblical patriarch who lived 950 years, to be roughly 76 years old (Inflated age / 12.36 months = Actual Years).

4. Ancient cultures had advanced knowledge of astrology and astronomy. The main reason why people think this is true is because of the appeal of the idea that ancient people had knowledge and insights that surpass our own. Modern people's bias leads them to believe that ancient societies had a deep understanding of the universe. When in fact, the universe to them was defined as a specific piece of land where four different cultures met. Those cultures or regions being Amurru, Subartu, Elam, and Sumer. Where these four met was referred to as the four corners of the universe, and the rulers who established these regions were often referred to as creators of the universe. Also, many conclude a planetary body was identified, and then later assigned to a given deity. However, it is actually the deity's name that was assigned to the planet. For example Pluto in Roman times had no connection to the dwarf planet Pluto. It was only in later times, after its modern discovery, that it had become associated with the god Pluto.

5.The Great Sphinx of Giza and the Pyramids are much older than its estimated construction date. Many think this is true due to erosion that can be viewed throughout the multiple structures referenced. When comparing these structures to nearby uncut limestone, there is a clear difference in the degree of erosion. The idea these structures are older is based entirely on this alone. However, organic material that is dated to around 5000 years old can be found embedded inside the stone throughout the sphinx and pyramid's blocks which indicates the structures were created by with mortar-like substance or geopolymer. 5000 year old organic material does not exist inside 65 million year old limestone.

6. Some ancient artifacts are proof of advanced civilizations that predate recorded history. It is a misapprehension to think that any culture before Sumer could be considered an advanced civilization. The criteria for a civilization to be categorized as such is not met by any culture before Sumer. While cutting blocks, building settlements, and creating an advanced calendar such as at Gobekli Tepe are indicative of a civilization, many more elements are necessary for a culture to meet the qualifications to be considered a civilization. #eatthefruitinc

Battling Pseudo

The Great Pyramids are a very controversial subject. Whether a disagreement about their age, who built them, or their function, it seems as though everyone is an expert with no expertise. Today I wanted to discuss the material used to build the pyramids, which is primarily limestone blocks.

It has been proposed that the Egyptians, or whoever built the pyramids, cut blocks of limestone and dragged them across the desert where they hoisted 5 ton blocks into place. Many immediately raise a red flag stating certain things are impossible, even though modern people have tied ropes to 5 ton stones and successfully dragged them across soft sand. Even though a single man using the Herodotus machine can lift a 5 ton stone to basically any height he wants. Regardless, this doesn't appear to be the method used, or even the actual material.

When inspecting limestone in the same region as the pyramids, we notice the pyramids appear deteriorated to a much higher degree than the surrounding limestone rocks. This is why many have determined the age of the pyramids to be much older than most conclude. But things are not always what they seem. The brittle stones of the Great Pyramid have been closely inspected to understand exactly what material was used. In an attempt to locate the actual source, archaeologists found some interesting matter embedded in the blocks of stone themselves. Organic fiber, ash, animal bone and teeth, human hair, and all sorts of foreign organic material that is NEVER found inside typical limestone. Why would material that has been dated to be only 5000 years old, exist inside rock that is supposed to be hundreds of millions of years old? The answer is simple, the stones are not carved, they are casted from a geo-polymer mixture, aka cement.

It has now been determined that the stones used to construct the Great Pyramid were in fact casted and not carved. The University of Memphis Engineering Department has proposed the process in which these blocks were created. Much like 1500 years before the pyramids, the Sumerians used an early form of geo-polymer to construct their ziggurats. Same with some Mesoamerican cultures who casted stones to make intricate shapes which many claim can't be done with modern machinery.

This discovery will allow us to put this subject to rest, at least partially. Although I'm sure many will deny the facts because they WANT the answer to be something else, but bias doesn't influence truth, it only influences promoting pseudo.

Vimanas, Ancient Flying Machines?
Supposedly, ancient Indian texts describe massive flying machines, with propulsion systems and propellers. Where does such a claim come from, and is the source valid?

A Vimana is a large palace, typically designated for royalty. The word Vimana means, having been measured out, which is a reference to the intricacy of construction. While Vimanas are mentioned throughout Hindu texts, their ability of flight is only referenced from the Vimanika Shastra.

The Vimanika Shastra was supposedly dictated ca 1920, and was first recorded in 1954, about 70 years ago. According to Regal, author of Regal's Pseudoscience: A Critical Encyclopedia, vimanas are one of the common attempts to fit elements of ancient cultures into contemporary narratives. When put under scrutiny, the Vaimānika Shāstra "comes off as jibberish".

History is like a game of telephone. The farther the information travels from the source, the more corrupt it becomes. In the pursuit of truth, always refer to the oldest known available source.
