| Nuclear War 12,000 years ago? Posted: 12/13/2008 11:46:45 PM | I'm not a "naysayer" and I think we have lost knowledge for my ancient predecessors that we are doomed to rediscover. HOWEVER, when there are existing logical explanations, I feel no need to grasp at remote possibilities and even re-interpret documents to better reflect my points.
I did read up on both sides of this because I had never heard of it before. There is a lot of misinformation out there coming from the side who would like you to think a Nuclear War took place in ancient history. There are also a lot of sites who will provide you with more logical and more probable scenarios.
I like how one site put it, if there are no existing references to your work then there could very well be a reason it's slipping through historical cracks i.e. the whole theory has so many cracks that it doesn't make it worthwhile to promote.
Some of the "proof" for this theory comes from psychic channeling. So even though there are probable and logical explanations, it's tossed aside by believers because some self-proclaimed psychic had a vision. This isn't about science or rediscovering lost knowledge. This is about people looking for faith and it's also a convenient way to make humanity appear more "special" because were were once more far advanced.
The truth is much knowledge has been lost and it's getting worse. The knowledge greatly revolves around humanity's connection with nature. Science is no longer dismissing some beliefs as primitive but having a sound scientific reason for existing e.g. natives thinking they were part of cycle instead of Christian beliefs that put us more at the top of a pyramid. Many ancient beliefs regarding the cyclical and patterned nature of our existence has been lost but is now being rediscovered because they made ecological sense and we now know that the environment has a bigger impact on us than we like to believe.
This particular theory raised by the Op though has no scientific proof and what proof that does exist has been loosely interpreted or misinterpreted to support the theory. That's not science and that is why it's not being talked about. It has nothing to do with conspiracy theories of repression. | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 8:46:26 AM | I don't know about psychic channeling, but I do know that to suggest nuclear weapon usage during ancient times does challenge conventional thinking and without concrete evidence no modern academia with take it seriously. Even back then, poor Galileo, was under house arrest and told to keep silent because his heliocentric view oppose the popular geocentric view at the time. People tend not to accept new ideas not because it's true or false but because it offends their personal beliefs that has been taught to them since childhood.
Whether or not nuclear weapon was used during ancient times does not concern me, but will nuclear weapons be used during my time is what concerns me and worries me, frankly.
Not sure what 2+2= chicken is all about. However,
2+2 = chicken; whereas chicken = |1+3| : not sure if this is amusing too. | |

Apparently the bomb had the capability to vaporize everything except human bones. | |

Not that I disagree with you, but your numbers are WAY OFF- The universe is believed to be 14 Billion years old- Earth is believed to be 5 Billion years old- life is believed to be 3 Billion years old.....but Mammoths are 30 Trillion years old?
I mean, you are totally right- the lack of any anicent tech is clearly evidence against it- but you don't need to exaggerate......
>>> I'll believe it when Vault 101 turns up.

If 5000 years from now a civilization finds a book on the work of Einstein-would they debunk it as the past? its knowledge of a time and believe me the Mayans and the Egyptians were very scientifically advanced. The Vedas over 10,000 years old are known to hold great information of the universe and its concepts. Our scientists today still cannot geometrically construct the pyramids like the Civilizations before, to see our future we can look to the past. | |
